Chapter 242 242. The end of the regular season! NBA Lin Daiyu!Kevin touches porcelain king Martin! (8K words)
Bogut, the No. [-] pick in [-], was reimbursed for the second season in three years, which caused a lot of heated discussions in the league.

In particular, Bogut's two season reimbursements were all against the teams coached by Luke, and Luke's consistent style in the league, this matter is still attracting attention from the outside world.

Many fans are discussing whether Luke and Bogut have any grudges in private, otherwise why Bogut is so unlucky, always reimbursed for the season in the game with Luke.

Although the referee judged that the injury was an accident, Bogut accidentally stepped on the instep of Gerald Wallace when he landed, which caused the ankle to twist 90 degrees and was reimbursed for the season ahead of schedule.

But the combination of the two coincidences makes it hard for fans to believe that this is really just an accident, and the Grizzlies' method against Bogut in the first quarter is also very obvious.

Otherwise, with Bogut's offensive level this season, the Grizzlies don't have to double-team Bogut and let Michael Reed and Mo Williams attack. This defensive strategy looks like a target.

It is worth mentioning that for Bogut's accidental injury, the team's head coach Kwiak only regretted it after the game, but did not express any anger or doubt.

Some reporters even found that Kwiak was still excited after losing the game, as if the loss and loss of the game not only did not make Kwiak feel depressed, but also made Kwiak very upset. Satisfaction really confused the reporters on the scene.

As for the Bucks general manager John Hammond, he still has that fiery temper. After Bogut was injured, Hammond immediately complained to the media about Luke's evil deeds.

He bluntly said that he would apply to the league for an appeal, and asked for a speech on Bogut's injury.

This is the second time that Hammond has publicly bombarded Luke on the Internet. The last time was also after Bogut was reimbursed for the season.

Although Bogut hasn't made much progress in the past two years, as the player who was finally selected by the Bucks with the No. [-] pick, Bogut is still given a lot of high hopes by the Bucks management.

Even though the Bucks management's patience with Bogut has become less and less this season, Bogut still has the title of No. [-] pick on his head. In exchange for some valuable chips.

But now Bogut is reimbursed for the second season of his career, which undoubtedly makes Bogut's career prospects worse and worse.

Next season will be the last year of Bogut's rookie contract. Bogut is like this, even if the Bucks management wants to trade him out this summer, it may be difficult to get too rich chips.

For Hammond, whose position as general manager is shaky, Luke is simply a evil star!

However, Luke didn't take Hammond's excitement seriously. The last time Hammond publicly stated that he would apply for an appeal to the league and asked Luke to give the Bucks an explanation, but after a while, it was finally nothing. .

As a commercial league, the NBA always puts interests first. Although Luke has caused troubles in recent years, the benefits he can create for the league are still unmatched by others.

Bogut's injury was even judged by the on-site referee to be an accident. Even if the Bucks management made a fuss afterwards, the league would only try to pretend to be crazy, and it should have ignored Hammond's right to sue.

Milwaukee is not a big ball market at all, and the Bucks have not created much wealth in the past two years, and now even preserving capital is a luxury.

Stern is very clear about how to solve some things, especially after he has reached a transfer agreement with Luke in private and had several conversations, as long as Luke's behavior does not arouse public outrage, Stern is also willing to open his eyes. Close one eye.

After all, in addition to being a troublemaker, Luke is also a cash cow for the new generation of the league.

.........

After defeating the Bucks, the Grizzlies ended their February schedule. So far, the Grizzlies' record of 46 wins and 12 losses still ranks first in the league, leading the second-ranked Celtics in the league by 2.5 wins.

The Lakers, who are ranked second in the Western Conference behind them, have widened the gap to 4.5 wins.

At present, the Grizzlies have a relatively obvious record advantage. With only the last 24 games left in the season, as long as the Grizzlies continue to play steadily, it will not be difficult to end the season as the number one in the league.

Now the results of the Grizzlies have surprised the fans. After all, before the start of the season, no one thought that the Grizzlies, who ranked last in the league last season, would become the first in the league.

Many fans are thinking hard, what kind of magical power does Luke possess, which can turn the worst team in the league into the strongest team in the league in just one summer.

Looking at the entire history, there are not a few coaches with excellent coaching ability, but it is definitely the first time for fans to witness a coach as amazing as Luke.

Even the US media published an article on this, which stated that Luke's best thing is not his coaching ability, but the construction of the team and the training of players.

According to big data statistics, none of the players selected by Luke in the draft has been lost. Whether it is the first round or the second round, they have performed well after entering the league.

And Luke has taken players who couldn't play on other teams more than once to train them into an excellent rotation player, and even the existence of an All-Star.

The charm of Luke not only made the fans curious, but even the experts in the basketball section also admired him.

After entering the league, Luke has made a total of more than a dozen transactions, and in these transactions, each team has also taken advantage of Luke.

But in the end Luke used the facts to prove to people that other teams may make blood, but Luke will never lose money!
…………

In March, the season is coming to an end. Except for the teams that were planning to do badly before the start of the season, all the teams have shown their full strength, no matter who the opponent is, they are trying to win more games.

Throughout March, Luke arranged rest in an orderly manner, and key players such as Kevin Martin, Pau Gasol, and Gerald Wallace even got double rest.

Luke's regular season record is of course important, but without greatly weakening the team's strength, the health of the players is definitely Luke's most concerned issue.

The Grizzlies, who are short of major generals in every game, have also been questioned a lot.

Some people questioned that not all the players Luke put on the injury list suffered from injuries, and Luke's way of resting violated the league's health regulations. I hope the league can come forward to sanction the Grizzlies.

But before the outside world paid attention to this matter, the Grizzlies staged a 27-point massacre against the Lakers at the end of March.

In this game, the Grizzlies played with all their members and faced the Lakers with full firepower. In Luke's words before the game, if they don't win the Lakers by more than 20 points, they will be sorry for the fans watching the game at home.

In particular, Pau Gasol is simply overwhelmed in the interior. Facing the alternating defenses of Okafor and Gortat, Gasol has brought the basic skills of European players to the extreme.

With post-ups, mid-range shots, face-ups, and support, Gasol seemed to vent all the grievances of the All-Stars in this game.

The data of 38 points, 14 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 4 blocks not only played the best game of the season, but also put the face of the Lakers' twin towers on the ground and trampled on the ground, making "Zen Master" Jackson sit on the sidelines with a black face all the time, watching Pau Gasol, who should have belonged to him, was full of anger.

The better Gasol got on the court, the more Jackson gnashed his teeth at Luke.

If Luke hadn't joined the Grizzlies in the summer, if West hadn't been cleared out of the management by Luke, Jackson had thought about these assumptions more than once, and the final result was that Pau Gasol would join the Lakers logically, forming a team with Kobe and Odom. The combination of iron triangle.

In particular, Pau Gasol's style of play is very suitable for the triangle offense, and his excellent coping ability and ball sharing are the best candidates to play next to Kobe.

But what Jackson can do right now is to watch Pau Gasol destroy the inside twin towers he has carefully built.

A 27-point massacre not only plummeted the Lakers' morale, but also made Jackson depressed.

The regular season is coming to an end. The Lakers are currently ranked second in the West after the Grizzlies. This ranking is definitely a strong contender for the championship.

As a result, the Lakers encountered a massacre in the away game, a game where the Grizzlies were hung up to play.

Even though Pau Gasol's touch was too hot, Kobe suffered from the strict defense of the Grizzlies in this game, resulting in only 23 of 7 shots in his personal offense, which can be described as cold.

But no matter what the factors are, it is an indisputable fact that the Lakers lost to the Grizzlies twice this season. Once they meet the Grizzlies in the playoffs with this mood, the Lakers will most likely be in danger.

Even if Kobe's desire to win is too strong, the help provided by his teammates is too small.

Jackson doesn't know when he will have the chance to attack the tenth championship of his career, but now the word Luke has become Jackson's nightmare.

In his 17-year coaching career, Jackson has never been as fearful of the upcoming playoffs as he was this year.

If it is possible, how much Jackson hopes that he is coaching an Eastern Conference team, so that at least before the finals, Luke's face will not appear frequently in Jackson's mind.

It's a pity that if the Lakers want to win the championship, Luke is the mountain that must be climbed. Even if Jackson is already discouraged in his heart, he must pretend to be confident in front of the players to avoid spreading fear to the players. .

…………

In April, the Grizzlies have only the last nine games left, and there is still one step away from the end of the season.

The first opponent the Grizzlies encountered in April was the Detroit Pistons, ranked second in the Eastern Conference and fourth in the league.

This season, the head coach of the Pistons is still the old Sanders who leads the team to go home to fish every year.

No one knows why the Pistons management can still tolerate the existence of the old Sanders. Since taking over Larry Brown's stall, the old Sanders not only failed to lead the Pistons to become better, but also made the Pistons worse and worse.

Even the old Sanders can be regarded as an excellent basketball coach looking at the entire league, but in the city of Detroit, the old Sanders' reputation is extremely poor.

Especially when the old Sanders just left the Timberwolves, Luke turned the Timberwolves into a dynasty team. This incident is definitely a stain on the old Sanders' life.

Detroit fans are very dissatisfied with the invariable way of the Pistons management, because it is not only the coach that remains the same, but also the lineup that has been used since [-].

Billups, Hamilton, Prince, Rasheed Wallace, McDyess...

Except for the big Ben who left the team, the whole team has basically remained unchanged from four years ago.

The mighty Pistons in the first two seasons were upset and eliminated by the Cavaliers led by LeBron James. Since then, the Pistons are doomed to have no way out.

In the words of commentator Charles Barkley, the Pistons were able to win a championship trophy that year with tacit tactical play and fierce defensive actions, but times are changing, and teams are also improving.

After the Pistons' tactical play has been thoroughly figured out by other teams, the Pistons still do not seek changes. This method is doomed to the Pistons being eliminated.

With a tactical play that doesn't need to be adjusted at all, the Pistons' regular season record this season is still good, but once they enter the playoffs, there is a high probability that the Pistons will have to go home and fish.

Fortunately, it has not been a day or two for Old Sanders to lead the Pistons home to go fishing. I believe everyone in the Pistons has long been used to it.

It's just that the poor Detroit fans have been spitting and scolding the old Sanders since they got up every day, but until now the Pistons management has not done anything, which can be said to have done its own thing to the extreme.

So far, although the Pistons rank second in the Eastern Conference and fourth in the league, they only rank eighth on the list of championship predictions released by ESPN.

The Cavaliers, Hornets and other teams behind them are ahead of the Pistons with better records. From this point, it is not difficult to see that the Pistons, who have remained unchanged, have long been kicked out of the championship ranks. Even ESPN is no longer optimistic about the old Sander Si can lead the team to turn things around.

Luke's sudden rise has caused the old Sanders to be questioned a lot in the past two years. Even before Luke took over the team, the old Sanders had led the Timberwolves to the first place in the Western Conference, but Luke will The height brought by the Timberwolves is too high.

In addition, the old Sanders coached the Pistons in a mess, and now the old Sanders is already frantically testing on the verge of dismissal.

This season is the last chance for the old Sanders from the Pistons management. If Sanders still cannot lead the Pistons back to the Finals, then the old Sanders' coaching career will basically come to an end.

After all, the old Sanders's invariability, and the experience of making the Pistons worse and worse are really stains on his coaching career.

No championship team is willing to hire Sanders Sr., a coach who has proven himself to be a failure twice in a row.

Similarly, no rebuilding team is willing to hire an old coach like Sanders who has never changed.

The bad career turn made Sanders Sr. put all his grievances on Luke.

If it wasn't for Luke's sudden appearance, the old Sanders felt that he would be in trouble, instead of being like a street mouse like everyone shouting and beating.

Therefore, when playing against the team coached by Luke, the old Sanders will do his best to try to use a victory to prove to the outside world that he is just bad luck.

It's a pity that since coaching the Pistons, the old Sanders has never won a match with Luke, and even losing a single-digit score is a luxury.

In this game, because Luke rested Pau Gasol and Chris Webber, the old Sanders had the opportunity to defeat Luke for the first time in his coaching career.

Especially at the end of the three quarters, when the Pistons still led the Grizzlies by 8 points, the old Sanders was so excited that he seemed to be ten years younger, standing on the sidelines and roaring wildly, supervising the players to play well Offensive and defensive transition.

However, fate always likes to play tricks on old Sanders and these unlucky guys. While the team trailed by nearly double digits in the third quarter, the Grizzlies ushered in a counterattack in the fourth quarter.

Gasol's rest greatly reduced the threat of the Grizzlies restricted area, and the Grizzlies, who repeatedly failed to attack inside, had to focus on the outside.

The Grizzlies' outside touch in the first three quarters can be described as extremely cold and stormy. Even Kapono, who made nearly 50% of his three-pointers in the regular season, only made one of four shots.

But in the last quarter, the grizzlies, who had been playing for the whole game, began to recover. Under the leadership of kevin martin and mike miller, the grizzlies played a wave of 16:2 offensive, and the old sanders was excited To the trembling mood, Leng Shengsheng was crushed into ice cubes.

Until the whistle sounded at the end of the game, the old Sanders was still standing on the sidelines as if he had been immobilized, watching the game reversed by the Grizzlies in disbelief.

Now that it has come to April, there are very few games left for each team. For the Pistons, who have already secured their place in the playoffs, Old Sanders doesn't care about losing a game.

But in this game, the old Sanders lost to Luke who made him gnash his teeth, the devil he wanted to defeat even once in his dreams!

How hot the old Sanders was at the end of the third quarter, and how stinging the old Sanders was at the end.

Stunned in place for a long time, the old Sanders turned all his unwillingness into a soft sigh, and the wry smile on the corner of his mouth seemed to be the end of the old Sanders' coaching career in advance.

…………

With the Grizzlies easily beating the Clippers in their final game, the regular season officially came to an end.

The Grizzlies' final record was fixed at 66 wins and 16 losses, ranking first in the league with a winning percentage of 80.5%.

From the moment the season ended, the Grizzlies' record of 66 wins set a record in team history and immediately became popular in the sports circle.

After all, the Grizzlies' record last season was only 22 wins and 60 losses, ranking first in the league.

Luke led the Grizzlies to a full 44 wins in just one summer, which can be called a miracle in NBA history.

Looking at the long history of the NBA, the team that completed the fastest rebuilding is the Celtics this season. It rose from the second-to-last record in the league to the first in the league. That year, Rivers attracted countless fans .

However, due to the butterfly effect instigated by Luke, the Celtics in this generation lacked two outstanding players, Garnett and Rondo. The record was rewritten by the Grizzlies.

Leading the team to a full 44 wins, this year's best coach has no suspense from the moment the season ends.

Even if Rivers led the Celtics to a full 38 wins, he would be the best coach in any year.

However, Rivers encountered Luke this pervert this season. He led the team to 38 wins but failed to win the best coach. This is definitely the fiercest competition in NBA history.

With the official end of the regular season, the playoff rankings of the East and West have completely stabilized.

In the East, the No. 62 player is naturally the Boston Celtics with a record of 20 wins and [-] losses.

The Celtics' lineup this season is too luxurious. Even with a tethered dog as the head coach, this lineup can make it to the playoffs.

Rivers has tried his best for so many years and finally got a good hand. Unfortunately, in this season that originally belonged to Rivers, Luke, who broke out halfway, stole the limelight.

It is said that during the period when the season was about to end, Rivers had a very irritable temper. He couldn't help smashing things in the locker room several times, as if venting his anger at the loss of the best coach to the players.

To make matters worse, in the face of Rivers' sudden madness, O'Neal didn't get used to other people's habits, and immediately quarreled with Rivers in the locker room.

The quarrel between the two was quite loud at the time, and even alarmed the management. However, due to the end of the regular season and the approaching playoffs, the management could not pursue too much against O'Neal.

We can only mediate between O'Neal and Rivers, so that the two can calm down their anger as much as possible and focus on the upcoming playoffs.

The quarrel also aroused the concern of Boston fans. The fans worried that this quarrel would cause a rift between O'Neal and Rivers, which would lead to abnormal play in the playoffs and be eliminated by other teams.

However, the fans obviously underestimated Rivers' smoothness. Although Rivers was frustrated with the loss of the best coach, Rivers knew that he needed O'Neal's help.

So on the second day Rivers took the initiative to find O'Neal to reconcile. From the coach's point of view, Rivers' approach was a bit inappropriate, but at the same time it could show Rivers' smoothness in dealing with people.

Rivers knows better than anyone that if the Celtics fail to reach the finals this season as the No. [-] in the Eastern Conference, then his position as head coach may be lost.

After all, coaches are different from players. O'Neal's contract makes it difficult for him to be traded by the team, but it is a matter of minutes to change coaches.

This season, he finally caught a good hand of cards, and Rivers didn't want to make wedding dresses for others before he warmed up.

It is worth mentioning that under normal circumstances, Rivers led the Celtics to a record of 66 wins and 16 losses, a full improvement of 42 wins.

However, in the selection of the best coach, Rivers still lost to Hornets coach Scott.

The reason is that the cards in Rivers' hands are really good. The Big Three lineup of Ray Allen, Pierce, and Garnett can win the championship even if the dog is tied, so Rivers can't win even if he has improved more than 40 wins. Get the best coach.

But these things will definitely not be known to anyone other than Luke, so Rivers thinks that Luke has robbed his best coach.

The second place in the Eastern Conference is the Pistons led by Old Sanders, and the third place is the Magic led by Stan Van Gundy.

Stan Van Gundy's luck is obviously much better than that of his brother Jeff Van Gundy. Jeff Van Gundy has been unable to find a job since he was dismissed by Luke himself, and finally had to switch careers to serve as an on-site commentary.

Although Stan Van Gundy was once Luke's defeat, the main reason for Stan Van Gundy's dismissal was that Riley wanted to come down to coach in person. He believed that the Heat's failure to win the championship was due to Stan Van Gundy's incompetence.

But then Luke told Riley with the facts, even if you come down to coach in person, it is useless.

As for the rankings from four to eight are: Cavaliers, Wizards, Raptors, 76ers, and Eagles.

In the West, the first place is the Grizzlies with 66 wins and 16 losses.

If it is said that when coaching the Timberwolves, some people still questioned that Luke's starting point for taking over the team was too high. After all, before taking over the team, the Timberwolves were the number one existence in the Western Conference.

So this season Luke brought the Grizzlies, which ranks last in the league, to the top in the league. This strength is enough to answer any doubts.

At present, it is only pure black fans who are madly abusing Luke on the Internet. Except for these people, Luke's influence can be said to have reached its peak.

Ranked two to eight are: Lakers, Hornets, Spurs, Suns, Mavericks, Nuggets and Rockets.

The Grizzlies' first-round opponent is the Rockets led by the "little giant" Yao Ming. During the regular season, the Grizzlies have played against the Rockets three times.

Judging from the overall strength of the two sides, it is difficult for the Rockets to cause trouble for the Grizzlies. After all, after trading McGrady, the Rockets have a relatively young lineup. Except for a few players such as Yao Ming and Battier, others are not good at fighting tough battles.

If nothing else happens, it will be difficult for the Rockets to get rid of the fate of being swept by the Grizzlies in the first round. Unless Yao Ming can usher in an explosion in a certain game, the Grizzlies will most likely sweep and advance.

For the fans, this round of the series is probably the least suspenseful matchup, and the highlight is what kind of performance the two Chinese players, Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi, can perform.

In addition, Gay and Mike Conley, the two players who were traded away by Luke, will play against the Grizzlies led by Luke in the playoffs.

This season, the first-year rookie Mike Conley performed quite well. Although the statistics are not too good, but his stable performance took only a few games to squeeze out the "streetball king" Alston and secure the team's starting position.

Relatively speaking, Rudy Gay, who has returned to the Rockets, has improved somewhat. With an average of 17 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist per game, he has become an indispensable helper for Yao Ming.

It's just that the offensive end is too lonely to pass the ball, and the problem of low offensive efficiency is really a headache for head coach Montgomery.

It's hard to imagine that Rudy Gay, who averaged 36.7 minutes per game, only had 1 assist and his shooting percentage was less than 42%.

In other words, as long as the ball is transferred to Rudy Gay, unless Yao Ming opens his hand to ask for the ball, other people can only watch the basketball draw a beautiful arc, and then hit the iron with a "bang" …

.........

At the end of the regular season, the winners of this season's scoring champion and many other honors were also announced.

In terms of scoring, LeBron James of the Cavaliers was elected as the scoring leader for the first time in his career with an average of 30.2 points per game.

LeBron James is also the only player averaging 30 points per game this season.

As for the Lakers, Kobe Bryant ranked second with an average of 29.6 points per game. He was plagued by finger injuries and unfortunately missed the scoring champion.

It is worth mentioning that Kevin Martin's final scoring data was fixed at 25.6 points, ranking fifth in the league after James, Kobe, Anthony and Iverson.

As for the rebounding leader, Howard averaged 14.2 per game, 1.3 more than the second-ranked "data brush" Marcus Camby.

Howard's progress this season is very obvious. His average of 20.8 points, 14.2 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game also makes him and Yao Ming frequently compete for the title of the league's top center.

Howard mainly takes advantage of the high popularity in the United States. If you only talk about personal strength, who is the league's number one center is definitely open to question.

The assists and steals kings were accepted by Chris Paul alone. Now Paul has surpassed Steve Nash in the MVP list and has become the league's new generation of point guard kings.

If Nash's advantage before was the team's excellent record, then this season Paul brought the Hornets to the second place in the Western Conference, surpassing Nash in terms of personal data and team record.

In the third year of entering the league, Paul has grown into the league's number one point guard. Next season will be the last year of Paul's rookie contract. I believe that after Paul's contract expires, the league will definitely set off a bloodbath.

In addition, Kapono's 48.2% three-point shooting rate also ranks first in the league.

The only player in the entire league who can compete with Kapono is not Ray Allen, Terry, or Korver, but Nash, who averages 4.8 three-pointers per game and still maintains a 47% shooting rate.

Nash's excellent passing ability always makes people ignore his shooting. Nash, who averaged 17 points, 3.5 rebounds and 11 assists per game, is still the top point guard in the league.

As for who is the strongest point guard in active service with Chris Paul, the queen bee faction and the wind son faction are arguing fiercely on the Internet.

In the end, Martin also ranked first in the free throw list with an average of 10.1 free throws per game, two full times more than the second-ranked Corey Maggette.

Therefore, this season's Kevin Martin has also been dubbed the "Porcelain King" by fans.

Many fans ridiculed on the Internet that the players in Luke's hands have always been brave and good at fighting, and the style of "I will beat you if I can't beat you" can be described as a must in the league.

For this Gerald Wallace has maintained the fine tradition of the "Luke faction".

And a player like Kevin Martin who is weak and weak, who can fly more than three meters when touched, is definitely an alternative.

Until now, there are still fans who satirize Martin’s classic game of this season. In mid-March, the Grizzlies challenged the Eagles away. Martin scored 21 points on 3 of 27 shots. The only player in the active league who can do this Kevin Martin for one.

It can be said that Iverson will cry when watching it, Kobe will be heartbroken after watching it, and "NBA Lin Daiyu" who got drunk all night after watching it is also true!
　Ask for a monthly ticket, ask for a recommendation ticket, brothers!

　　Know how I live this day, collapse!

　　The effort of cutting a screen was swallowed up to 3000 words, I cried to death, the hard-coded words, "bang", in the blink of an eye, it was gone!
