I’m Really Playing Basketball

This season, at the end of the regular season, there were two teams in the West with more than 70 wins, but at this time, few people said that the pattern of the league has changed from strong in the east and weak in the west.

Because this season, apart from the top two teams in the West, the Clippers, Jazz, Lakers, Timberwolves, Trail Blazers, and Suns from third to eighth in the West, no team has a record of more than 50 wins, except the Spurs And the Warriors, the Western Conference record is the Clippers 48 wins and 34 losses.

The record of the West dropped from 70 wins to two gears, and dropped directly to 40 wins.

But it's understandable if you think about it a little bit. This season, the Spurs and the Warriors, in addition to playing against each other 2-2, faced the other teams in the Western Conference, the Spurs and the Warriors, and won 50 wins.

That said, most Western Conference teams started the season with eight-game losses against the Spurs and Warriors.

In addition to the 30 games against the East, the Clippers with the best results are only 12 wins and 18 losses.

There are 82 games in a season, 38 games are played this time, and 44 games are left. In these 44 games between Western teams, the Clippers have the best results, with a record of 36 wins and 8 losses. .

So, this season, the Clippers have a record of 48 wins.

But most teams in the West have not been as good as the Clippers this season.

Not only is the Eastern Conference team not as good as the Clippers, but they can't play against each other with an 82% win rate like the Clippers.

In fact, if other teams in the West, excluding the games played in the East, and the games between the Warriors and the Spurs, and 13 teams compete with each other, the Clippers' results are definitely unique.

82% win rate is not the only one.

Further down the fourth in the Western Conference, the Jazz have a record of only 42 wins and 40 losses this season.

Yes, this season, in the entire Western Conference, only four teams have surpassed 50%.

After that, the Lakers, Timberwolves, Trail Blazers, Suns, their records were all 39 wins and 43 losses.

This is definitely a miracle.

Compared with the West side, the overall record of the teams in the East side is much better.

The No. 1 Cavaliers in the East are 71-11, but the No. 2 Bucks still have a 64-win record, the No. 3 Bobcats also have a 61-win record, and after that, the No. 4 Celtics are It's 54 wins, the fifth-place Chicago Bulls have 52 wins, the sixth-ranked Pacers and the seventh-ranked Raptors both have 51 wins, and the eighth-ranked Wizards have 50 wins.

This is very powerful.

All playoff teams have more than 50 wins.

What is even more powerful is that the top eight teams in the East have won at least one game in four games against the Spurs and Warriors, the two 70-win teams in the West.

Well, the top eight in the East this season, facing the top two in the West, this season has won at least one.

Of the 13 teams in the West, neither the Spurs nor the Warriors have won this season.

The top eight in the East, this season, have won at least one of the Spurs and the Warriors.

The top eight teams in the East, facing the teams in the West, have 30 games and the Wizards with the worst record, with a record of 24 wins and 6 losses.

Yes, 24 of the Wizards' 50 games came from the West. In the 52 games in the East, the Wizards' record was only 26 wins and 26 losses, barely more than half.

That is to say, if the Western teams are removed, the Eastern teams are in civil war, and if they want to enter the playoffs, it is just a 50% victory, which is reasonable.

But obviously, counting the West, the East needs a 61% win rate to make the playoffs.

It can only be said that this group of chickens in the west has pushed up the playoff record of the east.

So, it's been an interesting season, even though the Spurs and Warriors are the first and second best teams in the league.

However, the record of the two teams playing against the Eastern Conference, the Spurs are 24 wins and 6 losses, and the Warriors are 20 wins and 10 losses. This record is not a dominant level, because the eighth Wizards in the Eastern Conference have a record in the Western Conference. 24 wins and 6 losses.

Of course, no team in this world can rule the East.

Even for the Cavaliers, their record in the East is a mere 43-9.

Of course, the winning percentage is higher than the Spurs and Warriors, which is why many say the Cavaliers' record this season is more convincing.

In the past, the most dominant team was in the East, and it could also get the first record in the league.

This season, the Cavaliers are third in the league. There is no Bobcats in the past. The Heat are dominant, but they are slightly better than the Spurs and Warriors.

If there is no Cavaliers this season, the 71-win team in the East, of course, the top two in the West are more optimistic.

Just like last season, there is only one team in the league with more than 70 wins, the Spurs. Even if the environment in the East is worse, everyone defaults to the Spurs first.

But this season, it's clearly different.

This is also the reason why the Cavaliers' leading player LeBron James ranked first, Chen Xiao and Ron Howard ranked second and third in the NBA's last official MVP rankings after the regular season ended.

Closer to home, there are also great bright spots in the regular season player performance this season. The biggest bright spot is undoubtedly the battle between Kobe and Wade for the scoring title.

In the end, Kobe beat Wade's 31.8 points per game with 33 points per game and won the scoring title.

This is also the first time in ten years of Keli's career that he won the scoring title.

In fact, the scoring champion in a single season, the boss of the division does not care so much. What he cares more about is that this season, he has scored a total of 2,640 points, and his career total has reached 36,659 points.

It is less than 300 points away from the second place in Malone's history.

Next season, the boss will surely surpass Malone to become the second-leading scorer in NBA history.

At the same time, the current leader is less than 1,700 points away from Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, which means that next season, the leader can surpass Abdul-Jabbar as long as he averages 22 points per game and plays 80 games.

This also becomes extremely easy.

Therefore, at the end of this season, when a reporter asked the Boss Ke at the post-match press conference if he was interested in scoring 40,000 points, the Boss Ke answered quite directly.

"Of course, I will become the first 40,000-point man in NBA history, and I will be in this position, waiting for Chen to arrive."

This is the new goal that the boss has found for his career.

If this goal can really be achieved, the first Mr. 40,000 points, then no matter how the NBA changes in the future, he will be one of the greatest players in NBA history.

100 years later, maybe there are not many of the top ten in history that can continue to be in the top ten, and it is estimated that there will not be a few that have been mentioned all the time, but the name of the head of the department will still last for a long time. decline.

As an NBA player, you can never get around the first Mr. 40,000 in history.

This achievement is not an MVP, not a championship, but it is enough to make an NBA player immortal and immortal.

This is also the reason why Project 411 is so insane.

In addition, the league's rebounding and blocking champions this year were taken away by Oden of the Cavaliers. Oden averaged 14.5 rebounds and 3 blocks per game this season, and performed very well on the defensive end. Top contender for best defensive player.

At the same time, this season, a center is probably also him. Although Milicic is the first center, the Raptors' record this season is not so good.

Therefore, many people say that after Yao Ming, in the post-Yao Ming era, Oden was the first center to take a shot.

The assist leader this season is the Timberwolves' Rajon Rondo, who averages 12.5 assists per game. He can get so many assists in a team with a flawed offense like the Timberwolves. I have to say that Rondo still has a few brushes. of.

This season's steal king is still Luo Ge. This season, Luo Ge averaged 2.6 steals per game, ranking first in the league.

Since the Warriors have many players who can contribute in the regular season this season, Chen Xiao's data this season is not so good, averaging only 26.5 points, 7.2 rebounds, 8.5 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.5 blocks per game.

But this season, Chen Xiao's shooting percentage is very terrifying, with a shooting percentage of 58.5%, a three-point shooting percentage of 44.5%, and a free throw percentage of 91.5%. Chen Xiao once again hit 180 clubs in his career.

This is already the fifth 180 club in Chen Xiao's career, the most in NBA history.

By the way, by the way, this season, Westbrook of the New York Knicks once again averaged 30+ triple-doubles per game, becoming the second in history after Chen Xiao to average triple-doubles for two consecutive seasons. , a player with a 30+ triple-double for two consecutive seasons.

However, their record is only tenth in the Eastern Conference.

Well, with two teammates like Anthony and Howard, the Knicks still haven't been able to make the playoffs.

So far, the first round of the playoffs between the East and West this season have all come out.

On the other side of the East, the Cavaliers in the East play against the Wizards in the eighth in the East, the Bucks in the second play against the Raptors in the seventh, the Bobcats in the third play against the Pacers in the sixth, and the Celtics in the fourth play against the fifth. bull.

On the west side, the first Spurs face the eighth Suns, the second Warriors face the seventh Blazers, the third Clippers face the sixth Timberwolves, and the fourth Jazz face the fifth Lakers.

The first-round matchup between the East and the West is very interesting.

For example, in the East, the Bucks and the Raptors met in the first round for the first time. As a super team, the Raptors have been in the top four in the East for a long time in the past. Lost a top-four spot for the first time in ten seasons.

And the Bucks and Raptors head coaches Ray Allen and Nash are both rookie coaches with legends as head coaches, and both are coaching playoff teams for the first time in their careers.

On the west side, the most eye-catching first round is of course the third-placed Clippers facing the sixth-placed Timberwolves. Xiaopao and Rondo fought each other in the playoffs last season. With such a big grievance, this In the regular season of the season, Rondo's assist king was obtained under the pressure of Xiaopao, which can be said to be a new hatred and an old hatred.

Moreover, whether it is Rondo or Xiaopao, they are quite vengeful people.

There is also the matchup between the Lakers and the Jazz, Jordan's son Jr. Jordan and Jordan II's Kobe Bryant, in the playoff showdown, which one is Jordan's real orthodox successor?

The three sets of matchups in the first round are the three sets of matchups that fans are most looking forward to, and the matchup between the Warriors and the Trail Blazers is not because Chen Xiao is not big enough or not popular enough, but the difference in strength between the Warriors and the Trail Blazers is too great. Disparity.

In this round of duel, apart from the battle between Chen Xiao and Darius Miles, the former teammates, I am afraid that Lillard and Bill, Klay, Nongmei and other young Warriors players have a little bit of grudge.

Lillard has said more than once on his social media that if he is next to Chen Xiao, he can also be selected as an All-Star in his rookie season. He does not think he is worse than any young player of the Warriors.

In fact, this idea is not only shared by Lillard, but also by most young players in the NBA.

With Chen Xiao's blessing, it's not difficult to become an All-Star, but Lillard just said what everyone said.

And Lillard does have such qualifications. This season, he can contribute 21 points and 6 assists per game in the regular season. In the playoffs of his career, he also averaged 22 points per game. This is a very good regular season. A real star who can also play in the playoffs.

It wouldn't be offensive for such a star to say such envious words to young players like Klay.

So, in fact, Clay and the others have no grudge against Lillard.

In this case, the reporters and the media could not even find the point of hype for the matchup between the Warriors and the Trail Blazers.

On April 18, 2015, the Warriors faced the Blazers at home. Just as most experts predicted before the game, the Warriors defeated the Blazers 118-89 at home without a single shot, and won this year's playoffs. First victory.

In this game, Lillard, who was going to win a game in this scrimmage, faced Bill and the Clay Warriors' two big catchers. He scored 14 points in 5 of 21 games. .

In this game, the Blazers' shooting percentage was only 30%. Facing the starters of Jokic, Nongmei, Chen Xiao, Klay and Bill, the Blazers were powerless to fight back.

On the 21st, the Warriors and the Trail Blazers' G2 continued to play at Oracle Stadium, 119 to 82, another 30-point victory. Lillard's performance in this game was still poor, 5 of 16, and only scored 18. point.

Just when the Warriors scored two consecutive games and looked like they were going to sweep the Blazers to advance, the Warriors lost 115-119, 102-109 in the next G3 and G4.

It’s not how well Lillard performed in these two games, but the Warriors have obviously changed their style of play. The team’s tactical requirements have changed from defending and pressing to rehearsing offense.

Yes, Popovich clearly saw that in G3 and G4, Kerr was practicing the offensive tactics of the team with Jokic as the core.

The Blazers are a very **** team, Lillard, Darius Miles, Batum, Afflalo, CJ McCollum, these players are all very good individually, very suitable for training players and tactics.

"Warriors, this is deliberately adding playoff experience to Jokic!"

This method, the previous Jordan Bulls played, his Spurs also played.

And now the Warriors are playing!

Whether it's the Bulls or the Spurs, every team that plays this way, this season, has a big picture!
