I’m Really Playing Basketball

They played a very sentimental game against the Lakers and bid farewell to everyone's youth idol Kobe. The Warriors also won their 80th regular season victory on the road this season.

In the end, the Warriors' dynasty season, which was striving for three consecutive championships, achieved a final record of 80 wins and 2 losses in the regular season.

As soon as this record appeared, it was obvious that the entire NBA was crazy about it.

Historically, when Pierce and Garrett Allen formed the Big Three, Boston Celtics fans had a slogan of 82 wins and 0 losses.

But such slogans are just slogans after all.

The Celtics, as powerful as they were, never came close to 82 wins, or even 70 wins.

But these are the Warriors with only Chen Xiao, Wade and Ron Howard, and they really almost finished the season with a record of winning 82 games.

After all, they only lost two games to the Grizzlies and Bobcats. In fact, the Warriors can win these two games if they are a little ruthless. For example, if they don't rest the team's veterans, they can definitely win these two games.

So after the Warriors completed their great feat of 80 wins, many experts said that this is the strongest team in the league with Chen Xiao, Wade, and Ron Howard as the core. It is definitely the strongest team in NBA history. There is only one team that can achieve an 82-win season!

Regarding the evaluations of these experts and fans, Chen Xiao’s evaluation is that what you said is really right.

No one knows the strength of this Warriors team better than Chen Xiao.

At the beginning of this season, Chen Xiao commented in his heart that this Warriors team was the strongest team he had ever led.

The 13 players on the Warriors, not to mention Chen Xiao himself, Wade and Luo Ge, all three are still on the tail end of their peak.

Except for three people.

As for now.

Jokic and Big Eyebrow are both A+ players.

Klay, on the other hand, is a grade A player.

The team's six important players are all A-level players or above.

Can this lineup not be strong?

More importantly, in addition to these six important players, other players are not weak either.

Devin Booker is A-, Carter and Curry Jr. are B+, Norman Powell and Jaylen Brown are B-grade, and Matt Barnes and VanVleet are B-.

Let's put it this way, none of the 13 players on the team is below B-level, which means that everyone can play in the rotation and is also eligible to play in the playoffs.

At the same time, the team still has 6 A-level or above, and one A-. If the Warriors have reasons, the Warriors can rotate seven players, and everyone is an All-Star level player above A-.

Therefore, when the Warriors achieved an 80-win record, the whole world was in admiration. However, Chen Xiao, who knew the Warriors were now strong, did not think it was such a magical thing. Of course, magic must be magical, but It's not as magical as these people praise it.

It's just obvious that the only person in the world who can be so clear-eyed is Chen Xiao, who owns the system. For others, there is only one word for the Warriors' performance this season, and that is bragging!

Just blow it and that’s it!

After the regular season ended, the entire NBA and the entire American public opinion community really praised the Warriors' performance this season, Chen Xiao's performance this season, and G3's performance this season.

Pull back from the entire public opinion's praise of the Warriors to the NBA regular season.

The Warriors' 80-2 record this season is definitely unparalleled.

After the Warriors are the Bucks with 69 wins and 13 losses.

The Bucks' first 46 games were 40 wins and 6 losses, and the next 36 games were 29 wins and 7 losses. It can be clearly seen that in the second half of the schedule, the Bucks actually let go.

After the first half of the schedule, it was determined that they could not catch up with the Warriors and could not be surpassed by the teams behind them. For the Bucks, it really makes no sense to desperately pursue 70 wins, and for Durant, Curry and the Bucks As for the deer, they really don't lack a 70-win record. What they lack is a championship.

In short, although the record gap between the Bucks and Warriors is somewhat large, the two teams are still ranked first in the East and West respectively.

Under the Warriors, the second place in the Western Conference this season is the Clippers led by Chris Paul, with a record of 61 wins and 21 losses. The Clippers' record is also pretty good. This season they got Parker and Ginobili. The Clippers with two veterans are much stronger in terms of thickness and stability of the lineup. It can be said that they deserve to be the second team in the Western Conference.

Behind the Clippers are the Spurs led by Leonard and Howard. The Spurs' record this season is 55 wins and 27 losses. This record is not good, but considering that this season is the first time that Leonard has led the team alone. For one season, this record is actually acceptable.

The fourth-ranked team in the Western Conference is the Jazz led by the United Arab Emirates and DeAndre Jordan. This season's record is 51 wins and 31 losses.

In the entire Western Conference, these four teams have a record of more than 51 wins.

As for the other teams, there is a cliff-like gap between their records and these four teams.

The fifth-ranked team in the Western Conference is the Suns led by Chris Bosh and Aldridge, the sixth-ranked team in the Western Conference is the Lakers led by Kevin Durant, and the seventh and eighth-ranked teams in the Western Conference are led by Lillard respectively. The Trail Blazers and the Timberwolves led by Rondo.

In the end, the Trail Blazers and Timberwolves successfully won the Western Conference playoff spot battle.

The Timberwolves' entry into the playoffs is also the first time Garnett has led the team to the playoffs as head coach.

Therefore, this season is still very meaningful for the Timberwolves.

The Timberwolves team is very young now. The two young talents Wiggins and Towns are worth looking forward to under the leadership of veterans Rondo and Kwame Brown.

In fact, the Timberwolves are now one of the most anticipated young teams in the West.

In the East, the second and third place in the East this season are still the Bobcats and Cavaliers, while the fourth place in the East is the Boston Celtics. Behind these four teams, the fifth place in the East is led by James Harden. The Wizards, sixth in the Eastern Conference are the Raptors led by Milicic, while seventh in the Eastern Conference and eighth in the Eastern Conference are the New York Knicks and Pacers respectively.

The most surprising team in the Eastern Conference this season is of course the New York Knicks led by Westbrook and Carmelo Anthony.

After racking up statistics for several seasons, Westbrook finally led the New York Knicks to the playoffs this season.

This season, Westbrook once again averaged a triple-double of 30+ per game. The super statistics coupled with leading the team in the playoffs have made Westbrook's reputation and expectations in New York very high.

Many New York Knicks fans are looking forward to Westbrook leading the New York Knicks to play the Bobcats in the playoffs and face Rose, one of the two strongest point guards in the Eastern Conference.

At this point, all eight groups of playoffs between the Eastern and Western Conferences have been released.

In the West, the opponent of the No. 1 Warriors in the Western Conference is the Timberwolves, No. 8 in the Western Conference, while the opponent of the No. 2 Clippers in the Western Conference is the No. 7 Trail Blazers in the Western Conference. The opponent of the No. 3 Spurs in the Western Conference is the No. 6 Lakers in the Western Conference. The opponent of the fourth-place Jazz is the fifth-place Suns in the Western Conference.

In the East, the Bucks, who are first in the East, play the Pacers, who are eighth in the East, the Bobcats, who are second in the East, play the Knicks, who are seventh in the East, the Cavaliers, who are third in the East, play the Raptors, who are sixth in the East, and the Raptors, who are fourth in the East. The Celtics play the Wizards, who are fifth in the Eastern Conference.

By the way, in addition to record, the major data kings in the NBA this season.

Among them, the most watched scoring champion was won by Westbrook of the New York Knicks, who averaged 31.6 points per game. This was the second time in Westbrook's career that he was crowned the scoring champion. This time, he once again averaged 25 points per game. He took more than one shot to win the scoring title.

And this season Westbrook is not only the scoring leader, but also the triple-double leader averaging 30 points per game. It can be said that the biggest winner in the regular season data this season is still Westbrook.

And Westbrook's triple-double season continues.

In terms of assists, the final assists title this season was taken away by Wizards guard James Harden.

James Harden's final assists per game were 11.2, and his data were 29 points, 11.2 assists, 7 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game. This average data, if it were not for Westbrook's data for comparison, this data would be There is no doubt that this is the most terrifying personal data in the NBA this season.

In the entire history of the NBA, there are not many players who can produce such statistics as Westbrook and James Harden this season. The last one to produce similar statistics was Chen Xiao.

Because of Oden's downturn this season, both the rebounding leader and the block leader have changed hands this season.

As for the rebounding leader, Dwight Howard of the Spurs won the rebounding leader with 13.9 rebounds per game.

In terms of blocks, it was taken away by Ibaka of the Kings. Ibaka averaged 4.1 blocks per game this season. This data can be described as terrifying.

This season's steals leader is tied by multiple players. The Bucks' Dream Green, the Warriors' Ron Howard, the Clippers' Chris Paul, and the Warriors' Chen Xiao all averaged 2 per game. Steals.

Speaking of the steals leader, I have to say that this is really unfair to Luo Ge. If he had not come to the Warriors, if he was still with the Spurs, in fact, there is a high probability that Luo Ge will be the steal leader this season.

It's just obvious that for Luo Ge, he really doesn't value the honor of being the steal king at all.

After all, he has scored 12 in one defense in his career. If he gets one more defense this season, it will be 13. For Luo, the steals title is really a trivial honor.

In addition to the NBA's individual king data, Chen Xiao's personal data for the Warriors players is 25.5 points, 10.5 rebounds, 11 assists, 2 blocks and 2 steals per game.

Wade's data is 21.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.2 blocks per game.

Ron Howard's data is 20.5 points, 5 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 2 steals and 1 block per game.

In addition to these three players, the Warriors averaged more than 20 points per game this season, as well as Nong Mei and Klay. This means that the Warriors also became the second player in the NBA to average more than 20 points per game after the Bobcats that season. 5 players.

This is a very rare achievement.

In fact, if they have enough shot rights, the Warriors' Jokic and Devin Booker are both capable of averaging more than 20 points per game this season.

It's just obvious that the two of them don't have that many shooting opportunities with the Warriors.

Although the Warriors are the strongest offensive team in the league, averaging more shots per game and playing at a fast pace, they still cannot support a team with six or even seven players averaging 20 points per game, no matter how many rotations they make. Can't rotate out.

Unless most of these players on the team play more than 50 games in a season, then it is only possible to rotate the lineup once a game.

If that were the case, it would be pointless and unnecessary.

On April 12, after the NBA regular season ended, the entire league stopped playing for two days. Teams that did not enter the playoffs took a vacation directly, while teams that entered the playoffs started competing for the playoffs after two days of rest. .

The first round of the playoffs between the Warriors and Timberwolves begins the day after the playoffs begin.

On April 16, Golden State hosted the Timberwolves at Oracle Arena in Oakland.

This season the Timberwolves have once again made it to the playoffs, which makes the Timberwolves' current morale still very high.

Although the strength gap between the two teams is not small, the Timberwolves players played very hard.

Especially Timberwolves small forward Wiggins.

Wiggins' opponent is Wade, and Wade's status in the world makes Wiggins very excited.

This player who historically liked soaking wolfberry in a thermos cup would not dare to soak wolfberries in a thermos cup in this time and space. After all, the head coach of the team is Garnett and the team leader is Rondo. Both of them are very good at trolling people. of.

Historically, Wiggins became angry when he saw James, but in this time and space, Wade has replaced James' position in Wiggins' mind.

After all, in this time and space, Wade's achievements are higher.

And I have to say that Wiggins' conditions are really very good, with excellent athletic talent and excellent technical ability. In addition, Wade is far less tall than him, which makes him unable to play well when facing Wade. Very comfortable.

Although the Warriors defeated the Timberwolves 121-110 in the first game, Wiggins' performance was definitely remarkable.

In normal games, he made 16 of 28, 4 of 6 three-pointers, and 4 of 6 free throws. He scored 40 points in the game!

Good guy, in the first playoff game of his career, he scored 40 points. This is the real Diaw.

After all, his regular season data this season is only 24 points per game.

Compared with Wiggins, Towns played quite poorly in his first playoff game, only scoring 11 points.

In this game, Towns was beaten into jelly beans by Chen Xiao and Big Eyebrow in the paint, and his score was lower than that of his partner, veteran Kwame Brown. This is very inappropriate.

If Wiggins hadn't exploded in this game, the Timberwolves would have lost more in this game.

However, you can't expect Wiggins to beat Wade like this every game.

As the offensive core of the team, Towns needs to be opened up so that the Timberwolves have a chance to win a game and a half.

But it's clear that all Timberwolves fans' expectations for Towns were wrong.

Facing Chen Xiao and Nongmei, Towns lost four games in a row.

In the end, the Warriors easily swept the Timberwolves 4-0 in the first round. The least game the Timberwolves lost was the first game. They lost by 11 points due to Wiggins's explosion, and then the next three games. games, losing at least 25 points in each game.

Sweeping the Timberwolves also made the Warriors the first team to advance to this year's playoffs.

After advancing, the Warriors are not looking forward to whether their next opponent will be the Jazz, who are fourth in the Western Conference, or the Suns, who are fifth in the Western Conference.

In fact, for the Warriors, it doesn't matter who is the opponent of these two teams.

In fact, after the first round, the entire Warriors team is looking forward to the NBA regular season awards season.

Although NBA officials have given G3 all the Best of the Month awards in the Western Conference before, this is already a clear sign, but this is still very exciting.

Warriors players, Warriors fans, and even fans across the league, media, experts, and celebrities are all looking forward to it...
