After nine games from last night's penultimate game day, the Eastern and Western playoff standings are out.

In the East, the Bulls, Heat, Pacers, 76ers, Raptors, Nets, Knicks, and Hawks are in the top eight in the East and advance to the playoffs.

The 41-win Wizards became the saddest team in the East.

On the Western side, the Spurs won the regular season championship with a record of 63-19, which no one really expected before the All-Star Weekend, mainly because no one expected the Pacers to play a 10-19 record after the All-Star Weekend, and the Lakers with 61 wins won the second place, and the Trail Blazers, Grizzlies, Warriors, Thunder, Mavericks, and Jazz ranked third to eighth respectively and entered the playoffs.

The sad Pelicans finished with a 50-32 record and missed the playoffs.

But the performance of the double champion is really good, to be talented and talented, to be able to realize the ability to become strong, and this season the two have few injuries, both have played more than 75 games, and the ability of the two is reflected at once.

It's just that the two of them are very sad to be in the West, and in the end they couldn't beat the Jazz team led by Thibodeau and Jimmy Butler.

After the rankings are determined, the major lists are almost determined.

The scoring champion, Sun Ce, because Durant "only" scored 44 points in the last game, the average score per game just increased to 34 points.

Because Sun Ce has not lost a game this season, it is difficult for him to increase his average points per game, and in the last game, he has to score 9 points more than the average points per game to ensure an increase of 0.1 points, but on the contrary, it is not so easy to drop the average points per game, unless Sun Ce only scores less than 5 points in the Grizzlies' curtain call, otherwise the score is still Sun Ce's, that is, there is no suspense.

The rebounding king, Jordan Jr. averaged 15.7 boards per game, beating Drummond's average of 15.4 boards per game and won the rebounding king.

In terms of assist kings, Westbrook, who averaged 11.7 assists per game, beat Paul, who averaged 11.4 assists per game, to win the assist king.

In the steal list, Paul averaged 2.6 steals per game and beat Paul George, who averaged 2.5 steals per game, to win the steal king.

Cap King ...... Sun Ce has dominated four times in a row! Even if Sun Ce had 0 blocks in the last game, he couldn't shake it!

In addition, there are other award predictions, MVP this has been locked in last month, and the Crazy March Lords show has even overshadowed the NCAA limelight, and there is no suspense.

Just like James, who won 30 consecutive games last season, would have been sprayed to death if he didn't win the MVP league, Sun Ce would not win the MVP this year, and the league itself would vomit blood, and David Stern would probably take a few strong men to knock on the doors of those voters in the middle of the night.

However, other awards are worth discussing.

In terms of the best defensive player, ESPN predicts that Noah, Ibaka, Chandler, Paul George, Tabitt, Anthony Davis and ...... Duncan, the seven men who became the favorites for the best defensive player.

Among them, Ibaka, Paul George, Thabit, and Anthony Davis are at a disadvantage due to their records, and Noah, Chandler, and Duncan have the highest probability.

When Sun Ce saw this prediction, he was speechless, how could there be Duncan again?

Then take a closer look, Duncan's numbers have risen instead of falling after the All-Star Weekend! Averaged 15.4 points, 10.2 rebounds, 3 assists, 2.2 blocks, and 0.6 steals per game! And the turnovers and fouls, it was a terrible 2.1 turnovers and 1.8 fouls.

Defensive efficiency, Duncan ranks second in the league behind LeBron James!

And the reason why James is not the favorite for the best defensive player is because James is simply defensive efficient this year, Leonard is the defensive arrow on the outside, and the inside is the inside defensive arrow, and the tandem defensive role, James can't be compared with Sun Ce and Ibaka, he uses his personal ability more to defend.

This season, James has actually seen a relatively large decline on the defensive end, mainly because he has invested less energy on the defensive end and more energy on scoring and passing.

No way, in a rich and wealthy family, James doesn't need to do so much work.

There are also the Best Sixth Man and the Most Improved Award.

It's just that on the afternoon of the 17th, no one is discussing these things at all, and the attention of the media and fans is all focused on the curtain call game between the Grizzlies and the Mavericks!

……

At 6:40 p.m., after giving pre-match interviews, the players of both teams entered the court.

Nowitzki wore a suit and chatted with Sun Ce, who had taken off his training uniform, without delaying Sun Ce's preparation for the game.

Looking at Sun Ce, who was going to shoot hot shots, Nowitzki was very emotional, it was too exaggerated for this guy, there was a feeling of being ahead of their times!

When Sun Ce won the MVP in his second year, Nowitzki already felt that Sun Ce's future was limitless, but he didn't expect Sun Ce to play such a performance.

Even after Sun Ce was a two-time MVP and two consecutive championships last season, Nowitzki never imagined that Sun Ce would be able to play like this season.

The changes in Sun Ce this year can be described in the words that Nowitzki learned from Yao Ming - one step to the sky!

And Sun Ce is only 24 and a half years old......

And in this era, Nowitzki really can't imagine that there is Conley, him, and Bosh, and they are only ranked seventh in the West!

Judging from the top eight in the West this season, Nowitzki feels that at least this season is the most brutal in the West in his career.

The first to sixth places are too strong!

Nowitzki rested for tonight's game, mainly because he has locked up seventh in the West, there is no need to continue playing, and he was originally a substitute, and he is expected to win the best sixth man this year...... And it's a high probability, because he pressed Bosh as a substitute and was selected as an All-Star.

At this moment, Nowitzki is ready to be a fan and see if Sun Ce can continue to make history after Westbrook.

There are many celebrities who came to watch the game tonight, and after the Warriors lost to the Thunder last night, they flew directly to Memphis early this morning to prepare for the playoffs starting on the 21st.

When the rankings were determined, the NBA officially announced the playoff schedule last night, and the first game of the series between the Grizzlies and the Warriors will start at 8 p.m. on the 21st.

Several Warriors players came to watch the game today, as well as local politicians in Tennessee, some show business people who like basketball and want to see the big scene with their own eyes, and even the president of the United States updated Twitter, posted a few photos, signed his finished work, drinks and nuts TV...... The caption reads, "I'm ready."

This can be seen as the president of the US imperialists ready to watch the game, but it can also be interpreted as a tribute to what Sun Ce once said - every night I will not say that I am not ready.

In addition to these people, there are also some players who are ready to rub the heat, trust their relationship or spend money to get tickets in the front row, and come to the scene to rub the camera.

Bosh looked at the scene, and he found that there was something wrong with his cognition, this is still the same Meng Village?

Sun Ce single-handedly turned the big rural village of Memphis into the spotlight!

Whatever, rub the heat first.

On the other side, after Sun Ce and Nowitzki, Conley, Carter, Ellis and others greeted him, the Grizzlies made an exception before the game to let him be interviewed, and when asked about whether he would hit 18 assists tonight, Sun Ce did not deny it, and said bluntly: "I remember that I am the playoff assist record holder, and there are still 3 in the regular season, I don't remember very clearly, I seem to have scored 27 assists in the regular season?" I don't like to try records that much, but they always come at me...... I'll go! ”

Sun Ce was finally so frightened that the Chinese rushed out, and a head sticked out next to him, like the shape of a big snake pill!

If you look closely, it is Bosh, this long-necked dragon put his head next to Sun Ce's head without touching Sun Ce's shoulder and chest......

Seeing that Sun Ce was frightened, Bosh cut his hair, turned around and left......

Sun Ce thought of James's funny comparison, looked at Bosh who was a little mentally retarded in front of him, and sympathized with Wade, in the previous three years, what kind of dire environment was Wade in?

I heard that a certain No.24 player in Los Angeles was about to be driven crazy by his best teammate since O'Neal.

Running to his house every day to rub WiFi, who can stand it!

Kobe Bryant wanted to learn to play LOL and was stunned by his best teammates, which caused the delay to soar from time to time.

……

At 6:58 p.m., I greeted my opponents, greeted public figures, and gave interviews before the game...... After a series of things, Sun Ce put on his equipment and prepared to play.

Livingston, Tony Allen, Paul George, and Prince of the Grizzlies were rested tonight, and Gobert was on the activation list.

Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Hardaway Jr., Richard Jefferson, and Yi Jianlian appeared in the starting lineup.

Aside from the four people who are resting in rotation and Gobert, the players in other shopping malls of the Grizzlies are either catch-and-eat cake types or pitchers, Yi Jianlian and Hardaway Jr. have the ability to play alone, but unless they have to do so, such as Yi Jianlian grabbing a three-stick offensive rebound and no passing time, they will definitely not play alone.

Beverley, Richard Jefferson, Amir Johnson, Larry Sanders, and Whiteside on the bench are all players who eat cakes and catch shots as their main means of scoring.

The purpose of this rotation is very clear.

Coach Hollins didn't say it, but told Sun Ce with practical actions - Coach I'm ready, you let it go!

On the Mavericks' side, the starting lineup of Conley, Ellis, Marion, Bosh, and Hellam Porter came on.

Sun Ce really thinks that in addition to Nowitzki's age, the Mavericks are really strong!

In the first three meetings this season, the Mavericks have beaten them, and they have their own reasons, but the Mavericks can take their chances, and that is the strength of the Mavericks.

In addition to Nowitzki, the Mavericks bench includes Carter, Calderon, Harris, Blair, Ellington, Brandon White......

Tonight's 6th man scoring champion and Mavericks' all-team scoring leader, Nowitzki, who averaged 20 points per game, is good news for their Grizzlies.

At 7 p.m., the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game on time and threw the ball into the air, and in the cheers of the fans, Yi Jianlian beat Delham Porter to win the jump ball.

Sun Ce received the ball and quickly advanced to the front court, crossed the middle line to increase the speed to the fastest, and went straight to the opponent's three-point line!

It's been a long time since I've played like this, Sun Ce is still a little excited, the Mavericks' overall defense is very good, not the top few in the league, but each player's defensive enthusiasm and execution are very good, Marion and Bosh blocked Sun Ce on the left side of the three-second zone, and cut off Sun Ce's hanging basket to Yi Jianlian's empty catch, and Delham Porter also followed Richard Jefferson.

Very nice defense.

However, Yi Jianlian judged sharply and did not cut inside, but ran out at the free throw line distance to help Klay Thompson block Conley, and Klay Thompson ran to the right sideline!

Sun Ce made a long pass, and Klay Thompson received the ball and shot a three-point shot...... Hit!

At the beginning of the game, the Grizzlies played the Mavericks with an unstable foothold, and Sun Ce received an assist.

Looking back, Ellis started the offensive state well, teammates pulled away, Ellis broke under the basket and hit a layup on Sun Ce and Yi Jianlian.

It is known as the second strongest waist under Kobe, and the name is well deserved! Ellis folded like a twist in the air.

Win must be that both sides want to win this game very much, so there will be no retention, just that for both teams, this game does not matter for the rankings, and it does not affect the regular season win-loss advantage of the two teams, so both sides have a very important player rotation for the playoffs.

But the players on the court must want to win, and they must fight, and the Mavericks want to be the first team to sweep the Grizzlies in the regular season since Sun Ce joined the Grizzlies five years ago.

The Grizzlies, for their part, naturally don't want a team to sweep them.

Sun Ce didn't start the wave from the first ball, but after trying Klay Thompson's touch, he was ready to make waves!

It's not about scoring, it's about passing!

In the process of advancing, Sun Ce took a quick look at the prop space.

"Special Card: Passes in the Sewers (3)."

Since Durant's comeback game, Sun Ce has completed the "Challenger from the Sewer" event of the bully series, and when he played against Westbrook, Sun Ce got a triple-double, and if Westbrook got a triple-double, Sun Ce's triple-double and three statistics added up to be higher than Westbrook.

When he arrived at the front court, Sun Ce's heart moved-my old grandson came to the sewer!

"The host uses a special card: the passer of the sewers."

"Sewer Passer (*): The host passes the ball for the next 10 times, and when a teammate catches the ball, the desire to shoot is great, and if he catches and shoots in an open position, he will enter a hot state."

Although the effect of this card has the effect of a hot shot in the vacant position, Sun Ce also has to give it a try, because when the pass is passed, the desire to shoot will rise when the teammate receives the ball, and if the opponent makes up for the defense quickly, it will not be considered an empty position.

When Ellis suddenly went to the basket and was sandwiched by Sun Ce and Yi Jianlian, Dale Porter and Bosh retreated directly, because there was no passing opportunity at that angle, and the two brothers couldn't grab the rebound, and they couldn't grab the rebound, and the hard steel on the front couldn't grab that.

So the Mavericks retreated early to put their defenses in place, and Sun Ce fell into a positional battle, signaling Yi Jianlian and Richard Jefferson to be ready to rush, and then play blocking and dismantling with Klay Thompson!

Klay Thompson came up to block Marion, Sun Ce took advantage of the block and pulled horizontally, all the way to the right 45-degree angle to open the space, seeing Sun Ce rushing to the sideline, Conley didn't want to catch up with Sun Ce, Sun Ce pulled away and jumped, split Klay Thompson on the left side of the top arc of the ball, Marion was just about to hit Sun Ce, but didn't follow, and quickly returned to Klay Thompson.

At this time, Ellis on the left touchline also let go of Hardaway Jr. and pounced on Klay Thompson.

But Klay Thompson received the ball and was ready to catch and shoot, and he was fearless in the face of the two pounces, and he suddenly had the urge to "Lao Tzu just wants to shoot" in his heart, and he shot at the three-point shot of the two pounces......

From receiving the ball to shooting, Klay Thompson's movements are very smooth, although because of Marion's arm span Klay Thompson jumped back and leaned back, but he hit the first shot in the opening game today and hit a three-point shot against two people!

The fans at the scene felt that Klay Thompson's goal was a bit lonely, and Hardaway Jr. was empty, but someone else scored! Just cheer!

Fans take this as Klay Thompson wanting to help Sun Ce get more assists!

Naturally, the Mavericks think so.

But in fact, what Klay Thompson decided to do at the beginning was to play normally, he played normally, and maintaining the threat of points and shots was the biggest help for Sun Ce to organize the offense.

But at that time, he just couldn't help but vote......

In the eyes of fans and Mavericks players, Klay Thompson's ball represents a signal that the Grizzlies are about to start spurting.

Because, next on the Grizzlies' side, whoever catches the ball will throw it!

In the first half of the first quarter, Sun Ce passed the ball 12 times, except for Klay Thompson's open shot at the beginning, and the next 10 passes, whether it was Klay Thompson or Hardaway Jr., Yi Jianlian or Richard Jefferson, were all thrown when they received the ball.

Generally speaking, a team's pitcher who makes a good shot will create a catch-and-shoot opportunity around that player or use his threat to create an opportunity for another player.

The Grizzlies have done the same before, using the Splash Brothers' three-point threat to create cut-and-go shots for teammates.

But tonight is different, tonight the Grizzlies are Sun Ce to whoever passes the ball, and whoever catches the ball will throw it.

In the 6th minute and 12 seconds of the first quarter, after Sun Ce made 12 passes and received a dunk from Richard Jefferson to score two points, the Mavericks called a timeout!

Except for a counterattack dunk from his own and a Klay Thompson three-point shot, he Sun triggered a "splash" and missed a three-point shot, and Sun Ce passed the rest of the offensive rounds, including an offensive rebound that Yi Jianlian grabbed.

The Mavericks pressed the tempo well today, and almost all teams pressed the tempo against the Grizzlies, the league's strongest offensive combination, including the Spurs.

But Sun Ce got 7 assists in 6 minutes and 12 seconds in the not fast rhythm of the positional battle!

With 2 points, 2 boards, 7 assists and 1 steal, Sun Ce helped the team start 20-16!

Seeing that the point difference was about to be stretched to more than 5 points, Carlisle quickly called a timeout.

He knew that Sun Ce would definitely choose to average a triple-double tonight, but the Grizzlies were crazy, right?
