With the end of the regular season, the rankings of the East and West have also been determined.

In the playoffs for several years, the strength and weakness are still obvious, and the Phoenix Suns, Houston Rockets and Utah Jazz are still falling.The Houston Rockets, which are determined to revive this season, failed to continue their strength at the beginning of the season. In the middle and late seasons, the team fell into a power struggle between Jeremy Lin and James Harden, and the team's head coach also participated in it.

There is also a Western team, the Orleans Hornets. Although they have the No. [-] pick, they have not improved the team's record as expected and are still at the bottom of the Western Conference.

Although the strength of the teams is obvious, the confrontation between each other is still relatively strong, especially the teams at the bottom of the ranking are thinking about whether they can perform a miracle of a dark horse, and they are lucky to be defeated strong team.

The matchups for the playoffs are as follows.

East: New York Knicks-Milwaukee Bucks, Miami Heat-Indiana Pacers, Atlanta Hawks-Brooklyn Nets, Chicago Bulls-Boston Celtics.

West: Los Angeles Lakers-Dallas Mavericks, Oklahoma City Thunder-Minnesota Timberwolves, San Antonio Spurs-Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Clippers-Memphis Grizzlies.

In this year's playoffs, more attention will be paid to the Eastern Conference. Whether the New York Knicks, who have risen strongly this season, can beat the Miami Heat and Boston Celtics, which have a Big Three lineup.The Nets, which moved to Brooklyn, are also very capable this season to challenge the position of the Eastern Conference champion.As for the West, it is obvious that the Los Angeles Lakers are thriving. Although other teams are also very strong, it is almost impossible to pick the Los Angeles Lakers from the overall situation.

The media and experts from all walks of life are unanimously optimistic that the Los Angeles Lakers and the New York Knicks can sweep their opponents in the first round. Both have great advantages in terms of strength.

The 2012-2013 season playoffs really kicked off on May [-]st, and the game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Dallas Mavericks was also the earliest start today.

"We have only one goal, and that is to sweep our opponents! You have to let the guys from Dallas know what strength is! My request to you is to beat your opponent by at least [-] points today. I believe this is nothing to you Problem." Lakers head coach Mike Brown mobilized his players in the locker room before the game.

On the other side, the Dallas Mavericks locker room.Rick Carlisle stood in the middle of the locker room, also doing pre-game mobilization. "I know that our performance this season is not very good, and it was only through bumps and turns that we made it to the playoffs, but I want to tell you that all this is not your fault. It can only be said that our previous bad luck, always It's hard to guarantee the health of the full lineup, but right now, we are all here. Although we are not as good as the Los Angeles Lakers on paper, our configuration is indeed the most reasonable. The most reasonable lineup is far more than the most gorgeous The lineup is trustworthy! Regardless of whether you win or lose this game, I ask you to play your own style."

First up is the Dallas Mavericks, whose starters are center Chris Kaman, power forward Dirk Nowitzki, small forward Shawn Marion, shooting guard OJ Mayo, point guard Darren Collison.However, it is not cheers but overwhelming boos to welcome every Dallas Mavericks player on the field, especially when their global star Dirk Nowitzki is on the field, the boos are more than all the boos before. Even bigger.

However, for old players like Dirk Nowitzki, the impact of these boos has almost reached the point where they don't care. They are not rookies who have just debuted, and they still have this psychological quality.

Then came the appearance ceremony of the Los Angeles Lakers.The team's substitutes and marginal players play first, followed by the main substitutes and starters.When Kobe Bryant played, the fans chanted MVP at the same time, as if they could overturn the entire arena. Even outside the arena, the cheers inside could be clearly heard.

Although Kobe Bryant's various statistics have declined this season, his efficiency and shooting percentage have created new career highs.And no matter how far Lin Fengzhe and Li Yifeng have grown, as long as Kobe Bryant is still on this team for a day, he will be the boss of this team!The urban hero of this city will be Kobe Bryant!There is no dispute about this, and no one will question it.

Even though the media is always saying that Kobe Bryant will have conflicts with Lin Fengzhe and Li Yifeng, the pair of Lakers twin stars, and the two sides can only keep one, but that is just a fantasy.Leaving aside that Li Yifeng followed Lin Fengzhe, even Lin Fengzhe had no idea of ​​becoming the boss of the team. As an out-and-out lazy person, how did Lin Fengzhe save trouble? What extra responsibilities did he want him to take on? , that is really difficult for some strong people.

The starting lineup of the Los Angeles Lakers is center Li Yifeng, power forward Pau Gasol, small forward Lin Fengzhe, shooting guard Kobe Bryant, and point guard Steve Nash.

Li Yifeng and Chris Kaman are preparing to jump the ball in the middle circle, but this is really nothing to watch. With Chris Kaman's old arms and legs, it is no problem to let Pau Gasol directly jump the ball .

Li Yifeng easily gave the basketball pat to Steve Nash to organize the offense, while he ran to the frontcourt to settle down.

Steve Nash dribbled the ball into the frontcourt, stood outside the three-point line at the top of the arc, and observed his teammates.Darren Collison defends Steve Nash inside the three-point line and holds out a hand to disrupt Steve Nash's line of sight.

Steve Nash waved to Pau Gasol, then pointed to the floor on the front right, motioning for the other side to cover himself.Pau Gasol understands, mentioning Steve Nash to set the position.

Darren Collison naturally saw Steve Nash's actions and had already prepared in advance, but when he really faced Pau Gasol's screen, the defense was still a bit delayed.Steve Nash took this opportunity to break inward.Dirk Nowitzki and Steve Nash misplaced the defense due to Darren Collison's out of position and Pau Gasol's step-up screen.

Facing the defense of the German chariot, Steve Nash did not choose to go it alone, but threw the basketball back to Pau Gasol without looking at it.Pau Gasol, who received a pass back from Steve Nash, did not stop the ball and passed it to Kobe Bryant at [-] degrees to the right.

Kobe Bryant caught and shot, and the basketball spun into the hoop.Even though OJ Mayo, who defended Kobe Bryant, has tried his best to defend, Kobe Bryant's shot point is very high, and this ball also added a back, so he can't help it when he arrives behind To interfere with Kobe Bryant's shooting, you can only try your best to straighten your arms to prove that you have worked hard.

The Los Angeles Lakers' first offense was simple and fluid.First, use Steve Nash and Pau Gasol's pick-and-roll to successfully get rid of the opposing defensive player and cause a dislocation defense, then pass the ball back and use Pau Gasol's good coping ability to pour the ball to the outside to have an open opportunity The outside player completes the final procedure of the offense.

The tactics of the Los Angeles Lakers are simple and effective. Although both Lin Fengzhe and Kobe Bryant ran out of space just now, Kobe Bryant, as the leader of the team, has given up a lot of shots this season. Always give Kobe Bryant the first shot.

Darren Collison received a teammate's baseline free throw and quickly advanced to the frontcourt.Facing the defensive black hole Steve Nash, he easily found an opportunity to drop the basketball to the team's boss Dirk Nowitzki.

After receiving the pass, Dirk Nowitzki turned and faced Pau Gasol's defense head-on. After pretending to attack to attract the attention of the defenders, he suddenly threw the basketball to the left three-point line Certain OJ Mayo, because Kobe Bryant divided some of his attention on Dirk Nowitzki, so the defense of OJ Mayo was a bit careless, he did not have time to defend, he could only watch The opponent made a jump shot from outside the three-pointer.
