I’m Really Playing Basketball

The 2012-2013 regular season is over. With the end of the regular season, the major competitions and disputes in this year's regular season have also temporarily come to an end.

In the ranking competition between the Bucks, Heat, Cavaliers and Bobcats, the Bucks finally won the first place with a record of 68 wins and 14 losses. After the Bobcats won three consecutive championships, in the past few seasons, the NBA's In the regular season, for the first time, the No. 1 team in the regular season failed to win more than 70 games.

This shows how fierce the competition is this season.

This shows how narrow the gap between several teams in the league is.

Even the Bucks led by Durant, Curry, Allen Iguodala and others are indeed the strongest this season, but they can't open a big gap with other teams.

This year's No. 1 team in the Eastern Conference and the No. 1 team in the league is the Bucks.

The second team in the Eastern Conference is the Miami Heat, with a record of 64 wins and 18 losses. The Heat's performance this season is also quite outstanding. Although the team lost two starting players, O'Neal Jr. and Barbosa, because of Paul George, With the growth of the season, and the fact that Mills, an Australian guard who played the best offensive performance of his career, has become smaller to adapt to the current league style, the Heat does not seem to be getting weaker, but getting stronger.

The record of second place in the Eastern Conference and second place in the league also proves this.

The Cavaliers, who are third in the East, and the Bobcats, who are fifth in the East, both have 62 wins and 20 losses, but the Cavaliers have the advantage of playing against each other. Therefore, the Cavaliers won the second place in the top four best divisions, and The Bobcats unfortunately fell to fifth place in the Eastern Conference, ranking first in the Atlantic Division, behind the Raptors with a record of 56 wins and 26 losses.

The sixth-ranked team in the Eastern Conference, the Chicago Bulls, has a record of 53 wins and 29 losses this season, which is still far behind the previous five teams.

The Chicago Bulls are a team in the Eastern Conference and have been a very competitive team over the years. After Chen Xiao left the Eastern Conference this season, many people said that this team can make an impact this season.

After all, after Chen Xiao leaves and the Bobcats no longer stand out, you should be stimulated to create value, but judging from the final result, the Bulls' performance was disappointing.

The reason why it is so disappointing is mainly because of the three leading players of this team, Deron, Ben Gordon and Luol Deng.

Deron has declined very obviously this season. In the past five seasons, for the first time, he has not averaged 20+10 per game. This season, he only averaged 18+8. This is a first-class point guard data, but if you are For Deron's requirements, this is definitely not a good performance.

This season, his steps are very slow and his organization is very irritable. Many times, he just throws away from the three-point line.

At the same time, this season, as he became bigger and bigger, injuries continued to occur.

Many people say that he usually does not protect his body very much, so that his body is not always in the best condition.

And Deron is not the only Bulls player who has a tendency to enjoy success.

Ben Gordon, Luol Deng, all started to enjoy it before they succeeded.

Yes, they make it very obvious that they have given up their efforts and are desperate for their efforts.

In the past, the Bulls, an unstoppable team that could compete with the Heat at its peak in the playoffs, felt a strong sense of twilight this season.

Yes, not to mention Ben Gordon and Luol Deng, even Deron is actually 29 years old now.

For any NBA player, 29 is his prime year, but he is definitely no longer young.

You can't ask all players who are almost 30 years old to be as hungry as Chen Xiao and Kobe.

Therefore, many people say that this season's Bulls will be their final peak. From this season on, they will sink quickly.

Since there are sinking teams, there are also rising teams.

And this season, the young teams that are rising the fastest are undoubtedly the Boston Celtics and Pacers, who are seventh in the Eastern Conference and eighth in the Eastern Conference.

The two teams, led by Adam Morris and Guy Noa, as well as Beasley and Love, actually both had a record of 50 wins and 32 losses, sending away the Knicks led by Carter, Stoudemire and Westbrook. Playoffs.

This is so incredible.

Of course, in the end, the Celtics and Pacers were able to counterattack the Knicks, of course, because the two teams' top players, Adam Morris and Beasley, both performed extremely well in the final sprint of the regular season.

These two little Larry Birds averaged 28 points and 30 points per game respectively in the last two months, which is quite astonishing.

The key point to mention is Adam Morris, the Celtics' leading player.

After Adam Morrison entered the league in 2006, he basically played only half of the games in each of the previous six seasons.

The Boston Celtics' protection of this diabetic star is simply outrageous.

It is as if he is protecting Adam Morris like porcelain.

I have to say that using Adam Morrison in this way really protects little Larry Bird.

In last season, Adam Morris' seventh season, the Celtics finally made progress with technology, and Adam Morrison finally no longer had to play one game or rest.

Although it is impossible to play every game, he played 66 times in a season, which still surprised the Celtics.

And this number of games is also the basis for the Celtics to finally challenge the Knicks when sprinting.

It has to be said that the Celtics succeeded in dealing with Adam Morrison.

Of course, the Knicks ultimately failed to enter the playoffs this season. In addition to the outstanding performance of the Pacers and Celtics, the main reason was that they themselves were a fool.

Especially Westbrook, the Knicks' leading point guard.

In the sprint period at the end of this season, the New York Knicks were the team with the most reverses in the entire league.

At the critical moment, Westbrook pitted Carter and Stetson Chandler Jr. simply to death.

In history, Westbrook cheated Xiao Du.

In the season of Du's MVP season, when Westbrook did not come back, Du led the Thunder to the top of the league. When they played the Big Three Heat away from home, they almost opened the game in three quarters easily.

After Westbrook came back, he led his opponents to reverse the Thunder in various ways, and the Thunder's record fell instead of rising.

That is to say, the advantage that Xiao Du has established before is too great. Otherwise, the only MVP in his career will be cheated by Westbrook.

Westbrook is not incompetent, his strength and impact are quite explosive, but he really cannot play at critical moments.

His golf intelligence makes him like a bomb that can kill anyone at critical moments, but most of the time, he is the only one who gets killed.

Therefore, after the Knicks' failed season, many people said that the Knicks now have great internal conflicts.

Carter and Stoudemire were very dissatisfied with Westbrook.

However, Westbrook is only 24 years old now, and he is a rookie selected by the Knicks. He is one of his own. With his current talent and strength, who dares to give up on him?

What if he gets enlightened in the future?

It really dawns on you, Westbrook is one of the strongest point guards in history.

If you were the Knicks' front office and you were Isiah Thomas, who would you choose between the two?

Carter Stoudemire, Chandler or Westbrook?

The answer is self-evident.

Even the management of a trashy team like New York knows what this choice looks like.

Carter and Stetson Chandler are forced to leave New York, and it will definitely not be Westbrook.

Well, New York is quite lively right now.

This season, in addition to the first nine Eastern Conference teams, the tenth to fifteenth Eastern Conference teams are the Wizards, Magic, 76ers, Pistons, Hawks and Nets led by Harden.

Among these teams, James Harden of the Wizards needs to be mentioned.

Although he did not lead the team into the playoffs, he led the Wizards to a record of 44 wins and 38 losses, making James Harden almost secure this year's Most Improved Player Award.

Many people originally said that Paul George and Lopez of the Warriors were the biggest contenders for this award.

But with James Harden's efforts in the second half of the season, leading the team to a record of more than 50% wins, and averaging 26+6+2 per game, there is really no suspense.

Even James Harden's data can make him competitive for the best team position.

Maybe, maybe, he can be selected for the third team.

If he can lead the Wizards into the playoffs, based on these data and the difficulty of competition in the Eastern Conference, the second team is possible.

In addition, the Nets also need to say that the first coaching season of Keith's career ended with such results. It can only be said that Keith was very dissatisfied.

Similarly, it can only be said that Kyrie Irving does not have the ability to lead a team.

This season, Boss Ji often complained about Irving in front of Chen Xiao, and also told Chen Xiao how much he admired Irving.

Irving, a high-level Mamba-type player, is really the one that Boss Key both loves and hates.

After talking about the east, let’s talk about the west.

In the West, the team with the best record is of course the San Antonio Spurs.

The Spurs are very stable in first place in the Western Conference, with 62 wins and 20 losses. Because the Spurs are quite old, they even let some slack in the last month.

While other teams were sprinting, only the Spurs seemed so calm.

After all, in the West, no team can threaten them. As long as they play seriously against the Warriors, suppress the second-place Warriors and keep first place, then there will be no problem.

As for home field advantage...

In the 22111 format before the finals, they have home court advantage in the Western Conference.

When it comes to the finals, the 232 format, let's put it this way, is a format where the visiting team has an advantage.

At least it's not the visiting team advantage. The 232 game system is definitely not a home field advantage game system.

They don't want to work hard to be number one in the league, as long as they are number one in the Western Conference. This allows the Spurs to play very calmly in the sprint stage of the regular season this season.

Compared with the Spurs, this is not the case with other Western Conference teams.

Let's not talk about the Warriors, because the Warriors' group of young players suddenly lost power at the end of the season, and Chen Xiao led the team with the same attitude that he averaged 44 points per game in that season.

After the All-Star Game, Chen Xiao had 12 games with 50+ points, averaging 41.5 points per game!

This directly allowed Chen Xiao to counterattack from a player who was fourth in the scoring list to first in the scoring list.

Chen Xiao really worked hard to be second in the Western Conference after the All-Star Game. It was precisely because of his hard work and the friendly environment in the Western Conference that he finally defended the Warriors' second place in the Western Conference with a record of 58 wins and 24 losses. It is also the only one under the Spurs.

Because the Clippers, third in the Western Conference, have a record of 54 wins and 28 losses, four games behind the Warriors.

The Timberwolves, fourth in the Western Conference and first in the Northwest Division, have a record of 48 wins and 34 losses.

The Lakers, fifth in the Western Conference and third in the Pacific Division, have a record of 52 wins and 30 losses.

The Lakers finally want to surpass the Clippers.

But just like the Warriors are very stable in the Western Conference after having Chen Xiao, the Clippers are also very stable in the Western Conference after having Cannon and Howard.

Even if the Lakers tried hard in the end, they wouldn't have any chance to surpass the Clippers.

The sixth team in the Western Conference is the Dallas Mavericks, with a record of 46 wins and 36 losses.

The Mavericks have been declining year by year since the previous Finals. There is nothing that can be done about it. Nowitzki is indeed getting older.

The seventh and eighth teams in the Western Conference are the Utah Jazz with 42 wins and 40 losses and the Phoenix Suns with 41 wins and 41 losses.

There is also a gap in quality between these two teams and the previous Western Conference teams. However, these two teams are better because of their youth.

The ninth to fifteenth teams in the Western Conference are the Trail Blazers, Houston, Thunder, Nuggets, Kings, Hornets, and Grizzlies.

After talking about the regular season rankings of each team this season, let’s talk about the league’s leaders in various statistics this season.

The first thing I want to talk about must be the scoring champion.

This season's scoring champion, Chen Xiao, continues to retain the scoring title with an average of 32.5 points per game.

Moreover, this season, Chen Xiao's season statistics are 32.5 points, 10.2 rebounds, 11.5 assists, 2.2 steals and 1.8 blocks per game.

Chen Xiao once again averaged a triple-double of 30+ per game.

Before the All-Star Game, many people said that Chen Xiao would never be able to hit a 30+ triple-double again, but no one expected that in the end, Chen Xiao actually managed to hit it.

It can only be said that after the All-Star Game, the Warriors teammates really gave Chen Xiao a chance.

Therefore, this season Chen Xiao is not only the scoring leader, but also the assists leader.

By the way, this season's rebounding and shot-blocking leader is still Oden of the Cavaliers. Oden is likely to be crowned the best defensive player this season.

The steal leader this season is Ron Howard, who averages 2.5 steals per game.

This season's forward defense composed of Luo Ge and Kawhi Leonard can be said to have frightened many outside superstars in the league.

Of course, after the regular season ends this season, the topic that everyone is paying attention to now is naturally not the Spurs of Luo Ge and Kawhi Leonard.

At the end of the regular season, everyone is paying attention to Durant, who averaged 29 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.5 blocks per game this season, leading the team to 68 wins, and Chen Xiao, who once again averaged 30+ triple-doubles per game. With 28 points, 11 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 1.5 blocks, James led the team to 62 wins, who is the final MVP!

"These three people, this season is so exciting!"
