Chapter 648 Warrior A is up(1/2)
After 15 years, the regular season record was finally broken!
And this breaking brought the record up by 2 games!
In fact, at the end of the season, the Warriors narrowly defeated the Mavericks and had already broken the regular season record.
Their opponent in the last game was the Knicks.
Perhaps I felt that the record had been broken and the final victory or defeat was no longer so important, and the Knicks' main players didn't play much.
This game became the only game that the Warriors didn't play much in the season.
This wave is also considered to be: the fulfillment from the biggest competitors!
The news that the Warriors won 74 wins also caused a huge shock in the basketball circle.
"No, there will be no team breaking this record anymore. This is the greatest achievement in basketball history!"
Barkley is not bragging on the show, he is shouting.
This wave of the Warriors has been enough for him to brag for a year!
ESPN, TNT, and major mainstream sports media in the NBA also used clear words "74-8" to report on the Warriors' achievements.
Not only these sports media, but also many mainstream news media such as the New York Times, have reported on this incident.
Even US President O Guanhai retweeted the New York Times news on social media.
Not only basketball, not only sports!
in the country, fans are even more crazy.
Because of Sun Hao, the Warriors have now surpassed the Lakers to become the most popular team in China and the number one home team for Chinese fans.
Now that such a record has been set, you can imagine how excited the fans are.
Not only was there cheers in the forum, but there were a large number of fans in many places organizing gatherings to celebrate, and there were even people flying planes to pull banners. The carnival scene was unprecedented.
It is said that Chinese people are relatively restrained and conservative, because it is not the time!
It’s really like the Warriors’ 74 wins, it can be crazy!
The Warriors even released a documentary called "Warriors 74-8" shortly after the end of the season.
The documentary was shocking, which brought the Warriors fans who had not yet retreated to the climax once again, and it was a climax experience.
However, this documentary is somewhat a bit of a stand-alone flag, especially before the playoffs start.
Let’s take a look at the East-West Rankings for this crazy season.
The Warriors are ahead of the crowd in the West, with 74 wins overlooking all the mountains.
The second place is... the Grizzlies!
They won 62 wins!
The most amazing team this season is the Warriors, but the most surprising one must be the Grizzlies.
Last year, the Grizzlies barely advanced to the playoffs as eighth. When the lineup changes in the new season are not particularly large, they are considered to be teams at the playoff level.
But their final performance can only be described as accidental.
However, all the surprises are traceable. Looking at the essence through the scene, analyzing the Grizzlies regret it and found that this is actually reasonable.
Ross brought his brave state in the playoffs last year to the new season. After Gay received the contract, he also helped Ross with peace of mind. Coupled with Gasol Jr.'s growth, the pressure on the outside defensive brought by Tony Allen, and the stable performance of Deng and Brewer.
It is reasonable for the Grizzlies to play such a result.
The Clippers ranked third with 57 wins.
The Clippers' lineup has not changed much, but the average age is one year older, so their overall strength should be a little weaker than last year.
However, the core lineup of Kobe, Gasol, Bynum and Odom keeps them in the ranks of the championship echelon.
Their final record and ranking also illustrate this.
The Mavericks ranked fourth with 57 wins.
Because the Warriors are too dazzling and the average lineup is too old, they have not received much attention this season.
Even if they finally scored third in the Western Conference, many fans still belong to a team that has no championship strength in their impression.
The Spurs ranked fifth with 56 wins.
The Spurs' record at the beginning of the season is close to the Warriors, and their performance is as stable as before.
However, the Grizzlies emerged and were not lucky, so they were finally squeezed into the lower half.
Of course, the Spurs are not panicked at this position, and the Spurs fans are even more panicked. After all, they are playing against the Mavericks, who are already "down the sky".
When Kobe was a Lone Ranger, they were not afraid, let alone the "old, weak, sick and disabled" now.
The Thunder ranked sixth with 50 wins.
Griffin's rookie season was amazing, with averaging 20+10 per game to secure the best rookie.
In addition to Jeff Green and Westbrook, who was selected as the All-Star this year, this version of the Thunder Three Young Master is unlimited and has quickly achieved a record.
The Trail Blazers ranked seventh with 48 wins.
Roy's injury became a major turning point for the Trail Blazers, but the team's talent was full, and they still had a place in the playoffs in the fiercely competitive West.
The Hornets ranked eighth with 46 wins.
The lucky "58 Long" once again faced Sun Hao's team.
Although the overall record of the Western Conference is a little worse than last season, a large part of the reason is that the Warriors are too strong and have collectively lowered the victory of the entire Western Conference.
In fact, the competition in the Western Conference playoffs is more intense than last year. The Suns, Lakers, Jazz, and Nuggets all missed the playoffs this season.
In the east, the first to eighth are: Knicks, Bulls, Celtics, Magic, Pacers, Wizards, Pistons, and Eagles.
The Knicks' final record was frozen at 62 wins, just like the Western Conference Grizzlies.
If it weren't for the Warriors, the Knicks' performance would be worthy of the name of the Big Three.
The rankings between the east and west have been decided, and the curtain of the playoffs has quickly opened.
Prior to this, the league announced the first batch of awards for the regular season.
The Fastest Progress Award and the Best Sixth Man belong to Kevin of the Timberwolves and Odom of the Clippers respectively.
And the best head coach belongs to... Old Nelson!
As mentioned before, no coach has ever been able to win the best head coach in the NBA, and "not winning again" has become a routine for the selection of the NBA's best head coach.
This year, Grizzlies' head coach Hollins is the hottest candidate.
Because if the Warriors are excluded, the Grizzlies have the most amazing performance and the greatest improvement.
But this time, the league did not follow the convention in the end and chose to give old Nelson a chance for two consecutive games!
It can only be said that the Warriors' performance this year is really shocking, so shocking that it can break the convention that has been around forever!
After all, if the head coach who wins 74 is not the best head coach, the judges of this class will probably be hacked.
And then the interesting thing is that Old Nelson's best head coaching number surpassed Phil Jackson.
The "Zen Master" who is idle at home must have drawn a circle of curses at this time.
After this wave of awards was awarded, this year's NBA playoffs officially started.
Two days later, all eight matches in the first round of the NBA playoffs ended.
In the east, the Knicks cut the Eagles like cutting melons and vegetables 126 to 91.
In this game, the Knicks played the ball to the extreme. The Hawks had no temper when they defended and counterattacked the entire game, so they really tried it.
In the remaining three sets of matches, the Bulls and Celtics easily passed the level, but the Magic accidentally lost to the Pacers.
Howard's performance against Noah and Randolph's double tower inside line was constrained, so the Magic's performance naturally could not be achieved.
In the West, the most popular match between the Spurs and the Mavericks finally won 103-98.
The Spurs have changed their positions this season, and Popovich has begun to try to use the "hammer tactics" he developed.
Although 98 points were not high, their performance was close to perfection and there were basically no major mistakes on the field.
However, they still never played against the Mavericks in the end, because the Mavericks performed perfectly!
And Nowitzki took away the game in a flash at the last moment.
In the remaining three groups of games, the Grizzlies narrowly defeated the Trail Blazers, the Clippers easily defeated the Thunder, and the Warriors... beat the Hornets 58 points.
It's 58 again!
If so many people have almost forgotten the existence of "58 Long", then the game will be the loudest reminder after the game.
The Hornets had the chance to close the score at the last moment, but unfortunately, Jarrett Jack's open throw missed and the score difference was frozen at 58 points.
When the camera was given to Delong, his face turned green.
Perhaps next season, New Orleans fans will not see Deron wearing the Hornets jersey.
In the eight opening matches of the first round, there was no big upset, and they basically reflected the strength of the two sides.
To be continued...
