The invincible kryptonite of basketball

The Mavericks are fourth with 59 wins and 23 losses.

The loss of Jokic did not make their combat power drop too much. On the contrary, after the lineup was run-in, their immediate combat power was stronger.

It's going to be tough to beat them in the playoffs, and they're in that spot for a reason.

Although Nowitzki doesn't have much playing time, he has a good chance to hit the championship again.

The Clippers are fifth with a 58-24 record.

To say that the most amazing team of the season is the Clippers.

From the bad team last season to the championship team this season, and won 58 wins, the performance of this team is really beyond everyone's expectations.

巴特勒场均23.6分5.7板4.6助攻2.3抢断，47%的投篮命中率，37.4%的三分球命中率。

For the first time, he became the real boss of the team. Rivers gave enough rights to the ball, and he also rewarded Rivers with his outstanding performance.

It is worth mentioning that the four hard-working brothers of the Pelicans last season gathered together and achieved a record of 80 wins that has never been seen before or since.

Now that they are scattered, there are still stars all over the sky, and they all played very well.

Looking back now at last summer's picks, they were all the best for them.

In addition to Butler, as a rookie, Doncic averaged 20.1 points, 6.8 rebounds, 6 assists and 1.1 steals per game, shooting 42% from the field and 32.7% from three-pointers.

Although his shooting percentage is worse, his true shooting percentage is not low.

And what is more noteworthy is that he became the fifth rookie to complete the feat of 20+5+5 in his rookie season after Oscar Robertson, Michael Jordan, LeBron James and Tyreke Evans!

Butler now understands what Tang Tian reminded him at the beginning, that Doncic's talent is destined to be immeasurable in the future.

The Warriors are in sixth place with a 54-28 record.

The loss of Durant made this team experience an unprecedented test, and Green's hardening and softening made Cole encounter the biggest adjustment in his coaching career.

But Curry has returned to the peak level of data.

场均30分5.5板7.1助攻，47%投篮命中率，43%三分球命中率。

After the tide receded, Curry was still the same Stephen.

And Thompson also played his peak season.

场均23.1分4.5板2.1助攻，48%投篮命中率，44%三分球命中率。

The outstanding performance of the Splash Brothers helped the Warriors finally reach the playoffs and get a good position.

The Rockets are seventh with a record of 53 wins and 29 losses.

Ariza left, Paul's performance declined rapidly, and Harden played his peak season.

Although he didn't perform with 82 points or even 100 points in a single game like Tang Tian, ​​he repeatedly scored 50+ and 60+ points.

场均33.5分仅次于唐天，除此之外还有6.6板7.9助攻2.0抢断，44.4%投篮命中率，36.8%三分球命中率。

And with 11 free throws per game, his true shooting percentage is pretty good.

This is true father and mother.

With this crazy data, even if the Rockets' record is relatively low, he will be included in the MVP discussion.

The Trail Blazers are eighth in the East with a record of 48 wins and 34 losses.

The performance of the Double Guns has dropped compared to last year, but they were lucky enough to make it to the playoffs.

If there is luck, there will be unlucky ones. The Thunder with 47 victories, the Jazz with 46 victories, and the Suns with 44 victories all missed the playoffs due to fierce competition.

The cruelty of the West can be seen from this.

The first thousand and 250 chapters are not enemies and do not get together (repair)

Like the East, ESPN also made a wave of predictions for the first round of the West.

Lakers VS Trail Blazers.

The suspense of this group is second only to the Bucks and Bulls in the East.

The Trail Blazers are not as good this year as they were last year, and their strikers are completely unable to stop James and Durant.

If the double-gun status is as high as last year, they may steal a victory from the Lakers, otherwise being swept is their most likely ending.

Spurs VS Rockets.

Harden will enjoy the death front lines of Leonard and George in the playoffs.

He has always performed worse than the regular season in the playoffs, and it will be very difficult to lead the Rockets to the second round.

They probably can only hope that Paul's playoff experience will be useful.

Although they have to face Popovich.

Pelicans VS Warriors.

It's not that enemies don't get together.

This sentence is the sentence that best describes this pairing.

This is the fifth time the Pelicans and Warriors have met in the playoffs since Tang Tian joined the Pelicans.

In more intuitive terms, except for Tang Tian's first season with the Pelicans, the Pelicans were eliminated by the Grizzlies.

For the remaining five seasons, they all suffered.

In the previous 4 encounters, the Pelicans lost the first time, but won the next 3 times.

The Warriors have also become the biggest stepping stone of the Pelicans dynasty.

Now, the Pelicans are targeting a four-peat, and the Warriors meet them again in the first round.

Whether it's the lineup on paper or the record of the season's confrontation (the Pelicans are 3 wins and 0 losses), the Pelicans have the upper hand.

The Pelicans are expected to win the series as well.

Mavericks VS Clippers.

This is a contest between the powerful and the upstarts.

This is also the most suspenseful matchup in the West.

The Mavericks' Embiid will make the Clippers' interior suffer, but in turn Butler and Doncic's forwards will have the upper hand in the series.

In fact, the difference between the regular season records of the two teams is only one game, which is very telling.

From the fans' point of view, they will hope that the Clippers will win, so that they can see the most classic Los Angeles Derby in the playoffs.

But from a professional point of view, the experience of the Mavericks and the balance of the lineup will make them have the last laugh.

The ranking analysis of the East and West is all released, and the fans are also full of expectations for the playoffs.

And this year's list of various statistics also gave them a sense of excitement that they hadn't seen for a long time.

In the past ten years, the 2005~2006 season was the most talked about by fans.

That season not only had Kobe's 81 points, but also the performances of Iverson, James, Arenas, Wade and other scorers.

This can be seen from the scoring average per game at the end of the year.

The first Kobe averaged 35.4 points, the second Iverson averaged 33 points, then James 31.4 points, Arenas 29.3 points, Wade 27.2 points, Pierce 26.8 points, Nowitzki 26.6 points, Anthony 26.5 points points, Michael Reed 25.4 points, Ray Allen 25.1 points.

That was hailed by fans as an era of super scorers.

However, this season, it is even worse!

Tang Tian's 82 points, 102 points beat Kobe's original 81 points.

And on the scoreboard.

第一的唐天场均37分，第二的哈登场均33.5分，第三的杜兰特30.1分、之后库里30分、字母哥27.7分、伦纳德27.6分，沃克26.8分、詹姆斯26.7分，利拉德26.3分、恩比德26.2分。

Whether individually or as a whole, this season must overwhelm that glorious era.

Considering the comparable penalty scale, this is the most glorious era in the development of the NBA so far.

And it is worth mentioning that all of the top ten super scorers in the scoring list will play in the playoffs!

Thinking about such a picture is enough to make people excited.

The fans are looking forward to it, and the teams are also preparing nervously.

Last year, because the Pelicans were thriving, there was basically no suspense about the championship, but this year there are many suspense.

This is equivalent to a chaotic world, where heroes compete for hegemony, and everyone has a chance to win the final throne.

For the sake of the throne, they will also adjust their state to the best, and then go to meet this chaotic battle.

Same goes for the Pelicans.

Four consecutive championships is their biggest goal, but the food is eaten one bite at a time, and the game has to be played round after round.

Because the regular season record is not as dominant as last year, they will encounter the Warriors in the first round, which is also their first test.

Although the Warriors are no longer as brave as they used to be, the Pelicans are not the 80-win team of last season's brother basketball.

Everyone has become weaker, and no one can underestimate anyone.

Stevens has never been more serious about preparing for the game.

The Warriors are the opponents they must win, and their real challenge will come from the Spurs in the second round.

So to fight the Warriors, they not only have to win, but also have the morale to win.

In this way, they will be more confident in the second round.

But the good news is that they did not play on the first day of the playoffs, and they can watch the Spurs and Rockets first.

As soon as the door of the playoffs opened, Stevens also organized the team to watch the live broadcast of the game.

The Spurs have home-court advantage, and the opener will be played in San Antonio.

The team owner ccx came to watch the match, his face was full of joy, obviously very optimistic about the team's prospects.

His optimism was echoed after the game started.

George was the main defense, Leonard was the assistant, and Harden enjoyed Tang Tian's treatment from the very beginning of the game.

He is very strong, but compared to Tang Tian, ​​he is almost meaningless.

Before Tang Tian developed Chaoyuan, he was restricted enough, and he could only be more restricted.

Of course, this is not the most deadly.

For the Rockets, the most deadly thing is their striker, which was directly blown away by the Spurs.

After Ariza left the team, their current striker is a combination of Ennis and Tucker, which is completely invisible in front of Leonard and George.

Not to mention that Capela was blown away by Aldridge.

The tone of the game was set right from the start.

D'Antoni saw the momentum was off and tried to get Gordon, but that only made them worse.

He looked pretty weak against Popovich.

In the end, the Spurs suppressed the Rockets from the beginning to the end.

The score of 107 to 77 has already explained everything.

Before the start of the game, some experts expected the Rockets to counterattack, but after the first game, the sound disappeared completely.

"The Spurs are so strong."

In fact, after watching the live broadcast, many Pelicans players unconsciously had this idea.

That's what Stevens was aiming for, too.

Give the team members a vaccination in advance, so that when the time comes, they have already experienced all the necessary psychology, and naturally they will have nothing to fear.

At the end of the first day of the game, the Spurs slaughtered the Rockets, the Mavericks beat the Clippers, the Bucks beat the Bulls, and the Celtics beat the Pacers.

On the second day, the Pelicans will also usher in a contest with their old rival, the old enemy Warriors.
