Wang Meng couldn't ask for it, so he took advantage of the situation and caught up with it, and his body was close to Okafor.

"He's going to pass the ball!" Aldridge immediately shouted.

Wang Meng smiled, "It's too late." As he spoke, with a strong hand, the ball passed from Okafor's waist and was just in Oden's hand.

"Drink!" Auden yelled, jumped on the spot and pressed the ball into the basket with both hands.

It can be said that this match has already decided who will be the winner from the very beginning.

Since the Trail Blazers lost Roy, the Trail Blazers are no longer regular visitors to the playoffs, and now the Trail Blazers are barely in the middle and lower reaches of the league, and they can't even make the playoffs, while the Hornets have already confirmed their playoff spot.

At 110:98, the Hornets won the game by 12 points.

Oden, who faced his old master, was extremely excited, scoring 21 points, 13 rebounds and 3 blocks, and Wang Meng also scored 23 points and 9 assists.

With the Trail Blazers out of the game, the Hornets finished their game in March, and in April, the Hornets still have 14 games left.

As long as the Hornets can win half of these fourteen games, they will be able to enter the playoffs. According to the meaning of the Hornets and others, of course, it is as much as you can win, this shrinking season makes the performance of each team very unsatisfactory, except for the Spurs, the other two teams in front of the Hornets, the Thunder and the Lakers' record is just a few more than the Hornets, especially the Lakers, in the next four games, two games are against the Lakers, as long as they can win these victories, the Hornets can even enter the playoffs as the second in the West.

Wang Meng knows that this ranking is very important for the Hornets, first of all, the Hornets are a new army, and many people inside have little experience in the playoffs and need to continue to win to motivate, and secondly, if it becomes second in the West, then the first playoff opponent the Hornets will face is seventh in the West.

He shared this idea with Monty, who naturally knew this, this was his first season as a head coach to guide the team, and it would be perfect if he could really make the playoffs with the second place in the West and possibly make it to the second round, so he immediately proposed to practice.

In the past, after the team trained, there were not many people who were willing to stay and practice, there were really not many, Monty sometimes had something to go back to the stadium to get documents, and there were only a few players I saw, Wang Meng, Oden, and occasionally Gerard Wallace would also come to practice, but very few.

This time, Monty only read it once, as long as you are a player on the team, and you still want to stay in the Hornets next season, you must practice for me! Monty also knows that this group of players is energetic every day, and many of them run to nightclubs when there are no games after training.

Although the players complained about this order, the whole team of the Hornets still followed the head coach's orders and stayed for a while after the usual training.

Of course, Monty didn't just know how to practice with his head covered, and he still gave the players a proper rest when the game was approaching.

More than half of the April game has passed unconsciously, and the Hornets' record is also very pleasantly surprised. With 8 wins out of 10 games, the Hornets have only lost two games, and the two games against the Lakers have been won one and lost one.

This season, the Hornets have faced the Lakers a total of four times, with three losses and one win in four games. In these four games, Wang Meng was able to score an average of 29 points and 11 assists per game, and Paul, who was in the opposite position with him, contributed 18 points, 10 assists and 3 steals per game, but still could not lead the team to victory.

After the most crucial game, Monty canceled the extra practice, and even the usual training intensity was reduced a lot, because after the next four games, the playoffs were coming.

These four games were against the Rockets on April 20, the Clippers on April 23, the Warriors on April 25, and the Rockets on April 27.

At this point, the Hornets' shrunken, 66-game regular season has finally come to an end.

45:21, this is the last report card handed in by the Hornets, although this result is not as ranked second in the West as Monty Wang Mengmeng thought, but it also sits firmly on the third throne of the league.

The first place in the West is still the San Antonio Spurs, this team has never had a record of 50 wins since the selection of Duncan, the stone Buddha, even in this shrinking season of only 66 games, the Spurs can still maintain 50 wins, leading the league, but in the playoffs Spurs can run these three old carriages, is a question, last season the Spurs were also the first in the West, but were blacked out by the Grizzlies.

The final standings in the Western Conference are as follows: 1 San Antonio Spurs (50-16) 2 Oklahoma City Thunder (47-19) 3 New Orleans Hornets (45-21) 4 Los Angeles Lakers (44-22) 5

Memphis Grizzlies (41-25), 6, Denver Nuggets (38-28), 7, Dallas Mavericks (36-30), 8, Utah Jazz (36-30), 09

Houston Rockets (34-32)

10, Los Angeles Clippers (34-32), 11, Phoenix Suns (33-33), 12, Portland Trail Blazers (28-38), 13

Minnesota Timberwolves (26-40), 14, Golden State Warriors (23-43), 15

Sacramento Kings (22-44).

The first round of the playoffs in the West is matchups, Spurs vs. Jazz, Thunder vs. Mavericks, Hornets vs. Nuggets, Lakers vs. Grizzlies.

The first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs is Bulls vs. 76ers, Heat vs. Magic, Pacers vs. Knicks, Celtics vs. Hawks.

It is worth mentioning that since Wang Meng told Jeremy Lin how to adapt to his position in the Knicks, Jeremy Lin really changed his playing style, although in the subsequent games, his statistics plummeted to 13 points and 6 assists, but he and Anthony and Xiaosi, who later came back, cooperated very well, and the three people led the team to let the Knicks make a later effort and rushed to sixth in the East.

As the regular season comes to an end, the major awards are gradually coming to the surface.

The most important regular season MVP awards will not be announced until the second round is about to begin, and there are currently three most likely surnames, James of the Heat, Durant of the Thunder and Wang Meng of the Hornets. Until the ballots are announced, no one knows which of the three will win the award. As for the last regular season MVP Rose, although the 12 season regular season Bulls' record is the best in the league, but it has nothing to do with Rose, in fact, Rose has been absent for a long time because of injury, and the Bulls can play this result and he basically has nothing to do, but it is said that Rose will return in the game between the Bulls and the 76ers.

In addition to the regular season MVP award, all other awards have been announced, and the best coach was won by Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau, the former Celtics defensive assistant coach who led the Bulls to a 50-16 record and lead the league in the absence of star Rose, and it is natural to win this award.

The best sixth man is the Thunder's Harden, a beard much like Ginobili who is getting stronger and stronger, showing very terrifying offensive firepower on the Thunder's bench.

The best defensive player is the Knicks' boxing champion Tyson Chandler, but in Wang Meng's opinion, this guy's interior defense ability is not as good as Oden's, but this is voted by the media across the league, and Wang Meng can't say anything.

The Most Improved Player was given to Oden of the Hornets, since Oden was cured by Wang Meng and was able to play, he gradually showed his dominance in college, and his strong explosiveness and excellent defensive ability made him a very important part of the Hornets' interior defense.

The Rookie of the Year went to this year's No. 1 pick, Kelly Irving. Champion Lang was able to score 18 points and 5 assists this season, although Irving did not quickly adapt to the rhythm of the league when he first entered the league, and the shooting rate was a bit miserable, but then he gradually adjusted and adapted to the rhythm of the NBA, and the shooting rate also rebounded, playing fully worthy of the results that the previous champion should have.

The league's All-NBA First Team: center Howard, forward James

Durant, guard Kobe Bryant Wang Meng.

Second team: center Bydam, forward Lefou, Anthony, defender, Paul, Westbrook.

Third team: center Oden, forward Griffin

Duncan, guard Wade, Rondo.

The Hornets unexpectedly had two players on the All-Match team, Wang Meng of the first team and Oden of the third team.

Wang Meng entered the first team is expected, this season Wang Meng averaged 24 points and 11.3 assists per game, is one of the most efficient players in the league, although the scoring king and the assist king have nothing to do with Wang Meng, but whether it is scoring or assisting, whether it is shooting percentage or assist-to-error ratio, Wang Meng is undoubtedly an exception, all ranked in the top five in the league. This is no joke.

Although Oden can contribute an average of 15 points, 11 rebounds and 2 blocks per game after coming to the Hornets, and there are very few excellent centers in the league, there are also many people in this position, such as Pau Gasol's younger brother Mark Gasol, one of the biggest contributors to the Bulls leading the league, Joakim Noah, the Hawks' big forward Horford, Jazz boss Jefferson, etc., are all very good centers, but compared to these people, Oden has an advantage they don't have, Auden is the champion, and he is also a champion who was once called a parallel import, and once this gimmick is played, it is much more useful than Gasolnoah and others.

In addition to these awards, it is also worth mentioning that the league scoring champion continues to be picked by Durant, which is the third consecutive year that he has won the scoring title, this time he averaged 28 points per game, although not high, but close to 50 percent shooting rate is enough for him to hold this honor.

The assist king is Rondo, who narrowly beat Wang Meng's 11.3 assists with 11.8 assists and became the league's assist leader for the first time.

The rebounding champion was Howard, who averaged 14 rebounds per game to beat Love with 13.5 rebounds and regained the title of rebounding king in Los Angeles.
