"First of all, congratulations to the Lakers for their victory." At the post-match press conference, a local journalist with a rainy face said in a sarcastic tone that even a fool could hear, "But won't your conscience hurt to win in this way?" This short phrase is translated in Level 4 Chinese, which is almost the meaning.

Zhang Wei secretly said in his heart: "I'm really a little embarrassed", but he also knew that if he wanted to limit Duncan to ten points, he had to let him roll all over the ground, and he had to bully him fiercely.

Mutombo and Mason both helped him a lot in this game, so to speak, he was forced to pretend, and the villains let these two be. Therefore, of course he has to support his two younger brothers afterwards, otherwise he will be too unparticular, who will give him his life in the future?

"First of all, thank you for your congratulations." Zhang Mao's tone was very formal, and he looked like he wanted to be reasonable, but his words were not very reasonable, "I won't explain anything, because my father told me never try to explain the misunderstanding and distortion of the world about you, because what exists is the truth, and anyone's success is not a vain, they must have paid the effort and price you didn't expect - talent, opportunity, luck, effort, appearance, and even disgraceful things all exist, and there is nothing to doubt." ”

The reporter who asked the question before almost spewed out a mouthful of old blood, Zhang Mao's words are not only infuriating, but also full of contempt and disregard for the weak by the successful.

At this time, when the camera is pulled to the other side, Duncan, who is covered in bruises, is asked similar questions, but there is no resentment from fans and reporters, at least you can't see that he shows these emotions, he said: "We lost, but at least we lost more than we won." ”

This is very sassy, even if Zhang Yu heard it, it was difficult to say anything, who let him win this game is really dishonorable, and he himself didn't admit it.

Zhang Wei only learned Duncan's answer the next day, he knew that he finally met a decent opponent again, and he also knew that yesterday's game would definitely not hit such a guy.

He doesn't have to guess, he can know from Duncan's words that this game not only didn't kill the rookie, but maybe it also accelerated the growth of the family, because some people just can't be defeated, and the more you bully him, the stronger he will rebound.

This kind of person, Jordan is of course a typical of the typical, but he is too old to pass it.

And in the younger generation, Kobe Bryant is one, Garnett seems to be very resistant, Iverson also has a little bit of this meaning, and now Duncan is the one he is most sure of, because the person who can say this will be a greater threat to him in the future than the first three.

Of course, there are still many potential young players in the league, and there should be such people, but these four are the threats he has identified, and they are also the contemporaries who he has recorded in his heart that can threaten him in the future, and the rest will have to work harder if they want to get his attention.

The Lakers have only three games left in the season after beating the Spurs, and with one more win, they will complete their 75+ winning streak.

Mavericks, Mavericks, Jazz, these are the next three opponents that the Lakers will have to deal with.

The Dallasians must be in a state of collapse, and no one should have any hope for them in these two games, because they probably don't want to win at all, and the competition for draft picks is no less intense than the front-row teams competing for a playoff spot.

Therefore, there is no need to think too much about the results, the Lakers won both games easily, and even the back-to-back away games could not stop the Lakers and Zhang Zhu's desire to break the record.

The Lakers want to break the record when 74 wins, this has been done, there is no suspense at all.

However, Zhang is now a little short of breaking the record, counting the 44 and 42 points he just brushed from the Mavericks, his average points per game has just reached 37.1 points, which is exactly the same as Jordan's record that year.

If you calculate the decimal point, Zhang Mao's current data is a little higher. However, the NBA statistical rankings are based on total points, which means that if the two have the same average per game, then the total points are calculated, and Jordan scored a total of 3,041 points in the 86-87 season.

Zhang Zhu's total score is now 3,009 points, so if he wants to surpass Jordan, he must brush up on the Jazz to score 32 points.

In this way, the last game of the Lakers has become very important, and Zhang Zhu still has to go all out, otherwise the hard work of a season will have to fall on these last points, which is too stupid.

Fans and media also want to know if Zhang Zhu can officially surpass Jordan, so after the Lakers finished playing Mavericks, the first question Zhang Zhu was asked by reporters was "scoring records".

However, a cunning guy like Zhang Mao, of course, avoided answering, and he joked: "Everyone has set a world record, and the moment you are born, you are the youngest person on the planet." ”

The reporters scolded in their hearts, but Zhang Wei was indifferent, and he still changed the topic under the subsequent series of questioning: "I said, don't take the record too seriously, what really matters is not what awards you have won or how many records you have broken." It's not how far or how high you go. It's the journeys we've taken together, and the memories we've created together. ”

"Who's going to come with you!"

"Remember with you!"

"That's nice, it's kind of your last truce!"

“…………”

Everyone knows that he is pretending to be forced, as long as Zhang Yu does not stop fighting in the last game, it will definitely be going to the record.

Zhang Qi naturally won't take a truce, isn't what athletes are pursuing is to break records, so he directly told Harris that it doesn't matter if he wins or loses in the next fight, but he must help him brush out the data.

Of course, this must have been requested by Harris on his own initiative, and the baby koala has always regarded false fame as dung, and will definitely not care if the record is broken or not - friendship first, competition second.

"32 points, are you sure it's 32 points?"

Zhang Wei has been picking up good things to the outside world, but as soon as he got home, his original form was revealed, and he quickly pushed the young lady away, picked up the calculator and calculated for a long time, and finally determined that as long as he scored another 32 points, Jordan could become the second, and this number immediately became a more important task than the Lakers winning the 77th victory.

He's choosing, and the Jazz are choosing.

Malone and Stockton are torn between trying to sabotage Zhang's attempts to brush his stats, and if he can't score 32 points, they may be even happier than winning against the Lakers.

But the Jazz don't dare to play like this, their second position in the West is not stable, if they lose the last game, it is likely to fall to third place, the Timberwolves are much more difficult to deal with than the Trail Blazers, especially Marbury has a big advantage over Stockton this year, Garnett is also difficult to entangle, they have a chance of overturning, and the choice is really tangled.

NBA1997-1998 Western Division Rankings——

1. Los Angeles Lakers (76-5).

2. Utah Jazz (63-18).

3. San Antonio Spurs (62-19).

4. Los Angeles Clippers (60-21).

5. Seattle SuperSonics (57-24).

6. Minnesota Timberwolves (46-35).

7. Portland Trail Blazers (40-41).

8. Houston Rockets (38-43).

You don't need to look at the ranking of the West further down, just look at the poor record of the eighth-ranked Rockets, of course, there is not even a team with more than 30 wins, half of the teams in the West are competing for a mess, who makes this their only way out.

This year, the media has been slamming the league for making the strong stronger, which is tantamount to stifling the competitiveness and future of the entire league, which is a typical killing of chickens and eggs, which greatly reduces the excitement of the game between the strong team and the weak team, and also makes those small city teams unable to see the future and hope.

This is not nonsense, in this year's regular season, there is really no suspense in the game between the weak team and the strong team. Especially in the Western Division, the top five teams play the back teams, and they can basically win the game, which makes the ratings drop greatly, and even the fans of the weak teams are reluctant to buy tickets to watch the game on the spot, and the home attendance of a large number of teams has fallen by more than three percent, which of course has caused the dissatisfaction of the owners of the weak teams.

Now it's basically a situation - the weak team plays the strong team and has no attendance, and the weak team plays the weak team and has no ratings. The underdogs' revenues from tickets have fallen, as have their revenues from regional broadcasts, with the only increase being a much larger share of the league's distribution.

But when these teams are combined, they find that their income has not increased much, and they are far inferior to those big city teams and strong teams anyway. Moreover, there is another news that has made them very dissatisfied recently - those teams that have made a lot of money are actually dissatisfied with the sharing method, and they have to reformulate the sharing method according to the results and ratings.

This is a bit of a killing of the father's enemy, and now most teams rely on the league's growing share of profits, if this is really the case, isn't it to wipe out their small city teams and weak teams?

Of course, this kind of news was released by Zhang Zhu, he just wanted to provoke friction between these small city teams and weak teams and big city teams and strong teams! Anyway, it's not a rumor he made up, the capitalists are so greedy, they will never be satisfied, once there is no competition and referee intervention...... Hehe, don't talk about others, you have to pay for all the products and businesses under the Dragonborn company, and Apple's products will also increase in price every year, maybe when, Zhang Zhu will find someone to burn down his factory, and the price of the product will increase by two or three times the next day. And it only goes up, not down, and you don't want to reduce the price when the factory is rebuilt.

Before the game between the Lakers and the Jazz, the media did not report on their "76 wins" at great length, because this "76 wins" is really not that important, and who makes other teams too far away from the Lakers.

Invincible is really lonely, if someone can run 9.6 seconds in the 100 meters, but others are only 9.8 seconds at the fastest, then whether this person can run 9.54 or 9.59 seconds, the media will not make much difference.

The Lakers will win at least two more games this season than last year, but fans are used to seeing the Lakers win, and even if the Lakers have a 76 or 77 win this year, the fan response has been far less strong than last season.

Who has made no one a threat to them this year, and there is not a 71-win bull chasing after them, there is really no climax without comparison!

Now, these teams, including strong teams like the Jazz and Spurs, can only say that they are lucky to beat the Lakers once in the regular season, but no one thinks that the Lakers will give others a chance to beat them by two or three games in the playoffs.

"Do you want me to be honest?" "I think the Lakers will win the championship this year, and there may be someone who wins one or two games in the series, but next year is our challenge, and this year's Lakers can't be beaten," Zhang said in the open practice before the Jazz match. ”

Harris is also full of confidence, revealing that the Lakers will not hide their strength in the final game of the regular season, because even if they go all out against the Jazz, they will have three days off before the playoffs begin. This time is enough for the players to recover their strength, and no matter how long the rest is, it is easy for the body to relax.

Jazz head coach Sloan said with a constipated look on his face when talking about how to deal with Zhang, "We're going to take this game very seriously, it's for the playoffs." We're going to try to keep him away from the ball and we have to keep an eye on him at all times, so the best way for us is to keep him out of reach. But it's hard, but we have to do it. I think it's going to be a tough fight, but we're going to do it all. ”

Zhang Qi expressed his disdain for Sloan's interview, so many "we", so many "buts", Ya's speech is not neat, and she still wants to win?

He despises many of the interviews with players and coaches, and he talks a lot about it, but it's almost the same as not saying it, no wonder he can't beat them, phew!

The Los Angeles media didn't have much coverage of the game, and even on the day of the game, most of their coverage was on the Rockets, who the Lakers were about to face in the first round of the playoffs.

The Rockets' record this season has plummeted, the main reason is that Olajuwon has been injured for most of the season, and it was not until the last ten games of the regular season that he began to return to find his form, which has been the inside combination of Kevin Willis + Wang Zhizhi, plus Barkley switched to the Bulls, and the current Rockets have long lost the strength to compete for the championship, and it is not because they are awesome that they can enter the playoffs this year, but because other teams are too vegetable.

Wang Zhizhi, a player that Zhang Fu also pays attention to from time to time, his personal data has been maintained at 12+7+2, the shooting rate is about 46%, and the three-point shot is about 35%, even if this efficiency is not A+ for interior rookies, but it can definitely be rated as A-.

Zhang Juwang knew that if Olajuwang hadn't been injured for so long, Wang Zhizhi would partner with Da Meng, and his data and efficiency would definitely improve a little more. But on the flip side, if Olajuwon hadn't been injured, he wouldn't have started as many 56 games, let alone averaged 28 minutes per game.

Of course, Chinese fans are not satisfied that Chinese players only play such a role, even if they can't become the first brother of the league like Zhang Fu, at least they have to become a prince, right?

Therefore, now many people have begun to pay attention to those good seedlings in China, but there is only one most conspicuous, that is, the Shanghai little giant who has just joined the Chinese team and has grown to about 220cm in height.

In April of this year, Yao Ming was selected for the Chinese national team and is preparing to go to the United States in May to participate in basketball training at Nike Summer Camp.

Zhang Zhu will also go to see the little giant after the playoffs, just in time for him to pass on a one-day coach in the training camp, and then he will be able to meet these young talents from all over the world.

It is said that the German rookie who was eliminated by the Lakers last year is also ready to make a comeback this year, and he wants to prove that he is not a happy person.

At this moment, Zhang Fu found that he was still quite busy, so he had to end the regular season quickly and start his third playoff journey.

"I know what they want to do, but I'm in a hurry. An inexplicable illness or an unexpected tragic event can interrupt their lives, and I don't have time to play with them. ”

Zhang Wei said and did it, today he only took 30 minutes to successfully brush up to 32 points, although the Lakers have fallen behind the Jazz by 18 points, but this battle is won or lost, it is not something he cares about, he has got what he wants......
