Chapter 626: A New Situation in the East and West

After the All-Star break, it's a crucial time for teams to compete for a playoff spot.

Especially after the All-Star break, the teams that pressed the bottom of the box before the trade deadline hope to take the opportunity to turn over and sing.

Of course, this is very unlikely.

However, teams like the teams that remained in front of the second or even third groups before the All-Star Game will now definitely have to fight for eight spots each in the East and West.

Oh wait, there should only be seven spots in the West, and the Spurs can definitely lock up one spot now, unless they lose all of their next 30 games.

Obviously, that's even more impossible.

The eastern side is quite lively now, although the overall record of the eastern part is not as good as that of the west, but after all, the threshold for the playoffs is low, and you really have the possibility to play the playoffs without a 50% win rate in the east.

And what about the West? With a 50% win rate, you can only be ninth, tenth, eleventh, and the most terrifying time, the West has not won 50 teams, and they are embarrassed to say that they are playoff teams.

The trend of the East this year is the triwizard competition, the current Eastern record list, the Heat first, the Knicks second, the Pacers third, and the first, second and third often change positions, the Knicks have been the first for a while this year, and even the upstart Pacers have been the first in the East for a week.

After the top three, the fourth is a team in the East with the same unit of measurement, the one who has beaten it is the strong team, and the one that can't beat the weak team is the Eagles.

The Hawks have participated in the playoffs for many years in a row, and at the same time have been in the round for many years, but in the regular season, it can basically get the fourth or fifth position, which is really the unit of measurement in the East.

The Hawks are followed by the Nets, the new owner of the Russian tycoon's ruble army is not as powerful as the football compatriots' ruble army (Chelsea), the Nets look luxurious on the books of the Big Five, the actual effect is really average, especially three of the five people are still small injuries, Garnett's data has dropped to an average of 13.2 points and 6.7 boards per game, which is a shame for him.

Pierce and other people's data also plummeted, and the fake star, Deron Williams, who used to be able to "eat and sleep and play Paul" in the West, lost himself even more, and now when it comes to excellent point guards, there is almost nothing to do with Delon.

The Nets are fifth, and behind him is the team in the lower half, and on the Eastern side, the gap from sixth to twelfth is not big, and they can change positions at any time.

The current sixth is the Bulls, although Rose has not been injured as much as in the original history, but there are still some minor injuries and illnesses, so Rose's state this year is not very good, and he is just a substitute in the just-concluded All-Star Game.

And the Bulls' bad luck this year is that Noah is injured, Rose is not injured then hurts Noah, Boozer alone really can't support the Bulls' inside line, which is also fortunate that there is no strong inside line in the East at present, if the Bulls change to the West, it will be even worse, Howard, Gasol, Duncan...... A bunch of good talent can clean up the inside of the Bulls.

The seventh after the Bulls is the beginning of the rise of the Northern Dragons, the Raptors, this season with the better Lowry, DeRozan, McGee three brothers, with the Raptors began to rise, although it is currently only seventh, but surpassing the Bulls should be just around the corner, if you are lucky, the Raptors this season to the fifth is not a problem.

The eighth place in the East is the Wizards, it's really been a long time since the Wizards, after the general Arenas, the Wizards are finally led by the backcourt combination composed of the two of Walbier, and they are ready to return to the playoffs, after all, it is the capital, if you can't even squeeze into the playoffs, it will be a bit embarrassing.

In addition, the ninth Bobcats and the tenth Pistons are also eyeing each other, and once the team in front of them is not strong, they will go up at any time to grab a spot!

The situation in the west has also changed a little.

The Spurs are the first to be the best, and no one can shake it, so when others are in a hurry, the Spurs can relax a little, and even consider taking turns to rest or something.

The second place in the West is still the Thunder, this double less is really not blown out, if it weren't for the Spurs' strength now rising, maybe the first place in the West is really the Thunder.

Third in the West is a bit unexpected, it is actually the Portland Youth Army Trailblazers!

Lillard is really incredible, teaming up with Aldridge (14 years Ade is still in the Trail Blazers) to bring the team that was very mediocre last season to the third place in the West! And Qin Yan remembered that in history, Lillard was going to beat the Rockets in 0.9 years this season, and I don't know if he can perform this miracle again.

The fourth is the "Morden" Rocket, this season the Rockets have Howard and Harden outside, plus a group of benches are very powerful, so this season's Rockets' record is really the same as doing the Rockets, "rubbing" straight up, if it weren't for the All-Star Game, they would have been third in the West now.

The fifth is the Clippers, Rivers has entered the Clippers strongly this year, and everyone thinks that the arrival of the championship coach will bring more benefits to the Clippers, but the problem is that Rivers' level is actually like that, I didn't see what the Clippers did later for his son, and the Green Army's brother won the championship not so much as Rivers with the Green Army, but the "Big Three" with Rivers.

No, the Clippers drove high and went low, and at the beginning of the season it was a big mess, once holding the Spurs to become the first in the West, and now? can only tragically fall to the fifth in the West, I really feel sorry for Paul, this year his dream of the West Finals may be in vain again.

But Rivers is still very domineering, he said that the clipper ship is just falling down temporarily, and it will definitely rush back!

The sixth is the Warriors, oh my God, this team has unknowingly reached the sixth, and it is indeed the team that is ready to explode next season, and the Warriors even hope to surpass the Clippers to the fifth place.

Seventh is the Grizzlies, a tough bone that no one wants to meet in the playoffs, they are now in seventh place, and the Thunder are also quite a headache.

The eighth is the Lakers, to be reasonable, the Lakers, whose main force is basically 35+, can be like this, Nash is almost forty, although Kobe can still cut 30+, but the attendance rate is not high, the All-Star Game is because he was injured, so Anthony Davis was asked to replace him.

The ninth is the Nuggets, the youth army that ranked third last year is a bit scrapped this year, and there may really be no star in charge, and now the Nuggets are ranked ninth, and there is still hope to squeeze the Lakers down in theory.

In this era, because of Qin Yan's arrival, it has been a little different, although the general pattern of the east and west has not changed, but some small aspects are now very different.

Of course, all this has little to do with Qin Yan, after all, the Spurs are now sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai and watching others fight each other, what Qin Yan has to do is to try to win some individual awards without affecting the team.

Anyway, the situation has changed, the scoring champion is guaranteed, if you can win the MVP, why not?

In the current MVP list, James is first, Qin Yan is second, Durant is third, Anthony is fourth, and the top two teams in the East and West have rounded up the top four. If nothing else, this year's MVP is one of the four of them!

And what Qin Yan has to do is to overwhelm James with his next performance!

If he can do it, maybe Qin Yan can try to collect all three MVPs in one season......
