Chapter 295: Unguardable
Faced with the sudden injury, Jenny Bass and the Zen master both discussed with the management team for several days, and the team doctor team immediately made arrangements. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info First of all, we must reduce the playing time of the main force to ensure that the main force will not be injured due to excessive physical exertion.
The team doctor's strategy effectively allowed the Lakers' main team to avoid injury, but it also made the Lakers' record a lot worse.
On March 6, when the Lakers played against the Thunder, the Lakers lost the game because of the lack of playing time of the main team.
On March 14, the Lakers lost to the Hawks.
On March 19, the Lakers lost by 20 points against the Suns. Then they lost to the Wizards and Warriors.
On the 29th, it lost to the Bucks.
Because of Wu Di's reduced playing time, he never kept his best game this month and gave it to Durant.
The best of the month in March are James and Durant. James averaged 25.8 points, 8.2 rebounds and 7.4 assists per game. Durant had 27.6 points, 8.5 rebounds and 3.8 assists. Wu Di lost the selection with 19.4 points, 6.4 rebounds and 7.5 assists.
As the regular season draws to a close, the Lakers can't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The injured three returned to the team one after another, and the strength of the Lakers increased again.
On April 3, the Lakers played against the Mavericks, and the Lakers easily defeated the Mavericks.
Nowitzki was blocked by the UAE, and the rest of the Mavericks were easily crushed by the Lakers, who won by more than 20 points.
On the 6th, the Lakers defeated the Grizzlies, and the Grizzlies' hand problems in this game, Randolph was injured on the inside, leaving only Gasol Jr. to support himself. Against Howard, Gasol Jr. was suppressed, and the Grizzlies scored only 84 points in this game, losing to the Lakers by nearly 20 points.
On the 8th, the Lakers played against the Clippers.
The two teams formed a shopping match, the score continued to climb, and the two sides continued to overtake.
Paul and Griffin both tried their best, but they were still no match against the Big Three, and finally lost the game by five points.
The Lakers, with a winning streak, ushered in the challenge of the Pelicans.
In January of this year, the Hornets officially changed their name to the Pelicans.
After changing its name to the Pelicans, its record was not good. But it's also new, and the Pelicans have already figured out how to regroup when Paul left. However, they have not had anything to cultivate in the past two years, so the Pelicans are also on the swing and ready to get a good player next season.
The Pelicans intended to surrender, and the two sides played tacit ball.
The smooth sailing game was played in the third quarter, and after Kobe Bryant jumped up and shot, he sat directly on the ground with his ass and did not get up again. He rolled on the ground with his feet covered, apparently hurting his feet.
The team doctor immediately came on the court and carried Bryant to the infirmary, where the result of the examination was an Achilles tendon injury. This is Kobe's old injury, and it recurred at this time.
The injury will require a long period of recuperation, and Kobe Bryant is already doomed to not participate in this year's playoffs.
The Lakers have no intention of playing, if it weren't for Wu Di shooting four three-pointers in a row in the fourth quarter, widening the score and making the Pelicans give up the game directly, the Lakers could have lost this game.
After the match, Wu Di asked the others to go to the hospital first, and he attended a press conference, and after answering a few questions in a hurry, he rushed to the hospital.
After arriving at the hospital, Bryant's injury has been confirmed, with a torn Achilles tendon and an uncertain recovery time.
The Zen master also felt helpless about this, and he was ready to get his first championship ring in the general manager position this year. This year, the Lakers' Big Three have been able to defeat the Heat Big Three, and winning the championship is already a sure thing, but I didn't expect that Kobe Bryant was injured on the eve of the playoffs.
He called the team medic and said, "I don't want to see anyone get hurt at this time, I'd rather they get injured in the regular season." ”
It was normal for the Zen master to lose his temper, but Wu Di still comforted him, "Phil, don't get too excited, there is still me in the playoffs!" ”
The Zen master waved his hand to let the team doctors leave, and then asked Wu Di, "Are you still sure of winning the championship?" ”
"Of course!" Wu Di said without hesitation.
"I believe in you!"
The Lakers have four games left in the regular season, against the Trail Blazers, Warriors, Spurs and Rockets.
In these four games, Wu Di showed better and better form, leading the Lakers to win all four games.
At the end of the regular season, the Lakers once again ranked first in the West with 63 wins, followed by the Thunder, the Spurs, the Nuggets in fourth, the Clippers in fifth, the Grizzlies in sixth, the Warriors in seventh, and the Rockets in eighth.
The ninth is the Jazz, the tenth is the Mavericks, the eleventh is the Trail Blazers, the twelfth is the Oh Timberwolves, the thirteenth is the Kings, the fourteenth is the Pelicans, and the fifteenth is the Suns.
First in the East is the Heat, second is the Knicks, third is the Pacers, fourth is the Nets, fifth is the Bulls, sixth is the Hawks, seventh is the Celtics, and eighth is the Bucks.
The ninth is the 76ers, the tenth is the Raptors, the eleventh is the Magic, the twelfth is the Wizards, the thirteenth is the Pistons, the fourteenth is the Cavaliers, and the fifteenth is the Bobcats.
The Magic turned out to be 11th in the East, and the Lakers have another top draft pick next year. If the Magic are lucky, the Lakers might be able to pick a top-10 pick and pick a good one.
In April's Monthly Awards, Wu Di won again, while James lost to Anthony in the East. Anthony averaged 36.9 points and 9.9 rebounds per game. Wu Di had 32.4 points, 7.6 rebounds and 10.2 assists.
The first round of the Lakers' regular season was the Rockets, and now the Rockets are completely relying on Harden himself. Inside Odom is averaging less than 10 points per game, this year is his last season with the Rockets, and the Rockets will definitely not renew his contract next season, 12 million signed a bench, and the Rockets' head this year is much bigger than in previous years.
Originally, Morey wanted to sell Odom, but after a few deals, he didn't get out. In that case, it's not bad to stay and give Harden salary space next year.
Artest, who was changed to Ci Shiping, is not as good as it was a few years ago, although his defensive ability is still there, and he has relied on defense to squeeze out Battier. But now he has nothing left except for his defensive skills, and his score has dropped to about 10 points, and he can only rely on defense to mix up the salary of a veteran in the future.
However, Ariza, who switched to the Rockets, has performed well this year, and Tieza has changed his previous decline and averaged 11.7 points per game.
However, with Harden's own complete inability to lead the Rockets to victory over the Lakers, no one is optimistic about them, from the media to fans, and even to the team's management and coaching staff, they don't think the Rockets can win, they just hope to be able to grab a win and not be swept.
