The strongest bishop in the NBA

Chapter 345 The end of the regular season

随着常规赛最后一场比赛奇才队在主场输给篮网，13-14赛季，奇才队的战绩便最终定格在73胜9负之上，与另一个时空15-16赛季的勇士相同。

But the difference is that this Wizards team is undoubtedly much stronger than that Warriors team.

You must know that Paul George, the Wizards' second scorer and important defensive force, was reimbursed for the season due to injury in the middle of the season, and missed most of the subsequent regular season.

However, if you compare the players of the same period, there are several positions where the Warriors are better.

For example, Curry.

Although within a few years, relying on Wang Xiao's training module, Curry has grown to the peak of his career, but due to experience and awareness, compared to Curry in the 15-16 season, he still lacks a little.

This season, Curry averaged 27.4 points, 4.2 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game, shooting 48.4% from the field and 44% from the three-point range. fairy ball.

Wang Xiao understands that this is a subtle change brought about by different teams and different environments.

In the early days of the Warriors, Curry was the only scoring point, and also the most reliable and trustworthy person. Whenever the team was in trouble, the coaches and the players would think of Curry for the first time.

But in the Wizards, there are a lot of talents. George and Leonard are both good at key shots in tough battles. This also makes Curry used to attracting firepower for his teammates at critical moments and striving for the most efficient scoring.

This point coincides with Curry 16 years later. When Durant came to the Warriors, although Curry's three-pointers were also extremely lethal, they did not have the deterrent effect of nuclear bombs in the previous two years. , because at every critical moment, it must be Durant who attacks with the ball instead of Curry...

It is difficult for you to judge whether such a decision is correct, because there is one thing to say, Durant's offense is indeed more stable than Curry, this point from the two-year finals, two times the death came to kill the key three-pointer of the Cavaliers' hope of winning It showed vividly.

In the current Wizards, the situation is exactly the same.

Under the training bonus of the training module, George and Leonard also grow faster than another time and space, which also makes their offensive ability very good, and they can be relied on at critical moments.

Of course, such thoughts only appeared in Wang Xiao's mind.

In the eyes of the outside world, Curry's performance this season has been perfect, and he is the biggest contributor to the Wizards' 73 wins.

Because of this, Curry also ranks among the top three in the regular season MVP rankings all year round, and it is very likely that he will beat James to win the regular season MVP trophy for the third time in his career.

If Curry can do it, he will become the second point guard in history to win three regular season MVP trophies, and his historical status will be close to that of Magic Johnson.

……

The official end of the regular season also means the determination of the major honor lists.

On the scoring list first, Durant regained the scoring crown with 32 points, Kings guard Harden ranked second with 28.7 points, and Anthony ranked third with 27.6 points.

Curry can only rank fourth because he is 0.2 points lower than Anthony in scoring per game. Below him is James with 27 points.

In the rebounding list, Whiteside, the former center of the Wizards and the main center of the Heat at the time, became the rebounding leader with 14.3 rebounds. Jordan, who was traded to the Knicks in the middle of the season, ranked second with 13.6 rebounds per game, and the Thunder ranked third. The team's center, Dunn, Wang Xiao's student at Harvard University, averaged 13.2 rebounds per game this season.

In the assist list, Jeremy Lin has dominated the list for the third consecutive year, ranking first with an average of 11.3 assists per game, followed by Paul with 10.7 assists, and only these two averaged double-digit assists in the entire assist list.

The competition for the blocking list is extremely fierce. Whiteside averaged 3.7 blocks per game and won the crown, followed by Dunn with 3.5 blocks per game. Below them is the No. 2.8 pick, Anthony Davis, who averaged [-] blocks per game. And the blocker Serge Ibaka.

……

Compared with these personal data, the major teams pay more attention to the final record ranking of the regular season.

In the East, the Washington Wizards won the top spot in the East with a record of 73 wins and 9 losses.

Followed by the Cleveland Cavaliers with 61 wins and 21 losses, the combination of the Big Four is slightly unsatisfactory in terms of record, but 61 wins are enough to be considered a passing answer sheet. In one season, there were only 58 wins, and last season, the Big Four of the Lakers almost missed the playoffs.

In third place is the Nets with 50 wins and 32 losses.

From here, the record has formed a Feng Shui Ridge.

The Bulls with 48 wins rank fourth, the Knicks rank fifth with 44 wins, the Pacers rank sixth with 42 wins, and the Heat rank seventh with 41 wins. After the last fierce battle, the 8ers who finally owned Wall had the last laugh, and got the playoff ticket with a narrow and dangerous 76 wins.

The record of Eastern teams is generally extremely poor. On the one hand, it is because of the perennial pattern of strong west and weak east. On the other hand, it is because they have unfortunately encountered the 73-win Wizards.

As an Eastern team, each team will meet the Wizards four times in the regular season. Basically, this is four games that are guaranteed to lose. In contrast, Western teams only have two encounters with the Wizards in a season. , Naturally, he is even better in the field of victory.

The Portland Trail Blazers are still ranked first in the West, with a record of 62 wins and 20 losses, which is also the second best result in the league, followed by the Spurs, who ranked second and won 58 wins.

The Clippers are third with 55 wins, and fourth is the Grizzlies with 50 wins.

The fifth place in the Western Conference is the 51-win king. After three seasons of running-in, Harden and Cousins ​​finally showed their strength. With Harden averaging 28 points per game, Cousins ​​can also score 22 points per game. The two have scored 50 points together. Although the defense has been criticized, it does not prevent them from competing for a place in the Western Conference playoffs.

Ranked sixth is the Thunder with 49 wins.

Evans is still the same as in another time and space. Wang Erxiao's new year is not as good as every year, but Westbrook is getting stronger every year. This season's average of 25.8 points per game is second only to Curry and others. Dunn also built an impenetrable wall in the inside of the Thunder, which also made the Thunder finally stumble and start to get on the right track after choosing Oden and Evans by mistake (it should have been Durant and Harden) .

The seventh and eighth in the West are the 47-win Mavericks and the 45-win Suns.

These teams are all the top eight teams in the East and West in the 13-14 season, and they are also participants in the subsequent playoffs to compete for the championship.
