Chapter 371: The Most Important Day of the Regular Season
"Nickname Outside! Lakers lost to Phoenix Suns at the Big West Forum Arena! The record slipped to the same level as the Chicago Bulls! "On the seaside streets of Santa Monica, Los Angeles, newsboys are waving newspapers and shouting loudly.
"April 13th! The Lakers host the Jazz again! At the same time, the Chicago Bulls face the Detroit Pistons! ”
"OK Combo vs. Utah Second Old! Jordan vs. Hill! It's a confrontation between the best teams in the league! The first in the west, the second in the west, the first in the east, and the third in the east all appeared together! Half of the league's top 10 superstars will be on the scene! ”
"The Lakers and Bulls compete for seventy wins! Kobe Bryant and Jordan face off in the air! This is sure to be the day that MLB will go down in history, and the most exciting day of the regular season has to be. ”
"Hey! Boy, bring me one. A middle-aged man with his back combed his hair listened to the shouting, his heart was itching, he didn't love basketball so much, and he couldn't help but immerse himself in the basketball atmosphere of Los Angeles.
The day's games also include the Suns vs. Warriors, the SuperSonics vs. Houston and the Nets vs. Bucks. There is no shortage of the best teams in the league, but they are all supporting characters! The protagonist on April 13 will only be the team with 70 wins! If 70 wins are won at the same time, then the day will be immortal. Next to him, a black man of medium height, was also about to get a newspaper.
"Las Vegas latest odds show! Lakers win 1 to 1.7! Bulls win 1 to 1.3! The Lakers and Bulls win at the same time at 1 to 2.1! Lakers and Bulls double defeat 1 to 4.9! Franklin, who do you think should be bought? The white man was very familiar with the black man, rubbed his fingers and asked, he was having a gambling addiction and wanted to get a ticket.
"Mike, it's all over without brains! Kobe and Michael will take care of everything for us! Franklin was full of confidence, and the gold chain on his chest was the money he had won from the previous crazy crushing of the Lakers
"Your Kobe Bryant made you lose 5,000 US dollars two days ago!" Mike was a little unimpressed, and he decided to go for the most expensive one, which was a double loss for the Lakers and Bulls.
"Damn, you're giving money to the casino." Xiaofu pursed his lips, thinking that Mike was really brainy, as if his wife and yoga instructor had cuckolded him, and Mike was a little abnormal.
"Farke, I have a point!" The hard-mouthed middle-aged man is always so unreasonable.
This scene is not only happening in Los Angeles, but everywhere in the United States, as long as there is basketball, it is inseparable from these games on April 13.
Who will win?
Will there be a team that will take the lead with 70 wins?
Or will the Bulls and Lakers win 70 together and become an indelible myth in history?
Or is it a double loss, the two teams are exhausted in pursuit of regular season records, and they no longer have the fitness and form to beat strong opponents. After all, the Jazz and Pistons are the favorites to win the championship this season, and Malone and Hill are the first in the league in terms of big and small forwards!
Kobe Bryant and Jordan are also two of the strongest defenders in the league!
The strongest striker VS the strongest defender!
The strongest team will face off in the air!
70 wins of the legendary journey!
On April 13th, there were too many gimmicks. Tickets to the Great Western Forum are hard to come by, and Chicago is no different.
Before the start of the game, the experts who supported the different teams had already made a splash in the media, while the players were not interviewed, they were all concentrating on preparing for the game.
"The End of the Lakers - Starting with Bad Projection"
The Lakers, the new team, have played a lot of impressive games this season, and many of them have forced out victories with performances and plays that exceeded everyone's expectations. The Lakers' young players have been very impressive, with a few undrafted picks becoming their main rotation, and a large number of rookies that have left the league with very little focus on the Lakers at the beginning, which is a world away from last year's championship winners, the Chicago Bulls.
After Jordan won three consecutive championships, for the Bulls, building a team lineup system in order to deal with the Bulls is already something that most playoff-level teams will do. The Bulls' triangular offense is all about those things, and Phil Jackson's tactical philosophy is well known. All the players are proud of the victory over Michael Jordan, and these factors make every game tough for the Bulls.
The Lakers are completely different, Harris uses a set or even several new tactical systems, disrupting the vision of most team coaches, unfamiliar with the Lakers lineup, unfamiliar with the Lakers' tactics. These unfamiliarities have allowed the Lakers to reap unexpected surprises in their games. We have to admit that the Silver Fox Del Harris has single-handedly propelled the Lakers into one of the best teams of the season, and they have dominated the league for most of the season, and only the Chicago Bulls are a championship team that can threaten them.
We also have to recognize one thing, which is that these factors aside, how high is the true level of the Lakers? The Suns' game gave us an answer, the hard power of the Lakers, far less intimidating than their record seems.
When Kobe and Eddie Jones couldn't find their touch, the Lakers' outside couldn't respond when O'Neal was caught on the inside. The Lakers aren't that capable of this team, and poor shooting will make their offensive space disappear. And at the end of the season, after a long season with no respite, can these rookies of the Lakers continue to maintain their hot hand?
Projection can never win a championship, and a team that relies so heavily on jump shots may be disappointed by their performance in the playoffs.
Piston Doom? 》
The Detroit Pistons, who have long dominated the second place in the East this season, once let everyone see the rise of a new Pistons dynasty. And as the season entered April, when all the team coaches understood that as long as they targeted Grant Hill and made Hill uncomfortable, the Pistons' offense collapsed 100 percent, and the team went into a rout.
The Pistons have been snatched second place in the East by the Miami Heat, and they were in a slump in March and April. Grant Hill was targeted in every way, and up and down the team, there was never a single player who could stand up and give Hill enough support.
Pistons head coach Collins took Jordan to his first peak, and everyone expected Hill to be the next Michael, the next legend. Prior to March, Hill had lived up to expectations, playing even better when he wasn't being targeted, even better than Michael when he was younger, and his triple-double was like a probe and he couldn't find anyone in the league to defend.
However, Hill's performance when he was targeted was so poor that he chose to use the pass to evade his responsibility. The other players of the Pistons were unable to score effectively and efficiently after receiving the ball, and the result was that the Pistons lost back-to-back games, and Hill's performance and statistics were very poor.
Hill may have the strength of a young Michael or Kobe, but he doesn't have the heart of a strong man, and this may be the end of the Pistons.
