With the arrival of the All-Star, the current NBA regular season is also over, now most teams have played nearly 60 games in the case of more than 20 games left, the division situation is now very obvious, if the Nets and Lakers can not stay healthy or find a state in the second half, they want to win the championship is almost impossible, for now the two most optimistic teams in the offseason, the Nets and lakers may not even be able to enter the playoffs this year, as long as Durant does not return to the Nets will certainly not be able to resist.
And recently NBA star Paul Pierce for the division champion predicted, in the "KG Certified" program Pierce was interviewed by the finals will be which two teams, Pierce first analyzed the East, he said: "If you stay healthy, the Bulls will rush out of the East, now there is no wing player playing better than DeRozan, who would have thought that the Bulls would play so well this year? If Lavin and Bauer stay healthy, they can rush out of the east. ”
The Bulls are now second in the division with a record of 38 wins and 21 losses, the record is equal to that of the First Heat, the Heat have recently been able to return to the first place because they are all out of the game, and the Bulls have recently won five consecutive games with DeRozan's single core, as Pierce said, Azan may be the best winger of the season, Before Beal thought that Harden played the number one position and was the first quarterback of the league, and the result was DeRozan, the king of the middle distance.
This season DeRozan can average 28.1 points, 5.2 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 0.9 steals per game, shooting 51.7% from the field, 34.3% from three-point range, and the fourth in the league to average points per game, which is not the most terrible place for Azan, he is the king of the final quarter of the season, and the key moments are also stable, averaging 3.9 points per game in 3.3 minutes in key moments this season, shooting 54.1%, shooting 66.7% from three-point range, and shooting 90.2% from the free throw line. A three-shot shooting rate of up to 210% at key moments is terrifying!
As long as the ball brother and Caruso can return healthy, the Bulls will improve a notch at the defensive level, and Kobe White has also played out, in the current situation as long as DeRozan and Lavin remain healthy Indeed in the East I think there are not many teams that can give them pressure, like the Nets, Irving away, the Heat core Butler does not have three-point ability, maybe the 76ers after welcoming Harden and the fully physical Bucks can pose a threat to the Bulls, in my opinion the Eastern Heat, Bucks, Both the Bulls and the 76ers have a chance to make it out of the East.
Pierce then predicted the pattern of the West, saying to the West: "I don't think anyone can beat the Phoenix Suns in the West, although their games are not so good, but McGee has become more brilliant in the last few years, and his addition is the most underrated." If only the Suns had him last season the Suns could beat the Bucks. "Last season there was McGee who could beat the Bucks we don't know after all the series is over.
But this season's Suns are indeed stronger than last season in terms of lineup structure, but also added more than Yongbo and Craig this Yang Jean Tai bench depth is better than before, speaking of the league's bench lineup is the best team, I think the Suns should be the only slot, and the Suns also have their weaknesses, Ayton and Booker did not grow as fast as expected, and then Paul is a year older, and in the more targeted playoffs I don't know if Paul's physical fitness can keep up.
The Western Conference is indeed not as competitive as the East, the Nuggets injured two cores, the Lakers on the side of the thick eyebrow brother in the playoffs may not be able to come back, the Warriors are very strong but this team of young people are easy to make mistakes in the playoffs, but if Wiggins can play well, it is estimated that they can have the ability to play with the Suns, as for the Jazz They do not have decent stars, Gobert is also struggling against the five small, and secondly, the Grizzlies are still inexperienced and may be able to reach the second round, but they will suffer losses if they lack playoff experience.
Clippers can't come back they don't have the strength to rush the championship, and the Timberwolves and Grizzlies don't have enough experience to make a proper on-the-spot response, the Lone Ranger now has only one core of Doncic, although Doncic has recently played the level of James in 2009, but in the West it is simply not realistic for a person to carry out the division, so I think the Suns and Warriors are the most promising.
Speaking of which, what do you think about the divisional championship? Welcome to leave a message to discuss.
