"It's over, the regular season is over." Xiaoyu watched Harris replace all the starters, and directly let the players who have barely played this season come to the court to play the final half of the game against the Trail Blazers, and he clearly understood that the first regular season of Xiaoyu's rookie career was over.

Long, from November '96 to April 19, 82 games in almost 6 months. Traveling back and forth and leaving countless footprints in the United States and even Toronto, these experiences are not something that ordinary people can enjoy. The little fish lost count of the number of times he fell asleep on a flight, and he couldn't remember how many times he was woken up by a roar in his sleep. Insulted at home, cheered at home. Victory after victory, defeat after defeat, these are all stories that will be remembered in our hearts.

"Far from over, it's just another beginning." Campbell patted Fisher on the back, the regular season was nothing more than a show. And the real war, the playoffs are the stage for men.

The Lakers lost 78-92 in the game with the Kings on April 17, swallowing the eleventh defeat of the season, this game Kobe and O'Neal are not highly motivated, as experienced players in the playoffs, Kobe and O'Neal both know that it is time to adjust their state, the championship is the highest pursuit, not the pursuit from 70 wins to 72 wins, 72 wins The team already has one, if there is a chance to win 73 wins, then the Lakers may try their best to try to break the Bulls record, The temptation of 73 wins is great, and while it's not as good as a championship, it's also more appealing than an MVP.

And the current situation is that even if you try your best, you can only draw one record, which is not much different from 70 wins or 71 wins. Kobe Bryant's physical load has reached the extreme, and the opponents are all trying to give the Lakers a good look. The Lakers don't mind winning if their opponents don't play well, but their opponents in the last two games are explosive.

Richmond blasted 41 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals in this game, and he directly defeated Eddie Jones, and then broke Bowen's defense again. Although this has something to do with the Lakers' overall decline in defensive motivation.

Bryant had 17 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists. O'Neal had an economic double-double with 21 points and 12 rebounds. The two are not very aggressive on the Kings' home court, and they are also related to Harris's rotation. Harris kept Kobe Bryant and Shaq within 25 minutes of playing time in this game, although there was no open rotation, but the purpose of protecting the players and adjusting the state is self-evident.

At the same time, the Bulls are also sinking in Miami.

Jordan reverted to his regular triangle offense in this game, and after chatting with Phil Jackson, he patiently integrated into the team's offense. However, in this game, the Bulls' teammates may not have the ball because of how long the game is, which makes them a little uncomfortable.

And the Heat, under the coaching of Pat Riley, has become the second best team in the East after the Bulls. Mourning, a Defensive Player of the Year nominee, was on the inside, Tim Hardaway was on the needle, and Mashburn cut away from the ball. Such a tactical system has the flavor of the poor man's version of SHOWTIME.

Pat Riley saw Jordan return to the triangle offense, and his heart was actually mixed, with the recent Jordan, the Heat really has no one to be on top. As long as he wants, it's much easier to get 60+ on the Heat's head than it is to take 60+ on Hill and Dumas.

The worry is that the Bulls, who are integrated into the triangle offense, have absolutely higher potential than Jordan alone, after all, Jordan's state has ups and downs, and a team can always have people in good shape and poor condition, as long as Phil Jackson can adjust the team's rotation, then the team's overall state will not change much. Jordan's solo team may have a ceiling of 100 points, but the floor limit is only 80 points. The Bulls, who are integrated into the triangle offense, have a ceiling of 98 and a lower limit of 90 points. Overall, the Heat will face a more stable, less up-and-down team in the playoffs, and if things go wrong, Jordan's takeover will be the team's insurance.

Although the Bulls players were not in good shape in this game and did not win the game, it still made the gray hairs on the forehead of the god operator a few more.

In this way, the Lakers and Bulls both have a record of 70 wins and 11 losses, and the final game has become the decisive part of the season.

The Lakers' final game came to Portland against the Trail Blazers, who are fifth in the West.

Trail Blazers owner Paul Allen personally attended the scene to supervise the battle.

And the players of the Trail Blazers also seem to have played chicken blood, Isaiah Ryder, Sabonis, and Roar Tianzun, three different ages, and players of the old, middle and young generations, all played well in this game, cutting 20+.

Harris still implemented a rest policy, Kobe Bryant and Shaq's playing time was controlled within 20 minutes this time, and Harris directly replaced all the regular rotation players after the score difference was reduced to 15 points, allowing the second team to come off the bench with the third team to come off the bench.

The final game ended with the Lakers 89:112 Trail Blazers.

Paul Allen also made a special trip to Kobe Bryant after the game to chat a few words, and Kobe still admires the founder of Microsoft. Bryant laughed and said he would buy Microsoft stock when he had the money. And Paul Allen called it the right decision.

The Lakers' regular season journey is over, and they are in first place in the West with a 70-12 record, the best record of the team, and also the second honor of the league's regular season.

That's right, in the last game, the Bulls won their 71st game at Madison Square Garden in New York, completing the comeback against the Lakers.

The Bulls faced Ewing, who came to defend their home glory, and once fell into a disadvantage.

Ewing risked his life to stop Jordan from winning 71 in this game, and the three-step rabbit jump trick was used continuously, which was to crush Luke Longley with a combination of body and technology. Joining forces with Oakley to dominate the box puts Rodman at a disadvantage. After all, in terms of body weight alone, Rodman and Oakley Ewing have a difference in weight class.

Pippen held up the situation in this game, and as the strongest players under the superstar, Pippen and Ewing were a little at odds. In the 1994 playoffs, Pippen once dunked Ewing and stepped over his head. Then in the next game, he stepped over Ewing after a scrum. Ewing, of course, couldn't stand this shame, and educated Pippen with an iron fist, and then let the Bulls without Jordan swallow 3:4 and be eliminated, which also made the two infected with a very big grudge.

Ewing's performance also stimulated Pippen's fighting spirit, and he integrated offense and defense throughout the game, and rebounded after consecutive steals to maintain the situation.

In the final fourth quarter, the Bulls still trailed by seven points.

And Jordan started his own show.

He scored 17 points in the first quarter and scored a throw-up in front of Ewing in the final moments.

Lore Match! Kill the Lakers too!

With 71 wins and 11 losses, the Bulls created the second record in the history of the regular season, and also completed the overtake of the Lakers and won the home court advantage in the Finals.

Michael Jordan's performance throughout the season is worthy of being the first in the league, even if there are few players in history can match it, this season is as legendary as last season, but the media that is used to Jordan's magical performance will not give him the MVP award anymore.
