Before writing this article, the first round of the Eastern Conference has ended a contest, Philadelphia beat the Raptors, the big score is 1-0 lead, and the promotion situation is very good.
Of course, Philadelphia's promotion to the next round is also expected, and for the other 6 teams, my prediction is as follows.
Scorched eagles over a hot fire
The Hawks' current good news is that Big Gen Collins is coming back, but Capela's injury situation directly affects the Hawks' move against the Heat.
After the Return of the Heat, the bench was upgraded again, with Lowry, Adebayor and Butler able to fight hard battles in the starting lineup, while substitutes Oladipo and Giro could also provide firepower.
The Hawks' leader, Trae Young, is equally important, and in the game against the Cavaliers, if Trae Young had not woken up in time in the second half, the Hawks might have missed the playoffs.
Last season, the Hawks made it to the Eastern Conference Finals, and compared to teams like the Heat that have experienced the Finals, the Hawks are still a little naïve. Compared with the Hawks' current shortage of major generals, the Heat, which have a relatively neat lineup, have the advantage.
Green Army Double Probe Flower Battle 711
The most anticipated matchup in the first round was Celtic and the Nets. The Nets, for various reasons, went from being at the top of the Eastern Conference at the beginning of the season to having to pass the playoffs to enter the playoffs, while the Celtics, on the other hand, struggled at the beginning of the season and got better and better in the second half of the season to second place in the East.
However, now that the Nets have ushered in a healthy return from the 711 combination, and the last few games of the season have also shown great ability, which is why other teams in the East chose to avoid them in the first round, but the Celtics are not afraid of the Nets, they bravely came to the Front of the Nets.
With double probing like Tatum and Brown, they also made the Nets uncomfortable in the playoffs last season, and this time is no exception. However, considering that Simmons is likely to make a comeback at the back, the Nets' odds have suddenly improved.
Although Simmons does not have the scoring ability of Harden, his defense is incomparable to Harden. For a team like the Nets that doesn't lack offensive talent, defense is where they need to be reinforced.
The bucks fought bulls successfully
After the Bucks won last season, their goal this year is to win consecutive titles. Judging from the first round, their selection was relatively easy.
Although the Bulls were eye-catching at the beginning of the season, the more they pulled back, the more they fought against the top four teams in the East, the Bulls' record was very eye-catching, which is why everyone likes to find the Bulls as the first round opponent of the playoffs.
The Bucks' roster this year is stronger than last season's, and Alphabet Brother is more eager for a championship after tasting the championship. He has said many times that he no longer cares about the regular season MVP and the scoring champion and the like, his goal is to win the championship.
The Bulls in the first round against the Bucks, it can be said that there is basically no chance of winning, even if DeRozan's middle shot is still picturesque, accurate as a god, he still can't lead the Bulls through the Bucks.
Finally, my prediction for the First Round in the East is that the Heat will be 4-2 Hawks, Celtics 2-4 Nets, Bucks 4-1 Bulls, 76ers 4-0 Raptors.
