Chapter 97 The regular season ends

Judging from the situation on the court, the Grizzlies' inside line is generally suppressed.

As for the outside, the Grizzlies can gain some advantages, but the advantage is not very large and have not achieved the final result.

Glen Rice is a bit outrageously strong. Maybe he is not very famous, but his strength really can't tell anything wrong with it, especially the accurate three-pointer, which made Jackson suffer all the hardships tonight.

In the first two seasons, Glenn Rice had a feat of 47% of three-point shooting per game in a single season. This is also the first player in NBA history to average more than five three-pointers and maintain a shooting percentage of more than 47%.

What does it mean to have a 47% three-point shooting percentage per game in a single season? Even if all the players accumulated by Jiang Dongbing have reached their ultimate talent, no one can score such a three-point shooting percentage in a single season.

Tonight, Glen Rice taught Jackson a good lesson with a three-pointer, telling Jackson that as a small forward, as long as he scored three-pointers, he could still control the game.

At the end of the first half, the Lakers led by seven points, and Jiang Dongbing had already begun to wonder whether to use the Shark-cutting tactic.

If you really want to use the shark-cutting tactic, the score difference is not big at the moment. In fact, there is still a chance to win this game, but if you think about it carefully, there is no need for this.

The win or loss of this game actually does not affect the Grizzlies' ranking in the West at all. If they win, they are the first in the West, and if they lose or the first in the West.

In the end, Jiang Dongbing did not use the shark-cutting tactic, allowing O'Neal to continue to rage on the field.

In the second half, Lewis suddenly broke out and scored three three-pointers in a row, almost allowing the Grizzlies to overtake the score. However, O'Neal reversed the situation strongly and eventually led the team to win the game with a five-point difference.

Although the Grizzlies lost, it also allowed Jiang Dongbing to understand the situation of the Lakers.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as there is no Rodman in this Lakers team, the Grizzlies can completely abuse the Lakers like cutting melons and vegetables. Now Jiang Dongbing only needs to wait for the Lakers to terminate the contract with Rodman.

...

After playing against the Lakers, the Grizzlies will challenge the Utah Jazz away.

The Jazz's current record is the same as the Spurs. The two teams now occupy the second and third places in the West. Because the regular season schedule is about to end, the top four places in the playoffs have basically been determined.

"Jiang, the Grizzlies this season have stunned us old guys. You are so amazing." Before the game started, Old Sloan said with a smile to Jiang Dongbing during the warm-up session.

Jiang Dongbing shook his head modestly: "I've been over-rewarded, Mr. Sloan, you are also a great head coach in my heart."

This statement was not a flattery of Jiang Dongbing, but his thoughts. As a head coach, Sloan is indeed worthy of the word greatness.

Sloan sighed and shook his head, "What qualifications can a coach who has never won the championship be considered great."

"I originally thought this season would be our best opportunity, but as a result, a dazzling new team like you appeared."

Jiang Dongbing smiled bitterly. He couldn't answer this sentence at all. It was indeed miserable to talk about Sloan's fate.

When the Jazz was the strongest, they happened to meet the Bulls Dynasty. After the Bulls Dynasty disintegrated, the first champion was taken away by the Spurs, and then the Lakers Dynasty followed closely behind.

This led to Sloan not reaching the championship until he retired, which was quite tragic.

"We are still too young and have no playoff experience. Mr. Sloan doesn't need to care too much about us." Jiang Dongbing said with a smile.

That being said, after the game was over, Sloan had to care about the Grizzlies, and they were beaten by the Grizzlies at their home court.

The Jazz's current lineup is actually not good. The Jazz in the late 1980s should be their peak period.

At his peak, Malone, Stockton, Mark Eaton, and a large number of outstanding role players, the Jazz at that time were definitely a favorite to win the championship now.

But now the Jazz is at the end of their journey. Malone and Stockton are both old and the mammoth have retired. Although there is one more Hornersek now, he is also a person who is about to retire.

When facing the fierce grizzly bear, Jiang Dongbing could clearly feel the powerlessness of these jazz veterans.

Malone is still very fierce. She taught Xiao O a lesson tonight, but Horacek and Stockton on the outside were completely locked by the Grizzlies' outside iron gate. The combined score of the two tonight was less than 20.

Although Malone scored 27 points, it is impossible to save the Jazz by relying solely on this score.

After the game, Sloan's face became even more sad. At the beginning of the game, he thought that the Lakers and the Spurs would be their biggest opponents to win the championship, but now it seems that they are not. The Grizzlies are their opponents. Judging from the situation tonight, he has no way to deal with the Grizzlies.

The Jazz's pick-and-roll tactics are famous all over the world, but any tactic is not unbreakable. The best solution to pick-and-roll tactics is to switch defenses. Now the Grizzlies' young players are strong in their soldiers and horses, with extremely strong athletic abilities and good defense switching effects. The Jazz's pick-and-roll tactics are very unsatisfactory.

Although this game is only the regular season, Sloan can predict that if the Grizzlies meet in the playoffs, their pick-and-roll tactics will still not be able to achieve any decent results. This is why he is worried.

It would be fine if you can't beat a game, but you won't see any hope of winning in the future. This is the most desperate thing.

Even because of the aging of the Jazz lineup, the gap between them and the Grizzlies may become bigger and bigger next year and the next year.

...

After playing one game after another, the Grizzlies continued to maintain a super high winning rate. Their final battle this season was against the Spurs, and this game can even be said to determine the ownership of the season's championship.

After the first forty-nine games, the Grizzlies won forty of them. Even if they lost to the Spurs in the final game, the Grizzlies could still maintain an 80% winning rate this season.

If you want to say that the best player in the Grizzlies this season is undoubtedly Jackson. From the start of the game to the present, Jackson spared no effort to contribute his strength every night of the game and led the Grizzlies to win one victory after another.

In terms of personal data, Jackson currently averages 21.4 points per game and ranks eighth in the league, and is the player with the highest average score in the midfield of all small forwards.

Of course, Grant Hill's score is 21.1 points per game, which is not much smaller than Jackson.
