NBA: I Really Have No Talent

Chapter 369 : At the end of the regular season, the whole person is not good!

The regular season of the 96-97 season has entered the final stage of the final sprint. The players who hovered on the edge of the playoffs desperately wanted to win a few more games, thinking about being able to enter the playoffs, and those who have been determined to enter the postseason. Teams with relatively stable rankings are starting to gather strength and accumulate for the playoffs.

Of course, there are also some teams that have been determined to enter the playoffs. They are still fighting for the opponents they encountered in the first round. They are looking forward to the team’s regular season rankings.

This does not include the Jazz, they have already begun to play health and Buddhism basketball.

Wang Pan and Lao Ma are the absolute cores of the team. They only play 25 minutes up and down in each game. After that, they sit on the court while drinking goji berries while watching the performance of the benches such as Daben on the court. Commenting on a few words from time to time, quite a kind of guidance.

Everyone can tell that the Jazz’s mind has shifted to the playoffs.

At the same time, in the Bulls conference room in the Chicago United Center Arena, the team’s head coach Phil? Jackson and the team’s absolute core Michael? Jordan 20 Dan is having an important one-on-one dialogue that determines the next tactical direction of the Bulls.

“The Jazz has clearly begun to take back strength. Jerry? Sloan controlled Karl? Malone, Wang, John? Stockton, and Jeff? Hornacek’s playing time, and began to give the team’s playing time. The substitute players have more time to play, and they have entered the preparatory stage for the playoffs.”

Across the desk, looking at Michael seriously? Jordan, Phil? There was a look of expectation in Jackson’s eyes.

Hearing that, although he didn’t say anything clearly, he spent so long with each other and knew so well. How could Jordan not know what the deep meaning of the Zen master’s words were, he took a deep sip of his cigar, and slowly removed the smoke from his mouth. After breathing out his breath, he said: “Then we have a chance to grab the first place in the league from them.”

“As expected of you, that’s what I think.” Phil? Jackson exclaimed.

Jordan grinned: “You should have guessed it a long time ago. My answer is definitely different from the answer you want.”

“I’m actually just a symbolic question. Since you want to fight, and you really have a certain degree of hope, then we will continue to maintain the intensity for the rest of the game.” That said, but Phil? In fact, Jackson kept sighing in his heart that he essentially didn’t want to fight for the first place in the league in the regular season.

The Bulls can now ensure that their regular season record is ranked first in the Eastern Conference. This is actually enough. There is no need to compete with the Jazz for the first place in the regular season, even if it may be related. The issue of home court advantage in the future finals.

But it is really not worth the gain!

Compared with the Jazz, the age composition of the Bulls is undoubtedly much older, so in the last dozen regular season games, the best choice is actually to start to appropriately reduce the offensive and defensive intensity, and control Jordan, etc. The playing time of the team’s core players is to accumulate for the playoffs that will officially start in a month.

Unfortunately, Jordan’s paranoid and victorious character made this wish of the Zen Master doomed to be unfulfilled, and the old exiles would certainly not choose this safe way.

If they succeeded in winning the championship last season, Jordan might relax and not fight for it, but they were defeated by the Jazz last season and finished runner-up. They still lost the game despite the horrific confrontation in the tiebreaker, and their unwillingness was beyond words.

So as long as there is a certain chance, Jordan will definitely not allow himself to fall behind the Jazz, thus losing the home court advantage in the finals again. If the Bulls had the home-court advantage last season, it would be hard to say who wins and loses in the end.

Whenever he thought of this, Jordan felt very angry in his heart. He had known that then he would work harder to keep the league’s first position!

Encountered the same situation again this time, it was reasonable for Jordan to choose to fight.

Knowing that this old exile’s decision cannot be changed, Phil? Jackson didn’t waste his tongue, so he just agreed.

Ever since, the Bulls did not slack in the remaining dozen or so regular season games, and continued to maintain a very high intensity of the game, and the main players did not rest or control their playing time at all. They wanted to win!

This situation could not escape the discerning eyes of fans and spectators, and they immediately noticed what the Bulls were thinking…

“Compared to the Jazz’s attitude towards the game during this period, the Bulls can be said to have spared no effort to win all the remaining regular season games. This is an effort to compete for the regular season league. The rhythm of the first position!”

“It’s two wins short, but the Jazz has won both games in the regular season. So if the Bulls want to win the league’s first position, they must lead the Jazz by at least one game. , A tie is a loss!” “There are only a dozen regular season games left. I took a cursory look. Among the next opponents of the Jazz, there is no super player that can pose too much threat to them. The team, even if they close the fight, feel like they can’t lose a few games. The Bulls will probably be busy this time.”

“From the perspective of the age composition of the players, the Jazz occupies a considerable advantage. They also started to accumulate for the playoffs ahead of schedule. The Bulls players originally did not have an advantage in their age composition. I always feel that the gain will outweigh the loss in the end.”

“I have this feeling too, but it’s too early to say this kind of thing. No matter whether the Bulls can pull the Jazz from the league’s first position, whether the two teams can do it in the playoffs. Their respective competition areas stand out, and it is still unknown now, and the other teams are not spectators!”

U 99 ignored the harassment from the outside world. Since entering the final sprint stage, players on the Jazz side have been banned from contact with reporters by the coaching staff, and their daily training has been changed to closed practice. , In addition to returning home to rest after the home training, try to prevent too much contact with the outside world.

I devoted myself to the game and preparing for the playoffs.

Under such circumstances, the regular season game continues.

Just as the fans said, the Jazz’s remaining dozen or so regular season opponents, judging from the paper combat power, the overall strength does not pose too much of a threat to the Jazz.

Except for the Lakers, no other team can be called a top-notch team, and the regular season rankings have been relatively fixed, and there is no situation of fighting for the playoffs. In the next month and five days, the Jazz completed the remaining 15 games of the regular season in accordance with the established rhythm and plan.

Achieved an excellent record of 12 wins and 3 losses.

This season’s regular season record was finally fixed at 72 wins and 10 losses, the same as last season!

On the other hand, their direct competitor, the Bulls, fought their lives. In the end, only one game was lost in the remaining dozen games. The regular season record was also 72 wins and 10 losses, but because of the two teams’ regular season Both matchups ended with the Jazz winning, so once the two teams met in the finals, the Jazz still had the home court advantage.

Judging from the results, the Bulls’ hard work in the final stage of the final sprint was purely in vain, and the whole person is not good…? …
