After successfully climbing to the top of the West, the Spurs came to play the Clippers on the road.

The Clippers sent off Griffin, and it was already the rhythm of the rebuild.

However, their record in the second half of the season is not bad, but the competition in the West is a little more intense, and they are almost the first team in the top 10 to drop out of the playoff spot contention.

In the face of the Clippers, whose breath has been dispersed, the Spurs established an absolute advantage in the first quarter.

With the third quarter, the team's lead was 20 points.

** Vicky hurriedly arranged for the main team to rest, even if the main team did not take turns to rest in order to keep the record, he should try to seize the opportunity to rest during the game.

Unexpectedly, Louis Williams on the Clippers' side suddenly exploded, and the score gap narrowed at a very fast speed.

Seeing that it was about to be reversed, the Spurs hurriedly replaced the main team.

If it is an ordinary team, the rhythm has been disrupted at this time, and the main force may be planted at this time.

But after Zhang Xiaotian came on the field, he hit 2+1 strongly, stabilizing the situation for the team.

Next, the Spurs didn't give the Clippers almost any more, and won the game neatly.

The next day away back-to-back Lakers, the Spurs originally wanted to let the players have a good rest, but they didn't expect the Lakers' young men to play very well, the Spurs finally played with all the main force, Zhang Xiaotian against Kuzma, who was full of feelings, and won the game smoothly.

Then the Rockets lost to the Thunder on April 7, and the Spurs finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The cheerful Spurs returned home to a comfortable win over the visiting Trail Blazers.

With the remaining two games, they can finally get their main rotation players to rest in batches.

When facing the underdog Kings at home on April 9, the Spurs let the players who didn't play too much get familiar with the state and easily defeated the opponent by the way.

In the last game against the Pelicans, because the opponent was still desperate, the Spurs were not too entangled, the main rotation players tried to rest as much as possible, and the other players determined their status, and lost this game that did not affect the rankings.

The ranking in the East was relatively fixed, only the Heat improved to sixth in the last game plus the Raptors, who took out the first place in the East, and the Bucks lost the game and fell.

The Eastern Conference rankings become Raptors, Celtics, 76ers, Cavaliers, Pacers, Heat, Bucks, and Wizards.

In the west, the rankings were not determined until the last day due to the close results from fourth to ninth place.

The Trail Blazers finished fourth with a win over the Jazz, who dropped from fifth to seventh.

The Timberwolves beat the Nuggets and moved up from eighth to sixth, and the Nuggets lost a playoff chance.

The Spurs' loss brought the Pelicans, who were originally ranked seventh, to fifth.

The Thunder took the Grizzlies and got their last ticket to the playoffs.

In this way, the ranking in the West becomes Spurs, Lakers, Warriors, Trail Blazers, Pelicans, Timberwolves, Jazz, Thunder.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, the Spurs' ruthlessness in the final period affected not only the Pelicans, but also the Thunder, the Wind and Fire, the Big Three were by the Spurs in a row and almost did not enter the playoffs, and it is estimated that they want to scold their mothers now.

In the style of the Thunder, they are the most unlucky against the Spurs.

However, the top three in the West are actually hard to beat, and the other teams should be the happiest Trail Blazers and Pelicans, who must feel that the other side is a weak chicken.

As the team ranked first in the West, the Spurs can also have an extra day off to watch the other teams perform first.

The first to play in the West are the Rockets and Jazz, and the two teams are somewhat similar in some aspects, the No. 1 position that can be organized and defended, the No. 2 position with strong offensive power, and the No. 3 position that can be defended, and the interior assistance defense is okay.

But the Jazz starters are more average, the bench lacks a strong scoring point, the Rockets have a good sixth man, and the firepower is more focused on the guard line.

As far as the core players are concerned, the Rockets are still stronger.

The gap between the two sides is the normal gap between a strong team in the first tier and a strong team at the playoff level, and the Jazz does not mean that there is no chance, the possibility is very small.

Without him, the firepower of the rocket is too strong.

Both Jazz guards have defensive ability, but Harden is really strong.

In the first quarter, when the Jazz were still in the tentative stage, Harden scored back-to-back points, and the Rockets' three-pointers from the outside helped them quickly establish a double-digit lead.

The Jazz reacted a little late, they were already a stronger team defensively than offensively, and it was okay to say that it was a bit difficult for them to chase points from the beginning.

This is also considered to be tuition, but the only consolation for the Jazz is that Mitchell does not have the jerkiness of a rookie at all, he is the kind of player who is extremely adaptable to the game.

Jazz head coach Schneider was unconvinced, "Obviously, we didn't make good choices in this game, our players were too slow, especially at the beginning of the game, you get the ball and you have to know what to do next, at least have a clear idea. ”

In another game in the West, the Warriors played against the Timberwolves very well.

Curry was sidelined with injury, but the Timberwolves didn't take their chance.

In fact, Curry is not there, and the Timberwolves actually have a chance, but their three strong points, Jimmy Butler, Towns and Wiggins, have not shown the toughness that an All-Star level should have.

Instead, it was the two bench players, Rose and Crawford, who were active on the offensive end.

To be honest, they were even worse on the defensive end, and their head coach Hirobodeau was known as a defensive guru back then, and it was a shame to bring the team like this.

The defense is not good, but the offense is humiliating, this is the embarrassing state of the Timberwolves.

After the game, Jimmy Butler was very depressed to admit the gap, saying that Durant and Klay Thompson were too difficult to limit.

But in reality, fans are more disappointed with the performance of the Timberwolves themselves.

With an average of 30.9 points per game, Zhang Xiaotian, who already holds the scoring title of the season, is very calmly concerned about the game in the west.

Among his fans, Yang Feiyu also organized an intelligence team to assess the situation of the Spurs' possible opponents in the future.

Of course, the Spurs coaching staff has professional analysts, and this is all about finding something to do while taking the kids.

Now it seems that there will be no twists and turns in the first round of the Rockets and Warriors.

As an opponent, Zhang Xiaotian certainly hopes that they will consume more, and then the two teams will meet and have seven more battles, and they will fight until they run out of ammunition and food, and they will be able to pick up cheap or something.

Of course, their current opponent is the-stirring stick of the Thunder.

If the strength of the thunder broke out, it could really cause trouble for them.

In order to nip the trouble in the cradle, he and Leonard need to concentrate their full attention and guard Anthony and Paul George as normal players.

Simply taking out the opponent and earning more time to rest and adjust is the right way to open a championship-caliber team.

Before that, he will also pay a little attention to the movement in the east. Reading a book and finding the latest chapters by yourself? You're out, WeChat attention Beauty editor helps you find books! It's really a good book to flirt with girls!
