One Thousand Eight Hundred and Ninety-Seven. A Clear Situation

All the games in March are over, and each team only has 4-5 games left!

It's the last minute of the regular season, and the situation is probably clear.

In the West, after the Warriors lost to the Grizzlies, they won three consecutive games on March 31, successfully becoming the fourth team in NBA history to win at least 70 games. The record of 70 wins and 8 losses ranks first in the league. Although they can't tie the Grizzlies' record, with 4 games left, they have tied or even broken the Bulls' second-best record in history, which looks quite promising.

The Grizzlies have locked in the top two in the league, and of course the top two in the West, but whether they can be the first depends largely not on themselves, but on the Warriors.

So far, the Grizzlies have 68 wins and 10 losses... After the All-Star Weekend, they have 19 wins and 1 loss! Now they are on a 13-game winning streak.

If the Grizzlies want to make a crazy comeback and win the regular season championship, the Warriors must lose another game before the curtain call, and the Grizzlies must win all the next games, including the curtain call game against the Warriors.

The top two teams are the Warriors and the Grizzlies. Not long after the All-Stars weekend, there was no suspense. Since the playoff sprint this year started immediately after the All-Stars weekend, the best winning rate of other teams after the All-Stars weekend was only 60% to 70%, which was more brutal than the competition in previous years.

The competition for the third and fourth places is still going on, and the Thunder and the Spurs are competing fiercely.

The fifth-placed Trail Blazers have a unique feeling. Their starting structure is better than the Lakers and Mavericks, but their substitutes are rubbish. The overall strength shown in the regular season is slightly stronger than the Lakers and Mavericks.

The Lakers and Mavericks are competing for the sixth place.

In the eighth place in the West, the Pelicans fell behind. The Pelicans' record dropped to 38 wins and 39 losses. Since the current ninth-placed Jazz in the West has 42 wins and 36 losses, the Pelicans have no chance of entering the playoffs. Now the Suns and the Jazz are competing fiercely.

In the East, the Raptors are currently the only team with 60 wins, just 60 wins and 17 losses. The Bulls are currently 57 wins and 21 losses, and they still have a chance to get 60 wins. They have to win 3 of the last 4 games, but they have to play the Spurs in the first game of April and the Knicks in the final game, which is more difficult.

The 76ers are currently ranked third in the East with 49 wins and 29 losses. The Heat are ranked fourth in the East with 46 wins and 32 losses, relying on the advantage of being the first in the division. The Knicks are ranked fifth in the East with 47 wins and 31 losses.

The Knicks have completely cut off one arm. After sending Ariza and Lopez away, their bench lineup has become weak. Before the All-Star Weekend, they once ranked third in the East, a team with 50+ wins. At that time, it seemed that there was no suspense, and they even had the opportunity to rush to 55 wins, but now, they have fallen to fifth. It is quite difficult to get 50 wins in the last four games against the Nets, 76ers, Pistons, and Bulls.

The Heat ranked sixth in the East with 45 wins and 32 losses, and the Nets ranked seventh in the East with 42 wins and 35 losses.

The Hawks, Pistons, and Pacers are competing for the last playoff spot in the East.

The fans were so excited during the playoff sprint this season!

They started competing for rankings and playoff spots directly, unlike the previous warm-up process.

As a result, many records plummeted or soared.

The ones that soared were the Grizzlies, Thunder, Warriors, and Raptors. The Grizzlies lost only one game after the All-Star Weekend, while the Thunder lost only four games, the Warriors lost only two games, and the Raptors lost only four games.

The ones that plummeted were the Spurs, Lakers, and Mavericks. The Spurs lost only 10 games before the All-Star Weekend, but they have only played 20 games since the All-Star Weekend, and lost 9 games, being overtaken by the Thunder.

The Lakers and the Mavericks originally had a chance to compete for the fifth place, but both teams declined for various reasons, and other teams also performed better after the All-Star Weekend. The winning rate of the two teams after the All-Star Weekend will be more than 50%.

These teams are the teams that have been most affected by the All-Star Weekend compared to previous seasons, as the season progress has been accelerated directly.

Since some teams have been positively affected and some teams have been negatively affected, there are both situations. Therefore, except for the fans of the teams that have been negatively affected, not many fans think that this arrangement is not good.

A new month is coming, and the final bloodbath is about to begin. Fans are looking forward to it.

However, on the first day of the new month, there was no announcement of the Player of the Month, and fans are still a little uncomfortable.

The league notified that the last Player of the Month for the regular season of this season will be announced on April 12, and the Monthly Best Award for March plus half of April will be announced on that day.

This will largely determine who will win the final MVP, because Sun Ce won the first big month, which is the best player of the month from late October to November, followed by Curry in December and January. In February, Sun Ce defeated Curry with a 90-point performance and won the second best player of the month this season.

In terms of the number of best players of the week, Sun Ce and Curry have both won 8 times, and the competition is very fierce.

The number of best players of the month and the number of best players of the week will become factors affecting the two people's competition for MVP. Both of them want to get more chips for the competition for MVP.

At this time, a fan mentioned another player who has the opportunity to win the third best player of the month-Raptors star DeRozan.

This season, the Raptors players won 3 best players of the month in the Eastern Conference, and the Bulls players won one.

But DeRozan, who won the Player of the Month twice, can't even make it into the top five of the MVP prediction list... This is more or less affected by the playoff performance in the past few years.

The media is human, and they will be affected by the past and current performance of the players.

...

In the game against the Bulls, Sun Ce failed to reach 40+, and lost the record of the highest number of 40+ in a single game in a single season created by Jordan in modern basketball.

This makes many fans feel sorry, but Sun Ce still has hope of averaging 40+, because Sun Ce also scored 36 points against the Bulls. If he scored more than 44 points in one game, he could make up for the few points he missed in that game.

The key is that there needs to be a game with at least 49 points.

After two days of rest in April, on April 3, the Grizzlies welcomed the game against the Mavericks at home.

The Grizzlies, who are in high spirits and have already entered the playoffs, beat the Mavericks 114-105. Sun Ce played for 39 minutes, made 16 of 29 shots, including 2 of 5 three-pointers, and 11 of 14 free throws, scoring 45 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 5 steals and 1 block!

Sun Ce scored 40+ in a single game for the 33rd time this season. At the same time, he once again raised his average score to 39.9 points, one point more than 44 points. This season, Sun Ce's total score has reached 3152 points! Next, Sun Ce only needs to ensure that he gets 40 points in every game, and at least 48 points in one game, to raise his average score to 40 points!
