Chapter 139 Final Battle

Before you know it, another month has passed, and the regular season is drawing to a close.

With Kyrie Irving injured in the No. 60 game season, the Celtics have lost the ability to compete for the first place in the East.But their second place in the Eastern Conference is still secure.

Now that the Celtics are gone without Irving, the outside world is generally not optimistic that they can go far in the playoffs.The teams ranked sixth, seventh, and eighth in the East are also scrambling to lose or win, with the goal of meeting the Celtics without Kyrie Irving in the first round of the playoffs.

So far, all the teams have played 81 games, and tonight the entire league will play the finale.

The top five in the East have been determined, namely:

The Toronto Raptors are 59-22.
Boston Celtics 54-27,
Orlando Magic 52-29,
The Philadelphia 76ers are 51-30,
Cleveland Cavaliers 50-31,
As for the sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth places, the records are 43 wins, 42 wins, 42 wins, and 41 wins.

In the final stage of the game, the Orlando Magic will face the Washington Wizards who are seventh in the Eastern Conference.

The situation of the Wizards can be said to be the most embarrassing. They also want to play the Boston Celtics in the first round, but their final ranking is not in their hands... If they win, they may become the sixth in the Eastern Conference , if you lose, you may not be able to enter the playoffs directly...

The Orlando Magic have been determined to be third in the Eastern Conference. Even if they lose this game and the 76ers win the game, the Magic still ranks ahead of the 76ers because of their record advantage.

An Xiaonan has played a total of 78 games so far this season. He just finished his rotation in the last game. Tonight, he will face John Wall, one of the strongest point guards in the Eastern Conference. An Xiaonan will naturally play.

他打得这78场比赛里，首发打了74场，场均可以得到22.6分8.4个助攻5.9个篮板1.7个抢断2.9次失误，投篮命中率48.5％，三分命中率37.6％，罚球命中率88.4％。

Up to now, the status of the best rookie is still a mystery, and no one can determine who is the best rookie.

因为费城76人的本西蒙斯本赛季场均可以得到15.8分8.1个篮板8.2个助攻1.7个抢断3.1个失误，投篮命中率54.5％，三分命中率0.0％，罚球命中率56.0％。

After the All-Star Game, he averaged a triple-double and led the 76ers to a 15-game winning streak, eventually allowing the 76ers to achieve 50 wins.

In terms of statistics, Simmons is more versatile than An Xiaonan. In terms of record, Simmons is slightly behind in the duel with An Xiaonan.

而反观西部犹他爵士的另一个最佳新秀的热门候选多诺万米切尔，他场均可以得到20.5分3.7个篮板3.7个助攻1.7个抢断3.2次失误，投篮命中率43.7％，三分命中率34.0％，罚球命中率80.5％。在数据上没有疑问输给了安笑南和西蒙斯，战绩上也是48胜34负排西部第五输给两人。

But no one thought that in the next playoffs, he would face the triple-double superstar Russell Westbrook and beat Westbrook into a fool...

It is the night of April 4th.

An Xiaonan led Roland into the Amway Arena in plain casual clothes.

Tonight is their final game. The Washington Wizards will definitely try their best to beat them in order to enter the playoffs. An Xiaonan is not that nervous.His goal tonight is not to win, but to have a live showdown with the Wizards.

When An Xiaonan walked into the arena, there was a burst of flashing lights. An Xiaonan has long been used to this kind of star-like treatment.

He just held Roland's soft hand quietly, and led Roland into the Amway Arena like a handsome gentleman.

When he came to the player's tunnel, several security guards and staff members who were already familiar with him greeted him one after another. After a season of training, An Xiaonan seemed to have become the master of this arena and this city.

Everyone is looking forward to An Xiaonan's performance in the playoffs. After all, this is the first time the Magic has entered the playoffs in several years and achieved such a good ranking.

John Wall was under a lot of pressure, wearing Apple headphones to walk in the player tunnel, and his destination was the bathroom.

Coincidentally, An Xiaonan also had to go to the bathroom.

This is almost his habit before the game. He must go to the toilet to relieve his hand 5 minutes before entering the game.

An Xiaonan and John Wall met at the bathroom door.

The Magic and the Wizards have played three games before, and the Magic have achieved 2 wins and 1 loss.Although the Magic has the upper hand, An Xiaonan has never defeated John Wall.

安笑南场均得到21分7.5个助攻3.5个篮板2个抢断3个失误，而沃尔则场均25.5分10.5个助攻3个篮板1.5个抢断3个失误。

It can be said that Wall suppressed An Xiaonan in statistics.

An Xiaonan looked at the expressionless John Wall: "Good evening."

"It's the last game." Wall responded lightly.

An Xiaonan nodded: "This time I must win you."

"Not allowed." Wall was very cold, and he was already facing the game tonight with the mentality of fighting to the death.After all, one carelessness may ruin the Wizards' chance to enter the playoffs.

In fact, Wall himself can't figure it out. His average of 20+10 per game this season is already the peak Paul's data. Why the Wizards' record is always unsatisfactory.

Moreover, Wall's 20+10 data did not enter the All-Stars.

Is he too low-key?Obviously not, there must be other reasons for the unsatisfactory record of the Wizards.

"Then, see you later." After relieving his hand, An Xiaonan greeted Wall with a smile, and then walked to the locker room.

Entering the locker room, everyone's eyes turned to An Xiaonan.

In the last month, Vogel stipulated that An Xiaonan must speak before the game because he needs to exercise his leadership.

An Xiaonan glanced at the crowd and said, "You don't seem to care about this match?"

No one speaks, everyone looks at me and I look at you.

An Xiaonan continued: "I don't want to see someone relax this game because our playoff ranking has been determined. Even if this game is the last game, we should go all out. Because we must respect our opponents .”

Gordon nodded in agreement: "Ann is right, the best way to respect an opponent is to go all out."

"So, I hope that those brothers who have the idea of ​​relaxing will change their minds. I believe that many of you here are going to play the playoffs for the first time like me. We lack experience, so we can't relax even more." An Xiao Nan continued.
