Chapter 878: A new record for the season, successfully passing the first round

"Kraft Nguyen has set a new record, and the second scoring record in a single game has been broken!"

"Forward in turmoil, come on, they've always been the boss!"

"88 points!

"The MVP of the season lost suspense again early, huh, why do you say 'again'?"

……

In fact, it was not only the NBA that exploded, basketball fans all over the world were stunned, although it was not the first time he had done this kind of thing!

It seems that one second, people are still discussing whether the Clippers will be affected by Sterling's imminent downfall, and thus lose the trifecta, and the next second, people's eyes are completely attracted by Kraft Nguyen's explosive performance, and various media are sending endless praise to the Celestial Empire.

In the cruel arena, it is a matter of course that there is no first in the first and no second in the martial arts.

In addition to consolidating his position as the No. 1 active player with this performance, Erniu also trampled on the other two superstars who also belonged to the league.

One of them, of course, is the direct victim - Kobe Bryant.

After the 40+ consecutive and 50+ records were all refreshed by the Celestial Dynasty last season, at the end of the season, the 81 points in a single game that the Black Mamba is most proud of were also broken by Ruan Er Niu.

In the past few seasons, Manniu has also had several opportunities to break this record, but often because the opponent was beaten early, Erniu lacked enough playing time in the game, and could only regrettably pass by the record.

From this point of view, Kobe Bryant's most hated thing should be the Suns, not Phoenix's "cooperation", and the bulls have no chance to break his record.

How important is 81 points to Kobe?

This is the most shining business card of Volute!

Before the 81 points, Kobe Bryant was just one of the many "Jordan successors", and after 81 points, Kobe Bryant became a veritable league sign and the "closest man to God".

From the moment Erniu broke this record, it means that the era belonging to Kobe has ended early.

When the reporter asked Kobe Bryant what he thought about Erniu's 88 points in a single game, Bryant instantly entered blackface mode and said seriously: "I will break this record again after my comeback." ”

Still full of unconvinced, from a realistic point of view, even if he returns to the field, it will be difficult for Mamba, who has suffered two major injuries in a row, to create brilliance again.

After the first victim, there is naturally the second victim - Kevin Durant.

Durant has always been known for his stability, and this season also broke Jordan's record of 25+ consecutive games (far from the record of the two bulls), coupled with Westbrook's long-term injury absence this season, Durant almost led the team alone at halftime, bringing the Thunder to the top three positions in the West.

And on the scoring list, the big tarantula is only behind the brute bull by less than 2 points per game.

Before scoring 88 points in a single game, Durant was very hopeful of winning this season, and it was also the first MVP trophy of his career, after all, Erniu had won the Podorov Cup in the previous two seasons, and it was too difficult to defend the title three times.

But that was the opinion of the majority of the media before the 88 points, and after that, the media of all parties almost overwhelmingly believed that this season's MVP trophy should be awarded to Kraft Nguyen.

A man of the time like Brute Bull should have accomplished a triple MVP, comparable to Bill Russell in ancient times and Larry Bird in the 80s.

When a player has made history, it's ridiculous to use some unspoken rules to mess with him.

Just as Einstein published the theory of relativity, although there was a group of opposition in the academic community to slander Einstein, as the influence of the theory of relativity continued to deepen, the Nobel Prize finally compromised Einstein. (The nominal reason for the award was not the theory of relativity, but Einstein's publication of the photoelectric effect in 1905.) )

In this world, there are all kinds of reputations for any celebrity, but it is not denied that when these people have done great things, no conspiracy can stop the proof that time and reality have given them.

Whether it is the NBA management or most of the American media, they have to consider their own credibility, and no one wants to be a clown at that historic level.

The regular season continues, and the Clippers have not forgotten the small goals they have set, and they will continue to work hard to set their own all-time record.

The Los Angeles Clippers will return to their home court for the last five-game home game at the end of the season, against the Mavericks, Lakers, Thunder, Kings, and Nuggets.

Except for the back-to-back games against the Mavericks, which narrowly won by one point, the other four opponents did not cause much trouble for the Clippers, including the Oklahoma City Thunder, who are third in the West.

Erniu gave Durant a hug after the game, as it was likely to be the last time the two would meet this season.

Whether the Thunder finish second or third, if they reach the Western Conference semifinals, they will meet the old and strong Spurs, and although Wei Shao has confirmed that he will return from injury in the playoffs, it is really difficult to predict how much he will recover.

The 76-5 Clippers are not focused enough against the final opponent of the season, the Portland Trail Blazers.

The Los Angelesers, who have already set a new all-time record, gave the Portlanders too many chances, resulting in the latter being the only team to have the best record against the Clippers in this great season, and they played 2-1 with the Clippers in the regular season to complete the double of a team with 76 wins in the season.

The Trail Blazers, who have already confirmed their playoff spot, are like winning a championship, and for them, beating the defending champions twice in the season is the biggest affirmation of a rebuilding team.

Roy and Oden are a thing of the past, and the current Trail Blazers are a team that belongs to Aldridge and Lillard!

The NBA regular season of the 13-14 season came to an end, and the Los Angeles Clippers undoubtedly stabilized the top of the league and the first place in the West with a 76-6 record in the season.

In a period of turmoil when the owner's position was in the air, they exploded into an astonishing fight, continuing to soar after the All-Star break, and in doing so, set a new record for the longest winning streak in the NBA.

On the major lists, Ruan Er Niu once again became a veritable ruler.

On the scoring list, Ruan Erniu beat Durant's average of 32.0 points per game with an average of 35.1 points per game, and was crowned the scoring champion for the fifth time in his career.

Don't look at Erniu being crowned the scoring champion again, but from the longitudinal timeline, Erniu's scoring data is on a downward trend, and that's because Kawaii and others in the Clippers have grown up, and they need to make sacrifices in terms of shooting.

A truly healthy team often requires the sacrifices of all players to bring out the best in their game, and Erniu's scoring stats are declining, but his offensive efficiency has improved a lot compared to the 11-12 season, which averaged the highest points per game.

On the rebounding list, Erniu was crowned the rebounding king with an average of 17.3 rebounds per game.

Another statistic that continues to dominate, but is down from the past, this time because Jordan Jr.'s rebounding ability has improved significantly, this season, Jordan Jr.'s rebounding average reached 12.6 times per game, ranking third on the rebounding list, behind the second bull and the Pistons' Andre Drummond.

On the assist list, Paul also defended the title with an average of 13.7 assists per game, the Clippers have many pitchers, and there is a stable output machine like Erniu, coupled with the decline of the main opponent Rondo, Paul has become more and more relaxed to win the assist king.

On the block list, Ruan Er Niu won the block king with an average of 3.4 blocks per game, and completed the season defense for the second time in his career, and the last time he won the block twice in a row was back in the 08-09 season and the 09-10 season.

Since joining the Clippers, Erniu has been ranked second on the season steal list for three consecutive seasons, which is probably one of the few regrets in Erniu's career.

Another person in charge of matching is the Spanish golden boy Ricky Rubio, who has been ranked third on the steal list for two consecutive seasons, and without the pickle girl combination, he has completed two consecutive steals on the list.

After talking about the data, let's talk about the ranking of the east and west.

In the East, the 1-8 places are: Pacers, Heat, Raptors, Bulls, Wizards, Nets, Hornets, Hawks.

So the Eastern Conference matchup in the playoffs is as follows:

Upper Half:

Indiana Pacers vs Atlanta Hawks

Chicago Bulls vs Washington Wizards

Lower Half:

Miami Heat vs Charlotte Hornets

Toronto Raptors vs Brooklyn Nets

The most disappointing team was the Nets, who were once the most promising team to challenge the Clippers' supremacy, but when they entered the regular season, people were surprised to find that this team was only strong on paper.

Pierce and Garnett are both old, Delon and Lopez are often plagued by injuries, and this team is really thigh-high, and there is only one big brother in Erniu, Embarrassment.

Singles Joe has once again proven his worth, but the Nets have struggled to show any more convincing qualities, including Kirilenko's bizarre pay cut that was questioned by various team managers during the season.

AK47 signed the Timberwolves to a two-year, $20 million contract last summer with a salary of $10.2 million for the new season, and in pursuit of a big contract, the Bears announced shortly after that they were out of contract.

AK47 averaged 12.4 points and 5.7 rebounds per game last season, and it is not a problem to get an $8 million contract according to his performance, but what is surprising is that everyone chose to join the Nets with an annual salary of only $3.18 million, which is not as good as 1/3 of the previous one.

To put it bluntly, the mini middle class joining the Nets is equivalent to a loss of 6.1 million meters.

More than one team manager said the league needed to look into the matter thoroughly, as the Nets owner must have had a private deal with his fellow countryman.

There is even a theory that Prokhorov, the woolly bear tycoon, may even give AK47 a piece of oil field directly in the woolly bear country as compensation.

The NBA league can query the accounts of domestic teams in the United States, but it can't manage the overseas capital operation, which is strange if there is no cat.

However, due to the Nets' poor performance, this shady trade did not go online in the end.

Turning the attention back to the West, the teams ranked 1-8 are: Clippers, Spurs, Thunder, Trail Blazers, Rockets, Warriors, Grizzlies, Mavericks.

The Suns were defeated in the final moments, and they were only one win away from the eighth-placed Mavericks, with Nguyen Er Niu's 88 points in a single game ultimately ending the Phoenix people's playoff hopes.

Thus, the playoff grouping of the West is determined:

Upper Western Half:

Los Angeles Clippers vs Dallas Mavericks

Portland Trail Blazers vs Houston Rockets

Lower Western Half:

San Antonio Spurs vs Memphis Grizzlies

Oklahoma City Thunder vs Golden State Warriors

The Clippers' first-round opponent will be the Mavericks, and Mark Cuban has tried to strengthen the team this season, but this has not stopped the Mavericks' overall strength from declining.

Swapping out OJ Mayo and bringing in Monta Ellis didn't bring about a qualitative change for this team.

The Clippers didn't give the Mavericks any chance in the opening game of the playoffs on April 20 local time, and from the first shot after the start of the game, the Dallas Cowboys didn't get a chance to catch up with the score.

At 85:110, the Clippers took the opponent lightly and won G1.

G2's Mavericks exploded, with Ellis and Marion scoring 20 points at the same time, and the home team even scored 15 points at halftime.

But the Clippers, who had experienced the storm, appeared extremely calm, and they played steadily in the third quarter, using offensive and defensive transitions to chase the score again and again, and finally completed the comeback in this quarter.

In the final quarter of the game, the Clippers launched a wave of 14:3 attacks under the leadership of Erniu and Sancang, which opened the score.

The Mavericks were also reluctant to give up, and Nowitzki scored eight points in just two minutes to help the team tie the score.

At the critical moment, JJ Redick stepped up, and when the pickle girl combination was heavily guarded and Leonard had a bad hand in the game, he received two consecutive passes from two bulls and three shots on the wing, and hit a lethal three-pointer.

At 113:116, the Clippers narrowly beat the Mavericks by 3 points, and they will go to Dallas with a big score of 2:0.

The Mavericks launched a frantic comeback in G3, and Monta Ellis blew up Paul in this game, shooting 12-of-22 from the field, including 3-of-7 from three-point range and 2-of-2 from the free throw line, for 29 points.

Nowitzki also hit a last-minute comeback to defend his first home court with a score of 108-109 and tie the aggregate score at 2-1.

Unfortunately, the Mavericks of G4 failed to continue the strong performance of G3, and after playing a good half-time, the Clippers once again showed a strong play in the third quarter.

Erniu, Redick, Paul, Ray Allen, Leonard, and Green hit three-pointers one after another, and the crazy three-point rain made the game enter garbage time early, and the Clippers, who scored 44 points in a single quarter, finally won the crucial G4 and successfully won the match point.

G5 returned to Los Angeles, Paul changed the norm from the first quarter, showed a strong desire to attack, and scored 12 points in a single quarter to help the team take a 12-point lead at 23:35.

Since then, the Mavericks, like G1, have never taken the lead again.

The Clippers have played their overall advantage to this day, and in general, unless Rick Carlisle on the sidelines instantly turns into Jim Carrey in "The Impostor", the Mavericks can only go home fishing.

4:1, God won't be a bald head, so the Clippers successfully advanced to the next round!
