Chapter 1128 [Unprecedented, Primary Goal]

On March 2, the Lakers defeated the Bucks back-to-back.

Bucks star Paul George has requested a trade from the team, he and Bledsoe can't lead the Bucks too far, and center Bogut's strength is declining year by year, and he is already an ordinary blue-collar worker.

Bogut played an average of 30 minutes per game, only 6.3 points, 10 rebounds and 2.2 assists, and his shooting ability completely deteriorated, and he couldn't score except for shooting in the restricted area.

However, it will be difficult for George to leave the Bucks, who made a name for himself here relatively early and has become an iconic figure of the team, and if the Bucks let him go, they will not even have a star who can rebuild around.

Young center Joel Embiid underwent a second right foot surgery in the summer and missed the entire 2015-16 season.

As a 2014 rookie pick, Embiid missed his entire rookie season due to a stress fracture in his right foot. He was found to be recovering less than expected in his right foot during a routine check-up last summer. A month later, the Bucks officially announced that the tanhua was in need of a second right foot surgery.

As an NBA-level center, Embiid has left the impression of a lack of calcium because of his good bones, which is really not a good sign, and many people think that he will become the second Oden, and the title of "The Great" is too unlucky.

He should be ready for training camp in 2016-17, but no one knows what level he can play.

The main task of the Bucks management right now is to stabilize George, and no trade in the medium term is a victory, and as long as Embiid comes back next season and performs well, it may be possible to save George's heart.

On the day off, the Lakers were hit by a big upset, losing away to the Suns, who have been in poor form lately.

Swingman Klay Thompson pumped off, and the defense was in the middle of the shot, and the bag was useless. He made 11 three-pointers in the game, scoring 28 points in the third quarter and six three-pointers in the quarter.

He finished with 52 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists, and made 11 of 16 three-pointers. He also had a lot of fouls after dumping, making 9 of 10 free throws.

After this game, Thompson averaged 25.2 points per game. He is already the recognized boss of the Suns, better than himself in the parallel world. However, he is now working hard to lead the Suns to the playoffs, and he can't get high in the playoffs.

Guo Xu scored 45 points, 4 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 steals in this game, and his score was slightly inferior to that of his younger brother back then.

At this time, people understood why Guo Xu retired, why he didn't want to come back in the Suns, he and Thompson partnered, and other teams simply didn't have any chance of winning, and Guo Xu was flanked and Thompson was dead.

This is the sixth loss for the Lakers, and the Warriors have lost six games and are still second behind the Lakers at halftime.

This year's regular season is extremely competitive, and it is likely that two teams with 70+ wins will be seen at the same time, setting a record.

The Spurs in the West are not bad, with a current 52-9 record, and they are almost certain to win 60+ games, placing a proper title in the East, but only in third place in the West.

Since Jordan's retirement, the pattern of strong West and weak East has continued, and if the West wins the championship again this year, it will be 18 consecutive years of championship. It has been suggested that the East-West division should be eliminated so that the stronger teams can meet later.

A team in the East has a two-thirds of the season against teams in the East, and about one-third of those threes are teams with less than half of the winning percentage, so the schedule of teams in the East is much easier than that of teams in the West.

Of course, it is impossible to cancel the East and West.

If this is done, the number of times teams in the East and West will play each other will increase, and even though each team now has charter flights, it will still increase the amount of time the teams spend on the road. For example, flying from San Francisco to Orlando takes 6 hours, not counting the time from the airport to the hotel, which greatly reduces the rest time of the players and increases the chance of injury for the players.

The most important thing in the league is the players, and if a star is injured, it will be followed by a drop in ticket revenue and viewership. And in the playoffs, the increase in flight time will further exacerbate the situation of player injuries.

In addition, the local market in the United States will implement daylight saving time from the second week of March, from New York to Los Angeles, there is a 3-hour time difference, when Staples just started at 8 p.m., it was already 11 p.m. local time in New York, so the cancellation of the East and West will further affect the NBA ratings.

The Western Conference Championship Eight Achievements is the overall championship, and the home court advantage of the Western Conference teams in the playoffs is very important.

The Warriors players are now going all out to win, and all of them are on the tight side of the playoffs. The goal of the Lakers is not to have the best record, but to help Guo Xu brush up scoring data.

Guo Xu has long stopped paying attention to the record, and the best record in history is what he created with the Suns. For him, home and away games are all the same, and the emotions of the crowd can't affect his mentality.

He invited all the players to dinner together during the break, indicating that he wanted to fight for an average of 50+ per game and needed the cooperation of his teammates.

He made a cameo appearance as a coach and said that he wanted to change the lineup, and both the coach and the players said that it was no problem, and the star had such a voice as he did, which was unprecedented.

In the last month or so of the game, Guo Xu wanted to score the first goal, and the Lakers didn't care about defense, and they didn't play the dead five. Nurkic and Cornerstone Thackeray have increased their playing time, and their size is the most suitable for Guo Xu to cover, and after the cover, he will cut into the penalty area to attract the defense.

Guo Xu actually scored crazy points before, and he was even more powerful when he covered up, scoring 62 points and 5 assists against the Wizards on March 6, and finally hit a three-point shot, winning 107-106.

Wall only got 11 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists, and was completely blown up by Guo Xu, and he couldn't break through without covering.

Wall was forced to cut back on his shots, which is precisely why the Wizards and the Lakers were deadlocked until the final quarter, with teammates scoring more efficiently than Wall, and Love seemingly shooting low and true shooting percentage beating Wall, averaging 2.2 three-pointers per game.

So far, Wall has averaged 19.9 points, 5 rebounds and 10.2 assists on 17.5 shots per game, shooting 42.4% from the field and 35.1% from three-point range, a career-high high.

All the players know that putting Wall two steps away is not a defensive shot, and on the premise that he has an open space every game, it is not a big deal to shoot this kind of shooting. This person, whose true shooting percentage has always been only about 50%, is recognized as the No. 1 core of the Wizards and the number of shots on the team.

Let this kind of player who can't attract the bag or even attract the close-fitting player as the core, the Wizards will never get a championship.

On March 8, the Lakers faced the Hawks at home, and Guo Xu was ready to brush this game fiercely, without worrying about being disgusted by fans or retaliating by the opponent's malicious foul.

The Hawks are admittedly underdogs, a team with no fighting spirit, currently sitting in the bottom third place in the East, just better than the bottom 76ers and Knicks. The Eagles are nowhere near as good as those two teams in terms of profitability, they're pretty weird and no one pays attention at all, no matter what they do.

In 2014, after Donald Sterling was exposed to racism and forced to sell the Clippers, Hawks owner Bruce Levinson issued a statement saying he was ready to sell a controlling stake in the team because of racism.

He actually just doesn't want to play anymore, so he doesn't want to sell his face.

In April 2015, a consortium led by Anthony Lesler and former NBA star Grant Hill officially bought the Hawks for $850 million.

The Eagles have just started a rebuild this season, and their goal is clearly to pick the top pick, and it doesn't matter what they lose. It's a pity that they are not very successful, not as good as two really bad teams......
