You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 409 A Crushing Step of Victory

The Lakers, who defeated the Houston Rockets, were able to end their journey in March with eight consecutive victories.

The past March was not only the crazy March of the NCAA, but also the crazy March of the Lakers.

At the beginning of March, they suffered a losing streak and fell to tenth in the Western Conference. It seemed that they were in danger, and it happened again yesterday, but after Wei Xia came back, the Lakers came back to life.

Starting from defeating the Nuggets, the eight-game winning streak harvested March.

Kobe Bryant's performance has been mixed, some people like his performance, some people don't like it.Looking at his performance in every game in March, except for something wrong with the Grizzlies and Rockets at the end of the month, in other games, he tried his best to lose, and Kerry won all games. Without him, even if Weixia returns, the Lakers may suffer a complete defeat in March.

What is the basis for saying that?
这艰难困苦的14场比赛，科比用45.5%的命中率场均轰下40.5分6.2篮板4.6助攻。

Kobe Bryant averaged 40 points per game in the third month, and he also performed like this, and was elected the best player in the Western Conference in March with little suspense.

April, the final month of the regular season.

The Lakers still have ten games left, and they have reached seventh in the Western Conference. If they can win enough victories in the remaining ten games, they can still rank among the top six in the Western Conference.

At the beginning of the month, Wei Xia went to the hospital again for an examination.

The results showed that his injured ankle had fully healed and there was nothing to worry about.

This is excellent news.

During a date with Elaine Trovis before the April game, Versia wanted to take Kim Direcht's advice and take a proactive approach.

As a result, he almost lost the capital to have children.

When he tried to get closer and kissed Trovis without a license, he kicked him in the stomach.It wasn't intentional, it was purely instinctive.

From this, Wei Xia learned that Trovis would practice Taekwondo when he was free.

Level Well, Level 4 Blue Ribbon.

Although it is far from the violent heroines in various film and television dramas who can get out of the ninth-dan black belt at every turn, it is already quite dangerous for people like Wei Xia who never fights much and only knows how to fight and touch porcelain.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to," Trovis said guiltily.

Wei Xia clutched his convulsed stomach and said forcefully, "It's okay, at least I know you are a taekwondo master."

He should be lucky, if Trovis's feet were below his belly, it would be a big disaster.

In early April, the Lakers' first game against the Sacramento Kings.

The Kings, who have been determined to miss the playoffs, are a rather embarrassing team. Their record is not comparable to other bad teams, but even if they win all in April, they will not be able to enter the top eight in the Western Conference.

If the opponent Ou is the Lakers, they are willing to use all their strength to disgust their opponents, but when the game is over, they are more disgusted.

Bryant's March Madness earned him the treat of double-teaming the ball.

Kobe, who was already mentally prepared, made full use of the opponent's double-teaming. He had 14 assists in a single game and scored less than 20 points. However, Weixia scored 38 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, leading the team to a 129-101 victory over the Kings.

The Lakers, who have won nine consecutive victories, are approaching the sixth position in the Western Conference. If they continue to win like this, even the Rockets, currently ranked fifth, will not be stable.

Each team in the West has its own thoughts, and each team has a best first-round target in their minds.

The Spurs want to touch the Nuggets the most, the Suns want to touch the Lakers the most, and avenge last year. Of course, the Jazz want to find the Rockets.As far as the Lakers are concerned, they have no idea of ​​picking their opponents, because they were ranked tenth in the Western Conference not long ago, and what they have to do now is to keep their qualification for the playoffs, and they can play against anyone.

Oh, by the way, there are also the Mavericks, who have beaten all the invincible players in the league. They have gone a long way towards the first record in the league during another winning streak.

In the first round, they don't care who they play against. If they have to choose one, it must be the Warriors of the team's former head coach Don Nelson.It's not that I look down on the warriors, but I just want to give the old man a favor, anyway, anyone who encounters them will be crushed.

No. [-] in the West is so confident.

Defeating the Kings, the Lakers take no rest.

The next day, they played back-to-back against the Nuggets with golden guns.

The Nuggets fought hard to keep the sixth place in the Western Conference, and almost everyone played an excellent performance.

Anthony's 35 points and Kobe Bryant formed a mutual explosive trend. Iverson was restricted by Wecha, but he also scored 20 points.

Marcus Cam was like Bill Russell with 20 points, 21 rebounds and 5 blocks.

Looking at the data of these people, the Nuggets have no reason to lose.

As a result, they lost, and the final gap was only 1 point.

For the Lakers, Kobe scored 40 points with [-]% shooting, and he had the upper hand in the duel with Anthony.

Odom scored 15 points, 14 rebounds and 15 assists in a Jason Kidd-style large triple-double.

The most unexpected flash point for the Nuggets is Wei Xia.

After Kobe, he scored 34 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists.

Five of the Nuggets scored in double figures, and the Lakers only had three. The Nuggets, who had the right time and place, eventually lost the game.

The Denver people collapsed, and the Lakers won ten consecutive victories.

At the beginning, some people discovered that the people who should be valued by the Lakers are not only Kobe, but also Wei Xia.

Since dominating games in overtime at the end of March, he's been in another state.

In the third game in April, the last game of the regular season between the Lakers and the Clippers in the same city, Wei Xia scored 30 points again in Kobe's slump.

The Lakers beat the Clippers by 3 points, surpassed the Nuggets, and rose to sixth in the Western Conference.

The ecology of the west is different from that of the east.

The top eight teams can roughly be divided into three grades.

Niu Rima is the first echelon, and there is another level of existence in terms of record and combat power.

The Jazz and the Rockets, the life-and-death enemies who love and kill each other, are the core combat power in the middle.

After the top five, the Lakers, Nuggets, Warriors, Clippers, etc. are all third echelons.

The Lakers originally belonged to the middle echelon, internal injuries, poor management signings, Kobe Bryant's failure to transition in the middle of the season and other reasons made them turn around and drop to tenth in the Western Conference to start from scratch.

But now, they have reached the forefront of the third echelon again, eyeing the Rockets and Jazz in the middle.

If the Lakers continue to maintain the current winning percentage, he will undoubtedly return to the middle echelon and completely change the playoff layout of the Jazz and Rockets.

Soon, the Lakers ushered in the fourth game in April.

The Seattle SuperSonics, who have no hope of playing in the playoffs at all, are already one of the favorites for the top three picks. They are going all out against the Lakers and want to end their winning streak.

Kobe played hard and scored 46 points, sending away the bad-hearted Seattleites.

Wei Xia, who scored 30 points in a row, only scored 19 points today. He was blasted by Chris Wilcox.

The Lakers, who have won [-] consecutive victories, have encountered the biggest test.

The Suns, who stood in front of them to stop them from advancing, fought the Lakers to death with the idea of ​​playing a playoff game.

"Tonight's game may change the Suns' playoff strategy more or less. Do they really want to meet the Lakers?"

This battle is very similar to the previous game between the Lakers and the Nuggets.

The five Suns scored in double figures, and three of them scored more than 20 points. Nash even broke Weixia's "Nash Terminator" magic barrier and efficiently scored 24 points and 15 assists.

The Lakers still only had three players scoring in double figures.

Kobe's steady 34 points, 14 rebounds and 4 assists alone have overwhelmed any guard or wing in the Suns.

Odom's large triple-double of 22+12+13 shows that he has returned to his excellent state at the beginning of the season.

It was Wei Xia who made Phoenix feel uneasy.

"Steve Nash's Terminator is not the most suitable nickname for Wish. The most suitable title for him should be 'Phoenix Hunter'. How do you explain his amazing performance against the Suns?"

Against the Suns, Wei Xia's performance concentrated in the second and third quarters.

In the second quarter, 20 points in a single quarter, in the fourth quarter, another 20 points in a single quarter, the total score of the other two quarters is only 4 points.

With 44 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists in the game, Wei Xia attracted countless media interviews with his best performance in the game that inspired Los Angeles.

The media asked him why he always kills Phoenix.

His answer was very humble: "I want to know the answer too, but I don't know."

The sun that was shot down announced the Lakers' [-]-game winning streak. They thus broke away from the third echelon and climbed to the middle echelon. The Jazz and Rockets can already see the menacing waves coming.

No one knows how long their winning streak will last.

Bryant's hope: "Winning streak until the end of the regular season."

The Lakers really pushed forward with this goal at full speed. Their morale and chemical reaction have risen to the highest point, just like another Mavericks who have been beaten in the regular season and are worried.

After a random killing, he was covered in blood, and behind him were the corpses of more than a dozen losers.

"Who else?"

"Who else can stop the Lakers winning streak?"

Questions from the media resounded across the United States, and the Lakers went on a [-]-game winning streak with a destructive momentum.

In the final game of the 2006-07 regular season, the team stuck in front of them was the Golden State Warriors.

The Warriors have secured No.8 in the West, so winning or losing doesn't matter to them.

The Lakers have something to say.

The success or failure of this battle is related to whether they will face the Spurs in the first round as the sixth in the Western Conference, or whether they will face the Jazz in the first round as the fourth in the Western Conference.

How to choose the Spurs and Jazz?
Needless to say!
The Lakers beat the Warriors with all their strength and ended the regular season with an [-]-game winning streak.

At the same time, it also caused huge changes in the first round matchup of the middle and upper classes in the West.
