The glory of the center

Chapter 88 The regular season is coming to an end

After defeating the Magic at home, Zhao Yue returned home and was very excited. After all, before that, Howard had been the current center of the league. He couldn't raise his head in this game. Of course, it was exciting. That night, Zhao Yue and Dakota Fanning fought 300 rounds. Early the next morning, Zhao Yue They flew away from Phoenix with the team. Next, the Suns need to play five away games in a row, and their first stop is San Doninho.

Although the Spurs have been suppressed by the Lakers in the West in the past two years and have been thrown out of the top eight in the West this season, the Spurs with a troika is still a team that people dare not despise, at least the Suns do not have the capital to despise.

When they came to Santo Anio, the Suns' attack was suppressed by the Spurs' strong defense. They only got 87 points in the whole game. The outside line of the Suns failed to open the whole game, and the three-point shooting rate in 17 shots was only one of the epitome.

The Sun's outside line can't be opened, so it can only rely on the inside line to attack, but it has to be said that Popovich is a very good coach, and Duncan is a very good inside player, especially the Sun's outside line failure allows the Spurs to deploy heavy troops on the inside line to push Zhao Yue away from the three-second zone.

92: 97, 5 points difference, the Suns lost to the Spurs away. Zhao Yue scored the highest in the Suns, but only 21 points, and he is also the only player in the team with 20 points.

Zhao Yue also felt the strength of Duncan, who was rated as the greatest power forward in history. Although Duncan's 18 points and 10 rebounds is not better than him, he is ashamed of his influence and help Zhao Yue for the whole team. Duncan is the axis of the Spurs, whether it is the attack of the Spurs. Or the defense is all around him.

After playing the Spurs, the Suns continued to play away in the West. This time they played against the Memphis Grizzlies.

The strength of the Grizzlies is much worse than that of the Spurs, but the Grizzlies have an inside dual-core Mark Gasol and Zach Randolf, but the inside dual-core can't stop the Sun's attack. In this game, the Sun's outside line recovered. In 15 of 18 three-pointers, the Grizzlies couldn't stand the sun' bombardment bombing at all. He lost 19 points at home.

The next opponent of the Suns is the Mavericks, and the top three Mavericks in the West are more difficult to deal with than the Spurs and the Grizzlies, but the Suns have never been afraid to play against the strong team. On the contrary, in this season, the Suns can play better when they encounter the strong team, which is the same in this game.

4 people scored 20 points in this game, Zhao Yue got 23 points, Nash got 20 points, Anthony scored 33 points, Carter also got 20 points, these four people got 96 points, and the starting Fry also got 13 points, and Grant Hill, who returned in this game also got With 18 points, the Suns scored 145 points in this game, defeating the Mavericks.

94:84 won 76ers, 97:109 lost to the Celtics, and the Suns lost two of three games in five away trips, and their record is still at the top of the league.

After the game with the Celtics, the Suns finally returned to the home court. The first opponent they needed to face was the 76ers who won the previous game. They played against each other for the second time in four days. The 76ers naturally hoped to succeed in revenge, but the disadvantage of the attack still made the 76ers failed to do so.

88:92, at home, the Suns defeated 76ers again by 4 points, and Anthony, who scored 39 points last time, scored 37 points in this match. Elton Brand can't resist Zhao Yue's impact at all. His mobility is very different from Zhao Yue's. Zhao Yue also scored 25 points in this game.

Winning the Rockets, Zhao Yue scored 20 again and had 14 rebounds, and performed well on the offensive end. On the defensive end, he limited the Rockets' inside scorer Luis Scola to only 4 points.

Zhao Yue's continuous good performance ended in the game of losing to the Nuggets. In this game, Zhao Yue only got 15 points and only 10 rebounds. Zhao Yue was not the only one in the downturn. The Suns' performance in this game was very average. Only Nash and Anthony continued to be in good shape and lost to the Nuggets by 15 points away.

After losing to the Nuggets, the Suns flew to New York to challenge the Knicks. The game became a unilateral slaughter, and the Knicks unfortunately became the slaughtered side.

In the game, the Suns scored 30 points in all four quarters, establishing a 16-point advantage in the first half, and the Suns won 25 points at the end of the game. Eight people in the Suns scored double after the game, and although four of the Knicks scored doubles, it didn't help.

Winning the Jazz, all the games of the Suns in February and March have also ended. When there are only the last 9 games left in the regular season, the Suns still firmly occupy the first place in the league, and no team can shake it. As for the playoff tickets, the Suns have already firmly held it in their hands.

In recent years, the competition for playoff seats in the West has become white-hot after the All-Star weekend, and the ranking is changing almost every day in March and April. It is impossible to decide the winner until the last minute of the regular season, and the competition in the East is much smaller.

However, this year is obviously an exception. With the rise of the Knicks, Bucks and Bobcats, the battle for the first eight in the east is unprecedentedly fierce, and the situation of the first eight seats will be staged in the east until the last minute.

However, this is exactly what fans are happy to see. The strength of the playoff team is so different that sweeping at any time will make the beginning of the playoffs lack of viewing. Such a game will not ignite the fans' ** at all.

Now the regular season is coming to an end. In the west, the Suns are unique, followed by the defending champion Lakers. These two teams have been regarded by all media as the two teams in the Western Conference finals before the end of the regular season. As for other teams, such as the Spurs and Mavericks, even if they can Entering the playoffs, they are not the opponents of the two teams at all.

In the East, this season, the Bulls ranked first in the East and second in the league under the leadership of Derek Ross. Even the three giants of the Heat can't be compared. They can only follow them and stay in the second place in the East. However, according to all expert media, the comprehensive strength of the Heat absolutely exceeds that of the Bulls. There is no doubt about this. As for other teams in the East, it seems that only the Celtics are relatively strong and even do not lose to the Bulls and the Heat.
