Chapter 178 : Perfect ending, 72 wins and 10 losses, first in the league!

“70 wins and 10 losses! With two games left in the regular season, the Jazz have locked in the league’s first position in advance. They are undoubtedly the best team in the league this season. !”

“The Bulls really don’t have a chance this time. For Michael, who was still publicly arguing about regaining the league’s first position in the regular season? For Jordan, this is definitely a huge blow. I don’t know if it will affect it. To the Bulls playoff game.”

“The battle for No. 1 in the regular season league has come to an end. The Jazz are the biggest winner. Next, our focus will shift to the playoffs. I don’t know which two teams will enter the finals this year. Personally, I am optimistic about the Bulls and the Jazz. From the perspective of their performance in the regular season, they can be said to be their own leaders. There is no third team in the league that can touch their edge!”

“The playoffs are certainly very exciting, but I am actually more concerned about whom the regular season MVP will eventually be awarded? Not surprisingly, it should be from Karl? Malone and Michael? Jordan chooses one between the two, and only two of them. Are eligible to compete for this honor.”

“Carl? Malone is averaging 28.7 points, 1 0.1 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.3 blocks per game this season. Even if it is put into his career for more than ten years, he can rank in the top four. With the second spring glow, coupled with the team’s better record, I think he has a good chance of being elected as the regular season MVP!”

“That’s not necessarily true, Michael? Jordan’s “three six zero” data is also explosive, averaging 30.5 points, 6.8 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 2.2 steals per game. The data is not inferior. The team record gap is actually not too big. In terms of popularity and influence, Karl Malone and Michael Jordan are far stronger than Karl Malone. The voting process should be able to get more votes, so I am more optimistic that he can be elected.” “In terms of popularity and influence, Karl? Malone and Michael? Jordan? It is true that the gap is a bit big, and it is excusable if you can’t be elected as the MVP of the regular season. After all, with their two performances this season, it can be justified for whoever is elected.”

“99 Regarding the Jazz winning the league’s first honor in the regular season ahead of schedule, the fans and spectators are paying very much attention, and discussion is naturally indispensable.

And the Jazz and Carl as the parties involved? On Malone’s side, there is no time to pay attention to these things. Their current task is to complete the regular season and then start preparing for the playoffs. Everything else has to stand aside…

At the end of the second day of the game with the Clippers, the Jazz generals rushed to Vancouver non-stop, and played away against the new Grizzlies in the league.

Because there is no pressure on the record, so for this game, the Jazz will go to head coach Jerry? Sloan, down to the players, they don’t really care. It doesn’t matter if you lose. Of course, it’s better if you win.

For a team like the Grizzlies that is unlikely to have an intersection with them in the playoffs, the Jazz actually have no idea about it at all.

This game can be regarded as a warmth to the league’s new army.

Since the start of this season, Wang Pan’s playing time has not been less than 20 minutes…

In this game against the Grizzlies, he only played for 15 minutes because of his physical fitness, not to mention the “auspicious three treasures” in the team. They all just played a cutscene and played twelve. It was over in three minutes.

I thought I had done this for myself, and the Grizzlies should be able to win this game.

Who wants the opposing team to cope with the pressure from the 76ers who are single-minded in the East, and to ensure that they can get the bottom of the league record this season, thereby increasing the probability of drawing the No. 1 lottery, the Grizzlies have thought about it all. To lose, the main players don’t even have 10 minutes to play.

Both offensive and defensive ends are played more casually, obviously because the head coach has given special instructions and requirements before the game.

The two teams themselves have a huge difference in strength, and the opponents are so persistent in wanting to lose. The Jazz finally failed to send this warmth. There was not much disturbance. The away game easily defeated the Grizzlies with a big advantage of 21 points. The team achieved their 71st victory this season.

Then they will return to the home court for the last regular-season game of the season. Their opponents are the old rivals, the Kings!

Although there was only one day’s rest and adjustment time during this period, the team did not exert much effort in this game against the Grizzlies, so Wang Pan maintained their physical fitness very well. It was because they were running back and forth, they were slightly tired. , But innocuous.



On the other hand, the Kings have a much tighter schedule, and I am afraid that their physical and mental conditions are not as good as Wang Pan.

Under such circumstances, on the evening of April 2+, in the Energy Solutions Arena, the Jazz’s final playoff game finally began…

Whether this game is lost or won, in the first round of the playoffs, the Jazz’s opponent will be the Kings.

There is no doubt that this is a preview of the first round of the playoffs!

So whether it’s the Jazz playing at home or the Kings playing away, they played very seriously in this game.

There are not too many reservations, it’s all focused on winning!

On the Jazz side, just as the old horses and Stockton had planned before, they played this game very seriously, determined to give their opponents an indelible impression and build a mentality for the playoffs. Advantage.

The Kings, who saw their intentions, naturally did not want to lose their momentum. Even if the Jazz were extremely strong and had never won a match during the regular season, they still have the heart to win and advance…

Black eight or something, there is not such a precedent in the history of the league. If other teams can do it, why can’t they?

From the beginning of this game, the Kings team is determined to play momentum, play confidence, and tell all those who are not optimistic about them, they can win!

In this way, the game was quite intense. Both sides of the game wanted to fight with all their strength, and the offensive end played extremely resolutely. The defensive end was no longer the intensity of the regular season, but directly rose to the defensive attitude of the playoffs.

It’s like this round…

“Bang~bang~bang~” Relying on the pick-and-roll of his teammates, Wang Pan successfully got rid of the distance between Richmond’s three positions, stepped straight into the basket, stomped on the floor and jumped high, thinking of finishing. Dunk, but was Brian? Grant pushed hard from behind, his body almost lost his balance in the air, dunking was impossible, he could only make a hard layup before flying out of the bottom line, the basketball knocked on the backboard, rebounded and fell into it. Inside the basket.

Wang Pan himself flew out of the bottom line, leaning on the basket to stabilize the center of gravity, and did not fall.

Inwardly, I feel very lucky. Fortunately, I have practiced the coordination attribute. Otherwise, in this situation, I will inevitably be pushed into a dog.

Let’s not talk about whether he is hurt or not, the picture is too lost, and it may be the pain of his career. For such famous scenes, Wang Pan refused.

I made up my mind, and the training of physical coordination must not be left behind.

The opponent just now undoubtedly pushed for a foul. The referee’s whistle sounded in a timely manner. Wang Pan, who made a layup, could still get an extra free kick.

He made a steady increase in the penalty and hit two plus one. Wang Pan took a deep look at Brian who fouled him just now? Grant, then turned back to defense.

If you have grudges, don’t avenge the non-gentleman!

Real man, revenge is never overnight!

In the defensive round, watching Bryan running forward to help Richmond with the pick-and-roll? Grant, did not choose to dodge, or go around as usual, Wang Pan slammed into it, and directly slammed the 2.06 meter man to the ground. The referee’s sharp whistle sounded immediately.



Ignoring this, Wang Pan stood there, condescending, looking calmly at Brian, who fell on his back, with an expression of pain on his face? Grant, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, but he shook his head slightly without saying anything. ? 0 The players around the Kings immediately quit, but before they came forward, the Lao Ma ran to Wang Pan’s side, glaring at the opponents, and protected Wang Pan. The home team fans in the arena also shouted loudly for Wang Pan, cheering for the team, and became their solid backing.

The other party’s dangerous foul against Wang Pan just now, they didn’t boo much. Wang Pan and the old horse didn’t bother or be reluctant. Now, Wang Pan has found one. The Kings are here. Helping guys can’t stand it anymore, they seem very petty and double standard. Salt Lake City fans say they are not used to this stinking problem!

In the end, the conflict was stifled in the cradle. After the players on both sides calmed down, the game continued.

However, the defensive actions of both sides have become much bigger in the rest of the game. Referee whistle sounded from time to time. Players have to go to the free throw line from time to time. The baskets of both sides have become jin fly zones. Whoever dares to take off must be prepared to be knocked into flight.

The defense of the outside line is also extremely tight, all kinds of small moves, all kinds of trash, all kinds of push exercises…Both sides played very angry.

In the eyes of the audience and fans, the two teams played as if not a regular season, but a playoff game.

Regarding the current situation on the court, the Jazz coach Jerry? Sloan feels a little dissatisfied, and it’s no one like this in a regular season.

Don’t make a few wounded before the playoffs, it’s not worth the gain.

There is a little entanglement inside, whether to let the players stabilize their rhythm and mentality, or to limit Malone’s playing time.

But seeing the gaze of the team’s generals on the field, Jerry? Sloan ultimately failed to do so.

Impossible to lose!

Especially for opponents like the Kings in the first round of the playoffs, they must not retreat a little bit.

Similarly, the Kings have the same idea, and they spare no effort to fight and fight on the field.

In this way, the game quickly entered the second half of the final quarter. After a few minutes of rest, Wang Pan appeared again. They looked at the situation where they were only leading by 8 points, their complexion was calm and calm, and their heart seemed to be burning. After a handful of fire, watching the opponent’s player on the field is full of fighting spirit!

The ball is still in their hands, as long as they can successfully score in the next offensive round, they can expand the point difference to double digits.

Can greatly impact the opponent’s self-confidence and morale.

5.9 With this thought, the final game continues…

Wang Pan received a pass while running without the ball, and sent the basketball to Carl without looking at others. In the hands of Ma Long, the old horse made a steady mid-range shot, but was strongly interfered by his opponent, and the basketball burst out of the basket.

Without waiting for the Kings to breathe a sigh of relief, Wang Pan quickly rushed into the basket from the free throw line area, jumped up with one foot, successfully rushed to grab a rebound, and followed the huge momentum of forward rushing, and everyone in the Kings looked horrified. Next, clutching the basketball with both hands, he smashed it into the hoop.

“Boom?!” Hanging holding the basket with both hands, Wang Pan excitedly made a stretch.

Then he landed steadily, and there were cheers in the arena. The teammates surrounded them with excitement, cheering and celebrating, while the opponent’s expression was stagnant, and the momentum was already overwhelmed by the Jazz team.

The turning point was Wang Pan’s dunk. During the subsequent game, as the score was always fluctuating up and down, the Kings tried many times and still couldn’t narrow the difference, let alone complete a comeback.

The morale of the team was low and low, and finally when the last two minutes of the game were left, the Kings chose to abandon the game and save their energy.

Successfully won the game, and the Jazz ended the regular season of the season with a victory against their direct competitors in the playoffs.

The team record is fixed at 72 wins and 10 losses, an unprecedented regular season record! ?
