On April 24, Beijing time, the Suns were 0-2, but the probability of promotion surpassed that of the Zhan Huang Lakers, and James did not want to see the scene happening, which really felt that he was not as good as Durant.
The Suns' game against the Timberwolves is also over, and in the end, this time the Suns have a super big three, but they are still 0-2 behind the Timberwolves, and the situation is really very good. But at the same time, there is good news, the Suns, who are about to return to their home court, have a higher probability of advancing than the Los Angeles Lakers, who are also down 0-2. It seems that in the eyes of the American media, they also feel that this time the Zhan Huang Lakers may be one step ahead of the Suns, and the Suns still have a glimmer of hope for a counterattack.
The Lakers have been eliminated before, and the current certainty is that the probability of this team has dropped to 6.6%, which is the same as the probability of the Philadelphia 76ers, who are also 0-2 behind, and there is less than a 7% chance that both sides will complete the promotion. So back to now, what is the probability of advancing from the Suns to the same 0-2 behind? It's only 7.3%, but it's still a little higher than the Los Angeles Lakers.
It's also 0-2 behind, why is the probability of the Suns advancing higher than that of the Lakers? In fact, it's very simple, on the one hand, the league feels that Durant is more reliable than James in the playoffs. After all, there is an advantage in age, in terms of age, Durant is now a real 36 years old, James is 40 years old, this is 4 years old, and there may still be some gaps in ability and physical fitness. In terms of physical strength and ability, the American media now feels that Durant is better than James.
Another point is that the Suns were the only team to win two games against the defending champion Nuggets last season, and other teams in the West, including the Lakers, couldn't do it, and James even led the team to be swept. At that time, they also came up to fall behind 0-2, and returned to the home court to play a 2-2 score, almost winning against the Nuggets.
So back at home, it is not ruled out that the Suns can chase two games in a row, and the Timberwolves have the ability of the Nuggets? Definitely not, the Nuggets were stable at the time, their experience is here, but if the young Timberwolves are also like last season, the Suns who returned to their home court to complete the counterattack of chasing two games in a row, it is very likely that they will not be able to withstand it, so the Suns have a chance to reverse, their practice is that the performance in the first two games is not very good, and they will launch a counterattack later.
In fact, in terms of lineup, the Suns may not be able to compare with the Lakers, at least the comparison of the two masters, the thick eyebrows around James are definitely more powerful than Booker next to Durant, more offensive and defensive, even if it is compared with the gap between the three leaders around the two sides, the Lakers can play more people. The thickness of the squad is also more dominant than that of the Suns, but they still feel that the Suns are stronger, which can only be said that the two sides are inferior to the core, and the American media believes that the Suns have a better chance.
In the last game, James was full of firepower, broke out wildly, and almost led the Lakers to win by himself, and finally scored 26 points, 8 rebounds and 12 assists in 9 of 19, while Durant only scored 6 of his 15 shots, and only had 18 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists in 6 of 15 games, and suffered from data and efficiency, but the media still thinks that the Suns' promotion probability is higher than that of the Lakers, do you say this is a magical thing?
