西部进季后赛的8支球队分别是：1、圣安东尼奥马刺队、2、洛杉矶湖人队、3、达拉斯小牛队、4、俄克拉荷马雷霆队、5、丹佛掘金队、6、波特兰开拓者队、7、新奥尔良黄蜂队、8、孟菲斯灰熊队。

According to the rules of the playoffs, the specific matches in the first round of the playoffs are: San Antonio Spurs VS Memphis Grizzlies, Los Angeles Lakers VS New Orleans Hornets, Dallas Mavericks VS Portland Trail Blazers, Oklahoma City Thunder Team VS Denver Nuggets.

For the Mavericks, entering the playoffs in the upper half will gain home court advantage in the first round.In the playoffs, the veteran's experience advantage is reflected.Different from the regular season's continuous away games, exhausted boats and cars, plus back-to-back and other tough schedules, the playoffs are all series games, there is no back-to-back, and before the finals, it is all duels between opponents in the same district, so it is also There will be no adverse effects of travel and fatigue.

The Mavericks have many veterans and rich experience, and they are a very difficult team to deal with in the playoffs.For them, the last thing they want to encounter in the first round is the Memphis Grizzlies with "black and white bears".In the playoffs, the offensive and defensive rhythms will not be as fast as in the regular season, and everyone will play more cautiously. Teams with an inside advantage will be very difficult to deal with.Although the Grizzlies are only ranked 8th, their internal strength is one of the best among several teams in the Western Conference playoffs. Teams don't want to touch them.

No championship team is willing to consume too much in the first round, which is extremely detrimental to the subsequent games, and the Mavericks are naturally the same.Their opponent is the Portland Trail Blazers, which is a more ideal opponent.The 4 games between the two teams in the regular season were under the protection of their respective home courts, and the score was 2:2.Therefore, it is difficult to use the results of the regular season as a reference.However, from the perspective of the outside world, the Mavericks, which have home court advantage and many outstanding veterans, have a much better chance of winning.Whether it is the odds offered by the gaming company or the pre-match predictions of the major mainstream media, they all tend to end the battle within 6 games for the Mavericks.

For Xiong, it is a very good and lucky experience to be able to enter the playoffs consecutively after last season. You must know that some players have been in the league for several seasons and can't even see the playoffs.Moreover, according to the lineup of the Mavericks this season, it is very likely to break through the first round and even go further.Of course, he is also very confident to use his ability to help the team, and work hard with the team to the end.

The playoffs are different from the regular season. Because it is a series, the matchup between the two teams' lineups is extremely important.In this case, even if some teams are weaker in overall strength, they have a clear advantage in a certain position or can just restrain the main players of the opponent. .

The lineup of the Mavericks can be big or small. There are excellent players in every position. The lineup as a whole has no major weaknesses. Even the lineup led by Terry and Peja on the bench has good offensive strength. .At the center position, Tyson Chandler has a high probability of being the starting center in the first round of the playoffs.In the regular season, he did a very good job of protecting the penalty area, defending and rebounding, allowing Nowitzki to devote his energy to the offense with confidence and boldness.With him, the team's inside defense will be guaranteed. He is also the second youngest player in the starting lineup after Ying Xiong at the age of less than 30.As a backup center, the hard-working Heywood will provide sufficient help for the team's interior defense.

As a power forward, Dirk Nowitzki, as the leader of the team, will be the only starting power forward and will take on the heavy responsibility of the team's offensive core.His state even determines how far the team can go in the end.The backup power forward may be Marion, and his playing time will be adjusted by then.

As for the small forward position, since Marion started in the second half of the regular season, not only the team's record has risen across the board, but his own statistics are also very good. It is very likely that he will become the starting small forward in the first round of the playoffs .The backup small forward is Peja Stojakovic, a former top shooter in the league and now a young man.Since joining the Mavericks, Peja has proved that he still has good strength and is the team's best mid-season signing.Of course, in some games, Corey Brewer may also have a certain possibility of playing.

At the position of shooting guard, Ying Xiong, who has performed well this season, has the highest possibility of starting.As his third NBA season, he is at the 3nd position, with efficient offense, excellent defense, and stable performance. He is an iron gate for the team's perimeter defense.Of course, Jason Terry may also start, it depends on how the head coach arranges at that time.If Ying Xiong starts, Terry is the sixth player, otherwise, Terry starts and Ying Xiong is the sixth player.

At the position of the point guard, the historical guard Jason Kidd is naturally the candidate to do his part.The little Barea, who is the substitute, is also capable, and there is no suspense in this position.

Ying Xiong believes in his strength, and also believes that he can play in the playoffs as a starter.

The difference between the playoffs and the regular season is that almost every team participating in the playoffs will shorten the rotation.Teams with 10 or even 11 or 12 rotations in the regular season will be shortened to 9 or 10 rotations in the playoffs, and some teams will even be reduced to 7 or 8 rotations.As long as the game is not fumbled, few teams will use more than 10 rotations.There is no other reason, but the schedule and importance are different.There are no back-to-back playoffs, no consecutive road trips, and a loss will end the season, so the players will generally not hold back any more. In order to advance, they must go all out.In this way, the playing time of the main players, especially the All-Star players, will definitely increase compared with the regular season.In this way, there will be much less time left for rotation players.In order to have a certain amount of playing time to maintain the state, most teams' approach is to shorten the rotation.In this way, those teams that rely on a large number of players and a deep bench to play a good record in the regular season will not take advantage of it in the playoffs, but this advantage will become infinitely smaller.This is why the playoffs look at superstars. No matter how many players you have on the team, there are only 5 players on the field. In this case, the strength level of all-stars and even superstars will affect the entire series. trend.
