Chapter 135 Math Problems of the Competition
At the end of the regular season, various data kings are also freshly released.

The throne of scoring champion was once again won by Iverson with an average of 30.2 points per game after two years. The chatter who failed to make the playoffs has not yet triggered the buff of "isolation and helplessness", averaging only 27.8 points per game .

Hardt, who also did not make the playoffs, also won the rebounding leader with an average of 13.5 rebounds per game.

Until the end, everyone still couldn't believe that the Timberwolves, who fought to the death with the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals last year, couldn't even make it to the playoffs this year because they missed a win.

The Lakers' inability to make it to the playoffs can be said to be due to the disbandment of F4. The three-headed monsters of the Timberwolves are still there, and last year's MVP hard special is also playing full-time this year.

It is really intriguing to let the former championship team fall to this point just because of a discord within the team...
The assists leader was undoubtedly won by Nash. Mo Wen didn't feel any regrets. The difference between the two in assists per game may not be much in terms of scoring, but when it comes to assists, it is quite good. Small gap too.

After all, the Heat are not Mo Wen's team, and it's not easy for Mo Wen to throw his face and go into the sewer.

The days to come are still long, and it's not bad for one or two seasons.

As for Kidd, he is no longer in the top three in the assist list. Behind Mo Wen is the not-so-famous Brangwen Knight. In the case of only playing 66 games, Knight's total assists are just as good as Kidd has 57 more.

Kidd: Are you polite?
Marcus Camby, who has penetrated the mysteries of the data league, overwhelmed Deng Daidai with an average of 3.0 blocks per game and successfully won the block king.

The steals leader was won by Larry Hughes with an average of 3.0 steals per game, and Mo Wen ranked second with a gap of 0.3 steals.

04-05赛季常规赛阶段莫闻出战76场，场均出战34分钟，可以拿到20.1分、10.6助攻、7篮板、1.1盖帽、2.7抢断。

Although it seems to be nothing, but in the follow-up awards, such as the best team, the best defense team, his voice in the MIP selection is very high.

···
The last time two teams won 60 games at the same time in the league dates back to the last three years of the Bulls' three consecutive years.

Whether it is the 65 wins of the Suns or the 64 wins of the Heat, they are the best records of the two teams since their establishment.

For this season, the feelings of Sun fans can only be described as fantasy.

No one could have imagined that they won only 29 games last season and could take off in place after only spending tens of millions of dollars to bring in a 30-year-old veteran.

In addition to thanking Nash and the Suns management for poaching him, Phoenix fans are most grateful to Cuban for letting Nash go.

You must know that the Canadians originally wanted to die in Dallas with the Germans, but Cuban, who had paid a lifetime of luxury tax, felt that the old man was not worth it. The first All-Star Nash a five-year contract.

Since the middle of the season, Cuban has been receiving a lot of thank you letters from Arizona.

After the regular season ended, the message area of ​​the Dallas official website was directly occupied by grateful Phoenix fans.

Cuban, who has always liked to show his face, can only play dead in this situation.

Now he can only wait for the two teams to meet in the playoffs and use his strength to prove his choice, because the regular season record is one game behind the Spurs. Under the rules of the six major regions, the Mavericks who won 6 wins can only To be ranked fourth in the Western Conference, there is a high probability that they will meet the Suns in the second round.

On the other hand, although the Heat fans are also happy for the team's best record, but at the same time they are also worried about the team's playoffs.

Before the league announced the final ranking of the regular season, Heat fans didn't know who their first-round opponent was.

Because the records of the Cavaliers, Nets, and 76ers have rarely crashed, all of which are 42 wins and 40 losses.

But there are only two tickets to the playoffs.

After comparing the relationship between the outcome and the number of victories of each team in the Eastern Conference, Stern kicked Ajan out in tears.

It's not that he doesn't love A-Zhan anymore, it's just that it's too late to change the rules now.

The final ranking is determined. The first to eighth in the East are: Heat, Pistons, Celtics, Pacers, Bulls, Wizards, 76ers, and Nets.

The other teams have not changed much, but the Pacers have reduced the intensity of the battle at the Palace of Auburn Hills and the number of suspensions for several major players has decreased, so the record is much better than the original history.

And because the Pistons have an extra Caron Butler, the number of wins has risen to 57, but the record is still not in the top three in the cruel West.

After the ranking was announced, the Nets players jumped three feet high.

In particular, Kidd, who has been questioned the most, excitedly punched the air.

God has eyes!
The Heat sent the Nets a 57, so it's not too much for the Nets to send the Heat a black eight, right?
God knows how the Nets survived this period of time. If they win, it's okay. Once they lose, the number "57" will definitely appear in the newspaper.

Usually, when playing against other teams, the opponent doesn't need to talk rubbish, as long as they mention the number 57, they can break the defense of the Nets collectively.

Even a bad team like the Knicks next door dares to make fun of them.

What made them even more desperate was that they could not see any hope of revenge.

After all, everyone can see the strength of the complete Heat, and it would be good if they don't get beaten up next time they meet.

But who would have thought that an opportunity that they dared not dream of would be presented to them just like that.

"If O'Neal is still there, we may have to surrender, but unfortunately, he is injured, so we have a [-]% chance of winning this series within four games."

Jefferson said proudly in an interview with the media.

"The other [-]% is that you think the Heat also have a chance to win?" asked the reporter holding the microphone.

"No, the remaining [-]% is the probability that they can win the next game."

As a flexible third position, Jefferson's skills are not only flexible, but also in the rebellious period.

Don't think that this is just Jefferson's idea, this attitude is shared by the entire Nets.

They have forgotten that in that tragedy, Ao Pang actually scored 23 points, not even half of 57 points. They were not directly responsible for the tragedy, and they don’t know who started the self-hypnosis. In their eyes, it seems to have become a team that cannot make the playoffs.

Revenge, black eight, advancing to the second round seems to have become a matter of course.

The confidence of the Nets gave the media the confidence to continue watching the Heat.

Moreover, just 5 years ago, the Heat were hacked by the Knicks once.

Well, it was the series in which Xiao Fan hugged Mourning's thigh.

Mourning, Van Gundy, the Heat, the New York team, after all these labels are attached, isn't there room for imagination?
In the 76ers' training hall, Iverson smiled contemptuously and threw the newspaper aside.

After they lost the game two days ago, they understood that the Heat's strength is much weaker without Ottoman, but not everyone can touch porcelain.

However, no one believes the truth these days, and even the media that interviewed them did not report it.

Just wait, time will tell.

······
There are four days of rest after the regular season. Riley still wants to work hard and lead the team to a pre-match training or something, but Mo Wen directly refuses.

Ao Pang is not the only one who has potential injuries in this team, but he also practiced so hard. If Riley hadn't known that Riley had a share in the Heat, he would have wondered if the old man Jie took bad money from the Nets.

Larry Brown: If I don't defend for a day, I feel uncomfortable all over!
Pat Riley: If I don't practice for a day, I feel bad all over!
Mo Wen kind of missed the old men he had partnered with in the dungeon.

It's better to be obedient to the coaching management team or something.

Looking at Lu Zi, who was still having fun on the court with dreadlocks, he suddenly felt that it was necessary to bring this brother over next time he was arrested.

Maybe it will come in handy in 10 years, right?
The team opened the net and only carried out recovery training, and the players were also very conscious, knowing that the first round would not be easy without Ao Pang, so many "extracurricular activities" were suspended.

Mo Wen also parted ways with Catherine, and it was time for her to graduate. She didn't bring much luggage, but returned to school with Mo Wen's "bits and pieces" of data that had been in the past half a year.

Speaking of which, Mo Wen was still a little worried about whether her thesis could be passed smoothly. After all, he hadn't stopped adding some potential in the past half a year. His physical strength was changing, and his potential was also changing. Unknown.

Mo Wen, who said he was going to move, put the time until the end of the season and waited until Catherine came back. After all, "moving the capital" before the war was a bit unlucky.

On the 23rd, the day before the start of the playoffs, the Heat also announced the team's 12-man roster for the playoffs.

Center: O'Neal, Mourning, Laettner
Power forwards: Haslem, Wang Zhizhi
Small forwards: Rasul Butler, Steve Smith

Guards: Wade, Damon Jones

Point guards: Mo Wen, Kenyon During, Tyronn Lue
···
On the 24th, the battle between the Heat and the Nets came as scheduled.

Unlike the excited local fans, the domestic fans far away across the ocean are quite uncomfortable.

One day earlier is the weekend, and the next five days is Labor Day, which has no cuts. Why is the game held on Monday?

Office workers are okay. Although there are no smartphones in this era, computers have begun to be used for office work. They can go to colleagues with computers to glance at the live text.

The student party was miserable, and could only endure the Monday syndrome, waiting for lunch to watch the results of the game.

In the third class, the math teacher smiled wryly at the boys in the class, even the ones who usually study the most seriously.

Just when he was wondering if he should yell or not, his cell phone rang, and when he opened it, it turned out that the physical education teacher had sent him a text message.

Look at the content of the message again——

Wonderful... But I'm still in class, so I can't laugh.

So···
"Ahem, students, let's do two problems next. It's very simple. It's a variation of the chicken and rabbit problem we learned before. In the NBA game just now, the Heat scored 56 points in the first half, including 10 free throws. Goal, the rest of the team hit 20 times in the sports game, how many two-pointers and how many three-pointers did the Heat make?"

"The Nets scored 48 points in the first half, including 8 free throws. In the rest of the game, the team made 19 shots. How many two-pointers and how many three-pointers did the Nets make?"

"Anyone want to do it?"

　I am trash! (very loud)
