Chapter 493: A slightly messy situation

Everything in the shrinking season seemed so fast.

It seems that the All-Stars have just passed, but the fans are surprised to find that it seems that the playoffs are almost here!

This year, due to the short and tight schedule, the playoff situation has actually undergone some incredible small changes compared with previous years.

Especially some teams, unexpectedly appear in a position that has never appeared before!

Look at the Great West first.

This year, with Yao Ming's departure, the Rockets' vitality was severely injured. Whiteside is a pie-eating insider. He can't attack independently like Yao Ming. If you can count on him to defensively and block shots, the offense can only be watched.

Therefore, although Billups is not weak in assists, the Rockets do not have a stable scorer. They are currently struggling at the eighth or ninth position in the West.

Just as difficult as the Rockets are the defending champion Mavericks last year. After the Mavericks won the championship last year, their championship lineup disintegrated in the summer. The rest of the team lost the motivation to win the championship. The old driver was one year old and the schedule became denser. The Mavericks can't hold it at all!

Now they and the Rockets are hard brothers, the two teams alternately occupy the eighth and sixth positions, and they are struggling anyway.

Seventh in the West is the Nuggets! This season, the Nuggets, without star players, relied on a group of civilians and rookies to reach seventh place in the Great West!

The sixth in the West is the Suns. If nothing else, this should be the last year Nash played for the Suns, so this year's Sun is the last time Nash can shine.

The fifth in the West is the Grizzlies. At present, the Grizzlies have the qualities of a strong team killer. They have never beaten the Grizzlies, so I am ashamed to say that they are a strong team.

The fourth in the West is the Clippers. In the first year Paul came to the Clippers, he turned this wrecked ship into an aircraft carrier. It suddenly became the top four in the West, not losing to his fellow Lakers.

Because the Lakers are just ahead of them, third in the Western Conference, the Lakers, who have a luxurious combination of the current league's first shooting guard + second center + top five forwards, are really a failure to rank third.

Kobe and Howard were delayed in calling, Gasol was a good man again, the Lakers searched for the chemistry for almost a season, but they haven't found it yet! Many people are now worried about their performance in the playoffs.

The second place in the Western Conference is currently the Spurs. In fact, the Spurs can be the first. However, in order to give the team's main players a chance to rest, Popovich has recently forced a few rounds to rest. This has caused the team's record to drop a little. Otherwise, the Thunder will not take the opportunity to overtake and become No. 1 in the Western Conference.

However, if the Thunder stay first, they will have an advantage this year. After all, they can avoid the Spurs and the Lakers before the Western Conference Finals, which can be considered easy.

Moreover, to maintain the number one, Durant has the opportunity to grab the first MVP trophy of his career.

After losing that day, although Durant was frustrated, he did not admit defeat. He took the initiative to make an appointment with Han Miao. Of course, it was the finals.

"We will meet in the finals right! Of course, you have to pass the Miami level first!"

That's what Durant said, and his words were full of a sense of engagement.

Of course, Durant mainly mentioned the Miami Heat, but also deliberately. He wanted to disgust Han Miao and let you beat us so much! To make you proud, you will definitely have to face the Big Three Heat in the East. When you win them, you will be exhausted!

Durant is really not talking nonsense, because the current situation in the east is indeed a bit messy compared to the west.

The first group in the Eastern Conference, the 76ers, the Heat and the Bulls, and the three teams defend the top three. The Heat are the common goal of Han Miao and Rose, who have reached the league. According to the current ranking, the Bulls and the Heat will meet in the semifinals first. If the Heat break through, they will most likely meet the 76ers in the Eastern Conference.

This situation is not good for the Heat. The Bulls and 76ers are currently the two strongest teams in the East except for the Heat. No matter who they are, it is difficult for the Heat to break through.

The only way is to surpass the 76ers and get the first place in the East at the last minute, so that the 76ers and the Bulls can fight in advance.

Unfortunately, the gap between them and the 76ers is not small, there are 2.5 games, and looking at the 76ers' recent state, it is difficult to get back.

What's more, there is only one game between the Bulls and the Heat. If the Heat are not careful, they will lose to the Bulls and become the third in the Eastern Conference. That is the worst. There is no way to get rid of the fate of being trapped. There is no trouble at home.

The Eastern Second Group is also doing well this year. Although it is not far behind the Third Group, it seems that it should be able to hold its position. The three teams in the second group are the Knicks, Pacers and Celtics.

This year the Celtics are really dying. The Big Three are degraded very seriously. Due to injuries and age, Garnett can only average 15+8 per game. There is no sense of the omnipotent wolf king at all. And there seems to be a serious conflict between Ray Allen and the team. There are now rumors that Ray Allen will leave the Celtics after the end of the season.

The Pacers are very good this year, and they have slapped many experts in the face. In the case of Granger's injury, Paul George turned into an all-around fighter, led Hibbert, Stephenson and others, abruptly leading the team to the fifth position in the Eastern Conference, which made many people feel incredible. , Is this Paul George? The tenth show last year was the rhythm of the late bloomers!

Of course, whenever I talk about this pick, I have to feel sorry for Hayward, because he is unbiased and the number 9 closest to George... Now watching George prepare to evolve into a star this season, he is still diligent and diligent. Hayward, who was the third offensive choice of the team, really felt better than others!

The Knicks are pretty good this year. At present, the fourth in the Eastern Conference, because Stoudemire was injured, their lineup was not very uniform at the beginning of the season~lightnovelpub.net~ Fortunately they introduced the old monster Kidd and boxing champion Chandler last year. Le, as an important member of the Mavericks to win the championship, the arrival of these two men has given Anthony a lot of help. The Knicks can get fourth in the Eastern Conference this year. Anthony would like to thank them both.

The last two positions in the East have slightly changed. The seventh belongs to the Eagles. The Eagles are very interesting and can make the playoffs every year, but they are almost always a round of games every year. I don't know what they are thinking.

The current ownership of the eighth in the East is surprising, yes, it is actually a Bobcat? ! Joe helps his team!

This is incredible, because the eighth, ninth, and thirteenth teams in the East have exactly the same record, but according to the relationship between each other, the Bobcats actually pressed the Pistons and the Wizards to become eighth? !

Could it be said that the Bobcats are going to the playoffs this year?

Well, that's not impossible. After all, the Bobcats have also made the playoffs, although not many times.

However, if you enter the first round of the playoffs and play the 76ers... Then, it would be better not to enter and be sent to the door to be abused, why bother?
