Chapter 386 I know how to win
48 wins and 34 losses, with a winning rate of 58%, ranking fourth in the East.
This record looks pretty good, but if it is on Wang Xiao, it would be different.
This is the worst record since Wang Xiao started coaching the NBA team. Even when he coached the Wizards for the first time, he led the Wizards to win more than 50 games in regular wins, and then he won 60+ games in succession, even breaking the Bulls' regular season record of 72 wins.
But no one would question Wang Xiao's coaching level decline.
Back then and now were completely different.
Although the Wizards were in trouble at the beginning, there were two All-Star players in the team, Jamison and Butler, and a superstar general Arenas as bargaining chips.
But when Wang Xiao took over the Bucks, who were there in the Bucks?
There is not even an All-Star in the team, and the highest salary in the entire team is a substitute center Larry Sanders who can basically not play.
This is not a fair comparison, not to mention that the East is completely different from a few years ago.
When Wang Xiao first coached the Wizards, it was still the traditional era when the West was strong and the East was weak. The strong teams and competitiveness in the West were much greater than those in the East.
But in recent years, the situation has changed a lot. Anthony Deron transferred to the East and the Nets got Jeremy Lin... The most important thing is that under the leadership of Wang Xiao, the Wizards have grown into a giant that the entire league needs to look up to!
Although the East, where many strong teams have risen, cannot be said to have surpassed the West, it is by no means as simple as people always say that the West is strong and the East is weak.
In such an Eastern Conference, a group of rookie rookies won 48 wins and ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference, which is already a very impressive achievement!
...
When the regular season officially ended, the teams entering the playoffs in the East and West were ranked as follows: Eastern Conference team, the first place in Washington Wizards: 65 wins and 17 losses.
Second place Cleveland Cavaliers: 60 wins and 22 losses.
Third place Brooklyn Nets: 52 wins and 30 losses.
Fourth place Milwaukee Bucks: 48 wins and 34 losses.
Atlanta Hawks ranked fifth: 46 wins and 36 losses.
Sixth place Chicago Bulls: 42 wins and 40 losses.
Seventh place Toronto Raptors: 41 wins and 41 losses.
The eighth place is the Boston Celtics: 38 wins and 44 losses.
In addition, the three teams from the ninth place, the Philadelphia 76ers, the 10th place New York Knicks and the 11th place Miami Heat are all one game away from the eighth Celtics. The 76ers even have the same record as the Celtics, but they are ranked ninth because of their wins and losses.
The Western Conference ranked first in the record: the Portland Trail Blazers 62 wins and 20 losses.
Second place Los Angeles Clippers: 58 wins and 24 losses.
Third place Memphis Grizzlies: 55 wins and 27 losses.
Fourth place San Antonio Spurs: 55 wins and 27 losses.
The fifth place is Sacramento Kings: 50 wins and 32 losses.
Sixth place Dallas Mavericks: 46 wins and 34 losses.
Seventh place New Orleans Pelicans: 44 wins and 38 losses.
Eighth place Oklahoma City Thunder: 42 wins and 20 losses.
In this way, the playoffs are also applied.
The fourth-ranked Bucks in the Eastern Conference will play a first-round playoff showdown with the fifth-place Hawks.
And with the end of the regular season, the honor of various statistics was born.
James Harden has accumulated a lot of strength this season, averaging 29.6 points per game as the scoring leader for the first time in his career. The Kings also entered the fifth place in the Western Conference under Harden's leadership, winning 50 wins. For a time, people praised Harden countless times. In the era when the season was reimbursed for the season and Wade struggled with injuries, Harden is the best shooting guard in the league!
The second in the scoring list is Russell Westbrook, who has 28.1 points.
The third place is Kevin Durant with 27.6 points.
This season would have been a disastrous season for Durant. He was injured and reimbursed after only 27 games, and the Thunder missed the playoffs.
However, due to the butterfly effect, Durant went to the Trail Blazers and was not injured this season. This season, he averaged 27.6 points, 8.2 rebounds, 5.5 assists per game, and performed very well. The Trail Blazers' record in the league is second only to the Wizards.
On the regular season MVP selection list this season, Durant has always been at the forefront, and there is a high probability that he will win the regular season MVP trophy.
Durant has been waiting for this regular season MVP trophy for a long time. According to the original history, he should have won the trophy in the 13-14 season, but the 73-win Wizards and Curry smashed his chance.
Fortunately, God is fair. He lost the regular season MVP trophy in the 13-14 season, and he also missed the serious injuries in the 14-15 season, and had great hope to win the regular season MVP trophy.
The judges were all aesthetically exhausted. Although the Wizards performed well this season, they won the best 65 wins of the season, compared to last season, they lost 8 more games.
Moreover, Curry's personal data this season is not excellent, with averaging 24.4 points per game only ranked sixth in the scoring list.
This is actually not a blame on Curry. The small score is not because of his decline in ability, but because the Wizards have too many talents.
With the talent of George, Leonard and others exploded, more and more offensive proportions were placed on them. This season, George Leonard scored 20 points, and Thompson averaged 16 points per game.
Butler and Green also need the ball and the number of shots, and the team can only further compress Curry's number of shots.
It is extremely difficult for Curry, who lost his personal data, to win the fourth regular season MVP in his career.
...
In the rebounding list, Jordan Jr. ranked first with 15.2 rebounds per game, while Whiteside followed closely with 14.7 rebounds. The competition between the two rebounding monsters for the rebounding king seems to be interesting. If you know that these two were developed by Wang Xiao’s mining, it would be even more interesting.
The assists king is Chris Paul, who averages 10.2 assists per game.
The blocking king was taken away by Anthony Davis, who averaged 2.9 per game.
The top spot in the steal list is Kawhi Leonard, who averages 2.4 steals per game.
...
The regular season ended, with some people happy and some people worried. The team that failed to enter the playoffs has announced the holiday, and the players disbanded on the spot and started their vacation early.
The teams with the top eight record in the East and West are ready to prepare for the playoffs!
"Maybe many of you are participating in the playoffs for the first time."
Wang Xiao looked at the players in front of him and said lightly: "But I can tell you clearly that I have rich experience in the playoffs! So you don't have to be nervous or worried at all. I know better than anyone how to win in the playoffs."
The players all looked at Wang Xiao, and no one questioned Wang Xiao's words.
This is natural. In his first coaching season in his career, Wang Xiao led the Wizards to the second round, and then won the O'Brien Cup three times in five years.
