Superstar Tyreke

Chapter 183 Ending the 11-12 Regular Season

At this time, the Kings still have 5 games to play, 3 home games and 2 away games.

此时西部马刺队靠着下半赛季的强势表现，自3月21日以来仅仅输了两场，以44胜16负排名西部第1，而占据西部第1很长时间的雷霆队目前以44胜17负的微弱劣势排名西部第2。

西部第4的洛杉矶湖人战绩为38胜22负，成为了西部第3支锁定季后赛资格的球队，同城死敌洛杉矶快船37胜23负暂居第5，不过再接下来几位的竞争简直是水深火热。

灰熊队同样是后程发力，目前的战绩来到了35胜25负位列西部第6，还有34胜26负的达拉斯小牛、32胜29负的丹佛掘金、32胜29负的休斯顿火箭、31胜29负的犹他爵士，甚至包括31胜30胜的菲尼克斯太阳都还存在进军季后赛的机会，最后的这几场比赛将成为真正的大混战，排名随时都可能发生变化，对于这几支球队而言每一场都是生死战！

But all of this is not a problem for the Kings. At present, with 5 games left, the Kings are two games behind the Thunder, which is No. 2 in the Western Conference, and 4 games ahead of the Lakers, which is No. 3.5 in the Western Conference. It is not impossible to fall out of the top three in the West and hit the top two in the West.

However, with the current momentum of the Spurs and Thunder, it is more difficult to achieve a lead in 5 games, and the Kings are quite satisfied with the current ranking. The most important thing is to ensure health for the playoffs in 5 games.

In the remaining 5 games, the Dallas Mavericks, who are competing for the playoff qualification, will inevitably face the Kings. However, the New Orleans Hornets and the Golden State Warriors have long missed the playoffs. Victory is no longer their pursuit for them. Saying that failure is even more desirable for them, and it is better to lose a few more games to have a chance to get a good lottery if they miss the playoffs.The Miami Heat also have nothing to desire, the Bulls have already locked the No. 1 in the East, and the Pacers, who are No. 3 in the East, are unlikely to catch up with them. The Heat don't care about the outcome at all.So only one of these 5 games against the Mavericks can be regarded as a tough battle.

An away game against the Mavericks, due to school work, An Jiali did not continue to follow Tyreke to Dallas. Although the Kings did not have a player rotation, it can be said that they played very casually, while the Mavericks were striving for victory. Under the leadership of Key, they played extremely hard and fought hard for every ball. Although they have a 8 win advantage over the No. 3.5 in the Western Conference, there is no guarantee that they will advance to the playoffs at this moment. The Mavericks also know that they will hit higher rankings The Kings, who are difficult to stabilize in the upper half at the same time, will definitely stay strong for the playoffs and will not confront them tit for tat. This game is a victory they can definitely fight for.

The Kings had already trailed the Mavericks by 19 points at the end of the half, and the Kings had no intention of catching up in the second half. The game lost suspense in the second half of the third quarter. This wave of 8 consecutive victories, Tyreke scored 27 points, 21 rebounds and 2 assists in 3 minutes of playing. After winning this game, the Mavericks can keep the top 8 in the Western Conference as long as they win another game. At this time, they are basically sure to advance to the playoffs game.

Later, in the away game against the Hornets and the home game against the Warriors, the two teams completely gave up resistance and were basically undefended. The intensity of the game was like an exhibition game. Tyreke scored 33 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists in these two games With 28 points, 6 rebounds and 10 assists, with two games left, the gap between the Kings and the No. 2 Thunder in the West and the No. 4 Lakers in the West is more than 2 games. Also locked in No. 44 in the West.

Now Tyreke can contribute a league-high 29.2 points per game!Now, Kevin Durant, who ranks second in the scoring list, has 27.9 points, a gap of 1.3 points. With two games left, this year's scoring champion has basically been won by Tyreke!

The day before the match against the Miami Heat, the Kings officially announced that Tyreke, Caron Butler and West will not play in the last two regular season games. It's over for Rick. Tyreke played 64 games, all of which were starters. He averaged 29.2 points, 5.7 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game. It can be said that this season was quite successful for Tyreke personally.

In the away game against the Miami Heat, due to the truce of the three main players, the rotation players in the Kings had plenty of opportunities to play, and the Heat at home were even more unscrupulous. Next, he won the Miami Heat who lacked the Big Three in the away game and won three consecutive victories. Cousins ​​​​scored a season-high 48 points, contributed 17 rebounds and 8 assists, and almost won a triple-double. Among the Heat's Big Three, Cousins ​​is simply a super beast in the paint!
The last game was against the Hornets at home. The Kings almost handed over the entire game to the substitutes. Except for Tyreke who was on a truce, Cousins ​​only played in the first quarter and stopped playing. The regular starting 5 players Only Jimmy still played the entire game, but the Kings finally defeated the weak Hornets at home. In the end, the Kings ended the regular season with a perfect 4-game winning streak.

In the end, the record of the Kings was fixed at 46 wins and 20 losses, ranking third in the Western Conference. In the final competition for the playoffs in the Western Conference, the Nuggets had the last laugh. They overwhelmed the Rockets with 3 wins and 35 losses. The record squeezed into the playoffs, the Rockets and the Jazz had the same final record, 31 game behind the Nuggets and eventually missed the playoffs.

So far, the top 8 in the Western Conference have all been born, namely San Antonio Spurs, Oklahoma City Thunder, Sacramento Kings, Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers, Memphis Grizzlies, Dallas Mavericks, and Denver Nuggets.

The East is dominated by the Chicago Bulls, Miami Heat, Indiana Pacers, Boston Celtics, Atlanta Hawks, Orlando Magic, New York Knicks, and Philadelphia 76ers.

The regular season of the 2011-2012 season has officially come to an end, and the next 16 teams will enter the brutal playoff competition, and what the Kings will encounter in the first round of the playoffs is what blocked them from the playoffs last season. The Memphis Grizzlies outside the game gate!
