On April 25, 2005, the NBA's 2004-05 regular season came to an end when the Rockets and Wizards, Heat and Bulls, Bucks and Knicks, Celtics and Pacers were over.

At two o'clock in the morning on the 26th, the NBA Statistics Committee listed the playoff schedule on its official website, and some statistics were also released.

The team with the best record this season is the Suns, and after Nash took over Phoenix, he immediately built this last season's fish belly into the No. 1 team in the West today. With Nash alone, the Suns' record immediately improved by 36 games from last season, the second highest increase in NBA history.

The teams that entered the playoffs in the West were: Suns with 62 wins, Spurs with 59 wins, Seattle SuperSonics with 52 wins, Dallas Mavericks with 58 wins, Houston Rockets with 51 wins, Sacramento Kings with 50 wins, Denver Nuggets with 49 wins, and Memphis Grizzlies with 47 wins.

In terms of record, the Dallas Mavericks are far better than the Seattle SuperSonics, but the NBA's ranking is not only based on the record, but also considers the divisional position, the Spurs, Mavericks, Rockets, and Grizzlies are all in the Southwest Division, which is also the most competitive place. The SuperSonics are in the Northwest Division, and they are the top players in the entire division, automatically securing a spot in the top three as long as they finish in the top four and qualify for the playoffs at home.

The ranking of the West is no different from Huaben's memory, he does not remember the specific ranking of the West. But remember that the Mavericks are fourth and the Rockets are fifth, and this series is going to be very tragic for the Rockets, who won two games in a row in Dallas, only to return home and lose two games in a row, and finally surrender the victory to Dallas.

The Eastern Conference playoff standings are: Miami Heat with 59 wins, Pistons with 56 wins, and Bobcats with new troops. With 55 wins, the Raptors are fourth with 50 wins. Fifth is the Bulls with 47 wins, sixth is the Pacers with 45 wins, and seventh is the Wizards with 44 wins. Eighth is the Celtics, who also have a record of 44 wins, but they lost two of their three games against the Wizards in the regular season, so they are behind the standings.

The Eastern standings have changed a lot from Huaben's memory, first of all, the 10,000-year-old fish belly Raptors relied on Okafor to rush into the top four, which made Huaben sigh for a long time: they hold the Raptors' first-round draft pick this year. The Raptors have changed a lot, and Carter has gone to New Jersey this season in history, and has gone to the outside with Kidd and Jefferson to shoot three shots, but now he is not gone. On the contrary, he has repeatedly expressed his loyalty in front of the media, claiming that he wants to stay with the Raptors and retire.

Nets cup, Kenyon. Martin went to Denver to form the 'Nimaby' group, and Kidd really wanted to scold 'Grass Nimaby', and now there is no one on the inside. Jefferson was injured on the outside, and he led the team alone, and the pressure was outrageous. The Nets made the playoffs in the first five seasons and the Finals two years, even last season until the Eastern Conference semifinals and lost to the Pistons. What about this season? I haven't even touched the hair of the playoffs!

Another change is the Pacers, who have been involved in the Auburn Hills palace brawl scandal this season. Artest and Jackson beat up the fans, and the former was banned for a season, and the team was completely ruined. But now it's different, Huaben's appearance has disrupted history, the game between the Pacers and the Pistons has been smooth sailing, mainly because Artest and Jackson will be lying in bed, and Huaben has also left the Pistons to come to the Bobcats, and there is no one to stir up trouble.

It is said that there is no player ban, so the Pacers' record should not be so bad, and the combination of O'Neal Jr. + Artest + Jackson is strong enough, and it is absolutely no problem to make the top three. However, the pair did not have many opportunities to be together this season, first Artest was sidelined for two months after being beaten by Warben with a concussion and broken ribs, and Jackson was injured by Warben with his latissimus dorsi and also rested for more than a month, during which the Pacers were led by O'Neal Jr. himself. As a result, Artest and Jackson both came back after the past two months, and O'Neal Jr. recurred from an old injury and was suspended. …,

However, Pacers fans don't think so, claiming that the team is deliberately messing up, just so that they can meet the Bobcats in the first round and teach the other party a hard lesson, otherwise when O'Neal Jr. returns later, the team is fully qualified to play fourth or fifth.

From the attitude of Pacers fans, you can see how deep the hatred between the two teams is now, the battle between the Pacers and the Bobcats is regarded as the most interesting game in the first round of the playoffs, TNT and ESPN snapped up the national broadcast rights of the two teams, and TNT's No. 1 big mouth Barkley swore that fans could see the largest playoff group fight in NBA history.

Barkley has always been a big mouth, and his words can be ignored, but one thing is certain, and that is that the battle between the Bobcats and the Pacers is definitely the most intense in the first round, and whoever wants to advance will have to step on the corpse of the other party.

Stern is both painful and happy right now, and the battle between the Bobcats and the Pacers has attracted unprecedented fan attention to the NBA, but the highlight is the last thing he likes, he doesn't want to see court violence in the NBA playoffs. To this end, the president took the time to watch the series and sent the best and strictest referees to blow these games.

The playoff schedule was followed by some of the easiest honors to count: numeric-only honors.

The leading scorer in the NBA2004-05 season was Warburn, who averaged 35.4 points per game, far ahead of Allen Iverson, who was next behind with 30.2 points.

The assist king is now Steve. Nash, with an average of 12 per game, is now a true sun god, dazzling, and he is considered the most influential star in NBA history after transfer, surpassing Chamberlain Zhang Erwan and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. On the MVP voting list, he and Hua Ben have been so good this season, and one has helped the team improve by nearly 40 wins. turned the Suns, last season's fish belly, into the No. 1 record this season; The other is the new image spokesperson of the league, leading a new army to the third place in the East, and Huaben's teammates are inferior to the Suns, not to mention that Huaben has too many honors this season.

Huaben's other accolade is the rebounding title, where he averages a terrifying 17.8 rebounds per game, followed by Garnett, who averages only 13 per game. Furthermore. Wajben is also the king of blocks, averaging 5.1 per game, and behind him is AK47 Kirilenko. There are 3.2 caps per game.

The steal king is Larry. Hughes, who averages 2.9 per game, has a pair of fast hands. The second is Iverson. With an average of 2.6 per game, third is Patin with 2.4 per game.

Judging from the data, Waben is a stable winner of Nash, although the latter is the assist king, but he is not sitting steadily, Wahben's younger brother Patin is averaging 11.6 assists per game, chasing after his ass. Huaben's every honor was won with an absolute advantage, averaging 35+17+5 per game, and he also set an NBA record (there were no block statistics in the Chamberlain era).

This season, Huaben has been a complete success. It's not without players who can win the scoring title, rebounding title, and block king in a single season, such as Olajuwon and O'Neal, they have all had such honors, but considering the All-Star Game MVP, the almost certain regular season MVP, and the fact that he still leads a group of new troops in the battle. Then this is very valuable.

On April 27, 2005, the day before the start of the NBA playoffs, the Statistics Committee announced the best coach of the season. D'Antoni. This upset Jordan, who is also a candidate. Although they were all given to Michael, that Michael was not his Michael. Jordan.

"What am I not doing well enough? That guy has three All-Stars under his hands, what about me? Damn, my shit, I even have two? Okay, Wang, don't look at me with that damn look, I didn't say you're not an All-Star. All in all,, I'm upset! Jordan was furious when he learned that the honor had gone to his family, but he found out in the training gym at the time, so the Bobcats players were. …,

"Kill the damn Pacers in the playoffs and then go to the Finals, and if the Phoenix guy is lucky enough to get in, then we're going to fuck him hard and let the guys on the voting committee keep their eyes open to see who the best coach is!" Jordan growled.

"Kill the Pacers, take out the Suns, and win the championship!" The Bobcats players screamed out of breath.

At four o'clock in the morning on April 28, a new honor was born on the official website, that is, the NBA's rookie lineup: the composition of the rookie first team is Emeka of the Raptors. Okafor, Dwight of the Magic. Howard, Ben of the Bulls. Gordon and Lore. Deng, as well as Iguodala of the Bobcats.

The NBA rookie second team has the New Jersey Nets' Nenard. Kertic, Josh of the Hawks. Smith and Josh. Childis, the two guards are Tony of the Bobcats. Aaron and Kevin. Martin.

The rookie king's accolades changed, as Iguodala averaged 16 points, seven rebounds, five assists and two steals per game to beat Okafor's 14.7 points and 8.5 rebounds. In fact, judging from the data and records, Okafor is not bad at all, mainly because Iguodala's appearance rate is too high, and on the rookie All-Star, he is in the limelight in the slam dunk contest and is known as the most creative dunk king in NBA history.

Moreover, Okafor has the disadvantage of only playing 65 games compared to Iguodala, who has played 82 games, and he missed a lot of games with injuries during the All-Star period.

In the face of the upcoming playoffs, these accolades are floating clouds, and not many people pay attention, especially in Charlotte, where fans are attracted to the playoffs. The game did attract a large number of fans as predicted by the media, and the 22,000 tickets for the Time Warner Center were sold out within an hour and a half of the sale, and countless fans were stranded outside the stadium in frustration.

Back on April 26, the Pacers came to Charlotte, where local fans showcased North Carolina's frenetic basketball vibe, and the bus reportedly couldn't move a single step after leaving the airport for half an hour, and the fans cordoned them off. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
