My template is really center

Chapter 330 The end of the regular season!

Then, more and more NBA teams, especially the teams that basically have no way to do more this season, began to turn their attention to Coach Romar!

And back to this finals, Kevin Love, who finally won the double 30 data performance, was undoubtedly elected as the MVP of the 2008 NCAA Finals!

At the same time, Kevin Love also has a share of various NCAA top awards.

Of course, all of this has nothing to do with Xu Lang.

After watching the NCAA finals and participating in the Huskies team's championship banquet a little bit.

Xu Lang flew back to Atlanta that night, ready to continue the last few games of the Eagles this season!

After the pressure on the record is gone, the Eagles will play a lot more casually in the follow-up games!
In the next few games of the Eagles, Mike Woodson began to continuously debug the new lineup.

Of course, although the new lineup is being debugged, the Eagles are still able to win most of the games because the team's strength itself is high enough.

But, sometimes the waves are too rough, and the big boat will occasionally roll over!

The Eagles went 4-1 in their remaining six games.

The only game the Hawks lost was a game in which the Hawks were completely off the bench.

Originally, in this game, when Mike Woodson saw that the Eagles' opponent was the Bucks, the last team in the Eastern Conference this season, he wanted to let the Hawks, a group of substitute players, look for the state of the game a little bit.

However, what Mike Woodson didn't expect was that in this game, Al Horford, who had been languishing since 08, suddenly scored 29 points and 12 rebounds explosively.

The data of 29 points in a single game, even if it is not Horford's highest score in a single game this season, can at least rank in the top five.

If it's just Horford's sudden outbreak, the Hawks' bench lineup may still be able to top it.

After all, the Eagles also had Paul Millsap scoring 16 points and 11 rebounds in this game, and Josh Childress scoring 17 points, five rebounds, and three assists. .

However, the Bucks couldn't stand this game, not only did Horford explode!

In the whole game, besides Horford, five Bucks scored in double figures.

Among them, Reed, the former boss of the Bucks, scored 27 points in a single game!

Fortunately, for Mike Woodson, winning or losing the remaining few games is not that important in itself.

After all, Mike Woodson originally hoped to be able to constantly adjust the lineup and observe the performance of each player through the remaining few games to determine the 12-man roster that the Eagles need to bring when they finally enter the playoffs .

After this game, Mike Woodson and the Eagles' coaching staff finally determined the list of players they wanted.

First of all, there is no doubt that the starting five will be added, and then two veteran insiders, Uncle Mu and Theo Ratliff, will be added.

Finally, add Paul Millsap, who is getting better and better this season, Josh Childress, the key scorer on the bench, and Jose Calder, the commander on the bench Long!

Before you know it, the Eagles' 12-man roster is almost full, and the final two playoff spots will be played.

After Mike Woodson struggled infinitely, he was given two young players, Kendrick Perkins and Aaron Brooks.

In fact, Aaron Brooks was no longer on the coaching staff's list for the playoffs.

After all, Aaron Brooks has just entered his first year in the NBA, and when he was transferred to the Development League, Aaron Brooks' statistical performance was not particularly impressive.

Even in terms of performance in the last ten games, Aaron Brooks is not going to be outstanding.

However, in the end Mike Woodson was still infected by Aaron Brooks' enthusiasm on the field and the degree of execution of the tactics arranged by the coaching staff.

It helped him get a chance to enter the playoffs list.

Of course, part of the reason is that Aaron Brooks has all kinds of rookie flaws and flaws.

But in the past ten games played, Aaron Brooks has shown a stable three-point shooting ability.

The defense is active enough, the three-point stability is not bad, and he is obedient enough. He is still a rookie who has just signed a four-year contract.

Aaron Brooks naturally became the player the coaching staff wanted to train!
And after the Eagles have determined their 12-man roster for entering the playoffs this season by constantly adjusting the lineup and game status.

Several other playoff-level teams have also begun to prepare for this year's playoffs.

The first is the Celtics. After the core lineup is rested, the exhaustion of the Celtics players has been relieved to a certain extent.

And the four core players also got a certain amount of rest time and made some physical reserves.

Of course, compared with the Eagles, which has the thickest lineup in the league, and the Rockets, which began to rotate lineups in the middle and late stages of the season, the Celtics' player physical reserves are still relatively weak.

But this is already very satisfactory to the coaching staff of the Celtics.

After all, before the arrival of Chris Webber, the Celtics had always had a seven-man rotation.

And what makes the Celtics most satisfied is that during the period of lineup rotation, the Celtics' record winning percentage is still very good.

As a result, until the end of the regular season, the Celtics maintained a gap of one or two games ahead of the Pistons, thus retaining their second place in the Eastern Conference regular season.

At the same time, the second record ranking in the Eastern Conference also gave the Celtics a home court advantage before entering the Eastern Conference Finals.

In addition to the Celtics and Eagles, after the All-Star Game, another team with a record against the sky is not the third-ranked Pistons in the Eastern Conference, but the Magic.

After the All-Star Game, Howard didn't know if he was stimulated by some players, and he also played a lot of exciting games.

For example, the data performance of 20+20, such as the terrifying data of 31 rebounds in a single game.

Similarly, under the leadership of Howard's terrifying data performance, the Magic team's record has soared.

Before the end of the regular season, the record was tied with the Pistons.

In the end, if the two teams hadn't become opponents in the last game of the regular season, and the Pistons relied on tenacious defense in this game, they struggled to win the game with a two-point lead!
The Magic are likely to overthrow the Pistons all the way and become the third team in the Eastern Conference this season!
But now in the final game of the regular season, the Pistons, who fought a difficult defensive battle, finally defended their third place in the East, and the Magic also rushed all the way from the edge of the playoffs before the All-Star Game to the fourth place in the Eastern Conference.

And if the Magic is a typical representative of a team on the fringes of the playoffs, then the Cavaliers are a typical representative of some of the once strong teams in the playoffs this season. .

Originally, before the start of the All-Star Game, the Cavaliers sat firmly in the seventh position in the Eastern Conference, and there was also a record gap of three wins between the Eastern Conference's eighth Wizards.

But after the All-Star Game ended, LeBron James suddenly found that everything had changed.

The Magic, which might have been overtaken by it at any time, quickly ran to the top four in the Eastern Conference.

The Wizards, who had been under pressure by the Cavaliers, also began to fight back.

After entering April, the Cavaliers lost to the Wizards in their first game.

The Cavaliers' record ranking dropped directly to the eighth place in the Eastern Conference, and what made the Cavaliers even more horrified was that.

When it fell to eighth in the Eastern Conference, it suddenly discovered that the Pacers, ranked ninth in the Eastern Conference, were only one game away from them in terms of win gap.

This made the Cavaliers have been in a state of urgency that they may be overtaken by the Pacers at any time throughout the game in April.

Until their last regular-season game of the season, the Pacers were still only one game behind the Cavaliers.

The Cavaliers' opponent in the last game of the season is the Eagles.

The opponent of the Pacers in the last game of the season is the Timberwolves, the second-to-last in the West.

You must know that in the four games between the Pacers and the Cavaliers this season, the Pacers led 3:1.

Therefore, if the records of the two teams are the same, the Cavaliers may not be able to make the playoffs this year because of the outcome.

So LeBron James takes the game against the Eagles very seriously!
Even O'Neal, who doesn't care too much about the team's record this season, doesn't want to lose this game and lose his place in the playoffs.

So at the beginning of the game, LeBron James and O'Neal played extremely proactively.

I have to admit that after a season of running-in and adjustment, O'Neal, who is full of physical fitness, is paired with LeBron James. The defensive pressure brought by the Eagles inside is still quite large.

In the first quarter of the game, O'Neal scored 10 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assist, and [-] block in less than [-] minutes.

LeBron James also took advantage of O'Neal's ability to attack the inside and made 3 of 3 shots from close range. At the end of the first quarter, he scored 6 points, [-] rebounds, and [-] assists.

Sometimes I have to admit that LeBron James is indeed a player who has taken the template of the Son of Destiny!

After a season of extensive adjustments to his playing style, LeBron James' overall rating not only did not decline, but actually improved further.

Before the game started, Xu Lang saw in the system that LeBron James' overall system strength rating had reached 94.

And like Xu Lang, LeBron James' four-dimensional attributes are also in a state of balanced development.

The value of the physical fitness attribute is 97, the value of the offensive attribute is 94, the value of the defensive attribute is 93, and the value of the rebounding attribute is 87.

According to the development status of the four-dimensional attribute of LeBron James.

Xu Lang felt that as long as LeBron James had any one attribute category and could make some small improvements, he could directly step into the ranks of super giant players.

This made Xu Lang suddenly feel a sense of urgency again.

After all, Xu Lang relied on cheating, although he became a super giant player one step earlier than LeBron James.

But at this stage, Xu Lang is just cheating, and his improvement in strength will also be greatly slowed down. On the contrary, players like LeBron James who have taken the script and template of the favored son of heaven.

But it is very likely that after entering the super giant level, they will start to improve their strength rapidly in just one or two seasons.

If Xu Lang can't complete the system upgrade task by then, he may not be able to continue to suppress LeBron James.

The only thing Xu Lang is lucky about now is that, judging from the state of classic games, LeBron James will most likely stay with the Cavaliers in the future.

This will naturally limit the pace of LeBron James' pursuit of the championship.

In addition, although Xu Lang may not be able to continue to suppress LeBron James in the overall evaluation of personal strength!

But Xu Lang looked at the group of young teammates with All-Star potential around him, and felt that the Eagles could still suppress the Cavaliers for a few years.

Back to this game, the first quarter of the game relied on the performances of LeBron James and O'Neal.

When the Cavaliers faced the Eagles, the No. [-] team in the Eastern Conference and the No. [-] team in the league, the score did not fall too far.

At the end of the first quarter, the Eagles only took a one-point lead after scoring 33 points in a single quarter!

In the second quarter, when LeBron James, who played the entire first quarter, continued to stay on the court, the Cavaliers once led the lead to overtake the score and achieved a lead of nearly five points.

Even, when the starting lineups of the two teams returned to the game, O'Neal, who had been resting for a while, continued to rely on his abundant physical fitness to form a duo with LeBron James!
It allowed the Cavaliers to expand their lead to a level close to double digits.

Fortunately, the Eagles are not vegetarian either. In the game between O'Neal and LeBron James, they showed far more than their data performance this season.

Under the leadership of Xu Lang, Marc Gasol, and Darko Milicic, the Eagles slowly re-stabilized the rhythm of the game.

Then at the end of the halftime game, although the Eagles were still behind, they had narrowed the gap between the two teams to only four points!
So far, the performance of the Cavaliers is extremely perfect.

The cooperation between LeBron James and O'Neal is also excellent.

But after the start of the second half of the game, the situation of the game immediately turned 180 degrees.

First of all, as soon as the third quarter came up, the Eagles suddenly exerted strength on the defensive end, blocking the Cavaliers' 3 offenses in a row, and directly hit a 7:0 spurt.

Fortunately, at this time, LeBron James stepped forward quickly, and once again used the pick-and-roll with O'Neal to rush inside and caused Marc Gasol's defensive foul, won two free throw opportunities, and made a steady free throw Hit, slightly helped the Cavaliers stabilize the morale of the army.

It's just that the Eagles, who have gradually begun to find the feel and rhythm of the game, are still much stronger than the Cavaliers in terms of hard power.

Therefore, in the following game time, under the leadership of LeBron James and O'Neal, the Cavaliers have been unable to achieve the second overtake in the score even though they are clinging to the score gap between the two teams!

By the end of the third quarter, O'Neal, who had played 25 minutes in this game, began to have physical problems.

The decline in physical fitness also made O'Neal less and less willing to move on the defensive and offensive ends, and the impact on the basket after the pick-and-roll also began to decline.

This caused the Cavaliers to break one of the most powerful offensive arrows in the game, and then LeBron James was lost in the Eagles' defensive muscles!
Because of O'Neal before, the Eagles have been unable to concentrate all their defensive energy to focus on strangling LeBron James' offense.

But now that O'Neal has limped, LeBron James can only face the defensive strength of this season alone, at least in the top three defensive oppression of the Eagles in the league!
Then, under the defensive pressure of the Eagles, LeBron James maintained a mid-range and long-range shooting percentage of more than 45% in the first half of the game, and it plummeted to below 40%.
