NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 286: 76 Wins in a Season

On April 4, the Suns played against the Lakers at Staples Center.

Kobe made an effort at the beginning, scoring consecutive points and sending out assists.

And the Lakers also feel good about Smush Parker, and the offensive end is very sharp.

But at the same time, their defense was really not on the table. Russell got many easy shots in the first quarter, and easily became the player with the highest score of the two teams.

The Lakers players actually have personal defensive ability, but the team defense is too poor, and I don't know what Zen Master is thinking.

Their inside line Bynum has actually gotten better and better, and his frame protection is pretty good.

But the Lakers were a little disgusted that this guy couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the Suns, and quickly replaced him with Turiaf.

In fact, Turiaf's rebounding impact is not bad, but the inside defense is much worse, so even if the Lakers keep up with the sun's rhythm, it doesn't matter, anyway, they can't defend.

And when it comes to the rotation period, the Suns can blow up the Lakers.

The Lakers must be mentally prepared for this game, and they are determined not to be the background board. Although they don't know whose idea it was, they took action and directly played the main force.

Not only Kobe, but also Odom, basically does not rest.

Parker, who was in good form, didn't play for that long, because Kobe didn't like him very much because he was a little messy.

Kobe just likes to play indiscriminately, but he is a superstar, and Parker has no golf quotient when he plays like this, so even if he is in better condition, he will not let him stay by Kobe's side to be annoying.

In fact, the Lakers' method of playing the main force is not obvious, but after the main players of both sides played again, the Lakers still played well and fell behind in the first half.

The problem with the Lakers is that the team's second point of attack is not enough. Kobe's teammates can't solve the problem when he wants to play reasonably, but his organization is so-so, so many times he can't play tactical effects.

Moreover, the Lakers have a problem on the perimeter. A few more three-pointers are not accurate. The triangle tactics are really star-eating, because they often rely on star players to solve problems. Many times, players who shoot well have no chance to shoot.

In this case, the Lakers did not fall behind much in the first half, so they have performed well.

So in the second half, their style of play has changed, and the game will be concluded if it remains unchanged.

The main change is Kobe. Kobe started the scoring mode. He didn't care about flanking or other things, just started.

This kind of Lakers may be the strongest, or it may be the weakest, it all depends on Kobe's touch.

In the third quarter, Kobe was extremely brave, but Parker couldn't do it when the defensive strength improved.

It is difficult for outside players to completely limit their death, even in flanking, so Kobe is still scoring. Superstars are not just names, they are played with strength.

However, Kobe played like this, and in the end, the other Lakers players couldn't attack.

If he doesn't turn the team in favor, it's not really good for the game.

When Kobe was just going crazy, the Lakers did catch up for a few points, but soon became stalemate, and then when the rotation period came, the Suns began to counterattack in an all-round way.

The Sun's bench lineup once again helped the team expand its lead, and Kobe did not hold back.

After the main force of the Suns came back, the offensive end was in full bloom again.

Russell, Joe Johnson and Marion are all scoring, and Iguodala is also coming out of nowhere. Even if Stoudemire is in a mediocre state, the game is basically under the control of the Suns.

On the Lakers side, only Kobe was scoring silently, and finally scored a good score, but the victory of the game was not won.

As a result, the Suns won the Lakers and tied the Bulls' 72 wins in the regular season. At this time, there are 5 games left in the regular season.

Russell did not say much in the interview after the game, tying the record is nothing, let's wait for them to break the record.

Will the sun return to the home court next, or face the supersonics who have no hope of the playoffs.

The Supersonics really don't have the heart to stop the Suns now, they are in the process of playing badly, and Ray Allen is still unable to play while he is recovering from his injury.

During the mediocre game, the Suns clocked out of get off work in three quarters, so another record in the history of the league became theirs.

Many famous players in the league felt sour in their hearts, and they came out to say that the current league is no good. If they go back to their era, the Suns will not even be able to touch the record.

In fact, it is to show a sense of presence. A strong team is a strong team in any era.

However, there are also some celebrities who came forward to express their congratulations, thinking that the Suns are a team worthy of respect.

In the league, it's normal to have different voices, and Russell has been very accommodating.

The rest of the team were aggrieved, and Russell advised them to ignore it.Don't let those bad words take the heat away.

Of course, everyone is in joy at this time, and so is D'Antoni.

D'Antoni was a little excited in the face of reporters. He said: "This is an astonishing season. This is an incredible achievement. I just think that it is impossible for any team to break that record."

Russell is much calmer, "I am very happy to be able to set a record, but we just play seriously, and we will continue to do so in the future. Only by not thinking too much on the court can we be the best of ourselves."

The season's 73 wins soon became history. After the Suns returned home, they took the visiting Lakers lightly.

The Lakers lost a lot this time, and they surrendered quickly amid Kobe's iron strike.

Kobe is a bit of a bet on balloons, and the Lakers have nothing to do. The team has not been in a good state for a while, but their improvement mainly depends on Kobe, so they must not blame Kobe for making random shots.

The sun is still in full swing, and the Jazz will play in the next three quarters.

The players may be more excited and feel better. Russell also scored 20+ assists for a long time, and he still completed three quarters. You can imagine the sharpness of the Suns' offense.

There are only two regular season games left for the Suns this season, and then they beat the Rockets again, raising the regular season winning record to 76 games.

The outside world doesn't know how to be shocked, anyway, every game has to be shocked.

But in the final battle, the Suns did not force it, and chose a full bench lineup, allowing the main players to take turns.

The main thing is back to back at the end, the team must ensure the physical condition of the main players in the playoffs, so as to save them from being too excited to continue to improve the winning record.

Therefore, the Clippers picked up this bargain and beat the Suns by a small game.

The Sun's choice is understandable, but it inadvertently changed the ranking of the West.

Relying on this victory, the Clippers actually overwhelmed the Warriors by half a game, became the eighth in the Western Conference, and squeezed into the playoffs.

The rankings of the other teams in the West are already doomed, from top to bottom are the Suns, Mavericks, Spurs, Jazz, Rockets, Nuggets and Lakers.
