381: Ning's shot is really high and hard (seeking the moon)(1/2)
April 18, the final battle of the NBA regular season in 2004-05.
Generally speaking, there is no attention to the final battle.
Because of the last game, the chrysanthemum trend has basically been finalized this year.
Because of this, in order to preserve strength before the playoffs, many teams will not play seriously in the last game of the regular season, or even play the main players.
Look, the Spurs, Duncan, Kidd, Ginobili and others were inexplicably on the injury list.
Popovich explained this: "Their key parts are injured in training and should not play, but they will not miss the playoffs."
Key parts, injuries
Pass on, Duncan is gone!
In addition, the playoffs are coming, and fans are no longer interested in the regular season where small-scale plays are happening.
You can spend a good night with the goddess tomorrow. Will you still look at the goddess' photos today?
Therefore, generally speaking, the last day of the regular season games are not particularly popular...
But this year is very different.
Before the game started, Jordan held a glass of wine, picked up a cigar, and sat in front of the TV to wait.
He has been watching a game with such a ritual sense for a long time.
Although 71 wins and 72 wins are just one game away, their meaning is completely different.
Although even if Li Ang tied Jordan's record, Jordan's current status is unshakable.
But Jordan still doesn't want his 72-win record to be tied.
Because if Li Ang really did it, then when it comes to 72 wins in the future, Jordan will no longer be the only one in people's minds.
And Jordan wants to be the only one.
Popovich struggled for a long time, but finally decided to turn on the TV with a plate of antihypertensive drugs.
Although he has decided to block the Suns with all his strength in the playoffs and let the Suns bear the shameful hat of "70 wins in the Western Conference runner-up".
But he still hopes that before that, someone can accept Li Ang.
Only 71 wins, Li Ang is already so rampant.
If he had won 72 wins, wouldn't Jill have to go to the sky?
Popovich thinks this person is OK.
Although I like dancing at any time, I am still good at playing basketball.
Although the Timberwolves are only eighth in the West this season, they have indeed defeated the Suns once.
Any words like "I will never dare to do it again next time" are lies. The Timberwolves can defeat the sun once, and they will have a chance to defeat them a second time.
Barkley also supported Li Ang in the studio early: "You always say Jordan, Jordan, Jordan, he's just a fool! Back then, that was the person who was almost defeated by me!"
"Oh, you're talking about the time when Jordan was stunned by 41 points per game in the finals that year?" Kenny Smith smiled.
"So there is a reason why you are not very popular. If I don't do a show with you, I'm too lazy to talk to you! Look, Li Ang will prove today that 72 wins are not a miracle, but can be copied!"
Before the game, everyone was discussing the game.
This game has become the last focus battle in the regular season of 2004-05.
In the locker room, the Suns players were also nervous.
Two years ago, when Nash was still in Dallas and was frustrated, he would never have thought that one day he would be related to something like 72 wins.
Two years ago, when O'Neal Jr. couldn't even play in the playoffs in the big cornfield, he would never have thought that he would touch history one day.
Two years ago, when Master Tang was still enjoying a comfortable retirement life, he never expected that he would have the opportunity to become a historical coach.
And the changes in their lives are all because of one person.
The man was standing in the middle of the locker room and clapped his hands.
Do you think he would say something inspiring, which would be even more exciting than Boruto?
No, he just waved:
“After winning the game tonight, no alcohol is allowed, no food to go to the bath center, no fruit trays are allowed!
It’s not that I’m reluctant to invite you, you know me, I’m not the kind of stingy person. The main reason is that I’m going to play in the playoffs soon, so we have to save our energy. Okay, let’s do our job.”
After saying that, Li Ang walked out of the locker room.
That's right, Li Ang didn't consider the issue of victory or defeat at all. Today, Li Ang tried his best to win 72.
Now in the Sun, it seems like the goddess has agreed to go to your house to watch the cat’s backflip, and then tells you that the dormitory is closed and cannot go back.
As a result, at this time, you said you are a good person who is not close to women?
Pooh!
At this time, even if you take two small blue pills, you have to do this today.
That's what Li Ang thought today, even if he fought against Garnett, he would win 72 wins.
If you step apart, you will be separated by a membrane, how can you retreat?
Therefore, Li Ang was not worried about winning or losing from the beginning because he had to win.
What he was worried about was that everyone was too excited to win 72 wins after the game, which affected the playoffs.
After Li Ang left, everyone looked contemptuous.
Last year, Li Ang said that the Olympics are important and he doesn’t eat fruit plates.
He won 72 this year, and he also said that the playoffs are important and he doesn't eat fruit plates.
Everyone wants to see, Brother Li, you have any excuses!
"Oh, Brother Li, everything is good, just a little stingy."
Just as O'Neal was about to complain, Li Ang suddenly pushed the door and entered: "Why did I forget to take the arm guard? This arm guard? Brother Diao, were you talking about me just now?"
"Ah, I said Brother Li is good at everything, but he is too worried about the team! Usually, you should pay attention to rest more."
"Oh, thank you for your concern. You are ready, so come out quickly."
Seeing Li Ang leave again, Xiao Aoda breathed a sigh of relief.
Just now, it was the closest time he had to heaven.
So, Li Ang really won people with virtue.
Martial virtue is also virtue.
It is not only about conquering people with virtue, but also about reason.
Li Ang had already thought about the reason for not treating the fruit plate to win this year: "I will participate in the Asian Championships this summer, so the fruit plate will be next time."
When he arrived on the court, Li Ang immediately attracted the attention of all the cameras.
The cheers of the fans at the scene never stopped, and outside the arena, the streets of Phoenix City were also crowded with people.
Everyone wants to witness this historic victory.
Garnett has been preparing for the game seriously, and he didn't even look at Li Ang.
Garnett was actually a little nervous because people didn't know what Garnett would go through if he lost the game.
If you lose this game, it not only means that Li Ang will win 72 wins, but also means that the Timberwolves will have to fight the Suns continuously next!
If I lose this game, the Timberwolves will continue to lose in the playoffs.
Who can bear this?
So, this is not a matter of being beaten. If you get beaten today, you will be beaten four more times next.
No matter what today, the Timberwolves will have to escape from Li Ang’s controlled area too much.
Garnett was very attentive, but the madman Sprewell looked at Li Ang and smiled disdainfully.
He kept telling himself in his heart that as long as I scored higher than Li Ang, I would have tens of millions of dollars in annual salary to support my family!
The game began soon and both sides were ready.
The Timberwolves still gave their all to the fullest before the playoffs.
The Suns' 72-win battle will not be easy.
The game officially began, and the Suns won the first attack.
The two teams are old opponents, so there is nothing new in tactical ways.
Szebiak was staring at Li Ang, while Garnett was ready to wipe Szebiak's butt at any time.
But Li Ang didn't even touch the ball for the Suns' first offense, and Nash and Smith played a V-shaped pick-and-roll.
Kassel actively bypassed the cover and continued to block Nash, so Nash hit the ball to O'Neal, who was cutting in.
O'Neal's footsteps were faster than the sugar man, so he quickly gained half a distance.
To be continued...
