Chapter 373 The Most Important Day of the Regular Season

"Extraordinary! The Lakers lost to the Phoenix Suns at the Great Western Forum! The record has slipped to the same level as the Chicago Bulls!" On the streets of Santa Monica in Los Angeles, newsboys waved various newspapers and shuttled back and forth in the streets and alleys , shouting loudly.

"April 13! The Lakers will play against the Jazz again at home! At the same time, the Chicago Bulls will play against the Detroit Pistons!"

"The OK combination battles the two elders of Utah! Jordan vs. Hill! This is a confrontation between the strongest teams in the league! First in the West, second in the West, first in the East, and third in the East! The top ten superstars in the league are as follows Half of them will show up!"

"The Lakers and the Bulls compete for 70 wins! Kobe and Jordan face off! This must be a day in the history of the NBA. The most exciting day of the regular season is none other than this day."

"Hey! Kid, give me one." A middle-aged man with his hair combed back listened to the cries, and his heart itched unbearably. He didn't love basketball that much, so he couldn't help but immerse himself in the basketball atmosphere in Los Angeles.

"On this day, the Suns will play against the Warriors, the Sonics will play against Houston, and the Nets will play against the Bucks. There is no shortage of the best teams in the league, but they are all supporting roles! The protagonist on April 13 will only be the team that won 70 wins. team! If they win 70 wins at the same time, then this day will be immortalized.” Beside him, a black man of medium height also wanted to download a newspaper.

"The latest odds show in Las Vegas! The Lakers win 1.7 to 1! The Bulls win 1.3 to 1! The Lakers and the Bulls win at the same time to 2.1 to 1! The Lakers and the Bulls both lose 4.9 to 1! Franklin, who do you think should be bought?" The white man was very familiar with the black man, rubbed his fingers and asked, he had some gambling addiction and wanted to vote.

"Mike, it's over if we win without thinking! Kobe and Michael will take care of everything for us!" Franklin is full of confidence. The gold chain hanging on his chest is the betting money won by the crazy betting on the Lakers before.

"Your Kobe made you lose $5,000 two days ago!" Mike was a little disapproving, and he decided to bet on the one with the highest odds later, that is, both the Lakers and the Bulls.

"Damn it, you're giving money to the casino." Xiaofu curled his lips, thinking that Mike was out of his mind. It seemed that after his wife and yoga instructor put on a cuckold for him, Mike became a little abnormal.

"Fake, I have a reason!" The middle-aged man's mouth is always so unreasonable.

This scene happened not only in Los Angeles, but also in various places across the United States. As long as there is basketball, these games on April 13 cannot be separated.

Who will win?

Will any team be the first to win 70 games?

Or the Bulls and the Lakers won 70 wins together, becoming an indelible myth in history?

It is still a double defeat. The two teams have been exhausted in pursuit of regular season records, and they no longer have the physical fitness and state to defeat strong opponents. After all, both the Jazz and the Pistons are the favorites to win the season, and Malone and Hill are the league's first big and small forwards!

Kobe and Jordan are also two of the strongest guards in the league!

The strongest striker VS the strongest defender!

The strongest teams face off!

A legendary journey of 70 wins!

On April 13th, there were too many gimmicks. Tickets at the Great Western Forum are hard to come by, and so are Chicago.

Before the start of the game, experts supporting different teams had already talked about it in the media, but the players did not accept interviews, and they were all concentrating on preparing for the game.

"The End of the Lakers -- It Starts with Bad Shooting"

This season's rookie Lakers have played a lot of impressive games, and in many games they used performance and performance that exceeded everyone's expectations to forcefully win. The performance of the young Lakers players is very exciting. Several undrafted picks have become their main rotation. A large number of rookies made the league very little targeted arrangement for the Lakers team at the beginning. This is the same as last year's championship winner Chicago Bulls. There is a world of difference.

After Jordan won three consecutive championships, for the Bulls, building a team lineup system in order to deal with the Bulls is already what most playoff-level teams will do. The Bulls' triangle offense played around with those things, and Phil Jackson's tactical philosophy is well known. All the players are proud to win against Michael Jordan, and these factors make every game difficult for the Bulls.

The Lakers are completely different. Harris used one or even several new tactical systems to disrupt the vision of most team coaches. He is not familiar with the Lakers lineup and the Lakers' tactics. These unfamiliarities have allowed the Lakers to reap unexpected surprises in their games. We have to admit that Silver Fox Del Harris single-handedly pushed the Lakers into one of the teams with the best record this season. They have dominated the league for more than half of the season. Only the Chicago Bulls, the championship team, can pose a threat to them.

We also have to realize one thing, that is, putting aside these factors, how high is the true level of the Lakers? The Suns game gave us the answer. The hard power of the Lakers is far less scary than their record looks.

When Kobe and Eddie Jones couldn't find the touch, and when O'Neal was double-teamed inside, the Lakers' outside line could not respond. The ability of the Lakers team is not that strong, and poor shooting will make their offensive space disappear. At the end of the season, after a long season with no respite for these rookies of the Lakers, can they continue to maintain their fiery touch?

Shooting can never win a championship. A team that relies so much on jump shots may disappoint the fans who support him in the playoffs.

"Piston Doom? "

The Detroit Pistons, who have occupied the second place in the Eastern Conference for a long time this season, once let everyone see the rising of a new Pistons dynasty. When the season entered April, when all the coaches of the team understood that as long as they targeted Grant Hill well and made Hill play uncomfortable, the Pistons' offense collapsed 100%, and the team headed for a defeat.

The Pistons' second place in the Eastern Conference has been snatched away by the Miami Heat, and they fell into a trough in March and April. Grant Hill was targeted in every possible way, but there was never a single player on the team who could stand up and give Hill enough support.

Pistons coach Collins brought Jordan to his first peak, and everyone expected Hill to be the next Michael, the next legend. Before March, Hill's performance was exactly what people expected. His performance when he was not being targeted was even better than when Michael was younger. Scoring a triple-double was like picking a bag. No one in the league could defend his breakthrough. .

However, Hill's performance when he was targeted was too bad. His choice was to use the pass to evade his responsibility. After receiving the ball, the other players of the Pistons were unable to score effectively and efficiently. As a result, the Pistons lost consecutive games, and Hill's performance and statistics were very poor.

Hill may have the strength of a young Michael or Kobe, but he does not have the heart of a strong man, and this may be the end of the Pistons.

My editor left in a hurry, and I said why didn't I recommend it.
