Chapter 545: The End of the Regular Season

After a five-game winning streak at the end of March, the Lakers' current record has unknowingly reached 68 wins, which not only ensures that they can enter the playoffs, but also basically guarantees that they will be the regular season champions this season, after all, the Warriors behind them are now only 63 wins, and if they want to recover this gap in these games in April, they can only hope that the Lakers will have major injuries and other changes.

And at the same time, the Lakers now have a chance to impact the Warriors' 73-win record, Ye Xuan has been emphasizing that he will not deliberately pursue this record, but at this juncture, the record is already within reach, so the Lakers will have some heartbeat. However, compared to the Lakers' easy schedule in March, the Lakers' April schedule is a bit tougher, with the Lakers having to play seven games in less than two weeks, including two back-to-back games.

In addition to the tight schedule, their opponents are also extraordinarily strong, first they have to face the Grizzlies, the Clippers are sprinting towards the playoffs, and at the end of the season, the energy that this team in ninth and tenth place in the West can burst out is quite amazing, and the Lakers have to meet these two teams in a row, and they are back-to-back. Then they will face the Spurs again, and although there are games against the Kings and Timberwolves, two rebuilding teams, as adjustments, but then they will have the toughest two games, namely the Pelicans on the road and the Warriors at home, and these two games are also back-to-back games, so it will be difficult for the Lakers to get 74 wins, but most people feel that they should be able to at least tie the 73-win record.

A group of players of the Lakers team are actually quite excited, they have a good chance to create a very high record in the history of the league, and they can appear in history as one of them, which makes them full of strength, Ye Xuan at this time in addition to still ensuring his combat effectiveness, but also pay attention to his physical condition, but after entering the system repair this time, he almost frightened Ye Xuan, because this repair actually took Ye Xuan nearly 3000 days of survival, Of course, the main reason for this is because Ye Xuan's dunks in the All-Star Game are too hurtful, and Ye Xuan's fatigue level has been accumulating in recent games, if Ye Xuan hadn't discovered and solved this problem in time this time, maybe Ye Xuan would have been injured inadvertently again.

Speaking of which, in fact, Ye Xuan's harvest in the All-Star Game is far more than 3000 days of survival time, first of all, the ticket king provided Ye Xuan with a 500-day survival time reward again, followed by the reward of the slam dunk contest, the champion of the dunk contest plus the milestone of participating in the dunk contest, the milestone of entering the final stage, etc., Ye Xuan just received a reward of 1150 days of survival time in the dunk contest, and the reward of the three-point contest surprised Ye Xuan, first of all, he won the championship for the second time this time, So many of the rewards when he participated for the first time didn't have them this time, but this time in addition to the championship reward, he actually had a full score reward, and this full score reward was as high as 850 days of survival time, so the three-point competition brought Ye Xuan a 1350-day survival time reward this time. First of all, Ye Xuan's data in this game can win Ye Xuan a reward of 175 days of survival time, and at the same time as an MVP trophy-level reward, so the final All-Star MVP trophy finally brought Ye Xuan a reward of 1500 days of survival time.

In this way, Ye Xuan easily reaped 4675 days of survival time rewards on an all-star weekend, plus some previous rewards, Ye Xuan's The deposit is actually as high as 9,000 days of survival time, but unfortunately, this time just repairing the damage to the body directly consumes one-third of the deposit, but Rao is so, Ye Xuan still has a lot of savings, enough for him to further improve his ability, but now Ye Xuan feels that there is no need to improve it for the time being, so he saves these things.

After repairing his body, Ye Xuan's performance on the field also changed in an instant, although he didn't usually feel anything wrong with his body, but after this repair, he could feel the obvious difference, first of all, the flexibility of his steps, which was much better than before the repair, and his speed was also faster after the repair than before the repair. In the first game after repairing the body, the Lakers easily defeated the Grizzlies, not that the Grizzlies did not do their best in this game, but because they met a full-fledged Ye Xuan today, without any warning, Ye Xuan cut a high score, only 27 shots in the whole game, and got 58 points plus 11 assists, of course, this has something to do with the Grizzlies' injury, Tony Allen's injury made them lose the best shield to contain Ye Xuan, One Conley alone couldn't contain Ye Xuan. As a result, the Lakers won easily, and Ye Xuan's 58 points were also scored in 33 minutes of playing time, which was amazingly efficient.

Ye Xuan is now beginning to enjoy this state of complete health, and the more this state is in the late season, the more it is like a hanging, because after a long season, almost all players will have some minor injuries such as muscle strain or tissue damage, some people feel that this has little impact, but for some players who are more sensitive to their physical condition, this injury will affect his game state. But Ye Xuan can ensure that his body is in the best condition, isn't this no different from opening a hanging.

Therefore, Ye Xuan secretly decided that if he had the opportunity in the future, he would repair his body after each game, at least this repair of his body could ensure that he was in the best condition in the next game, especially at this critical time, he was about to enter the playoffs, instead of using survival time to gamble on some illusory chances, it was better to repair his body stably to ensure his game state.

After the victory over the Grizzlies, the Lakers are back in Los Angeles, where they will play the Clippers again, this game actually seems indifferent to the Clippers, Ballmer is not ready to continue to put up with the current situation, he decided to give up this season directly, and then start the team rebuild from next season, no one on the team will be for sale, whether you are Paul or Griffin, whether you are the head coach's son or not, as long as you can trade some' future', then Ballmer will sell him outright.

Indeed, when Ballmer took over the team, he took over with a playful attitude, and the Clippers had a good record at that time, which made Ballmer feel that he had a good chance to win the team's first championship in a few years after taking over, but what he didn't expect was that the team is not as good as a year now, last year was the strongest year, but it was ruined because of injuries, and this year is even more so, Paul was injured 20 games, and after his return, there was a conflict with the head coach. This made Ballmer unbearable, so with a wave of his hand, he prepared to fuck Lao Tzu and get out.

Among the 30 teams in the league, Ballmer's assets should be said to be among the top five owners, and the only owners who can be richer than Ballmer are James Dolan, the owner of the New York Knicks, and Paul Allen, the owner of the Trail Blazers. The former is because he owns a number of sports clubs and a lot of media in New York, and the latter is a partner of Bill Gates, although Ballmer is also related to Bill Gates, but his assets are obviously not as much as Paul Allen's second boss of Microsoft, but in addition, basically no boss can compare with Ballmer for more money, even if it is the owner of the Nets, an oligarch from Russia, at most he is only five or five with him, not to mention the poor ghost boss of the Rockets or the Spurs, A team is 80 percent of their total assets.

In this team atmosphere, the Lakers must have defeated the opponent almost bloodlessly, and after the game, Paul also found Wade, one of the four heroes of the wind and dust, to pour bitter water, saying that the Clippers can basically announce their dissolution now, and he will definitely not continue to stay in this place next year to continue to be angry, Ye Xuan next to him heard it, and felt that Paul had something to say, so he immediately interjected, "Chris, since you are not ready to continue to stay in the Clippers, are you interested in coming to the Lakers?" You should also know that if you come to the Lakers, you don't have to move, and the team's fighting power now is definitely going to make sure you have a good time. ”

Although Ye Xuan personally recruited him, for Paul, he still needs to think about it carefully, after all, this is related to his future career. After the end of the game with the Clippers, the Lakers immediately ushered in the challenge of the Spurs, this game for the Spurs is much more critical than the last time they met, the last time they selectively gave up the game with the Lakers, they defeated the Rockets in back-to-backs, but what they didn't expect was that in the subsequent period of time, the Rockets' record was still strong, and the Spurs were challenged a lot, and the Thunder and other teams behind them were also eyeing up, Although they are still in fourth place in the West, the Rockets are only 0.5 wins behind them, and the Spurs' next opponents are the Lakers, Pelicans, Cavaliers and Pacers, while the Rockets' opponents are the Mavericks, Suns, Nuggets, etc., so it will be very difficult for them to keep their home court advantage.

So the Spurs are bound to go all out in the next few games, fortunately, the Lakers are fighting at home, and there is a Ye Xuan who is in good shape, so the play is also very stable, before the end of the first half, he successfully used a wave of 11:3 Xiao Gao Chao to open the difference to double digits, at the beginning of the second half, the Spurs also wanted to use their inside advantage to open up the situation, but after a few games of accumulation, Hibbert has gradually found the state, At the critical time, Wharton Jr. replaced Randle and replaced Hibbert with Al Jefferson on the inside, while Gasol went to the power forward position to entangle with Aldridge, and the result is self-evident, the Spurs' long-brewing wave of counterattacks was blocked, and the Lakers also won the game, after this game, the Spurs also fell from fourth in the West to fifth in the West, losing their home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs.

For the Lakers, after winning this game against the Spurs, their record has come to 71 wins, although they have two more games against the Warriors and Pelicans after that, but even if they lose both games, the Lakers can still tie the Warriors' 73 wins last year, so that the Lakers can at least share the first record with last year's Warriors.

Soon, the Lakers easily defeated the Kings and the Timberwolves in the next two games, both of which are teams in the process of rebuilding, and although the Timberwolves have LaVine, Chris Dern, Wiggins and Karl Anthony Towns several potential rookies, but the first two have been plagued by injuries this season, and Wiggins and Towns are not many helpers around them, so at the beginning, everyone expected the Timberwolves to enter the playoffs. In the end, they swooped all the way to the west.

After two consecutive wins, the Lakers finally ushered in their two most difficult games in the regular season this season, facing the Pelicans, who are currently ranked third in the West, and the Warriors, who are second in the West, in a row, and they are back-to-back games, in fact, the Lakers still have two consecutive games with the Warriors this season, but that time was at least not a back-to-back game, and Ye Xuan scored more than 150 points in those two games combined, and the Warriors couldn't lift their heads. If it weren't for the fact that they gradually regained their form by relying on their own combat effectiveness, it is estimated that they would not be able to keep their second position in the west.

However, before this, the Cavaliers in the East took the lead in the bad news, in early April, they finally won the battle for Bogut and successfully signed Bogut, but just when everyone thought that the Cavaliers had made a lot of money, there was a news that made other teams gloat, Bogut left the game directly injured in less than two minutes after playing for the first time, and this time the injury also directly reimbursed the season, that is to say, Bogut received the Cavaliers' salary of 800,000 in these two minutes, When converted into 48 minutes of a game, Bogut is simply the most expensive star to play.
