I am so Accurate

After 15 years, the regular season record was finally broken!

And this break raised the record by 2 games!

In fact, in the penultimate game at the end of the season, the Warriors narrowly defeated the Mavericks and had already broken the regular season record.

Their last opponent was the Knicks.

Perhaps because they felt that the record had been broken and the final victory or defeat was no longer so important, the Knicks' main players didn't play much.

This game became the only game of the Warriors season in which the main players did not play much.

This wave can also be regarded as: success from the biggest competitor!

The news that the Warriors won 74 games also caused great shock in the basketball circle.

"No, no team will break this record again. This is the greatest achievement in the history of basketball!"

Barkley wasn't bragging in the show, he was yelling.

This wave of the Warriors is enough for him to boast about for a year!

Major mainstream sports media such as ESPN, TNT, and NBA also used clear words like "74-8" to report this wave of achievements of the Warriors.

Not only these sports media, but many mainstream news media such as the New York Times also reported this incident.

Even U.S. President Oguan Hai retweeted the New York Times news on social media.

More than basketball, more than sports!

At home, the fans are even more crazy.

Because of Sun Hao, the Warriors have now surpassed the Lakers to become the most popular team in the country and the number one home team for Chinese fans.

Now that such a record has been set, one can imagine how excited the fans are.

Not only were there cheers in the forum, but a large number of fans organized gatherings to celebrate in many places, and some even flew planes to fly banners. The carnival scene was unprecedented.

It is said that Chinese people are relatively restrained and conservative, but that’s because it’s not time yet!

It would be crazy if something like the Warriors won 74 games came out!

Even the Warriors officials released a documentary called "Warriors 74-8" shortly after the end of the season.

The documentary is very shocking, allowing Warriors fans who have not yet retreated from their climax to reach a climax again. It is truly an experience of climax after another.

But this documentary is a bit of a flag, especially before the playoffs start.

Let’s take a look at the Eastern and Western Conference rankings in this crazy season.

The Warriors are the best team in the West, with 74 wins.

Number two is...the Grizzlies!

They won 62 games!

The most amazing team this season has to be the Warriors, but the most surprising team must be the Grizzlies.

Last year, the Grizzlies barely qualified for the playoffs in eighth place. If the lineup changes in the new season are not particularly large, they are considered a playoff-level team.

But their final performance can only be described as unexpected.

However, all accidents are traceable. Looking at the essence through the scene and analyzing the regrets of the Grizzlies, this is actually reasonable.

Rose has brought his heroic form from last year's playoffs into the new season. After Gay got the contract, he was able to assist Rose with peace of mind. Coupled with the growth of Gasol, the outside defensive pressure brought by Tony Allen, and Deng and Bu Ruhl's solid performance.

It makes sense for the Grizzlies to achieve such results.

The Clippers ranked third with 57 wins.

The Clippers' lineup has not changed much, but the average age has increased by one year, and the overall strength should be weaker than last year.

However, the core lineup of Kobe, Gasol, Bynum and Odom keeps them in the championship echelon.

Their final record and ranking also illustrate this point.

The Mavericks ranked fourth with 57 wins.

Because the Warriors are too dazzling and the average age of the lineup is too old, they have not received much attention this season.

Even if they finished fourth in the Western Conference, in the minds of many fans, they were still a team that did not have the strength to compete for the championship.

The Spurs are fifth with 56 wins.

The Spurs started the season right behind the Warriors and have been as consistent as they have been in the past.

However, the Grizzlies suddenly emerged and, coupled with bad luck, were finally squeezed into the bottom half.

Of course, the Spurs don't panic at this position, and Spurs fans don't panic even more. After all, they faced the Mavericks in the first round, which was already in the sunset.

When Kobe was still a Maverick, they were not afraid, let alone the "old, weak, sick and disabled" now.

The Thunder are ranked sixth with 50 wins.

Griffin had an amazing rookie season, averaging 20+10 points per game and winning the Rookie of the Year award.

Coupled with Jeff Green and Westbrook, who was selected as an All-Star this year, this version of the Thunder's three youngsters is infinitely young and has quickly achieved results.

The Trail Blazers ranked seventh with 48 wins.

Roy's injury became a major turning point for the Trail Blazers, but the team is full of talent and they still have a place in the playoffs in the fiercely competitive Western Conference.

The Hornets are in eighth place with 46 wins.

The lucky "58 Long" once again faced Sun Hao's team.

Although the overall record in the Western Conference is worse than last season, a large part of the reason is that the Warriors are too strong, which has collectively lowered the number of wins in the entire Western Conference.

In fact, the competition in the Western Conference playoffs is more intense than last year. The Suns, Lakers, Jazz, and Nuggets all missed the playoffs this season.

On the Eastern side, first to eighth are: Knicks, Bulls, Celtics, Magic, Pacers, Wizards, Pistons, Hawks.

The Knicks' final record is set at 62 wins, the same as the Western Conference Grizzlies.

If it weren't for the existence of the Warriors, the Knicks' performance would be worthy of the name of the Big Three.

The Eastern and Western Conference rankings have been determined, and the playoffs will soon begin.

Prior to this, the league announced the first batch of awards for the regular season.

The Most Improved Award and the Best Sixth Man Award belong to Kevin of the Timberwolves and Lamar Odom of the Clippers respectively.

And the best head coach belongs to...Old Nelson!

One thing I mentioned before is that no coach in the NBA has ever been able to win the title of Best Head Coach for consecutive years, and "non-reelection" has become a convention in the selection of the NBA's Best Head Coach.

This year, Grizzlies head coach Hollins is the most popular candidate.

Because if you exclude the Warriors, the Grizzlies have the most amazing performance and the greatest improvement.

But this time, the league did not follow the usual practice and chose to give Nelson two consecutive opportunities!

It can only be said that the Warriors' performance this year is so shocking, so shocking that it can break the historical convention!

After all, if the head coach of the 74-win team is not the best head coach, the judges of this year will probably be hacked.

Then the interesting thing is that Nelson's number of best head coaches has surpassed Phil Jackson.

Xian Fu's "Zen Master" at home must have drawn a circle and cursed the alliance at this time.

After this wave of award presentations, this year's NBA playoffs have officially begun.

Two days later, all eight groups of games in the first round of the NBA playoffs ended.

In the East, the Knicks defeated the Hawks 126-91.

In this game, the Knicks took their small-ball style to the extreme. The entire defensive counterattack made the Hawks lose their temper, so they really gave it a try.

In the remaining three sets of matches, the Bulls and Celtics all passed easily, but the Magic unexpectedly lost to the Pacers.

Howard was hampered by the twin towers of Noah and Randolph, and the Magic naturally couldn't perform well.

In the West, the most watched game between the Spurs and the Mavericks ended with the Mavericks winning 103-98.

The Spurs changed their positions again this season, and Popovich began to try to use the "hammer tactics" he developed.

Although 98 points is not high, their performance was close to perfect and there were basically no major mistakes on the field.

However, they still failed to beat the Mavericks in the end, because the Mavericks also performed perfectly!

And Nowitzki took away the game in a direct wave at the last moment.

In the remaining three groups of games, the Grizzlies narrowly defeated the Trail Blazers, the Clippers easily defeated the Thunder, and the Warriors... beat the Hornets by 58 points.

58 again!

If many people have almost forgotten the existence of "58 Long" after so many years, then the end of this game can be regarded as the loudest reminder.

The Hornets had a chance to close the score at the last moment, but unfortunately Jarrett Jack's open shot missed at the last moment, and the point difference was fixed at 58 points.

When the camera showed Deron, his face turned green.

Maybe next season, New Orleans fans won't be able to see Deron wearing a Hornets jersey.

In the eight opening games of the first round, there were no major upsets, and they basically reflected the strength of both sides.

Of course, there are still fans who feel that the opening game doesn't mean much. For example, Spurs fans, they don't think the Mavericks can maintain that state in the subsequent series.

then……

Half a month later, all the first round of NBA games were played, and the results of the eight groups were also released.

In the East, the Knicks 4-0 Hawks; Bulls 4-1 Pistons; Celtics 4-2 Wizards, Magic 2-4 Pacers;

Yao Ming fell in the first round for two consecutive years, and his life in Washington was not easy.

Howard is also interesting. He was afraid of Yao Ming before, but Yao Ming didn't beat him for two years, and he never made it to the finals again.

In the West, the Warriors beat the Hornets 4-0; the Grizzlies beat the Trail Blazers 4-2; the Clippers beat the Thunder 4-1; the Spurs beat the Mavericks 1-4.

The Spurs finally lost to the Mavericks and only won 1 game in the end!

This result can be said to be quite unexpected, especially for Spurs fans.

However, some fans who have watched the game will still lament that the Mavericks' state in this year's playoffs is not good at all.

Of course, just like the fans' senses after the regular season, they don't think the Mavericks are that strong.

The first round is over and the second round matchups are also determined.

In the East, the Knicks face the Pacers. The Pacers' twin towers are expected to pose a great challenge to New York's Big Three.

In history, both James and Durant have been ridiculed for "taking the most difficult road."

From a certain perspective, it is not just a joke, because after embarking on the road of "joining together" and "surrendering to the enemy", not winning the championship means failure.

The Knicks did not win the championship this year, and perhaps there is a reason to say that they did not get along well in the first season.

But if they don't make it to the finals, no reason can be justified, and the Big Three will die before they start.

Bulls VS Celtics, the fight between these old enemies is destined to be exciting, and for the Boston Big Three, this may really be their last chance.

Next year, Garnett and Ray Allen will be 36 years old, and the youngest Pierce will be 35.

In the West, the Clippers face the Grizzlies.

This is a confrontation between old and new powers. Most fans think that the Clippers should be able to win easily. The Clippers won much easier than the Grizzlies in the first round, and the playoffs are the stage for superstars. The Clippers It is enough to have one Kobe on the team.

The Warriors will face the challenge of the Mavericks.

The outside world's view of this matchup is similar to that of the Clippers and Grizzlies.

Most people think the Warriors will easily defeat the Mavericks.

Some fans even thought the Warriors would sweep the Mavericks.

"In the first round, they performed at a super level, but in the second round, they won't have such good luck again!"

These are obviously Spurs fans, and of course their views are supported by many other fans.

The Mavericks don't look like they're doing big things this season.

However, the Warriors attach great importance to the Mavericks, who will face them in the second round.

Just like Nelson's reaction in the regular season, the Warriors have very high demands on themselves this season, so they will not underestimate their opponents.

In particular, after confirming that the opponent was the Mavericks, Sun Hao emphasized how strong this Mavericks team was.

According to his exact words.

"The Mavericks team we faced is better than the Knicks."

At first glance, this sentence sounds a bit contemptuous of the Knicks.

But Sun Hao, a time traveler, is not exaggerating at all when he says this.

Because this Mavericks team is a championship team in history!

Just like Spurs fans have always thought that the Mavericks were lucky, all those teams that thought so were eventually killed!

If anyone else had said this, even if it had been said by Nelson, the Warriors players wouldn't have cared so much.

But this sentence was said by Sun Hao, so no one would care!

Sun Hao said that the Mavericks are strong, so they must be very strong!

This is the right to speak of Sun Hao, the first person in the alliance.

Sun Hao's words were inadvertently revealed by the team members and were quickly exposed by the media.

Most fans felt that Sun Hao overemphasized his opponent this time.

Because when Sun Hao was still with the Lakers, he never said such a thing when facing the Mavericks team of Kobe Bryant and Nowitzki.

"Caution is a good habit, but excessive caution is unnecessary."

Even Barkley felt that Sun Hao was a little too cautious on the TNT show.

But all this changed in the opening game of the conference semifinals between the Warriors and Mavericks.

The opening game between the two sides was held at Oracle Arena, the home of the Warriors.

The Warriors got into the game quickly at the start, but the Mavericks showed their outstanding resilience and ability to attack tough problems.

Whenever the Warriors are about to gain momentum, the Mavericks, Nowitzki or Terry can always hit some difficult goals or even fairy balls to maintain the situation.

At halftime, the Warriors only led the Mavericks by 7 points, 58-51.

After watching this, many fans felt like: Why are the Mavericks so lucky?

But there is a saying that goes like this:

Those goals scored by the Mavericks are difficult, and there is indeed an element of luck or super performance in them.

But if you can maintain that kind of performance, that is actually ability.
