Chapter 1262: Seating Arrangement, Playoff Opponents Announced (Part 1)

Rebounds have always been an important indicator to measure an inside player's ability. Players who can average 10 or more rebounds per game are all the inside pillars of each team. Dayao's average of 9.8 rebounds per game also tells everyone that this data It's not something anyone can get if they want to.

Ji Feng averaged an astonishing 3.8 offensive rebounds per game, which ranked second only to Howard Howard. This is a very scary data. This proves Ji Feng's excellent offensiveness, and players like Qi Feng ranked second. David Lee, who ranks third in the total rebounding list, only averages 1 offensive rebound per game. This is why David Lee averages 20+10 per game but is still not a star and has always been regarded as a data brush.

So after the list appeared, ESPN said that it would be very easy for Ji Feng to improve his rebounding data.

Another list is still talked about, and that is the shot blocking list. The number one on this list is still Howard. As the most powerful inside pillar in the league, the Magic averaged 2.9 blocks per game this season, becoming the top player in this list. As the season's shot-blocking leader, in addition to dunks, Howard's shot-blocking has always been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. He also often performs wonderful blocks such as grabbing shots in the air and volleyball-style hot pot.

And another player in the league who often blocks shots and ranks among the top five goals is also not an insider, but Ji Feng!

Ji Feng's shot blocking has been outstanding since last season, and Ji Feng's shot blocking this season is still frightening. Ji Feng has also performed many good shot blocking performances this season, such as chasing James, sanctioning Xiaobu, etc. The shots are widely circulated, and they are even as good as Howard in terms of viewing quality.

Ji Feng also averaged 2.2 blocks per game this season, beating Marcus Camby and Turiaf's 2.1, ranking second behind Howard and Big Bird Anderson, who averaged 2.5 per game. Bit!

This is also the best ranking among outside players on the shot-blocking list!

The most amusing person to see this list is Dayao. Even if he is slightly suppressed by Ji Feng in the rebounding list, Ji Feng still has more blocks than Dayao. Dayao averages 1.9 times per game and ranks eighth...

You don’t know if you don’t count, but you will be shocked when you look at the statistics. Ji Feng has ranked among the top ten in all five major statistical lists this season. Not only did he win the scoring and assists titles, he also ranked second in the steals list and third in the blocks. , seventh in the rebounding list, Ji Feng suddenly became the most comprehensive player in a single season in history, not even one!

"Ji Feng's performance gives him the opportunity to compete for any award this season, and Ji Feng is also infinitely close to winning the first regular season MVP in his career. His advantage is greater than imagined. Almost no one can compete for it." He's a threat," ESPN said in a news release on the first day of the regular season.

However, it will take some time for the various awards this season to be announced. Now, in addition to the various magical records created by the Lakers and Ji Feng, fans are all focusing on the upcoming playoffs. This is what this season is about. The final drama.

The first thing to bear the brunt is the final 16 teams in the playoffs and their direct matchups!

…

In the early morning of April 16th, Ji Feng got up early after a good sleep. After the regular season, Zen Master temporarily disbanded the team. They will get a long-lost rest today, and the Lakers coaching staff will be there. The 12-man roster for the playoffs will be reported to NBA officials at 3pm today.

According to the NBA official playoff schedule announced yesterday, the first round of the NBA playoffs will kick off on April 19th, which means they only have about 4 days to prepare. The world is not in a hurry. .

Therefore, fringe playoff figures like Sun Yue will still arrive at Staples early for training today, trying to squeeze into the 12-man roster at the last minute.

But for people like Ji Feng, this list has little to do with them. They will definitely occupy a place, so after a simple warm-up, Ji Feng turned on the computer, and there was already an email from the Lakers coaching staff. , which includes their first-round opponents and the entire playoffs.

"Huh~ As expected." Ji Feng first saw the playoff matchup.

The first is the Eastern Conference. This season, the Eastern Conference, like previous seasons, determined the eight teams in the playoffs early, and their rankings have almost remained unchanged since February, and ultimately remained the same until the end.

Ranked first in the Eastern Conference is an old acquaintance of the fans. The Cleveland Cavaliers, led by James, have actually shown their strong competitiveness from the beginning this season. James played the best season of his career, leading the Cavaliers to the top spot for the first time in history. 60 wins, finally settled at 62 wins and 20 losses.

Behind them are the Celtics. The Celtics started high and low this season. They originally wanted to avenge the disastrous defeat in last season's finals, but Garnett's injury caused their playoff journey to be overshadowed. cast a shadow, but with Rondo's strong rise, they also achieved a record of 58 wins and 24 losses. They are also considered the Cavaliers' biggest opponent in the East.

Then there are the Magic, the biggest dark horse this season. 57 wins and 25 losses is the best record of Howard's career. They are also considered to have a chance to reach the Eastern Conference Finals.

After the top three in the Eastern Conference, they began to fall apart. The fourth-placed Eagles only had 47 wins and 35 losses. However, this Eagle was strong enough. Last season, they almost made it to the eighth place. This season, under the leadership of the two Eagle Kings, they have a chance to reach the top. Eastern Conference Semifinals.

The next 5-8 are the Miami Heat, who have returned to the playoffs after two seasons, the Philadelphia 76ers, the Chicago Bulls and the Detroit Pistons.

Although the Bulls and Pistons have entered the playoffs, they have 41 and 39 wins respectively. This result is in the Western Conference... I won’t go into details.

So the first round games in the Eastern Conference are Cavaliers-Pistons, Celtics-Bulls, Magic-76ers, Hawks-Heat!

Let’s look at the West again!

Compared with the Eastern Conference, the Western Conference is absolutely in hell mode. In addition to the Lakers confirming the first place in the Western Conference early, the results of this season's playoffs were only determined on the last day, which is enough to prove that the strength gap between the strong teams is getting bigger and bigger. Small.

The first is the Lakers' first-round opponent, the old enemy Utah Jazz. Last season's semifinal opponents met in the first round of this season.

They achieved a record of 48 wins and 34 losses, with a winning rate of 58.50%. This result can rank fourth in the Eastern Conference, and they are the best outside the top three in the Eastern Conference. However, in the Western Conference, they have just entered the playoffs. , had it not been for the Suns' final consecutive defeats, they would have almost been counterattacked by the Phoenix.

Speaking of which, I have to mention the Suns, a veteran team. This season, the Suns had a luxurious lineup, but in the end they only had 46 wins, ranked ninth in the Western Conference, and were excluded from the playoffs. This was also the first time in so many years that the Suns were kicked out of the playoffs. , the Sharks had to accept the outcome of missing the playoffs again in their second season back in the West.
