Chapter 101: End of the regular season

As time went into March, the schedule became more dense and intense.
The Wizards' schedule in March is not particularly friendly. 10 of the 16 games are away games. There are three back-to-back games in the 10 away games. Among them, there are four consecutive bad games.
Among these opponents, there are many Lakers, the Celtics and Magic, the top teams in the league. A little carelessness may be a wave of losing streak.
However, the intensive schedule and fierce confrontation easily lead to hidden injuries, and Wang Xiao had to start preventing this from happening.
Since the beginning of March, the Wizards’ daily training has begun to decrease. At the same time, in the game, the main players’ playing time has been slightly reduced. Players such as Butler and Jamieson who have reached the age of 30 or more are scheduled to take a break on the road. .
Under such circumstances, the Wizards' record has been affected.
The away game against the Celtics, the Eagles and the bet against the direct rival Magic all lost. Fortunately, the Magic did not feel well in March.
At the beginning of the beginning of March, the Magic got up and chased, winning a seven-game winning streak, and directly completed the pursuit of the Wizards. The two teams had the same record, only trailing the Wizards by half a win in terms of mutual wins and losses.
In the away game against the Wizards, the Magic’s Howard Universe broke out, hitting 67% of free throws, directly smashing the execution of the Wizards’ shark-cutting tactics, thus defeating the Wizards and completing the record overtake.
Fortunately, the imposing magic team suffered a two-game losing streak, and the Wizards immediately seized the opportunity and caught up.
When the time came to the end of March, the Wizards still led the Magic in second place in the East with a slight advantage of a win or loss.
By the end of March, the Wizards' record had reached 52 wins and 22 losses, and the win rate remained above 70%.
Such a fantastic record has made Washington's football fans wonder how to describe it!
The last time the Wizards scored more than 50 wins in a season went back to the 1970s. At that time, the Wizards were also called the Bullets. They obtained All-Star center Elvin Hayes through a deal and used Hayes as a team. Core, won the best record in team history, 60 wins and 22 losses!
Since then, the Wizards have never won more than 50 games in any season.
In a blink of an eye, it was 2010. The Washington Bullets became the Washington Wizards. The owner of the team passed away. He was seen as a hope to revive the team. General Arenas was traded and left the team. No one thought that he was so turbulent. In a year, the Wizards can actually play such a fantastic record!
At this moment, even if it is a fool, understand why the Wizards can get such a good record.
Wang Xiao! It was his arrival that brought the Wizards something different.
50 wins in a single season!
Jordan, who came back, failed to do so, and Chris Webb, who grew up as an All-Star power forward in the Wizards, failed to do so. General Arenas did not do the same thing, but Wang Xiao only spent one season. I did it! And it’s so easy!
You know, there are 8 games before the end of the regular season. The Wizards who have won 52 wins can win at least half of these 8 games. By then, the Wizards will have a record of 56 wins or more!
In fact, it is similar to what the fans of the ball expected.
auzw.com After a fierce March, the rest is the final work of the final regular season in April.
In the final eight games in April, the Wizards scored 6 wins and 2 losses. The final record was 58 wins and 24 losses, with a win rate of 70.7%, ranking second in the East, second only to the Cavaliers who won 62 wins and 20 losses.
58 wins not only ranks second in the East, even in the league, it still ranks second.
The first Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference ended up with 57 wins and 25 losses. The Wizards lost one more game, while the Wizards' direct rival Magic in the East recorded 56 wins and 26 losses.
The end of the regular season also made the season's grand prizes gradually clear.
The first thing to determine is naturally the honor of hard data.
The Trail Blazers Kevin Durant became the new scoring leader with an average of 31 points per game, and was still the youngest scoring leader in league history at 21 years and 197 days!
Although with the performance of rookies such as Curry and Harden, people no longer question Wang Xiao’s vision, and even praise Wang Xiaohui’s eye recognition more than once, but Durant’s explosive performance still surprised the ball fans. Endless.
However, Durant alone cannot fully show Wang Xiao's ability.
Stephen Curry scored slightly lower in March and April. After the regular season, the average score was fixed at 26.5 points, which is second only to Durant’s 31 points in the league. James’s 29.7 points, Anthony’s 28 points and Kobe’s 27 points rank fifth, followed by Wade’s 26.4 points, with Monta Ellis’ 25.5 points and Nowitzki’s 25 Minute……
The rookie season averaged 25+ points. The last player to get such a high score was Michael Jordan, but Curry and Jordan were very different because his main scoring method was a three-pointer.
This season, Curry averaged 10.7 three-point attempts per game, shooting 43%. He made 4.6 three-pointers per game, removed a few rounds and missed games due to illness. Curry played 77 games throughout the season In the game, a total of 354 three-pointers were scored throughout the season!
This is a near-thrilling number!
You know, the previous three-point record in the NBA league was 269 by Ray Allen in the 05-06 season!
Curry, a first-year rookie, actually improved this record from 269 to 354 in the first season!
Curry has almost no suspense to become the new three-point king. At the same time, the average of 26.5 points per game and 6 assists data also made this year's best rookie candidate lose his suspense.
Of course, Curry is not alone.
The Wizards' sixth man, James Harden, was also shocked by four players this season.
Although the average of 18 points and 8.4 assists per game is not as good as Curry, it can definitely be regarded as the league's top data. The average 8.4 assists per game is the sixth highest in the league.
Although in the selection of the best rookie is far inferior to Curry, but such data, the league's best sixth person award is basically properly won.
The Wizards' two rookie performances exploded, while the team's two veteran figures fell slightly.
Antoine Jamison averaged 17.8 points and 6 rebounds per game this season, but Butler's score dropped from 20.8 points last season to 15.2 points.
This is a matter of course. The ball rights and the number of shots are limited. Curry and Harden occupy a lot of the team's shot rights. Jamison and Butler naturally have a lot less shot rights. This season, they did What's more, at the bottom corner or top arc position, using the threat of a three-point shot to help Curry and Harden pull space.
