I really just want to strike

Chapter 785 Those old boys who were still fighting in those years!

After the star weekend, the Lakers' regular season rankings have always oscillated between fifth and sixth in the West.

Up to this point in the 11/12 season, veterans such as Kobe, Jia, and Marion are in much better condition than they were at the beginning of the regular season.

But in the face of this scalp-numbing devil's schedule...

Both Director Lu and Su Feng agreed that the Lakers, who have a high risk of injury this season, don't need to, and shouldn't continue to climb up the rankings at high risk.

Well known.

In competitive sports, many athletes' injuries are caused by exhaustion.

Although after a break during the lockout, the Lakers, who have played an average of nearly a hundred games a year in the past three years, have gotten a proper rest.

But at the same time, because the Lakers need a longer recovery period, the Lakers have been in a state of training with games this season.

When the Lakers won three consecutive championships before, many fans of other teams who couldn't eat grapes said that the grapes were sour thought that the Lakers were lucky.

Because of three years of high-intensity games in a row, the health of this Lakers team seems to be on the hook.

However, this group of people ignored that Director Lu has always been very conservative in the use of other players except for Su Feng.

to be honest.

In the NBA, if a strong team wants to improve its record, it will inevitably increase the playing time of its head players and core players.

After all, no matter how good a role player is, you can't use him as Su Feng and Kobe every now and then.

In addition, in order to ensure that Su Feng, who is about to turn 34 years old, can be in the same state before the playoffs, Director Lu also adjusted Su Feng's playing time during this devil's schedule to 36 minutes per game.

But this time, even Su Feng, who always yelled "replace me after I die", chose to compromise.

Because not to mention that with the passage of time, Su Feng's own physical recovery speed and the recovery effect of the nutrient solution can no longer keep him in a state of full blood and blue all the time like back then.

Introduce various back-to-back devil schedules for the 11/12 season...

If Su Feng can make up for it by drinking "wolfberry tea", then why does the NBA need the "Basic Law of Veterans"?

During this period of the devil's schedule, the Dallas Mavericks also made their fans feel miserable in the West.

As the only card in the "Lone Star Republic" and the only one that can be played in all of Texas, after the star weekend, the fans who thought that the Mavericks would regroup never expected that what they were waiting for was the Mavericks in the ninth and The struggle between No.10.

Is the era of Dirk Nowitzki over, Dallas?

In recent days, Mavericks fans have asked themselves this question more than once in their hearts.

True.

In the NBA, you can never underestimate the heart of a championship.

But at this point in the regular season...

If you tell the bullies, they still have a chance to compete for the championship.

In the eyes of this group of people who know a little about football, this is as ridiculous as the old Chelsea boys who have completely given up on the Premier League this season and are ready to do their best to bring back the first Champions League trophy in team history. .

Wake up!

Car honey and cow honey!

You guys are old enough to be someone else's starting player...

NBA Championship, Champions League Big Ears Cup?

Stop it.

Just like this season's Champions League champion, in the eyes of everyone, it is already in the pocket of Bayern Munich, which swept the continent.

This season's NBA...

At least in March of the year.

All believe in it.

The NBA championship will be produced among the young and invincible Sonics, Eagles, Warriors, and Bulls.

I don't think everyone here is a hot chicken.

I just want to say that this era is called Rodo Vuitton.

In March, he punched a nursing home in Los Angeles and stomped a nursery in Boston. (Note ①)

After the Seattle Supersonics gave people a feeling that "labor and capital are playing like these active legends", Chris Webber, who was a guest at ESPN Sports, said bluntly on the show: "The Supersonics have played champions.

In my opinion, they are undoubtedly the number one favorite for the championship this season! "

In the regular season MVP rankings in the 11/12 season, in addition to being occasionally crushed by James, Durant, who has more rapid offensive firepower this season, has become the most popular regular season MVP this season.

only......

In this era when Stern has not yet retired.

Su Feng was convinced.

As long as the competitor is Durant, the one who wins the regular season MVP in the end will 100% be Zhan Zhan.

Do not ask.

The question is Durant's aura.

It is impossible for Stern to send him the regular season MVP even if he is killed.

In short.

As the regular season draws to a close...

affected by the shutdown.

In March of this year, from everyone's point of view, these old guys really failed.

……

End of March, beginning of April.

Su Feng, the only one among the "post-70s" players who can play, led the Lakers to a long-lost 34-game winning streak before his 5th birthday.

It's just, because in the near future, the top-ranked teams in the West are winning...

So you can simply understand it as...

Obviously the Lakers won, but they didn't win.

And on April 4th of this year, Su Feng, who officially turned 4 years old, was not dragged out by Stern to work overtime on his birthday night.

After spending my 34th birthday at home, watching this group of old opponents who have become "difficult brothers" with the Lakers this season...

At this moment, Su Feng felt the passage of time...

At the same time, I was also wary of this group of old fritters who seemed to have died.

In April, at the last moment of the closing stage of the 4/11 season, the only thing that makes the fans feel gratified may be that because of this year's competition system, No.12 and No.9 still have a chance to compete for a playoff ticket .

Relying on the four victories that the other two "bears" of the three Texas "heroes" gave the Mavericks at the end of the regular season, on April 4th, the Dallas Mavericks, who have been struggling this season, finally locked a No.15 Play-off tickets between No.9.

In Los Angeles, the Lakers finally locked in the sixth position in the Western Conference with a record of 44 wins and 28 losses.

At the end of the regular season, the rankings from No. 11 to No. 12 in the Western Conference in the 10/[-] season are as follows:

Sonics, Warriors, Jazz, Grizzlies, Trail Blazers, Lakers, Nuggets, Kings, Mavericks, Hornets.

According to the new competition system adopted by the NBA in the 11/12 season, the Nuggets and the Kings will compete for a ticket for the seventh place in the Western Conference before the official start of the playoffs on April 4.

The winner between the Mavericks and the Hornets will compete with the loser between the Nuggets and the Kings for the eighth spot in the Western Conference.

This season, the rise of the Kings has something to do with Thomas Jr., who they had picked up at the end of the draft.

As the strongest "175" on the surface, in the regular season, Thomas Jr., together with Evans and Cousins, who were previously selected by the Kings, created a youthful storm in Sacramento.

Last summer, Su Feng did not let Kupchak choose Thomas Jr.

Because Thomas Jr.'s style and characteristics determine that he is not suitable for this Lakers.

To put it bluntly, as the two of Su Ke are getting older, it is no longer possible for them to supplement and assist defense for their own defenders like they did when they were young.

And even if Thomas Jr.'s offensive firepower can make him play a certain role in the second team.

But in turn...

As long as the opponent keeps playing with him, how will the Lakers deal with it then?

Su Feng, who had already foreseen that the Lakers would be difficult in the 11/12 season, was not disturbed by the Lakers' poor record in the regular season.

Because he knows very well that in terms of configuration and running-in, as long as this Lakers can regain their form, they will still be one of the most competitive teams in the NBA.

Moreover, what Thomas can do in the Lakers at the moment, Mo is not only capable...

Even Xiao Mo's defense is far above Thomas Jr.'s.

Because even if everyone's defense is air...

At least Mo's model looks much more intimidating than Thomas Jr.'s.

In the regular season, relying on D'Antoni to successfully activate Evans' sewer attributes, coupled with Thomas Jr.'s indiscriminate punching in the second lineup, the King's final eighth place in the Western Conference exceeded many people's expectations. In Su Feng's view, this proved once again...

Even D'Antoni, who can be used as "Little Paul" by Duhon, is indeed a head coach who is very good at training guards.

In Su Feng's previous life, Tyreke Evans, who played "20+5+5" in his rookie season, not only never reached this height again in his career...

Moreover, he was subsequently suspended for two years for violating the NBA's anti-drug agreement in 2019.

However, in this life......

With the riots that occurred along the historical line, the fate of many people was quietly rewritten.

The first is D'Antoni's coaching career.

Because after resigning from the Suns, D'Antoni has not been able to find a suitable next home, so after the lockout, in order to support his family and to prevent the NBA from forgetting himself, D'Antoni chose to take over the Kings.

And if you want to ask, why didn't D'Antoni go to New York as Su Feng remembered?

That is of course because the "false Zen master" Phil Jackson, who tortured another Thomas in the palace battle in this life, has secured the Knicks' main position by virtue of the twin-tower combination of "Stoudemire + Adelaide" in recent years. coach position.

In the 08/09 season, due to extreme anger, Stoudemire punched the fire cabinet on the sidelines, causing him to miss the rest of the Knicks games and the opening stage of the 09/10 season...

Therefore, he was a blessing in disguise, but because his tired knees got enough rest, he successfully escaped his doomed catastrophe.

Coupled with the presence of his teammate Ade, Stoudemire doesn't need to be alone when attacking like Su Feng remembers, but the two can happily fight and retreat on the outside...

So when the Knicks entered the playoffs in the 09/10 and 10/11 seasons...

What reason do you ask James Dolan to fire this "false Zen master" who is currently in the "honeymoon period" with the Knicks?

What an international joke!

Can bring Rotten Apple to the playoffs!

Even if you let Su Feng go, he might not be able to do it!

And it was under the influence of various chains that the young Evans finally met the Bole who could light up seven moles on the soles of his feet.

Plus, after this year's Star Weekend...

A miracle that would have been staged in New York also changed its main stage.

In March of this year, because during the trial training of Jeremy Lin, D'Antoni saw the potential of Xia Ji's dominance from him...

So give it a try with a fluke mentality.

In this way, the king tried out a piece of "Linsanity".

And with the firepower provided by Jeremy Lin and Thomas Jr. on the bench to the Kings during this devil's schedule...

Evans and Cousins, who can be infinitely happy in the starting lineup, also play better and better.

In short.

In March of this year, D'Antoni once again made people feel the charm of the "Maple coach".

And in contrast...

Because the Knicks don't have enough salary space to eat Anthony in this life, and Jackson doesn't want to dismantle this pair of twin towers who have been taking their lives in C...

And Billups, who was tired of raising babies in Denver before, officially switched to Rivers this season.

Therefore, during the recent period, it is no longer possible to suppress the old Carl who has become "Poison" Anthony...

It can be said that I live in dire straits every day.
