On March 30, the Mavericks were played away.

Nowitzki had 35 points, 18 rebounds and 4 assists, and Nash had 31 points and 10 assists.

126:109, Don Nelson Sr.'s team is really tough, the offensive strength is too strong, after all, it has five All-Stars.

On the Cavaliers' side, James, Ye Feng, Boozer, and Ilgoskas scored 20 points, but in addition, no one else's performance can be seen, and it is not unjust to lose.

......

At this point, March ended, and the Cavaliers' record was 43-31.

Throughout March, the Cavaliers had a 10-4 record, which was a good record.

The regular season has entered its final stage, and the Cavaliers have only eight games left.

At the same time, the personal honors for March have also been released.

First up is Rookie of the Month.

In the East, Ye Feng played well, 10-4 in 14 games, averaging 20.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.4 blocks per game, beating James of the same team and winning the Eastern Rookie of the Month in March.

So far, James has won 3 of the 5 Month Rookie of the Year, and Ye Feng has won 2.

And in the West, Anthony led the way and won his fifth Rookie of the Month without the slightest suspense.

Then there's the Player of the Month.

In the East, Lamar Odom of the Heat won an upset.

With 11 wins and 3 losses in 14 games this month, the Heat are riding from the bottom to the top eight, and Odom's role is crucial.

Wade and Eddie Jones are good, but Odom is the one who holds the whole team together.

averaged 17.4 points, 10.9 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.7 blocks per game, and the data is average, after all, his role is not fully reflected in the data.

Westward.

Garnett, who won the best month for three consecutive months, was finally squeezed down, and perhaps everyone felt a little aesthetically fatigued.

The Timberwolves are still strong, Garnett's stats are still gorgeous, but people don't want to see him win the same award for the fourth time.

So, this award was given to Kobe.

This month, the Lakers are 12-1, and Kobe Bryant himself averaged 25.3 points, 6.2 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.5 blocks per game, and he deserves last month's Player of the Month.

......

By this time in the season, everything has basically been decided, and the top eight teams in the East are basically set.

1. The Pacers, 52-24, there is no suspense about this, and it must be the leader of the East.

2. The Pistons, 48-27, the Pistons Five Tigers have just gathered, and they have played a wave of winning streaks.

3. Nets, 43-31, the Three Musketeers are still powerful.

4. Cavaliers, also 43-31.

5. Heat, 37-38.

6. Bucks, 37-38.

7. Hornets, 37-38.

8. Knicks, 35-38.

9. Celtics, 34-41.

10.76ers, 32-43.

11. Raptors, 30-44.

The Celtics, 76ers, and Raptors are theoretically still likely to make the playoffs.

As for the Hawks, the Wizards, the Bulls, and the Magic, there is no longer even a theoretical possibility.

The Cavaliers' current record is tied with the Nets for third, which is actually very good.

However, because this year's playoffs are still divided into regions, the top spot in the small division automatically enters the top four in the major division, so the Cavaliers suffer a lot.

After all, the Pacers, Pistons, Bucks and Cavaliers all belong to the middle zone, while the Pacers and Pistons' record is stable for the Cavaliers.

Add to that the two top spots in the Southeast and Atlantic divisions, and the Cavaliers will be squeezed into the bottom half of the league and lose home-court advantage.

......

In April, it began.

Teams that have already been ranked are starting to rotate and take a break to build up energy for the playoffs and avoid injuries.

And those teams that are still fighting for a playoff ticket or home-court advantage are still fighting it out one game at a time.

Clearly, the Cavaliers don't have that pressure.

However, a team composed of a group of young people, no one wants to take turns to rest, and they also want to win every game, and Ye Feng is the one who wants to win the most.

On April 2, the Cavaliers took on the Bucks on the road.

After a hard-fought battle, the Cavaliers outscored the jumper 109-104.

Ye Feng had 19 points, 4 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals.

......

On April 3, the Cavaliers defeated the Warriors at home, 117-90, a 27-point victory.

Ye Feng scored 26 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists.

......

On April 6, the Cavaliers met the Raptors who were competing for the final ticket to the playoffs.

The Raptors fought against the water, and Carter performed bravely, scoring 32 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists to defeat the Cavaliers.

......

On April 7, it was another back-to-back, with the Grizzlies and Pau Gasol sidelined.

But no one expected James Posey to explode, scoring 35 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals.

His bench Sean Battier had 13 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, and both of them performed very well.

What's more, the two prevented James to death.

Don't underestimate any NBA team, even if their core isn't there.

Ye Feng remembered this sentence again.

The Cavaliers suffered Waterloo and lost again!

......

On April 9, the Cavaliers played the Heat on the road.

Two teams of Mars collided with the Earth and fought a big battle.

In the end, the Cavaliers lost 91-106 to the Heat, who were strong at this stage.

With three straight losses, the morale of the Cavaliers is a bit low.

......

On April 10, the two teams played again, but this time in Cleveland.

The united Cavaliers finally pulled back a game and ended a three-game losing streak.

......

On April 12, hit the bucks.

On April 14, hit the Knicks.

These were the Cavaliers' final two regular season games of the season, and the Cavaliers won both of them to finish well and advance to the playoffs on a three-game winning streak.

At this point, the 2003-2004 regular season is over.

The Cavaliers have a 48-34 record and are third in the East.

Who would have imagined that last season, they were still the bottom of the East, with a record of only 17 wins and 65 losses.

This season, they have improved their wins by 31 games, ranking first in the league.

As a result, Cavaliers head coach Paul Silas was shortlisted for Best Coach and general manager Danny Ferry was also shortlisted for Best General Manager.

In the last month, Ye Feng won the Rookie of the Month again, and shared it with James 3 times.

Anthony in the West won the game with six wins alone.

The Player of the Month in the East is Jamal Magloyl of the Hornets, who averages 21.7 points, 12.1 rebounds and 1 block per game.

The Western Conference's Player of the Month is Garnett, who averages 22.7 points, 14.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 2 steals and 2.7 blocks per game.

Winning the Player of the Month four times in one season, Kevin Garnett is simply invincible this season, leading the regular season MVP shortlist.

And he, Sprewell and Cassel, the Timberwolves triumvirate, is also considered one of the favorites to win the championship this season.

However, there is little interest in these leaf winds.

With the regular season over, the playoff bracket is out.

Those teams that don't make the playoffs can go home fishing, while those that do start preparing for the playoffs.

The playoffs can be much more brutal than the regular season.
