Chapter 665: 2014~2015 Season Regular Season Rankings (Fourth Update!) )

On April 18, the final day of the league's regular season, teams ushered in the final game of the NBA playoffs.

The game between the Warriors and Lakers started first.

Because it is related to the final ranking of the playoffs, this game is also in the spotlight.

Before the game, there was news that Curry would not play in this game, which also made Lakers fans full of expectations.

Although the Lakers have not performed as expected this season, as Lakers fans they also don't want to see Kobe miss the playoffs.

At 7 o'clock that night, the game officially began.

Curry didn't play as fans expected, but everyone else except Curry, Thompson, Green and Bogut all started the game.

The Warriors are not giving up on this game as the outside world said, and they still want to continue to expand their regular season winning record.

On the other field, the Thunder are also sitting and preparing for the final game.

After seeing the Warriors' starting list, there was a burst of excited cheers in the Thunder's locker room.

Collison gave Durant a thumbs up as the Warriors wanted to win, and their hopes of advancing to the playoffs were greatly increased.

Apparently he thought it was a credit to Durant's lobbying.

The Warriors wanted to win, the Lakers wanted to win even more, and the two teams played extremely anxiously, and the score of the two teams was tied at 52 at halftime.

Just as halftime went into the break, the game between the Thunder and Pelicans also started at New Orleans Arena.

The Pelicans are competing for second place in the West, and they are all on the roster except for Jokic who can't play due to injury.

The same is true for the Thunder on the other side, and Durant also came to the sidelines in a suit to cheer for the team.

Before the game, Westbrook yelled at his teammates to boost morale.

As soon as the Thunder came up, Westbrook hit the Pelicans basket in a row, and also staged a wonderful moment of blocking Ariza .

After the first quarter, the scores of the two teams were deadlocked.

However, in the second quarter, the situation on the court suddenly changed dramatically, and under the leadership of Gordon, the Pelicans' bench group quickly pulled the score away.

After the Thunder traded away Reggie Jackson, the bench firepower was much weaker, and it was obviously a little overwhelming.

Although Westbrook came back to help the Thunder tighten the score, the Thunder still trailed the Pelicans by as many as 12 points at halftime, 48-60.

And after the half of the game was played here, there was also bad news for the Thunder over there.

After the game between the Lakers and the Warriors was played, the Lakers finally defeated the Warriors 106-103 and won the final game.

Bryant scored 30 points in the second half and became the winner of the game.

The Lakers won, and in this way, the Thunder were really cornered.

In the Thunder locker room in the midfield, the atmosphere became extremely dull.

Collison tried to say something to boost the team's morale, but none of the players were in a noticeable mood.

Coming back in the second half, the Pelicans played a wave of 10-0 offensive from the Thunder at the beginning, and the game lost suspense all of a sudden.

By the time Westbrook was substituted at the end of the break in the third quarter, the margin was close to 30 points.

Westbrook sat on the bench with his towel wrapped around his head, and right next to him, Durant was watching the show in a daze.

They finished second in the West last season, but this season they didn't even make the playoffs.

In the fourth quarter, the bench team had already started to get to the bench.

The Pelicans' starters also played, but the margin was so big that they couldn't catch up with the score.

In the end, the Pelicans won the final game with a 112-96 win over the Thunder at home.

And this game brought their win to 60 games, ahead of the Spurs in second place in the West.

This win also became the best record in the history of the Pelicans, including the predecessor Hornets.

At the end of the game, the scene resounded with long-lasting cheers.

Although the playoffs have not yet been played, this regular season record is enough to make them proud and proud.

The Pelicans are now a serious powerhouse.

After the match, the two teams had a final handshake.

Tang Tian and Westbrook chatted for a long time.

Tang Tian comforted the latter more, and it was already very good for the Thunder to play like this without Durant and trading away Reggie Jackson.

After the handshake, both teams left the schedule one after another.

Tang Tian watched Durant also enter the player tunnel.

This is the first time Durant has been absent since Tang Tian entered the NBA, and he is now watching Durant leave.

Back in the locker room, the players were celebrating wildly.

It's not their first year in the playoffs, but it's clear that this year they're not the same as last year.

Jokic is also there, although he can't play now, but he has recovered, and theoretically he can come back at the end of the first round.

It's a double blessing for the Pelicans.

After the game between the Thunder and Pelicans ended, the closing games of the other teams also ended one after another.

The regular season of the 2014~2015 season has officially ended.

The ranking of the top eight in the East and West has also been finalized.

On the Eastern side, the Hawks' record ended up being the same as the Pelicans, both 60-22 and ranked first in the East.

The Cavaliers are second in second place with a 55-27 record.

Although they failed to rush to the first place, the triumvirate run-in is completed, and they are still the most competitive team in the Eastern Conference playoffs.

The Knicks are third with a 53-29 record.

The combination of Anthony and Howard will be a real test in the playoffs.

The Bulls are fourth in the East with a 50-32 record.

Although they didn't get the big Gasol as they have in history, Jimmy Butler's excellent play, coupled with the improvement of Ty Gibson, they are the dark horse team in the playoffs.

The Raptors are fifth with 49 wins.

The Wizards are in sixth place with a 46-win record.

The Bucks are seventh with 41 wins.

This is the first time Antetokounmpo has made the playoffs, and if it weren't for trading Knight to self-destruct the Great Wall, their record and ranking should be a little better than they are now.

The Celtics sit eighth with a 40-42 record, making Stevens' first trip to the playoffs.

The Eastern Conference playoff matchups are also out.

Hawks vs Celtics

This is their best situation for the Greens, who are known as a civilian team that is not favored in the playoffs, and they have a good chance of achieving Black Eight;

Cavaliers vs Bucks

Brother Alphabet's playoff debut met James, and the suffocation operation of the Bucks management's trade deadline allowed them to finally draw the next sign;

Knicks vs Wizards

This may be the most suspenseful matchup, whether Anthony and Howard can both prove themselves in the playoffs, and whether Pierce Sr. can bring the weak playoffs in the playoffs, everything is unknown.

Bulls vs Raptors

The all-time battle for the king of the North has not taken place, and the Canadians, who have always been weak in the playoffs, will face the Bulls, the toughest opponent of the playoffs, and they do not have home-court advantage yet, making it another difficult playoff journey for them.

However, for them in the regular season Dragons and playoffs, it doesn't seem to matter so much who the opponent is.
