It's time to do the n.b.a. in the NBA play-offs again

It's time for scientific divination again, so let's gossip and get straight to the point.

鹈鹕vs 湖人

In the fight between the West Seven and the West Eight, both teams have two lives, and neither team wants to meet the Nuggets. The first round against the defending champions is a struggle, but the problem is that neither team has a choice, so it is self-defeating to clear the two lives, wouldn't it be a clown?

The Pelicans have a favorable home court, but the time is in the hands of the Lakers. The so-called time is influence, after all, one is located in Los Angeles, and the other is rich in chicken wings. Although the chief helmsman nominally hopes that a bowl of water will be fair and impartial, there will always be a voice in his heart that tortures himself:

"Huazi, you don't want the playoffs to be crammed with small-market teams, right? ”

So admittedly, the Lakers deserve some kind of attention, more or less. But then again, even if it's a simple competition, the Lakers still have an advantage over the Pelicans, especially when it comes to that kind of key level of competition, the Lakers' hunting experience is unmatched. In particular, two games were typical, with the Lakers winning by 40 points in the semifinals of the midseason. On the final day of the battle, the Lakers won 124-108.

The world knows that Williamson was born with divine powers, and he is invincible with the impact of his horizontal flesh. It's just that once upon a time, Ah King was also known as "the dragon walks and the tiger walks, invincible". Even though he is already old, when he focuses on winning a single game, he still has the ability to perform with enough weight on both the offensive and defensive sides. And this may be the underlying logic of the Lakers' repeated arrests of the Pelicans. The ace of the house is firmly covered by the Lent elders and cannot play, how can the team get it?

Projected winner: Lakers

Kings vs Warriors

If you were to choose the unluckiest award of the season, the Kings would be the one who was far ahead. During the March sprint, the team actually folded Huerter and Monk in succession. As we all know, the Kings are a team that relies heavily on outside output, and once they fall, it will be difficult to make up for their losses.

The data speaks for itself, and since April, the Kings have averaged 43.9 outside shots per game, leading the league with a shooting percentage of only 35.6%, which is mid-range in the league. In other words, after losing Huerter and Monk, the Kings took more and more shots from the outside, but in exchange for a shooting percentage lower than the season average. That's right, not every rotation boy who is ordered to be in danger can bloom gorgeous sparks.

With Huerter replaced by Ellis, the Kings' starting five had a net win per 100 possessions plummeting from 6.1 to 1.2. Take Munch out again, and the man on the bench who can bring imagination will be lost. That's why the Kings are generally underwhelmed, and while their opponents, the Warriors, are weaker than they were last season, but the Warriors have a peculiar trait this season, which is that they have been phenomenal on the road, ranking 25-16 in the league in the regular season, but they have often struggled at the Chase Center.

Compared with the king who has "objective excuses", the warriors are undoubtedly the side that has their backs. The so-called backwater not only refers to the salary of more than 200 million luxury tax, but also includes the money of many players. While some veterans will inevitably pass by, being able to apply what they've learned in the playoffs and even in the playoffs can help you get a good price in the offseason. After all, wouldn't it be too unreasonable for a champion team that was still at the top two years ago to not even pass the play-offs two years later?

Expected winner: Warriors

Philadelphia vs Heat

Philadelphia's choice to hide Embiid on the closing day was nothing more than to recharge his batteries. After all, against the Magic before, the knee was soft and almost didn't scare the team's coaching staff management out of the body.

In April, he averaged 30.4 points, 9.2 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1.2 blocks and 1.4 steals in less than 31 minutes per game. And with Embiid's comeback, Philadelphia ended with an eight-game winning streak.

So the Heat need to face the most direct problem, that is: how to limit Embiid's play as much as possible? Pay attention to limiting rather than preventing as much as possible, after all, unless the mentality of a master is unbalanced and self-destructive, it is difficult to carry his output through single defense. It is inevitable to rush into the encirclement, after all, Embiid's most significant improvement is that he has sublimated his ability to respond. In the past, Embiid could only be regarded as a rough strategy, and this season he has gradually found his way out.

On one side, there are individuals who have exploded in output, while on the other side have been plagued by poor offense throughout the season. In terms of points per game, the bottom of the Heat league is only higher than a few pendulum teams, which is really unsightly, and in terms of 100 rounds of output, the Heat is still a mess and weaker than the Rockets. Advancing to the play-offs with such an attack is like killing Captain Matt to come to Shenyang Street, specifying that there is no good juice to eat. Unless Jimmy recites the mantra "Daddy loves me again" during the game, it's just that this thing is estimated to have a limit on the number of times, can you use it rashly?

Expected winner: Philadelphia

Bulls vs Hawks

may be the one that lacks the most attention, after all, both the bull and the eagle have been designated as the role of accompanying the prince to study. What's the use of you two working hard to find a winner, isn't it for the loser between the East and the East?

Well, out of respect, it is still necessary to evaluate the strength of the two teams, similar to Philadelphia, the Hawks also welcomed back the main player Yang Buregret in the closing stage of the season, but welcoming back Yang Buregret directly gave the team a six-game losing streak, and the reverse Embiid belonged to yes. And there is still such data circulating in the market:

When Yang Buregret & Murray lead the team separately, the Eagles can win 50%, but when the two join forces, the team wins only 41.7%, what the hell is this? Divide is a good for both sides, and a combination is a bad ...... No wonder the Eagles lineup looks quite beautiful, it's not like this at all, there are bad guys in the crowd.

Before the offseason arrived, there was already news that the Hawks were considering demolishing their home next season. It's just that he has to play the play-offs first before demolishing the house, and from Snyder's standpoint, does he really have the courage to take the two brothers apart and use them?

There's always the strange feeling that the bull just needs to hold his feet and wait for the eagle to blow itself up.

Projected winner: Bulls
