One Guard

Yiyang, Hayward and Stevens, the greatest trio in Bulldogs history, created a very dramatic game day in the NBA.

Hayward lost to Yiyang and Stevens defeated the Golden State Warriors. These two conditions happened at the same time, allowing the Dallas Mavericks to successfully top the regular season rankings with a record of 72 wins and 9 losses!

After a whole season of struggle, the Golden State Warriors, who had already achieved an incredible record, suddenly lost. With 70 wins but still second in the league, the Warriors have undoubtedly become a joke in the hearts of fans these days.

But everyone knows that if these two teams with 70 wins in the regular season fail to win the championship, that would be the biggest joke. However, under such circumstances, one team is destined to become the laughing stock of everyone!

"Our performance in the regular season has been good enough. Now, we have put all our focus on the upcoming playoffs." Steve Kerr said at the press conference after the game between the Warriors and Celtics. Er looked like he didn't care about losing the game.

However, everyone knew that he just "seemed" not to care that much. If Cole really didn't care, he wouldn't have had to fight the Celtics with the entire lineup today. After all, whether they lose this game or not will not have much impact on the Warriors' record.

No. 1 in the Western Conference, then play the Jazz or Rockets. Second in the Western Conference, they have to compete with the Grizzlies. With Conley and Gasol both sidelined due to injuries, falling to second place in the Western Conference to beat the Grizzlies might be an easier way to advance. So whether first or second, it will not hinder the Warriors' playoff progress.

So Cole saying he doesn't care is complete bullshit. This guy is looking for a way out for himself.

"What do you think about the fact that the Warriors have achieved a record 71 wins in team history, but they are still only ranked second?" The reporters persisted, trying to stimulate Kerr in different ways.

"Ranking second is not important. What is important is that we have won 70+ games. What is important is that we will kill everyone in the playoffs." Cole spread his hands, he didn't even know that his smile was How false.

How does it feel to be ranked second? Of course I am angry and unwilling!

On the other side, Carlisle faced the reporter's camera with a smile on his face. Can you stop laughing? After competing with the Warriors for a whole season, they finally retained their first place in the regular season. Carlisle couldn't wait for this moment.

"Congratulations to Coach Carlisle. You and your team surpassed the magical Warriors at the end of the regular season and once again became the first in the league. This season, the Mavericks and Warriors almost shared the entire league. I think in the playoffs , there should be no one who is your opponent. When the Western Conference finals come, do you think your team can still beat the Warriors?"

"Everyone knows that our goal is to win three consecutive championships! What else can I say? If I say that we will lose, is it too false?" Carlisle said his goal without hesitation, three consecutive championships . If anyone can stop the Mavericks, go ahead! Including the Golden State Warriors!

After this game, the pattern of the Western Conference was basically fixed except for eighth place.

April 13th, the final game of the NBA regular season. The Warriors and Grizzlies started previewing their series in advance. As a result, the Grizzlies, who were short of major generals, had no way to defeat the Warriors. The Warriors won easily, but it was no use.

Because on the Mavericks side, the game also went very smoothly. Both Carlisle and Popovich had a "tacit understanding" and sent out a full bench lineup to give the main players a chance to rest. In the last three minutes of the game, Carlisle allowed Yiyang and Deron to fight for a while, and then easily won the "practice match" and continued to pressure the Warriors.

At this point, all 82 games of the 15-16 NBA regular season have finally come to an end. This year, for the first time in NBA history, two teams have achieved 70 wins in a single season. The Dallas Mavericks have become the only team in NBA history to achieve 70+ wins in two consecutive seasons.

This achievement has made the Dallas Mavericks' reputation slightly surpass that of the legendary Bulls.

"If the Mavericks can complete the miracle of three consecutive championships this year, then I can guarantee that their historical status will be the same as that of the Chicago Bulls in the 1990s!"

Of course, neither the Mavericks nor the Warriors could match Kobe Bryant's edge in the last game of his career today. Poor Hayward and the Utah Jazz, Kobe's momentum in the last game completely overwhelmed them. Facing the retirement performance of the world's greatest star, the Jazz seemed destined to become a foil.

Kobe Bryant scored 60 points in the last game of his career, bringing his career to a perfect end. But who knew that Kobe's 60 points would also make the Jazz's season's efforts in vain.

In the last two games of the regular season, the Jazz lost two consecutive games to two legends, Yiyang and Kobe. The Houston Rockets successfully counterattacked and grabbed the last ticket to the playoffs.

What else could Hayward say? He could only admit that he was unlucky. In the last game, Yiyang destroyed the Jazz with 43 points and 8 assists. Today, in front of fans all over the world, Kobe won the house with another even more exaggerated performance of 60 points. As for the Jazz, how many people care whether they can make the playoffs? What people want to see is Yiyang and Kobe.

In this league, some teams may play supporting roles. A sudden thought came to Hayward's mind that he no longer wanted to be a supporting role. He also wants to get his own honor under the spotlight like Yiyang and Kobe.

Want to leave? Should he join Stevens' Green Army or Yiyang's Blue Army? But Hayward didn't think about it. He suddenly felt a chill running down his spine. Salt Lake City is the place where he was trained. He didn't plan to just run away with his tail between his legs...

"This is destined to be a legendary season, Charles. The end of a generation of legends is also the rise of a generation of legends!"

Although no names were mentioned, everyone knew who the two people O'Neal was referring to were. Besides Yiyang, who else can be compared with Kobe?

After his game was over, Yiyang also sent a text message to Kobe. Gradually, those powerful opponents are slowly disappearing. Gradually, this alliance is increasingly controlled by young people like Yiyang.

Kobe Bryant's retirement performance brought a great shock to Yiyang. The whole world watched one person perform. What a great achievement it was!

Yiyang really hopes that when he retires one day, he can enjoy such treatment...

Of course, Yiyang did not forget to comfort his good brother Hayward. In the last two key games against the Mavericks and Lakers, the Jazz were really unlucky. If the Jazz change two opponents, maybe they will be among the top eight in the Western Conference now. The Rockets, with Howard and Harden, are bound to be pushed to the forefront.

"Don't be discouraged, buddy, let's continue practicing this summer. If you still don't succeed next season, I will join the Jazz!" Although Yiyang's consoling text message was joking, it still made Hayward amused.

give up? Are you kidding me, too. The Iron-blooded Sir never knows what giving up means. This season, let's just think that the Jazz team gave Kobe a farewell gift.

As for the Houston Rockets, who had great luck and stole the Jazz's eighth spot, they met the Mavericks in the first round, and their good luck ended there.

There are records, tears, smiles, and blood. The 15-16 NBA regular season is definitely the most legendary season in NBA history. Even after many years, fans will smile knowingly when mentioning it.

But the regular season is over, and the Mavericks' journey to win three consecutive championships has officially begun.
