Chapter 674 Eastern Ranking
To be fair, the Blazers are the most unfortunate team.
why.
They are 41 wins and 41 losses, while the Grizzlies are 43 wins and 39 losses. There is only a difference of 2 wins between the two teams, which is not much.
But there is no way, if they lead you by two wins, you just can't make it to the playoffs, so you can only watch.
After losing five main players last season, the Trail Blazers finally ranked fifth in the Western Conference, which is admirable. However, the Trail Blazers this season had a bad start in the first half of the season. Their rankings have been in the middle and lower reaches. Lumley's exchange for Nurkic from the Nuggets became the Blazers' rejuvenation technique. Nurkic has become the team's third giant in Portland, and the powerful pick-and-roll provided by Nurkic's arrival also indirectly led to Lillard broke out again, but how to put it, they were a bit behind before, even if they performed well after the All-Star Game, they still failed to send them to the playoff list.
After confirming that the team could not make the playoffs, Lillard sent a message on Twitter. I won’t say the specific content, but the general meaning is that he was out of luck and didn’t even make the playoffs. And this playoffs are getting worse and worse. Without him, the game is not good at all.
How should I put it, Lillard is still super confident in himself.
He thinks he is the eldest in the sky and the second in the earth, and he Damian Lillard is the third!
Not only does he look down on others, but he also looks down on people like Xu Xuan, Curry, Durant, and James.
However, the director Li of the later generations is indeed vigorous enough, known as the "lore madman" and "heart pauser"!
It means that this guy's heart is really too big, and he can play it at every critical moment, just like turning on G.
It's really a bit outrageous, all kinds of lore are like drinking boiled water.
Tenth in the West is the Denver Nuggets with a record of 40 wins and 42 losses.
No. 11 in the West is the New Orleans Pelicans with a record of 34 wins and 48 losses.
No.12 in the West is the Dallas Mavericks with a record of 33 wins and 49 losses.
No.13 in the West is the Sacramento Kings with a record of 32 wins and 50 losses.
No. 14 in the West is the Minnesota Timberwolves, with a record of 31 wins and 51 losses, second to last in the West.
No.15 in the West is the Phoenix Suns, with a record of 34 wins and 58 losses, the last in the West!
In this way, the ranking in the West has been determined.
Let's look at the east again.
The first place in the Eastern Conference is the Boston Celtics.
After a lapse of nine years, the Celtics returned to the top of the Eastern Conference.
时间的力量，实在太可怕了。——2013-14赛季，绿军25胜57负，东部第12；2014-15赛季，绿军40胜42负，东部第7；2015-16赛季，绿军48胜34负，东部第5；2016-17赛季，绿军53胜29负，东部第1。
From 12th, 7th, 5th, and 1st in the Eastern Conference, from rebuilding to reaching the top of the Eastern Conference, it took the Greens only four years, not counting Angie's lot of draft picks.
The strongest player on the surface is 175, and his scoring average has risen from 22.2 points last season to 28.9 points per game this season, including 9.8 points per game in the fourth quarter.
——Thomas Jr. accidentally became the second in team history, second only to Larry Bird's 1987 points per game in the 198888-29.9 season.
In the past, each team used two players to attack Thomas Jr. to bully his height and vision—Horford averaged 5.0 assists per game at the center position to liberate Thomas Jr.'s off-ball offense, and Stevens arranged more support for Thomas Jr. At this point, the Green Army is no longer afraid of flanking Thomas.
Speaking of which, it is indeed surprising that the Celtics have returned to No. [-] in the Eastern Conference.
Under the leadership of Thomas, this new Green Army ushered in a transformation this season, and finally beat the Cavaliers in the regular season to get the top trade in the Eastern Conference.
The second place in the East is naturally the Cavaliers.
Unknowingly, the old man averaged 37.8 minutes per game this season, ranking first in the league and a new high since returning to Cleveland in the summer of 2014.
This season, the old man's usage rate is as high as 30%, 12th in the league, 13 triple-doubles, the first player in history to achieve "28000+7000+7000", but the Cavaliers only achieved a record of 51 wins and 31 losses, second in the East. ——In theory, the Cavaliers' performance in the regular season is not satisfactory; but from the old man's point of view, there is no difference between the Cavaliers' eighth in the Eastern Conference and the first in the Eastern Conference.
The regular season is too long, and the Cavaliers are busy running in the lineup throughout the season. New aids come, running in; old players are injured, running in;
The instability of the lineup led to the unsatisfactory record of the Cavaliers in the regular season. The direct impact of this instability is the playing time of the old man Xingao.
In 2014, James announced to the world his determination to return to the Cavaliers and his hometown in a long paper.But to a large extent, it hurt the feelings of former teammate Wade and his former club, the Heat.Knowing that what he did was wrong, in the next two years, whenever Zhan Huang met the Heat, he would definitely find a reason to truce. Even if he could play and stand on the court, he always did not work hard.
However, this season, Wade and the Heat had a stalemate and left Chicago.The scope that James has to take care of has become bigger and bigger in desperation.The emperor did his best to appease the emotions of all parties. In the regular season, the Cavaliers played against the Bulls four times. Zhan Huang continued his passive and sabotage strategy. In all four games, the Cavaliers were defeated without exception; No ruthlessness, so the Cavaliers lost 4 of them.With 4 games in and out, it may be difficult for the Cavaliers not to fall into a ranking crisis.
It's true that James is still the best basketball player on the planet.But in the past two years, as the age passed 30, the emperor thought about more and more things.In addition to playing, he also began to get involved in non-basketball affairs more and more frequently.Many times, when it comes to James, it is difficult for you to define him as a pure athlete.During the season, he will subtly use social networks to interfere in the management's operations; he will participate in the negotiation of the labor agreement with his friend Paul and others, he will act in movies, participate in variety shows, and even devote himself to politics and participate in the sponsorship of presidential candidates. Choose an activity.
Even though, as a player and a head star, James still does his best.But as a veteran in his 30s, it is inevitable that Zhan Huang will be unable to do what he wants in the game.
If you only look at the data, James' performance this season seems to be far better than the previous two years.He averaged 26.4 points per game, a new high after returning to the Cavaliers, and averaged 8.6 rebounds and 8.7 assists per game, which is a career high.In addition, the emperor had 13 triple-doubles this season, which is also a miracle that has never been seen in his career.If, without Xu Xuan and Westbrook stealing the limelight, perhaps, it is entirely possible for Zhan Huang to get his hands on the fifth MVP trophy in his career.
However, behind the gorgeous data, people have vaguely discovered that James has less communication with his teammates.During the game, there were more and more scenes of him playing with his head sulking, and the number of times he was sulking on the sidelines and sulking was also increasing.Originally thought that the regular season could be spent by paddling to keep healthy and easy, but in the end, it was also mired in the quagmire amid Zhan Huang's laments and calculations.
On the last day of the regular season, James chose to give up strategically, watching the Celtics climb to the top of the Eastern Conference.Of course, for Zhan Huang, who is used to big storms, this setback is really nothing.
The third in the East is the Toronto Raptors, with a record of 51 wins and 31 losses, the same as the Cavaliers.
At the beginning of the season, the Raptors' double guns collided well, and the Raptors shooting guard DeMar DeRozan's performance was extremely strong. In the first 12 games at the beginning of the season, he scored more than 10+ points 30 times and led the scoring list at the beginning of the season. His classical shooting guard style of using back-up mid-range shots as the main means of attack has been hailed by fans as Kobe’s successor. As the season progressed, DeRozan’s scoring performance declined, but he averaged 27.3 points per game throughout the season. 5.2 rebounds and 3.9 assists are amazing enough.
The fourth in the Eastern Conference is the Wizards.
The Wizards were still a team in the Eastern Lottery last season, but this season they finally entered the playoffs with a strong No.4 position in the Eastern Conference, and they only had 4 wins with the Eastern Conference boss Celtic The gap, the record of 49 wins and 33 losses is the best record of their team in recent years, and the Wizards can achieve such an excellent record, which is closely related to the outstanding performance of their team leader John Wall. Wall averaged 23.1 points and 10.6 assists per game as a top point guard. If Xu Xuan and Westbrook hadn't played too well, Wall's data and this year's record could compete for the MVP. Two stars Bradley Beal and Otto Porter also played the best performance of their careers this season. The top backcourt combination is supplemented by top 3D players. It is definitely not luck that the Wizards can play fourth in the Eastern Conference.
Fifth in the East is the Atlanta Hawks.
The record is 43 wins and 39 losses. The Eagles are still a solid team, known as the "Eastern Spurs". It is not surprising that this team has reached the playoffs.
The sixth in the Eastern Conference is the Pacers, with a record of 42 wins and 40 losses.
This season's Pacers, although without Xu Xuan, still tenaciously made it to the playoffs under the leadership of Paojiao, ranking sixth, but no one knows whether they can go further in the playoffs .
Seventh in the East is the Milwaukee Bucks.
For the young Bucks, if it weren't for the damn injury, they should have gotten a better ranking in the regular season. The absence of the main small forward Middleton in the early season has greatly affected them. Forward Jabari Parker's season reimbursement casts a haze on the prospects of the Bucks, and even the main backup scorer like Beasley can't escape the favor of injuries. In the end, the Bucks were able to stumble into the season. playoffs.But the biggest gain of the Bucks this season is that Antetokounmpo has grown into a superstar in the league. The potential he has shown this season has surprised everyone. This is only the fourth year of his career.
But everyone knows that if Brother Antetokounmpo wants to reach the top, his biggest opponent is not others, but Xu Xuan.
Compared with Brother Antetokounmpo who just got up in the limelight, Xu Xuan is now in full swing!
Brother Antetokounmpo wants to cross Xu Xuan, the difficulty is not so high!
But even if it is not No.1, Antetokounmpo must be the top three in the future!
Xu Xuan, Alphabet, and Nongmei, these three people are the "troika in the next ten years!"
Except for Xu Xuan, Antetokounmpo's ranking may be higher than thick eyebrows!
The last place in the Eastern Conference playoffs is the Chicago Bulls with a record of 41 wins and 41 losses.
It is more regrettable that the ninth Heat record is also 41 wins and 41 losses.
At the beginning of the season, due to Pat Riley's insistence, Wade left Miami, where he had played for 13 years, in despair, and went home to join the Bulls, which also sparked a discussion about "loyalty" among the fans.Without Wade, many fans believe that the Heat will be in a slump, and they will even rebuild through bad performance.Their poor 11 wins before the winning streak are not much better than the Nets, Suns, and 76ers.
Unexpectedly, the situation changed suddenly. Under the leadership of Waiters, the Heat actually played a wave of 13 consecutive victories (this is the team with the lowest winning percentage and the longest winning streak in league history), including the game that beat the Warriors. Ninth in the Eastern Conference, Spoelstra was also re-elected as the best head coach of the month in the Eastern Conference after a few months.Soon after, they double-killed home and away to win the favorite Cavaliers within three days, which is even more legendary.
If it weren't for the Bulls' "lore" at the last moment, the Heat regrettably ranked ninth in the Eastern Conference with the same record and missed the playoffs. Their brilliance will continue for a while.
The tenth in the Eastern Conference is the Detroit Pistons with a record of 37 wins and 45 losses. The No. 11 is the Charlotte Hornets with a record of 36 wins and 46 losses. The No. 12 is the New York Knicks with a record of 31 wins and 51 losses.
Speaking of the Knicks, the Knicks still had high hopes at the beginning of the season. The lineup of Anthony, Rose, Porzines, Noah, Jennings, and Lee has a strong book.It's a pity that the whole team didn't have any chemical reaction, and the stars couldn't call each other, and finally fell out of the playoffs.It's regrettable but reasonable.This can also be seen from their farce that lasted throughout the season.
Ross first appeared, and a case of sexually interfering with his ex-girlfriend caused a lot of trouble in the city.During the season, Ross was absent from work without reason, and was fined more than 20 US dollars.In April, Rose also had a relapse of an old injury, a torn meniscus, and was reimbursed for the season.His good friend Noah, who had already been injured, was suspended for 4 games for violating the anti-doping regulations, and his reputation and salary were lost.Jennings, who was in the same class as Curry in the team, didn't want to waste himself. He voluntarily applied for the termination of his contract to join the championship team, and finally chose the Washington Wizards.
The most typical one is Anthony. On the trade deadline, the New York boss started media hype. For a while, the non-Cavalier Clippers and the Lakers would not go, for a while he said he would swap clubs with Love, and for a while he teamed up with Paul.When the Knicks bid farewell to the playoffs, owner Dolan directly and publicly stated that he would sell Anthony.I think Anthony was also a top not for sale back then, but now he is being bargained for, all kinds of disgust, it is also embarrassing to think about it.
Speaking of which, this is Xu Xuan's first team after entering the league. How can I say that, as giants, the gap between the Knicks and the Lakers is really big.
