The long regular season is finally over, and players who didn't make the playoffs are planning to go on vacation, and for those who make the playoffs, recharging is a priority. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info after all, this annual playoffs are really very tempting, as it has always been said, the playoffs are the most attractive stage. Veteran players want to get a higher status, young players want to play at a high level, and the playoffs are where it can be given.

The 16th season was over, and the playoffs were not played until the 20th, so during these four days, the news media was more about analyzing and reporting on the summary of the regular season, evaluating the overall strength of the 30 teams and the players. Of course, during this period, it is necessary to analyze the playoff matchups.

In this year's regular season, the pattern of the league has changed a lot. The biggest one is Westbrook, who has an efficiency rating of 30.9 this year, which ranks first in the league. After Durant's departure, Westbrook almost led the team to the playoffs, which is the best name for him. Moreover, in terms of personal data, Westbrook has also risen significantly, averaging 28.2 points, 7.6 rebounds, 7.0 assists, 2.0 steals and 0.5 blocks per game, and he is the only player in the league who can play such statistics this season. Many media outlets unanimously rated Westbrook as the second best player in the league, believing that he could challenge for the league's first place next year.

Such a statement is not an exaggeration, because it is indeed the case. Westbrook has 10 triple-doubles since All-Star this season and a total of 16 triple-doubles throughout the season. The popularity and strength of the Almighty King are naturally beyond doubt. Many experts believe that if the Thunder keep Westbrook led by a single core, then Westbrook will likely play an average triple-double in the next two seasons. At that time, who can say that he is not the first person in the alliance?

Of course, winning the title of scoring champion and efficiency leader this season is already a qualitative leap for Westbrook itself, he is still young, and he clearly has a chance to become the future leader of the league.

In terms of other titles, DeAndre Jordan once again won the rebounding title with 12.9 rebounds per game, while he averaged 2.7 blocks per game, ranking first on the block list. In fact, Jordan Jr.'s physical fitness is very rebellious, but the ball quotient and technique are too poor, and the offensive ability is even more negligible. Therefore, whenever this guy plays an amazing performance in defense and rebounding, the fans are more of a sigh and regret, if Jordan Jr.'s skills are better, maybe the title of the league's No. 1 center can fall on his head. Of course, with this guy's IQ, in addition to being a girl, he definitely doesn't think about becoming a superstar.

In terms of assist kings, Wall averaged 9.5 assists per game in the regular season this season, beating Rondo's 9.3 and becoming the assist king for the first time in his career. In fact, Wall is a player who definitely has the potential to become the first point guard. And all along, the outside world has always felt that he can be the best point guard and even one of the best players. However, after a few seasons in the league, Wall failed to live up to expectations. His shooting still hasn't improved much, which restricts him from developing to a higher level. And getting the assist king this time is a big comfort for Wall. And for all those who have expectations for him, this assist king gives people a little hope, maybe Wall can become a future organization + defensive point guard.

Leonard has been a complete core of the Spurs this season, and the 39-year-old Duncan is said to be considering retiring, although it will be known whether he will eventually play for another year, which will not be known until he makes a decision this summer. Duncan's charisma speaks for itself, and he has left a strong mark on the entire Spurs history. However, even if Duncan does leave, the Spurs will still not lack starlight, because a young man who can also become a great superstar has already taken over the torch from Duncan's hands, just as Duncan took the torch from Admiral Robinson.

Leonard is averaging 22.3 points, 7.6 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 2.4 steals and 1.8 blocks per game this season, while shooting 49.0%, 39.7% and 82.1% from three. This performance has not changed much from last season, and many people may feel that Leonard's ceiling is not as high as expected. Actually, Leonard has matured more this season, and his improvement is still obvious. Because, in the case of constantly being affected by injuries this season, and successively interrupting the game, playing 59 games, Leonard handed in such an answer sheet is still very beautiful. His defensive efficiency ranks first in the league, and his 2.4 steals have earned him the title of steal king. Although this is not a perfect season for Leonard, the outside world is unanimously optimistic that Leonard can win the best defensive player in the 15~16 season.

This year's playoffs are hugely interesting.

The Lakers' 76-6 record shows that they can't match the quality of the team, and it's hard to think that any team can beat the Lakers in four games in a series. However, that's not to say that this year's playoffs don't make sense to watch. On the contrary, fans around the world have their eyes on the playoffs, and they want to see if the Lakers can show as much dominance in the playoffs as they did in the regular season. Moreover, the competition between some teams is full of boos and highlights.

The Cavaliers have a 65-17 record this year, second only to the Lakers. According to predictions, most people believe that this year's Finals will still be the Cavaliers vs. the Lakers, and the final score may be 4:2 or 4:1, and the Lakers will win the championship and complete the three consecutive championships. And the fans' expectation is the confrontation between the Cavaliers' Big Three and the Lakers, and then whether James can break out of the runner-up circle......

Of course, it's still a bit early to think about the Finals, and with the playoffs just around the corner, the league's 16-team first-round matchup is still quite interesting.

In the West, the Lakers' first-round opponent is the Los Angeles Clippers. The Clippers have a 37-45 record in the regular season this season, and the reason for this is that Griffin has become the Clippers' boss through and through. Paul lost control of the team, and the lineup was all around Griffin, which made Paul's importance slowly weakened again. Although Griffin's individual performance is amazing, the decline in his performance can also reflect a little problem. However, not many people now put the blame on Griffin, but blame Paul's personal level of competition. When they met the Lakers in the first round this year, the outside world unanimously felt that the Clippers had no chance of winning.

Coming in fourth and fifth place are the Trail Blazers and Warriors, both teams of similar overall strength and team record, and this is the most watched series of the first round. There is no doubt that this series will be very anxious, and there will be no shortage of excitement. It is worth mentioning that the winner of this series will meet the Lakers. Considering how competitive this series is, the pressure on the Lakers in the first two rounds is actually very small.

The other two sets of matchups in the West are the Jazz and Pelicans, as well as the Rockets and Spurs. The Jazz's group of youngsters, led by Isaiah Thomas and Andrew Wiggins, put up a 62-20 record with the third-best record in the league, which exceeded all expectations. Obviously, the Jazz are the dark horse of this season, and where it can go is naturally in the spotlight. This is followed by the series between the Rockets and Spurs, and it's not hard to imagine that this will also be a fierce matchup.

Eastern Front.

The Cavaliers' opponent is the Heat under Wade's command, and the popularity driven by the exchange of good friends will naturally increase the ratings of this round of the series.

In fourth place is the Celtics, who face the Bulls led by Chicago twin stars Middleton and Butler, and the winner of the two teams will meet the winner of the Cavaliers and Heat in the second round.

Another set of matchups.

The Pistons are second in the East with 53 wins and 29 losses, against the Toronto Raptors at 39-43.

In third place is the 51-31 Wizards against the Philadelphia 76ers who are 43-39. (To be continued.) )
