Chapter [-] Season Summary!

After watching this year's All-Star voting ranking gradually stabilized, this year's regular season record ranking also began to slowly stabilize.

It has to be said that the ranking of the regular season record so far this year is quite different from the predictions of many people before the season started.

For example, the Trail Blazers on the west side, and the Celtics on the east side!

It's just that the two teams are different in that they exceeded many people's predictions. One is that the record beyond imagination is too good, and the other is that the record beyond imagination is too sluggish! (For the teams that make up the Big Four, not directly dominating the entire Eastern Conference is unimaginably bad!)

Of course, some teams' record performance is very unexpected, and naturally there are also teams with normal record performance.

In the end, the current regular season rankings of the East and West are as follows!
The first is the Eastern side, as of the end of the last game in 2007, BJ time.The Eastern Conference standings are as follows:

1. Atlanta Hawks 28-4

2. Detroit Pistons 20-11

3. The Boston Celtics are 18-13.

4. Orlando Magic 18-14

5. New Jersey Nets 16-16

6. Chicago Bulls 16-17

7. Toronto Raptors 15-17

8. Cleveland Cavaliers 15-18

9. Washington Wizards 14-18

10. Indiana Pacers 13-20

11. Philadelphia 12ers 20-[-]

12. Miami Heat 10-21

13. Charlotte Hornets 10-22

14. New York Knicks 8-23

15. Milwaukee Bucks 8-24

Without any surprises, after losing the opening game this season, the Eagles, who have won consecutive victories all the way, ranked first in the Eastern Conference with a terrifying record winning percentage, and also ranked first in the league!

This is still the case when the Eagles started to take a rotation in mid-December, otherwise, the Eagles' record may be even more terrifying.

You know, when the Bulls created a record of 72 wins in the regular season, they had similar records to the Eagles in the same period of time.

Therefore, some players have recently begun to discuss the Eagles with the Bulls of the year.

At the same time, Xu Lang also began to compare with Jordan of the same age.

There is no doubt that if it is purely better than the team's hard power, the Eagles must be weaker than the Bulls back then.

It's just that apart from the Eagles, the other teams in the East have directly formed a cliff-like gap with the Eagles in terms of record winning percentage.

Let the Eagles' record look really horrible!

After the Eagles, the only team in the East with a winning percentage of more than 60% is the Detroit Pistons.

Even, from the side, such a cliff-like record in the East has something to do with the fact that the Eagles are too strong.

It can be said that the Eagles have not lost to an Eastern team so far. The Eagles have lost four games so far, and none of them have been against an Eastern team.

Even, in the game against the Eastern Conference teams, the Eagles have averaged close to a double-digit lead per game so far.

It can be said that, except for a small number of teams, the Eagles in full normal game condition can basically put the game into garbage time ahead of schedule.

As for the third-ranked Celtics, in the early stages of the schedule, after being beaten by multiple championship-level teams in a row, they almost failed to hold their third place in the Eastern Conference.

Fortunately, the Celtics are a Big Four team after all.

After a certain period of running-in and adjustments, the Celtics slowly stabilized their record and ranked third in the Eastern Conference.

It's just that compared with the fourth-ranked Magic, the Celtics don't have much advantage in record.

This season's Magic, under the leadership of Howard, has slowly begun to show the potential and ability of a strong team in the playoffs.

Especially with Howard as the defensive core, the defensive system built by the Magic has begun to take shape at the level of the league's top defensive system!

Under Howard's leadership, so far this season, the Magic's average conceded points per game has dropped to 96.7 points, and their scoring average has increased to 105.7 points per game.

This also makes the Magic a team that was originally considered an ordinary playoff-level team before the start of this season.

By this time, it has been classified as a championship team by many media.

At the same time, starting from the Magic, other teams in the East began to have new faults again!

The four teams from fifth to eighth in the Eastern Conference, although from the record point of view, it seems that there is not a big gap with the Magic and Celtics.

But from the performance of the game, these four teams have no resistance at all when facing the top four teams in the East.

In fact, the overall strength of these four teams is not much different from the ninth and tenth Washington Wizards and Indiana Pacers.

And it's not just that when facing the top four teams in the East, these teams performed poorly, but when facing the ordinary playoff teams in the West, these teams also lost more than they won. .

This also led to these four teams, only the fifth-ranked Nets barely maintained a winning percentage of 50%.

The performance of this faulty team in the East is obviously different from that in the West.

It can only be said that since Jordan retired, the pattern of strong west and weak east has not changed much until now.

In addition to the top ten teams in the East that have playoff hopes, the other five teams in the East have already confirmed their lottery spots for this year!
Among them, the Milwaukee Bucks and the New York Knicks are strong contenders for the No. 08 pick in [-].

It's just that compared with the draft years of the past two seasons, next year's draft will be much worse in terms of the overall quality of rookies and the talent potential of a certain player.

This also means that teams like the Bucks, Knicks and Heat are not really doing badly.

And it was purely because of the poor strength of the team that the record was so poor.

Of course, among the five teams in the lottery, there are also some that shouldn't be in this position, such as the Heat!

Originally, with the strength of the Miami Heat, the record should not be that bad.

After all, although the Heat sent O'Neal away during the offseason, the Miami Heat still retained the former champion team headed by Wade.

In fact, from the beginning of the season, the Heat relied on Wade to still be in the ranks of the playoffs. Even for a certain period of time, the Heat had the strength to attack the top four in the Eastern Conference.

But the sky is unpredictable!
Maybe he was too eager to prove himself after being separated from O'Neill!
From the beginning of this season, Wade's average playing time has been maintained at more than 40 minutes, and even in some games, Wade's playing time can reach more than 45 minutes.

Such high-intensity appearances caused Wade to burst out all kinds of hidden injuries caused by forcibly improving his strength in the past few seasons.

Originally, at the beginning of the season, Wade was only slightly injured, which did not affect his appearance in the game.

However, after the injury, Wade's playing time did not decrease, and even improved, directly converting these minor injuries into major injuries.

Facts have proved that not every player can play with injuries and keep his injuries in a state of recovery.

Finally, at the end of November, when Wade was attacking the inside in a game against the Pistons, he landed softly and failed to stand firmly, which directly caused the meniscus injury of his left leg and required 11 to 15 weeks of repair.

In a way, Wade has already been reimbursed for the season.

After all, when Wade is finished and returns to the game scene, the Heat are likely to be at the bottom of the East, and they can compete for the No. 08 pick in [-].

At that time, it doesn't make much sense whether Wade plays or not, and whether he returns or not.

Of course, this is a good thing for Pat Riley.

After all, a severely injured Wade and an uninjured Wade are completely different in spirit.

In addition, because of Wade's reimbursement for the season, Pat Riley can also take advantage of the trend to step down as the head coach of the Heat, and feel at ease behind the scenes to direct the Heat to start a bad game and compete for this year's No. [-] pick.

Although so far, the 2008 draft will be a draft year.

But the No. [-] pick is always the No. [-] pick, and Pat Riley doesn't want to use the No. [-] pick to choose a potential rookie like Curry, Oden, Xu Lang, and LeBron James.

Even if Pat Riley can select a rookie player with All-Star potential, it will also be a huge bargaining chip for his future signings plan.

Even, for Pat Riley, he hopes that the last two years will be draft years.

That way Wade can go through, with great expectations, the greatest disappointment, the ups and downs.

And only after Wade has experienced these things, he will not be so obsessed with the boss of the team, and it will be easier to accept the introduction of a proud man of heaven to the Heat.

Therefore, in the foreseeable next two seasons, the Heat will absolutely be a bad team.

It's just that with David Stern's temperament, he might not be given the No. [-] pick or a high enough draft pick for these intentionally bad teams.

Of course, all of this is something to come. After the end of the 2007 regular season, the NBA schedule is about to come to half.

According to usual experience, the Eastern Conference's regular season ranking at this time is basically the regular season ranking at the end of the season.

Even if there is an occasional change, it will only be a change between the marginal teams at the end of the playoffs!
Therefore, in fact, it is now possible to determine that most of the teams that can enter the playoffs are those teams!
And after watching the Eastern Conference's regular season rankings from the last game in 2007 to BJ time.

Let's take a look at the regular season rankings of the last game in the West as of 2007 BJ time.

1. Houston Rockets 27-6

2. San Antonio Spurs 26-8

3. Los Angeles Lakers 23-9

4. Dallas Mavericks 22-9

5. Utah Jazz 22-10

6. Portland Trail Blazers 22-10

7. Phoenix Suns 21-11

8. Denver Nuggets 20-11

9. New Orleans Hornets 19-11

10. Seattle SuperSonics 18-13

11. Golden State Warriors 18-13

12. Sacramento Kings 15-17

13. Los Angeles Clippers 14-18

14. Memphis Grizzlies 11-21

15. Minnesota Timberwolves 9-24

Obviously, compared with the clearly stratified record rankings in the East, the competition for the playoff spots in the West is much more intense.

The first is the competition for the first place in the Western Conference. After the Spurs defeated the Rockets in the Christmas game, the record gap between the two teams was further shortened.

And the consequence of this is not only that the Spurs have the qualifications to challenge the Rockets for the first place in the Western Conference.

It also makes the record gap between the teams clinging behind the Spurs and the Rockets continue to narrow, because the Spurs themselves are only one game ahead of the Lakers behind them!
Although judging from the team's record, the Spurs lead the Lakers by three games in terms of victories, but this is because the Spurs played two more games than the Lakers.

If the Lakers also make up the gap in the number of games between the two teams with a two-game winning streak.

So from the record point of view, the Spurs are only one game ahead of the Lakers behind them.

Moreover, this is not over, the direct record gap between the Lakers and the teams behind it is not that big.

This is more terrifying, which means that until this time, there are still 5 to 6 teams that can compete with the Rockets for the first place in the Western Conference.

And not only is the competition for No. [-] in the Western Conference very fierce, but the competition for the playoff spots in the Western Conference this season is also very fierce.

After all, until the 11th team in the West, that is, the Golden State Warriors, there are 11 teams in the West with a record of more than 50%.

And all the teams that can enter the quarter-finals have a record winning percentage of more than 60%.

This kind of record performance is placed on the Eastern side, but only the Pistons have a record winning percentage of more than 60%.

The record of the fifth-ranked Nets in the Eastern Conference can even reach the 50% level.

This also means that if the top 11 teams in the West are placed on the East side, they can all compete for the top four in the West.

And the top eight teams in the West can all hit the second position in the East.

This proves from the side that the alliance is now strong in the west and weak in the east.

After all, these teams in the West can have such a good record. On the one hand, it is because they are so introverted, but the main reason is because their winning percentage is too high when facing the Eastern teams.

There is such a statistic that when the top 11 teams in the West face the top eight teams in the East, their average winning percentage is close to 60%.

Even now, the Eagles, who are number one in the league and number one in the East, have a winning percentage of just over 11% when facing the top 70 teams in the West.

The Eagles have a 70% winning rate against the Eastern Conference teams, and a [-]% winning rate against the Western Conference teams.

You can clearly feel how high the competitive pressure and competition intensity in the West are.

For example, the Sonics are currently ranked tenth in the Western Conference.

Being able to come from behind surpassed the Warriors to occupy the tenth place in the Western Conference, and maintained a record of impacting the top eight in the Western Conference.

A large part of the reason is that more than half of the Warriors' more than 30 games so far have been against Eastern teams.

The Warriors have won 12 games against Eastern Conference teams.

That is to say, relying on the victory of these 12 games, the Warriors can still have a chance to hit the playoffs when facing the top 11 teams in the Western Conference with only a 40% winning percentage.

You must know that the Magic, which is currently ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference, only maintains a winning rate of more than 60.00% when facing Eastern teams, which is close to 70%. When facing Western teams, it is just over 50%. .

Therefore, if the Warriors are an Eastern Conference team, it is really possible to attack the top four positions in the Eastern Conference.

And wait until these data are really put together by some media for comparison.

The strength of the other playoff teams in the East except the Eagles was immediately questioned by many fans.

There are even many media that have reduced the number of Eastern Conference teams to only three teams among the top ten teams in the latest team strength ranking list.

They are the Eagles, Pistons and Celtics.

The remaining seven teams are all Western Conference teams, which happen to be the top seven teams in the Western Conference.

And the winning percentages of these 7 teams against the Eastern Conference teams have all reached close to 70%.

Among them, the Rockets, which rank first in the Western Conference and second in the league, have maintained a [-]% winning percentage against the Eastern Conference teams just like the Eagles.

Therefore, some people have always said that the Rockets can still maintain a certain record lead under such fierce competition in the West, occupying the first position in the West, and the gold content of their record is significantly higher than that of the Eagles.

Some people even think that if the Rockets are placed in the East and the Eagles are placed in the West, the Eagles may not be able to secure the No. [-] position in the West, but the Rockets will definitely be able to secure the No. [-] position in the East and the league.

But in the face of these doubts, the Eagles fans only took out the results of the two games to silently refute these sunspots.

That was the result of a game where the Spurs narrowly beat the Rockets by one point, and the result of a game where the Eagles beat the Spurs by one point.

The meaning of the record and outcome of the two games released by the Eagles fans is obvious.

That is, the Eagles are bigger than the Spurs, and the Spurs are bigger than the Rockets, so the Eagles are bigger than the Rockets.

But the Rockets fans also counterattacked. The Rockets fans directly took out the results of the game between the Eagles and the Rockets in the opening game, saying that the Eagles are still a younger brother.
