The Golden Invincible of Basketball

Jokic's injury recovery is progressing well, but there is still a long time to come back.

Biyombo and McGee's play this time will become very important for the Pelicans.

This one and a half month at the end of the season is also critical for the Pelicans.

The previous wave of record ups and downs narrowed the record gap between the Spurs and them, and now there is only a gap of 3 wins.

Once there are big ups and downs, they are likely to be squeezed from second to third by the Spurs.

The second and third looks like only a difference in rankings, but if both teams reach the second round of the playoffs, that means home advantage.

If the Pelicans meet with the Spurs, they certainly won't want to lose this.

So they will definitely go all out for every game that follows.

妇女 On March 8, the day of Women's Day, the Pelicans and the Clippers ushered in the last match of the season.

Williams gave McKee about 10 minutes of playing time according to the results of discussions with Tang Tian. He also handed out excellent data of 8 points, 4 rebounds and 2 blocks.

The Pelicans finally won the game steadily, expanding their winning streak to five games.

Two days later, the Pelicans played against the Kings. They played against the Kings and eventually won the opponents and won 6 straight games.

When Carle and Cousins ​​rested during the intersession, a fierce quarrel broke out on the bench.

I can see that one of the two will definitely be leaving next season.

The day after I beat the Kings, the Pelicans faced the Jazz back-to-back.

The Jazz were extremely tenacious in this game, and Whiteside didn't have much advantage against Gobel.

The two teams also stalemate until the last moment. Ingles finally hit a phallus and killed the Pelicans, which also ended the Pelicans' 6 consecutive victories.

This game also reflected the disadvantage of Jokic's absence, and they scored 20 to 40 on the bench.

Twenty-three days later, the Pelicans ushered in their last match against the Spurs.

The Pelicans were not just a substitute disadvantage in this game. The outside shooter also felt bad. The Spurs' shrinking defense made it extremely difficult for the Pelicans to score.

In the end, the Pelicans suffered a losing streak, and the Spurs also changed the regular season record to 1 to 3 to avoid being swept away.

Uh ...

These games have become the epitome of the Pelicans for this month and a half.

They won more and lose less, but the impact of Jokic's absence was obvious.

After waiting for half a month, the Pelicans 'record is 59 wins and 22 losses, which is the same as the Spurs' record.

Because of the advantage of the playing record, they temporarily ranked second in the West.

At this time, the last game became extremely critical.

The Pelicans' opponent in the last game was the Thunder.

The Thunder now ranks eighth in the Western Conference, but only leads the Lakers by half a game in the ninth.

The Lakers' last game was against the Warriors.

Such games make rankings extremely complicated and delicate.

If the Pelicans win the Thunder and the Lakers win the Warriors, the Lakers will squeeze the Thunder at the last minute and become the eighth in the West.

Conversely, for any outcome other than this, the Thunder will continue to rank eighth.

The Pelicans are going to compete with the Spurs for the second place, and they must win the last game. The Warriors have now locked the league's first place, and their main game will likely not play in the last game.

In this way, the only possibility for the Lakers to advance has become a high probability event.

The Thunder's locker room, after the daily training class, the players have returned home one after another.

The team's captain and locker room leader Nick Collison was holding a schedule study in the locker room at this time.

Durant is recovering from the injury. At this time, he returned to the locker room after doing some training in the strength room.

Seeing Collison was still there, Durant walked over and laughed and talked to him.

When Durant entered the Thunder, Collison was on the team. Now all these years have passed. The team was gone, and only Collison was left.

Their relationship is also very good.

I chatted, and the two talked naturally about the playoffs.

Durant was very depressed when he talked about this.

Although he can't play with injuries now, he still cares about the team. Now the team's hit is in the hands of the Pelicans and in Tang Tian's hands.

That feeling really made him very uncomfortable.

"Kevin, you seem to have a good relationship with Stephen. You ask the Warriors if they can finally win the Lakers?"

Collison said suddenly.

I think from another angle, as long as the Warriors can win the Lakers, then the Pelicans can't win the Thunder is secondary.

"Let me ask."

Dulan nodded.

In fact, the Warriors also have a reason to win the Lakers.

勇 The Warriors' record this season is 67 wins, which has refreshed the team's best record in regular season history.

Recording such things is definitely higher, 68 wins are better than 67 wins.

After I was separated from Collison, he called Curry.

The two already had contact information with each other during the All-Star Game last year.

"No, Kevin, I won't play the last game."

But Curry's answer directly poured him a pot of cold water.

"Why? Don't you want to hit a higher regular season history?"

Durant didn't give up.

"That doesn't matter ~ www.novelmtl.com ~ I'm going to prepare for the playoffs that will start right away."

Curry's answer is very straightforward, 67 wins are already recorded, so winning one more game is not so important.

They are not saying they have the opportunity to impact the Bulls' 72-win regular season record.

Durant was helpless to hear this.

I heard Curry over there, and it reminded me of the Thunder's current situation.

其实 "Actually, Kevin, if you are interested, you can consider coming to Golden State to play with me after the contract ends, I think we will be very good."

Curry said over the phone.

Now everyone knows that the salary cap will rise sharply in the summer of 2016, when the Warriors have enough salary space to sign a maximum salary contract.

Durant's contract will just expire at that time, that is an absolute good opportunity.

Two people who admire each other play together.

Three top shooters, they will achieve a dynasty.

兰 Durant stumbled when he heard this, but immediately rejected Curry.

He can't leave Oklahoma. He is a principled person, so he won't run back and forth like James.

He won the championship with Westbrook in Oklahoma, and that was the result he wanted.

I hung up the phone, he was still a little hesitant, his heart was firm, but I don't know why when Curry recruited him, he had an instant heartbeat.

He immediately shook his head.

Curry will not play in the last game, unless the Lakers pit themselves, otherwise the Lakers win is already a foregone conclusion.

In this case, whether the Thunder can advance to the playoffs depends on the Pelicans' face.

Damn it, **** league schedule.
