This is difficult to predict. This is the charm of sports. You can never guess the result. Of course, there are only a few teams that have a chance to win the championship. The Heat have almost no rivals in the Eastern Conference. The Bulls, the most threatening team, have difficulty competing against the Heat due to Rose's injury. The Pacers have blocked the Heat many times during the regular season. , just like last year's Eastern Conference semifinals, but this season if they want to meet the Heat, they basically have to reach the Eastern Conference finals. Before that, they have to compete with the Knicks for a place to challenge the Heat. The Pacers' All positions are good. Hibbert in their interior can be said to be a nightmare for the Heat. Their new leader Paul George is also playing at a high level this season. Their defense is also very good, but it is still difficult to limit the Heat. Wade's state has also returned to a high level this season. He doesn't want to be troubled by injuries last season. Maybe he is still a little injured now, but Wade at this level can almost defeat everything. Not to mention James, just rely on The two of them suppressed the weakness inside. Granger's comeback also failed to show off in this "new team", so except for Hibbert, George has some power, but this is not enough. Hibbert can withstand it. The Heat have a lot of impact, but the offense is insufficient, and Paul George is also an outstanding small forward in the contemporary era, but the Heat have James, and the Knicks are indeed playing well this season. They are also the Heat's strong team. In the first two games of this season They beat the Heat every time, but it was at the beginning of the season. The Heat were not in such good shape, and the Knicks were also in great shape at that time. But now the roles have been reversed, and the Knicks are very good. It is difficult to stop the Heat. They will face off again in early April. The Knicks are actually a relatively weak team inside. Their rebounding is not much better than the Heat. Although Chandler is here, he has also rebounded many times. He scored 20 rebounds, but this was due to the fact that they had no one inside. Of course he was very comfortable grabbing rebounds by himself (his rebounding ability is not weak), but it was difficult for him to cover the inside alone, which was also the inside. Because of this, when they lost their outside touch and lacked defense, they gradually lost their support. As long as their touch was normal, the Heat would not be afraid of this kind of team (the Heat's two losses and their three The Heat just like to run and play like this, so there is no problem for the Heat to compete in the Western Conference. It is estimated that they can lock in the playoffs in less than 2 or 3 days (it is estimated that they will be the first to lock in the playoffs). team), and in the West, although there are many strong teams, they only need to meet one. Maybe it is the strongest one, but compared with the Heat who are fighting in the West and waiting for work, he can have physical strength. All advantages (of course, the premise is that the Heat can easily pass the Eastern Conference, at least not play 7 games).
Let’s say here that the Heat can enter the finals (the probability is also 80, as long as there are no special reasons for injuries), his opponents in the finals are likely to be the Thunder and Spurs, and the other teams are No need to think about it, I believe you can understand this. Of course, as long as it is not as magical as the Mavericks in 2011, it will still be difficult for teams like the Clippers, Grizzlies, and Nuggets to make it out of the Western Conference. If they really make it to the Finals, Then the Heat are going to laugh.
The Heat play the Spurs. The Spurs are currently the league leader, but we all know that they have been a regular season team in the past few years. In the playoffs, especially after the second round, their physical strength will appear. After all, their GDP is not low. Although they have noticed the problem in recent years and added many young players, plus Popovich, the three GDPs have performed a lot, and it is still difficult for them to make it in the playoffs. Make some progress.
The Heat will play the Thunder. Maybe this year’s finals will be the same as the year before, with the Thunder playing the Heat. These two teams have the greatest chance of facing off in the Finals. When they face off, it will be really exciting. It's hard to say. Although they passed 4:1 last year (actually 4:1 is not a true portrayal, the difference in several games is not big), but now a year has passed, the young players of the Thunder are all improving, and some veterans are not the same. One year older, Durant and Westbrook have more experience. Especially Westbrook, he has learned to pass and his shooting is even better. Although some basketball commentators said that the Heat are not afraid of the Thunder because of the Heat's Wade. James is better and can limit Durant and Westbrook, but what about the other way around? It seems to be the same reason. Many teams are afraid of these two players from the Heat, but the Thunder don't seem to be afraid either. Although Harden has left, Martin can score almost as well as Harden, and Bu The addition of Ruhr gives them an outstanding outside defender. They may be able to help the team restrict Janeway. Of course, there are few people on this planet who can completely restrict Janeway or Dewey, but if the Thunder can 40 limits the Heat and the Heat only have 30, so this is also a victory. Of course, the Heat also have Bosh. If he has an advantage against the defensive hero Ibaka (or Perkins), he can defeat the Heat. Make a great contribution, maybe when those four people are fighting to the death, Bosh may become a winning point. In addition, the Heat's advantage is that the Thunder lacks lethality inside, and Perkins' movement is also relatively Slow, so in summary, it would be really exciting for these two teams to fight. It’s hard to say whether the Heat will defend the title or the Thunder will take revenge (I’m not talking about the home field advantage here. After all, the two teams are only 1 and a half games apart, but it seems that the Heat have won the home court. There is a great chance of an advantage. Their next schedule is good. Let’s see when they stop their winning streak.) Under the premise that the mentality does not consider anything else, whoever can take the initiative first may have a lot of success. A huge advantage, so it depends on who of the four including Durant, James and others can break through the opponent first, then they will have a greater chance of winning the championship.
