Chapter 322 The Fierce West
At the same time, the other 6 teams in the East and West are still engaged in intense divisional semifinals.

The Eastern Celtics and Bucks tied 3-3.

In two days, the Celtics will fly to the Bucks' home court, the Bradley Center, for a life-and-death tiebreaker.

The Celtics have once again exploded with amazing resilience this season.

The Celtics' death five new, first in the first round of the death group, eliminated the Pacers team of comparable strength, and in the semifinals, they played against the Bucks with the highest winning percentage in the league until the last game.

The bravery and confidence shown by the Celtics are worthy of the fans' pride.

In the Western Division, the Lakers and Warriors, Clippers and Trail Blazers are in the Western Conference semifinals.

As we all know, this year's Western Conference is the real focus of fans.

There are four championship-level teams in the West, namely the Warriors, Lakers, Clippers, and Rockets.

In fact, apart from the four most popular teams, the Trail Blazers and the Nuggets are all strong contenders for the Western Conference championship.

In the first round of the Western Conference series, the much-anticipated battle between the Lakers and the Rockets ended with the Lakers 4-3, completing a comeback in the tiebreaker and qualifying for promotion.

The Rockets' bulb combination completely fell out in the playoffs, and the two are currently in a state of ignoring each other.

If nothing else, Paul next season will definitely be kicked out by the Rockets management.

Harden is the face of the Rockets, and the management will not do anything to Harden anyway.

But Paul, the Rockets got Paul 7-for-1 back then, wasn't it just for the NBA championship?

Paul came to the Rockets and did not bring the Rockets a championship trophy. For the Rockets, this is already a loss-making business.

Beverly and Harrell, who were sent to the Clippers by the Rockets, have become the most important puzzles for Leonard on his way to the championship.

Paul is 34 years old this year, and there is not much time left for his peak period.

During the tiebreaker in Lake of Fire, James once hinted crazily with his good friend Paul: James doesn't like you, you should come to the Lakers!LeBron likes you!

So, as soon as the Lake of Fire battle ended, the fans couldn't wait to leave a message under Paul's Twitter.

"Paul, cherish your last peak, go to the Lakers and join forces with LeBron!"

"Paul! If your partner is another James, you will definitely win the championship!"

But this will only happen after the free market opens next year. The fans are now excited to let LeBron, Paul and thick eyebrows join forces, which is obviously a bit too hasty.

In the backcourt of the Lakers, there is indeed no All-Star player who can hold the field, but Paul's super maximum salary contract is indeed a problem, which plagues the Lakers' management.

The Houston Rockets signed Paul to a four-year, $2018 million contract in the summer of 4.

The salary space left by the Lakers for the backcourt is less than 3000 million. If Paul joins the Lakers, the Lakers will have another wave of blood.

After Jenny Buss came to power, the Lakers spent a lot of money, changing the Lakers management to the team in turn.

If the Lakers don't win the championship this year, Jenny Buss won't have so much money to continue signing Paul.

What restricts a team is not only the performance of the stars on the field, injuries and contracts may be the last straw that crushes the camel.

After talking about the Lakers and Rockets, continue back to the Western Conference semifinals.

The Western Conference semifinals are going on with the Warriors VS Lakers, Clippers VS Trail Blazers.

The Warriors and the Lakers are now tied 3-2. The Warriors have a 1-point advantage, slightly leading the Lakers.

When Durant is facing James, he will always be as excited as if he is a K-fan. This is a common topic.

Durant's ambition is to be number one in the league. Last season's Waterloo made Durant's popularity decline.

This season, Durant came back strongly, just to prove to people again that he is the best player in the league.

The 35-year-old James is obviously at a disadvantage in the face of Durant, who is fully fired this year.

Whether it is offense or defense, Durant's performance is more remarkable than James'.

If it weren't for the Lakers' thick eyebrows and Howard on the inside, who exhausted the Warriors' five fragile insiders, the Lakers might have been swept by the Warriors 4-0.

Davis and Howard are the most critical part of the Lakers' victory over the Warriors.

The Clippers and the Trail Blazers tied 3-1, and the Clippers have a slight advantage.

The Clippers are not only the combination of Leonard and George this season, but the veterans of the Clippers have also played a very strong power.

The Clippers' Harrell, Beverly, Harrell, Zubac, and Morris are all slightly stronger than the Blazers.

The Trail Blazers' Lillard and CJ McCollum are hard to beat with four hands. From the perspective of the lineup, the Clippers' lineup happens to be very restrained against the Trail Blazers.

Fortunately, Ariza, the pioneer of the Blazers, stood up in this round of the series.

Although Ariza shot "iron slag", he completely showed his "Kobe Terminator" defensive strength.

The Clippers' George was super ghosted by Ariza, and his shooting percentage was less than 30%.

George even made three non-stick shots like Kobe's rookie season in the last quarter of the game.

The Blazers, relying on Trevor Ariza's strict defense against George, managed to pull back a round. The game between the two sides will start tomorrow.

The competition in the Western Division was indeed much more intense than that in the Eastern Division.

In the first round of competition, no team in the West completed a sweep.

The eliminated Spurs, Nuggets, Rockets, and Thunder, each team played at least 6 games before losing.

Even the Lakers and Rockets directly staged a round of rehearsals for the finals, and the winner was not determined until the tiebreaker.

The schedule of the Western Conference semifinals is generally later than that of the Eastern Conference.

Therefore, the Raptors who eliminated the 4ers 1-76 ahead of schedule once again got a very valuable respite.

Perhaps the Raptors counterattacked the Warriors last season and won the championship trophy, which has a lot to do with their consecutive sweeps of opponents in the playoffs and sufficient time to recover their physical fitness.

The playoffs really tested the will and physical strength of the players. Many players reached the finals and played while enduring the pain in their bones.

Ending the series one game earlier means that the players can get more than 2 days of precious rest time.

This is especially precious in the brutal playoffs.

The Raptors have another good chance for themselves this season.

Looking at the current situation of other teams, the Raptors are likely to wait for work again and win the final NBA championship.

The Bucks and Celtics are about to play a tiebreaker.

After the tiebreaker, no matter which team wins the promotion qualification, it must be thrown into the series against the Raptors non-stop.

A Raptors victory over a tired Celtics or Bucks looks promising!
