304 Singing forward, the smoke of gunpowder rises again!
Zhou Si is still very happy to win the All-Star MVP, but he knows that this is just the beginning.
There is more glory waiting for him ahead.
Zhou Si doesn't pay much attention to the All-Star MVP, but some people are jealous.
With Westbrook and Davis in the West and Irving in the East, the envy in Butler's eyes can't be concealed at all!
After the game, Zhou Si had a few words with Westbrook and Davis.
"I probably won't put too much effort into next year's All-Stars. It will be up to you then!"
Kobe, who was not far away, twitched the corner of his mouth.
Why do I feel like you stole my line?
And how do you have the nerve to describe paddling in such a fresh and refined manner?
…
The All-Stars are over, and the drama finally comes to a close!
Zhou Si is really reluctant to leave!
It’s quite refreshing to suddenly have such a holiday when I’m used to playing ball non-stop!
Then Zhou Si smiled bitterly and shook his head.
I have really fallen. I haven’t even won a championship and yet I dare to think about taking a vacation!
Quick, go back to Portland and continue special training!
No one knows how much preparation Zhou Si has made for this year's playoffs!
…
While Zhou Si was practicing hard in the arena, General Manager Orsi looked at the offers submitted by other general managers with jealousy.
The Trail Blazers have occupied the first place in the Western Conference for a long time this season, so even though the statistics of many players on their team are not outstanding, they still received many offers.
Even the water fountain managers Leonard, Ye Ze and Casspi have received many offers.
Logically speaking, it would be best to strengthen the team, but Zhou Si had already talked with all the players in private before.
No one wants to be traded!
Although Zhou Si feels that maybe Leonard can grow faster and Cassby can get more performance opportunities in another place.
But if his teammates don’t want to leave, Zhou Si will definitely not force him.
Their personnel reserves are very complete this season, which is why there is no major decline in their record even if some players are injured.
And if all the players can play for a full season and win the championship without leaving anyone behind, Zhou Si thinks this is the best ending!
The Trail Blazers are standing still, while other teams are trading rumors.
Oklahoma City intends to send away Reggie Jackson, who had conflicts with Westbrook;
The Timberwolves intend to welcome KG home;
The Philadelphia 76ers are interested in selling McAway, Bucks, Rockets, etc.;
Heat interested in Dragic;
…
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, a few days have passed, and the transactions of various teams have begun to make progress.
The Timberwolves made frequent moves. They used the second-round picks in 2015 and 2016 from the Heat to acquire Norris Cole from the Heat to reinforce the backup No. 1 position, and used Thaddeus Young to bring back the old Wolf King KG.
The Heat made a false shot and traded Chalmers and a second-round pick in 2016 for "Blooded Cloth" Bledsoe.
The Thunder used Reggie Jackson's expiring contract to acquire Ben McLemore from the Kings!
…
Except for the newly promoted dark horse Timberwolves, the rest of the strong teams are just small and inconspicuous moves.
In fact, this is normal. After all, the general situation of the league has been decided. Unless the contradiction is so serious that it cannot be resolved, no strong team will sell its own powerful players.
On February 20, the Pioneers set sail again!
This time they visit Utah to challenge the rebuilding Jazz team!
The current Jazz is completely different from later generations. Wiggins has not yet risen, but Derrick Favors has played the best performance of his career.
However, this still cannot change their poor performance. They currently rank in the bottom four in the Western Conference with 24 wins and 30 losses!
However, although they are ranked in the bottom four, the Jazz still retain the hope of making the playoffs, because they are only 2.5 games away from the Kings, who are currently eighth in the Western Conference and have a record of 27 wins and 28 losses!
It’s not impossible if you work hard!
For example, the Jazz played very tenaciously in this game and even came close to winning the game at one point!
If Zhou Si hadn't scored in the penalty area at the end, the Trail Blazers might have fallen to Utah.
In this game, the Trail Blazers were completely out of shape, lagging behind the Jazz in rebounds and assists!
It seems like this long vacation has left some guys with some rust on their bodies!
Although the Trail Blazers' next goal is to maintain the league's first position and enter the playoffs while ensuring health, this is not a reason for the players to paddle!
After the game, Coach Stotts gave a good lesson to those players!
In the NBA, there can be no slacking off!
Otherwise, you will only be greeted by failure!
The Blazers generals who were whipped and given chicken soup regained their strength and fought hard for the next two months!
On the 15th, in Dallas, the Trail Blazers ended all 82 games this season with a victory!
At this point, the 2014-2015 NBA regular season has officially come to an end.
The NBA team rankings for the 2014-15 season are also available.
The Trail Blazers successfully completed the plan formulated by the team, and finally finished with the best record in team history of 70 wins and 12 losses, the second record in NBA history, and firmly ranked first in the NBA Western Conference and first in the league!
The Western Conference regular season standings are as follows:
1 Portland Trail Blazers 2 Golden State Warriors 3 New Orleans Pelicans 4 Minnesota Timberwolves 5 Houston Rockets 6 Sacramento Kings 7 Oklahoma City Thunder 8 San Antonio Spurs.
9 Denver Nuggets 10 Los Angeles Clippers 11 Phoenix Suns 12 Utah Jazz 13 Memphis Grizzlies 14 Los Angeles Lakers 15 Dallas Mavericks.
The Eastern Conference regular season standings are as follows:
1 Cleveland Cavaliers 2 Brooklyn Nets 3 Atlanta Hawks 4 Chicago Bulls 5 Boston Celtics 6 Indiana Pacers 7 Washington Wizards 8 Toronto Raptors.
9 Orlando Magic 10 Charlotte Hornets 11 New York Knicks 12 Milwaukee Bucks 13 Detroit Pistons 14 Miami Heat 15 Philadelphia 76ers.
The playoff matchups between the East and West are also announced.
East side:
Cavaliers VS Raptors
As expected, the hot chicken brother from Canada will be beaten by James again!
Sweeping out is the unanimous view of many experts and fans.
Brooklyn Nets VS Wizards
With the growth of center Lopez and Joe Johnson's big-hearted performance at critical moments, the wealthy Nets seem to be a big step closer to the goal of the wealthy owner.
Although they are ranked well, considering that their opponent is the Wizards on the road, their biggest advantage may become a disadvantage.
Hawks vs. Pacers
The "Little Spurs" Hawks are still on the rise, and it is really not easy for their opponent, the Pacers, to make the playoffs after losing Pickles, although almost everyone is not optimistic that they can go further.
Bulls VS Celtics!
This may be the most suspenseful matchup in the Eastern Conference.
The defending champion fell from first place in the Eastern Conference to fourth in the Eastern Conference, only one Rose away!
Although Rose has changed his style of play, injuries still occurred unexpectedly while competing against the Cavaliers.
In Zhou Si's view, Rose's health will not be guaranteed if Thibodeau leaves for a day.
On the contrary, the Celtics have completely risen since the coaching change.
Young coach Stevens has repeatedly used his tactics at the last moment to teach many teams a lesson.
Sometimes, the coach is the soul of a team!
Chapter completed!
