Showdown, I'm the God of Basketball

Chapter 523 The playoffs are coming
On April 4, the last game of the NBA regular season.

Bucks VS Nets.

Before the game, Kidd whispered to Zhao Hao: "Don't even miss the first round, then the Bucks and you may also become the laughing stock of this league."

Kidd's words are naturally telling Zhao Hao that the Bucks' bench strength is really bad, even if they broke out at the end of the season and their defensive strength is close to that of the starting lineup, but after all, the next game is the playoffs.

Want to gain a foothold in the playoffs with just one defense?Then the Nets will not have difficulty breaking out of the Eastern Conference in the playoffs every time!
Moreover, this group of substitutes and some starters of the Bucks have hardly played any playoffs!

Zhao Hao smiled and said, "I believe my brothers will not let me down."

Hearing that Zhao Hao called the group of final substitutes brothers and sisters, Kidd looked up at him in a little shock.

Sure enough, Zhao Hao's team always has role players who explode in the playoffs for a reason.

"Don't worry, I will give the Cavaliers a little color in the second round and let them know that the entire league is not afraid of him."

At present, the Cavaliers have achieved a record of 72 wins and 9 losses. They only need to win tonight's game to surpass the 72 wins and 10 losses of the Bulls dynasty during Jordan's era.

Become the real top team in history!

Coincidentally, in tonight's game they met the Lakers, the second-best team in the league.

A Mars-to-Earth race is inevitable.

Kobe even released harsh words before the game, "It is bound to keep the glory of Big Brother."

And this game once again attracted Jordan's attention.

This is the second time this season that Qiao Gangzhu, who has his own stereo, pays attention to the NBA arena.

The first time was because of the slam dunk contest, and the second time was when Kobe blocked James to lead the team to a record 73 wins tonight.

In addition to Jordan being attracted by this game, other members of the Bull Dynasty also came to the Quicken Loans Arena.

Scottie Pippen, Tony Kukic, Luke Longley, Dennis Rodman... and Lakers head coach Phil Jackson.

Phil Jackson: "The record of 72 wins is not only for the Bulls and these players, but also for me!

So Kobe wants to keep the glory for his big brother, and I also want to lead the Lakers to keep my own glory! "

Zhao Hao came back to his senses, the game between the Lakers and the Cavaliers had just been played for a while, and he had to wait until after the game to pay attention.

As for whether Kobe and the Lakers can stop James and the Cavaliers, he is really curious.

So back to Kidd, Zhao Hao continued the topic just now and said: "Are you so confident that you can beat your opponent in the first round?"

Kidd said, "Underestimate me?"

Tonight's game, the Nets Trident all truce, so it is rare for Kidd to take a break throughout the season.

The Nets have also confirmed the fourth place in the Eastern Conference, just waiting for the Raptors or Magic to win tonight.

Because the two games of the two teams started very early, the game here started after the game over there was over.

So Kidd also waited for the result before the game started.

"Both teams have lost!

In order to avoid the Cavaliers, they simply lost their conscience. "Kidd is also scolding unhappily here.

Because the two teams are afraid of meeting the Cavaliers, they are almost becoming Oscar statuettes!
It's just that the records of the two teams were already even before tonight, so what if they both lost?
Kenny Smith soon announced the changes in the East's rankings after that game.

"Because the Magic had 1 win and 2 losses against the Raptors in the regular season, they also fell directly to sixth place in terms of record. This can be regarded as a successful avoidance of the Cavaliers."

At the same time, Raptors coach Sam Mitchelldi, who was being interviewed after the game, burst into foul language.

"The Magic are really a treacherous villain. They must have known that they would succeed in falling to sixth in the Eastern Conference, so they are so confident!"

Stan Van Gundy, who was also interviewed: "Yeah, we just wanted to avoid the Cavaliers, and we succeeded.

Shame on you? "

Kidd sighed, and said, "The Bucks, the third-ranked team in the Eastern Conference, are underestimated!
You also have to give them some color to see. "

Kidd hesitated and then continued: "But don't underestimate the Magic this season, Howard is very difficult to deal with!"

Zhao Hao smiled, is it really difficult to deal with?

"You Kidd just wait for Howard to be hammered!"

In this game, the Bucks also cooperated with the Nets to rest Zhao Hao and Yao Ming.

As for the reason for the rotation, Cole is much more level than Mike Brown's big bald head.

"Insomnia! Headache!"

Seeing that Zhao Hao was still talking and laughing with Kidd, and Yao Ming was laughing and laughing with his teammates on the bench, Cole couldn't bear it any longer.

"Please, one of you suffers from insomnia and the other has a headache, and you both have to pretend to be a little more troublesome on the court!"

Yao Ming laughed embarrassingly, and then directly fell on the eyebrowless hero and pretended to sleep.

Seeing that Zhao Hao remained indifferent, Lu Fen stood up directly from his seat, raised his fist the size of a sandbag, and was about to beat Zhao Hao on the head.

"What an idiot you are!"

In this game, Cole also came up with a brand new lineup, intending to train for the last time before the playoffs.

Point guard Charlie Bell, shooting guard Roy Ivey, small forward Desmond Mason, power forward Charlie Villanueva and center Yi Jianlian.

Kenny Smith said: "Without Zhao Hao and Yao Ming, the Bucks lineup really has no deterrent power, and scoring is also a big problem for them."

After the start of the game, the Bucks still played their classic pass and cut cooperation, and Yi Jianlian mentioned high-position support.

It's just that after the outside line lacks an absolute containment point and a point to destroy the defense, the Bucks' offense on the field is not smooth.

Charlie Bell tried to shoot wide from the outside, and Desmond Mason also missed the outside line. Only the eyebrowless hero cut in with Yi Jianlian's wonderful pass and scored two points.

"Fortunately, the Bucks' defense improved a lot at the end of the season, otherwise the Nets would have blown the game in the first quarter."

The groom had no interest in watching the game either.

The Bucks' wonderful off-the-ball pass-and-cut tactics are no longer visible. Instead, they are endless strikes and strikes, which is simply boring.

What makes the groom even more boring is that your Bucks still have the strength to fight in the first quarter. What will you do in the second quarter?
Nothing to expect.

After all, the lower-level players in the league have already been won in the first quarter, who else can be won in the second quarter?

It's impossible not to let Yi Jianlian and Charlie Villanueva rest!
"On the Bucks, apart from Zhao Hao and Yao Ming, only these two can score in double figures per game."

At 18:24, the first quarter ended and the Bucks trailed by 6 points.

Cole also discovered the problem on the court, that is, no one can score!

He also had to replace Yi Jianlian and Charlie Villanueva in the second quarter, and put on Ruffin and Bobby Simmons.

It's just that after the two entered the field, the offense in this field became more constipated.

35: 45.

"Fortunately, the Nets are not a strong offensive team. We still played a tenacious defense. Otherwise, the game would be ugly."

Cole said very worriedly.

But Zhao Hao kept yelling at the field from the sidelines.

"Roy, this ball was defended beautifully!
You have to take out the three-point success you have trained, and you can't blindly leave everything to the defense! "

"Rufen, Ruffin, oh, it's about you, you can't keep up when you're old, you can't keep up, can you foul?
Which would you choose, the two points you must score or the free throws you may miss? "

"Don't be stingy with your fouls, even if it is a penalty shootout, we are not afraid, just be tough!"

Under Zhao Hao's shouting and influence, not to mention the players on the court played more confidently, and they didn't care about their poor talent and offensive skills at all.

Dayao and Yi Jianlian also joined the bench cheerleaders one after another to cheer for the teammates on the field.

The Bucks also became more and more fierce on the defensive end, and even defended the Nets to score 3 points within 0 minutes!
Kidd was dumbfounded: "The defense of this group of substitutes is already so good?"

In the second half, Yi Jianlian no longer completely handed over the offense to his teammates.

He made a three-point shot at the top of the arc and a long two-pointer directly broke the Bucks' scoring deadlock and once tied the score.

It's just that the strength of the Nets' bench lineup is still much stronger. In the fourth quarter, the Bucks couldn't hold on and were taken away by a wave of rampage.

80:92, a big defeat with more than 10 points!

After the game, Cole also wanted to encourage the players, after all, they played really hard on the court.

As a result, Zhao Hao rushed directly to the court and gave his teammates high fives to celebrate.

"Good job! He even defended the Nets to only score 92 points!
This defense, even if Dayao and I come up, we can't do it! "

Lu Fen proudly raised his nose and said, "Just kidding, with me leading them, there will be no chaos in this battle!"

In terms of shameless aura, Ruffin has always been very strict.

As for the others, it was even more elated.

Roy Ivey made 8 of 3 three-pointers in this game, and was named and praised by Zhao Hao, "This is Roy! This is the three-point extra training he has worked hard all season!
In the future, if he has an open chance, everyone should feel free to pass it on to him! "

Roy Ivy smiled embarrassedly.

What he didn't tell others is that because of his performance at the end of the season and the defensive strength he showed, the Timberwolves, who had already been eliminated, had contacted his agent and asked about the possibility of getting him in the offseason.

Thinking that at the beginning of the season, I was still worrying about the future, worrying about my next job, but now not only is this season stable, but my future job has already been settled.

Roy Ivy couldn't help but have a sore nose, and said: "Brother Hao, you are right! We should all be more professional and grasp the present moment. As for future affairs and transactions, we don't need to care about them at all!
It depends on people to make things happen, and it depends on God! .As long as you want me, I will not go anywhere! "

Zhao Hao, who returned to the locker room, also suddenly heard a simple ringtone from his cell phone.

Zhao Hao turned on the phone and found out that it was Corvo calling, subconsciously he felt a lump in his heart.

Americans have always had a habit of never calling on things that are not important. A man like Kobe who only has his own friend regards this habit as a code of conduct and never goes beyond half a step.

so.
beep.

Kobe said directly on the phone: "The Lakers lost."

The beep sounded again soon.

call ended.

Sure enough, he is a blacksmith!

Cole walked into the locker room anxiously, saw everyone behind him, held a few pieces of paper in his hand and said, "The Lakers lost!"

He also got the news, and the process shocked him.

Those few pieces of paper are the detailed statistics after the game between the Lakers and the Cavaliers.

科比40分7篮板4助攻，很明显他已经尽力了，只是命中率却只有惨淡的35中10。

加内特30分16篮板7助攻3盖帽，你也不能希望他还能做得更多了，但是末尾还有他失误7次的数据。

In addition to the two Lakers, Odom has the best statistics, with 6 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists.

Zhao Hao couldn't imagine that with such a deep lineup of the Lakers, the third place in scoring was Odom with only 6 points.

"What a terrifying defense and targeted arrangement!
And Mike Brown is only good at pre-match arrangements, not good at on-the-spot scheduling at all, so who made up for him? "

Zhao Hao subconsciously thought of Billups, the brain of the team.

It should be only him.

What's even more frightening is that the twin stars of Kobe and Garnett have scored 70 points, but still lost the game.

The Lakers scored only 99 points in total, not even breaking a hundred!

Yao Ming swallowed, and couldn't help asking: "Then what about the Cavaliers?!"

“詹姆斯30分10篮板10助攻，加索尔20分14篮板，比卢普斯16分5篮板8助攻。

The six Cavaliers scored in double figures! " Cole took a deep breath and said.

99: 110.

The battle between the Cavaliers and the Lakers was very intense, and the whole game was very anxious, but the final result was like this.

"So the Cavaliers finally got 73 wins and 9 losses, breaking the record set by the Bulls!"

Zhao Hao smiled with a sigh of relief.

He knew that the reason why Corbett called him was to tell him to be careful about the Cavaliers, because the opponent was stronger than everyone imagined.

Jordan was interviewed after the game.

"The Cavaliers are strong, congratulations to them for setting a new league record, but I don't like them! I don't like the Celtics either!
I like the Nets, the Bucks, Kidd, and Zhao Hao. They will definitely give the Cavaliers some color. "

Because of Jordan's words, the entire basketball world exploded.

Everyone is discussing the Eastern Conference where the playoffs have been confirmed. Who will be the opponent of the Cavaliers?

The Nets were severely thrown aside, and the Bucks put it into this discussion, but they were quickly thrown out. Their matchup with the Cavaliers was also considered a 4:0 sweep.

It touches the Celtics are slightly optimistic.

4:1, that's all.

The final answer is no one!

"Looking at the entire league, maybe only the Lakers have the hope of winning two games from the Cavaliers, and the Spurs who got O'Neal also have this ability.

But it is impossible for any team to win 7 games against the Cavaliers in the 4-win round system. It is absolutely impossible. "

Barkley couldn't help but think of the panic caused to the league during the Bulls dynasty.

And the Cavaliers are now more deterrent than they were then.

　Thanks to the big brother Joshua for the reward.

　　Then tomorrow in the NBA Finals, although the Cannons and the Suns are still favored.

　　But I still hope the Bucks will win.

　　Without him, 84% of gamblers will bet on the sun to win tomorrow.
