At the end of the regular season, the playoff teams in the East and West have been produced.

The top four teams in the East are the Bulls, Magic, Pacers and Cavaliers.

It is worth mentioning that last season's defending champion Nets only finished fifth in the East this season......

Coleman's form has plummeted, leaving Nets fans with hateful teeth.

The strength of the Nets has changed dramatically compared to last season, although the backcourt has not changed much, but the interior lineup has changed from the top of the league to the second-rate.

Coleman's strength has declined greatly, and Murraysan has been traded to Polinis, and his strength has naturally become second-rate......

Seeing the Nets from a championship-level team to a second-rate team like the current one, Nets fans are naturally distressed, and their resentment towards the Nets management is even greater.

Look at the current Kings, after Chuck Daley and Davidson joined, they were like chickens, and their records soared like rockets.

You must know that the Kings only had 32 wins last season, and this season it has directly doubled!

……

The situation in the west is much more complicated than in the east.

On the eastern side, there are many super powers, and the Bulls are the super strong team.

The Kings have a 63-win record and rank first in the West, and the second-ranked SuperSonics are actually no different from the Kings, and their number of wins this season has also reached 62.

The Spurs have 59 wins, the Jazz have 55 wins, and they are all in the top three in the East.

Although the Rockets only have 48 wins, no one dares to underestimate the Rockets' strength, after all, they were a Finals-level team last season.

……

Kings, SuperSonics, Spurs, Jazz, Lakers, Rockets, Trail Blazers, Suns, these are the eight teams in the West that have earned a playoff spot.

Even the eighth-ranked Suns are actually not to be underestimated.

The combination of Barkley and Kevin Johnson inside and outside is quite good, and with the new entry to the team this year, Michael Finley, the strength is by no means the kind of team that cannot be put on the table.

The Suns actually had quite good luck in the '95 draft, picking Finley, an outside rookie known as the poor Jordan's Jordan, with the 21st pick, and he averaged 15 points per game in his rookie season, which was quite an outstanding rookie in the '95 draft.

Of course, Finley's poor version of Jordan is definitely not enough to see compared to Battle, who is nicknamed the No. 4 Jordan in the same class.

In addition to these three main players, the Suns also have a large number of well-known veteran players on the bench.

For example, former All-Star interior Danny Manning, Ironman AC Green, Hot Stick Williams......

If you really want to talk about the depth of the bench, the Suns are definitely better than the Kings.

The Kings will face the Suns in the first round of the playoffs, and if they take out the Suns, they will face either the Jazz or the Lakers.

If nothing else, the Jazz are more likely to be more likely.

If they can take out the Jazz and continue to advance, no one can say for sure who the Kings will face in the West.

SuperSonics, Spurs, Rockets and Trail Blazers, who can advance to the Western Conference finals, except for the Trail Blazers, the chances of the other three teams advancing to the Western Conference finals, at least in the current situation, are almost on the same level.

On April 16, at the Sleep Train Arena, Davidson was in the locker room to do a pre-game mobilization for the players.

"We've had a 3-1 record against the Suns this season, guys, you should know what that means." Davidson smiled at the king's generals.

"This means that the Suns are definitely not our opponents, and now we need to think about not how to win the Suns, but how to win the Suns more easily!"

Davidson is quite confident that the Kings will win against the Suns.

"Coach, don't worry, our Kings are completely the nemesis of the Suns, and there are buses to clean up Barkley, let alone win them, it is not difficult to sweep them." Richmond said with a smile.

Davidson nodded, if the Suns' interior combination is not unexpected, it should be Barkley with hot stick Williams, these two dwarfs will definitely not be the opponent of the Muba combination.

As for the outside, Richmond, Walter and Snow, although they are not the opponents of the Bulls, have no problem playing against the Suns.

……

"Wilson, do you want to discuss?" Barkley was in the pre-game warm-up and gathered next to Davidson.

Davidson looked at Barkley with a smile, "What to discuss?" ”

"Why don't I take the Suns to deliberately lose to you, and then you bring Battle and Muresan to our Suns next season?" Barkley said with a smile.

"Don't be in a hurry to refuse, the boss is willing to give you a guaranteed annual salary of three million US dollars, and the contract between Muresan and Battle, we will definitely show the greatest sincerity, how about it?"

Barkley lowered his voice and told Davidson a rather tempting price.

Davidson was happy, three million annual salary?

Although Davidson's current annual salary is only a measly $1.2 million, he has only signed this contract for one year......

At the beginning, Petrie probably also kept his back, so he did not sign a long-term contract with Davidson.

At the end of this season, Davidson will re-sign his contract with the Kings, will the Kings dare to suppress Davidson's price? Definitely don't dare.

Because Murraysan is a full free agent, he can run with Davidson at any time.

As for Battle, after this season, the Kings will give up the team option, perhaps because Davidson is gone, and Battle will follow suit.

If the two of Muba run away, the Kings' team will be beaten back to their original shape immediately.

So, whether the Kings like it or not, they have to give Davidson a coaching contract that will satisfy him.

"Charles, do you think our king needs you to release water?" Davidson said with a light smile.

Barkley couldn't say anything when he asked this directly, even if Barkley was very confident, he knew very well that the Suns were definitely not the opponent of the Kings at the moment.

If there was no Battle, Barkley would not look down on the king at all, and even if there was a Muressan, he would have the confidence to kill the king easily.

But the crux of the matter now is Battle, the reason why the Kings are the nemesis of the Suns is that Battle is Barkley's nemesis.

Although Barkley has the nickname of Flying Pig, he is a real floor flow play, and it can even be said that he is the most typical representative of floor flow.

Battle couldn't defend the players who were flying away because of his lack of speed, but he was pretty good at defending Barkley.

With a body of divine power plus a huge tonnage, and a resident No. 4 position, he is completely Barkley's nemesis!

(Again, Barkley is a floor stream, I said in my first book that Buckley is a floor stream, and it's still spraying, is it really that hard to get Barkley under Baidu?) Or maybe these people are watching Ross Barkley's game highlights, so they think Barkley is a flyer? ）
