Chapter 250: Breaking the Record! (2/4! Ask for a monthly pass, brothers! )
Winning the Celtics, for the Rockets, is to win the last hurdle of their regular season.
The remaining five opponents of the season, the Knicks, Grizzlies, and Clippers have long given up this season, and even if they want to resist, they are powerless, and as for the Bulls and Mavericks, who have the strength to fight, there is also a gap in strength.
In the end, the Rockets also successfully closed the game and extended their winning streak to 28 games!
And their record has also come to 71-11! Breaking the team record again!
This also became the second team to reach a record of 70 wins, following the 72 wins set by the Bulls in the 9596 season!
The alliance is shocked!
At the beginning of the season, the Rockets suffered a crisis at the No. 4 position, then Landry's injury, and the big turmoil at the trade deadline, but with a wave of 28 consecutive wins in the closing moments, they made history again!
It's incredible!
But as it turned out, the other 15 playoff teams in the league were shivering.
Because such a team is the team they may encounter next!
With the record-breaking shock of the Rockets, the NBA's 20082009 season also came to an end.
In the West, the Rockets are in a league of their own, with a 71-11 record and all of their home games in the playoffs.
In second place is the Lakers, who also won 64-18, a record that, if not for the perversion of the Rockets, would have been a solid first place in the West for most years.
In third place is the Nuggets, who have a 54-28 record, brought in Baron Davis at the start of the season and traded in from the Wizards to Bletche at the trade deadline, and they have had their best season since selecting Anthony.
The fourth-ranked Spurs also have a record of 54 wins and 28 losses, but they failed to rank among the top three because of the win-loss relationship.
The Spurs have grown stronger and stronger since the Pistons brought in McDyce, and it is worth mentioning that Ginobili did not suffer injuries like in his previous life, and his GDP is still one of the favorites for the championship in the playoffs.
In fifth place is the Trail Blazers, who have a 53-29 record, and the youth team finally broke through in the new season, which is also their return to the playoffs after five years, Oden, Aldridge, Roy, Bamot, Oterlo...... The youth are aiming to be the biggest spoilers in the playoffs.
In sixth place is the Hornets, 50-32, the Hornets are the same as Tang Tian in his previous life, Chandler and Peja have stopped and stopped, and their record has not gone further than last year, but has declined.
In seventh place is the Utah Jazz, 49-33, who finally fell to the bottom half of the season after being lucky to be in the top half of the league for two years in a row, and almost missed the playoffs.
In eighth place is the Dallas Mavericks, 48-34, who got Barria from the Rockets at the beginning of the season, but are still in the run-in phase, actually
The ninth-placed Suns were the unfortunate lottery champions with a 46-36 record and a final loss in the slots, making the offseason bound to be a tumultuous season.
It is worth mentioning that the tenth-ranked Grizzlies only have a total of 33 wins......
Also in the same bad mood as the Suns is Morey, because the tenth-place team is the damn Grizzlies!
Five teams in the West have won less than 30 games, and the Kings have won just 17 games.
After the Grizzlies traded the first-round pick to the Rockets, they played a good record under the leadership of Gasol Jr., and the record suddenly reached tenth in the West.
This record ranks 21st in the league, that is to say, the probability of winning the lottery ranks 9th, only 1.7!
Tang Tian was also a little crying and laughing when he saw this final ranking.
Before Gasol Jr. said that he would make them regret it, this "they" naturally refers to the Rockets management.
Now it seems that it has really been done......
There is a clear dividing line between the top two teams in the West and the teams behind them, and it just so happens that the same is true in the East.
The Celtics are 67-15, just four fewer games than the Rockets, first in the East and second in the league.
The Cavaliers are 66-16 and have had their best season.
A total of four teams in the league have won more than 60 games, which is also a new history in the NBA.
The third-ranked Magic have 59 wins, and their strength should not be underestimated.
The remaining 5 teams in the east have a little worse record than the west.
The fourth-ranked Eagles have 46 wins, and their strength is obviously one notch behind.
In fifth place is the Heat, with only 42 wins, and the combination of Wade, O'Neal Jr., and Beasley will have to see how they play in the playoffs if they want to make a difference.
The sixth-ranked 76ers have just 40 wins.
The seventh-placed Bulls also have 40 wins, but it's worth mentioning that this is the first playoff trip for the top pick Derrick Rose.
The eighth-placed Bucks ended up with just 39 wins, and Bogut's season reimbursement left them strained.
The playoff matchups are also hot.
East: Celtics vs. Bucks, Cavaliers vs. Bulls, Magic vs. 76ers, Hawks vs. Heat.
Although there is still a huge disparity in the strength of the teams in the upper and lower halves, there are still a lot more highlights compared with the previous two years, among which the matchup between James and Rose is even more exciting.
Of course, when it comes to the playoffs, the West is still in focus.
The Rockets vs. the Mavericks, the Texas Civil War, Yao Ming, Maddy, Kidd, Nowitzki, the clash of superstars.
The Lakers faced the Jazz, although the Jazz's record declined, but in the playoffs it has always been a difficult opponent.
Nuggets vs Hornets, one is the big dark horse of the new season, the other is the dark horse of last season, and the three musketeers against the Hornets Big Three are also sparks.
Spurs vs Trail Blazers, a real matchup between the old and the new, whether the Spurs will be killed by the Rockets like two years ago, or teach the young people a lesson, everything is still unknown.
The teams are on the verge of a playoff break.
As the defending champions, the fans of the Rockets are also lively.
With an incredible 71 wins, fans can finally start dreaming about the playoffs after a season of ups and downs.
The strong record has made their considerations not as conservative as at the beginning of the season, whether the Rockets can achieve a dynasty with three consecutive championships, and their current thinking is whether this team can achieve a dynasty with a winning record!
In that case, the team's achievements will surpass the Bulls led by Jordan and move further in history!
