Since Oladipo came to the Trail Blazers, he has gained the right to the outside core, which makes him feel like a fish in water, and his statistics have also risen, and his average data has risen to 21 points and 4.7 assists per game after the All-Star, and Middleton has also taken on the role of the outside far beyond the Bucks, and the statistics have also risen slightly, averaging 18.2 points per game, which is very stable. The playoffs may not be much to be done this season due to the team's lack of run-in, but the future of this team is bright and will not be devastated by the departure of star Durant.

In the West, from fifth to eighth place are the Thunder, Mavericks, Grizzlies and Jazz.

It is worth mentioning that the Lakers, although they got Butler, their team record was not ideal, and they only won 30-52 all season.

But every Lakers game has basically become Kobe Bryant's personal exhibition tour, and the greatest scoring guard since Jordan has been in full swing in the final season of his career, not only winning the All-Star vote, but also receiving applause from flowers everywhere he goes.

In the final game of the regular season, Kobe Bryant scored 60 points to make his career come to a perfect end, and the 38-year-old 60 points also shocked the league.

Bryant's retirement represents the end of an era, but it also represents the beginning of a new era.

It is rare for two players to average more than 30 points per game on the regular season scoring list at the same time.

Kevin. Durant averaged 31.2 points per game to top the scoring list, and James Harden was second on the scoring list with 30.5 points.

Durant's high score was mainly played when he was with the Trail Blazers, when the Trail Blazers only had Aldridge a strong scoring point besides Durant, which made Durant's average number of shots per game reach 22 at one time!

After coming to the Bucks, Durant's average number of shots per game decreased to about 17, but because Thompson, Brother Alphabet and others shared the offensive pressure, the shooting rate has improved, and the score has not dropped significantly.

……

It's rare for a league to have two players who average more than 30 points per game in a single season, and if you want to go back to the last time, it was a decade ago, in the 05-06 season.

There were three players who averaged 30+ points per game at the same time that season, namely Kobe Bryant with 35.4 points, Iverson with 33 points and James with 31.4 points.

It's not that the players at that time were more capable of scoring than they are now, but that basketball has become more and more mature with the development of the times, and it is difficult to make a difference on the court with a single star.

If you want to win the championship, the Big Three combination is just the standard, like the Bucks, Wizards and other teams, all of which have more than three stars with an average score of 20+ per game in the team at the same time.

Even in the Kings' Harden, there are players like Cousins on the team who share the ball.

The two 30+ points were followed by Curry's 28.9 points and Westbrook's 27.4 points.

And in fifth place on the scoring list is the alphabet brother Antetokounmpo, who no one expected.

He averaged 26.7 points, 10.7 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game throughout the season! The Bucks can lead the league, and he is indispensable!

Playing under Wang Xiao, almost everyone can see that Brother Alphabet has a bright future, but such a fast growth rate is still unexpected by many people, just looking at the performance of this season, Brother Alphabet is completely an MVP-level player!

James' 25.9, Lillard's 25.1, George's 24.8, Davis' 24.3 and Leonard's 23.5 are among the sixth to 10th on the scoring list.

In terms of rebounding, as always, it is still Drummond, Jordan Jr. and Whiteside dominate the top three, and even Howard can only settle for fourth.

In terms of assists, the competition has been fierce this season, with six players averaging double-doubles per game, with Jeremy Lin regaining the title of assist leader with 12.3 assists per game, Rondo averaging 11.7 assists per game in second place, Westbrook averaging 10.4 assists per game in third place, while Wall with 10.2 assists and Paul with 10 assists are close behind in fourth and fifth.

It is worth mentioning that although none of the Bucks players have averaged more than 7 assists per game this season, there are four players on the team who have averaged more than 4 assists per game, ranking third in the league in assists per game.

Antetokounmpo averaged 5.5 assists per game, Durant averaged 4.6 assists per game, Thompson averaged 4.2 assists per game, and Jokic averaged 6.1 assists per game!

……

The end of the regular season also means the start of the playoffs.

On April 13, the Bucks finished their final regular season game, and on April 17, the first round of the playoffs officially began.

The Bucks' opponent in the first round is the Detroit Pistons, which are ranked eighth in the East, that is, the team of Wang Xiao's disciple Wang Meng.

For this team, what impressed people the most was the Pistons Five Tigers who shattered the Lakers' dream of winning the Big Four in the 03-04 season and indirectly led to the parting of ways of the OK combination.

Of course, up to now, the Pistons five Tigers are all old, and the new Pistons team, the main core is the rebounding idiot Andre. Drummond, who averaged 16.6 points and 14.8 rebounds per game in the regular season, is not qualified as a leader of a team, but impeccable as a blue-collar rebounder.

The Pistons' starters were Reggie. Jackson, Tobias. Harris, Cardwell. Pope and Wang Meng, the third pick in the first round this year.

Relying on the defensive ability of this lineup, the Pistons defeated the Pacers and Magic and successfully entered the playoffs.

It's a pity that they will face Wang Xiao and his Bucks team in the first round.

Before the two teams even started the game, the media's game predictions were already one-sided, and almost everyone thought that the Bucks could easily beat or even sweep the Pistons outright.

The Pistons' defensive ability can only be regarded as mediocre, and it is obviously completely impossible to prevent the Bucks' sharp offense, and in the face of the Bucks' defense that is much better than them, they can't find a point that can break the deadlock on the offensive side.

The opening match between the two teams was a perfect example of how to deal with these problems.

Antetokounmpo was completely unstoppable on the offensive end, especially when Jokic also pulled out the interior and forced Drummond to follow away from the three-second zone, and there was really no one to stop him.

Wang Meng may be able to do it, but his main task in this game is to defend Durant, after all, how much of a threat Durant poses on the offensive end is a consensus across the league.

However, Wang Meng's defensive effect against Durant is not particularly good, and he is suitable for defending forwards like James, Antetokounmpo and Leonard, who use more physical impact on the inside, rather than players like Durant who are good at shooting.
