"Wow the audience! The Magic team won 67 wins in the regular season and officially entered the ranks of the top teams in the league! ”

"Complement each other! The Super Magic combination has become another classic pair of inside and outside partners after the Lakers' OK combination. ”

"Unfortunately, the Phoenix Suns have a regular season record of 46 wins and 36 losses, ranking ninth in the West, and missed the playoffs in '07, I don't know how they feel when they watch Wang Chao's Magic team enter the playoffs with a 67-win record?"

"The playoff game list has been confirmed, and the Magic team has faced the old rival Detroit Pistons in the first round, and time has passed, and the former strong opponent has been reduced to eighth in the West."

……

At the end of the regular season, the Eastern Conference record ranked from highest to lowest in order of Orlando Magic with 67 wins, 64 wins over the Cleveland Cavaliers, 60 wins over the Boston Celtics, 45 wins over the Atlanta Hawks, 42 wins over the Miami Heat, 41 wins over the Chicago Bulls, 40 wins over the Philadelphia 76ers, and 38 wins over the Detroit Pistons.

The Cavaliers, who were supposed to have the best record in team history with a record of 66-16, lost two more games and could only rank second in the East with 64 wins, and the two more games the Cavaliers lost were the two games they lost to the Magic.

The Celtics, who should have won 62 wins and ranked second in the East, did not lose too many games against the Magic, but they lost to the Los Angeles Lakers, the fierce rivals in the West, after all, the Lakers also had a top defensive player who limited Pierce at the small forward position because of the addition of Artest, so they also lost two more games than originally, 60-22.

The above three teams with 60 wins belong to the first echelon, and the teams in the East are separated from this position, and the remaining five playoff teams are all under 50 wins, and the worst are the 76ers and Pistons in seventh and eighth place, who can't even maintain a 50% win rate.

But there is no way, the strength of the three royal families is too strong, and these teams in the East have to play four games with the Magic, Cavaliers, and Celtics, so naturally they will lose more and win less.

It's very funny that the Hawks, who are fourth in the East, only have 45 wins, and if they are placed in the West, they are not as good as the Suns, who are ranked ninth in the West with 46 wins, and can only be relegated to tenth in the West.

The name of being strong in the west and weak in the east is really not shouted casually.

Although not all of them have 50+ wins in the West this season, there are also 6 teams that have reached 50 wins.

The Los Angeles Lakers, who have an incomparably strong lineup, are obviously the most prominent team in the West, and can be described as one of the best in the league, with a 66-17 record in the regular season, which is completely comparable to the Magic team.

Under the Lakers are the Nuggets with 54 wins, 54 wins over the Spurs, 54 wins over the Rockets, and 53 wins over the Trail Blazers.

Nuggets Anthony was injured, Rockets Maddy was injured, Trail Blazers Oden was notoriously sick, and even the Spurs lost Ginobili in the middle of the season.

If it weren't for that, they would really have a chance to wrestle with the Lakers, and it wouldn't necessarily make it so easy for the Lakers to win a 66-win record.

Continuing down the rankings in the West, there are the Dallas Mavericks with 50 wins, the New Orleans Hornets with 49 wins and the Utah Jazz with 48 wins.

In this way, the list of matchups in the first round of the East and West has also been determined.

In the East, Magic vs. Pistons, Cavaliers vs. Philadelphia 76ers, Celtics vs. Bulls, Hawks vs. Heat.

The four sets of matchups in the West are Lakers vs. Jazz, Nuggets vs. Hornets, Spurs vs. Mavericks, and Rockets vs. Trail Blazers.

Overall, the West is not much different from the original historical process, and the East side has undergone major changes because of the Magic's turmoil, and the Celtics opponent who should have met the Magic in the division semifinals has become the Cavaliers, and the Magic team can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and meet the winner of the two fierce rivals on the stage of the East Finals.

For many fans, the winning rankings of the regular season are not as good as the individual rankings of players.

Wang Chao's average points per game began to decline gradually after the All-Star, but it was still stable, and the final average score per game was fixed at 32.6 points in the entire 82 games of the regular season, and he was still the undisputed scoring champion in the 08-09 season.

Wang Chao has won many NBA records for Chinese players, including but not limited to the first starting main champion player, the best sixth man, the most improved player award, the All-Star MVP, and 70 points per game.

But among all these honors, the scoring champion is still the heaviest one, even more important than the championship, after all, looking at the history of the league, there are countless players who have won the championship, and at least 12 players will be able to win this honor every season, but the scoring champion is different, this honor can only get one player per season, representing the strongest scoring ability in the entire league this season.

Maddie, as a well-known star among Chinese fans, has not won any substantial hard honors in his entire career, no regular season MVP, no championship, and the more successful is the two-time scoring champion and seven-time best team, but it is with these honors that Maddie can be inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2017, and the two scoring champions play a crucial role.

In the perception of many people, the honor of scoring champion is second only to the regular season MVP and the finals FMVP in a whole season, and the gold content can be ranked third, after all, it is really not easy to get a scoring champion, and there are many competitors to face.

Just like Wang Chao's scoring champion, there are also people who are trying to compete, and that is Wade, who is ranked second on the scoring list.

Although Wade cares more about the team's victory, the honor of the scoring champion is just around the corner, and it would be fake to say that he is not moved.

Later in the regular season, after the Heat had already secured a playoff spot in advance, Wade's average shots per game began to increase significantly, which also made Wade's average points per game begin to rise.

Originally, in the 08-09 season, Wade won the scoring championship with an average of 30.2 points per game, which was also the highest average points per game in his career.

But now, Wade's average points per game this season are finally fixed at 31.4 points, although there is still a slight gap compared to Wang Chao, but it can be clearly seen that he wants to compete for the scoring title, but Wade, as a top star in the history of the scoring guard, is still lacking in explosiveness.

In other words, Wade, who was too at his peak to break through with the ball and create damage, his own ceiling is there.

In his entire career, Wade has only averaged 30+ per game once, 27+ per game twice, 25+ per game twice, and 22 points per game in his career, which is still a little worse than Jordan, Kobe, Iverson and Harden.

This season is the time he has the best chance to win the scoring title, but unfortunately he encountered Wang Chao, who was full of offensive firepower, and had no choice but to settle for second.

In third place on the scoring list, James averages 28 points per game, unlike Wang Chao and Wade, James himself is not a player who advertises as a scorer, in addition to averaging 28.4 points per game, James also has 7.6 rebounds and 7.2 assists, which is the engine and brain of the Cavaliers.

Versatile, efficient, and stable have always been James' labels and synonyms.

The Cavaliers' 08-09 roster is actually not particularly strong, at least compared to the Magic, Celtics, Lakers and other teams, there is no second star player in the roster except for James.

Mo Williams, who averaged 17.8 points and 4 assists per game, was selected to the All-Star bench this season, but at his peak, he was definitely not up to the level of a star player, at least he was not as good as any of the Celtics' Big Three, nor as good as Gasol of the Lakers, and even inferior to Odom, Artest and others, which must be admitted.

Bryant is fourth on the scoring list with 27.4 points per game.

The average score of 27.4 points per game is the lowest score of Kobe Bryant in the past four years, but it is also the most comfortable season for Kobe since the dissolution of the OK group, 66 wins in the regular season, which is the best record in the regular season played by Kobe Bryant after the 67 wins of the OK group in the 99-00 season.

Now Kobe Bryant doesn't care about honors such as scoring champions, what he needs is championships, more championships.

At present, he has four championships in hand, but he has just tied O'Neal, and the number of FMVPs in the finals is completely incomparable, and he needs more championships to become the strongest benchmark for scoring guards. Jordan made a splash.

The current situation can give him more energy to recharge and prepare for the playoffs, and the team can continue to win, Kobe Bryant naturally doesn't care about anything like a scoring champion.

……

Wang Chao occupied the top of the scoring list and became the scoring champion, and his partner Howard did not fall behind, monopolizing the rebounding king and blocking king with an average of 14.1 rebounds and 2.9 blocks per game.

This season's Howard, the dominance under the basket is even better than last season, and the defensive radius has been further expanded, but whenever the Magic team plays, except for those heavy centers under the basket, it is difficult for other players to enter, and if anyone dares to break in, he is often greeted with a big hat.

The dominant performance on the defensive end has also made Howard always at the top of the selection of the best defensive player, although the league has not yet announced the season award, but basically everyone has recognized that the best defensive player award must be Howard's.

On the contrary, it is the MVP of the regular season, and it is difficult to make a conclusion at present.

On the day of the end of the regular season, the top three in the regular season MVP selection list are James, Wang Chao and Kobe, and it is generally believed that this season's regular season MVP will most likely be selected among the top two, and there is basically nothing to do with Kobe.

On the one hand, Kobe Bryant was the MVP of the regular season last season, and if he wants to be re-elected, he must perform even better, although the Lakers have won 66 wins this season, but the team's credit obviously accounts for more factors.

On the other hand, in terms of personal data, Kobe Bryant is significantly inferior to James and Wang Chao, and the shooting rates of James and Wang Chao are close to 50%, but Kobe's shooting rate is 46%, which is inferior.

As for James and Wang Chao, fans who support James naturally think that James can win the regular season MVP, while most Chinese fans hope that Wang Chao can refresh the record again and become the first Chinese player in the NBA to win the regular season MVP.

But according to Wang Chao's judgment, it may be difficult for him to beat James in the selection of regular season MVP.

Not to mention that the selection of the regular season MVP is voted for by reporters from Canada and the United States, James, as a native of the United States, naturally has the advantage of votes.

Although he can score 32.6 points per game, which is higher than James's average score per game, the Magic team can score 67 wins in the regular season, which is actually the result of the joint efforts of Wang Chao and Howard and even other players of the Magic team.

To put it simply, Wang Chao's offense determined the Magic's ceiling, bringing the Magic's 59-win team to 67-win, but Howard's defense determined the Magic's lower limit.

In this regard, James has both the upper and lower ceilings of the Cavaliers.

Without either Wang Chao or Howard, the Magic can still make the playoffs, but they just can't reach such a high ranking.

But without James, the Cavaliers would have been the bottom of the league and would have gone straight to the top of the lottery.

In fact, after James made the decision 1 in the future, the Cavaliers welcomed three NBA No. 1 picks in just 44 years, even with the first No. 1 pick selecting top guard Kyrie. Owen didn't change the status quo either.

Therefore, after rational analysis, James is indeed more worthy of this season's regular season MVP than Wang Chao.

This is Wang Chao's own point of view, and he doesn't have much hope for it, but with the existence of the system, Wang Chao is very sure that he will definitely not lack the regular season MVP in the future, and the number will definitely not be less.
