The term rotation was first coined from the tactical slogan of the Spurs' great coach Popovich, and of course, officials will still look for some inexplicable reasons for their absence.

Entering April, near the end of the season, in order to have a better performance of the players in the playoffs, many first-tier top team coaches will selectively let the players in the team rest, which is also a release after the fatigue of the season has accumulated to a high level.

The NCAA has entered the quarterfinals, and the attention is getting higher and higher, such as Otto Porter of Georgetown University, Oladipo of Indiana University, Cody Zeller, etc., are all players at the top of the draft list, and can even attack the top spot.

Ping Ping gradually entered the field of vision of scouts because of the game with the first seed school, although he failed to enter the draft market, but many teams scouts have placed all aspects of the information of this young Chinese who is less than twenty years old on the table, only the physical test data.

The 76ers lost to the Nets on the road, and Hayward exploded and scored 36 points and nine rebounds.

After that, the NBA suffered the NCAA finals, and the league-wide took a one-day break to make way for the NCAA National Championship Finals.

The two teams that reached the NCAA Finals this year were the University of Michigan and the University of Louisville, and in the end, the University of Louisville defeated Michigan by 12 points to lift the third championship trophy in the history of the university.

After the game, several Syracuse players announced their participation in the 13-year NBA draft, among which Michael Carter Williams, who averaged 12.8 points, 4.9 rebounds and 7.4 assists per game, received significant attention. Wang can contribute 6.9 points and 2.5 rebounds in 11 minutes of play, shooting 44 percent from the field.

Tang Wenlong and a group of stars watched the finals and returned to their home court to face the Eagles.

After the Hawks traded Joe Johnson, their attacking power dropped this season, but they brought in sharpshooter Kyle Korver, and the outside firepower is not weak.

In the game against the 76ers, Hawks inside Horford made a big move, scoring 28 points and 13 rebounds. However, it was the 76ers who won in the end, Tang Wenlong easily scored 29 points, 9 rebounds and 13 assists with a quasi-triple-double data, while there was only one turnover in the whole game.

In the West, the Lakers have rebounded, but they are still on the fringes of the playoffs, far from the great expectations of the beginning of the season.

However, the Houston Rockets that have just been rebuilt are eye-catching, Harden and Jeremy Lin's "Harleding" combination has strong offensive firepower, Asik's rebounding is outstanding, and with the assistance of Holiday , Marcus Morris, Delfino and other strong players, the Rockets have a similar record to the Lakers.

At the same time, there are two teams such as the Jazz and the Mavericks hovering at the door of the playoffs, and the fierce competition in the West can be seen.

"So our opponent in the first round of the playoffs is very likely to be ...... Celtic again. ”

Philadelphia, Wajovia Training Center, Doug Collintha and a bunch of people take classes and make a series of important speeches about the playoffs.

"The Celtics are our old rivals, so everyone should be familiar with them. This year, Rondo suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his knee and played only 38 games in total, and the season was reimbursed. The Celtics are struggling, dropping out of the top eight at one point, and if they can make the playoffs, they won't be as strong as we were when we met a few years ago. As Collins spoke, Tang Wenlong turned his head and glanced at Lei Allen secretly.

Lei Allen turned his head and smiled at Tang Wenlong.

"Of course, it could be a buck." Collinston paused and spent the rest of their possible opponents, and unlike the fierce competition in the West, where the top eight positions in the East are relatively fixed, the Bucks are the only team that has the potential to beat the Celtics into the top eight in the next game.

"The Bucks are a team with a bunch of shooters, and they have changed their head coaches this season, and the overall win rate is around 50%. Ilyasova and Larry Sanders have rebounding prowess I think we've all seen this season, JJ Redick, Monta Ellis, Dunleavy and Jennings are all very good players, and if our opponent is them, I think it's more dangerous than the Celtics. ”

"It's a convulsive team." Tang Wenlong silently added a sentence in his heart, remembering that he had lost to the Bucks this season, and stood up vigilant.

Doug Collins spoke eloquently, followed by an analysis and interpretation of the tactical issues of the two teams, and the players listened attentively to the lesson, and the funniest was the rookie Taylor, who was holding a notebook and writing down something on it, with a pair of black-rimmed glasses, looking extra serious.

Tang Wenlong snorted and laughed out loud.

"Don, do you have any questions?" Head coach Collins asked Tang Wenlong suspiciously.

"Nope." Tang Wenlong laughed dryly and sat up straight, "Coach, what you said is very good, I think they are all very correct, it is indeed very important to give full play to the advantages of our positional attack." ”

"Yes, you're listening very seriously." Collins smiled: "Whether it is the Celtics or the Bucks, their positional offense is obviously inferior to ours, the Bucks' interior defense may be better because of the presence of Sanders, but it is not particularly strong, and we have the most layered interior and exterior defense in the league." ”

Tang Wenlong was a great Khan, but Corinth was serious.

At the same time, the rest of the league is also preparing intensively, and with the playoffs just around the corner, the selection of opponents and regular tactical drills are something that cannot be delayed.

On April 18, the 76ers faced the Pacers in their final game.

The 76ers locked the league's No. 1 record in advance, and in this game, they simply let many main players, including Tang Wenlong, Gasol Jr., and Iguodala, rest. The opposite Pacers are also very tacit, and the main players such as Paul George, George Hill, and Roy Hibbert are also rested.

The two teams combined have more than a dozen players in a state of rest, and basically the second and third tier players in the team usually play.

In the end, the Pacers defeated the 76ers 105-98, and the Pacers' Gerard Green scored 34 points, including 6 of 12 three-pointers, and was the best player of the game.

At the end of the season, the 76ers had 82 games, 66 wins and 16 losses, and the record was the first in the league.

The Heat and Thunder both have a 60-22 record and are tied for second in the league, while the New York Knicks are third in the East with 54-28.

The Lakers, Rockets, Jazz and Mavericks battled for a harrowing playoff standing, with the Lakers finishing seventh and the Rockets eighth.

In the East, the Pacers and Nets are in fourth or fifth place, the Chicago Bulls in sixth place, the Hawks in seventh place, and the Celtics in eighth place.

The Bucks are two wins behind the Celtics and almost make the playoffs. (To be continued.) )
