"How did you get the team to this level?" With less than three minutes to go, D'Antoni put the tactical board on the bench, simply straightened his suit, and then sat there quietly until the game was over.

"That's a question that actually bothers me as well. Maybe it's reasonable to turn the contradictions within the team into strength? It's hard to say. I didn't pay too much attention to that. On the contrary, I was surprised that we were able to enter the playoffs in such a ranking. I thought we were still trying to make the playoffs in the end~"

At the end of the game, Jafaroni seemed to think of his former boss, and walked in the direction of the opposing team before he could look at the other team.

"Your Grizzlies performance today is still meaningful to us. At least it won't make my team go into the playoffs too confidently. Otherwise, we might be eliminated if we don't play well."

When D'Antoni knew that there was no chance of winning this game, he sighed on the sidelines. This result was subsequently accepted. Originally, one season, including him, Suns head coach D'Antoni felt that although the Memphis team played such a result, although the ranking was not low, they would definitely still have some loopholes in it!

In other words, it will take some work to win them, but it will not be difficult. But looking at it now, I'm afraid the whole team is going to be a team, and the Grizzlies are impressed today. Although the players on Phoenix's side were unwilling and annoyed after the game, some Suns players have begun to have a little fear of the Grizzlies team!

In the first half, when the difference was stretched to 24 points, under their noses, this team finally caught up and beat them! What's going on? Does their team owe money to the Grizzlies?

Originally, the Grizzlies players thought that they would be in a bad mood after playing against the Suns. Now, all of them are very spiritual~ especially confident~ What kind of existence is the current Suns?! They still won against the Phoenix Suns despite the fact that the two teams were clearly serious about playing!

Fork waist ~ Jafaroni also said that after this game, the team will enter the preparation stage, and the main force of the team will basically not play. And the team also wants to drop one spot from 4th in the West to 5th in the West, and then if the Lakers can lose one game in these games, the Grizzlies are expected to stagger with the Lakers.

The Lakers now feel tighter when they look at the lineup...... If they meet in the next round, that's another story. But Jafaroni wants to lead the Grizzlies to the first round of the playoffs. In this way, he has played quite well this season!

In the first season after becoming an assistant coach to head coach, he led the team to the playoffs and advanced to the second round~ such a result, even if he is not with the Grizzlies in the future, it will be better to find a home~

"I guess we're careless. You may not be playing to your full strength...... But the Grizzlies played well today. We look forward to meeting them in the playoffs......"

Faced with the reporter's question, D'Antoni answered a little perfunctorily. The whole team was not in a good mood, and it didn't take long for the press conference to end. Nash didn't speak for the entire conference, and reporters didn't ask. It was always the manager who was there to answer the questions of the journalists.

107：101！ The next time the Grizzlies start preparing for the playoffs!

......

"What can I be happy about? It's just a game. It's not the last game of the Finals," Kobe Bryant said to reporters after taking the towel handed over by the Lakers staff, wiping the sweat from his face.

This game was the final game of the regular season for the Lakers. They were already more than 30 points apart from the SuperSonics in the third quarter...... Kobe Bryant then followed until the end of the game.

Later on, the SuperSonics had completely given up. In the end, the Lakers won the game 97-89. It's relatively light to the other party.

"Now there is almost overwhelming talk on the Internet that the Grizzlies could be a dark horse in this year's playoffs! What do you think about this? ”

"Hmph...... His brother is still in our hands~"

"Hahaha~ Kobe, you are so humorous~ Yes~ Now that the dust has settled~ We will have eyes soon. I can see my brother and brother competing on the same stage, and several players from the Grizzlies are about to meet their old club, the Los Angeles Lakers~ How do you probably go about winning against the Grizzlies? I guess the Memphis Grizzlies will learn a lot in this round~"

"Nope. It's not entirely right for you to say that~ Mark Gasol's strength is not bad, and they still have players like Miller and Gay in their team. Brown and Fisher are also excellent, although Mime is not as good as our Odom, but, who knows the final result~ right? We'll see what happens in the playoffs."

Bryant didn't feel tired at all after playing a game today. When answering reporters, people feel a little uncomfortable.

......

"The smell of the perfume has changed this time, Zhou Yang, who did you say this time...... What do you ask? Linda saw that Zhou Yang on the opposite side didn't answer immediately, and she immediately raised her leg with a kick!

"What...... Who? Zhou Yang watched the TV while eating, and Kobe Bryant was talking to reporters there, and he felt a chill behind him...... The Lakers seem to be about the same as the Suns, and they are more hostile to the Grizzlies......

At the beginning of the regular season, he played double overtime with the Lakers, and the final kill was still cast by Zhou Yang...... The reporter may have been excited, or a little nervous by Kobe's sneer from time to time, and when they had already returned to the car, they found that they hadn't asked Kobe Bryant what he thought of Zhou Yang's player this season......

What is strange is that Kobe Bryant chatted with the reporter for a long time, but he didn't mention Zhou Yang even once! Zhou Yang, who has been with Kobe Bryant as a teammate for two seasons, feels that the Lakers are going to be ruthless at this time......

The West was very competitive at the time! The Hornets, who are behind the Lakers, only need to fight hard to get to 5th place in the West. But the last few games of the Lakers ended in a complete victory! In this way, the Lakers surpassed the Grizzlies in the number of wins to shoot the fourth in the West, and the Grizzlies ended 0-3 because the main team did not play much in the next three games.

As a result, they just swapped places with the Lakers...... The 4th and 5th places in the West switched positions and ended up meeting in the first round......

The Grizzlies thought they would play the first round against the Hornets if they could. Although the Hornets are also strong this season, they are still psychologically acceptable compared to the Lakers. But in the end, I couldn't avoid it......

"yes, who?" Linda had already put the spoon down by this time. Waiting for Zhou Yang to confess and be lenient.

"You're not by my side now~" A few days ago, Mengmeng brought her college classmates over~ The two of them are going to shop around here. At first, Mengmeng told her in the mobile phone that there is a good limited edition lipstick~

Her classmates checked the Internet and found that they couldn't buy it anywhere else. Also, if you want to have fun in Memphis, you can come over and stay with Mengmeng at Zhou Yang's residence for a few days...... When her classmate left, she also asked for Zhou Yang's signature~

"Don't digress the conversation"

"I've been short of butter here lately, Linda, you can buy it when you go to the supermarket tomorrow"

......

If the playoffs are against the Hornets, the players are quite looking forward to it~ but with the Lakers...... Some Grizzlies players are already a little desperate. Although there is no O'Neal in the Lakers, their team's big center is the Grizzlies' brother at center......

Mime and Zhou Yang were previously Odom's substitutes...... No matter how you compare, it feels like the Lakers are more than one level better than their Grizzlies in terms of lineup......

At the end of the regular season, the rankings were finalized. The Eastern team's standings this season are the Celtics, Magic, Cavaliers, Wizards, Pistons, Raptors, Heat, 76ers! The Pistons can be said to be very ferocious in the following games!

Among the teams in the East, the Green Shirts are rightfully at the top of the Eastern Conference! And the Magic have become a new powerhouse in the East! Although the Heat have a bad record, the teams they have played well know that the Heat this season is really difficult to deal with!

The Western side is ranked by the Spurs, Suns, Mavericks, Lakers, Grizzlies, Hornets, Nuggets and Rockets!

This season's playoffs are highly anticipated by fans! It's basically a Mars collision with the Earth! Haven't lost a game between the Rockets and Spurs in the regular season! And the power of the Nuggets twin guns is famous in the West!

The duel between Nash, the son of the wind, and Iverson, the answer, is also very eye-catching! And this year's rising Hornets and the very strong Dallas Mavericks game, I really don't know how far the two teams can play!

And the Grizzlies and Lakers, the voice on the Internet is starting to change a little now. From the initial belief that the Grizzlies can win the Lakers, it was finally divided into two voices, one is that the Lakers are not as strong as before this season.

If it weren't for Kobe Bryant's long hours of playing every game in the later period, the Lakers might have ranked 7th or 8th. The Grizzlies are the ones who have reached this position with their strength!

But fans who stand on the Lakers' side don't think so. They believe that although the Lakers have not cooperated as well on the court this season, they have not been as good as before. But after all, they have been the favorites to win the championship all these years!

I don't know how much more playoff experience is going out than their Grizzlies! The team now has former Heat star Odom, former Grizzlies star center Pau Gasol, and superstar Kobe Bryant! How can the Grizzlies resist such a big three?

Hehe, did the Grizzlies send Guy, Mark and Zhou Yang to compare with the Lakers? Laugh, leopard laugh!

By this time, some of the Grizzlies players were already planning activities for the holidays...... For example, where to play after being eliminated in the first round, to go to someone's house to have a party, or something. It was even talked about in the dressing room.

Fisher also joined in to discuss with them...... It's just that now they don't dare to talk about it in front of the manager.

......

"It's all about participation...... Maybe we won't be able to make it through the first round. But at least we'll have a little more playoff experience......" Jafaroni said and felt the atmosphere in the team was even more depressing......

"In the previous games, let's see how far the Lakers can play. Later, we'll look into whether there is any place where they can break through......"

The first playoff game is at Staples Arena! The scene was almost full! The fans were very enthusiastic! The Grizzlies, who entered the playoffs in their first season after regrouping, are inevitably a little nervous now.

Especially Lowry...... He's going to face Kobe Bryant tonight!! Peak Kobe Bryant and he are in the same position...... Lowry in this game just wants to be a quiet point guard. Just pass the ball or something. Perhaps this is the day he wants to be a point guard the most this season......

The fans at the scene seemed to be going to eat them! The sign that interfered with their grizzly bear's vision was rehearsed not far away...... When they Grizzlies are going to attack, when they make free throws, the audience will use various signs to cobble together patterns to interfere with them......

During the warm-up, the players on the Lakers' side didn't look at the Grizzlies. Kobe Bryant, Big Gasol, they communicate with each other. They have already put all their energy into this game by this time.

It didn't take long for players from both sides to get on the field. The starting lineup of the Lakers is Pau Gasol, Odom, Kobe, Farmar and Evans. On the Grizzlies' side, they are Mark, Meme, Zhou Yang, Miller and Lowry.

"What's going on?" After Zhou Yang looked at the position, he thought to himself after finding that it was Kobe Bryant who was opposite him...... I never expected that it would be Kobe Bryant who defended himself. Are they in the wrong place?

When Gasol got the ball and passed the ball to Kobe Bryant, Lowry finally let his heart drop when he saw Marr coming over to defend him. Famar is okay, at least the defender opposite him is quite young. I can attack all kinds of things again~

But Zhou Yang had no psychological defense at all...... Now this season...... Don't mess with Kobe, Iverson and Wade. Once they get angry, they will directly defend you in a "death entanglement" style, and only you know how sour it is......

In front of Zhou Yang, Kobe Bryant scored a very serious jump shot! Zhou Yang felt that he was already very far ahead, but the ball was still hollow hit!

Lowry dribbled the ball to the front court and was cut off by Famar after a few dribbles! Evans picked up the basketball on the other side and went straight to the right spot and hit a jumper! Jafaroni immediately signaled for a timeout!

The game began to be opened by the Lakers, and it was returned! The Lakers, who lost both games to the Grizzlies in the regular season, seemed to have been waiting for this moment for a long time.

They first came to a consensus when they were studying grizzly bears. That's the Grizzlies' main defensive players, Zhou Yang and Gay! As long as they're on the field, just guard them tightly!

Before the game, when Kobe offered to defend against Zhou Yang, Mike immediately agreed...... Mike, the coach who came to the Lakers this season, didn't know how to play for a while after getting such a good hand~

The Lakers made him feel that even if he did a casual tactic, the players could play very well in the game! The players have a strong ability to adjust themselves on the field!

This should be attributed to the style that the former Zen master brought to the team. But then Brown realized that it didn't always work. The current Lakers are still different from the past. Therefore, some preparations have been made in terms of tactical arrangements.

Kobe Bryant was still staring at Zhou Yang when the game was suspended, and it took more than 5 seconds to take it back! And Zhou Yang also saw and stared at Kobe Bryant for a few seconds before walking back with his teammates.
