Amid the blue and white confettis all over the sky, the Thunder's regular season came to an end.

They defeated the Spurs in the last game, scored the best 73 wins and 9 losses, creating a miracle.

The moment Li Liang raised his hands high at the moment the buzzer sounded, he created another amazing historical record.

The applause and cheers from all directions are as intoxicating as wine. No matter how many times or how many cups are, they will not be boring.

Donovan, Mike Brown, the players on the Thunder bench, and the two working guys in suits, all came forward to celebrate this historic achievement.

To be honest, Durant and Westbrook still had some regrets. At such a historic moment, they were unable to stand on the court but sat on the bench, which was a pity.

But there was no way. In order to complete his final performance, Li Liang used a hair dryer to blow the world and the ground. The management and coaching staff felt that if Durant and Westbrook got on, his legs broke in the second quarter and the cruciate ligament torn in the third quarter, he finally decided not to let the two of them go.

Li Liang's single-core performance was not disappointing. In this game, he scored 27 points, 21 assists, 13 rebounds, and 3 steals, and a large triple-double, leading the Thunder to defeat the Spurs.

The last two games have a very big bonus on him.

One game is 50 points, one game is triple-double, and they defeat all the top four teams in the Western Conference.

It can be said that it proves to people that the data and performance of my Bruce Lee Tak appearing is just because my teammates and the team are too strong and I don’t need to play well.

Indeed, throughout the season, Li Liang seemed to be Sun Wukong who had passed the super-heavy training suit. He never showed his full strength and had never entered Saiyan mode.

His [Heavenly King] state only appeared once, which shows that his concentration and intensity have not been mentioned to the top.

Mike Brown was quite satisfied with Li Liang's performance in the last two games. He knew that Li Liang's strength did not decline throughout the season, but continued to improve. It was just because the Thunder lineup was too good that he kept keeping the game.

The tiger always tightens his minions, and it is about to go all out in the playoffs.

After winning the best 73 wins, the Energy Center celebrated a grand celebration.

The PBC consortium belonging to the Thunder, two big bosses Bennett and Caesar, both came to the scene and went to the locker room to congratulate the team.

Because the two generals did not make a debut in the last game, there was no absolute certainty to win, and two representatives from the eight bosses came.

After all, if you lose, it would be quite embarrassing for eight people to go for a trip.

Don’t think that the Thunder is a small club, that’s the past.

After they were acquired by the PBC Consortium in 2014, they were one of the most economically powerful teams in the league.

Big boss Caesar is worth tens of billions and is a giant in the energy fields such as oil and gas. Basketball is just a small investment for him.

If these big bosses could have come earlier, Thunder would not have given an ultimatum for Harden's salary.

I can only say that timing is really important sometimes.

Fortunately, Li Liang chose Thunder, which is equivalent to the time to choose them.

In the locker room, Caesar met Li Liang, shook hands with him, and congratulated him.

This was the second time the two met, the last time was when Li Liang signed with Thunder.

I can only say that unless these real big bosses love basketball, they mostly regard basketball as a business.

There are still very few bosses like Ballmer and Cuban who love basketball.

And he doesn't want to love someone like Bass. Does the Bass family have that strength?

Facing Caesar, Li Liang said, don’t worry, you will congratulate me again in a month.

...

After winning this victory, 73 wins instantly seized all the headlines.

Throughout the season, the Thunder can be said to be smooth sailing, and at the beginning it encountered a little bit of running-in problem.

This problem was quickly solved because of Li Liang's "sacrifice".

At major forums, the calls for Li Liang to be qualified to win the MVP and the sixth person double awards are getting higher and higher.

You should know that public opinion has a great impact on current MVP selection.

In the early years, the MVP selection was left to players to vote.

The advantage of player voting is that the players themselves know the most who is the most awesome existence on the court.

This feeling is the most intuitive and cannot be replaced by the bystanders, so MVP is often the person with the strongest personal strength.

The disadvantage is that players don’t consider the overall team, such as the impact of a certain player on the entire team.

Because the people selected are all opponents, such as Jabbar and Russell, they only know that they are strong, but they don’t know whether they are there or not. What is the major impact on the team, that is the opponent’s team.

These things are also the criteria for evaluating "most valuable" players.

As bystanders, fans and critics often see these things more clearly.

So there is a second method of selection, which is left to basketball media and commentators for selection.

From a more objective and holistic perspective, we will select a player who is strong in the season and has the greatest influence on the team and the league.

Now, fans voting has also been added, of course there is only one vote.

Judging from the current public opinion trend, Li Liang has decided to make this vote.

As for the number of other votes, it depends on the media and how the commentators weigh.

After all, Stephen Curry also played a stunning season.

Unfortunately, on April 12, after the Thunder won the best record in history, by April 13, the Warriors' last game was less noticeable.

They face the Grizzlies at home and win the ball to tie the best record set by the Chicago Bulls.

This is also a very amazing achievement.

But competitive sports, winners take all.

Especially NBA basketball, there is always only one first.

When people run and swim, they have a silver medal or a bronze medal, which is also considered a ranking.

As for football, there are championships in the league, and there are also many cup matches of all sizes.

Only NBA, the championship is the highest, and the division champion is just the meaning. Many fans don’t even know what the division champion trophy looks like.

As for those who can't even score in the division finals, they deserve to be ridiculed.

As a result, on April 13, the Warriors lost to the Grizzlies at home.

Because the Grizzlies ranked ninth in the West, if they lose the last game, they will still be at the back due to the victory or defeat relationship.

So they have to win.

So, the Grizzlies fought hard in this game and went all out.

As for the Warriors, it doesn't make much sense to win 72 wins, so the main player chose to rest and concentrate on preparing for the playoffs.

The Grizzlies defeated the Warriors away and successfully won the last ticket to the playoffs.

At this point, the NBA regular season for the 2015-2016 season has all ended.

Eight playoff teams in the Western Conference are released, the Thunder, Warriors, Spurs, Lakers, Rockets, Clippers, Trail Blazers, and Grizzlies.

The eight teams in the East are the Cavaliers, Raptors, Heats, Hawks, Celtics, Hornets, Pistons and Bulls.

The East is simply a zoo and zoo administrator, and compared with the West, there is only one who can fight.

Except for the Cavaliers and Raptors, there is no third team in the East that has a record of 50 wins.

The West is an unprecedented two teams with 70 wins.

Of course, in the playoffs, the regular season record is empty.

Eliminating opponents in 7 series is the real thing.

For the Thunder, 73 wins are honor and burden.

The only effect of regular season record in the playoffs is that it can give you one more home game in the series.

Apart from that, there is no meaning.

This is also the reason why many famous stars and champion-level teams are not very concerned about the regular season.

The benefits of getting the first name are too small.

And just after the Thunder got the best record and surpassed the Chicago Bulls, the old guys were ready to move.

For example, Rodman stood up and said, "We didn't play well in many games back then, and 72 wins are not a reflection of our strength."

Pippen said, "If you can't win the championship, everything will be empty."

Even Jordan spoke, "The regular season record is just the icing on the cake, and the championship is the real honor."

It is normal for old players to have ideas, after all, it is not their era. Ideas that each generation is worse than the next always exist.

But they seemed to have forgotten one thing, the Thunder had Bruce Lee's.

His team never missed the playoffs.
Chapter completed!
