One Thousand Three Hundred and Twenty One: The Last Match Day

Joel Embiid used a beautiful three-point shot to severely punish Howard who was hiding in the penalty area.

This three-pointer gave Embiid his 28th point of the game!

At the same time, it also helped the Philadelphia 76ers gain a 13-point lead.

At this point, there is only one minute left in the game. It is not easy for the Grizzlies to reverse 13 points in one minute.

Logically speaking, Embiid should be very happy now.

He has not forgotten the humiliation of being fined and suspended from the league the last time he and Link failed to fight.

In today's game, Embiid got his revenge.

However, facing his own 28th point and a 13-point lead, Embiid couldn't be happy.

Because today, the Grizzlies didn't play Link at all! The other starting players only played about 20 minutes.

This victory is not a true victory at all.

Today is April 13, the last match day of the 19-20 regular season.

After this game, the fierce playoffs will begin.

So today, Jorge didn't let the main players play much at all. He took a lot of rest to prepare for the upcoming playoffs.

Therefore, Embiid, who is about to win the game, does not find it anything to be happy about.

Defeating a Grizzlies team that didn't attack at full strength, what's there to be thankful for?

Besides, the 76ers' record decline this season also makes Embiid unhappy.

Last season, the 76ers managed to win 51 games, ranking third in the Eastern Conference.

After the reinforcements last summer, everyone is optimistic that the 76ers can dominate the Eastern Conference after Leonard leaves. People are expecting the 76ers to win 60 games this year!

The results of it? The 76ers now have a record of only 47 wins and 34 losses. Even if they beat the Grizzlies, they would only have 48 wins.

After the reinforcements, the 76ers' record was worse than last season!

And this year,

The competition in the East is fierce. With the Bucks, Raptors, Celtics, Heat and Pacers before them, the 76ers can only rank sixth in the Eastern Conference this season!

From third to sixth, this is definitely a huge step back. What's more, it is even more unforgivable to regress despite strengthening the lineup in the summer.

The 76ers have failed in the regular season this season. From fans to management, everyone is very disappointed with the team's performance this season.

Embiid also increasingly dislikes his positioning as a space-based fifth position, but due to the presence of Ben Simmons, he has to compromise.

At this time, rumors were flying about whether the 76ers would keep Simmons or Embiid, which made Embiid uneasy.

Therefore, Embiid really feels that there is nothing to be thankful for.

The victory in this game cannot make up for the lack of success this season.

On the other hand, the Grizzlies, relying on their incredible 35-game winning streak from the end of November to the beginning of February, now have a record of 75 wins and 6 losses!

Winning or losing this game is not important to the Grizzlies at all.

Another 75 wins. This is the second time since the 16-17 season that the Grizzlies have achieved 75 wins in a single season!

70 wins in the 12-13 season, 74 wins in the 13-14 season, and 75 wins in the 16-17 season.

Before Link appeared, in the many years of NBA history, there had only been one 70-win season, which was the Bulls' thunderous 72-win season.

But the existence of Link made this record that was once considered "the most difficult to break" instantly open to mass production mode and completely normalized.

In just nine years, Link has achieved 70+ wins in a single season three times. After the tenth year of this year, the number of times the Grizzlies have won more than 70 games in a single season has reached four times!

This means that in nearly half of the seasons of Link's career, he has achieved 70 wins.

If you include the Warriors' 74-win season (74 wins in China), then Link has achieved 70 wins in a single season five times in his ten years in the league!

From being the most difficult record to break, to appearing five times in ten years... This is undoubtedly a terrifying record. No one thought that Link could actually achieve it again in the last year of his career. Get a 75 win.

Such an achievement is as incredible as Link's previous 83 points and 33 consecutive victories.

However, in fact, the Grizzlies have a chance to break the 75-win record this season.

Just in the past March, the Grizzlies' main players suffered from injuries and therefore lost some games.

And when the lineup becomes complete again, the playoffs are coming again.

In order to prepare for the playoffs, Joger decided to control the playing time of the main players. Just like today, he deliberately let the main players rest. Even if the Grizzlies lose, Joger can accept it.

All in all, he must now put protecting players first.

Without a series of injuries in March and Joerger's rest policy, it would have been easy for the Grizzlies to break through 75 wins.

This is the Memphis Grizzlies in the regular season this season. Even if they lose this game today, they cannot hide the fact that they played a great season.

Therefore, those who are going to lose today feel nothing, while those who are going to win are extremely depressed.

The whole relationship is turned upside down.

Embiid looked at his scores and point difference and felt that everything was boring.

Did you win?

No, this season, he and the Philadelphia 76ers lost in a mess.

A minute later, the backboard glowed red and the game was over.

112 to 103, the 76ers successfully defeated the Memphis Grizzlies on the road.

But the 75-win Grizzlies still defeated the 60-win Lakers and entered the playoffs as the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference for the fourth consecutive year!

Although the 76ers have achieved 48 wins, they have the same record as the Pacers.

But because the Pacers' record against the 76ers this season is 3 wins and 1 loss, the 76ers' ranking has also not changed.

Speaking of which, the 76ers can only be sixth in the Eastern Conference despite winning 48 games this year.

This may be the most competitive Eastern Conference in the past five years.

At the end of the game, the coaches from both sides shook hands in a friendly manner. They all know that the possibility of the two teams meeting in the playoffs is slim.

With the 76ers' status this year, can they break out of the Eastern Conference?

The probability is really too small.

Embiid didn't hug anyone and walked back to the tunnel. He was clearly a winner, but he ran away like a loser.

Originally, the 76ers' Waterloo record this season and Embiid's shrinking data were heartbreaking enough. Now compared with Link, Embiid feels even more insignificant.

He was really embarrassed to hug and shake hands with Link. His strong sense of inferiority prevented Embiid from even having the courage to face Link.

Many 76ers players also left the court directly like Embiid.

So much so that the reporters at the scene couldn’t find anyone to interview...

Just like that, peacefully, the regular season of the 19-20 season ended.

Link's final game of the regular season was not as sensational as Kobe's, nor as tear-jerking as Wade's.

The fans didn't have any special feelings at all, just like every last game of the regular season for ten years.

Link didn't say much and returned to the locker room after the game.

Everyone knows that Link will appear here in a few days to continue fighting.

Link also knows that the last stage of his career has not yet been completed.

Now, it's not time to put an end to all this.

The last game day of the regular season has been played, which means that the ranking of the top eight in the Western Conference has been finally determined.

The Grizzlies and Lakers successfully held onto their top two spots in the Western Conference.

Although Old Rivers' Los Angeles Clippers struggled wildly during the regular season and took crazy turns, they still entered the playoffs as third in the Western Conference, which is enough to illustrate the strength of the Clippers.

The Utah Jazz, led by Mitchell and Gobert, ranked fourth. They were originally preparing to rebuild the dilapidated Thunder, but were surprised to be brought to fifth by Paul.

The Houston Rockets, which has suffered a more serious decline than the 76ers, only ranked sixth in the Western Conference this season and only won 43 games. The "Money Ball Theory" is getting further and further away from the championship.

Ranking seventh and eighth are the Denver Nuggets and the young Dallas Mavericks respectively.

Compared with last season, the situation this year has changed drastically. The Spurs, Trail Blazers and Warriors, three regular playoff teams, have all been eliminated.

The addition of the Nuggets, Lakers and Mavericks undoubtedly gave fans a strong sense of freshness.

With the addition of new blood and the emotional bonus from Link's final season, most people are still looking forward to this year's playoffs.

But Luka Doncic is not looking forward to it at all.

Playing in the playoffs for the first time in my career, I met Link... What kind of bad luck is this...

Embiid and Doncic are undoubtedly the most distressed winners at this time.
