Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

Time advances to the final stage of the regular season.

The Lakers' idea is to run into the current lineup, prepare for the playoffs, and sneakily secure eighth place in the Western Conference, hoping to meet the Jazz instead of the Rockets in the first round.

After all, comparing the two, it seems easier to beat the Jazz, even if the Jazz are the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference.

The Rockets were overjoyed when they saw no movement from the Lakers, because the hard nut to crack was given to the Jazz, the leader in the Western Conference, so they could just happily be their second choice in the Western Conference, quietly make a fortune, and prepare to beat the Clippers in the first round.

The problem is that Jazz also saw this situation!

Let us play the Lakers and Li Shengli, what can we do? In order to ensure a safe first round, it is definitely better to play the Clippers.

For a time, there was a three-way competition and the Clippers were injured!

Without recruiting or provoking anyone, the Clippers have now become the target of being beaten by the boss and second-ranked players in the Western Conference. Although it doesn't matter who they get beaten by, this involves the issue of initiative and passivity.

Are you really going to act like the Clippers because you don’t want to lose face? !

But thinking back, the Clippers also know that the Rockets are a little more difficult to gnaw on. According to the current rankings of Jazz first, Rockets second, Clippers seventh, and Lakers eighth, the Clippers also suddenly wanted to capture the Lakers' No. 8. Bit.

…

Therefore, at the end of the regular season this season, because the Lakers should not have been in seventh or eighth place, the Western Conference was in chaos.

To be honest, teams in the playoffs usually don’t act and deliberately lose, but this sentence also says ‘general circumstances’, and obviously the current situation is not ordinary.

…

Jazz: Go ahead, fall to second place, we don’t want to beat the Lakers!

Rockets: The idiot Jazz, don't act, stay in the first place and don't move. We don't want to beat the Lakers.

Clippers: We want to play, we want to be eighth, and we don’t want to play the Rockets!

…

Whoever is first will beat the Lakers.

The problem is that the two companies seem to have forgotten the existence of the Clippers, because the Clippers still want to compete with the Lakers for eighth place. When the seventh or eighth place changes, the first or second place becomes panicked.

Rockets \u0026 Jazz: Your uncle’s Clippers, please stop!

Clippers:? ? ?

Rockets \u0026 Jazz: Stay at No. 7 and wait to be beaten!

Clippers:? ? ?

Rockets \u0026 Jazz: They are all first-rounders anyway, don’t struggle!

Clippers:? ? ?

…

In the final time.

The final game of the three teams was crazy, and the Spurs, who were once a strong team and fell to second last in the Western Conference this season, panicked and were beaten by these three teams in the remaining 9 games.

MMP, are all three of your families cattle?

We are all in such a miserable state, and if we want to show off and fight for Duncan, are you still just one person?

The Spurs cursed wildly in the final stage.

When the Clippers beat us by 20 points, no one was happy. Instead, they scolded the Clippers after the game for being terrible and disgusting. We played so poorly and still won. Who dares to say that the Clippers weren't terrible?

I was also unhappy when the Rockets won by 10 points, because the final score of the game was 60:70, which was quite explicit.

As for the encounter with the Jazz, the Spurs won by another 8 points, and this time it was so exaggerated that the Utah duo suddenly decided to form a team on the night of the game. A bunch of weaklings came on the bench and didn't even need to perform. They lost to the Spurs in their normal performance.

…

To be honest, the Spurs were happily preparing to occupy the last place in the Western Conference and increase their chances of getting the No. 1 pick in this year's draft. After all, the national prediction... Duncan, who has great basic skills, not only booked the No. 1 pick in the draft, but also booked a future superstar. s position.

But the Spurs never expected that because of the Lakers and Li Shengli, the entire Western Conference would be in chaos, and they would be dragged from the bottom to the bottom.

Just saying that the west side is fine.

The problem is that the Spurs are facing an army of bad guys from all over the league. Everyone is racking their brains and thinking about how to lose the game. David Robinson discovered for the first time... losing a game is sometimes more difficult than winning one!

Win, just win, nothing to say.

To lose, you have to lose truthfully, lose logically, and lose reasonably!

Fortunately, now, it has already entered the most critical stage of dispatching all the troops. The Eastern Conference was not affected much, but the Spurs were forced to win three games and gave up the last place in the Western Conference. prime location.

…

The last 10 games! !

There are 29 teams in the league, with a total of more than 290 games.

After Li Shengli's 80-point night, this final stage can be said to be the biggest failure in the league.

A team that didn't qualify for the playoffs would be a bad team, as long as it didn't go too far. But because the Lakers appeared in a position they shouldn't have, even the Jazz, Rockets, and Clippers were forced to join. Tactically destroying the plan.

The previous one lost because of Duncan's basic skills.

Later, the reason for losing was to avoid the car accident caused by Li Shengli leading the Lakers.

So...the final stage became more chaotic.

…

It stinks!

Three weeks of competition just stinks.

Except for the strong teams in the East and West, the attendance and ratings of other games have plummeted, because no one wants to watch a bad game, and thinking that France loses is more like a farce, and this negative impact... Tern was about to collapse.

If it weren't for the harsher punishment in the first place.

If it hadn't been for so many game suspensions for the Lakers' main players.

The Lakers would not be in this situation today. Although it does not affect the Lakers' qualification for the playoffs, it does affect the league's influence at this stage.

As for the Lakers... they just had to tell the world, because they launched a heavy counterattack against Stern's sanctions, and Stern couldn't sleep after being beaten.

…

Finally the regular season is over.

In the final stage, the Lakers' only purpose was to secure a playoff spot, and more importantly, personnel adjustments were made, including the starting handover between Kobe and Eddie, the offensive and defensive ratio of Ben and Campbell, and their record was stable at eighth in the Western Conference.

At the same time...the Rockets and Jazz are avoiding the Lakers, and the Clippers are avoiding the Rockets.

The Clippers are unhappy in seventh place because the Rockets are second.

The second-place Rockets are very happy because they avoided the Lakers in the first round.

The No. 1 Jazz were scolded. It wasn't because they lost in the end because they didn't work hard. It was because they played a little fiercely in the front and won a lot of games. In addition, they were harassed by a bunch of bad guys. It was difficult to grab the second place.

At this point, the Western Conference first round lineup is out...

Utah Jazz VS Los Angeles Lakers.

Houston Rockets VS Los Angeles Clippers.

Seattle SuperSonics VS Phoenix Suns.

Portland Trail Blazers VS Minnesota Timberwolves.

…

For the Lakers, this result is relatively acceptable.

After finishing the final game, the Lakers team headed to Salt Lake City for an away game. The Lakers played the Jazz in the first round. It was a high-quality first round that had not been seen in many years. Before the playoffs started, the Lakers attracted a lot of attention. Huge amount of attention.

At this time, after arriving in Salt Lake City and checking into the hotel, Li Shengli met Crotty and Ben in the room. Thinking back...this is Li Shengli's fifth year playing in the NBA.

"Crotty, it's another playoff year!"

"Yes, it's our turn to win the championship."

"Big Ben, I picked you out just for today!"

"Yes, I am always ready to kill everyone!"

"Okay, don't worry about the first round." Li Shengli said to the two of them: "You two basically contributed on the defensive end. Tomorrow you have to put in some effort and get off to a good start. In the first game...it belongs to Kobe, so help me! "

"No problem, one of our own!" Daben waved his fist to show his determination.

"Kobe? You should!" Crotty liked Kobe's diligence.

"Okay, then the arrangements are made, just listen to me."

…

On the other side, Kobe and Fisher lived in the same room, and compared to Kobe, Fisher's life was a bit miserable.

"Fisher, did you turn on the air conditioner?"

"No, you have to wear a coat when going out in this weather. I'm not stupid enough to turn on the air conditioner."

"Then why do I feel...chilly?"

"Is it an illusion?" Fisher scratched his head and lay down on the bed: "Go to rest early. Tomorrow is the first day of the playoffs. Don't affect your state. Maybe one day we can be like Li and win a game." Fuck him 80% and shock the United States...no, the whole world!"

"You? Are you dreaming?" Kobe glanced at Fei Shi with disgust.

"Ah, boy, don't you only dream about this kind of thing?" Fei Shi'er said unconvinced.

"I'm different. I have a hunch..."

"What premonition?"

"I don't know, I suddenly became excited."

"This... is inexplicable! You are just too strong, which is why you are hallucinating like this. Okay, go to bed early."
