The situation in the west is generally clear, and only the sixth and fourth are still in suspense. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Spurs rallied after All-Star Weekend to outrun the Rockets, who are now third at 51-27 and sixth at 50-28.

The Lakers are naturally ranked first, with a 70-win record that no one can catch up with, and they locked up the regular season championship early.

The Warriors are 59-20 and have no problem winning 60.

The Trail Blazers are 54-24 and sit firmly in third place.

The Clippers are struggling to sit fifth with a 55-22 record, the Grizzlies at 48-30 in seventh and the Pelicans in eighth with 47-33.

The Mavericks, who have 45 wins, have only a theoretical chance of finishing in the top eight, but the Pelicans are unlikely to lose the rest of the game.

……

……

It's a very critical moment for the Lakers.

The whole regular season, nearly 6 months of hard work, was all about the last three wins.

After back-to-back games against the Clippers, D'Antoni banned players from all non-team activities, either staying home watching TV and having children, or going to the training gym to watch videos, and especially to nightclubs.

Even Nick Young and Henry, the two kings of nightclubs, have no objection to this, and they have been fighting for six months for this day!

While it may seem like three wins in five games is a no-brainer, it's a no-brainer for the Lakers' regular season record this season.

But the basketball is round, and D'Antoni doesn't want any surprises.

While the Lakers have finished first in the regular season and have all the home-court advantage in the playoffs, it looks like the regular season record is no longer going to help the playoffs.

But getting the first record in the history of the regular season is the goal of the players who have worked hard for a season, and if they fail, it will inevitably affect the psychological mood of the playoffs, so whether D'Antoni wants to add to his coaching resume or for the greater honor of winning the playoffs, he doesn't want to have accidents.

There will always be accidents, but if you are ready for everything, you have a great advantage in strength, and when the time is right, when the people are there, it is difficult for accidents to happen.

On April 10 and 11, the Lakers hosted back-to-back games between the Timberwolves and the Mavericks.

The Timberwolves, facing the Lakers, basically gave up, and they want a worse record to compete for a better draft pick.

It's been so many years since Garnett left the Timberwolves, and they've been rebuilding and rebuilding, and this year they actually look very good with a lineup, Rubio, Kevin Martin, Wiggins, Thaddeus Young, Dieng, a very beautiful lineup, but only 16 wins, "Jedi counterattack" the Bucks and the 76ers, occupy the bottom spot in the league, and sign for the top pick.

Towns, a super-rookie who ran for the tournament this year, is the heart of the Timberwolves......

The game was easy, the Timberwolves had messy tactics and unclear cores, and they were obviously going to have Wiggins as the core, but Kevin Martin averaged 18 shots per game to rank first on the team, and Wiggins only averaged 13 shots per game.

Naturally, fans don't understand Coach Sanders' desire to protect Wiggins, and they don't understand Coach Sanders' helplessness.

What can he do if the management wants him to take the top prize?

And today, due to the early opening of the score, LaVine went on the court again to show his coquettish shooting and explosive dunks, as well as good balls from time to time, of course, just from time to time, most of the time his teammates can't keep up with his whimsical ideas.

For example, after LaVine broke through, he passed a high toss for his teammates to catch empty, and then it was Thackeray who rushed in...... The main thing is that the ball can be passed through to the teammate who cuts in......

Of course, it's not a big deal, it's full of talent! This awareness is the envy of other teams!

And because LaVine didn't play much time with the Lakers, he was still developing, and he was not injured because of frequent overuse like he was in the Timberwolves, but gradually improved his developing body, which seemed to be more talented.

So Sanders could only look at the Lakers with resentment again......

Comfortably defeated the Timberwolves, and then the Lakers faced the Mavericks back-to-back challenges.

The Mavericks are much more difficult to play against than the Timberwolves, and the Mavericks are not giving up and are still trying their best to fight for the eighth spot in the West.

It's one thing to be able to catch up, and it's another thing to chase or not, at least the Mavericks team will never admit defeat and refuse to give up, which makes Liu Ren and the Lakers respect it very much.

The Mavericks have really a good lineup this year, but they are sadly in the West this strong team.

Rajon Rondo, Ellis, Parsons, Nowitzki, Chandler, this lineup is even better than the Raptors.

But because they are in the West, most of the opponents they play against are more powerful than the Raptors' opponents, and their record is much worse than that of the Raptors, and they can't even get into the top eight in the division.

In addition to the partition where it is located, there is a more important point that there is a problem in the locker room.

Liu Ren found that the atmosphere of the Mavericks was a little strange, and it was very different from a few months ago.

For example, Novitzki would come over to brag to Kobe Bryant every time he played against the Lakers, Ellis would come over to have a relationship with Liu Renla, and Parsons would come over to ask Nick Young and Henry about nightclubs.

But when Rondo came out, the Mavericks' side was instantly cold, and no one spoke, all of them did their own thing.

Although the Mavericks played well after the start of the game, the offense was sharp under Rondo's control, and the defense was also doing well, with Rondo and Parsons on the outside and Chandler on the inside, although the shooting guard and power forward are defensive black holes, the overall defense is also in the upper reaches of the league.

However, everyone could see that the atmosphere on the Mavericks' side was very strange, and there was no communication.

The Mavericks played well and worked hard, but that's it.

The difference in the strength of the two teams is very large, the gap between the first and the ninth, although there have been several black eight in the history of the NBA, and the strength of the Mavericks is not much different from that of the Pelicans, but the black eight is just a special case, the first to beat the eighth is the norm, and the number of black eight can be counted on one hand.

The very serious Lakers also defeated the Mavericks smoothly and won the 72nd victory!

Liu Ren had 38 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists today, leading the Mavericks to an easy 107-93 victory, tying the Bulls' 72 wins.

But Liu Ren's attention is now on Rondo.

In his last life, except for Kobe, his favorite player was probably Longdo.

I thought that the butterfly effect caused by coming to this world would change something, but now it seems that Rondo is still the title of locker room cancer here in the Mavericks, and it is estimated that after the end of the regular season soon, Rondo will fall out with Cuban and be swept away.

Sometimes it's not a good thing for a person to be too straight, like when Rondo asked Cuban to trade Nowitzki for draft picks......
