Chapter 1389 The 2019~2020 season ends
"I used to endorse Master Kong, and there are a bunch of instant instant noodles at home. If you are interested, you can come to my house as a guest."
Tang Tian said with a smile.
Ariza laughed after hearing this.
They seemed to go back to when they first met 6 years ago.
Holiday also came here at this time, and Davis not far away.
If you don't look at their clothes carefully, you will really think it was 6 years ago.
After signing Ariza, the Pelicans' playoff lineup has also officially taken shape.
Point Guard: Brogden, Alexander, Trey Burke
Points: Holiday, Ding Yanyuhang, Kelden Johnson
Xiaoqian: Durant, Ariza, Carter
Big Former: Davis, Kuzma, Decker
Center: Gasol Jr., Mitchell Robinson, Gasol G.
This lineup is enough for them to score better results in the second half and enough to challenge any opponent in the playoffs.
The Pelicans had a game on the night Ariza came to the team and played against the Celtics at home.
The Celtics replaced the Raptors' position in the East, and this game can be expected to be a fierce battle.
This is indeed the case.
Tatum was in a state of great shape at the beginning. Both the Pelicans were not ashamed of Holiday and Davis, and the two teams were in a stalemate at the opening stage.
Seeing that Stevens couldn't get the score, he replaced Brogdon with Ariza as the first substitution.
In his first game when he returned to the Pelicans, he was entrusted with an important task and sent to block the gun hole.
It turns out that Ariza is indeed good at doing this.
Tatum was not inferior to his weight and had a longer wingspan than him, and his playing was obviously not as comfortable as the start.
Ariza can still start the playoffs teams such as the Kings and the Trail Blazers at the age of 35, which is the best proof.
Tatum became more efficient, and the Celtics' offensive momentum also followed.
But the Pelicans Durant and Davis bloomed inside and outside, and the offensive remained undiminished, and the score difference was quickly widened.
Small characters also have great functions, and Ariza fully reflects this.
Stevens also trusted Ariza very much, giving him a full 25 minutes of playing time in the first game.
Although he didn't play for a while, Ariza and Tatum limited the latter to 5 of 15 shots during the matchup, completing the task excellently.
And like Holiday, because he was a former player under Stevens, the process of running-in was spared.
The Pelicans also finally won the game 109-93.
This game gave Pelicans fans great confidence, and the Pelicans' morale was greatly boosted.
This has also become a microcosm of the Pelicans' second half of the season. After the lineup was fully supplemented, they showed very strong competitiveness.
After a fierce battle, the regular season of the 2019-2020 season finally ended.
east.
The Bucks showed a stronger dominance than last season, with a record of 67 wins and 15 losses.
This record is two more games than last season's 65 wins, and it once again set a new team record.
Antetokounmpo has played the most glorious season in his career so far.
Average of 30.7 points, 11.2 rebounds, 7.2 assists, 2.1 blocks and 1.7 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of 52%, and even more rare is a three-point shooting percentage of 36%!
He has officially taken over James' title of King of the East and became another dark cloud over the heads of the Eastern Conference team.
The Celtics ranked second with 55 wins.
Walker, Tatum and Griffin are strong.
Especially Tatum, this Tanhua Show, which was highly anticipated, finally showed its strength, averaging 22.8 points and 6.5 rebounds per game, becoming one of the top small forwards in the East.
The Pacers ranked third with 53 wins.
Bogdanovic was sent out to revive Sabonis, and getting Claude further strengthened their defensive ability on the wing.
Plus the cornerstone of Ball and Oladipo, the double-gun in the backcourt, as well as high-quality inside players like Turner.
The Pacers can quickly replace the Raptors after their decline, and their lineup matching is crucial.
The Raptors, Pistons, Nets, Magic, and Bulls ranked 4th to 8th.
There is good news and bad news for Chinese fans.
The bad news is that after the World Cup last year, Yi Jianlian missed many games due to injury at the beginning of the season, and the Nets' record was also affected.
The good news is that Yi Jianlian's condition has remained very good after his comeback, and the Nets finally returned to the playoffs.
The first round matchup in the East was also released.
The Bucks play the Bulls, the Celtics play the Magic, the Pacers vs. Nets, and the Raptors vs. Pistons.
If nothing unexpected happens, the Eastern Conference will be a battle between the Bucks and the Celtics in the end, and the Bucks will likely continue to reach the finals.
This side of the west.
This year, the west is really full of smoke. If it is a real war, it will be bloody at this time.
The Spurs ranked first with a record of 62 wins and 20 losses.
The Spurs' record has declined, but the fundamental reason is not that their strength has become weaker, but that their opponents have become stronger. The 12-to-8 scenario is not available every year.
If you often stand by the river, you can’t do it without wet shoes. It is naturally difficult to win high.
The Pelicans ranked second in the West with 56 wins and 26 losses.
Durant played the most glorious season of his career, averaging 30.8 points, 7.1 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game, 52% shooting percentage and 41% three-point shooting percentage.
He had the highest performance at the age of 31. Perhaps anyone, including Durant himself, could not have imagined.
But sometimes things are so magical.
In addition to Durant, Davis' performance is also very stable, averaging 25.6 points, 12.5 rebounds, 3.1 blocks and 2.1 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of up to 55%.
The two of them, one inside and one outside, made up for the vacancies after Tang Tian retired.
The Lakers ranked third with 55 wins and 27 losses.
They were overtaken by the Pelicans at the last minute.
This performance is not bad, but it does make Humi and Zhan Mi feel a little uncomfortable because they lose their home advantage in the semi-finals.
The Mavericks ranked fourth with a record of 50 wins and 32 losses.
Siakam performed well with the Mavericks, and the Mavericks were also stable in the upper half.
For the Pelicans and the Mavericks, the deal on the trade deadline now seems to be a win-win result.
The 5 to 8 are the Clippers, Kings, Rockets, and Warriors.
It is worth noting that the Rockets suffered a wave of injuries in the second half of the season, which made their ranking fall to seventh.
As the ranking is determined, the first round matchup of the West is also determined.
The Spurs play the Warriors, the Pelicans play the Rockets, the Lakers play against the Kings, and the Mavericks play against the Clippers.
Such a matchup is obviously not good news for the Pelicans.
The Rockets fell to this position due to injury, and their strength in the second half is not much weaker than the Clippers.
In other words, he shouldn't be in the seventh, but at least the fifth.
However, after this matchup, domestic fans were extremely excited.
The reason for excitement is naturally the previous Morey incident.
Although Morey has been forced to resign, his whereabouts are still unknown.
