NBA: Start with a Kareem Abdul-Jabbar template card

Chapter 232 I Will
The official Best of the Week is announced in the 22nd week, which is also the first week of April.

The Eastern Conference was won in one fell swoop by Carmelo Anthony, who averaged 41.5 points per game. Last week, he led the team to victory in 4 games, beating Chen Xiao, who led the team to 3 wins in [-] games, to win his second Player of the Week trophy this season.

When it was announced, with the mentality of "I'm not interested in the Best of the Week trophy", Chen Xiao took a look at the players on the poster and thought, oh, isn't this my brother Gua?

In a battle with the Miami Heat, he scored 50 points to tie his career high;
Scored another 40 points in a back-to-back game against the Hawks;
Facing the Milwaukee Bucks, he continued his crazy performance, scoring 40 consecutive points and 14 rebounds;
The day before the three-day break, in the battle with the Thunder, the score "dropped" to 36 points, plus 12 rebounds.

Coincidentally, after 36 points suppressed Durant, who only scored 27 points per game, which was less than his season average, Anthony even pushed Durant off the "scoring king" throne and sat on it himself.

Chen Xiao, who won all 3 games and scored 40 points against the Heat, admired Gua Ge's explosive performance for a week, but could only accept the defeat. They were all quality games and strong.

……

Crazy Three took a short break for one day, and while everyone was singing the touching and exciting story of Will and the national superman Hancock, the NBA league rekindled the war and entered the final 10 days of sprint.

Almost all of the top six teams in the Eastern Conference played. The Nets beat Philadelphia and the Pacers beat the Cavaliers. Anthony, who scored 6 points in a row without losing 6% of his field goal percentage, consolidated his advantage as the scoring leader and led the team to a stunning victory over the Wizards.

The Eastern Conference, which was the first to open, was a showdown with clearly defined strengths and weaknesses. They all involved big players versus small players. Although there were twists and turns based on strength, they were still successfully won.

Only the Bulls failed to continue their pursuit of points in the end and lost to the Raptors by 3 points.However, in the East, where the positions are clearly defined, the Heat are on top, the Bobcats and Knicks are second and third, the Pacers and Nets are uncertain about fourth and fifth, and the Celtics are stuck in eighth place.

The only thing left for the two teams is six or seven. If you can't go up, you won't go down. It doesn't matter if you lose one more game and win one less.

In the only meeting between the East and the West that day, the Bobcats and Grizzlies, both with 52 wins and 25 losses, faced off for the second time this season in Memphis.

At the beginning of the season, the Grizzlies, who lost to Charlotte, were trying to match the Spurs and Thunder in the top half under the watchful eyes of the folks at home. They both swept the Bobcats, so they couldn't be swept by the Bobcats, and their record was the same as theirs. The Clippers, who were in the midst of a fierce battle, also tied with the Bobcats at 1 win and 1 loss.

The Grizzlies, who exerted all their strength, used meat grinder-like confrontation and defense to lock down the Bobcats' shooting, limiting the Bobcats' shooting percentage outside the paint area to less than 3%, and only 1% outside the three-point line. He reached an outstanding level and successfully repelled the cats, ensuring his glory in the top half of the Western Conference.

The Bobcats were 52-27 after losing to the Grizzlies, and the Knicks were 51-26 after easily defeating the Wizards. I originally thought that the Bobcats would sit firmly at the top of the Eastern Conference, second only to the league's only 60-win Heat. After the scoring performance, things quietly changed.

The Heat's top spot is unshakable, while the Pacers and Nets can only compete for fourth place.

2013-04-15, the penultimate day of the regular season, the Bobcats and Knicks face off for the last time in the regular season, which may determine the home court advantage of the two teams in the playoffs.

There is some competition here in the East, but not fiercely. The top eight spots have been finalized after the Bucks' consecutive losses. Since then, there have only been fine-tuning of the home court advantage.

In the Western Conference, the competition for the remaining playoff spots among 50-win rivals is in full swing, with the Warriors, Mosaic, Lakers, and Jazz all participating.

Chen Xiao didn't pay much attention to Mosaic. In the last game Mosaic lost miserably to the Nuggets, Chen Xiao didn't pay attention. However, Mi Dou, who looked horrified, shared a shocking news for Chen Xiao.

Harden made 10 of 10 free throws in the game.

That's it?This is not a basic operation, Chen Xiao said. Just So So. By the way, you have almost watched Harden's game for a season. Have you learned anything? When Chen Xiao asked Mi Dou, Mi Dou took out a heavy record. .

After making 10 free throws in a game, Harden also officially surpassed "Prophet" Moses Malone and became the single-season free throw leader in Mosaic history with 631 free throws in a single season.

In just one season, in the eyes of Houston fans, Harden has gone from being the best sixth man similar to his predecessor Martin to the cornerstone of the team who "helps the team win with one point and one point."

In this game against the underdog Suns led by "Diamond" Scola and Dragic, Harden once again became the team's savior.

太阳凭借斯科拉20中12的高效命中率以及同样6成命中率拿到15+10德拉季奇一度将胜场接近自己两倍的强敌逼到墙角。

In the last 2 minutes, Jeremy Lin scored 13 points in a row to tie the score at 4 after scoring 4 of 98 in the last [-] minutes. Jeremy Lin, whose supporters were disappointed and thought it was another unmagical game.

In the last 9 seconds, there was a mosaic of ball rights and the last attack. Although Jeremy Lin scored consecutive points and performed well, it was obvious that after nearly a season of undercurrents, Harden, who was already the cornerstone of the game, naturally took the key ball rights.

With the score evenly divided, Harden, who had already made 7 of 1 three-pointers, still chose to take a three-pointer, which made the fans in Toyota Center and in front of the screen sweat and doubt in their hearts.

The basketball was shot, rowed towards the basket, hit the basket and bounced high.

In the process of falling, O'Neal reached out to dial the ball.

The red light symbolizing the end of the game lights up. This goal is the last goal in regular time. Will it end the game or drag it into overtime?

When president David Jones blew the whistle, was it Harden who missed the shot?Or is Xiao Ao interfering with the ball?Right there in the final verdict.

Watch the tape, protest, watch the tape, go through the process, and the result is, "The ball is inside the cylinder and on the rim."

With Jeremy Lin's redemption paving the way, Harden ascended the throne and became Houston's savior.

Mosaic made a near miss with a controversial 3-pointer to beat the opponent. The Jazz, who were starting the game at the same time, made steady progress according to Chen Xiao's pre-judged plan and lost to the Thunder by a small margin.

21+12+9和25+5，杜兰特和威斯布鲁克交换定位。

Durant, who scored accurate three-pointers and was extremely comprehensive, was pulled down by "15" points by Anthony, who was running towards the scoring title. Counting the entire season, it is equivalent to averaging close to 0.2 points per game.The Thunder-Jazz game ended, and the Chinese fans on the other side of the ocean became a sea of ​​joy.

The Bobcats don’t have to worry about losing, and Mosaic, which has a solid foundation in the country, also relied on its own wins, the loss of the Jazz, a potential opponent for a playoff spot, and its own season-long hard work to keep up with the Warriors, Jazz, and Lakers. With their opponents' record, Mosaic was able to secure playoff qualification for the first time in four years.

In the previous three seasons, although Mosaic had a positive record in each season and a winning rate of more than 5%, the wild west they were in left them only one step away from the playoffs. One step away but a huge chasm.

The last time they entered the playoffs, it was an unforgettable memory for domestic fans. In the 09-10 season, the law that Yao and Mai could not fit together came into being at important moments. In the absence of McGrady, Yao Ming led the team alone to face the Trail Blazers.

Yao Ming averaged close to 16+11 per game. Without McGrady, he defeated the Trail Blazers 4-2 and reached the second round for the first time in his career, proving himself.

After breaking the first-round curse, Yao Ming led his teammates who all performed well in the first round to challenge the Los Angeles Lakers, who were determined to win the championship this season.

In G1, 5 minutes before the end of the game, Yao Ming collided with Kobe Bryant's knee. Yao Ming fell to the ground and could only return to the locker room with the help of the team doctor.Just when the fans thought that the repeated experience was happening again, that they had made a breakthrough but still had to fall back into the rut of fate, Yao Ming, who returned to the battlefield after holding on to the wall and doing a few simple stretches, deeply imprinted his stalwart body into In the hearts of the fans, Yao Ming, who staged the return of the king, stabilized the game in the end. With 28+10 in the game, he led Mosaic to defeat a strong opponent in the Western Conference semifinals and won the first game.

强撑伤体的代价便是此后两场比赛的状态受到影响，尽管两场还是能贡献“12+10”、“19+14”的不差表现，但球队还是难敌拥有两场合砍73分的科比和身边一直有一位差不多20+10加索尔或者奥多姆的湖人，两连败。

Subsequently, Mosaic's Optimus Pillar collapsed and Yao Ming was reimbursed. Although Heidou and other substitute players stepped forward to drag the game into a tiebreaker, they were ultimately limited by the gap in physical strength and stopped in the Western Conference semifinals.

Mosaic, which lacked Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady, battled to the tiebreaker with the Lakers, the championship team that year. This was the closest Yao Yao ever had to a championship.

If they surpass the Lakers, Martin and Nene's Nuggets play inside in the Western Conference Finals, and the "eat, sleep, and play Doudou" Warcraft in the Finals, Houston's spacecraft is really likely to complete the third time in history.Being in fifth place, the mosaic in the lower half will once again prove that "don't underestimate the heart of a championship."

Mosaic has entered the playoffs again after many years. After the fans recalled the last regrettable journey under the leadership of Yao Ming, they naturally thought of the other member of the team - Tracy McGrady.

McGrady, who has not broken through the first round of the playoffs in 8 years of leading the team in his career, is extremely embarrassed. He couldn't do it with you, but he still managed to do it without you. You must know that in the first round series, the Trail Blazers were not weaklings. Roy was in his prime and on the court. An average of 26.7 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, and Ade is not far behind, with 19.5+7.5. Although the efficiency of the two is low, the contribution of production to the game is still here.

It remains to be seen whether Tracy McGrady, who is another "partner" of the Eastern Giants in the Bobcats formation, can take advantage of the Bobcats' express train to complete his breakthrough.

Kutang scored 54 points to set a good example for the Jazz, leading the team to an easy victory over the Timberwolves.

After the Warriors and Mosaic won both, the 16 playoff spots in the Eastern and Western Conferences have been almost all taken, leaving only the last spot in the Western Conference.

The Lakers, Jazz, and Mavericks will compete for this last spot.

The first thing the Lakers have to do is to win the easiest opponent in the last five games, a must-win 1 point.

At the end of the first half, 45:50, the home team was in the lead. The Lakers were behind the New Orleans Hornets, who were fiercely competing with the Suns and Kings for the No. [-] spot at Staples Arena.

Gordon, who scored 23 points and 12 rebounds in the first half of the game, defeated Kesao.

5中1仅得4分还有3次失误的黑曼巴本场状态松弛，面对弱旅，上半场久违的休息了超过6分钟。

But this is not the normal Kobe during this period. Inaccurate touch and making mistakes are common things for Kobe, but it is not him who takes few shots.

In the third quarter, the Lakers worked hard to suppress their opponents. Kobe didn't make a shot until the last 30 seconds, hitting a three-pointer to tie the score.

Kobe Bryant, who played the full third quarter, took 2 shots, hit 1 three-pointer and scored 3 points. Although the statistics were mediocre, the Black Mamba, who had already recovered on the court, was hunting.

Kobe, who started the game at the beginning of the final quarter, was already going to play the entire second half. With responsibility for the team and anger at his poor state, Kobe, who had performed personal heroism countless times, was fully fired up, and he dominated the team with 5 points in 44 minutes and 14 seconds. , scored 23 points and 3 steals in a single quarter. After scoring 18 points in the last quarter to help the team reverse the Hornets, Kobe once again convinced his opponent with an extra 23 points.

30+6+6的科比，以超过6成5命中率合砍40+，外有17个篮板8次助攻5个封盖的双塔，帮助球队下半场发力逆转对手，完成冲刺季后赛五场中计划内的首胜。

The Lakers, who are back half a game ahead of the Jazz and two and a half games ahead of the Mavericks, are in the lead in the battle for the final playoff spot. They can decide their own destiny without having to rely solely on others.

The next day, back-to-back games came to the Rose Garden Arena. A gloomy-faced Kobe was in full form from the first minute, with full firepower.

In the first half, he made a sudden outside shot in 24 minutes and made 17 of 9 shots and 10 free throws. He scored 28 points in the half against Lillard who also scored 25 points. The Trail Blazers, who were more accurate in three-pointers, entered the home court with an 8-point lead. Second half.

This year's young people are all monsters. The thick eyebrows of the Twin Towers were not inferior to those of the Twin Towers in the last game. Lillard can compete with Kobe in this game, not to mention Chen Xiao, who is making waves inside the Lakers. The best rookie this year is Kobe. And the Lakers are impressed.

But the young man still lacked strength. Lillard, who made 11 of 3 shots in the second half, was defeated. Despite the chants of "Beat LA" and boos to himself in the Rose Garden, he still maintained a 8% shooting percentage. Kobe Bryant spent the second half fighting desperately and made 19 more free throws, all of which were successful, and scored another 23 points. Together with the Twin Towers, who combined for 10 points, 6 rebounds and 15 assists in the second half, they completed a [-]-point reversal.

Kobe Bryant, who scored a season-high 47 points, also helped the Lakers win back-to-back games for the first time this season, completing the first phase of their goal of defeating the Hornets and Portland.

Among the other two opponents, the Jazz took a truce. The Mavericks, who also played, lost to the underdog Suns and were the first to fall behind. King Nuo, who was in a sluggish state and had a one-third shooting percentage, also witnessed his rookie season and the team's failure. They missed the playoffs for the first time, and the only remaining contenders for the last spot were the Lakers and Jazz, who were narrowly behind.

For the Lakers, the victory over the Trail Blazers was one joy, and the Spurs' loss to the Nuggets on the same day was a second joy.

Although this defeat will result in giving up the first place in the Western Conference, and the Thunder's follow-up schedule will be easier. If they lose the first place in the Western Conference, they may not come back. However, the Spurs, who are still preparing for the playoffs, sent a good signal to the Lakers. .

“I will lead the Lakers to the playoffs” is going on.
