On April 2, the Wizards lost to the Kings at home 99-105. The gap with the Nets, the top player in the Eastern Conference, widened to 3 games. In theory, they still have a chance to compete for first place.

After this game, the Wizards had a simple schedule, winning consecutive games against the underdog Hawks, Cavaliers, Heat, Celtics and other teams.

Until the end of the season, the Celtics were unable to get out of trouble. The management specially hired a doctor to help Vin Baker get rid of his dependence on alcohol, but the results were of little effect. He was also punished by the team for drinking during the season.

On the 14th, the Wizards lost to the 76ers 100-107 on the road.

Jordan scored 33 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, his average points per game rose to 1 point, and he also had 1 rebound and 5 assists, completing an important personal task.

The 76ers want to compete for playoff rankings and try their best. In the mid-term, they traded Kenny Thomas from the Rockets and partnered with Coleman in the paint to strengthen their defense.

Van Horn was reduced to a substitute, and the 76ers coaching staff also despaired of his poor defense and prepared to send him away in the summer.

In the last game, Yang Rui asked Jordan to sit out so that his data would not change.

On the 16th, the Wizards defeated the Hawks, who played all substitutes, at home and ended the regular season with a record of 58 wins and 24 losses.

Since the Wizards and Nets are in the Atlantic Division and their record is behind the Nets, they can only be ranked third. But in order to compete for the best coach award, Yang Rui still played seriously in the last few games, calling a lot of timeouts and letting the core players run tactics and try to win more games.

The Eastern Conference rankings are as follows.

The Nets ranked first in the Eastern Conference with 60 wins and 22 losses. In Yang Rui's previous life, the Nets only won 49 games this season, and the first-place Pistons only won 50 games. The top players in the Eastern Conference were much stronger.

Second is the Central Division champion Bulls.

With 56 wins and 26 losses, the Bulls' record declined after the injury to Marcus Fizer. Thibodeau's main rotation only consists of eight players, and Przbilla, who was traded, is only a blue-collar player. Although he has started many games, he has little effect on the offensive end.

The Wizards' record is better than that of the Bulls, and because they are ranked third in the division, Yang Rui is very likely to be elected as the best coach again based on his record.

The Pistons coached by Van Gundy won a record of 47 games and ranked fourth.

The Knicks ranked fifth with 45 wins, and their record dropped sharply in the second half.

Hill's injury was inevitable by chance. After his comeback, he still stuck to his old style of play, forcing breakthroughs, changing direction drastically while moving, and shaking the opponent as well as himself. The only good thing is that his surgery in New York was successful and will not affect next season.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Hill suffered a potentially fatal bacterial infection during ankle surgery in March 2003. He had a continuous high fever of 40 degrees and developed convulsions. After half a year of intravenous antibiotics, he was completely out of danger. This caused him to miss all of the 2003-2004 season.

Without Hill, the Knicks won't have much of a future. They're lucky to get past the Pistons in the first round.

The sixth place is the Pacers. "Assassin" Isiah Thomas finally led the team into the playoffs and will face the Wizards in the first round.

The 76ers finished seventh and successfully avoided the Nets to face the Bulls.

The Raptors ranked eighth and barely made the playoffs with 42 wins. Everyone believed they would be eliminated by the Nets in the first round.

No. 9-15 are the Hornets, Celtics, Bucks, Magic, Hawks, Heat, and Cavaliers respectively.

The Hornets could have made the playoffs, but due to Mashburn's injury, they were surpassed by the 76ers and Raptors later on. Mashburn saved the Raptors, otherwise they would be like the 99 Bulls and become the defending champion team that did not make the playoffs.

In the West, the Mavericks are first with a record of 60 wins and 22 losses, which means that the team's core Dirk Nowitzki is likely to win the regular season MVP, which is the first foreign regular season MVP in NBA history. He averaged 39 minutes per game and scored 1 point, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 steals and 1 block, which was not inferior to any superstar.

Jordan looks down on Nowitzki's style of inside man. In fact, Nowitzki is a greater offensive threat than Garnett and Duncan, and may be the most offensive among power forwards.

However, it is difficult for Nelson to win the best coach because the Mavericks' record last season was not bad and there was not much improvement.

The Kings ranked second with 57 wins; the Spurs ranked third with 53 wins; and the Suns ranked fourth with 52 wins, gaining home court advantage in the first round.

5-8 are Timberwolves, Trail Blazers, Lakers, and Rockets respectively.

The strength of the Western Conference has become weaker. The Rockets entered the playoffs with 42 wins and will face the Mavericks in the first round.

The Lakers' seventh place is extremely bad news for the Kings. They clearly have a good record, but they have to chew hard every round.

Ranked 9-14 are the SuperSonics, Warriors, Jazz, Grizzlies, Clippers, and Nuggets.

The regular season data kings are announced.

Kobe averaged 30 points per game and won the scoring title for the first time in his career. His outstanding performance will cause variables in the Lakers' summer contract extension.

The conflict between Kobe and O'Neal has become public. The media has repeatedly reported that O'Neal is dissatisfied with the Lakers' three losses in the Finals and hopes that the team will trade Kobe in exchange for other star partners. Kobe won the scoring title, which proved that he has more potential. He is younger than O'Neal. If the Lakers sign a long-term contract with O'Neal and build a team around the fat man, it may become a garbage contract in the future.

Ben Wallace of the Knicks won the rebounding title, averaging 8 per game. With him around, it would be difficult for Yao Ming to grab rebounds.

The assists king was once again won by Jason Kidd of the Nets, averaging 1 assist per game.

The block leader is Theo Ratliff of the Hawks, averaging 3 per game.

Iverson once again led the team in steals, averaging 7 per game.

On the 17th and 18th, each team rested to prepare for the playoffs. Yang Rui and the coaching staff worked overtime to determine the 13-man roster for the playoffs.

Center: Laettner, Haywood, Stoudemire.

Power forward: Marshall, Gerald Wallace, Boozer.

Small forward: Jordan, Maggette.

Shooting Guard: Hamilton, Laga Bell.

Point guard: Alston, David Wesley, Tyronn Lue.

Barnes and Padgett were excluded.

In terms of defense, Barnes is not as good as Bell and Wallace, both of whom can play multiple positions. In terms of offense, Barnes is not as good as Alston and Tyronn Lue, and there is no place for him in the team.

Yang Rui has formulated a complete plan. When the opponent's lineup has average attack power, he can use small ball tactics and let Wesley play the 2nd position to speed up the game. The Wizards have no shortage of players on the outside.

Padgett is in an awkward position with the Wizards. His only role is to rely on his height advantage to shoot three-pointers. He has poor confrontation and is not very good at defense. Yang Rui poached him as insurance. He was worried that a three-point shooter on the team would be injured. If Marshall couldn't play, Padgett would have to be brought in the playoffs.

Now that the team has a complete lineup, Padgett is naturally no longer needed.

The Pacers have also determined their lineup, mainly relying on the trident of Reggie Miller, Brad Miller, and Jaylen Rose.

The old Miller finally met Jordan in the playoffs, but Thomas would not let him play against Jordan, but planned to use Jaylen Rose as the main defense. Miller's statistics have declined severely this season, averaging 30 minutes per game, 6 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists. Although his speed is still good, the confrontation is getting worse and worse, and he basically has no defense.

The first game between the two sides was played in Washington. There was no national live broadcast. China's cctv5 also went to broadcast the Knicks game. It was Yao Ming's first playoff trip. Compared with Yang Rui's previous life, Yao Ming entered the playoffs earlier, which is also good news.

The Wizards received no media attention because experts predicted this would be a one-sided game.

ESPN expert Nicholas said: "Sweeping the first round of the playoffs is a habit of the team led by Yang Rui, and I think he will keep this record. The Pacers defeated the Wizards in the regular season, but the playoffs are completely different. "

The Pacers' coaching staff and players have kept a low profile. Faced with the media's negative comments, they did not refute and lacked confidence.
