Chapter 589 The 2008~2009 regular season ends! (Happy first day!)(1/2)
The mechanical dance linkage between Sun Hao and O'Neal when they appeared surprised the fans.
However, after the game started, Sun Hao's desire to perform was not very high.
It’s not that he is in a bad state, but that he has other considerations.
In fact, he doesn't want to participate in this All-Star Game, in addition to not wanting to grab other places, another important reason is his physical condition.
In order to quickly return to his physical condition before retirement, he has been training in overload inside and outside the system.
Thanks to the system's functional drinks, he can do it in such a short time, but the physical loss is real.
So this All-Star Game, he wanted to give his body a vacation.
So even if he agreed to Stern and replaced Durant, he would not play for too long.
However, the Western Army is obviously stronger than the Eastern Conference this year. Under Kobe's leadership, the Western Army finally won with a big score of 153 to 126.
Sun Hao only played for about 15 minutes, made 6 of 7 shots and scored 15 points and 4 assists.
Kobe scored the highest 31 points on the Western Conference side.
It is worth mentioning that O'Neal also performed 20 points and 7 rebounds in the game.
His cooperation with Sun Hao and subsequently with Kobe made fans, especially Lakers fans, excited.
When the All-Star MVP was finally awarded, just when the fans thought Kobe was stable in the MVP, an unexpected situation occurred on the scene.
Kobe and O'Neal share MVP!
During the award ceremony, the two raised the MVP trophy together, then hugged each other for a long time, and the eyes of looking at each other were completely different from those when they were in the same state.
The fans at the scene burst into cheers, although unexpected, but reasonable!
When Russell, the Lord of the Rings, ordered O'Neal to ease the relationship between the two, Sun Hao made a lot of efforts and then Kobe became mature.
The relationship between the two people goes from being in the same situation to being in a state of water and fire to being eased, and then gradually getting better, and finally getting along with each other, the outside world can see it.
This is the case most of the time between men. There may be big conflicts, but many years later, a table and a few bottles of wine were eaten and revenge after drinking.
When Sun Hao saw this scene, he also applauded with the fans.
This will become a good story in the future.
Importantly, he was also involved and also helped a lot.
This sense of participation makes people feel very satisfied.
After the All-Star Game, the NBA also entered the second half.
The teams have also begun to polarize annually, competing for playoff spots and performing big shows.
On the Warriors, Sun Hao's recovery speed is much faster than Jordan at the time because of the system.
Durant's defensive pressure on playing against Sun Hao has dropped sharply, his confidence has increased rapidly, and his performance has also increased.
Oden's performance has also improved, but after all, the big man loses weight is a very slow process, and he will also take a long time to transition.
In terms of team rotation, Hayes gradually replaced Bidlins' position in the rotation with his excellent defensive ability.
In general, after most of the season's running-in, the Warriors' strength has improved greatly compared to the beginning of the season.
Perhaps because of its stability and experience, its strength is not as good as the Clippers and Celtics teams, but at least it has the power to fight.
Even, there is a chance to win the championship.
But then again, why would a team with Sun Hao not have a chance to compete for the championship?
It is the end of April in a blink of an eye.
The regular season of the 2008-2009 season officially ended, and the final rankings of the east and west were also released.
In the East, the Magic ranked first in the Eastern Conference with 66 wins and 16 losses, and it was also the best record in the league.
Howard handed over MVP-level data with 19.6 points, 14.6 rebounds and 3.1 blocks.
They are expected to reach the finals for the second consecutive year and eventually win the championship.
The Celtics ranked second in the Eastern Conference with 62 wins.
The one who is most threatening to the Magic is undoubtedly the Big Three Boston.
Although the North Shore Garden Arena was hit by the threshold before, the Celtics failed to make it to the finals in the end. It was very embarrassing.
However, the strength of the three giants is still very impressive after they are running in.
It is worth mentioning that in three matches with the Magic, the Celtics have the upper hand 2-1.
The Bulls ranked third in the Eastern Conference with 58 wins.
Paul: Don’t ask me why I win 58. You only need to know the third in the Eastern Conference, and I have an average of 22.8 points, 11.8 assists and 2.8 steals per game!
The Pistons ranked fourth with 53 wins.
Although Anthony still performs well, the Pistons' core lineup is getting worse and worse. If this problem cannot be solved, the team's future will be worrying.
It is not ruled out that Anthony will eventually leave Detroit.
The Wizards ranked fifth with 50 wins.
Artest's departure, McGrady's performance further declined due to injury.
To put it in a sentence that Barkley said during his commentary, the Wizards just rely on Yao Ming to support them, and they are no longer the team that guaranteed the Eastern Conference Finals.
The Pacers ranked sixth with a record of 45 wins.
Randolph's joining makes up for the Pacers' biggest weakness in front field position battles.
However, in the second half of the season, the team broke out in the battle between Esley and Randolph.
Not much, it was with Randolph, not with Granger.
Granger plays tough but has a mild personality, so he will not participate in this kind of competition.
But Esley and Randolph are different, both of which are thorny players.
This situation is probably something Bird didn't expect, and it is also a major hidden danger to the Pacers.
The Heat ranked seventh in the Eastern Conference with 42 wins.
Although Brand's joining has improved the Heat's record a lot, Riley's side effects on Orny Jr. began to appear.
Many players are unwilling to go to the Heat.
There is a saying that people’s character is seen in front of interests. Interests are temporary and character is forever.
It's just that I'm pitiful. Wade has reached the peak of his career, but he can only be a gangster.
You should know that he is different from others, so he removed the meniscus in college.
Considering his breakthrough style, his peak period will be shorter than that of ordinary super giants.
Wade must be very clear about this himself, so like Anthony, it is not ruled out that he will leave Miami in the end.
The Cavaliers ranked eighth with 41 wins.
Although the ranking was not high enough, Cavaliers owner Gilbert finally shed tears of excitement.
Because the Cavaliers finally made it to the playoffs!
Moreover, the average age of the team's core lineup is not very big, and the future is promising.
These are the top eight teams, and among those teams that have not entered the playoffs, one team has a stunning performance.
Raptors.
This team in the first half of last season ranked second to last in the West, which really made people surprised.
And the key is that they were still in the hands of the Warriors before the draft!
This is to help the Warriors compete for a lottery draw!
Judging from the final result, Jerry West's vision makes people feel numb.
Let’s look at the west side again.
The Clippers ranked first in the Western Conference with a record of 65 wins and 17 losses.
Kobe averaged 26.8 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.9 per game, which can be said to have a large decline compared to the data in previous years.
But in addition to him, the Clippers, Gasol, Bynum, Odom and Artest, all averaged 10+ points per game!
There are so many people who can play in this team!
It is no exaggeration to say that this is definitely the best opportunity for Kobe to compete for the championship after leaving the Lakers!
The Mavericks ranked second in the Western Conference with a record of 57 wins.
Similar to the Magic, after the running-in, the Mavericks have also shown competitiveness.
Nowitzki averaged 26 points and 8.4 rebounds per game.
Such performance is also at the MVP level.
The Spurs ranked third with 54 wins.
