On May 1, the Warriors defeated the Kings under Curry's leadership to advance to the Western Conference semifinals 4-3 on aggregate, and Curry scored 50 points to play the best game of his career, which was really strong. Previously, the Lakers had eliminated the Grizzlies, and the Warriors and Lakers met smoothly, which is very exciting. It is worth mentioning that the playoffs in the 22-23 season are very crazy, and there are many series on the following grams, such as the Clippers, Grizzlies, Kings, Cavaliers, Bucks and other top teams have been out, and who will become the championship is also the biggest suspense.
There is no doubt that the series between the Warriors and Lakers will be closely watched, and this may also be the most watched series of the season, and the PK between Curry and James continues, so that Curry and James will only have a maximum of 1 player in 2023 to reach the Finals, and they are both competing for a 5th career title, so the next games are very important. Having home-court advantage is the best news for the Warriors, who are strong at home and have learned to win on the road.
There are also predictions about who will advance to the Western Conference Finals between the Warriors and Lakers. It is worth mentioning that in the view of domestic reporter Yuan Fang, it is impossible for the Lakers to beat the Warriors, because in essence, the Lakers and the Warriors are not a one-level team. After all, the Lakers beat the Grizzlies 4-2, while the Warriors played seven games to make the cut.
This time, in Yuan Fang's view, the series between the Lakers and the Warriors, the Lakers will basically be eliminated 1-4 or 2-4, if they really play 7 games, it must be James who averaged 35+ per game to drag the series into the seven-game battle. Although the Lakers have changed a lot after the trade deadline, in essence, the Lakers and Warriors are not in the same division, it is impossible for the thick eyebrows to send 26 blocks (26 blocks in 6 games in the first round), Hachimura has no advantage in position, and there is no home court advantage, except for James, the Lakers are at a disadvantage in all aspects.
Subsequently, Yuan Fang also said amazingly, if the Suns reach the Western Conference Finals, the Warriors will definitely enter the Finals, and the King will be the most difficult opponent for the Warriors before entering the Finals. It can be seen that Yuan Fang believes that if the Suns enter the Western Conference Finals, once they face the Warriors, they will definitely be defeated.
The Warriors are really awesome and admirable. In the first round series, the Warriors won 3 consecutive games when trailing 2-0, although they lost in G6, but when it came to the tie-for-seven, the Warriors beat the Kings by 20 points on the road, which is not luck, because the Warriors are the most experienced team in the NBA to win the championship, Curry and Towns, Dream Green know when to make a force, whether they can reverse the Kings is not accidental.
Next, if the Lakers can't win in the first 2 games, against a team of the Warriors' level, the possibility of being out is indeed very high. The author also believes that the Warriors are more likely to advance to the Western Conference finals, but the Lakers are not without opportunities, and the most important player is the thick eyebrows, who need to have the upper hand against Looney and even dominate the interior completely. Because if the Lakers and Warriors compete for shooting, there will definitely be no play, and they can only play the inside advantage so that they have a chance. But the Warriors are not a perfect team, and the overall defense is generally a big problem, if you meet the Suns in the Western Conference finals, you are still optimistic that the Suns will enter the Finals, but only if the core players remain healthy and cannot miss the game.
