After losing the Christmas game, the Warriors once fell into a period of downturn.

Their hole card "Five of Death" lost its effect in front of the Lakers, which is just like the fighting skills in martial arts novels being broken, it is directly fatal.

Fans can say what a game can't say, but the Warriors' coaching staff can't.

Because at that point, Old Nelson already knew it was going to die.

So in January, the best month for the Lakers, it was also the most struggling month for the Warriors.

Nelson Sr. increased Oden's playing time and stopped using five-point tactics in several games.

But it turns out that's not for the Warriors.

Because Oden plays for a long time, it means that the overall offensive rhythm of the Warriors will slow down, and the power of the small ball will also decrease.

Therefore, the Warriors' record in January has ups and downs, and in the end they were overtaken by the Lakers to top the division.

In February, the excellent state of a player made Nelson finally decide to switch back to his original style of play.

Ibaka.

After a month of slump, Ibaka ushered in a strong rebound in February. In several games in February, he shot 2% from the outside!

That's a pretty scary number for a big man.

No one knows what happened to Ibaka, but what is certain is that he must have worked hard behind the scenes to achieve this.

And good things come in pairs, Oden's state after the All-Star break is also very good.

The result is that after you sing and we come on stage, January will be the stage for the Lakers, and February will be for the Warriors.

Throughout February, the Warriors also achieved a wave of 2 wins and 12 losses!

And after entering March, such a strong performance remains unabated!

This also revived the fans' sense of expectation.

Because if the Lakers want to win the championship, they have to pass the Warriors.

Even if they lose in the Christmas game, but they are the Dynasty team after all, and they are in good condition, it is hard to say who will win in the end.

And it's not just the Warriors, but several teams that are capable of contending for the championship are all getting better after the All-Star Game!

It is inevitable that people will associate this with Yao Ming's previous remarks.

Well, most teams this season won't give you the championship for nothing!

Especially on the western side, they were going to compete fiercely with each other for the playoff spots, but now they are fighting even more fiercely.

Just after this hand-to-hand combat, the regular season of the 2012~2013 season also came to an end, and the final rankings were also announced.

First the east side.

The Knicks are also in hot form after the All-Star break.

After the final season, their record is 64 wins and 18 losses!

This record refreshed the Knicks' best record in team history!

The addition of Hibbert has an immediate effect on the improvement of the team's strength.

This record also made everyone in the Knicks happy.

Especially Stephen A. Smith, a hardcore New York faction in the commentary.

In the latest episode of the program, Smith expressed his emotions with his very personal commentary.

"The Los Angeles Lakers will be the champions, the Golden State Warriors will be the champions, no! The New York Knicks are! Look at the current lineup of the Knicks. They are more reasonable than the Lakers and Warriors. They have three histories at the same time. Superstars, this season is their season to win the championship!"

Smith's remarks can be described as the true voice of hardcore New Yorkers.

However, it is also understandable that from the Ewing era to the present, the Knicks have never tasted the taste of a championship.

Now that they finally have such an opportunity, can they not have a carnival once!

The Bulls are second with a 60-22 record.

There are two teams in the East with a record of 60 wins, which is a rare thing in recent years.

On the one hand, the strength of the two teams is indeed superior. On the other hand, the strength of other teams in the East is indeed much worse than it was a few years ago.

The most direct manifestation is that the third-ranked Pacers only have a record of 49 wins, which is obviously a notch weaker in terms of record.

The 4th to 8th places are the Eagles, Pistons, Bucks, Wizards, and Celtics.

Then there's the west side.

Relying on their strength in the second half, the Warriors finally achieved the league's first record of 65 wins and 17 losses!

Whether the Warriors are the best talent in history is still up for debate, but there is no doubt that they must be the best active player.

And the background of the dynasty team is also there, they still have a very good chance to achieve the goal of four consecutive championships set at the beginning of the season.

After the Warriors, the Lakers ranked second, and they finally won 60 wins.

The Lakers can undoubtedly be labeled "successful" this season.

Although there were some ups and downs in the record in the first two months, the team's performance after entering January met or even exceeded the expectations of the fans.

And what's more pleasing to Lakers fans is the overall performance of the team.

He averaged 106 points per game, conceded 100.2 points per game, and scored 5.8 points per game.

This is already a pretty good set of data.

And in terms of personal statistics, Sun Hao and Yao Ming's two core statistics are also quite excellent.

Yao Ming averaged 26.7 points, 11.7 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game, all of which are new highs in recent seasons.

Sun Hao averaged 32.5 points, 4.1 rebounds and 8.7 assists per game, ranking first in the league in scoring.

This is the fourth scoring champion of his career, and also the league's scoring champion for the second consecutive year!

One thing I have to admit is that the addition of the triangle offense to the superstar's personal data is very intuitive.

Because this is not just a matter of personal scoring ability, you must know that not all games are played until the last moment. In many games, the winner is decided in the third quarter, and Sun Hao and Yao Ming have long been sitting on the sidelines.

So you can also understand that in the third quarter of many games, the data of the two people has approached or reached their average data per game!

This is very scary.

Ranked third is the Spurs, they won 58 wins!

This is absolutely unexpected to most people, just like ESPN ranked the Spurs eighth before the start of the season!

But in the end, the Spurs, who were one year older, overwhelmed the popular teams and ranked third!

The only one who is not surprised is Sun Hao.

Because Sun Hao knew that after Leonard joined, the Spurs won the championship again.

This year, the Spurs also made it to the finals in history, and they were defeated by the Heat's Big Three until the tie-breaker. Then the famous "the future is yours" stalk the next day, successfully reached the top with revenge.

So this Spurs' ability to reach this position is not due to luck, but to real strength.

And the third position of the Spurs means that if the game goes to the conference semifinals, the Lakers are likely to encounter the Spurs again.

This is something that hasn't happened in the past few years, and it will be the first time Sun Hao has returned to the Lakers.

Thinking of the scene when Sun Hao was angry with Popovich when he first entered the league, it would be very interesting to meet again after many years.

Chapter 695 Sun Hao also sometimes hugs his thighs!

Ranked fourth is the Mavericks, who finally achieved 57 wins.

Deron was notorious for the "trustworthy incident" in the summer, but he performed very well in the Mavericks, averaging 17.6 points and 7.9 assists per game this season.

And the Lone Ranger team has a reasonable configuration, and they have more possibilities in the playoffs.

The Clippers are in fifth place with 55 wins.

Kobe did not suffer from devastating injuries like in history, and his performance is still outstanding.

However, Howard was deeply affected by his back injury and his performance was not as good as before. In addition, Gasol has not been able to get out of his ex-girlfriend's derailment. In the end, the position of the Clippers has become a bit embarrassing.

Because this ranking means that they will fight against the Lone Ranger in the first round.

Moreover, the strength of the teams in the Western Conference this year is no longer a question of whether there is a competition system or not. There are only four places in the upper half.

The Grizzlies are sixth with 54 wins.

In the end, like the Bulls in history, Rose's health has become a key factor restricting the team's upper limit.

Fortunately, in the absence of Rose, Gasol has grown rapidly.

And Rose recovered from his injury before the end of the season, which makes them actually stronger than the rankings reflect.

The Thunder rank seventh with 54 wins.

Another game with the same record and different wins and losses, the Thunder can only rank seventh.

But you said that you won 54 wins and took seventh place. No one would believe it in any season before this!

But this season's West is so cruel.

However, like the Grizzlies, the Thunder have shown a further run-in this season, and their combat power should not be underestimated.

The Hornets rank eighth in the West with 44 wins.

It is easy to see that there is a record gap between seventh and eighth.

In fact, after the Hornets, the remaining Western Conference teams have no record of more than 40 games, and the last-to-last Timberwolves have a single-digit win!

Poor performance is one factor, and the bigger factor is still unbeatable!

The teams in the same district played the most times in the season, and most of the 50+60+ wins of those teams were played against them!

So if it wasn't for such a record, it would seem abnormal.

The rankings of the East and West are released, and the final matchup is also released.

In the East, Knicks VS Celtics, Bulls VS Wizards, Pacers VS Bucks, Eagles VS Pistons.

There are many suspenseful matches in these four groups, but if the fans pay the most attention, it must be the game between the Bulls and the Wizards.

In the past ten years, when the Wizards were still in the Yao Ming era, the two teams played against each other a lot in the playoffs, and they also won and lost each other.

And Harden averaged 26.1 points per game in his first season with the Wizards.

Fans will wait and see how he will perform in the playoffs.

One thing that is easily overlooked is that the league hasn't had a dominant shooting guard in a while since Wade.

In the west, Warriors VS Hornets, Lakers VS Thunder, Spurs VS Grizzlies, Mavericks VS Clippers.

Compared with the east, every group in the west is a highlight.

The most suspenseful game will definitely be the game between the Warriors and the Hornets.

For the Warriors, this is another warm-up game.

Why do you say "again"?

Because the Warriors also played the Hornets in the first round last year!

Most people may have forgotten the process of that round of the series, but what will not be forgotten is that the Warriors beat the Hornets by 58 points in one game!

Deron: This time it finally has nothing to do with me!

Get rid of this group without suspense, and the remaining three groups are full of suspense.

The Lone Ranger and the Clippers, the Spurs and the Grizzlies, these four teams are all championship-level teams if they stay healthy.

Now that they meet in the first round, the fans are happy, but no one knows which two teams will win in the end.

Because they all have too many reasons to win the series.

Then the last Lakers and Thunder.

This is not the first time the two teams have played against each other, but compared to the last time, the suspense this time is obviously greater.

Although the two core players of the Lakers, Sun Hao and Yao Ming, have more experience in the playoffs, the Thunder team has also established a good tacit understanding after running in. Coupled with their constant impact, the Thunder team's chances of winning Not small.

Or in other words, it is by no means as easy for the Lakers to win the Thunder as expected.
