The game between the Timberwolves and the Celtics is over, and Zhuang Fei's opinion on the NBA's strongest team in the post-game press conference was once again in the spotlight.

It's just that at this time, Zhuang Fei no longer cares about the discussion caused by his remarks.

"Hey, Jazz really lost."

Minnesota Timberwolves head coach's office Zhuang Fei picked up the newspaper in his hand and saw the Jazz and Mavericks in the far corner of the newspaper.

"Coach, although the Jazz lost their ranking in the second half of the game, I always thought that they could still squeeze out the Trail Blazers in the end, but now it seems that they really can't do it" Stephen Green also shook his head, obviously he was also a little surprised.

"Yes, I didn't expect this team to come to an end" Zhuang Fei finally closed the newspaper and sighed slightly, feeling a little melancholy in his heart, the Jazz is now falling, plus the Bulls and Rockets that have fallen before, the three strongest teams in the 90s of the last century are all gone, the NBA has really ushered in its own new era, and he himself is now leading the tide of this era.

2000-2001 is an extremely important season for the NBA, not only because of the unprecedented run led by the Lakers and Timberwolves, the competition between these two teams this season is of course the main theme of this season, it can be said that the storm of the two teams this season has almost eclipsed all the people or all teams in the NBA. Of course, this storm can overshadow everything, and it can also cover up a lot of things. For example, this season has formed a new pattern in the NBA for the first time in more than a decade.

This season has been extremely bitter for the 1984 generation or the pan-1984 generation. This group has been the ruler of the NBA for the past decade or so, and they have swept almost every championship and all the individual accolades of the last decade. But it is clear that today, they will really completely withdraw from the stage of history, and they will be replaced by the rising Pan 96 generation.

In the final round of the NBA, many people were concerned about whether the Timberwolves could break the best record in the history that the Lakers had just set, and almost everyone focused on the Timberwolves and Celtics game, while the Utah Jazz's home game against the Mavericks in the other game played at the same time as this game was not cared for. This game is also a battle of life and death, with the Jazz sitting ninth so far this season, and only a home win over the sixth-placed Mavericks will give them a chance to qualify for the playoffs, and the Mavericks will have to beat the Jazz to retain their sixth spot and stagger the Lakers and Timberwolves.

Perhaps many years ago, no one would have thought that the Jazz would be fighting for a playoff spot under Malone and Stockton. What is the Jazz team for many older fans? This is one of the best teams in the West in the past ten years, and this team is also one of the greatest teams in history, even if the two leading players of this team are old, but in the predictions at the beginning of the season, no one would have thought that this team would miss the playoffs, their strength predictions were even in the top eight in the league at one time, and some even thought that they could have a top four hope even in the competitive West, which is the prestige they have accumulated over the past ten years, because no one would have thought about such a thing, Can't make the playoffs for the Jazz? Malone and Stockton can't make the playoffs? How is this possible?

But in fact it did happen, after a highlight-reel performance at the start of the season. The Jazz faced the sprinting Mavericks after the All-Star Game, and the Kings and other young teams completely lost their ability to parry, and their rankings were also surpassed by the Mavericks and Kings one after another, until they finally fell to the bottom and fell into the abyss. …,

In the final game against the Mavericks, the Jazz once wanted to change something, and they also wanted to control their own destiny, but when they really faced the Mavericks, they found that they were really old, and the former No. 1 power forward looked embarrassed under the impact of the Mavericks' new core this season, German Nowitzki, and in the whole game, the once best power forward let Nowitzki take 40 points and 19 rebounds on his head, Just like in 1999, he lost his glory as the No. 1 power forward in a crushing defeat to Duncan by the Spurs. This defeat made Malone lose the prestige that the Jazz have accumulated for more than ten years, and when this game is over, no one will believe that this team that once dominated the West can stand up again, and many people will think that it is time for this group of old guys to retire.

The Jazz is the last pillar of the Pan 84 generation, this is a well-known thing, Jordan retired, Olajuwon and Ewing aged early, and now the only players who can support this era are Stockton and Malone, and with the fall of the Jazz, it really represents the fall of the Pan 84 generation.

It was the end of an era and the fall of a dynasty.

In fact, just like now, when the media is still discussing Zhuang Fei's yesterday about 'who is the strongest team in history' and 'what are the standards for the strongest team in history', few people will notice the lonely back of a group of veterans in Salt Lake City, and no one will pay attention to the Pacers, who ranked first in the East last year, have actually become eighth in the East this year, and no one has noticed that the Mavericks and Kings have really risen.

Although there is not much attention, but this season's East and West have indeed undergone very drastic changes, the top three in the West this season and last season have not changed much, the Timberwolves, the Lakers have both created historical records, and now these two teams are the real kings of the NBA, and the Grizzlies are close behind, this season the Grizzlies have also won a 65-17 record under the leadership of Carter, which is actually the best record in the history of the Grizzlies, and these three teams are indeed superior, And after these three teams, the West has almost undergone a seismic change.

Last season's eighth ranked Kings in the West under the leadership of Webb actually climbed to the fourth place in the West, this team is the third best team in the NBA this season, especially this season Adelman will 1996 rookie Peja to the team's core lineup after the team has undergone qualitative changes under the leadership of Bibby, Peja and Webb, and Adelman's Princeton system has also been truly verified, this is a system that can win, just like the triangle offense and running and shooting.

Of course, it is surprising that the Kings are ranked fourth, but after all, this team has a superstar like Webb in the year of play, and such results can be predicted, the King's success is actually a little late in the eyes of some people, Webber should have produced results a long time ago, but compared with the Kings, the Mavericks are a little surprising, this last season's lottery team actually beat the Suns, Trail Blazers, Jazz, SuperSonics in one fell swoop in the West, a place of competition and inspiration, and then made it to sixth in the West, It's arguably the league's biggest dark horse of the season. And the Mavericks' German averaged 22 points and 8 rebounds per game this season, making this young interior one of the top interior players in the league at once.

In addition to the Kings and Mavericks who have undergone great changes, the Spurs in the West this season still maintain a high level, in fact, the Spurs who joined Stephen Smith this year should have increased in strength, but in fact, because of the overall strength of the West, the competition faced by the Spurs is also very large, although they retained the fifth position, but in the end they were almost surpassed by the sixth Mavericks, You must know that Duncan's average data per game this season is 28 points, 12 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 3 blocks and 1.5 steals, which is Duncan's best and most tiring year after entering the NBA, this player has averaged 40 minutes per game this season, and the league's best power forward is the first in the Spurs in all five statistics, everyone knows that Duncan has this strength, but being able to make Duncan do his best in the regular season also shows that the Spurs are indeed very dangerous. …,

The Spurs retained their fifth spot with Duncan, while the Trail Blazers were completely down, with a team that was in turmoil all but missing the playoffs this season, while the seventh-placed Suns were disappointed once again, and the super-combination of Kidd and Hardaway will once again face the Lakers in the playoffs. The Trail Blazers and Suns were disappointing, but these two teams still barely managed to keep their playoff spots, and the most disappointing SuperSonics were Wearing, with Weinbeck and the Gorillas missing the playoffs again and finishing 10th in the West. This is also the third year in a row that the SuperSonics have missed the playoffs.

Compared with the upside-down of the West, the East seems to be a little uneventful, although the Pacers lost the Dutch big center Smiters at the beginning of the season, which makes them lack an offensive fulcrum on the inside, and the strength of the team declines, but other Eastern teams still maintain their own standards, and there are still so many strong teams in the East, but because of the fall of the Pacers, everyone's ranking has changed.

Of course, the 76ers' record of winning the first place in the East under the leadership of Iverson and Mutombo this season is also a bit surprising, after all, everyone is more optimistic about the fire at the beginning of the season, and the fire is only ranked second under the 76ers this season, as for the third place in the East is the Bucks led by the three-shot musketeers, and the Knicks, who lost the gorilla, are ranked fourth, and the Charlotte Hornets, who have been chasing Zhuang Fei, continue to rank fifth this season. The Magic, who gained Grant Hill, although Hill missed most of the games, is still ranked sixth, and the most surprising thing this season is undoubtedly the Nets led by Marbury, which finally reached the playoffs under the leadership of Marbury, beating the Pacers in seventh place.
