Chapter 433: 50 Victorious Warriors
The day after the NCAA game, the Warriors won at home against the Nets. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
It was the Warriors' 50th win and became the fourth team to win 50 games this season, ahead of the Pistons, Spurs and Mavericks.
The Warriors are 50-24 and have eight games remaining.
Last year, the Warriors were 49-33, one step away from the 50-win mark, and this year the Warriors went one step further and finally broke through to 50 wins, and 50 wins in the league means the top teams, the league is strong.
Since the '93-94 season, the Warriors have won 50 games again, and many old fans have tears in their eyes.
Such a warrior has completed its self-transformation, caught up with and even surpassed the previous generation of warriors, and inherited the glory of the past.
With 50 wins, the Warriors have a chance to improve their win to 55 wins.
This is a breakthrough season for Yang Di, and if he can get 55 wins, he will surpass Steve Nash in terms of record and personal data, and Nash, who was the MVP last season, is also recognized as a player who can win the MVP this season.
Last season, the reason why Nash won the MVP was because he changed the Suns, making the Suns suddenly go from a weak team in the West to the top team in the league with 60 wins. And this season, the Suns' Jr. is reimbursed for the season, but Nash still leads the Suns to play a pleasing offense, and even the record is not at all inferior to those teams with a complete lineup.
This kind of performance is not at all called MVP.
And Yang Di, in addition to Byron Davis, most of the players in the team are rookies or young players who have only played in the league for a year or two, and Yang Di leads some players like this to play strong, which is also very convincing.
This is where the American media is embarrassed, and the MVP selection actually started a dispute between two foreign players, and there is basically nothing to do with the players in the United States.
The 50-win Warriors made Yang Di feel gratified, as if he had climbed over the hurdles, and there was a sense of smoothness after the breakthrough.
Yao Ming, James, Wade and others sent text messages to Yang Di to congratulate him.
James has not yet tasted 50 wins, and in the remaining games, the Cavaliers have the opportunity to hit 50 wins, and they are deeply envious of the achievements achieved by Yang Di and others one step ahead.
"Dwyanne got 59 wins last year, almost 60 wins, and you have a good record this year, and it's very likely that the season will end up with more than 55 wins, but I didn't expect me to be behind you."
"You have a chance to win 50 too." Yang Di felt that James was too anxious, and according to the current state of the Cavaliers, even if he didn't get 50 wins, he would have a lot to do in the East.
The Mavericks have had an excellent record in recent times, and by the end of the regular season, the veteran driver was rushing forward, and if it weren't for the fact that he was in the same division as the Spurs, he could even be ahead of the Warriors.
After beating the Nets, the Warriors have a 1.5-game lead over the Suns.
At this time, the Spurs have won 57 and lost only 16 games, and the Pistons, the league's No. 1 team, have 60 wins.
As the playoffs approached, the players were getting their homework done, and the Warriors coaching staff held meetings to discuss tactics.
The playoffs have a playoff style of play, and different teams must be prepared differently.
For example, the teams in the second half of the group to be considered in the first round, according to the current record ranking, the Warriors are very likely to end the regular season journey with the second record in the West, so the opponent they meet is the seventh in the West.
Every year in the NBA, the last few teams compete for a playoff spot.
Now, the Jazz and Kings are gradually showing a weak trend, and the Memphis Grizzlies, Los Angeles Clippers and Los Angeles Lakers are indistinguishable, hovering in the 6th, 7th, and 8th places respectively, and they can definitely enter the playoffs.
The Warriors' coaching staff wants the Warriors to play against the Clippers.
"The strength of the Clippers lies in the inside, in the play of Elton Brand, this season, Elton Brand can average 24.7 points, 10 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per game, in terms of position, function and performance on the court, there is almost no difference with Yang Di."
At the Warriors coaching staff meeting, Ron Adams spoke.
He introduced the Clippers, analyzed the Clippers lineup, and then concluded: "And our strongest point is Yang Di, although Yang Di has made outstanding progress on the offensive end this season, but in terms of court performance, Yang Di is more threatening on the defensive end, and his defense and rebounding are often the key to our Warriors opening up the point difference and playing an offensive high." ”
"But the Clippers still have outstanding players such as Corey Margetty and Sam Cassel and Mobley, especially the first two, who can contribute an average of 17 or 18 points per game, and have strong offensive firepower from the outside, can our outside line take on such a heavy defensive task?"
There are also assistant coaches who disagree with Adams.
Adams retorted: "Corey Margeti has only played 32 games this season, most of them as a substitute, and Cassel is 37 years old and I don't think he can have an advantage in the position with Byron. He paused and continued, "And, I think in terms of outside threats, the Lakers have Kobe, the Grizzlies have Mike Bibby, Eddie Jones, Bobby Jackson and a bunch of sharpshooters, and obviously the Clippers are better to deal with." ”
Coaches discuss the right first-round opponents for the Warriors, and then gradually pull out a list of players who are primarily threatened, and for those who need special attention, the red star is usually the core of the team, such as Elton Brand, Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol.
After sorting out the information, it is given to each player to study in player meetings and team training.
"Elton Brand, Pau Gasol, Lamar Odom." As soon as Yang Di got three pieces of paper, he thought that it would be easy to deal with the Lakers, Odom's defense he knew, and with his current ability, there was no problem at all to defeat Odom, and the other two were players with particularly long arms and good at interfering with blocks, and they were not as easy to deal with as Odom.
Deep down, he is eager to play against the Lakers, but because of Kobe's explosive performance this season, no team wants to meet the Lakers led by him, and maybe they will become a background team in the playoffs.
And because of the small year of the 06 draft, there are not many teams that are bad this year, and the Knicks in the East and the Trail Blazers in the West originally did not want to become the vice president of the league. Especially for the Knicks, General Manager Isaiah Thomas even shouted the championship slogan after last summer's blockbuster trade, which now looks like a big joke.
In the rich atmosphere of the official rendering of the playoffs, the Warriors started the journey of the last eight games.
