On April 15, 2009, the last day of the NBA, the world-renowned battle between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Miami Heat finally came to an end.

The Seattle SuperSonics, who were ultimately considered to have a more than 97% chance of losing, won the crucial game by beating the Miami Heat on the road.

Through the victory of this key game, the Seattle SuperSonics also successfully squeezed out the Houston Rockets, who ranked first in the regular season last season, and entered the playoffs!

At the same time, the conversation created by the game between the SuperSonics and the Heat did not end with the end of this game.

This game is a miracle of five doubles + lore.

In this game, James's miraculous loyalty to Yes was impressive.

And at the end of this game, Wade, who has always supported James, finally broke with James.

All of this makes this game a lot of buzz!

And it's the kind of topic that will probably go on forever.

Of course, for this game between the SuperSonics and the Heat, no matter how hot it is, it is also an ordinary regular season game.

And on April 15, the NBA doesn't just have one regular season.

On the last day of the regular season this season, the NBA's key regular season games are not just the SuperSonics and the Heat.

For example, the Timberwolves, who are sixth in the West, and the Suns, who are seventh in the West, also played a game, and in the end, the Suns defeated the Timberwolves and held their seventh position in the West.

At the same time, in the playoff battle for sixth place in the East, the 76ers faced O'Neal's rested Cavaliers on the road, and defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 111-110 in an overtime.

As long as the other side of the Pacers and the Bulls play and the Bulls lose, the 76ers will become sixth in the East.

But unfortunately, in the game between the Bulls and the Pacers on the other side, the Bulls also beat the opponent 109-108 at home, and Rose beat the Pacers with a three-pointer, and finally the Bulls retained their sixth position in the East.

At this point, all the East and West rankings for the entire NBA 2008-2009 season have also been released.

In the East, although the Cleveland Cavaliers suffered a betrayal from James this season, under the leadership of O'Neal and with the help of star players such as David Lee, Richard Jefferson, Deron Williams and Daniel Gibson, the Cavaliers played a historic record in this year's regular season.

This season, the 67-15 Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Spurs, who are the first in the West, and the Heat, who finished 27 games and 26 wins in the East, to win the first place in the East and the first place in the league.

This season, O'Neal's strength and the Cavaliers' five starters all scored more than 20 per game, and the performance of the Cavaliers after losing James even shouted 'Who is James!' when the Cavaliers' last game started. 'slogan.

O'Neal and his new Cavaliers have completely turned Cleveland into a new country of their own, and it only took one season.

The first place in the East is the deservedly Cavaliers, while the second place in the East is the 63-19 Miami Heat.

Although they won 26 of their last 27 games, there was a lot going on in front of the invincible Big Five.

So much so that the final results were greatly affected.

Even after the regular season, seeing the rare public infighting between James and Wade, many people wondered if the Big Five team would have some huge trouble in the playoffs.

In the East, the team that occupies the third position is the Boston Celtics, who have been the first in the East for the past few seasons and deservedly dominated the East.

But this season, the Boston Celtics, who are supposed to be the Seattle SuperSonics, have encountered a lot of trouble, and the sudden rise of the Eastern Cavaliers and the Heat has caught them off guard.

When it comes to the Cavaliers and the Heat, the Boston Celtics struggle a little against the Cavaliers.

With the SuperSonics swept this season, the Celtics have swept the SuperSonics in the regular season for three consecutive seasons.

It can be seen that their idea of building a team with supersonic as an imaginary enemy is very correct, but this season has not been very successful, at least, the regular season is not so successful, and the 58-24 record is really hardly a success for the Celtics.

If the team wants to succeed this season, it may have to pray that they break through from the East, and the SuperSonics will break out in the West.

It's hard, it's hard.

In the East, in addition to the first three super teams, the fourth position is occupied by the Washington Wizards with a 48-34 record.

If the Boston Celtics lost their dominance of the East because of the rise of the Cavaliers and the Heat, then the Washington Wizards also lost their position as a formidable challenger in the East because of the rise of these two teams.

In the past few seasons, the Wizards, led by Arenas, have been the No. 1 challenger team because of the Celtics' strength.

But this season, although the Wizards are also trying to be the strongest challenger in the East, it is obvious that the gap between the Wizards and the previous three teams is widening.

Because of Arenas, maybe the Wizards can still beat any team in a given game.

But the brilliance of such a game can no longer make the Wizards a challenger in the East where there are now many strong teams.

Of course, although they lost their position as the strongest challenger team, the Wizards still held the first place in the second group of the East under the leadership of Arenas.

There is a big gap with the big three in the East in front of them, but among the second-tier teams, the Wizards are still outstanding.

The team that is now in fifth place in the East is the Orlando Magic, which has a 42-40 record.

This season, Howard, the Magic's young center, has matured more and more.

Coupled with the addition of former SuperSonics and Raptors star player Rashad Lewis, the Magic's performance this season can be considered quite stable.

Because of the existence of the top three in the East plus the top nine in the West, the league has 12 quite super teams.

Because of the existence of these 12 super teams, it is really not easy for other ordinary teams in the league to get a 50% win rate.

The Magic team is also an ordinary team, but it has maintained the bottom line of the team's 50% win rate.

At the same time, the Magic has also become one of only two teams outside of these 12 super teams with a win rate of more than 50%, the other being the Wizards, who are ranked fourth in the East.

This year's NBA ordinary teams are really difficult, because of the existence of 12 teams in the East and West 3+9, many NBA ordinary teams are joking in private, for them, 30 games in a season are sure to lose.

There are only 82 games in a season, and only 52 games can be really won.

It is quite difficult to win 41 of the 52 games that can be won to achieve a 50% win rate.

This is also the reason why the Rockets lost to many ordinary teams that should not lose because of the early run-in problems, even if the second half of the performance was very exciting, and the performance of the strong dialogue was also very good, but it was almost impossible to enter the playoffs.

This year, whether it is the East or the West, the polarization is too severe.

Judging from the record, the entire league seems to be a middle-level team with the Wizards and Magic, of course, Chris Paul's Thunder has also won more than 50%, but after Paul's injury season was reimbursed, the Thunder's record collapsed directly.

The top five teams in the East have a win rate of over 50%, and after the sixth place in the East, it is completely different.

The team that is now sixth in the East is the Chicago Bulls, who defeated the Pacers in their last game, and the Chicago Bulls finally held the sixth place in the East under the leadership of Rose, and also knocked the Pacers to the top eight in the East.

The Chicago Bulls now have a 35-47 record, which is really not that great, but considering that the Chicago Bulls were considered one of the weakest teams in the league before the start of the season, they were able to shoot sixth in the East, which is very, very good.

As the successor of Yes, this ranking is better than Yes's first season with the SuperSonics.

Of course, the SuperSonics are the West's entry into the playoffs, with a record of 50+ wins from Superman.

But in any case, Rose's Bulls are one of the most surprising teams in the league this season, Rose himself has made it to the All-Star because of such a good performance, and Bulls head coach Scott Brooks is also one of the biggest contenders for this season's best coach.

In seventh place in the East is the Pistons led by Iverson who are also 35-47, Iverson has once again achieved an average of more than 30+ points per game this season, and now Iverson, who is focused on scoring, is getting closer and closer to the goal of 30,000 points.

The last place in the East to enter the playoffs is the 76ers led by Iguodala, who also have a record of 35 wins and 47 losses, because the Bulls won the last game, and the 76ers even if they themselves won the Cavaliers, who defeated O'Neal's rest, and in the end they could only continue to be in eighth place.

In addition to the eight teams that entered the playoffs in the East, the Pacers are in ninth place and the Hawks are tenth, these two teams are also quite a pity, both teams have a record of 34 wins and 48 losses, and they are really only one step away from the playoffs.

As long as the two teams end up beating each other in the final game, they can enter the playoffs, but unfortunately the Pacers lost to the Bulls and the Hawks lost to the Pistons.

In addition to these ten teams, the remaining Eleventh Charlotte Hornets in the East, the twelfth Nets, the thirteenth Raptors, the fourteenth Bucks, and the fifteenth New York Knicks all have quite ugly records, except for the Hornets because they are led by Larry Brown, and the 25-57 record looks like that.

The record of other teams is really hard to watch, especially the New York Knicks, who have a record of 10 wins and 72 losses this season.

It's just crazy to lose for the draft!

That is, the Warriors in the West really can't win, otherwise the New York Knicks will definitely be the bottom of the league with this record.

In the second half of the regular season, the gap between the Spurs and the Dallas Mavericks has been quite small, even equal, but it was not until the last few games that the Spurs and Mavericks were separated.

After beating the Mavericks, the Spurs, who were fourth in the West last season, finally returned to the first place in the West this season, and also became the biggest favorites for the championship this season.

Because of the Heat's infighting, the current Spurs are indeed the biggest favorites in the league to win the championship.

In the West, the team behind the Spurs is the Los Angeles Lakers with 63 wins and 19 losses.

The Los Angeles Lakers are also one of the teams that have been ranked first in the West this season, and the Los Angeles Lakers even held the first place in the West in the first half of the season.

But by the second half of the season, the Los Angeles Lakers had lost a bit of a lot.

In fact, not only the Los Angeles Lakers lost a little more in the second half of the season, but also the Spurs, Mavericks, Lakers, Nuggets, Grizzlies, these five teams have not lost less.

This is also the reason why the Rockets are the team with the best record in the second half of the West, and there are a lot of strong conversations in the second half of the West, especially the Rockets and the Suns and the Timberwolves SuperSonics have a very high winning rate in the dialogue with the top five in the West.

For example, the Timberwolves have defeated the Mavericks, Lakers, and Spurs, while the Suns have defeated the Grizzlies, Lakers, and the SuperSonics have also defeated the Spurs, Lakers, and Nuggets, as for the Rockets, it goes without saying that the Mavericks, Lakers, Nuggets, Grizzlies, Spurs, five teams, and the Rockets have all won!

Although winning one game is really nothing, it can only be said that the four teams behind the top nine in the West were more crazy and thirsty for victory at that time.

But it can also be seen that the record of the western side is indeed quite fierce after the second half.

This is also the reason why many people say that in addition to the Spurs, any team in the West that ranks first may be blackened.

Coming in third place in the West behind the Spurs and Lakers is Anthony's Denver Nuggets, who have a 62-20 record, and the Denver Nuggets' record is lower than the Mavericks, who are fourth in the West, and the Grizzlies, who are fifth in the West.

But this team is the first team in the Northwest Division, and according to the NBA's ranking rules, the first division automatically occupies a spot in the top three, so although the Nuggets have the fifth record in the West, they are ranked third in the West.

Therefore, such ranking rules are very unfriendly to the teams in a division that have more than one super strong team.

And this very unfriendly division is naturally the Southwest Division with the Spurs, Mavericks, Grizzlies, Rockets and Thunder.

The fourth-place Mavericks have a 64-18 record, and the Spurs, who are second only to the first in the West, should be second in the West.

The Grizzlies, who are fifth in the West, have a record of 63 wins and 19 losses, and this team has the same record as the Lakers, who are second in the West, and even because they have a better record against the Lakers, if they really want to compete with the Lakers, they should be second only to the Spurs and Mavericks in third place in the West.

According to the record ranking, the top three teams in the West this year are the Spurs, Mavericks, and Grizzlies, all of which are teams in the Southwest.

But according to the NBA's ranking rules, except for the Spurs, the first place in the West has been guaranteed, the Mavericks are ranked fourth, and the Grizzlies are ranked fifth, and one of the two strongest teams in the West actually has to fight each other in the first round.

Coming in sixth place in the West behind the five superpowers in the West is the Timberwolves, who finished with a 61-21 record, and the Timberwolves almost pulled the Nuggets from the first place in the Northwest in the final moments.

The Nuggets' two consecutive last-minute losses to the SuperSonics really scared the team by surprise.

That is, the opponent behind the Nuggets is weaker, otherwise the Timberwolves may really overturn the Nuggets.

If you say that in the East, the most surprising teams are the Bulls led by Ross and the Cavaliers led by O'Neal, and the most surprising teams are definitely the Timberwolves led by young players such as Gay and Yi Jianlian.

This team is balanced inside and outside, with almost no shortcomings, and this season's performance is really good.

That is, this young team is in the west, there are too many strong teams in the west, and there are too many strong teams played, if this team is placed in the east, the performance of this young team in the east is unimaginable......

Behind the Timberwolves, in seventh place in the West is the Phoenix Suns, who played a historic 70-win record last season.

The Suns are indeed not as strong as last season this season, but their 61-21 record is considered very good.

This season's Suns have not strengthened, which can be regarded as standing still, and in the context of the strong rise of many teams in the entire West, teams that have not been strengthened will retreat if they do not advance, and it is normal to play such a record.

It's just obvious that although the record is passable, this ranking is indeed not so good for the Suns.

fell directly from second to seventh, and the rockets were even worse than them.

However, although the Suns are a little bit miserable, this team has finally entered the playoffs, and at the very least, the Suns still have a chance to continue to play in the playoffs.

Just like the hype of many media public opinion at the end of the season, except for the Spurs, any team in the West will be in danger of being the black eight.

This means that even if the Suns are ranked seventh, as long as they are not facing the Spurs, there is a possibility of a black seven.

They are going to play the Lakers in the playoffs, but the Suns have always been very favorite opponents, and in the past few seasons, the Suns have bullied the single-core Kobe.

It's just that the current Kobe Bryant is no longer a single core, and the Lakers have changed in time.

Behind the Suns is the Seattle SuperSonics, who are the eighth in the West this season, and the Seattle SuperSonics have a record of just 60 wins and 22 losses, which happens to be one of ten teams to reach 60 wins this season.

This record is really quite good for the SuperSonics who have been without Durant and have been carrying Ibaka all season.

This season, the West is much more competitive than last season.

Last season's West was so brutal, and there were only 7 teams with more than 60 wins, this season not only have 8 teams in the West with more than 60 wins, but also 2 in the East, and there is also a 59 wins in the West!

Of course, although the SuperSonics performed well in the regular season, the expectations for the playoffs were quite low.

The 60-22 record is only eighth in the West.

If the Seattle SuperSonics are ranked seventh, sixth, or even fifth in the West, there is a chance that they will be below the gram.

But it's the Spurs who have Yes' strongest finisher, Bowen.

Yes's miracle will be restrained by Bowen to the maximum.

Many experts have watched the last six games of the Spurs and the SuperSonics, and they have unanimously found that if the rest of the Spurs team does not mess with Bowen and does not go undercover, the Spurs can win all six games!

When it comes to the playoffs, after the tactical discipline of each team comes up, it is impossible for any team to mess around, let alone the Spurs or a very experienced team.

So the SuperSonics entered the playoffs in eighth place, and even the most die-hard Barkley and Pippen had no hope.

"We don't have high requirements for Yes and supersonics, it's important not to be swept by the Spurs, it's fine."

"Yes has already gotten a five-double-double anyway and made the playoffs, so it's not going to be a success this season, but it's not going to be a failure either."

On the Eastern side, it's a shame that the Pacers and Hawks didn't make the playoffs.

And on the Western side, the 59-23 Rockets didn't make it to the playoffs in the end, which is even more of a pity.

The Spurs' 59-23 loss to miss the playoffs also directly led to the Rockets becoming the best team in NBA history to miss the playoffs.

59 wins can't make the playoffs, and this is something that no one can imagine until this season's miraculous situation appears.

Such unimaginable things finally happened.

This season's West, if you want to enter the playoffs, the minimum record you need is a terrifying 60 wins!

Originally, many people thought that 60 wins of 7 teams in the West last season was already the most terrifying.

I didn't expect this season to be even more terrifying.

Nine teams in the top nine in the West can all be called god-like teams this season.

And in the teams after that, it's much more normal.

In tenth place in the West is the Thunder led by Chris Paul, the Thunder finished with a record of 39 wins and 43 losses, and after Chris Paul's injury, the team finally fell out of the ranks of teams with a winning percentage of more than 50%, but still retained the tenth place in the West.

Behind the Thunder are the 11th Trail Blazers and the 12th Clippers, although the record of these two teams is not as good as the Thunder, but they have a better record than the Bulls in the East, and they can easily enter the playoffs in the East.

However, the Jazz in the 13th place in the West and the Kings in the 14th place in the West are no different from those weak teams in the East.

As for the fifteenth Warriors in the West, this team has a 7-75 record under the leadership of Mike Beasley this season, which is really shocking!

Mike Beasley's performance this season is also really good, with a minimum of 20+ per game and 20+ in 82 consecutive games, which is the second player in NBA history to reach 20+ consecutive seasons after Yes.

Beasley is also the third-longest player in league history with a 20+ length after Hysley-Chamberlain.

In addition to his offensive consistency, Beasley's performance was incredible, and Beasley's final scoring average was just 30 points per game.

It also makes Beasley another rookie player after Hyes and Durant who averaged more than 30 points per game in his rookie season.

Beasley really wants to win, but the Warriors really can't win!

In the end, Isaiah Thomas, the head coach of the New York Knicks, who competed with the Warriors for the bottom spot, complained.

"We've been shameless enough, this season has been our most shameless season, but we're still a long way from the Warriors."

"You all think we're pretty undignified, but I want to say to you that our dignity doesn't keep us from having a lower record than the Warriors."

After the NBA's regular season, in addition to the record of these teams, it is notable.

Naturally, the NBA player stats are also very impressive.

Yes, who won the scoring and steals this season, and his average of 44 points per game made him another player after Chamberlain to average 40+ points per game.

At the same time, his average of 3.8 steals per game is quite terrifying.

This season's assist king is Chris Paul, Chris Paul's explosion this season is incredible, three consecutive four-double-double performances have made him jump from a scandalous clown to the league's new supergiant, and even has the nickname of St. Paul.

Howard, who is the rebounding king and block champion this season, although Oden is now recognized as the league's future No. 1 center, but in terms of data, Howard still seems to be slightly ahead.

Of course, in addition to these individual kings, the NBA has once again had a triple-double this season.

Seattle SuperSonics' leading point guard Rajon Rondo averaged 10.1 points, 10.5 assists, 10.1 rebounds and 2 steals per game this season, which also made Rajon Rondo the second regular season triple-double in the NBA after Oscar Robertson.

You know, last season Rondo was already the second player other than Oscar Robertson to average a triple-double per game in the playoffs.

In other words, Rondo is now another all-round triple-double king in addition to Oscar Robertson!

If Rondo can average a triple-double per game in the Finals, he could even surpass Oscar Robertson to become the only triple-double winner in NBA history with a Grand Slam triple-double!

Of course, Rondo's triple-double-aver-per-game champion doesn't add much to his popularity, and these crazy triple-doubles are said to do nothing other than bring down the triple-double and Oscar Robertson's status.

Because of the rise of Rondo, Oscar Robertson's historical status has plummeted from the general top eleven to the top twenty or so recently.

I heard that Oscar Robertson wanted to teach Rondo a lesson when he was interviewed.

Overall, this season's NBA has really produced a lot of amazing data.

Whether it's the amazing stats played by the NBA players this season, or the rise of the Cavaliers, or the incredible record of the Warriors, the final record of Yes and the SuperSonics, or the 60+ of the eight teams in the West, all of this is telling the world that this is an extraordinary season.
