Because of Chen Jie's appearance, this NBA season, the 2004-05 season, is already very different from the season Chen Jie knew before.
In the Eastern Conference, the Pistons, who have just won the championship, are at the top of the list, with a record of 20 wins and 3 losses, three games ahead of the second place Cavaliers. However, the Cavaliers' performance this season is not weak, with a record of 18 wins and 6 losses.
Far exceeding pre-season expectations, it also makes little Emperor James' playoff dream possible earlier than in history.
After the Cavaliers, there is the Bulls, whose 11-game winning streak has just ended. The youthful storm at the beginning of the season and the subsequent 11-game winning streak have made the Bulls' current record very good, ranking firmly in third place. If it weren't for Chen
Jay was injured and lost three games in a row after losing to the Heat. It is estimated that the Bulls now have the possibility of challenging the Pistons.
The Heat were supposed to be the Eastern Conference champions this season, but after they were slow to gain momentum, they encountered the Bulls. After a fight, the main players of the two teams were suspended. The Heat's record declined again, and now they are only
It is 14 wins and 12 losses, with a record of just over 50%, ranking fifth in the Eastern Conference. The Pacers, who were originally ranked fourth, also suffered the same fate as the Heat after the brawl in Auburn Hills.
, has now fallen to eighth place, and the Wizards, with Agent No. 0 Arenas, has now risen to fourth place. Arenas' performance has also been very eye-catching recently, often performing high-scoring performances.
The sixth place is the 76ers led by Iverson. Now they have actually fallen. You must know that three years ago, they were still strong contenders for the Eastern Conference championship.
The Nets are ranked seventh. With Kidd Carter-Jefferson's trident, they have initially demonstrated their power.
The Celtics, who were supposed to make a slight recovery this season, are still in utter trouble, ranking 11th in the Eastern Conference. The two teams ahead of them are the Knicks and the Milwaukee Bucks, which have a luxurious lineup.
After that, there is the Magic team with this year's No. 1 pick Howard and Francis, who just came from the Rockets in exchange for Tracy McGrady. In fact, originally, the Magic team had a hope of entering the playoffs this season, but because of the emergence of Chen Jie, the original addition of
Howard's halo has lost a lot. This super center who is not used to no one paying attention, his performance is not eye-catching enough, which also affects the Magic's record.
The Raptors, the new Bobcats, and the last-place Eagles are now recognized as weaklings.
In the West, as Chen Jie is well aware, the Phoenix Suns are a small ball storm, unrivaled, with a record of 22 wins and 3 losses. Not only are they first in the Western Conference, they are also first in the league. Followed closely by are also competing for
The Dallas Mavericks, who have championship potential, have a better record than the Cavaliers and Bulls, with 19 wins and 5 losses.
The old and strong Spurs are ranked third, and the Rockets' record is ranked fourth. However, because there are two teams in the same district that squeeze into the top three, because according to the rules, they can only be ranked second with Ray Allen.
and the Lewis Twins behind the Sonics.
The Kings, Nuggets, Grizzlies, and Timberwolves are considered the second echelon of the Western Conference, ranking sixth to ninth. The Lakers are ranked tenth, two games away from the eighth-placed Grizzlies, and there is still hope of making an impact.
of the playoffs.
Although O'Neal is gone, Payton is gone, and Malone is retired, but with a paranoid victory maniac like Kobe, the Lakers cannot fail.
Going forward, the Warriors, Hornets, the Jazz, who have performed poorly this season, and the Trail Blazers, known as a star black hole, seem to have decided to compete for next year's No. 1 pick!
Generally speaking, this season, the Western Conference is still stronger than the Eastern Conference, but because of a dark horse like the Bulls, the Eastern Conference will not lag too far behind the Western Conference in terms of record. But if it is really a tough battle, the Eastern Conference will only have
The Pistons can also compete with the Suns, Mavericks and Rockets-Spurs in the West.
The Bull Cavaliers, in the Western Conference, are at best the level of the Kings and Nuggets.
But although the strong teams in the Western Conference are very strong, there are also too many weak teams and they are too weak.
Compared to the three fish bellies in the east, there are four in the west.
The Trail Blazers, Hornets, Warriors, and Jazz, these four teams, all seem to have no ambition this season.
The structure of the Western Conference is still too divided between strengths and weaknesses. Simply put, the intensity of the Western Conference's competition for playoff qualification is definitely not as fierce as that of the Eastern Conference.
In the West, the final estimate is that four teams will compete for two spots. In the East, if the Celtics can work hard, even they have hope of entering the playoffs.
The top four in the Western Conference have obvious advantages. Without major surprises, the top five will not even change.
But in the Eastern Conference, except for the Pistons, no one's ranking is stable, and no team dares to say that it can definitely enter the playoffs.
Even the second-place Cavaliers and third-place Bulls dare not take it lightly at any time.
The current situation of the alliance is roughly the same.
Chen Jie spends some time online almost every day to check out the games and records of other teams, so he knows everything about them.
Seeing that the Suns won again today, Chen Jie sighed leisurely.
He naturally knows that the Suns, who play small ball, seem to have a good record in the regular season, but every time it comes to the critical moment of competing for the playoffs, they always seem to be unable to fight a tough battle.
This season, before the Bulls are qualified to compete for the championship, the results should not change much.
Even if the Heat, which O'Neal just joined, can meet the Pistons, the result will probably be the same as in history. The combination of Wade and O'Neal will not even win the Eastern Conference championship this year.
As for the Western Conference, if the Rockets still meet the Mavericks in the playoffs, it may still be a bit uncertain, but they should have no problem playing the SuperSonics.
As for the Western Conference championship, if nothing else happens, the Spurs still have the best chance.
The championship battle should still be between the new champion Pistons and the old powerhouse Spurs.
As for who has a greater chance of winning, Chen Jie is still more optimistic about the Spurs.
While he was still paying attention to the news, the door to the room was pushed open, and Li Ming'er walked in wearing a sexy pajamas.
With a little shyness and a little temptation, Li Ming'er looked at Chen Jie and said softly: "My dear, it's very late, we should rest!"
The implication in this sentence is extremely obvious.
Chen Jie is naturally not a fool.
Although Chen Jie had just fought with Jessica during the day and was not too horny or thirsty, he still swallowed a mouthful of saliva subconsciously when he saw Li Ming'er dressed like this.
I originally thought I was paying the public salary, but now it seems that I still can't stand the temptation of my own woman.
Chen Jie chuckled, closed the laptop, stepped forward and hugged Li Ming'er... (To be continued...)
