Chapter 525 Playoff Situation

Chapter 525 Playoff Situation

Bucks VS Pacers.

Similar to Embiid's situation, Antetokounmpo is also forcing the palace this year, forcing the team to strengthen and compete for the championship.

Antetokounmpo has had enough of being stuck in the Eastern Conference Finals year after year.

Antetokounmpo's mood is similar to James who made decision one back then.

Kong has the reputation of being the proud son of heaven, but he is frequently double-teamed by his opponents in the playoffs, and he can't find Bei when he loses. This feeling is really uncomfortable.

But even so, the current Bucks are not something the Pacers can shake.

The Pacers are a civilian team, and without superstars, it will make it difficult for the Pacers to make progress in the playoffs.

76ers VS Cavaliers.

LeBron and Love are one year older. It is a miracle that LeBron returns to the Cavaliers and leads the Cavaliers back to the playoffs. Who can expect James to do more?

James has been defending with his hips more and more frequently this season, and he has a faint tendency to play soy sauce.

However, James is still very strong, but he just fell from the T0 level to the lower reaches of T1.

Heat VS Celtics.

Last year, the Heat were a dark horse all the way, counterattacking the Celtics and joining the Lakers in the Finals.

Butler left too deep an impression on fans last year.

Butler, the lone hero, performed miracles time and time again, helping the Heat climb one mountain after another.

Although Butler has a great reputation this season, the Heat's playoffs are still difficult.

The Heat and the Celtics met in the first round, and it was destined to be a preview of the Eastern Conference Finals.

After the Eastern Conference rankings are determined, it will be the turn of the more competitive Western Conference.

Among the Western powerhouses, the Warriors, Trail Blazers, Thunder, and Spurs all failed to make the playoffs.

There is no doubt that the cruelty of competition in the west is much higher than that in the east.

The Western Conference playoff rankings from first to eighth are:

Clippers, Nuggets, Jazz, Mavericks, Lakers, Rockets, Pelicans, Grizzlies.

Among these eight teams, the Lakers are the most improved team in the second half of the schedule, while the Grizzlies are just the opposite. They are the team that regressed the most in the second half.

The first round of the series that the Grizzlies will face in the first round is the Los Angeles Clippers, who have improved to a higher degree.

At the beginning of the new season, the Clippers played an incomparable momentum.

Leonard's performance this season can be called horror.

With an average of 36.6 points, 11.1 assists and 9.6 rebounds per game, he became the player with the highest MVP calls while winning the scoring title in the new season.

Leonard is in his prime and is regarded as Kobe's successor.

In the new season, Leonard has almost wiped out Kobe's skills, and he has also become the most Kobe-like player in the entire NBA.

Leonard's self-taught showmanship without apprenticeship really made Kobe so angry.

If it weren't for the fact that the league doesn't allow teamwork now, Kobe really wanted to fool Leonard, let him come to the Lakers, and continue to play brother basketball with Ge Feng.

However, brothers holding together is already something that fans are not allowed to happen again...

Leonard has countless honors in the playoffs, but the only pity is that he has never won the regular season MVP.

This year is the season that Leonard is most likely to win the MVP.

The media began to build momentum frantically. Under the instigation of the media's ulterior motives, the gaming company gave the Clippers and the Grizzlies the odds, almost reaching 1:7.5.

The "three picks" of the Grizzlies, leading the team to the playoffs for the first time, will face hell-level opponents like the Clippers.

But this may be a good thing for Morant, Clark, and Jackson.

The rookie jumps too high at the beginning and tends to sprain his feet.

Not every rookie is called James.

There are many talented high school students who shock the world every year in the basketball world, but James is the only one who can finally become James.

The vast majority of geniuses will perish on the road to fame...

Morant, Jackson, and Clark have unlimited potential. Skilled players like them must play steadily in order to go higher.

Nuggets vs. Pelicans

The Pelicans are a dark horse rising in the new season. In addition to the No. 17 pick Lang Zion selected by the Pelicans, the Pelicans also have another No. [-] pick who is deeply hidden-Walker.

Walker can be said to be a surprise surprise for the Pelicans.

在锡安左膝受伤，接受手术的常规赛期间，沃克打出场均27分6助攻4板2.6断1帽的华丽数据。

The Pelicans are a team dominated by rookies.

The core Ingram, Zion, role players Walker, Hayes, Holiday, and Ball are all rookies that the Pelicans have acquired in the past five years.

The youngest and oldest of them, Ingram, is only 24 years old. The future of the Pelicans team is really a talent visible to the naked eye.

However, before young players like Ball and Zion fully grow up, the Pelicans still have a high probability of giving way to the Nuggets.

Jokic played like a duck to water in the Nuggets, and his needlework inside made the entire league miserable.

Jokic's offensive creativity is endless.

As long as the management is willing to match Jokic with a group of excellent system players, the effect that the Nuggets can play will not be worse than other teams.

The Nuggets will be the biggest favorites to win this year.

jazz vs rocket

Harden and Westbrook, the pair of difficult brothers, did not have a good chemical reaction after the Rockets reunited.

In the past two years, the Rockets have gone further and further away from the goal of the championship.

During the offseason, Harden once broke out that he wanted to leave the Rockets in exchange for a championship trophy.

But in the end, under the pressure of public opinion "anti-grouping", the bearded man was forced to choose to stay with the Rockets.

Paul tweeted and taunted Harden afterwards: "Embarrassing... Big Beard... Didn't you say that as long as you replace me, you can win the championship?"

Harden immediately tweeted back: "I don't discuss the championship with the audience who can't even make the playoffs."

A mutual hate tweet officially put the relationship between the two on the table.

The prospects for the Rockets look very bad, which makes it difficult for them to beat this year's Jazz.

In fact, the Jazz's current lineup, whether it is a starter or a substitute, basically can only barely reach the ranks of the general strong teams, and there is still some distance from the championship favorites.

The current star of the Jazz is Mitchell.

Although this defender with the 13th overall pick has shown good strength in recent years, due to reasons such as height and talent, Mitchell's development has basically reached the upper limit, and it will be difficult to tap any more potential in the future.

In addition to Mitchell, let's talk about Gobert, the team's inside core.

Although he is tall and long and has excellent defense, his offensive methods are very lacking, and his ability to dominate the ball is also very limited.

These two shortcomings make it very difficult for Gobert to integrate with the current small ball style of play, which is very detrimental to the enrichment and change of the Jazz's offensive tactics.

As for Conley, who currently holds the Jazz's maximum contract of 3400 million annual salary, he is even more cancerous to the team.
