This regret is from the perspective of the media and fans.

After all, although LeBron James misses the playoffs every time, the gap is really small.

If they had adjusted quickly after that loss to the Heat, instead of going through a "three-game losing streak", they might have had a different outcome.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Woody personally handled the ceremony of LeBron's second missed playoff game.

LeBron listened to what the reporter said, his face expressionless.

He's actually fine.

Compared to leading the team to barely complete the sprint, and then being abused by Woody in the playoffs 4 times, watching Woody enter the next round, he feels that the current situation is quite good.

Although he didn't make the playoffs, all the media said he did his best.

Also, the average of 30 plus 8 plus 7 per game, if it is not the best effort, then what can be called the best effort?

So, don't look at him not making the playoffs, but he definitely gained more than he lost.

It's just that the reporter's next question made his expression change greatly:

"If Woody wins a championship this season, would you feel like you've opened up a gap to him?"

This question made LeBron freeze in place.

Oh, yes!

How did he forget about it?

This year's Heat team is so ferocious that they are the favorites to win the championship......

If you really win the championship......

Think about it, Woody made it to the Eastern Conference Finals in his first year in the playoffs and won the championship the second year, but what about him?

Played for two years and didn't even know what the playoffs were.

It's all from a school, and Cleveland came to give up Woody for him, and this scene is really going to happen......

He really didn't know what kind of public pressure he would face.

It was the general manager of the Cavaliers next to him who reminded him in a whisper that you were still being interviewed, and he only reacted.

This "reality" shocked him so much that he froze.

Journalists recorded the photo.

Later, after the Internet became more and more developed, this photo has also become a "emoji" that many fans like to use, and "Yao Ming's smile" can be called the two major god pictures.

Of course, LeBron's photo is usually used when I heard that my brother drove a Land Rover......

LeBron, who came back to his senses, answered a reporter's question: "I've answered this question countless times, and now, let me answer it again, no matter what Woody achieves, I will give him applause and congratulations, he is lucky, he has a very good start." I'm different from him, I'm not in Miami and I don't have a partner who entered the league in the same year, they improve each other, which is a really cool thing! I mean, the Cavaliers are going through a rebuild, it's a necessary process, and I'm happy to go through it at the moment, and everybody knows that Michael Jordan only won the championship in his eighth year of career! ”

This is quite mature.

It's just that the reporters listened, and it was a little bit different.

"Do you think there's something you're looking forward to this summer? For example, having an all-star level helper......"

The word "again" is very spiritual.

Big Z has already been an All-Star, but it's obvious that Big Z alone is not enough to help him enter the playoffs.

But when a team has three All-Stars and their sights are only on making the playoffs, that's a failure.

"I don't have an answer right now, and I'm expecting something good to happen," LeBron said. ”

In this way, the second season of LeBron James' career came to an end, and his stats went further, but unfortunately the team's record did not go further.

Meanwhile, the Heat are also having their final press conference of the regular season.

Compared to the atmosphere on the Cavaliers' side, the atmosphere on the Heat's side is a little more lively.

The Miami reporters at the scene were all smiling.

The season has finally come to an end, and at the end of March, the Heat, who broke the best record in team history, finished with a regular season record of 64-18, ranking first in the league.

Before the start of the season, there were indeed quite a few media outlets that ranked them first in the league.

But the Miami media is still cautious about this view.

Even if the Heat played a perfect start in team history, they still didn't open the champagne in advance, and the subsequent "injury wave" proved it, but with the return of the Heat's injured players, their momentum became more and more ferocious, and they actually played a wave of 18 consecutive wins!

It was also after the winning streak that they finally determined that the Heat were going to have a big ticket this season.

At least so far, this season is the best record in the history of the Heat.

Woody is averaging 24.3 points, 13.2 rebounds, 7.8 assists, 1.5 steals and 2 blocks per game this season.

He shot 55 percent from the field and 79.8 percent from the free throw line.

Compared with last year, the overall data has declined along with rebounds, steals and blocks, but the two statistics on the offensive end have been greatly improved, especially in terms of assists, which have almost doubled!

These two changes in stats illustrate the change in Woody's role on the pitch this season.

He has developed the ball, and now he can attack more independently, and his presence on the offensive end has become more obvious.

Another person who has made great strides is Wade.

He averaged 21.4 points, 3.4 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game.

No one may have thought that Wade, as an "older rookie", could make such significant progress in his second year in the league.

In fact, at the end of the season, Wade's performance was much better than his season average, averaging 23.4 points per game, which is almost catching up with Woody's average points per game.

Of course, Woody averaged 27.6 points per game at the end of the season!

At the same time, there is still a gap between Wade and Woody.

But Woody entered the league at the age of 18, and what about Wade? He was 21 years old when he entered the league, and this progress is even more commendable.

When the reporter asked Wade why he could continue to improve, Wade's first thought was Woody's unhuman performance, and he hid under the quilt every night and secretly thought about how big the gap between himself and Woody would be......

He knew he had to thank Woody because he was a player who could put pressure on him from time to time to try to improve.

It's just that there are some things that he is really embarrassed to say, he can only say: "When you enter the team at the same time as a genius, you can only keep training to keep up with him." ”

These words made Woody and Wade's sense of CP more obvious.

With the final press conference of each team coming to an end, the top eight of this season's East and West have also been settled.

On the Eastern side, the first place is the Heat.

In second place is the Pacers.

They got 58 wins, the gap is still quite obvious, but in the four meetings with the Heat, their big score is 2-2, although in one of the games the Heat took a turn to rest Shaq, but a win is a win, and they did not lose to the Heat on the field.

In third place is last season's defending champion Pistons.

There's not much to say about this team, and they didn't rank high when they won the championship last season, so just like the old Rockets, don't underestimate their championship heart.

Fourth in the East is the Bulls.

No one expected them to be so successful this season.

Their situation is actually very similar to last season's Heat, the team is full of young blood, and they are also like last season's Heat, blowing a youth storm.

Fifth in the East is the Washington Wizards.

Arenas and Larry Hughes formed a backcourt that gave them a ticket to the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Sixth in the East is the Boston Celtics.

Paul Pierce's floor is still okay, the Celtics' roster has not changed much this year, but he is still brought into the playoffs.

Seventh in the East is the Philadelphia 76ers!

Allen Iverson managed to win his fourth career "scoring title" with changes to the league rules, while also allowing the injury-ridden 76ers to continue the playoffs.

Eighth in the East is the Nets.

Kenyon Martin's departure proves at least one thing.

It's not just that he can't live without Kidd, but Kidd can't do without him either.

According to this order, the matchup situation in the first round of the East is already obvious:

Heat vs. Nets, Pacers play Philadelphia 76ers, Pistons play Boston Celtics, Bulls fourth in the East play Wizards fifth in the East.

This side of the west.

The Spurs maintained the first place in the West for a long time, but they still couldn't withstand the "Kombat Whirlwind" from Phoenix, and at the end of February, they ceded the first place in the West and finally stabilized in the second place in the West.

The Suns have a 62-20 record this season, the only two teams in the league to have reached 60 wins.

It can be seen how fierce their whirlwind is blowing.

And unlike the Heat, no one expected Steve Nash to join the Suns, a team that could soar to such an extent!

The Spurs have the third-best record in the league, and although they don't have 60 wins, they have 59 wins!

And Popovich probably didn't take 60 wins to heart, and he chose to rest the "troika" in the last game of the season, which led to the team losing the last regular season game and not getting 60 wins.

In third place is the Seattle SuperSonics, but he takes the light of the division rules.

Its own record is only 52 wins, which looks good, but in the face of the Mavericks' record of 58 wins, there is still a gap in strength.

Nelson Sr. was slapped in the face to some extent because after his departure, the Mavericks instead played a stronger record than last season.

And the Mavericks' style has changed dramatically, and now they're very focused on the defensive end.

Unfortunately, because of the division rules, his Texas already has the Spurs ranked second in the West, the Northwest SuperSonics ranked third, and they can only be in fourth place.

They weren't the only ones who were unlucky.

The Rockets finished the season with a 51-31 record.

In fact, it is similar to the momentum of the supersonic team in third place.

In terms of record, the fifth-place team in the West should face the SuperSonics in the first round, but now they need to play the "Texas Civil War" and face the more combat-ready Mavericks......

As a result, the Houston media blasted the league for this rule.

Sixth in the West is the old powerhouse Sacramento Kings, also known as the "Western Nets".

The situation of these two teams in recent seasons is a true portrayal of the degeneration of a giant.

Especially after sending off Chris Webber in the middle of the season, it was only a matter of time before the Kings fell.

Seventh in the West is the Denver Nuggets.

It's worth mentioning Carmelo Anthony.

After the All-Star weekend, he seems to have regained the spirit of his first season, averaging 24.5 points per game, and although the momentum of improvement is still not as good as LeBron's, the Nuggets are already satisfied.

Especially his attitude, he's more focused on the game and the trouble off the pitch is getting less and less.

This is a good sign.

When asked by reporters why he changed suddenly, his answer was also a relief to all Denverders:

I'm going to the highest stage!

I'm "Melon" Anthony, you remember!

Once again, only one of the "three pride" missed the playoffs.

The last spot in the West belongs to the Grizzlies.

This is the second season in a row that they have made the Western Conference playoffs.

Pau Gasol's name began to be mentioned.

"It's a very tough process, it's more difficult in the West than in the East, and when Pau Gasol can do that [leading the team to the playoffs], we have to give him a higher rating, and at this point, most of the media opinion is because this team has Jerry West, and I believe that's one of the main reasons why the Grizzlies are in the playoffs, but again, Pau Gasol should be in the midst of that!"

These voices believe that Pau Gasol is underrated.

Of course, there are also slots for these voices, because Pau Gasol, who entered the league in '01, has not led the team to a single playoff victory.

And the Grizzlies did slowly change after Jerry West came to this team.

These reasons cannot be overcome, and now the supporters of Pau Gasol can only wait for him to win his first win in the playoffs.

As the dust settles on the regular season, the league has also announced this season's "Rookie of the Year."

In fact, the results were already determined in February and March, and only now have they been announced:

In their first year of existence, the Bobcats had the first "Rookie of the Year" Okafor in team history.

A "double-double" performance of 15 points and 10 rebounds per game.

Juniors are indeed more mature than high school students, both on and off the court.

Howard ended up with only 12 plus 10 stats this season, which makes him a high high school student compared to last season's crazy high school students.

And his provocation of Woody is still a joke mentioned by many media reporters.

This was followed by the "Sixth Man of the Year" of the season.

A new NBA record is set:

This season's rookie Ben Gordon became the first rookie in NBA history to win the "Sixth Man of the Year" as soon as he entered the league.
