Chapter 207 The end of the regular season

"Serge, Dante, is the result of the Lakers-Clippers game out?"

On April 2010, 4, Yan Hua, who had just finished the post-match press conference, hurriedly returned to the locker room of the home team in Arco Arena. Ji Ibaka and Dante Green asked about the results of the regular season finale between the Lakers and Clippers.

Unlike last season when the Lakers were thriving, this season's Western Conference presents a pattern of two powerhouses. The battle for the first place in the Western Conference between the Kings and the Lakers starts from the beginning of the season, runs through the entire season, and continues until the regular season. The last round of the game.

Before the start of the last round of the regular season, the King's record was 57 wins and 24 losses, and the Lakers' record was 58 wins and 23 losses. The result of the regular season match between the Kings and the Lakers was 3 wins and 1 loss, so the difference between the Lakers and the Kings The battle for No. [-] in the Western Conference will not be decided until the final round of competition is over.

In the first game between the Kings and the Rockets, the Kings at home beat the Rockets 107 to 83, and finally fixed their regular season record to 58 wins and 24 losses. Due to the late start of the game between the Lakers and the Clippers , So after the Kings game, except for Yan Hua who went to the post-game press conference, all the remaining Kings players stayed in the locker room to watch the Lakers' away game against the Clippers. Waiting for the final game result.

If the Clippers beat the Lakers, the Kings will be number one in the West, otherwise, the Kings will only be second in the West.

"Kobe Bryant killed the Clippers." Serge Ibaka, who heard Yan Hua's question, shook his head and said with a disappointed face, although the number one in the Western Conference is not a big deal The honor, but the Kings, who have been fighting for the No. [-] in the Western Conference and the Lakers for a whole season, missed the No. [-] in the Western Conference in the final stage of the regular season. It is somewhat disappointing and regrettable.

"It's okay, first and second is not important to us. In the regular season, we have a record of three wins and one loss against the Los Angeles Lakers. Even if we meet the Lakers in the playoffs, we can win six games. Get rid of them within a day." Seeing Serge Ibaka and his teammates in the locker room with disappointment written on his face, Yan Hua walked over directly and stood on Serge Ibaka's shoulder. After clapping, he said a word of comfort and encouragement to all the Kings players in the locker room.

To be honest, Yan Hua was a little disappointed at not being able to reach the No. [-] position in the West, but a done deal, and the result could not be changed. Putting one's hopes in the hands of others is sometimes the result.

After this round of competition, the regular season is over, and the Kings will also embark on a new journey to face the upcoming playoffs, and Yan Hua, the team leader, will naturally stand up Boost your morale and set yourself a new goal.

"Yes, the first and the second are actually the same for us. Even if we don't have home court advantage, we can still kill the Lakers." After Yan Hua made a start, Yan Hua's hardcore younger brother Dante Green, from Standing up from his seat, he echoed Yan Hua loudly.

After Dante Green, Serge Ibaka, Jrue Holiday, John Salmons, these new and old players all stood up from their seats. After a vent-like roar, the scene The pervasive negative atmosphere was also blown away.

After the last round of the game, the 2009-2010 NBA regular season officially came to an end. In this protracted battle for the first place in the Western Conference, the Los Angeles Lakers finally had the last laugh with a record of 59 wins and 23 losses. , beat the Sacramento Kings to the top of the Western Conference, while the Kings have a record of 58 wins and 24 losses, second only to the Lakers, ranking second in the Western Conference.

After the Lakers and Kings battle for the first place in the Western Conference, the eight teams in the Western Conference that have entered the playoffs have all been settled. After the Lakers and the Kings, the third place in the Western Conference is 54 wins The Dallas Mavericks with 28 losses, and after the Dallas Mavericks, followed by the Phoenix Suns with 53 wins and 29 losses, the Denver Nuggets with 52 wins and 30 losses and the Utah Jazz.

As fierce as the battle for the number one spot in the Western Conference, there is also the battle for the last two spots in the Western Conference playoffs. The Portland Trail Blazers, San Antonio Spurs, and Oklahoma City Thunder. These three teams, starting from the middle of this season From the beginning, there was a fierce competition for the last two playoff places.

The San Antonio Spurs, who have been ranked ninth in the Western Conference for a long time, relied on a wave of 7 consecutive victories at the end of the regular season, as well as outstanding performances in direct dialogues against the Trail Blazers and Thunder, and finally achieved a record of 50 wins and 32 losses. At the last moment of the regular season, they overtook the Oklahoma City Thunder, ranked eighth in the Western Conference, and took the last train of the playoffs. The Portland Trail Blazers also ranked seventh in the Western Conference with the same record as the Spurs. He entered the playoffs with the Spurs, leaving only the lonely Oklahoma City Thunder, crying alone there.

Compared with last season, the Western Conference is still full of strong teams. Even the Oklahoma City Thunder, which was overtaken by the Spurs at the last moment and lost its playoff spot, would be in the top four in the Eastern Conference. The alliance still maintains the status quo of the strong Yu Qiang and the big fish.

After the regular season, the Cleveland Cavaliers won the first place in the East and the best record in the league with a record of 61 wins and 21 losses. After the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Orlando Magic with 59 wins and 23 losses .

Except for the Cavaliers and Magic, the rest of the Eastern Conference teams that have entered the playoffs have a very mediocre record in the regular season. The Atlanta Hawks with the best record only have a record of 53 wins and 29 losses. As for The aging Celtics have only won 49 wins this season. They started off with a sprint and were weak in the second half. This has been a common problem for the Celtics in the last two seasons. Last season, the Celtics After an unfavorable start of 27 wins and 2 losses, they only gained 62 wins in the end. At the beginning of this season, the Celtics played an excellent start with 13 wins and 2 losses, but the old Big Three, and the lack of power The bench has become a chronic disease that restricts the Celtics. It can be expected that as the Big Three continue to age, the Celtics' record will continue to decline steadily.

After the Celtics, the Miami Heat ranked fifth in the East with a record of 43 wins and 39 losses, the Philadelphia 41ers with 41 wins and 76 losses ranked sixth in the East, and the Chicago Bulls with the same record as the 76ers ranked seventh in the East. As for the eighth in the East, it’s a bit embarrassing to say. The Detroit Pistons only won 39 games, and they got on the last train of the playoffs. Compared with the Thunder, which won 49 wins and were swept out of the playoffs, the Detroit Pistons are so lucky. up.

After all the Eastern and Western teams that have entered the playoffs have been released, the King's opponent in the first round of the playoffs has also been clarified, that is, the Portland Trail Blazers, who are also known as the three major youth teams in the league with the King, but it is very regrettable Sadly, Greg Oden won't be able to play in this series.
