The first round of the NBA is still going on, all the teams have just finished G3, and there are even 2 sets of series, the progress is relatively fast, and it has come to G4. Generally speaking, this is because the NBA officials believe that they are evenly matched, and the series will be longer, so the schedule is scheduled earlier than other teams. After all the G3 ended, foreign media ESPN also updated the probability of winning the championship again: Lakers 0%, Clippers 1%, and the first team as high as 39.4%
5 teams under 1%: Lakers Pelicans 0%, Suns 0.1%, Magic 0.3%, Bucks 0.7%
There were three teams that trailed 3-0 in the series, but the Lakers pulled one back in G4 and are now 1-3. 0-3 behind, can't win at home, which means that the gap in strength is too big, and the Pelicans can't win the Thunder without Williamson. And even if the Lakers won 1 game, it was more like a return to the past, and the exit was already doomed. On the contrary, it is the Suns, who lost every game, but is considered to have a glimmer of life, maybe Booker and Durant still have a chance to break out, so keep a little suspense. The Bucks are in danger right now, and even Lillard is injured, which can basically declare the season end early. The Magic's offense is up and down too much, and the Cavaliers can't be so bad all the time, so ESPN is still not optimistic about the Magic's prospects.
6 teams over 1% to less than 5%: Clippers 1%, Heat 1.6%, 76ers 2.2%, Pacers 2.4%, Cavaliers 2.8%, Knicks 3.3%
The biggest problem of the Clippers is health, according to the reporter's exposure, Xiaoka's playing time in G4 will be limited, saying that his legs and feet are not strong, which shows that the injury is still very serious. Unless Butler returns, the Heat will have a hard time beating the Greens. The strength of the 76ers and the Knicks was already between them, but Embiid's injury affected the 76ers' record, and the two teams met in advance. The Pacers have won 4 games against the Bucks this season, and the lineup is restrained, and the situation is now favorable to the Pacers. The Cavaliers still have to work harder and play tougher games, and Mitchell has a long way to go.
5 teams over 5%: Mavericks 6%, Timberwolves 8.1%, Nuggets 14.4%, Thunder 17.8%, Celtics 39.4%
The Nuggets' opponent in the second round is the Timberwolves, and the intensity of the game will be very high, and when the Nuggets won the championship last year, they also said that the first round was the toughest for the Timberwolves. Because the twin towers have a great consumption of Mr. Yoo, this year the Timberwolves have continued to strengthen the lineup, and the strength of the wings should not be underestimated. No matter who the Thunder play in the West, they have a home-court advantage, and they have rolled up a storm of youth, just like the Thunder triple-double 12 years ago, which makes people sigh that it is another reincarnation.
The Mavericks should be able to achieve the following grams, the combination of Doncic and Irving, the score is too inexplicable, and after entering the playoffs, Doncic has also turned into a defensive gate, which can be said to be one of the strongest players in this year's playoffs. The Green Army lost 1 game to the Heat, in fact, it was just outside, you must know that the Heat shot 23 three-pointers, and it is impossible to be so accurate often. In fact, there is no team in the East that is a match for the Green Army, so ESPN thinks they have a good chance of reaching the Finals and winning the championship. Which team do you think can have the last laugh?
