Chapter 672: 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. The difference between the two teams is only 2 wins, not too much.
But there is no way. People are ahead of you with two wins. You just can't make the playoffs, you can only watch.
Last season, the Trail Blazers, who lost their five main players last season, ended up ranking fifth in the West. However, this season’s Trail Blazers had a bad start in the first half of the season. Their rankings have always been in the middle and lower reaches. Ramley traded Nurkic from the Nuggets to become the Blazers' rejuvenation technique. Nurkic became the third team leader in Portland. The strong pick-and-roll provided by the arrival of Nurkic also indirectly led to it. Lillard broke out again, but how should I say, I was a little behind before, even if they performed well after the All-Star Game, they still failed to make them into the playoff roster.
After confirming that the team could not make the playoffs, Lillard posted a message on Twitter. The specific content was not mentioned, but the general idea was that he was not lucky and didn't even make the playoffs. And the playoffs are getting more and more unsightly. Without him, the game is not pretty at all...
How should I put it, Lillard is still super confident in himself.
I think he is the eldest of the sky, the second of the earth, and Damian Lillard is the third!
Not only did he look down on others, he also looked down on Xu Xuan, Curry, Durant, and James.
However, the future generations of profit guidance are indeed vigorous, known as "the madman of the lore" and the "heart paused"!
It means that this guy's heart is really too big, and he can play at critical moments, just like opening a G.
It is indeed a bit outrageous, all kinds of lore are the same as drinking boiled water.
Tenth in the West is the Denver Nuggets, with a record of 40 wins and 42 losses.
Eleventh in the West is the New Orleans Pelicans, with a record of 34 wins and 48 losses.
The twelfth in the West is the Dallas Mavericks, with a record of 33 wins and 49 losses.
The 13th in the West is the Sacramento Kings, with a record of 32 wins and 50 losses.
The fourteenth in the West is the Minnesota Timberwolves, with a record of 31 wins and 51 losses, second to last in the West.
The fifteenth in the Western Conference is the Phoenix Suns, with a record of 34 wins and 58 losses, the bottom of the Western Conference!
This way the western rankings have been set.
Let's look at the east again.
The first in the East is the Boston Celtics.
After nine years, the Celtics have returned to the top of the Eastern Conference.
The power of time is really terrible. In the 2013-14 season, the Green Army was 25 wins and 57 losses, 12th in the East; in the 2014-15 season, the Green Army was 40 wins and 42 losses, and the East was 7th; in the 2015-16 season, the Green Army was 48 wins and 34 losses, and the East was fifth; In the 2016-17 season, the Green Army was 53 wins and 29 losses, ranking first in the Eastern Conference.
From 12th, 7th, 5th, and 1st in the East, from rebuilding to reaching the top of the East, the Green Army only took four years, not counting Anji's handful of draft picks.
The strongest on the surface is 175. The average points per game has risen from 22.2 points per game last season to 28.9 points per game this season, with 9.8 points per game in the fourth quarter.
- Thomas Jr. accidentally became the second in team history, second only to Larry Bird's 29.9 points per game in the 1987-198888 season.
In the past, the teams used to hit Thomas in two pairs to bully his height and vision. Horford used 5.0 assists per game at the center position to liberate Thomas’ offensive offense. Stevens arranged more for Thomas. Point, the Green Army is no longer afraid to pinch Thomas.
Speaking of it, it is really surprising that the Green Army has returned to No. 1 in the East.
Under Thomas' leadership, this new Green Army ushered in a transformation this season, and eventually overtook the Cavaliers in the regular season to sit as the top trader in the Eastern Conference.
The second place in the east is naturally a knight.
Unknowingly, the old man played 37.8 minutes per game this season, leading the league, and it was 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%, the league's 12th, 13 triple-doubles, the first player in history to reach "2800070007000", but the Cavaliers only achieved a record of 51 wins and 31 losses, second in the East. In theory, the Cavaliers' regular season performance is not satisfactory; but from the perspective of the old man, there is no difference between the Cavaliers' eighth in the East and the number one in the East.
The regular season is too long. The Cavaliers have been busy running the lineup throughout the season. New aids come and they are running in; the old guys are hurt and they are running in; the injury is coming back and they are running in.
The instability of the lineup has 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 and the new high.
In 2014, James declared 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 the former team Heat. Knowing that he did not work properly, in the next two years, as long as Emperor Zhan meets the Heat, he will definitely find a reason for a truce. Even if he can fight and stand on the court, he will always work hard.
However, this season, Wade and the enthusiasm froze, leaving Chicago. The scope that James has to take care of has become larger and larger in desperation. The emperor did his best to calm the emotions of all parties. In the regular season, the Cavaliers played the Bulls in 4 games. Zhan Huang continued the strategy of passive sabotage. In 4 games, the Cavaliers lost the battle without exception; and Zhan Huang did the same with the Heat 4 times Not being ruthless, the Cavaliers lost three of them. Going out in 7 games inside and outside, the Cavaliers don't want to be in a ranking crisis, I'm afraid it will be difficult.
James is still the best basketball player on the planet, and this is true. But in the past two years, as the age passed 30, the emperor thought more and more things. In addition to playing, he also began to become more and more frequently involved in non-basketball affairs. Many times, when it comes to Zhan Huang, you can no longer define him as a pure athlete. During the season, he will subtly use social networks to interfere with the operation of the management; he will participate in the negotiation of labor-management agreements with his friend Paul and others. He will act in movies, participate in variety shows, and even participate in politics and participate in the assistance of presidential candidates. Select activities.
Even if, as a player, a head star, James still does his best. However, as a 30-year-old veteran, it is inevitable that Zhanhuang will experience incompetence in the game.
If only from the data point of view, James's performance this season seems to be far better than the previous two years. He averaged 26.4 points per game, a new high since returning to the Cavaliers, averaging 8.6 rebounds and 8.7 assists per game, which is a career high. In addition, the emperor's 13 triple-doubles in the season is also a miracle that has never been seen in his career. If Xu Xuan and Westbrook do not steal the limelight, perhaps, Zhan Huang is completely possible to get the 5th MVP trophy in his career.
However, behind the gorgeous data, people vaguely discovered that James' communication with his teammates has become less. During the game, there were more and more scenes where he played sullenly, and the sidelines were sulking and the number of times of sulking was also increasing. I originally thought that the regular season, which could be paddling for health and relaxing, ended up in a quagmire in Zhan Huang's lament and calculations.
On the last day of the regular season, James chose to give up strategically and watched the Celtics ascend to the top of the Eastern Conference. Of course, for Zhan Huang, who is used to seeing big storms, this setback is really not a big deal.
Third in the East is the Toronto Raptors, with a record of 51 wins and 31 losses, just like the Cavaliers.
At the beginning of the season, the Raptors had excellent double-gun collisions, and the Raptors shooting guard DeMar DeRozan's performance was extremely strong. At the beginning of the season, the Raptors scored more than 30 points in 10 times in the first 12 games, leading the scoring list at the beginning of the season. The classic shooting guard style, which uses the back mid-shot as the main attack method, is praised by the majority of fans as Kobe's successor. With the deepening of the season, DeRozan's scoring performance has declined, but he averaged 27.3 points and 5.2 points per game throughout the season. The rebounding 3.9 assists is amazing enough.
The fourth in the East is the Wizards.
The Wizards were a team in the Eastern Lotto last season, but this season they finally made a strong entry into the playoffs with the fourth place in the Eastern Conference, and they have only 4 wins with the Eastern Conference boss Celtics. The gap, 49 wins and 33 losses record is their team’s best record in recent years, and the Wizards’ ability to achieve such an excellent record is closely related to the outstanding performance of their team leader John Wall. Er is able to score 23.1 points and 10.6 assists per game for top point guards. If Xu Xuan and Westbrook are not playing too well, Wall's data and this year's record can be used to compete for MVP, and the other is the team's two. Stars Bradley Beal and Otto Porter also played the best performance of their career this season. The top backcourt combination is supplemented by top 3D players. It is definitely not luck for the Wizards to be fourth in the Eastern Conference.
The fifth in the East is the Atlanta Hawks.
The record is 43 wins and 39 losses, the Hawks are still a solid team, known as the "Eastern Spurs", it is no surprise that this team made the playoffs.
The sixth in the East is the Pacers, with a record of 42 wins and 40 losses.
Although the Pacers did not have Xu Xuan this season, they still made the playoffs tenaciously under the leadership of Pickles, and ranked 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 were not for the injury, they should have been ranked better in the regular season. The absence of the main small forward Middleton in the early season has greatly affected them, and the main force of the team in the middle of the season. Forward Jabari Park’s season reimbursement has buried a layer of haze on the prospects of the Bucks, and even the main backup scorer like Beasley can’t escape the blessings of injuries, and the Bucks finally stumbled into the season. Playoffs. But the biggest gain of the Bucks this season is that Antetokounmpo Antetokounmpo has grown into a superstar in the league. His potential this season has surprised everyone. In the future, he may even reach the top of the league. This is only the fourth year of his career.
But everyone knows that if Brother Antetokounmpo wants to reach the top, the biggest opponent is not someone else, but Xu Xuan.
Compared with the brother Jianan who just got up in the limelight, Xu Xuan is now in full swing!
Brother Alphabet wants to cross Xu Xuan, but the difficulty is not that high!
But even if he is not the first person, Antetokounmpo must be the top three in the future!
Xu Xuan, the alphabet, and thick eyebrows, these three people are the "troika in the next ten years!"
In addition to Xu Xuan, the ranking of Brother Jianzhu may be higher than that of thick eyebrows!
The last player in the Eastern Conference playoffs is the Chicago Bulls, with a record of 41 wins and 41 losses.
Regrettably, 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 played for 13 years, and went home to join the Bulls. This also triggered a discussion about "loyalty" among the fans. Losing Wade, many fans believe that the Heat will be devastated and will even rebuild by stumbling. Their poor 11 wins before the winning streak are not much better than the Nets, Suns, and 76ers.
Unexpectedly, the situation has changed. Under the leadership of Waiters, the Heat actually played a 13-game winning streak (this is the team with the least winning streak in the history of the league), including the game that beat the Warriors, which instantly became Ninth in the East, Spoel was re-elected as the head coach of the Eastern Month after a few months. Soon after, they won the favorite Cavaliers with home and away double play in three days, which is even more legendary.
If it weren’t for the Bulls’ last-minute
lore
, the Heat would be ranked ninth in the Eastern Conference with the same record and missed the playoffs. Their brilliance will continue for some time~EbookFREE.me~The tenth in the Eastern Conference is the Detroit Pistons, the record It was 37 wins and 45 losses, the eleventh was the Charlotte Hornets, with a record of 36 wins and 46 losses, and the twelfth was 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. Anthony, Rose, Porzininis, Noah, Jennings, and Lee have a strong book. It's a pity that the team didn't have any chemical reaction, and the stars could not call, and eventually fell out of the playoffs. Regretful but reasonable. This can also be seen from their farce that lasted the entire season.
Let me tell you, the novel app I'm using recently, [\\mi\\mi\\read\\app\\\\] Android and Apple phones support it!
Rose played first, and the case of a sex-qin ex-girlfriend made the city full of storms. During the season, Rose was absent from work for no reason and was fined more than $200,000. In April, Rose also suffered a relapse of his old injury, a torn meniscus, and was reimbursed for the season. His good Keyou Noah, who had already been injured, was banned for 20 games for violating the drug prohibition regulations, and suffered losses in credibility and salary. The nerve knife Jennings in the team and Curry didn't want to waste himself. He took the initiative to apply for termination and join the championship team. In the end, he chose the Washington Wizards.
The most typical is Anthony. On the trade deadline, the New York boss began to hype in the media. For a while, the Clippers and the Lakers would not go, and for a while, he would exchange owners with Love, and for a while he would join with Paul. When the Knicks bid farewell to the playoffs, owner Dolan directly publicly stated that he would sell Anthony. Thinking that Anthony was also a top not-for-sale product back then, and now he is being bargained, all kinds of dislikes, it is also a bit embarrassing to think about it.
Speaking of it, this is Xu Xuan's first team after entering the league. How can I say that, as a giant, the Knicks and the Lakers are compared, and the gap is really big.
