On April 13, Beijing time, the penultimate game day of the NBA regular season, three key battles for the Western Conference play-offs were held, the Lakers narrowly defeated the Grizzlies 123-120, the Pelicans narrowly defeated the Warriors 114-109, and the Suns narrowly defeated the Kings 108-107.
Below, let's not talk nonsense, go straight to the dry goods, and take a look at today's four facts and five incredibles:
Four facts
1. James is really strong. Against the Grizzlies, Lakers star James shot 13 of 20, scored 37 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal, averaging 25+ points per game in the season, and averaged 25+ points per game for 20 consecutive seasons, the first in NBA history.
2. Curry's three-pointers are amazing. Against the Pelicans, Warriors star Stephen Curry shot 7 of 13 three-pointers and hit a total of 357 three-pointers in the season, surpassing Curry's 354 in the 18-19 season and rising to the third place in the NBA history single-season three-point shooting list, second only to Harden's 378 three-pointers in the 18-19 season and Curry's 402 three-pointers in the 15-16 season.
3. Durant can still play. Against the Kings, Durant scored 28 points and scored 2,017 points this season, becoming only the third player in NBA history to score 2,000 points in a single season after the age of 35, the other two being Karl Malone with 2,095 points in the 99-00 season and Inglish with 2,175 points in the 88-89 season.
4. The Warriors basically missed the top half. If the Warriors want to advance to the top half, they must win the Jazz, while the Lakers lose to the Pelicans and the Kings lose to the Trail Blazers. The Kings lost to the Trail Blazers by almost 0, so in all likelihood, the Kings are eighth, the Warriors are ninth, and the Lakers are tenth.
Five incredible
1. Little Pippen's father possessed. Against the Lakers, Pippen Jr. played 30 minutes, shooting 12 of 22, 3 of 7 three-pointers, 1 of 2 free throws, and scored 28 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 steals, setting a new single-game high in his career.
2. Green Alternative Double-Double. Against the Pelicans, Green played 35 minutes and 57 seconds, made 0 shots and 0 free throws, contributed 0 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists, becoming the first player in history to score at least 10 rebounds and 10 assists with 0 shots and 0 free throws in the whole game, and also the fourth player in history to score a double-double with 0 shots, the other three being Satoranski, Giddey, and Norm Van Leal.
3. CJ is so strong in three points. Against the Warriors, Pelicans star CJ McCollum played 38 minutes, shooting 10 of 21, 8 of 13 three-pointers, scoring 28 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks, and after shooting 8 three-pointers, he has made a total of 235 three-pointers this season, surpassing Peja (227) to become the first three-point shot in a single season in team history.
4. Clay really can't go back to the past. Against the Pelicans, he played 38 minutes, made only 6 of 19 shots, contributed 19 points and 6 rebounds, such efficiency was too disappointing, and "Buddha" never had a teenager again.
5. Cole is really not top. Too obsessed with four-guard tactics, too lying on the historical merits, sticking to the inside, letting the Pelicans make too many outside three-point shots, and directly letting the Pelicans take away the game in the way of the Warriors, is too unexpected.
