The Lakers' final record of 52 wins and 30 losses was probably something no one expected. With this record, the Lakers can rank third in the Western Conference record list, second only to the Rockets and Warriors.
At the same time, the chaotic situation in the Western Conference was completely finalized with the end of the regular season.
The Portland Trail Blazers are fourth in the Western Conference with a record of 49 wins and 33 losses.
Ranked fifth is the Utah Jazz with 48 wins and 34 losses, sixth is the Oklahoma City Thunder with the same record but a slightly worse relationship between wins and losses, seventh is the New Orleans Pelicans with 47 wins and 35 losses, and No.
Eighth is the Minnesota Timberwolves, who also have 47 wins.
The teams outside the eight places that have already missed the playoffs and were eliminated include the ninth-place San Antonio Spurs, who also had 47 wins, and the Denver Nuggets, who had 46 wins.
In this regular season, the ranking of the Western Conference is really tight. The Lakers ranked third and the Timberwolves ranked eighth are only 5 games apart. Even if they lose a few more games in the regular season, maybe the Western Conference
The rankings will undergo earth-shaking changes.
Generally speaking, the Western Conference is divided into two echelons. The Rockets and Warriors are considered the first echelon. Not only do their records lead all the teams in the Western Conference, but even looking at the entire league, only the Eastern Conference tops Menglong can tie with them with 57 wins.
echelon.
The remaining Western Conference playoff teams, including the Lakers, are considered the second tier of the Western Conference. Their records are quite similar, and it is difficult to determine the outcome of each other entering the playoffs.
The most intuitive and typical example is that the Lakers, ranked third in the Western Conference, will face the Oklahoma City Thunder, ranked sixth in the Western Conference. In this game, it is difficult to judge who has the advantage.
Judging from the record, the Lakers won 4 more games than the Thunder in the regular season, so there is not much difference.
From the perspective of the team's lineup, the configuration of the Thunder's Big Three is obviously much better than that of the Lakers' Wang Feng's single-core team leader. Even if the performance of the Big Three this season is disappointing, there are still people who are optimistic about their future after entering the playoffs.
I won’t show off my skills and have certain expectations.
Therefore, more people support the Thunder to eliminate the Lakers.
The Trail Blazers, who are fourth in the Western Conference, and the Jazz, who are fifth in the Western Conference, are in the same situation. One of the two teams has 49 wins and the other has 48 wins. They are head-to-head with each other. Their records are close and their strengths are similar. It is even harder to distinguish between them.
On the other hand, there is no suspense in the first round of the playoffs between the Rockets and the Warriors. The Pelicans and Timberwolves are not much different from staying with the Lambs in front of these two teams. The Rockets and Warriors have even booked their seats in the Western Conference Finals in advance.
The suspense is which of the two teams can reach the finals.
…
The regular season record has been finalized, and the king of various statistics has also been determined.
Wang Feng won the scoring crown with an absolute advantage.
In the 82 games of the regular season, Wang Feng maintained full attendance, averaging 35 minutes per game, taking 24.8 shots, hitting 13 goals, and shooting 52.4% from the field, including 5 of 11 three-pointers and a three-point shooting rate of 45.4%, which was almost the same as that of Wang Feng.
Curry was close to his peak in the 15-16 season, averaging 6.6 free throws and 5.3 free throws per game, with a shooting percentage of 80%, and the final average of 36.3 points per game!
The 36.3 points per game average is the league's highest season scoring average since Jordan's 37.1 points in the 1986-87 season, surpassing Kobe's 35.4 points per game at his peak in the 05-06 season!
What's even more exaggerated is that Jordan in the 1987 season and Kobe in the 2006 season both averaged more than 27 shots per game, but Wang Feng only took less than 25 shots to reach this figure, with a higher efficiency value!
"Facts have proved that Wang Feng's decision to leave the Cavaliers and join a team with him as the core is completely correct!"
"His scoring ability is at a historical level. Not only does he have the super breakthrough ability of a first-class defender, he is no less capable of three-point long-range shooting than Curry Thompson, and his mid-to-long range lethality is comparable to that of Durant and DeRozan.
Wait for the mid-range shooting players to compete! Looking at his technical characteristics, in addition to the skill of holding the ball in the low post, he is almost at the offensive kaleidoscope level, and with his proficient skills in all, he does not need to play in the low post.
It’s a slow-paced and old-fashioned move.”
"Only in a team like the Lakers that can give him unlimited firing rights, can Wang Feng's talents on the offensive end be fully utilized. He has also proved with his performance that he is fully capable of building a team.
Cultivate the core!”
"The Lakers have their new Kobe Bryant, and their record this season is unexpectedly good. They have completed their tasks ahead of schedule this season. It would be great if they can go further in the playoffs, even if
If you can't do it, that's okay. This summer, Brook Lopez's $22 million contract will expire. By then, the Lakers will have huge salary space to support them in signing another star to strengthen the lineup.
Make no mistake about it! The future of this team is bright!”
All major media in the United States have praised Wang Feng to the sky.
There is no way, Wang Feng's data performance is really shocking.
And his performance is not only reflected in scoring.
After strengthening his defensive rebounding to 86, Wang Feng became the player with the highest rebounding value in the Lakers. He averaged 10.7 rebounds per game and tied for the league's rebounding list with Nikola Lajokic of the Denver Nuggets.
Nine.
Although Wang Feng averaged 10.7 rebounds per game, all of them were defensive rebounds, and offensive rebounds were about zero. Although you can also see Lakers players deliberately grabbing rebounds for Wang Feng on the court, which is exactly the same as Westbrook of the Thunder, but after all, the frequency
It's much less, so it's not that ugly. Coupled with the super high scoring average of 36.3 points per game, Wang Feng's data looks extremely gorgeous.
In addition, although Wang Feng's steal data this season has been slightly lower than the previous two seasons because he focused more on offensive scoring, with an average of only 2.6 per game, he still defends the league's steals title, which is also his third consecutive season.
Won the title of steals king this season.
I have to say that with a steal of 93 and a golden interceptor badge, the steal efficiency is really very high.
Averaged 36.3 points, 10.7 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.6 steals per game, coupled with the Lakers' 52 wins in the regular season, Wang Feng's voice for the regular season MVP award has greatly increased, completely overshadowing Wang Feng, who averaged 30+5+8 per game.
James Harden.
Personal statistics are inferior to Wang Feng. Although Harden's Rockets have a better team record than Wang Feng's Lakers, Wang Feng, who led the Lakers to 52 wins with a single core, is not much inferior in comparison, especially
It was the penultimate game of the regular season. In the direct confrontation between the two teams, Wang Feng suppressed Harden for the whole game and led his team to defeat the Rockets, which was a big bonus.
