Chapter 237: The regular season is over

After winning the Spurs, the Grizzlies' overall record reached 65-17 after the final game of the regular season, ranking first in the league.

The Lakers, who are second in the West, are 62-20 and second in the league.

The Trail Blazers finished third in the West with 55 wins and 27 losses, while the Spurs were only half a win behind the Trail Blazers at 54-28 and fourth in the West.

The bottom half of the West is also divided between winners and losers, with the Jazz in fifth place with a 51-33 record.

Sixth in the West is the last to defeat the supersonic Timberwolves, they took their fate into their own hands, ranked sixth in the West, the Timberwolves' opponent in the first round will be the third Trail Blazers in the West, in the top four in the West, the Trail Blazers are recognized as the weakest, because the Trail Blazers do not have superstars and cannot fight a tough battle.

Seventh in the West is the Suns, they lost the last game, so they were overtaken by the Timberwolves, and their opponent in the first round will be the Lakers, who are second in the West, an opponent to mess with.

In the battle for eighth place in the West, the SuperSonics lost to the Timberwolves in the final battle, but the Kings won the Heat steadily.

As a result, the Kings overtook the SuperSonics by half a win and caught the last train of the playoffs.

At this point, the first round of matches in the West has all been released.

The Grizzlies will face the Kings in the first round, the Lakers will face the Suns in the first round, the Trail Blazers will face the Timberwolves in the first round, and the Spurs will face the Jazz in the first round.

In the East, the Pacers are first with 56 wins and 26 losses, and the Heat are second with 52 wins and 30 losses.

Then there are the Knicks, who exploded in the late season and scored another 50-win run under Jeff Van Gundy to finish third in the East.

The fourth is the 76ers, their record is 49-33, according to 50 wins is only one game away, but it is this 1-game difference, the MVP competition, Iverson is destined to compete for Maddie and O'Neal, the best coach competition, Larry Brown is also destined to compete for Qiao Hai and Popovich.

In the bottom four of the East, the Hornets, Raptors, Pistons and Bucks are in order.

So, the first round in the East is, Pacers vs. Bucks, Heat vs. Pistons, Knicks vs. Raptors, and 76ers vs. Hornets.

The regular season ends and the playoffs begin.

The real battle is about to begin.

"Sure enough, it's the hardest road, the first round to play the Kings, the second round may be to play the Spurs, and then the Western Conference Finals to the Lakers, and the Finals Pacers?"

ESPN's report said that Qiao Hai had a bad brain and picked difficult opponents.

Qiao Hai calculated the approximate matchup, the Grizzlies had to play the Kings in the first round, and compared to the SuperSonics, the Kings who also played Princeton's offense were more difficult to deal with.

In the second round, the Grizzlies will play the winner of the Spurs and Jazz, and in terms of probability, it is more likely to play the Spurs.

The Western Conference will naturally have to play the winner of the other two sets of matchups, and it is likely that it will be the Lakers.

Along the way, the Grizzlies will face the three strongest teams in the West in the coming years - the Lakers with the Treble, the Spurs with the Lakers, and the Kings who almost beat the Lakers if not the referees.

So much so that Qiao Hai sighed: It's really the most difficult road.

Qiao Hai opened the document on the computer and entered the column of Hoop Sports.

The Hoop sports column has been open for two months, and some NBA reporters, experts and commentators have been invited to join in the early stage, and then some coaches and players have been attracted to join because some media outlets have picked up their mouths.

Coupled with the grizzly bear infighting incident some time ago, Qiao Hai's post led another wave.

Two months have passed, and the Hoop sports column is getting better and better, and the traffic has increased greatly, and it is almost catching up with the main Hoop website next door.

Two days ago, Qiao Hai made a phone call to Kevinding in Los Angeles and asked Hoop's technical department to work overtime to add a new feature to the column - the forum function.

Now the Hoop sports column only allows practitioners of major sports leagues in the United States with real-name authentication to open columns, as for fans, they can only comment under the columns of major practitioners, so Qiao Hai believes that the traffic of the Hoop sports column has not been maximized, and after adding the forum function, fans can also post, and I believe that the traffic will usher in a surge.

At the end of the regular season, Qiao Hai took the time to write a playoff preview and prediction, and after opening his personal homepage, Qiao Hai directly pasted and copied from the document, and after getting the layout, he directly clicked send.

Soon, everyone saw the playoffs preview and predictions made by Grizzlies head coach Qiao Hai.

Joe didn't write much, he just wrote about the Grizzlies' playoff predictions.

Playing the Kings in the first round, Qiao Hai's prediction was that the Grizzlies would win 4:2.

This prediction is reasonable and in line with the predictions of many expert journalists.

Then, Qiao Hai predicted that the Grizzlies would meet the Spurs in the second round, and the final score was 4:3, and the Grizzlies narrowly won.

There is a bit of disagreement with this prediction, and many expert reporters believe that the Grizzlies are not the opponent of the Spurs, because the Grizzlies lost to the Spurs three times in the regular season, only won once, and still narrowly won. The San Antonio reporters, in particular, were unconvinced and didn't think the Grizzlies could beat the Spurs.

Although the Grizzlies have a good regular season, there is a saying that is always mentioned by major media: the regular season is the regular season, and the playoffs are the real battlefield.

They don't think the Grizzlies, who did well in the regular season, can make a difference in the playoffs, because the Grizzlies have never set foot in the playoffs, and the Grizzlies' roster has little experience in the playoffs, and the main team and main rotation are all rookie eggs.

Western Conference Prediction, Qiao Hai predicts that the Grizzlies can sweep the Lakers 4-0.

This prediction is very controversial, even if the Lakers beat the Lakers four times in the regular season, it does not mean that the Grizzlies can sweep the Lakers in the playoffs.

Therefore, as soon as Qiao Hai's column was published, four or five reporters immediately posted articles in the Hoop column to refute Qiao Hai's prediction.

Phil Jackson, Popovich, and Rick Adelman don't have the habit of posting in the Hoop column, and this time Qiao Hai posted an article, they still felt that Qiao Hai was too young, young and vigorous, and didn't know how to be restrained.

Therefore, the three of them ignored Qiao Hai.

In the face of the rebuttal of the swarming reporters, Qiao Hai didn't pay attention to it, and after posting this column, he disappeared and devoted himself to preparing for the playoffs.

With a two-to-three-day break from the regular season to the first game of the playoffs, the playoffs kick off on April 22 with the 76ers vs. Hornets, Pistons vs. Heat, Lakers vs. Suns, and Spurs vs. Jazz.

The Grizzlies won't be on the court until the next day, with the other three being the Trail Blazers vs. Timberwolves, Bucks vs. Pacers, and Raptors vs. Knicks.

So, the Grizzlies will have three days of rest, which is more than the Lakers Spurs.

During the three-day break, Qiao Hai prepared some hole cards for the team to deal with the matchup in the first round of the playoffs.

The regular season is over, and the data kings of the regular season have also been revealed.

The scoring title was won by Shaquille O'Neal, who averaged 29.7 points per game this season, ranking first.

The second is Allen Iverson, who averages 28.4 points per game, and the third is Maddy, who averages 28.2 points per game.

The rebounding leader is Deacon Bemutombo, who averages 14.1 rebounds per game.

The assist leader is Jason Kidd, who averages 10.1 assists per game.

Eddie Jones, the king of steals, averaged 2.3 steals per game.

Alonzo Mourning, the king of blocks, averaged 3.7 blocks per game.

And the biggest award in the regular season, the regular season MVP, comprehensive data and records, averaged 29.7 points, 13.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 3.0 blocks per game in the regular season, O'Neal, who won 62 games, and Maddie, who averaged 28.2 points, 6.5 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.0 blocks per game in the regular season, and the team's 65 wins.

In the end, it's up to the polls of journalists and commentators.
