Unconsciously, the NBA regular season has opened for a period of time, before the start of the season, we had countless fantasies, we thought that the Lakers could play a 70-win record, and even felt that the Nets, even without Irving, under the leadership of Harden and Durant are the biggest giants in the East, but the reality will always wake up the dreamers, who can think that the first team in the league is the Bulls, we did not question the bulls' strong return, but never thought of such a start. The Warriors without Thompson are like a broken wing, but the Warriors can lead the way in the West, this is not luck, the pride of the dynasty does not allow them to fail again and again, and now they can proudly announce that the king is back. Tomorrow and accidents no one can predict, the Lakers and Nets who were optimistic about us at the beginning have become spectators this season.
So far in the game, the Bulls have become the only team in the league with 4 consecutive wins, to know that last season's Bulls were a team that could not enter the playoffs, and the reinforcement of just one season has made them the leader of the league, and the addition of Ball Brother, DeRozan and Caruso has made the Bulls' roster depth qualitatively improved. To put it bluntly, it is not the more expensive the player, the better, this is reflected in DeRozan's body, to know that the Lakers were also deRozan's ideal home, but after being forcibly intervened by Westbrook, DeRozan finally chose the Bulls, it is undeniable that whether it is star rating or data, Westbrook is stronger than DeRozan. After coming to the Bulls, DeRozan regained his second spring, averaging 22.5 points, 5.8 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game, which is the stats that DeRozan handed over, although it does not look conspicuous, but DeRozan's experience is what the Bulls need most. Just like in yesterday's game, DeRozan's ability at key moments really played a role, if the Lakers were chosen, maybe DeRozan really didn't have so many opportunities.
Of course, for the East, after several years of precipitation, has been completely inferior to the West, our philosophy may really be changed, if last season's East only three strong teams, then at least six or more teams at the beginning of this season to maintain enough competitiveness, aside from the Nets, Bucks and Philadelphia, the Heat is definitely the biggest dark horse in the new season.
Xiao Feng has always felt that the Heat are a team with good offensive and defensive skills, the perfection of the starting lineup is no less than that of any championship-winning team, and the depth of the lineup on the bench is connected, it is difficult for people to exclude the Heat, and now watching the Heat's game has only one feeling, that is, to enjoy, victory may not be too difficult, their game rhythm control is too good, strong defense casts this iron-blooded division. Of course, in addition to these two teams, there are also the slow rise of the Hawks and Knicks, and from the current lineup, even if these 7 teams are placed in the West, they still have absolute competitiveness.
Then we look at the West, there are a lot of old strong teams, basically occupying the top 6 positions in the West for many years, although the Jazz, Nuggets, Clippers and Suns are not the strongest team, but they are still the second tier of the team, if you are lucky, maybe like last season's Suns, squeezing into the Finals is not a dream.
But the Warriors is definitely the biggest surprise of the season, no one thought that the Warriors could get back on their feet, the opponent of the three-game winning streak seems to have more gold than the Bulls, the most terrible thing is that the current Warriors have not shown their full strength, Thompson has not returned, Kuminga also needs time to recuperate, just with a small repair to let the Warriors regain the lead in the West, such a Warriors team is too terrible, of course, what worries people is the depth of their lineup, What kind of level the warriors can achieve with a healthy team is chilling to think about.
Maybe the competition in the West has made us accustomed to it, in addition to the Warriors, there are not too many highlights in the West this season, if you have to say that there are, then it may be the Lakers, when can you run into a good lineup, when will Wei Shao be able to get back to state, too many questions are worth looking forward to, perhaps because we have too high expectations of the Lakers, we will always feel that the Lakers should be a more perfect team. Of course, with the Lakers with the same disease as the Nets, this pair of difficult brothers was the most optimistic team at the beginning, did not expect that after only a few games to reveal the original form, the voice of doubt is endless.
Although this is only the opening stage of the regular season, the mental state shown to us by the various teams has been greatly different, and unconsciously, we have more expectations for the new season.
