After playing the game with the Grizzlies, the Lakers have only the last game left in March, and with the end of March, the NBA2007-2008 season is about to usher in the last month of its journey.

According to the schedule, the NBA regular season will end all 82 regular season games on April 17!

The time has come to March 31, and the NBA official also announced today that the first round of the playoffs will be fully played on April 21!

For a time, the whole air was filled with the smell of gun smoke coming, and the final suspense of this year's NBA was about to be decided in the last less than a month!

Most of the protagonists of the suspense are in the west, and the first is the Lakers who are at the top of the league!

After playing the Grizzlies, the Lakers have only nine games left in the regular season. In the 73 games that have been played, the Lakers have achieved an astonishing 62 wins and 11 losses, creating the best record in the same period in the past 10 years. good record.

This time last year, the Mavericks' record was just 61 wins and 12 losses, which means that the Lakers have a good chance this year to break the 67 wins and 15 losses created by the Mavericks last year. The fifth-best regular season record in NBA history.

There are even many editors who believe that as long as the Lakers work hard, according to the subsequent schedule and the strength the Lakers show, it is not impossible to hit 70 wins.

That is 70 wins. Since the NBA restructured the regular season into 82 games in 1968, only the Chicago Bulls in 1996 have won 72 wins and 10 losses. record.

It's no wonder that in 1996 the Bulls were called the strongest team in history, with 72 championships, and the playoffs were basically an invincible sweep, which no team has ever done in so many years.

Before that, the regular season champion belonged to the Los Angeles Lakers in 1972. Under the leadership of Chamberlain and West, the regular season was 69 wins and 13 losses, and the winning rate was 84.1%.

After that, in 1997, Jordan's Bulls hit 70 wins again, but failed, and also got a record of 69 wins and 13 losses.

In the next ten years, even the Lakers at their peak, only got a record of 68 wins and 14 losses, and the other one who got this record was the Boston Celtics in 1973.

Not to mention the two giants in the league, their records are quite close, and competition exists in all aspects.

The same is true this season. The Lakers have a bright record, and the same is true for the Celtics in the East. His record is 57 wins and 16 losses, only five games behind the Lakers. There are still nine games in the regular season. The chance to compete for the regular season championship, although it seems that the chance is very small, after all, even if he wins all, then the Lakers will lose six of nine games, and the chance is too small.

Therefore, many media in Los Angeles are calculating how many wins the Lakers can win, and fans are also discussing it. In China, there are many forums in the top post calculating the Lakers' victory and defeat in each of the next games and the total record. .

In fact, the Lakers have also communicated internally, but no one cares about the specific record, as long as they keep the regular season championship. After all, if it is the final final, home field advantage is still very important, especially when the opponent is likely to be the Green Army.

The reason why it is the Green Army is naturally because of the situation in the East this season. To describe it in four words, it is a clear class!

The Green Army is the only one, and has already determined the Eastern Conference playoff places and the Eastern Conference top spot. The Piston Magic behind them are 7 and 9 wins away, and there is no suspense for a long time.

The Pistons Magic belong to the second class, and they also ensured the second and third, that is, it depends on who is second.

As for the 4-8 behind them, they are basically at peace. The eighth-place Eagle leads the ninth-place Bucks by more than 5 wins. It can be said that half of the body has entered the playoffs. As for the specific The seating order is basically the same, everyone is good brothers, and no one cares about who.

So the atmosphere in the East is already the atmosphere of preparing for the playoffs.

Look at the west again, it is simply a Shura field!

Except for the Lakers, the rankings of other teams have not been determined, and from the first to the tenth, the winning rate has exceeded 50%, which surprised everyone. 's name.

A few years ago, you could imagine that a team with a winning percentage of 60% could not even make the playoffs, but it really happened.

The rankings of the second, third, fourth and fifth also changed at any time. The Rockets lost three consecutive games and fell directly to the fourth place. Third, and continue to threaten the second wasps…

This whole northwestern Shanxi has become a mess. Only the Lakers sit firmly on the Diaoyutai, so that when Ji Feng reads newspapers and news every day, he can't help but smack his tongue secretly. This is too scary. This year's playoffs are not good. hit.

So, in fact, the last suspense of the regular season is in the West. Who can stand out in such a mess, who can catch up with the last train of the playoffs, everyone is watching.

The same is true for the Lakers, including Ji Feng, who pay attention to the standings every day. After all, their opponents in the first round of the playoffs have not yet been determined. The Nuggets, Warriors, Mavericks, and even the Blazers are all possible. If the coaching staff is broken, who are you guys studying?

Adhering to the principle of preparing more, the Lakers coaching staff waved their hands and studied them all. Therefore, the Lakers' recent training has been in hell mode, especially the second team. Every day, they need to play different team styles as required to be sparring.

In such a tense atmosphere, the Lakers ushered in the last opponent of this month!

On March 31, the Lakers played at home against the Bobcats, a team in the East that had long since left the playoffs!

The popularity of this game is not high. You can see that there are no reporters on this side. After all, this game does not affect the ranking of the playoffs, and the gap in strength is too great. Who does not know that the Bobcats are a famous experience baby, even if Jordan is So does the boss.

So most of the reporters went to the Golden State, Denver and other places to interview, and here are three or two kittens.

The results of the final game also confirmed everyone's speculation. Although the Bobcats leader Jason Richardson made 13 of 28 shots and 4 of 12 three-pointers, he scored a game-high 34 points, 10 rebounds and 3 blocks, but he still saved the game. Not the fate of the lynx being abused.

This Pizzas Lakers are still playing very healthy. The main players have not played more than 35 minutes per game, but efficiency is synonymous with the Lakers today.

Ji Feng devoted himself to the role of the organization. He only scored 15 points in 30 minutes, but had 18 assists and 15 rebounds, setting a new personal rebound.

Kobe Bryant played 35 minutes, made 11 of 22 shots and scored 27 points, 6 rebounds and 3 steals, jumping to fifth on the season steals list.

Bynum continued to maintain a good state, ravaged the basket, contributed 6 dunks, scored 21 points and 10 rebounds, and the outbreak of the small shark was the biggest surprise for Lakers fans.

Gasol was still low-key and practical. He scored 18 points and 9 rebounds in just 28 minutes, and only 10 shots were made, 9 of 10. He was the most efficient in the game. Ji Feng's assists were not too comfortable.
