Coach: Coaching the Grizzlies at the beginning, playing the bantam

Chapter 152 The regular season is over! 68 wins, first in the league!

On April 4, the Sonics lost to the Mavericks 1 to 118 in overtime.

The lack of Szczerbiak's supersonic offensive firepower has been seriously affected.

In order to ensure that Teletovic is eligible to run for the best sixth man, Lu Yong put him back on the bench and arranged for PJ Tucker to start.

Tucker's three-pointers and defense are very good, but his role in the offensive system is too single, not as good as the All-Star Szczerbiak, and the matchup with Nuo Tianwang still suffers a bit.

The Mavericks are very fierce in this attack. They are fighting with the Hornets, Jazz, and Rockets. Every victory or loss may lead to a change in the final ranking of the Western Conference. They are more eager to win than the Sonics.

Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle came up with the stunt of pressing the bottom of the box, and the seven players rotated and smashed the main players. In this regular season, which seemed meaningless to the Sonics, they played all their cards and finally won the game with difficulty.

Nowitzki beat PJ-Tucker one-on-one, scoring 27 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal. The mid-range turnaround jumpers on both sides are perfect. Like Durant, it is an offensive bug with a different style of play.

The second master Jason Terry also performed well, contributing 26 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, hitting 4 three-pointers, and staged a confrontation with "Martial Saint" Jackson.

Jackson did not fall behind in this set of matchups, with 25 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. The performance of his teammates was average tonight. He made 48 of 14 shots from beyond the three-point line and made 29.1% of his three-pointers against the Sonics. It's really low.

The Sonics suffered their 13th loss of the season, with only nine games remaining before the end of the regular season.

The records of other teams in the Western Conference are not as good as the Sonics. The second-ranked Spurs have lost 19 games. If they can win 60 games this year, they will be considered a success.

Relying on the blessing of the team's record, Durant was elected Player of the Month for the third time this season, accomplishing what even Michael Jordan had never done.

The eyes of the fans are all focused on the Sonics. They all want to see where the limit of this team is and where it can go this year.

Injury is an important factor affecting a team's championship. Szczerbiak's injury has a great impact on the Supersonics. He is the most versatile player in the Supersonics power forward position. Even Lu Yong has to admit.

The team doctor suggested that Szczerbiak rest for a period of time, stop playing at the end of the regular season, and wait until the playoffs to return.

Naturally, Lu Yong has no objection. He has already begun to rest the main players on a large scale. Even if Szczerbiak is in a hurry to come back, he will play one game and one rest. It is better to stay in Seattle to recuperate.

The success of the regular season can only mean that the Sonics have come ahead of other teams in the league, but if they want to win the championship, the playoffs are the key.

Lu Yong is now short of a championship to light his coaching torch. This year is a good opportunity for the Sonics to win the championship, and he values ​​it more than anyone else.

On the 3rd, the Sonics played against the Heat at home.

This is a focus battle related to the regular season MVP battle. Durant and Wade both attach great importance to it and make preparations early.

The two teams were evenly matched offensively in the first quarter, and the Supersonics led the Heat by 11 point with Durant's 1 points in a single quarter.

In the second quarter, the first-year rookie Michael Beasley suddenly showed his power, shooting from inside and outside exploded. He scored 13 points in a single quarter and led the team to establish a double-digit lead.

Back in the second half, Heat head coach Spoelstra simply started Beasley, who was in a hot state, and fought passionately on the offensive end, maintaining the lead in the score.

Beasley averaged only 24.8 minutes per game this season, scoring 13.9 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1 assist, shooting 47.2% from the field, 40.7% from the three-point range, and 77.2% from the free throw line. All the statistics are very good.

In the All-Star Rookie Challenge in February, Beasley scored 23 points on behalf of the first-year team. He is a striker with little brains but strong singles ability.

Of course, domestic fans know Beasley because of the title of "CBA star" on this guy. He joined the Shanghai Men's Basketball Team in 14 and scored 59 points in the All-Star Game, setting a scoring record in the All-Star Game at that time, and also won the best player in the All-Star Game.

Later, he scored 63 points, 19 rebounds and 13 assists in the CBA All-Star Game in the second year, breaking the historical scoring record of the CBA All-Star Game held by himself.Became another player who won the CBA All-Star Game MVP since Wang Zhizhi.

"Big Thighs" has won the CBA regular season MVP and the CBA championship. In terms of personal ability, he is worthy of a star, but his brain is flooded. He is addicted to singles and often wanders outside the tactical system, so he is not loved by the coach.

Today's game is Billis' explosive battle. The Supersonics were unlucky and just caught up with this guy's convulsions.

However, the Heat hadn't been happy for too long. In the third quarter, the Supersonics relied on counterattacks and three-pointers to hit a 14-3 climax, quickly smoothing the point difference.

In the last quarter, "Martial Saint" Jackson and Durant stepped up to take over the game. Durant had a sharp jumper and Jackson was all-around and efficient.The two teamed up to contribute 21 points in the fourth quarter, leading the team to a 113-106 victory over the Heat and winning the headwind.

The comeback of the Heat greatly improved the morale of the team. The Sonics played very easily in the next few games and only lost 8 of the 1 games, continuing their state.

In the final game of the regular season, the Supersonics rested three main players and still defeated the underdog Kings. The regular season record was fixed at 68 wins and 14 losses.

A number of media reported news related to the supersonic speed.

"The strongest counterattack in history! Since leading the team to 60 wins last season, Lu Shuai once again broke the record of leading the team, and dominated the league with 68 wins in the regular season!"

"This Supersonic team is worth remembering by the fans. This group of young people is making history and aiming for the championship!"

"The most entertaining team in the league, the Sonics have driven the atmosphere of basketball on their own. In the new season, the proportion of three-pointers shot by each team has increased significantly. Coach Lu Yong has become the leader of the era of long-range shots. The miracle in Seattle continues!"

"The Sonics averaged 118.6 points per game, ranking first in the league in offensive firepower, setting a new high in the NBA in the past ten years!"

There are many voices praising the Sonics from the outside world. The regular season record of 68 wins and 14 losses is destined to be remembered by history.

Ranked 2-8 in the West are: Spurs, Trail Blazers, Nuggets, Jazz, Rockets, Hornets and Mavericks.

The three teams, the Grizzlies, Lakers and Suns, regrettably missed the list. The winning percentages in the regular season all exceeded 50%, but they can only rank 9-11 in the highly competitive Western Conference.

The 12th-15th place is the Warriors, Timberwolves, Clippers, and Kings.

The Kings have been completely bad this season. They only won 17 wins in the regular season, ranking first in the league, and they performed better than the Clippers and the Wizards in the East.

In the East, the Cavaliers finally succeeded in counterattacking with a wave of victories, achieving a record of 63 wins and 19 losses, ranking first in the division.

2-8 are the Celtics, Magic, Eagles, Heat, 76ers, Bulls, and Pistons.

The defending champion Celtics' record of 61 wins and 21 losses is also very good. Unfortunately, the Big Three had physical problems in the second half of the season.

The Pistons, ranked eighth in the East, only achieved 39 wins, with a winning rate of 47.6%. They can only rank 12th in the West, with obvious strength gaps.

9-14 Pacers, Bobcats, Nets, Bucks, Raptors, Knicks, Wizards,
The worst among them is the Washington Wizards. Last summer, they just signed a max salary with the "General" Arenas. As a result, Arenas will be reimbursed for the season this year. .

The regular season leader in all statistics has also been determined, and Wade averaged 30.2 points per game to win his career's first scoring title.

Wade's personal data this season is impeccable, but the team's record is worse than the Supersonics and the Cavaliers. The regular season MVP is not close to him, and there is a high probability that it will be between Durant and James.

"Warcraft" Howard won the rebounding title for two consecutive years, averaging 13.8 per game, leading the second-ranked Troy Murphy by a full two boards.

Hornets star Chris Paul reelected the assists leader, averaging 11 per game, narrowly beating "old enemy" Deron Williams.

The steals king is also Paul, averaging 2.8 times per game.

The Nuggets' "Birdman" Anderson became the king of blocked shots, averaging 3.1 per game.

This point is slightly different from Lu Yong's previous life. "Birdman" took away the honor that should belong to Howard. I don't know if he can use this to soar into the sky.

The opponent of the Sonics in the first round of the playoffs is the Mavericks, an offensive team. In Lu Yong's eyes, the Mavericks are old opponents and no strangers.

Although the Mavericks had won against the Sonics in the regular season, the depth of the lineup is obviously inferior. It is very difficult to be upset in the 7-game 4-win playoffs.

Lu Yong's goal this year is to lead the team to the championship. When he shows four fingers, don't doubt it, it must be a thumb cramp.
