NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal

Los Angeles.

The night of the 10th.

Wang Zelin came to the nightclub and went crazy. He was celebrating the fruits of tonight's victory with his teammates, and he was also feeling the southwest for the smooth progress of the team's plan.

At the mobilization meeting at the end of last month looking forward to the final schedule in April, the Blazers team set a baseline for the next seven games:

5 wins in 7 battles!

As long as 5 wins, the Portland Trail Blazers can be crowned the regular season champion!

Now, in addition to No. 1 playing against the Pacers, Wang Zelin and the others have won the remaining three games against the Jazz, Warriors and Clippers. As for the last three games against the Mosaic, the Cavaliers and the Lakers in this year's regular season, they have not won every time they meet the Blazers.

So, is the Blazers 68 wins next?

...

the other end.

Oklahoma.

Energy Arena.

After nearly three weeks of absence, Russell Westbrook will be back tonight, and the reason why this game is set is that tonight's opponent is different.

Los Angeles Lakers!

This is the Thunder's opponent tonight.

It's not to say how strong the Lakers are now, after all, just look at the Lakers' current record. Also played 79 games, the Lakers record at this time is only 47 wins and 32 losses. Although still ranked 8th in the West, the 9th Dallas Mavericks also came to 47 wins and the Lakers 8th position, as if they were about to fail.

Therefore, tonight's longest game near the end of the season is very important for the Lakers.

As for the Thunder, the current record is 57 wins and 23 losses, although it can't catch up with the Trail Blazers, who have achieved 65 wins and 14 losses in No. 1, and the Spurs, which have achieved 63 wins and 16 losses in No. 2.

But in any case, after the fourth-ranked Clippers lost to the Blazers, they still maintained a record of 55 wins. It is very difficult to overtake the Thunder in three games.

Therefore, the Thunder's position of the top 3 in the Western Conference this season is stable, and Durant and Westbrook can sit back and relax for the time being.

But Kobe is different.

If it can't be won tonight, and if Nowitzki leads the team to win again tomorrow, the Lakers are only likely to miss the playoffs for two consecutive seasons.

For the proud Black Mamba, this is unacceptable.

You must know that before the All-Star Game, the Lakers had entered the ranks of the top 6 in the Western Conference. Unfortunately, the team boss Nash was too old. This season’s stop-and-go has greatly affected the Lakers’ regular season plan.

After the All-Star Game, the winning rate of about 50% was difficult to maintain...

But don't forget, this is the Wild West!

Did you think it was the East?

The regular season has no winning rate of more than 40%, that is, as long as you win more than 37 games in the 82 regular season games, you can get a playoff ticket steadily.

However, on the western side, there is no regular season winning rate of around 60%, and less than 50 regular season victories, basically missing the playoffs.

Sounds ironic.

But this is the cold reality!

Before long, something that made Kobe feel more and more cold still happened.

On the night of the 10th, in the Lakers' away game against the Thunder, Russell Westbrook, who was scheduled to return in the penultimate game of the season, broke out in full force.

The audience scored 12 of 24 shots and scored 30 points, 11 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals, 1 turnover and 2 fouls. Super quasi-triple-double data.

Although the shooting rate of 0 in 3-pointers is a little embarrassing, from the overall point of view, the flaws are not concealed.

What makes Kobe even more desperate is that Westbrook scored a 30+ triple-double tonight, but it did not affect Durant's overall performance too much.

In 41 minutes of play, he made 8 of 26 shots. Although the shooting rate was somewhat inefficient, he still scored 27 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks, 2 turnovers and 3 fouls. All-around data.

Durant is as steady as an old dog as always!

On the Lakers side, Nash, one of the older Big Three, was affected by a back injury and missed most of the Lakers’ games this season. Even if he doesn’t play, he can only play again in the first round of the playoffs.

Another giant, Pau Gasol, was unable to play tonight due to a recurrence of an old injury, so he could only rest.

In the end, only Kobe was left to fight to the last moment with a group of young people.

Bryant, who scored 28 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, was desperate!

In the face of the Thunder players, he once again felt that his heart was more than enough.

Perhaps, he really should withdraw from the stage of history.

Not to mention Kobe's complex feelings, after all the games of all teams on the 10th, they basically played 79 regular-season games. Of course, some teams have played 80 regular-season games.

At present, the East is not mentioned for the time being, and the ranking of the West is as follows:

No. 1: Portland Trail Blazers (65-14)

No. 2: San Antonio Spurs (63-17)

No. 3: Oklahoma City Thunder (57-22)

No. 4: Los Angeles Clippers (55-24)

No. 5: Houston Mosaic (51-28)

No. 6: Golden State Warriors (50-30)

No. 7: Memphis Grizzlies (49-30)

No. 8: Los Angeles Lakers (47-32)

No. 9: Dallas Mavericks (47-32)

No. 10: Phoenix Suns (46-33)

11. Minnesota Timberwolves (38-39)

No. 12: Denver Nuggets (36-43)

No. 13: New Orleans Pelicans (35-45)

No. 14: Sacramento Kings (26-50)

No. 15: Utah Jazz (24-55)

Judging from the current situation ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the fiercer competition in the west is probably in these two areas.

First, there is the final ranking competition between the Mosaic Warriors and the Grizzlies, who are ranked 5th to 7th. Of course, the three teams have basically won the tickets for the playoffs. The so-called ranking competition today is actually a deeper level, which is to select the opponents in the first round of the playoffs from the 2nd to 4th place in the West. .

The second is the competition between the Lakers, Mavericks and Suns between the 8th and 10th.

In Wang Zelin's view, the competition of the last three teams is far better than the first three, after all, this involves the last playoff ticket of the season.

If an NBA team wants to create greater commercial value, the most fundamental means is to play games.

In the playoffs, the attention given by the outside world will be far greater than that in the regular season, which is also conducive to the team's pursuit of greater commercial value.

In the final analysis, there is still no way around those two words - profit!

Players want to break into the playoffs, want to stand on a higher stage to show their value, so as to seek the next bigger contract.

Team executives also want to make it to the playoffs, because it can give the team more exposure and better business interests.

...

...

On the night of the 11th, the Mavericks defeated the Eastern underdog 75ers 107:101 at home and won the 48th win of the season to successfully overtake the Lakers and rank among the top 8 in the Western Conference. Once the news came out, it immediately caused a sensation in the league.

After causing this sensation, the most intense discussion among fans and the media was not the 34 points and 10 rebounds of Nuo Tianwang, but...

The Lakers are in danger!
