On April 11, the Warriors came to Los Angeles, this is their second game back to back.
The current Warriors team is also a record of "no highs, no lows". They are currently ranked sixth in the west, but it is difficult to rise to the fifth in the west, and it is impossible to drop to the seventh in the west.
For the Warriors, the West is sixth and the playoffs are going to play the Clippers; the West is fifth and the playoffs are going to deal with the Rockets. Both of these opponents are similar. Both are teams with inside and outside lines and benches. None of them It’s a soft persimmon, and the Warriors beat them all in between five and five.
Curry saw his idol Zhang Guan, looked quite excited, but his hands were not soft at all, the game got a triple-double data.
Clay Thompson, the other of the Splash Brothers, had a bad hand and even made 2 of 5 free throws. As a person who eats by shooting, free throws are like this, and normal shooting need not be counted on.
The current Warriors mainly rely on the Water Brothers' shooting. This type of team is actually not terrible. The Warriors have been from the early Beard Davis era to the later Monta Ellis era. Playing like this, the large group of pitchers back then brought the Warriors the "Black Eight Miracle."
And the reason why this Warriors team can win the championship, Draymond Green's role is indispensable. Green can be regarded as the team's "glue". In the future, Green will average more than 7 assists per game, which also shows that Green is the "true core" of the Warriors.
Today, Green has not grown up yet. The Warriors' starting striker is still Iguodala. In the years when Iguodala was injured, Green still had to compete with Harrison Barnes for the starting spot. Ens's technique and playing time are also more than Green's.
Steve Kerr has not yet become the head coach of the Warriors. The Warriors do not have the future three-point tactical system. The current coach of the Warriors, Mark Jackson, trusts David Lee. David Lee can average 14.2 shots per game in this Warriors team, which is similar to Klay Thompson, which also proves that the Warriors have a lot of offense. All come from inside. In the future, under Steve Cole, David Lee's number of shots has been reduced to 6.4. His reduced number of shots is basically given to Green.
This game is also the same, David-Lee took more shots, but his shooting rate is not as good as Curry. As an inside player, his shooting percentage is not as good as an outside shooter. David Lee's performance today is bad.
The Warriors have no problem entering the playoffs, so the players are not as desperate as the Lakers. What's more, the Lakers rested for two days, waiting for work, and playing at home, regardless of physical strength or momentum, the Warriors are the second game back to back.
It is difficult for a team like the Warriors to shoot three-pointers. It is difficult to kill a stick. If you don’t pay attention to a few three-pointers, the score will change quickly, so the game also fought to the last minute, back to back In the second game, the Warriors finally struggled to reach the Lakers at home, losing 116 to 112.
On April 12, the Mavericks defeated the Suns 101 to 98 on the road. This is the 33rd loss of the Suns in the regular season. At this time, the Lakers also have 33 losses. This means the playoffs. In the competition for tickets, the Sun and the Lakers are already at the same starting line.
The Lakers have the last three regular season games remaining. The opponent in the next game is the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies are currently 32 losses. If the Grizzlies win, they will basically lock a playoff quota, and the Lakers basically It is farewell to the playoffs; but if the Lakers win, the Grizzlies, Suns and Lakers are all 33 losses, and it is still unknown who the last playoff ticket falls into.
So for the Lakers, this game is a battle of life and death, as long as you win, it is tantamount to successfully dismissing the Grizzlies.
The Grizzlies also know the importance of this match. The team is in a state of sternness, as if they have entered the playoffs in advance.
...
"Conley shot, did not enter! Gasol grabbed an offensive rebound and then attacked! Still did not enter! Kaman controlled the rebound. Do you foul? Foul! Randolph foul! Randolph is the sixth foul. Alright!"
Randolph walked down the court helplessly, and Kaman stood on the free throw line.
"I must make a free throw. If I get two free throws, there will be a five-point lead, and we have the hope of entering the playoffs!" Kaman's face showed a persistence.
Although Kaman has been in the NBA for many years, he only played in the playoffs once in 2006, so he is eager for the playoffs.
"Whizzing!"
Kaman scored two free throws, the Lakers have 103 to 98, 5 points ahead of the Grizzlies, and only 23 seconds left in the game.
"23 seconds, there is still a chance!" Conley took the serve and moved forward. With a 5-point difference, he had to grab a 3-pointer.
However, a figure suddenly appeared beside him, and then a hand suddenly stretched out.
"It's Zhang Guan!" Conley hesitated at this moment. He didn't know whether to move on or stopped a little. He was hesitant to let Zhang Guan break the ball.
"Oops!" Conley looked at the basketball away, knowing that the trend was gone.
...
The Lakers won this crucial battle, which turned the Grizzlies into a 33 loss. At this time, the Suns, Grizzlies and Lakers are all 33 losses. They are on the same starting line, and only the last two are left in the regular season. field.
On April 14, the Lakers challenged the Jazz away. The Jazz are the penultimate in the Western Conference, but they still have to compete with the Boston Celtics for the penultimate fourth in the league. For poor teams, worse scores mean that when drafts are drawn, there is a greater chance that they will draw ahead. So now the Jazz are completely lost, so the Lakers easily defeated the Jazz. The Lakers' record has become 48 wins and 33 losses.
On the same day, the Memphis Grizzlies beat the Phoenix Suns 97 to 91. Randolph broke out and scored 32 points to help the Grizzlies win. The Suns also became 47 wins and 34 losses. , Completely bid farewell to the playoffs.
After the Grizzlies defeated the Suns, the record became 48 wins and 33 losses, the same as the Lakers. At the same time, the Mavericks record is 49 wins and 32 losses, currently ranked seventh in the west.
The last game day of the regular season will be extremely critical. On this day, the Lakers will go to challenge the Spurs away, and the Grizzlies opponent is the Dallas Mavericks!
Three teams compete for two places, the situation becomes complicated.
Let's talk about the Lakers and Grizzlies. Their records are 48 wins and 33 losses. According to NBA rules, if the two teams have the same record, they will compare their records. This season, the Lakers played the Grizzlies is 3 wins and 1 loss. The Lakers Dominates, so if the Lakers and Grizzlies win or lose at the same time, the Lakers will get a playoff spot.
If the Lakers lose and the Grizzlies win, or if the Lakers win, the Grizzlies lose, the losing side will be eliminated by losing one more ball.
The Mavericks have a record of 49 wins and 32 losses. If he can win the Grizzlies, he will inevitably be promoted and will also send the Lakers to promote.
If the Mavericks lose to the Grizzlies, and the Lakers win, then the three teams have a record of 49 wins and 33 losses, which will form the most complicated situation.
First of all, we must compare each other's record. This season, the Lakers are 3 wins and 1 loss against the Grizzlies, the Lakers Mavericks are 2 wins and 2 losses, the Mavericks are also 2 wins and 2 losses against the Grizzlies, the Grizzlies will be out.
From this perspective, as long as the Lakers win, they can advance to the playoffs. The only possibility for the Grizzlies to advance is that while they beat the Mavericks, they also expect the Lakers to lose.
As for the Mavericks, no matter whether they win or lose, they have actually locked in a playoff ticket, but whether it is ranked seventh or eighth is a problem.
The Mavericks win and can be ranked seventh in the West by losing one game. If the Mavericks lose, both the Lakers and the Grizzlies are 2 wins and 2 losses, and the two sides have the same record.
When the record of each other is the same, the regional champion will be ranked first. Obviously there is no regional champion among these teams, so the next item will be compared, that is, the regional record.
The record in the zone is limited to two teams in the same zone. That is, only the Grizzlies and Mavericks can compare, they are also in the Southwest Division.
The Southwest Division is the most competitive region in the league. In 2015, five Southwestern teams entered the playoffs at the same time. In the Southwest Division, the "Texas top three", the Spurs, Rockets and Mavericks, are not only regulars in the playoffs, they are also teams that can escape the NBA generals, and the strength of the Grizzlies cannot be underestimated. The four teams don't want to compare records, the Spurs are definitely the best, and the older Mavericks are the worst. If the Grizzlies and Mavericks advance at the same time, the Grizzlies will become the seventh in the West, and the Mavericks will be eighth in the West.
The Lakers are in the Pacific Division and are not in the same division as the Mavericks and Grizzlies, so this rule does not apply.
Teams in different divisions should compare their record in the division, that is, compare with the record of the Western team. If the Lakers and the Mavericks advance at the same time, comparing the division record, the Mavericks have an advantage. The Lakers' poor record in the first half of the season is also related to playing more Western teams, so the Lakers will be the eighth in the West, and the Mavericks can keep the seventh in the West.
For the form of the west, experts have analyzed it thoroughly. Whether the Grizzlies can advance to the playoffs depends on the face of the Lakers and Spurs, and whether the Lakers can advance to the playoffs, fate is in their own hands.
After defeating the Spurs, the Lakers will advance to the playoffs; if they lose to the Spurs, they can only pray that the Grizzlies also lose to the Mavericks.
At the same time, the Spurs also face choices.
At present, the Spurs record is the first in the West, and the Thunder with the second place has three wins, and has stabilized the first in the West.
If the Spurs are willing to put the Lakers one, then the Lakers are ranked eighth, the Spurs playoff opponents in the first round is the Lakers.
If the Spurs are unwilling to let the Lakers play, if they can beat the Lakers and the Grizzlies can win the Mavericks, the Spurs' first opponent in the playoffs will be the Mavericks.
It's about whether the playoffs can enter the playoffs. The Lakers will definitely work hard in the game. If the Spurs want to win, they can only die with the Lakers. This is definitely risky for the Spurs.
But from another perspective, the current Lakers are definitely more difficult to deal with than the Mavericks. The Mavericks are a group of veterans, and their strength is not weak and experienced, and it is difficult to have extra play without giving it. In addition to Zhang Guan, the Lakers are a shelling team. The team has a lot of nerve knives. Once these nerve knives show their power, the Spurs can't stop it.
For the Spurs, playing the Mavericks in the playoffs is more stable than playing the Lakers, at least not easy to overturn.
...
April 16, 2013 to 2014, the last game day of the NBA regular season.
The evening game will determine whether the Lakers can advance to the playoffs.
And during the day, a troublesome guy appeared in the media with a troublesome news...
