Chapter 649: Ranking Competition One

Kobe Bryant's fighting spirit was strong, and in the fourth quarter, when his physical strength was seriously declining, he could still score some difficult step-back jumpers to try to save the Lakers' decline.

Although Yang Di is a little wet on offense tonight, he still has great effectiveness on the defensive end, and Lamar Odom has not scored a double-double so far, and the fans are at a loss like a college student about to graduate.

There wasn't much of a discrepancy in the decision, and the boos from the fans were gone.

Yang Di played 6 minutes in the last quarter, and after the break, he sat quietly on the sidelines to watch his teammates perform.

In the end, the Warriors won the game 99-87, and Yang Di only scored 11 points in the game, but he grabbed 13 rebounds and handed out four blocks.

Bryant scored a game-high 28 points, and as soon as the game was over, he immediately left the arena with his head down.

The best of the match went to Louis Williams, who came off the bench to score a career-high 21 points and spoke to reporters after the game.

"We're heading towards the playoffs, it's a very unique experience, we won the championship last year, and even though the squad isn't the most complete now, we believe we can still win the championship, the playoffs are a bigger stage and I want to show myself better."

Team bigwigs such as Yang Di and Ray Allen praised the young man one after another, saying in the interview that Louis Williams has made good progress and has now become an important player for the Warriors.

The Warriors were at home in the last few games of March, including one at home against the Spurs.

The two teams are involved in the battle for qualifying, the Spurs are now 49-20, the Warriors are 50-19, the two teams are exactly one win apart, if the Warriors lose to the Spurs, the record of the two teams is the same, according to the situation of the two teams this season, the final ranking If the two teams have the same record, the Warriors will be behind the Spurs.

This is something that the Warriors don't want to see, so this game is also seen as a key battle.

Neither the Warriors nor the Spurs wanted to lose, and the two teams met like Mars hitting the Earth, which caused a lot of attention.

Yang Di's form has picked up in this game, the Warriors lost the previous two matchups with the Spurs, how can they win one game this season, otherwise in the playoffs, the players will have no confidence in the first place.

Home, Oracle Center Arena.

Yang Di went on a blast and scored 39 points and 12 rebounds above Tim Duncan's head as the Warriors won the game 102-99 at home and retained their lead in the standings.

The Spurs lost one game and their record slipped to 49-21, while the Houston Rockets are currently 49 wins, just losing 2 more games.

Eyes turn to Houston, where the Rockets are challenging the Clippers and Lakers in Los Angeles in a row.

The day after the Spurs lost to the Warriors, the Rockets beat the Clippers 92-80 for their 50th win of the season, boosting the Houstonians' confidence.

The Rockets want to overtake the Spurs and don't want to meet the Warriors in the first round, and Van Gundy and others believe that the Jazz, who have entered the playoffs for the first time in recent years, are not experienced enough, while the Warriors players are both strong and experienced.

In the game against the Los Angeles Lakers, it became the focus of the battle.

Kobe and Maddy, the pair of Jordan's successors who have been shouting for ten years, from the Magic to the Rockets, Maddie has gradually changed from a super scorer like chopping melons and vegetables, like an all-round forward, also to adapt to the Yao Mai combination, to adapt to Yao Ming's increasingly strong personal offensive ability.

As a result, this game played an extremely exciting battle against the bombardment.

Bryant scored 53 points in this game, and Battier's defense was like paper paste in front of him, and when he fell into a rampage, no one could limit him.

Yao Ming was ferocious, scoring a career-high 48 points and grabbing 13 rebounds and hitting 19 of 20 free throws, breaking a bunch of records in Rockets history.

Maddie is relatively mediocre, with only 22 points and 5 assists, which is completely at the level of an average All-Star player.

The Rockets are on a winning streak, and the competition for the middle of the West is particularly fierce.

In the East, the 76ers and Pacers are gradually weakening and have a tendency to withdraw from the playoff roster race, and the Magic, Wizards, and Nets have similar records, and anyone can be the sixth and the eighth is likely to be the eighth.

The Pistons have a three-game lead over the Cavaliers and are firmly on top trade in the East, and many teams are reluctant to play the Pistons.

Although the Pistons have lost a lot of money, after all, they are still the strongest team in the East, Billups, Hamilton and others are still in their prime, the team's defense is still very strong, and the combat power has declined, and it is much stronger than the average team, especially the Wizards and the Nets, who don't want to touch the Pistons at all.

Several teams compete for higher rankings, and every game becomes especially important.

The bottom few teams in the league include the Celtics, Grizzlies, SuperSonics, Bucks, Timberwolves, etc., except for the Celtics, they are basically small-ball city teams.

The Grizzlies were in the first half of the season, and the core Gasol was injured, resulting in a very bad record, and the whole team lost their ambition and became a fish belly.

The Celtics and the Grizzlies reversed, and in the second half of the season, Paul Pierce suffered an injury and was sidelined, and the Celtics' record fell all the way to the bottom of the East.

As for the SuperSonics and the Bucks, they are both very young teams, and there are no All-Star level players in the team for the time being, the team is still focused on cultivating young players, and the SuperSonics are a little better.

The most embarrassing is the Timberwolves, after the disintegration of the three-headed monster, the record has been declining, Garnett still ensures a very high attendance rate, and also obtained an all-round superstar stats of 22.4 points, 12.8 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.7 blocks per game, but it seems to be useless.

The Timberwolves are still the belly of the fish, and the argument about whether Garnett can only get good data and can't lead the team to victory has gradually jumped to the comment channels of major media newspapers.

This makes Garnett sit still, even if he loves this land, no matter how deep his love is, but after all, he is 31 years old, he can't see the hope of the Timberwolves winning the championship at all, and what is even more uncomfortable is that he, as a recognized superstar in the league, can't lead the team to win and keeps losing.

The taste of losing is not pleasant, and the endless loss is like a whirlpool that can devour people's fighting spirit, and when you are no longer young and enthusiastic, you will slowly change your thinking.
