On April 10, 2001, the Clippers returned to Los Angeles, where they ended their final regular season game yesterday and returned to Los Angeles for a few days after a short break to begin their quest for the championship as the No. 1 team in the West against the Minnesota Timberwolves, who finished eighth in the West.

In the last 8 regular season games in April, the Clippers won 8 in a row, did not give the San Antonio Spurs a chance to overtake, a total of 82 regular season games, achieved a 60-22 record, ranked first in the league, since talking about the NBA, Charles Barkley's conspiracy theories spread all over the United States, the media in Los Angeles and the media in San Antonio started a media war, and finally the Los Angeles media won without suspense, of course, this has a lot to do with the fact that Los Angeles itself is the entertainment capital, The media here has more influence, but the assists from all the media in Georgia also contributed a lot to the victory.

Of course, after that, Coach Bill Fitch was even more unscrupulous in the rotation of players in the game, even if he received a ticket from the league for this, he did not make any changes, and the players of the Clippers were also very competitive, especially the bench players, who showed unprecedented fighting spirit and helped the team win all the next few games, making all the doubts seem very weak.

The San Antonio Spurs also started a large-scale rotation in the next few games, and they didn't stumble to the end, but they still retained the second position in the West, of course, this is related to the Los Angeles Lakers, and they didn't catch up, Coach Phil Jackson of the Los Angeles Lakers seems to be very satisfied with the third position in the West, and in the back game, he also gave the bench players a lot of playing time, began to train the team, and prepared for the playoffs, maybe in the eyes of the strong defending champions, there is no difference between second and third, They don't care about home advantage anymore.

The 2000-2001 regular season ended with a short offseason. West: Los Angeles Clippers vs. Portland Trail Blazers, San Antonio Spurs vs. Phoenix Suns, Los Angeles Lakers vs. Utah Jazz, Saramento Kings vs. Dallas Mavericks. East: Philadelphia 76ers vs. Indiana Pacers, Milwaukee Bucks vs. Orlando Magic, Miami Heat vs. Charlotte Hornets, New York Knicks vs. Toronto Raptors.

According to the rankings, the playoff matchups also came into play, the West: the Clippers, ranked first in the West, and the Portland Trail Blazers, ranked eighth in the West, are considered to be the most suspenseless round of games, the Portland Trail Blazers have been declining very fast this season, and only stepped on the Minnesota Timberwolves at the last moment, squeezing into the playoff sequence, the Portland Trail Blazers played against the Clippers 4 times in the regular season this season, but all ended in defeat, the Portland Trail Blazers' lineup aging flaw, It's already very obvious, and the Clippers, who have formed the twin towers, hurt the Portland Trail Blazers very much on the inside, and Sabonis is really old.

The second-ranked San Antonio Spurs in the West met the Phoenix Suns in the seventh place in the West in the first round, and the suspense of this round of the game is not big, although the Phoenix Suns are in the seventh position in the West in terms of record, beating the old powerhouse Portland Trail Blazers, ranking seventh in the West, but the team's number one star Anfernee Hardaway is absent due to injury, which makes them much weaker in competitiveness, and although the San Antonio Spurs lineup is also aging, they still have a healthy Tim Duncan in the team this season.

The third-ranked Los Angeles Lakers vs. the sixth-ranked Utah Jazz, this will be a wonderful series, although everyone thinks that the Los Angeles Lakers will win in the end, but it is undeniable that the process will be exciting, Shaq O'Neal's most unsuitable tactic is the blocking tactics, and the Utah Jazz's blocking is the best in the league, although Stockton and Karl Malone are also old, but don't underestimate their championship heart.

The final pair of opponents in the West are the fourth-ranked Saramento Kings and the fifth-ranked Dallas Mavericks, this is the only series in the West that is seen as a close match, the difference between the two teams' regular season records is one game, and the two teams also have the problem of attacking and defending, Princeton vs small-ball tactics, tactician Adelman vs Mad Scientist Nelson, and there is no doubt that this will be the most attractive series for spectators, not only because they are evenly matched, but also because of their very ornamental style of play.

Eastern Side: The Philadelphia 76 team, ranked first in the East, played against the Indiana Pacers, who ranked eighth in the East last season, the Indiana Pacers were the first team in the East last season, they not only ranked first in the East in the regular season, but also reached the final Finals, but with the loss of the Finals, they seem to have lost the key to winning this season, and they did not perform well in the regular season, while the Philadelphia 76ers have been rampant in the East this season with the rise of Allen Iverson.

The second-ranked Milwaukee Bucks in the East met the Orlando Magic, ranked seventh in the East, in the first round, the Milwaukee Bucks have achieved a good record this season under the leadership of head coach George Carr, and the three musketeers also used accurate three-pointers to bring a great breakthrough to the team, and it is not surprising that the Orlando Magic will enter the playoffs, at the beginning of the season they were the most beautiful team in the league, although they failed in the pursuit of Tim Duncan, but the arrival of Maddy and Grant Hill brought hope here, It's just a pity that Grant Hill is injured again, leaving Maddie alone to support the team, and it will not be easy for them to get past the first round of the playoffs.

The Miami Heat, ranked third in the East, vs the sixth-ranked Charlotte Hornets, the Miami Heat had a bad time this season, the team's boss Alonzo Mourning was diagnosed with kidney disease and left the game early, which hit the team hard, and they were able to appear in the third place in the East, which surprised many people, the Charlotte Hornets are an old powerhouse in the East, and have always been frequent visitors to the playoffs, and this round of games is also known as a series that is most likely to cause an upset.

The fourth in the East New York Knicks played against the Toronto Raptors in the fifth in the East in the first round, this season the gorilla Patrick Ewing left the New York Knicks who dedicated all his youth to it, Alan Houston became the boss of the team, the New York Knicks as one of the league's giant teams, are favored by everyone, even if their opponent in the first round, the Toronto Raptors, is actually not worse than them in terms of strength, Vince Carter is also a hot star in the league, but everyone is more willing to believe in the heritage of the giants.
