Quietly won 8 consecutive victories, and the Big Four challenged the whole league! Lao Zhan also admitted that you are the most champion
As the NBA schedule continues, the playoffs are just over a month away. The teams in the league are making the final sprint. And the pattern of the east and west is becoming more and more clear. The Timberwolves, who are firmly in the top trade in the West, have won the championship by defending and built a tough guy team.
Edwards and Towns are the offensive core, Gobert is the defensive gate, and McDaniels and Lee Kyle are the left and right protectors, allowing the Wolves to pass all the way and still be the first. On the Thunder's side, relying on the new Thunder four young combinations of SGA, Holmgren, Giddey and Jalen Williams, they also got a good ranking in the regular season, and Alexander has a supergiant style.
The Clippers have had some ups and downs lately, but have also settled in the top four in the West. Both the Lakers and the Warriors have to move up the rankings a little bit, because if they are not careful, they will have no hope of the playoffs. The Mavericks are another dark horse in the West, relying on trades at the trade deadline, just like the Lakers last season. The Suns are still repeating the same old tune, and after Beal's injury, Durant and Booker are under more offensive pressure, and the defense is still a shortcoming.
To the east, the Boston Celtics are on top of the pack. At 45-12, it is not only the first in the East, but also the first in the league. The Cavaliers, who are second in the East, are basically locked up in the regular season championship this season, and they are still 7.5 wins apart. It's a bit of an 18-year Rocket, Warriors.
And if you look at the Celtic schedule, they have quietly won eight in a row. On the eastern side, knights can wrestle their wrists. After the Bucks went through the turmoil of changing coaches, their record did not reach 5 percent, and Lillard often performed superbly, making people unable to see tomorrow. On the 76ers' side, after Embiid's major injury, it is difficult for the combination of Maxey + Harris to carry the banner, and although the Knicks have improved recently, they still lack run-in.
Only the Celtics, the T0 team in the East. Some stats speak for themselves, with 46.9 rebounds per game, first in the league, 6.2 blocks per game, second in the league, and 16.3 three-pointers per game, first in the league. With an offensive efficiency of 121.2, he ranks first in the league, and the Celtics today are even comparable to the Warriors with 73 wins.
And the home of the Celtics is also the most difficult to bite.
With 26 wins and 3 losses, it can be called the home court of the devils, and even the Nuggets' plateau has to bow to the wind.
Last summer, the addition of Porzingis + Holiday directly made the Celtics take off on the spot. Boshen gives the Celtics inside fearlessness, and Holle Di Bismart can do more. Coupled with the offensive ability of the double tanhua, as well as Horford's veteran experience, and Derrick White's growth this season, there are also high-quality substitutes such as Keta and Hauser on the bench.
When you get to the playoffs, you can see what is called the first place in the league and what is called the Big Four to challenge the whole league.
Lao Zhan previously said in an interview with the media that the Celtics are the team with the best tactical literacy in the entire NBA, and their roster depth is very strong. Potentially, Lao Zhan has already seen the Celtics as opponents in the Finals.
The Celtics don't have a particularly big shortcoming at the moment, the only downside is that Tatum and Brown are prone to power outages in the playoffs. But don't worry about this season, the two of them pulled, and Boshen and White are in the background, this is the confidence of the Big Four.
