Heading into the final month of the regular season, the Miami Heat have a record of 47 wins and 27 losses, and they are already well placed to secure a playoff spot. After the disbandment of the 'Big Three', the Heat once again broke into the playoffs on a high-profile basis, a record that is unimaginable to anyone, especially the media reporters who have been scathing at the beginning of the season and sarcastic that the Miamins will have a terrible record this year. But the media never remembers what they said before, and they now only care about the tenacity of the Heat's veterans, the talent of young players such as Addison, and the management of the team's uniform team......

In fact, the team's current record is even that of Spoelstra and Pat. Riley didn't expect that their confirmation of Addison would bring a change to the Heat, but at the time they were more focused on the potential of the Chinese-American point guard and the future of the team. Who would have thought that Addison, who joined the team, played an amazing performance in his first season, especially the ability to control the organization of the court is comparable to those old point guards who have been in the league for more than ten years, and almost seamlessly integrated into the team system, leading the Heat to play a hearty counterattack, fast break and blocking offense.

Even more surprising is the impact Addison has brought to the Miami Heat, this rookie with no language skills, with his own strength, high-profile style of play and highly topical yellow skin, has now made the Heat one of the most talked-about teams in the league, and his influence has not diminished at all compared to the Big Three period!

Even though Addison's Heat team is still a little inconsistent, their record says a lot, and the 47-27 Heat team is still stable in the third place in the East, moving forward for the camp step by step.

The Boston Celtics are currently in eighth place in the East, with a 33-41 record, and they will face the Brooklyn Nets, who are ninth in the East, on April 1, with a 32-42 record.

The Milwater Bucks and Washington Wizards are seventh and sixth in the East, respectively, with the Bucks just two wins ahead of the Celtics and could be overtaken by the Green at any moment.

The Washington Wizards, who are in sixth place in the East, are a predominantly youngster-oriented capital team that has been inconsistent since the All-Star break, losing many games that should not have been lost. With a 41-33 record, they are three games away from the Toronto Raptors at 44-30, and it will be difficult to reach the top four in the East by the end of the regular season.

The current top spot in the East is naturally the Atlanta Hawks, who have been in extremely hot form this season. Budenholzer's team is sitting at the top of the Eastern Conference with a 56-19 record, and the rest of the Eastern Conference teams have no chance of overtaking it.

But the most surprising thing is the Cleveland Cavaliers, a team that has been hovering in the fifth or sixth place in the East at the beginning of the season, and even before the All-Star break, the team that was in the fifth place in the East before the All-Star Weekend has been surging all the way, and now has a 48-27 record ahead of several opponents to rank second in the East!

In the February and March schedules, the Cavaliers had a heinous win rate, with LBJ and Kyrie. Owen's play is even more like a divine help, and he can often explode to give his opponent a painful blow. This terrible performance made the media lament LeBron. James' strong individual ability and his ability to lead the team.

But Addison wasn't surprised by the situation, and he knew from his first game against the Cavaliers that as long as the core players can handle the distribution of the ball and the tacit understanding, then the team can burst into quite terrifying energy. And now the two cores of the Cavaliers have completed the distribution of the ball, with excellent meat shields on the inside and a large number of shooters on the outside...... Don't be surprised for LeBron. James and Carey. Owen, this configuration is enough and the most suitable for them to play their individual abilities.

If the Cavaliers, whose roster has been upgraded and the core is becoming more and more cooperative, can't play an excellent record, then Addison will have to doubt his IQ.

In short, the competition for the Eastern Conference playoff teams for the rankings is fierce and chaotic, with the teams in the first half and the second half of the tournament winning and losing very little. The Chicago Bulls, who are in fourth place, are just two wins away from the Heat and are eyeing the third place in the East.

***

In the west, the competition for places is as close as the difference in wins as in the east. For example, the Dallas Mavericks, who are ranked 7th in the West, have a 45-29 record, which would rank 4th in the East......

The current leaders in the West are naturally the Golden State Warriors, who have a record of 61-13 that no other team can hope for, and have been sweeping since the beginning of the season. The Warriors are also the favourites to win the title this season, and the odds of victory have already surpassed those of the Cleveland Cavaliers and defending champion San Antonio Spurs.

When it comes to the San Antonio Spurs, the defending champion is now 48-26 and can only rank sixth in the West, which has to be embarrassing. But in fact, such a record can be put in the East, and the Cavaliers can be ranked second, which is the more interesting talk point.

Although the situation of the alliance being strong in the west and weak in the east has been weakened in recent years, the distance has been completely smoothed out, and I am afraid it will take a long time......

As the regular season draws to a close, the Heat's uniform team is also starting to think about their opponents in the playoffs, and even more so to plan for the rest of the next few regular season games. Especially for a team with many veterans like the Heat, the rotation is a must and without further ado.

Judging by the team's current progress, they should be able to retain home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs, and the key will depend on who the opponent is. Anyway, they can't match the theoretical welfare team of eighth place in the East, which is 100% the opponent of the Atlanta Hawks in the first round of the playoffs.

The Heat's opponents are none other than the Milwater Bucks, the Washington Wizards or the Toronto Raptors.

The first thing Spoelstra doesn't want to play against is the Washington Wizards, although the capital team has a lot of young people, but they have a starting lineup in addition to Bradley. Bill and John. Outside of Wall, Marsin. Gortat, Hilario and Paul. Pierce is a veteran with a lot of playoff experience. What's more, the backcourt combination of Wall + Beal is very lethal, and this team enters the playoffs, and Spoelstra dares to conclude that they are fighting twice as much as they were in the regular season, or more...... Therefore, it is better not to meet such a team in the first round, and try to avoid it if it can be avoided.

As for the Toronto Raptors, although this team looks a little easier to deal with than the Wizards, their player configuration is really good. Demar. DeRozan and Kyle. Lowry's backcourt combination aside, Jonas Brown. Valanciunas, Amir. Johnson and Terrance. Rose is a very good young player. And the Raptors are an NBA team that is unanimously supported by the whole of Canada, and Spoelstra, the home of the Aviation Center arena, doesn't really want to face it in the first round.

In comparison, the Milwaukee Bucks are much easier to deal with. Despite the team's surprisingly talented, the Bucks' players are too young after all, and the oldest of several core players is actually Mike, who was born in 1991. Carter. Williams. These core players are all making the playoffs for the first time, even with the shrewd Jason. Guided by Kidd, Spoelstra is also confident that he will be able to finish off this opponent with relative ease.

However, confidence is confidence, and the final pattern of the alliance will naturally not proceed according to the steps that the uniform team hopes, and no one can accurately predict what it will turn out in the end.

All the Heat can do now is maintain as consistent form as possible and push the team to climb the rankings and move up to second place in the East. Because according to the current situation, it is no surprise that the second place in the East will face the Milwaukee Bucks, which is an opportunity that Spoelstra wants very much.

But at the same time, the uniform team should also arrange the team's rotation plan, so that the team's veterans can accumulate enough mental and physical strength before the playoffs. Once the playoffs come, the head coach no longer has any reservations about the use of players.

For Addison, he has more to face, and his psychotherapy has recently reached a critical moment.

"We've been talking to each other like this for over two months, Addison." His psychiatrist Lionel. Buxon put away the pictures he had been looking at and describing his feelings for the past two months, "Honestly, you're one of the strangest clients I've ever received......

"There is a very paranoid side to your personality in some reactions, but other reactions prove to me that you are a very easy-going, even easy-going person in life." Buxon frowned as he flipped through his observations, "It's not sarcasm, Eddie, but there's a lot of contradiction in your personality...... I think it's this contradictory nature that will cause your aphasia to never change. You need a blast point, a blast point that is enough for you to break through these contradictions, a burst point that is enough for you to express honestly to me. ”

The psychiatrist pulled his chair forward and whispered to the dazed Chinese: "As a bystander, I can probably have a vague guess about the cause of your aphasia...... The question is, Addison, are you willing to open all occlusion to your psychiatrist, give up all rejection and evasion...... Would you like to tell me in detail what you went through at that time? ”
