Chapter 420: Eastern Environment

The polarization in the East is relatively strict, generally speaking, it is more difficult to stage a drama in the East, the top four teams in the East, the Boston Celtics, the New York Knicks, the Orlando Magic and the Cleveland Cavaliers are relatively strong, and the gap in strength between the last four teams is also relatively large.

Now the bottom four spots in the East, which are the last four tickets to the playoffs, are still quite fiercely contested.

The main teams competing for this ticket now are the Detroit Pistons, Chicago Bulls, the Very 76ers, the Miami Heat, and the Atlanta Hawks.

In fact, it is said that these five teams are competing for tickets to the playoffs, but in fact, among these five teams, the Atlanta Hawks and Miami Heat are still relatively strong.

The Miami Heat's current performance is all due to Wade's efforts, and Wade is really fierce this season. He averaged 30.2 points on nearly 50 percent shooting per game, along with 7.5 assists and 5.0 rebounds. This number jù sincere invincible storage zài. How does this Nima let others play, now Chen Jiyuan is still on the way to catch up with Wade's scores, this season Chen Jiyuan is still in line with the scoring king, but now Wade is the league's scoring champion, there is no doubt about this, because Wade is the only player in the league who can average more than 30 points per game, and Chen Jiyuan is now on the way to catch up with Wade, and Chen Jiyuan is gradually approaching an average of 30 points per game.

At the beginning of the season, Chen Jiyuan's average points per game were relatively small, but as the season progressed, Chen Jiyuan's points were gradually improving, especially now that Sessions was injured, which was already a big bad news for the Knicks. Because although Sessions' average points per game is not particularly large, Sessions' contribution of more than 10 points per game can still be guaranteed, and Sessions' three-point ability is also more threatening.

The strength of the Heat is not very strong, Wade's super explosion this season is also overdrawn a lot of things, and when the Heat Big Three followed, Wade's fatigue was revealed, although there were reasons for James when Wade's number declined in those four seasons, because there were so many balls in a team, and after James occupied a part, the rest had to be divided between Wade and Bosh. It is normal for Wade's number to decline, but in addition to James's accident, Wade's physical condition is also a big reason, Wade often missed games in the season before James left, in order to let Wade rest, it is to let Wade play in the playoffs, but Wade's performance is still so average, and it did not meet the Cheng dù that everyone expected, which is also unacceptable for James, because of the decline in Wade's state, So the Heat's competitiveness is not as strong as it was back then. That's why James chose to go home. The competitiveness of the Heat is not there, so I have no reason for James to stay in the Heat, and I can't get the love of fans if I stay in the Heat, and I have to bear the infamy. After comprehensive consideration, James decided to go home and return to Cleveland, in this way, James can still get a good reputation, and James feels that with his reputation as the first person in the league, coupled with the champion pick accumulated by the Cavaliers over the years, it is definitely possible to exchange for a good player, and even for an All-Star is a very normal thing, then the competitiveness of the Cavaliers will surpass the Heat, which is also something that James considered before going home. Returning to Cleveland to continue playing is definitely the best option for James, aside from the injured Heat fans and Heat teammates. It's basically a happy ending.

It can be said that Wade's current awesomeness is overdrawn in the future. Wade has been overdrawing on his knee too much this season.

Although the Heat's overall strength is absolutely impossible to win the championship, they can still buy tickets to the playoffs in groups, and the reason is Wade.

And another team that doesn't have much of a problem in the playoffs is the Hawks. The Eagles can be said to be a tepid team for 10,000 years. It's always a playoff team, but it doesn't go very far. This is also a different kind of sadness. The Eagles basically didn't have a rebuilding period, and they basically didn't have a heyday. Of course, ancient times don't count.

For many years, the Hawks didn't get a ticket to the Eastern Conference Finals. I don't know if this situation is lucky or unlucky.

The current leader of the Hawks team is Joe Johnson, and the second is Josh Smith, the Knicks were very close to Josh Smith, but they failed in the end, and the Knicks' offer was already very high at that time, which was higher than the renewal price of the Hawks in the previous life, but I didn't expect it to fail in the end. The Eagles actually followed up, which surprised Chen Jiyuan, who thought that the Eagles would give up Josh Smith. But I didn't expect Josh Smith to be so valued by the Hawks, and the price of Josh Smith is close to the standard that a team gives itself to the boss. But I didn't expect the eagles to follow up.

If the Knicks can bring Josh Smith to the Knicks, then the strength of the Knicks will rise in an instant, because Josh Smith's forward strength is definitely worth mentioning, and it is very strong in the entire league, and it can definitely help the weak Knicks forward become one of the strong forwards in the league. Josh Smith's left and right are much stronger than the current Stephen Jackson, although Josh Smith's three-point shot is not strong and inaccurate, but Josh Smith's defensive ability is not comparable to Stephen Jackson, and for the impact of the interior, Stephen Jackson and Josh Smith are not at the same level at all, you must know that Josh Smith's physical elements are very good in the entire league, In the face of James Josh Smith, there will definitely be no loss, this is the awesomeness of Josh Smith's physical element.

The Philadelphia 76ers relied on the team of last season to play the game, and the hope of being able to enter the playoffs is still relatively small, after all, the 76ers last season were one of the teams in the playoffs, and this season's 76ers found the original Clippers captain Brand, who originally planned to do a big job, but he didn't expect that Brand's body was no longer what it was back then, after the injury, Brand's state was not as good as before, but it was in this hand, and then it was over, First of all, I didn't play much throughout the season, and I played less than 30 games in total this season, but the number of jù was not much, and the help to the team was not as great as I imagined, and the internal and external cooperation that I imagined did not come out.

This makes the very management who want to make a big difference at the beginning of the season very sad. And Iguodala was injured as a result. Because of the team's performance, Iguodala's feelings for Philadelphia are getting worse and worse.

Another team in the playoffs is the Chicago Bulls, who originally found Ben Wallace and wanted to make a big difference, but also came to their senses and traded Ben Wallace away. Then use a lineup that is not very expensive now, and prepare to impact the playoffs, even if they are ready to hit the playoffs, they don't plan to work hard for the championship, because they also know that the current Chicago Bulls definitely have no chance of winning the championship, and they will definitely not reach this height. So the current Chicago Bulls are waiting for Rose's growth, and Rose, as a champion, is naturally highly anticipated.

If Rose can replace Ben Gordon, then Ben Gordon will soon be traded.

Because in terms of scoring ability, Rose is not inferior to anyone's talent, but in terms of assists and big drama audiences, Rose is many times stronger than Ben Gordon. That's why Ben Gordon was abandoned. As a pure scoring guard, Ben Gordon's height is a little short, and this is not fatal, the fatal thing is the difference in value to Ben Gordon, which is the biggest reason why the Bulls and Ben Gordon broke up. Ben Gordon is definitely not less worth himself. But with Rose's Bulls don't take Ben Gordon that seriously, so naturally the money won't be given that much. Because Ben Gordon's future is an upper limit after all, of course, this is just speculation and there is an upper limit, but according to Ben Gordon's table in the past two years, the Bulls are indeed not worth continuing to invest in Ben Gordon.

These are the stronger teams in the East. The remaining competitive is the traditional powerhouse Pistons in the East, which are basically planning to rebuild and have sent away the team's boss Chauncy Billups. It's hard to say if you'll get a ticket to the playoffs.

However, no matter who gets the playoff ticket, it looks like the top four in the East are a lot worse, so basically the possibility of getting off the top is not very likely, except for the Hawks and the Heat.

In the East, this is basically the environment, and the Knicks are in this situation, so even if the Knicks are now short of major generals, they still have to strive to advance one place, so that they will have a home-court advantage in the second round, otherwise, the other three strong teams, the Knicks are not sure to win.
