On April 11, the Warriors arrived in Los Angeles for their second back-to-back game on the road. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The current Warriors are also a "high or low" record, they are currently ranked sixth in the West, but it is difficult to move up to fifth in the West, and it is unlikely that they will fall to seventh in the West.

For the Warriors, sixth in the West, the playoffs will play the Clippers; Fifth in the West, and the playoffs will have to deal with the Rockets, these two opponents are similar, all of them are teams with inside, outside and benches, none of them are soft persimmons, and the Warriors are all between five and five.

Curry was quite excited to see his idol Zhang Guan, but he was not soft at all, and got a triple-double in the whole game.

Klay Thompson, another of the Splash Brothers, didn't have a good hand, shooting just 2-of-5 from the free-throw line. As a person who eats by shooting, free throws are like this, and there is no need to count on normal shots.

The current Warriors mainly rely on the shooting of the Splash Brothers, this type of team is actually not terrible, the Warriors have been playing like this since the bearded Davis era in the early years, to the later Monta-Ellis era, and that large group of shooters also brought the Warriors the "Black Eight Miracle".

And the reason why this Warriors team was able to win the championship was due to the role of Draymond Green. Green can be regarded as the team's "glue", and in the future, Green will average more than 7 assists per game, which also shows that Green is the "real core" of the Warriors.

And now, Green has not grown up, and the Warriors' starting forward is still Iguodala, and in the years of Iguodala's injury, Green still has to compete with Harrison Barnes for the starting spot, and Barnes has more maneuvers and playing time than Green.

Steve Kerr hasn't become the head coach of the Warriors yet, and the Warriors don't have the three-point shooting system of the future. The current head coach of the Warriors, Mark Jackson, trusts David Lee, who averages 14.2 shots per game on this Warriors team, which is about the same as Klay Thompson, which also proves that a lot of the Warriors' offense comes from the inside. In the future, under Steve Kerr, David Lee's shots have been reduced to 6.4, and the number of shots he has reduced has basically been given to Green.

The same was true for this game, where David Lee took more shots, but he didn't shoot as well as Curry. As an interior player with a worse shooting percentage than an outside pitcher, David Lee had a terrible time today.

The Warriors have no problem making the playoffs, so the players aren't as desperate as the Lakers. What's more, the Lakers rested for two days to rest and wait for work, and they were playing at home again, which had more advantages in terms of physical strength and momentum, while the Warriors were in the second game of a back-to-back away game.

A team like the Warriors who shoot three-pointers is difficult to kill with a stick, and if you don't pay attention to a few three-pointers, the score will change rapidly, so this game also fought until the last minute, and the Warriors in the second game of the back-to-back finally lost the game 116-112 by the Lakers, who were waiting for work at home.

On April 12, the Mavericks defeated the Suns 101-98 on the road, which was the Suns' 33rd loss in the regular season, and the Lakers also had 33 losses at this time, which means that the Suns and Lakers are already on the same page in the race for playoff tickets.

The Lakers still have the last three regular season games left, and the next opponent is the Grizzlies, who are currently 32 losses, and if the Grizzlies win, they will basically lock up a playoff spot, and the Lakers will basically say goodbye to the playoffs; But if the Lakers win, the Grizzlies, Suns and Lakers are all all 33 losses, and it remains to be seen who will get the last playoff ticket.

So for the Lakers, this game is a battle of life and death, as long as they win, it is equivalent to successfully pulling the Grizzlies off the horse.

The Grizzlies also know the importance of this game, and the whole team looks like they are waiting for it, as if they have entered the playoffs ahead of schedule.

……

"Conley shot, didn't go in! Gasol grabbed the offensive rebound and attacked again! Still didn't get in! Carman controls the rebound. Do you want to foul or not? Fouled! Randolph's foul! Randolph has fouled for the sixth time! ”

Randolph walked off the court with a helpless look on his face, and Carman stepped to the free throw line.

"I've got to score and if I score those two goals, we'll have a five-point lead and we'll have a chance of making the playoffs!" Kaman's face showed a sense of persistence.

Although Carman has been in the NBA for many years, he has only made the playoffs once in 2006, so he is desperate for the playoffs.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

Carman hit two free throws to give the Lakers a five-point lead over the Grizzlies at 103-98 with just 23 seconds left in the game.

"23 seconds, there's still a chance!" Conley took the serve and pushed forward, and with a five-point difference, he had to shoot a three-pointer.

However, a figure suddenly appeared beside him, and then a hand suddenly reached out.

"It's Zhang Guan!" Conley hesitated at this moment, he didn't know whether to move on, or pause a little to steady, and it was this hesitation that allowed Zhang Guan to cut off the ball.

"Oops!" Conley looked at the basketball in the distance and knew that the tide was over.

……

The Lakers won this crucial battle, leaving the Grizzlies at 33, with the Suns, Grizzlies and Lakers all at 33, and they were on the same page, with only the last two games left in the regular season.

On April 14, the Lakers challenged the Jazz away, who are the bottom of the West, but they still have to "compete" with the Boston Celtics for the bottom fourth place in the league. For teams that are in a bad position, a worse result means that they have a better chance of getting the top pick when the draft is drawn. So the current Jazz team is completely aiming for losing, so the Lakers easily defeated the Jazz. The Lakers' record has also changed to 48-33.

Also on the same day, the Memphis Grizzlies defeated the Phoenix Suns 97-91 on the road, Randolph broke out and scored 32 points to help the Grizzlies win, and the Suns' record also became 47-34, saying goodbye to the playoffs completely.

After the Grizzlies' victory over the Suns, their record became 48-33, the same as the Lakers. Meanwhile, the Mavericks have a 49-32 record and are currently seventh in the West.

The final day of the regular season will be crucial, and on this day, the Lakers will travel to take on the Spurs, and the Grizzlies' opponent is none other than the Dallas Mavericks!

Three teams are vying for two spots, and the situation gets complicated.

Let's talk about the Lakers and the Grizzlies first, their records are both 48 wins and 33 losses, according to the rules of the NBA, if the two teams have the same record, they will compare each other's records, this season the Lakers are 3-1 against the Grizzlies, and the Lakers are in a dominant position, so if the Lakers and Grizzlies win or lose at the same time, the Lakers will get a playoff spot.

If the Lakers lose and the Grizzlies win, or if the Lakers win and the Grizzlies lose, the losing side will be eliminated for losing one more game.

The Mavericks have a 49-32 record, and if he can win against the Grizzlies, he will definitely advance, and he will also guarantee the Lakers to advance.

If the Mavericks lose to the Grizzlies and the Lakers win, then all three teams have a record of 49 wins and 33 losses, which would create a most complicated situation.

First of all, we must compete with each other. This season, the Lakers are 3-1 against the Grizzlies, the Lakers Mavericks are 2-2, and the Mavericks are 2-2 against the Grizzlies, and the Grizzlies will be out.

From this perspective, as long as the Lakers win, they will be able to advance to the playoffs. And the only possibility for the Grizzlies to advance is to beat the Mavericks while still hoping that the Lakers will lose.

As for the Mavericks, win or lose, they have effectively locked a ticket to the playoffs, but whether they finish seventh or eighth is a question.

The Mavericks win and can rank seventh in the West with one less loss. If the Mavericks lose, they will be 2-2 compared to the Lakers and Grizzlies, and the two sides will have the same record against each other.

When there is a tie in the record, the regional champion will be ranked first, and there is obviously no regional champion among these teams, so the next item will be compared, which is the regional record.

Intra-regional records are limited to two teams in the same region. That is, only the Grizzlies and Mavericks can compare, and they are in the same Southwest Division.

The Southwest Division is one of the most competitive divisions in the league, with five teams from the Southwest making the playoffs at the same time in 2015. In the Southwest Division, the Spurs, Rockets and Mavericks, the "Texas Big Three", are not only playoff regulars, but also teams that can avoid the NBA championship, and the strength of the Grizzlies cannot be underestimated. The four teams don't want to compare records, with the Spurs certainly the best and the older Mavericks the worst. If the Grizzlies and Mavericks advance at the same time, the Grizzlies would become seventh in the West, while the Mavericks would be eighth in the West.

The Lakers are in the Pacific Division, not in the same division as the Mavericks and Grizzlies, so this rule does not apply.

Teams in different divisions should compare their divisional records, that is, their records with teams in the West. If the Lakers and Mavericks advance at the same time, comparing the divisional record, the Mavericks will have an advantage. The Lakers' poor record in the first half of the season is also related to the fact that they have played more Western teams, so the Lakers will be eighth in the West, and the Mavericks can keep seventh in the West.

As for the form of the west, the experts have analyzed it quite thoroughly. Whether the Grizzlies can advance to the playoffs depends on the faces of the Lakers and Spurs while winning the game, and whether the Lakers can advance to the playoffs or not, the fate is in their own hands.

With a win over the Spurs, the Lakers will advance to the playoffs; And if you lose to the Spurs, you can only pray that the Grizzlies also lose to the Mavericks.

At the same time, the Spurs are faced with a choice.

At present, the Spurs have the first record in the West, and they have a three-game win difference with the second-place Thunder, and they have already established themselves in the first place in the West.

If the Spurs are willing to let the Lakers go, then the Lakers are in eighth place, and the Spurs' first-round opponent in the playoffs is the Lakers.

If the Spurs are unwilling to let the Lakers go, if they can beat the Lakers and the Grizzlies can win the Mavericks, the Spurs' first opponent in the playoffs will be the Mavericks.

It's about whether they can enter the playoffs, the Lakers will definitely fight hard in the game, and the Spurs can only fight the Lakers if they want to win. It's definitely risky for Spurs.

But from another point of view, the current Lakers are definitely much more difficult to deal with than the Mavericks. Mavericks are a group of veterans, not weak and experienced, and it is difficult to have extra play without giving them. In addition to having Zhang Guan, the Lakers are also a team that fights shelling, and the team has raised a lot of nerve knives, once these nerve knives are powerful, the Spurs really can't stop them.

For the Spurs, playing the Mavericks in the playoffs is more stable than playing the Lakers, at least not too easily.

……

April 16, the last game day of the 2013-2014 NBA regular season.

The night's game will determine whether the Lakers can advance to the playoffs.

And during the day, a troublesome guy appeared in the media with a troublesome news......
