I'm the boss in the NBA

Chapter 278 Playoff Ranking

101 to 105, the Minnesota Timberwolves' home stadium, Target Center, today is the fourth time the Timberwolves have played against the Nuggets this season, but the results are exactly the same, and the Timberwolves all ended in failure.

The Nuggets are like a natural restraint against the Timberwolves. Although the Nuggets win the game every time, it seems that Su Yi is the natural enemy of the Timberwolves. Even the Timberwolves have led by a large score. But every time it came to the last quarter, Su Yi could always burst out with energy beyond ordinary people, making the Timberwolves' hard work throughout the game go to waste.

The Nuggets also overtook the Timberwolves at the last moment and got sixth in the Western Conference with a record of 49 wins. Although the Timberwolves also won 49 wins, they lost all four games against the Nuggets, so they ranked in the They are seventh in the West, but they have the same record as the New Jersey Nets, which is second in the East, and only lost one more game than the Detroit Pistons, which is the number one in the East.

This can also be seen how fierce the competition for the top playoff teams in the West is.

This game was also the last game of the Nuggets in the 2002-2003 season. After the game, the Nuggets began to consider their opponents in the playoffs.

The opponent of the Nuggets in the playoffs is the Sacramento Kings, which is third in the West. This is Su Yi's old opponent when he was in the Rockets last season. This season, the Kings and the Nuggets played a total of four games in the regular season. It became a 2 to 2 tie, and there was no winner.

The teams in the Western Conference compete fiercely for the top rankings, but the number one in the Western Conference was still won by the San Antonio Spurs without any suspense. This team is very stable. Even at the end of the regular season, other teams either sprint to grab points or The Spurs will start to rest if they play poorly to send points. If it weren't for this, they wouldn't "only" win 60 games, at least three or five more games.

The second place in the Western Conference is the Houston Rockets with a "drug-addicted combination". Kobe has played steadily as always. This season, his average playing time per game has reached a record high, with a full 42 minutes. This is not the team's head coach Tomja Novi Odd is using Kobe to his death, but Kobe asked for it himself. He is very excited this year.

而科比的数据也有了较大的提升，场均36分7篮板9助攻2.5抢断0.9个盖帽，命中率达到了46%，他也和大姚配合的越来越默契了。

This season, the Rockets did not use the veterans of the team desperately. For example, Olajuwon and Grant Hill both got enough rest time in the regular season, and young players also got enough training opportunities.

Not to mention Dayao and Boozer, just like Kwame Brown. Since he was traded, this young insider has not resisted the team's position as a substitute because he was born as the No. [-] pick. On the contrary, he is very good. Integrating into the team, doing all the dirty work of defending positions and grabbing rebounds. Although the offense still hasn't improved much, the defense is getting better and better.

This also made Mr. Su, who lost Ewing and Krstic, feel better. Although Krstic didn't get many playing opportunities when he first joined the Wizards, he was mentioned by the Wizards coach in the late regular season. In fact, the Wizards at that time were injured and sick, and no one was available. They could only rush the ducks to the shelves and let him, a substitute among the substitutes, come on the field to stand up. The performance was really beyond the team's expectations. In Krstic's starting games, Krstic averaged 30 minutes per game, scoring 10 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block.

Ewing, who was sent in that deal, was injured. Even after being traded, Ewing had already stated to the media that he would retire at the end of this season. Unfortunately, he had a serious knee injury and bid farewell to the game before the end of the season. Only played six games for the Wizards.

Because of Ewing's early retirement, this also caused a shortage of inside players in the Wizards lineup. This is why Krstic was ordered in the face of danger, but the results of the Wizards were not very good. The eighth place in the Eastern Conference of the season, they were overtaken by the Orlando Magic at the last moment. The hard-working Wizards general manager almost vomited blood. After being cheated by the Rockets, he was already in a bad mood. Now this ranking It's like sprinkling salt on his wound, it hurts so much!
As for the Rockets!Comrade Su always felt that he owed Ewing, so he took Ewing to Houston while he was recovering from his injury, took good care of him, and gave him the position of assistant coach to make him feel at ease.

The third place in the Western Conference is the opponent of the Nuggets in the first round of the playoffs, the Sacramento Kings. This team has a stable performance under the guidance of head coach Adelman. It will only be ranked third in the West, and at least one more place must be advanced.

The fourth place in the Western Conference is the Dallas Mavericks. The strength of the team with Nowitzki will definitely not be too bad, but if they want to go further in the playoffs, their lineup strength is still a little bit worse.

The fifth place in the Western Conference is the Los Angeles Lakers. If you say that the overall strength of the Lakers is not so bad, but you can also blame the Lakers for their lack of strength. This season, most of their games against the strong teams in the Western Conference ended in failure, especially when they were defeated by the Spurs. The team's four kills made the Lakers lose their determination to defeat all powerful enemies. The mutual hostility between Randolph and McGrady made the entire locker room chaotic, but the team's general manager and head coach had to act like He coaxed Randolph like a child, for fear that if he didn't play well, the team would lose a lot of power.

The sixth place in the Western Conference is the Denver Nuggets where Su Yi belongs. The Nuggets' defense this season is unbearable, but their offense is impressive. Fight your way through the strong West.

Because the Timberwolves were defeated by the Nuggets in the last game, they were killed four times in the season. With the same record, the relationship between victory and defeat fell behind, and it was aggrieved that they fell to seventh in the West. I don’t know how much Garnett has in mind now. After all, their current opponent is not an ordinary team. The combination of taking drugs is not much worse than the OK combination of last season. The cooperation of Kobe and Dayao also made Garnett feel palpitations. There was no confidence in the second round.

The eighth place in the Western Conference is the Portland Trail Blazers. Although the Portland Prisons have no record, their players are very talented. Bring out all their talents.

The Utah Jazz fell to ninth in the Western Conference and missed the playoffs. After the last game of the regular season, the 41-year-old Stockton announced his retirement. He did not take away any championship from the NBA, but he did Undoubtedly a Hall of Famer.

And the other veteran of the team, Karl Malone is not old at heart, he has silently decided in his heart to take another gamble. He must leave the Jazz and join a team that can compete for the championship. If Stockton can't get a championship ring, he will retire.

The last place in the West is Su Yi's old acquaintance Michael Jordan's Charlotte Bobcats. His record is 13 wins and 69 losses. This team has already become the worst team in the West after the Los Angeles Clippers. One, their record is definitely the bottom one even in the entire league, and no one can match it.
