The rankings on the western side have also been settled.

The Golden State Warriors accelerated the run-in within the team after the "Christmas War", and the whole team has since been described as "people block killing, Buddha blocking and killing Buddha", and finally won 70 victories!

This is still the result of their deliberate rotation at the end of the season.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to win 73 again.

It's just that Steve Kerr hasn't forgotten that last season, in order to break the best record in the history of the regular season, he still tried to win every game at the end of the season, but in the finals last season, when he played Game 4 and Game 5 of the series, the fitness of the whole team began to have problems.

Instead, because of his 73-9 record, he was nailed to the pillar of shame......

This time, after determining the No. 1 ranking in the West, he was very decisive in using the end of the season to let the Warriors rest their bunch.

Stephen Curry and LeBron James have given enough rest.

It's all about winning this year's O'Brien Cup!

In second place is the New Orleans Hornets.

There are plenty of super teams this season, with the Golden State Warriors in the west, the Chicago Bulls in the east, and the defending champion Columbus Explorers. But the New Orleans Hornets still maintained their momentum, and finally got a record of 65 wins, although there is a gap of nearly 5 games with the Golden State Warriors, but with the Bulls and top teams like the Columbus Explorers, there is only a 2-game gap, they do not have the background of the championship, and there is no superstar like the Bulls.

Various media reports in New Orleans tell that it is not easy for New Orleans this year, of course, the purpose is naturally so that James Harden can win this year's regular season MVP trophy.

It's just that compared to the beginning of the season, most of the media were optimistic about James Harden's rise as a new force, and now the media opinion is not only focused on him.

As the dust settles on the top eight in the East and West.

The rankings of this season's big data lists have also come to an end.

Li Wan began to explode this season in January, averaging nearly 40 points per game in February and March......

However, because the average points per game in November and December were not high, in the end, Li Wan's average points per game this season was "only" 37.8 points. narrowly defeated Westbrook, who averaged 36.5 points per game, and won the "scoring title" again.

This is the sixth time in his career that he has won the "Top Scorer"!

It is still 4 times away from Michael Jordan's 10 "scoring titles"!

Looking at the leopard in the tube, you can see how fierce Michael Jordan's firepower was back then......

However, think about it, if the GOAT is so good and comprehensively surpassed, it is not the GOAT!

You must know that it has been 70 years since the NBA developed, and it has only been more than 70 years since such a goat was released...... It's weird not to be awesome!

But after Li Wan won the 6th championship trophy in his career, the media agreed that Li Wan has a high probability of equaling this record, after all, Li Wan, who is 17 years old, is only 29 years old, and if he is calculated according to his date of birth, he is still 100 days away from being 29 years old.

After another 4 consecutive years, Li Wan will only be 33 years old at that time, he is not a reckless man who can only break through, his projection ability, and all aspects of skills are perfectly developed, there is no decline in scoring ability due to technical problems, at least not before the age of 33......

Of course, there is another precondition, Li Wan must not have major injuries.

At this point, judging from the current situation, Li Wan is undoubtedly also an "iron man"!

In fact, it's so important for a player to realize his potential and exploit his ceiling.

In addition to averaging 37.8 points per game, Lee has 10.9 rebounds and 7.9 assists, as well as 3.1 steals and 1.8 blocks this season.

Averaging 10.9 rebounds per game is the 10th best in the league.

In terms of assists, the decline is a bit great, but it can still be ranked 6th in the league.

Avaging 3.1 steals per game made Li Wan win the "steal king" for the third time in his career.

With an average of 1.8 blocks per game, it can also rank 8th in the league.

It also makes Li Wan the only player to rank in the top 10 of the league in all five statistics this season.

If you count the data of the two "kings", it is quite explosive in the entire history.

Obviously, even if he plays the "give the ball to Li Wan tactic" based on his personal attack, Li Wan can still contribute all-round statistics.

Also, it has been so many years that Li Wan is used to it.

The "rebounding king" ultimately belongs to Whiteside, who averaged 14.1 rebounds per game, and he is also the only player to average more than 14 rebounds per game this season.

Given that the Heat didn't even make the playoffs this season, Whiteside, the "king of rebounds", has enough water to make 10,000 Heat fans surf on it.

The "assist king" belongs to James Harden, who is the first "assist king" of his career, averaging 11.9 assists per game.

From the No. 2 position to the No. 1 position, James Harden's adaptability can really be adapted with "amazing".

Of course, there are also many media outlets who attribute this to D'Antoni, calling James Harden "another masterpiece of D'Antoni".

However, behind the average of 11.9 assists per game, there is a shocking average of 5.7 turnovers per game!

But considering that he himself is not from the traditional No. 1 position, coupled with the amazing offensive and defensive conversion speed of the New Orleans Hornets, it is actually quite normal to average 5.7 turnovers on the field.

Didn't look at his "good third brother", Westbrook, who won the title of "Little Leewan" this season, also averaged 5.4 turnovers per game, followed closely behind, ranked second?

The "King of Blocks" belongs to Rudy Gortat, who averages 2.6 per game.

The French are still on their toes.

But it can also be seen from his average number of blocks per game that in the current league, with the tactical status of three-point shots being improved, the entire space is pulled very large, and it is no longer a simple thing to complete the block.

And then there's the three-point list......

Li Wan amazed everyone again.

The season's final three-track total was a whopping 354, which ranks first in the league.

You must know that Li Wan has only played a total of 69 games this season......

Even if he only plays a full 80 games, he will get 410 three-pointers in terms of Li Wan's average of 5.13 three-pointers, so Li Wan will project more than 400 three-pointers for two consecutive seasons!

The three-point state of the fierce Mengmeng is simply amazing!

The whole league is saying that the Warriors' "Death Five" has driven the trend of playing style throughout the league, especially in the three-point tactical position, which is even more historic.

But now it seems......

It's true that the Warriors pushed the trend, but they released a "big devil"!

If it was 14 years ago, I am afraid that no one would have thought that Li Wan's three-point shooting ability could reach such a perverted level!

In addition to the average number of three-pointers per game and the average three-point shooting per game, Li Wan's three-point shooting rate also dominates the list, and he can contribute an average of 46.5% three-point shooting rate per game!

How exaggerated is this statistic?

Let's put it this way, in the last two seasons of Kobe's career, his average shooting percentage per game is not as good as Li Wan's average three-point shooting rate this season......

Bryant:???

In other words, from efficiency to quantity to average output per game, Li Wan has completed the "one-stop" domination of the list, making the three-point shot another synonym for him!

Barkley described it as: "The new GOAT of the League has conquered areas that the old GOAT never conquered!"

As a result, that night, Michael Jordan sent him an "encrypted call"!

In addition, on the "Iron Strike List", Westbrook leads the league with a total output of 1,115 pieces of "iron", with an average output of 13.8 pieces per game.

Seeing this data, Li Wandang even "realized"!

No wonder Kobe Bryant said that Westbrook is most like him in this league!

Seashell......

It's too much like that!

It is worth mentioning that the second place in the list of iron per game is called "DeMar DeRozan"!

Well......

Another guy who idolizes Kobe Bryant .......

Li Wandang sent screenshots of the names of the first and second names on the "Iron List" to Kobe Bryant, and specially marked the number of iron strikers of the two people: Look, as soon as you leave, this alliance is all you!

was so angry that Kobe Bryant immediately pulled up the "Little Black Mamba" and urged him to start practicing: "Two more groups, two more groups, when can I hold on to dribbling the ball under the crotch for 5 minutes, and then rest!"

Today, the "Little Black Mamba", who has practiced 10 sets of crotch dribbles, has a wrinkled face.

This dad is so terrible that he wants to complain to his "godfather"!

As Li Wan wished, "Little Black Mamba" began to miss him as a "godfather......

The nostalgia was so great that Li Wan even sneezed.

On April 14th, the first award of the season had the final result, and the NBA "Best Rookie" in the 16~17 season finally belonged to ...... Malcolm Brogdon!

There has been no suspense about this award since March.

But when the award was announced, the media still carried out a lot of coverage.

The story of Brogdon was instantly spread throughout the streets of the United States......

Brogdon winning this award not only gave Columbus their first "Rookie of the Year" in history, but he also set an NBA record, he is the first player to win this award as a second-round pick since the NBA had the "Rookie of the Year Award"!

Brog

Deng uploaded a photo of himself with the "Best Rookie" trophy for the first time, and thanked Li Wan on Twitter: I can become the final "Best Rookie", which is inseparable from Li Wan's help.

He also uploaded a picture of himself and Li Wan playing heads-up in private.

Soon Li Wan commented below:

Man, don't make it any more like you've succeeded! And also...... In the photo, why are you taking a frontal photo, and I only have a back?

Implying that I'm giving you a "backdrop", right?

The comment quickly attracted a large number of comments:

"It's a real hammer, Brogro actually wants to be a big brother!"

"Shocked, there has long been a conflict within the Columbus Explorers, and the reason is ......."

"It can be seen that Brogdon has been dissatisfied with Li Wan for a long time!"

……

Not to mention, there are really media who regard this as evidence of Columbus's "incompatibility within the team", and make up a mysterious list of contradictions within the explorer's team.

In addition to the "Rookie of the Year", the league also announced the "Sixth Man of the Year" award for this season, and Louis Williams, who averaged 14.9 points per game, became the "Sixth Man of the Year" for the first time.

At the same time, the media has made predictions for the eight sets of matchups between the East and the West.

As the dust settles on the quarterfinals of the East and West, there is also a final roster for the eight groups of matchups in this year's playoffs.

In the East, the first-place Columbus Explorers faced the eighth-place Milwaukee Bucks; The second-place Bulls faced the Hawks, who "survived the dead"; third-place Celtics vs Menglong; The fourth-place Nets are up against the Wizards;

The four matchups on the Western side are Warriors vs. Kings; Hornets vs. Thunder; Trail Blazers vs. Clippers; Spurs vs. Grizzlies;

Due to the large gap in strength between the east and the west this year, in the eyes of the media, there will not be too many anxious situations in the first round of this year, and it is estimated that there will be many "4-0" situations.

This also makes these 8 sets of duels a lot less interesting.

Most of the media and experts have always believed that in the first round of this year, the only interesting group of series is the Hornets vs Thunder.

That is, the showdown between Westbrook and James Harden!

While the media analyzed it, most of the teams also ended their last joint practice before the start of the playoffs.

Golden State, Steve Cole looked at everyone and said very seriously: "Guys, we've had another perfect season, but the lessons of last season are still in front of us, so guys, cheer up, the war is just starting now!"

In Chicago, after Kevin Durant finished training, he specially pulled everyone to do a plus practice.

The excitement of the Eagles after winning the regular season really upset him.

And it's the kind of unhappiness that the more you think about it, the more unhappy it becomes!

No......

Who hasn't been a 67-win team anymore?

Why don't you fight Li Wan, just be so happy?

"Game 1 of the playoffs, guys, we're going to have to give them a head start from the start!"

Let's set a small goal......

Win by 20 points!

There are teams full of energy, and there are teams with a low atmosphere.

For example, the Bucks who just arrived in Columbus this morning to play the first game of the playoffs against Columbus.

Especially "Brother Alphabet", the more expressions there are without a future, the more there is no future.

As head coach, Joe Praty wanted to say something to boost the morale of the "future of the league".

But he thought about it for a long time, and finally couldn't find an angle that could comfort "Brother Alphabet".

Don't look at the performance of "Brother Alphabet" this season, he can average 26.9 points, 10 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.4 blocks per game.

But......

In the four regular season games with the Columbus Explorers, his average per game was a miserable average of 11.5 points and 7.6 rebounds per game

He had 3.2 assists on the board, shot less than 40% from the field, and almost didn't even shoot 20% from three-point range.

That's not the case for the regular season, let alone the playoffs.

Comfort is also to be reasonable, to lay out the facts, you say, in this case, what do you want Praty to say?

However, he didn't say much, but the alliance gave "Brother Alphabet" a certain amount of confidence.

On April 15, when the playoffs kicked off this season, the league announced the "Most Improved Player Award" for the season.

It just so happened that among the four groups of matchups on the first day of the curtain opened, there was a game between the Explorers and the Bucks at home.

The excited Milwaukee media shouted, "Let everyone see your progress, Giannis!"

When he saw this report, "Brother Alphabet" immediately felt that one head and two were big, and he couldn't wait to write a letter to complain about the reporter immediately......

No!

Don't piss off the shameless men of Columbus!

They all dare to play "Iron Bucket Formation" with me in the regular season, what else do you say they dare not do?

Unfortunately, Tyronn Lue also saw this report from Milwaukee, and before the first game of the series that night, he specifically mentioned it: "Antetokounmpo has made amazing progress this season, which has earned him the Most Improved Player of the Season award, in fact, no one dares to let his guard down against such a player!"

The implication:

I've got a great "defensive feast" for this buddy.

When "Brother Alphabet" heard the news, he shivered coldly, and he was even more resistant to the game that night. If he could, he really wanted to get a timer watch for the male protagonist of a movie in an island country......

If nothing else, just so that tonight's game time will never come!

He wished time could pass a little more slowly.

Columbus fans feel that this time is too slow, why is it not dark yet!

After waiting for a season, they finally ushered in the first playoff tournament of the city of Columbus, and they are really looking forward to this day!

When the stadium security announced that they could enter the stadium, countless fans poured into the audience at the first time.

Among them, you can see a lot of fans wearing the Cavaliers' No. 25 jersey......

Cleveland people spontaneously came to Columbus to support Levin!

With 25,000 seats, it was extra crowded tonight. -- In order to carry the enthusiasm of the whole Ohio, the arena added more than 1,000 seats in the playoffs, but now it seems that this is just a drop in the bucket and completely useless.

And the boos of the more than 26,000 fans are undoubtedly suffocating.

The Bucks became the first in the league to taste the suffocation......

The boos all over the mountains rushed to their faces, making their already small fighting spirit even more dangerous.

ESPN will set up a commentary booth tonight.

Bill Wharton listened to the cheers of the Columbusians, and he knew very well that the Grand Navigation Arena, which had already won the "Devil's Home Stadium" in the regular season, would be completely famous after tonight!

This fiery enthusiasm is really too easy to affect the away players to play here.

Especially a team like the Bucks who are on the road to rebuilding and are inexperienced.

Soon, Bill Wharton discovered that this already suffocating atmosphere was just an "hors d'oeuvres", and when the stadium's home ceremony arrived, that atmosphere was the real way not to leave the visiting team alive......

All the strong lights on the scene were collectively extinguished, and more than a dozen searchlights shot out from all directions, and finally the center of the court formed the team logo of Columbus.

The live DJ said in a slightly deep voice at this time:

"Let's welcome ...... "Dragon King" Chris Bosh!"

With just one sentence, the scene was set off"

Huge waves".

Chris Bosh appeared domineeringly, with a "dragon king's roar", and a new wave of cheers climaxed.

Until Li Wan appeared on the stage, the cheers of the audience never stopped.

Even after the home debut ceremony was over, the scene was still full of cheers.

In this burst of cheers, the big screen on the scene gave @ on both sides

Wan easily hit the opening goal.

3-0！

With such a smooth start, the cheers that had just disappeared for a while filled the entire scene again.

"Defend!"

"Defend!"

"Defend!"

And as Dellavedova held the ball over the half, the shouts on the scene reverted to a unified "defense".

The atmosphere of the playoffs is on your face.

"Brother Alphabet" holds the ball outside the three-point line.

The image that was hard to believe 30 years ago: a player over 2.10 meters tall holding the ball from beyond the three-point line to organize the offense has now become a common image in this league.

From Chris Bosh to Kevin Durant, the duo has proven with individual talent that they can also attack from beyond the three-point line and play game-changing performances.

Well......

Except Embiid!

It's just that although "Brother Alphabet" is used to attacking from the outside, he is holding the ball at the moment and faces the defensive formation set up by the Explorers, but his face is embarrassed.

Li Wan and Wiggins vaguely formed a sandwich trend, and at the same time, Chris Bosh and Adams "up and down" positions, blocking more possibilities for him.

Not again!

Not again!

The hell is here again!

During the regular season, these guys were such a "bucket formation" that made him feel that his whole body was restrained, and his whole body was fixed into a shape, and he couldn't move, which was called an "insecurity".

Sure that he would not be able to pass the ball out of the way if he rushed in so abruptly, he chose to give the ball to Jabari Parker, who was full of desire next to him.

The latter doesn't have the concerns of "Brother Alphabet", especially when standing in front of him is Wiggins, who has been pressing him since the high school rankings were released in 15, and even in the draft, he still pressed his Wiggins, who immediately skillfully put on a "triple threat posture" and prepared to attack.

Parker is averaging 49.2% shooting from the field and 36.5% from three-point range this season!

Originally, he didn't like to shoot three-pointers, but in order to adapt to the current trend, it only took one season to practice a good three-point shot, which shows his talent on the offensive end.

Wiggins chose to use his body to interfere, and Parker saw that the sheep outfit breakthrough could not force Wiggins back, so he simply broke through with the ball.

But Wiggins' physical talent was revealed at this time, keeping up with him well and continuing to distract.

As soon as Parker entered the high position, Li Wan next to him unceremoniously wrapped him over.

"Levi Bag Clip" ......

Parker is a retro No. 3 style of play, and one of his templates is Carmelo Anthony, who is proficient in all kinds of offensive methods, not only attacking like him, but especially the "triple threat" like Carmelo Anthony.

Like "Melon", his skillful "three threats" are actually only "two threats":

The pass button was picked by him!

Li Wan's murderous reputation has obviously made these juniors very jealous, Wiggins's various confrontations did not make Parker take half a step back, but when Li Wan rushed over, Parker decisively chose to pass.

It was only when he turned his head to look for someone that he realized that Chris Bosh had secretly posted it at some point, and it happened to pass the ball to his hand.

"Bucket Array" ......

It's not just for Brother Alphabet!

Chris Bosh, who had the ball, twisted around to make a quick attack, and after "Brother Alphabet" stopped him, he quickly gave the ball to Li Wan's hand.

At this time, the Bucks can only watch Li Wanyi ride into the dust.

"Phew!"

Taking a step inside the free throw line, Li Wan jumped high and glided to crack the ball into the basket.

5-0！

The Bucks serve again in the backcourt.

"Brother Alphabet" chose to come by himself this time.

The Explorers didn't hesitate to give him any more just because he had just passed the ball to Jabari Parker, still

Resolutely confident in "all kinds of bags".

And "Brother Alphabet" was obviously very jealous of the Explorers' "Iron Bucket Formation", and just rushed to the three-point line, and was still 2 steps away from the Columbus Explorers' bag circle, he immediately turned around and passed the ball out.

The ball went into Middleton's hand, and as a typical pitcher in this league, he adjusted his shot quickly, but as soon as he raised his hand, Wiggins was already in front of him.

After a moment's hesitation, when he passed the ball towards Jabari Parker, Li Wan also completed a precise switch with Wiggins and guarded in front of Jabari Parker.

And when Parker tried his hand at singles, the Explorers gradually formed an "iron formation" against each other.

Bill Wharton is now completely sure: "The Explorers are obviously going to test the two young ball-handling cores of the Bucks with high-intensity pressing tonight, and want to see their ability to handle the ball!"

To put it bluntly, I still want to catch the shallow experience loopholes of the two young people on the Bucks.

As for the effect......

Jabari's final pass error in the last round, and now the Bucks' 24-second offensive time is only the last 7 seconds, and they have not yet had a suitable offensive opportunity, which is enough to show that the effect is very good.

"Bang Dang!"

In the end, the round ended with Middleton hitting the iron after receiving the ball again, Adams steadily protected the rebound, and Monroe was stuck behind him, and he really didn't have a temper at all.

Seeing this scene, Bill Wharton already wants to pronounce the death sentence on the Bucks.

This outside line is already slow to attack, and there is no guarantee of rebounding, and the Bucks are afraid that they will not dare to shoot on the outside!

Sure enough, the next attack, the Bucks waited until there were 4 seconds left in the offensive time before choosing to shoot.

Jabari Parker took the last shot.

The ball bounced off the basket and still fell out.

When Li Wanchong grabbed the rebound and succeeded, the cheers on the scene had reached its peak.

The whole stadium is like boiling water has reached its boiling point.

On the opposite side of Li Wan's attack with the ball was the extremely flustered faces of the Bucks when they retreated.

A "pass without looking at people", Li Wan handsomely gave the ball to Wiggins who was killed on the wing, and after a one-handed crack, Wiggins also clenched his hands into fists in the face of the cheers of the audience when he landed, and roared.

This sound made the cheers on the scene 8 degrees higher again.

It also made the Bucks head coach have to call a timeout.

Counting the last attack, the Columbus Explorers started this game with a wave of 9-0 scoring, shooting all 4, and so far in the game, the Columbus Explorers have not conceded.

Tyronn Lue yelled at the top of his voice, "Keep the momentum going, guys, let's get this game over at the start!"

The effect of the "Iron Bucket Array" is really good!

In his opinion, if the Columbus Explorers didn't play a 20-point difference in the first round, they didn't play well!

One by one, the Explorers returned to the pitch in full swing.

The opposite Bucks are much lower than them.

Obviously, this pause did not regulate their emotions.

It can also be seen from the first offense back on the court that the Bucks are more afraid of the Explorers' overall defense.

Especially "Brother Alphabet", his shortcomings in projection ability are undoubtedly revealed at this moment.

The Explorers didn't confront him in advance, they put him in the high post, and then formed a "heavy bag" to intercept him, and he couldn't rush into the basket at all.

and is unable to threaten with projections from the outside.

As a result, he now has the ball in his hands, and he can't force the Columbus Explorers' defensive formation to change more.

The difference was further widened, and at 5 minutes and 13 seconds in the first quarter, the Explorers had already launched a wave of 15-0 scoring.

And it was at this time that Jabari Parker suddenly found a hot touch, taking advantage of the skillful single

played, first took a step inside the three-point line to push Wiggins, completed a long-distance shot, and helped the team score the first 2 points of the game, and then in the next round, he caught the ball and shot, and the shot outside the three-point line helped the Bucks score another 3 points.

Scored 5 points in a row......

While controlling the difference to 12 points, it also allowed the Bucks to finally have a reliance on the offensive end!

But his power also hooked Wiggins' desire to attack.

Then he started trying his hand at singles.

The first quarter of the first game of the series between the Bucks and the Explorers has become a 1v1 "bullfighting scene" between the 14-year "champion" and the "leader"!

Watch Jabari Parker attack with the ball in a variety of ways.

You have to sigh that God is really a little unfair, such a talented and hard-working guy, but he has been given continuous injuries and made him a "mediocre person", and some guys with bad brains who carry a gun in the live broadcast every day can still sign a big contract in units of 100 million and enjoy life with his thick rice.
