Chapter five hundred and eighteen 2013~2014 regular season rankings
The West is superb, and the 50-win season ranked eighth in the West is not without it.
But this is the first time in NBA history with 9 teams.
Because the 9th team won 50 wins, they finally missed the playoffs...
The Spurs ranked first in the Western Conference with a record of 60 wins.
Tang Tian's departure made their record decline, but Popovich's outstanding coaching still allowed the team to stop the bleeding in time, and he won the league first for the third consecutive year.
It is worth mentioning that they are also the only team to win 60 this season.
The Thunder ranked second in the West with 58 wins, and they had a chance to hit the Spurs first, but Westbrook's injury changed all of that.
The Clippers ranked third in the West with a record of 57 wins. Although the record is not much different from last year, Rivers' arrival has completely changed the team's defense, and their strength in the playoffs cannot be underestimated.
The Lakers followed closely with a record of 56. They could have risen to third with their matchup records, but in the end they could only finish fourth.
The Warriors followed the Lakers with 54 wins. Mark Jackson patiently trained the team for three years, and finally came the time to achieve the results.
The Pelicans' record was finally frozen at 52 wins, and their record was 25 games higher than last season.
The arrival of Tang Tian and Holiday has made the improvement to this team obvious.
With this improvement in the record, Pelicans head coach Monty Williams also has the opportunity to compete for the best head coach honor this year.
The Grizzlies and Rockets both have 51 wins, but the Grizzlies lead 3-1 in the record of the match between the two teams, so they occupy the seventh place in the West.
The Rockets can only rank eighth.
However, in the West where competition is so fierce, Harden's personal strength can still get rid of Kardashian's tight defense and single-core team to lead the team into the playoffs.
The Blazers ranked ninth were the Trail Blazers. Aldridge missed nearly two months due to injury. They finally won 50 wins and were unfortunately eliminated.
In addition to these teams, another team in the Western Conference that has not entered the playoffs is also worth paying attention to.
The Mavericks had a good record at the beginning of the season, but Nowitzki suffered a season reimbursement, and then they entered the bad mode and finally ranked second to last in the West with 27 wins.
In addition to the Mavericks, the Spurs, Pelicans, Grizzlies and Rockets in the Southwest Division all entered the playoffs, which can be called the Death Division.
The record of the East and West is finally confirmed, and the playoffs are also released.
In the East, the Heat played against the Hawks in the first round, the Pacers faced the Hornets, the Bulls and the Wizards fought, and the Raptors and the Nets competed for the last promotion place.
In the West, the Spurs and the Rockets face each other, which is also the second consecutive season between the two teams in the first round;
The same is true for Thunder and Grizzlies. Last year, Thunder was blacked out of seven and will inevitably take revenge this year;
The Clippers will face the challenge of the Pelicans, Griffin's provocation, and Barnes will destroy Tang Tian. The two teams will have many grudges in the regular season, and the first round of this round will be very interesting.
The Lakers will play against the rising Warriors, and Kobe will face the Warriors' double guns from the outside, which is also very interesting.
After the match was released, ESPN instantly gave the match prediction and analysis of the popular teams who won the championship.
The Heat are still the most favored team and the only one.
The Spurs, Thunder and Pacers followed closely behind.
The Clippers, Lakers and Bulls are the third teams.
The teams predicted to be eliminated in the first round are basically in the second half of the zone. They believe that it is unlikely that the black seven and black six will appear like the whole year in the playoffs this year.
This includes the Pelicans who faced the Clippers.
"Their performance this season is commendable, but their experience and overall strength will make them eliminated in the first round. Tang Tian will be unlimitedly double-teamed in the playoffs. They will have a good future, but they do not have the present."
This is ESPN's playoffs preview against the Pelicans.
The regular season ends and the first round of the playoffs will begin in two days.
The Pelicans will start the second game day, which means there are still three days left before the game starts.
Williams arranged team training on the last day, and before that, he gave the players two days off.
The team members seized the time to adjust their bodies and states, such as Holiday and Davis, who were not trained and were also in the training hall.
However, Tang Tian was not with them.
It's not that he trains to be lazy.
But because there is a very important occasion, he must go.
Kangda's season continued Tang Tian and Walker's original dark horse character this season, and it won all the way to the NCAA finals.
Their younger brother Napier performed well and became an NCAA superstar.
Porter Wright and Niels Giffy, who were training with them in the training camp, also became important core players of the team.
So it’s hard to tell whether they have such strength or whether they have the hard training of brothers’ training camp has helped them.
Kangda's final opponent was Kentucky led by brothers Julius Randle and Harrison.
The opponents are the same, but the result is not certain.
There have been more than one thing that changed history after Tang Tian traveled through time, so he would not miss such an important occasion.
Not only him, Walker, Lamb and Drummond all came to the scene.
Even Ray Allen, Okafor and Guy came to the scene, all of them came to the scene.
This year, the alumni support team on the sidelines of Kangda University are unprecedentedly strong.
Before the game started, they all went down to the court to say hello to Napier.
"Beat them, they have no experience."
Tang Tian and Napier hugged each other and said in a very relaxed tone.
He knew that all of them were encouraged and stressed for Napier, and such words were still very useful at this time.
Sure enough, Napier smiled and nodded after hearing this.
The words of the elder brother Tang Tian relaxed his mind a lot.
After saying hello to Napier, Tang Tian turned around and greeted head coach Oli, and then he found that Kahon was sitting in the second row.
When I saw Tang Tian again, the old man's face turned red and his emotions were a little excited.
Among so many graduates from Kangda University, Tang Tian’s performance has surpassed Lei Allen, and he deserves the title of Kangda University’s first in history.
Their master and apprentice's experience of winning the championship together was even more valuable.
Tang Tian smiled and hugged Kahon and chatted about gossip.
Kahon's life after retirement is relatively comfortable. This kind of old coach who has worked for more than 40 years is not short of money, and he is basically just enjoying family.
Tang Tian and Kahon chatted for a long time, and when the game was about to start, he wanted to return to Walker and found that he could no longer squeeze through.
Anyway, everyone watching the game was standing, so he simply stood beside Kahon and cheered for Kangda with his former mentor.
The game started soon, and Kentucky scored a 6-0 attack wave at the beginning, giving Kangda a warning.
During the stalemate, Napier showed his NCAA superstar character and scored two consecutive goals to help Kang Da stabilize the situation.
The emotions of fans on Kangda have also reached a peak.
Tang Tian and the rejuvenated Kahong shouted in unison to cheer for Kang Da.
He also experienced the difference between being a player and a spectator.
As a player, most of his attention was on the court, and at most he felt that the atmosphere was very warm.
But now as an audience, I feel the enthusiasm of more than 70,000 people on the scene, and it feels really uncontrollable.
The NCAA final is worthy of being the most watched basketball game in the world, which is really incomparable to the NBA Finals.
In addition to the Randall and Harrison brothers, Kentucky also has James Young, who are all NBA-level players.
But they were all too young, and Napier hit them, and he really felt like he was hitting his younger brother.
Especially Randall, the most promising power forward in the NCAA, was completely lost by Kangda's joint defense, and only scored 10 points in the game.
