The first round of the NBA playoffs is over, and then it's time for the semifinals, with the Eastern Side advancing to the Heat, Bucks, Celtics and 76ers, and the West side: Suns, Grizzlies, Lone Rangers and Warriors. It's a pity that the Lakers and Nets we are most concerned about have already been out of the game early, and the playoffs that lack a hint of star flavor still have his unique charm? Today, Xiao Feng will talk to you about the playoff semifinals.
The first is the Heat against the 76ers, to be honest, the strength of these two teams is almost the same, the 76ers led by the double core team and the other side's five Tigers will not be much different, but the 76ers side still has a big hidden danger, Embiid's concussion is a big threat, if you can't play for a long time, the impact on the 76ers is still quite large, of course, the Heat side is not much better, Butler and Lowry's injuries will also become the hidden danger of this series. Of course, for Harden, maybe this is the best opportunity, since leaving the Rockets, we all feel that Harden's offensive ability has been weakened, but Xiao Feng has always felt that Harden is in the forbearance, he just has not waited for the opportunity to prove himself, and now embiid is absent, Harden is likely to usher in a big outbreak under the premise of contract years, and for this series, Xiao Feng's prediction is that the 76ers will win 4-3 against the Heat.
Then there is the Celtics vs. Bucks, it is undeniable that both teams have the strength to win the championship, the Bucks need not say more, last season's championship, and retained the core framework of the lineup, they have been the focus of media and fans, but with the invasion of injuries, the Bucks may be difficult to defeat the morale of the Celtics, the Lack of Middleton Bucks is like losing half an arm. On the other hand, the Celtics, all healthy, just completed the sweep of the Nets, many people feel that Durant is not in good shape, but Xiao Feng feels that on the contrary, it can only be said that the Celtics' defense is too good, if the Warriors' death five small is an invincible existence, then the Celtics' death front group is the nightmare of all teams, the dominance of both ends of the attack and defense has been reflected in the past two months, the alignment does not suffer losses, the offense does not suffer losses, obviously, the Celtics have more advantages, so Xiao Feng predicts, The Celtics beat the Bucks 4-2.
The Suns vs. the Lone Ranger, this is the peak of the new and old defenders, Paul completed the closing work of the first round with a near-perfect performance, and Doncic also led the team to achieve the first breakthrough of his career with his outstanding performance, the Suns are a team with good offensive and defensive skills, their balance is the biggest capital, but Xiao Feng wants to remind everyone not to ignore the change of the Lone Ranger, with the arrival of Kidd, completely changed the Lone Ranger's defense, if you simply think that they are relying on defense to win the game then it is wrong, The Lone Ranger side recruited too many shooters to help Doncic open up space, and their outside firepower was enough to let them fight the Suns for 7 games, of course, in the end, Xiao Feng felt that the Suns had completed the promotion 4-3.
Finally, there are the Warriors and the Grizzlies, what do these two teams say? The Warriors created a surprise in the first round of the game, but the Grizzlies did not perform as expected, but the regular season record tells us not to despise the Grizzlies, and perhaps some people think that the Warriors will easily win the Grizzlies, whether it is the ability of the stars or the experience of the Warriors to dominate. So look at it, it is wrong, the Grizzlies can come to the present is definitely not accidental, especially the Warriors side has obvious shortcomings, the Grizzlies will definitely use such an opportunity to do the article, interestingly, in recent games, although the Grizzlies won very difficult, it is clear that the Timberwolves gave them a chance to exercise themselves, their success came more difficult, Xiao Feng's only hope is that the Warriors do not arrogant, come up with the best state to meet the Grizzlies, Xiao Feng predicted that the Warriors 4-3 successful promotion.
Well, today's topic is here, the above prediction is only Xiao Feng's personal opinion, please forgive me for the deficiencies.
