Chapter 350 The Playoffs Are Coming (10/10)

Chapter 350 The playoffs are coming (1010)

He wants to achieve a blowout in the third season, which must also be taken into consideration.

The season is fast, and it is mid-April in a blink of an eye. The curtain of the regular season is about to fall, and the playoffs are also approaching.

The Spurs head to Los Angeles that day, where they will face the Lakers for the third and final time of the season.

The Lakers traded very successfully at the trade deadline.

Sean Livingston and CJ Myers provided the Lakers with a very scarce defense.

D'Antoni also adopted Kobe's suggestion to put Gasol on the bench, and used a lineup of one big and four small to successfully speed up the team.

Thanks to these changes, the Lakers' record after the All-Star break is very eye-catching, and they have locked in fifth place in the Western Conference with one game left.

A small deal allowed the team to go from eighth to fifth, and Kupchak was once again enshrined by Lakers fans.

"I owe you a great favor."

But only Bryant knows why this change happened.

He really owed Tang Tian a great favor.

Counting the two favors from Vasani before, Tang Tian has become the great benefactor of Kobe and his wife.

But Tang Tian didn't care too much.

For him, it's just a matter of talking.

And things like favors might come in handy in the future.

When he arrived in Los Angeles, before the game started, he unexpectedly received a call from Ridley Scott.

"The Martian" was a big success, and apart from Olsen's elation, Scott also made a lot of money.

He was busy promoting the movie before, but this time Tang Tian came to Los Angeles, he wanted to treat Tang Tian to a meal no matter what.

Tang Tian didn't refuse either. After the training ended, he took a taxi directly to the hotel.

A very high-end western restaurant.

However, after Tang Tian entered, he found that Scott was not the only one inside, but also a middle-aged man in his fifties with a bulging stomach and head.

"David, this is Don, he's a basketball celebrity."

"Don, this is David Yates, my fellow Englishman."

Scott introduced them both.

Tang Tian smiled and shook hands with Yates, but he didn't know why Scott would find a stranger on this occasion.

After sitting down and chatting for a while, Tang didn't know what Scott was up to.

David Yates, like Scott, is a British film director.

Scott undoubtedly mentioned in the chat that Tang Tiancai knew that he was the director of the fifth to seventh parts of "Harry Potter".

Olsen is Tang Tian's girlfriend, and Scott knows about it. The purpose of introducing Yates to him at this time is obvious.

It's finding new movie opportunities for Olson.

Scott is returning his favor.

Although Tang Tian didn't want to let Olsen continue to make movies, but if Olsen still wanted to continue making movies in the future, this could be considered a good contact.

"I've seen Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, and I think it's the most successful movie in the Harry Potter series."

Tang Tian smiled and said to Yates.

He is still very good at communication, and there is actually no problem with what he said.

The advancement of film technology, the direction of the plot of the Harry Potter series, including the success of filming, and many other factors have contributed to the fact that the fifth film, Order of the Phoenix, is currently the film with the best reputation and box office.

"In fact, I admire Elizabeth's acting skills very much. She will be the best newcomer actor this year."

Yates also had a timely wave of commercial bragging.

However, just like Tang Tian's words, this wave of mutual bragging is also based on reality. "The Martian" became a hit, and Olsen has indeed become famous in the film and television industry.

When the meal was about the same, Scott also said that if there was anything about the movie, he could come to him at any time.

Tang Tian nodded.

With Scott's network, Yates is just the beginning.

In the long run, even if Tang Tian wants to make a basketball series movie in the future, it will be a very easy thing.

The last regular season game has nothing to do with rankings, and the main players of both sides basically didn't play much.

After this game is over, the regular season of the 2012~2013 season will officially come to an end.

The Spurs' final record was fixed at 64 wins and 18 losses. This record also broke the team's 63 wins in 2005-06 and set the best record in regular season history.

Even if Tang Tian's playing time hadn't been deliberately reduced in those few games, the Spurs' record could have been increased by one more.

Tang Tian also ended his journey in his second year as a rookie.

Compared with his rookie season, his statistics have made great progress.

This year, he played in all 82 games, starting 81 of them.

He averaged 30.8 minutes per game, scored 17.8 points, 2.1 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 2.3 steals and 2.1 blocks, shooting 48% from the field and 50% from the three-point range.

His scoring average is higher than Duncan's 17.5 points, second only to Parker's 20.3 points, and he is the team's second scorer.

It is no exaggeration to say that in his second year as a rookie, he played the peak performance of a role player.

Among the other teams in the West, the Thunder ranked second with a record of 60 wins and 22 losses.

Durant averaged 28.3 points, 8.1 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.3 blocks per game this season. All statistics have increased compared with last season.

But the only pity is that his scoring streak was broken by Anthony (averaging 28.7 points per game), and he stopped at three consecutive games.

The Nuggets are third with a 57-25 record.

This record is also the best record in the history of the Nuggets.

They ranked fourth in ESPN's pre-season list predictions, and were endlessly complained by fans, but in the end they succeeded in rectifying their names, which is impressive.

The Clippers finished fourth with 56 wins and 26 losses, one game behind.

The final record of the Lakers is 53 wins and 29 losses.

This record is far from the predictions of fans at the beginning of the season.

But after missing the playoffs in the first half of the season, this is already a good result.

And more importantly, all F4 members will play in the playoffs in good health, which will make them very competitive in the playoffs.

The Warriors finished sixth with a record of 47-35.

Their record has doubled compared to last year (23 wins and 59 losses), and the changes Mark Jackson brought to this team are visible to the naked eye.

The Grizzlies are seventh with a 46-36 record.

They encountered Gasol's injury after the All-Star Game, and their record has fluctuated.

For the Memphis people, Gasol's comeback before the end of the regular season and his return to form is their best news.

The Rockets finally ranked eighth in the West with a record of 44 wins and 38 losses, avoiding the embarrassing ninth and third consecutive sittings in the West.

At the same time, this is also the first time they have returned to the playoffs since the end of the MM era since the 2008-09 season.

The Jazz (43-39) and Mavericks (42-40) are out.

With the determination of the Western Conference rankings, the playoffs will also be released.

The Spurs will face the Rockets in the first round.

The Thunder will face the challenge of the Grizzlies.

The two upstarts, the Nuggets and the Warriors, will fight each other.

And the Clippers and Lakers, a pair of teams in the same city, will decide who is the real king of Los Angeles.
