The Warriors returned to San Francisco with their heads held high. What they left for the Cavaliers was a two-game losing streak.

James' bloodiness was not finally replaced by victory. Although under his inspiration, the rest of the Cavaliers also fought hard in the end, the pit they dug in the first three quarters was too big and could not be made up for the fourth quarter. In the end, they could only watch their opponents play triumphant songs at home.

The little emperor felt unprecedented frustration, not because he lost the game, but because he became afraid of the team's future.

Before April, or before playing against the Spurs and the Warriors, he was confident and confident that he should win a championship this season. This is his sixth season in the league. Jordan the Great won the first ring in the seventh season. He can get one season ahead of schedule. In some ways, he should be much better than the Great, right?

You know, Jordan had a strong man named Pippen charging in the battle back then. The little emperor looked around and had many teammates, and they were all quite capable. However, compared with Pippen, the lineup was relatively shabby, so his championship value would definitely be higher than that of Jordan.

The little emperor must have this confidence. His team has achieved an unprecedented 6 sex games. This is the Cavaliers' record and is expected to break the 21st century league victory record. Their team has Big Valaischo and Big Ben and a group of powerful players on the outside. In addition, his quasi-MPR spoon bonding, such a team should be not far from the championship, right?

But the Spurs first gave him a wake-up call with a victory, and the Warriors then gave him a fatal blow with a big win of 114-99. These two results are like someone saying to him, hey, LeBron, stop dreaming, even if you can rush out of the East, how can you deal with these perverts in the West? You lost to the third and second in the West, and the first in the West, which killed your team twice this season. How did you win them in the seven-game series?

At the end of the game, Barkley said something, and he said: "The Cavaliers nowadays thought they could win the championship before the 10th, but after the 10th, they found that they might not even win the Eastern Conference championship. It's like you went to the Halloween mask party to get the slim and beautiful Snow White. When you finally took her to check in with her, she tear off the mask and let you find out that she was an old witch. Believe me, the two are the same as when it comes to attacking men.

James feels that he is even worse than the unlucky child who has been to the old witch now, because after these two games, the Cavaliers' fatal injuries have been revealed. What they are afraid of is that team-type opponent. If the opponent does not compete with them for superstars but patiently endure them, then the team will be done, even if they have a player who can score 3 per game.

In this game, the young emperor finally scored 3 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists, - steals, and 2 blocks. How about this data? The final battle of thirty teams, there was no one who played more comprehensively than him. Chamberlain's 3 points, 2 rebounds, and 6 blocks, of course, it was shocking Gu Shuojin, but it was not as comprehensive as him.

The little emperor keenly felt that the Eastern Conference playoff teams were whispering, they all discovered the Cavaliers' weaknesses, and found a way to deal with them.

The similar feeling to the Cavaliers is the Thunder. The eldest son Durant also feels like he is a witch who is in Halloween. What he feels is not horror, but embarrassment.

He always thought that the Warriors were actually just that. Although they had Chamberlain's inside and Iverson, the former league's number one killer on the outside, Chamberlain encountered a physical crisis again. Iverson was old after all, and others were crazy, West, and the young, Curry, and the broken, Hill), this team was not afraid.

This is not the opinion of Mr. Du, but the general opinion of experts, because since March, the Warriors' performance has been in a downturn. They were able to compete for the first place in the West before March. The best record was when they won the Timberwolves and the Trail Blazers. They only had a win in the Lakers with 47 wins and 13 losses, just 48 wins and 2 losses.

The Thunder team has been a surprise this season and has made it into the playoffs. Experts originally expected that they would still play this season before the game. Westbrook and Jordan Jr., who are growing rapidly, have changed all this. Of course, their abilities are limited, and reaching the playoffs is the limit. It is impossible to enter the top six. They can become seventh or eighth, and choose to play against the Lakers or the Warriors.

In the eyes of laymen, this question is not optional. It must be which opponent has a poor record. In fact, this is not the case. Basketball emphasizes tactical and incompatible lineups. Just like the Warriors in 2UU, they chose to play the eighth place in the West to play the No. 1 Mavericks in the West. As a result, a beautiful Black Eighth place. After the Thunder research, they found that it was more suitable to play the Warriors.

The Lakers also have a superstar on the outside, that is Kobe. Durant is very powerful, but when he meets Kobe, he can only die. No matter whether he is offense or defense, he will be beaten by Kobe. The Warriors are different. They have no candidates to defend Durant from the outside, who can defend the tall and powerful Durant, Billups, West, Barnes or Jackson? Stop making trouble, they are not good either, either they are not tall enough (the first two) or the speed is not enough (the last two).

The Thunder thinks that they still have half the chance to advance when playing against the Warriors, because there is another X factor that Durant and Jordan Jr. will explode in the microcosm when they meet Chamberlain.

But the last game destroyed their confidence. The unity shown by the Warriors made the young Thunder boys feel scared. They have only worked together for one season. Yes, there is a lack of tacit understanding between them.

The Warriors and the Cavaliers' match is the final game of the entire league. April 15 is the last day of the 2609 regular season. At this point, the regular season of this season has ended.

While sitting on the flight back to San Francisco from Cleveland, the Warriors fell into expectations and vision, playoffs, Western Conference Finals, and then the Finals, many of them have been waiting for this day for a long time

"I swear, even if I'm going to be dead this year, I'll win the championship," Iverson said gritting his teeth.

West looked melancholy, and Jackson asked, "What's wrong with you?"

The mad dog hesitated for a moment and said, "At the end of the game, someone ate my tofu and touched my butt."

"Is this not normal? You are so charming, you have been brought to bed by the golf queen." Barnes said sourly.

West said aggrievedly: "But the one who touched my butt was LeBron's mother. Damn, yes, I can see it very clearly, it is E∫'s mother."

Everyone was upset, West was even more uproaring. He suddenly reacted and shouted: "Damn it, who told you that I had put Xiao Wei in bed? You bastard, you betray me and I'm going to kill you."

Hill stood up to block West, and he said righteously: "I have to rely on winning me the championship. If you want to lose, you have to step over my body first."

Looking at the teammates who were playing and making noise, Chamberlain suddenly felt inexplicably emotional. The current team is so different from when he first came. Where has the time gone? It has been two seasons since he entered the league? This has been two years since he was no longer a rookie but an old football player?

Yes, the long NH regular season is over again. Some people want to stay and continue fighting. Some people go home for fishing during holidays. The curtain of the regular season slowly falls. It is possible that this is the end of an era and of course the beginning of an era.

Just like when the league's first shrinking season in 1999, the Pan-84 era (including players who entered the league in 8, 83, 2, and 3 years) suddenly began to decline. Jordan, Malone, Olajuwon, and Reggie Miller began to give up the league's dominance, and the Pan-3 generation took over the league's big stick with Duncan, Iverson, Garnett and Hillcart.

In this season, the golden superstars of the Pan-96 era began to wither. In addition to Kobe and Duncan, they were fighting on the front line of the league, many other veterans who were almost the same as them were selected to enter the league at the time began their career countdown.

Iverson still seems to be fierce, but everyone knows that the answer after leaving Philadelphia is no longer the peak. His ability may still be very strong, and his breakthrough may still be very powerful. However, he is no longer the Philadelphia killer who made other teams terrified. He has changed his identity, such as the second in the Nuggets, the second in the Warriors, or even the third in charge.

What is even more miserable than Iverson is the two-time MP winner Nash and four-time best defensive player winner Ben Wallace. This season, Nash, who once became the second NVP white man in Lianzhuang, missed the playoffs for the first time. He led a group of older bones such as O'Neal. He has done his best in the regular season and can even be described as heroic in many games. However, facing the young and energetic Wade, James, and Paul Deron, they will eventually subdue the old. In the end, the Suns became spectators in the Western Conference playoffs, and the young Trail Blazers and the younger Thunder were replaced by them.

In the hearts of Chamberlain's generation, the NHAJs think of the 3 Golden Generation, and the stars of this generation suddenly disappeared many iconic figures this season: the second-tier Camby transferred to the Clippers last summer, and was trapped and injured, fished for three days and two days to dry the net. Similar to Camby, O'Neal Jr. His attempt to transfer to the Raptors was not successful, and Marbury was no longer the wolf who roared alone in the shrill north wind. He was almost driven out of New York, and went to the Celtics with a veteran contract, and accompanied the old guys who were older than him, Nate Pierce and Ray Helun.

What makes fans born in the 1970s and 1980s feel even more desperate is that the stars of the Golden Generation of Pan-3 are no longer the protagonists of the battlefield. They are starting to look for a contract that can support their retirement. There are very few people who are really fighting on the front line, and there are only a handful of people. Perhaps, Nash will choose to retire to a certain team this summer and finally fight for a ring. Perhaps, after the contract expires this summer, Iverson will also consider whether to stay with the Warriors for their retirement. Perhaps, next summer, Lei Helun will make a similar choice; and Garnett Pierce Carter McGrady.

In a distinct proportion to the decline of the Pan-3 generation, the strong rise of the Pan-03 generation: LeBron James led the Cavaliers to the first of the 203 generation, and Dwight Howard led the Magic to the second place, and dominated the Eastern Conference inside, Ao Xiao and the East Coast were invincible. Wade staged Superman's return, and he was almost destroyed last season. This season, he almost became the scoring king Paul and Deron took over the handsome seal of their predecessors and became the new generation of outstanding organization masters of the league. If Chamberlain is also included in them, then this era will be even more legendary.

In this way, the season is almost over, some people are preparing to have a difficult playoff battle, and some are preparing to leave the arena for a vacation.

Among the sixteen teams entering the playoffs, the Western Conference is undoubtedly far better than the Eastern Conference:

The rankings of the West are: first is the Lakers' wins and 18 losses, second is the Warriors' 6 wins and 2 losses, third is the Spurs' 3 wins and 2 losses, fourth is the Mavericks' 54 wins and 2 losses, fifth is the Rockets' 6 wins and 2 losses, sixth is the Hornets' 6l wins and l losses, seventh is the Thunder's 6 wins and 3 losses, and eighth is the Trail Blazers' 49 wins and 33 losses.

The rankings of the Eastern Conference are: first, the Cavaliers' 6 wins and 17 losses, second, the Magic's 6 wins and 19 losses, third, the Celtics' 49 wins and 33 losses, fourth, the Hawks' 46 wins and 3 losses, fifth, the Heat's 43 wins and 3 losses, sixth, the 76ers' 4l wins and 4l losses, seventh, the Bulls' 4l wins and 4l losses, and eighth, the Pistons' 3 wins and 43 losses.

In other words, if the East and West are mixed rankings, only the top two Cavaliers and Magic in the East can play, and the remaining teams cannot enter the playoffs in the West. For comparison, from the third place, almost all Western teams will beat the Eastern team's 10 wins.

The situation of strong West and weak East is becoming more and more obvious, so before the playoffs begin, EpE Xu NT is paying attention to who the Western Conference champion is, because this basically represents the ranking of the championship.

The Lakers are the most promising now. They have the most reasonable lineup, the most powerful outside star, and the head coach with the most ability to win the championship.

The decline of the Celtics was beyond expectations, but considering the Big Three's take turns to be injured, it is not difficult to accept. Fortunately, it is very happy that the Big Three have returned before the playoffs, so although they are only third in the East, they are regarded as the team that is most likely to win the Eastern Conference championship.
