Chapter 236 [The Regular Season Ends, First in the League]

In April, the regular season came to a close.

The Nets beat the Knicks 108-82 at home.

No matter how the media finds fault with their lineup and doesn't look forward to them winning the championship, their record leads the league, and only the Pacers are struggling to catch up in the East.

The outlook for the west is currently in limbo. The Lakers, Timberwolves, Kings, and Spurs have a similar record, and everyone has the potential to become the No. 1.

The king would have been the most advantageous, but no one thought of Chris? After Webb's return, the team's win rate dropped instead.

When people thought that the Kings without Webb would struggle for a playoff spot, Peja, Miller, and Bibby, who were in excellent form, led the Kings to play vigorously and ranked first in the West for a long time, and the Serbian Negros gradually established themselves as the new leader of the king.

Although the returning Webber scored 26 points and 12 rebounds in his first appearance, it turned out that he was no longer the all-powerful "king" he used to be, and it was not easy for Peja to hand over the throne he had just sat on.

After Weber's comeback, in order to seize power with Peja, the style of play has become very unique, especially the cooperation with Peja is completely inseparable, the performance of the two is okay, but the team is no longer a whole, and the boss battle is intensifying.

The return of the superstar and the team's drop from first place in the West to fourth looks eerie and actually proves the importance of togetherness.

That's the biggest advantage of the Nets, they don't have superstars, but they're the most united of all the teams. Everyone is happy to share the ball and get the ball to run as much as possible and form a combination.

On the 3rd, the Nets defeated the Eagles.

Send Rashid away? After Wallace. The Hawks' interior offense is completely deserted, relying on Terry and Stephen? Jackson's perimeter offense held up.

They know there is no hope for the playoffs. Now it's a mess, and the chances of winning a good pick in the draft are greater.

Then. The Nets suffered back-to-back upset losses to the Bucks at home.

Reed and Damon Jones exploded, hitting consecutive three-pointers in the opening quarter, and the margin widened to 27 points in the second quarter.

The Nets tried to catch up in the second half, but they fell behind too much and couldn't climb out of the pit.

After beating the Devils, the Nets lost to the Pacers, and the record between the two teams narrowed to just one game.

Kidd played out of sorts, scoring just six points and six assists in the game, without his playmaking. The Nets are another team.

After that, the Nets won all of them, 62-20 to end the regular season, achieving the best record in the league.

The Pacers lost another game to the Heat, finishing second in the East with 60 wins and 22 losses. They had to meet the Pistons in the second round and play a tough series.

The Nets achieved their goal, and the first two rounds were a little easier, and they had a physical advantage. It's also crucial to have full home-court advantage in the playoffs.

The Pistons were third, and Rashid joined to improve their strength, but they fell too far behind in the early stage. Can't catch up.

The Pistons' defense in the second half was so impressive that it could even be called terrifying.

They won on defense, averaging 90.1 points per game and conceding 84.3 points per game. After getting Rashid. They have scored less than 75 points in many games.

In comparison, the Nets are balanced offensively and defensively, averaging 98.1 points per game. Lost 89.6 points.

The Heat, who were not favored at the beginning of the season, finished fourth, and Wade also made the playoffs.

Hornets fifth. The Bucks are sixth, and the Knicks are seventh. Celtic eighth.

It is worth mentioning that the Cavaliers played a wave of consecutive wins in the second half and almost reversed to enter the playoffs, only one short of the Celtics.

It's not that the Cavaliers have a high win rate, it's that it's too easy for the East to make the playoffs.

The Celtics are 36-46 and have a winning rate of only 43.9% to enter the playoffs, which is at the bottom of the West, not as good as the Warriors and the SuperSonics.

After the results were announced, Abby was smiling when she interviewed James, and she was finally able to go back to New York.

James, on the other hand, was crying and in a terrible mood.

Stars not making the playoffs are a stain for a lifetime.

James has great ambitions, entering the league not only to become a superstar, but also to fight for the future to break various records, and he missed the playoffs in his first season.

The East nine to fifteen are the Cavaliers, Raptors, 76ers, Hawks, Wizards, Bulls, and Magic.

Maddy averaged 28 points per game to become the scoring leader, and the Magic still became the league's vice president, including a wave of 19 consecutive losses.

Half of the reason for this bad fight comes from management, and half of it comes from Maddie. As the core leader of the team, no matter how cheating the management is, he should not be sloppy.

The good thing is that the Magic are infinitely close to the top pick, and their strength will definitely improve significantly next season.

The Bulls' second-to-last finish was pure bad luck, and Jay Williams was reimbursed after playing one season, and the team continued to suffer injuries during the season, otherwise they might have become a strong team this year.

The final standings are only decided in the last two rounds of the West.

The Timberwolves won first place in the West with 58 wins and 24 losses, and the "three-headed monster" combination got off to a good start.

Garnett's stats were luxurious, scoring and rebounding two career highs, with 24.2 points, 13.9 rebounds, 5 assists, 1.5 steals and 2.2 blocks.

With Superman's stats, Garnett has almost locked up the regular season MVP, even though the Timberwolves have only the third record in the league.

Kidd had 12.9 points, 6 rebounds, 10.6 assists and 1.8 steals.

O'Neal Jr.'s 20.1 points, 10 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 2.6 blocks are also a lot worse than the "Wolf King".

The second to eighth are the Lakers, Spurs, Kings, Mavericks, Grizzlies, Rockets, and Nuggets.

At present, the NBA league is divided into two divisions, East and West, each with two divisions.

The Spurs have one more win than the Lakers, 57-25, and they are helpless to be in the same district as the Timberwolves, and the Lakers are the first in the division, ranking ahead of the Spurs with a 56-win record.

The West has had a lot of upsets this year, with the Grizzlies and Rockets both new to the playoffs.

The Nuggets led the Jazz by one game, going 43-39 and making the playoffs.

With similar stats to James, the Nuggets have a better record, and on the surface, Anthony is likely to win the Rookie of the Year award.

In fact, he has missed out on the best rookie because he is far less popular than James.

On March 19, Anthony did something stupid that tarnished his image when he refused to play for the Nuggets in the fourth quarter against the Pistons.

Who would like a rookie to be so willful? Jordan called and told Anthony that he was very disappointed in him. People can be arrogant, but when they have qualifications, Anthony does not have this kind of capital at present.

The Nuggets made the playoffs and it was not Anthony's credit alone, the team has Camby, Andre Miller, Nene and others, who are not bad, and his core position in the team is still up for debate.

The nine to fourteenth places in the West are: Jazz, Trail Blazers, Warriors, SuperSonics, Suns, Clippers.

Regular season stat honors have been determined.

Maddy, the scoring king, Garnett, the assist king, the Kidd king, the blocking king, Ratliff, averaged 3.6 per game, and the steal king Byron Davis averaged 2.4 times per game.

Wang Jun's final statistics were 15.7 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1 assist and 0.5 steals, with a shooting rate of 44.5% from the field, a three-point shooting rate of 40.3%, and only 5 blocks in the whole season, which can be ignored.

His stats are down from the first half, and overall he is the best among rookies and is likely to be named to the All-Rookie team.

For Wang Jun personally, even if the Nets are out of the playoffs, it can be regarded as a bumper season. (To be continued.) )
