NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

best friend?

This bastard, this bastard who is so annoying that makes people want to punch him in the face, who always makes me angry, always plays tricks on me, and makes me embarrassed when nothing happens, says that I am his best friend in this life?

Jordan, who had just come to his senses, was again a little dizzy after hearing Lin Tian's seemingly sincere words.

I don’t want to be KFC either, but he said I’m his best friend!
Jordan walked to the middle of Lin Tian and Stern, took the microphone, let out a long sigh, and then said: "Lin is also my best friend."

Stern: ?????

Who asked you this?
I'm asking you if you're going to retire! I'm asking you what you're thinking!
Who cares whether your best friend is Lin Tian or Tom, the guy next door who likes drinking and playing golf?
Jordan's words made Lin Tian feel a little embarrassed. Was it a bit too much for me, Mr. Lin, to tease Jordan like this?
Then, the system, which had not had any new activity for a long time, suddenly sounded a prompt.

After seeing the system's notification this time, Lin Tian confirmed that -

I should be even more extreme!
Anyway, Jordan won't be angry, brother! As long as he doesn't let his wife give birth to a yellow child, what conflicts can't the two of them sit down and talk about?

"Michael Jordan's mood swings, and he drops a permanent skill: God's Back Hit LV1 (0/3500)"

"God's Back Attack LV1: Back attack ability increased by 30%."

The shorter the introduction, the more powerful it is!
Lin Tian has so many skills, and the others are all introduced in a lot of exaggerated ways, and then increase the ability by 10%. Jordan's thing is 30% at the beginning! It's only level 1, what if it goes up one level?
Just do it if you think of it!
Lin Tian no longer cared about Jordan's emotional speech, nor did he analyze why Jordan could give him such a big good thing this time.

Was it because Jordan went from anger to shock to confusion and then was completely PUA'd by his own words, all those emotions switching too quickly, so in the end such a big thing broke out?
It doesn’t matter, Mr. Lin has already completed the skill upgrade.

"God's Back-Up LV2 (0/7000): Back-up singles ability increased by 40%!"

Bullshit!
It's a 10% improvement right from the start, which is very generous. It is completely different from those skills that increase little by little by 1% or 2%!

After all, it was Jordan's signature skill throughout his three consecutive championship period!

At the same time, Lin Tian could feel that this thing was more than just improving the ability to play back-to-the-basket.

He feels that all his post-up abilities, such as footwork, confrontation, perception of defense, accuracy of turnaround jump shot, stability of fadeaway jump shot, etc., have improved in all aspects.

Lin Tian felt a little unsatisfied at this moment and wanted everyone to go back to the court to play another game.

I am quite excited when I get new things!

Then Lin Tian took a look at his own panel. His back-to-the-basket attribute was directly upgraded from the original A- to A+!

A 40% bonus is simply extraordinary!

"What are you thinking about? Applaud." Lin Tian was still in the system, and then he felt someone touching him. It was Kidd! This guy with a great overall view reminded Lin Tian that it was time to applaud.

Because Jordan had finished his speech, raised tonight's MVP trophy, and waved it in front of everyone.

"What did he say just now?" Lin Tian couldn't help but asked.

"He said you were his best friend and the greatest asset he had gained since entering the NBA, and thanked you for everything you did for him, but he really hasn't thought about retiring yet."

As expected of a top point guard, Jordan spoke eloquently for at least 2-3 minutes. Many fans were still wiping tears at this moment. When it came to Kidd, he summed it up in just two sentences.

Lin Tian nodded and said nothing more, but he felt that Jordan looked at him in a strange way.

What is this guy thinking?

What are you thinking about?

In Jordan's mind, a movie script has already been completed! Jordan felt that Lin Tian was helping him regain his confidence and feelings! He felt that Lin Tian was using his own way to help him regain his peak state!
Jordan believes that Lin Tian has seen himself being provoked by many young people throughout the first half of the season and has not been able to give a corresponding response.

In other words, many people have beaten Jordan this year!
Lin Tian must be worried about his self-esteem being hurt! He must be worried that he would want to retire! He must be worried that he would lose his former confidence!

So, Lin Tian, ​​this good guy, secretly mobilized everyone to feed me the ball in the All-Star Game, and then told me about it in the way I disliked the most, and then used the words "last year" to motivate me to play for another year!
He is indeed my best buddy! He is indeed the one who knows me best! This bastard knows my temper too well!
He knew that I, Jordan, would not accept any help, pity, charity or anything else. He also knew that even if I originally planned to retire after this year, after he said that, I would definitely not choose to retire, but would play for another year no matter what!
The way Jordan looks at Lin Tian right now is so sexy!
What more could one ask for in life than to have a close friend? Especially when this close friend has done so much for you, but pretends to be indifferent, or even deliberately hides the fact by pretending to hurt you.

Humph, childish ghost!
Maybe this guy was very disappointed when I didn't draft Yao Ming and Gasol this summer to save face? Maybe I hurt my good friend's heart and made him very painful?
This is the last time! This is definitely the last time!
From today on, I, Michael Jordan, will not let my best buddy down! Nor will I let him worry about me anymore!

Make it to the playoffs!
I have to make it to the playoffs to let this guy know that I'm not old yet! At least, I'm not old enough for him to worry about me!

If Lin Tian heard Jordan's brainstorming and knew how he got this skill, he would be very... Well, Mr. Lin would definitely force himself to hold back his laughter, then show a shocked look and say: "You saw through all this! You are worthy of being Michael Jordan!"

In that case, Jordan might become too excited and use another skill.

But Jordan didn't say anything, and Lin Tian didn't ask.

Even... Lin Tian is a little worried at this moment.

Jordan was so moved. If he knew in the future that he was beaten by so many people this season because of his instigation and provocation,
Jordan: What are you talking about, brother! You are being polite! I know you prepared this for me so that I can quickly adapt to the intensity of the game, feel the impact of the newcomers in the league, and return to my peak form as soon as possible!

I understand! As brothers, we all understand!
You know the shit!

Lin Tian quickly turned his head away, not daring to look at Jordan again. Jordan's eyes at this moment were really a bit scary.

How can I put it? I can’t describe it, but it’s scary anyway!
Stay away, you must stay away!
However, what Lin Tian did not expect was that after the All-Star Game, while he was in a daze, the reporters at the scene were actually snapping away like crazy. They took a lot of photos, and then combined them with the speeches of Lin Tian and Jordan, and added various headlines. One after another, what Lin Tian called disgusting press releases appeared!
"Brotherly love! The former Bulls champion backcourt reveals their true feelings at the All-Star Game!"

"Tearful moment! Qiao Dan and Lin Tian both had tears in their eyes last night!"

"You are my best friend! You are my greatest asset! Why did former teammates end up splitting up?"

"For you I will never retire! For you I am willing to be the enemy of the world!"

"When Jordan was giving a speech, Lin Tian was rarely in a daze, staring straight at Jordan, with only him in his eyes!"

"When Lin Tian spoke, Jordan was stunned, moved, and then expressed his true feelings. They are the best brothers in the NBA!"

"Lin Tian gave Jordan 75% of his assists, and the way he tried his best to grab the rebound for Jordan at the last moment was touching!"

"Only you can make me willing to give up the limelight! Watching Jordan return to the top, Lin Tian sincerely wishes him well!"

"After the buzzer beater, everyone rushed towards Jordan, only Lin Tian stood silently on the side! If we are brothers, we will never take away your glory!"

"You are my glory! Jordan celebrates passionately after the buzzer beater, Lin Tian watches with satisfaction!"

These pieces of news made Lin Tian feel sick!
What the hell is this?

What have I done to make you disgusted by me?
Did I eat your rice or sleep with the wife of the president of the American Guild of Journalists? Do you disgust me so much?
Lin Tian doesn't care whether the word "corruption" exists in this era. Anyway, he is definitely a staunch opponent!
Don't get involved with this kind of stuff, it's disgusting!

But for Lin Tian, ​​the most disgusting thing at the moment is not the overwhelming reports. After all, he doesn't have to respond to them. As long as he doesn't buy newspapers or read the news for a week, nothing will happen.

But the most disgusting thing now is that Lin Tian’s friends can all read!

"Oh my God, let's see who this is, oh, damn, isn't this the great friend of the great Michael Jordan!" On the plane back to Indiana, Miller came up to Lin Tian in an exaggerated tone.

"Oh my dear Reggie, you are wrong to say that!" Barkley's fat body also appeared.

"Our Lin is the best and closest partner of the great Michael Jordan. Don't blame me for not reminding you. If you make this damn mistake again, I will kick your damn ass!"

"Ben, Vince, can you guys chase these two bastards away? I don't want to hear even a word they say!" Lin Tian really wanted to punch these two bastards each at this moment, so that they would be quiet and stop bothering him.

"Oh, no! What did I hear! The damn Lin actually wanted me to get out of here. Am I not his most beloved and closest partner?"

"Of course not, Charles. You are just a giant flying pig. Lin's best friend is, of course, the great Michael. When he heard Michael's speech, he even shed damn tears!"

Miller and Barkley were getting more and more excited in their performance, and they were even starting to use exaggerated stage-play-like movements.

Lin Tian has never suffered this in his life!
nausea! too disgusting!
Unfortunately, he had no place to seek justice.

How could he explain it? He said it himself!
Lin Tianzhen felt it was not worth it for a broken skill!
Regret! I regret it so much!
If I had known that I didn’t need this skill, I wouldn’t do this kind of thing.

Unable to bear the annoyance, Lin Tian finally stood up and looked at Miller and said:
"Practice with me when you get back. I learned a few new moves in this All-Star Game!"

After saying that, Lin Tian didn't wait for Miller to refuse and walked straight towards the toilet.

He would rather stay in the toilet for an hour than face these two bastards. It's so disgusting!

At the same time, on the plane to Washington, Jordan's situation.
Well, the situation is very good!
No one in Washington dared to tease him. This time, Brown was the only one from Washington who came to Philadelphia with Jordan. Of course, Brown participated in the Rookie Challenge.

"Kwame." Jordan, in a good mood, leaned back in his chair and looked at Brown and said, "After we return to Washington, let's continue with special training and continue to get stronger! I will teach you more! Even if you can't win the best rookie this year and can't compare to others, I believe that's only because you are young! In three years at most, you will be the best in your class!"

"Well, yes Michael, I will try my best." Brown's voice was a little small, without any confidence at all.

There's nothing we can do about it. Who made him play for 20 minutes in the Rookie Challenge but only got such poor statistics of 3 points, 4 rebounds and 1 block?

At the same time, when Brown heard Jordan say that he wanted to continue special training, he did not seem excited at all. Instead, he buried his head even lower.

If given a choice, he really didn't want to train with Jordan, and he didn't even want to play with Jordan.

The pressure is too great, Jordan is too strict!

Brown hopes that he can be a nobody in the Wizards! It would be best if no one can find him and just keep him in the corner.

Instead of being like now, being regarded as the hope of revival by the whole of Washington, everyone is staring at him, his games, his training, and even his private life!
He doesn't like this.

But... he didn't dare to say it.

If he dared to say it out loud, maybe he wouldn't be afraid of these things.

With the end of the All-Star Game, the first half of the regular season has finally come to an end. Each team will have about 50 days and 25 regular season games to play.

From this time on, each team will either work hard to improve their ranking or work hard to lower their ranking so as to get a higher draft pick.

Even though 02 is generally recognized as a weak year for the draft, apart from Jay Williams, Dwyane Wade, Dunleavy Jr. and a few others, there are not many rookies worth paying attention to this year, not to mention that there are several people who have not even said whether they want to participate in the draft!
But in fact, the younger the draft year, the more important the earlier the pick!

After all, in a good draft year, you can pick a genius with any pick you get, but in a bad draft year, there are only 1-2 top players, and if you miss them, you’ll lose them all!

The year when this situation was most obvious was probably 1997. Duncan stood out that year, and many people believed that the value of the first pick that year was higher than the 2nd to 10th picks combined!

And as time went by and several years passed, it was really almost like this!

The success rate of the 97 generation is really not worth mentioning!
But of course, the Spurs, who got the No. 1 pick, didn't reach any great heights. They only played in the finals once and then the team quickly disbanded.

I have to say, it’s a matter of time and fate!
Another event worth mentioning during this period is the trading deadline, which is the last chance for every team to adjust their lineup!
This year, the desire and actions of the teams to trade are not too great! Except for the Mavericks's move to send Juwan Howard, who was not valued by the team, to the Nuggets in exchange for "Madman" Van Exel and Liev Lavrentz, there are no trades worth mentioning.

Each team is playing small-scale games, maintaining their own lineups while making minor adjustments on the edges of the lineup.

As for the Pacers, they did not make any trades or reinforcements. This is Bird's usual habit. Unless there is a reason to trade, he has always advocated stability in the middle of the season and plays the next game with the current lineup!
With the passing of the trading deadline, the regular season has officially entered the second half of the season!

At this time, the Pacers' record is 38 wins and 19 losses, temporarily ranking second in the Eastern Conference. As for the first place in the Eastern Conference, the Magic has left the Pacers and other pursuers far behind, with a record of 43 wins and 15 losses. The third is the Nets, who made a big signing and trade this offseason. They have a good record of 36 wins and 21 losses, and still have the opportunity to rush up!

Fourth is the Boston Celtics, who have played well this year and have a steadily improving record. They have already won 34 games and have a very good chance of surpassing the Nets and getting the top three in the division for the first time since Bird retired!
Next is the 76ers who were plagued by injuries and ranked fifth, led by Stackhouse, the Detroit Pistons who ranked sixth, and seventh is the Bucks, another team whose record has declined significantly, led by three Musketeers.

The Heat, whose record has improved due to the return of Alonzo Mourning but are still not very stable, are temporarily ranked eighth, and they are only one win behind the Bucks.

It is also worth mentioning that the Wizards are currently 27 wins and 27 losses, ranking ninth in the Eastern Conference, and the Hornets are 27 wins and 28 losses, ranking tenth in the Eastern Conference! They are only 1-2 wins behind the Heat and Bucks, and still have hope of entering the playoffs!

The competition for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference this year is unusually fierce!

As for the Western Conference, their situation is somewhat similar to that of the Eastern Conference, with one team far ahead of other teams.

The East is the Magic, and the West is of course the Lakers!

The Lakers currently have 44 wins and 14 losses. Although they are ranked first in the league, their lead is not large and they may be overtaken by the Magic at any time! For the Lakers, the biggest problem is not that they may be overtaken by the Magic.

But the absolute core of the Lakers, O'Neal, is still in poor condition. Even though he was idle during the All-Star Weekend, his foot injury has never fully healed. This is definitely a hidden danger for the Lakers!
In addition, the second place in the Western Conference is the Mavericks with 40 wins and 17 losses, the third is the Kings with 38 wins and 19 losses, the fourth is the Timberwolves with 37 wins, the fifth is the Trail Blazers with 35 wins, and the sixth is the SuperSonics with 31 wins.

It is worth mentioning that the winning rates of the Clippers in seventh place and the Jazz in eighth place are both lower than 50%!

Even so, they have already opened up a considerable gap with the Suns in ninth place and the Spurs in tenth place!

In other words, unless something unexpected happens, such as Hardaway suddenly recovering to full health or David Robinson returning to his peak, the playoff teams in the Western Conference this year will most likely be the above eight teams!
Due to various reasons, the competitiveness of the Western Conference has further deteriorated this year!
Now, the biggest wish of many bad teams is that top college players like Wade and Hinrich will stop going to college and come to the NBA as soon as possible.

And top high school students like Anthony and Stoudemire should stop going to college and join the NBA as soon as possible!
The team needs you!
These guys who may or may not participate in the selection will affect a team's plans for the next three or even five years!
And it is precisely for this reason that the 02 draft was somewhat confusing.

Is it a good year or a bad year? Is it full of geniuses or mediocre people?
We will have to wait until the fight to find out!
The following season went very smoothly and seamlessly. No one fought, no particularly exaggerated statistics appeared, and everything was calm.

As the remaining time of the regular season becomes shorter and shorter, the competition between teams whose rankings are still uncertain is becoming more fierce and brutal.

Especially on the edge of the playoffs, that is, the 6-10 area, several teams are eager to beat each other's brains out!

When it came to April, the Wizards relied on Jordan's almost desperate performance in the last week of March to win four consecutive games and made it to seventh in the Eastern Conference.

But they are only 1 win ahead of the tenth-placed Hornets in the Eastern Conference, 0.5 win ahead of the ninth-placed Heat, and have the same record as the eighth-placed Bucks. They only got to seventh place thanks to a 2-1 record against each other!

It can be said that the playoff battle between these four teams will become the most exciting and anticipated drama in the last 10 days of the regular season! Who will make it to the shore, who will fall behind, and who will collapse directly because of the lack of perseverance?
It is worth mentioning here that, apparently because of the butterfly effect of Lin Tian’s arrival, Jordan did not encounter any injury problems this season. Not only did he play all the games, but he also averaged 25 points per game in the second half of the season, allowing everyone to once again witness how powerful Jordan is!
Apart from the battle royal of the bottom four teams, the only team in the East that has completely secured its position is the Magic. They have already won 4 games and are 60 games ahead of the second-placed Pacers in the East. With only eight games left in the regular season, it is almost impossible for them to fail!
As for other teams in the Eastern Conference, the gap between them is mostly between 1-2 games. Although it is not stable, it ultimately only affects which opponent they will face in the first round of the playoffs, and does not affect the overall situation.

Compared to the mess in the East where the rankings may change at any time, the competition in the West is somewhat boring. Like the Lakers and Magic, they left other teams behind early on. They have also won 60 games and are firmly in first place in the Western Conference.

Next, it will depend on whether the Lakers and Magic will compete for the top spot in the league.

In addition, the Mavericks have 55 wins and the Kings have 54 wins. These two teams are currently ranked second and third in the Western Conference. There is a high probability that they will meet in the second round of the Western Conference, so the competition between the two teams for home-court advantage has entered a white-hot stage.

Apart from these three teams, the rest of the Western Conference teams were clearly left behind. The fourth-placed Timberwolves only had 45 wins, more than 10 games behind! Meanwhile, the eighth-placed Jazz only had 36 wins, but they were already five games ahead of the ninth-placed Spurs, so they had almost secured a playoff spot.

The competition in the West this year is indeed not fierce enough!
Finally, when the time officially entered April, the situation of the alliance gradually became clear!

First, the Mavericks and the Kings had the upper hand in the final battle in April, extending their lead to two games and thus securing the second place in the Western Conference. Even if the Kings were not satisfied, they had to accept the reality that they could only rank third in the Western Conference.

Then the Trail Blazers reversed the Timberwolves and reached the fourth place. They will also have home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs.

The rankings of the remaining teams did not change. The final rankings of the top eight teams in the Western Conference are as follows:
1. Los Angeles Lakers 65 wins and 17 losses.

2. Dallas Mavericks 60 wins and 22 losses.

3. Sacramento Kings 58 wins and 24 losses.

4. Portland Trail Blazers 51 wins and 31 losses.

5. Minnesota Timberwolves 50 wins and 32 losses.

6. Seattle SuperSonics 44 wins and 38 losses.

7. Utah Jazz 38 wins and 44 losses.

8. Los Angeles Clippers 36 wins and 46 losses.

For the entire Western Conference, the rankings of most teams are in line with pre-season expectations. The most disappointing team is undoubtedly the Suns. After they gambled everything on acquiring Marbury in the summer, what they got was the complete destruction of Hardaway and the team's record plummeting.

Comparing the results of the opposing Nets team, Marbury's identity as a cancer has been completely confirmed.

Then there are the Jazz and the Clippers. Since Malone left and Stockton retired, the Jazz finally returned to the playoffs. Even if they are just playing the role of accompanying the prince to study, they have made a comeback, haven't they?

As for the Clippers, this bottom-ranked team two years ago finally returned to everyone's attention thanks to the successful trade of Brand. After many years, they finally returned to the playoffs!
Compared to the calm situation in the Western Conference, where all other teams have already secured their positions early except for the battle for second and third place, the fighting in the Eastern Conference is much more brutal than that in the Western Conference!

Especially in the second half of the ranking, it took until the last day to finally win!

First of all, the Magic team failed to win the duel with the Lakers, and finally won only 64 games, ranking second in the league. The Pacers relied on once again defeating the Nets and locked up the second place in the Eastern Conference early. The Nets also have a big gap with the 76ers behind them.

But starting from the fourth place, the entire Eastern Conference was divided into two groups, and a fierce competition began! The first was the 4ers, Celtics and Pistons, who were ranked 6-76. At the beginning of April, their records were only 4 games apart, almost at the same starting line.

When the time entered April, the 4ers were the first to land! Because Iverson and Mutombo finally returned from injury! They all recovered. The 76ers also played a wave of 76 consecutive wins in April, thus widening the gap and firmly sitting in fourth place.

The Celtics and the Pistons played until the last day of the season, with the Celtics only leading the Pistons by one game. Because of the win-loss relationship, as long as the Celtics lost on the last day and the Pistons won, the rankings of the two teams would be swapped.

The final result did not disappoint. Both the games between the Celtics and the Pistons were full of drama.

The Celtics led the entire game, but suddenly lost power in the last 2 minutes of the game and were defeated by their opponents 10:0, losing the last game of the season!
The Pistons were the opposite. They were behind throughout the game, but they showed their might in the last 5 minutes, launching a 14:3 offensive wave to reverse the game and win, not only becoming fifth in the Eastern Conference as they wished!
What follows is the most brutal 7-10 ranking match!
The first team to fall behind among the four teams was the Bucks. This team, which reached the Eastern Conference semifinals last year and was known for its youth and explosive firepower, encountered huge problems this year. Although several key players on the team did not suffer any injuries, their record just dropped.

Rumor has it that this is because Glenn Robinson and Ray Allen had an internal conflict over team status and shooting rights, which led to the team becoming disunited.

This rumor is still very credible! After all, their head coach George Karl has a criminal record.

As early as the Supersonics period, he allowed Kemp to bully players on the team, which led to violence on the court. Jim and Kemp fought each other on the court, causing the rapid fall of this top Western powerhouse. Payton and Kemp also left the team one after another.

This year's Bucks team will most likely see a similar story, but I don't know who will come and go this time, and who will be promoted by the Bucks.

But those are all things for next season. At least this season, the Bucks only got 41 wins and ranked tenth in the Eastern Conference!

The next team to fall behind was the Wizards!

Jordan has had almost no rest since late March. In the last four games of March, he averaged 3 minutes per game, scoring 3 points, 41 rebounds and 31 assists. While leading the team to four consecutive wins, he also won his first Player of the Week award this season.

But then April came and Jordan's physical strength was obviously no longer able to hold up!

他在4月的8场比赛的登场时间仍旧超过了41分钟，可他的输出却下降到了25分3篮板1助攻，命中率也只有40%出头。

Jordan's efficiency declined, obviously because he was getting older, his physical strength and recovery ability had dropped significantly, and by April, he really couldn't hold on any longer.

With the efficiency of the team leader declining so obviously, the Wizards' record was naturally not guaranteed. They only had a record of 4 wins and 3 losses in April, being surpassed by the Heat and Hornets behind them. In the end, they lost their advantage and only got 5 wins, unfortunately missing the playoffs.

It is also worth mentioning that the Wizards' No. 2 pick failed to live up to his talent in the end. The 6+4 performance before the All-Star Game in February was already his best performance of the season.

In March, Kwame Brown averaged only 3 points and 5 rebounds per game. In April, because the team had to compete for a playoff spot, there was no time for him to level up. This guy lost the opportunity directly. His average playing time dropped sharply to 3 minutes, and his average statistics dropped to 4 points and 15 rebound.

Throughout the season, Kwame Brown averaged 4.7 points, 3.1 rebounds and 0.8 blocks per game. It is not an exaggeration to say that this is the worst performance of the No. pick in NBA history.

Compared to him, Ogwokandi is like an All-Star!
The worst champion in history has finally been born.

As for Jordan, he played all 82 games this season, averaging 34.2 minutes per game, scoring 24.3 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.1 assists, with a shooting percentage of 42.3%!

Although his level is nothing compared to his peak period, and several games in April almost became the biggest reason for the team's loss, the 4-year-old Jordan should not be underestimated. He can still play his own thing!

After the Wizards and Bucks were eliminated, the Heat and Hornets finally made it to the final standings of the Eastern Conference.

1. Orlando Magic 64 wins and 18 losses.

2. Indiana Pacers 57 wins and 25 losses.

3. New Jersey Nets 54 wins and 28 losses.

4. Philadelphia 76ers 49 wins and 33 losses.

5. Detroit Pistons 47 wins and 35 losses.

6. Boston Celtics 47 wins and 35 losses.

7. Charlotte Hornets 44 wins and 38 losses.

8. Miami Heat 43 wins and 39 losses.

Compared to the Western Conference, the final ranking battle in the Eastern Conference was obviously much more exciting, and the rankings of many teams were not finally decided until the last day of the season.

Coupled with the Wizards' 42 wins and the Bucks' 41 wins, the Eastern Conference's competitiveness this year is indeed not bad!

With 16 teams in the East and West securing their places in the playoffs, the playoff showdown, which is also the ultimate showdown of this season, is about to officially begin!
Of course, it is also worth mentioning those teams that are at the bottom of the list.

They work hard all year just for that extremely important lottery ranking!
Especially with Anthony announcing that he was going to college, and top juniors like Wade and Hinrich also saying they wanted to play for another year, this year's draft year really isn't that big.

Again, the more this is the case, the more important a higher draft pick becomes!

In the end, the Bulls, who had ambitiously acquired two five-star high school students at the beginning of the season, and the Warriors, who acquired Richardson, both won 21 games and tied for last place. However, the Warriors lost in the two most crucial matchups of the season, which were direct confrontations with the Bulls!

So, the Warriors successfully ranked last with these two great defeats, and the Bulls lost a season and won the two games they should not have won. The result was that head coach Bill Cartwright was directly fired because his hair was not combed bright enough when he went to work on Wednesday.

The team also lost the opportunity to draw the No. 1 pick with the highest probability.

I regret it!
排在这两支球队之后的就是23胜的灰熊，接着就是分别拿下27胜和28胜的掘金、火箭，以及29胜的骑士、30胜的尼克斯。

These teams will also become the strongest contenders for the No. 1 pick this year!
At the same time as the regular season ended, the league announced several regular season awards as if it was in a hurry to get off work.

最佳新秀的奖杯被篮网队的加索尔和大姚两人共同举起，大姚本赛季场均拿下15.3分7.8篮板1.8盖帽的漂亮数据，加索尔也能拿下15.8分6.9篮板2.8助攻和1.1次盖帽的数据。

In addition, the Nets are ranked third in the Eastern Conference this season, and their record has improved by more than 20 games compared to last year. The data, records, and influence of these two people on the team can be said to be far superior to others. It is only normal for them to win the best rookie trophy together.

In addition, in addition to Yao Ming and Gasol, this year's Rookie of the Year First Team also includes Jason Richardson of the Warriors, Sean Battier of the Grizzlies and Tony Parker of the Pacers!
The second team of the year is composed of Joe Johnson, Radmanovic, Jamal Tinsley, Gilbert Arenas and Eddie Griffin!

The Pacers are the biggest winner again!

After all, no matter how powerful the Nets' two tall players are, they are still top rookies in the top five draft picks. It is only natural and well-deserved for them to be named to the Rookie of the Year First Team.

But the two players on the Pacers, one at the end of the first round and the other in the second round, made the All-Rookie Team, which is definitely a great low-round pick! (End of this chapter)
