Chapter 817
Chapter 808 : The glory of the super team
Does the NBA regular season record really matter? This has always been an issue that has been debated by the outside world.
History is not without a team that performed well in the regular season and was eliminated in the first round of the playoffs. The Dallas Mavericks are one of them. The fact that the Mavericks were hacked by the Warriors has been talked about until now. Getting good results in the regular season does not mean you are really good. The regular season is the league’s first, and it may not necessarily be the last to win the O’Brien Cup.
In the history of the league, teams with 69 championships and a regular season winning rate of more than 73.1% have only won 32 of the 69 times. It can be said that this proportion is not large.
It can be seen from this that the regular season record has nothing to do with winning the championship. When the Mavericks won a terrifying 74 wins last year, Jordan and Pippen also said it. 70 wins without a championship are meaningless at all.
The regular season record does not have anything to do with the question of the ownership of the final championship. But for the Warriors and Mavericks, the regular season record is good or bad, but it is related to the honor of the two teams!
Super teams in history have always ruled from the regular season to the playoffs!
The NBA champions ranked No. 1 and No. 2 for the Green Army and the Lakers, leading the league with 11 and 12 wins over 60 times, respectively. It can be seen that the super team is absolutely unmatched in the regular season.
In 2011, the Dallas Mavericks only reached the playoffs as the third in the Western Conference, but eventually won the championship trophy. Although they are all champions, no one thinks that the Mavericks are a super team. The reason is simple, they have no dominant power in the regular season. Third in the West, this is not a rare achievement.
But now the Warriors and Mavericks are undoubtedly the two most powerful super teams in the league. As the saying goes, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers. Whether it is the Warriors or the Mavericks, they don’t want to be the two most powerful, but the only one!
This year, the two teams have shared this honor with two 70-win teams in a season without precedent. So who is the biggest winner this season? In addition to the ownership of the championship, the ranking in the regular season is a proof of their honor!
Who can stand it if they have already passed 70 victories and are still in second place?
Therefore, even if there are only the last two games left in the regular season, the Mavericks and Warriors still try to change the situation on the leaderboard. There is no super team that is willing to rank second in the regular season!
At this time, the Mavericks and the Warriors ran into the Jazz and Celtics respectively. I have to say that life is really full of drama everywhere.
Under Hayward’s good performance this season, the Utah Jazz have scored 40 wins and 40 losses so far, ranking eighth in the West!
If the Jazz can make the playoffs this season, this will be the first time they have missed the playoffs in three years! For the Jazz and Hayward, this is a very landmark!
The Jazz can prove that their reconstruction is beginning to work, and Hayward can prove that he has transformed into a real star.
Although there are only two games left to play in the regular season, the Jazz’s eighth position in the West is not safe. The Houston Rockets, who have experienced injuries this season, and now have a neat lineup, have a record of 39 wins and 41 losses. There are two games left, which means that the last ticket to the playoffs may change hands. The Jazz and the Rockets will compete fiercely in the last two games.
Therefore, the Jazz will definitely do their best to win the game to keep the chance of qualifying for the playoffs. They will give it all, and win against the Mavericks!
Yiyang couldn’t help but shook his head. It was Stevens last season and Hayward again this season. Why do the Mavericks have to deal with old friends at critical moments during the regular season. Yiyang also wants Hayward to make the playoffs, but for the honor of the Mavericks, Yiyang must have no mercy.
On the other side, Stevens also began to scold his mother. The Celtics have completed their rise this season. They locked the playoff spot early and their position was particularly safe. Even if the last two games are lost, there is no danger of falling out of the playoffs.
But the results of the Eastern Conference teams this season are very good. Although there are no teams with 60 wins, there are many teams with 45 wins or more. If the Jazz and Rockets are in the Eastern Conference this season, they don’t have to struggle. They will definitely not make the playoffs. This situation is very rare.
The Western Conference is dominated by the Warriors, Mavericks, Spurs, and Clippers. Four teams with 50+ wins have outstanding records. After the first four, the Western Conference’s performance is not as good as the Eastern Conference.
So far this season, with the exception of the Cavaliers and Raptors, the final ranking of the Eastern Conference is still uncertain. Because from third in the East to sixth in the East, the records of the four teams are actually the same!
In the last two games of the regular season, this is the last chance for the Celtics to change their playoffs. This year’s Celtics won’t be satisfied with the first round anymore. Angie’s goal is the conference semifinals! So who is the opponent in the first round is particularly important to Stevens.
Last season, Stevens also wanted to get a good result, avoid strong enemies, so that the team can go further in the playoffs. As a result, he ran into Yiyang and Mavericks.
This season, facing the same situation, Stevens did not run into Yiyang again, but met the Warriors of another super team.
Stevens really admires his luck. If this luck is used to buy lottery tickets, he may be able to buy an NBA team and become his own boss.
The Jazz and Celtics, both teams have reasons to fight in the last two games of the regular season. Therefore, the Warriors and Mavericks cannot expect these two opponents to surrender obediently. On the contrary, the Jazz and Celtics will do everything they can to fight to the end with two teams with more than 70 wins.
This season’s regular season, if you don’t play to the end, everything will not be settled.

“Doctor, everything is OK, right?” Standing in front of the hospital bed, Yiyang asked the doctor about Vignali with concern.
At this time, Vignari’s belly was already very exaggerated. Ferragamo also suspended all filming plans related to Vignali. Vignali’s parents also put aside their business and traveled all the way from Italy to Dallas to take care of their daughter.
Because in less than a month, she will be a mother. Unfortunately, this time is at a critical moment of the season, and Yiyang’s work is very busy and intense. So as long as there is time, Yiyang will run to the hospital, always paying attention to his wife’s condition.
Yiyang is no longer the kid who robbed Harpy’s wallet. He is a responsible man, and he should be a father. He should also be responsible.
Sometimes Yiyang didn’t even return home, and went to the hospital for one night after the game, and then went directly to the airport to join the team to play away.
The hospital, the airport and the basketball stadium have become the three most visited places in Yiyang in the past month.
“Your wife is in excellent condition. The fetus and mother are both very healthy. Don’t worry, go to Salt Lake City to play games with ease. I won’t let Vignali have any accidents. I use my life guarantee!”
The doctor in charge of Vignali is a middle-aged man about 40 years old. He is the most famous obstetrician and gynecologist in Dallas. Coincidentally, he is also a fan of the Dallas Mavericks and Yiyang. I heard that I was going to give birth to Yiyang. This doctor named Ryan was extremely honored.
Therefore, he is absolutely serious and responsible for Vignali. If this thing is screwed up, he will not be able to mix in Dallas or even the entire Texas.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Lane is the most professional in Dallas. What’s more, there are us.” Vignali’s parents are also very optimistic, after all, they have experienced this kind of moment.
Yiyang nodded, then squatted on the head of the bed, squeezing Vignali’s hand. “I’ll be back soon, don’t be nervous, listen to the doctor, and say what you want to eat.”
“I am nervous, I think you are nervous.” Vignali smiled at Yiyang. This great player who is not soft at the critical moment of the game is now shaking slightly in front of a woman.
Can Yiyang not be nervous? These are the two most important people in his life.
“Go ahead, don’t be late. Did you forget? It was because you were late a week ago that the flight plan was delayed, and in the end two hours of the team’s time was wasted. It doesn’t matter, hit yours The game. After you win the O’Brien Cup, maybe you can’t wait that long before you can be a father!”
Yiyang smiled and looked at his watch. It was indeed almost time. After explaining the rest, Yiyang left the hospital and rushed to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.
Think about it, time flies so fast. The romantic wedding in Venice seems to be in sight, but in fact, it was already two years ago. In about a month, he will have a new family role based on his son and husband and become a father!
Father, Yiyang never thought that he would be associated with this word. Through the rearview mirror of the car Yiyang looked at his face. 26 years old, indeed, not a child anymore.
As soon as Yiyang got out of the car, he ran into Armstrong who was waiting for him in the underground parking lot. Armstrong stepped forward quickly and led Yiyang through complicated passages.
“Everyone is waiting for you. The plane will take off in fifteen minutes! Also, how are you preparing?”
“I’m fine, Darrell, don’t worry about me. But Deron, how is his ankle?” Yiyang asked with concern.
Two days ago, Deron sprained his ankle in a game, which is the most common injury for professional basketball players.
“Basically ok, it won’t affect tomorrow’s game. However, Rick and I decided to limit his playing time. It is important to be the first in the regular season, but it shouldn’t be the reason for Deron to delay the playoffs.”
Yiyang nodded in agreement, and in a blink of an eye, they were already on the runway of the airport. This is the privilege of the Mavericks players. They can walk directly into the runway from the staff channel and board the plane directly.
“Vignari, everything goes well?”
“The doctor said everything was normal. By the way, Darrell, what was your mood the first time you saw your baby born?”
Hearing Yiyang’s question, Armstrong was stunned. “What mood? Nervous, scared to death, but excited. In short, there are all kinds of messy moods. But in the end, it will all come down to one feeling.”
“How does it feel?”
“Happiness, kid, endless happiness!” Armstrong finished speaking and patted Yiyang on the shoulder. “Let’s go, we should bring misfortune to Salt Lake City.”
Yiyang shook his head, he was about to be happy soon. But his good brother Hayward is going to be unlucky. (https:)
