The regular season has all ended, and the teams that will enter the playoffs are actively preparing for the playoffs. At present, the topic that fans and the media are most concerned about is: who can win the championship this season! The US media predicts that the biggest favorites to win this season are the Lakers and the Nets!
The Lakers have gone through untold hardships to reach the playoffs. You must know that the Lakers at the beginning of the season were ranked in the top two positions in the Western Conference. James’s injury problem caused the team to fall to the top six in the Western Conference. Schroder was quarantined for two weeks due to the new crown, and the Lakers fell directly into the playoffs. If it weren't for the Hu Yong war, Lao Zhan's big heart and difficult long shot, the Lakers would really play another round in the playoffs. Fortunately, winning the Warriors and entering the playoffs, the next playoffs is the real start of the Lakers. The Lakers have had a really tough time in the regular season this season.
But I have experienced all the ups and downs, sour: James and Nongmei's injuries during the season have always plagued the Lakers' progress; sweet: The Lakers management is constantly operating, introducing Schroder and Zhuang Shen, one inside and one outside Escort for the doubles; bitter: The Lakers missed too many games due to injuries this season, which caused the team’s record to plummet, and it was difficult to enter the playoffs after going through the play-offs; spicy: The Lakers who lacked Lao Zhan and thick eyebrows really It's a mess, Kuzma has no ability to lead the team, Zhuang Shen has poor coping ability, and the shooter Pop can't open the situation. The Lakers without the Doubles have no fighting power at all.
On the other hand, on the Nets’ side, at the beginning of the season, Boss Cai threw $114 million to Irving ($33.33 million) Durant ($40.1 million) Harden ($41.25 million) the league’s three superstars The scorers form the big three of the all-powerful alliance. A strong impact on the championship.From the current point of view, the Nets ranks second in the Eastern Conference. Although Durant and Harden were injured during the season, the team's record has not declined because of this. Although Irving's ability to lead the team is not as good as that of Harden Durant, his personal ability is strong. You can also lead the team to win. What's more, in a game, the Big Three can win the game with only 39 points. It is conceivable that if the Big Three all score 39 points, then basically no one else has anything to do. Jokes aside, the point is that the Nets are simply too strong on paper. In addition to being a bit poor on defense, I can't pick out any faults!
For the two favorites, the Lakers and the Nets, who can win the championship. The US media gave the answer: "The Lakers are stronger against the Nets, and the Nets are stronger and have a bigger chance of winning." The biggest advantage of the Lakers is James. James has a strong personal offensive ability and explosive physical fitness, but age is a major flaw for James. The Nets side can be compared with James Durant, Durant has a lot of scoring methods, can shoot three points, " death " is not called for nothing. In addition to Durant, the Nets also have two major scorers, Harden and Irving. And the Lakers have no one who can compete with these two! The second giant of the Lakers, Nongmei, is in an extremely unstable state. The Nets can completely resist the attack of Nongmei! Therefore, in terms of superstars, the combination of Lakers James and thick eyebrows is slightly inferior to the Big Three of the Nets! The Nets have a slightly better chance of winning than the Lakers!
Commentator Shannon Sharpe looked ahead to the East and West this season on "Undisputed", giving his opinion "I think since the Nets got Harden, it's going to be hard for other teams to beat them. because even if one person is not doing well, you have to worry about the other two."
The Nets and the Lakers are already gearing up for the next playoffs. If these two teams break through from their respective half areas, they can successfully reach the finals. I believe James, , thick eyebrows , Zhuang Shen, ha Deng, Irving, Durant, including the first-time champion Griffin and Jordan and others, their direct confrontation will ignite the ratings of the NBA, which is what everyone wants to see. The Lakers and the Nets, as the two favorites to win this season, have successfully entered the playoffs in the regular season. Who can win the championship this season? Is the defending champion Lakers continue to be crowned? Or did the Nets three giants succeed in reaching the top? We will wait and see!
