The first round matches are as follows:
Phoenix Suns: San Antonio Spurs; Houston Rockets: New Orleans Pelicans; Golden State Warriors: Utah Jazz; Oklahoma City Thunder: Portland Trail Blazers.

This year's playoffs in the Eastern Conference is not bad, but the Western Conference is cruel to the extreme. The Phoenix Suns will face the San Antonio Spurs in the first round. No matter where the Spurs team ranks, as long as he enters the playoffs, he will be An extremely difficult team!
In the second round, the Phoenix Suns are expected to face the Oklahoma City Thunder. This year's Thunder team has a mediocre effect in the early stage, but the terrifying combat power displayed in the later stage is chilling. The arrival of Paul George has improved the Thunder's defense even more. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as an impregnable wall. Although the performance in the regular season is not too strong, no team is willing to meet the Oklahoma City Thunder in the second round!
The Houston Rockets are likely to meet the Golden State Warriors in the second round. This pair of opponents is also cruel to the extreme. The Rockets have James Harden and Chris Paul, and the Golden State Warriors have five dead players. They all play small balls. Tactics, when you meet your opponent, it's really hard to say who will win.

Zhang Xin is still very excited about the fifth year of the playoffs, because he is about to unlock the playoff mode. For Zhang Xin, the intensity of the regular season is too small, and he hardly encounters too many challenges. Only the playoffs Only the game can make him fight heartily.

Zhang Xin was very excited, but his opponent was very nervous. Popovich frowned and stood in front of the whiteboard to write and draw. He couldn't find anyone who could restrict Zhang Xin. Because Zhang Xin entered the league, Leonard De's fate has also been changed. This time he was not injured, so there is no conflict with the Spurs. Leonard has improved a lot this season, but can Leonard really limit Zhang Xin?

Popovich thought for a long time, then shook his head. What Leonard has improved is offense, and defense is already at its peak. The previous Leonard couldn't restrain Zhang Xin, and this year's Leonard still can't restrain Zhang Xin. What's even more frightening is: Zhang Xin has evolved again this season!

A player with three MVPs in the regular season can still evolve, this is the day for the Huskies, Popovich cursed in his heart!
Popovich put his eyes on Rudy Gay. Rudy Gay is 203cm tall and weighs 104KG. His body shape is not much different from Zhang Xin, and his speed can keep up. Although there may be no way to limit Zhang Xin, he is reckless. If Di Guy and Leonard consume Zhang Xin together, it should still be able to play a role, right?

In fact, Popovich is also doubting whether these two people can limit Zhang Xin. Popovich has always been good at limiting superstars, such as Kobe Bryant and LeBron James. Every time Kobe and LeBron James play against the Spurs , the performance is always much worse than usual, but Popovich has a headache for Zhang Xin, Zhang Xin is too comprehensive!Zhang Xin is too cunning!Zhang Xin is too powerful!

Popovich has already regretted the poor adjustment at the beginning of the season. This season, the Spurs are actually very good. However, the injuries in the early stage of the season caused too many losses at the beginning of the season, and they slowly caught up in the later stages. , but could only squeeze out the Timberwolves to enter the eighth place, and now they met Zhang Xin in the first round!
But regretting it now will not help. Popovich can only bite the bullet and hope that under his arrangement, the Spurs can limit Zhang Xin's performance. If they can limit Zhang Xin's performance, the Spurs can have hope of winning. Now The Suns are not just Zhang Xin. Under the leadership of Zhang Xin, the Suns have completely transformed into a strong team this year. Even without Zhang Xin, the Suns are still a strong team!
The sun's Devin Booker, Batty Hield, Malcolm Brogdon, Kyle Kuzma, these young people are all Popovich's drooling wants to get, these didn't look too good at first Under the guidance of Zhang Xin, the young people have transformed into players who can stand alone. If the Suns are willing to defend them, at least they can become the second leader of the team.

Popovich sighed in his heart, Zhang Xin is a terrible player. The scary thing is not only his personal strength, but in fact, in terms of his personal strength, he is already an enhanced version of Kobe Bryant, or Michael Jordan's enhanced version, what's more terrifying about him is that he is not only super strong in personal strength, but also has extraordinary insight in team building.

There are two types of team coaches, one is good at on-site adjustments, and the other is good at team building. It is difficult to say which of the two coaches is stronger and who is weaker, but the advantage of the team building coach is that he can always form a super team. A strong team, so even if the on-site adjustment is weaker, it doesn't matter.

And Zhang Xin is the leader of the team among the players. He can always integrate every player into the team, teach each player according to the individual, show the strengths of the players, and knead them into a whole. It's enough for the team to move forward, and this is only one aspect.

Another frightening thing about Zhang Xin is: his unparalleled field control ability, his head is always one step ahead of others, and his vision is farther than others, so he is unique in his ability to control the game. LeBron James can only bow down.

Popovich sat on the sofa, looked at the ceiling with his head, and sighed in his heart, why did he meet such a terrible player at the end of his career? It would be great if Tim (Duncan) was there. As the core of my team, I can fight hard with anyone I meet, unlike now if the outside line loses, no one inside can stop Zhang Xin.
