Chapter 848 The Regular Season Ends, an Extraordinary and Magical Season!

On April 15, 2009, the last day of the NBA, the world-famous battle between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Miami Heat finally came to an end.

Under Yes's buzzer beater, the Seattle SuperSonics, who were ultimately considered more than 97% likely to lose, defeated the Miami Heat in the away game and won this crucial game.

Through the victory in this key game, the Seattle SuperSonics also successfully squeezed out the Houston Rockets, who ranked first in the regular season last season, and entered the playoffs!

At the same time, the topic caused by the game between the Sonics and the Heat did not end with the end of the game.

This game was a miraculous five-double+win.

In this game, James' miraculous loyalty to Yes was touching.

And at the end of the game, Wade, who had always supported James, finally broke with James.

All of this makes this game full of topics!

And it's the kind of topic that may continue to be debated.

Of course, no matter how popular the game between the Sonics and Heat is, it is still an ordinary regular season game.

On April 15th, the NBA does not just have one regular season game.

On the last day of the regular season of this season, the key regular season game in the NBA is not just the SuperSonics and Heat game.

For example, the Timberwolves, sixth in the Western Conference, and the Suns, seventh in the Western Conference, also had a game. In the end, the Suns defeated the Timberwolves and defended their seventh position in the Western Conference.

At the same time, in the playoff competition in the Eastern Conference, in the key battle for sixth place in the Eastern Conference, the 76ers faced the Cavaliers who rested O'Neal in an away game. They defeated Cliff Cliff 111-110 in an overtime game. Lan Cavaliers.

As long as the Bulls lose the game between the Pacers and the Bulls on the other side, the 76ers will become sixth in the Eastern Conference.

But unfortunately, in the other game between the Bulls and the Pacers, the Bulls also defeated their opponents 109-108 at home. Rose defeated the Pacers with a three-pointer. In the end, the Bulls defended their sixth position in the Eastern Conference.

At this point, all rankings of the entire NBA's Eastern and Western Conferences for the 2008-2009 season have been released.

In the East, although the Cleveland Cavaliers suffered James' betrayal this season,

But under the leadership of O'Neal, and with the help of star players such as David Lee, Richard Jefferson, Deron Williams and Daniel Gibson, the Cavaliers achieved a historic result in this year's regular season.

This season, the Cleveland Cavaliers, with 67 wins and 15 losses, defeated the Spurs, who were first in the Western Conference, and the Heat, who had won 26 games in the Eastern Conference's final 27 games, to win first place in the Eastern Conference and first in the league.

This season O'Neal's strength and the performance of all five Cavaliers starters averaging over 20 points per game also made Cavaliers fans who lost James even shout "Who is James!" when the Cavaliers' last game started? ’ slogan.

O'Neal and his new Cavaliers completely turned Cleveland into a new country of their own in just one season.

The first place in the Eastern Conference is the well-deserved Cavaliers, while the second place in the Eastern Conference is the Miami Heat with 63 wins and 19 losses.

Although they won 26 of the last 27 games, this invincible Big Five team did have too many things happen in front.

So much so that the final performance was greatly affected.

Even after the regular season ended, seeing the rare public infighting between James and Wade, many people were wondering whether this Big Five team would encounter any huge trouble in the playoffs.

In the Eastern Conference, the team occupying the third position is the Boston Celtics. The Boston Celtics have been the No. 1 team in the Eastern Conference in the past few seasons and are the well-deserved Eastern Conference hegemons.

But this season, the Boston Celtics, with the Seattle SuperSonics as their imaginary enemy, encountered a lot of trouble. The sudden rise of the Eastern Conference Cavaliers and Heat caught them off guard.

When the team built with the SuperSonics as their imaginary enemy faced the Cavaliers and Heat, the Boston Celtics struggled a bit.

In addition to sweeping the Sonics this season, the Celtics have swept the Sonics in the regular season for three consecutive seasons.

It can be seen that their idea of ​​building a team with the SuperSonics as their imaginary enemy is very correct, but this season is not very successful. At least, the regular season is not that successful. A record of 58 wins and 24 losses is not good for the Celtics. It is indeed difficult to call it a success.

If this team wants to succeed this season, it may have to pray that it can break through from the East, and at the same time, it is the SuperSonics that can break through in the West.

It's very difficult.

In addition to the first three super teams in the East, occupying the fourth position is the Washington Wizards with a record of 48 wins and 34 losses.

If the Boston Celtics lost their dominance of the Eastern Conference due to the rise of the Cavaliers and Heat, then the Washington Wizards also lost their position as a powerful challenger in the Eastern Conference because of the rise of these two teams.

In the past few seasons, due to the strength of the Celtics, the Wizards have always been the number one challenger team under the leadership of Arenas.

But this season, although the Wizards are also working hard to become the strongest challenger in the Eastern Conference, it is obvious that the strength gap between the Wizards and the previous three teams is widening.

Because of Arenas' existence, maybe the Wizards can still beat any team in a certain game.

But this kind of brilliance in a certain game can no longer make the Wizards a challenger in the Eastern Conference that is now full of strong teams.

Of course, despite losing their position as the strongest challenger team, the Wizards, under the leadership of Arenas, still firmly occupy the first place in the Eastern Conference's second group.

There is a big gap between them and the previous Big Three in the Eastern Conference, but among the second-tier teams, the Wizards are still outstanding.

The team currently ranked fifth in the Eastern Conference is the Orlando Magic with a record of 42 wins and 40 losses.

This season, the Magic's young center Howard has become more mature.

Coupled with the addition of former SuperSonics and Raptors star player Rashard Lewis, the Magic's performance this season can be considered quite stable.

Because of the existence of the top three in the Eastern Conference and the top nine in the Western Conference, the league has 12 quite super teams.

Because of the existence of these 12 super teams, it is really not easy for other ordinary teams in the league to achieve a 50% winning rate.

The Magic can be considered an ordinary team, but they have maintained the bottom line of the team's 50% winning rate.

At the same time, the Magic have become one of the only two teams outside of these 12 super teams with a winning rate of more than 50%. The other one is the Wizards, ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference.

It is really difficult for ordinary NBA teams this year. Because of the existence of 12 3+9 teams in the East and West, many ordinary NBA teams are joking in private. For them, there are thirty games in a season. The game is bound to be lost.

There are only 82 games in a season, and there are only 52 games that can really win.

There are 52 games that can be won, and it takes 41 wins to achieve a 50% winning rate, which is quite difficult.

This is why the Rockets lost to many ordinary teams that shouldn't have lost due to early running-in problems, even though they performed very well in the second half and performed very well in strong dialogue, they almost failed to enter the playoffs. s reason.

This year, whether it is the East or the West, the polarization is too serious.

Judging from the record, the entire league seems to have only the Wizards and Magic as mid-level teams. Of course, Chris Paul's Thunder also won more than 50% of the games, but after Paul was injured for the season, the Thunder's record collapsed.

The top five records in the Eastern Conference are all teams with a winning rate of over 50%, but after reaching sixth place in the Eastern Conference, it is completely different.

The current sixth team in the Eastern Conference is the Chicago Bulls, who defeated the Pacers in the last game. Under the leadership of Rose, the Chicago Bulls finally maintained their sixth position in the Eastern Conference and also knocked the Pacers out of the top eight in the Eastern Conference.

The Chicago Bulls' current record is 35 wins and 47 losses. This record is indeed not that good, but considering that the Chicago Bulls were considered one of the weakest teams in the league before the start of the season, they were able to finish sixth in the Eastern Conference. This is already very good. Very outstanding.

As the successor of Yes, this ranking is better than Yes's first season with the Sonics.

Of course, the SuperSonics entered the playoffs in the Western Conference with a record of 50+ wins.

But no matter what, the Bulls led by Rose can be regarded as one of the most surprising teams in the entire league this season. Rose himself also entered the All-Star due to such outstanding performance, and Bulls head coach Scott Brooks also became the All-Star this season. One of the biggest contenders for Coach of the Year.

Ranked seventh in the Eastern Conference is the Pistons, led by Iverson, who also have 35 wins and 47 losses. Iverson has once again achieved the achievement of averaging more than 30 points per game this season. Now he is focusing on scoring. Iverson is getting closer and closer to his goal of 30,000 points.

The last spot in the Eastern Conference to enter the playoffs belongs to the 76ers led by Iguodala. The record is also 35 wins and 47 losses. Because the Bulls won the last game, the 76ers even won themselves and defeated O'Neal's rest. The Cavaliers could only continue to rank eighth.

In addition to the eight teams in the Eastern Conference that have entered the playoffs, the Pacers are ranked ninth and the Hawks are ranked tenth. These two teams are also quite a pity. Both teams have a record of 34 wins. With 48 losses, we are really only one step away from the playoffs.

As long as the two teams finally defeat their opponents in the last game, they can enter the playoffs. Unfortunately, the Pacers lost to the Bulls and the Hawks lost to the Pistons.

In addition to these ten teams, the remaining Charlotte Hornets are 11th in the Eastern Conference, the Nets are 12th, the Raptors are 13th, the Bucks are 14th, and the New York Knicks are 15th. , the records are all quite ugly, except for the Hornets, who are led by Larry Brown, whose record of 25 wins and 57 losses looks like the same thing.

The records of other teams are really hard to watch, especially the New York Knicks, whose record this season is 10 wins and 72 losses.

It’s just crazy to lose the draft pick!

In other words, the Warriors in the Western Conference really can't win, otherwise the New York Knicks' record would definitely be last in the league.

On the Western side, the team that ultimately ranked first in the Western Conference was the Spurs with 66 wins and 16 losses. In the second half of the regular season, the record gap between the Spurs and the Dallas Mavericks has always been quite small, even evenly matched. , but it was not until the last few games that the Spurs and Mavericks decided the winner.

After defeating the Mavericks, the Spurs, who were fourth in the Western Conference last season, finally returned to the first place in the Western Conference this season and became the favorite to win this season's championship.

Because of the Heat's internal strife, the Spurs are indeed the favorite to win the league.

In the West, the team behind the Spurs is the Los Angeles Lakers with 63 wins and 19 losses.

The Los Angeles Lakers are also one of the teams that has ranked first in the Western Conference this season. In the first half of the schedule, the Los Angeles Lakers even firmly maintained the first position in the Western Conference.

But in the second half of the season, the Los Angeles Lakers lost a lot.

In fact, it's not just the Los Angeles Lakers who lost a lot in the second half of the season. The Spurs, Mavericks, Lakers, Nuggets, and Grizzlies all lost less.

This is also the reason why the Rockets are the team with the best record in the second half of the Western Conference. There are many strong dialogues in the second half of the Western Conference. Especially the Rockets, Suns, Timberwolves and SuperSonics still have a winning rate in dialogue with the top five in the Western Conference. Quite high.

For example, the Timberwolves have defeated the Mavericks, Lakers, and Spurs, while the Suns have defeated the Grizzlies, Lakers, and SuperSonics have also defeated the Spurs, Lakers, and Nuggets. As for the Rockets, needless to say, the Mavericks , Lakers, Nuggets, Grizzlies, Spurs, five teams, the Rockets have won them all!

Although winning a game is indeed nothing, it can only be said that the four teams behind the top nine in the Western Conference were even more crazy and thirsty for victory at that time.

But it can also be seen that the record in the Western Conference was indeed quite intense after the second half.

This is why many people say that except for the Spurs, any team ranked first in the Western Conference may be blackballed.

After the Spurs and Lakers, the Denver Nuggets led by Anthony are ranked third in the Western Conference. The Denver Nuggets have a record of 62 wins and 20 losses. The Denver Nuggets' record is better than the Mavericks, fourth in the Western Conference, and fifth in the Western Conference. Grizzly bears are lower.

But this team is the first in the Northwest Division. According to NBA ranking rules, the first in the division automatically occupies one of the top three positions. Therefore, although the Nuggets' record in the Western Conference is fifth in the Western Conference, their ranking is actually the Western Conference. third.

Therefore, such a ranking rule is very unfriendly to division teams that have more than one super strong team in a division.

And this very unfriendly division is naturally the Southwest Division with the Spurs, Mavericks, Grizzlies, Rockets and Thunder.

The fourth-placed Mavericks have a record of 64 wins and 18 losses. In terms of record, they are ranked second only to the Spurs, who are ranked first in the Western Conference. They should be ranked second in the Western Conference.

The Grizzlies, who are ranked fifth in the Western Conference, have a record of 63 wins and 19 losses. This team's record is the same as the Lakers, who are second in the Western Conference. Even because they have a better record against the Lakers, if they really want to compare with the Lakers in rankings If so, it should be third in the Western Conference behind the Spurs.

Ranked according to record, the top three teams in the Western Conference this year are the Spurs, Mavericks, and Grizzlies, all of which are teams in the Southwest Division.

However, according to the NBA's ranking rules, in addition to the Spurs being guaranteed the first place in the Western Conference, the Mavericks being ranked fourth, and the Grizzlies being ranked fifth, one of the two strongest teams in the Western Conference actually had to fight each other in the first round.

Ranked sixth in the Western Conference behind these five super teams is the Timberwolves. The Timberwolves' final record was 61 wins and 21 losses. The Timberwolves almost pulled the Nuggets from the first place in the Northwest Division at the last minute.

The Nuggets' two consecutive losses to the SuperSonics at the last moment really shocked this team.

That is to say, the opponents in the next schedule of the Nuggets are weaker, otherwise the Timberwolves may really overturn the Nuggets.

If we say that in the East, the most surprising teams are the Bulls led by Rose and the Cavaliers led by O'Neal. After winning the West, the most surprising team is definitely the Timberwolves led by young players such as Gay and Yi Jianlian.

This team is balanced internally and externally with almost no shortcomings, and its performance this season is really outstanding.

That is to say, this young team is in the West. There are too many strong teams in the West and they have played too many games against strong teams. If this team is placed in the East, it will be difficult for this young team to perform well in the East. Imagine…

Behind the Timberwolves, ranked seventh in the Western Conference is the Phoenix Suns, which posted a historic record of 70 wins last season.

This season the Suns are indeed not as strong as last season, but their record of 61 wins and 21 losses is still considered very good.

The Suns have not made any reinforcements this season, so it can be considered as standing still. In an environment where many teams in the Western Conference are on the rise, a team without reinforcements will fall back if it does not advance. It is normal to have such a record.

It's just obvious that although the record is passable, this ranking is not that good for the Suns.

Falling directly from second to seventh, the Rockets were even worse than them.

However, although the Suns are a little miserable, this team has entered the playoffs. At least, the Suns still have a chance to continue to compete in the playoffs.

Just like what many media hyped up at the end of the season, any team in the Western Conference that ranks first except the Spurs will be in danger of being ranked first.

This means that even if the Suns are ranked seventh, as long as they are not facing the Spurs, there is still the possibility of a black seventh.

They are going to play the Lakers in the playoffs, but the Suns have always been a favorite opponent. In the past few seasons, the Suns have often bullied the single-core Kobe.

However, Kobe is no longer a single-core player, and times have changed for the Lakers.

Behind the Suns is the Seattle SuperSonics. As the eighth seed in the Western Conference this season, the Seattle SuperSonics have a record of 60 wins and 22 losses. They are just one of the ten teams with a record of 60 wins this season. one.

This record is really outstanding for the Sonics, which lacked Durant and carried Ibaka as a cheat all season.

The competition in the Western Conference this season is much greater than last season.

The Western Conference last season was so brutal, with only 7 teams having more than 60 wins. This season, not only are there 8 teams in the Western Conference with more than 60 wins, there are 2 teams in the Eastern Conference, and there is also one team in the Western Conference with 59 wins!

Of course, although the SuperSonics performed very well in the regular season, their expectations for the playoffs are quite low.

A record of 60 wins and 22 losses can only rank eighth in the Western Conference.

If the Seattle SuperSonics is ranked seventh, sixth, or even fifth in the Western Conference, it is possible to beat them.

But it happened to be the Spurs, who had Yes's strongest terminator, Bowen.

The miracle of Yes will be restrained to the greatest extent by Bowen.

Many experts have watched the last six games between the Spurs and SuperSonics, and they unanimously found that if other Spurs players did not cause trouble for Bowen and did not go undercover, the Spurs would have won these six games!

In the playoffs, after each team's tactical discipline comes up, it is impossible for any team to mess around, not to mention the Spurs are still a very experienced team.

So the Sonics entered the playoffs in eighth place, and even the most die-hard fans Barkley and Pippen didn't have any hope.

"Our requirements for Yes and the SuperSonics are not high. The important thing is not to be swept by the Spurs."

"Anyway, Yes has already achieved a five-double and entered the playoffs. Although this season will not be successful, it will not fail either."

In the East, the Pacers and Hawks failed to enter the playoffs, which is quite a pity.

In the Western Conference, the 59-23 Rockets ultimately failed to enter the playoffs, which is even more of a pity.

The Spurs' 59-23 loss directly caused the Rockets to have the best record among teams that have missed the playoffs in NBA history.

59 wins and not being able to make the playoffs was something that no one could have imagined before this magical situation occurred this season.

Such an unimaginable thing finally happened.

This season, in the Western Conference, if you want to enter the playoffs, the minimum record required is a terrifying 60 wins!

Originally, many people thought that the 60 wins of the seven Western Conference teams last season was the most terrifying.

I didn’t expect this season to be even more terrifying.

The top nine teams in the Western Conference can all be called god-like teams this season.

In the subsequent teams, it was much more normal.

Ranking tenth in the Western Conference is the Thunder led by Chris Paul. The Thunder's final record was 39 wins and 43 losses. After Chris Paul was injured, this team eventually fell out of the ranks of teams with a winning rate of more than 50%, but it still Maintained the tenth position in the Western Conference.

Behind the Thunder are the 11th-ranked Trail Blazers and the 12th-ranked Clippers. Although the records of these two teams are not as good as the Thunder, they have a better record than the Bulls, who are sixth in the Eastern Conference. They can be ranked in the Eastern Conference. Entering the playoffs easily.

However, the Jazz, who are 13th in the Western Conference, and the Kings, who are 14th in the Western Conference, are no different from the weak teams in the Eastern Conference.

As for the Warriors, who are ranked fifteenth in the Western Conference, this team's record of 7 wins and 75 losses under the leadership of Mike Beasley this season is really shocking!

Mike Beasley's performance this season is also really outstanding, with at least 20+ points in every game and 82 consecutive games with 20+ points. This is the second player in NBA history to achieve 20+ points in a row after Yeas.

At the same time, Beasley is also the player with the third longest consecutive 20-point streak in league history after Yeas and Chamberlain.

In addition to the stability of the offense, Beasley's performance was incredible. Beasley's final scoring average was just 30 points per game.

This also makes Beasley the next rookie player after Leafs and Durant to average more than 30 points per game in his rookie season.

Beasley really wants to win, but the Warriors really can't win!

In the end, head coach Isiah Thomas of the New York Knicks, who competed with the Warriors for last place, complained.

"We are already shameless enough. This season is our most shameless season, but the most shameless one is that we are still a long way from the Warriors."

"You all think we have lost our dignity, but I want to tell you that our dignity prevents us from going lower than the Warriors in record."

After the NBA regular season ends, in addition to the records of these teams are eye-catching.

The statistics of NBA players are naturally also very eye-catching.

Yes won the scoring and steals title this season, averaging 44 points per game, making him the only player after Chamberlain to average 40+ points per game.

At the same time, his average of 3.8 steals per game is also quite terrifying.

This season's assist leader is Chris Paul. Chris Paul's explosive performance this season is incredible. His three consecutive quadruple-doubles have made him jump from a clown who was criticized for being criticized to the league's new super giant. St. Paul's nickname.

Howard, who leads rebounds and blocks this season, although Oden is now recognized as the league's No. 1 center in the future, from a data point of view, Howard still seems to be slightly ahead.

Of course, in addition to these individual kings, the NBA once again had a triple-double king this season.

Rajon Rondo, the head guard of the Seattle SuperSonics, averaged 10.1 points, 10.5 assists, 10.1 rebounds and 2 steals per game this season. This also made Rajon Rondo the second best player in the NBA after Oscar Robertson. A regular season triple-double king.

You know, last season Rondo became the second player besides Oscar Robertson to average a triple-double in the playoffs.

In other words, Rondo has now become another all-around triple-double king besides Oscar Robertson!

If Rondo can average a triple-double in the Finals, he can even surpass Oscar Robertson and become the only triple-double king in NBA history!

Of course, Rondo, the king of triple-doubles per game, does not add much to his reputation. These crazy triple-doubles per game are said to have no other effect except lowering the status of triple-doubles and Oscar Robertson.

Because of the rise of Rondo, Oscar Robertson's historical status has plummeted from the general top eleven to the recent top twenty.

I heard that Oscar Robertson wanted to teach Rondo a lesson when he was being interviewed.

Generally speaking, the NBA this season has really produced a lot of magical data.

Whether it’s the magical statistics produced by NBA players this season, the rise of the Cavaliers, the incredible record of the Warriors, the final record of Yes and the SuperSonics, or the eight teams in the Western Conference with 60+ points, all of this, They are all telling the world that this is an extraordinary season.
