Chapter 1128 [unprecedented, primary goal]
On March 2, the Lakers defeated the Bucks back-to-back.
Paul George, the Bucks star, has applied for a deal to the team. He and Bredso cannot lead the Bucks too far. Center Bogut's strength has been declining year by year and he is already an ordinary blue-collar worker.
Bogut averaged 30 minutes per game, only scored 6.3 points, 10 rebounds and 2.2 assists, his shooting ability completely deteriorated and he could not score except for shooting in the penalty area.
However, it is difficult for George to leave the Bucks. He became famous here earlier and has become an iconic figure in the team. If the Bucks let him go, there will be no star who can rebuild around.
Young center Joel Embiid underwent a second right foot surgery in the summer and missed the entire 2015-16 season.
As the 2014 Tanhua Show, Embiid missed the entire rookie season due to a stress fracture of his right foot. He was found to have recovered from his right foot in a routine check last summer. One month later, the Bucks officially announced that the Tanhua Show needed a second right foot surgery.
As an NBA-level center, Embiid left a calcium deficiency because of his good bones. It is really not a good sign. Many people think that he will become the second Oden. The title of "Emperor" is really inauspicious.
He should be able to prepare for training camp in the 2016-17 season, but no one knows what level he can play.
The Bucks management's main task is to stabilize George. If there is no trade in the medium term, it means victory. As long as Embiid returns and performs well next season, it is possible to win George's heart.
After a day off, the Lakers were exposed to have a big upset and lost to the Suns, who were in poor condition away.
Swinger Klay Thompson was in a dizzy mood, and he made a defensive look, and double-teaming was useless. He made 11 three-pointers in the game, scored 28 points in the third quarter, and scored 6 three-pointers in a single quarter.
He scored 52 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists in the whole game, and made 11 of 16 three-pointers. He also had many fouls after making fakes, making 9 of 10 free throws.
After this game, Thompson averaged 25.2 points per game. He is already the recognized boss of the Suns and is stronger than himself in the parallel world. However, he is now working hard to lead the Suns into the playoffs, and he is not at a high place even if he enters the playoffs.
Guo Xu scored 45 points, 4 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 steals in this game, and his score was slightly inferior to his younger brother back then.
At this time, people understood why Guo Xu retired and why he was unwilling to come back in the Suns. He and Thompson partnered with each other, and the other teams had no chance of winning. Guo Xu, a double-teamed Thompson, would be dead if he could pass the wings.
This is the Lakers' 6th loss, and the Warriors have lost 6 games, and are still behind the Lakers' second place in the first half.
The competition in the regular season this year is extremely fierce, and it is likely that there will be two teams that have won more than 70 wins at the same time, setting a historical record.
The Western Spurs have also achieved good results. Currently, they have 52 wins and 9 losses. They will almost certainly win 60+ games. They are a good champion in the Eastern Conference, but they can only rank third in the Western Conference.
Since Jordan retired, the situation of strong West and weak East has continued. If the West wins the championship again this year, it will win the championship for 18 consecutive years. Some people suggest canceling the division between the east and west, so that stronger teams can meet later.
The Eastern team's two-point opponent in the season is the Eastern team, and about one-third of these two-thirds are teams with a winning rate of less than half, so the Eastern team's schedule is much easier than that of the Western teams.
Of course, it is impossible to cancel the east and west.
If this is done, the number of teams in the East and West will increase. Even if each team now has chartered flights, it will still increase the team's time on the journey. For example, flying from San Francisco to Orlando does not count as the airport to the hotel, which will greatly reduce the players' rest time and increase the chance of injury.
The most important thing in the league is players. If the star is injured, the subsequent decline in ticket revenue and ratings. In the playoffs, the increase in flight time will further aggravate the injury of players.
In addition, the United States will implement daylight saving time from the second week of March, with a 3-hour time difference from New York to Los Angeles. When Staples started playing at 8 pm at home, it was already 11 pm in New York, so canceling the east and west will further affect the NBA ratings.
Eighty percent of the Western Conference champions are the championships, and the home advantage of the Western Conference team in the playoffs is very important.
Warriors players are now striving to win, and they are all in a state of mind, reaching the intensity of the playoffs. The Lakers' goal is not the best record, but helping Guo Xu to score scoring data.
Guo Xu has long stopped paying attention to his record. The best record in history was created by him in the Suns. For him, he played the same role at home and away games, and the audience's emotions cannot affect his mentality.
During the break, he invited all the players of the team to have a dinner together, indicating that he wanted to average 50+ per game and needed the cooperation of his teammates.
He played a guest coach and said he wanted to change the lineup. Both the coach and the player said that there was no problem. The star's voice reached his level, which is unprecedented.
In the last month of the game, Guo Xu had to focus on scoring as the primary goal. The Lakers did not play against the five deaths, regardless of defense. Nurkic and the cornerstone Thackeray increased their playing time. Their size was the most suitable for Guo Xu to cover. After the cover, they cut in the penalty area to attract defense.
Guo Xu actually scored crazy before, and he became even more powerful as soon as he came to the screen. On March 6, he scored 62 points and 5 assists against the Wizards, and finally made a final three-pointer, winning 107-106.
Wall only scored 11 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists, but was completely defeated by Guo Xu. He could not break through without looking for cover.
Wall was forced to reduce his shots, which was precisely why the Wizards and the Lakers were in a stalemate until the last quarter. The teammates' scoring efficiency was higher than Wall. Love seemed to have a low shooting percentage, and his real shooting percentage also beat Wall. He averaged 2.2 three-pointers per game.
So far, Wall averaged 17.5 shots per game, only scored 19.9 points, 5 rebounds and 10.2 assists, shooting percentage of 42.4% and 35.1% from three-point shooting percentage, which hit a career high.
All players know that Wall is allowed to defend against breaking through two steps but not shooting. With the premise that he has an open position in every game, it is no big deal to hit this kind of shooting rate. This person with a real hit rate has always been about 50%, but he is recognized as the Wizards' number one core, and the team's first shots.
If this kind of player who cannot attract double-teams or even close players to be the core, the Wizards will never win the championship.
On March 8, the Lakers will face the Hawks at home. Guo Xu is preparing to beat this game hard, so there is no need to worry about being disgusted by fans or being retaliated by malicious fouls by their opponents.
The Hawks are recognized as a weak team. They are currently ranked third from the bottom in the East, only better than the bottom 76ers and the Knicks. In terms of profit, the Hawks are far inferior to those two teams. They are quite weird and no one pays attention to them at all, no matter what they do.
In 2014, after Donald Sterling was exposed to racial discrimination and forced to sell the Clippers, Hawks owner Bruce Levinson issued a statement saying that he was preparing to sell the team's controlling stake because of the racial discrimination goal.
He actually just didn't want to play anymore, so he didn't want to sell his team's face.
In April 2015, an consortium led by Anthony Riceler and former NBA star Grant Hill officially acquired the Hawks, with a price of $850 million.
