Chapter 465: The Last Derby
ps: The last game in the regular season.
On March 30, the Clippers' last game of the month was still the Texas team. They took the train to Houston the next day and were preparing to take the Rockets to a perfect ending.
Before Ji Guomeng left, he left the phone number of the blonde beauty named Jill. Of course, he also left the phone number for the other party - Giant Panda's cell phone.
"I finally know why Vanessa said that Kobe had an affair in dozens of cities, and it was really simple for the stars to want a one-night stand." Ji Guomo was on the train, recalling yesterday's romantic encounter, and said shamelessly: "Before I left, Gill's girl said obscenely that she would call her next time in San Antonio, do you think I'm particularly charming?"
Ji Guochou looked envious and jealous, and said in his heart: "Be careful not to 'she'. If it is 'him', I see how you die."
"Bao, do you dare to say that you didn't peep yesterday?"
"I'm afraid you will be robbed."
Even he blushed with Ji Guoqiu's excuse, so he ignored the fox who was still good at taking advantage of the price and was concentrating on thinking why they looked the same and the girl asked him to make an appointment with him instead of him?
The Houston Rockets' record this season is similar to the previous seasons, and they are either fifth or sixth. They themselves hope to be fifth, because they will play against the Trail Blazers rather than the Lakers. No one wants to meet the Purple Gold Nobles who are getting better and better in the record. After losing eight consecutive times in the early season, they can still catch up to the top three, which is enough to show that their strength is definitely not inferior to the Clippers and the Spurs.
1 Clippers (59 wins and 13 losses), 2 Spurs (55 wins and 17 losses), 3 Lakers (50 wins and 22 losses), 4 Trail Blazers (48 wins and 23 losses), 5 Rockets (49 wins and 23 losses), 6 Hornets (47 wins and 25 losses), 7 Mavericks (43 wins and 29 losses), 8 Jazz (42 wins and 30 losses), 9 Thunder (42 wins and 30 losses).
The rankings of the top six in the West will basically not change much. The suspense is still the Mavericks, Jazz and Thunder, who will be eliminated. If you look at the schedule, the difficulty of the three teams is almost the same. It is hard to say who can break through the siege.
Adelman was not very determined to win in this game. Anyway, they couldn't make it to the top four no matter how they chased. It's unreasonable to fight to the top four. So the Rockets only attacked but not defended today. Such a game looks good, with both sides going back and forth, basketballs moving in, and the fast increase in scores made fans happy. But those who know the ball know that there is no suspense in such a game. The Rockets only had one or two sets of tactics back and forth, and Adelman didn't prepare for this game at all. The last quarter will inevitably collapse.
The game really developed like this. The two teams tacitly agreed to the first three quarters and fought a big offensive battle with only one goal, that is, to score points. In the fourth quarter, the Clippers began to defend Yao Ming in a targeted manner. After a few minutes of joint defense, an attack wave easily solved the Rockets.
Adelman seemed to have a very slow response in the last quarter, but he was not really slow, but he had no adjustment at all. Facing the Clippers, the number one in the league, the Rockets' goal today is to fight casually.
As soon as the Rockets lose, the gap with the Hornets immediately has only two games left. As long as they lose two more games next, they will have the same record as the Hornets. However, the Rockets are not worried. After the All-Star game, their record is getting better and better. Marbury, who traded from New York, played at the All-Star level in Houston. The Rockets' strength is not inferior to McGrath's time, because the Rockets' substitute lineup is far better than in previous seasons, Brooks, Kyle Lowry, David Lee, Weaver, and Mutombo. It can be said that the Rockets are the strongest this year. Their main players are well equipped, their substitutes have outstanding substitutes, and their coaches are also first-class.
After the game, Ji Guoxiong did not get into trouble in Houston, so he went directly to Yao Restaurant to contact the little giant. The dead fox finally bought Ji Guoqiu's credit card.
After the Clippers finished their game against the Rockets, all the games ended in March, and it was the time to award the end of the month. The two brothers' data this month were similar to last month. The giant Pandas' rebounds rebounded, but their scores were still below the average level, which was related to their reduced playing time. However, not only them, but other strong teams also began to reduce their core playing time in March, and did not dare to use core players too much, and were worried that their stars would be injured before the playoffs. That was a year of hard work.
In March, Ji Guochou averaged 18.8 points, 13.8 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 3.4 blocks, 3.2 turnovers, with a shooting percentage of 54.3%, a three-point shooting percentage of 43.1%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 91.1%.
In March, Ji Guomeng averaged 24.1 points, 10.1 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 2.6 blocks, 2.4 turnovers, with a shooting percentage of 51.2%, a three-point shooting percentage of 42.8%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 91.5%.
The data of the two brothers in March is still one of the best performers in the environment where most of the stars have declined. However, the award of "Player of the Month" is also closely related to their status. The personal data and team record have met standards, and we also need to look at the qualifications of the martial arts world. In this regard, the two are temporarily a little different from Kobe, James and others. If you get it once, it is the limit. Unless their data that month is against the sky, the league will not be able to give them this award again.
The Western Conference Player of the Month Award this month was awarded to Chris Paul, the Queen Bee averaged 21.9 points, 3.5 rebounds, 11.8 assists and 2.5 steals per game in March, with a shooting percentage of 48.1% and a three-point shooting percentage of 38.2%.
The Eastern Conference Player of the Month Award was awarded to Dwight Howard of the Magic. The Warcraft averaged 22.5 points, 13.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 3.5 blocks this month, shooting percentage of 58.5% and free throw percentage of 60.8%.
"Damn, can't our data compare to the two of them? Our team's record is better than theirs. The league clearly only wants us to get the best of the month. Do you still have to queue up for this thing?" Ji Guomomiy returned to Los Angeles and was complaining about the league's seniority ranking. This is no different from the country. It's too dark.
Ji Guoqiu's attention is not on this award. He focuses on the block list and the rebound list. He ranks first in both honor lists, but the gap with the second is very small. He has no idea whether he will be overtaken in the end. However, he knows that if he can get these two honors, he will officially be qualified to compete with James for MVP, and the best defensive player (DPOY) is almost certain that he will belong to him.
2008-2009 season rebounds: No.1 Ji Guoqiu, averaged 13.9 per game, no.2 Dwight Howard, averaged 13.8 per game.
2008-2009 season block list: No.1 Ji Guoqiu, averaged 3.6 per game, no.2 Dwight Howard, averaged 3.4 per game.
Ji Guomeng doesn't have so much to worry about. Although his average score exceeds 25 points, he has to compete for the scoring champion at least 30. This season he has no hope and only wants to beat Durant. That guy has surpassed him in the average score. Ji Guomeng is now muttering, "Damn it, you deserve to be in the playoffs."
The Thunder have recently been one of the main targets of the Clippers. The former battle with the Jazz for eighth place is very fierce. The Clippers are the first, and their opponent in the playoffs is the eighth place. Maybe the final opponent is the young Thunder.
Before the game against the Hornets, Ji Guoqiu smiled at the Dead Fox and said, "Looking at you that you are so unhappy, we are fighting with the Thunder. Can you teach Durant a lesson? The coach may send you to guard that guy."
Ji Guomo thought that this was right. He was likely to play against Durant when he fought against the Thunder. Old Dunleavy might let him, who was close to his size and athletic ability, defend Durant. It would be nice to eliminate the Thunder by himself.
"I also hope to meet the Thunder, but they have to fight for themselves to defeat the Jazz first. If they can't even enter the playoffs, it would be useless."
The Clippers played against the Hornets today, of course they were not waterproof, but Chris Paul, who just won the Player of the Month, exploded again, and David West, who was in excellent form, the Hornets' Gemini teamed up to steal a victory from the Clippers at Staples.
Old Dunley Wei was a little sad. He made mistakes in the on-site arrangements several times today. After the game, he could only take responsibility for the team's 14th game of the season on himself. However, even if he lost this game, the Clippers still have a chance to win 65+ games.
On April 5, the Clippers played against the Denver Nuggets away, and only the Nuggets who could enter the playoffs theoretically were left. The internal turmoil began to begin. If a team with a star in the year of playing, if the record is not good, the coach's dismissal will inevitably be eliminated. Even if George Carl has a very high status in the Nuggets, the reality is cruel. The team makes money by stars rather than coaches, so after George Carl lost this game, he could only take the blame and get rid of the get out of class in disgrace.
This may not be a bad thing for George Carl, maybe his throat will not hurt from now on.
Ji Guochou scored 20 points, 18 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks, while Ji Guomomiya scored 25 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks.
On April 6, the Clippers once again played against the Los Angeles Lakers at the end of the season. This was the last Los Angeles derby of the season and the first time the Lakers fought against their arch-rivals in the same city after the trade.
Tyson Chandler was very optimistic about this game before the game. This defensive center who came from the Hornets in February actually did not play for the Lakers for the first time in mid-March. Back injury is the injury that affects the player's performance the most. Although Chandler's injury can play, it will definitely affect his performance and slow down the time for his injury to heal. Maybe it will aggravate the injury.
Before the Lakers traded Tyson Chandler, their record was getting better and better, so after the trade, they did not rush to let the boxer play on the court, but let him recover from his injuries first. The real use of the boxer is in the playoffs, when his defensive ability was crucial to the Lakers. So in the first month after joining the Lakers, Chandler could only sit on the sidelines in a suit and watch the game. However, Chandler, who has been practicing with the team, has gradually integrated into the Lakers' tactics.
