Chapter 701 The Finale of the Regular Season ([-])
2004年4月14日，03-04赛季NBA常规赛最后一轮比赛打完，纯替补阵容的小牛队以98比93战胜了同样是纯替补阵容的火箭队，这样小牛队就取得了本赛季常规赛的No.70胜，他们成为了NBA历史上第三支拿到七十胜的球队。

After the Rockets opened the victory against the Nuggets, they continued to maintain a stable state. Yao Min finally showed the role of his low-post killer. In the last few games, Yao Min averaged 25.3 points per game. Points and 10.9 rebounds, his outstanding performance has applauded the entire league. Under Yao Min's brave performance, the Rockets secured the seventh place in the Western Conference two games ahead of schedule, successfully avoiding the Mavericks, and the Nuggets Although the team unexpectedly lost two games in the last few games, it is a pity that the Jazz did not seize the opportunity to catch up with the Nuggets, so the Jazz can only regrettably rank ninth in the West.

The regular season came to an end, the rankings of the East and the West were finally finalized, and the playoff matchup became clear. The teams began to seize the last time to prepare for the upcoming playoffs.

The eight teams in the West that have advanced to the playoffs are: Dallas Mavericks, Minnesota Timberwolves, Los Angeles Lakers, San Antonio Spurs, Sacramento Kings, Memphis Grizzlies, Houston Rockets and Denver Nuggets. The Mavericks and the Nuggets will decide to advance to the Western Conference Semifinals.

Although the Rockets avoided the Mavericks, the Timberwolves are not an easy team to deal with. However, according to the Rockets' style of play, it is not impossible to fight against the Timberwolves. First of all, Yao Min has an advantage in this point. Advancement to the next round depends on whether the Rockets can reasonably connect the inside and outside lines while doing a good job of defense.

The Timberwolves are actually quite reluctant to meet the Rockets in the playoffs. After all, the presence of Yao Min will reduce Garnett's advantage in the interior. Playing against other teams, Garnett may be able to rely on his mobility and interior ability to play his own characteristics. , But the Rockets are a team that is good at shrinking defense. Facing such a team, the Timberwolves are actually more guilty.

This round of the match between the Lakers and the Grizzlies is actually quite interesting. After all, the current general manager of the Grizzlies is Jerry West, a former legend of the Lakers. However, various media predict that the ending of this round of the series will be relatively Obviously, after all, the emerging Grizzlies cannot be the opponent of the "F4" Lakers.

The most interesting series in the first round of the playoffs in the West is the duel between the Spurs and the Kings. The duel between the two teams with very clear styles and characteristics is bound to spark sparks, and the strength of the two teams The gap is not too big. At the same time, the head coaches of the two teams are also famous coaches in the NBA. The media predicts that this round of the series will be played to the seventh game.

The Eastern Conference teams that advanced to the playoffs are: Indiana Pacers, New Jersey Nets, Detroit Pistons, Miami Heat, New Orleans Hornets, Milwaukee Bucks, New York Knicks and Boston Celtics people team.

There is no suspense in the series between the Pacers and the Celtics. Liu Han's friend Pierce still needs to continue to sharpen. Although the Celtics have scored in the top eight in the Eastern Conference, the team's management is still relatively chaotic. They now need a The powerful head coach completely shattered the previous "glory" and started all over again.

The duel between the Nets and the Knicks can be called a battle in the same city. After all, many fans living in New Jersey work in New York. The Nets are like the "poor relatives" of the Knicks, but now this "poor relative" is preparing to Against his big brother.

The Nets hold high the banner of offense in the defensive style prevailing in the Eastern Conference. The team has scorers on the outside, excellent point guards, and Kenyon Martin on the inside. It can be said that it is much stronger than the Knicks in terms of strength. , and the Knicks are now on the verge of turmoil. Stephon Marbury's aloof character and style of play have made him many enemies in the Knicks, and there is no relationship between him and the team's general manager Isaiah Thomas. The harmony between the two sides began to gradually become apparent.

The media predicts that the Nets will end this round of the series within five to six games.

There is no suspense in the series between the Pistons and the Bucks. The Bucks have reached the playoffs by relying on outside shooting, but obviously, their playoff experience is not enough. At the same time, the core of the team Michael Reid He also lacks enough "lethal" weapons. It is difficult for him to shake the defense of the Pistons. Moreover, the Pistons now have Rasheed Wallace, who has a high position to attract defense. It can be said that the Pistons now have no obvious shortcomings. .

Perhaps the closest round of series in the Eastern Conference is the duel between the Heat and the Hornets. These two teams were not favored by the media at the beginning of the season, but they have sprung up in the Eastern Conference, and the Heat even entered the Eastern Conference. Four.

However, the media is optimistic about the Heat. After all, the Heat have a wealth of experience in the playoffs, and their style of play is relatively brave, and there are no obvious loopholes in defense. The Hornets mainly attack from the outside. Point guard Byron David Adams is strong, but the Hornets have a big problem defensively.

The regular season has come to an end, and the selection of various individual honors has also begun. The Mavericks will undoubtedly become the biggest winner.

With an average of 29.9 points per game, Liu Han overwhelmed McGrady's 28.0 points per game to become the scoring leader this season, and Liu Han also became the second season since "Big O" Robertson to average a triple-double Liu Han also averaged 10.3 rebounds and 10.6 assists per game this season.

The rebounding champion was won by Garnett. He has fully played out his worth of [-] million yuan this season. If Liu Han did not exist, he would definitely be the MVP of this season's regular season.

The assists king was taken away by Jason Kidd. Kidd averaged only 0.1 more assists per game than Liu Han. It can be said that he narrowly won it. After Stockton retired, few point guards in the league could With an average of more than 12 assists per game next season, I believe that no one will be able to shake Stockton's historical assist title in the future.

The leader in blocked shots was won by Theo Ratliff of the Trail Blazers, averaging 3.6 blocked shots per game.

The steals king was won by Baron Davis, with an average of 2.4 steals per game, which is a new low in recent years. Iverson has been plagued by injuries this season and has not continued his glory of the league's steals king.

In addition to the honors of these individual statistics, some other honors need to be selected, but the MVP and the best coach are basically affirmed. If Liu Han and Nelson are not elected, all fans around the world will question the fairness of the NBA.

The Mavericks actually don't value these honors very much. They are now gearing up to make a big splash in the playoffs.
