—————————————————————————————————————————————

Compared to the records of the highly concentrated teams in the East, the record rankings in the West are as close and intense as ever.

Except for the Lakers, who are far ahead with 65 wins and 17 losses, the records of the other teams are very close.

In second place in the Western Conference are the San Antonio Spurs with 54 wins and 28 losses in the regular season, followed by the Portland Trail Blazers with 52 wins, the Houston Rockets with 52 wins, the Denver Nuggets with 51 wins, and the Denver Nuggets with 50 wins. Dallas Mavericks, New Orleans Hornets 48 wins, and Phoenix Suns 48 wins.

Among the eight teams that have made it to the playoffs, only the Hornets and the Suns have not reached 50 wins. Even the Utah Jazz, ninth in the Western Conference, has a record of 46 wins and could rank fifth in the Eastern Conference.

Wang Chong and the Bulls dominate the Eastern Conference, which has little impact on the record of the Western Conference. After all, teams from the East and the West will only face each other twice at most each season. It will not affect the long regular season of 82 games. The schedule is also insignificant.

As a result, the first-round matchups between the Eastern and Western playoffs have been determined.

The four games in the first round of the Eastern Conference are Bulls vs Pistons, Cavaliers vs 76ers, Magic vs Heat, and Celtics vs Hawks.

The four groups of games in the Western Conference are Lakers vs Suns, Spurs vs Hornets, Trail Blazers vs Mavericks, and Rockets vs Nuggets.

Outside the stadium, everyone is paying attention to the final statistics of the regular season.

In terms of scoring, Wang Chong worked hard in the second half, and his average points per game finally increased to 30.8 points. Although this has been Wang Chong's lowest-scoring season in recent years, he still managed to win the league's scoring title. This is also Wang Chong's scoring average. He won the league's scoring title for the fourth time in his career and the fourth consecutive time.

With four scoring titles, Wang Chong ranks third in NBA history, tied with Allen Iverson, who also has four scoring titles, and only behind the basketball emperor Wilt Chamberlain, who has seven scoring titles, and the basketball god Michael Jordan, who has ten titles.

Everyone knows that Wang Chong's average points per game has been decreasing year after year. It's not that his personal scoring ability has decreased compared to the past two years. On the contrary, Wang Chong's strength is visibly stronger than in the previous two years. Therefore, he invested more free time in other aspects of the game, such as the defensive side. At the same time, other players on the Bulls emerged, which also exerted some pressure on Wang Chong's offensive side.

In fact, as long as he wants to, it would not be difficult for him to reproduce the 35.6 points per game from the 2005-06 season, but it is not necessary.

Wade ranked second with 30.2 points, and it was a pity that he lost the opportunity to win the scoring title.

Originally, the scoring champion in the 2008-09 season was supposed to be Wade. The Flash relied on the honor of three championships in his career, an FMVP, and a scoring champion to surpass shooting guards like Iverson and Harden and secure his position as the third-ranking quarterback in history.

But just like the tragedy of stars in the same era as Jordan, the stars of the same era as Wang Chong have also been suppressed to varying degrees due to the dazzling Wang Chong.

Wade was quite good among them. At least before Wang Chong's complete rise, he still won the championship in the 2005-06 season, had an FMVP, and had an outstanding career performance.

Look at other contemporaries of Wang Chong.

James has not yet received personal honors. This season should have been the period when he won the first MVP trophy of his career; however, facing Wang Chong, who led his team to a record of 73 wins and 9 losses, even those in the U.S. who support James cannot shamelessly say that James has the chance to compete with Wang Chong for the regular season MVP.

This is a completely different concept from last year, when Kobe beat Wang Chong for the MVP.

Last season, the Lakers and the Bulls were tied in terms of record. However, the Bulls, who had a stronger Big Three setup and won the MVP Garnett in their first year, had a worse record than the previous season. Wang Chong's deduction of points is a bit ridiculous, but from the perspective of neutral fans, it is still justifiable.

But this season is different. Wang Chong has already led his team to break the historic record. What excuse can there be for not giving the MVP to Wang Chong?

If, under such circumstances, there is an insistence on operating behind the scenes and giving the MVP to James, the credibility of the league will be lost.

To put it bluntly, while the league officials are being jerks, they also want to build a monument. Although the NBA is a business league, in the final analysis, it is still a sports league. If performance and records are not key, how many fans will still watch the game in the future?

So no matter how dissatisfied one may be, the regular season MVP this year must be Wang Chong.

Under Wang Chong's influence, James was not the only one to have honors stolen from him.

Thanks to Wang Chong, Kobe still does not have a scoring champion. As the league's known leading scorer, Kobe lacks credentials.

The only regular-season MVP trophy of Nowitzki's career was also stolen by Wang Chong, who performed stronger and more brilliantly.

What's even more desperate is that Wang Chong is now only 24 years old. His career is still very long. His peak period will last at least 8 to 10 years. During this period, he will monopolize most of the honors and achievements. He will win the most personal honors in the next ten years. Yes, it is James who has won 4 regular-season MVPs, so the one who suffers the most is the unfortunate me, James.

Closer to home, it's a pity that Wade missed out on the scoring title, but there's nothing that can be done about it. Wade was quite strong in his prime, with full strength on both offense and defense, but still, he cannot compete with Wang Chong on the offensive side. Wang Chong competes, and with Wade's character, he does not care much about personal honors, if possible, he is willing to use stats in exchange for the team's victory.

But the Heat's lineup during this period was a mess. It was already very difficult for Wade to drag the team to the playoffs, and he had no extra energy.

Wang Chong and Wade, two players with more than 30 points, are the top two in the scoring list, and the third is the unfortunate James.

James averaged 28 points, 7 rebounds, and 8 assists per game in the regular season this season. Although his scoring decreased slightly compared to last season, the main reason was that the Cavaliers' Big Three, along with Mo. Williams and other three people participated in the ball, judging from the Cavaliers' increase to over 60 wins, some of the sacrifices James made clearly outweighed the disadvantages, and his selling point is his versatility. With 8 assists per game, he ranks among the top ten in assists. This season, only three players can rank in the top ten in both scoring and assists. These players are Wade, Chris Paul, and James.

As for Kobe, known as the strongest shooting guard after Jordan, he only averaged 26.1 points per game this season, ranking fourth in the league, although everyone knows that Kobe's scoring average has dropped mainly because he shared the ball with other players, including Dajia. It is thanks to players like Sol, Artest, Bynum, etc., but no matter what, this is in fact Kobe's lowest scoring list in recent years.

If the Lakers still fail to win the championship this year, it will undoubtedly be a very failed season for Kobe. However, facing the Bulls, who achieved an exaggerated 73 wins and 9 losses in the regular season, can the Lakers win the championship? Except for Lakers fans, I'm afraid no one believes it's possible.

The situation in the assist rankings is similar to that in the scoring list. Chris Paul and Deron Williams, two of the best point guards of their class, have become the only two players in the league to average double-digit assists per game. He averaged 11 assists per game, and the difference from other 10.7 is insignificant, but Howard dominates the rebound list, with an average of 13.8 rebounds per game, leaving other competitors far behind.

It must be said that the Magic's star-and-four-shoot system is very suitable for Howard's technical characteristics. If the Magic used Howard like O'Neal or Yao Ming, they might not have achieved such good results.

——On

April 18, 2009, the opening game of the first round of the 2008-09 playoffs began.

The Bulls sit at home and face the challenge of the Detroit Pistons.

Once the strongest team in the Eastern Conference, but now in decline.

Although Monta Ellis, who originally fired the Bulls' main point guard Billups, has averaged 24 points, 4 rebounds, and 5 assists per game this season and has become the team's absolute top scorer, the typical offense is strong, and defense is weak. Ellis' weaknesses on the court are obvious, and his offense is mainly based on individual ball-handling. His playing style is outside the team, which is essentially incompatible with the Pistons, who focus on team basketball.

The reason why the Pistons made it to the playoffs this season is not because the team is strong, but simply because the overall strength of the Eastern Conference is too weak, and it's just a matter of choosing one big among the shorts.

Against the Bulls, who achieved 73 wins in the regular season, no one thought the Pistons had a chance to win, and they would even be happy if they weren't swept 4-0 in the series.

And indeed, that's the case.

In the first game between the two teams, the Bulls achieved a huge victory with a score of 106-84.

Facing the Bulls, who dominate both offense and defense, the Pistons couldn't resist.

Star Ellis hit 7 of 21 field goals. Although he scored 20 points and 4 assists, his shooting percentage was only 33.3%.

Garnett's favorite is Ellis, a small and agile defender who likes to use speed to break through. In contrast, it is Wade and James, a powerful player who can break through with the ball and has great destructive power. dealing with it.

Whenever Ellis uses his speed advantage to break through Billups and run toward the penalty area, he has to face Garnett's defense and last season's best defensive player, DPOY.

As for the other main players of the Pistons, the mid-range shooting king Hamilton, the roaring king Rasheed Wallace, and Tayshaun Prince, one of Wang Chong's former enemies, could not perform brilliantly under the oppressive defense of the Bulls.

After getting their first victory, the Bulls continued to win the next three games without any suspense. They swept the Pistons with a total score of 4-0 and entered the second round. They became the only team to sweep their opponent in the first round.

The Bulls' second-round opponent was the Celtics, who defeated the Hawks 4-3.

The other matchup in the Eastern Conference is the one Wang Chong predicted. It's a showdown between the two strong teams, the Cavaliers and the Magic.

The Celtics are a bit stronger than the Pistons. After all, Durant and Pierce are the league's top scorers, and there is also a high-quality center in the interior, Al Jefferson, whose overall strength is impressive. They still cannot pose a threat to the Bulls.

The second-round series between the two teams has not yet started. External media generally predict that the score between the two teams will likely be 4-0 or 4-1. The Celtics will get at most one win when facing the Bulls.

Before the start of the second-round games, the league announced the season's results as in previous years.

Compared to last year, this year's best first team only has one change in the five players. Chris Paul was replaced by Wade. The five players in the first team are Wade, Kobe, Wang Chong, James, and Howard.

After all, Wade averaged 30 + 5 + 7 in the regular season. Although the Heat's record is not as good as the Bulls' and Cavaliers', Wade's performance in the regular season and his influence on the team could be said to be one of the top players in the NBA.

Paul, who was ousted from the first team, could only qualify for the best second team along with Brandon Roy, Dirk Nowitzki, Tim Duncan and Dayao.

The final five players on the best third team are Tony Parker, Chauncey Billups, Pau Gasol, Kevin Garnett and Shaquille O'Neal.

The selection of the best third team remains quite controversial, because many players who performed well were excluded from the best team, which greatly angered their respective fans.

For example, Carmelo Anthony, who averaged 22.8 points and 6.8 rebounds per game, led the Nuggets to a record 51 wins. Another example is Kevin Durant, who averaged 25+6 and 20 points and 5 points per game for the Eastern Conference Celtics. Paul Pierce, who posted 4 rebounds and 4 assists, was not on the list, leaving diehard Celtics fans extremely unsatisfied.

But no way. There are a total of fifteen spots in the best lineup and the competition itself is quite high.

Especially among the five players on the best third team, Parker averaged 22 points and 6.9 assists per game, so it's reasonable to be selected.

The remaining four players may not be as good as Anthony, Durant and others in terms of statistics, but Garnett and Billups contribute to the Bulls' 73 wins, and Gasol also made significant contributions to the Lakers' 65 wins. The Cavaliers also won more than 60 games. At the same time, their 18+8 data is also outstanding among centers, second only to Howard and Dayao.

It would be inappropriate to eliminate any of these four from the best lineup, so although there was much controversy, the final selection result was decided this way.

Compared to the best team, the two-team selection of the best defensive team is not as controversial.

The five players selected for the first defensive team are Paul, Kobe, Wang Chong, Garnett and Howard.

The five players for the defensive second team are Rondo, Wade, Artest, James and Duncan.

As a forward player, Wang Chong was able to push Artest and James, two best defensive forward players, out of the first line, not because his defense was really better than these two, but mainly because of the team's record bonus and the outside. The world's impression of him increases.

As a player who used to be strong on offense and weak on defense, Wang Chong's contribution on the defensive side in the past two seasons is obvious to everyone, and it is not surprising that he can get some additional impact points.

This is the same reason why Kobe is still the best first defense. Whether it's the actual defensive effect of the matchup or the value of the defensive contribution in high-level data, Wade is obviously better than Kobe, and more than a little bit.

Including DOPY's ranking as the best defensive player, Wade is also higher than Kobe. Wang Chong recalls that in the final results of the original 2008-09 best defensive player voting, Wade ranked third with the highest vote rate to Kobe.

But as a shooting guard, Kobe was selected to the All-Defensive First Team and Wade could only qualify for the Second Team.

Of course, Wang Chong's selection as the best first defender is not as extreme as Kobe's, but the situation is relatively similar.

At least compared to Artest and James in defensive statistics, he is the only one among the three who enters the best first defense.
