Chapter 519: Hurry Up!
Normally, as long as it enters late March, then it is the stage when the NBA team begins to sprint.
From this point on, the remaining ten or so games will determine whether a team can finish in the top eight in the East and West and thus qualify for the playoffs.
Although many NBA players, after getting a big contract, began to play as bad as they wanted, but for countless NBA players, the playoffs are still an honor.
Because it leads directly to the throne of that championship, it is the ring of that championship.
As long as you have a little bit of career pursuit, then a championship ring is something you should strive for.
Whether a player can be called a superstar or not usually has a championship ring to be eligible to judge.
Superstars like Barkley, the big fat man, who have never won a championship, are only a minority of the few.
To put it more bluntly, whether or not you can get a championship ring is also an important factor related to whether a player can get a big contract.
You don't have a championship ring, and you don't want to ask the team to give you a contract with an annual salary of tens of millions.
This year's situation is generally the same as before, some teams have landed safely, some teams are still struggling, and some teams are already preparing for vacation.
The Los Angeles Lakers in the first two years have already begun to prepare for vacation.
But this year is different, by the end of March, with six games left in the final game, the Lakers have actually gone ashore early.
This result will naturally not make the NBA experts fall through the glasses.
Because according to the Lakers' performance and results this season, it should be like this.
From the beginning of the season, the Lakers began to make a ferocious start to make strong progress, and by 52 games in February, they actually finished second in the West and third in the conference, behind the Cavaliers in the East and the Warriors in the West.
By 76 games, the Lakers had won 58 games, third in the West and sixth in the league.
The Memphis Grizzlies, who are eighth in the West, have won 38 games and lost 38 games.
Even the fourth-place Oklahoma City Thunder have a 51-25 record.
See.
This means that even if the fourth place in the West wins all six games left, they will only have 57 wins.
Even if the Lakers don't win a single game after that, they are still in third place.
The Lakers are 63 wins away from the second-place San Antonio Spurs, and the gap is also very large, and they can't catch up.
But the reason why they have achieved such results is actually due to many competent factors.
This year's Golden State Warriors are too fierce, and now with six games remaining, they have won 69 games and lost only seven!
If they win three more games, they will break the 72-10 record set by Jordan and the Bulls.
That's a very approximate amount of things.
Even if they can't break it, they are the number one in the league this year.
If the Lakers can't finish second or third, they will meet the Golden State Warriors in the first round and semifinals.
This is very bad for the Lakers.
That's why they played hard and didn't want to be distanced, and that's why.
Now they are finally out of the danger zone, and at most they meet the San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference semifinals.
Compared to the Golden State Warriors, the veterans of the San Antonio Spurs are much easier to play.
Besides, Kobe Bryant and Iverson are convinced that when Shen Huan comes over and plays a round of five or six playoff games to adapt to the game, then it will not be a problem to kill the San Antonio Spurs next.
As for whether they can take out the Golden State Warriors, it depends on the state and luck.
With Shen Huan here, the three of them joining forces together is definitely not without a chance to fight.
According to the NBA's schedule, on April 16, the Los Angeles Lakers will play their opponents.
Although the opponent has not yet been arranged, Kobe Bryant and Iverson called Shen Huan one after another, asking him to hurry to the United States and be ready to practice together.
Speaking of which, the NBA's schedule is very unreasonable.
After playing the last regular season game on April 13, only two days off is the playoffs, which is not at all as ample as the time for the Champions League.
But whoever calls the NBA is famous for a lot of games, and if you don't hurry up a little bit, the players won't even have much time to rest.
If it's all about games and training all year round, will the players be able to stand it?
So there's no way around it.
Shen Huan naturally couldn't have passed so early.
The students on his side have entered the final sprint for the college entrance examination.
If he had left in early April, it would have been delayed for more than two months.
By the time he returned, the college entrance examination was over.
Fortunately, Shen Huan had already taken this into account, and since the Spring Festival in February, he has adjusted his progress and made the most reasonable exam sprint plan.
It also speeds up the frequency of getting them to take the knowledge points of the test.
But Rao is like this, Shen Huan must also go to the United States after April 10th.
Three or five days of joint practice is enough for him who now has professional basketball (advanced) and for him who has already used the muscle-strengthening bone marrow washing formula (intermediate).
If it weren't for the fact that Kobe Bryant and Iverson also made a decoction of the muscle-strengthening bone washing formula (intermediate), he would not even want to fly to the United States on the 13th.
In fact, the attitude of the Lakers is not very positive.
They just regard this as a small wish to satisfy Kobe, and a guaranteed salary of $1 million is nothing at all.
Even if Shen Huan occupies a 15-man slot, with the Lakers' current team configuration, there are not enough 15 people on weekdays.
It's great to sign a player on a temporary basis to play a few games.
It's just that in the regular season, they haven't used a temporary contract once.
Therefore, in the entire Lakers team, only Kobe and Iverson are looking forward to Shen Huan, and other players have forgotten that they have such teammates.
They even felt that Shen Huan would not necessarily come to the playoffs.
Being looked down upon by so many people, Shen Huan can bear it, but the good master can't bear it!
"Ding Dong!"
"The system has found that many people have low eyes and strong doubts about the host's basketball ability. ”
"As a host who has inherited the excellent skills of this system, we must fight back against these people with the most painful response. ”
"When the host participates in the training match, you must subdue them and let them honestly cooperate with the host to win the game. ”
"If the task can be completed, then the system will give a small gift. Come on, boy!"
Shen Huan wanted to laugh when he looked at this task.
Now everyone is a super strong man with professional basketball (historical level)!
Originally, I was ready to stand up for the team as soon as I went to the team!
Otherwise, how can we make them awe-inspired, how can we form a teamwork?
Now you and I have thought about it, this is a gift for me!
