Coach Lee

Chapter 160 The Last Day

On the court, Nash relied on Witherspoon's cover to rush in.

The Mavericks' big man came on defense.

Out of the corner of Nash's eyes, he caught a glimpse of Li Nan who ran away from the opportunity. With a flick of his hand, the ball passed through like a stitch.

Li Nan catches the ball and fakes a shot, feinting a shot.Although Finley didn't fly away, Li's advance was half a step ahead of Finley.

Hitting in, although it increases the physical confrontation, but this is the most effective way to score now.

Li Nan braked, and Finley hit him, and Li Nan threw the ball towards the basket.

beep!
Foul!
"Oh, Lee played very smart!"

Groom Albert appreciates it very much, "The 76ers can't start the situation now, and they really have to make more shots inside, closer to the basket, and the scoring will be more stable."

Whoosh!Bang!
Two free throws and one hit!
However, this is a long rebound, which was snatched by Li Nan!

Li Nan dribbled the ball back a few steps.

Finley blocked it immediately, with his hands open, and he was still thinking about taking out the ball.

At this moment, Li Nan suddenly received the ball and swung his arm from bottom to top.

beep!
The referee blew his whistle again.

Finley fouled again!

Finley was very wronged, how could this be a foul?

"What? I didn't move! He threw it onto my arm on his own initiative."

The referee didn't listen to Finley's explanation.On the court, he is the biggest!

Finley immediately approached Li Nan, wanting to reason with Li Nan.

"Li, you and the referee fans, did you take the initiative to throw them up? I didn't move, did I? You did it on purpose, right?"

Li Nan spread his hands and didn't say a word.

The referee had come and pulled Finley away.He was also criticized for additional education.

"Michael Finley! You have to remember, on the court, I am the biggest. Everyone has to listen to me. If you insist on going on like this, I will give you a taste of a technical foul."

Michael Finley listened to the education's words helplessly, but patted the referee on the shoulder, "Yes, yes, what you said is correct."

Li Nan on the other side could only say "sorry" silently.

"I really don't want to do this, but I can't help it. Who made you so good and beat us to death? I can only get you down."

The old horseman shook his head when he saw the foul, "Li is really too smart to play basketball, he is counting on Finley anytime and anywhere. Compared with the two, Li is more like an old fritter."

Finley, who felt hot, made three fouls, and he committed three fouls in the first quarter.

The spoiler who really wanted to express himself finally went down.

"Hu~~"

The 76ers breathed a sigh of relief, the fans at home breathed a sigh of relief, Mavericks coach Jim Clemons breathed a sigh of relief, and the two old men in the high-level box also breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, the 76ers began to slowly regain their rhythm, and the game between the two sides also played a lot more moderately, with mutual offense and defense.

Although Michael Finley still feels hot when he comes back, the other players of the Mavericks seem to have a consensus that they will not work hard.Only Finley was stunned, powerless.

Beep beep beep! ! !
Finally, the game is over.

79-83
The 76ers captured the Dallas Mavericks at home, and both sides were happy.

Field data:

Mavericks,
Michael Finley scored the highest score of the game with 33 points.

76ers,

Li Nan, 21 points, 18 of 8, 5 of 1 three-pointers,

Stackhouse, 18 points, 19 of 7,

Coleman, 16 points, 18 of 6,

Witherspoon, 13 points and 9 rebounds,

Nash, 11 points, 9 assists,

……

huh~~

Li Nan exhaled heavily.

This is the most tiring game Li Nan has ever played in his life.

"This body is still too weak!"

There are still ten games to play.

Difficult, really difficult!
……

After winning this game, the 76ers' record came to 39-33, continuing to retain the seventh position in the Eastern Conference.

However, the upcoming schedule will be difficult.

The 76ers are a guest in Los Angeles to challenge the Lakers.

99-112
Failed!

O'Neal still played explosive output in this game, 19 of 16, 20 of 11 free throws, and scored 42 points.

Kobe played 25 minutes and scored 18 points efficiently, making 8 of 6 three-pointers.

Against the 76ers, Li Nan scored a team-high 36 points, 3 assists, 5 rebounds, and 9 of 7 three-pointers.

It's just that his teammates were not strong today, and only Stackhouse scored 22 points in double figures.

The next day, the 76ers played against the Sonics in back-to-back away games.

83-96
Lost again!
Two consecutive defeats!
The Sonics' glove Payton scored 29 points, 8 assists and 5 steals, and the opposing Nash was very uncomfortable.

Rainman Kemp had 27 points and 12 rebounds.

On the 76ers side, Nash did not perform well, and was completely out of state by Payton, and even lost his mentality.

Without the engine, the 76ers game is very difficult.

Li Nan was also difficult to play, only scored 24 points and 4 assists, which could not bring the team victory.

……

After the losing streak, the 76ers' record came to 39-35.

However, the 76ers only lost these two games before being seized by their opponents.

The Magic directly overtook the 76ers. Their record was 40-35 and they rose to seventh.

The Cavaliers also climbed up, also with a record of 39-35. They ranked ahead of the 76ers because of their superior record against each other.

The 76ers ranked ninth.

The tenth Bullet team is also 38-36 and has not been left behind.

Their mutual rivalry is not over yet.

At this time, the top six in the Eastern Conference have already ensured their place in the playoffs.

The sixth Charlotte Hornets record is 50-25, and they have 10 more wins than the seventh behind the Magic.

With less than ten games left, the Magic, 76ers, Cavaliers, and Bullets can only compete for seven or eight playoff qualifications.

The competition situation has become more severe.

……

Next, the four teams began to compete in the air.If you win a game, I will also fight a game, and I must not fall behind.I'm happier if you lose a game, and I want to take the opportunity to get rid of you.

For more than two weeks in April, these four teams will be taken out to arrange a row of seats every day.

Various "well-known experts" predict the eventual playoff spots for these four teams.

Most people are optimistic about the Magic, followed by the Cavaliers, the 76ers and the Bullets are not optimistic.

As the game progressed, the Magic suddenly turned on the super engine, directly throwing off the opponent behind them. In 4 games in April, they went 12-10.In the end, they ended 2-46, ensuring the No.36 position.

The position of No.8 is yet to be determined.

April 4, the last day of the regular season.

The Cavaliers, Bullets, and 76ers all have games.

Cavaliers vs Bullets!
76ers vs Eagles!
Their previous records are:

76ers, 44-37,

Cavaliers, 43-38,

Bullets, 43-38.

These three teams will compete for the final 8th place.

Both the Cavaliers and the Bullets have a winning edge against the 76ers.No matter who they win, as long as they have the same record as the 76ers, they can squeeze the 76ers out.

So, the 76ers must win the last game against the Eagles!
