Chapter 179 : The regular season is over, the match is confirmed, and the small goal is achieved!

Another day passed, that is, April 21st. With the end of the last series of regular season games, the regular season of the NBA 1995J996 season officially came to an end.

The ranking status of the eastern and western divisions has been released. Some people are happy and some are sad.

First, the west side…

The above eight teams have entered the playoffs smoothly and will start to compete in the more intense and fierce playoffs three days later.

The Jazz ranked first is undoubtedly the most eye-catching team. The 72-win regular season wins made everyone who saw this record exclaimed. It’s really crazy. When will the league The tens of the regular season record of victory turned out to start with 7.

This is undoubtedly a historic moment. In the history of the league’s regular season, there is finally a team with more than 70 wins.

Crazy record, crazy team.

The Jazz has created a new history and will be remembered forever!

With the release of the regular season record and the determination of the top eight teams, the Western Conference’s list and matchup status for the playoffs have also been determined.

They are the Jazz VS Kings, Sonics VS Suns, Spurs VS20 Trail Blazers, and Lakers VS Rockets.

As the defending champions and a team with two consecutive championships, the Rockets who have officially started to attack the dynasty this season are only ranked fifth in the Western Conference, which is a bit incredulous, but no one will doubt their strength.

Because they have Olajuwon, because they have Drexler, because they have Kenny? Smith, Sam? A series of outstanding players such as Kassel, the overall combat power is very good.

Even if there is no home court advantage, but in the matchup with the Lakers, the Rockets are still widely optimistic.

The confrontation between the Spurs and the Trail Blazers, as well as the Sonics and the Suns, is considered to be a close matchup. The strength of the four teams is not bad, and they have their own opponents during the regular season. There is no one-sided situation of victory or defeat, so the playoffs may be relatively stalemate.

Of course, these are all guesses, and the specifics depend on the actual situation of each team on the court.

As for the game between the Jazz ranked number one in the West and the Kings team ranked eighth in the West, apart from the latter’s diehard fans, few people really think that the Kings can win this series, most of them People are more optimistic about the Jazz.

Because they are too strong.

The four kings of Utah are all All-Star players, with Adam? Kiefer, Ostertag, Felton? Spencer, Greg? Foster’s series of unique role players and toolmen have a very good overall combat power.

If you have to pick the bones in the egg, then the Jazz’s old problem this season…The lack of ability of the players at the small forward position, whether it is offensive or defensive, is relatively ordinary, and it will definitely be targeted by the opponent.

Of course, Stockton and Hornacek’s two major defenders themselves are strong and defensive. In the highly targeted playoffs, they will definitely be targeted by their opponents.

Just look at Jerry? How did Sloan deal with and adjust his tactics!

As players, Wang Pan, they are more on the court in accordance with the instructions of the coach.

Of course, many times there will be some of my own ideas and on-the-spot response. Anyway, as long as it does not affect the outcome of the game, the head coach generally ignores it.

Well, anyway Wang Pan thinks so, and does the same, Jerry? Sloan never criticized or mentored him for this.

This should be the default… right?

Everyone in the team: Of course you think so. The coaches almost treat you as a two-character pet. If we do it like this, I am afraid I won’t have to play in this life.

His eyes shifted to the Eastern Division in a timely manner, and his regular season rankings are as follows…

Obviously, it can be seen that in the Eastern Conference, the strength of the Bulls and the Magic is obviously better than the other teams. The third to seventh-placed teams are actually not far behind. The Heat’s record in eighth place is clearly behind the mainstream.

Compared with the situation of one superpower in the West, the East is obviously in a situation of two superpowers. The strength of the Magic this season can be said to have reached the most DIAN peak state in the history of its team building.

Team Shaquille? O’Neal and Anfenni? Hardaway, a pair of super giants on the inside and outside lines as the core, coordinated with Denis? Scott, Nick? Anderson, Horais? Grant and other outstanding players have built an extremely strong and reasonable team lineup.

The elimination of the Bulls led by Jordan in the Eastern Conference semifinals last season is enough to show their strength.

This season the two cores have become more mature and powerful, and the strength of the entire Magic team has reached its peak!

To be honest, if it wasn’t for Shaquille late in the season? O’Neal habitually chooses to truce and accumulate energy to cope with the playoffs. The Magic’s regular season record can at least improve by a bit, reaching 66 wins should not be a big problem.

As for the Bulls…After determining that they could not surpass the Jazz to top the regular season record, they played very relaxed and perfunctory for the rest of the game, and ultimately failed to reach 70 wins. They came full of ambition, but it was a pity. ending.

All because of the Jazz, because of the appearance of Wang Pan.

Now that the top eight places in the regular season in the Eastern Conference have already come out, the specific match list is actually clear.

Specifically, the Bulls VS the Heat, the Magic VS the Eagles, the Pacers VS the Pistons, and the Cavaliers VS the Knicks! Of the four matchups, the most interesting match is undoubtedly the Bulls vs. Heat. After all, it is the matchup between the gods of basketball.

When Michael? Jordan encounters the iron-blooded defense of the Heat, what sparks will burst out, whether it can continue to continue his efficient performance, everyone is looking forward to it. At this point, the first round of the playoffs in the East and West Divisions have all come out.

In terms of competition system, different from previous lives, the first round of the playoffs of this era is still a five-match three-win system. After entering the second round, that is, the semi-final stage, it will be a seven-match four-win system, which reduces the players to a certain extent. pressure.

Under such a situation, which team has the home court advantage in the first round of the game, the impact is really too great.

Adhering to the order of 221, that is, two home games, two away games, and one home game, if the team with a more dominant regular season record can win all the first two home games, it has already won the match point. , The pressure on the opponent will be extremely huge.

In the next two games, you only need to fight another away victory to win the entire series.

Even if two away games were lost, the remaining decisive battles would go back to the home court, which was still the dominant game.

The role of home advantage is reflected!

At this point, the Jazz are undoubtedly an advantage…

After the semifinal game system was changed to a 7-match 4-win system, the test was the stability and hard power of the team as a whole.

Of course, a team with home court advantage can always maintain this advantage until the end as long as the home game does not lose.

At this moment, in Salt Lake City, Energy Solutions Arena…

Since the last game of the regular season ended on April 20th, the team has started closed training. Every day from 9:30 in the morning until 4:30 in the afternoon, the players are all soaking in the ball. Inside the hall.

In accordance with the training tasks assigned by the instructor, practice with quality and quantity.

And gathered together to analyze the opponent’s situation.

Wang Pan is undoubtedly the most enviable among all the players on the field, because Selena was hired by the team as his personal trainer, who can accompany the team for training. Dorn, who retired before, is also the one who retired before. Entered into the team.

Under the double care of his girlfriend and old husband, Wang Pan’s training plan and content can be said to be the most detailed in the team.

The intensity is as big as ever.

It can be seen that the team really wants to bind him to the Jazz chariot. It doesn’t matter if you see through it, Wang Pan focused on practicing.

Once the playoffs really start, Wang Pan’s extra training volume will definitely decrease with it, but it can’t affect the game because of this, that’s a sin.

“Okay, today’s game is over. Everyone, go home and have a good rest. Tomorrow night will start the first game of the series with the Kings. Don’t put too much pressure on everyone. We have a great advantage and follow the established tactics. Just think about it.”

After clapping his hands and attracting everyone’s attention, Jerry? Sloan announced that today’s team training ended early.

Did not leave the court as usual, Jerry? Sloan stood on the sidelines, watching the players leave one by one…

The playoffs will officially begin tomorrow. As the team’s head coach, Jerry? The pressure on Sloan’s shoulders is not small.

Seeing that all the players have left, Wang Pan and Selena, as well as the two instrumental trainers arranged for him by the team, are still on the court, Jerry? Sloan couldn’t help coming over: “Wang, in the playoffs, you have to control the amount of daily extra training. M “It’s almost enough…”


Subconsciously replied, Wang Pan suddenly reacted. Under the inexplicable gaze of his own coach, he responded: “I will practice for another half an hour and I will go back. It will not affect the game tomorrow night.”

“Well, I heard it for only half an hour, Jerry? Sloan nodded slightly. With Wang Pan’s physical stamina, half an hour of extra training will definitely not be a problem, and the look in his eyes is obviously relieved.



As far as rookies are concerned, Wang Pan is really worrying.

Then I encouraged a few words from Wang Pan, Jerry? Sloan turned around and left…

“Uncle Jerry cares about you.” Selena stepped forward and smiled.

Nodding, Wang Pan seriously said: “In order to repay the coach’s approval, all I can do is help the team win the game. Okay, let’s continue practicing.”

“Well, Selena will naturally not refuse Wang Pan’s words. After agreeing, she walked to the side with her small notebook. The two training tool men started to pass the ball, and Wang Pan continued to practice the ball. Three-point shot.

Saying half an hour is half an hour, one minute is not too much, one second is not too much, Wang Pan finished today’s extra training, and immediately appeared in front of him the prompt characters that only he could see…

[Three-point attribute proficiency +3, proficiency reaches the improvement requirement, three-point attribute +1! 】

Seeing this information, Wang Pan heaved a sigh of relief. After more than a year, he has reached an extremely accurate level of control of his progress bar, and he can see his current three-point attribute at a glance. The progress bar of has reached the critical point of upgrade, I am afraid that only one or two points of proficiency can be upgraded.

Thinking about saving a little is a little bit, the amount of increase in non-attribute proficiency is extremely rare every time. It is not easy to accumulate a few hundred points. It is still necessary to save a little bit, so I decided to practice for an hour and a half, and it really was an upgrade.

Without further training, I thanked the two staff who helped him practice, and after indicating that they could get off work, Wang Pan took Selena back to the dressing room, and the two were in the small room of YU. After being excited, I finished packing and returned to the villa.

Ye Ye, when Selena next to her had fallen asleep, Wang Pan said silently and opened her own attribute panel, ready to take a closer look at her current strength status…? …
