NBA: The opening game knocked Jordan

Chapter 181: The Playoffs, Here It Comes!!! (Subscription please!) ）

This season’s playoffs will officially start on the 419th, and the first big thing in this season’s playoffs is that the first round becomes a 7-game 4 system, a change that directly led to Maddie’s reversal when he faced the Pistons in the first round 3-1.

I’m already thinking about my opponent in the next round, and it’s a stain that Maddie can’t erase throughout her career.

Ahead of the playoffs, ESPN predicts the East-West Conference playoff matchup.

Western Conference Playoff First Round Predictions:

The first group showdown, the first in the league Kings and the eighth in the West, the Suns.

Regular season head-to-head record: The Kings are 4-0 and the Kings sweep the Suns. ，

In terms of strength, this set of matchups is the most uninteresting set of matchups in the eyes of all media, the two teams are far from the same strength, and the Suns have no way to pose any threat to the Kings.

Pre-game prediction: Kings 4-0 Suns.

The Suns and the Kings are very different in strength, and the Kings sweep the Suns without suspense.

In the second group of matchups, the Spurs, second in the West, face the Jazz, who are seventh in the West.

Regular season head-to-head record: Spurs 3-1.

Team strength comparison:

The Spurs are the most balanced team in the league, their 107 points per game, assists, rebounds and steals are among the top in the league, the team has superstar Duncan, coupled with the growth of Parker and Ginobili, the Spurs are very strong.

The Jazz’s second Jazz veteran Malone and Stockton’s ability has declined significantly, Stockton will basically choose to retire after the end of this season, the team’s strength has declined very obviously, every position of the team is not as good as the Spurs, and the strength of the two teams is very different.

Pre-game prediction: Spurs 4-1 Jazz.

The third group showdown, the Mavericks, third in the West, and the Trail Blazers, sixth in the West.

Regular season head-to-head record: 2-2 draw. ，

Team strength comparison:

The Mavericks and the Blazers are two teams with opposite styles, the Mavericks are good at offense and the Blazers are good at defending.

In terms of strength, the Mavericks with Finley, Nowitzki, Nash and Van Exel have strong strength, and although the Mavericks’ defense is somewhat weak, the Mavericks’ strong offensive firepower is enough to make up for their defensive deficiencies.

Although the Blazers have defensive titans such as Pippen, Wells, Lasted Wallace and Derek Anderson, it may be difficult for the Blazers to limit the Mavericks.

Pre-game prediction: Mavericks 4:2 Trail Blazers

The fourth group of the West showdown, the Timberwolves in the West and the Lakers in the fifth in the West.

This is a set of duels at the first round of the East-West Alliance.

This season’s Lakers have had some ups and downs, and at the beginning of the season, the lake’s superstar Shark O’Neal missed many games due to injury, which eventually caused the defending champion to fall to 11th in the West when the ball was low.

Although the Lakers no longer have home-court advantage in the playoffs this season, and the Timberwolves also have a super talent like Garnett. -.But the Lakers are a three-time championship team, and there are also superstars O’Neal and Kobe Bryant in the team, coupled with the Lakers’ super rich playoff experience, although the Timberwolves have a home court advantage, I am afraid that it is difficult to escape the result of elimination.

If the Timberwolves are eliminated by the Lakers in the first round this season, this is the seventh consecutive year that the Timberwolves have fallen in the first round.

Pre-game prediction: Lakers 4:2 Timberwolves.

Eastern Conference playoff first-round showdown predictions.

In the first group of matchups, the Pistons, the first in the East, face the eighth Magic team in the East with Maddie.

The regular season record was 2-1 for the Pistons, and Maddie scored 46 points in the Magic’s only win. ，

Team strength comparison:

Comparison of the two core players: Maddie of the Magic and Billups of the Pistons.

Maddie is second in the scoring list this season, just behind Li Luyao, and his individual offensive talent is the biggest battle for the Magic to win.

Although the Pistons’ Billups statistics do not look very conspicuous, Billups is a big heart player, and the more crucial the game, the calmer Billups is.

Overall comparison: The No. 1 Pistons in the East, with Billups, Hamilton, Prince and two Wallaces, undoubtedly crushed the Magic.

The Pistons are good at all positions, especially defensively, and they’ve squeezed their opponents’ average points per game to the lowest in the league this season.

Maddie will have a hard time leading the Magic through the first round.

Pregame prediction: The Pistons eliminated the Magic with 42.

In the second group of matches, the Nets second in the East face the Bucks, who are seventh in the East.

Regular season head-to-head record: 2-2 draw. ，

Team strength comparison:

Core player comparison: Kidd of the Nets vs. Payton of the Bucks’ gloves.

Kidd is known as the league’s best offensive playmaker, and Payton is known as one of the league’s best outside defense experts, and who plays better will determine the outcome of both teams.

Overall comparison: There is no doubt that the Nets, which are second in the East, are stronger.

The Nets have Kidd, Martin, and Jefferson forming a triangular attack point, and their offensive strength is bursting.

Pre-game prediction: Net 4-2 Bucks

The third group showdown, the Pacers, third in the East, and the Celtics, sixth in the East.

Regular season head-to-head record: 2-2 draw. ，

Team strength comparison:

With O’Neal Jr., Artest and veterans Reggie Miller and Tim Hardawaye, the Pacers are undoubtedly much stronger than the Celtics.

Pierce’s attempt to score under Artest’s defense is probably not an easy task.

Pre-game prediction: Pacers 4:2 Celtics.

The fourth group showdown, the 76ers in fourth place in the East and the Hornets in fifth in the East.

Regular season head-to-head record: Hornets 2-1.

There is no doubt that this is the closest group of matchups, but the 6-man team has superstar Iverson, Iverson can be said to be the soul of the 76ers, the individual offensive ability is extremely sharp, and the ability to finish the game at key moments is very strong, which is the guarantee for the 76ers to win.

This season, the Hornets roster includes Mashburn, P· J. Brang, Magreuer and Wesley, these players have a good level of ability, especially Mashburn’s increasingly solid leadership position with the Hornets, and his threat on the offensive end is also very large.

Overall, the 76ers, who have superstars, have a better chance of qualifying. ，

Pre-game prediction: 76ers 4:3 Hornets
