Chapter 190 The end of the regular season

The regular season schedule of the 08-09 season is gradually coming to an end, and the situation of the playoffs is becoming more and more clear. Regardless of the Eastern Conference, among the strong teams in the Western Conference, the following teams finally reached the top eight: the Lakers, Spurs, Rockets, Timberwolves, Trail Blazers, Mavericks, Jazz and Nuggets.

At the beginning of the season, the Nuggets, who once dominated the top three in the Western Conference, were weak at the back end of the season. The team's lack of qualified point guard organization is the biggest problem for the Nuggets.It is true that the combination of Jefferson and Anthony, one inside and one outside, caused headaches for many teams at the beginning of the season, but after the middle of the season, the two were too simple to cooperate and lacked reasonable control of the situation on the field. Gradually exposed, coupled with Anthony's injury for a period of time, and Kenyon Martin's noisy from time to time planted unstable factors for the team, the Nuggets' record gradually declined, and barely won the eighth place in the Western Conference at the end.

The Lakers have a record of 65 wins and 17 losses. In the West, the Lakers have become a dominant team. Whether it is the Spurs or the Rockets, they cannot be compared with them. He is the most promising team in the first round. .The Spurs and the Rockets have the same record of 58 wins and 24 losses. It is difficult to distinguish between the two strong teams in the Southwest. Many experts pointed out that if both teams advance to the second round, then the duel between the two teams will be the first The second round is the best series to watch.

The Timberwolves have a record of 53 wins and 29 losses. As one of the biggest dark horses this season, the Timberwolves' outburst at the beginning left many experts confused. They were puzzled by the reason.Why can this team, which is almost entirely composed of young people under the age of 25, achieve such results?
With the gradual development of the season, they found the reason. Zheng Ke's palpitating progress became the biggest reason in their writings. The experts listed various data and analyzed Zheng Ke's progress over the past two seasons. Zheng Ke sang praises, admiring the calmness of the young leader on the field and the outstanding strength of the young leader.The Timberwolves almost came to the end of the season amidst the praise of experts all the way.Regarding the prospect of the Timberwolves playoffs, experts pointed out that even if the Timberwolves are eliminated in the first round, they will be perfect this season.

In addition to the top eight teams, the Hornets and Suns missed the playoffs is the most regrettable thing. Both teams have been in the top three positions in the Western Conference in the past few seasons, and the teams also have There are many star players who should play, but in the West where the competition pressure is huge, they can't even make it to the top eight.Nash, Paul, Stoudemire, O'Neal, West, Chandler, the stars of the two teams can't count with one hand, but now, they can only go home early to fish.The fall out of the playoff qualification this time undoubtedly had a huge impact on the management of the two teams, and laid the groundwork for the huge personnel changes of the two teams in the next few years.

At the end of the regular season, Zheng Ke's various statistics have finally been fixed.

This season, Zheng Ke played a total of 82 games, served as a starter for 82 games, averaged 37.6 minutes per game, scored a total of 1985 points, averaged 24.2 points per game, grabbed a total of 665 rebounds, and averaged 8.1 per game. He scored 517 assists, averaging 6.3 per game, and sent a total of 107 blocks, averaging 1.3 per game.In addition, Zheng Ke's steal data in a single season broke the record in team history. This season, he contributed a total of 205 steals, averaging 2.5 per game, becoming the player with the most steals in a single season in the history of the Timberwolves.

Zheng Ke's statistics in all aspects are almost unremarkable. The average field goal percentage is as high as 49%, the three-point shooting percentage is as high as 41%, and the free throw percentage is 83%.Although he scored high, he didn't average many shots per game. This is why many experts commented on Zheng Kezhi not only as a top defender, but also as a top scorer.

What do fans care most about the NBA?One is the record, and the other is the list of various statistics.Every year, the scoring leader, rebounding leader, assists leader and so on will become their talking points for a period of time, but unfortunately, none of these items have anything to do with Zheng Ke.

Wade took away the league's scoring crown this year. The Flash won the honor with an average of 30.4 points per game. He became the player with the highest shooting percentage among the players who won the scoring title in nine years.The rebounding leader was taken away by Howard, the assists leader was won by Paul, and then No.1 in the steals list and No.1 in the blocked shots list were still taken away by Paul and Howard respectively. A lot of data fans are excited to talk about.

"Hey, it's really cheating." Zheng Ke closed the newspaper, showing a speechless expression.

"What's the matter?" Taylor was peeling the orange, lying on the sofa with his slender legs resting on Zheng Ke's thigh, looking lazy and leisurely from top to bottom.

"Those experts looked down on us again. They said that the game between the Timberwolves and the Trail Blazers was [-]-[-]. They also said that in a certain level, the Blazers' winning percentage is even higher."

"Why?" Taylor handed the orange to Zheng Ke's mouth.

Zheng Ke opened his mouth wide, swallowed the orange in one gulp, and accidentally touched Taylor's green finger, and Taylor gave him a blank look.After chewing twice, he grunted, swallowed the orange, and said: "They say that the strength of the Blazers inside is more dominant. LaMarcus Aldridge has an absolute advantage against Kevin (Love). Moreover, Brand (Roy)'s key ball ability has been proved this season. In the playoffs, when the two teams are evenly matched, the star's performance is more important, and players with a big heart can better grasp the game at critical moments. initiative."

"Why?" Taylor pursed his lips, complaining about Zheng Ke: "Those experts are really disgusting, what is a key shot, you have played many games at key moments this season, don't they forget Yet?"

Seeing Taylor's cute appearance, Zheng Ke was overjoyed, stretched out his hand to pinch Taylor's delicate face like a porcelain doll, and said with a smile, "You have a pretty good memory."

"That's right, I watch all your games." Taylor raised his head like a little princess asking for credit.

Zheng Ke continued to read the newspaper, smacking his lips from time to time, and said: "The best team selection prediction? Dwight Howard, Tim Duncan, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Kobe Bryant. Without Yao Ming?"

Taylor looked at Zheng Ke in surprise, and said, "Didn't Dwight play very well? I think he is quite strong, and he seems to be better than Yao Ming."

Zheng Ke said: "No way, haven't you seen that Yao Ming often beats Dwight? When the two of them face each other, Yao Ming has the upper hand most of the time. This year, the statistics of the two are similar, and the team's record is not much different. Why? Can it be so simple to exclude Yao Ming for a while? If I had to choose, Yao Ming would definitely be in the first round this year."

"What about yourself? How many times did they line you up?" Tyler asked, blinking bright blue eyes.

"I?"

Zheng Ke was a little embarrassed, and said: "They guessed that I was in the second team."

"That's fine!" Taylor said.

"I think I should wait for a while." Zheng Ke said half-jokingly: "Even if I can't do it this year, I will definitely be able to wait until next year."

"By the way," Zheng Ke remembered something again, and said, "Taylor, where are we going to play this summer? Europe, Asia or South America?"

"Hmm~"

Taylor was dizzy by Zheng Ke's jumping thinking, her eyes were floating upwards, and her thoughts gradually flew across the five oceans. After a while, she came back to her senses and said, "Are you really going?"

"Of course!" Zheng Ke said firmly.

"Then where are you going?" Taylor asked back.

"I'll listen to you. Wherever you want to go, we will go there." Zheng Ke said with a smile.

"Then let's go to Europe!" Taylor seemed a little excited, she sat up from the sofa, raised her fingers and pointed: "I want to visit England, Germany, Italy, and Spain!"

Just as Zheng Ke was about to say something more, a cry of a baby came from the room, "Wow."

He and Taylor looked at each other, and then they realized together that their son woke up!Then the two got up from the sofa in a panic, the one who took the bottle took the bottle, the one who turned off the TV turned off the TV, and ran into Xiao Zheng Shuang's room in a panic.
