Chapter 105 The regular season is over, and the playoffs are announced (please subscribe, please sup

The Lakers continue their winning streak and do not intend to "control the field" to get a chance to touch the Sonics.The Rockets also had the same sportsmanship. They beat the Kings abruptly and continued to overwhelm the Lakers, ranking fifth.

Between the first home team, the Rockets, and the second home team, the Lakers, the mainstream opinion of Huaxia fans is that they hope that the Lakers will rise to fifth and fight the Mavericks recklessly. Advance to the second round.

Although he is also one of Huaxia's representatives in the NBA, Ke Yan's popularity is still incomparable to that of Yao Ming. Huaxia fans hope that Ke Yan will take the "harder road" instead of Yao Ming.

During the period when Ke Yan led the team to compete with the Rockets, Nestlé officially launched an advertisement with the theme "No matter how busy you are, I want to have a cup of coffee with you", which aroused Ke Yan's popularity.

Ke Yan in the advertisement is very handsome, and his voice is very soft. In addition, the heroine of the advertisement, Chen Yanxi, perfectly corresponds to the image of the "campus goddess". Once the advertisement is broadcast, the visual effect like an idol drama is immediately popular among young people. He received a good response, and even his line "No matter how busy I am, I will have a cup of coffee with you" became popular.It has become a popular local love story among young couples.

The boys combined Ke Yan and Yang Ming to become the ceiling of the basketball world, known as "South Keyan, North Yang Ming". When they caught up with Ke Yan, he was from Suzhou City. His native place perfectly matched Murong Fu, and he was directly named "Gusu Keyan".The female group is very interested in Ke Yan's green eyes, calling him "elf coach".

For Nestle, there is no doubt that this is a successful marketing.Thanks to this wave of publicity, Ke Yan's popularity has also been confirmed, and more advertising invitations will definitely flock to him in the future.

His commercials became popular in China, but Ke Yan didn't pay attention.Right now his mind is on the Lakers.

4月7号,湖人队继续坐镇主场迎来华盛顿奇才队,凭借科比的35分7个篮板,以115比112险胜了奇才队,斩获赛季最长的七连胜。(51-27)

The Wizards in the away game started with a double-digit lead. In the following game, two powerful scorers, Arenas and Jamison, played consecutive singles, helping the Wizards lead for a full three quarters.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Keyan once again resorted to the tried-and-tested blitzkrieg strategy. The small lineup of House, Finley, Kobe, Barnes, and Odom attacked together and beat the Wizards 12:4 in one go. The lead was reduced to 5 points.

In the subsequent games, the scores of the two teams rose alternately.

At the critical moment, Kobe made consecutive shots with penalties and scored 6 points, but the Wizards' "Agent Zero" failed to stand up.The Lakers successfully made a comeback in the final quarter and staged a "victorious escape".

In the game on the same day, the Rockets ushered in the Lakers' city rivals, the Clippers, at home, easily defeated the Clippers 106:87, continued to suppress the Lakers, and occupied the fifth place in the Western Conference.

Ke Yan was ready to go up to fifth and compete with the Mavericks. Unexpectedly, the Rockets would not give an inch now.I don't know if it's better to praise Van Gundy for his sportsmanship, or to call him crazy.

Anyway, the Rockets fans in China are constantly scolding Van Gundy for missing the opportunity.

The point is that he not only fought the Lakers to the end in the rankings, but he also fucked Yao Ming to death.In winning the game against the Clippers, the Rockets had a big advantage throughout the game, and Yao Ming still played 36 minutes.

Maybe it was also Ke Yan's sudden rise this season that stimulated him?After all, he squeezed out Ke Yan last season, why didn't he allow the former assistant coach to ride on his head?

The Rockets have a "fight to the end" attitude, and Ke Yan doesn't want to continue to follow.Objectively speaking, until now, the Lakers have enough sportsmanship, and the Rockets rushed to touch the Mavericks, so Ke Yan "reluctantly" took the early rotation, resigned to fate!

赛季第79场比赛,湖人队客场以108:111不敌灰熊队,七连胜随之终止。(51-28)

In this game, Keyan arranged for Butler to rest.Butler can be regarded as Keyan's own person, and the rotation starts from him, and the players have the lowest resistance.

In order to compete for the final place in the playoffs, the Grizzlies players were desperate. Even Gasol threw himself on the floor to grab the floor ball from Kobe. It can be seen that the Grizzlies also fought hard for the first playoff trip in team history. dead.If the Lakers fight this Grizzlies recklessly, which player will be injured will outweigh the gains.

In the last half minute of the game, Battier became the real Batman of the Grizzlies. He first made a key three-pointer on the offensive end, and then he defended Kobe alone, and the blindfolded defense interfered with Kobe's shot.The Lakers were forced to implement foul tactics, and Mike Miller made two free throws.

The Lakers still had the chance to drag the game into overtime, but it was a pity that Kobe's three-pointer at the buzzer missed the frame, and the team hated Memphis.

Relying on the loss of this game, the Lakers successfully secured the sixth position in the Western Conference, basically "fulfilling their wish" and meeting the Sonics in the first round of the playoffs.

The last three games of the season are irrelevant to the Lakers' playoff rankings. Ke Yan also arranged for Odom, Finley, and Anderson to take turns.The Lakers ended the regular season with 1 win and 2 losses, with a total record of 52 wins and 30 losses, ranking sixth in the Western Conference.

For the fans and the media, the Lakers achieved this result basically in line with expectations before the season.From the perspective of book strength, it is reasonable for the Lakers to be in the sixth position in the West.

Of course, this is not to deny Ke Yan's contribution. The praises of "accepting orders in the face of danger, stabilizing the morale of the army, attacking gorgeously, and building a team well" are still concentrated on Ke Yan's head.

It's just that Ke Yan's self-conceived idea of ​​"turning the tide and helping the building to collapse" has not yet reached this level.

This season's regular season championship belongs to the Suns. D'Antoni and Nash created their own miracle together, successfully bringing a weak team last season to the height of the regular season championship. At the same time, the Suns scored 62 wins and 20 losses The team history is also among the top three, and this season is undoubtedly a success for the Suns.It's just that, being the champions of the regular season, their goal now must be to become the real champions.And their first opponent is the Grizzlies, which made the playoffs for the first time in team history. They are not weak, but there is a gap compared to the Suns.

The old-fashioned Spurs tied for second in the league with a record of 59 wins and 23 losses. Compared with the "strong offensive and weak defensive" Suns, the Spurs are the most championship-looking team.However, their first-round opponents, the Nuggets, are not easy to deal with. Whether Anthony, a fairly comprehensive outside scorer, can hit the pain points of the Spurs is the key to the game.

"No. [-] in the Western Conference" belongs to the Sonics, which has the same record as the Lakers. Potentially big contracts are a real slog.However, their style of play was somewhat restrained by the Lakers, and was regarded by the media and fans as "the team in the upper half most likely to overturn."

In the last matchup in the Western Conference, the Mavericks, the old rivals of Texas, and the Rockets, the quality of the Rockets' role players is a bit worse than that of the Mavericks.

At the end of the season, although the awards in the selection category have been firmly established, they have not yet been announced, and the awards in the data category will be released first.

Kobe beat Iverson to win the scoring title with an average of 30.7 points per game. This is the first scoring title in his career; Averaged 13.5 rebounds and won the rebounding leader; Nash won the assists leader with an average of 11.5 assists per game.

The playoff schedule has been confirmed and will officially start on April 4.Ke Yan also immediately made his next schedule.

On the 21st and 22nd, Ke Yan announced a holiday. On the 23rd, he arranged training. The training volume was very low and he focused on recovering his physical strength. On the morning of the 24th, he flew to Seattle to prepare for the game against the Sonics.

That is, after announcing the team's schedule, Keyan came to Kupchak's office and found Kupchak.

"Mitch, I plan to leave the team after the season is over." After saying this, Ke Yan felt a lot more relaxed, and felt that a stone that had been in his heart for a long time fell down.

"..." Hearing this news, Kupchak's reaction was very calm, and he just nodded slightly, "I will pass on your decision to Mr. Bass."

The ending of the Lakers and Keyan has come to this point, and both sides have long been psychologically prepared.Ke Yan emphasized at the press conference that he was the "acting head coach" was the last test, and after still not getting a response, he completely gave up.That's why in the conversation with Wang Lifan later, he stated that he might leave Los Angeles, and the two of them will enter the stage of long-distance relationship.

Got up and walked to Keyan, Kupchak extended his hand to him: "Kimi, I am very grateful for everything you have done for the Lakers. Without your efforts, I am not sure if the Lakers can get to where they are now. I hope You understand, I support you, it's just..."

"I understand. Mr. Buss can not let the news of his contact with the new head coach leak out, which is a great respect for me. You don't have to worry about any changes in my mentality that will affect the team's playoffs , I need a good result to get more attention for me, and I also hope to leave good memories for the Lakers fans, I was really happy with the Lakers in the past year." Ke Yan held Kupp Chuck's hand, said sincerely.

"I believe in your work ethic, and I believe that you will not embarrass the Lakers." Kupchak paused, then continued, "I hope you are doing well."

"Thank you~"

After saying all this, Keyan left Kupchak's office with mixed feelings.

The reason why I chose to make everything clear before the start of the playoffs was because I didn’t leave myself a way out, and I cut off the idea of ​​“leading the team to achieve good results and hope to stay in the team” remaining in my subconscious mind.After finishing this trip to the playoffs, I am destined to go to a new team and start my first chapter as a head coach, as an official "head coach".

Where will it be?Ke Yan already had a tendency in his heart!
