Chapter 1349 The 2019~2020 Season Ends

"I endorsed Master Kong before. There are a lot of flavored instant noodles at home. If you are interested, you can come to my house as a guest."

Tang Tian said with a smile.

Ariza laughed out loud.

They seem to have returned to the time when they first met 6 years ago.

Holiday also came over at this time, plus Davis not far away.

If you don't look carefully at their clothes, you will really think it was 6 years ago.

With the signing of Ariza, the Pelicans' playoff lineup is also officially formed.

Point Guard: Brogdon, Alexander, Trey Burke

Shooting Guard: Holiday, Ding Yanyuhang, Kelden Johnson

Small forwards: Durant, Ariza, Carter

Power forwards: Davis, Kuzma, Decker

Center: Gasol Jr., Mitchell Robinson, Gasol

This lineup is enough for them to achieve better results in the second half, and it is also enough to challenge any opponent in the playoffs.

The Pelicans had a game the night Ariza arrived, playing the Celtics at home.

The Celtics replaced the Raptors in the Eastern Conference, and the game was predictably going to be a tight one.

that's the truth.

Tatum started the game bravely. Whether it was Holiday or Davis on the Pelicans side, they were a little bit wrong. The two teams were deadlocked in the opening stage.

Seeing that the score could not be opened, Stevens replaced Brogdon with Ariza in the first substitution.

In the first game back to the Pelicans, he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility and was sent to block the hole of the gun.

It turns out Ariza is really good at it, too.

Tatum faced Ariza, who was not inferior to him in weight and had a longer wingspan than himself, and he was obviously not as comfortable as the opening game.

At the age of 35, Ariza can still start for playoff teams such as the Kings and Trail Blazers. This is the best proof.

Tatum became more efficient, and the Celtics' offensive momentum also followed.

However, Durant and Davis of the Pelicans blossomed inside and out, and the offensive continued unabated, and the point difference was quickly opened.

Small people can also play a big role, and Ariza embodies this vividly.

Stevens also had great trust in Ariza, and he was given a full 25 minutes of playing time in the first game.

Although he didn't play for a while, Ariza and Tatum made 5 of the latter's 15 shots when they faced each other, and completed the task excellently.

And like Holiday, because he is an old general under Stevens, the process of running-in is avoided.

The Pelicans also eventually won the game 109-93.

This game gave the Pelicans fans great confidence, and the Pelicans also boosted their morale.

This has also become the epitome of the Pelicans' second half of the season. After the lineup was fully replenished, they showed very strong competitiveness.

After a period of tragic fighting, the regular season of the 2019~2020 season finally came to an end.

east.

The Bucks showed a stronger dominance than last season, and they achieved a record of 67 wins and 15 losses.

This record is two games more than last season's 65 wins, and once again set a record in team history.

Antetokounmpo played the most brilliant season of his career so far.

Averaged 30.7 points, 11.2 rebounds, 7.2 assists, 2.1 blocks, 1.7 steals, 52% field goal percentage, and 36% three-point field goal percentage!

He has officially taken over James' title of King of the Eastern Conference and has become another dark cloud hanging over the Eastern Conference team.

The Celtics are second with 55 wins.

The Big Three of Walker, Tatum and Griffin are strong.

Especially Tatum, the prospect who had been given high hopes finally showed his strength, averaging 22.8 points and 6.5 rebounds per game, becoming one of the top small forwards in the Eastern Conference.

The Pacers are third with 53 wins.

The purpose of sending Bogdanovic was to strengthen Sabonis, and getting Crowder strengthened their defensive capabilities on the flanks.

Coupled with the cornerstone Ball and Oladipo's double guns in the backcourt, and a high-quality insider like Turner.

The Pacers can quickly replace the Raptors after their decline, and their lineup is critical.

The Raptors, Pistons, Nets, Magic, and Bulls ranked 4th to 8th.

There is good news and bad news for Chinese fans.

The bad news is that after the World Cup last year with injuries, Yi Jianlian missed many games due to injuries at the beginning of the season, and the Nets' record was also affected.

The good news is that Yi Jianlian remained in good condition after his comeback, and the Nets finally made it back to the playoffs.

The first round matchup on the Eastern side also came out.

The Bucks play the Bulls, the Celtics play the Magic, the Pacers play the Nets, and the Raptors play the Pistons.

If nothing else, the Eastern Conference will end up with a battle between the Bucks and the Celtics, and the Bucks will continue to reach the finals with a high probability.

West side.

This year's west is really full of gunpowder. If it is a real war, blood will flow like a river by this time.

The Spurs' record of 62 wins and 20 losses ranks first.

The Spurs' record has dropped, but the fundamental reason is not that their strength has weakened, but that their opponents have become stronger. The scene of 12 into 8 does not happen every year.

It is very difficult not to get your shoes wet when you often stand by the river, and it is naturally difficult to win a high game.

The Pelicans are second in the West with 56 wins and 26 losses.

Durant played the most brilliant season of his career, averaging 30.8 points, 7.1 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game, shooting 52% from the field and 41% from three-pointers.

Playing the peak performance at the age of 31 may not be thought of by anyone, including Durant himself.

But sometimes things are so magical.

And in addition to Durant, Davis' performance is also very stable, averaging 25.6 points, 12.5 rebounds, 3.1 blocks and 2.1 steals per game, and his shooting percentage is as high as 55%.

The two of them, one inside and one outside, made up for the vacancy left by Tang Tian after he retired.

The Lakers ranked third with 55 wins and 27 losses.

Their record was overtaken by the Pelicans at the last minute.

This performance is not bad, but it does make Lake Mi and Jamie a little uncomfortable, because what they lost was the home court advantage in the semifinals.

The Mavericks are fourth at 50-32.

Siakam performed well for the Mavericks, and the Mavericks also stabilized in the upper half.

For both the Pelicans and the Mavericks, the deal at the trade deadline now looks like a win-win.

The 5th to 8th places are the Clippers, Kings, Rockets, and Warriors.

It is worth noting that the Rockets suffered a wave of injuries in the second half of the season, which made them fall all the way to seventh in the ranking.

With the determination of the ranking, the first round of the Western Conference will also be determined.

The Spurs played the Warriors, the Pelicans played the Rockets, the Lakers played the Kings, and the Mavericks played the Clippers.

Such a matchup is obviously not good news for the Pelicans.

The Rockets fell to this position due to injuries, and are not much weaker than the Clippers in the second half.

In other words, he shouldn't be on the seventh team, but at least the fifth team.

However, when this match came out, the domestic fans were extremely excited.

The reason for the excitement is naturally the previous Morey incident.

Although Morey has been forced to resign, and his whereabouts are still unknown.

But if Morey's former team can be knocked out in the first round, it will definitely be a happy event for domestic fans who regard the Pelicans as the home team.
