Chapter 855 [New Record!] 77 wins and 5 losses! 】
Zhou Xuan won the Eastern Conference Player of the Month in March again, and this season he won the Eastern Conference Weekly and Monthly Awards. Durant also has the best three-in-a-row Western Month table.
After a light win over the Jazz on the road, the Knicks returned to the home court to handle the Nets. The Nets lost very simply, Garnett was absent this time, and the inside starter was Mason Plumlee, who at 107kg couldn't stop Jefferson's inside attack.
Leonard returned and played 16 minutes off the bench, but he needed some time to get back into shape.
After 18 consecutive wins, the Knicks are 72-4, and even if they lose all of them, they will tie the Bulls' record.
The celebrities commented on the competition. Payton said in an interview: "This is too exaggerated, no one can play this kind of record, although Durant has a high voice, Zhou Xuan has won the regular season MVP three times in a row, but I think this season's MVP should still belong to him." Don't say anything about counting jù, if you give Zhou Xuan 38 minutes of playing time, he will definitely be more beautiful than Durant, there are too many games that the Knicks can easily win. Zhou Xuan can often get 20 assists in 30 minutes. ”
Barkley said on the show: "Lacob and Alexander may want to jump off the building together, and then they can get out of this dream that I don't know how many floors it is, and go to a world without Zhou Xuan......"
Jordan said: "There are too many bad teams this season, and the Knicks are all invincible, which just shows some problems in the league, and I think the draft model should be changed." ”
On the 5th, the Knicks defeated the Wizards.
On the 7th, he played away against the Heat. In Wade's absence, the Heat sent a guard combination of Hardaway Jr. and Chalmers to fight with the Knicks for offense, but unfortunately was abused. Bosh also knocked out Scola.
Mike Beasley didn't play a minute in this game. The Heat continue to suffer injuries but continue to hide the past list, and some experts say that Heat coach Spoelstra has given up on Beasley.
After the game, Spoelstra denied the rumors and said Beasley would be a big surprise for the Heat in the playoffs. Beasley's playing time has been getting less and less, not playing more than six minutes in a single game since last month, and not even being in the squad for the last four games.
Cut by the Suns and hidden by the Heat, Beasley doesn't seem to have a chance to be a star again. Some media broke out that Beasley was rapping loudly in the locker room, and the lyrics were still disturbing the morale of the military, which angered James, which was the reason why he was hidden. Now there is discord on the Heat, which will undoubtedly add to the hidden danger of the upcoming playoffs.
James, who scored 38 points, said righteously: "I still have a lot of confidence in the team, we have no infighting, it's a great whole. Everybody has to be mentally motivated, we played average in the regular season, and we're going to fight hard in the playoffs, not necessarily because we can't beat the Knicks. Mike had some problems, but I'm sure he'll adjust and play a role in the system. ”
Wade was injured, and James took the team's victory or defeat on his shoulders. He's done well lately, even if he loses this time, he fights to the end. Heat fans were touched by this, and regardless of the outcome, James showed his fighting spirit and super individual ability, more like the core than Wade.
The next day, Miami basketball expert Cowan also spoke for James.
He wrote: In the past few seasons, Wade and Bosh have both declined, and many people have pointed the finger at James, and the argument of football dominance has been very loud for a while. Before the formation of the Big Three, James could be said to be the first person in the league. Wade is the top five in the league, and although Bosh counts jù is 24 plus 11, he is suspected of brushing jù in the Raptors, the top ten is very hanging, and the top 20 is no problem.
Although the Heat lost in the first year, it was generally successful, but unfortunately they met Zhou Xuan in the Eastern Conference Finals, which had something to do with the team's eldest brother or Wade at that time, and their defense of Zhou Xuan was unsuccessful.
In the second year, Wade was plagued by age injuries, his speed weakened, and his lethality was significantly weakened, but there were also 20+5+5, and the team established James' core, James gained weight, and increased back play, and Bosh was almost 17+8. James showed his importance, but unfortunately in the playoffs Bosh was injured and the Heat lost again.
In the third year, James further increased his back play, and his breakthrough speed declined. Wade's breakthrough efficiency has weakened due to injuries and age, and he has also increased off-ball attacks, which can be regarded as a sacrifice for the team. The proportion of Bos shots has increased significantly, and he even began to shoot three-pointers, which is to give James the need to play back to open up space, and James to play hand-to-hand combat on the inside's back is also a sacrifice for the team without an inside. The other role players revolve around James' core. Establishing him as the core is the need to maximize the interests of the Heat team. Ball tyrant? Could it be that the Heat management coach doesn't understand the ball? It's a pity that the Heat role players are not as strong as the Knicks and the Nets, and James is difficult to support alone.
Now James still maintains a super aggressiveness, and his efficiency is among the best in the league. It can be said that compared to his personal ability, he is not inferior to Durant, and his comprehensive offense and defense are stronger than Zhou Xuan, but the Knicks lineup is too strong. James is an MVP-caliber player.
Cowan believes that if James jumps out of his contract in the summer, the Heat must do their best to keep him, build a lineup with James as the core, and win the championship sooner or later.
Cowan is very satisfied with this article, he fantasizes about the rise of the Heat next season after writing it, maybe there is a chance this season, Wade plays well in the playoffs, don't drag James back.
He didn't know what James was fighting the Knicks so hard and hitting until his leg cramped. Who is he looking at with such a hard-working watch? In the summer, James was going to slap him hard until his face was swollen......
On the 12th, the Knicks defeated the Raptors.
The Raptors didn't mess up this season, but tried to get a good place in the playoffs and made a mid-term trade. The Raptors work very hard in every game, but unfortunately their strength is worse than that of the Knicks.
The person who broke out this time was Bosh. Zhou Xuan sent assists to him continuously, helping him misplace to shoot in the face of Lowry, who is 180CM tall, and Bosh cut empty, and the ball will be delivered to his hand. He had a double-double of 41 points and 13 rebounds, and was only three points away from his career-high points. Zhou Xuan scored 15 points and 23 assists in 42 minutes.
On the 14th, the Knicks defeated the Nets with an incomplete lineup.
The Nets were unlucky, Livingston was on the injury list, and Deron Williams was a point guard available, and this season people rated Delon very lowly, feeling that he was not even as good as Livingston in terms of control rhythm. The Nets can't open up the offense, there are not many tactics, and they still rely on Anthony and Pierce to play singles, so they can't go far.
On the 16th, the Knicks' home opponent was the Raptors again, and this time the Raptors' defensive method was to strictly guard against role players.
Zhou Xuan singled out Stadamier after blocking and dismantling, made a one-step stop-and-go jump shot, broke through after misalignment, and scored 31 points in the half, leading the team to a big lead. He finished with 44 points and seven assists.
The Raptors coach lamented that it was not possible to let Zhou Xuan play alone. He had a very high hit percentage, 57. 4% shooting, 43. He shot 9 percent from three-point range and 90 percent from the free-throw line. 3% is second in the league. The only one who made more than 100 free throws and shot more than his percentage was Pelicans' Brian Roberts.
In the final battle against the Bulls, Zhou Xuan, Bosh and Jefferson were all suspended. Martin, Murray, and Aldridge, who didn't play much throughout the season, played for a long time.
Bulls coach Thibodeau plays the playoffs no matter what he preserves, or plays as usual. He's going to have a good record, and the Bulls have a really good record this year, with a 46-35 record, which is very good when Rose was seriously injured, sent away Lore Deng in the middle of the game, and was plagued by injuries.
The Knicks, who are all off the bench, are not so easy to deal with. Parsons became the centerpiece of the team, Hellam Porter secured the basket defense, and Anderson withdrew inside. Augustin and Murray grabbed the points.
In the bench lineup, Xavier Henry also played very actively, Murray played as a point guard, and the Knicks ran wildly and shot when they had the opportunity. The essence of running and bombing is to punch and kill the master. Relying on Henry and Murray are three-pointers, the Knicks unexpectedly led by 11 points at halftime.
Thibodeau, who felt very shameless, let the main team continue to play in the second half. There are not many people in the Bulls rotation, and he doesn't want to make substitutions, and the paranoia of employing people is the main culprit for the frequent injuries of the Bulls players.
Boozer scored 12 points in the third quarter, and Anderson couldn't defend him one-on-one. Boozer's form has slipped this season, averaging 13 per game. 7 points 8. 3 rebounds, close to a double-double. Considering he only plays 28 minutes per game, it's very efficient. At 36 minutes, Jù is definitely still a double-double.
Augustin led the Knicks to another double-digit advantage in the final quarter. In the second half, Douglas found his touch and hit two three-pointers, and Taki Gibson also hit the interior very hard, grabbing two frontcourt rebounds and converting them into points, and the Bulls caught up again.
Last 7. In 3 seconds, the Knicks had an offensive opportunity to grasp the ball, Anderson blocked and picked up the ball on the periphery, he shot a little hurriedly, not only did not score but also left 1 for the Bulls. 6 seconds of attack time.
After that, Jimmy Butler took the ball and hit a two-point shot. The Knicks ended the regular season with a home loss and a 77-5 record.
The fans felt it was great
