Chapter 948 [Destruction of the plan, awkward position]

The 2-8th place in the West are the Spurs, Thunder, Warriors, Lakers, Mavericks, Nuggets and Grizzlies.

After Brazilian player Split joined the Spurs, he strengthened the team's inside defense with veteran Antonio McDyce, reducing Duncan's pressure. The two players had mediocre data but had a great effect. They could also cut the basket and support the offensive end.

Richard Jefferson's data continued to decline this season, averaging only 11 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game, but he was transformed by **Vict to suit the team system, with a shooting percentage of 47.4%, a three-point shooting percentage of 44%, and an average of 1.7 three-point shooting.

George Hill and new Gary Neal can also make three-pointers, making the Spurs' formation even wider.

The biggest problem with the Spurs is that they lack a super scorer, with poor offensive ability and the most scoring Ginobili averaging only 17.7 points per game. Duncan only played 28.4 minutes, and the data dropped to 13.4 points, 8.9 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.9 blocks.

The Grizzlies caught the last bus of the playoffs, with only 43 wins. The Nuggets also had only 44 wins. Not all playoff teams in the West this year are strong, and the lineups of these two teams have weakened to varying degrees.

The Grizzlies were poached Mike Miller and did not sign Tony Allen. After giving up Ray Allen, the Celtics asked Tony to stay in the team.

The Grizzlies' wing defense became very poor, and they made their way into the playoffs in the second half. In the early stage, Gasol and Randolph were not selected as All-Stars due to their poor record.

Ever since the logo man Jerry West stepped down as general manager of the Grizzlies and replaced by Chris Wallace, the team has gradually lost the offensive and defensive balance. However, the boss Hayles regarded this person as a treasure and Xia Tian renewed his long-term contract. Judging from Chris's previous work experience with the Celtics, he was simply mentally retarded.

In the first round of the Western Conference playoffs, Kobe returned to Staples Center to face off his old club. Bynum, Brand, Bogut, Bosh and others were also selected for the All-Star Game. The Warriors and the Lakers all had trident configurations, and young players competed, and Curry was also very interesting in the face of Ellis.

However, experts unanimously believe that Ellis has an advantage, he has strong breakthrough ability and better physical fitness. Curry, a primary school student who can dunk even if he is a single fast break, often suffers when defending such speed players.

9-15 are the Rockets, Hornets, Clippers, Jazz, Kings, and Timberwolves.

The Kings only won 28 wins, ranking second to last in the West. The two stars were useless in offense, and the defense on the inside and outside lines was a mess.

The Timberwolves only achieved 17 wins, a worse record than last season.

The Timberwolves' forward line seems good, but Josh Howard was completely ruined after one serious injury. After Beasley joined, he was the one who came to grab the right to make data, destroying the team's only pick-and-roll cooperation. Guy's breakthrough and pass-through ability are average, and his offense is overly dependent on jump shots.

The inside core Al Jefferson's data declined after being injured, with strong offense and weak defense. The new Pekovic is also a heavy insider, and his speed is slower than Jefferson.

The most unlucky one is point guard Steve Blake, who only played 53 games due to injury. The new Timberwolves manager Xia Tianxin took office and made three moves. He took the initiative to give last season's substitute point guard Ty Lawson to the Nuggets. There is no defender in the team who can organize the offense.

The Eastern Conference Cavaliers ranked first in the Eastern Conference with a record of 63 wins and 19 losses, winning only two games less than the Suns. This time the gap between the two sides is not big.

This result made President David Stern feel a headache. James walked casually, and his home whistle plus star whistle. In the end, his record was still not as good as the Suns, whose home whistle weakened.

The Suns' attack power this season has been significantly lower than last season, with only 112.8 points per game. However, after Sir S left, Gasol Jr.'s defense was better than last season.

Gotat, Ibaka, Haslem, Hill and others are also hard-working in defense. As long as Guo Xu doesn't let go, the Suns will not have obvious weaknesses on the defensive end. If you want to defeat the Suns, there is only one way to go, that is, you can shoot from the outside. Guo Xu is not afraid of people breaking through and is poorly interfering with the shooting.

The Suns averaged more than 10 points per game and are still among the top three teams in the league in offensive power. As long as they cooperate well, Xiao Si's shooting rights will be allocated to others to attack, which can ensure scoring efficiency.

What disappointed Stern the most was that the Cavaliers' ratings and popularity were far from that of the Suns. Their games were ugly, and James's style of play was also ugly.

The Cavaliers have many stars, but they averaged only 103.4 points per game, and lost fewer points than the Suns, with only 95.6 points.

The Cavaliers have always been on the balanced offense and defense route, and they average about 100 points per game every season, mainly pushing positions. The Cavaliers mainly play a set of tactics on the offensive end, which is the organizational forward tactics brought by James, and the opponents have traces to follow.

The Suns have no complaints about the league's slap standards, and they silently ruin their plan to give other teams home advantage in the playoffs and will not offend the president.

The 2-8th place in the East is the Knicks, Heat, Bulls, Magic, Nets, 76ers, and Celtics.

After Iverson left, the 76ers entered the playoffs without major changes in the lineup, and all the young players returned to the NBA from CBA.

This is bad news for the Suns. Although the 76ers only have 38 wins, they are ranked seventh in the Eastern Conference. The first-round draft pick traded by the Suns has depreciated significantly, outside the lottery.

Moreover, the Suns are in awkward position. It is possible that Kawai Leonard will be selected in 15th place in the East. Who should I choose in 16th place? Guo Xu can't think of it for the time being.

It’s just that the Celtics are not good at their best. The 37-winning regression is too great. After missing two stars, they only won the eighth place.

What is even less fortunate than the Celtics is the Hawks. O'Neal Jr. killed the Hawks. His data dropped sharply, and he was reimbursed after playing 32 games. He could no longer find the rhythm of the game.

Nash also began to weaken, and at the age of 37, his defense was getting worse and worse. Josh Smith was unable to support the wall. He practiced shooting for many years, but he still had no idea when shooting at the middle and long distances, and only had efficiency at the basket.

When the Hawks suffered from injuries, their record in the second half fell all the way out of the playoffs.

9-15 are the Eagles, Bucks, Bobcats, Pacers, Pistons, Raptors, and Wizards.

The Raptors' decline speed was even more amazing. After Bosh left, the team had no leader.

The Wizards are as bad as ever. They can't win the ball and can only make a comfortable shot. The defense of the inside and outside lines is very rubbish.

Guo Xu won two regular season statistics kings, and the rebounding king was obtained by the Wizards Kevin Love, averaging 15.2 rebounds per game.

Most of the time in the Wizards, Love plays as a center, is responsible for defending the penalty area against the man, and getting rebounds. Tabit has no chance to play anymore, that is, it is a waste. If he and Love are together, they will enter garbage time in the first quarter and have no defense.

The steal king is Paul of the Hornets, averaging 2.4 per game.

He failed to lead the team into the playoffs. After Lewis' form declined, the only one in the team who could help him share the offensive pressure was Ryan Anderson. "The Great Emperor" Oden performed stably and was reimbursed again.

The blocking king is Lakers center Andrew Bogut, averaging 2.6 per game.

After Bosh arrived, Bogut began to transform into the blue-collar direction, reducing his shots and becoming more beautiful in defensive data. He averaged a career high of 11.1 rebounds and could only score 12.6 points.

The Suns have confirmed the 13-man playoff roster. Two veterans, Rashid Wallace and Morris Peterson, were excluded. O'Neal, who had a injury, was included in the roster. As long as the fat man can play, it will be more effective than Rashid.

Peterson has been playing soybean this season, his quality has declined too much and his defensive ability has been lost. After considering it, the coaching staff brought Jeremy Lin with him. The garbage time can allow young players to go on the court to exercise.
