Chapter 865: Season Summary, Playoffs Begin

The same Los Angeles team, the Clippers confirmed their top spot in the season early, but the Lakers did not win their playoff spots until the last two games of the season, and relied on the record advantage to beat the Rockets in seventh place in the West.

However, making the playoffs or not makes little difference for the Lakers, as team leader Kobe Bryant ruptured his Achilles tendon in Game 3 of the regular season against the Warriors and will be reimbursed for the season.

In line with the principle that people are hard to dismantle, there is really no need to criticize Mamba again.

The only ones who really need to take the blame for the ridicule are Jim Buss and Kupchak, and if the old Buss had predicted the current Lakers, he would probably not have been able to see it.

Blindly pursuing superstars without considering the configuration of the team is not only a loser, but also a brain-dead.

Back then, in order to allow Bass Jr. to succeed smoothly, the old Bass had to banish the logo man - Jerry West, and let Kupchak take control of the management, but from the current point of view, I have to say that the old Bass made a mistake.

Without the LOGO man on the side, Kupchak's gambling problem was immediately unobstructed.

The crown prince has just succeeded to the throne, and it is understandable that he wants to make achievements.

As an old courtier, you blindly indulge, and even help the prince to create a superficial prosperous scene, without considering the current situation of the Lakers, is a dereliction of duty.

In fact, looking at the reaction of the old fox in San Antonio, the ending should have been known a long time ago.

** Vicky said that the Lakers got Gasol as a robbery, but did not express any opinion on the Lakers' formation of this F4 team, which fully proves that the second-generation F4 is seriously incompatible.

When many professional media evaluate the Lakers in the 12-13 season, in addition to lamenting the team's long-term injury, most of the time they are questioning the team's chemistry.

Ruan Erniu regretted that he couldn't meet the Lakers in the first round of the playoffs, the city derby was originally very interesting, and the Lakers who met the Thunder basically had no hope of passing the first round.

As the 12-13 regular season comes to an end, the league's data lists are also released.

Erniu was crowned the scoring champion again with an average of 37.5 points per game, and in the six years since entering the league, Erniu has won the scoring king award four times.

Melon who went to New York cried and fainted in the toilet again, when it comes to scoring ability, Anthony is undoubtedly the league's leading player, but in his prime, there was Kobe Bryant in front of him, and then Erniu and Durant, so that Anthony finally overtook Durant with an average of 28.7 points per game this season, but he still missed the scoring title.

Durant's mentality is relatively relaxed, after all, he has already won the scoring title once last season when he was injured by Erniu, which has established the position of the league's first-tier scorer.

In contrast, Anthony's career has been difficult to get a chance to fight back.

On the rebounding list, Kraft Nguyen dominated the list for the fifth time in his career, due to Jordan Jr.'s poor performance in the early stage, Erniu's rebounding data has improved slightly this season, he averaged 19.4 rebounds per game, which is 6 more than Dwight Howard, who averaged 12.4 rebounds per game in second place.

In terms of rebounding, Ruan Erniu has always been a unique existence, even if he changed from the No. 5 position to the No. 4 position, even if he increased the proportion of three-point shots, the frontcourt rebounds declined, and the backcourt rebounds were divided by Jordan Jr., he still firmly dominated the league rebounding.

From that perspective, Howard, like Durant, was lucky.

In the year when Erniu was injured, Spark won the rebounding king and D-POY, otherwise his career would have left a huge regret.

To be honest, during the reign of the Celestial Empire, most of the players in the league could only compete for second place for a long time.

Of course, on some lists, Erniu is also helpless, such as assists and steals.

There is nothing to say about assists, with the Clippers' one-vote pitcher and Erniu's stable output, Paul became the assist king with an average of 12.7 per game, beating Rondo's 11.1.

C Duo lost to CP3 for two consecutive years, and it was also helpless.

Ruan Erniu's assist bonus directly made Rondo fall short in the competition for the assist throne for two consecutive years.

On the steal list, Ruan Erniu lost to Paul again, yes, CP3 averaged 2.4 steals per game this time, beating Ruan Erniu's average of 2.3 times per game and became the steal king.

In terms of the total number of steals, Erniu, who remains healthy, is actually above Paul, but there is no way, the scoring standard for the steal list is to calculate the average number of assists per game under the qualified number of appearances.

This is also the second season that Erniu has lost to Paul on the steals list.

Of course, from another point of view, it can also be seen that the pickle girl combination has won the top two on the steal list for two consecutive seasons.

The top spot on the blocking list is another Celestial Empire, and the bull is once again the king of blocks with an average of 3.4 blocks per game, which is the third time he has become the league's block king.

Aside from his injured season, only Marcus Camby and Serge Ibaka have taken away the two blocks with 3.6 and 3.7 non-human stats per game, respectively.

From a longer time perspective, Erniu is still the first blocker in the league, which is in stark contrast to his not-so-top height.

On the turnovers list, James Harden, who is fast moving closer to the Uchiha family, is the league's top player with 3.8 turnovers per game, followed by Jrue Holiday and Kobe Bryant, both with 3.7 turnovers.

Anthony tops the league with an average of 12 times per game, and it turns out that he is not disappointed that he can't win the scoring title, because Kraft Nguyen and Kevin Durant are both extremely efficient people and haven't even made it to the top 10 in the iron list.

By the way, Kobe Bryant, who ranks second in the iron list with an average of 11 iron strikes per game, has contracted the top three positions in the single-game iron record this season: 25, 22, and 22.

Well, it's hard to dismantle people, let's talk about the team's record.

The data of the individual list is out, and the rankings of the east and west have naturally been determined.

In the East, the 1-8 places are: Heat, Knicks, Pacers, Nets, Bulls, Hawks, Celtics, and Bucks.

So the playoff situation in the East is:

Top half: Heat vs. Bucks, Nets vs. Bulls

Bottom half: Knicks vs. Celtics, Pacers vs. Hawks

The Heat, who changed the head coach, are still strong, and Woodson has not made much changes to this team, he just uses James as Ruan Erniu, so the Heat easily won the first place in the East and the second place in the league.

If it weren't for Ruan Erniu, James would definitely have a chance to compete for the first MVP of his career this season.

Speaking of the biggest disappointment in the league in recent years, it is probably neither the Green Kai Big Three, nor Howard and Kobe, but the leader of the League of Frustrated People can only be LeBron James.

The Chosen Son has almost become the queen runner of Erniu in the MVP list.

In addition to the 10-11 season, Ruan Erniu was reimbursed due to injury, and Rose rose strongly, James has been ranked second on the MVP list for five consecutive years since the 08-09 season, and four of them ranked first were brute.

Unless all the reporters in charge of voting are selectively blind, or the league is determined to ignore the principle of fairness and become an MVP, it is only a matter of time before James misses out on the MVP again.

It's a bit of a surprise that the Knicks were able to finish second in the East, and the early season reimbursement of Smalls deprived the team of the possibility of going further.

In such a situation, with the strong performances of Anthony, JR Smith, Tyson Chandler, and Raymond Felton, the team finally fought its way out of the East without top teams.

JR* Smith is so reliable in a contract year, and if it is a non-contract year, JR will not be able to play key games, and it will be a habitual pit to play dead.

Well, Doug Rivers' chicken soup also contributes to it.

The Pacers' rapid rise and Granger's marginalization will not affect the team's overall upward trend.

Especially after they have Paul George, David West, Lance Stephenson, Eric Bledsoe, Roy Hibbert and many more.

The Nets are also improving, with the combination of Deron and Joe Johnson and Brook Lopez giving hope and the Bears owner's repeated promises to build a championship roster that isn't exactly bragging, at least for now.

No one can ask them to do more with the Bulls, the Windy City Roses continue to be reimbursed by injuries, and Ruel Deng is the team leader, and such a team is still in the playoff sequence, which is already a surprise.

And in the unknown corner, a player who looks like Jordan is gradually growing, and he is Jimmy Butler.

The Hawks traded for Dragic and left Dragic, and it was not bad to be able to play 6th in the East, and Jeff Teague, who was traded from the Jazz and barely played, was the finishing touch, and the team finally had a relatively reliable guy in the No. 1 spot.

Green Kai is old, but once they enter the playoffs, they will still cause a lot of trouble for the Knicks.

As for the Bucks, as long as their team leader is still Brandon Jennings, they have no hope.

Here's why, here's what Jennings said about the first round of the playoffs in an interview when he was involved in a local charity event:

"I'm really confident. I'm sure everybody has ticked us off [from the playoff charts], but I think we're going to win the series in six games." ”

Jennings has never been an efficient superstar, and 55 points in a single game and six wins over the Heat in his rookie season were enough to comment on his career.

After talking about the east, let's look at the west.

In the West, the 1-8 places are: Clippers, Thunder, Spurs, Nuggets, Grizzlies, Warriors, Lakers, and Rockets.

So the format of the western matchup is:

Top half: Clippers vs. Rockets, Nuggets vs. Grizzlies

Second half: Thunder vs. Lakers, Spurs vs. Warriors

After the Thunder left Harden, they relied on Kevin Martin to barely support, but the decline in overall strength is still obvious.

From a tactical point of view, the team lacked offensive points that could attack with the ball before Reggie Jackson had grown up.

The Spurs are old and strong, whenever you think they are dying, they can still dangle in front of you from time to time, and without absolute strength, they really can't win them.

Nuggets head coach George Karl is the biggest rival for the Bulls in the race for Coach of the Season of the Year.

It's great to have 74 wins and 37 straight wins, but it is not surprising that Nguyen Er Niu has already set a record of 75 wins in the season, 27 wins in the opening season, and 34 wins in a row in the 09-10 season, and the Clippers are the defending champions.

Relatively speaking, it seems even more incredible to be able to bring a team like the Nuggets to the top four in the West.

You know, at the beginning of the season, many media outlets directly ranked the Nuggets out of the playoff list.

It's a miracle that the team, whose highest personal average is less than 17 points per game, has become fourth in the fiercely competitive West Conference.

The Grizzlies traded away Guy in exchange for Prince, and the team played more holistically, but it wasn't easy to go far in the playoffs.

They are a strong team, but they are not a top team.

The rise of the Warriors surprised most people, but it did not exceed Erniu's expectations, and with the old guy Jerry West, all this is just a natural thing.

Erniu has a hunch that as long as the LOGO man is in the Warriors for a day, sooner or later the Clippers will meet the Warriors in the playoffs.

Needless to say, the Lakers made the playoffs, but they almost certainly won't make it past the first round because they're up against the talented Thunder.

The Rockets are naturally welcome to return to the playoffs, but James Harden, who has just completed his transformation from the team's sixth man to the team's leader, is not much sure of beating the defending champions.

In the first round of the playoffs, there was another Celestial Empire derby, this time the target was Erniu and Yi Jianlian.

In addition, because Jeremy Lin is in the Rockets, there are three yellow-skinned spots in the league for the first time.

In the 08-09 season, when the Rockets and Hawks met in the finals, Er Niu and Da Yao got the opportunity to talk directly on the court, but Sun Yue was the caretaker of the water cooler, and he rarely had a chance to play in the playoffs.

On April 2013, the first round of the playoffs in the West began.

The Clippers host the Houston Rockets.

The home and away teams started as follows:

For the Clippers:

C DeAndre Jordan

PF Nguyen Er Niu

SF Kawhi Leonard

SG Matt Barnes

PG Chris Paul

Rockets:

C Omir Asik

PF Yijianlian

S.F. Chandler Parsons

SG James Harden

P.G. Jeremy Lin

It can be seen that the Clippers still attach great importance to the Rockets themselves, and would rather sacrifice a certain amount of aggression to strangle Harden on the defensive end, which can be regarded as giving Harkishi the greatest face.

The reality of the game was that the defending champions didn't spend much time on their first-round opponents, and although the Rockets were bent on playing well, Harden was still defended by Kawaii and Pa Ye.

As for Parsons, who is called "rich and handsome" by Celestial Empire fans, it is also difficult to do anything in the playoffs.

Jeremy Lin and Yi Jianlian completely lost themselves under the high-intensity defense of the pickle girl combination, and they couldn't find the rhythm of playing at all.

At 91:130, the pickled girl group clocked out of work in the third quarter, and the Clippers took the lead at home and won the G1 of the series. 8)
