Chapter 731 Eastern Ranking
4 month 10 day.

When the last game of the day is played, the entire regular season is declared over.

After the end of the day's game, the ranking of the East and West was also fully revealed.

Look at the east first.

No one can shake the Pacers' top spot. With a record of 56 wins and 26 losses, they are firmly in the top spot in the Eastern Conference.

The Pacers improved again this season. With their performance in the regular season, they got their best record in nearly three years.

In second place is the Celtics!
Their record has completely exceeded everyone's expectations. Even if anyone knew their ranking in the first few games, they did not expect that they would finally win an amazing record of 53 wins and 29 losses.

After all, what they have experienced this season is completely unexpected.

The process of their gradual evolution from a dark horse at the beginning to a strong team in the East does not seem to be so smooth.

of course.

No matter how much these words are said, it is meaningless. The fact that they are ranked second is enough to explain everything.

The team ranked No. 3 is basically not surprising, and the Heat won this position.

They have a record of 51 wins and 31 losses. Because of the poor final stage, they did not complete the overtake of the Celtics.

For a team aiming to defend their title, they have been unsuccessful this season.

After all, in their performance in the first three years, it can be said that they rule the East and are absolutely unrivaled.

But as the season kicked off, they appeared to be hitting some bottlenecks.

The first is the old problem of their inside line.

Even though they continued to find some veterans and signed some players from the free market, the weakness inside still made them very embarrassed.

of course.

Some people attribute their state to the fact that the team lineup is too old.

But these cannot be regarded as their biggest problems for any strong team.

Is the Spurs lineup old?
They have been stable for years!

It can also be seen from this that although the problem of the lineup will have an impact, it has not reached such a point.

As for the No.4 team, that was completely beyond everyone's expectations.

The Bulls, who were originally very low-key this season, did not expect to come to this position at all.

The fiercest competition for the top four or five this season has completely focused on the Raptors and the Nets. The Wizards also have a chance, but as the season is coming to an end, they have not achieved such a goal.

This season is the season in which the Bulls continue without Derrick Rose, but after they lacked their own traffic and absolute core, they did not completely leave the Eastern Conference as everyone imagined.

For a whole season, when Rose played only ten games, they did not fall behind with the performances of Joakim Noah, Carlos Boozer, Taj Gibson, and Jimmy Butler. He took the position without making a sound.

To know.

Not only did the Bulls lose Rose this season, but another strong player on the team, Luo Erden, also played only 23 games due to injuries.

so.

You can't always focus on some traffic teams, let alone underestimate such a former strong team that has not been optimistic.

And the team after the Bulls is the Raptors.

If they hadn't won the game in the final stage, they might not be ranked fifth.

The record of the Raptors is exactly the same as that of the Nets, reaching 48 wins and 34 losses.

But because of the results of the regular season match between the two teams, the Raptors still occupy this position.

At the end of the regular season, the Raptors are always in people's sights, but they are not beyond people's expectations. It seems good to be in this position.

And the Nets behind them are somewhat surprising.

Because they should have collapsed directly due to problems within the team, but with the arrival of the second half, their energy and expressiveness are truly amazing.

Especially the play of Paul Pierce.

He's like in the Celtics, as long as I play, he's probably the most consistent player on the team.

In addition, there are really many star players in the team, and when they abandon some things, their combat power should not be underestimated.

Behind them are the Wizards who played both the Heat and the Celtics in the closing stages.

They can be said to have performed normally this season, but their record is really a bit low.

The Wizards have won 44 games this season and lost 82 of 38.

The final stage.

If they can win the Celtics, maybe they can go one step further, and this is the East.

In the last place is the Bobcats, who were simply won by the Celtics before, and their performance was not so amazing.

But being able to enter the playoffs is already the luckiest thing for them this season.

After all, the Hawks and Knicks following behind them failed to withstand, otherwise it would not be them entering the playoffs, but one of these two teams.

And this is the ranking from No. 8 to No. [-] in the East.

With the ranking, it is naturally the situation of the playoffs.

The Pacers will play the Bobcats in the first round, and the Celtics will play against the Wizards who have not avoided them!
The Heat will compete with the Nets, and the Bulls and Raptors will decide who is the "King of Beasts."

Such a list of matchups is basically mixed for the Eastern Conference teams.

Fortunately, it must be the Bulls and Raptors, and the worried ones are naturally the Bobcats, Wizards and Nets who are facing the top three in the East.

of course.

That is to say.

If you don't fight, what kind of hell will the NBA playoffs develop into?
so.

Complaining and feeling uncomfortable can't help some teams win. Only by immediately launching a series of research and arrangements can they make it possible for them to make mistakes.

And after talking about the rankings and matchups in the East, the West basically has no expectations of breaking away from the outside world.

In the regular season of this season, apart from the dark horse Celtics, the performance of the Spurs is the most surprising thing.

After they regretted losing to the Heat last season and failed to win the championship again, everyone is not optimistic about their team this season because of their lineup.

But the final result surprised the outside world. They actually made great strides all the way, and with a record of 62 wins and 20 losses, they brazenly won the strongest record in the league!
have to say.

Gregg Popovich is amazing!

Such a Spurs is also unbelievable.

At the same time, they also sent a strong signal to the outside world, that is, even if our core team is old, we can still rely on teamwork to improve our record to such a point!

And Thunderclap, which is ranked second, is also eye-catching.

What they were like last season, everyone knows what's going on.

But this season they have completely forgotten the pain of last season. Not only did they play the demeanor of a young leader, but they also continued to rank among the top two in the Western Conference with a record of 59 wins and 23 losses.
