Chapter 406: Season Rankings

The Columbus Explorers, 69-13, finished first in the East and first in the league.

The Golden State Warriors' record is the same as theirs, they also have one win and one loss in 2 games, but when calculating the net difference, they average 1.2 points less than the Columbus Explorers, no way, there are too many demons and monsters in the West this season, and the Hornets and Trail Blazers alone are not weaker than them, and they collide with them, even if they win, they have to be stripped of a layer of skin.

So even though the two sides have the same record and the same number of wins against each other, the Columbus Explorers have the last laugh and are the team with the best All-Star record this season.

For the Warriors, this must be the most aggrieved "second in the league"!

In the final game of the season against the Celtics, Li Wan scored 71 points, which allowed him to average more than 60 points per game this season, and in a total of 79 regular season games, he can average an exaggerated 60.1 points per game!

Not only did he become the first player after Chamberlain to average 50 points per game, but he was also the only player in NBA history to average more than 60 points per game!

His total score this season is also an exaggerated 4748 points!

Last season's career total score has come to 26,512 points, plus this season's 4,748 points, the career total score has come to 31,260 points!

This officially made him the eighth player in NBA history to reach a career total of 30,000 points.

And he only took 12 seasons!

And at the end of this season, he is only 159 points away from Chamberlain, who ranks 7th in NBA all-time scoring totals......

In terms of his state this season, he is afraid that he will only play three games in the new season to become the 7th in NBA history!

And after the new season, he can surpass Kobe and Michael Jordan and climb to the fourth place in the all-time scoring list......

At this speed, people really can't help but gasp and shout "terrifying"!

In addition to his staggering points per game, Li Wan also averaged 13.4 rebounds and 6.7 assists per game. That brought his career total rebounds to 8,711 and 8,747 assists, respectively.

On the NBA's all-time rebounds list and assists list, he can be ranked 60th and 9th respectively!

This is also the only player in the NBA to rank in the top 10 of all time in terms of points scored and assists all-time.

This season, Li Wan averaged 3.5 steals and 2.5 blocks per game.

Total steals came to 2,318 after the season, surpassing Morris Cheeks to move to No. 6 on the NBA's all-time list in total steals.

The number of blocks surpassed Alton Liszt to reach 40th on the all-time list of total blocks, with a total of 1449 blocks!

With an average of 60.1 points per game and 3.5 steals per game, Li Wan won the "scoring king" for the 8th time in his career, and the number of "steal kings" came to 5!

It's just a pity that this season's "Zhuang Shen" is still possessed by the "God of Rebounds", averaging 15.6 rebounds per game, plus Embiid has also come to the hardest stage of his career, averaging 13.6 rebounds per game, Li Wan's average of 13.4 rebounds per game can only rank third on the list of rebounds per game.

In addition, Li Wan made history again in the number of three-pointers, averaging 9.6 three-pointers per game this season, which has never been done before in the history of the NBA.

This also brought his average of 3-pointers per game this season to an exaggerated 759!

More than 700 three-pointers in a single season......

When the NBA first introduced the three-point line, I am afraid that no one would expect such a situation!

And Li Wan's three-point shooting rate is particularly exaggerated, with an average shooting rate of more than 50% per game, this NBA can no longer be regarded as a league for him, it is more like a shooting game!

But there is no way, after expanding the "three-second zone", the ease of outside players holding the ball into the inside line has increased again, and when defending Li Wan's ball breakthrough, they must keep a certain distance, and this also gives Li Wan a full chance to shoot.

Now there are two ways to defend Li Wan, either let him break through or let him shoot three-pointers, and it is impossible to do both!

And Li Wan's shooting rate inside the three-point line this season is even more exaggerated, as high as 70%, you say, in comparison, is it a wiser choice to let Li Wan shoot outside the three-point line?

In short, Li Wan is really not a human being this season, this is the "God of Basketball" to experience on the court.

Barkley even shouted: "I really didn't expect that this is Li Wan's real peak!" ”

has been at its peak for twelve years, and it turns out that this time is Li Wan's peak!

Barkley's admiration for Li Wan has reached the point of being even more "brain-dead......

With Li Wan's average data per game frozen, the top eight in the East and West are also settled:

On the eastern side, the first place is the Columbus Explorers;

Behind them are the Raptors, who spent a long time in the first place in the East and were not overtaken until late March.

Their performance this season is good enough, but Li Wan and the Columbus Explorers have been doing so since February! Their final record was 66-16, which was the best season in the Raptors' franchise history.

In third place in the East is the Bucks.

"Brother Alphabet" has evolved again, to be honest, if it weren't for Li Wan's brilliance this season, "Brother Alphabet" would also enter the discussion of the MVP player in the regular season, but there is no way, who let Li Wan meet this season!

All the media know that in the regular season MVP award, other players have two words this season:

Run along!

There are already "remedial measures" proposed by the media there, or will "Brother Alphabet" be given another "Most Improved Player Award"?

In fourth place in the East are the Philadelphia 76ers!

Philadelphia, which "believes in the process", has once again reached the upper reaches this year.

Coincidentally, the fifth is still the Wizards!

The two teams met again in the playoffs this season.

The sixth is the Boston Celtics, Irving was sent away, and the form of the "double tanhua" began to pick up, but it took time and the number of games, and they fell to the 8th place in the East at one point, but slowly climbed back.

Seventh is the Detroit Pistons, and the combination of Drummond and Towns has put the "Motor City" back on the big stage of the playoffs, and this day is exactly 10 years after they last made the playoffs!

This made the Detroit media shout one by one, "It's not easy!" ”

Eighth is the Charlotte Bobcats.

With the top 8 in the East officially falling into the rankings.

The first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs also had results:

Columbus Explorers vs. Bobcats; Raptors vs. Pistons; Bucks vs. Boston Celtics; Wizards vs Philadelphia 76ers!

The top 8 on the western side also had results.

The first is the Golden State Warriors, who are still "cosmic brave".

The second is the Hornets, and the third is the Trail Blazers.

The fourth is the Denver Nuggets.

Before the start of the new season, the Lakers, who once made fans feel that a revival was in sight, ended up in fifth place in the West.

Although all the media believe that the strength of the Lakers' lineup is not as good as the "top three" in the West, but in the end it is only fifth, which is obviously difficult to be satisfied, you must know that compared to the Denver Nuggets' lineup, the Lakers' strength on paper is undoubtedly stronger.

But in the end, it was such a result, which is really difficult to be satisfied with.

Could it be ......

Is LeBron James really old?

And when this kind of rhetoric came up, the LeBron James group was completely panicked.

Because if you want to keep this kind of remarks, you can only rely on performance, but LeBron James, who is now on the Lakers, how can he fight against the current "Western Top Three"?

Most importantly, they are only in fifth place in the West this season, and it will be difficult to beat the Nuggets "on the bottom".

How to beat the stronger "Western Conference Big Three" will have to be considered after the victory over the Nuggets.

And, if anything, LeBron James really doesn't want to make it to the next round.

You must know that they will most likely face the Warriors in the next round, he just left the Warriors, and then was eliminated by the Warriors in the playoffs, which ......

Doesn't that show that the Warriors made the right choice to trade him?

But if he can't defeat the new force of the Nuggets, I'm afraid that the talk about his old age will become more and more turbulent. As for the "cold-blooded" of the Lakers, even the "triple crown" champion like Shaq O'Neal said to send it away. Are you sure you can leave him a way to live?

So the Nuggets have to win, and the Warriors have to face it.

It can only be said that in the second half of the nine innings of life, every step is very difficult.

The sixth in the West is the Kings, they entered the upper reaches of the West last season and they have fallen back this season, of course, this is also normal, the top three in the West are too perverted, the Lakers got four "All-Stars" in an instant, no matter how they say, the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, no matter how bad they are, as long as they don't break up, the fifth place in the West is still stable.

Plus the Nuggets have a sharp spirit......

can be ranked sixth in the West, and the Kings can be regarded as stabilizing the situation.

In the absence of big names joining, it would have been difficult for them to go further.

The seventh place in the West belongs to the Jazz, and now is the "cousin era", Lillard is averaging 26.5 points per game this season, no matter how much it is said to be the "big 75" in the future, no matter how controversial this is to the top, it is no problem to bring only the team into the playoffs.

Not to mention that he has Gordon Hayward on his side.

This backcourt is relatively good in the entire NBA.

Eighth in the West belongs to the Spurs.

Although Leonard was thunderous, the old Spurs' heritage still allowed them to break into the playoffs again.

However, this time there is also the help of other teams in the West, in terms of "rookies pecking at each other", the Spurs are better than having a team, in this era of "superstar huddles" to the extreme, the team after the eighth in the West is really not a star in the year of playing.

The Suns have a Booker who has already made a name for himself.

But a guard, but a guard who relies on technology, wants to hone skills that can lead the team to the playoffs, not just two or three years.

Kobe Bryant, who was at the peak of that year, all had to train for a year before leading the team to the playoffs.

Booker still needs to grind slowly for a while.

The matchup groupings for the Western Conference playoffs are also here:

Warriors vs. Spurs, Hornets vs. Jazz, Trail Blazers vs. Kings, Nuggets vs. Lakers......

The eight groups of matchups in the East and West, the only suspense is the Nuggets VS Lakers group.

In the eyes of outside experts, this matchup against the Lakers is the better side because they have more experience, and the Nuggets are in the playoffs for the first time since having Jokic.

It's not the same thing that this thing has experienced the playoffs once as it has never been there.

Therefore, in the eyes of more experts, the Lakers are likely to complete the "following grams", although they are 2 games behind the Nuggets, but they are also "weak over strong" at best......

On the Eastern side, because the Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Wizards last season, Howard has further degraded this season, and experts don't think the Wizards can complete revenge.

As for the rest of the games, it's even less suspenseful.

The other three series of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs are, in the opinion of many experts, just a passing motion.

On April 16, the league announced the "Best Rookie" for the 18~19 season.

This season's competition for this award can be summed up in one sentence:

It's been a lot of fun.

Not one, not two, three!

Instead, several rookies have played the results that can win the "Best Rookie Award" in previous years.

But the one who finally won this award was Doncic.

He averaged 21.1 points, 7.8 rebounds, 8 assists and 1.1 steals per game.

Dallas hasn't gotten such a great newcomer in years.

When he won the "Rookie of the Year", Dirk Nowitzki stood next to Doncic, this is Dirk's 20th season, and he has accompanied Doncic to finish this season, and he has also announced that he will retire and enter the next stage of his life.

After Doncic had a perfect rookie season, it's clear he can go without a hitch, and the city has a new guardian.

To a certain extent, Cuban, Dirk Nowitzki, and Dallas are the most perfect "one man, one city" model in David Stern's mind.

But to achieve this step, it is extremely demanding.

First of all, before 2010, Dirk Nowitzki's entire career was a tragedy, and if he was replaced by another team, I am afraid that he would have been traded long ago.

Secondly, Cuban's love is the same for Nowitzki, and for everyone else, he is not a good boss.

Then there's Dallas, a city where black stars don't get enough respect, and it's a racist city......

So, it's an irreproducible dream.

Of course, now it seems that there is a sequel to this dream, and Nowitzki's 20 years of perseverance have made Dallas wait for Doncic, a talented "genius star" who debuted.

For now, at least, the future looks bright for Dallas and Doncic. (End of chapter)
