The regular season has entered the last month, and the Sonics have only eight games left before the end of the season, and these eight games happen to be four home games and four away games. , and then one guest and one host.Fastest update[ ]

These eight opponents are all Western teams, and among these eight opponents, the Sonics need to play a home and away game with the Dallas Mavericks and the Houston Rockets respectively, which account for half of the eight games, and the remaining four. The opponents are the San Antonio Spurs, Denver Nuggets, Los Angeles Clippers and Golden State Warriors.

Except for the Los Angeles Clippers and Golden State Warriors, the other teams are all playoff teams, and their status is not particularly secure. Such teams are generally more difficult to play, and the Sonics are the most troublesome. The most important thing is that trip to Texas.

Playing a back-to-back away game with the Dallas Mavericks and Houston Rockets, and then only having a day off, you need to go to the San Antonio Spurs away game. Such a schedule is a serious consideration for any team in the league. , the Sonics are no exception.

At this time, the situation of the Western Conference playoffs has become relatively clear. With the Portland Trail Blazers being kicked out by the Sonics, the remaining fringe teams in the playoffs are only the Utah Jazz who have a chance to make the playoffs , Of course, this requires the Nuggets to give them this opportunity. [ ]

Now the New Orleans Hornets are still No. [-] in the Western Conference. They have secured their place in the playoffs. Although the Seattle SuperSonics and the Los Angeles Lakers, who are ranked No. [-] and No. [-], may fall behind in theory, everyone knows that this is impossible. , The stability of the two teams is very good. If there are no major problems, they will be the top three teams in the Western Conference, and there may be changes in their rankings in the end.

In addition to the three of them belonging to the first echelon, the records of the San Antonio Spurs, Dallas Mavericks, and Houston Rockets are extremely close, and can be regarded as the second echelon. Now the Dallas Mavericks have a slight advantage in record, but it is possible at any time Overtaken by the next two teams.

Because of the three-game losing streak some time ago, the Phoenix Suns fell to the seventh position in the Western Conference, and the gap with the previous three teams is relatively obvious. It can be regarded as the third echelon with the Denver Nuggets and Utah Jazz. ,

The record gap between these three echelons is not big, but the gap between echelon and echelon is more obvious, so the approximate ranking is still unclear, but with only a few games left, any team wants to It is not so easy to break through the gap between the teams.

The New Orleans Hornets have benefited from the recruitment in the first two or three seasons. This season, they can finally put on a decent main lineup. Coupled with the maturity of Chris Paul, this is the reason why the New Orleans Hornets have achieved results this season. main reason. [ ]

The Los Angeles Lakers started to attack by leaps and bounds after getting Pau Gasol, otherwise they might not even be able to enter the second echelon.As for the changes in the Sonics, it is even more obvious, and there is no need to say more here.

Compared with the previous season, these three teams have obviously changed, which is the main reason for their achievements. The top three in Texas have not made any movement this season, but they can still achieve such good results. It is also due to their offensive and defensive balance.

However, their lineup is obviously a little insufficient in the face of the current fierce competition environment, so the performance of their three teams this season is not particularly good, especially the San Antonio Spurs, Stephen's departure is actually very harmful to them. The big one, it's just that ** Weiqi never said it.

In this case, the game between the Supersonics and the Los Angeles Clippers was a bit uneventful. Although the Clippers once entered the playoffs this season, but with the main member Elton Bran Germany, Chris Kaman and Mobley were all plagued by injuries, and their record began to decline all the way, and finally fell to this point.

In the end, the Sonics won the game with a 25-point victory. Affected by the last game, the number of fans entering the game was basically close to the number of the last game. The big win repaid the support of the fans.

Since the New Orleans Hornets and the Los Angeles Lakers also defeated their opponents respectively, the rankings of the three parties still have not changed. At this time, no one will give up easily. .

The Utah Jazz lost their direct confrontation with the Denver Nuggets, which put them one step further away from the playoffs. Although there is still a possibility of entering the playoffs, it is only possible.

Since it is basically impossible to fall out of the ranks of the playoffs, the Sonics immediately began to pre-sale tickets for the first home game of the playoffs. More than 5000 tickets were sold in the first round of sales. The sales staff was very satisfied with the good results, and immediately began to prepare for the second round of sales work.

In order to celebrate the plan to stop the relocation and comfort Stephen, Felietta Martin lived in Stephen's house for several consecutive days, so Stephen also lived a happy life for several days, serving food and daily life during the day, and being a bed partner for Stephen at night After a few days, Stephen felt that the psychological pressure and mental exhaustion accumulated over the season were swept away, and his whole person seemed to have been sublimated.

During the confrontation training in the team, Stephen's good condition made Wilkins very painful, but it made Carlesimo very happy. Unexpectedly, at this time, Stephen's condition was getting better and better, as if he was not affected by the long season This made Carlesimo more confident to deal with the playoffs.

Others didn't understand Stephen's state, and thought that Stephen stepped up his training at this time, and he also stepped up his own training, which made the atmosphere in the team even better. After the training, basically everyone Will take the initiative to stay and practice.

In this state, the Supersonics ushered in the challenge of the Houston Rockets. They were full of confidence and planned to use their offensive frenzy to sweep the Houston Rockets like autumn leaves, but they encountered the Rockets' impregnable walls. Defensively, at the same time, the Rockets reduced the pace of the game to the slowest. Each attack will never take a shot unless it takes 20 seconds. This is how the Sonics are restricted.

The Sonics wanted to bring up the tempo of the game, but the Rockets used their patience to consume the energy of the Sonics bit by bit. No matter how good your offense is, you have to deal with such a slow game when you come back. It depends on who can stick to their own rhythm. As a result, in this regard, the Sonics are obviously not as good as the Rockets.

As long as the Rockets speed up the game, Van Gundy will stand there and yell to slow down the team's rhythm again. Yao Ming and McGrady have both personal ability and cooperation, and they play the rhythm they are used to. , The plight of the Sonics is also conceivable.
