With the passage of time, the regular season of the 21-22 season is almost over, the current team that plays more has played 76 games, the team that plays less has also played 75 games, and the remaining time of the regular season is less than 10%, which means that the regular season record ranking is about to be locked, the playoffs and playoffs are coming, the championship will soon be revealed, behind the 82 regular season games, most of the strong teams' goals are the championship, as for which team can win the championship, the well-known prediction media 538 has now given a prediction.
In the latest prediction of the US media 538, the Celtics have a 30% probability of winning the championship, which ranks first in the league, the 2 teams behind the green Kai are the Suns, the Bucks, the 2 teams that played the finals last season, their probability of winning the championship this season is actually not as good as the green Kai, which is indeed a bit surprising, if the green Kai wins the championship, their team history will have one more championship than the Lakers, which may be difficult for Lakers fans to accept, then, why is the probability of green Kai winning the championship will be high in the league 1st? Here the octopus may wish to list 3 factors, these three factors may help Lu Kai win the championship, in order to surpass the Lakers again in the number of championships?
3. Competition in the east is weak
There are more rotten teams in the Western Conference this season, on the whole, the East does look slightly stronger, but in the playoffs, such a situation may be reversed, in the 538 prediction, the probability of winning the championship reached 1% of the team has 11 teams, of which 5 teams in the East, 6 teams in the West, the East accounted for 45.5%, the West is 54.5%, the East is weaker than the West.
Relatively easier playoff promotion route, which makes Green Kai will be closer to the championship than the Western team, more importantly, in addition to Green Kai, the other 4 teams that currently have a 1% probability of winning the championship are the Nets, Bucks, Heat, 76ers, so far in the regular season this season, Green Kai has played the Nets with a 75% win rate, played 76 people with a win rate of 50%, played bucks with a win rate of 66.7%, and played a Heat win rate of 100%, and the possibility of them easily advancing is really high! (The Green Kai coach has served as an assistant coach for the Nets and 76ers.) ）
2. Strong forward combination
From the traditional basketball to the small-ball era, the NBA has been different from the past, the role of the front line in the team has been further expanded, from the No. 1 position defense to the No. 5 position, the strong front line is not afraid of the blocking and dismantling system, and the physical advantage of the front line makes it easy for them to get a dislocation effect after the blocking and dismantling, and it has been mentioned in previous years that modern basketball can be 5 small forwards.
Green Kai double probe flower is currently a very strong forward combination in the league, so far this season Jason Tatum averaged 27.1 points + 8.1 rebounds + 4.3 assists + shooting rate of 45%, Jaylen Brown averaged 23.4 points + 6.1 rebounds + 3.2 assists + shooting rate of 46.9%, double probe flower is too fierce, strong forward combination so that Green Kai has a good fighting ability against any team, or there is almost no shortcoming in the core lineup, as long as the double probe flower is not injured, the lower limit of Green Kai is really high!
1. Top defense in the league
The Lakers won the championship in 2020, when their defensive efficiency in the regular season ranked third in the league, having a good defense does not mean that they will definitely win the championship, but this will at least increase the possibility of winning the championship, the Celtics' defensive efficiency value so far in the 21-22 season is 105.9, which is the first in the league, behind them are the Suns and Warriors, or in the Eastern Conference, there is no team with too close defensive ability.
Top defense, strong forwards, weak playoff competitive environment in the East, under the influence of these 3 factors, the US media is optimistic about the Celtics winning the championship in the forecast, that is really a reasonable thing, if you insist on saying that they have any shortcomings, it may be that head coach Amy Uduka is not experienced enough, as a rookie manager, can he come up with a good operation in the big scene, it seems that only time can give the answer, right?
