Chapter 121

The Bucks won all of their remaining four games in February, winning eight straight games while maintaining the top spot in the league.

At this time, the Bucks' record is 46-14, with a winning rate of 76.67%, which is not particularly high, but it still sits at the top of the league now, and the closest to the Bucks' record in the entire league is the Wizards' 44-16 and the Cavaliers' 43-17.

This year's league games seem to be particularly difficult to play, and the west side can't grab much more than the east.

The Clippers, the Trail Blazers and the Kings are fighting for the top spot in the West, with the Clippers topping the West with a 43-17 record, while the Kings led by Harden and Cousins took advantage of the Trail Blazers' trade for Durant to surpass each other and climb to second place in the West.

There isn't a single team in the league that, if anything, is the only Bucks with a record of more than 75 percent.

The media likened this phenomenon to the blooming of a hundred flowers.

Compared to the 13-14 season, the Wizards' terrifying 73 wins, with an 89% win rate, topped the league, and in the 14-15 season, the Wizards and Cavaliers won more than 60 games in the whole season.

Now this 15-16 season is obviously much more exciting, no team can be called invincible, and every game is full of suspense.

Spectators can speculate on who will be the winner, winning all the way to the finals to lift the O'Brien Cup.

But in Wang Xiao's view, the time left for the audience to imagine is only this season.

This season's Bucks are incomplete and have the quality to win the championship, but they have the potential to lose against the Cavaliers' Big Four and the Wizards' Big Three.

But next season, it's a different story.

Twitter Emperor Embiid is about to make his debut, and Antetokounmpo will further evolve, and the Bucks will take over the baton of the invincible Wizards in the 13-14 season and become the new big devil of the league!

There won't be any suspense!

……

As the clock enters March, the regular season comes to an end.

Every team is fighting for a playoff spot or a standing.

Like the Wizards and the Cavaliers, they had a pinnacle matchup in the game in March.

With the current record of these two teams, they will basically finish second and third in the East at the end of the regular season, and it is no surprise that they will meet in the second round.

When the time comes, whoever has the better record on both sides will have home advantage.

The Wizards' record is only one game ahead of the Cavaliers, and as long as the Cavaliers can win against the Wizards in direct competition between the two sides, then they can take advantage of the home court.

The Wizards, on the other hand, must maintain their home court advantage.

In this game, the two sides played in the dark, and they did not give up an inch of land.

James played 44 minutes and played almost the entire game, recording a big triple-double of 36 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists.

On the Wizards' side, Curry was not to be outdone, making 8 of 11 three-pointers and scoring 44 points and 6 assists.

In the end, the Wizards had the last laugh, because not only Curry was on the team, George and Leonard also worked hard, one scored 24 points, and the other scored 31 points.

Just these three people scored 99 points like crazy! The horror of the Wizards' Big Three is vividly displayed.

Such a performance made the entire league shudder, and at the same time, it also felt the horror of the Wizards during the 13-14 season.

In this battle of the century, the Bucks have played the image of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight from beginning to end.

You beat you, anyway, I'm the first in the east, who do you love?

No way, in terms of hard power now, the Bucks even surpass the Wizards and Cavaliers.

On March 23, the Bucks had a game against the Cavaliers on the road.

The game came about a week after the Cavaliers vs. Wizards showdown.

Most people would have thought that it would be a great match no less than the Cavaliers vs. Wizards.

But in fact, from the first quarter of the game, the Bucks have always occupied the initiative on the court.

Cavaliers' starting point guard, Irving, was completely blown out.

Recently, one of the Bucks' favorite tactics is to play point guard in a misplaced position.

The vast majority of point guards in the league are no taller than 1.9m, and Irving is no exception.

Although in the NBA's official registered height, Irving's height data is 1.91 meters, but in fact, Irving's real height is about 1.88 meters at most, and he is still the height of wearing shoes.

This height is very difficult to face Thompson, and when facing the 2.11-meter alphabet brother, it is completely a bully.

During this time, Antetokounmpo has bullied a lot of people in the point guard position, and he is experienced and skilled, and so far, the teams in the league have not coped well.

There are only five positions on the field, and if you change the inside defense letter brother, who will the defender defend?

Unless there are five big guys playing here, there will be a misalignment no matter what.

Originally, the Cavaliers were the most suitable team to play against the Bucks, because James is the top point forward in the league and can play at the point guard position like Antetokounmpo.

But the problem is that Irving is a very key outside scoring point for the Cavaliers, an important part of the team's tactics, and once he is off the court, the Cavaliers' ball-handling offense can only rely on James alone!

The Cavaliers have no choice, even if they know that Irving is a black hole on the defensive end, they can only bite the bullet and let him stay on the court.

The result of this arrangement is that the Cavaliers have always been passive, and they have been steadily pressed by the Bucks, but the good thing is that the Cavaliers' offensive rhythm is still there, and they can continue to score, although the score is behind, they still have a chance to overtake.

Sure enough, after the game reached the second half, the Cavaliers suddenly made a force, and James and Irving took turns to attack and successfully close the difference.

But it was at this time that death struck.

Kevin. Durant, the league's best scorer today, stepped up at this pivotal moment.

A dry shot from outside the three-point line in front of James, a mid-range catch-and-shoot jumper, plus a collision to the basket that caused two fouls and two free throws.

In 2 minutes, Durant scored 7 points in a row, easily reopening the gap with the score that the Cavaliers had managed to catch up.

The Cavaliers tried desperately to stop Durant from scoring, but there was nothing they could do.

……

The final comeback was easily suppressed by Durant, and the Cavaliers had no chance.

In the end, the score of the two teams was fixed at 113:107.

The difference of 6 points is not very large, but it has become an insurmountable barrier in front of the Cavaliers.

The Wizards, who won the game, continued to secure the top spot in the East and even the league, while the Cavaliers, who lost the game, were even more far behind the Wizards, who were second in the East.

The defending champions will have a difficult time defending their title.
