No matter how much of a buzz the trade makes, the regular season game will continue.

In a few games at the end of February, the Wizards continued to maintain a high winning rate, leading the record list with an absolute lead as always.

And under the Wizards, several teams in the East have launched fierce battles.

Because of the loss to the Wizards in direct competition, the Bulls increased their losses by one game, and they were only one win ahead of the Heat.

At the beginning of the new season, the run-in of the Big Three of the Heat team did not seem particularly good, but as the schedule progressed, the Big Three have become more and more tacit, and the winning rate of the subsequent games is also rising in a straight line, and the victory is guaranteed against most teams, so the victory has gradually begun to catch up.

The Celtics, who are fourth in the East, are close to the Heat and Bulls in terms of record, but they are nearly six wins ahead of the Magic, who are fifth in the East.

From fourth in the East to the fifth, fifth to eighth in the East, respectively, the Magic, Hawks, Nets and Knicks, these four teams have extremely close records, and the eighth-ranked Knicks are only two wins away from the fifth-ranked Magic.

All four teams are chasing each other, frantically trying to overtake each other and climb to higher positions.

However, the Magic is a traditional giant after all, even if the level of outside players has declined further this season, but relying on Howard's super performance of averaging 23 points, 14 rebounds and 2.4 blocks per game, the Magic team began to gradually stabilize the rhythm in the second half of the schedule, and a wave of five consecutive wins directly opened the gap with the other three teams.

And the Hawks and the Nets are also chasing each other, and the competition is extremely fierce.

On the contrary, the Big Three of the New York Knicks, who people are looking forward to, performed poorly after completing the trade on the trade deadline.

The Knicks are facing a very real problem, the distribution of the ball.

As a traditional pick-and-roll point guard, Delon needs the ball to play as well as he should.

When Anthony was in the Nuggets, he was basically the core of the offense with the ball, and when the two were on the court at the same time, there would naturally be a problem with the distribution of the ball.

This is only a minor problem, after all, Anthony and Iverson have also partnered, and as a defender, Iverson is no less than DeLong in possession of the ball.

The problem is that the Knicks still have a Stoudemire.

Compared with Anthony and Delong, who joined halfway, there is naturally a sense of superiority.

In addition, the head coach of the Knicks is still D'Anthony, who Stoudemire has followed since the Suns, which makes Stoudemire feel that he is the boss of the team, and Anthony and Delon are here to assist him.

In this case, when he watched Delon and Anthony play separately on the inside, and did not take him to play, the dissatisfaction immediately spread.

In the first game of the Big Three, Stoudemire's shooting tally plummeted, making just 12 shots, hitting five of them, and scoring a total of 15 points from the free throws.

After the game, Stoudemire was clearly unhappy in his press conference.

But as a power forward, an interior player, how many times you can touch the ball in a game still depends on the face of the outside player.

All the historical Big Three combinations, including the Celtics Big Three, the Heat Big Three, and the Cavaliers Big Three with James returning to the Cavaliers, once the Big Three are formed, the most affected data are interior players.

The season before Garnett joined the Celtics, he averaged 22.4 points, 12.8 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game for the Timberwolves, but in his first season with the Celtics, his average dropped to 18.8 points, 9.2 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game.

Bosh averaged 24 points and 10.8 rebounds per game the season before he left for the Heat, and immediately after arriving with the Heat, his stats dropped to 18.7 points and 8.3 rebounds.

Kevin. The same is true for Love, who averaged 26 points and 12.5 rebounds per game for the Timberwolves before joining the Cavaliers, but after going to the Cavaliers, he averaged 16.4 points and 9.7 rebounds per game.

Stoudemire doesn't know about the big data, and even if he does, he won't accept that the New York Knicks' problems are bound to continue for a long time.

……

The battle of the Knicks has nothing to do with Wang Xiao and his Wizards.

February passed, March arrived, and for the Wizards, there were only 22 games left in the regular season.

In the previous 60 games, the Wizards won a 50-10 record, becoming the first team in the league to win 50 games this season, and locked up the playoff spot early.

And the next 22 games, for the Wizards, there is a new goal.

"Make history!"

These are the words written on a banner held up by Wizards fans during the game in early March.

Since joining the league in 1961, the Wizards have gone through nearly 50 years until 2011.

In the past five decades, the Wizards' best regular season record in history was 60-22 in the 1974-1975 season.

And this year, the Wizards, who have won 50-10 in 60 games, have a great probability of breaking the Wizards' historical record, with a single-season record of more than 60 wins!

The only suspense is what the Wizards' record will be this season.

The current 50-10 Wizards have a win rate of 83.33%, and if this winning rate continues, the Wizards should eventually win 67 or 68 games, which is undoubtedly a fantastic record.

67 wins, in the NBA's all-time single-season winning record, is also an excellent record that can be ranked in the top 10, and as of 2011, the league has only nine single-season wins or more 67 wins.

The number one in the rankings is, of course, the invincible Bulls who went 72-10 in the 95-96 season.

The most recent one was the Dallas Mavericks' 67-15 record in the 06-07 season.

It is widely believed that the Wizards will struggle to maintain an 83% winning percentage in the next 22 regular season games, after all, as the regular season enters the final sprint stage, all teams will fight for the rankings, and this stage of the game is much more difficult than before.

What's more, in the next 22 games of the Wizards, 2 will be games against the old enemy Heat, and there will also be 2 games against the new Big Three Knicks, in addition, the Bulls, Spurs, Lakers and other strong teams will also become stumbling blocks in front of the Wizards.

ESPN's prediction for the Wizards' final record is around 62 to 65 wins.

This prediction is very pertinent and widely accepted by the vast majority of fans.

After all, even if it is only 62 wins, it can still break the best record in the history of the Wizards and retain the first place in the league, which is enough to satisfy them.

But Wang Xiao doesn't think so.

For most players and fans, the victory in the regular season may be just a manifestation of honor, but for him Wang Xiao, it is a real victory!

Between 67 wins and 62 wins, the difference is a full 1000 victory points! Are you kidding?
