Chapter 183: Li Shengli, don't run!

In the NBA's Black March, there will always be a few major teams that have suffered a sharp decline in the record, but the Utah Jazz is an accident. It is not like maintaining the sixth position in the West in the middle of the season. Instead, it ranked first. Four.
After playing the Spurs in the second half of the year, until the end of March, the Jazz played 6 games, with a total of 72 games. With a record of 46 wins and 26 losses, it entered the last less than a month of the regular season, and this final journey... …The teams really did their best.
Regardless of the east and the west, the strong teams strive for the upper reaches. After all, the schedule for the playoffs is the first to the last, the eighth in the first and the seventh in the second. The record represents strength. The higher the ranking, the more opponents in the first round. Relatively weaker.
　　As for the Black Eight Miracle? Up to now, it has never appeared in the history of NBA. It is the first in the eighth, all in the first round.
　　 Unlike the strong teams that strive for the upper reaches, the East and West fish huddle teams are swimming in the stinky ditch, there is no hope of the playoffs, there is no hope of the bottom of the league?
　　 It's really difficult to be the first in the East and West, but if you want to occupy the bottom position in the record and get the lottery pick of this year's draft, is that still possible?
　　 It’s not that the fish-meat team deliberately put it down. After half of the regular season, how much water can basically be seen, and seeing the hopeless playoffs, I’m really sorry if I don’t take advantage of it.
　　 So in the last April of the regular season, the whole league opened the flowers.
　　The strong team played the strong team, playing fiercely, just to improve the ranking in the final stage.
The weak team played the weak team and played very fiercely. After all, this kind of thing can't be put on the table. No team will publicly admit it, so this is a contest of acting skills. "It should be." The press conference after the event was very regrettable. It took the emotion to the extreme and put the unwillingness and resentment of losing to the face.
　　 As for the strong team playing the weak team, it is basically playing at random, because the wins and losses, the results have been written according to the script, the strong team naturally has no reason to lose...
　　……
　　Because the regular season of this season is coming to an end, the schedule is complete, and the playoffs are scheduled for April 29th, and the Jazz have the last 10 games before this.
At the beginning of April, the first game of the Houston Rockets, Li Shengli and Olajuwon met again, but in this game, as the top rocket in the Western Conference, the Jazz lost 10 points behind the game, even if Li Shengli and Malone's inside combination Also failed to restore the decline.
　　After playing the Rockets, the Jazz next played against the Nuggets, Warriors, and Kings, winning in three games.
The Nuggets are frantically wandering on the edge of the Western playoffs, because the remaining games are running out, want to hit the playoffs, every game is a fight, and the Jazz has a 12-point momentum .
It is worth mentioning that the Nuggets' All-Star center Mutombo in the previous game against the Los Angeles Clippers, blocked the opponent 12 times in a single game, but... against the Jazz, the victory against Li was At a loss, even if the Nuggets played stably, they still trailed by 3 points and lost to the Jazz.
　　 The remaining Warriors.
　　 is not as good as the Nuggets for the time being. After playing halftime, the score difference is too big to simply stop playing, and Jerry Sloan also started to train heavily. After halftime... The bench will take turns to find the feel.
　　 is the king again.
　　 As the bottom of the west, there is no meaning to resist. It is purely a blind play. The atmosphere of the game is quite relaxed. The jazz wants to win, the king wants to lose, and the two sides hit it off. The jazz wrote +1 to the king's defeat.
　　……
　　 In the remaining games, there was an away game against the Magic, and O'Neill and Lee won. This is the first time the two have met since the last All-Star game.
　　 Unlike the Jazz, the Eastern Magic and Western Nuggets are in a similar situation. They are currently wandering outside the playoffs, taking further playoff tickets and taking a step back to watch TV, so this game is also a fierce fight.
　　 O'Neal's current average data is 23.2 points, 13.9 rebounds, plus 3.5 blocks, 1.9 assists, for a rookie, this is simply incredible.
　　 However, Li Shengli is also incredible.
After joining the Jazz, he averaged 20.3 points, 15.6 rebounds, 4.2 blocks, and 2.4 assists per game. In addition to scoring data, O'Neal all over.
　　 There is no way to score.
The combination with Marlon's Li Ma, the inside team is indeed strong, but it is still the issue of who will shoot it. Fortunately, the two have not been distressed by this, adhering to the principle of who has the chance to fight, and repeatedly blasting the opponent's inside line, and Correspondingly... Malone's scoring and rebounding data have dropped a lot.
　　 But everything should be divided into two, there are pros and cons, pros and cons.
As the top power forward in active service, Malone is well-known for his personal strength. He is also very happy to sacrifice some of the data. After all... his desire for the championship is stronger than everyone, and Li's ability to win is already obtained by the entire Jazz. Recognition is worth his sacrifice.
　　……
　　Jazz plays magic, there is suspense, but definitely not big.
Unsurprisingly, the Jazz had a 23-point advantage in the first half, and the Magic... except O'Neal can play, other positions are not enough to see, so basically the jazz with a winning ticket handed the second half to Li Shengli and O'Neill The two performed, the basket was against each other, and they fought each other frantically.
　　 So the entire third quarter was completely flowered.
　　 It wasn’t the two teams that spent the match, but the match between the two players. It turned the game into a bullfight. Competing all the data, a whole section... Lee victory covered O’Neal’s 6 caps and O’Neill also returned 5.
　　 Section 11 What is the concept of hat?
　　 After playing four quarters of blocks in a general game, it is not necessary to have more than this, and the two of them occupy most of the shots of their respective teams, almost playing red eyes.
　　Play to play, play to play, you can't make fun of Li Shengli.
The Jazz have already secured the victory. It’s not good to play like this. After all, they still have to prepare for the playoffs. No one wants to get some injuries on the eve of the playoffs, so the third quarter is not over yet, Jerry S. Long replaced Li Shengli.
What?
　　 This is gone?
Because Li Shengli covered him more, O'Neill jumped and scolded... Li Shengli, you don't want to run, you almost dragged Li Shengli away. The players on both sides watched Khan, if they knew that the relationship between the two was good, they thought they wanted to do it. What.
　　Li Shengli's side is also a headache.
　　 run?
　　 Run a fart!
　　Who wants to run, the coach will not let me play, what can I do?
　　……
　　 In the end, Mike Brown played for Lee victory, and the smoky O'Neal vented all his anger on Mike Brown, chasing Mike Brown.
　　Regarding my fart?
　　 Why are you chasing me?
He played in garbage time and was chased by a rookie. This face was completely smashed. As a second-rate center, Mike Brown knew his status, but he still struggled because he was beaten by O'Neal. Fortunately, Not much time left in the third quarter. The Magic gave up resistance, replaced O'Neal, and Mike Brown was saved.
　　 In the fourth quarter, it was time for training again. The Jazz's bench lineup was in poor condition and he was unable to maintain the points difference, but he still won the Magic with an 8-point lead.
　　……
　　 retired after the game, Li Shengli and O'Neill got together again, Croti followed the pace, like a bodyguard.
　　 "Shake, how does it feel to eat my hat?" Li Shengli smiled happily.
"Shit, it's as if your hasn't been covered by me~EbookFREE.me~ If it weren't for you, I could beat your head!" O'Neill was furious, "Look and see, see you next time You must be overthrown!"
　　 "The next time I'm fart, the next time I meet is next season, I want to play... to play in the playoffs, how about meeting in the finals?"
　　Meet the finals?
　　 What's so funny!
At present, the Magic want to get tickets for the Eastern Conference playoffs, but the Jazz are different. The Jazz team this season has already begun to overtake in the corner. It is definitely a hot team in the West. The final meeting, it sounds like nonsense.
　　 "Go, go, don't let me see you again in Orlando!"
O'Neal walked away with a cold face. At the Magic's current level, the chance of reaching the finals is basically zero, but there is no hope this season, it does not mean that there will be no future... This year's draft may be an opportunity, as long as he is equipped A few young guys who can play, or a few eye-catching partners through trading, he is confident that the playoffs are absolutely no problem.
　　You can beat the younger brother?
　　 Come to a younger brother who can fight!
　　O'Neill really can't wait, after all, Li Shengli has already drove to the western playoffs, and he is still worried about the tickets for the eastern playoffs.
It’s embarrassing that the Magic can’t stand up now. If you can’t make the playoffs and get a ninth in the Eastern Conference, then this year’s draft will basically fail to get a good seed. After all... With the awkward position in the Eastern Conference, think To get the top three picks in the draft, this probability is too small.
