NBA: I am the card dealer

Chapter 465 Season Inventory!

The situation in the east is basically as expected.

The Big Three of the Knicks are still at the hegemon level in the Eastern Conference. Although the start was not smooth, as James and Oladipo worked together, their combat effectiveness was once again released, and they achieved 56 wins and 26 losses this season. record, ranking first in the Eastern Conference.

Second place, Miami Heat, 53 wins and 29 losses. This is their second season of running in. Logically speaking, they should become stronger.

But after watching their games, I can clearly see how serious their shortcomings are.

Wade's condition has declined sharply, not only due to efficiency issues, but mainly due to his court dominance and absolute hard-hitting ability. They are no longer what they used to be. As the team's first offensive option, averaging 18 points per game is obviously unqualified.

Anthony is also facing the problem of declining status, and it is more serious than Wade, because Anthony is not good at defense, and once his scoring efficiency drops, it will have a backlash.

Among the Big Three, only Gasol is a positive member. The offensive end serves as the axis and can effectively provide support.

The defensive end is the core of the Heat, and their frame protection and assisting defense capabilities are still among the top in the league.

It can be said that Gasol is definitely the most influential Heat player on both offense and defense.

Without Gasol, the Heat would never have achieved such good results this season.

of course.

In addition to Gasol, the Heat's lineup depth and lineup structure are another major reason why they can achieve such an outstanding record.

Porgy Jins, Will Barton, Hardaway Jr., Winslow, Calderon, Richardson, Sabonis Jr. and many other players have pushed the Heat to the second place in the Eastern Conference.

Third place, the Boston Celtics, has a record of 51 wins and 31 losses.

The outbreak of Thomas Jr., coupled with the addition of Horford, has substantially strengthened their offensive firepower, and the young coach is relatively good at defensive tactics. Their games are often very tough. Now that the offensive firepower has increased, their results will be natural. It looks good too.

Fourth place, the Toronto Raptors, also has a record of 51 wins and 31 losses.

However, due to falling far behind 1:3 in the head-to-head confrontation with the Celtics, they could only settle in fourth place.

Lowry and DeRozan are still powerful, and the addition of Ibaka has made them even more powerful, but... they still have the same problem, the core players are not strong enough.

Or to be more precise, the hard-hitting ability of the core players always feels like something is missing, which has prevented them from entering the championship discussion.

Even if they make it past the first round of the playoffs, they have no chance of winning against the Knicks.

of course.

It's not like you can pass the first round.

Because their opponent is the Washington Wizards who have exploded this season, they are ranked fifth in the Eastern Conference with 48 wins and 34 losses.

Both Wall and Bill have played at an All-Star level, especially Wall, whose style of play has matured a lot and his character has also matured a lot.

Their double-gun combination cannot be underestimated. Compared with Lowry and DeRozan, they even have an advantage.

At least in terms of hard solving ability, Wall is better than both of them.

The most important thing is that the two sides met once in the playoffs the year before last, and the Raptors were defeated by the Wizards.

When they meet again this time, the Raptors don't know if they can avenge their shame?

Sixth place, Cleveland Cavaliers, record is 45 wins and 37 losses.

With James leaving, they eventually exposed many problems. Neither Irving nor Love seem to have the temperament and style that can be regarded as the core of the team.

For example, Irving's movement control is really good, and his singles ability is also the best in the league, but if he is regarded as the core of the team, it is difficult to establish active offensive tactics.

Once you get the ball, it's basically a one-on-one game. How do you drive your teammates or establish an offensive system?

There is no way to create it!

In the same way, Love's playing style is not that of a big-core player, or a player who shares selflessly. He also does not have high internal combat power, and it is also impossible to build an offensive system around him.

but.

After all, the two of them are all-stars, and sometimes they can solve many unsolvable problems with their own personal abilities.

Seventh place, Milwaukee Bucks, record is 42 wins and 40 losses.

At the last moment, they completed the corner overtaking and reached the seventh position.

Antetokounmpo Antetokounmpo has also officially entered everyone's field of vision. His violent playing style and incredible impact require strong physical talent to achieve this effect.

It can be said that Antetokounmpo's future is definitely unlimited. The Bucks will also be very competitive in the next few years because their potential new stars are all very talented.

Eighth place, Atlanta Hawks, record is 42 wins.

Budenholzer does have something. After Teague, Carroll, Horford and others left one after another, they can still reach the playoffs. This has to admire Budenholzer's training ability.

It shows that Popovich's approach does have a lower limit.

However, facing the Knicks led by James, it is estimated that it will be difficult for the Eagles to take off.

News related to the Eagles' reconstruction has gradually become public.

After all, no one can stand the fact that the team is always being swept. In this season's playoffs, the public's prediction is that the Eagles will be swept.

Ninth place, Chicago Bulls, 40 wins and 42 losses.

Butler failed to save the Bulls in the end, Rose did not become a hero, and the miracle was not born.

In the historical trajectory, the Bulls successfully entered the playoffs as eighth, but that was because Wade went to the Bulls.

Now that Wade is not here and Rose is not leaving, they are directly insulated from the playoffs.

Tenth place, Detroit Pistons, 36 wins and 46 losses.

Gigi King Jackson and Drummond Drummond proved not to be the core qualifications, and the dark horse last season has completely disappeared.

What disappeared even more completely was the Charlotte Hornets, who ranked 35th in the Eastern Conference with 47 wins and losses.

Batum and Walker proved unable to support this team. Mr. Joe once again became the target of public criticism. He actually gave a character like Batum a maximum salary contract. Isn't it blind?

No. 29, Orlando Magic, 53 wins and losses.

Reconstruction is always on the road, and reconstruction is always on the road. This is the portrayal of the Magic team.

Thirteenth place, Philadelphia Digital Man, 28 wins and 54 losses.

The bad guy finally waited for Embiid. Although he took two years off, his performance on the court was still amazing. The two years of waiting were not in vain.

Fourteenth, Indiana Pacers, 25 wins and 57 losses.

George's departure completely caused the Pacers' offensive and defensive system to collapse.

of course.

Some people also think that this is a blatant act of corruption.

The benchmark for bad teams in the league, the authentic last place, the Brooklyn Nets, with a record of 18 wins and 64 losses, is simply suffocating.

The most serious problem is that they don't have the draft picks yet, and they don't know what to make of bad pictures.

Maybe...it's really bad!
