Chapter 291 291. Playoff Ranking!The first man in history to win the best coach? !hassell irritated by jordan

With the official end of the regular season, the East and West playoff rankings have also been determined.

In the East, the Boston Celtics ranked first with a regular season record of 68 wins and 14 losses.

If this record is placed in previous years, it will definitely shock the fans and opponents, and it will definitely not be without the hype of the media.

It's a pity that the Memphis Grizzlies led by Luke have an epic record of 76 wins and 6 losses this season. This makes the Celtics, who sit on the Big Five, not only not recognized by the fans, but also become the object of crazy complaints from the fans .

But having said that, although the Celtics encountered the mighty Grizzlies unluckily this season, their record of 68 wins and 14 losses still set a new high in team history.

Although the Celtics, who played 68 wins under the pressure of the Grizzlies, are very depressed, but the Celtics are still one of the best teams in the active league.

Ranked second in the Eastern Conference is the Cleveland Cavaliers who successfully reinforced LeBron James during the offseason.

In the previous few seasons, the Cavaliers' record has always been at the forefront of the Eastern Conference, but the head star LeBron James has been complaining to the management that he has no helpers around him.

As one of the most outstanding superstars in the active league, LeBron James' ability to lead the team is obvious to all. In the past few years, he also led the Cavaliers to an upset, all the way to the NBA Finals and lost to the Timberwolves.

Even though the Grizzlies have shown unparalleled dominance in the last two seasons, the management still made a lot of reinforcements around LeBron James during the offseason.

Among them, the joining of Mo Williams and Ben Wallace instilled the soul of winning for this Cavaliers.

Paired with LeBron James with its own system, this season's Cavaliers are not only full of momentum, but in the end they are second only to the Celtics with a record of 67 wins and 15 losses, ranking second in the Eastern Conference.

Before the start of the new season, the outside world agreed that the Celtics will dominate the Eastern Conference this year without any suspense, and no team in the entire Eastern Conference can become the opponent of the Celtics.

At most, the Orlando Magic, which reached the finals last season, has the opportunity to cause trouble for the Celtics.

As a result, under the circumstances that no one expected, the knight stood out like a dark horse.

Not only is it not inferior to the Boston Celtics in terms of record, but it also defeated the Celtics twice in the regular season, maintaining an advantage with a record of two wins and one loss.

At present, no fans dare to underestimate the Cavaliers, and no fans think that the Cavaliers are not worthy of being the opponent of the Big Five Celtics.

If the Cavaliers and Celtics can meet in the playoffs, judging from the current competitive state of the two teams, it is indeed open to question who can advance smoothly.

Ranked third in the Eastern Conference is the Orlando Magic, which made it to the finals last season with an upset. This season, the Magic has not changed much in terms of lineup.

However, the joining of Courtney Lee and Pietrus made the Magic slightly stronger on the basis of the original lineup.

However, the Celtics and Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference this year are too perverted. If there is no accident, the Magic will stop at the semifinals at most, and it will be difficult to defeat the Cavaliers and Celtics to continue to advance to the finals.

As for the rankings four to eight are: Eagles, Heat, 76ers, Bulls, and Pistons.

It is worth mentioning that the Pistons obtained Allen Iverson through manipulation this year, but Iverson's competitive state has declined seriously this season.

Even if the Pistons eventually advance to the playoffs as the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference, the team's record this season is only 39 wins and 43 losses.

After Philip Sanders dismissed get out of class, the Pistons management did not sign a famous coach in the free market, but instead supported assistant coach Michael Curry.
In the end, the Pistons played a mess under the leadership of Michael Curry, even worse than when the old Santos coached last season.

This also made Detroit fans more and more dissatisfied with the cerebral palsy operation of the Pistons management, thinking that the Pistons management is a group of human pigs. Brain waste.

It is foreseeable that this season is not only Michael Curry's first season as a head coach, but also will be Michael Curry's last season as a head coach.

Unless Curry can lead the Pistons to play a black-eight miracle as the eighth seed and crush the Celtics with 68 wins and 14 losses in the regular season, Michael Curry's dismissal is inevitable.

However, the chances that Michael Curry can lead the Pistons to overthrow the Celtics are too low, rather than pinning their hopes on the miracle of the Black Eight.It's better to let Michael Curry reincarnate, and strive to seize the opportunity in the next life.

In the West, the No. 76 player is naturally the Memphis Grizzlies, who set a league record with 6 wins and [-] losses.

At present, the outside world is discussing whether Luke, who just won the best coach last season, can become the first coach in league history to win the COY consecutively.

You know, since the establishment of the NBA, no basketball coach has ever been elected as the best coach for two consecutive seasons.

After all, the selection criteria for the best coach is not only based on the team's record, but also depends on how many wins the head coach leads the team in the new season.

Otherwise, "Zen Master" Jackson, who holds eleven championship rings, would not have been elected the best coach only once.

Last season, under the leadership of the head coach Luke, the Grizzlies scored a team record of 66 wins and 16 losses. This season, while Luke led the team to the best record in history, he also helped the Grizzlies improve their overall performance. Ten wins.

If the selection criteria of previous years are followed, leading the team to [-] wins is not eligible for the best coach, and it is even difficult to enter the top five of the best coach rankings.

However, the difficulty for the Grizzlies to increase ten games this season is far beyond the conventional data. The record of 76 wins and 6 losses is still lingering in the fans' minds, and even many retired celebrities call the Grizzlies this season too much. crazy.

At present, Luke's call for the best coach is very high. In the entire league, only Cavaliers head coach Mike Brown and Blazers head coach McMillan have the opportunity to snatch the best coach from Luke.

These two new seasons have led the team to improve a lot of wins, and even in the middle of the season, they even led Luke in the list of the best coaches, making fans think that the best coaches of this season will be between Mike Brown and McMillan. produced between.

But as the Grizzlies have the best record of 76 wins and 6 losses in history, this year's best coach selection will become very interesting, even more exciting than the regular season MVP.

After all, throughout history, there has never been a coach in the league who has been elected as the best coach for two consecutive years.

Once Luke is re-elected this season, he will not only become the only coach in NBA history to win the best coach consecutively, but Luke, who holds three best coaches at the same time, will also tie the old Nelson and Pat Riley. Ranked first in history.

No matter who wins the best coach award this season, it is foreseeable that no matter who wins this year's best coach except Luke, they will become the object of collective crusade among the fans, and even be recognized as the best coach in the NBA. The best trainer with the most water ever.

If the team has an epic record of 76 wins and 6 losses and can't get the best coach, then the selection of the best coach is more like a joke.

Ranked second in the Western Conference is the Los Angeles Lakers coached by Dwayne Casey.

The Lakers still rank second in the West this season, second only to the Grizzlies, but the team's record has improved to 65 wins and 17 losses, which is obviously better than last season.

The excellent overall performance of the Lakers also made "Zen Master" Jackson once again pushed into the limelight by the media. Before that, the outside world had always questioned "Zen Master" Jackson's coaching ability.

But after Jackson returned, he brought the Lakers without O'Neal back to the playoffs stage, which made it difficult for the outside world to judge the level of Jackson's coaching ability.

Some people say that although Jackson is obsessed with the triangle offense, his research on the triangle offense is proficient. Jackson has the ability to bring any team into the playoffs.

Some people also questioned that Jackson would only join a team with many top stars in the team, and Jackson would not coach without the stars. If it weren't for Michael Jordan, Jackson would never reach the height he is now.

In the past few years, there has been no answer to the discussion in this regard, but this season "Zen Master" can be said to have blown his reputation to pieces.

Dwayne Casey used his strength to prove to the outside world that the Lakers who left Phil Jackson not only did not get worse, but became stronger than last season.

The reason why the Lakers can return to the playoffs is not how good Phil Jackson is, but because the team's lineup is luxurious.

Although comparing the Lakers with the Grizzlies is as ridiculous as a child's play, but looking at the entire league, the Lakers are definitely the best team.

Nothing is more convincing than the facts visible to the naked eye. The Lakers' record of 65 wins and 17 losses was like a hammer, hitting Phil Jackson's head hard, making Phil Jackson's already depressed mood even more depressed.

To make matters worse, the experience of coaching the New York Knicks almost wiped out the prestige accumulated by Phil Jackson in an instant.

"Zen Master" Jackson successfully used his get out of class to wake up everyone, proving to everyone that he really can't coach after leaving the star!
The Knicks' lackluster record this season made former head coach Thomas laugh his head off.

At least the performance of the Knicks is still so bad that it is not Thomas' responsibility to lose, but that this team is really hopeless!

Even the "Zen Master" Jackson couldn't move the Knicks, and even in just half a season, he ruined his reputation for the rest of his life. Thomas really can't blame him for this.

In this regard, Isiah Thomas, who went to the NCAA as the head coach of the university, also faced the media in a good mood and said: "Phil's experience reminds me of the dark and dull years at that time. Everyone is questioning my bad coaching. Level, no one believes that the Knicks team is really hopeless."

"Even if I chew my tongue, the outside world is still full of doubts and abuse of me. Until now, Phil has cleaned up my stains with facts."

"Who would believe that Phil, who holds nine championship rings, can only lead the Knicks to the dick they are now. This is really a thing that makes people laugh."

"Thanks to Phil, thanks to Phil for bringing the Knicks record so bad this season, and thanks to Phil for getting out of class for the first time in his coaching career from the Knicks."

"Although this experience is a bit painful for you, don't be discouraged, more painful experiences are yet to come!"

Isiah Thomas' tone was full of excitement. I'm afraid Thomas has never been as happy as he is today since he left the NBA.

As the player who hates Michael Jordan the most in NBA history, Thomas is also full of disgust for the old man Jackson.

Now that he has the opportunity to clean up his own stains, he can also satirize the Zen master, which makes Thomas think that he is in heaven, full of surprises around him.

However, Thomas' happiness was based on the pain of the "Zen Master" Jackson, who was once again pulled out by the fans to flog his corpse, and almost died suddenly at home with a black line on his face.

"Isaiah! You crazy dog!"

Ranked third in the West is the Portland Trail Blazers, also formed by the leaders of the youth army.

The overall age of the Blazers this season is very young, even comparable to the Memphis Grizzlies who set off a youth storm in the league.

As a team that could only miss the playoffs last season, the Blazers jumped to the third position in the Western Conference this season. In addition to the obvious improvement of the main players, the credit of the head coach McMillan cannot be ignored.

According to statistics, the Blazers are the team with the sixth highest scoring average in the league this season. While the offensive firepower is abundant, the Blazers' defensive efficiency also ranks fourth in the league. They are a team with both offense and defense in the true sense!
Like the Grizzlies, Celtics, Lakers, and Cleveland Cavaliers, the Trail Blazers are one of the few teams that can rank in the top six in the league in offensive and defensive efficiency this season.

It is precisely because of this that McMillan and Mike Brown can become Luke's opponents for the best coach.

It's a pity that although the young Blazers are almost the same age as the Memphis Grizzlies, the team background is not a little bit worse.

The entire Blazers' offensive end relies too much on Brandon Roy and Aldridge.

Since "The Great" Oden did not play the data expected by the fans, his average performance of 9 points and 7 rebounds per game this season can only be regarded as quite satisfactory.

Even at the end of the season, head coach McMillan once put Oden on the bench and treated him as a sixth man to deal with the game, which also led to the Blazers' extreme lack of offensive options.

Once entering the more competitive playoffs, the chances of the Blazers being able to counterattack and win the championship are less than 5%, which is why ESPN has never rated the Portland Trail Blazers as the favorite to win this season.

Ranked fourth is the Spurs led by "Mad Dog" Eddie Jordan. The Spurs' opponent in the first round of the playoffs will be the Dallas Mavericks. If the Spurs can pass the Mavericks in the first round of the playoffs, there is a high probability of the semifinals Meet the grizzly.

For Eddie Jordan, a stinking bastard, the Grizzlies have long been prepared to teach him a lesson. Once the Spurs beat the Mavericks and advance to the Western Conference semifinals, Luke will definitely let Eddie Jordan taste what it means to be a puller. Riblan's pain!

Especially the hot-tempered Trenton Hassell, when he learned of the personal grievances between Luke and Eddie Jordan, Hassell directly uttered harsh words to Eddie Jordan: "Advice from those who have experienced it, I hope that when coaching the game, it will be the best." It is best not to stand on the sidelines, or you will become very dangerous!"

Facing the threat from Trenton Hassell, Eddie Jordan showed no fear at all: "Crazy. Dogs are crazy. Dogs! They are useless on the court except to bite everyone!"

Eddie Jordan's reply obviously angered the villain Trenton Hassell. As a well-known thug in the league, Hassell sneered coldly, "I hope you will still be as tough as you are today!"

Trenton Hassel is not a player who likes to fight very much, compared to Artest who can't control his emotions and often conflicts with others.

Hassell will not easily commit murder and hurt people on the field, but once Trenton Hassell wants to make a move, the following scene will definitely become very bloody, far more bloody than Artest and Ben Wallace There are many insidious attacks.

Eddie Jordan, as the league's recognized "talker", can be said to have offended the Grizzlies from beginning to end.
If it weren't for the later part of the season, in order to hit the best record in history, Artest couldn't help rushing to the Spurs bench, punching Eddie Jordan's stinky mouth.

With the official end of the regular season, Eddie Jordan's fate will not be too good, and now Eddie Jordan has annoyed Trenton Hassell. interesting.

As for the teams ranked fifth to eighth, they are the Mavericks, Rockets, Jazz, and Suns.

The Grizzlies' opponent in the first round of the playoffs is the Phoenix Suns led by former Grizzlies assistant coach Gentry.

The overall strength of the Suns is not weak at all, but the overall strength of the Western Conference teams this year has been improved one after another.

Due to the poor quality of the schedule, the Suns were severely pitted by the Jazz teamed up with the Rockets in the later period, and they had no choice but to slip to the eighth place in the Western Conference. They could only face the invincible Grizzlies in the first round of the playoffs.

When he learned that he was going to challenge the Memphis Grizzlies in the first round of the playoffs, the Suns head coach Alvin Gentry looked very hopeless.

The entire league knows how terrible the Grizzlies are this season, but Alvin Gentry, who served as the Grizzlies assistant coach last season, knows that the Grizzlies are far more terrifying than people see!
Especially the coaching team formed by Luke and Lambiel is simply the most unreasonable black and evil forces in the NBA!

Although the private friendship between Luke and Gentry, the Grizzlies will probably not deceive too much in this round of the series, but Gentry, who was slaughtered by the Grizzlies three times in the regular season, is still very uncomfortable.

In an interview with the media, Gentry did not show confidence before the series like other head coaches, and tried to take the lead for the players. Even if the two teams have a huge gap, they must overwhelm each other in terms of momentum .

Gentry is very clear that the Suns have no chance of winning in this round of the series. It is already a miracle that the entire series can not be swept.

So in the face of the media, Gentry simply joked and showed a touch of bitterness, "There is absolutely no one more unlucky than me. In the first season as the head coach, facing the Grizzlies with 76 wins is simply lower than the odds of winning the lottery. .”

"I worked as an assistant coach in the Grizzlies last season. No one knows better than me how strong this Grizzlies will bring people. A strong sense of oppression."

"In this round of the series, the Suns will definitely go all out, and the only thing Solar can do is to go all out."

Gentry's bitter look also attracted the ridicule of Lakers coach Casey, "I really envy you can meet the Grizzlies in the first round of the playoffs, unlike me, it will take a long time to meet."
