Sacramento.

"The final ranking of this season is still fixed on the situation we predicted before the start of the season!"

The live game has not yet started, and the players on both sides are warming up, and the commentator's sentence is actually a bit of a boast in it.

Because in any case, no matter how experienced the commentator is, it is impossible to predict the real ranking of the West this season.

Before the start of the season, the Sacramento Kings, as the team that hit the 50-win mark last season, although they are widely favored to enter the playoffs, but the first-round home-court advantage?

Inexistent.

The reason is simple: the West has been terrible these seasons.

The Spurs are old and strong, although the DP is old, Parker is in good shape, and the new generation of small forward Kawhi Leonard has grown extremely quickly, and he already has the ability of a second-tier star, which can be said to be another big gain for the Spurs in the draft.

From this point, it is not difficult to see how strong the entire management team, whether it is an old drunkard or the Spurs, in terms of selecting people and cultivating players.

The Thunder, although they left Harden, but Wei Shao and Durant continued to evolve wildly.

Especially Wei Shao, at the time of the draft, he was considered by many people to be the next point guard jumping man, and the ceiling is what Francis looks like. But in fact, today's Wei Shao already has the top strength of the league. Not to mention his problems in controlling the tempo, he has the power of a zombie jumper, and the attack firepower is incredibly powerful. His individual attacks are even more powerful in the league in destroying opposing defensive camps.

The Memphis Grizzlies, though, don't have a superstar-caliber star as the leader in terms of the roster. But every player who has played on this team knows that the strength of the Grizzlies must not be judged based on the ability of their players.

The Grizzlies' overall style of play and strong performance on the defensive end have terrified the entire league. If the Grizzlies have someone on their roster who stirs up emotions and makes some unbelievable goals — like former Rasheed Wallace — then the Grizzlies will soon take off.

Unfortunately, the Grizzlies' gamble on Rudy Gay for years proved to be a failure. Gay is an All-Star-caliber star, but it's still far from the kind of person the Grizzlies want him to be.

Not to mention OJ Mayo on the shore of Daming Lake, once upon a time in the Grizzlies' future vision, Guy and Mayo should be the team's future outside cornerstone. Under the premise of a solid foundation under the black and white bear truss on the inside, the Grizzlies will replicate the glory of the Pistons of the past.

These three teams are widely believed by public opinion to become the top horses in the West Region, and there will definitely be a place for them in the top four places.

In addition to these three teams, neither the Clippers nor the Rockets are fuel-efficient lights.

After the Clippers had Paul, after a period of running-in, the combined power of the interior Jordan and Griffin was gradually discovered.

Although there has always been an argument that Paul's appearance limits Griffin's room to play. But it is undeniable that with Paul, the Clippers have the capital to challenge the league's power, and Jordan Jr. has the strength to become the league's first-line center.

And the thickness of the lineup on all positions of the Clippers is very good, Billups brings championship temperament, Calone Butler brings experience and firepower supplements, Bledsoe brings outside vitality and impact, Jamal Crawford brings unpredictable super explosiveness that may explode at any time, Matt Barnes, Turiaf, Odom, Hollins, Willy Green, are all veterans with great achievements, with different functions, and it seems that they can all go to the next level by Paul's side.

As for the Rockets, although from the perspective of the lineup, except for Harden, the rest of the players are quite mediocre.

But no one can predict how strong Harden's potential is, and players such as Parsons, Asik, Beverley, Jeremy Lin, and Brooks also have their own characteristics. If Harden can pinch the team well and play the leadership temperament that he has shown when he was on the Thunder, then this Rockets team should not be underestimated.

The most terrifying, and the most unpredictable, is the other team.

"Los Angeles Lakers."

The commentator analyzed: "Before the start of the season, the Lakers, who formed a terrifying new generation of F4 lineup, were favored by countless fans and will definitely be able to easily enter the finals." Some fans even made bold statements in interviews, saying that this Lakers team 'can win the championship with his grandmother'. ”

Kobe, Howard, Gasol, Nash.

It's hard to imagine a team with four players like that struggling to survive for a playoff spot.

So before the start of the season, in people's predictions, the top four teams in the Western Conference should be the Lakers, Spurs, Thunder, and Grizzlies.

Both the Clippers and the Rockets are eligible to challenge the Grizzlies.

However, at the end of the season, the results were a big surprise.

"Except for Kobe, the entire Lakers team doesn't seem to be able to play anymore. The fusion of superstars is not necessarily a guarantee of victory, and the Lakers should have a deep understanding of this after two failed attempts to form F4. ”

The commentator said: "It is precisely because of the failure of the Lakers, coupled with the continued success of our Kings team, that we are now the top four seeds in the Western Conference!" ”

Third in the West End!

In this troubled world, it is really surprising that the Kings can get such results.

And now, the king's journey to do things is about to begin......!

"Yo, long time no see, useless guy."

On the field, the warm-up between the two sides has long been over, and after the final tactical set-up in the dressing room, the players returned to the field.

As soon as he walked out of the player's tunnel, Gu Yu heard a fairly familiar voice.

"Uh-huh, you're losing again??"

Looking back, it was the Clippers who were the core Paul, and Gu Yu squirted back with a word of trash.

"I'll your ......"

Paul knew that this trash talk was already Gu Yu's conditioned reflex, but he was still a little unhappy: "The only team in the West that has hope of getting off the line, have you seen how everyone judges in the sports news??" ”

That's right, before the first round of the playoffs began, the media, which was better at doing things than the Kings, had already begun to use all kinds of sensational headlines to build momentum for the playoffs.

Among them, every year, there will be people who analyze the issue of "going down and up" with serious nonsense, and naturally it is also discussed.

Judging from the matchup in the Western Conference, the Spurs vs. the Lakers, who were reimbursed by Kobe, are basically a sweeping situation.

Thunder faced the rocket that had just been pinched into a synthetic type, and the eldest brother and second brother would definitely teach the third brother a good lesson.

As for the Grizzlies vs. Nuggets...... The Nuggets, I'm afraid that among the top eight in the Western Conference, the only team that is clearly here to accompany the prince to study, and the Grizzlies' style is quite restrained by the Nuggets, and the Nuggets' chances are extremely slim......

Looking at it, the only one who has a chance to get off the gram is undoubtedly the Clippers.

"Our power forward is 10,000 times stronger than you, the center and your cousin have their own strengths, small forward and scoring guard position, your team is to put it bluntly, you are okay, we have a lot of elite soldiers here, and the wheel war has crushed you to death. As for the point guard position......"

Paul spewed trash talk back, glanced back at Evans rather contemptuously, a smile on the corner of his mouth, and reached out to make a neck wiping motion: "Tyrek will be abused by me to death......!" ”

"You ......"

"Wait."

Seeing that Evans had some intention of spraying back, Gu Yuyi stretched out his hand to stop his brother, glanced at Paul coldly and said, "Then explain to me, you are so spicy, why are you still crushed by us?" Yes? ”

"I ......"

Paul's words retracted when he came to his mouth, looking at the Kings players on the side holding back their laughter one by one, his heart was very angry, he blushed for a long time, gritted his teeth and said: "That's because the schedule is unfavorable, and we have a lot of injuries!" You guys are healthy all year round! That's why you can overpower us in terms of record, otherwise you won't have a chance at all!! ”

Tut-tut......

Seeing that Paul, the famous god-level point guard in the league, would appear so angry, the players on the scene also shook their heads secretly, and had to sigh that Gu Yu, a guy with a thorny aura, was really powerful.

"Damn, that's your mistake."

Gu Yu shook his head and said, "You can use black when we are healthy?" Staying healthy is also part of strength, is it good, according to what you say, everyone says that their weakness is bad luck, so isn't everyone invincible?? I said if I had Carter's physical fitness, you would all be scum. Tyrek said if he had my shot, you'd be a chicken with him. Cousin said that if he had Kidd's brain, who in the league wouldn't be a dish in front of him?? ”

As he spoke, Gu Yu reached out and touched Paul's head, and said with a smile: "You can also say that if you are ten centimeters tall, you are Jordan, right?" Or do you want me to go to Kobe Bryant and ask for a piece of the floor so that you can lick it well? ”

“…… HOHOHO——！！ ”

Gu Yu's ridicule was so ruthless that not only did the Kings players immediately start to coax, but even Little Jordan and Odom on the side couldn't help laughing, which caused Paul to stare at him with death.

"You're ......!"

Paul was so angry with Gu Yu that he couldn't speak, and pointed at Gu Yu viciously: "Okay, health, right?" You're a cow, aren't you?? Yes...... I'd like to see which of us can touch the floor of the West Break first this year!! Let's go!! ”

"White poet, write a poem, send off!"

Gu Yu waved his big hand and watched Paul brush his sleeves away with a smile.

"Uh-huh, ahem......"

White immediately got up, coughed a few times and said: "Between the white emperor and the clouds, Paul kneels and licks the floor, if he is ten centimeters higher, he will step on the earth and the sky above his head!" ”

"Hahaha! So wet, so wet!! Hahaha......"

......!

Listening to the unscrupulous ridicule of Gu Yu and others, Paul was so angry that he completely forgot that it was clearly himself who went up to provoke him at the beginning.

Healthy?

Hehe, okay.

After the competition starts in a while, I want to see you, what kind of health law ......!

Five minutes later.

It's ...... game start!
