"With 70 wins and 12 losses in the regular season, the Magic surpassed the Lakers' 69 wins in 1972 and took second place in the all-time record list!"

"Aiming for the overall championship! The 70-win Magic are menacing, and they're ready to take on a lot of tough opponents in the playoffs! Will they be able to successfully defend their title? ”

"O'Neal denied that the Super Magic combination is stronger than the OK combination, and said that he would teach Wang Chao and Howard a good lesson in the playoffs."

"The 09-10 regular season is over, the East and West playoff matchup list is out, who will win the championship?"

"The league's stats are out, are there any stars you like?"

The end of the regular season is accompanied by a lot of topics and discussions, among which the news about the Magic team is undoubtedly the hottest.

After all, this season's Magic team can be described as fame and fortune.

The 70-12 record is unique in history, even compared to Jordan's 72-win over the Bulls, it is not too many losses of 2 games, as the second team in history to achieve 70+ wins in the regular season, the Magic team should have such heat.

In addition, when it comes to individual honors, the Magic also have a monopoly on the majority of the roster in terms of technical statistics.

Wang Chao successfully defeated Durant with an average score of 31.8 points per game, and the latter finally averaged 31.3 points per game, and the scoring title was won by Wang Chao, which was his second scoring title.

Below Wang Chao is Durant, who averages 31.3 points per game, followed by James with 30.6 points, Anthony with 28.4 points, Kobe Bryant with 27.7 points, and Wade with 27.1 points.

Perhaps because of Wang Chao, the average points per game of the top players in the scoring list this season are higher than the original, but even if it is a little higher, there is no way to threaten Wang Chao's scoring champion.

Howard continues to monopolize the rebounding and blocking charts, although the average points per game has dropped significantly, but in the defensive field, Howard is definitely the strongest monster in the league today, which can be seen from his also dominating the defensive efficiency list.

Although the defensive ability of the Magic's outside players is not bad, it is definitely not strong, but the Magic have conceded third in the league in points per game this season, ranking above the Celtics and Cavaliers!

To put it bluntly, it's all down to Howard, who is at the peak of his career and can really single-handedly support the entire team's defensive system.

If Howard dominates the defensive end, then it's not too much to say that Wang Chao dominates the offensive end.

He averaged 31.8 points per game while shooting 52.3 percent from the field and 48.8 percent from three-point range.

Wang Chao's efficiency value ranks first in the league, slightly higher than James.

Not only that, what is even more surprising about Wang Chao this season is his passing and assist ability, after Tekoglu left the team, Wang Chao smoothly took over the responsibilities that originally belonged to Tekoglu, and did better than the latter.

In 82 regular season games, Wang Chao averaged 8.5 assists per game and controlled the average turnovers to about 2.6 per game, which is the standard only the best point guards.

With an average of 8.5 assists per game, he can rank sixth on the season assists list, and above the Wang Super League, there are only five Nash, Deron Williams, Rondo, Kidd and James.

It's worth mentioning, Chris. Paul suffered an injury in the 09-10 season and played only 45 games in the regular season, so he didn't make the list.

Before the start of the season, who would have thought that Wang Chao would actually achieve this level in terms of passing assists, and no one would doubt that he is an experienced point guard just by looking at the data.

The Super Magic Combination alone monopolized half of the league's big data rankings, and it also proved from another aspect that the Magic team's 70-win record was not mixed.

……

With the regular season coming to an end, the East-West standings and playoff matchup rosters have also been fixed.

In the East, the 70-12 Magic rode the dust, leaving the other teams far behind.

The second-ranked Cleveland Cavaliers finally achieved a 59-23 record and failed to achieve 60 wins, which disappointed Cavaliers fans.

There is no way to do it, O'Neal and Carter are both old and sick, and they don't play many games in the regular season, but fortunately, both are currently in relatively healthy condition, and they can expect to make a difference in the playoffs with the experience of veterans.

In third place is the Atlanta Hawks, who have 51 wins, which is slightly unexpected, and Wang Chao originally thought that the Eagles were cut off by him to the important sixth man Jamal. Crawford's combat effectiveness will be greatly affected, after all, Crawford was originally in the Hawks this season as a team bench average of 18 points and 3 rebounds, second only to Joe in the team. Johnson's second scorer.

But it seems that even without Jamal. Crawford, the Eagles' fighting power is still very good, after all, there is Josh in the team. Smith, Al. Horford and other great players.

Of course, the more important reason is the crotch pull of the Celtics in the second half of the schedule of the Eastern Royal Three.

At the beginning of the original season, the Celtics played quite well, and once beat the Magic in terms of record, winning a lot more games than the Cavaliers, who started slowly.

However, as the schedule continued, the disadvantages of the Big Three's age began to gradually become apparent. Allen and even Pierce were injured to varying degrees in the second half of the season, and in the end Garnett played 69 games in the regular season, Pierce played 71 and Ray Allen played 74.

At the same time, Garnett's decline due to injuries has also affected the Celtics' defensive system, and Garnett averaged only 14.3 points, 7.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game in the regular season this season, the lowest number since his rookie season.

Garnett has reduced not only in terms of personal data, but also in his defensive ability, Garnett has been outside the top 10 in the league in terms of defensive efficiency, you must know that just last season, Garnett was still the second player in the league in defensive efficiency after Howard.

Under the influence of various factors, the Celtics only finished with a 48-34 record, and if they were placed in the West, they would not even be able to enter the playoffs.

The fifth-placed Miami Heat are 46-36, the sixth-place Bucks are 43-43, the seventh-largest Bobcats are 41-41, and the eighth-place Bulls are only 40-winning, the only team to make the playoffs with a winning percentage of less than half.

As a result, the four matchups in the Eastern Conference playoffs are Magic vs. Bulls, Cavaliers vs. Bobcats, Hawks vs. Bucks, and Celtics vs. Heat.

Compared with the east, the west is obviously much more competitive.

The Lakers, who are 57-25, sit in first place in the West, while they are only seven games away from the Rockets, who are eighth in the West.

The Dallas Mavericks are second with 55 wins, the Phoenix Suns are third with 54 wins, the Denver Nuggets are fourth with 53 wins, and the Jazz are fifth with 53 wins, followed by the Trail Blazers with 52 wins, the Spurs with 51 wins and the Rockets with 50 wins.

The Thunder are eighth in the West with a 45-win record, which would already be sixth in the East if placed in the East.

The four matchups in the Western Conference playoffs are Lakers vs Rockets, Mavericks vs Spurs, Suns vs Trail Blazers, Nuggets vs Jazz.

The first round of the playoffs will be played on February 20.

And the Magic's first-round opponent, the Chicago Bulls, basically has nothing to say.

Bulls star Derrick. In the second season of Rose's career, he has been able to average 20.8 points and 6 assists per game, and the team also has small forward Ruel Deng, who averages 17.6 points and 7.3 rebounds per game, and center Joakim Noah, whose combat effectiveness is still remarkable.

But the head coach of the Bulls at this time was not Tom. Thibodeau also don't have the same super-team defensive ability as next season, so they simply don't have any capital to play against the Magic.

And so it is.

In the first game, the Magic used a hearty victory to tell Chicago fans not to have any illusions.

At 120:97, the Magic won by 23 points at home.

Wang Chao 29 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists, Howard 25 points, 16 rebounds and 4 blocks, Jamal. Crawford 20 points.

These three alone scored 74 points, and in the face of the Magic team, which scored like chopping melons and vegetables, the Bulls were powerless. Rose did nothing in the face of Howard under the Magic team guarding the basket at all times, no matter how fast he broke through with the ball, when he came to the basket, he had to face Howard's defense, and the result was only 6 of 16 shots in the whole game, only 16 points, 5 assists and 4 turnovers.

Rose, the Bulls' most capable scorer, is still the same, let alone anyone else.

Two days later, the Magic defeated their opponent again 106-91 at home, taking a 2-0 advantage.

After a two-game loss, the Bulls finally returned to their home court, but the trip to Chicago didn't make any difference for them.

112:102，121：98。

Two games, two crisp wins, the Magic didn't give the Bulls a chance, and all four games were, with the final five minutes of the game being above double digits.

The huge gap in strength is like a chasm, leaving the Bulls neither the players nor the fans with any chance or idea to win.

At 4:0, the Magic swept the Bulls neatly and smoothly advanced to the second round, continuing to show their dominance in the regular season.

Wang Chao played more restrained in the first round, the opponent was the Bulls after all, basically the winner and the loser had already been decided in the third quarter, and he didn't need to exert his strength on the offensive end at all.

Therefore, in the four games, Wang Chao averaged only 28 points, 6.7 rebounds and 7.4 assists per game.

Howard, on the other hand, played quite well because he faced Noah, who was not very big tonnage, averaging 22 points and 15 rebounds per game, which was better than the statistics in the regular season.

The matchups in the first round of the playoffs are not so close in most cases, at least for the teams with high standings.

The Cavaliers also swept the Bobcats 4-0, the Hawks beat the Bucks 4-2, and even the Celtics didn't have a tough game against the Miami Heat.

4:1, Wade of the Heat averaged 33.2 points and 6.8 assists per game in 5 games, but the Heat team did not have a teammate who gave him enough support and help except for Wade alone.

On the other hand, the Celtics, as soon as they entered the playoffs, changed their previous poor appearance in the second half of the regular season, and the Big Three were all fierce and vicious, and sure enough, these old guys were paddling in the regular season, the purpose was to reserve more physical strength in the playoffs.

The matchups in the second round of the East are Magic vs. Celtics, Cavaliers vs. Hawks.

Compared with the disparity in strength, the first round of the West is quite chaotic, after all, even the Houston Rockets, who are ranked eighth in the West, have a 50-win record, and the gap between them and the Rockets, who are the first in the West, is not large.

The Rockets did cause a lot of trouble for the Lakers in the first round, although the Rockets are now without Maddy, but the presence of Da Yao, plus the quasi-big three combination of Lewis and Martin, also has good combat effectiveness.

Not even talking about the outside line, Da Yao overturned the river and the sea on the inside line alone, and he fought Gasol and Bynum alone.

Facts have once again proved that as long as Da Yao can stay healthy, his lethality on the inside line is absolutely top-notch.

It's a pity that the Rockets don't have the ability to compete with the Lakers on the outside.

Kobe Bryant alone topped Lewis and Kevin. Martin two, and even a Brooks.

The Lakers took the lead in winning two games at home, but the Rockets were not to be outdone and won both at home, and the score came to a 2-2 draw.

In the battle of Tianwang Mountain, the Lakers and the Rockets were inseparable, but the game entered the most stalemate link, and the weakest drawbacks of the Rockets reappeared.

Da Yao's physical strength was overdrawn in advance, and he was unable to support the team's offense in the fourth quarter, and the Rockets finally lost the game.

The Lakers, who won the battle of Tianwang Mountain, won the game at home two days later, and the total score was 4:2 to enter the second round.

In the other three matchups, the Jazz and Spurs both defeated the Nuggets and Mavericks 4-2 to advance to the second round, while the Suns also defeated the Trail Blazers 4-2.

The matchups in the second round of the West are Lakers vs. Jazz and Suns vs. Spurs.

Ahead of the second round of the East-West Division, as in previous years, the league began announcing the All-Star and other season awards.

There is no suspense, Wang Chao and Howard were both selected for the best team, and the two of them were selected for the best team at the same time, as well as Kobe, James and Wade, and the selection results were almost the same as last year.

The five players in the All-NBA Second Team are Nash, DeLong, Durant, Anthony and Stoudemire.

The player in the best three team is Brandon. Roy, Joe. Johnson, Dirk. Nowitzki, Tim. Duncan and Da Yao.
