447. The Competition For The Playoff Spot Is Becoming More And More Fierce

After this game, the Lakers have achieved a record of 49 wins and 22 losses. They have already caught up with the second team in the Western Conference playoffs. As for the Warriors and Spurs in the first group, it is estimated that there is little chance to catch up this season.

The Warriors have achieved 65 wins and 7 losses so far. They are only 8 games away from breaking the record of 72 wins. There are 10 games left in the regular season. They have a good chance to break the record.

And the old Spurs, once again proved to people that they are old and steady. With a record of 61 wins and 11 losses, they firmly occupy the second place in the Western Conference.

In third place is the Thunder. Their current record is 50 wins and 22 losses, ranking third in the West. Only one game ahead of the Lakers, the advantage is not great.

It was thought that the two teams would meet in the playoffs, but it seems that there is no chance.

After all, if the Thunder meets the Warriors, they basically have no chance for the next round.

The Warriors are so fierce in the regular season that neither the Thunder nor the Lakers are willing to face them in advance. The targeting of the third and fourth place will inevitably become more intense as a result.

It seems that the third position in the West is bound to be won, and facing the Spurs in the second round must be much more comfortable than facing the Warriors.

The Clippers behind them currently have a record of 46 wins and 27 losses, and they still have a chance to catch up with the two teams in front.

The situation of the top five in the West is becoming more and more obvious, and the competition for the last three is very fierce.

The Dallas Mavericks, Portland Trail Blazers, Memphis Grizzlies, Houston Rockets, and Utah Jazz all have a chance to qualify for the playoffs. Five teams compete for three places. The last dozen or so games will definitely be very exciting .

The Lakers just rested for a day, and they ushered in a new round of opponents, sitting at home against the Washington Wizards.

The Wizards are currently ranked ninth in the Eastern Conference. Although their winning percentage has not yet reached 50%, they still have a chance to make it to the playoffs.

Therefore, in this game, they did not want to give up easily, and went all out to win the Lakers.

The overall strength of the Wizards is actually not bad, but this year's performance is very bad.

In this game, the Wizards put on the strongest lineup, with two shots in the backcourt, Walga Bill, small forward Porter, and the inside combination is "Polish Iron 々" Hammer" Gortat [partnered by veteran Nene.

Even Ye Fei didn't know how their combination of insiders could compete with Ye Fei.

The two post players are old and slow, shouldn't Ye Fei beat them?

The Wizards had no intention of targeting Ye Fei inside, but targeting the Lakers' outside players. Let Gortat handle the inside line alone, and Nene can defend against it

The Wizards have two guns in the backcourt. Both of them averaged 17+ points per game. They have a good backcourt combination. They want to win the game through the outstanding performance of outside players.

As for Ye Fei, no matter what he does, he can't guard against it anyway.

The tactical arrangement of the Wizards achieved extremely satisfactory results in the first quarter.

After the start of the game, Ye Fei took the lead in attacking Gortat under the basket and scored a heavy dunk for the Lakers.

It was the Wizards' turn to attack, and they played smart.

Gortat pulls Ye Fei out, Wall runs a pick-and-roll with him, forces the Lakers to switch, and Wall throws the ball to Bill on the other side. The latter used his personal ability to get to the inside and succeeded in picking the basket. The two sides fought to a 2-2 tie.

With the Lakers' offense, the Wizards still gave Ye Fei a chance to play in the paint, but Gortat obviously couldn't defend it.

Another easy singles attack succeeded, and Ye Fei scored two more points for the Lakers.

The Wizards played their own tactics step by step. Wall held the ball outside, let Gortat come out to cover, forced the Lakers to switch defenses, and handed the ball to Bill on the other side. It was the same tactic.

But for this ball, Bill used a breakthrough to attract the defense and handed the ball to Porter who was open. The latter hit a three-pointer, 5 to 4, and the Wizards overtook the score.

The Wizards still let Ye Fei attack inside. If you really want to score, let you score. I just don’t foul. If there is a chance, help defend. Anyway, other people don't want to score easily.

Ye Fei was overwhelmed on the inside, even if Nei Nei assisted in defending, he was still not blocked, and he scored two more points.

But when it was the Wizards' turn to attack, their tactics still played smoothly. Relying on the combination of double guns in the backcourt and Garbot, Wall found an opportunity to hit a three-pointer from the outside.

The Wizards gradually widened the point difference, and the Lakers seemed to be playing passively.

The next time the Lakers attacked, the Wizards suddenly changed their defensive strategy, and the three double-teamed ahead of time, denying Ye Fei a chance to attack with the ball.

The ball could not be handed in, and the opportunity finally appeared in Rondo's hands. The opposing defensive player let him more than one meter away.

Seeing that there is not much time to attack, Rondo can only choose to make his own shot [Missed a mid-range jumper.

The five Wizards protected the rebounds and pushed for a quick counterattack. Before the Lakers were fully positioned, Bill hit a three-pointer again.

Relying on this set of tactics, the Wizards played comfortably in the first quarter.

Even if the three-pointer feeling in the back is not so hot, but at the end of the first quarter, the Wizards still lead the Lakers by 8 points 34 to 26.

Except for Ye Fei who scored 18 points for the Lakers, the rest of the players did not contribute much.

It will become very difficult for the opponent to grind like this.

After the Wizards had an advantage, their momentum became stronger and stronger. With Ye Fei's off-court rest time, they opened up the point difference again, and they completely took the initiative on the court.

On the other hand, the Lakers players began to get lost on the offensive end, but on the defensive end, there is no good way to take the Wizards' perimeter.

Although Ye Fei played quite brutally, the score still could not be reversed.

At the end of the halftime game, the Wizards still held the lead and broke through.

If the game continues like this, maybe Mom Zhao's wizards will win.

Back from the intermission, the Lakers' starters were still sleepwalking. Rondo's weakness has been infinitely magnified, and the Wizards simply don't bother to pay attention to him. As long as he doesn't break through to the inside, they don't care about him at all.

With one less offensive organization point, Ye Fei will focus on personal offense.

The Lakers played very hard. After three quarters, they failed to overtake the score.

After all, Ye Fei scored two points inside, and the opponent could hit three points, and the shooting percentage was not bad, so it was not so easy to overtake the score.

The team was in trouble, but it inspired all of Ye Fei's fighting spirit. This game cannot be lost.

In the increasingly fierce playoff qualifying battle, we must take the initiative. Ye Fei wants to give the Thunder to the Warriors.

The Thunder won the last game, so the Lakers can't lose this game.

It seems that only Ye Fei can stand up to save the Lakers. .
