In the last nine games of April, the Bobcats didn't have much idea, so Qiao Hai rotated most of the games.

Only two games were played by the Bobcats in earnest.

One is to play the Lakers at home, and Qiao Hai wants to kill the old master twice, so in this game, he is serious.

But at the same time, before the game, Qiao Hai also received a call from Kobe, who said on the phone: "Tell Andre Iguodala, 50 points!" ”

Qiao Hai smiled, he knew what Kobe Bryant meant.

The last time the two teams met was on Christmas, and in the Christmas game, Andre Iguodala managed to limit Kobe, who scored just 20 points on 9-of-26 shooting in the game.

Therefore, Kobe Bryant's words to Joe Hai to Iguodala are actually ruthless, which means that in the next game, he will score 50 points in front of Andre Iguodala.

Qiao Hai met Kobe's request and directly relayed this sentence to Iguodala, because it could inspire Iguodala's fighting spirit.

But after the game started, Kobe Bryant still broke out.

The determined Kobe Bryant could not be stopped, and in this game, he directly cut a 48 points, and was only 2 points short of being able to score 50 points.

The final score was 109-101, and the Lakers also lost by 8 points in the end.

In the post-game interview, Andre Iguodala mentioned the pre-game hiccup, saying: "Kobe Bryant said he was going to score 50 points above my head, but he couldn't do that, he only scored 48 points, and I made it!" ”

But obviously, Kobe, who "only" scored 48 points, was not only not ridiculed and criticized for this, but was blown up, because although Kobe Bryant failed to score 50 points, his 48 points were not much worse than 50 points.

……

In addition to the game against the Lakers, Qiao Hai's serious game was also a home game against the Grizzlies, for the same reason, he wanted to kill the old master twice.

In this game, Qiao Hai didn't play falsely, the defensive end changed the defense infinitely, ignoring O'Neal's point, they let O'Neal cut 37 points, 11 rebounds and 3 blocks, but the Bobcats limited Maddie through infinite defensive changes, and Maddie in this game finally only got a 22 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists, and the performance was completely lower than usual.

The Bobcats' main winning point was the offense, and they attacked hard, taking the lead in the first quarter, expanding the lead in the second quarter, and basically ending the suspense of the game in the third quarter.

In the end, in the final game, the Bobcats won 117-102, defeating the Grizzlies, and also completing the season double against the Grizzlies!

……

In the last nine games of April, the Bobcats lost just one game to the Timberwolves.

In the end, the Bobcats had a 66-16 regular season record and finished first in the East.

The Pistons, who are ranked second in the East, ended up with 63 wins and 19 losses, and their record is equally good, so to speak, since Michael Jordan's retirement, the league has been strong in the West and weak in the East, but suddenly there are two teams with 60+ wins this season.

But after all, the Pistons' record is still 3 wins behind the Bobcats, and they can only be relegated to second place.

The third place in the East should be the Cavaliers with a 52-30 record, but because they are in the middle of the East with the Pistons, and the team that wins the division must be ranked third in the East and West, the Cavaliers are squeezed into fourth place, and the real third place in the East is the Nets, who have a 49-33 record, because they are the top in the Atlantic region.

Fourth, of course, is the Cavaliers led by LeBron James, who have a 50-32 record.

The Magic are fifth in the East, with a 50-32 record, and they have a better record than the Nets, but they finish fifth for the same reason, because they are in the same division as the Bobcats.

In terms of records, the top two teams in the East belong to the same bracket, followed by the third to fifth teams belong to the first bracket.

From sixth to eighth, it is one notch worse than the top five.

Sixth in the East is the 42-40 Raptors, the Raptors had a good record at the beginning of the season, and have been ranked in the top four in the East, but in the second half of the season because of a wave of injuries, they fell out again, and finally could only finish sixth in the East.

The seventh and eighth in the East are the Pacers and the Wizards, who have the same record of 41-41, because the Wizards have a superior record against each other, so, in the end, the Wizards are seventh and the Pacers are eighth.

The first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs is also announced, and the Bobcats, who are the No. 1 players in the East, will take on the Pacers, who have a chance to avenge last year's playoffs.

The Pistons will face the Wizards, the Nets will face the Raptors, and the Cavaliers will face the Magic.

……

In the West, the first place in the West was the Rockets, who ended up with a 68-14 record.

The Lakers are second at 54-28 and the Grizzlies are third at 53-29, but the Spurs, who are 60-22, have a better record than these two teams, but are in fourth place due to divisional reasons.

The Suns, who are in the same district as the Lakers, are fifth with 53 wins and 29 losses, and the Mavericks, who are in the same district as the Rockets, are sixth with a 50-32 record.

Seventh is the 46-36 Clippers and eighth is the 44-38 Nuggets.

So in the end, the matchup in the first round of the playoffs in the West is, the Rockets vs. the Nuggets, the Lakers vs. the Clippers, the Grizzlies vs. the Mavericks, and the Spurs vs. the Suns!

……

The playoffs were released, and the Bobcats held a coaching staff meeting to summarize the regular season and discuss how to play this playoffs.

In the regular season this past season, the Bobcats ranked first or second in the league in all offensive statistics, and only some of them were lower than the Suns, who completely ignored defense and only attacked.

The most critical statistic, the average score per game in the regular season, the Bobcats' average scoring data is 110.2 points per game, and even surpasses the Suns, who average 108.4 points per game.

In terms of personal data, Michael Reed is the Bobcats' leading scorer, averaging 23.1 points per game this season, along with 4.3 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.2 steals.

Chris Paul is the main reason why the Bobcats have made great progress this season, as the team's tactical core and main control, he can average 17.5 points, 4.4 rebounds, 8.9 assists and 2.0 steals per game this season, basically locking up the rookie of the season.

The Bobcats' No. 3 scorer is Andre Iguodala, who is averaging 14.7 points, 5.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.6 steals per game this season.

Josh Smith is fourth in points per game, averaging 12.3 points, 8.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.4 steals and 2.6 blocks per game this season.

Basically, Josh Smith is equivalent to another version of Dream Chaser, an enhanced version of running and jumping, and a weakened version of organizational strategy.

Pseudo-starting center Kendrick Perkins finally averaged 5.7 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game, the data was average, but Perkins didn't play much, and in the limited playing time, Perkins perfectly completed the task assigned by Qiao Hai.

The top scorer off the bench is Gerard Wallace, who is averaging 11.2 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 2.2 steals and 1.7 blocks per game this season, and Gerard Wallace is also a strong contender for the Sixth Man of the Season.

In addition to him, the Bobcats bench scorers are Mo Williams and Danny Granger, who average about 9 points per game, and Jared Jack, Michael Petrus and Reevra Frenz also average about 3 to 5 points per game.

Overall, the Bobcats are a team that is all soldiers, and their scores are scattered, but through scattered scoring, they play an offense that is almost the best in the league!
