Chapter 590: The Playoffs Are Coming
The 2013-2014 NBA regular season record is very different from East to West.
Eastern.
The Pacers are ranked No. 1, and this year's Pacers are very strong, and there is a tendency to challenge the Heat, and Paul George plus several other power stars, the Pacers are very strong.
The second is the Heat, the Heat's Big Three have all begun to recuperate in the regular season to prepare for the playoffs, as the defending champions, the Heat have a high probability of winning the championship, but they also encounter great problems.
Bosh and Wade are not in good shape, and the team seems to be back to when James led the team alone.
Many people have said that James will jump out of contract and return to the Cavaliers at the end of this season, but James has not responded to this.
Third in the East is the Raptors, which is quite unexpected.
But the combination of Kyle Lowry and DeRozan is surprisingly strong.
The Washington Wizards, Brooklyn Nets, Chicago Bulls, Atlanta Hawks and New York Knicks followed in the playoffs.
The Knicks have 37 wins and 45 losses this season, and their record is not good.
But eighth in the East would make the playoffs.
Westward.
The Mavericks have the best record, followed by the Spurs, Thunder, Nuggets, Clippers, Rockets, Trail Blazers, and Warriors.
The teams in the west are very strong.
The Grizzlies are 49-33 and didn't even make the playoffs. If it's in the East, it's fourth.
The gap between the strength of the eastern and western teams has further increased, and it really feels like I can't play.
This makes the playoff playoff playlist determined.
Westward:
Mavericks vs. Warriors.
Spurs vs. Trail Blazers.
Thunder vs. Rockets.
Nuggets vs. Clippers.
Eastern.
Pacers vs. Knicks.
The Heat vs. the Hawks.
Raptors vs. Bulls.
Wizards vs. Nets.
April 21st.
The first game of the Thunder vs. Rockets was played at the Thunder's home court.
The Thunder led the bench with strength, and against the Rockets' modern combination, this game was full of highlights.
The four rounds of the western region are all very interesting.
The Spurs are very strong against the Trail Blazers, and the combination of kawaii and GDP old hooligans faces the Trail Blazers inside and outside.
The Nuggets vs. the Clippers are the closest matches.
The Clippers are famous for their Big Three, and the Nuggets are Big Two, but it's hard to say if they really fight, and anyone can win this game.
The least suspenseful are the Mavericks and the Warriors.
The Warriors have been strong this season.
Bogut and David Lee on the inside, Barnes and the Splash Brothers on the outside.
Two of the three players who can shoot three-pointers from the outside this season are with the Warriors, whose Splash Brothers are known in the league.
When Klay Thompson and Qin Yang were together, they were still rookies, and the cooperation was not particularly good, but now in more than two years, Klay Thompson has matured and his strength has improved by leaps and bounds.
The Warriors' lineup may not be without the power to fight!
Of course, the probability of the Mavericks winning is still the largest, with Qin Yang, how can the outside Warriors be misplaced, even Klay Thompson and Barnes, who have the best defense, are more helpless, the two are not much at a height disadvantage, but the speed is a little slower, Qin Yang relies on rhythm, and the breakthrough efficiency is very high.
This round of the series, the media generally expected to be over in five games.
And the rest of the games in the west, it is very likely that they will grab 6, grab 7.
The games in the East, seen very little.
The Pacers vs. the Knicks were not very problematic, and after David West joined the Pacers, the Pacers' interior flaws were minimized to the extreme.
The Knicks are no rivals, even if they are a triumvirate led by social melons.
In this era, the Big Three are all rotten for strong teams.
The Heat vs. the Hawks is not a big problem, and brother basketball is so fierce.
The Raptors are the most interesting team against the Bulls, who have a poor regular season record, in large part because the team is incomplete and often injured.
In the playoffs, the Bulls have a full lineup and have the strength to fight with the Raptors.
The Wizards vs. the Nets are also more interesting. The Wizards shit luck chose Paul George, who was the 10th pick at the time, and Shun didn't expect Paul George to make leaps and bounds every year when he entered the league, and his performance shocked everyone.
The Wizards' roster is not particularly strong this year, but against the Nets, the chances of winning are still huge.
The Nets themselves are too discouraged.
On the 22nd, the Mavericks' home stadium, the American Airlines Center, was full of jubilation.
Dallas is a famous cowboy city in the West, and the ball market is very hot, and the attendance rate of the American Airlines Center is very high during the regular season, and the attendance rate is 100% in the playoffs.
Outside the stadium, the team put down large screens, distributed water and bread, and organized fans to watch the game together.
"It's a really exciting game!"
Kenny Smith said, "Bruce Qin, Stephen Curry, and Klay Thompson, the three-point matchup of the three may be the scariest performance in NBA history for the rest of the period." ”
Charles Barkley:
"That's right, but who do you think will have the upper hand?"
"Dallas!"
Kenny Smith doesn't make himself uncomfortable.
The Mavericks are now out of the game due to Novis Kiki's injury, which makes them not at their peak, but even so, the Mavericks are still amazing.
TNT News sent an ace commentator, and both men supported the Mavericks.
But before the game, Qin Yang looked very serious in the team:
"The Warriors aren't as weak as you think, and in this game, we have to defend well, especially against Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson."
The other players responded, but there was no solemnity in their eyes.
Only veterans Marion and Vince Carter pay more attention.
This game is not going to be very easy to play.
The Mavericks started with a very unrestrained start, with Seth Curry and Cory Brewer partnering on the perimeter. The problem on the defensive end is bigger, but fortunately, Gobert can help defend on the inside.
The two sides jumped the ball, Gobert dialed the ball over, Qin Yang took the ball, and slowly passed the half.
Playing the playoffs is not necessarily to play an absolute advantage in a short period of time, but to be stable, especially to reduce mistakes, too many mistakes often represent backwardness.
After halftime, it was Barnes who defended Qin Yang.
Harrison Barnes belongs to the low-profile version of Iguodala, who has been a decent player for the Warriors for the past two years, and his best point is defense.
But next to him, Cory Brewer stepped forward to make a cover, and after the cover, he cut directly to the inside line.
Qin Yang was misplaced, facing Klay Thompson, and directly lowered his body to crossover!
Klay Thompson's speed is a little slow, compared to Qin Yang, this is a disadvantage, Klay Thompson reacted very quickly, stepped forward to resist Qin Yang, and did not let Qin Yang break through easily.
Don't want to defend, just delay the attack.
This is a very good countermeasure.
On the first ball, Klay Thompson used a lot of force and resolutely did not give Qin Yang a chance.
But after Qin Yang was pushed by Klay Thompson, he quickly stepped back and shot directly with a three-point shot.
Sou!
When the three-point shot was hit, Klay Thompson looked still confused, and he didn't react at all, and Qin Yang played very resolutely on the first ball.
