After the All-Star break, the annual trade deadline is always extra eye-catching. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the past, because of the emergence of the Warriors, the teams worked hard to strengthen the Warriors, just to be able to compete with the Warriors, especially when the Warriors formed F4.

This year, the reinforcements of the teams are still for this purpose, but this time the team they need to compete with is no longer the Warriors, but the Lakers.

There were two biggest trades of the offseason, and those two were linked together.

The Spurs, Bucks and Warriors have reached a three-way deal.

The Spurs sent their last year's signing of Faried and a second-round pick to get the Bucks' interior and the coveted Monroe.

The Warriors, for their part, sent Bogut and next year's first-round pick to the Spurs' Faried.

The Bucks have failed to make the playoffs for the third year in a row, and the team owner fired Kidd, and now he has sent Menloe to get a draft pick and Bogut, officially announcing a new round of rebuilding.

The biggest significance of this deal is that both the Spurs and the Warriors have been substantially strengthened, and it is obviously not so easy for the Lakers to break out of the West.

This round of reinforcement has also brought the league to a point of polarization, the strong teams are getting stronger and stronger, and the weak teams are getting weaker and weaker, which makes the sense of expectation for most games plummet, although the league has not yet introduced relevant restriction policies, but it has really affected the league's income, and I believe that it will definitely change in the near future.

Of course, this is the future trend of the league, and it has no impact on the current powerhouses, or they will not pay attention to this.

The teams that have strengthened each other have worked hard to improve their records in the second half of the season, and when the regular season ends on April 18, the league's record is also a surprise to everyone, which can be called a unique scene in history.

In the West, the Lakers, Warriors, and Spurs won 77, 68, and 65 respectively, and three teams in one division won more than 65 games at the same time, creating a unique scene in history.

The number of games in the league is fixed, and some teams have won super high, which means that other teammates have extremely poor records, such as the Nuggets in the West, who only got 6 wins in a whole season, which is worse than the original 76ers.

In contrast, the Eastern Conference is much better, and the Cavaliers' 62-win record is also very impressive, but the Celtics, Pacers, and subsequent playoff teams are not much worse than last year.

When the top eight in the East and West are confirmed, the playoff matchups will also be released.

The Lakers' opponent in the first round was the Clippers.

The Clippers' record has further weakened as Paul ages, especially Randle, who has not improved as expected and has not been able to replace the core, and the team's record has further declined.

In the face of such a team that has been declining, the Lakers easily swept the opponent 4-0.

There is no suspense in the game itself, but Tang Shuai is a little sad that cannot be said.

It's not that he played well, but counting last year, this is the second consecutive year that his team has eliminated the Clippers, whether it is for Paul or the Clippers, the feeling in his heart is not very good.

So much so that after the series between the two sides ended, Tang Shuai found Paul, hoping that he could join the Lakers when his contract expired next offseason.

But Paul politely refused.

Every player has the character of each player, and he also has his paranoia.

Think about it, this offseason, Paul signed a 1+1 contract, he had the opportunity to go to the Cavaliers, and really achieved the goal of playing together with the Dust Four, in fact, James and Anthony also tried, but in the end Paul gave up, which shows that he is a warrior in his heart and disdains to do that kind of huddle behavior.

Tang Shuai respected Paul's choice, everyone has their own choice, he can do, and all he can choose to do is blessings.

After eliminating the Clippers, the Lakers' next round opponent is the Trail Blazers.

Speaking of the opponent in the second round, the twists and turns in this are really laughable.

After the end of the regular season, the Rockets got 58 wins, ranked fourth in the West, and like last year, they had the home court advantage, and they had a chance to meet the Lakers again in the second round, but the situation was very similar to last year, last year was eliminated by the fifth-place Clippers, and they were finally eliminated by the Trail Blazers 2-4 times this year.

At the beginning of this season, Lillard once stated in public that he would never go to a super team in his career, which is also his belief, and he proved with a season of performance that what he wants to do is to turn the Trail Blazers into a super team.

After eliminating the Rockets, he did it.

Lillard's story is inspirational and touching, and even when put together, it could be made into a realistic version of the movie.

But, unfortunately, he and his Trail Blazers team met Tang Shuai and the Lakers in the second round.

4 to 0.

Without any suspense, the Lakers swept the opponent with ease.

Lillard single-core led the team to the Western Conference semifinals, averaging 38.6 points and 6.8 assists per game, but when he and Tang Shuai faced up, the data cliff fell to 21.6 points, and the shooting rate also dropped from 56% to 32%.

Without the explosive Lillard, the Trail Blazers really don't have a chance at all.

The Lakers have two sweeps in a row, which is completely expected, and they can now easily wait for the next round of opponents after finishing the two rounds early.

It's just that their opponents are not so comfortable.

As expected, both the Spurs and Warriors eliminated their opponents in the first round, both with a 4-0 sweep, but when the two teams met in the semifinals, it was more intense than ever.

The Warriors won two home games first, and they were very fast, and the Spurs stubbornly won two games in a row at home, and Monroe completely blew up the Warriors' interior at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends. Povich's training has greatly increased his strength, turning Faried, a physical man who is also a former Spurs player.

After the two sides were tied 2-2, they entered the crucial battle of Tianwang Mountain, which was played at Oakland, the home of the Warriors.

Warriors fans were expecting to win the match point at home, but the result was that the Spurs had the last laugh, and Monroe's last-minute rebound made Warriors fans feel a burst of angina.
