At the end of March, the Lakers' winning streak was ended and they lost to the Spurs on the road.

After four games between the two sides, the Lakers won 3-1. Although the Spurs sent the Lakers to a fifth loss, the two sides met in the playoffs, and the Spurs must be more than lucky.

The Suns and Lakers also played four games, 1-3, because O'Neal Jr. was out due to injury, and the Lakers had no pressure to abuse the Suns.

In April, the only team that is most capable of stopping the Lakers is the Mavericks, who have to win every game, because the record is two games behind the Spurs, the gap is not big, once they surpass the Spurs, they can rush to the second place in the West; If they don't catch up in the end, the Mavericks will have to fight the Suns in the first round of the playoffs.

O'Neal Jr. is back, the Suns are definitely the hardest bone to gnaw in the first round, no team wants to meet them, and no team wants to meet the Lakers in the second round! The NBA's ranking rules, as they did last season, are still unreasonable.

On April 2, the Mavericks challenged the Lakers away, and the whole team worked both offensive and defensive ends like they had taken a dope.

Terry, Nowitzki, and Josh Howard secured the attack, while Dampier and Haywood defended the box. Point guard Alston also played well in the Mavericks, with a solid organization, averaging only 5 assists per game, but rarely turnover, and being able to pull away and shoot three-pointers from the perimeter.

The Mavericks were led by David Wesley and Don Yell Marshall, who led the offense, and both had some quality.

In the end, 103-117, the Lakers lost the game.

The Lakers' poor shooting from the outside was the main reason for the loss. A lot of chances came out, and the defender couldn't catch the ball and throw it. Yao Ming and Kobe Bryant went to the low post to attack, and the Mavericks' interior defense was very solid.

The Mavericks tied the Lakers 2-2 in the regular season, the best of any team.

After the game, Yang Rui praised the Mavericks players, especially Nowitzki, who scored 36 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists in this game, and beat Rashid and Odom one-on-one.

Of course, this will not affect Yang Rui's confidence. "The Mavericks are a team that has the strength to compete for the championship, but the Lakers are stronger, and when we meet in the playoffs, we will definitely win."

On April 6, the Lakers lost 108-110 to the Nuggets on the road.

There was a hole in the West last season, that is, the sixth-ranked Nuggets, who could rely on the division championship to finish third, are not weak this season.

The Nuggets have added veteran Mutombo, the opposite of the outside - Hilario has returned from injury, plus Marcus Camby, blue-collar Reggie Evans from a mid-term trade, and the interior strength has been significantly strengthened.

Carmelo Anthony, Richard Hamilton, and Andre Miller are all in their prime, and Ruben Patterson and Boykins are also on the bench to lead the offense.

The game was intense, Anthony was in great shape, cutting 37 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists, and Hamilton also scored 18 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists.

Lakers Yao Ming had 21 points, 14 rebounds and 5 assists, and Kobe Bryant had 35 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists.

The Lakers lost to luck in the end, and with the final 1.7 seconds, they still had a two-point lead. Nuggets backup guard Greg Buckner caught the ball and hit a reversal buzzer-beating three-pointer to surprise everyone.

Buckner is just an ordinary role player, selected by the Mavericks in the second round 24 in '99, has been the No. 2 bench, and has not performed well, averaging 24.1 minutes per game, 6.7 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.2 steals per game.

Buckner only played 15 minutes in this game, shooting 4-of-8, 3-of-5 three-pointers, and 1-of-1 free throws, finishing with 12 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists. He not only shot a three-pointer in the final quarter, but also made a layup in an open cut, hitting Iguodala a 2+1.

This is the Lakers' seventh loss, and there are no strong teams behind them, and the Clippers, Hornets, Bobcats, Trail Blazers and other teams cannot pose a threat to the Lakers.

On April 19, the Lakers defeated the Hornets 115-95 in their final home game to ensure that the winning stars were full, and finally ended the regular season with a 75-7 overall record, thus setting a new regular season record.

Yang Rui let Yao Ming play for 40 minutes, and his teammates helped him brush up the data, and finally scored a big double-double of 34 points, 23 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 blocks.

At the post-game press conference, reporters from all over the world were sent to conduct interviews, and people knew how difficult it was to break this record, and the Bulls' 72 wins were already amazing.

What's even more surprising is that in the history of the NBA, there have only been four regular season 70+ wins, and the three times in the 21st century were all led by Yang Rui, one Raptors, two Lakers, and the Raptors almost played 70 wins in the 2001-2002 season.

Yang Rui expressed his feelings, but it was very bland. "I think it's normal, the Lakers have the best stars, the most depth of the roster, and at the beginning of the season my goal was to break the record, and I'm glad you did. There were a bit of ups and downs in the players' form, and we lost a few games at the start of February, but luckily we got back after the star game. ”

When asked by reporters about the playoffs, Yang Rui also said very simply: "I believe that the Lakers will successfully defend the title, and strength determines everything." ”

The reporters all hoped that Yang Rui could say a few more words, and it was best to have a poisonous tongue and pour some poisonous chicken soup on the opponent, but he couldn't say it.

After breaking the record, Yang Rui's biggest feeling was emptiness, just like when he was with the Raptors.

This is an experience that only those who stand at the top of a field have, Yang Rui has gained a lot of benefits by reborn memories, and has put together an all-star lineup twice, leaving the opponent helpless. But his favorite time to win the championship was actually the Wizards, because he didn't have the confidence to win the championship at that time, and the Wizards' lineup did not have an overwhelming advantage, and he had to be counted in other aspects.

That season with the Wizards, he felt the excitement and the most fulfilling.

This season, his greatest pleasure is to help Yao Ming brush up on his stats, help him win the MVP, and attract all the Chinese fans.

The 2nd-8th place in the West is the Spurs, Nuggets, Mavericks, Suns, Grizzlies, Jazz, and Clippers.

The Mavericks failed to catch up with the Spurs, but they did catch up with the Suns and had home-court advantage in the first round.

The strength of the 7th and 8th places in the West is average, the Jazz rely on the combination of Hinrich, Boozer, and Bogut to achieve 40 wins, and the Clippers catch the last train of the playoffs with a record of 39 wins.

9-15 are the Hornets, HyperSonics, Kings, Warriors, Rockets, Timberwolves, Trail Blazers.

At the top of the East is the Bulls with 64 wins, followed by the Heat, Celtics, Hawks, Nets, Raptors, Magic, and Wizards.

The Wizards' defense has been a mess this season, without Haywood, the rim has deteriorated, and with the departure of Gerard Wallace, the team has completely weakened.

The Wizards didn't poach Caron Butler, and the ball possession was a little lacking, and Arenas was different from Nash, a score-based guard, averaging 29.1 points and 6 assists per game, which led to Stadamyre's dissatisfaction with the number of shots, and he averaged only 20.5 points, 8.4 rebounds and 2 assists per game.

In the summer, Smalls will go to the free market, and he wants to go. In Yang Rui's previous life, Xiao Si renewed his contract with the Sun in advance.

The Pacers were unlucky, with center Brad Miller injured in the second half of the game, and suffered a seven-game losing streak on the inside, and finally missed the playoffs.

10-15 are the 76ers, Cavaliers, Bucks, Bobcats, Knicks.

The biggest upset this season is that the Knicks are bottom of the league with a 23-59 record, and the Bobcats have won three more games than them. The only good news is that the Knicks' draft pick isn't traded, and they can pick another high-pick rookie next season, likely the top pick.

The most improved team is the Eagles, and coach Mike Woodson is the favorite for best coach as a result.

Of course, he is just a candidate, and it is not convincing to want to defeat Yang Rui. The other pick was Mavericks' new coach Avery Johnson, presumably because he led the team to two wins over the Lakers......

Yang Rui's Best Coach Award, basically didn't run.
