This season's NBA regular season has entered the final stage, the ranking of the regular season has been basically determined, there will be no large-scale changes, and many teams are even ready to prepare for the arrival of the playoffs. And with the test of the regular season, the strengths and weaknesses of each team are clearly seen, so which teams have begun to show their championship appearance this season?
Fifth place: Miami Heat
This season's Miami Heat are undoubtedly the model for a team that makes a fortune in the East, and after a wave of winning streaks, they are currently in first place in the East with 44 wins and 23 losses. This year's Heat are only stronger than they were 20 years ago, especially the guard line ushered in Lowry, filling the embarrassing situation of no point guard before; in addition, the team's Hiero has evolved again, and now it has become the team's main offensive point, coupled with the addition of PJ Tucker to supplement the strength of the front, this year's Heat really has the potential to do things.
Fourth place: Philadelphia 76ers
If the Miami Heat are muffled and rich, then the Philadelphia 76ers are big news, especially the mid-season trade to Harden, which makes the 76ers highly anticipated. After changing Simmons' position to Harden, the 76ers' backcourt intensity has undoubtedly upgraded a lot compared to before, coupled with the growth of young talents such as Maxi and Sebor, Embiid played MVP-level performance, and today's Philadelphia 76ers are undoubtedly a member of the Eastern Conference championship.
Third place: Golden State Warriors
Although the Warriors' post-All-Star record is not good, if you underestimate them, you obviously don't understand the ball. The Warriors are undoubtedly the most luxurious team in the league at present, and their downturn is also because of injuries, especially after the lack of Green, the Warriors' offensive and defensive system has been shuffled, and many tactics have not been played before. If green returns healthy in the playoffs, plus the return of Wiseman, Porter, Iguodala, and Payton, rookies Cumminga and Moody can also be on their own, with the current healthy Splash Brothers + Poole + Wiggins + Rooney, Cole can play too many cards!
Second place: Milwaukee Bucks
But when it comes to title contenders, how can we not mention last year's defending champion Bucks? The Bucks have maintained their original squad after winning the championship, and they are currently playing a second-place record of 42 wins and 25 losses in the East, which is still a team that should not be underestimated. The Bucks' style of play is still based on the strong impact of the alphabet brother, attracting defense to let outside players shoot empty positions, this tactic can be said to be tried and tested, and last year it has been a huge success.
1st place: Phoenix Suns
However, the team in the best form this year, and the team with the most champions, is undoubtedly the Phoenix Suns. Building on last year's Finals, the Suns' chemistry is better this year than last year's, and almost every player who enters the rotation will play a role, reminiscent of the Warriors in the 15-16 season. Under the premise of retaining the iron triangle of Booker, Paul and Ayton, the team's Bridges, Cameron Johnson, Crowder and Shamet have played well, and the talent reserves inside and outside are the top in the league. Especially this year, they have won 53 wins and 13 losses in the league without bloodshed, which also makes them the most championship team. （ikuet）
