NBA Building Cardinals

Chapter 264 265. Locked in the playoffs! (89)

The unexpected situation on the field also stopped the game for a long time, but after it was dealt with, the game still had to continue.

The 76ers, who lost the main center of the backup, were once again weakened inside.

Facing the Bobcats' bench lineup, the 76ers soon had no power to parry and had to use the method of taking Iverson in advance.

However, even if Iverson comes back, he can only try to solve the 76ers' offensive problems.

There is still no way to solve the loopholes on the defensive end. At the end of halftime, the Bobcats ended with:

62:50
Leading the 76ers by 12 points, ended the first half contest.

After returning from the second half, the Bobcats have been suppressing the 76ers and are in an absolute lead.

Liu Rui also widened his lineup rotation and reduced the playing time of the main players.

To avoid the 76ers getting angry in the second half of the game, the two sides are having unnecessary conflicts on the court.

As the game continued, the Bobcats have been in absolute advantage.

Even under the leadership of Iverson, the 76ers tried to start a counterattack, but in the end they were all snuffed out by the Bobcats. At the end of the game, the Bobcats ended with:

121:105
16 points to beat the 76ers.

Moreover, with the victory of this game, the Bobcats currently have a great chance of staying on the playoff list.

With this game over, the Bobcats have the final three games of the season.

But the current record has reached 42 wins and 37 losses.

This made Liu Rui feel a little distressed. At present, the Bobcats are still ranked seventh in the Eastern Conference with an absolute lead.

But ranking seventh in the Eastern Conference means that they will face the Pistons in the first round, which is the last ending Liu Rui wants to see.

Perhaps in the eyes of other teams, there is not much difference between facing the Heat or the Pistons.

But for Liu Rui, the gap is huge. The Pistons can be said to have completely restrained the Bobcats' offensive system.

The Heat are only relatively strong in their own strength, but it is difficult to have an impact on the Bobcats' system.

This caused Liu Rui to fall into a tangle. In the next three games, even if the Bobcats lost two of them, it would not be safe.

Unless they lose the last three games, the Bobcats may fall to the eighth place in the Eastern Conference.

And if you want to hit the top six in the East, unless the Bobcats win all three games next.

Among these three games, there is also a Heat team ranked first in the Eastern Conference.

It was this one that was replayed earlier this season.

However, it is not without opportunities at this time. At present, the Heat have already secured the No. [-] spot in the Eastern Conference, and this game was re-ranked in the final league.

So as long as the Heat choose to rest their main players in rotation, they will prepare for the playoffs.

Then the Bobcats can definitely beat the Heat.

So Liu Rui is also praying that Van Gundy can look away.

And once the Bobcats can rise to sixth in the Eastern Conference, then in the first round of the playoffs, there is a high probability that their opponents will be the Celtics or Wizards.

If you face these two teams, it will be much better than facing the Heat and Pistons.

But before considering this issue, Liu Rui has to take the lead in leading the team to win the previous two games.

Although it is not difficult, always be careful of capsizing in the gutter.

.........

In the next two games, the Bobcats ushered in the challenges of the Bucks and Clippers at home.

The two teams have definitely missed the playoffs at present, and they are mainly training newcomers.

Facing the Bucks, the Bobcats didn't have much suspense, and took away the game effortlessly.

But when facing the Clippers, Liu Rui was really taken aback.

Maggette of the Clippers went crazy in this game, throwing no matter how much he threw from beyond the three-point line, so that the Bobcats, which had already led by more than 20 points in the third quarter, almost encountered a reversal in the fourth quarter.

If it weren't for the old star Divac, who led the young players to stabilize the situation at the critical moment,
I'm afraid the Bobcats are really going to capsize in the gutter.

But in the end, the Bobcats won the game without any risk.

It also brought the team's record to 44 wins and 37 losses.

As a result, the Bobcats last game of the season, will challenge the Miami Heat away.

The current record of the Heat is 59 wins and 22 losses, six wins ahead of the second-ranked Pistons.

Therefore, in the next game, the Heat will most likely choose to rest their main players in order to prepare for the upcoming playoffs.

April 4

The Bobcats sit in Miami, and it is also the last game of the season.

And this game is also the last game of the Heat.

Before the opening, Liu Rui was still a little apprehensive sitting on the sidelines.

But when the two sides announced the starting list, Liu Rui let out a long breath.

As Liu Rui expected, in the face of an absolute lead, the Heat chose to rest their main players in this game.

In order to prepare for the next playoffs, all the usual substitute players will be sent to the field.

Winning or losing this game is not that important to the Heat, but it is simply too important to the Bobcats.

If this game loses, then the Bobcats will continue to stay in seventh place in the Eastern Conference and face the Pistons in the first round.

So seeing the Heat's starting roster, Liu Rui was so excited off the court that he almost cried out.

What the heck, cool! !

The Bobcats have always led the Heat by about ten points. The reason why they didn't lead too much was also because of Liu Rui's off-court arrangements.

If this wins too much and makes the Heat feel embarrassed and chooses to switch to the main lineup, then it shouldn't be too much trouble.

At present, everything is developing in a good direction. With the end of the game, the Bobcats played away with:
106:94
12 points to beat the Heat.

The victory of this game also brought the Bobcats' record to 45 wins and 37 losses.

Everyone in the Bobcats team who won the game also began to celebrate wildly.

After all, before the start of this season, from the management to the fans, the first thing they thought about was bad performance.

But in the mid-term, the team's goal has become to hit the playoffs, and in the later stages, it has become to try to make the playoffs as high as possible.

Now, the players have completed their tasks very well. As for the final ranking of this season's playoffs, it will be fully announced after the completion of other games.

After the victory in this game, Liu Rui also let out a long breath. The nerves that had been tense for a season were finally relieved temporarily.

And with the end of all the teams' games on the last day, the final rosters for the East and West playoffs were also completely finalized.

Since this season was at the beginning of the season, Liu Rui took away Du Hong from the Bulls through a trade.

So this season's playoff rankings have undergone some changes...
