Chapter 395 A Clear Ranking

After experiencing O'Neal's departure and important substitutes such as Finley and Horry leaving the team, the Magic selected four rookies in this year's draft.

But the four they selected, Duncan, Kobe, Ray Allen and Ben Wallace, just entered the league and showed amazing combat effectiveness.

DeWeese has experienced the biggest transformation of his career this season, from the absolute core of the team to the sixth man.

In other teams, such a change is absolutely shameful. It is unacceptable for many proud stars to step down from the position of the team's first tactical core and not even start the game.

However, in the Magic, in this team that can be said to belong to Davis alone (literally), such an adjustment can only make people admire Davis for not caring about personal gains and losses, and only thinking about the team.

But even in the position of the sixth man, DeWeese still exudes the most dazzling light.

It can even be said that it was under his leadership that the Magic achieved a better record than last season.

The 73 wins of the Magic last season, looking at it now, can only be said to be unprecedented, and it cannot be said that there will be no future, because this season the Magic once again refreshed their best record in team history, raising their record to 76 wins and 6 losses.

The Magic played a fantastic season this season. They averaged 119 points per game and restricted their opponents to score 101 points, which means that they can outperform their opponents by an average of 18 points per game.

In the entire history of the NBA, there is no team that can do it, and it has been done by the Magic, a team that has entered the league for less than ten years.

Six players in the team averaged double figures per game, and all five starters averaged double figures per game. The four basic statistics of points, rebounds, assists, and blocks all ranked first in the league.

In the Magic team, Davis alone occupies two data kings, scoring and assists.

他今年交出了场均23分6.5篮板11.1助攻2.1抢断1.3盖帽的全能数据，而他今年仅仅首发出场了13次，完全符合最佳第六人的评选标准。。

Who would have thought that a sixth man on a team could put up this kind of stats?
Ranked tenth in the league in scoring, there is no way, there are too many masters this year. Jordan, who won the scoring title, rose against the trend in the second half of the season when he averaged less than 30 points per game in the first half of the season.

Ranked second in the league in assists, No.1 is not John Stockton, who has been competing with Davis for the assist title in recent years, but Mark Jackson, who is now in the Pacers. Mark Jackson played the best performance of his career with the Nuggets at the beginning of the season, averaging 12.3 assists per game, but after playing 11.4 games, he returned to his old club, the Indiana Pacers. king.

Stockton ranks third with 10.5 assists per game, but with the efforts of him and Malone this year, the Jazz have an excellent record of 64 wins and 18 losses, only two games behind the most luxurious Rockets in the West, ranking second in the West.

After the dust settled in the regular season, the final rankings of the East and West are also freshly released.

In the East, no, in the entire league, the Magic belong to the only team. They rank first in the Eastern Conference and first in the league with 76 wins and 6 losses.

The second place in the East is the Bulls, 69 wins and 13 losses.

Then came the Celtics, 67 wins and 15 losses.

New York Knicks, 61 wins and 21 losses.

Atlanta Hawks, 50 wins and 32 losses.

Washington Bullets, 49-33.

Charlotte Hornets, 44 wins and 38 losses.

Toronto Raptors, 43 wins and 39 losses.

It can be clearly seen that the strength gap between the teams in the East is very serious. The fifth Eagles and the fourth Knicks are 11 games behind.

The West is slightly better. Only the Rockets and Jazz are significantly stronger than other teams. Moreover, the Clippers, ranked eighth in the West, have a record of 34 wins and 48 losses.

Can you imagine a playoff team winning a woeful 45% of their games?
Can you imagine that the Clippers can make the playoffs under the rule of Donald, a fool?
Soon, after a short break, all the playoff teams in the league began their efforts to compete for the championship.

The Magic's opponent in the first round is the Toronto Raptors led by Carter.

卡特新秀赛季表现极其出色，场均20.1分5.6篮板4.9助攻，标准的20+5+5的数据，他也依靠自己的球风成功的激活了多伦多的球市。

The Raptors have no plans to compete with the Magic in the playoffs. They met 4 times in the regular season and lost 29 points per game. . .

There was no surprise in the final result. The Magic defeated the inexperienced Raptors in just three quarters per game, and Davis only needed to play 24 minutes per game. . . .

Although the main players of the Magic don't have much experience in the playoffs, Iverson and Clay are the "veterans" who won the championship with the Magic last year, not to mention that there are Bird, Johnson, McHale and Thomas on the Magic team.

Only these four people have won [-] championships.

This year's rookies such as Duncan Kobe have accumulated a wealth of experience in this round of playoffs.

After the end of the first round, there was a rare situation this year where there was no down-and-up, and all the teams in the first half advanced.

The Magic's opponent in the second round is the Knicks, ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference.

Forehead. . . .The Magic seem to have overtaken the Bulls and become the real sufferer for the Knicks. They have faced the Knicks in the playoffs for the fourth consecutive year.

It should be said that the Knicks are unlucky and are sent home by the Magic every year, or should they be lucky that they met the Magic early and went home early to fish.

In any case, after the first round, the major awards of the season have also been released.

Jordan averaged 35.4 points per game and continued to be the scoring leader. Rodman was still the unshakable rebounding leader. Davis even wanted to suggest that the league put these two trophies in their homes before the two retired. Anyway, others can't grab it.

Rodman averaged rebounds per game to create a new low in recent years, only a "mere" 15.3 times.

Mark Jackson is the assist leader, and Sean Bradley, the leader of the Pistons, averaged 3.4 blocks per game, beating Dikembe Mutombo's 3.3 and winning the block leader.

It is worth mentioning that Duncan blocked 2.9 shots and Garnett averaged 2.7 blocks per game, ranking fourth and fifth in the blocked shots list.

In the steals list, Iverson averaged 2.9 steals per game and won the steals king, and Drexler averaged 2.7 per game and ranked second.

Next comes the most important awards.
