However, at this time, the NBA's regular season rankings were also released, and the East and West could be described as a bloody battle.

Eastern Conference: No. 1, Miami Heat (60-22), the Heat's Big Three really won the first place in the East, allowing the Heat to have more home-court advantage in Eastern games.

The second place is the Indiana Pacers (58-24), the Pacers have sprung up this season, under the leadership of Vogel with Paul George, West, and Hibbert as the core of the iron-blooded defense, the Pacers have been perfect this season, but unfortunately lost to the Heat, and they are definitely the biggest opponents of the Heat in the playoffs!

Third place, Toronto Raptors (56-26), the Raptors have performed well this season, the combination of Lowry + DeRozan + Guy is definitely very strong, but the distribution of the ball is a big problem, but the Raptors are still possible to impact the semifinals, and it is enough to impact the Eastern Conference finals, neither the Pacers nor the Heat will give them a chance.

The rest are the Bulls at No. 4, the Wizards at No. 5, the Nets at No. 6, the Hawks at No. 7 and the Hornets at No. 8.

Heat VS Hornets, basically there is no suspense in qualifying, Pacers VS Hawks, up to 4-2 can advance, Raptors VS Nets, 4-2 promotion should be no suspense, the rest of the Bulls may have to lose to the Wizards, after all, Rose has been injured, and the Wizards' Beal and Wall are not vegetarians.

Coming to the Western Conference, the first place is naturally the NBA's traditional giants Los Angeles Lakers (64-18), this season's Lakers' record can be described as quite good, and it is also a well-deserved first in the league, if it meets the Heat in the Finals, then the Lakers' excellent regular season record will gain home court advantage.

The second place is the Oklahoma City Thunder (59-23), which has been biting very tightly in the back, under the leadership of the Thunder, the Thunder is biting behind the Lakers, if it weren't for the comeback of Kobe Bryant and Millsap in the later games, it is estimated that the Thunder may really reverse the Lakers to become the first in the West!

The third place is the Golden State Warriors (55-27), the Warriors have also improved a lot this season, under the tutelage of head coach Kerr, the Warriors' splash brothers can be described as making rapid progress, and the two have combined to contribute an average of 50+ per game! Coupled with the fact that Iguodala has the strength of the best sixth man on the bench, the Warriors are really confident about the playoffs.

The fourth place is the San Antonio Spurs (54-28), the GDP is still stable, Leonard is making rapid progress, under the leadership of Popovich, the Spurs are ranked fourth in the West this season, but this definitely does not mean that the Spurs are not as good as the teams in front of him, just that the Spurs are consciously closing and waiting for the playoffs.

The fifth-place Clippers, the sixth-place Rockets, the seventh-place Grizzlies, and the eighth-place Mavericks, these teams are also interesting.

The Clippers are unfortunate to meet the Spurs, although the combination of Paul and Griffin has shown its edge, but everyone is still not optimistic that they can eliminate the experienced Spurs, at most 4-2 Spurs can eliminate the Clippers and advance to the semifinals!

In addition, it is also interesting for the Rockets and the Warriors to meet, but the bearded man alone is estimated to be difficult to resist the combination of the Warriors' splash brothers, plus David Lee and Bogut, who have good interior strength, the Warriors are still relatively likely to eliminate the Rockets.

When the Grizzlies meet the Thunder, basically there is no suspense and they will be killed by the Thunder, Durant and Westbrook are definitely enough for the Grizzlies to drink a pot, and the Lakers' opponent is the Dallas Mavericks, but many people are not optimistic about the Mavericks, after all, the Lakers now have a neat lineup, which can be described as strong, and the Mavericks, who only barely entered the top eight in the West and won a playoff ticket, are not favored by many people.

In a short few days of vacation, the Lakers players tried their best to recover their tired bodies, and then competed for the next more intense and brutal playoffs.

Moreover, this season's Lakers came with the goal of winning the championship, and anyone who didn't perform well was estimated to be sprayed to death by the Lakers fans.

The owner of the Mavericks is very famous, a billionaire Cuban, for the Mavericks to have such an owner is very happy, and just a few years ago, the Mavericks finally won an O'Brien Cup, for the Mavericks to win an extremely important championship!

Before the game, Cuban said in an interview: "I don't think, we will definitely be losers, I will accompany my team throughout the whole process, I hope my players can play hard, even if the opponent has Black Mamba Kobe Bryant, super rookie Ye Feng, we will definitely be able to beat them!" ”

Moreover, Cuban also made a bold statement that if he can defeat the Lakers and advance to the semifinals, all the players can share five million dollars according to their performance, which is a great stimulus and will definitely make the players burst out with strong fighting spirit!

In fact, Budenholzer hasn't been idle these days, constantly researching the Mavericks' players and what kind of changes they might make in the playoffs.

The Mavericks' point guards have two options, one is Devin Harris, who is incredibly fast and brave enough to attack the basket, but is prone to injury and impulsiveness, and the other option is Jose Calderon, a pass-first player who focuses on perimeter shooting.

On the top of the scoring guard, Monta Ellis is fast and accurate, but his efficiency is very low, but there is Nowitzki inside the Mavericks, and Calderon is a pass-first teammate outside, and Monta Ellis has maintained an average of 20+ data per game in the regular season!

On the small forward side, it is the hacker Marion, Marion is also the last season this season, for Marion's career is already worth boasting of the first 15,000 points, 10,000 rebounds, 1,000 blocks and 500 three-pointers in NBA history, a guy who can defend from the No. 1 position to the No. 4 position, and his defensive and rebounding ability is important to the Mavericks.

The big forward is the legendary superstar Nowitzki of the Mavericks, as the most successful international player in the NBA before Ye Feng appeared, Nowitzki's advantages are too many, Nowitzki's backward jumper and Golden Rooster independence are absolutely wind~ coquettish boundless, perfect shooting skills almost cover the entire half, and are good at playing 2+1, but there are advantages and disadvantages, Nowitzki's defensive and defensive ability deviation is in stark contrast to his offensive ability!

As for the Mavericks' center Samuel Delhamport, he is a blue-collar interior with tall and long arms, and can occasionally shoot from mid-range; No ability in the low post, able to finish offense; can block and grab rebounds, and his defensive awareness is average, so the center is a guy who is responsible for grabbing rebounds and helping to make up for defense, and the specific offense still depends on Nowitzki!
