Beijing time on April 18, the NBA Heat in the first round of the playoffs G1 defeated the Eagles, Celtics defeated the Nets, Bucks beat the Bulls, Suns defeated the Pelicans, in addition to the green Kai difficult to win, the other 3 teams to win the game is relatively easy, in the regular season to achieve better results all won the game, all the teams that played at home won, it seems that there were no accidents, and after these 4 games, US media 538 updated the playoff promotion second round predictions of these 8 teams, in the recent forecast, the Bucks promotion probability is close to 100%, pelicans, Bulls are very hanging?
After the first round of the 4 playoff games, the US media updated the promotion probability of these 8 teams in the second round, in the latest forecast, the Bucks promotion probability is 97%, the Suns 95%, the Celtics 89%, the Heat 82%, the Eagles 18%, the Nets 11%, the Pelicans 5%, the Bulls 3%, of which the Bucks promotion probability ranks first in the league, the Bulls probability ranks first in the league, and the defending champion Bucks have a promotion probability of nearly 100%. Their excellent defense has dragged the Bulls into their own rhythm, and unless DeRozan can penetrate the opponent like Kobe Bryant, the Bulls may not win a game in the first round.
The situation of the Pelicans is very similar to that of the Bulls, the overall strength of the Suns is very strong, last season played the Finals, this season's regular season record is the first in the league, the tactical system, players, head coach, the Suns are all-round suppression of the Pelicans, coupled with Chris Paul's extraordinary play, the Pelicans lost G1 is really a very normal thing, Brandon Ingram's performance in G1 is indeed much better than Currytrey Young Jr., but this is obviously not enough, the Pelicans want to win, Ingram must come up with a play-off performance, of course, it is understandable that he can't come up with it, after all, he is a rookie in the playoffs...
The Pelicans and Bulls are indeed hanging, they may even be swept out in the first round, the Eagles G1 lost to the Heat, Trae Young, Bogdan Bogdanovic totaled 20 shots 19 iron, 2 played the "war criminal" level performance, which is indeed very bad, but this also makes them seem to be able to look forward to, after all, they can hardly be more iron, bottoming out is also possible, the Nets are the only team close to winning in the Game on April 18, but their promotion probability is actually not as good as the Eagles, This is a bit outrageous, this should also be the only unreasonable place in the latest prediction of the US media, right?
