On April 12, Beijing time, the 2023-2024 regular season is underway, in which Brandon Boston said that Wicca Peppers are all Hall of Fame level and I learned a lot from them, and LeVert talked about Mitchell's resurgence and I'm happy about it, which is great for the team. Congratulations to the boss Ballmer, the NBA playoffs first group of matchups are officially released, James Harden, Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, Wei Shao, will compete with Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving, when the tide goes out, we will know who is swimming naked.
Due to the key game against the Phoenix Suns, head coach Tyronn Lue chose to take a strategic rotation, and the Big Four of James Harden, Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, and Wei Shao were directly rotated and rested, leaving Hyland to lead the team alone, and was finally overtaken by Kevin Durant and Booker and lost the game. It should be emphasized that the loss of the Clippers did not affect the standings, but the Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors became the top losers, they won two play-off games and faced the Denver Nuggets led by Jokic and Murray, who are the defending champions.
It is worth mentioning that because the Dallas Mavericks successfully won the Miami Heat, Jimmy Butler and Adebayo regretted losing, and the Los Angeles Clippers lost to the Phoenix Suns and Kevin Durant. The first group of NBA playoffs is officially released, that is, the Dallas Mavericks, who have Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, face the Los Angeles Clippers led by James Harden, Wei Shao, Kawhi Leonard, and Paul George.
You must know that in the 2023-2024 season with the Dallas Mavericks, Luka Doncic played in a total of 70 regular season games, averaging 33.9 points, 9.2 rebounds and 9.8 assists per game, and Kyrie Irving played a total of 58 regular season games, averaging 25.6 points, 5 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game, and their chemistry is getting better and better. On the other hand, Wei Shao, who plays for the Los Angeles Clippers, can average 11.2 points, 5.1 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game, James Harden can average 16.7 points and 5.2 rebounds per game, and George can average 22.8 points and 5.3 rebounds per game.
Now with the release of the first group of NBA playoffs, it is not the Los Angeles Lakers, nor the Golden State Warriors, but the Dallas Mavericks vs. the Los Angeles Clippers, these are two teams, in the last five years, three times to meet, the latter won twice, the former has no advantage. It should be noted that the combination of Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, after the run-in, their chemistry is stronger than the combination of James and Davis, so they can still win the first round of the game through performance against the Big Four such as Harden and George.
