Chapter 293 [The first record, book the Eastern Conference]
On April 4, the Raptors lost to the Magic 1-101 at home.
Magic without McGrady is much weaker than Yang Rui's previous life, but there are also players who can score. In this game, backup power forward Pat Garrity broke out, making 7 of 7 shots, 3 of 3 three-pointers, and 3 free throws. In 3, he scored 20 points and 6 rebounds, which is ridiculously efficient.
Guard Darrell Armstrong and insider Antonio Davis also scored 20+.
One day off, in the focus battle on the 3rd, the Raptors defeated the 100ers 85-76 at home to maintain their record lead.
卡特25投12中, 三分球5中2, 没有罚球，得到26分10篮板5助攻3抢断4盖帽，数据压制了艾弗森。
Reed also had 20 points, 15-of-8 from the field, 8-of-4 from [-]-point range, and no free throws.
After Mutombo joined, the 76ers strengthened their defense in the penalty area, and their pick-and-roll defense was slightly worse than before the All-Star Game.
Even by age on his ID, Mutombo is 34 years old, moving slower and slower, making it difficult to switch guards.He is good at blocking shots near the penalty area. Yang Rui's strategy is to catch the ball from the outside and not enter the penalty area.
When defending, the Raptors shrank their formation to block the penalty area, leaving only Boykins to entangle Iverson on the outside. Mutombo could be freed after pick-and-roll, and he hardly made mid-range shots.
Iverson had a bad game, going 23-for-7 from the field, 6-for-1 from 4-point range, 3-for-18 from the free throw line, and had only 1 points, 2 rebound and [-] assists.It was right to choose a jumper in the face of Boykins, but he didn't have the touch in this game and couldn't make a shot.
After that, the Raptors lost to the Bulls, Pistons, Bucks, and won other games, and the winning rate in April was not high.
On the 18th, the three stars of the Raptors rested and defeated the Wizards at the bottom of the league by 98 to 92 from the bench, ending the regular season with a record of 58 wins and 24 losses.
This result lost 16 more games than last season, and the decline was obvious, but it still won the first record in the East, and was equal to the record of the first Spurs in the West.
The 76ers eventually won 56, ranking second in the Eastern Conference.
3-8 are the Bucks, Pistons, Heat, Hornets, Bulls, Knicks.
The Pistons had a high winning rate in the second half, surpassing the Heat and Hornets, which was somewhat unexpected.After Jeff Van Gundy left New York, he interpreted what is meant by "the tree moves to die, and the man moves to live." When he arrived at the Pistons, people thought he was a good coach again.
Van Gundy may not have enough ability to lead the team to win the championship, but just to lead the team to the playoffs and get a passable ranking, his defensive system and two scorers can do it.
The Knicks' biggest star, Grant Hill, was out for the season, "Madman" Sprewell missed 12 games, and Larry Johnson missed 17 games. The team's offense was too weak.The Knicks only led the Magic one game in the end, 40 wins and 42 losses to catch the last train of the playoffs.
9-15 are Magic, Celtics, Pacers, Cavaliers, Nets, Hawks, Wizards.
The Spurs are the first in the West. The 2-8 are the Lakers, Kings, Mavericks, Jazz, Suns, Trail Blazers, and Timberwolves.
9-14 is the SuperSonics, Nuggets, Rockets, Grizzlies, Clippers, Warriors.
The Rockets recruited recruits last summer. Cato and Maurice Taylor, who paid a lot of money, both performed very badly. One was defensive blue-collar, and the other was all kinds of leaks on the defensive end.
Dawson didn't know why it was pleasing to the eye of Maurice Taylor, who signed the famous six-year, $6 million contract.People from the Clippers, no matter how beautiful the data is, can't just dig it.
The Clippers have a number of high-draft rookies, and manager Elgin Baylor has been mistaking them. There is only one capable player, Lamar Odom, whose record is as bad as ever.
The Grizzlies struggled to send Baron Davis or Mike Bibby all season, with overlapping top picks and no [-]-point shooter, the Grizzlies once again had the bottom record.They have entered a vicious circle. The data of the core players is not bad, but they cannot win the game.
The data king of the regular season was released, and Iverson won the scoring title for the second time in his career, averaging 31.1 points per game.
The rebounding leader is also a 76ers player, with Mutombo averaging 13.5 per game.
Kidd has won the assists king for three consecutive years, averaging 9.8 per game. This year, many teams in the NBA have learned from the Raptors and the King's interior support. The interior players are pulled out to organize passes. As a result, there is no guard with double assists.
The 76ers are the 50ers again. Ratliff, who was traded in the mid-term, played in 3.7 games and averaged [-] blocks per game.
The steal king is also Iverson, averaging 2.5 per game.
This time the 76ers have harvested a lot of honors, and Aaron McGee is likely to be selected as the best sixth man. Their lineup depth has reached the peak in recent years.The best coach selection will be launched between Larry Brown and Popovich, and it is also Brown who has a high voice.
The Raptors have three All-Stars even if McGrady is gone. Many fans don't want them to easily win the championship again, so they support the 76ers, hoping to cause trouble for the Raptors.Fans love Lone Hero. The 76ers' offense mainly depends on Iverson, and he is most worthy of this title.
In the first round of the Raptors against the Knicks, there is no suspense, and the Raptors have an advantage in every position.
In the second round, they will face the winner of the Heat and the Pistons, and the suspense is also not great.The two teams have a common weakness, lack of depth inside.The Pistons lack a meat shield center, and the best defense is veteran Charles Oakley.The core of the Heat is the short Anthony Mason, who suffers from a disadvantage against O'Neal and is not easy to defend.
The playoffs have not yet started, and experts have been unanimously optimistic that the Raptors will reach the Eastern Conference finals, but they do not know which team they will meet.
It is much more difficult for the 76ers to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals than the Raptors, and the Bulls have to bite the hard bone in the first game.
The Bulls have defeated many strong teams including the Lakers, Spurs, and Raptors this season. In the end, they only got No.7 due to lack of experience and some unpleasantness in the locker room.
Ron Mercer changed four teams, but he still didn't recognize himself. In the first year of signing with the Bulls, he began to be dissatisfied with his position in the team and quarreled with Artest in the locker room.He feels that Artest is just a defensive player, his strength is not as good as himself, and he should not be a substitute.
Coach Tim Floyd gave Mercer a lot of thought work, saying that his style of play was suitable for a sixth man.But Mercer's emotional intelligence was too low, and he complained outside and let the media know.As soon as the matter is exposed, even if Xia Xia trades him out, it will be difficult to get him back.
Encountering this kind of thing is "force majeure". A piece of mouse feces ruins a pot of porridge and affects the morale of the entire team.The Bulls didn't perform well in the second half, but their roster depth and strength are not weak.
In the second round, whether the 76ers meet the Bucks or the Hornets, it will definitely be an intense series, especially the Bucks, which tied 76-2 with the 2ers in the regular season.
In the past, many people said that "the west is strong and the east is weak", as if they had discovered the true meaning of life. Last season, the Lakers were swept by the Raptors, and those who shouted this argument were honest and silent.
This season, experts have analyzed the situation of each team and believe that the competition in the East is stronger than that in the West. In fact, only the Spurs and Lakers have the strength to compete for the championship in the West, and other teams have obvious weaknesses.
The Raptors have confirmed the final 13-man roster. The blue-collar Ryan Bowen and the injured Billups are excluded. All four big centers are brought in. The playoffs are about to begin!
