At the end of the regular season, the rankings of all parties are as follows. The Western Conference is the first Golden State Warriors, the second Los Angeles Lakers, the third San Antonio Spurs, the fourth Portland Trail Blazers, the fifth Los Angeles Clippers, and the sixth Dallas Mavericks.
, seventh Oklahoma City Thunder, eighth Houston Rockets. According to the match rules, the Warriors played against the Rockets, the Lakers played against the Thunder, the Spurs played against the Mavericks, and the Trail Blazers played against the Clippers.
The rankings in the second half of the Western Conference are very confusing. Many are tied, and rankings are based on season wins and losses.
The Thunder were wronged. In the last few games, Durant sprained his foot, so they suffered a losing streak, and then fell directly from fourth in the Western Conference to seventh in the Western Conference. Fortunately, Durant came back at the last moment, otherwise,
It’s still unclear whether we can enter this year’s Western Conference playoffs. But because we fell too far behind, even if we enter, we still have to face one of the three teams: the Warriors, Lakers, and Spurs. But the Thunder
Everyone thinks his strength is more than that, so on ESPN's analysis list, the Lakers vs. Thunder group has the highest expectation index.
Why is the expectation index the highest? Isn't it because they feel that the strength difference between the Lakers and Thunder is not that big.
For the rest, such as the Warriors and Spurs, ESPN has given them a high probability of sweeping them.
This is really ESPN's consistent style, but it has also been approved by many outside experts and reporters, because the so-called "king combination" is not that weak. It is very powerful if you attack them hard. To beat them, you have to lose a lot of flesh.
Tang Qian scoffed at this prediction. The Thunder are very strong, but do you really think they can win? Especially the "black seven probability", which is as high as 35%. Are you sure you are not kidding us?
I just like to slap ESPN's little face.
Tang Qian is not idle this time. As the boss of the team, he must take the lead in many things. The Lakers' goal this season is definitely not just the Western Conference finals. So in the first round? Whoever thinks they will lose will have to diss him hard.
Who. ESPN was naturally not to be outdone. They used big data models to analyze the Lakers and Thunder games in recent years. They believed that there were many anxious situations, so it would never be easy. Tang Qian was "for the sake of team morale"
bluff".
Tang Qian spoke out through the Los Angeles Ontology media: After the series is over, I will follow you one by one. I hope you still have the nerve to continue saying this. Tang Qian did what he said. He really tweeted these people.
Find someone to record it, and then wait for the series to end and then take it out one by one to ridicule. Some people think it's tough for Tang Qian to do this, and some people think it's unnecessary to do this, but what do others think of Tang Qian's business? He
Now that we have come to this point, do we still care about this kind of external voice? Funny, all the fans in this world are "winners". So as long as you win and become a winner, no matter how shady you are,
Your people can only say with such a stern face: It smells so good!
So this matter was not taken seriously by Tang Qian at all. All he wanted to do was win.
After a phone call with his parents, Taylor, and others, he turned off his mobile phone and the Internet as usual. This period was the state of preparation for the playoffs. He only had basketball in his eyes. Over the years, almost everyone around him also
Everyone is used to Tang Qian's approach, and no one says anything more. The playoffs are here, and as a basketball player, there is nothing good or bad about focusing on yourself.
From the moment Tang Qian turned off his phone, he silently said in his heart: Okay, the playoffs have begun.
This season, we will definitely fight until the end!
must!!!
In the Eastern direction, the top eight teams are the Cleveland Cavaliers first in the Eastern Conference, the Toronto Raptors second in the Eastern Conference, the Miami Heat third in the Eastern Conference, the Atlanta Hawks fourth in the Eastern Conference, and the Boston Celtics fifth in the Eastern Conference.
, the sixth-place Charlotte Hornets in the Eastern Conference, the seventh-placed Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference, and the eighth-placed Detroit Pistons in the Eastern Conference. The Bulls have started high and low this season, and Rose's decline has disappointed many people. To be honest, Wind
City Rose, it is estimated that it will not be easy to stay in Chicago after this season. Because Chicago has waited for him for so many years and given him enough recovery time and an injury contract. Now that he has not been able to enter the playoffs, the management
It's normal for people to run out of patience. Even Jordan would probably be kicked out if he couldn't make it to the playoffs after so many years and his performance in leading the team declined year by year.
The NBA is a competitive league and a business league, so there is no problem in doing so.
Besides, the Bulls weren't too bad at Rose.
Rose has received close to $100 million in Chicago over the years. You can't say that the Bulls are sorry for him.
So even if Rose is dissatisfied in the end, there is nothing he can do. He really needs to make a good adjustment, adjust his mentality and court positioning, so that he can perform better. He should still use the mentality of the MVP back then to demand of himself, this,
It's really a bit difficult.
And for so many years, he has not practiced three-pointers, which is also a big fatal flaw.
If he can practice three-pointers well, maybe he will have the chance to be reborn. Otherwise, if he becomes a success all the way, this will really be his end. It is not impossible that he will eventually become without the ball. It’s just that Rose himself is still a little bit weak right now.
It’s just that he has not overcome the “pride of MVP”. This is up to him. No one can help him. There are many miracles and stories in the NBA. It depends on what he will choose and how he will decide in the end.
One thing that is more interesting is that from the third in the Eastern Conference to the sixth in the Eastern Conference, the four teams all have the same record. They all have 48 wins. Such a strange situation is also relatively rare. If they can win one more game, the Hornets can do it.
Run to third place. Alas, Mr. Qiao is really getting ready to make a move just sitting in the boss's chair.
Why are these little brats so unsatisfactory? They can't win one more game, so they just break out randomly. Will it be better soon?
Oh, I am so angry.
After a few days of short rest, the playoffs begin. The teams that have entered the playoffs are ready to go and start fighting for the championship spot. The teams that have not entered the playoffs have begun planning for the future in advance.
Or take a group vacation to fish. On April 16, 2016, US time, the playoffs began. Four games were played on the first day. The Pacers defeated the Raptors 100-90 with 10 points. The pseudo-powerful Raptors,
At the beginning of this season, he once again made a name for himself. George scored 33 points alone. He scored more points than DeRozan and Lowry, the two All-Star players. So this game can be predicted. The Raptors played in a mess. Below
The shooting percentage of 38% is also worrying. The Rockets played against the Warriors. Although Harden and Paul seemed to perform well in the back end of the regular season, in the playoffs, shortcomings of insufficient running-in and chemical reaction immediately appeared.
They were defeated by the Warriors in one fell swoop, 104-78. The Warriors won by 26 points, and the maximum lead was more than 35 points. The Rockets were completely blown away. In the first game, the Warriors showed their reputation as a 73-win team, just like momentum.
As amazing as a tiger, the playoffs also require turning on the invincible mode.
The Celtics and Hawks reached the last second, and the Hawks narrowly won by one point 102-101. Although there was no particularly big-name star in this game, it was a good game and looked very enjoyable. Both sides were fighting for their wits and courage.
It was even more attractive than the big victory in the Western Conference. The Spurs also defeated the aging Mavericks by a big score, 108-70, with 38 points. The largest lead was even greater than that of the Warriors, reaching 48.
In terms of points, it was overall one-sided, and there was no suspense from the first quarter.
The Lakers game is on the 17th.
Everyone can't wait.
PS: It’s the playoffs, Xiaozi organizes his thoughts~
