The Godfather of Basketball

Chapter 697: Second in the East! (3/4!)

This sentence is very in-depth. After savoring it carefully, you will feel that it is very pretentious.

The word series is used exclusively for the playoffs, but the Warriors and the Nets are in the East and West Divisions. In theory, it is impossible to play the playoffs in the playoffs. There is only one possibility to play in the finals.

What Tang Tian said back to the reporter implied that he was preparing for the finals with the Warriors.

The words are not direct, but after careful tasting, I feel full of coercion.

Back in the second half, the Warriors began to run wild in the third quarter. Curry and Thompson were unstoppable. They blasted the Nets 40 to 25 in a single quarter, directly opening the point difference to 18 points.

The fans talked and laughed happily, eating snacks and watching the two teams finish garbage time and wait to celebrate.

The media at the scene was also ready to use Tang Tian's words as the headline to criticize the former godfather of the dynasty.

However, in the fourth quarter, the situation changed suddenly. Oden showed his dominance in the paint, and Speights and Ezeri couldn't find their way.

At the critical moment, Cole's pretentious attributes also helped a lot. The Rush and Clark he replaced couldn't keep up with Booker. Booker scored consecutive points on the outside.

By the time the main force came back, the point difference had been chased to single digits.

The excellent performance of the Blue Nets' substitutes won valuable rest time for the main force. When they came back, Gordon and Deron spared no effort to guard the Splash Brothers. Missed.

Physical strength has become the biggest problem for this team that has fought fiercely for nearly two months to break the record.

The Nets fought until the last moment and finally made their hope. Deron's two key layups directly helped the Nets seal the victory.

112 to 110, with Curry's long throw in the backcourt and missed a three-pointer, the Nets successfully defeated the Warriors, allowing the opponent's record to finally be fixed at 73 wins and 9 losses.

After the game, many fans covered their faces with their hands and refused to accept this reality. They were really only 2 points away from history.

After winning the game, the Nets became the only team in the league to sweep the Warriors!

The first time was because the Warriors' 24-game winning streak was a bit loose and back-to-back physically weak, coupled with Booker's awakening, they were very lucky to win.

The second time was due to the lack of physical strength of the Warriors in successive battles and the strong explosion of the substitute players. It was also very lucky to win.

But for whatever reason, the Nets just swept the Warriors.

If the Nets can really make it to the finals, they have an absolute psychological advantage.

In fact, let alone the finals, as the season ends, the Nets players are already looking forward to the upcoming playoffs.

The final record of the Warriors is fixed at 73 wins and 9 losses, which is a little short of tying the historical record, but their record also surpassed the Bulls in the 95-96 season and became the second team in the history of the regular season record.

It is no exaggeration to say that they are the best team in the league this season.

With the end of the last regular season between the Warriors and the Nets, the regular season of the 2015~2016 season has finally come to an end.

In the West, the Warriors' 73 wins are the best in the league, ranking first in the league, and they are the scariest existence after the Cavaliers in the 10-11 season.

And it was the Spurs who were overshadowed by the Warriors. Popovich led the team to 67 wins. Already 40 years old, but the Spurs are still the league's powerful.

The Thunder team won 60 wins, their lineup was better than that team in the previous life, and their final record was better than that team.

Compared with the three strong teams in the West, the performance of the remaining five teams is relatively poor.

The fourth Clippers only won 53 wins in the end. The Big Three lineup of Paul, Griffin and Jordan only lasted for two seasons and showed signs of fatigue.

The fifth Trail Blazers only had 44 wins. Aldridge's departure made their internal strength decline significantly.

The sixth Mavericks and the seventh Grizzlies only got 42 wins in the end.

The most surprising thing is the Rockets, who were predicted by ESPN at the beginning of the season to be ranked eighth in the league. Because of Harden's off-court factors, they only ranked eighth in the Western Conference. The chances of facing the super-strength Warriors are really limited. .

In the west, there is a Romance of the Three Kingdoms, while in the east, there is a battle between two heroes.

The Cavaliers' record of 59 wins ranks first, followed by the Nets' record of 56.

The records of the two teams are not outstanding compared to the West, or even compared to the top two in the past few seasons. The status of the role players is also completely online, like two tigers ready to go.

Both the Heat and the Raptors had a final record of 50 wins, but the Heat ranked third in the Eastern Conference by virtue of the win-loss relationship. Dragic, Wade, Luol Deng and Whiteside's luxurious lineup, Stan After James left, Poelstra once again had the opportunity to flex his muscles in the playoffs.

The Raptors rank fourth. Although the ranking is the same as last year, their strength is obviously much stronger than last year.

Ranked fifth is the Eagles. Although they lost Carroll, Budenholzer's team basketball is still playing well. When they meet the Raptors, an opponent who has always been weak in the playoffs, they have a good chance of advancing to the second round.

The Hornets and the Eagles have the same record, both with 48 wins, but because of the relationship between the win and loss, they finally ranked sixth.

Ranked seventh is the Pacers.

The Pacers have declined significantly after losing David West. Although George has improved in statistics, judging from the performance of the season, their journey to the playoffs is very hanging.

The Wizards became the last lucky ones to advance to the playoffs. They overwhelmed the Pistons to advance to the eighth place. The trade deadline for Bo Yang in the first round was not in vain.

With the announcement of the regular season record, the matchups of the Eastern and Western playoffs also followed.

The 73-win Warriors faced the Rockets led by Harden and Howard.

The Spurs once again faced off against their old rival, the Grizzlies.

The Thunder will welcome the challenge of the Mavericks led by the "old driver".

The Clippers will meet the Trail Blazers again.

And in the east.

The Cavaliers will play against the last-minute playoff-seeking Wizards.

The Heat will meet the impact of the Hornets.

The Raptors and Eagles will compete for a chance in the second round.

As for the Nets, they will have a fierce confrontation with the Pacers.

Paul George is in hot form and ranked sixth in the latest MVP rankings. This is something that the Nets do not have. It's a tough nut to crack.

But what is even better than last year is that they have home court advantage in the series this time.
