I'm really good at shooting.

"Who's winning?"

Sun Hao turned his head.

The game between the Mavericks and the Spurs is very important here, and the game between the Suns and the Trail Blazers is also very important.

Because it is related to the first round of the playoffs.

"Suns, they won by one point."

After Eisley finished speaking, the rankings came out along with it.

The Suns ranked sixth in the West, and the Trail Blazers ranked seventh in the East.

"interesting."

Sun Hao didn't think about it before, but after the last follow-up session, he found this ranking really interesting.

At the beginning of the season, ESPN ranked the strength of each team.

The top team at the time was not the Lakers, but the Trail Blazers.

But it was this Trail Blazers team, the Trail Blazers team that tied the tiebreaker with the Lakers last season, whose performance surprised everyone.

The biggest signing, Kemp, is as fat as a ball. Last year, he averaged 18+7 per game. This year, he went straight to 6+4. This is not a cliff, but a broken back!

And a bigger problem than status is infighting.

In fact, the Trail Blazers had a good record before the All-Star Game, winning 60 games in 42 games, but only won 22 games in 8 games after the All-Star Game.

There are too many stars in the team and the ball cannot be allocated.

And Kemp couldn't even play in the playoffs because of his drug rehab.

There is also a swingman who performed well, and the "stick" Bunch Wells, who once replaced Smith as the starter, was reimbursed for the season due to injury.

That made the Trail Blazers end up far below ESPN's predictions.

However, there is a saying that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

Even without Kemp and Wells, the Trail Blazers still have Rasheed Wallace, Pippen, Sabonis, Steve Smith, Dale Davis and many other all-star lineups.

None of the teams in the upper half would want to meet them in the first round.

Now they have fallen to seventh in the West, which means that the second place in the West, which was supposed to be a sweet pastry, has become a hot pot in an instant.

Anyone who sits on it will feel hot ass.

So in this last game, the Mavericks and the Spurs should have gone all out to win.

But now, it's hard to say.

After a while, Old Nelson came to the locker room.

"For tonight's game, the coaching staff doesn't have too many demands on you. Pay attention, your body is the first priority at this time. I don't want you to fight too hard. Whoever can't play in the playoffs by then, I will beat him hard Ass."

Old Nelson came in and emphasized the players' injuries.

But it is obvious that this is Xiang Zhuang's sword dance, which is aimed at Pei Gong.

The implication is to let the players stop playing.

This is very real.

As Sun Hao said earlier, the Mavericks don't want to play against the Trail Blazers.

Wouldn't it be nice to go to fight the sun he had hanged before?

Let Na not be defensive and not attack Shangji, isn't that a beautiful picture?

Well, it's very fragrant and beautiful, and you can even give it a shot.

So, the Mavericks had a hundred reasons to lose this game and none of them to win it.

Of course, such words cannot be said clearly. If this is caught by the league, he will definitely not be able to get away with a fine and suspension.

Sun Hao suddenly felt that the game tonight would be really interesting.

That night, the Mavericks ushered in the final game of the season against the Spurs.

The attendance at the scene was high.

This game is related to the playoffs, and it is the last game before the playoffs. Fans don't want to miss it.

However, during the warm-up before the game, the fans found that something was wrong with the Spurs.

Both Duncan and Robinson put on suits!

Neither look like they'll be playing!

After the pre-match warm-up, the scene entered the appearance ceremony.

It was this appearance ceremony that caused boos all over the place.

The starting lineup for the Spurs.

Outside "little generals" Avery Johnson and Terry Porter, forward Malik Rose and Danny Ferry, and center Shawnelle Scott.

None of the starters on this starting list are regular-season starters for the Spurs!

Shhh, it's simply not appropriate!

Old Nelson was also taken aback.

He didn't expect that Popovich didn't even pretend.

Nima, don't be old!

The expressions of the Mavericks players are also very weird, this is the first time for them to be so direct.

Even if you don't want to win, is this too blatant?Are the Spurs not afraid of being suspended and fined?

Sun Hao, on the other hand, was the only one who was calm.

In fact, after the old Nelson came in and said those words, he had a premonition that Popovich would do that.

After all, he had heard of such things in his previous life.

The reason for uncertainty is that Popovich's previous image is very different from his impression.

But it turns out that Popovich has used this hand very early.

And think about it, this also fits well with Popovich's image now, trying his best to win.

The Mavericks are still in the regular starting lineup, but Old Nelson is not a fool, he has also made up his mind to reduce the playing time of the main players.

Nowitzki easily jumped over Scott and gave the Mavericks the ball first.

The Mavericks played very casually in the first round, but Nowitzki easily cut to the basket and scored two points.

Scott was a fringe player for the Spurs, looking slow and clumsy.

Looking back, Rose missed the jumper with a sudden stop.

Nowitzki grabbed the defensive rebound, the Mavericks counterattacked, and Sun Hao easily threw off Johnson in the counterattack, and scored two more points with a dunk with both hands.

The Spurs' offense, Porter did not shoot a three-pointer against Sun Hao's defensive waves from the outside.

The Mavericks grabbed the offensive rebound and pushed back. This time Nash also had a layup after receiving the ball.

The Mavericks got off to a perfect 6-0 start.

"Fxck!"

Old Nelson bowed his head and scolded his mother.

He got up and walked to the sidelines.

"Slow down, slow down."

It was really unprecedented for old Nelson to say these words.

You must know that what old Nelson shouted most in the past was to increase the speed. This speed reduction is like the sun coming out from the west.

Scott still didn't make a shot at the basket, and Nowitzki protected the defensive rebound and handed it over to Sun Hao.

Sun Hao holds the ball and slowly advances to the frontcourt.

The Mavericks cooperated in the frontcourt, and Sun Hao came out to catch the ball through the pick-and-roll.

Ferry on the opposite side bypassed the pick-and-roll, and was about to pounce.

But for some reason, he tripped himself and fell halfway.

Sun Hao was stunned.

This... Brother, you have passed!

Chapter 169 Dirk, I'll Teach You a Trash Talk

Ferry got up from the ground, and Sun Hao had already completed his shot.

"Shh!"

Although he didn't aim deliberately, the memory formed by his muscles allowed Sun Hao to hit the three-pointer steadily.

9 is better than 0!

The Mavericks got off to a strong start.

Johnson broke through Nash and scored a layup, finally breaking the scoring drought for the Spurs after the opening.

But looking back, the Spurs missed someone on the defensive end, and Uncle Huo dunked with one hand with the ball.

Old Nelson was furious.

What the hell is an actor on the other side!

He wasn't polite anymore, and after less than 5 minutes of the game, he replaced several main players to rest one after another.

The last regular season game between the two sides played a unique scene.

But obviously, the old Nelson is not as shameless as Popovich.

Except for Duncan and Robinson watching from the sidelines, the main players on the Spurs' active list basically didn't play much.

And the players who played also showed their talent as actors.

The Spurs made a defensive mistake, you can't help but play?

The Spurs have been unable to make outside shots. You can't help him make the ball, can you?

Really head-to-head play, the Mavericks are worthy of the Spurs, but they lost their acting skills.

Facts have proved that shameless people are really invincible.

In the end, the Mavericks beat the Spurs 91 to 71 at home, locking in the second place in the Western Conference.

At the press conference after the game, Old Nelson was outraged.

"Greg disrespected the game and the league should suspend and fine his team."

"If your stars don't play, and my stars don't play, then what are the fans who buy tickets to see?"

……

Old Nelson's words were reported by the Dallas media. As for whether the league can really be suspended, perhaps we will only know before the start of the playoffs.

After the game was over on this day, the 2000-2001 regular season officially ended, and the rankings and matches between the East and the West were also released one after another.

In the East, the 76ers topped the list with 56 wins.

Iverson averaged 31.1 points, 3.8 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 2.5 steals per game this season. He has a very good chance of winning the regular season MVP.

雄鹿队（52胜）、热火队（50胜）、尼克斯（48胜）、猛龙（47胜）、黄蜂（46胜）、魔术（43胜）分列2~7位。

Ranked eighth is the Indiana Pacers, who only won 41 wins.

Compared with their performance in the finals last season, their predictions for this season can be said to have caused ESPN experts to stumble.

It's not that the experts are unprofessional. You must know that the main lineup of the Pacers just changed a center, from Dale Davis to O'Neal.

And O'Neal's performance this season is no worse than Davis!

Perhaps, it can only be because the team's head coach has changed from Bird to "Smiling Assassin" Thomas.
