NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 366 Other Games
The Suns swept the Mavericks 4:0. Many people paid attention to it, but everyone didn't find it strange.

The Mavericks stumbled into the playoffs this season, and there is no way out when they meet the Suns. Now it is estimated that the Mavericks boss Cuban is already interviewing a new head coach.

With superstars, they must work hard to hit the championship. They have failed too much this season.

In other games in the West, the Hornets defeated the Sonics 4:2.

The deal between the Supersonics and the Suns allowed them to quickly return to the ranks of the playoffs, but they were eliminated in the first round, which still made them realize the reality, and they were almost not good at the star level in the playoffs.

On the Hornets' side, Paul completely suppressed Barbosa, and he already has the taste of a superstar.

The Sonics also understand the importance of organizers. Barbosa was okay in the regular season, but his weaknesses were completely exposed in the playoffs.

As an All-Star, Marion's offensive power is a bit too low, and the Supersonics have the idea of ​​​​trading him away.

Iguodala is comprehensive and young, but his offensive power with the ball is too poor at critical moments in the playoffs, Martin is poor in confrontation and unstable, and Varejao is too well-behaved.

But there are only so many superstars, and the few young players they got still have potential, and if the price is right, they will definitely stay.

If the lineup is upgraded again, the Supersonic may not be able to go further.

After all, compared with Ray Allen's shooting team, the current Sonics also have comprehensive capabilities. If they hadn't suffered some injuries this season, their regular season record should be even better.

The players who came out of the sun are still fine, but they can't play their full strength without Russell.

Not to mention Paul on the Hornets side, the progress is visible to the naked eye, and they can already control the field in the playoffs. With the stable performance of West, Peja who is a threat from outside the three-point line, and Chandler who can protect the inside, they really Not weak either.

In fact, the current Hornets are a bit like a low-end version of the Suns. If the competition is not so fierce, they may be able to reach the Western Conference Finals directly, but this season is a bit hanging.
Paul played well, but when he encountered a stronger opponent, he would find that there was still a little gap between himself and the superstar.

In the game between the Lakers and the Jazz, there is only one sentence, Kobe is too strong.

The Jazz are actually very good this season. Deron, like Paul, has completely exploded in the playoffs, which is better than their performance in the regular season.

That's no surprise, both are All-Star guards in the making.

As for the Jazz's other starters, Boozer, Okur, Kirilenko and Brewer are not bad. Unfortunately, their record is a little worse and they met the Lakers.

As long as they advance one more in the regular season, it will be easier to play against the Spurs.

The Jazz are actually not afraid to play against the Spurs, or they are the same as the two teams, they are afraid of an unreasonable superstar like Kobe.

After the Lakers got Gasol, Kobe was liberated.

Both Gasol and Odom are good at their hands, and Gasol also has the ability to finish in the paint, which can smoothly give Kobe a lot of singles opportunities. Kobe just needs to finish with all his strength, and he doesn't need to worry about other things like before. .

And the Jazz is only short of a little offense. There is no way, the Jazz is still a bit civilian.

Now in the West, without superstars, it is really difficult to move an inch.

Like the Mavericks, Dirk Nowitzki is still hated with the peak. It can only be said that the competition in the West is really strong.

In the last group in the West, the Spurs easily defeated the Rockets 4:1.

The Rockets are actually the weakest of the eight teams in the Western Conference playoffs because Dayao was injured and unable to play.

If their record is not so high, other teams still have hope to change their fate, but they had a good record before, occupying the fifth place in the Western Conference, which blocked the hopes of the teams behind, and they could not create miracles .

The top four in the Western Conference this season can be said to be very strong.

Of course, the Spurs are not as strong as they used to be, they mainly rely on GDP and experience.

In terms of role players, they are actually the worst, and the other teams may have a chance when they meet.

But they were lucky and encountered the weakest rocket.

The Rockets now only have McGrady. This buddy is picturesque in all kinds of shots, and his shooting percentage is low. The only way for the Rockets to win a game is to rely on defense.

For McGrady, in fact, he needs to be equipped with a good organizer, or a tactic that is more suitable for him, and give him the range that only needs to be finished like Kobe, otherwise he will definitely not be able to lead the team to win.

An All-Star like him who can't lead the team to win, can still get a lot of best teams, which only shows that many honor selections in the league are not professional at all, just like Camby's best defensive team, they are all random reviews.

The results of the competitions in the east have also come out one after another.

It stands to reason that the gap in the East is much wider, but the series doesn't feel like that.

The game between the Celtics and the 76ers turned out to be six games.

In fact, this is not bad. Russell remembers that the Celtics originally had a tiebreaker in the first round in history.

Maybe they were under a lot of pressure and didn't perform well just entering the playoffs.

However, although they originally won the championship in history, every round was full of bumps and bumps.

Russell felt that it was the head coach Rivers who couldn't do it. He relied on the Big Three to win a championship. Garnett, Pierce and others were also strong enough to not be killed by Rivers.

To be honest, they gave the young Rondo too many opportunities.

Of course, Rondo was trained in this way.

Russell observed that the current Celtics may be slightly stronger. Unlike Ray Allen, Joe Johnson's strength has begun to decline, and Joe Johnson is still on the rise.

But the real combat effectiveness depends on the arrangement of the head coach. After all, Joe Johnson needs to hold the ball a little more.

For the 76ers, there is actually nothing to say, it's all about the Celtics.

The 76ers didn't even have half of the record in the regular season, and they were able to enter the playoffs entirely because of the lack of strong teams in the East.

Their overall performance in this round of playoffs was not very good, but they defended well, which is the main reason why they fought for two games.

The game between the Pistons and the Eagles also decided the outcome in six games. Nash failed to break through the first round.

Nash's physical fitness has been declining now, but fortunately, the Hawks' young players have grown.

It's a pity that their previous record was not bad, and there were no talented players among the newly selected players, so if they want to go further, they must consider trading.

Because of the contract renewal of young players, the Eagles will definitely have some movement in the summer.

The Pistons have also seen their current weakness. Even if the regular season record is not bad, it cannot cover the reality that their internal strength is getting worse.

Rasheed Wallace's strength has been declining, and it is difficult for them to go far just relying on Billups and Hamilton.

As Billups gets older, the East will change beyond recognition.
