Chapter 437: The Regular Season is Over, First in the East!

On April 7, the Cavaliers defeated the Charlotte Hornets 124-98, and then defeated the New York Knicks 110-98 at home on April 9, ending the final leg of the regular season with a wave of five consecutive wins, without giving the Nets any chance to overtake.

In the end, the Cavaliers' regular season record was fixed at 55-27, a 67 percent winning rate, and the Brooklyn Nets, who were close behind in the East, were 53-29 with a 64.6 percent winning rate.

The Golden State Warriors, who topped the Western Conference record, have a 57-25 record of 69.5% and managed to overtake the Cavaliers to take the top spot in the league after All-Star Weekend.

In previous seasons, the winning rate of the early 70% could only rank in the fourth or fifth position in the league at most, but the Warriors became the team with the first record in the league with this winning rate, which shows the chaos of the overall form of the league in the 2021-22 season.

There is no particularly outstanding team, and several strong teams only compete with each other, and the competition is extremely fierce.

This is completely different from another time and space at the same time.

In the 2021-22 season that Wang Feng crossed over, the Phoenix Suns were the well-deserved hegemons of the regular season, and in the shortened season due to the mask incident, the Suns won 64-18, with a winning rate of 78%, and were the only team in the league with a winning rate of more than 70%.

They were followed by the rising Memphis Grizzlies led by Morant, with a 56-26 regular season record and a 68.3% winning rate, followed by the Golden State Warriors with 53-29.

As for the East, the top-ranked Miami Heat is only 53-29.

But in this time and space where Wang Feng is located, because of the butterfly effect caused by him, the entire alliance is completely different from another time and space.

The Suns are without Chris. Paul, in German alone. Booker and Ayton's partnership is only a fringe team in the playoffs, and they still lost in the fierce competition in the West and directly missed the playoffs.

As for the Memphis Grizzlies, they were tempted by the Cavaliers' offer in the summer to take Desmond, who was supposed to be the No. 2 scorer on the team. Bane was traded away from the team, and the overall strength was affected, and he only finished the regular season with a 41-41 record, ranking eighth in the West.

As for the Los Angeles duo, the Clippers' James and Leonard dragged Wei Shao's oil bottle, and the Lakers were not as good as last year because of the impact of Wang Feng's departure.

The eight teams in the Western Conference that have made the playoffs are ranked in order of record, following the Warriors, Pelicans, Lakers, Jazz, Clippers, Nuggets, Mavericks and Grizzlies.

The Timberwolves in ninth place and the Suns in tenth place are only one win away from the Grizzlies, and it is a pity to lose the playoff contenders.

Or because of the mask incident, the league was restructured, and there was originally a play-off game to determine the final playoff spots in the seventh, eighth, and ninth and tenth places in another time and space, but there was no such changed system in this time and space.

Regarding how fierce the battle between a group of strong enemies in the west will be, Wang Feng doesn't care for the time being, he has only one goal in front of him, that is, to win the eastern championship and complete the upgrade task of the system.

Until then, he won't think about anything, not even an NBA championship.

The eight playoff teams on the Eastern Conference are the Cavaliers, Nets, Celtics, Bucks, 76ers, Raptors, Bulls, and Hawks in order of record.

Among them, the Celtics, Bucks and 76ers have exactly the same record, all 51-31, but due to the division and win-loss relationship, the Celtics have become the third in the East.

Judging from the overall record, the East is obviously not weaker than the West in terms of winning rate and strength, and it is precisely because of the existence of many strong teams that the winning rate of each team this season is not very high, because they have lost a lot of games.

And the Cavaliers were able to stand out in the fierce competition and become the top of the Eastern Conference, and Wang Feng's credit is impossible to ignore in any way.

Played 80 games in the regular season, averaged 33.6 points, 13.4 rebounds and 12.7 assists in 38 minutes per game, averaged a triple-double per game, shot 56% from the field, 47% from three-point range, and 91% from the free throw line, and entered the 180 club steadily.

In addition, Wang Feng averaged 2.4 steals per game, and has been the league steal king for N consecutive years, although the average block per game of 1.3 times is not high, but as a 2.01 meter forward, it is a very high value.

In terms of advanced data, Wang Feng is even more exaggerated, and the PER efficiency value ranks first in the league and is far ahead of everyone.

According to professional and technical statistics, when Wang Feng is on the court, whether he holds the ball or does not have the ball, the efficiency of the Cavaliers' offensive and defensive ends will increase significantly, which is obviously due to Wang Feng's two purple Hall of Fame-level core badges - the bonus effect of the organizational core and defensive core to teammates, but this is not known to outsiders, so they all think that it is because Wang Feng is too powerful that this will happen.

Therefore, although the average score of 34.6 points per game is the lowest average score per game of Wang Feng in the past five years, no one thinks that Wang Feng's scoring ability has declined, on the contrary, Wang Feng is obviously stronger than before, and even so strong that he no longer needs to use personal data to help the team win, but to improve the overall strength of the whole team by making his teammates better.

This can be seen from several Cavaliers players led by Love, Poole, and Bane.

Lefu played 78 games in the regular season, averaging 30 minutes per game and contributing 17.5 points and 8.7 rebounds, allowing Cavaliers fans to see the healthy and excellent Lefu again, not only that, under Wang Feng's strong outside containment and passing assist ability, Lefou's offensive firepower outside the three-point line was further developed, and his 40% three-point shooting rate can hit 3 three-pointers per game.

As long as Love continues to maintain this state, he can definitely get a decent renewal offer when his old contract expires.

Although Poole and Bane are slightly worse than Love data, they are both stable in 15+ points, especially Bane, who shoots as much as 45% from beyond the three-point line, which is 2 percentage points higher than the 43% in another time and space, which is of course also the credit of Wang Feng's organizational core and ten-cent badge.

Poole's three-point shooting is slightly worse, shooting just 38 percent from three-point range, and he's not an outside shooter who shoots three-pointers himself, but as the starting point guard for the Cavaliers in the regular season, Poole did a good job.

This summer, Poole's rookie contract will expire, and with the ability that Poole has shown so far, there is a good chance that he will get a big contract close to 100 million yuan.

Wang Feng didn't know that in another time and space, Jordan. Poole will eventually sign a four-year, $140 million contract with the Warriors, of course, Poole in another time and space has a better performance in terms of personal data, and it can't be completely compared, but even so, considering Poole's age and future development potential, the Cavaliers' contract extension offer will definitely not be too cheap.

The three players in the Cavaliers who have benefited the most because of Wang Feng are Love, Poole and Bane, but the other role players have also made good gains.

Little Otto. Porter, as the starting small forward of the Cavaliers, although his personal performance is average, averaging only 8.6 points and 5.6 rebounds per game, his 39% three-point shooting rate and excellent defense make him firmly in the position of the Cavaliers' starting small forward, and he is recognized as an excellent role player.

Ethes. Curry, Malik. The three-point shooters on the bench represented by Monk are also because of Wang Feng, and their three-point shooting percentage and shooting opportunities have increased greatly, and they have all played classic individual performances in the regular season.

Among the players who got in the summer, the only one whose stats did not increase compared to before was center Jarrett who was poached for 5 years and 100 million dollars. Alan.

Last season with the Nets, Jarrett Brown. Allen also averaged a double-double of 11.2 points and 10.4 rebounds per game and was the team's main starting center.

But after coming to the Cavaliers, Jarret. Allen, on the other hand, can only play as a substitute centre-forward, and only occasionally gets a chance to start in certain situations.

With an average playing time of only about 25 minutes per game, Jarrett . Allen averaged 7.2 points and 6.8 rebounds per game, a significant decline from last season.

This makes Jarrett. Allen was a little unhappy, after all, he signed a 5-year 100 million contract with the team, and when he came, he had the idea of wanting to make a career and achievements, but he could only serve as a substitute center, and anyone would have an idea.

But his thoughts are not important, and even the vast majority of people in the Cavaliers, including the head coach's ideas, are dispensable, and what Wang Feng thinks is the most important thing.

If Wang Feng, who first came to the Cavaliers, was already a transcendent existence in the team who even had more say than the general manager, then with the end of this season, the Cavaliers jumped from the bottom of the East to the first in the East, and no one in the Cavaliers would question Wang Feng's decision.

But as long as the management of the Cavaliers team, no one is unclear that the current Cavaliers team is completely built in accordance with Wang Feng's ideas and requirements, including tactics, the head coach only has the right to suggest, as long as Wang Feng gets the ball on the field, he can play how he wants.

It's very simple, as long as you can win, you can win, then nothing is a problem.

Wang Feng was able to get everything easily.

Of course, in the same way, if one day, the Cavaliers lose the victory, then all the privileges that Wang Feng once obtained will also be taken back.

It's a bit far, Jarret. Although Allen is a little dissatisfied with his tactical position in the team, he is not the champion after all, nor is he an All-Star who has played a valuable role, so he naturally lacks confidence, and euphemistically expressed his thoughts to head coach Bickerstaff.

The Cavaliers, who are the first in the East, will face in the first round of the playoffs. The Atlanta Hawks led by Young.

The Hawks have always been one of the powerhouses in the East, but what really made a difference to this team was the guard Trey who was drafted in '18. Poplar.

Trey, who is 1.88 meters tall. Young was not favored at first because of his height, so the draft pick fell to the fifth pick. Yang explained what it means to be a hero, and he doesn't ask to speak out.

He averaged 19 points, 3.7 rebounds and 8.1 assists per game in his rookie season, becoming one of the strongest contenders for Rookie of the Year, and although he lost to the Mavericks' Luka Doncic in the end, he has already made many people remember his name.

But after coming to the Cavaliers, Jarret. Allen, on the other hand, can only play as a substitute centre-forward, and only occasionally gets a chance to start in certain situations.

With an average playing time of only about 25 minutes per game, Jarrett . Allen averaged 7.2 points and 6.8 rebounds per game, a significant decline from last season.
