Chapter 562 The final pattern of the regular season, the explosive West!(1/2)
"I didn't expect that the Houston Rockets would also suffer two consecutive losses."
"Before they lost to the Lakers and Celtics in a row, they just won a crazy 21-game winning streak."
After returning from a busy road trip in the Eastern Conference, Ye Siheyin finally has a short rest.
For Yin, although most of the opponents on this Eastern tour are not that strong, this continuous schedule does make people feel very tired.
Even if it is Ye Si, although his mind is normal, his body will be affected.
He played more than 3,000 games in his dream, and even played dozens of games in one day.
For Ye Si, his spirit has indeed been extremely toughened by these games.
But the body...
After all, those games in the dream are new games and you can recover your physical condition instantly.
In reality, there is no such black technology for instant recovery.
Even he feels a little bit physically tired now, not to mention his teammates.
In the last game against the Timberwolves, I almost sang it in the gutter.
Fortunately, the next game against the Suns is on March 20, which is four days before the Timberwolves game.
These four days of rest are so important for listening to music.
Therefore, in order to give the players a better rest time, Nelson still insisted on giving the team two days off during such a tight sprint schedule.
In the sprint stage at the end of the season, even the Rockets, with the thickest lineup in the league, were a little overwhelmed and had to rotate the team's three leading players, Yao Ming, Roy and Tracy McGrady, in this back-to-back game with the Celtics.
Yin does not have the foundation of the Rockets. Even if the Rockets rotated Yao Ming, Tracy McGrady and Roy, Artest, Gerald Wallace, Scola, Ariza, Aaron Brooks and Landry Hayes, Muto
The second-line lineup led by Mbo and others was still able to contend with the Celtics at home for the entire game, but in the end it was just the same as the sound, losing to the Celtics at home by 10 points.
Ye Si frowned as he watched Yao Ming, Roy and McGrady in suits on TV applauding their teammates.
The Rockets' loss to the Celtics in this game was their second consecutive defeat after a record 21-game winning streak.
The Rockets, who were originally ranked first in the Western Conference, changed their record to 60 wins and 7 losses after this defeat, and their ranking also changed from first in the Western Conference to second in the Western Conference.
This back-to-back game at the Rockets' home court is very important to the situation in the entire Western Conference.
Yesterday, the Rockets were defeated by the Lakers at home. The two teams played two overtimes and were finally defeated by Kobe Bryant. The impact on the Rockets was indeed huge.
The Rockets never thought that the game against the Lakers would be so intense.
What's more important is that he actually lost after fighting so fiercely.
For the Rockets, as long as they play with all their main players in this game against the Celtics, they will most likely be able to win.
But in the end, Rockets head coach Adelman chose to rest Yao Ming, Tracy McGrady and Roy.
This is a completely different style rotation from former Rockets head coach Van Gundy Jr.
As for the Rockets' unexpected two-game losing streak, Ye Si can already be sure that the next day, the public opinion of the entire world will be exploded!
After catching up with the Suns' taillights some time ago and forcibly connecting the two tiers of the Western Conference's top teams into one, the world's eyes are now fixed on the seven top teams in the West.
I have to say that this year's regular season competition among the top seven in the Western Conference is really exciting.
The Rockets' losing streak has pushed this excitement to another level.
Look at the current record of the top seven in the Western Conference.
The Suns and Rockets currently have a record of 60 wins and 7 losses, and the Suns are ranked first due to the superiority between the two sides.
Yin's current record is 57 wins and 10 losses, ranking third. (The previous record of Yin was wrong. When he lost to the Nuggets in two consecutive losses, Yin was 56 wins and 10 losses, and he only reached 57 wins after defeating the Timberwolves.)
The Lakers, who are fourth in the Western Conference, the Spurs, who are fifth in the Western Conference, and the Nuggets, who are sixth in the Western Conference, all three teams now have a record of 55 wins and 12 losses.
The Grizzlies, seventh in the Western Conference, have 50 wins and 16 losses.
With 15 games left in the regular season, the suspense of rankings has changed dramatically!
Not to mention being third in the Western Conference, there are still big changes, even if you are first in the Western Conference, there are still big changes!
Let’s take the No. 1 Suns. In their remaining 15 games, they have to play 7 games against the top seven teams in the Western Conference. In addition, they also have one game against the No. 1 Celtics in the Eastern Conference.
Second, the Rockets, in their remaining 15 games, they will play six of the top seven teams in the Western Conference, and two of these six games will be against the nemesis Suns.
In terms of third place, in the remaining fifteen games, we have to play six games against the top seven in the Western Conference. It seems a lot easier, but two of the opponents in these six games are the nemesis Rockets.
As for the Lakers in fourth, the Spurs in fifth, and the Nuggets in sixth, their opponents in the top seven in the Western Conference in the remaining 15 games are 3, 4, and 6 respectively.
The Grizzlies, who are seventh in the Western Conference, have 16 games left, while their opponents in the top seven in the Western Conference have 4 games.
Looking at the future schedule of the seven teams currently shown by TnT on TV, Wang Han's face was full of worry.
Ye Si certainly knows why TnT plays such a schedule.
This is telling the audience that the Suns, number one in the Western Conference, have the most difficult schedule ahead.
As long as they miss the mark in the strong dialogue, not to mention not being ranked first, they may not be ranked third!
At the same time, it is also telling the audience that the top three teams in the Western Conference will have the worst schedule in the future.
Although the Lakers and Spurs cannot move up to first or second place in the Western Conference, as long as they play well in the remaining games, they have a very good chance of reaching third place, and they can even push the Spurs from third to sixth place.
!
At the same time, this future schedule is also telling the audience that even though the Grizzlies are currently seventh in the Western Conference, they still have a chance to catch up with the Nuggets, who are sixth in the Western Conference.
The Nuggets' future schedule is much more difficult than the Grizzlies', and the two teams have two direct matches!
Looking at the future schedule on TV, Ye Si clearly knows that as the regular season enters the last month, the situation in the Western Conference regular season has become more tense and exciting.
The competition in the Western Conference was also fierce before, but it was definitely not as fierce as it is now.
In the past, in the West, the sun and rockets were high.
These two teams' top two positions in the Western Conference have never been threatened.
But now, it was suddenly dragged down.
"When Yes saw the taillights of Fix Sun with the Seattle sound, the whole world changed!"
"After the winning gap between the Suns and the Rockets became two and a half games, the Rockets and Suns faced the top seven teams in the Western Conference. Only the Suns defeated the Spurs at home with difficulty!"
"Yes and Yin's pursuit gave the other top seven teams in the Western Conference hope of dragging down the Rockets and Suns!"
"The current fighting power of the Lakers, Spurs, Nuggets and Grizzlies is completely different from the first half of the schedule!"
"And this is why we say that there are seven historical-level teams in the Western Conference this season. Now each of them has the ability to defeat the other!"
"The team that emerges from the Western Conference and ascends to the throne this year will be the most legendary champion in NBA history, the most legendary king of kings!"
Reggie Miller on TV was speaking passionately.
And Ye Si has been thinking.
Does Yin really have a chance to surpass the Rockets and Suns? Or can he surpass both the Suns and the Rockets?
Ye Si really didn't expect that after he took Yin to the east for a tour and came back, the west would undergo such big changes.
He never thought before that his team would have a chance to surpass the Rockets and Suns.
It can only be said that the changes in the current Lakers, Spurs, Nuggets and Grizzlies are indeed huge.
In the past, the Rockets and Suns basically fought against these four teams, but now they need to go all out, and even going all out is no guarantee that they can win.
The triangle offense led by Kobe Bryant of the Lakers is becoming more and more outstanding, and his cooperation with the team is becoming more and more tacit. Kobe, who is not so stubborn, is becoming more and more like Jordan's original demeanor in the triangle offense, hitting when he can, and hitting as hard as he can.
It's Jordan. Maybe Kobe doesn't have the strength of Jordan and can't be Jordan for the whole game, but there is no problem being Jordan in 70% or 80% of the games. There is no chance that during that period when he can't be Jordan, hand the ball to Kidd.
Let Kidd organize it, and Kidd's power combined with Randolph, Turkoglu and Bynum is equally astonishing.
The current Lakers are indeed not a little bit better than the Lakers at the beginning of the season or before the All-Star break. It is definitely not a fluke that this team can overturn the Suns and Rockets after the All-Star break.
There are also the Spurs. Since Bowen returned, the Spurs' defensive system has become better and better. Even if Ye Si doesn't pay much attention to the Spurs news, he can often hear that Bowen bullied someone again, and the Spurs again
Set up a certain team.
Bowen's current athletic abilities are truly incomparable to those at his peak.
But the Spurs have Duncan, and Duncan is the metronome. With Duncan controlling the rhythm, even Nash can't do it if he wants to play faster than the Spurs.
The only one who was able to suppress Duncan in terms of rhythm in the game was Ye Si in the playoffs last season.
If you can't play fast, there is no way to magnify Bowen's shortcomings of reduced athletic ability. By constantly grinding and grinding in the position, Bowen's current defensive ability is almost invincible. If you want to play fast in position battles, the only way is to not have the ball.
With Bowen running around, there are very few players in the entire NBA except for Yes whose off-ball offensive ability can amplify Bowen's lack of athletic ability.
Therefore, this kind of Bowen, just relying on his defense, ranked him as the fifth-best shooting guard in 2k9 after Kobe, Arenas and Iverson Wade!
Bowen's ability value is higher than Roy's.
The Spurs 'legend' who could dream of playing is now a true living legend.
Even the Suns, known as the No. 1 offense in NBA history, failed to score more than 100 points against the Spurs some time ago.
In the eyes of many people, the current Spurs have basically no problems except for their offense.
There are also the Nuggets. After Anthony, the Nuggets are the team with the most changes in the top six in the entire Western Conference.
To be continued...
