After the Clippers resume the season, they will continue to play eight more regular season games.

Before the league shutdown, the Clippers played a total of 64 games, with a record of 56 wins and 8 losses, a winning rate of 87.5%, ranking first in the league and far ahead of all other teams in the East and West.

According to the Clippers' record, even if they lose all eight games after the rematch, they will most likely qualify for the playoffs with the first record in the West.

Of course, because it is a game in the park, as long as it is a team in the playoffs, the record is not so important, after all, there is no home and away problem.

For the Clippers, the bigger impact of the regular season is that the team can't hit 70 wins.

Although in the past ten years of Wang Chao's rise, 70 wins have become less and less valuable, many teams have broken through 70+ wins in the regular season under the leadership of Wang Chao, and even the Bulls' 72-win regular season record has been broken.

But for most teams in the league, it is still a precious honor worth taking.

But the current Clippers, even if they win all the next games, can only achieve a 64-8 record, which is also an unavoidable regret for the shortened season.

Seeing that the team could not achieve 70 wins to break the regular season record in team history, Wang Chao also decisively changed his strategy.

In the remaining eight games of the regular season, he is not prepared to give the team all his strength, but will adjust the rotation significantly according to the situation, mainly to restore the condition of the main players, and avoid injuries in the intensive and high-intensity park games.

Wang Chao knows better than anyone how much injury affects a team, especially when the Clippers currently have glass players such as Gallinari on their roster, so it is still necessary to be cautious.

As for Wang Chao himself, he is not worried about injury, the existence of steel and iron talent makes it almost impossible for Wang Chao to be injured on the field.

In the first game of the rematch, the Clippers frequently rotated, except for Wang Chao, who played more than 40 minutes throughout the game, slashing 44 points, 14 rebounds and 12 assists, and led the Clippers to win the first game after the rematch.

In the game in the park, all teams showed more or less various discomforts, and the Clippers were no exception, but Wang Chao relied on his strong personal ability and dominance to help the team win.

In the subsequent game, although the Clippers were rotating on a large scale every game, and the main players, including Gallinari and Lopez, only played an average of about 25 minutes per game, but due to the existence of Wang Chao's anchor, the team's winning rate was still very high.

In eight games, the Clippers had a 6-2 record, and the regular season record was finally fixed at 62-10, becoming the only team in the league with 60 wins.

can achieve 60+ wins in the shrinking season, the Clippers, to be precise, should be Wang Chao's strong dominance, and there is no need to repeat it.

The regular season games in the East and West were controlled by the league, and it took a short time to complete them.

Special times, special treatment.

With the growing mask problem, the most important thing is to finish the season as soon as possible and fulfill the responsibilities of the league's broadcast contract.

After the regular season, the Western Conference standings are as follows.

The Los Angeles Clippers are 62-10, the Golden State Warriors are 51-20, the Los Angeles Lakers are 49-23, the San Antonio Spurs are 45-26, the Denver Nuggets are 44-28, the Houston Rockets are 44-28, the Dallas Mavericks are 43-32 and the Memphis Grizzlies are 38-36.

If the normal regular season process is followed, the above eight teams will officially enter the playoffs and compete in turn.

But in this shrinking campus season, the league has made some changes to the format and added the concept of play-offs for the sake of fairness.

As a result, the ninth- and tenth-place teams that should have been out of the tournament have an extra round with the seventh- and eighth-placed teams, and based on the play-off results, decide which two teams will win the last two tickets to the playoffs.

The ninth-place teams in the West are the Portland Trail Blazers with 35 wins and the Oklahoma City Thunder with 10th place with 34 wins and 39 losses.

The two teams will play a play-off battle against the Mavericks, who are seventh or eighth, as well as the Grizzlies.

In the East, the Milwaukee Bucks are 55-18, the Toronto Raptors are 53-19, the Charlotte Hornets are 48-24, the Brooklyn Nets are 45-28, the Boston Celtics are 44-29, the Cleveland Cavaliers are 40-33, the Indiana Pacers are 35-37, the Washington Wizards are 32-41, the Orlando Magic is only 25-47 in ninth place, and the Chicago Bulls are only 22-43 in tenth.

It can be seen from the record that the overall strength of the eastern team is weak, and the generation is very serious.

The teams in the first half of the conference still have good strength and can compete with the teams in the west, but the second half of the conference is almost unsightly.

The Wizards, who are ranked eighth in the East, have only 32 wins, a winning rate of only 43.8%, while the Magic and Bulls, who qualified for the play-offs, have only 20+ wins.

In the past, the winning teams were all strong contenders for the lottery area and even the top pick, so how could they still have a chance to play in the playoffs?

Such a result is naturally unacceptable, but it can only be explained by the fact that this season is a special situation, and it is good for the audience to be able to watch the NBA games now, and not to worry about so many inconsequential details.

The situation in the East and West is roughly like this, and there are not many things worth saying, among which the one that can catch people's eyes is the Clippers, the only 60-win team in the league led by Wang Chao, and the Nets who are led by Jokic and Booker without Durant and Paul, but still play well with a 45-win record and enter the top half of the Eastern Conference.

The play-off situation, let's skip it, and the games of several teams that are hovering on the edge of the playoffs are not worth Wang Chao's attention.

The battle royale rule, which is different from the league's traditional best-of-7 playoff system, also brings a fresh feeling to many fans.

In the end, the team that had the last laugh in the east and west was not surprised, and it was still the team that originally ranked seventh or eighth in their respective records.

The Dallas Mavericks and Memphis Grizzlies in the West, the Indiana Pacers and the Washington Wizards in the East.

The Mavericks have Harden, this season, Harden can contribute 31.9 points, 6.8 rebounds and 8.3 assists per game, although he failed to be crowned the scoring champion with 34 points in the original time and space, but the average points per game is second only to Wang Chao in the league, higher than the Wizards' Beal and the Bucks' letter brother Antetokounmpo.

Although the current roster structure of the Mavericks is not ideal, and there is no helper who can give Harden enough support, with Harden leading the team alone, the results of the playoffs are still guaranteed.

As for the Memphis Grizzlies, it was Luca. Doncic.

Doncic is definitely a player who has brought a lot of surprises to the league, especially this season, playing similar to Wang Chao, James's ball-holding core style Doncic, personal data explosion, can contribute 28.7 points, 9.3 rebounds and 8.7 assists per game, infinitely close to the average triple-double per game.

The Grizzlies, who were originally at the bottom of the league, began to get better and better after acquiring Doncic, and even suppressed the traditional powerhouses Trail Blazers and Thunder to enter the eighth place in the West.

In these two play-off games, Doncic played a more efficient performance than the regular season, averaging 36 points, 10.2 rebounds and 9.4 assists per game, shooting 56% from the field and 37.4% from three-point range.

The league was amazed by Doncic's highlight, but after the amazement, there was a pity.

It's a pity that Doncic is so strong, but in the next playoff games, it will be difficult to go further.

There is no way, the Grizzlies lost to the Mavericks in the play-offs, although they defeated the winner between the Trail Blazers and the Thunder and successfully retained the eighth place in the West, but their opponent in the first round of the playoffs will also be the most dominant team in the league, the Los Angeles Clippers with the first person in history.

Doncic is very strong, strong, not very old, full of talent, and the future is promising.

But in front of Wang Chao, Doncic is still too tender.

Not to mention competing with Wang Chao, the Grizzlies led by Doncic can not be swept by the Clippers, which is already the biggest success in everyone's eyes.

Unfortunately, this is a bit difficult for Doncic and the Grizzlies.

After the first round of the playoffs, in the first game, the Clippers staged a massacre in the arena without home-court advantage.

The Grizzlies are still too weak, and their strength is not at the same level as the Clippers.

During the game, Wang Chao didn't even play against Doncic, and the two just competed on the court with offensive and organizational skills.

As a result, Wang Chao scored 41 points, 11 rebounds and 16 assists in the game, and Doncic had 27 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists.

The gap between the two teams is obvious, and the gap in the overall strength of the two teams is even greater.

The Clippers scored 131 points in the game, and the Grizzlies only scored 98 points, a huge gap of 33 points, so that the Grizzlies surrendered decisively after the third quarter of the game and gave up the game.

The Clippers ushered in a big win in the opening game of the playoffs, but it was a bit of a pity that there was no cheering and congratulatory from the fans on the court, and it always felt that something was missing.

Two days later, the second match between the two sides was not much different from the first.

The Grizzlies coach spent the two days racking his brains to come up with a set of tactics that would target the Clippers' style of play.

But it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, and the Grizzly Bear now only has one RPG in his hand, but he wants them to take down the White House, which is not a problem that can be solved with their brains at all.

On the contrary, the Clippers, after the first game, have a better understanding of the Grizzlies' tactical style and a more targeted style of play.

As a result, the Grizzlies didn't play as well as the first game in this second game, and there was no suspense at halftime.

Doncic played very well in this game, scoring 37 points in the game, and the score was even higher than that of Wang Chao.

But during the game, the Clippers consciously cut off the connection between Doncic and his teammates, resulting in only 2 assists in the whole game.

As for Doncic's score being higher than Wang Chao's, it is also because Wang Chao only played less than 25 minutes before going to rest, and he didn't make many shots at all, not that Doncic was really strong enough.

After two matches, the score came to 2:0.

The huge gap in strength has already indicated that the Grizzlies will be swept out of the game with a high probability of being swept out of the game 4:0.

Especially in the next two games, the Clippers have no home-court advantage, and the same truth is also true for the Grizzlies, they also do not have home-court advantage, there is no off-court help, and there is still a huge gap in their own strength, how to win this game?

Wang Chao said that if you don't know how to win, then don't win.

4:0, crisp and neat, swept out.

This is the end of Doncic's first playoff journey in his career.

Despite the team's terrible loss, Doncic's playoff debut was remarkable.

Throughout the playoffs, Doncic played in 6 games, averaging 31 points, 9.8 rebounds and 8.7 assists per game, shooting 49% from the field and 36.4% from three-point range.

Speaking of which, Doncic may have to thank the league shutdown for giving him the opportunity to play two more playoff games, and the play-offs are also playoffs, and the intensity is even better than the best-of-seven playoff games, which must have accumulated valuable game experience for Doncic.

At least the Grizzlies' management is happy with the result, and they are confident about Doncic's future.

The Clippers swept the Grizzlies 4-0 and became the first team to enter the second round of the playoffs, but they were not alone for long, followed by the Bucks and Raptors in the East, and the Warriors in the West also swept their opponents 4-0 and entered the second round.

The opponents of the Bucks and Raptors in the East are the Pacers with only 35 wins and the Wizards with 32 wins respectively, and their combat effectiveness is even inferior to the Grizzlies, so it is naturally easy to win.

The Warriors are in a bit of trouble here.

When facing the Warriors, Harden was very cunning to emulate Wang Chao's infinite blocking and dismantling of Curry's style of play, not ...... To be precise, this style of play was originally copied by Wang Chao from Harden.

Harden's frequent blocking and dismantling singles made Curry suffer, but there is a huge gap between the overall strength of the Mavericks and the Warriors after all, although the game process was slightly difficult, the Warriors still completed the sweep of the Mavericks 4:0.

As for the other sets of duels between the east and the west.

The Western Lakers 4:2 Rockets, the Spurs 4:3 Nuggets, the two sets of series are extremely intense, and it can be described as difficult to solve.

First of all, the Lakers vs Rockets, the lineups of both teams are not bad, the Lakers side is the cliché James + Twin Towers Big Three combination, and the Rockets side is the dual-core lineup of Leonard + Paul.

Obviously, in terms of the depth of the team's lineup, the Lakers have an absolute advantage, but Leonard in the playoffs is indeed very strong, creating a lot of trouble for the Lakers and James, but unfortunately if the team is not able to deal with the inside twin towers of Cousins and Towns, there may be a chance to reverse the tables.

The game between the Spurs and the Nuggets was also very intense.

On one side is the hardest man in the league, Jimmy. Butler, on the other hand, is the championship lineup brought out by Wang Chao, Mitchell + Murray + Gobert.

The Nuggets have a more reasonable roster structure, but the Spurs have a better core leader and a sophisticated head coach.

The two sides fought to a 3:3 draw, and in the tie-break, the Nuggets were in the lead for a while, almost winning the game.

However, in the fourth quarter of the game, Butler's small universe broke out, scoring 13 points alone, and led the team to reverse the game, winning the game by a narrow margin of 2 points, and advancing to the second round with difficulty.
