And another thing happened on the scene.

During the game, there was a fierce quarrel between the Mavericks' core Jimmy Butler and head coach Carlisle.

This is no longer the kind of complaints that Butler and Tang Tian had when they were gathered during the All-Star Game, but there are really huge contradictions.

The Mavericks performed averagely after the game, and the conflict between the main player and the head coach was one of the reasons, which cast a huge shadow on their championship journey.

After the game against the Mavericks, the Pelicans played against the Lakers at home.

The Lakers have been sinking since Kobe retired, and even though he chose Simmons before, he has not changed this situation.

Tang Tian’s previous prediction was accurate. After Simmons arrived in Los Angeles, he kept rumoring to off-field scandals. He not only lingered in nightclubs, but also went to Griffin’s ex-girlfriend Kendall Jenner.

There are constant rumors on the off-court and his skills on the field have not improved. He still can't shoot at all, and he seems to have no idea of ​​practicing.

Originally, fans and the media were looking forward to him becoming the second James, but in the end he found how unrealistic that idea was.

Faced with such an opponent, the Pelicans didn't sweat much, leading by 20+ points in three quarters, and the game entered garbage time early.

Tang Tian checked in in the third quarter, contributing 22 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists.

His consecutive triple-double was interrupted because the Lakers were too weak.

The record of NBA's consecutive triple-double was also frozen in 11 games.

Fans were complaining about Tang Tian’s spoiling behavior before, but in the end they found that Tang Tian was really not fooling anyone.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to continue to have triple-double, but that the Lakers are really too weak...

Tang Tian's consecutive triple-double was cut off, but the fans' attention to the game did not drop.

Because it is already the end of the season.

In addition to the last fiercely competitive playoff spots in the East and West, what is more important is that the long-awaited playoffs fans are about to come.

Warriors, Pelicans, Cavaliers, Rockets, Mavericks, Spurs, Knicks...

The collision between these super teams has long made fans thirsty.

Half a month passed quickly in a blink of an eye, the door to the playoffs was about to open, and the competition for the playoffs has become fierce.

In the East, except for the Cavaliers, Knicks and Raptors, the remaining Hornets, Heat, Pacers, Pistons, Bucks, Hawks and Celtics won no more than one win, and any sort of ranking is possible in the end.

The situation in the West is similar, but the difference is that with those five super teams, there are only 3 places left in the playoffs.

The Trail Blazers, Clippers, Thunder, Jazz, Grizzlies, and Nuggets 6-3 in the last moment.

These teams had games in the last two days, and fans also watched it at the end of the season.

The style of playing at the beginning of the century and the fierce battle at the last moment reminded many old fans of Iverson and the 76ers in the 2005-2006 season.

Iverson averaged 33 points per game, losing to Kobe, missed the scoring champion, and the 76ers missed the playoffs at the last moment.

After two days of fighting, the rankings of the east and west were also released.

In the east, the Cavaliers won 60 wins and stood out.

Although he experienced a crushing defeat in the opening game, Whiteside lost weight afterwards, James and Irving were in better shape, and they were still the favorites to win the championship.

The Knicks followed with 53 wins.

Compared with the Cavaliers, the Knicks' performance has fluctuated significantly this season. The aging of Anthony and Howard once made them compete for the championship, but the deal that brought Wall to the trade deadline played a crucial role.

The Raptors ranked third with 51 wins.

Introducing Ibaka, plus the original trash brothers, DeRozan, although the Raptors have a slim chance of winning the championship, they are very strong in the East.

After the Raptors, the Eagles, Bucks, Hornets, Pacers and Heat rank 5th to 8th.

The record of these teams is all below 50 wins.

The atmosphere of the league group is getting stronger and stronger, with strong Western powers emerging, Eastern teams rarely win against Western teams, and the strong Western and weak Eastern teams almost reached the extreme.

It can be foreseen that if we continue to play in this pattern, there will be only a few super teams left in the league in the end.

In the West, the Pelicans' performance this season is not as eye-catching as last season, but they finally won 70 wins.

This is also the only 70-win team in the league.

Tang Tian ended his sixth year of NBA career.

He also played the most brilliant season in statistics.

He averaged 35.6 minutes per game in the season, averaged 32.1 points, 10.3 rebounds, 11.6 assists, 3.2 steals, 1.6 blocks and 3.3 turnovers, with a shooting percentage of 51.1%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 43.6%.

All scored, assists and steals per game ranked first in the league, and ranked fifth in the league in rebounds per game.

He won the scoring king, assist king, and steal king in one season!

Of course, more importantly, he became another player who averaged triple-double per game after Oscar Robertsont!

Last season, fans said that the Pelicans and Tang Tian had reached their peak.

But now it seems that it is just a peak, especially Tang Tian, ​​who can continue to break through himself and there will never be a limit.

After the Pelicans, the Warriors won 65 wins and ranked second in the West.

Although they experienced a downturn in the middle of the season, after the running-in, their strength is still among the best, and they are the only one in the league with the Pelicans.

The Spurs won 61 wins and ranked third in the league.

The Rockets and the Mavericks were in a fast momentum in the middle of the season, but in the end they found that Jiang was still so hot. Popovich quietly brought the team to the third place in the Western Conference.

The Rockets ranked fourth with 60 wins.

Harden, Paul and Cousins ​​all performed well under the new penalty standards.

Although they ended up being fourth in the Western Conference, the playoffs were a super big stage and they were still the favorites to win the championship.

The Mavericks ranked fifth in the Western Conference with a record of 55 wins.

They were ranked higher at the beginning of the season, but the contradiction between Butler and Carlisle became increasingly obvious, which became their biggest hidden danger.

Except for these five super teams, the remaining 6 to 8 players failed to win 50 wins.

The Trail Blazers ranked sixth with 45 wins.

The Clippers ranked seventh with 43 wins.

The Thunder and Jazz both had 41 wins in the final record, but the Thunder successfully ranked eighth with their match records.

It is worth mentioning that, like Tang Tian, ​​Westbrook finally succeeded in completing the season with a triple-double average.

Average of 31.5 points, 11.6 rebounds and 10.3 assists per game, a shooting percentage of 42.5%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 35.6%.

Although the data is a little worse than Tang Tian, ​​he also completed a triple-double average per game.

Even if it weren't for Tang Tian's existence, he would have entered the discussion of MVP.
Chapter completed!
