Chapter 465: The Last Derby

PS: That's the last game of the regular season.

On March 30, the Clippers' final game of the month, still against a Texas team, took the train to Houston the next day to finish with the Rockets.

Before Ji Guoyi left, he still left the phone number of the blonde beauty named Jill, and of course he also left the phone number for the other party - the mobile phone of the giant panda.

"I finally know why Vanessa said that Kobe Bryant has had affairs in dozens of cities, and the star wants a one-night stand, and it's really simple." Ji Guozhi was on the train, still reminiscing about yesterday's affair, and said shamelessly: "Before I left, Sister Jill also vaguely said that the next time I come to San Antonio to call her, do you think I am particularly attractive?" ”

Ji Guoqiu looked envious, jealous and hateful, and said in his heart: "Be careful, it's not 'her', if it's 'him', I'll see how you die." ”

"Bah, dare you say you didn't peep yesterday?"

"I'm afraid you'll be robbed."

Ji Guoqiu's excuse, even he felt blushing, so he didn't care about the cheap and well-behaved dead fox, and thought about it intently, why did they look the same, and the sister asked him instead of himself?

The Houston Rockets' record this season is similar to that of previous seasons, and it looks like either fifth or sixth. They themselves hope to be fifth, because when the time comes to play against the Trail Blazers instead of the Lakers, no one wants to meet the Purple and Gold Aristocrats with a better and better record, and they can still catch up to the top three after eight consecutive losses in the early part of the season, which is enough to show that the strength is in no way inferior to the Clippers and Spurs.

1 Clippers (59-13), 2 Spurs (55-17), 3 Lakers (50-22), 4 Trail Blazers (48-23), 5 Rockets (49-23), 6 Hornets (47-25), 7 Mavericks (43-29), 8 Jazz (42-30), 9 Thunder (42-30).

The top six rankings in the West will basically not change much, and the suspense is still on who will be out of the three teams, the Mavericks, Jazz and Thunder. If you look at the schedule, the difficulty of the three teams is about the same. It's hard to say who will make it out.

Adelman is not very interested in winning this game. Anyway, no matter how much they chase them, they can't break into the top four. There is no reason to fight with the first in the league. So the Rockets only attack and don't defend today, such a game looks good, you come and go on both sides, basketball brushes and brushes in, and the score rises so fast that fans are happy. But anyone who knows the ball knows that there is no suspense in such a game, the Rockets have one or two sets of tactics back and forth, and Adelman is not prepared for this game at all. The final stanza is bound to collapse.

The game really developed like this, and the two teams tacitly fought an offensive battle in the first three quarters, with only one purpose, that is, to score points. In the fourth quarter, the Clippers began to defend Yao Ming, and after a few minutes of joint defense, an attack wave easily eliminated the Rockets.

Adelman looked extremely slow to react on the spot in the final quarter, but he wasn't really slow, he didn't adjust at all. Facing the league-leading Clippers. The goal of the Rockets today is to fight casually.

As soon as the Rockets lost like this, the gap with the Hornets was immediately reduced to two games. With just two more losses, they have the same record as the Hornets. But the Rockets are not worried, their record is getting better and better after the All-Star break, Marbury, who was traded from New York, played at an All-Star level in Houston, and the Rockets are now no less powerful than the Maddie period, because the Rockets bench at this time is far better than in previous seasons, Brooks, Kyle. Lowry, David Lee, Weaver, Mutombo, it can be said that this year's Rockets are the strongest, their main configuration is balanced, the bench strength is outstanding, and the coach is also first-class.

Ji Guoqi didn't mess with flowers in Houston after the game, and went directly to Yao Restaurant with the giant panda to contact the little giant, and the dead fox finally swiped Ji Guoqiu's credit card.

After the Clippers played the game against the Rockets, all the games in March were over, and it was time for the awards at the end of the month, and the number of the two brothers this month was about the same as last month, and the Pandas' rebounding rebounded somewhat, but the scoring was still below average, which was related to the decrease in their playing time. However, not only them, but other strong teams also began to reduce the playing time of their core players in March, not daring to use their core players too much, fearing that their stars would be injured before the playoffs, and it was really a year of hard work in vain.

In March, Ji Guoqiu averaged 18.8 points, 13.8 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 3.4 blocks and 3.2 turnovers per game, shooting 54.3% from the field, 43.1% from three-point range, and 91.1% from the free throw line.

In March, Ji Guoyi averaged 24.1 points, 10.1 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 2.6 blocks and 2.4 turnovers per game, shooting 51.2% from the field, 42.8% from three-point range, and 91.5% from the free throw line.

The two brothers' numbers in March are still among the best in the table despite the decline of most stars. However, the award of "Player of the Month" also has a lot to do with status, the number of individuals and the team's record are up to standard, and you have to look at the qualifications of the rivers and lakes. In this regard, the two are still a little worse than Kobe, James and others for the time being, and it is the limit to get it once, unless they are against the sky for the month, otherwise it is impossible for the league to give them this award again.

This month's Western Conference Player of the Month award was presented to Chris. Paul, Queen Bee, averaged 21.9 points, 3.5 rebounds, 11.8 assists and 2.5 steals per game in March, shooting 48.1% from the field and 38.2% from three-point range.

The Eastern Conference Player of the Month award was presented to the Magic's Dwight of the Month. Howard, the Monsters averaged 22.5 points, 13.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 3.5 blocks per game this month, shooting 58.5% from the field and 60.8% from the free throw line.

"Damn, aren't we as good as the two of them? Our team has a better record than theirs, and the league clearly only wants us to win the best of the month once, so is this thing still in line? On the way back to Los Angeles, Ji Guoyi kept complaining about the alliance's seniority, which is no different from that in China, it's too dark.

Ji Guoqiu's attention is not on this award, he pays attention to the block list and the rebounding list, he ranks first in both honor lists, but the gap with the second is very small, and it is not clear whether he will be overtaken in the end. However, he knew that if he could get his hands on those two accolades, he would officially qualify for the MVP with James, and the Best Defensive Player (DPOY) would be almost certain for him.

2008-2009 Rebounding Rankings: No. 1 Ji Guoqiu, 13.9 per game, No. 2 Dwight Howard, 13.8 per game.

2008-2009 Season Blocks List: No. 1 Ji Guoqiu, 3.6 per game, No. 2 Dwight Howard, 3.4 per game.

Ji Guoyi doesn't have so many things to worry about, although his average score per game is more than 25 points, but if he wants to compete for the scoring title, he has no hope this season, he just wants to overpower Durant, that guy has surpassed him in average points per game, Ji Guoyi is now thinking about nothing, "Damn big brush, you deserve not to enter the playoffs." ”

The Thunder have been one of the main targets of the Clippers lately, and the battle between the former and the Jazz for the eighth place is very fierce, the Clippers are the first, their playoff opponent is the eighth, and the final opponent is the young Thunder.

Before the game with the Hornets, Ji Guoqiu smiled at the dead fox: "Look at you so unhappy, we are fighting with the Thunder, can't you just teach Durant a lesson, the coach may send you to guard that guy." ”

Ji Guozhi thought that this was right, he was likely to play against Durant when he played the Thunder, and the elder Dunleavy might let him defend Durant, who was close in size and athleticism, and it would be good to eliminate the Thunder by himself when the time came.

"I also hope to meet the Thunder, but if they want to fight for their own luck and kill the Jazz first, if they can't even make the playoffs, it will be in vain."

The Clippers played against the Hornets today, of course, without waterproofing, but just won the Player of the Month Chris. Paul exploded again, plus David, who was in excellent form. West, the twin stars of the Hornets teamed up to steal a win from the Clippers at Staples.

The old Dunleavy was a little sore, he had a few business trips on the court today, and after the game, he could only take the responsibility for the team's 14th loss of the season on himself, but even if he lost this game, the Clippers still had a chance to win 65+.

On April 5, the Clippers played away against the Denver Nuggets, leaving only the Nuggets who could theoretically enter the playoffs. Karl's status with the Nuggets is extremely high, but the reality is cruel, the team makes money by stars rather than coaches, so George. After losing this game, Karl could only put the pot on his back and leave the class gloomily.

This pair of George. It wasn't necessarily a bad thing for Carl, maybe his throat wouldn't hurt anymore.

Ji Guoqiu got 20 points, 18 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks, and Ji Guoqiu had 25 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks.

On April 6, the Clippers played against the Los Angeles Lakers again at the end of the season, which was the last Los Angeles derby of the season and the first time the Lakers played against their rivals in the same city after being traded.

Tyson. Chandler was looking forward to the game before the game, as the defensive center, who was traded from the Hornets in February, actually made his first appearance for the Lakers in mid-March. Back injuries are the most affecting injuries for players, and although Chandler's injury can play, it will definitely affect his performance, and it will also slow down the time for the injury to heal, and if it is not done, it will exacerbate the injury.

The Lakers are trading for Tyson. Before Chandler, the record was getting better and better, so after the trade, they were not in a hurry to let the boxing king play, but let him recover from his injury first. The real use of the boxing champion was in the playoffs, when his defensive ability was crucial for the Lakers. So in the first month after Chandler joined the Lakers, he could only sit on the sidelines in a suit and watch the game, but Chandler, who has been practicing with the team, has gradually integrated into the Lakers' tactics.

Phil. Jackson was pleased with his team's deal, saying after the deal was made, "Chandler's defensive ability and athleticism will take the Lakers' defense to the next level, and his passion for the game will give the Lakers more energy." (To be continued......)
