The shocking 1997-1998 season regular season ended.

The final ranking was determined, and the playoff matchup chart was released after the last game between the Lakers and Jazz in the last game of the regular season.

In the Eastern Conference, the Pacers with 62 wins and 20 losses ranked first, the Bulls with 61 wins and 21 losses ranked second, the Heat with 56 wins and 26 losses ranked third, the 76ers with 54 wins and 28 losses ranked fourth, the Hornets with 50 wins and 32 losses ranked fifth, the Knicks with 46 wins and 36 losses ranked sixth, the Hawks with 45 wins and 37 losses ranked seventh, and the Cavaliers with 45 wins and 37 losses ranked eighth.

In the Western Conference, the Lakers with 73 wins and 9 losses ranked first, the Supersonics with 61 wins and 21 losses ranked second, the Jazz with 61 wins and 21 losses ranked third, the Suns with 53 wins and 29 losses ranked fourth, the Spurs with 52 wins and 30 losses ranked fifth, the Trail Blazers with 52 wins and 30 losses ranked sixth, the Timberwolves with 46 wins and 36 losses ranked seventh, and the Rockets with 41 wins and 41 losses ranked eighth.

The Pacers and Cavaliers, the Sixers and Hornets, the Supersonics and Timberwolves, the Jazz and Trail Blazers, the four-group series kicks off the season's playoffs on April 24.

The Bulls and Hawks, Heat and Knicks, Suns and Spurs, Lakers and Rockets, four groups will start their first series matchup on April 25.

Just like in previous years, the first place in the East was unveiled and the first place in the West was the first to pick the big axle.

The Lakers' regular season that shocked the world was over, with a record of 73 wins and 9 losses.

In the past two seasons, everyone thought that 70 wins and 12 losses was the ultimate NBA regular season record. Even if a team broke the best record of 70 wins and 12 losses in the future, it would take at least a few decades. After all, after the Lakers created a record of 69 wins and 13 losses, it took 24 years before a team broke. During this period, the Celtics fought a record of the best record of the mortal enemy, but they only "successfully" reached 68 wins and 14 losses.

But the Lakers broke the record like this!

Moreover, Zhang Hao announced in advance that he wanted to break the record with 20 games left, and then, he really broke the record!

The entire basketball world is discussing the Lakers' 73 wins and 9 losses. The Bulls' back-to-back 70 wins are unprecedented, but the Lakers have caught up with the Bulls' back-to-back 70 wins this season!

Although there is a precedent for not winning the championship with 70 wins, it is still in the recent season.

However, this cannot affect the Lakers' identity as the biggest favorite to win the championship.

The media, experts, and fans did not analyze the playoffs as they did in the past seasons, and analyzed a certain star... all discussing the Lakers.

Even if there is a rookie who may have really entered the modern basketball era this year, who is stronger and more dazzling than Larry Bird and Zhang Hao, but it has not attracted so much attention like Zhang Hao in the 1995-96 season...

O'Neal's health this season is quite good, and he feels like he was in the first three years of his career. He played 79 games, averaged 34.4 minutes per game, 29 points, 11.9 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 2.8 blocks, a shooting percentage of 58.4%, and a free throw percentage of 49.1%.

Kenny Anderson played all this season, averaging 31.6 minutes per game, 17.3 points, 2.5 rebounds, 6.6 assists and 1.8 steals, 45.6% shooting percentage, and 34.4% three-point shooting percentage.

Jason Williams has played 80 games this season, averaging 23.2 minutes per game, 6.5 points, 11 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.1 blocks.

Rick Fox, played 76 games this season, averaging 25.3 minutes per game, averaging 9.1 points, 4 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.2 steals per game.

Doug Christie, played 78 games this season, averaging 27.1 minutes per game, 10.3 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.6 steals.

Zhang Hao attended all this season, averaging 38.3 minutes per game. With 61 points in the curtain call, he averaged 26.1 points per game. Although it was a career low, he averaged 7.2 assists per game, which was three times that of last season!

Zhang Hao averaged 26.1 points, 7.6 rebounds, 7.2 assists, 1.1 steals and 2.1 blocks, scores, rebounds, blocks, and three data averaged, but the assists and steals were greatly improved!

This season, there are only two players averaging 20+5+5 levels per game. One is Grant Hill of the Pistons, who averaged 22 points, 7.2 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game. The other is Zhang Hao!

The performance of O'Neal and Zhang Hao this season and the results he led the team have become the strongest duo in people's minds!

...

...

"Aix, look, the Rockets' car has arrived."

"Well, I'm going to fight them again."

"Oh, by the way, you lost to Olajuwon in your rookie year."

"Yes, it's a pity that Olajuwon is old too."

"Yes, if he was still in his prime, I would be more motivated to fight them this year... Forget it, they're leaving it to you, I have to have a good rest and prepare for the subsequent game."

"If you want to be lazy, just say it!"

"Who wants to be lazy! What did you say before? I'm called raising energy!"

“…”

I have achieved success. No matter what happens when I am separated, when I recall that time in the future, I always think of beautiful things.

When it comes to failure, only the only thing I remember is dissatisfaction with each other, and most of the memories are negative emotions.

The championship last season, the best record in the regular season history this season, now the Lakers are in the sweetest honeymoon period.

Zhang Hao and O'Neal chatted more privately, and Zhang Hao could see O'Neal's thick skin every day.

Chatting, the staff notified their TV station people to come.

After the regular season, the Lakers have 3 days off. Yesterday, fans thanked the event, the team had a dinner together, today's rest day, tomorrow for the series against the Rockets, and the first round began the day after tomorrow.

Today, Zhang Hao and O'Neal both came to the stadium and accepted an exclusive interview with T.N.T.

The interview is without suspense. The current No. 1 Lake Blow... To be precise, No. 1 Hao Blow - Charles Barkley.

Yesterday, on the first offseason day after the regular season, Barkley blew up Zhang Hao's performance this year in a roundtable meeting held by the retired superstar, famous commentator and experts invited by T.N.T Sports Station.

Major TV stations have clear tendencies to attract fans in a fixed direction.

Who makes Americans love to take sides the most?

T.N.T has been standing opposite the Lakers for the past ten years. Although the United States likes the Lakers more fans, it doesn’t like more. Therefore, the ratings of T.N.T Sports Channel have always been good.

At this time, a Barkley came out and Zhang Hao was blowing all day long. It felt like a spy came out of T.N.T.

But apart from Barkley, the rest of T.N.T Sports Station is still old-fashioned. Without having much impact on the original viewing group, T.N.T has also been loved by many Lakers fans and Zhang Hao fans.

When he arrived at the interview site, Barkley discussed the details of the shooting with the camera.

"Aix, Charles is really professional!"

"I heard that he has studied journalism and media at the University of Southern California for two semesters, and it may be over if he has one semester left."

"The book is not in vain!"

After adjusting the camera, Barkley walked up to the two of them, spreading his arms: "Oh, our XO, long time no see!"

"Haha, Charles, your retirement life is very rich!" O'Neal greeted him and hugged him together.

Zhang Hao asked in confusion: "Didn't we see it after the last game the day before yesterday?"

“…”

“…”

Barkley pointed at the camera. In addition to the T.N.T lens, there were also shots from the imperial court station.

Zhang Hao then remembered that in almost a month, the cameras of the imperial court would appear around him at any time. Sometimes he would discuss with him, posing for him to get up, breakfast, etc.

Sometimes I made an appointment and started shooting when he left the house.

In the Time Warner Training Hall, there are cameras to shoot him at any time.

In addition to shooting him, he will also interview some of his teammates after each game, from the strongest teammate O'Neal to the team's marginalist Corey Blunt, everyone has interviews.

Over time, I got used to it.

At this time, Barkley's helpless expression was quickly seized by the cameramen of both TV stations, and both lamented that the retired superstar's sense of camera was so good.

After a wave of greetings, the three of them sat down and started the interview.

"Shake, if you were so self-disciplined last year as this year, our record last year should be better than the Bulls. You made me lose the opportunity to be one of the best record in history! As long as you play 20 more games last year, we might have won 73 last year!"

"Who told you to retire? We still have a position we have not signed. Do you know why? I left you a place! How about it, do you want to make a comeback?"

"Is that true? Why did I interview the logo man? He said that he had never found the most suitable candidate player, so he simply didn't sign the 15th player?"

"He is so embarrassed to say that if you are there, we might have won more than 73 wins this year, and we might have won 83 wins!"

"I feel even more regretful when you say that, but if I, you, Aix, and the three of us have been partnering, there will be no suspense. It will be unchallenging for us to win the championship together. I think I need to retire to help you increase the difficulty."

""

Barkley and O'Neal are praising each other, and a calm voice sounded: "There are only 82 games in the regular season. Although Mr. O'Neal was absent for more than 30 games last year, we did not lose much in those 30 games. We should have only had a maximum of 65 wins last year."

“…”

“…”

The two fat men looked at Zhang Hao speechless...

Can you not be so real?

Bragging! Do you know what bragging is?

However, Barkley was professional and asked Zhang Hao: "Aix, have you made plans from the beginning of this season and wanted to break the record?"

Zhang Hao shook his head: "No, I thought at first I could win 55 times in the defending season, but I didn't expect..."

"I didn't expect it?"

"I didn't expect that my opponent would be so careless. When I hit the back, my goal was to win 71. Who knew that my opponent would still be so careless and would win 73 by accident."

Good guy, Barkley felt the feeling when he went to interview Big Birds after the Pacers secured the first place in the East not long ago.

Damn it, he and Dafa are bragging. When others hear it, they know that they are bragging. Zhang Hao is so bragging. When he hears it, he feels that Zhang Hao is telling a fact!

Opponent, without any attack...

Barkley decided to change the topic. If it were Big Bird, he would definitely find a point to fight back, but Zhang Hao would be right no matter how he played.

"Aix, who do you think this year's MVP will be?"

Zhang Hao pointed at O'Neal.
