The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

Chapter 253 The end of the regular season

(Sorry, I went out with my family during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the update was interrupted. I will try to update as much as possible in these two days, and make up for the previous two days.)

In order to help Curry win the regular season MVP award, in the next few games, Wang Xiao did not arrange a rotation for Curry as he did in the previous few months.

With the help of the whole team, Curry's shooting space and opportunities have also become better. The 15 games in April allowed Curry's average data to further increase, when all the games in April are over. , his scoring average rose to 32 points per game, and his average assists per game stabilized at around 7.

The Wizards' record is also fixed at 53 wins and 13 losses, with a winning percentage of around 80%, ranking first in the league.

This is also the second consecutive season that the Wizards have maintained a winning percentage above 80%. If it is a complete season, it will be another 65-win season.

In the East, apart from the 53-win Wizards, the Bulls with 48 wins in the regular season, the Heat with 45 wins, and the Nets with 40 wins have the best record.

Except for these 4 teams, there is no team in the East with more than 40 wins.

The 5th Celtics in the East won 38 wins, the 6th Eagles 38 wins, the 7th Magic 37 wins, and the 8th Knicks 35 wins.

If such a ranking is at the beginning of the season, it will definitely surprise many people. The Magic with Howard can only be ranked 7th in the Eastern Conference, and the Knicks, who are no less famous than the Heat's Big Three, are just barely grasping. Living at the end of the playoffs, and almost being overtaken by the 34-win Pacers, if they have the top three configurations but fail to enter the playoffs, then the Knicks will surpass the Heat who were eliminated by the Wizards in the Eastern Conference Finals last year. Object of league ridicule.

But now it seems that the Knicks' situation is not very good, because they are ranked 8th in the Eastern Conference, and their opponent in the first round of the playoffs is the bitter Wizards.

Although it has the configuration of the Big Three, it is still generally not favored against the Wizards. After all, this Wizards team is too strong.

In the west, from the first to the eighth record, the Spurs won 50 wins, the Trail Blazers won 48 wins, the Lakers won 41 wins, the Grizzlies won 41 wins, the Clippers won 40 wins, the Nuggets won 38 wins, and the Los Angeles Lakers won 36 wins. The Mavericks and the 36-win Thunder.

The Spurs are as strong as ever, and the Trail Blazers, who were intercepted by Wang Xiao and acquired Durant, replaced the Thunder in another time and space. With the partnership of Aldridge and Jordan Jr., they ranked second in the Western Conference. There were no major changes, but after the Thunder won Oden and were robbed of Harden by Wang Xiao, they could only form a combination of Westbrook, Evans, and Dunn. The strength was much worse than that of another time and space. Stumbled into the playoffs with eighth place in the Western Conference.

...

With the end of the regular season, the league's major awards have also begun to be released one after another.

Curry led the league in scoring with 32 points per game.

The rebounding champion was won by Howard, who averaged 14.5 rebounds per game.

It is Wang Xiao's disciple who won the assists title. Jeremy Lin, who currently averages 11.8 assists per game in the Nets, beat Rondo, who averaged 11.7 assists per game, to become the assists king by a slight advantage of 0.1 assists per game.

The block leader is Jordan Jr., who averaged 3.8 blocks per game, and the steals leader is still won by Chris Paul with an average of 2.5 times per game.

In addition to hard data, awards such as regular season MVP, best defensive player, best team and best defensive team will not be released until the results of the voting are announced, but Curry of the Wizards will basically be selected for the best team. Good for a while, and has a high probability of winning the regular season MVP, becoming the third point guard in history to win the regular season MVP for two consecutive years.

However, apart from Curry, the Wizards may enter the best lineup, and only Paul George is alone.

As of the end of the regular season, George averaged 19.8 points, 7.6 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 2.2 steals per game. He made great contributions to the team on both ends of the offense and defense. There is nothing wrong with the best third team.

The current Wizards team is good in everything, but there are too many outstanding players, resulting in capable players lacking the rights that stars should have. Originally, with George's current strength, it is no problem to get stats like 25+8+5. But there are Jamison, Chandler Parsons and Yi Jianlian at the power forward position, which is also impossible.

The best defensive lineup here is similar to the best team. The Wizards have a high probability of two being selected, George and Leonard, but Wang Xiao has no way of judging how many times the two defend each other.

...

The end of the regular season is equivalent to a long vacation for the teams with the lowest records, but for the teams with the top eight records in the East and West, the real fierce battle has just begun.

The last game of the regular season ended on April 26, with only one day of rest. On April 28, the Wizards ushered in the first game of the playoffs at home.

Like last year, in the first round of this year's playoffs, they once again ushered in the challenge of the New York Knicks.

I am afraid that no one in the entire league would have expected that the combination of Carmelo Anthony, Deron Williams and Amare Stoudemire would still be so unbearable after two seasons of running-in, even Almost missed the playoffs, and facing the league's No. 1 Wizards, basically no one thought the Knicks could win, which was completely different from last year's first round of the playoffs.

At this time last year, the Big Three of the Knicks had only been formed for less than two months. The players were all high-spirited, and the only goal was the championship.

The result was a bloody 4:0, and the Knicks, who had the Big Three, were swept out by the Wizards.

This year, they have completely lost their sense of underestimation, and even put themselves in a very low position.

The head coach of the New York Knicks, Mike D'Antoni, was very low-key when interviewed by media reporters.

"The Wizards are a very strong team. They have a lot of young, talented players, a strong and perfect offensive and defensive tactical system, and a young and amazing coach... This series will be for us. It's a tough fight and we have to give it our all or we'll be knocked out."

In contrast, Wang Xiao seemed very calm. Regarding the Knicks Big Three and D'Antoni, Wang Xiao did not have any comments, but shook his head and sighed in front of the media.

"I think it's a pity that the Heat actually ranked third in the Eastern Conference during the regular season."

The media reporters were baffled by Wang Xiao's words, but what Wang Xiao said immediately left them dumbfounded.

"It would be great if they ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference, so that we can meet them in the second round, and the Heat will not be able to enter the Eastern Conference Finals."

What does it mean? Snipe the Heat? Wait, you're so sure the Wizards can make it to the Eastern Conference Finals?

Although he has advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals for two consecutive years, Wang Xiao said this in the first round, which is simply an insult to other teams participating in the Eastern Conference playoffs, especially the Knicks in the first round.

Although there is no positive comment on the Knicks, such ignorance is more infuriating than belittling.
