Before the All-Star, the Warriors successfully completed the change of the lineup. After Ron Howard and Wade voluntarily gave the position to the younger and more energetic Devin Booker and Jaylen Brown, the Warriors' offense and defense were greatly liberated.

After the All-Star, with the return of Davis, the team's liberation brought qualitative changes to the Warriors.

If the regular season rankings were still dangerous before the All-Stars and before the Warriors changed their teams.

Then after reaching the All-Star, the Warriors' ranking in the Western Conference was extremely stable.

The Warriors' first game after the All-Stars was the home game against the Kings on February 21, and until the last game in March, on March 31, the Warriors' home game against the Bobcats.

In the 19 games during this period, the Warriors won a complete victory.

Of course, this is also related to the strongest opponents in these 19 games being the Heat, Bobcats, and Spurs. During this period, the Warriors' opponents are indeed not that strong.

Therefore, under many factors, this wave of 19 consecutive wins made the Warriors seem to have dominant power again.

After all, after this series of wins, the Warriors' record also reached 67 wins and 9 losses.

It has to be said that if the Warriors can achieve 70 wins this season, it would be a miracle.

After all, after the first third of the schedule, the Warriors looked like an ordinary 60-win team.

But who would have thought that the Warriors had not even lost after the All-Star Game.

This brings the Warriors' current record ranking to the second place in the league.

Of course, it is not that important for the Warriors to win 70 wins. As long as they are the number one in the West, it will be fine.

As for 70 wins, of course, it doesn’t matter if there is no.

So in April, the Warriors actually played very openly.

The Warriors' remaining six games in April are the Nuggets, Lakers, Cavaliers, Clippers, New Orleans Hornets, and the Grizzlies in the final game.

Overall, these six games are strong and weak, among which the Lakers are still away.

However, considering the Warriors' current record of 67 wins, it is actually a very good chance to win 70.

Even if the Warriors play very openly, as long as they win the Nuggets, Hornets and Grizzlies, the three weak teams.

In the end, with the Warriors having a lot of rotations and the defense was not so holistic, the Warriors won 3 wins and 3 losses in these six games in April.

Lose to the Lakers, Cavaliers and Clippers, and defeated the Nuggets, Hornets and Grizzlies.

And what's interesting is that it was not smooth when playing these three weak teams, especially when playing against the Grizzlies. Chen Xiao originally got off the court and rested in the half.

But who would have thought that the Grizzlies scored 86 points in the first half, which made Warriors head coach Cole a little angry.

Let you be at will, not so casual. Finally, at Chen Xiao's request, Chen Xiao continued to play in the second half of the game, and finally regained face for the Warriors, the first-place and defending champion in the Western Conference, and finally defeated the Grizzlies 137-132 away.

For a team like the Grizzlies, when the championship and the playoffs are not possible, the most important game for them is the last game of the season in front of home fans.

If this game is played well, no matter how bad the previous game is, fans will support them.

So, for the Warriors, they can play in the last game of the regular season, Robinson, Alexander, Allen, John Collin, four first- and second-year rookies, and even Chen Xiao can play a point guard in a long time.

You can come whatever you want.

But obviously, the Grizzlies won't do this.

I have to say that the Grizzlies played very well in this game. Jevin Carter, who is 1.88 meters tall in the team's rookie point guard, dared to fight and fought. He made 10 of 18 shots, 8 of 12 three-pointers, and scored 32 points, almost exerting his small and fast spirit to the extreme.

His outbreak was also the reason why Cole was very dissatisfied with the first half.

It is foreseeable that Chen Xiao could not defend such a small quick spirit. Kerr was very dissatisfied with the fact that other players of the team did not make up for Chen Xiao, which made him hit so many three-pointers.

Let's just say that, in terms of Chen Xiao's height and defensive ability, Carter's three-pointer must not be drawn by Chen Xiao's head, but a simple pick-and-roll, throw away Chen Xiao and take the open position.

Such an offense can create such great power because the team's defensive integration is not good enough.

Of course, this is understandable. After all, Chen Xiao did not take a turn for this game, and they were all substitutes and young players of some teams.

However, it is obvious that for Cole, Carter, the beggar version of Curry, can fight the Warriors like this. If he really meets the real Curry, what should he do?

However, in the end, with Chen Xiao's 21 31 shots, 7 of 12 three-pointers, 12 free throws, 61 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks in this game, the Warriors finally defeated the Grizzlies and won the team's 70th game this season.

In the end, the Warriors' record this season was 70 wins and 12 losses.

This record ranks second in the league and first in the West, second only to the Bucks with 74 wins and 8 losses this season.

In the end of this season, only the Bucks and Warriors still achieved 70 wins.

In the East, the Bucks ranked first, while the Cavaliers and Heat ranked second and third, with the Philadelphia 76ers, the Washington Wizards, the Nets, the Knicks, and the Toronto Raptors ranked fourth to eighth.

By the way, the Washington Wizards' record this year is better than the 76ers, but because the 76ers are the first in the division, they are ranked in the top four.

James Harden, the leading player of the Washington Wizards, performed so well this season, averaging 36.1 points, 6.6 rebounds, 7.5 assists and 2 steals per game, averaging 44.2% from the game, and averaging 37% from three-point shooting percentage. He performed very well in all aspects.

At the same time, he has become the third player since Kobe and Chen Xiao in the past 20 years to average scores of more than 36 points per game.

He is also the scoring champion of this season. As the scoring champion, he can lead the team to a record of 54 wins and 28 losses. To be honest, if it weren't for Curry and Chen Xiao's outrageousness this season, he could even compete for MVP.

Of course, according to the rankings of the last round of official MVP rankings, Harden also ranked fifth after Curry, Chen Xiao, James, and Ross, and ranked above Durant.

James Harden has also become one of the biggest highlights of the NBA this season. After all, in addition to Chen Xiao, James Harden has also become the second player in NBA history to play 60+ triple-double.

And it's not just 60+ triple-double, James Harden has also played a lot of 50+ triple-double and 40+ triple-double this season.

After Westbrook broke the normal triple-double data, super high-end triple-doubles such as 60+ triple-doubles are still very valuable.

So the reviews James Harden received this season are also very high.

By the way, at the end of this season, the official ranked Curry's MVP ranking before Chen Xiao. This is actually mainly because the Bucks defeated the Warriors this season. Curry and the Bucks have a record in the forefront. With Chen Xiao and Curry's data similar, Curry's MVP this season is actually still ahead.

Of course it is not as stable as last season.

After all, this season, Chen Xiao averaged more than 30 points per game.

After talking about the east, let’s talk about the west.

In the West, the first place is the Warriors with 70 wins, the second place is the Lakers with 60 wins, then the third place is the Jazz and Spurs, the fifth place is the Clippers, the sixth place is the Trail Blazers, the seventh place is the Timberwolves, and the eighth place is the Kings.

This season, Chen Xiao can average 30.1 points, 11.5 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.5 blocks per game.

In the scoring list, Chen Xiao tied for third place after James Harden, Westbrook, and Curry.

Well, it's quite interesting. Chen Xiao and Curry played as many games this season and scored the same number of points.

This season, Curry averaged 30.1 points, 7.5 assists, 5.5 rebounds and 2.1 steals per game, shooting percentage of 50.5%, three-point shooting percentage of 45.5%, and free throw shooting percentage of 90.8%. The undisputed Super 180 Club.

What’s interesting is that this season, Chen Xiao’s shooting percentage is 59.5%, three-point shooting percentage is 45%, and free throw shooting percentage is 90.5%. Chen Xiao is also a super 180 club this season.

This is also the reason why Curry's MVP is ahead but it seems not that stable.

Chen Xiao and Curry, their performance this season can definitely be regarded as an MVP-level existence.

It's okay for both of them to get the MVP.

Of course, from the hearts of many experts and celebrities, Curry is even more worthy of his reputation. After all, he has the first record in the regular season and even won the Warriors double.

But, after all, Chen Xiao’s prestige is there.

As for the final result, whether Chen Xiao was crowned MVP for the sixth time in his career or Curry’s second time in his career, it will take some time to find out.

Anyway, for Chen Xiao and Curry himself, they must not be so concerned about this honor.

The championship is definitely more attractive to them than the MVP.

After the successful end of this year's regular season, the first round of the NBA playoffs was also released.

In the East, the Bucks played against the Raptors, the Cavaliers played against the Knicks, and the Heat played against the Nets, with the 76ers facing the Wizards.

In the West, the Warriors play against the Kings, the Lakers play against the Timberwolves, the Jazz play against the Blazers, and the Spurs play against the Clippers.

Judging from the first round of the East and West matches, there are still many grudges.

For example, Embiid plays Harden in the East. Embiid has complained a lot of free throws this season. He needs to carry his hands behind his back when others defend. The grudge between the two can only be said to be a long-standing one.

In the West, the biggest grudge situation is of course the Spurs are fighting the Clippers. The Spurs and the Clippers have been said to be the biggest enemy in the West over the years.

According to many people, the Spurs were defeated by the Clippers.

Even though the Spurs have been in the playoffs in the past two seasons, the fact that they were defeated by the Clippers makes the Spurs very popular every time they meet the Clippers.

Of course, the Lakers' matchup between the Timberwolves, Kobe and Garnett, the two head coaches, is also quite interesting.

But overall, except for the 76ers and the Wizards, the Clippers and Spurs, the other six groups, the strengths of the two sides are actually very different.

Therefore, after the first round of the match was released, many NBA experts predicted the first round of the playoffs, except for the Wizards and the 76ers, the Spurs and the Clippers, the other six groups were solved within five games.

Although the league's strength of the eastern and western teams is now increasing, the strength of the eastern and western teams has not yet shrunk.

The east side is a little better, but the west side is really the last few digits in the west.

So, is this really the case?

As experts predicted, are there no suspense in these six groups?

Things are indeed not that simple.

The Warriors eliminated the Kings led by Yin Baka 4-0 on April 21 and advanced to the second round.

But except for the Warriors, there was no sweep in the first round.

In the game between the Bucks and the Raptors, Milicic, the Raptors' super-aggressive big center, is a preview before the Bucks fight against the Cavaliers. Milicic is very restrained by the Bucks, and at the same time, the Bucks don't want to end the playoffs with the Raptors as soon as possible. In the end, the two teams played 4-2 and the Bucks advanced.
