Chapter 689 689. Curtain Call of the Regular Season
64 wins and 18 losses, the Lakers easily defeated the Jazz, relying on the record of 3 wins and 1 loss between the two teams to beat the Spurs, the Lakers finally entered the playoffs with a top record in any year.
But a record of 64 wins can only rank second in the division.
Since there was no Kobe Bryant retirement tour this year, and the Lakers didn't perform particularly well, it would be surprising if such a good lineup didn't win 60 wins. Now they just won more than 60 wins, which is quite satisfactory. The Deng Tai-Jones fight, Liu Ren's 29 points in the early stage of the division, and the Lakers almost taking the Western Conference All-Star starter. These three highlights, the Lakers basically have no big surprises this season.
So, this year's spotlight is all on the 72 wins, the last game at home against the Memphis Grizzlies.
最终靠着史蒂夫-科尔的一大四小战术，库里最后时刻连中4球，勇士队主场122比114险胜灰熊队，勇士队在去年的湖人队之后成为第二支打破了公牛队保持了近20年的历史最佳战绩的球队，以73胜9负排名NBA历史第二的常规赛战绩结束2015-2016赛季的征程。
And the 2013-2014 season has risen crazily. Before the start of the 2014-2015 season, many people had predicted that the Lakers would have an amazing season.
In the 2013-2014 season, the Lakers had a large-scale injury for the first time, and fell to fifth in the West for a while. In the end, it was Kobe's comeback that suppressed the decline. Then the Lakers regained their strength and maintained a difficult three-game losing streak throughout the season. The strength of the Lakers has been maintained for three seasons, breaking the Lakers' own record of no three-game losing streak in two and a half seasons from 2007 to 2010.
But at that time, the Lakers were still surprising, and they actually won 74 wins.
And this year the Warriors are even more surprising. People think their rise last season was amazing. Who knows that this year started with a wave of 29 consecutive victories. In the end, it was the Lakers who turned the tide, relying on Liu Ren's last moment of 29 seconds and 14 minutes Historic performance ended their 29-game winning streak.
This is also the reason why many people think that the Lakers are not weaker than the Warriors even though the Lakers' record against the Warriors is 1 win and 3 losses.
And the Lakers also kept their own record of 74 wins in the regular season. If they are swept by the Warriors, the Warriors are very likely to tie their record. It is also possible to break the Lakers' 30-game winning streak and play too purposefully and become too obsessed with winning and losing a few more games in a row. No one can tell what kind of changes will be caused by the butterfly effect...
The last regular season curtain call on April 4th, which is the curtain call of the entire NBA regular season, the Spurs and the Rockets played a big battle at home. After the Spurs beat the Rockets 16 to 136, the NBA regular season officially began. it's over.
The league's teams entering the playoffs are all determined.
In the East, the Cavaliers ranked No. 57 in the East with a record of 25 wins and 1 losses, the Knicks ranked second in the East with 56 wins and 26 losses, the Raptors ranked third in the East with 50 wins and 32 losses, and the Eagles ranked third in the East with 42 wins and 40 losses. In fourth place in the Eastern Conference, the Celtics rank fifth in the Eastern Conference with 50 wins and 32 losses. However, although the Celtics are limited to third in the division and rank fifth, they still have home court advantage against the Hawks in the playoffs. Yes, although the ranking is based on the divisional ranking, the home field advantage in the playoffs is still calculated based on the record.
The team that has improved the most in the entire league this year is the Philadelphia 76ers, ranked sixth in the East. They won Isaiah Thomas and reinjected the soul of Philadelphia that Iverson took away for Philadelphia. The 76ers sent away a first-rounder The last draft pick and two second-round picks plus the best rookie McAway in exchange for Isaiah Thomas was the most wise decision they made after sending away Iverson in 2007. Dala's exchange for the league's second center is simply a godlike deal.
This year, the 76ers selected D'Angelo Russell, a rookie with a historical level of shooting talent, signed Jordan Hill, Rockets veteran Landry, renewed Covington and Rotten, and retained the previous Excellent role player lineup, with Isaiah Thomas, D'Angelo Russell, and Nerlens Noel as the core lineup, continuing the strong momentum in the second half of last season and ending the season with a record of 47 wins and 35 losses The journey, ranked sixth in the Eastern Conference.
The seventh in the East is to sign Jeremy Lin, Batum, and Al Jefferson as the three starters, and then trade to get Mike Scott, Jeremy Lamb, Marvin Williams and other high-quality characters After the player played the Hornets with a record of 44 wins and 38 losses.
The eighth place in the Eastern Conference is the Pacers who won 42 wins and 40 losses after Paul George's comeback.
The Wizards, who were about to enter the top four in the Eastern Conference last season, are strangely bad this year. They really fell inexplicably, that is, they suddenly went from being regarded as a super-potential lineup that might bring down the Knicks or the Hawks. Sliding down to the top eight in the East, they couldn't make it, and finally ranked No.11 in the East.
This can only be described by the meaning of the Wizards team name, they were cursed by the "wizard".
The most regrettable thing is the Bulls, who are ranked ninth in the Eastern Conference. They are relying on Jimmy Butler and the little black bean Aaron when Rose is reimbursed for another season, Noah continues to slump, and they have not introduced any stars. -Brooks led the team to a record of 41 wins and 41 losses, but in the end they still failed to overtake the Pacers, unfortunately ranked ninth in the Eastern Conference.
The Pistons are more surprising, almost reaching a 5% winning percentage, and a record of 40 wins and 42 losses ranks tenth in the Eastern Conference.
In the west, the Warriors have basically locked in the league's first record since the start of more than 20 consecutive victories, which is more brutal than the Lakers' start last season, and their 29-game winning streak has basically become an unbreakable start record.
Both the Lakers and the Spurs are 64 wins and 18 losses. The Lakers are second in the West and the Spurs are third in the West.
The Thunder ranked fourth in the Western Conference with 55 wins and 27 losses. The tragic Clippers had a record of 57 wins and 25 losses, which is comparable to the first in the Eastern Conference, but they can only be ranked fifth in the Western Conference, which is as sad as the Celtics.
Sometimes the west is strong and the east is weak, which means that the overall record of the west does not necessarily have an advantage over the east.
Since there are three teams in the Western Conference that have won 60+ games this year, and more than five-eighths of the games played by the teams in the division are against teams in the same division. , It is disastrous for most teams in the same division.
Starting with the Clippers, the record in the West has declined like a cliff.
排在西部第六的球队是48胜34负的灰熊，第七的是44胜38负的开拓者，第八的是41胜41负的小牛。
The ninth is the Jazz with 39 wins and 43 losses, and the tenth is the Rockets with 37 wins and 45 losses...
The teams that made it to the playoffs are naturally mostly happy. Although some teams are not satisfied with the rankings, at least there is no need to continue to worry and worry about the rankings. Everything has been settled.
The teams that did not make the playoffs also had their own joys and frustrations.
Teams like the Jazz and the Bulls who have struggled for a whole season and fell outside the playoffs at the end of the season are naturally close to a collapse of faith. Miserable, just like the Rockets who won the lottery for three consecutive years, a veteran like Battier who has held on for three years couldn't help running away to hug his thigh.
According to the rumors after the season, Jimmy Butler, who has just signed a new contract and played for one year, already has the intention to leave the Bulls.
Derrick Rose, Joakim Noah, the youngest regular season MVP before Liu Ren, and the center who was the league's double team plus the best defensive player two years ago, became Jimmy Butler's team in the Bulls. biggest hindrance.
Before Rose was injured and Noah was put on the bench, the Bulls experienced a nightmare time. After both of them couldn't play, the Bulls became strong instead. This was what Jimmy Butler was most upset about.
And Rose’s contract is long enough. He signed the contract in November 2010, that is, before the signing of the new labor agreement in 11. At the beginning, it was 2011 million in 6 years. Later, after the new labor agreement came out, the Rose clause was triggered, and it rose to 9500 million in 6 years, player option for the 1.18-2017 season.
Jimmy Butler is not young anymore, compared to the players who entered the NBA at the same time, he is not young. He is 27 years old and has no time to wait for Rose's contract to expire.
Noah's overall is okay. The center averaged 7 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists per game. The last year of the previous 6-year contract of 8000 million yuan is left. The transaction is also easy.
But the possibility of Rose's recovery is really unlikely. A knee injury is really devastating for a point guard who plays at explosive speed.
When the news came out, Liu Ren, who was preparing for the playoffs, felt very sad, and decided to train his basic skills harder in the summer.
What is the worst thing about Rose is that his basic skills are really poor. Except for breakthroughs with the ball, other aspects are simply disasters. He has no shooting and no good organizational skills. After the finishing ability at the basket declines, no one else can double-team him to prevent him from hitting the iron all the time. Naturally, there is no way to send assists. After the explosive power of outside players is lost, no shooting means no off-ball ability.
Not only that, Rose's biggest problem now is that he is too confident and conceited. As the youngest MVP ever, even if he was reimbursed for four consecutive years, he still plays with the mentality of being a superstar. The superstar who led them out of the 10-year quagmire after Jordan's retirement has the mentality of perpetual tolerance and waiting. This is the key reason why Jimmy Butler desperately wants to escape Rose.
People are used to Hayward’s request for a trade being rejected by the management as reported by the Jazz. It happened once in the off-season last season, and it happened again before the mid-season trade deadline this year. Now it’s happening again. No wonder.
……
The teams that hit the playoffs include the Mavericks, Trail Blazers, 76ers, and Hornets, and there are Pacers who are reluctant to enter the playoffs, because they played the Cavaliers in the first round... and did not enter the playoffs What's the difference in the game? It's better to go to the draft lottery. If you are as lucky as the Rockets in 2002, you can get the No. [-] lottery.
There are also Bulls and Jazz who are about to collapse in spirit, and the leading stars all make a fuss and leave.
And there are joys and frustrations for a bad team.
The Bucks, Nets, and Suns ranked first to third from the bottom. The Bucks originally belonged to Antetokounmpo who was robbed by the Lakers. In exchange for Kumbo, the Nets are paying for the trade to Pierce and Garnett that year, and the Suns chose the wrong point guard to stay. If Isaiah Thomas or Dragic are left Any one of them, the Suns may still be one of the playoff contenders. As a result, the three top point guards chose the weakest Bledsoe. The key point is that this guy will be reimbursed for the season.
Speaking of these three teams, except for the Nets who do not have their own draft picks, the other two teams are actually focusing on the two major point guards of the Lakers, LaVine and Antetokounmpo. The focus is on Antetokounmpo. If Kumbaugh is lucky enough to get the No. [-] pick, according to the inside story from the source, their first choice is to trade with the Lakers.
The No. 70.00 lottery basically belongs to these three teams, and the combined probability of the three teams winning the No. [-] lottery exceeds [-]%.
Of course, there is a chance of being upset, but the possibility of being upset with the No. [-] pick is very small. Basically, it is the upset between the teams with the bottom three winning percentages. The chances of other teams being upset are even higher. The chance of an upset at the second pick is not high, because the lottery is for the top three picks.
The Bucks and the Suns are naturally very happy to be successful, but the Nets are crying. Even if they get the No. 2018 pick, they still belong to the Celtics. The opportunity to exchange draft picks, and the Celtics have risen, the draft picks exchanged for them may not enter the lottery, even the top 20 picks in the end...
There are also teams like the Magic and the Timberwolves that can't be rotten. There is no way that the talent is too good. Although they can't play well, it is impossible to be rotten to the end.
There are also teams like the Nuggets and Pelicans who don't want to be bad but are inexplicably bad. It's embarrassing to have a record in the bottom 10.
……
The regular season is over, everything has settled, and the data kings have come out.
The Lakers have an extra group of frustrated men.
Liu Ren watched the news that Curry, who averaged 32.4 points per game, won the scoring trophy. The collar of his T-shirt was already biting off. He averaged 22 points, 8 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game this year. A career-high 62 assists, but the scoring champion is gone.
Whiteside watched the news that Drummond won the rebounding title and used himself to tyrannize Drummond in the 2K16 game. He averaged 14 rebounds per game, and Drummond averaged 14.5 rebounds per game. In fact, this is not the same as his Playing time is 10 minutes less than Drummond, and the relationship is not small. He played 71 times this season and averaged only 29 minutes per game. His rebounding efficiency is far behind the rest of the league. cut.
However, Whiteside's playing time is already the second highest on the Lakers. He can't complain, he can only vent in the game.
The assist king naturally belongs to Rondo, who can win the assist king as long as the team gives him the ball. Although the Bucks rank last in the league, Rondo's assists are still explosive, with an average of 12.4 assists per game. Er is more than 1 higher, and there is no suspense about the assist king.
The steals king belongs to Isaiah Thomas of the 76ers. Perhaps Philadelphia's answer is the reason for the steals king. Isaiah Thomas won the assists king for the first time this year.
Block king, the Lakers finally have a data king, Whiteside defended the block king, 4.1 blocks, he is like the contemporary Olajuwon and Mutombo, far away from others, Anthony Davis, who ranks second, averaged only 2.7 blocks per game.
Turnover king... This embarrassing statistic was obtained by Harden, who was very embarrassed this year. He averaged 4.6 turnovers per game, which almost equaled the embarrassing record of the historical turnover king held by Iverson and Barkley.
But what can be done? There is a god-like opponent who helps him send two turnovers almost every game. Harden often jumps inside and passes to Howard. As a result, Howard turns around to grab the rebound. This picture Lakers fans I used to appreciate...
The three-point king, this has been named by Curry. This year, Curry made 408 three-pointers and averaged 80 three-pointers per game in 5.1 appearances. The second Klay Thompson has more than 100. Klay Thompson averaged 3.5 three-pointers per game and scored 287 three-pointers throughout the season. In any year before the Splash Brothers were born, they were the three-pointers. Ray- Allen and Reggie Miller, the two previous strongest three-pointers, have not reached the performance of Klay Thompson this year at the peak of their careers.
But who made Klay Thompson have a teammate with a three-point ability beyond the first gear in the entire NBA history? He can only be the second in history.
Curry and Thompson are not the kings of the league in three-point shooting. There is no way that Curry averaged 12 three-pointers per game, and Thompson averaged 8.2 three-pointers per game. Lost a lot.
Curry's three-point shooting percentage is only ranked fifth, Thompson is only eighth, and Korver, who has occupied this ranking for N years, is still the second stat king of the Lakers, but there is no trophy. Although Wall has declined, it is mainly due to his age. He is still so stable. His 40.00% seven-point shooting percentage is still the unshakable number one, and he has maintained the number one for several years in a row.
The king of field goal percentage once again belongs to Jordan of the Clippers. The shooting percentage of 70.00% is also intoxicating. People say that if Howard is willing to play according to Jordan’s style of play, he will definitely not be worse than Jordan, but Howard couldn't save that face.
And Jordan doesn't care about his face, unless it is a direct dunk or an alley-oop, he will never shoot. The shooting percentage is more than 20 percentage points higher than the free throw percentage... What a big deal!
