Chapter 138 The regular season ends 5

"The Minnesota Timberwolves secured first place in the Western Conference three rounds in advance and entered the playoffs again after ten years!"

"Chinese people have achieved miracles with the Minnesota Timberwolves, and the Timberwolves have secured the first place in the Western Conference in team history!"

"Hua Guochen surpassed everyone in the history of the Timberwolves and created his own legend."

Various eye-catching headlines appeared in major newspapers in the beautiful country, and Chen Dazhuang suddenly became the creator of the miracle. However, the Timberwolves' record this season shows that it is indeed a miracle.

For a time, Chen Dazhuang and the Timberwolves once again became the targets of media reporters.

There are even a lot of rumors flying all over the place, some say which team hopes to invite Chen Dazhuang to coach, and some say which team is interested in Timberwolves players.

Anyway, everything about the Timberwolves suddenly became a piece of cake in the eyes of media reporters. Anything related to the Timberwolves will appear in the news of various media.

However, Chen Dazhuang has no intention of paying attention to all this from the outside world, and he has no time to pay attention to it, because the next work is more and more troublesome. As everyone said before, the Timberwolves have not played in the playoffs for a long time.

He has a lot of experience, and the coaching staff, whether it is Chen Dazhuang or Smith, or Ogemon, Benoy and Mosley, are very unfamiliar with the playoffs.

The difference between the playoffs and the regular season is well known, but what exactly is the difference and how the team should prepare for the playoffs are all things Chen Dazhuang and his coaching team need to learn.

As for the system, the situation in the final sprint stage of the regular season has clearly demonstrated that even if the system generates powerful buffs, it is not 100% able to win.

There are three games remaining in the regular season.

After discussing with Smith and others, the Timberwolves decided to use a rotating lineup. The main players should try their best to ensure good condition and restore physical reserves.

What surprises Smith and others is that before the start of this season, the Timberwolves' physical training was intense enough, which has allowed the Timberwolves' lineup to remain very good so far. In addition, the team's logistics support has also improved after a season.

Very good, proven trustworthy.

On April 13th and 14th, the Timberwolves and the Golden State Warriors met continuously, and they were back-to-back games. However, both sides had already determined their positions in the playoffs, so both sides used a lot of tactics in these two games.

Substitute players, and even many players who are on the fringes of the team, get a lot of game time.

The final result of these two games was one win and one loss.

Then after a day's rest, on April 16, the last game day of the 2013-2014 NBA regular season, a total of 15 games started at almost the same time.

The Timberwolves welcomed the Jazz at Target Arena.

In the end, he easily defeated the Utah Jazz 117-97, thus bringing a perfect end to his regular season this season.

There are 30 teams, and the final round of fifteen games is all over, which also indicates that the final list of playoff matchups for the Eastern and Western Conferences will be released one after another.

There were basically no surprises in the Eastern Conference. The Indiana Pacers ranked first in the Eastern Conference with 54 wins and 28 losses, followed by the Miami Heat with 53 wins and 29 losses. The Chicago Bulls ranked third in the Eastern Conference with 47 wins and 35 losses.

The Raptors also have 47 wins, the Nets and Wizards both have 44 wins and 38 losses, ranking fifth and sixth respectively. The Charlotte Bobcats are seventh and the Atlanta Hawks are eighth.

The list of matchups in the first round of the playoffs in the Eastern Conference is: Pacers vs. Hawks, Heat vs. Bobcats, Bulls vs. Wizards, and the Raptors meet the Nets.

Relatively speaking, competition in the West is much more intense.

The Hawks, who are ranked eighth in the Eastern Conference, only had a record of 37 wins and 45 losses in the regular season this season, and such a record would definitely be hopeless in the Western Conference playoffs.

On the Western side, the Minnesota Timberwolves lead the entire Western Conference with a record of 64 wins and 18 losses.

Following closely behind in second place in the Western Conference is the San Antonio Spurs, who have a record of 61 wins and 21 losses.

The Oklahoma City Thunder ranked third with a record of 60 wins and 22 losses.

The Los Angeles Clippers ranked fourth with 55 wins and 25 losses, followed by the Houston Rockets with 52 wins and 30 losses. The Portland Trail Blazers ranked sixth and seventh with 50 wins and 32 losses.

It was the Golden State Warriors who won 49 wins and 33 losses, and the Memphis Grizzlies occupied the last playoff spot in the Western Conference with 48 wins and 34 losses.

The Timberwolves also got their wish and met the Grizzlies in the first round of the playoffs. In the same top half as the Timberwolves was the Thunder, and their opponent was the Portland Trail Blazers.

The Spurs met the Golden State Warriors in the first round, and the Los Angeles Clippers, who were in the bottom half with them, needed to overcome the Houston Rockets.

The end of the regular season determines the list of playoff matchups, and it also means that the major bad teams have begun their own reconstruction work. The Bucks and the Cavaliers compete to see who can play the worst. In the end, the Bucks had the last laugh, 82

In each regular season game, they only won 15 games and ultimately finished last in the league.

Before the start of the season, the ambitious Cavaliers had won 20 games, ranking third from the bottom in the league. The second to last team was won by the Philadelphia 76ers with 19 wins.

What surprised Da Zhuang was that the Mavericks led by Adelman, not to mention that this guy did have some strength, in the end almost took away the playoff spot from the Grizzlies, only one game behind the Grizzlies.

According to the schedule given by the league, the playoffs will kick off on April 19, and the Timberwolves' first game will be at 6 p.m. on April 20.

Then on April 18, the league's official website announced the candidate list for the six major awards for the 2013-2014 regular season. This is also something that everyone is paying close attention to.

And after discussion, everyone agreed that the Timberwolves might be the biggest winner.

In addition to the regular season MVP, basically the Timberwolves are likely to win the final award. Bennett's Rookie of the Year award will basically not be a surprise, and Chen Dazhuang's Best Coach award is basically a certainty.

In addition, Khris Middleton's name appeared on the candidate list for the Most Improved Award and the Best Sixth Man Award. Oden appeared on the candidate list for the Best Defensive Player. Among them, the best

Two of the three candidates for the sixth man are even from the Timberwolves. In addition to Middleton, Budinger also appeared in it.

Among the six major awards, only the two major awards of regular season MVP and most critical player do not include Timberwolves players.
