The most exciting play-off in history was born. The Nuggets decided to lose to the Trail Blazers and sent the Lakers into the playoffs.

The teams that directly enter the playoffs in the West 1-6 are: Jazz, Suns, Nuggets, Clippers, Mavericks, and Trail Blazers;

7-10 teams that play the playoffs are: Lakers, Warriors, Grizzlies, and Spurs;

The teams that directly enter the playoffs in the East 1-6 are: 76ers, Nets, Bucks, Knicks, Hawks, and Heats;

7-10 teams that play the playoffs are: Celtics, Wizards, Pacers, and Hornets.

The Lakers failed to enter the top six and needed to play the playoffs, so it's not a blame for the Nuggets. They are all competitors, and the Nuggets have no obligation to help the Lakers snipe the Trail Blazers. Moreover, the Trail Blazers are going to work hard. Even if the Nuggets take out 100%, they may not be able to beat the Trail Blazers. The Lakers can only blame themselves for not playing well in front. If the Warriors lead in the first game with a big score, if they are more stable against the Kings and the Raptors, will the result be different?

But there are not so many ifs. What is placed in front of the Lakers is the playoffs. If the Lakers want to get a ticket to the playoffs, they need to pass the playoff test.

htmlOn May 20, the Lakers will face the Warriors' challenge at home. Three matches this season, the Lakers won 2 wins and 1 lost. Winning two games was a big win, and the losing game was overturned by a big score. But the two teams are now very different from the two teams in the previous three encounters.

Lakers strengthened Zhuang Shen and McLemore, and the role players were trained during the injury of James and Mei. The Warriors have no Wiseman, and they are united. Both teams have been in good shape recently, with the Lakers winning 5 consecutive games and the Warriors winning 6 consecutive games. The Lakers won five consecutive games because Thomas got back to form and James finally made a comeback. Even though I lost some games that shouldn't have lost before, with the Lakers' strength, I wouldn't have played in the playoffs. Than Brow and James suffered injuries one after another, causing the Lakers to fall from second in the West to seventh in the West. The two returned and regained their form, so the Lakers naturally returned to the track of victory.

Warriors have experienced a season of ups and downs. A month ago, the Warriors looked hopeless. Wiseman's injury changed everything. According to statistics, since Wiseman's meniscus tear season reimbursement, the Warriors have achieved 15 wins and 5 losses in 20 games. In these 20 games, the Warriors ranked first in the league in defensive efficiency during the same period, and their offensive efficiency also entered the top ten in the league.

Curry has performed a phenomenal performance. Everyone knows that when you fight the Warriors, you have to pinch Curry's point. As long as Curry is restricted, you will win half of the game. However, Curry, under such an environment, averaged 32 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.2 steals per game, shooting percentage of 48%, three-point shooting percentage of 42%, and making 5.3 three-pointers per game. Putting aside the team rankings, Curry is definitely worthy of this season's MVP in terms of personal performance.

No bragging or black, the Lakers play against the Grizzlies or Spurs, and they are basically sure to win. But the probability of accidents happening when fighting the Warriors is not small. Su Qun, a famous domestic basketball commentator, looked forward to this showdown and said that the Lakers' chances of winning are between 60% and 70%. If they play in a series, the Lakers will win 100%. Yes, as Teacher Su Qun said, the winning or losing of the playoffs is determined in one game, increasing the probability of the Warriors being upset by the Lakers.

can be predicted that the Lakers are still playing against the Warriors, and the key defense target is Curry. In dealing with Curry, the Lakers will carry out a wheel battle. When defending, Schroeder, Caruso or Pope will inevitably stick to Curry throughout the whole process. If everyone sees Curry get the ball in the backcourt and the Lakers start to stick, that's normal. Once Curry dribbles through half the game, double-teams are essential. James is likely to be arranged to defend and pursue his dreams - Green, in fact, he is bullying Green and not accurate in three-pointers, so that James can help defend and double-team the gap left by Curry's teammates.

Compared to Curry's explosion, the key to the Warriors' winning is actually Curry's subsequent processing of the ball after he took the ball. If Green can make an open three-pointer, or the Warriors are very efficient in handling 4-on-3, the game may be very anxious.On the contrary, if the Lakers push a few counterattacks, the game will likely lose its suspense early.

The Lakers have the best defense in the league, which is actually the most suitable single-core team like the Warriors. If the Warriors want to win, they need all the players to perform at a high level. This is not easy to do, but one game determines the outcome and anything can happen. If the Warriors just happened to catch up with the explosion of character, the Lakers would be in trouble. But even if you lose, the Lakers still have another chance, which is the benefit of being the seventh in the West.
