Chapter 85 Corvo, who is deeply loved by the whole world!(1/4)
After the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the well-prepared Trail Blazers 114-110 at home, they extended their winning streak to 14 games and their record reached 31 wins and 25 losses.
The seventh-place Jazz team in the Western Conference, which played on the same day, lost to the Los Angeles Clippers in an away game, which brought the Jazz's current record to 31 wins and 25 losses.
The two teams have the same record. The Jazz lead 2-1 in the direct match, so the Jazz are now ranked seventh, while the Lakers continue to be ranked eighth.
At the same time, the Rockets, who are ninth in the Western Conference, also played a game today. They unexpectedly lost to the Wizards on the road. At the last moment, the Rockets failed to protect the backcourt rebounds and Bill grabbed the offensive rebounds. In the end, they lost 103 to 105, and the record came to nothing.
At 31 wins and 27 losses.
It seems that after being surpassed by the Lakers in record, the Houston Rockets seem to be slowly losing their mentality and falling behind.
James Harden, the new boss, seems to still need to be sharpened.
After all, the Lakers look very impressive now, and it will be difficult to catch up after being overtaken.
The Jazz, on the other hand, are famous for their stability in the league.
The team in front...
The Golden State Warriors, sixth in the Western Conference, now have 32 wins and 23 losses.
The Nuggets, fifth in the Western Conference, have 35 wins and 22 losses
The Grizzlies, fourth in the Western Conference, currently have a record of 36 wins and 18 losses.
The Clippers are third in the Western Conference, with 39 wins and 19 losses.
The Thunder, second in the Western Conference, have 40 wins and 15 losses.
The Spurs are first in the Western Conference, with 45 wins and 12 losses.
The Rockets probably won’t be able to catch up with the teams ahead.
However, for the Lakers, now with 31 wins and 25 losses, it seems that they have touched the back of sixth and fifth place in the Western Conference.
If you push harder, you might be able to touch your butt.
If possible, the Lakers certainly hope to break into the top six in the Western Conference.
Both the fifth and sixth picks can avoid the Thunder and Spurs, the two super teams in the Western Conference, in the first round.
As the regular season enters this stage, the Rockets, Jazz and Lakers, these teams want to rush into the rankings. The teams that have not entered the playoffs want to enter the playoffs, and the teams that have entered the playoffs want to go further.
Teams such as the Clippers, Grizzlies, Nuggets and Warriors, which are very stable in the playoffs, cannot advance or fall, so they just want to hold on to their current position and not be surpassed.
As for the Thunder and Spurs.
Well, the Spurs must be very uncomfortable now.
His two most painful home teams, the Grizzlies, ranked fourth and the Clippers ranked third.
Damn it, it's hard for the Spurs to be ranked first, and it's hard for them to fall to second place. In the second round, they'll either play the Grizzlies or the Clippers.
Before the decisive battle with the Thunder, it would be a loss to defeat the Grizzlies or Clippers.
The Spurs probably only dream of being ranked fourth and fifth between the Grizzlies and Clippers.
In this way, he can give up his first position to the Thunder, a youth team of the stupid youth team, and fall to second place, sitting on the mountain and watching the fight between tigers and tigers.
However, even if the Clippers and Grizzlies are now third and fourth, the Spurs may have to deliberately lose a few games to make their record drop.
Because neither the Clippers nor the Grizzlies will fall below sixth. There is a possibility of falling to fourth or fifth, although the chance is just in case.
But this unexpected good luck appeared.
The Spurs' record is so high that they can't drop it even if they want to. Wouldn't that be a huge loss?
So, the nine teams in the Western Conference now competing for the playoffs are very interesting.
The bottom three of the top nine in the Western Conference are really jealous.
The four of the top nine players in the Western Conference seem to be guarding their homes and watching the sea.
The Spurs, the top two players in the Western Conference, are thinking about how to lose a few games, while the Thunder are thinking about winning desperately. It is best to win first place and increase the chips for the team's leader Durant to compete for the MVP.

The current playoff situation in the Western Conference is very interesting.
So at the post-game press conference, Du Kang was also asked about the playoff situation.
Based on the current situation of the Lakers, seventh and eighth in the Western Conference are the most likely.
"Whether it's the Thunder or the Spurs, we don't want to meet them in the first round. There is still one-third of the regular season left. I hope to lead the team to continue to rush upward and see if it can happen.
Some miracles."
Soon, Du Kang’s speech at the post-match press conference was instantly amplified.
"Does Coach D really think that he and the Lakers can keep winning like this? They almost lost the game against the Trail Blazers. Maybe Coach D should be more pragmatic. They will soon start consecutive road trips to the West.
, maybe next time we return to Los Angeles, Coach D and the Lakers will fall to ninth place in the Western Conference and work hard for the playoffs."
This is the Boston Globe.
"The current lineup of the Lakers looks very luxurious, with four guards, Nash, Oden, Howard, YI, Jamison, Artest, and Gasol, but they are basically old, weak, sick, and disabled. If Coach D
If we cannot make good rotations during the final sprint of the regular season, the Lakers risk a sudden collapse."
This is the Los Angeles Times.
"Coach D has a lot of courage in rotating players, and the current rotation is also good. Gasol was not used in the game against the Trail Blazers, obviously to save energy for the next game. However, if a team has veterans and
Too many teams with potential injuries will make people worry about accidents. Now the fans in the NBA who are most worried about sudden injuries are Lakers fans. Every game, Lakers fans are trembling."
This is ESPN's commentary.
In the general situation where Du Kang and the Lakers are making great progress, except for the hard-core Boston media, most of them are not black. They may be exaggerating, but they are basically neutral and they are telling the facts.
The current situation of the Lakers is indeed of a type that seems to be flourishing, but can easily collapse if you are not careful.
Among the 15 players on the Lakers team, except for Kobe, Howard, and Ebanks, no player has a physical strength above 90.
Not the top four guards and veterans like Nash.
It’s just Chris Duhon and Meeks who are so weak.
Or it's a disease like Auden's.
Such remnants of wheat.
In a fierce game, there are only two players in the entire Lakers who can maintain their combat effectiveness for more than 30 minutes.
Carter, Nash, and Iverson are reluctant.
Yi Jianlian, Gasol, Artest, and Jamison are reluctant.
As for Maizi, well, if it's not very intense, he can play slowly for 20 minutes with an energy-saving style. If he really encounters a beast team like the Thunder, Du Kang really doesn't dare to let Maizi play, for fear of being washed away.
As for players such as Oden and Jordan Hill, they all have certain special talents that can be used, but they are temporarily unable to stand up and contribute in every game.
Just say Auden.
Playing against the Trail Blazers, the team that looked down on him the most and was the team he was most familiar with, Du Kang simulated three games before he had one superb performance.
Therefore, every game of the Lakers requires Du Kang's precise calculation of rotations to avoid injuries.
Du Kang did set a maximum playing time for each game for the current important players of the Lakers.
Kobe and Howard were 36 minutes.
Nash, Yi Jianlian, Carter, Iverson top 30 minutes.
Gasol, Artest, Jamison, Oden up to 25 minutes.
Maizi, on the other hand, fluctuates, depending on his situation at the time and the situation of his opponent.
The Lakers' own situation does have some problems.
At the same time, opponents are indeed crazy about Du Kang and the Lakers.
The current situation of the Lakers is indeed not that good.
According to these media reports, it seems to be blooming, but in fact it is walking on a tightrope on the verge of collapse.
In the final analysis, his current prestige and MP are not enough.
If he had 100,000 MP, restored the durability and physical strength of all veterans, and then let you see what cruelty is!
His current prestige is not convincing because he has no championship.
His current prestige is actually due to Kobe's hard work and constant victory.
Kobe is so good, with 8 irons in 10 games and 12 irons in 14 games, Du Kang can lead the Lakers to win continuously. This is the source of his prestige.
Such prestige is somewhat arrogant.
Now Jerry Bass's gift makes his prestige even more difficult to convince the public.
The famous Lakers players used to support him, but now they have all turned against him, and even his senior, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, has become ambiguous.
At the same time, within the Lakers, except for Jim Shu, basically every faction is now opposing Du Kang.
