Chapter 470: Jordan scolded his mother when he came
Compared to the East, the record of the Western teams is generally worse than that of the first line.
The first record in the West is the Los Angeles Lakers, who won 57 in the regular season.
The Lakers can win the first place in the West, which makes everyone fall through the glasses, after all, the Lakers' record last season was still the bottom of the league, so they were lucky to draw the champion to get Hao Peng.
No one expected that Hao Peng and Butler would have an excellent chemistry, with the two as the core and a pair of outside shooters, the Lakers are quite strong.
The second in the West is the Kings with 53 wins, the Kings are still the inside and outside combination of Harden and Cousins, this combination is obviously slightly inferior to the Lakers, Harden and Butler in the confrontation, the offensive ability has the absolute upper hand, but Butler's tough defense can save a lot of points.
And in the direct confrontation between Hao Peng and Cousins, it is completely crushed.
In the four games of the regular season between the two teams, Hao Peng averaged 31 points, 16 rebounds, 4 blocks and 4 assists per game, while Cousins only had 16 points and 7 rebounds.
After Cousins reached the finals with the Kings last season, he had a tendency to replace Howard as the league's No. 1 center because of his excellent record and personal data.
Although as a Chinese, Hao Peng's popularity in the NBA is not hot, but his strength is already recognized as the league's No. 1 center.
Don't look at this is just the first season of Hao Peng's NBA career, don't forget that in the Olympic Games that just ended, it was because Hao Peng broke the inside line that the Chinese men's basketball team defeated the American men's basketball team and broke the dominance of the dream team in the Olympic Games!
The teams ranked third through eighth in the Western Conference regular season are the Clippers, Spurs, Thunder, Grizzlies, Jazz, and Nuggets.
As the dust settles on the regular season results, the statistics are also finalized.
The first thing to say is Thunder superstar Russell. Westbrook, in this time and space, the Thunder did not get Durant, but the Turtle still embarked on the road of no return.
This season, he frantically brushed all kinds of statistics, averaging 31.2 points, 10.4 assists and 10.2 rebounds per game, and his personal data shocked the entire league, and Westbrook's status in the NBA immediately rose, becoming a top point guard alongside Curry, Jeremy Lin, and Paul.
Underneath Westbrook is Harden, who won the scoring title, and Harden's personal data this season also exploded, averaging 34.7 points per game is the highest score in the NBA scoring list in recent years, second only to Kobe's 35.4 points in the 05-06 season! And at the same time, there are 9.4 assists, and it can be said that the Kings can rank second in the West, and Harden has contributed a lot.
The first and second players in the scoring list are Harden and Westbrook, and the third player is something that no one expected before the start of the regular season.
Isaiah. Thomas, another Wang Xiao player, when he was in the Wizards, Thomas Jr. was also a bench bandit, although his playing time was limited, but every time he appeared, he could surprise people.
After leaving the Wizards, Thomas Jr. moved around several teams, always neglected because of his height, until he joined the Boston Celtics in the second half of last season, which determined the tactical system with him as the core.
Under the tactical system of Celtics head coach Stevenson, Thomas Jr. is simply like a fish in water, showing extremely strong aggression at the beginning of the new season, and in 82 games in the regular season, he can average 29.4 points and 5.9 assists per game, becoming the first person under 1.8 meters but can average 29 points per game.
The nickname of 1.75 meters, the strongest on the surface, once again fell on the head of little Thomas.
Next in fourth place on the scoring list is Hao Peng, who averaged 28.9 points per game in the regular season, while also having 15.7 rebounds and 3.6 blocks.
Hao Peng's existence makes the NBA seem to return to the period when the big shark O'Neal dominated the league, Hao Peng's scoring explosiveness is not inferior to O'Neal, and the defensive end is stronger than O'Neal, if the two are directly opposed, with the weight advantage, O'Neal can easily beat Hao Peng.
In fact, David Robinson has played against O'Neal many times in his career, and he has been beaten badly, no way, O'Neal's existence was completely BUG at the time, and such a huge weight is in an absolute advantage no matter which center he plays against.
However, in this league, which is dominated by small balls, Hao Peng will become the better one.
On this season's scoring list, both the Bucks and the Wizards players seem to be a little low-key.
Durant, who has won multiple scoring titles, Curry only averages about 25 points per game, ranking seventh or eighth on the scoring list.
It's not that their scoring ability has become weaker, it's that the team is too strong!
As the only team in the league to win more than 60 games, both the Bucks and the Wizards have at least three players scoring more than 20+ points.
On the Wizards' side, Curry scored 25.7 points, Leonard 24.9 points and George 22.3 points.
On the Bucks' side, Durant scored 26.1 points, Antetokounmpo 25.3 points, and Thompson 20.5 points.
With such an average score, one can't help but shudder.
The strength of a team cannot be measured by how high a player's individual score is, basketball is a game of five players, if five players play very well, how can you not win the game?
……
The Bucks' opponent in the first round of the playoffs is the Indiana Pacers, who are ranked eighth in the West.
It was a game without any suspense, and almost everyone thought that the Bucks would easily sweep the Pacers, and that was indeed the case.
In each of the four games, the suspense was lost in the third quarter, the Pacers were completely unable to form an effective defense in the face of the Bucks' offense, Antetokounmpo broke through the interior almost wanted, and the projection of Durant and Thompson was as stable as ever.
In four games, with a crisp 4:0, the Bucks successfully advanced to the second round.
The script in the east for the past few years has been exactly the same.
The Bucks, Wizards, Cavaliers, and Nets occupy the top four in the East all year round, and they can all enter the second round smoothly, and then the Wizards Cavaliers are happy to see, and the Bucks beat the Nets every day.
Jeremy Lin was a little helpless.
He won the assist king again this year, and once again achieved 20+10 double-double data, there is no suspense in being selected for the best team and the best defense, it can be said that it is perfect, but the only flaw is the record in the playoffs.
Jeremy Lin has made a name for himself since he entered the league, and he has the potential to compete with Jeremy Lin and Paul, but even Paul has broken through the curse of the Western Conference floor and successfully reached the Finals, while he has never made it to the Eastern Conference Finals.
In fact, this is not to blame Jeremy Lin, even Nets fans often comfort Jeremy Lin, no way, what can I do if I am unlucky?
There are two big bosses of the Heat Wizards in front of the East, and there are three big bosses of the Bucks Wizards and Cavaliers in the back, and each team is a big three start, so how does Jeremy Lin play? Not to mention Jeremy Lin, who is positioned as a traditional point guard, even if Jordan comes, he has to scold his mother!
