From South China Tiger to NBA King

Chapter 183 The end of the regular season, the team's winning record.

After defeating the Bucks, the Celtics' regular season record has reached 60 wins and 13 losses, ranking first in the league. The Houston Rockets also came to 59 wins and 14 losses, which is very tight.

The game continued, and in the remaining 3 days of March, the Celtics played four games and scored three wins and one loss, entering April with a record of 10 wins and 4 losses.

In March, Jianghu and Harden won the best player of the month in the east and west respectively. Jianghu's data is slightly better, averaging 3 points, 32 rebounds and 8 assists per game in a single month. .

The Celtics have a very tight schedule in the middle and early stages of the season. They often have three games in four days, or even four games in six days. more relaxed.

常规赛结束的时间是4月14号，不少的球队在4月的14天里要打7-8场比赛，凯尔特人则是只剩下最后的5场比赛。

Relatively loose game time, other teams let the Celtics are still nervously preparing for the game when they entered April, but the Celtics have already started their rotations ahead of schedule.

Of course, the players can rest, but the coaching staff can't. They are still making plans for their opponents in the playoffs, and they even have to study the teams from the West. The entire coaching staff can't stop for a moment.

On April 4, the Celtics lost to the Spurs was a bit unjust. Irving and Smart had too much fun in a nightclub in San Antonio, and their state was quite sluggish.

The two were sleepwalking almost the entire game, making 26 of 5 shots in total, and only scored 13 points and 8 rebounds in total, and their shooting percentage was a terrifying 20%.

The team's three-pointers were not in good shape, only 35 of 5 shots. In the end, Aldridge and Gasol, who were at home, scored 50 points and 24 rebounds. The Celtics narrowly lost by 4 points and lost to the Holy City.

The Houston Rockets only lost 4 games until the beginning of April. On April 14st, they had a big upset in the away game. The team made 4 of 1 three-pointers, including the second and third quarters , Missed 30 consecutive shots.

此战保罗出场39分钟，16投11中拿到全场最高的29分6篮板13助攻，但根本抵不过哈登15投3中，三分7中0，罚球9中8，砍下13分5篮板8助攻9失误的表现，也使得却以火箭队111比113惜败给了被凯尔特人赛季横扫的黄蜂队。

The Celtics players were still worried that if the team lost the game, the record would be overtaken, and the number one in the league would not be guaranteed, but they were not up to the expectations given the Rockets a chance.

"Harden's performance is too bad..."

"He's already entered playoff mode early..."

"If this can win the MVP, I will definitely not accept it!!"

"Jiang, I think you should be the MVP, not James!!"

Sitting on the return plane, the teammates were also browsing the news of the day. The teammates were all discussing the MVP trophy, hoping that Jianghu could win the award.

Jianghu didn't think he cared much.

Because this award is reasonable no matter whether it is given to Jianghu or Harden. After all, this is a regular season award. Both Jianghu and Harden have performed well on behalf of their teams, and they are the champions in their respective divisions.

两人的数据差距也不是很大，江湖场均31分8.3篮板7.5助攻是联盟得分王，哈登30分5.5篮板8.9助攻。

However, considering that Jianghu is in the eastern part with weaker overall strength, and Harden is in the western part with stronger overall strength, Jianghu thinks that the gold content of Harden's team record is higher than his own.

Think about it carefully, in the east, except for James who is more powerful, Antetokounmpo is actually not mature. The rest of the people, such as DeRozan, Oladipo, Embiid Simmons, Wal Bill Which one is not a chicken and a dog, it is not enough to watch in the playoffs.

In Jianghu's mind, apart from the Celtics, there is basically no team in the East that has a championship appearance. Even the Cavaliers led by James will be vulnerable to the finals.

It has always been a fact that the west is strong and the east is weak, and it is even difficult to change.

As for the west side, not to mention the strength of the Rockets themselves, everyone knows the power of the light bulb combination.

Behind them is a four-star warrior, two peak seasons, MVPs and two teams led by powerful All-Stars, which are hard to find in history.

The Trail Blazers' double-gun Lillardley's guidance is not for nothing. Master Thunderway is at his peak at this time, and Paul George and Carmelo Anthony are beside him. The injured Pelicans can still be ranked No. [-] in the Western Conference. Sixth, before the injury, they were the strongest inside combination in the league. Even the Timberwolves, the eighth in the West, had a lineup of Butler and the double champion.

The Nuggets, ranked ninth in the West, are currently 42 wins and 34 losses. Such a result is enough to rank sixth in the East, but they have no chance of even entering the playoffs in the West.

After entering the Wild West after the new millennium, any team that can achieve 60 wins is worthy of respect, so for this Rockets, Jiang Hu only has admiration in his heart.

As for things like MVP, if you have it, it doesn't matter if you don't. Jianghu thinks he is very strong, but he is not yet the strongest in the league. He is very happy to win the award, and he will not feel regretful if he cannot.

If you don't look forward to it, you won't be disappointed.

And no matter how good the record in the regular season is, it is all for the playoffs. What Jianghu wants to do more is to achieve good results in the playoffs, where the real NBA battlefield is.

On April 4, the Celtics started their own rest operation. The Celtics, who were absent from Jianghu and Irving, lost an away game to the Magic and suffered a No. 6 defeat.At this time, everyone felt that the Rockets were going to have the best record in the league.

However, on April 4th, the Rockets lost the game against the Suns at home. The Suns, with the worst record in the league, only won 8 games before they played against the Rockets, but the average number of lost games was as high as 19 games. , but in the end they had a super upset and killed the league's No. 58 Rockets.

Booker broke out in this game. He scored 35 points on 21 of 54 shots. In the third quarter, he and Harden had a lot of one-on-one singles. Harden made 11 of 7 shots and 19 of 8 free throws to score 2 points. If you only look at this game, Booker seems to be the strongest shooting guard in the league.

However, after this game, the Rockets seemed to have begun to wake up their combat effectiveness and maintained a complete victory in the rest of the game.

The Celtics did not give up much. In the remaining few games, although only one of Jianghu and Irving played the game, and the other took turns, they still easily won against the Pistons, Nets and Eagles.

On April 4, the regular season ended, and the Boston Celtics ended their entire regular season process with a record of 14 wins and 67 losses.

History has undergone some small changes here. The Rockets only won 65 wins in the original time and space. The record has been raised to another level.

The record of 67 wins can already be ranked No.4 in history. No.1 is the Golden State Warriors in 2016. Kurt made 400 three-pointers that season, becoming another unanimous vote after O'Neal The elected MVP of the regular season, No.2 is the 95-96 Chicago Bulls, the comeback Jordan, once again proved like this league, what is the real god of basketball, No.3 is the Los Angeles Lakers in the 71-72 season, that season It has been almost half a century since they achieved an unprecedented 33 consecutive victories, but this record has never been broken in North American sports.

The top three teams are all legends, and except for the Golden State Warriors, they all won the championship that season, but this season, the Rockets and the Celtics are destined to have a team full of regrets. The media even think that even There is also the possibility that both teams will leave regrets...

Together, the Celtics and Rockets broke the record for the best record in franchise history and made sports headlines together.No two teams have won 67 games in the regular season at the same time before, and this kind of team with a record in the regular season usually only has one in each season.

This is a major event recorded in the annals of history. All the media compared Jianghu and Harden, because they are the leading stars and top scorers of the two teams.

The confrontation between the two is very similar to the "black and white war" between Magic Johnson and Larry Bird, James and Kobe, Duncan and Nowitzki.

常规赛江湖出战了78场，场均出战36.5分钟，砍下31.3分8.2篮板6.5助攻1.6抢断1.1盖帽。他投篮命中率53.5%，三分命中率42.8%，罚球命中率90.6%，成为了库里以后，历史第二位30分+180俱乐部的球员。

180俱乐部，又称为50-40-90俱乐部。指的是NBA球员整个赛季的投篮命中率至少为50%，三分命中率至少为40%，以及罚球命中率至少为90%。

He topped the scoring list, became the scoring leader in the regular season, and is also the player with the most total points in the league this season.

詹姆斯·哈登场均出战37.7分钟，砍下30.4分5.4篮板8.8助攻2.2抢断0.5盖帽。他投篮命中率44.9%，三分命中率36.7%，罚球命中率85.7%。

Except for assists, Jianghu is almost in the lead in all statistics.

In addition, Jianghu averaged 3.7 three-pointers per game, ranking third in the league in three-pointers.Second only to Curry and Thompson, he is very satisfied with his performance outside the three-point line, but his performance is not stable enough.When he feels good, he can score more than 5 three-pointers in a single game, and when he feels bad, he can't score one. He has failed to make a three-pointer in 5 games, which is incredible for Curry and Thompson.

In addition, Jianghu occasionally makes fouls and kills at the basket, averaging only 7.5 free throws per game, and Harden averages 10 free throws per game.Harden's scoring is more focused on free throws, and Jianghu's scoring efficiency is higher, thanks to Jordan's "God's Back" and his mid-range jumper shot 53℅, surpassing Duran Ranked first in the league.

Jianghu's mid-range two-point shooting rate is 56%, and the long two-point shooting rate is slightly lower at 50.2%.His mid-range shots accounted for 56℅ of all shots, and the fadeaway jumper has become his trademark.

In addition, Jianghu's efficiency value of 31.5 also ranks first in the league, surpassing James' 29.8 and Curry's 29.4.

But there is nothing to mention about this thing now. Before James dominated the list all the time, James fans liked to use this to talk about it, trying to prove that James’ efficiency is better than O’Neal’s, crushing Kobe. Since Curry capped the list in the 16th season, the efficiency value It becomes a dispensable thing.

Jianghu's true shooting percentage of 65.5% ranks fourth in the league, No. 4 is Capela's 1%, and DeAndre Jordan's 75.5% is second. Jianghu is the only outside player among the top five.

Neither James Harden nor LeBron James have entered the top ten. There are two outsiders in the top ten, namely Stephen Curry, who is ranked eighth, and Kevin Durant, who is ranked tenth. The key is this The two are still on the same team...

However, at the end of the regular season, Jianghu and Harden, the Celtics and the Rockets almost stole all the limelight, but almost all media predicted that the two teams would not be able to meet in the NBA Finals.

It is so difficult for the Western Conference team to win the Warriors in four games in the series, it seems like an impossible task.

The two teams not only have the same record, but also have the same record with each other, with one win and one loss.

To determine who is number one in the league, the third point is to look at the records of the two teams playing against the other top eight teams in the league. The one with the highest winning percentage is at the top.

In this regard, the Rockets have an advantage. Most of the games they lose are teams in the middle and lower reaches of the league. It's only lost 3 games throughout the season, one for the Warriors, one for the Celtics, and one for the Heat.

The rankings of the entire East and West are also released.

First in the Eastern Conference: Boston Celtics 67 wins and 15 losses.

Second in the East: Toronto Raptors 58 wins and 24 losses.

Third in the East: Cleveland Cavaliers 51 wins and 31 losses.

Fourth in the East: Philadelphia 76ers 50 wins and 32 losses.

Fifth in the East: Indiana Pacers 48 wins and 34 losses.

Sixth in the Eastern Conference: Miami Heat 44 wins and 38 losses.

Seventh in the East: Milwaukee Bucks 44 wins and 38 losses.

Eighth in the East: Washington Wizards 43 wins and 39 losses.

According to the record, the four teams in the East will face off against the Celtics VS Wizards, Raptors VS Bucks, Cavaliers VS Heat, Philadelphia 76ers VS Pacers.

There are two groups of more interesting matchups in the East.

The trash brothers played against Antetokounmpo + Middleton.

James played against his old team of four years, and also played against his good brother, who came to the Cavaliers at the beginning of the season and finally returned to Wade in Miami.

Jianghu + Irving against Bill + Wall is not a good series. Everyone wants to see whether Jianghu, who averaged 31+ points per game in the regular season, can continue his outstanding performance in the playoffs. Whether the playoffs are better or worse.

There is no change in the memory of Jianghu in the west.

The first to eighth in the West are the Rockets, Warriors, Trail Blazers, Thunder, Jazz, Pelicans, Spurs, and Timberwolves.

The Nuggets with 46 wins and the Clippers with 42 wins are still lining up at the gate of the playoffs. At this time, there is no playoff, and they have no chance to fight.

The four teams in the Western Conference are Rockets VS Timberwolves, Warriors VS Spurs, Trail Blazers VS Pelicans, Thunder VS Jazz.

Jianghu is also looking forward to how the plot in the west will develop...

Will Mitchell strangle Master West and George again?

How will Rondo Davis and Lillard develop?

Will the Rockets with 67 wins and the Rockets with 65 wins give different answers to the Warriors...
