i'm really an insider

Chapter 736 Chapter 733: After so many years, you still can't do it (5.2K begging tickets)
Gaso held the ball near the three-second zone and singled out Nick Collison, the oldest player on the Thunder.

These two guys, combined, are in their 70s.

In a game like the Thunder vs. the Trail Blazers, when these two stand on the court one-on-one, it usually means that the game has entered the game.

However, the point difference between the two sides is not big at this time, and the Thunder is only 6 points behind the Blazers.

But on the court, you can't see Durant, Turtle, Wayne and Curry.

I can only see a bunch of veterans and fringe people daring to fight on the court.

After all, this is already the penultimate regular season game between the two sides this season.

For the Thunder, this season's ranking cannot be changed.

They have no hope of catching up with the Warriors, Spurs and Trail Blazers, the Big Three in the West.

And the Clippers in fifth couldn't catch up with them, and the Thunder couldn't get up or down in fourth.

Therefore, Billy Donovan chose to lie down early and let the second young master take turns to prepare for the playoffs.

Of course, Second Young Master, don't be too happy.According to Donovan's style of play, the Thunder playoffs are estimated to have eight or even seven players in rotation.

Let them rest now, just to fuck harder later.

As for the Trail Blazers, because the 73-win Warriors no longer exist, the Spurs rank second, while the Trail Blazers and the Spurs have the same record, leading the Warriors by 3 wins.

In other words, if the Blazers lose the last few games, they may fall from first to third.

But Carlisle said that it doesn't matter at all. Judging from the situation of this season, among the top three, no matter how many times they enter the playoffs, the difficulty is similar.

The only opponents who can really break out of the West are the Warriors, Spurs, and Thunder. They will play these three opponents in the second round.

As for these three opponents, Carlisle believes that there is not much difference in strength, so there is no need to pick opponents.

Don't look at the Thunder's record as if they can't keep up with the top three in the Western Conference, but in the playoffs, they are definitely not weaker than the Spurs and Warriors.

The most important thing is that the elementary school student also suffered from a sprained knee in the last game. He will be absent for half a month, and he will not be able to play in the first round of the playoffs.

Although it was not a serious injury, it undoubtedly sounded the alarm for Carlisle.

Fortunately, Curry only missed the first round. Even without Curry in the first round, Carlisle is very confident.

Mosaic, Mavericks, Grizzlies: Just look down on people like that?
Wayne: Yeah, have a comment?To abuse you, I don't just operate things with one hand.

Therefore, at the end of the season, Carlisle planned to let the veterans find their status, and let the main players take turns to rest by the way.

Carlisle thinks it is still necessary to let the veteran find his status.

Although short rotations are popular among most teams now, Carlisle believes that long rotations are a safer way to rotate.

With short rotations, what if someone in your lineup gets hurt?
What if I get overdrawn after rushing to the second round and the third round?
These are all problems.

Let the veteran find his status, at least they can use it in the playoffs.

The more people who can use it, the more routines can be changed.

I, NBA Kim Kelly, have been in the arena for so many years. I rely on one trick to give the ball to Wei, or I rely on one trick to make unexpected substitutions.

Moreover, there is another reason why Carlisle insisted on long rotations in a game full of veterans this year-against Cole's five minors!

The Warriors and the Trail Blazers played against each other for the first time. Strictly speaking, there was no winner because of the fight between the two sides.

In the three matches after the All-Star break, the Blazers were beaten 1-2 and tied 2-2 with the Warriors throughout the season.

Of the two losses in these three games, one was due to the sudden enlightenment, and Ah Tang almost missed Tony with 25 points in a single quarter.

Although Tony defended well and made accurate judgments, Tom was able to score against that day, and Tony was also desperate!
And the second loss to the Warriors was because Kerr tried to soften the Blazers in the first three quarters that day.

Then in the fourth quarter, he played a three-pointer with a five-point rhythm to catch a counterattack and won the game in one fell swoop.

Carlisle has analyzed it before. Whether the opponent can be softened in the first three quarters is the key to whether the five small lineups can end the game in the fourth quarter.

In the playoffs, Cole will rely more on the five small lineups.

If you use a short rotation, it's not in Cole's arms.

So, in order to deal with Cole's warriors, Carlisle has to take the long rotation and refuse to die.

At this time, on the court, Gasol took two steps back and then turned around suddenly, trying to turn his back and break through.

But this time he failed to break through the opponent, instead he knocked himself down
No way, I haven't played for such a long time and I am a little excited.As soon as he turned around, he turned violently, and he couldn't stabilize his center of gravity.

Nick Collison was so frightened that his face turned pale. You old comrade can't go down this path when you're old!

I'm almost retired and I can't afford it!

Gaso sat on the floor, also very speechless.

I think back then, but Wayne and I teamed up to start the glorious era of the Blazers.

Turning around now, I almost didn't fall to my death, it's really time.

Paoer: I am the one who started the era, and me~
Gaso: Shut up, you didn't play in the finals at all!
Seeing this situation, Carlisle replaced Gaso and asked Ganey to go up and fight.

Gaso sat next to Wayne, unscrewed the bottle cap and prepared to drink water.

Just when the water was about to be drunk, Wayne bumped Gaso with his elbow, causing his sister-in-law to get wet.

The two looked at each other, then laughed at the same time.

Well, although they are all old, although the sister-in-law's beard is even a little gray.

But some things are still exactly the same as ten years ago.

One Chinese, one Spanish.Ten years ago, who would have thought that they could accomplish anything together?
Seeing Wayne and his sister-in-law giggling, Curry, who was absent due to injury, shook his head.

You two, when will you be more mature like me?
The game played for a few more minutes, and the Blazers had already led by more than 10 points.

Because both juniors didn't play, the Thunder's offense was weak.

Dion Waiters, who has had a heart of being the boss since he entered the league, only scored 25 points when he let go.

He was beaten by Jie Bao, who has scored 32 points so far.

Facts have also proved that the Thunder team is actually relying on the talents of the two juniors!

The last time the two sides played against each other, with Wayne's strong carry in the last 5 minutes, the Blazers finally defeated the Thunder again.

If they win again today, the Trail Blazers' record against the Thunder this season will become 3 wins and 1 loss.

The Thunder's lineup is not bad. Role players such as Adams, Robertson and Ibaka are all very capable.

But they don't have a very complicated system, and apart from the double juniors, there are very few third players who can stand up.

Therefore, as long as they can suppress Shuang Shao in terms of talent, they can suppress Thunder!
On the Blazers side, with Wayne and Curry, it is enough to suppress the duo.

From the Thunder to the Warriors, Carlisle has figured out how to deal with it.

As for the Spurs, to be honest, Carlisle is not too worried.

Although Aldridge is powerful, he must not be able to make any waves in front of Wayne.

As for Kawhi, he is immature, and it is difficult to carry the lead alone in the playoffs.

In the previous game against the Spurs, the Blazers were 4 wins and 0 losses, and this is proof.

After the last one and a half months of the regular season, to be honest, Carlisle is more confident about rushing out of the West.

For each team, he has figured out how to deal with it.

But there is only one team that makes Carlisle uneasy-the defending champion Cleveland Cavaliers!
In the game against the Cavaliers a month ago, the Blazers lost.

In that game, the first three quarters were very intense.But in the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers suddenly put on a brand new offensive on the offensive end.

James was always able to dislocate in front of Curry, and the others completely opened up the space.

And when the Blazers switch defenses or double-team, Lao Zhan can immediately play the ball to assist his teammates.

In the end, James succeeded in singles against Curry many times and closed the game.

That's right, Carlisle actually lost to Lu's ghost tactics!

Director Lu: Hehe, I am the champion coach.

Although it was just this trick, Director Lu was not afraid of Carlisle's research at all.Because even if you know the principle of this tactic, you may not be able to defend against it.

Later, when Carlisle and Wayne studied game film together, Wayne called it "the roll call."

The roll call is not simply to attack the opponent's defensive weakness through the pick-and-roll. The roll call has requirements for the initiator's singles success rate and offensive style.

First of all, the ball-handler must be able to stab the opposing players, have a super high hit rate in singles, and must be able to play men and women, and must be able to eat all sizes.

Because if you can only eat one or two people, as long as it is not an important role on the offensive end, the opponent can completely keep him from playing, and you have no one to point to.

Or just use the system to hide Tona like that like Green Kai's Stevens did.

But if you can call multiple people, and both big and small can fight, there is nothing you can do about convenience.

This requires the initiator's offensive method to be based on breakthroughs, because the outside shooting percentage is always impossible to be as high and stable as breakthroughs, and the destructive power to the defensive formation is insufficient.

The more important point is that the person who plays the roll call must have super ball ability and vision, that is, he can immediately punish the opponent's double-team or hesitation.

Otherwise, the opponent can double-team you without switching defenses when facing a pick-and-roll.

Being able to seize the fleeting opportunity in the pick-and-roll and pass the ball to the open position immediately is a must-have ability for roll call tactics.

To sum up, this is simply a tactic tailored for Lao Zhan.In terms of maximizing James' role, Lu's ability to guide is unprecedented.

After all, he is the man holding Lao Zhan's instruction manual.

Although this tactic is essentially to give the ball to James, and it remains the same, it is actually a bit reasonable.

As the head coach, the mission of Lu's guidance is to make the team more united, to let James play his best role, and everything is just to surround James, so as to lead the Cavaliers to achieve better results.

He did it.

No one can say for sure that if the Cavaliers change their coach, they will definitely be better than Director Lu.

So, Director Lu really deserves the title of champion coach.

With this trick, James can name Curry, Tony and McGee against the Blazers.

Curry and McGee will not talk about it, one is thin and the other is slow.

As for Tony, he is indeed a defensive fighter, but he has never been effective in defending tank players like James.

In the past years when the Blazers beat the Heat, Wayne defended James himself, and Tony defended Wade more.

But in the roll call tactic, it is not the Blazers who decide who defends James, but James himself.

Block if the person defending you is not ideal, and continue to block if you can't stop it once.

If he successfully forced a defense change, he played singles, and the opponent sent the ball out for an assist if he hesitated a little, which caught the Blazers off guard.

Of course, Carlisle has already figured out how to guard against the roll call tactics.

It's just because there is no chance to try love with the Cavaliers before marriage in the regular season, so I don't feel very good.

From the current point of view, the Cavaliers have the greatest uncertainty, and it is also Carlisle's biggest headache.

After all, he is the defending champion, so he really has strength.

This is probably the comparison between the Blazers and several championship teams after the last one and a half months of the game.

Just thinking about it, Billy Donovan stopped the game.

Carlisle looked up, good guy, the lead is more than ten points.

Du Xiaoshuai, who was wearing a construction suit, stood up, ready to high-five his teammates after the rest.

But maybe because of his strong aura, his teammates avoided him and walked past him one after another.

Du Xiaoshuai, who was ignored, froze for a moment, and could only pat his right hand with his left hand to ease the embarrassment.

Don't look at Du Xiaoshuai being stupid now, but he has always believed in his heart that he will definitely be able to do something this season!
A few minutes later, the game ended and the Blazers defeated the Thunder 114-103.

At this point, the Blazers have only two inconsequential games left to play this season.

The footsteps of the playoffs have come!
In the next two games, the Trail Blazers lightly defeated the Timberwolves and Nuggets, who had been determined to miss the playoffs, and finally regained the first title in the Western Conference with a record of 67 wins and 15 losses, advancing to the playoffs!

In the first season after Wayne came back, with the old and the young, he won 67 victories, but he hit the old thief of Vicky hard.

Although the Spurs also scored 67 wins this season, they could only rank second because of the direct dialogue with the Trail Blazers.

The most important thing is that the 67 wins in the regular season is the best record in the history of the Spurs, and it should have been one of the most glorious chapters in the old thief's coaching career.

However.
Your best record is nothing more than Wayne's random record.

Wayne won 67 wins in the first year of his comeback. People say that if Wayne shows the same energy to win 75 wins this season, it is not impossible to win 70 more.

Everyone can see that Wayne is still playing in the regular season.

Although there are occasional performances such as 66 points in three quarters and four doubles in three quarters, they are only occasional after all.

That's it, the Blazers can easily win 67 wins.

On the other hand, the Spurs did their best to win 67 times.

So although they both won 67 wins, they feel completely different.

After the last game of the Trail Blazers, the ownership of this year's data kings has basically been determined.

Curry won the scoring title with an average of 29.2 points per game. Because of Wayne, Curry's scoring average this season has shrunk a lot from the original 30.1 points per game.

But even so, no one can surpass Curry, because the second-ranked Hakishi only has 29.0 points.

It's so arrogant to be able to win the scoring champion after shrinking.

Wayne ranked fifth in the scoring list with an average of 26.3 points per game, just ahead of Lao Zhan.

This data is down from 12 points in Wayne's last season before retiring, that is, the 13-28.5 season, but not by much.

Still the same sentence, everyone can see that Wayne played in the regular season.After all, his physical fitness has dropped by eight points. It may not have any effect in a single game, but from the perspective of the entire season, physical fitness must still be used sparingly.

Can't work as hard all season as he did in his 20s.

Overall, Wayne still played near his peak during the regular season

Before the start of the season, many people questioned how much oil was left in Wayne's tank, and many people questioned whether Wayne could still help the team.

And Wayne told everyone with his excellent performance in 74 games: "I filled up the fuel tank before I came back!"

Don't ask why Wayne's full attendance is only 74 games, because Wayne not only maintains good statistics, but even the aspect of being suspended is very authentic.

Although the score is a little less, some of Wayne's other statistics are more than the last season before retiring!
Averaged 12.2 rebounds per game, a career high.He averaged 7.4 assists per game, also a career high.And the assists ranked ahead of Wayne are all point guards such as Rondo, Paul, and Rubio.

Among the forward players, Wayne and Dreaming Green tied for the first place in the assist list!

In addition, Wayne also sent 2.3 blocks and 1.2 steals.

See what's coming?

That's right, Wayne's regular season is really blue-collar.

Scoring got Curry, but more rebounds and assists.

In the future, Curry can tell everyone righteously: "Brother Wei? It's just blue-collar."

It's a pity that Wayne didn't get any title of data king this season.Although 12.2 rebounds and 2.3 blocks are a lot.

But helplessly, there are two major players, Drummond and Whiteside, in the current league.

One scored an exaggerated 14.4 rebounds in Detroit, and the other scored 2K. He couldn't get out of the three-second zone, ignored help defense and supplementary defense, just squatted under the basket, and averaged 3.7 blocks per game, which was terrible.

Of course, they're nothing, and that's okay.

When the man in the sewer wakes up, everyone will know what it means to destroy the world.

74场全勤场均26.3分12.2个篮板7.4次助攻2.3次封盖和1.2次抢断，带队常规赛第一。

Although there is no stats leader, even though he is not the scoring leader in the team, but Wayne
Proper MVP-level data!

Wayne: I don't even bother with small prizes, I only want big ones.

In the latest MVP rankings, Wayne also holds the first place, beating James, Kawhi, Curry and Paul.

Durant?
Can't make it into the top five!

If Wayne really won the MVP, he would probably say this when accepting the award: "This league depends on me. After so many years, you still can't do it."

If you can win the MVP in the first year of your comeback, this is really a capital to brag about Liu Beep.

Moreover, it is also an important honor to be close to Jordan!

After all, Mike Joe also won the MVP in his first full season back.

Of course, the MVP has not yet been determined, and it does not necessarily belong to Wayne.

Stern, Mou Ke: Really?Oh, yes, the process that should go is still going to go.

Wayne doesn't want to think too much about the MVP right now, and even the playoffs have to be put aside first.

The Trail Blazers' game is over, but the regular season of the NBA is not over yet.

Tomorrow is the last day of the league's regular season, and the Blazers just ended the battle one day earlier.

Before the start of the playoffs, Wayne had to go to Staples.

This is Kobe's last chance to surpass Wayne and become the oldest player with 60 points.
