Super Lord of the Rings

The record is determined, 1-8 in the Western Conference, Kings, Thunder, Spurs, Grizzlies, Clippers, Nuggets, Warriors, Rockets.

The Lakers eventually ranked ninth and missed the playoffs, which caused the Lakers to lose a lot of fans.

The Big Four of the Lakers, with the exception of Kobe, are all younger than the Big Four of 2004. At least the Lakers reached the finals that year, the gap was too big.

This made O'Neal very happy and made him look good. No one will compare Howard with him in the future.

The rebuilt Hornets ranked tenth and failed to reach the playoffs. The performance of the players was still impressive.

They lost due to injuries. Anthony Davis missed 20 games, otherwise they would have played better. The twin towers of Davis and Favors are very strong.

In addition, the Hornets lacked a point guard. They replaced Harris with the Hawks' Marvin Williams, which became a big failure. The starting point guard is Beverley, who is not good at organization, and the substitute is Brian Roberts, who is even less good at organization.

After this season, the Hornets will be renamed the Pelicans, and the name of the Hornets will be inherited by the Bobcats. They are very promising.

The Trail Blazers are ranked 11th, also because of injuries, and are not weak. If these two teams were not unlucky, the Lakers would have made a bigger joke, and the Big Four were competing for the No. 1 pick.

The bottom teams in the Western Conference are the Timberwolves, Suns, Mavericks, and Jazz.

1-8 in the Eastern Conference, Knicks, Heat, Nets, Pacers, Celtics, Hawks, Bucks, 76ers.

When the game started, the 76ers players never dreamed that they could still make the playoffs.

Last summer's trade, the 76ers became the biggest losers. Bynum was out for the entire season, did not play a game, and sat on the sidelines showing off his blow-dry haircut. For this reason, the 76ers gave away a center who can shoot three-pointers, a potential newcomer, and core Iguodala for nothing.

What makes the playoffs is not that the 76ers are strong, but that other teams are weaker and have poor tricks. With 33 wins and 49 losses, they will be ranked 8th in the Eastern Conference.

At present, the strength gap between the top three teams in the Eastern Conference and other teams is completely widened, and there is no competition at all. Outside the top five, all teams are bad, with less than half the winning rate.

The Bobcats, Cavaliers, and Magic hardly win games, and they are just waiting to select a high-ranking rookie in the draft to train them.

In this environment, how can NBA attendance be so high? However, some bad teams can still make money.

For example, the Lakers are still one of the most profitable teams in the league.

After two days of rest, the playoffs begin.

The Kings determined a 13-man lineup, but they ended up with only 14 players and did not sign the 15th pick. Only James and Wang Jun in the team have played more than 30 minutes, and they have just arrived. In this case, the entire team remains healthy.

The depth of the lineup has this advantage, and the Spurs have no injuries. The two teams are the most successful in player rotation.

The unlucky Rockets will face the Kings in the first round. Although the lineup is not bad, everyone knows that they will lose.

Vasquez's regular season statistics are very good, but his performance on the defensive end is poor. He is 198cm tall and is a big point guard with slow lateral movement. He is most afraid of the type Thomas.

Adelman arranged a two-back tactic in the second quarter, with Thomas and Curry playing together, widening the score.

Eric Gordon was selected as an All-Star, and his statistics are very good. He was only abused against Wang Jun.

Center Asik is a target that can be let go. Scola was sold out last summer and joined the Suns. The substitute is Motiejunas, a softie.

Parsons, who plays as a guest power forward, is no match for James. He is only a second-round pick, and his backup, Terrence Jones, is even worse.

Small forwards Delfino and Budinger are very average defensively, and their main role is outside shooting.

The Rockets have a lot of rotation players, but their abilities are lagging behind in all aspects. The situation in the next three games is similar, they can't attack well and can't defend.

The Kings easily swept the Rockets 4-0 and advanced to the second round.

In other games, the Thunder VS Warriors advanced 4-2. Lowry returns in the playoffs, Jeremy Lin returns to the sixth man position, and the Warriors are stronger.

The stars were inferior to the Warriors and were unfortunately eliminated.

The Spurs eliminated the Nuggets 4-1. Their lineup had no obvious weaknesses and worked well together.

The Grizzlies eliminated the Clippers 4-3 and played the hardest game, so the Kings took a week off.

Both sides have stars who can attack with three-pointers. The Grizzlies' superior perimeter defense is the key to victory.

Conley's efficiency in guarding Irving dropped, Tony Allen guarded Crawford, and DeRozan also frustrated Hayward.

Bledsoe's playing time has been reduced. He is too short and suffers from playing the 2 position. After Irving arrived, he mainly served as a substitute at the No. 1 position. Now he especially wants to leave the Clippers and go to a team where he can be a starter.

Irving has exposed some weaknesses, and poor performance on the defensive end will limit his ability to become a superstar.

There is no suspense in the Eastern Conference game. The top four teams advance together. The Pacers beat the Celtics easily, winning 4-1 and sweeping the other three series.

In the second round, the Kings played another trick against the Grizzlies.

Tony Allen was helpless. Against Wang Jun, none of the defensive methods he was good at could be used. Wang Jun does not attack with the ball, but relies on screens to escape and play in mismatches. Tony Allen only needs to chase and defend, and Wang Jun will pass to his teammates.

If Love and Gasol are slower to defend, Curry, Ray Allen, Carter and others will take the shot.

James also has a clear advantage in singles out DeRozan in the counterattack. After joining the Kings, he stopped walking and was much less controversial.

Only Curry was defeated by Conley and had little performance. He mainly stood on the outside waiting for opportunities to take action and did not move.

In the substitute contest, the Kings completely defeated the Grizzlies. The trident of Carter, Ray Allen, and Thomas left the Grizzlies' few unknown substitutes at a loss.

On the defensive end, the two veterans Battier and Brand exude the final light and heat.

Brand worked particularly hard. He had not yet won a championship and had a strong desire to win. He still resisted Gasol and did not let Gasol, who weighed more than himself, wreak havoc at the basket.

Kawhi's scoring was mainly from the outside, and he didn't rebound much. His performance was weak enough.

4-0, the Kings once again swept to advance.

The Thunder eliminated the Spurs 4-2 and advanced to the Western Conference Finals. Personal heroism defeats team basketball. Westbrook and Durant have super offensive power. Ade and Ibaka can contribute stable mid-range shots.

On the defensive end, Sefolosha played a significant role in limiting the Spurs' high pick-and-roll.

The Knicks lost to the Pacers in an upset 3-4 in the Eastern Conference. The Nets eliminated the Heat 4-3 and reached the Eastern Conference Finals.

Of the two teams willing to spend money, only the Nets have tasted the sweetness.

The Heat's introduction of Billups failed to transform the No. 1 position. He had nothing to do against Paul and was often passed in one step, which became the main reason for losing. In the summer, it's time for him to consider retiring.

The Big Four of the Knicks performed mediocrely, but Chandler performed well and defended the penalty area. Substitute JR Smith failed to drive the bench offense and was defended as a blacksmith.

The Pacers showed a dark horse attitude, relying on defense and team basketball. Lance Stephenson performed well. Unfortunately, Granger missed the playoffs due to injury, otherwise the Pacers would be stronger.

Many people are beginning to be optimistic about the Pacers entering the finals. In the regular season, they lost two games to the Kings. The point difference was not too big. It is more interesting than the defeated Nets entering the finals.

However, the Pacers only have a hope of winning, and the chance is very slim.

This season, the Kings are on another level.
