Chapter 320 Reserve Seats
In the penultimate game of the regular season, the Golden State Warriors played away against the Sacramento Kings. Kings star Webber has missed too many games in the regular season, but the Kings still firmly occupy the first place in the East and West in the regular season.

The Kings lead the Spurs and Lakers behind by 3 games. Even if they lose the last two regular season games, they will still not lose their first place in the regular season. Webber has actually recovered from his injury, but Kings coach Adelman is not There was no intention of letting him play.

The Warriors started their preparations for the playoffs. Grant Hill played 41 minutes in this away game against the Kings, made 28 of 18 shots, scored 40 points, and led the Warriors to easily beat the Kings 120:106.

The king's remnant team lacked the most important part of Weber. The remaining Peja, Bibby, Divac, and Christie were leaderless. The whole game was like sleepwalking. They are desperately trying to play the regular season, which is obviously unrealistic.

The Warriors started the final sprint with the determination to secure the fifth place and compete for the fourth place, and the Mavericks, who felt the pressure, also played crazily. They won consecutive games in the last few games, and they are not too far away from the Spurs and Lakers.

Even though the Golden State Warriors won the Los Angeles Clippers at home in the last game, McGrady, one of the Warriors' twin stars, broke out and scored 22 points, 13 rebounds and 35 assists on 6 of 2 shots, but he was unable to catch up with the Mavericks.

至此2001-2002赛季的nba常规赛落幕，萨克拉门托国王队以61胜21负的战绩位列西部第一，马刺湖人同为58胜24负位列二三位，小牛队最后阶段开启疯狂模式，以57胜25负拿下西部第四的位置。

The Golden State Warriors have been remarkable throughout the season, ranking fifth in the West with 55 wins and 27 losses. The Minnesota Timberwolves were weak in the final stage, pushing to sixth with 50 wins and 32 losses, followed by the Portland Trail Blazers in seventh, and the eighth Seattle SuperSonics.

Sloan's Utah Jazz's away record was too poor. With a slight disadvantage of one win, they were squeezed out of the Western Conference playoffs by the Seattle SuperSonics. The Clippers and Suns also missed the Western Conference playoffs.

The competition in the West is extremely fierce. The sixth and seventh Timberwolves Trail Blazers both have a winning rate of 60%. This record is enough to get the East to compete for the top three in the East. Even the New Jersey Nets, the number one in the East, are only 52 wins and 30 losses.

From the perspective of the Verus traveler, there is basically no suspense in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs. The Kings, Spurs and Lakers will definitely pass the first round easily. The only suspense is the Warriors vs. Mavericks. It's hard to say how the outcome will be.

In fact, there are some doubts about saying it is easy. The sudden emergence of the Warriors has changed history. In the original time and space, the Spurs played the Sonics in the first round of the playoffs, which is still quite difficult for them.

Gloves Gary Payton, Rashad Lewis and Vin Baker, plus marksman Brent Barry, the Sonics have not had a good record throughout the season, but their combat effectiveness in the playoffs is quite impressive. The Warriors of Verus Let the Sonics fall back to eighth, and they had to face Webber's comeback peak king in the first round of the playoffs.

The Sonics are not afraid of playing against the slow Spurs, but they have more than enough power to face the full-fire Kings. When playing against teams of the same type, it depends on who is more comprehensive and solid, and this undoubtedly does not account for any of the Sonics. Advantage.

The Spurs are too comfortable playing the Trail Blazers and the Lakers playing the Timberwolves. The Spurs like the slow old teams like the Trail Blazers. Pippen's Trail Blazers, it's very simple.

There must be no suspense for the Lakers to beat the Timberwolves. The wolf king Garnett is alone, and the only helper Szczerbiak can make do in the regular season. In the playoffs, he obviously lacks experience and can't help much.

The matchup between the Mavericks and the Warriors was considered unpredictable by the nba experts. After all, the regular season records of the two teams were almost the same, and the Mavericks took advantage of the home position of the top three in Texas. They always got home games. The chances of tired back-to-back teams, any road team, will look very weak when they come to Texas, and the home record of the top three in Texas is very good.

The Mavericks have only three core players, the star German star Dirk Nowitzki, a tall white European big man with long arms, but he likes to float outside and shoot. He is not valued by the mainstream nba media. European team basketball The projection-based style of play does not have a big market in the United States.

The Mavericks point guard Steve Nash is unquestionable, but Verus thinks that he is actually not suitable to stay in the Mavericks. The Mavericks have too few players who can cooperate with him to play fast breaks and gorgeous offensive small balls. Finley is barely one. , but it is far less suitable than Marion, Stoudemire, Barbosa, Raja Bell, Dior and other sun lunatics.

Nowitzki's defense is not as good as offense, LaFrentz is also strong in offense and weak in defense, Najera is strong in defense but his scoring ability is almost zero, Finley's defensive ability is also often criticized, and Nash, who is a big defensive colander, The Mavericks have no idea who they are playing against.

The Mavericks added Jason Terry, Caron Butler, Sean Marion, Tyson Chandler, Jose Barea, Peja Stojakovic, and many years later, And the joining of the most important powerful point guard Jason Kidd, the whole team has no flaws in offense and defense, and finally won the coveted nba championship.

It is always the shortest board that determines the capacity of a barrel. Even if it is as strong as the later emperor LeBron James, he still has to stroll to Miami to lead a team to fulfill his long-awaited wish. Super giant teams can attract fans and box office, but the playoffs may not be so good.

After all, any superstar will be strictly targeted by his opponents in the playoffs. No matter how hard he works, the strength of one person is far from enough to win a playoff victory. He is as strong as the peak basketball god Jordan, with red The Bulls also wasted countless seasons, reinforcing enough outstanding teammates, to establish an immortal legendary Bulls dynasty.

Verus has laid a solid enough foundation for the Golden State Warriors, but the fans of this era have not yet discovered that they always feel that O'Neal and Billups are too watery, and Uncle Mu is too old and Big Ben is too short , Hill has passed his peak, and most of the remaining players are rookies who cannot be reused. The only one who can win is No. 1 McGrady, but you can refer to Jordan. No matter how powerful a star is, it is not enough to change history.

Therefore, most bricks and neutral fans still hold a cautious attitude and stand on the side of the Dallas Mavericks. After all, the scientist Nelson and the Mavericks troika feel more reliable.
