759 World Championship Trend

The March game was over and April came. Since the beginning of the month, the Warriors have ended with a five-game winning streak, so the season has almost ended. The playoffs were held on April 17, West Coast time. The Warriors have played 8 games, with only two games left.

So far, the general trend of the league has been basically determined. Of course, this is just basically certain, and the final ranking is not certain, especially in the West. The competition for the last two places is extremely fierce, so that so far, ten teams may enter the playoffs.

Currently, the Grizzlies ranked ninth in the West, which is a magical team. They made the Lakers two years ago and kept saying that they would rebuild around Guy, and then decisively chose Mayo in the draft; when Mayo and Guy were quarreling for the top spot, the prodigal son turned back, and became the second All-Star in the history of the Grizzlies...

However, the Grizzlies have been successful this season. By the end of this season, their winning games will be almost twice as many as last season. There are still a bunch of young people in the team, and they will be strong contenders for playoff tickets in the next few seasons...

But that's all. Because the competition in the West is too perverted, the Grizzlies' best result is to enter the playoffs. If you want to go further, it would be a dream.

The eighth team now ranked eighth is a team that no one expected at the beginning of the season. It was once the King of Southwest and Spurs.

It turns out that when a car's engine ages, even if you replace it with a brand new clutch, it won't help.

The Spurs' problems are just time. Duncan and Manu's aging is force majeure: 6 years ago, the Spurs only needed to find a bunch of messy rags to come and modify them casually to be a big shot in the playoffs. This year, Jefferson and McDyce were asked seriously, but they would probably study with the prince in April. The health of GDP this season is still a problem, and this is the biggest problem for the Spurs so far.

The Thunder began to rise this season. Although they did not play well in the previous half of the All-Stars, they played championship-level games in the next half season. In February and March, they continued to stage eight consecutive victories and nine consecutive victories.

In fact, since Kevin Durant entered NHAR, fans knew that this was a name that would become great sooner or later. He would score like chopping melons and vegetables in the regular season, and bring the devastated team back to the top of glory...

This was only his third season, and he brought the team into the playoffs. He did better than LeBron in this regard. The Little Emperor only brought the team into the playoffs in the third season. Moreover, Durant's Western Conference competition was completely incomparable to the Eastern Conference at that time.

However, considering Durant's current average of 3 points per game, all this is a natural result.

Besides, for Durant, he felt that this day was too late. They had Chamberlain's pervert at the level. They brought the team into the Western Conference Finals in the first season. If Chamberlain hadn't had the impact too fiercely and exhausted his energy in advance, it would have been impossible for the rookie to lead the team to win the championship in the season.

Although the Thunder are temporarily in the seventh position, this position is not stable, because the Spurs are only half a game behind them, and the Thunder's last two games are the Magic and the Suns, which are two powerful teams. They are probably going to enter the playoffs with two consecutive losses.

The Jazz is currently ranked sixth. The Jazz can play this position this season, thanks to the old coach Sloan.

Although the Zen master who pretends to be X in Los Angeles has the number of rings that Sloan has never been able to catch up with in his entire life, Sloan has a unique persistence in the NHA world. After twenty years, Sloan has been guarding the snow of Utah and never left.

His two most proud disciples retired in 20 years. His wife, who had been with him, passed away. The boss who trusted him now can only sit in a wheelchair and chat with him... But this old bone that is still standing on the iceberg of Utah

His temper is still hot. Every team that comes to visit will have to take off even if they win. This persistence for a team for decades is comparable to that of the Dead Bishop in Boston. The cardinal has nine rings on his side, but Sloan cannot exchange for even the best coach's trophy.

However, Sloan is the most respected head coach in the NHA today by players and fans. Chamberlain, who has been fighting with the Jazz in the first two seasons, admires him very much.

The fifth in the West is the Trail Blazers. Roy used his Western Conference second-point guard level to drag the team into the ranks of the powerful. Let's see what their teams are. Soft ball forward Aldridge, what about that? There is no other outstanding candidate.

There was originally a super center who could apologize to the league, but the Trail Blazers couldn't wait, so they sent Oden to Phoenix at a price that was almost bargain, and then made Nash's sunset red. If the Trail Blazers were lucky, then Oden-Roy's combination would make Chamberlain scared too.

It seems to be retribution, and the fourth is the Suns, which means that the unlucky Trail Blazers will probably meet Oden in the first round of the playoffs.

Although Oden has always appeared in the public eye as a low-key and humble image, every year, this kind of revenge for his old club is the most tempting. It is said that the betting company has opened, betting on the best center in the first round of the playoffs, Chamberlain and Oden, who played 55, were optimistic that Oden would open the Blazers to explode.

In his late years of his career, Nash still led the Suns to shoot a magnificent bombardment, and rose up at the beginning of the season, which shocked all the princes of the West in a cold sweat. Oden is currently performing so well, and he has to thank Nash. If this top point guard hadn't guided him all the way, he would never have adapted to the NHAR seventh game so quickly, as he had just recovered.

The third in the West is the Mavericks who are full of grievances. In the UU year, they had the best chance to win the championship, but they were in a hurry to guard the Flash to open a game plug-in, and the Mavericks had nowhere to complain about the injustice in the end. 07 They had the best state, but the seemingly generous old Nelson was actually extremely small in his mind. He deliberately created a team that completely restrained the Mavericks and Dirk. In the first round, he sinisterly assassinated his former disciples, and fulfilled the Spurs' odd years myth...

After that, the Mavericks were so lukewarm that they were hanging in the Western Conference quarterfinals. Although Dirk honed his jump shot and face-frame offense so well, the label of "Soft Egg Leader" was like a nightmare that kept chasing him. Cuban now looks more like a jumping clown...

Even if you get good players like Kidd, Butler, Marion, what's the use? The current boss of the West is definitely not their turn. The Lakers and Warriors are the real contenders.

The Lakers, ranked second in the West, have been very bad recently. Kobe's finger injury spreads like the flu. Not long ago, the Zen master said in an alarmist manner: There are three or four main players in the team that have problems with their fingers, and some of them have to go through surgery to fully recover.

Of course, given the fact that KFC always installs X, it cannot be ruled out that this is the smoke bomb he puts on, but this still makes countless Kemi feel heartbroken. Looking back at the scene where Kobe scored 40 consecutively at the low post at the beginning of the season, he really feels like a different life.

What makes Komi the most painful is that there is a mountain in the West that the Lakers cannot read, and the Warriors

6 wins and 2 losses in 80 games. Although the Warriors still have many problems this season and have lost many indifferent games, their strength is still unquestionable, because the Warriors have never lost a key battle.

This is what makes the Lakers feel depressed. What's even more depressing is that their two teams faced each other four times this season, and the Warriors won three times and lost only once.

Compared with the bayonet, the competition in the Eastern Conference is much smaller. The Eighth Spurs currently have 6 wins, while the Eighth Bulls have only 40 wins.

This is not simply missing ten wins, but also means that the Bulls have ten more defeats than the Spurs. After a while, the absolute strength gap between the two sides emerged.

The Bulls are also quite magical. They played so vigorously at the beginning of the season. Rose, who was in the second grade, became a god of killing. They once hit the throne of the number one in the Eastern Conference, but the result was exactly the opposite of another new Thunder. They were super fierce in the first half of the season and withered in the second half.

Especially since mid-March, the Bulls have suffered a difficult ten-game losing streak, which means that they were actually third in the East, but since ten games, their ranking has been declining and has been slid to eighth in the East.

Speaking of which, this is indeed very strange.

But this cannot be blamed on the Bulls. On the one hand, they encountered difficulties in away games in a row, and then when they returned to home, they met the Cavaliers in the league; on the other hand, their core boss, Ross, was injured. Without Ross, the Bulls were even worse than the Bulls without Jordan.

Ranked seventh is the Heat, and this team can appear in this position just because of one name: Dwyane Wade.

Let's look at the game between the Heat and the Cavaliers, Lakers, Magic, and Warriors. Wade was not at all in the personal duel against any superstar, but in the Cavaliers, James has O'Neal and Xiao Mo, Lakers Kobe has Gasol and Odom, and Magic Howard, Carter is more like the core than him. In the Warriors, Chamberlain is surrounded by the left blue dragon and the right white tiger and there is an old bull on the waist. The Heat loses because Wade has no help.

The Flash is still fast, but this is the second consecutive season when the Heat have almost overdrafted the use of Wade, so the Flash, who is determined to serve the country, has rejected the invitation from the American Basketball Association and cannot participate in the World Championships.

Even fans appreciate Wade this. When Coach K invited the Flash, fans from all over the world were calling for the Flash to have a good rest in the summer.

The sixth one is the Bobcats. They are approaching the first playoffs in the team's history infinitely. Thanks to Larry Brown. This stubborn old man, no matter how many problems his personality have, his ability is not enough to make the Bobcats new army an iron army with team combat and tough defense.

The fifth is the Bucks. Many fans mentioned this team, and their memories were only on "Reed Cancer" and "Jennings' magic will no longer be there after 55 points". But how can this team be said to be very strange, it is the weirdest team in the league.

At the beginning of the season, the team's core and boss Reed had a ruptured ligament and missed the entire season. As a result, the Bucks suddenly became a hero.

There is no longer a big star in the Bucks, which gives everyone a chance. No one in the team scores more than 17 points. In contrast, the team has six players who average double-digit points per game.

The fourth place in the East is the Hawks. When talking about the Eastern Conference championship this season, people always mention the top three in the Eastern Conference, but there are only the top three.

But the Hawks already have the capital to re-dividend the Eastern Conference. These young men are still getting better. Eighty percent of the teams in the league are helpless against the Hawks' three 26-26-strong forwards in the frontcourt, and when the game cannot solve the problem at the moment, Crawford on the bench will jump out to solve the problem in time.

The top three in the Eastern Conference were not expected, Celtics, Magic and Knights.

The Celtics lack nothing, but their health is lacking. After all, they are the first team in the league. The five starting players averaged over 3 years old.

Injuries are the team's biggest enemy. As the season deepens, the veterans' state and physical fitness are increasingly tormenting the nerves of head coach Rivers. Rashid is still flying kites on the outside without restraint. Perkins is still not good at the offensive end, and Garnett's average score per game is dropping to the lowest point of his career...

No one naively thinks that this Celtic team can still win the championship.

The focus of the East is now between the Magic and the Cavaliers. The teams that can enter the finals must be one of them. What we need to look at now is the confrontation between the old and the new.

The Magic are the new center and the old guard, and the Cavaliers are the new guard and the old center. Let's see which side has stronger resilience, who is more tough and fierce, and then who is the Eastern Conference champion.
