Chapter 341: The Regular Season Ends

With the Wizards losing to the Nets at home in the final game of the regular season, the Wizards' record was finally fixed at 73-9 in the 13-14 season, the same as the Warriors in the 15-16 season.

But the difference is that this Wizards team is undoubtedly much stronger than that Warriors.

You know, the Wizards' second-leading scorer and important defensive force Paul. George was injured midway through the season and missed most of the regular season.

However, if you compare the players of the same period, there are a few positions where the Warriors team is superior.

Take Curry, for example.

Although in a few years, relying on Wang Xiao's training module, Curry has grown to the peak of his career, but because of experience and awareness, compared with Curry Ritian in the 15-16 season, there is still a slight lack of it.

This season, Curry averaged 27.4 points, 4.2 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game, shooting 48.4% from the field and 44% from three-point range.

Wang Xiao understands that this is a subtle change brought about by different teams and different environments.

In the early days of the Warriors, Curry was the only scorer, and he was also the most reliable and trustworthy person, and whenever the team was in trouble, the coach and the players would think of Curry first.

But the Wizards are full of talent, and George and Leonard are both good at playing key shots, which also makes Curry accustomed to attracting firepower for his teammates at critical times and striving for maximum efficiency scoring.

This coincides with Curry 16 years later, when Durant came to the Warriors, although Curry's three-point shot was also very lethal, it did not have the nuclear bomb-like deterrent power of the previous two years, because at every critical moment, it was Durant who attacked with the ball instead of Curry......

It's hard to tell if this is the right choice, because one thing to say, Durant's offense is indeed more consistent than Curry's, which is vividly demonstrated by the two key three points in the Finals and two deaths to kill the Cavaliers' hopes of winning.

And now with the Wizards, it's the same thing.

George and Leonard also grow faster than another time and space with the training bonus of the training module, which also makes their offensive ability very good, and they can be relied on at critical moments.

Of course, such an idea only appeared in Wang Xiao's mind.

In the eyes of the outside world, Curry's performance this season has been perfect, and he is the biggest contributor to the Wizards' 73 wins.

Because of this, Curry is also in the top three in the regular season MVP rankings all year round, and has a great chance of beating James to win the regular season MVP trophy for the third time in his career.

If Curry can do that, he will become only the second point guard in history to win three regular-season MVP trophies, and his place in history will be on par with that of the Magic. Johnson.

……

The regular season is officially over, which means that the major honor lists are determined.

In the scoring list, Durant regained the scoring crown with 32 points, Kings guard Harden ranked second with 28.7 points, and Anthony ranked third with 27.6 points.

Curry was only in fourth place because he was 0.2 points below Anthony's points per game, and below him was James with 27 points.

In the rebounding list, the former center of the Wizards, Whiteside, who was the main center of the Heat at the time, became the rebounding king with 14.3 rebounds, Jordan Jr., who was traded to the Knicks in the middle of the season, averaged 13.6 rebounds per game and ranked second, and the third was the center of the Thunder, Wang Xiao's disciple Dunn in Harvard University, he averaged 13.2 rebounds per game this season.

On the assist list, Jeremy Lin has dominated the list for the third consecutive year, ranking first with an average of 11.3 assists per game, followed by Paul's 10.7 assists, and only these two have double-doubles per game in the entire assist list.

The competition for blocks is fierce, with Whiteside averaging 3.7 blocks per game, followed by Dunn with 3.5 blocks, followed by Anthony Davis, who averages 2.8 blocks per game, and Serge Ibaka.

……

More than these personal data, the major teams are more concerned about the final record standings of the regular season.

On the Eastern side, the Washington Wizards won the top spot in the East with a 73-9 record.

Followed by the 61-21 Cleveland Cavaliers, the combination of the Big Four is slightly worse than the record is a little worse, but 61 wins is enough to be considered a passing answer, after all, the Heat Big Three just formed the first season, only 58 wins, and last season the Lakers' Big Four almost missed the playoffs.

In third place is the Nets, who have won 50-32.

From here, the battle record formed a feng shui period.

The Bulls with 48 wins are fourth, the Knicks with 44 wins are fifth, the Pacers with 42 wins are sixth, the Heat with 41 wins are seventh, and the eighth place in the East is with the Hawks.

The records of the Eastern teams are generally extremely poor, on the one hand, because of the perennial pattern of strong West and weak East, and on the other hand, because they sadly met the Wizards with 73 wins.

As an Eastern Conference team, each team will meet the Wizards four times in the regular season, which is basically four games that are guaranteed to be won, compared to the only two times that Western teams have encountered the Wizards in a season, so they are naturally better at winning.

At the top of the Western Conference is the Portland Trail Blazers, with a 62-20 record, which is also the second best in the league, followed by the Spurs, who are second in second place with 58 wins.

The Clippers are third with 55 wins, and fourth is the Grizzlies with 50 wins.

Fifth in the West is the Kings with 51 wins, Harden and Cousins have finally shown good strength after three seasons of running-in, with Harden averaging 28 points per game, Cousins can also score 22 points, and the two have combined for 50 points, although the defense has been criticized, but it does not prevent them from competing for a place in the Western Conference playoffs.

In sixth place is the Thunder with 49 wins.

Evans is still the same as another time and space, Wang Erxiao's New Year is not as good as a year, but Westbrook is becoming more and more powerful year by year, scoring an average of 25.8 points per game this season second only to Curry, and Dunn has also built an impregnable wall on the Thunder's inside, which also makes the Thunder finally stumble and start to get on the right track after the wrong selection of Oden and Evans (it should have been Durant, Harden).

The seventh and eighth in the West are the Mavericks with 47 wins and the Suns with 45 wins.

These teams are all the teams in the top eight in the East and West in the 13-14 season, and they are also the participants in the subsequent playoff championship competition.
