The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

No matter how much buzz the trade creates, the regular season has to go on.

In the few games at the end of February, the Wizards continued to maintain a high winning percentage, leading the record list with an absolute lead as always.

Under the Wizards, several teams in the East have launched a fierce battle.

Because of the loss to the Wizards in the direct contest, the Bulls lost one more game, only one game ahead of the Heat.

At the beginning of the new season, the running-in of the Big Three of the Heat did not seem to be particularly good, but as the schedule progressed, the Big Three have become more and more tacit, and the winning percentage of subsequent games has also risen linearly. Victory can be guaranteed at any time, so the victories are gradually catching up.

The Celtics, ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference, are worse than the Heat and the Bulls in terms of record, but they are nearly 6 games ahead of the fifth-ranked Magic in the Eastern Conference.

From fourth in the Eastern Conference to fifth in the Eastern Conference to eighth in the Eastern Conference, they are the Magic, Eagles, Nets and Knicks. The records of these four teams are very close. The eighth-ranked Knicks is far from the fifth-ranked Magic. Only two wins away.

All four teams are chasing each other, frantically trying to surpass each other to climb higher.

However, the Magic is a traditional giant after all. Even if the level of outside players has declined further this season, relying on Howard's super performance of averaging 23 points, 14 rebounds and 2.4 blocks per game, the Magic began to gradually stabilize the rhythm in the second half of the schedule. A wave of five consecutive victories directly widened the gap with the other three teams.

The Eagles and the Nets are also chasing after each other, and the competition is extremely fierce.

On the contrary, the Big Three of the New York Knicks, which people are looking forward to, performed unsatisfactorily after completing the deal on the trade deadline.

What the Knicks are facing is a very real problem, the distribution of ball rights.

As a traditional pick-and-roll point guard, Deron needs the ball to play his due strength.

When Anthony was in the Nuggets, he was basically the core of the offense with the ball. When the two are on the court at the same time, there will naturally be problems with the distribution of the ball.

This is just a small problem. After all, Anthony and Iverson have also partnered. Also as a guard, Iverson is no less eager to control the ball than Deron.

The problem is, the Knicks still have a Stoudemire.

Compared with Anthony and Deron who joined halfway, he naturally has a sense of superiority.

In addition, the head coach of the Knicks is still the mentor D'Antoni who followed Stoudemire in the Suns, which made Stoudemire feel that he is the boss of the team, and Anthony and Deron are here to assist him of.

In this case, when he watched Deron and Anthony play each other in the paint and didn't take him to play, dissatisfaction immediately spread.

In the first game composed of the Big Three, Stoudemire's shots dropped sharply. He only took 12 shots, hit 5 goals, and scored a total of 15 points including free throws.

Stoudemire clearly expressed dissatisfaction at the press conference after the game.

But as a power forward, an inside player, how many times he can touch the ball in a game still depends on the face of the outside player.

All the Big Three combinations in history, including the Big Three of the Celtics, the Big Three of the Heat, and the Big Three of the Cavaliers after James returned to the Cavaliers, once the Big Three are formed, the data will be most affected by the inside players.

In the season before Garnett joined the Celtics, he averaged 22.4 points, 12.8 rebounds and 4.1 assists in the Timberwolves. However, in the first season of the Celtics, the average data dropped to 18.8 points and 9.2 rebounds. 3.4 assists.

Bosh averaged 24 points and 10.8 rebounds in the season before going to the Heat. After arriving in the Heat, the data immediately dropped to 18.7 points and 8.3 rebounds.

The same is true for Kevin Love. Before joining the Cavaliers, Love averaged 26 points and 12.5 rebounds per game in the Timberwolves, but after going to the Cavaliers, his averages became 16.4 points and 9.7 rebounds per game.

Stoudemire doesn't understand these big numbers, and even if he does, he won't accept that the problems with the New York Knicks are bound to persist for a long time.

...

The Knicks battle has nothing to do with Wang Xiao and his Wizards.

February passed and March arrived. For the Wizards, there are only the last 22 games left in the regular season.

In the previous 60 games, the Wizards had a record of 50 wins and 10 losses, becoming the first team in the league to win 50 games this season, and locked in the playoffs early.

In the next 22 games, for the Wizards, there is another new goal.

"Make history!"

Those were the words written on the banners that Wizards fans pulled up during games in early March.

Since joining the league in 1961, by 2011, the Wizards have gone through nearly fifty years.

In the past fifty years, the best record in the history of the Wizards in the regular season was 60 wins and 22 losses in the 1974-1975 season.

And this year, the Wizards, who have won 50 wins and 10 losses in 60 games, have a great probability of breaking the Wizards' historical record, with a record of more than 60 wins in a single season!

The only suspense is what level the Wizards' record will reach this season.

The current 50-10 Wizards win rate is 83.33%. If this win rate continues, the Wizards should be able to win 67 or 68 games in the end. There is no doubt that it is definitely a fantastic record.

67 wins, in the history of the NBA's single-season win record, is also an excellent record that can be ranked in the top ten. As of 2011, the league has only 9 single-season wins of more than 67 wins.

Ranked first is naturally the Invincible Bulls with 72 wins and 10 losses in the 1995-96 season.

The most recent one is the 67 wins and 15 losses of the Dallas Mavericks in the 06-07 season.

It is generally believed that it will be difficult for the Wizards to maintain a super high winning percentage of 83% in the next 22 regular season games. After all, as the regular season enters the final sprint stage, all teams will do their best for the ranking. The game is much more difficult than before.

More importantly, in the next 22 games of the Wizards, 2 games will be against the old enemy Heat, and there will also be 2 games against the new Big Three Knicks. In addition, the Bulls, Spurs, Lakers and other strong The team will also become a stumbling block in front of the Wizards.

ESPN's prediction for the Wizards' final record is around 62 to 65 wins.

This prediction is very pertinent, and most fans generally agree.

After all, even if it is only 62 wins, it can still break the best record in the history of the Wizards and keep the number one position in the league, which is enough to satisfy them.

But Wang Xiao didn't think so.

For most players and fans, a victory in the regular season may be just a manifestation of honor, but for him, Wang Xiao, it is a real victory value!

Between 67 wins and 62 wins, there was a difference of 1000 victory points! What are you kidding?
