Chapter 621: 2009~2010 Regular Season Ranking

"The person I want to thank the most for winning this championship is Sun. He made me believe that I can do it. That's very, very important."
In Curry's acceptance speech, he put Sun Hao first, and his words were true.
This is completely understandable, Sun Hao is really very important to him, second only to his father Lao Curry.
You should know that Sun Hao took him to train when he was very young, and the help he came here this way was countless.
Including the loss of himself he played in the Warriors before, it was Sun Hao who made him believe in his talent.
Sun Hao helped him realize this again before the extra time of this three-pointer contest.
There were cheers on the scene.
Ten years, from one three-pointer to another three-pointer.
And these two three-pointers both have historical talents in shooting.
This is the best heritage!
Amidst the cheers, the photographer gave the lens to Sun Hao.
Another staff member with eyesight and hand quickly handed the microphone to Sun Hao.
Obviously this is to hope him say something.
"Actually, I really want to make the last goal."
Sun Hao was a little unprepared, but he still told the truth.
There was a burst of laughter at the scene.
This is true, but also very humorous.
The atmosphere that was originally very moving suddenly became very joyful.
"Stephen, don't thank anyone. Any achievements you have made in the past, present, and future are all your own."
After the humor was over, Sun Hao also said something to his heart.
The laughter at the scene quickly turned into cheers and whistles.
Including Jordan also smiled and applauded Sun Hao.
Sun Hao's current humorous and golden sentence style is really very charming.
After the three-pointer contest, the slam dunk contest followed.
Although Sun Hao did not participate, the topic of this year's dunk contest is still somewhat.
Among them, Nate Robinson has twice defended the championship, this time if he can continue to win, he will become an unprecedented triple crown.
And this time he is not without challengers. The biggest challenger is the second-year student, Demar DeRozan who is known as "Carter Second".
DeRozan also really showed his ability to dunk. After a teammate hit the side of the basket, the windmill on the side scored the first 50 points of the game.
With this buckle, he reached the final with the first result in the preliminaries, which meant to block the Robinson dynasty.
However, in the finals, the performance of the two is relatively mediocre and lack of dunk creativity.
It feels like you watch some action movies that have a perfect start, but when you enter the actual combat, you just pull your crotch and feel dull.
Because this time the dunk contest is reorganized, it is no longer the judges that decide the final victory, but the votes of the fans.
In the case of general performance, the fans still voted Robinson was elected the dunk king, fulfilled his three consecutive feats.
So the data is right to lie.
If you hadn't watched this dunk contest, you would really feel how incredible Robinson's triple straight is.
And it’s very interesting that what fans talk about most on social media at this time is not the dunk contest itself, but shouting for Sun Hao to come back.
After all, the three-pointer competition was actually very low in attention and viewing before, but because of Sun Hao's comeback, the attention and viewing was full.
Now the dunk contest also needs Sun Hao to "save".
Then Durant forwarded all these comments to Sun Hao in real time.
Sun Hao just smiled after reading it.
This guy really follows social media all the time.
But in the dunk contest, his interest is actually more general.
His slam dunk ability is still weak compared to his three-point ability, especially when compared to those fierce men in the NBA.
To win the championship before, more of them copied the ideas of the predecessors.
But the ideas that suit him almost ran out last time, so he still didn't try to force it.
People are expensive.
After the dunk contest, Sun Hao was surrounded by a group of reporters for an interview.
When the interview was over, he realized that Durant was missing.
Even Curry didn't know where Durant had gone.
Finally, after asking a few people, I realized that Durant was heading for the training hall.
When he and Curry passed, they realized that this guy was actually practicing three-pointers.
He was so anxious before the All-Star was over. It seemed that he broke Jordan's record and it was not a small excitement for him.
Sun Hao didn't say anything, he directly pulled Curry up to practice with him.
Ever since, a reporter passing by inadvertently caught this scene.
The next day, the news came out about the Warriors' Three Young All-Star Game Day training hall sweating and practicing three-pointers.
This moment became a wave of topics again.
Some fans think this is a hype, but more fans are shocked by this.
With such an attitude of the Warriors' three cores, why not be a champion!
On the final day of the All-Star Game, Kobe did not attend due to injury, and his position was replaced by Jason Kidd.
This year's Western Conference All-Star strength is significantly stronger than the Eastern Conference, and Sun Hao has no desire for AMVP.
Ever since, this time the All-Star Game became a performance by James and Durant.
James played a triple-double, but Durant scored the most.
Yesterday’s extra training seemed to have helped him find his three-pointer. He made 6 of 11 shots from beyond the three-point line and scored a game-high 34 points.
In the end, the MVP was a little suspenseful. Durant defeated James with a slight advantage and was elected the MVP.
No matter who the two are elected, there are enough reasons and enough controversy. At this time, Durant's host advantage played a role.
When hearing the results, Durant's performance was as true as ever, and he made no secret of his excitement.
Curry matched Sun Hao in the three-pointer contest, he chased Sun Hao on AMVP, and he didn't miss much!
"Sun chose me, inspired me, and made me successful!"
Then, the most interesting thing is that Durant's acceptance speech also focused on thanking Sun Hao.
As a result, it was obviously Curry and Durant who won the prize, but the fans found that Sun Hao had the strongest sense of existence in the end.
This is probably unprecedented.
The All-Star Game came to an end, and the attention of fans returned to the game soon.
Because the trade deadline has been advanced to before the All-Star Game, fans are more concerned about the buyout deadline at this time.
This is also the last chance for each team to reinforce each season.
And there are many players who are expected to be bought out this year.
For example, "Big Z" Ilgoskas, the 35-year-old Lithuanian has also reached the end of his career.
He has the last year of his contract with the Cavaliers, and he is expected to buy out with the team with a high probability, and then pursue his dream of championship.
Although the big Z is old, but the height is there after all, it is not a problem to be a substitute.
If he is bought out, he is expected to become a sought-after item in the free market.
The Warriors are also expected to be one of the chasers.
This has to be traced back to the previous McGrady transaction.
The Warriors sent out 4 players in that trade center, but only got 2 players.
As long as it is not a math and physical education, simple mathematical calculations will know that the Warriors currently have only 13 people on the roster.
Because there were no good players to reinforce in the free market, the Warriors had nothing to do before and aimed at the buyout market this year.
One piece of knowledge that needs to be mentioned here is that the so-called buyout deadline means that players are bought out before that day to be eligible to represent the new team in this year's playoffs.
In other words, it does not mean that if you are bought out on this day, you must sign on this day.
So the Warriors are not in a hurry to fill up their spots so quickly.
After all, the goal of the team this year is to compete for the championship, every player will appear very important.
And I have to mention that the Warriors have a good salary structure before entering the season, so that even if they get a big deal from Tracy McGrady, they still have a middle class exception to use.
This will make them aggressive in the buyout market.
In a blink of an eye, the deadline for the buyout came, and on that day Ilgauskas was bought out as expected.
Including Ricky Davis, who was traded to the Timberwolves last summer, was also bought out.
These are all expected, and the unexpected Wizards side Finley also bought out.
Of course, unlike being bought out, Finley took the initiative to buy out.
The Wizards suddenly joined Josh Howard and Matthews in the previous deal. He has few chances.
And his performance in the Wizards this season has dropped significantly compared to last season.
This is entirely due to age. The player who has partnered with Sun Hao for the longest time before is now 37 years old.
Not surprisingly, he should retire from the NBA after this season.
So with this buyout, he basically wants to rush for the championship at the end.
His next home is actually very good to judge.
It can even be said that he will buy out with the Wizards. In addition to the opportunities mentioned above, it has a certain relationship with the next home after the negotiation.
On the second day of the buyout day, Finley was revealed to have signed a basic salary contract with the Warriors.
This is clearly going to Sun Hao.
Moreover, the Warriors are now reimbursed by Azubuike for the season, and Tracy McGrady is in danger of injury. They really need a veteran in this position.
Then, the Warriors went on to win Ilgauskas with a one-year full middle class exception.
Other competing teams are only envious.
After all, Finley is interested in some championship teams, and their middle class exception was strengthened as early as the beginning of the season.
This wave of operations by Jerry West is really cruel.
But I can also understand why he would do that.
Although Hayes performed well, but his height is a flawed, this is okay in the regular season, and will be infinitely targeted in the playoffs.
If the big Z is also recruited, the flexible use of two substitutes in the face of different teams will make them a lot safer inside.
As for whether the contract itself is a premium, it does not seem so important.
Just like in history, the Nets are willing to pay more than 100 million luxury taxes.
Don't think the boss and management are stupid, this is a big bet. The rewards for winning the bet are more than those invested.
The lineup is determined, and the Warriors also have the final break-in, and by the way, they have consolidated their position in the regular season.
Before the All-Star Game, the Warriors were the team with the best record in the Western Conference, and this will also be their goal in the second half.
Time flickered, and came to late April in a blink of an eye.
After a fierce battle, the NBA curtain of the 2009~2010 season finally came to an end.
The ranking of the east and west is also finalized.
Let's look at the east side first.
Ranked first in the regular season is the Chicago Bulls, who have achieved a record of 59 wins and 23 losses.
This result fully illustrates one thing: a momentary strength is not really strong, but continuous strength is really strong!
The teams that held the Bulls firmly under them in the past: The Celtics are a little weak because of their age. After the Wizards Tracy McGrady is injured, even if they trade for Josh Howard, it will be difficult to stop the decline, and the Magic are even more in vain. Let go of Turkoglu.
In the end, the Bulls, who embraced the main lineup with all their strength, stood out.
The Magic ranked second with 58 wins.
The Celtics ranked third with 53 wins.
The Pacers ranked fourth with 50 wins.
The Heat ranked fifth with 47 wins.
The Hawks ranked sixth with 46 wins.
The Bucks ranked seventh with 44 wins.
The Hornets ranked eighth with 41 wins.
Looking at this record, we know that the overall strength of the East this year has declined significantly compared to a few years ago.
And at this time I have to mention the Pacers.
I don't know if it was because no one was selected for the All-Star Game, the players started to exert their strength in the second half of the season, and they rushed to the upper half.
Still the same sentence, everything is more than just looking at the present, you still have to look farther.
Let's look at the west side again.
The intensity of competition in the west this year is one level higher than that in the east.
However, in such a competitive atmosphere, the Warriors, although somewhat thrilling in the end, still retained their top spot in the Western Conference.
They finally ranked first in the Western Conference with 57 wins.
Someone might say why the Warriors' 57 wins are worse than the Bulls and Magic, and they can still get the first place.
Just look at the record of the following teams.
The Clippers ranked second with 55 wins.
The Nuggets ranked third with 54 wins.
The Mavericks ranked fourth with 54 wins.
The Suns ranked fifth with 53 wins.
The Trail Blazers ranked sixth with 50 wins.
The Spurs ranked seventh with 50 wins.
The Grizzlies ranked eighth with 50 wins.
The Hornets ranked ninth with 49 wins!
This invisible win gap only shows one thing: these teams have completely killed the red eye in order to compete for the postseason seats and rankings!
Moreover, after Delong's 58 Rong, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com has 49 wins this year and won a lottery title. I don't know who to talk about it!
This fate is much tragic than Paul at the time.
However, there are some surprises in this ranking.
Such as the Suns.
In fact, there are not many people left from the original bombardment of the Suns, including the meaning of the last rescue after trading Camby.
But I didn't expect that Nash and Stoudemire were in exceptionally good form this season, not only bringing the team into the playoffs in fierce competition, but also in the upper half.
Another example is the Grizzlies, who successfully squeezed the Hornets out at the last moment.
This youth army led by Ross, Gay, Deng and Gasol showed outstanding competitiveness.
They will also be the Warriors' opponents in the first round of this year's playoffs!
