Chapter 178: Final Standings of the Regular Season

68-14!

This is something that no one expected.

Previously, most people didn't look at the Curiosity team's final 67 wins in the season, but now, the Wizards overfulfilled the task and won 68 wins in one fell swoop!

It's just a game away, but don't underestimate this one.

You know, in the current history of the NBA, there are only 5 teams that have won 68 games or more.

The teams with 68 wins were the Boston Celtics in 1972-73 and the Philadelphia 76ers in 1966-67.

The 69-win team was Jordan's Chicago Bulls in 1996-97 and the Los Angeles Lakers in 1971-72 with a crazy 33-game winning streak.

There was also the 72-win winning Jordan and his Bulls, who shocked the league at the time.

Now, the Washington Wizards have joined the 68-win club in a single season and become a part of history!

When the Wizards' final game, the final minutes against the Atlanta Hawks, the entire Washington crowd was almost crazy.

Although the game is still a few minutes away, with the Wizards already leading by 20 points, victory is no longer in doubt.

"68 wins! We are the champions! ”

As the whistle blew for the end of the game, the Wizards' home court was plunged into a sea of celebration, and at the same time, two flags that had been prepared for a long time were raised above the arena.

That's the regular season division champion flag and the division championship flag!

There are no trophies in the regular season, but the champions of each region have a championship flag, and the vast majority of teams will choose to hang it above the arena after winning the regional championship flag, because even the division and division champions in the regular season are also rare results.

Of the 30 teams in the entire league, there are only two teams that won't fly the regular season championship flag in the arena – the Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers.

Both teams have NBA championship flags hanging in their arenas.

The Celtics have 17 championships in history, and the Lakers have won 16 championships in history, and these two teams have won more championships than many teams have won the regular season championships!

Of course, comparing the Celtics to the Lakers is too bullying for other teams.

However, the current Wizards have a record that can be equal to these two giants, with a record of 68 wins in the regular season in a single season!

The 68 wins are the highest in Celtics history, and the Lakers' all-time high of 69 wins is only one win higher than the Wizards.

For fans of the Washington Wizards, a 68-14 record in the regular season alone is enough to brag about for a long time, regardless of the playoffs.

……

With the Wizards winning 68-14, the NBA's 10-11 regular season schedule has also come to an end, and the Eastern and Western rankings have also been determined.

The Wizards are 68-14 and the league, and they are the first in the East.

In second place in the East, is the Bulls with a 60-22 record, which is also a new army, the Bulls' performance this season is perfect, especially on the defensive end, which makes almost all teams in the entire league feel very uncomfortable, but unfortunately the emergence of the Wizards has dimmed the Predator led by Ross a lot.

Below the Bulls, the Miami Heat, who are in third place in the East with 56 wins and 26 losses.

At the beginning of the Big Three, the Heat had ambitions to dominate the league, but the cruelty of reality caught them by surprise.

The league is nowhere near to the point of being dominated by them, and a 56-win record might be a successful season for the average team, but it's a little more ugly for the trio of James, Wade and Bosh combined.

There are no fewer voices in the league attacking the Heat's Big Three than they are attacking Wang Xiao and the Wizards.

"Last summer, in order to win the championship, three young people ran together to report to the team to keep warm, but unfortunately they don't seem to have the consciousness to make sacrifices to win the championship, and even now, we still can't tell who is the boss of this team."

"What's even more ridiculous is that the Heat team was swept by the Wizards in the regular season, and under the ridicule of the opposing head coach, they couldn't win even a game, and they were disgraced!"

"I'm afraid a lot of people are looking forward to what kind of performance the Heat can have in the playoffs, and what kind of situation it will be like if they fail to win the championship as they wish......

……

Under the Heat, in fourth place in the East, is the old powerhouse, the Boston Celtics.

The combination of the old Big Three + Rondo + Big and Small O'Neal can rank fourth in the East with a record of 55 wins and 27 losses, and everyone knows that Garnett and others are playing in the regular season, and the playoffs are the time for these old guys to get serious.

In fifth place in the East is the Orlando Magic.

Compared to last season, the Magic's performance this season was really underwhelming, with a barely 50-32 record in the regular season.

Although Howard is still playing well, averaging 23 points and 14 rebounds per game with a double-double of data to sit in the league's No. 1 center, the Magic's outside lineup is too rubbish, and many people say that in fact, the Magic team should find a way to get Curry from the Wizards, and Curry will be the most suitable point guard for Howard.

But this is impossible, Curry is not for sale by the Wizards, and Wang Xiao, who has the power to make trade decisions, will definitely not trade Curry.

The top five teams in the East all scored 50 wins and entered the playoffs without any suspense.

Starting in sixth place in the East, four teams battled like beasts in the Colosseum at the end of the regular season.

The four teams are the Atlanta Hawks, New Jersey Nets, Philadelphia 76ers and New York Knicks.

The four teams have similar records, with only two wins separating sixth and ninth, and one of the four teams will need to be eliminated if they want to make the playoffs.

After a brutal end-of-season battle, the Hawks, Nets and Knicks came out on top, while the 76ers could only finish ninth in the East.

The Hawks, Nets, and Knicks ended up with regular season records of 42-40, 41-41 for the Nets, and 41-41 for the Knicks, respectively.

Due to the division and win-loss relationship, the Nets are seventh in the East, while the Knicks are eighth in the East.

Such a result was unexpected.

Anthony, the triumvirate of Stoudemire + Delon, was only ranked eighth in the regular season? And almost squeezed out of the playoff spot by the 76ers?

Of course, there are also Knicks fans who are happy with such a result.

The eighth place in the East faces the first place in the East in the playoffs, which is the Washington Wizards.

Compared to the second-ranked Bulls and the third-ranked Heat, it seems that the Wizards are the best opponents to deal with in theory.
