Chapter 510 The end of the regular season, the Lakers won 74
After playing the Trail Blazers, we entered the All-Star Weekend.
The All-Star Games will be held in New York City, Madison Square Garden.
That night, Lao Wang contacted Lao Hu and Da Zhi and asked them to go to New York to get together, and then contacted Da Yao.
Dayao has become the main center of the Georgetown University team this season. Because of his young age, his playing time is limited to 25 minutes, averaging 17 points and 8 rebounds per game.
This performance is already very good. One NCAA round is thirty seconds, the pace is very slow, and it only lasts forty minutes. The average per game is only about 60 to 70 points. Dayao's points have accounted for 25% of the team's points.
After last season, he became a star player at George University, and all teams in the NBA are paying attention to his growth.
And this season, as he continues to grow, he has gained great fame across the United States due to the popularity of the NCAA.
Now about to enter the NCAA March Madness, Georgetown University's lineup is still not enough, and the possibility of making it to March Madness is not high. This may be Dayao's only regret, because March Madness attracts the highest attention, for sure
Higher than the NBA.
Dayao had to prepare for the game and go all out for March Madness, so he didn't have time to go to New York, so Lao Wang had no choice but to give up.
On the morning of the 5th, he took Yu Feihong, Dabao, Kobe, Richmond and a few others to fly to New York. The flight took a full six hours, taking off at 9 a.m. and arriving at the airport at 3:30 p.m.
Although he can't get involved in K Times Sports Culture Company now, or even in the management of K Martial Arts Gym, he can still direct the group of brothers in K Martial Arts Gym. His cousin Wang Tieshu took a group of brothers to pick up the plane at the airport.
It is also majestic and full of style.
"Kobe, Mickey, we need to go to the martial arts gym first. You go to the hotel first. I will be there in a moment and have dinner together." Lao Wang said.
He arranged a car for Kobe and Richmond and had them sent away. His family followed Wang Tieshu to the branch library.
"Brother Tieshu, how is your business here recently? The business in Los Angeles is pretty good, and it has taken away a lot of business from Koreans and Japanese." Lao Wang asked after getting in the car.
Wang Tieshu said with a smile: "After the restructuring, the martial arts gym specializes in martial arts promotion and has a dedicated management team. How can we not achieve some results? It's not bad. Our current business is three times that before the restructuring, and it is still developing rapidly.
middle.
Like Los Angeles, we are also grabbing business from the Japanese and Koreans. In addition, the Chinese are the big ones here, and we also have youth classes, and many Chinese children are sent to learn martial arts."
"Oh, that's good." Lao Wang smiled.
When I arrived at the martial arts hall, I saw a phalanx of students learning martial arts in the Nuo University training ground. There were adults, children, and all races.
"Wow, look, it's Old K!"
When a few people entered, some adults happened to be signing up with their children. When they saw him, they all shouted excitedly.
"Hey, how are you?" Lao Wang also greeted quickly.
Dabao was very excited when he saw so many children, even though they were much older than him, and struggled to get down. Yu Feihong let him go down, and he ran towards the group of children.
However, the youngest of the group of children were seven or eight years old, and they were basically all boys. They obviously didn’t know how to play with a brat, so they didn’t pay much attention to him. There was only a little girl about ten years old who squatted down and pulled him.
The little hands started playing.
"Baby, what's your name?"
"Dabao."
"Hehe, Dabao is so good! You call me sister Sissi."
"elder sister."
"Sister Sissi."
"Sissi."
"whee……"
…
The family stayed in New York for a few days and returned to Los Angeles on the 9th.
Lao Wang's current attitude towards the All-Star Game is just to play. When he appeared on the show, he performed a set of Tiger Boxing from Xingyi Boxing. He had reached the level of Xiaocheng a few years ago with this set of boxing. He has not practiced much in the past few years, and some
It took a step back, but it also made Huhu flourish and win a lot of applause.
After the All-Star Game, the regular season entered the second half, and teams that wanted to compete in the playoffs began to exert their efforts. Some strong teams that ensured playoff qualifications began to strengthen their rotations and prepare physical reserves for the playoffs, such as the Spurs and other poorly performing teams.
The team continues to perform poorly.
Lao Wang returned to Los Angeles and rushed to meet the team with his suitcase that afternoon, and then rushed to Portland.
On the 10th, the Lakers challenged the Trail Blazers away from home.
This is the third regular season game between the two teams, with the Lakers winning the first two games.
Duncan has been gaining weight for almost two months, and his current tonnage has reached 120 kilograms, and his resistance ability has improved a bit.
The weight gain plan given to him by Lao Wang is divided into two phases. According to Duncan's idea, the first phase is during the regular season, when he gains weight to 121 kilograms, and the second phase is during the offseason, when he gains weight to the target tonnage. Like Kobe, one
Completed two periods of weight gain per year.
The first phase of weight gain is to gain weight on the lower limbs. First, strengthen the protection of the lower limbs. The next phase of weight gain is the upper limbs and core strength.
"Haha, old K, what I said is right, don't talk too much, don't brag too much. You lose this time, right?"
After the game, Da Meng was very happy to have won the game.
Duncan stood aside with a silvery smile on his face.
He scored 26 points and 10 rebounds against Lao Wang today, and his shooting percentage was 51%. Although it was still not as good as normal, it was much better than his performance in the previous two games.
Lao Wang said angrily: "Mitch, Kobe and I took a ten-hour flight yesterday. We are completely out of shape. You can't win this match."
He made 11 of 24 shots today, a shooting percentage of less than 50%, and made 3 of 11 free throws. He only scored 25 points, which was not as good as Duncan. He only grabbed 12 rebounds, and his defensive performance was average.
The same goes for Kobe and Richmond. Flying from New York to Los Angeles and then to Portland takes a few more hours than Damn and Duncan, and their physical fitness is greatly affected. With the Lakers in such a state, how can they be the Blazers playing at home?
opponent?
When playing against a super strong team like the Trail Blazers, not to mention this state, even a slightly worse state will not work, and the whole team needs to be in good state to have a chance to win.
"If you lose, you lose. Can't you afford to lose?" Dameng said disdainfully.
"I'll blow you all up again next time." Lao Wang glared.
With 39 wins and 7 losses, the Lakers rushed back to Los Angeles overnight to prepare for back-to-back games against the Warriors.
After sleeping for a while on the plane, Wang fell asleep when he got home. He didn't get up until noon the next day and rushed to the team for recovery training in the afternoon. In the evening, he led the Lakers to blast the Warriors and prevented the Lakers from losing a losing streak.
Next, the Lakers relied on their relatively deep lineup, strengthened their rotation, and continued to maintain their strength. In the rest of February, they won an eight-game winning streak, and with the Warriors, it was a nine-game winning streak.
In 12 games in February, they had 11 wins and 1 loss. The current record is 48 wins and 7 losses, ranking first in the Western Conference and first in the league.
The Pacers injured Ewing, their record has declined, and they have lost their No. 1 spot in the league.
Although the Celtics have no major injuries, the team has two prolific shooters on the outside and their record has begun to decline.
After Dameng, O'Neal, and Postman returned from injury, the Trail Blazers' record with the Knicks and Jazz began to stabilize.
The records of several teams are similar. Although they all want to take advantage of the home court in the playoffs, Dameng and O'Neal, one is a veteran and the other is a heavy center, began to have reservations in the second half of the game, taking two games off from time to time.
Preparing for the playoffs.
Although the postman is an iron man, he is actually not young at all. He is 35 and a half years old, and Stockton is almost 36 years old, so the Jazz have also strengthened their rotation and have some reservations.
After dozens of regular season games, the Lakers' tactical system has been initially developed. Richmond and Pharaoh's internal and external cooperation are getting better and better. Kobe's problem of excessive shooting has been further cured by Pharaoh, and the efficiency has stabilized at around 47%.
It can be considered that he has secured his main position.
Lao Wang has also begun to prepare for the playoffs and has reduced some shots. Although his physical fitness has reached level 105, this year's playoffs will definitely be very difficult. It is very difficult to pass the Jazz and Trail Blazers. There are also super
The speed of sound is not weak, and it is not easy to encounter, so I don't dare to consume too much physical energy in the second half of the race.
However, the hard power of these strong teams is there. If they meet ordinary teams, even if they have reservations, they will basically win. As long as they meet each other, it is impossible to say whether they will win or lose, and it is possible to let each other off.
On the 28th, the Lakers came to New York from Minnesota.
On March 1st, the Lakers challenged the Knicks away from home. This was also the second and final game of the regular season for both teams this season.
The Lakers lost the last game, and this time, Lao Wang didn't want to lose again.
O'Neal didn't want to lose either. Since he wanted to occupy a place in the era of behemoths, he couldn't avoid Lao Wang, so in this game he also used all his strength on both offense and defense.
Lao Wang scored 44 points, 15 rebounds, 6 assists and 5 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 58.5%. O'Neal scored 35 points, 12 rebounds and 4 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 54.2%.
Keep in mind that Laowang is a bit cheap in general, but not much.
However, Jordan's touch was mediocre today, with two behemoths fighting inside. He only shot outside jumpers, scoring 26 points and shooting 44% from the field.
Richmond was still heavily guarded by Jordan, but still scored 18 points, while Kobe took advantage of Jordan's defensive focus to score 24 points on Richmond. Under the performance of the two of them, the Lakers
Won the Knicks by 6 points.
Although the Knicks lost this game, O'Neal performed well and was recognized by New York fans and the media.
Jordan is also very satisfied with O'Neal's performance. If he can perform like this in the finals, he feels there is hope this time.
Lao Wang was surprised by O'Neal's performance. This big shark completely showed the flexibility and ferocity of a shark today, even brutality. Various center skills have also become more mature. This guy has really improved and can completely stand up to him.
The opponent competed with him. It seems that he is not the only one who is making progress, but also his opponent.
Phil Jackson was also very happy with O'Neal's performance. The last time he played against the Lakers, he felt that O'Neal's tonnage was too small and his dominance was weakened. He considered letting O'Neal gain weight, not to gain weight, but to gain muscle. But in the end, after communicating with Jordan,
Jordan didn't support his idea and gave up.
Jordan believes that as long as the current sharks strengthen their technical training, there is still room for improvement in strength. If they gain weight, their mobility will inevitably be reduced and their physical fitness will also be weakened. They will still have weaknesses when dealing with old K. It is not as good as it is now.
Finally, under Jordan's encouragement, O'Neal strengthened his technical training. After one season, his strength is now much stronger than at the beginning of the season. This is why he can compete with old K.
O'Neal himself is even happier. In addition to technical improvements, he feels that his physical fitness has improved a bit and is better than at the beginning of the season. This makes him more competitive with Old K.
On March 6, the NCAA regular season ends.
Unfortunately, Dayao's Georgetown University once again failed to reach the March Madness finals.
On March 11, the Lakers played four games against the Trail Blazers.
The Lakers had another winning streak before, and now they still have seven losses. This home game against the Trail Blazers is bound to win.
Unfortunately, both Richmond and Kobe had poor touch, while the opposite was true for the Flying Squirrel and Lydel, so in the end the Lakers lost the game, and the two teams ended in a tie with two wins and two losses.
However, Lao Wang once again suppressed Duncan, not only scoring 46 points on his head, but also preventing Duncan from shooting 6 of 16, with a shooting percentage of only 37.5%.
However, he could only guard one, and Dameng was always strong, scoring 32 points and beating his opponents Te Yinlong Hill and Danny Fortson.
With 53 wins and 8 losses, the Lakers are still first in the league.
At the end of March, Lao Wang took his family to Phoenix and watched the Arizona Diamondbacks' first MLB game.
Colangelo Sr. created a star lineup that was really good. In the first game, he hit 7 home runs and defeated his opponents.
After staying in Phoenix for two days and one night, he and Feige took Dabao to attend banquets held for them by the Colangelo family and the John family respectively.
After receiving a large number of orders from K Times Trading Company, Mrs. John set up a trading company. Now she has become a stable and high-quality supplier of K Times Trading Company. Stable and sustained profits have allowed her family to gain
Taking a breather, my energy began to slowly recover.
Next, the Lakers faced no strong opponents and went on a 21-game winning streak. On April 19, they ended the 1997/98 regular season with 74 wins and 8 losses, the league's best record.
With 74 wins, the Lakers created regular season history, with a winning rate of 90%.
This season, the other five championship-level teams did not disappoint. Although the Knicks, Pacers, Trail Blazers, and Jazz all suffered injuries, only the Celtics did not suffer major injuries.
Each team has a record of more than 60 wins.
Among them, the Knicks won 68 games, the Celtics won 64 games, and the Pacers won 60 games.
The Western Conference Trail Blazers won 69 games and the Jazz won 68 games.
In a single season, there were six teams with 60 wins. This season can be said to be the most competitive season in the history of the league.
All fans, league management, and team owners are full of expectations for the upcoming playoffs.
Fans are looking forward to seeing fierce competition, and management and owners are looking forward to a more exciting playoff market.
Wang Tiejun played in 75 games and was injured in 7 games, averaging 38.5 minutes per game, 38 points, 17.4 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 1.2 steals, 4.3 blocks, 1.9 turnovers and 2.9 fouls.
He continues to defend these three data titles, including scoring, rebounding, and blocks, winning the rebounding and scoring titles for three consecutive years, and the blocks title for two consecutive years.
The Lakers' offensive and defensive system came out in the second half of the season. The team's strength has improved. Everyone needs to take shots and perform, and the offense also needs to be balanced. He can't win the championship alone, so he takes fewer shots, scores less, rebounds and assists.
The data on blocked shots have improved.
He averaged 25.4 shots per game, which was higher than last season's 24.5, and his shooting percentage was 62.2%, which was higher than last season's 61.2%. He averaged 10.1 free throws per game, which was higher than last season's 9.5. His shooting percentage was 62.5%, which was lower than last season.
63%.
In order to compete for MVP this season, he still maintains a high shooting range. Not only at the center position, but also in all positions, his number of shots is one of the best in the league. It is also the most shots in six seasons.
High shots mean high consumption. He is ready to take fewer shots starting from next season. Firstly, it will reduce physical consumption and maintain a longer peak period. Secondly, Kobe should be stronger next season and need to
Add some more shots.
This season, O'Neal only took 19 shots per game and averaged only 28.9 points per game. Jordan only took 21 shots per game. Their physical exertion was smaller than his.
Apart from him, Richmond, after suffering at the beginning of the season, has started to perform normally, averaging 18.8 points per game and shooting 45% from the field. Although his scoring has dropped a lot from last season, there is no way around it. Lao Wang occupies
If you take so many shots, other people's shots will definitely be affected.
Kobe averaged 17 points per game, and his shooting percentage was better than Richmond, reaching 47.1%. Among the main players, he was the most efficient outside player.
Not counting fringe players, among the main rotation players, he is lower than Lao Wang, Chris Mullin's 48%, Te Yin Longhill's 49.8%, and Rick Fox's 47.2%.
