On April 14, 2004, after the final round of the 03-04 NBA regular season, the Mavericks defeated the Rockets, who were also pure bench players, 98-93, so that the Mavericks achieved their seventieth win in the regular season this season, and they became the third team in NBA history to win 70.

The Rockets continued their stable form after opening up the win against the Nuggets, and Yao Min finally showed his role as a low-post killer. In the last few games, Yao Min averaged 25.3 points and 10.9 rebounds per game, and the performance was so brilliant that the whole league applauded, under Yao Min's brave play, the Rockets locked the seventh position in the West two games in advance, and successfully avoided the Mavericks, while the Nuggets lost two games unexpectedly in the last few games, but unfortunately the Jazz did not seize the opportunity to catch up with the Nuggets, so the Jazz could only regretfully rank ninth in the West.

The regular season has come to an end, the East and West standings have finally been finalized, and the playoff matchups have been cleared, and teams have begun to seize the final time to prepare for the upcoming playoffs.

The eight teams in the West to advance to the playoffs are: Dallas Mavericks, Minnesota Timberwolves, Los Angeles Lakers, San Antonio Spurs, Sacramento Kings, Memphis Grizzlies, Houston Rockets and Denver Nuggets.

Although the Rockets avoided the Mavericks, the Timberwolves are not such an easy team to deal with, but according to the Rockets' style of play, if they are against the Timberwolves, it is not without a fight, first of all, Yao Min has a great advantage, and whether he can advance to the next round depends on whether the Rockets can reasonably link the inside and outside while doing a good job of defense.

The Timberwolves are actually quite reluctant to meet the Rockets in the playoffs, after all, the existence of Yao Min will reduce Garnett's advantage on the inside, and Garnett may be able to rely on his mobility and interior ability to play his own characteristics when playing other teams, but the Rockets are a team that is good at shrinking defense, and in the face of such a team, the Timberwolves are actually more frightening.

This round of the game between the Lakers and the Grizzlies is actually more interesting, after all, the current general manager of the Grizzlies is Jerry West, the former star of the Lakers, but various media predict that the outcome of this round of the series will be clearer, after all, the emerging Grizzlies cannot be the opponent of the "F4" Lakers.

The most interesting round of the first round of the playoffs on the Western side is the matchup between the Spurs and the Kings, and the matchup between the two teams with very clear style characteristics will inevitably spark, and the difference in strength between the two teams is not too big, and the head coaches of both teams are also famous coaches in the NBA, and the media predicts that this round of the series will be played in Game 7.

The teams in the East will qualify for the playoffs: Indiana Pacers, New Jersey Nets, Detroit Pistons, Miami Heat, New Orleans Hornets, Milwaukee Bucks, New York Knicks, and Boston Celtics.

There is no suspense in the series between the Pacers and the Celtics, Liu Han's friend Pierce still needs to continue to sharpen, although the Celtics have reached the top eight in the East, the team is still chaotic, and they now need a strong head coach to completely shatter the previous "glory" and start all over again.

The matchup between the Nets and the Knicks can be called a battle in the same city, after all, many fans living in New Jersey work in New York, and the Nets are like the Knicks' "poor relative", but now this "poor relative" is preparing to counterattack their big brother.

The Nets are holding high the offensive banner in the style of defense that prevails in the East, and the team has scorers on the outside, excellent point guards, and Kenyon on the inside? Martin is in charge, it can be said that he is much stronger than the Knicks in terms of strength, and the Knicks are now on the verge of turmoil, Stephen? Marbury's arrogant personality and style of play have made him a huge opponent for the Knicks, and he has a lot of friends with the team's general manager, Isaiah? There was no longer the initial harmony between Thomas, and the contradictions between the two sides began to become apparent.

Media predicts that the Nets will end the series in five to six games.

There was no suspense in the series between the Pistons and the Bucks, who relied on outside shooting to make the playoffs, but it was clear that they lacked playoff experience, and the team's core, Michael? Reid also lacks enough "lethal" weapons, and it will be difficult for him to shake the Pistons' defense, and the Pistons now have Rashid who attracts the defense in the high position? Wallace exists, and it can be said that the Pistons now have no obvious shortcomings.

Perhaps the closest series in the East is between the Heat and the Hornets, both of whom were not favored by the media at the start of the season, but they have risen to prominence in the East, with the Heat finishing in the top four in the East.

However, the media is optimistic about the Heat, after all, the Heat have rich playoff experience, and their style of play is relatively brave, and there are no obvious holes in the defense, the Hornets are mainly based on outside offense, and the point guard Byron Davis is strong, but the Hornets have a big problem in defense.

The regular season has come to an end, and the individual honors have also begun, and the Mavericks will undoubtedly be the biggest winners.

Liu Han became the scoring champion this season with an average of 29.9 points per game, beating McGrady's 28.0 points per game, and Liu Han also became the second player to average a triple-double per game since "Big O" Robertson, Liu Han also averaged 10.3 rebounds and 10.6 assists per game this season.

The rebounding king was won by Garnett, who completely played his worth of 100 million yuan this season, if it weren't for Liu Han's existence, he would definitely be the regular season MVP this season.

Assist King by Jason? Kidd took away, Kidd averaged only 0.1 more assists per game than Liu Han, which can be said to be a narrow victory, after Stockton's retirement, few point guards in the league can brush up on more than 12 assists per game next season, I believe that no one will be able to shake the title of Stockton's all-time assist king in the future.

The block king was beaten by Theo of the Trail Blazers? Ratlief deserves to average 3.6 blocks per game.

The steal king was won by Byron Davis, and the average of 2.4 steals per game is a new low in recent years, Iverson has been plagued by injuries this season and has not continued his glory as the league's steal king.

In addition to these individual data honors, there are other honors that need to be judged, but MVP and Best Coach are basically certain, and if Liu Han and Nielsen are not elected, all fans around the world will question the fairness of the NBA.

The Mavericks don't really value these accolades, and they're now gearing up to make a big splash in the playoffs.
