NBA: Starting CBA system

Jiang Hao replied casually:

"Don't be obsessed with me, do what you need to do."

In fact, he really wanted to say that when she becomes a LeBron hater, we will be good friends.

In the back-to-back game against Thunder two days later.

The somewhat "floating" Jiang Hao and the Spurs suffered their first 20-point loss since 2012!!!

And they lost to the future direct opponent of the Western Conference playoffs: the Thunder!!!

The reason for the loss was not that Ginobili and Duncan were resting.

But it was because the Thunder fired all their arrows.

125:105, directly abused the Spurs!!!

The King and Bomb combination combined for 63 points, and the scoring leader Durant scored 38 points alone.

Harden scored 19 points, Ibaka scored 15 points.

7 Thunder players scored in double digits, and 8 players on the team hit three-pointers.

It was like firing all their arrows.

When the feel came together, it was unstoppable!

This was the first time that Jiang Hao experienced the feeling of an NBA player's smooth play. For such a backcourt team, it was really smooth sailing.

Jiang Hao could hold down one end of the leak, but he couldn't stop the other end from leaking. How could he prevent this from happening? ? ? ?

So he was running around all the time. Although he also scored 28 points, he was obviously exhausted by the opponent's super talented team.

The Spurs' Wu Sheng took the blame. After coming on as a substitute in the early stage, he had a fight with Westbrook, which led to a sudden 20-point deficit in the second half of the first quarter.

It was difficult to catch up later.

The Spurs are not a team that catches up quickly, but the Thunder are a team that scores quickly. Durant is a bug whether he has the ball or not. No one can stop Westbrook when he rushes. There is also a left-handed talented general Harden on the bench.

President Putin was smiling on the sidelines. You Spurs only have one talented newcomer, but my Thunder are all talented!

"The 2011-2012 season is definitely the strongest season in the history of the Thunder."

After the game, Jiang Hao also lamented the pressure when he really faced the three youngsters of the Thunder. In fact, the three youngsters are okay, they are all outside players, mainly because there is a jumping man blocking king Ibaka. This 28-card is tough and can fly. His own snake step was magically blocked by him once.

This is a bit like the Thunder in 2023, with accumulated strength and all young and talented.

If you lose, you lose.

But because it is the Thunder, the loss actually announces the end of the Spurs' regular season.

Because with the loss of this game, the Spurs also lost the key card battle and ranked second in the West.

Not as good as the top, but better than the bottom, basically stabilized the second place in the West.

The Thunder has 55 wins, the Spurs have 52 wins, and the Lakers have 48 wins and are ranked third.

The Spurs also held a special meeting to study the regular season situation of each team.

In fact, isn't the 82 regular season games just for the last ranking?

For role players, it is more about getting into the playoffs and getting the playoff bonus. What's the point of regular season data ranking? It has nothing to do with them anyway. They want to play a few good shots and get into the top five.

Grizzlies 47 wins and fourth.

The Spurs are likely to face the seventh-placed Mavericks or Nuggets in the first round. The second round is confusing, either the Grizzlies or the Lakers.

I looked at the next three or four games.

Everyone is "having their own ulterior motives" to calculate the opponent.

Forget it.

In the case that the first place is no longer possible.

Unless the Spurs desperately perform a losing streak and actively drop to third place, they can choose their opponents.

But the results are too close in the future. It is worthy of the bloody Western Conference. Except for the Thunder and the Spurs, the difference in the future is only 0.5-1.5 wins, which means it can change at any time.

The Spurs are likely to get themselves involved in the game. What if the Lakers and the Grizzlies boast about their winning streak, and the Spurs suddenly drop to fourth place in the end? ?

If they meet the Thunder in the second round, the whole world will laugh.

So in the end, the whole team decided to "keep it in place" and play the last few games as they should, neither letting the opponent down nor trying too hard. All the players on the roster will take turns to rest, and Jiang Hao will be benched for a game against the Grizzlies next time.

Because the Grizzlies play too fiercely, and they are likely to meet in the playoffs, so Jiang Hao, the nuclear weapon, will be benched first.

Otherwise, it would not be worthwhile to be injured by the Grizzlies in the end. The Spurs were trying their best to get back on track after being defeated by the Grizzlies in the eighth place.

"No problem, we will beat the Cubs in the playoffs." Jiang Hao agreed.

He actually rested for one game during the ten-game winning streak, and played all the rest of the time.

It's just that he can't pursue data this season, and he can't enter the personal season honor rankings of the best rookie, the first and second teams of the rookie team because of the number of games, so the number of appearances really doesn't matter.

It's okay to pursue full attendance next season, and he can also get the full attendance award in the contract.

As for the total data of his career? ? ?

He is only 20 years old. If he is really thinking about building the future at the age of 20, such as the 211 project and the 411 project, wouldn't he be like LeBron James?

Even if Jiang Hao is in his 30s mentally and knows how strong he is, he won't think about these things.

No matter how much the career score increases, it is not as effective as winning one more championship, and this thing becomes more and more of a burden as time goes by. For example, Kobe is also suspected of scoring points now. He is worried about gains and losses. At this time, he should enjoy the game more or retire and enjoy life after success.

After the meeting, the players also analyzed the Eastern Conference a little bit.

In the Eastern Conference, the Bulls can really fuck the main players. With 56 wins, they are still letting Rose fight hard.

But it is true that the Heat are really chasing behind, with 54 wins!

Recently, they have won six consecutive games.

After the Knicks' winning streak was broken, they became the team with the longest winning streak in the league.

Jiang Hao was not surprised.

This season was the year when the Heat's chemistry gradually peaked in the previous life.

At the beginning of the season, they carefully arranged tactics and so on, mainly to run in the team lineup, so the ups and downs in the record were normal. Jiang Hao, who spent the early season with the Heat, knew very well what Spo was doing, and they obviously understood that winning first was not winning.

Therefore, they did not fight for the first place in the East.

In the later period of the season, the Heat's team chemistry became better and better, and the tactics were also well-honed, so naturally the record came up.

The Pacers are still third, the Celtics are fourth, the Hawks are sixth, the Magic are sixth, and the Knicks are seventh.

"Brother, don't be third, quickly drop to fourth, don't let Ainge set a game."

After seeing this ranking, Jiang Hao immediately sent a text message to Bojan.

The Pacers really need to lose, otherwise James will be too comfortable! ! !

"I know, hush, don't say it, we are operating it."

Bojan sent a relieved emoticon.

As expected, the anti-spread alliance has a tacit understanding. Obviously, they all know that the "ideal" state of the Heat is: first meet the Knicks brothers to kill each other.

In the second round, they will meet the winner between the most annoying Celtics and Magic. These two teams were the most annoying teams during James' Cavaliers period. Whoever wins will be enough for the Heat to drink a pot.

It doesn't matter if the Pacers are third.

But if the Pacers are third, then the Pacers will meet the Magic in the first round and the Heat in the second round. Meeting the Heat before the Eastern Conference Finals is something no one wants to see.

So the old birds in the Eastern Conference, the Celtics, the Magic, and the Hawks have been making plans based on the record. They understand.

The Bulls are just a single-core team with a new star, and the regular season record is based on the many wins they have won by fucking superstars. When it comes to the playoffs, this team with only one strong point is much easier to beat than the Heat.

So they are all shrinking back and want to meet the Bulls, who are the first in the East.

The Pacers realized it later. From Bojan's tone, it is obvious that the Pacers also wanted to play the Bulls instead of the Heat first, which is right.

Jiang Hao also thinks that the Eastern Conference Finals between the Heat and the Pacers is the Eastern Conference Finals, and the Bulls are really not good enough.

The Pacers met the Heat in the semifinals, which was a little less interesting, and the finals would not be good.

It's not that the Bulls are bad, but there is really no helper around Rose, and the Bulls will be even worse in the Eastern Conference Finals. James's block on Rose can be made into a 10-minute highlight. Violence is used to fight violence, and violent point guards are useless in front of James.

However, there is another big thing before the end of the regular season.

That is, the free market will be closed 2 weeks before the start of the playoffs, which means the trading deadline is approaching.

This period is when the management of each playoff team is frantically busy, checking for gaps in the regular season and making final reinforcements, and can also use the league's injury exceptions to sign more players.

Ensure that each team is strong and ready to play in the playoffs.

Otherwise, the league stipulates that after the start of the playoffs, there will be no more trades, 10-day short contracts, etc., and players promoted from the development league will appear. Once the playoff roster is determined, it cannot be changed.

And weak teams will take this opportunity to use star puzzles and role players to exchange draft picks with strong teams.

Instant combat power for draft picks or potential rookies, this is a common operation before the playoffs every year.

Or two veterans are exchanged, anyway, it is the strong teams that make up for the personnel in various positions.

The Spurs look calm, but they are actually busy in secret.

This day.
