I really play basketball

Chapter 179 The regular season is over

After defeating the Spurs at home, Lin Xing re-entered the sewer.

This season, the number of accumulated triple-doubles has increased once more, stopping at the number of 31.

Only 41 times away from the Big O's record of 10 triple-doubles in a single season.

The Warriors still have 28 games to play in the regular season.

Originally, the brick journalists had already begun to regret or gloat:
The arrival of Dennis Rodman has ruined the University's triple-double season.

As a result, in this game against the Spurs, they saw Rodman's deliberate handicap.

After the game, Rodman did not mention why he gave up.

This gave the group of brick journalists room to speculate wildly——

"Rodman gave way to Stadt. What did Stadt do? Or what did Don Nelson do?"

"Could it be that Don Nelson did something, it should be Star, he beat Rodman!"

These brick-and-mortar reporters feel that rebounding is too important to Rodman.

How important is it?Last season, Rodman was considered to play the only meaning is rebounding.

In this game, Rodman has started to give up, so what's the point of his appearance?

As soon as this conclusion came out, they could easily conclude that Rodman would give the board, and it must be something the Warriors did.

Either Old Nelson overwhelmed Rodman, or Lin Xing overwhelmed Rodman.

Regarding these unfounded guesses, Lin Xing was speechless.

After the Spurs game, before the game against the Kings at home, Lin Xing, who usually refused reporters thousands of miles, rarely accepted an interview.

Just to explain a few words:
"I just had a few chats with Dennis, on the condition that I pass the ball to him more, in exchange for him to give me the board..."

As a result, the group of reporters standing in front of him had expressions of "Are you kidding me?"

Anyway, I think that Lin Xing's so-called chatting with Rodman is actually giving Rodman a few punches.

Seeing that he couldn't explain, Lin Xing could only spread his hands, turned around and left.

But the reporters asked: "Did you ask Dennis Rodman to give you the board in order to get a triple-double?"

As soon as the word "swipe" came out, Lin Xing knew that he had to answer this question.

"No, it's not just for the triple-double. You should know that the basis of the Warriors' offensive style is to hit the whirlwind, and the most representative and easiest way to score the whirlwind is to counterattack."

"If you want to play an easy counterattack, the best way is for me to grab the rebound..."

Lin Xing gave a very reasonable explanation, and he did not shy away from his pursuit of a triple-double.

Except for those natural Lin Hei reporters, the rest feel that there is no problem.

After all, being able to get a triple-double is Lin Xing's skill.

As long as he can lead the team to win while getting a triple-double, then it's fine.

Like Derek Coleman, later Zach Randolph, and Kevin Love during the Timberwolves period, why are they considered data brushes?

Because they have excellent personal data while their records are poor.

It is even very obvious that some records have been sacrificed for the sake of data, which is considered a data brush.

But what about Lin Xing?In addition to averaging a triple-double in the season, the team has a record of 44 wins and 10 losses, ranking first in the league.

If this is a data brush, then there is no such thing as a brush in this alliance.

After winning the Spurs, the time passed in February.

In February, Lin Xing, who led the team to another long-wave winning streak, only lost back-to-back Spurs in the entire February, was the best player of the month in a row.

And when the season enters March, the regular season is about to sprint.

The 44-10 Warriors have enough leads that they don't need much sprinting.

In March, the Warriors went step by step and won a game against the Kings first.

After that, the Knicks came to challenge at home. This game can be said to be another strong matchup.

but……

In the past, the Warriors were able to restrain the Knicks in style, and now there is another Rodman.

The rebounds, which might have been a small loss, now suppressed the Knicks in turn.

As a result, the Warriors ushered in another big victory at home.

In this big victory, Lin Xing entered the sewer again and recorded three triple-doubles in a row.

His promise to Rodman has always been valid.

In this game, even with Ewing inside, Lin Xing also helped Rodman score a big double-double with 16 points, 16 rebounds, 3 steals and 1 cap.

Consecutive double-doubles, Rodman has some regrets.

"Sorry, sorry I didn't come sooner!"

"Why did I have to rest for two months when I stepped on the horse..."

What Rodman regrets is that if he joined the Warriors earlier and accepted Lin Xing's cake earlier, Rodman could even compete for the best team this season.

Don't look at Rodman always clocking out of get off work, it's because he thinks it's enough for him to clock out.

But now, Lin Xing used a skillful inward feed to tell Rodman:

He just needs to work a little harder to win more time.

Rodman is on fire...

The winning streak will eventually end one day, defeating the Knicks, and the winning streak has reached 13 games.

The next day, they played against the Nuggets in an away game, and the state of the Warriors team fell to the bottom.

All kinds of blacksmithing, smashed the timer at the Pepsi Center in Denver.

The Warriors therefore ushered in an unplanned loss, ending this long winning streak.

But the next day, he returned to the home court and faced the Pacers who came to challenge him.

Lin Xing switched defenses and locked Reggie Miller, and the Warriors won easily.

There was no losing streak, and at the same time restarted another long winning streak.

This long streak includes the Warriors' third game of the season against the Sonics.

Compared with losing the first game and winning the second game with Lin Xing's explosive seed, it is much easier for the Warriors to win this game.

Lin Xing continued to lock Payton in the matchup, although he was also cooperating with Kemp by Payton, and he was well defended.

After one game, only 23 points were scored.

But Lin Xing's pass was not blocked, and the Warriors did everything possible to get Rodman, why?
Is it just for Rodman's rebound?Just to let Rodman eat pie?
In terms of rebounds, Lin Xinggatling, Longleaga, and the old chiefs added Tyrone Hill of the Spurs. The rebound protection is enough.

As for eating pie, isn't Gatling's pie eating enough?

Rodman was traded for his defense.

Previously, the media believed that the only meaning of Rodman's presence on the court was to grab rebounds, which was too superficial.

In fact, Rodman's rebounding is just one of his outstanding points.

He is more important to the team, or help defense, and single defense.

There is no need to mention Rodman's auxiliary defense and supplementary defense. His single defense is worth talking about.

Just talking about single defense, Rodman can't defend against real centers.

So in the original historical line, when the admiral asked him to guard against Dameng, he replied: Can't you defend yourself?
He can't guard against those power forwards who are strong and rely on their body and strength.

So after the Bulls' two consecutive rounds, he was blown away by Karl Malone.

What he can defend against is a power forward like Kemp who depends on his body's flexibility.

Kemp was terribly defended by Rodman, and the old Nelson on the sidelines was very satisfied.

His original intention of trading Rodman has been achieved.

Defeated the Sonics, and also played a game against the Hornets, a wave of six consecutive victories.

Until mid-March, the Warriors played home and away against the Rockets.

In the first away game, the Warriors lost.

"Hakeem Olajuwon is too strong, he went through the inside of the Warriors alone,

Of course, this also combined with Robert Horry's continuous outside shots, forcing Dennis Rodman to not enter the penalty area at all, and he was unable to help defend the dream. "

After Otis Thorpe left, the Rockets' starting power forward became Robert Horry——

A power forward who can shoot threes and has a big heart.

His existence has prevented many teams from forming a lineup that can calmly defend against the big dream.

This game is a typical example. Rodman must defend Horry's three-pointer and cannot enter the penalty area at all.

Dameng killed all directions in the restricted area and quickly led his teammates.

The away game lost first, followed by the home game, the Warriors adjusted a wave.

Madman went to the bench and Chris Gatlin started.

The inside line is Longley + Gatlin, Rodman changed to the third position, and Lin Xing and Mullin formed the back line together.

With an extremely large lineup, the old Nelson's purpose is self-evident, just to withstand the impact of the big dream.

As a result, the Warriors did hold up.

和前一场轰下37分14个篮板6个助攻2个抢断4个大帽的大梦比，这场比赛大梦就只有27分11个篮板4个助攻2个抢断2个盖帽入账，已经算是被防住了。

Relying on this extremely large lineup, the Warriors won at home, but the victory was more tragic.

In the first three quarters, Lin Xing, as usual, combined internal and external, and made more shots in the CIC.

But playing, he found that although the game was anxious, the situation had been firmly controlled by the Rockets.

If the fight continues like this, the Warriors will undoubtedly lose.

If you want to break the situation, you must have the belief that you can't break it.

So, in the fourth quarter, Lin Xing turned around and began to attack the penalty area.

Attacking the restricted area guarded by Dameng, it sounds like delivering food.

But in the end, Lin Xing succeeded.

On the one hand, the game was a bit of a home whistle, plus Lin Xing's star whistle, he went in, and Dameng was a little afraid to reach out.

On the other hand, an anxious game has reached the final stage, both Dameng and Lin Xing are actually exhausted.

The young Lin Xingqiang took a deep breath, Dameng was getting old and the audience was double-teamed.

In the end, he was hit by the young Lin Xing in various ways, and he really couldn't stand it.

Therefore, the away game lost first, and the Warriors who returned home won again.

They played against each other three times in the regular season, and the Warriors had 2 wins and 1 loss, but they still had the upper hand.

Old Nelson knew that this advantage was really not worth mentioning.

It's still the regular season right now, but when it comes to the playoffs, the situation will change as soon as the intensity of the competition increases.

And don't forget, this season, the Warriors and the Rockets still have a game to play.

But this game proved one thing——

To play the Rockets, a big lineup is useful.

……

In March, the Warriors' schedule is a bit tight.

In just one month, 16 games have to be played.

After playing the Rockets, the Warriors continued to face difficult back-to-back consecutive away games.

Although the opponents are not very strong, the back-to-back schedule is too exhausting.

Old Nelson also knew this, so he found various reasons and various rotations.

After the rest, the team's physical condition has remained good.

It is because of this that they lost a few games that they should not have lost. For example, the Warriors lost in back-to-back games against the Nets.

Large shifts, physical exhaustion.

Although Lin Xing played steadily, the overall state of the team was poor. They couldn't defend Derek Coleman and Kenny Anderson, who were already all-stars, and it was reasonable to lose.

Including the fourth game of the season against the Sonics, the Warriors also lost.

In the case of a large rotation, Payton has nothing to be proud of even if he wins a game against Lin Xing.

After the game, the two put down a sentence: "See you in the playoffs!"

Let's bring the topic to daily life...

In April, the Warriors still have 12 games to play.

However, most of the opponents are weak, and only one Rocket deserves attention.

Up to the most, plus a Lakers game.

When the opponents are not strong, the Warriors will further rotate.

Only in the game against the Rockets, they used all their strength.

"Although this season, the Rockets' record can only be ranked sixth in the Western Conference, but that's because they lost too many games that they shouldn't have lost in the first half of the season."

"The so-called winning first is not considered winning, and winning later is called winning. The Rockets, who are in hot form in the second half of the season, still cannot be underestimated..."

"If nothing else, they will still be the strongest team in the Western Conference this season."

Because the Rockets have been regarded as the strongest and biggest opponent in the West, the old Nelson's attention is also for the playoffs.

This game was regarded by him as a preview of the playoffs, and he was on a big lineup again. Compared with the third match in the regular season, there was no change.

But in this game, the Warriors lost...

Lin Xing hit the penalty area, like Erxianqiao, only created a little threat.

It was very different from the third game of the regular season when they completely broke through the inside of the Rockets. From the beginning to the end of the game, Dameng firmly controlled the situation on the court.

The Rockets won because of this. Although the score was tight, the Warriors never really gained an advantage from beginning to end.

Such a powerful suppressing force really made old Nelson feel desperate.

"So, in the era of insiders, is it really impossible without an excellent center?"

He rubbed his chin, not quite convinced.

Of course, the main reason is that the time has come to the end of the season.

At this time, he couldn't find a center forward who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Dameng.

What else can I do if I don't bite the bullet and rush forward?

After losing the Rockets, the Warriors didn't lose any more games throughout April.

Including two victories against the Mavericks, another victory over the Lakers...

The winning streak all the way ended the journey of the 1994-1995 regular season.

"67 wins and 15 losses, the Warriors rank first in the regular season, regardless of the playoffs, at least the regular season, they are about to usher in a bumper year!"

67胜15负的战绩，加上林星出战77场比赛，场均27.1分10.7个篮板10.4个助攻2.4个抢断2.0个盖帽的数据。

And, 50 triple-doubles throughout the season, surpassing Big O9 times, breaking the record for the number of triple-doubles in a single season in the NBA.

Furthermore, direct competitors——

3 wins and 1 loss against the Spurs, double-kill Magic, double-kill Knicks, although 2 wins and 2 losses against the Jazz, but Lin Xing played 3 wins and 2 loss in the 1 games he played.

As long as there are opponents who can threaten Lin Xing in terms of record, Lin Xing will have the upper hand when they fight against each other.

All kinds of factors superimpose, this MVP is not given to Lin Xing, it is outrageous!
