Chapter 785 The old boys who were still fighting in those years! (Kneeling(1/3)
After the Star Weekend, the Lakers' regular season rankings have always swung between fifth and sixth in the Western Conference.
After playing in the November 12 season, veterans such as Kobe, Xiaojia, and Marion have been much better than they did at the beginning of the regular season.
But facing this devilish schedule that makes you feel tingling...
Both coach Lu and Su Feng agreed that the Lakers, who have extremely high risk of injury this season, do not need to take high risks and should continue to rush up to the ranking.
As we all know.
In competitive sports, many athletes are tired of injuries.
Although after the break during the shutdown, the Lakers, who have played nearly hundreds of games a year in the past three years, have received proper rest.
But in the same way, because this Lakers need a longer recovery period, the Lakers have been in a state of using competitions to practice this season.
When the Lakers won three consecutive championships, many fans of other teams who couldn't eat grapes and said they were sour in grapes. They thought that this Lakers were lucky.
Because of three consecutive years of high-intensity games, the Lakers' health level is like a group cheat.
However, this group of people ignored that apart from fucking Su Feng, Coach Lu has always been conservative in the use of other players.
To put it bluntly.
In the NBA, if a strong team wants to improve their performance, they will inevitably increase the playing time of the leading players and core players.
After all, no matter how good a role player is, you can't use him as Su Feng and Kobe every game.
In addition, in order to ensure that Su Feng, who is about to be 34 years old, can be in good shape before the playoffs, Coach Lu also adjusted Su Feng's playing time during this Devil's schedule to 36 minutes per game.
And this time, even Su Feng, who had always shouted, "I will replace me after I die", chose to compromise.
Because not to mention over time, Su Feng's own physical recovery speed and the recovery effect of nutrient solution can no longer make him in a state of full blood and blue as he did back then.
In the 11/12 season, we will introduce various back-to-back devil schedules...
If Su Feng can make up for it by drinking "woolberry tea", then why does the NBA still need the "Basic Law of Veterans"?
During this Devilish schedule, the Dallas Mavericks also felt very distressed by their fans in the West.
As the only card of the "Lone Star Republic" and the only player in Texas can play, after the Star Weekend, Niu Mi, who thought the Mavericks would regroup, never expected that what they were waiting for was the Mavericks' struggle between ninth and tenth places.
Is the era of Dirk Nowitzki over, Dallas?
These days, Mavericks fans have asked themselves this way more than once.
Admittedly.
In the NBA, you can never underestimate the heart of a championship.
But the regular season has been playing for this time...
If you tell Niu Mi, they still have a chance to compete for the championship.
In the eyes of these people who know football in a group of people who have completely given up on the Premier League this season and are preparing to make a contribution to the team and win the first Champions League trophy in team history.
Wake up!
Chemi and Niu Mi!
Just your starting players who are enough to be someone else's father...
NBA championship, Champions League Big Ear Cup?
Stop making trouble.
Just like the Champions League champion this season, it is already the treasure of Bayern Munich, who swept across the continent.
This season's NBA...
At least in March of this year.
Everyone firmly believes.
The NBA championship will be produced among the young Supersonics, Hawks, Warriors and Bulls.
I don't think everyone here is a hot chicken.
I just want to say that this era is called Rod Deweyden.
In March, I punched the Los Angeles nursing home and stepped on the Boston nursery. (Note ①)
After Seattle Supersonics gave people the feeling that "the labor and capital are fighting these active legends", Chris Webber, who was a guest at ESPN Sports, said bluntly on the show: "Supersonics have already played the championship.
In my opinion, they are undoubtedly the number one favorites in the championship this season!”
In the regular season MVP rankings of the November 12 season, in addition to being occasionally under James, Durant, who has more rapid offensive firepower in the season, has become the biggest favorite for the regular season MVP this season.
only......
In this era when Stern was not retired.
Su Feng was convinced.
As long as the competitor is Durant, the one who won the regular season MVP in the end will be Jan Zhan.
Don't ask.
The question is Durant's aura.
It is impossible for Stern to send him the regular season MVP if he is killed.
Anyway.
As the regular season is about to come to an end...
Affected by the shutdown.
In March of this year, to everyone's opinion, these old guys are really ineffective.
...
At the end of March and early April.
Su Feng, the only player born in the 1970s who can play, led the Lakers to successfully play a long-lost five-game winning streak before his 34th birthday.
However, because recently, the top teams in the West have been winning...
So you can simply understand it as...
The Lakers obviously won, but they did not win.
On April 4 of that year, Su Feng, who was officially 34 years old, was rarely dragged out by Stern to work overtime on his birthday night.
After celebrating his 34th birthday at home, watching the old rivals who became "brothers" with the Lakers this season...
At this moment, Su Feng sighed at the passage of time...
At the same time, I was also wary of this group of old fox guys who seemed to be out of reach.
In April, the last moment of the final stage of the November 12 season, the only thing that made Niu Mi feel relieved was that this year's competition system, the ninth and tenth place still have the opportunity to compete for a playoff ticket.
Relying on four consecutive victories from the other two of Texas' three "bears" to the Mavericks at the end of the regular season, on April 15, the Dallas Mavericks, who had a difficult season, finally secured a playoff ticket between the ninth and tenth places.
In Los Angeles, the Lakers finally secured the sixth position in the Western Conference with a record of 44 wins and 28 losses.
The regular season ends, the rankings of first to tenth places in the Western Conference in the November 12 season are as follows:
Supersonics, Warriors, Jazz, Grizzlies, Trail Blazers, Lakers, Nuggets, Kings, Mavericks, Hornets.
According to the new competition system adopted by the NBA in the November 12 season, before the playoffs officially start on April 19, the Nuggets and the Kings will compete for a ticket to the seventh place in the Western Conference.
The winner between the Mavericks and the Hornets will compete with the Nuggets and Kings for the eighth seat in the West.
This season, the rise of the Kings is related to the Thomas they had previously found at the end of the draft.
As the strongest "175" on the surface, in the regular season, Thomas Jr., together with Evans, Cousins, who had been selected by the Kings one after another, blew a youthful storm in Sacramento.
Last summer, Su Feng did not let Kupchek choose Thomas Jr.
Because Thomas Jr.'s style and characteristics determine that he is not suitable for this Lakers.
To put it bluntly, as Su Ke and his two men grow older, it is no longer possible to help them defend themselves like they did when they were young.
Even Thomas' offensive firepower can make him play a certain role in the second lineup.
But on the other hand...
As long as the opponent keeps grabbing him, how should the Lakers deal with it then?
Su Feng, who had already predicted that the Lakers would be very difficult to play in the November 12 season, was not disrupted by the Lakers' regular season record for a while.
Because he knows very well that in terms of configuration and running-in, as long as the Lakers can recover their form, they will still be one of the most competitive teams in the NBA.
Moreover, Xiao Mo is not only capable of what Thomas can do in the Lakers at this moment...
Even Mo's defense is far above Thomas Jr.
Because even if everyone's defense is air...
At least Mo's model looks much more deterrent than Thomas.
In the regular season, relying on D'Antoni to successfully activate Evans' sewer attributes. In addition, Thomas Jr.'s fist in the second lineup, the Kings were finally able to reach eighth place in the Western Conference. Although it exceeded many people's expectations, in Su Feng's view, this once again proves...
Even Du Hong can use D'Antoni as "Paul Jr.", is indeed a head coach who is very good at coaching guards.
To be continued...
