There is one team in the league that is currently attracting everyone's attention, and that is the defending champion Miami Heat, who have won 27 in a row.

The team, led by "the league's No. 1" LeBron James, is on its way to the Los Angeles Lakers' 33-game winning streak for the longest winning streak in NBA history.

The Miami Heat are undisputed to be the league's biggest viewers, with an average rating of 3.7 on ABC TV for their games, which translates to an average of 6.1 million viewers, which is 32 percent higher than the "non-Heat games."

On ESPN, the average viewership of a Heat game is 1.8, which translates to 2.2 million viewers, which is 29% higher than the "non-Heat game".

In an earlier game, the Miami Heat snapped their longest season-long 27-game winning streak with a 108-94 home win over the visiting Orlando Magic.

Although many fans guessed the outcome, the process was full of twists and turns, and the Miami Heat trailed the Orlando Magic by 11 points at one point in the first half.

In the last attack of the first half, LeBron James beat three defenders in a row and scored 2+1 in the face of the remaining two, which narrowed the gap to only 3 points before the end of the half.

In the second half of the game, the Miami Heat began to slowly control the situation on the court, first Wade scored consecutive attacks, and then LeBron hit a goal to take the lead.

The Orlando Magic relied on Benno Udri to pull back the top shot, but LeBron James hit a solid three-point shot. Before the end of the quarter, it was also LeBron who assisted + made a layup, helping the Heat lead by 5 points to end the third quarter.

It was also after this that the Heat team did not let the Magic see the possibility of overtaking, Kerr broke out in the final quarter, LeBron scored key points in a row, and the outcome of the game lost suspense.

From trailing by 11 points to winning by 14 points at one point, the Miami Heat's control of the game was obvious, especially in the third quarter, when they won by 8 points in a single quarter and continued to play a 30-21 scoring climax in the final quarter, the Heat easily won the game as if they were teasing their opponents.

Looking back at the past few games of the Heat, "reversal" has become the key word for them to win. Away from home against the Cavaliers trailed by 27 points at most. But relying on LeBron's super individual ability and the team's outburst in the second half, the Heat still won by 3 points.

Earlier against the Celtics, it was also a 17-point comeback to win the second half of the Heat. In particular, the dominance of the final quarter was unquestionable.

In today's Union. The Miami Heat have become the best game at playing against the wind. Whether it's LeBron James or Dwyane Wade, they all have the ability to suddenly explode in the final quarter.

If there's one weakness in the current Miami Heat team, it's that he's not a team known for its box-area strength. Chris Bosh, the team's only interior star, is still a technical stream with an out-of-the-box style of play.

Taking this game as an example, the Miami Heat fell behind 30:47 in rebounding, and the rebounding in the frontcourt was 2:18.

However, they made 15 interceptions and forced 22 turnovers to make up for the rebounding disadvantage and win back the shots.

The most critical "four elements" on the basketball court: shooting percentage (including limiting opponents' shooting percentage), turnovers, rebounds and making free throws, although the Miami Heat lost rebounds, they won in the other three aspects, which is the main reason why the Heat are difficult to beat.

Today, in a prime-time in-interview TV show, five ESPN experts held a roundtable to discuss who deserves to be the Miami Heat's title defense in the NBA.

The scope of discussion was delineated among teams such as the Oklahoma City Thunder, San Antonio Spurs, Los Angeles Lakers, Memphis Grizzlies, Brooklyn Nets, and New York Knicks.

But the final result surprised many fans, because the five experts unanimously determined that the Los Angeles Lakers, who have the "Big Four", are not even qualified to be the imaginary rival of the Miami Heat.

However, the ESPN expert group believes that the biggest obstacle to the Miami Heat's title defense is not the Spurs, Thunder, Pacers, or Knicks, but the young Brooklyn Nets.

At present, the Miami Heat has a record of 56 wins and 14 losses, while the New York Knicks, Indiana Pacers, Chicago Bulls and other teams in the East have at least 27 losses, and the next games are all won at most 56 wins, so they will definitely not be able to catch up with the Heat.

The only team that can theoretically threaten the Miami Heat is the Brooklyn Nets, so the Heat have not yet locked up the Eastern Conference championship in theory, and they still need one win of their own, or one defeat of the Nets.

Of course, this is only a theoretical extrapolation, and in fact the Eastern Conference champion this season will definitely be the Miami Heat.

And the Brooklyn Nets are likely to hold on to the second spot in the East until the end of the regular season, as they have been on a hot streak lately, which is why they are considered the biggest challenger for the Heat by ESPN's expert panel.

In particular, the return of Deron Williams, another core point guard for the Brooklyn Nets, has also raised expectations for this team.

Although they suffered three straight defeats at the start of their Western Expedition during the injury of the team's core Tall and Strong, the Brooklyn Nets, who welcomed back the tall and strong, immediately showed their extremely strong strength.

They beat the Trail Blazers by 22 points 104-82 in Portland, and then beat the Jazz by 39 points 122-83 in Salt Lake City, the "home of the devils".

The Brooklyn Nets, who have a "seven-game away" devil's schedule, returned to the East, still on the road, and they also won by 20 points against the Raptors in Toronto.

Today, while the Heat won, they won another hearty victory in Cleveland with a score of 116-89, thus winning four consecutive away games.

In this streak, they have suppressed the opponent's score to less than 90 points in each game. With more than 20 points in each game, the Brooklyn Nets have made a qualitative leap in both offense and defense.

In these four games, the tall and strong can average 35 points, 6.5 rebounds and 5.25 assists per game, and the team is completely at its core.

While it's questionable how much credibility this model has and whether it can be carried over into the playoffs, ESPN's panel of experts believes that he is currently "the most well-rounded player in the NBA's offensive skills."

They agreed that he could become a top star as long as he improved his passing and defending, with individual offense being the least of his worries.

In fact, it is also true, in the game. You'll see that the tall and strong arsenal is really full of tricks. Even dwarfing LeBron James or Kevin Durant.

At present, Tall and Strong is averaging 29.2 points per game ahead of Carmelo Anthony's 28.6 points, second only to Kevin Durant's 29.4 points, and with the current momentum, Tall and Strong is likely to win the "scoring title" in his rookie season.

Among the top attackers in the NBA. Carmelo Anthony is dominated by outside shots. Kobe Bryant's technology is comprehensive. But the shooting percentage is not high, Dwyane Wade prefers to break through, and the shooting percentage is very beautiful. James Harden has the most ingenious style of play and is amazingly capable of making free throws......

However, Tall and Strong and Durant are the real indiscriminate attacks, and they can really take into account "quality and quantity", "inside and outside".

Of course, to challenge this booming Miami Heat team, it is not enough to be tall and strong, and last year's "scoring champion" Kevin Durant failed to defeat LeBron James's Heat team with the help of Westbrook.

But at the moment, this Brooklyn Nets team is not better than last year's Thunder, but at least it will not be weaker than last year's Thunder.

Its starting point guard Deron Williams is in good shape after returning from injury, averaging a double-double of 18.1 points, 4.3 rebounds and 10.6 assists per game, which also shows that Deron Williams, who was not selected as an All-Star, is still a first-line star in the league, and more importantly, he has a wealth of game experience.

The second surprise was Nets' starting small forward Kawhi Leonard, who didn't seem to have a period of adjustment, and after being traded to the Brooklyn Nets, he quickly got into the groove and proved to fans that he's not just a defensive striker, he's just as good offensively.

Mune's Kawhai Leonard has averaged 17.6 points, 8.1 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game since joining the Nets, and he can even act as the team's No. 1 attack arrow when he is not on the court.

The team's starting power forward Kenneth Faried's current performance of 12.9 points and 9.6 rebounds per game can only be described as mediocre, but only if fans expect too much from him.

His height deficit has hindered his development, but he is trying to make up for it with his passion, and it can be said that the current Nets defense has improved qualitatively, and the credit of "Half-Orc" Faried is not small.

In addition, the team's bench performance is also good, and the somewhat neurotic "comics" Lance Stephenson averages 10.5 points, 4.4 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game, which is the strongest firepower point of the rotation lineup.

Kyle Korver has shot 50.5% from three-point range this season, playing the role of a "cold-faced killer" very well, and his presence also makes opponents dare not go crazy to pack tall and strong.

Veteran players such as Gerard Wallace and Jerry Starhouse also often shine at key moments, and it can be said that the current Nets have a balanced personnel structure, and their only weakness is the same as the Heat, which is also on the inside.

But unlike the Heat, the Nets' interior line is that they don't have a prominent star player, and Coach Johnson has been adjusting to the use of center, and from the current situation, in addition to Reggie Evans, Marcin Gortat, Chris Anderson and Timofey Mozgov are all likely to be starters.

Marcin Gortat is stable, and the "bald head" is currently averaging 9.7 points and 9.1 rebounds in less than 30 minutes per game, a hard-working "middle class".

Chris Anderson's passion and pace undoubtedly make him the perfect choice for the Nets to play the "small" lineup.

Timofey Mozgov may be a surprise, although he doesn't play much, but at 2.16m, he has all the characteristics of a "European center", he has the skills and skills of a small forward with great impact and athleticism, he can often pull opposing centers off the three-point line, and his height is what the Nets need.

Combining the above characteristics, the Brooklyn Nets are regarded by ESPN's expert panel as the Miami Heat's strongest challenger in the East.

And in an interview, LeBron James, the "top name" of the Miami Heat, said that he would often follow the Nets and Pacers.

This means that the Nets and Pacers are the opponents that the Heat are serious about, and unfortunately, the New York Knicks, led by Anthony, are not in James' "field of vision".

The Brooklyn Nets have a chance to challenge the Miami Heat, and maybe they won't succeed this year, but with a lot of rookies, their salary structure is very "reasonable".

They have 10 million superstar Deron Williams, and only two 8 million to 10 million stars Gerard Wallace and Chris Humphries are not the team's main players.

The Brooklyn Nets have picked up four rookie players who are "big beams", and with such a lineup and salary structure looking at the whole league, I am afraid they will be even more terrifying in the coming year.

It is conceivable that at the end of the season, there will be no major changes to the Nets' rotation lineup.

Reggie Evans didn't make it to the rotation, and two other players had player options, veterans Jerry Starhouse and CJ Watson, but they didn't have enough "play" on the team.

In short, the Nets' core roster of tall and strong, Deron Williams, Kawhai Leonard, Kenneth Faried, and even Lance Stephenson won't change for four years, barring a trade.

This young Brooklyn Nets team is very similar to the Oklahoma City Thunder team in the West, and they are also attacking the "Big Mac" Miami like the Thunder. (To be continued......)
