The fighting in the west is fierce, but it is far inferior to that in the east.

The eastern side is the real Shura field!

It's not that the Eastern Conference teams are stronger, but that their strengths are too close.

The probability of occurrence of the following grams is much higher.

First up, Bulls vs. Magic.

This is recognized as the least suspenseful matchup in the Eastern Conference.

Although the Magic's inside combination of Millsap and Gobert has advantages even against many top teams, their outside line is too poor!

Even if the Bulls don't defend, they can still be shot to death!

Zhou Si could only silently light a candle for Millsap.

Facing the Bulls, they really have little hope.

Cavaliers VS 76ers.

Here comes the interesting start.

Suspense has begun to arise from this set of duels.

To be honest, although the wing combination of James and Kawhi suffocated other teams in the league, the 76ers really didn't have no chance at all.

You must know that their two teams are ranked second and seventh, but the difference in record is not big.

Moreover, after trading Fultz for Butler, the spirit of the 76ers has changed!

The 76ers are also strong, but they always fall behind at critical moments.

After having Butler, the 76ers really became tougher.

Besides, although Butler and Simmons are not as good as Gianka on the front line, their losses are limited. Coupled with the "Great" Embiid inside, everything is still unknown!

This round of duel, most people in the media think it will last about 6 games.

Bucks VS Raptors.

The Raptors' injuries this season have affected their poor record, but even so, their record is not much lost to the Bucks.

Considering the historical experience of the Raptors sluggish in the playoffs and the Bucks' Antetokounmpo being targeted and restricted in the playoffs, the performance of the two teams' second leaders in this round of the series is very important.

The duel between Lowry and Towns is likely to be the winner.

In this round of matchup, most people in the media think the Bucks can advance, but the Raptors also have a great chance of defeating them.

They have the same point of view, that is, this series is likely to reach a tiebreaker.

Nets VS Celtics.

The Westbrook and Pickled Peppers acquired from Zhou Si's trade initially made fans think they were pretty good.

But after playing for a while, fans discovered...

They are no longer the championship team last year!

With Iguodala and Howard, plus Westbrook and Pickle, the Nets' defense really didn't lose much. What made the fans uneasy was their offense.

Let’s not mention Iguodala and Howard for now.

Westbrook's three-point shooting percentage of about 30% is not an indication. You must know that Paojiao, who has been praised by fans before, often plays an amazing rhythm in one quarter and an extraordinary rhythm in three quarters.

According to ESPN statistics, McCollum has become the player with the highest true shooting percentage among the Nets' starters.

Their offense was really urgent.

On the other side, the Celtics are somewhat similar to the Nuggets.

The youth army headed by Tatum has begun to emerge, and combined with the system created by coach Stevens, they have become a force that cannot be underestimated in the Eastern Conference.

Although the hard power is not as good as that of the Nets, if the Nets' offense continues to be powered down, they will not have no chance of defeating them.

This showdown is full of suspense!

…

The day before the playoffs started, there was an interesting episode at NBA headquarters.

It may be said to be a minor incident, but in the eyes of many fans, it is a major event related to the future of the team.

According to NBA regulations, teams whose records are tied during the season will determine the team's draft lottery order by tossing a coin.

As we all know, the higher the lottery pick, the greater the chance of getting the No. 1 pick and improving the pick, while the positions of picks 15-30 have already been determined.

Therefore, this small coin toss is likely to affect the future of the team!

On the same day, NBA officials conducted a coin toss ceremony.

NBA officials also held a live broadcast and invited a notary.

Xiao Hua likes to operate behind the scenes, so he cares more about moments like this that can reflect the NBA's "fairness, fairness and openness"...

After all...there are not many opportunities!

Moreover, guessing coins is really not easy to fake...

After all, the losing party will not cooperate...

Closer to home, in the lottery, the Hawks and Suns have the same record, as well as the Lakers, Pelicans and Grizzlies, as well as the Hornets, Heat, and Kings.

There are many teams with the same record, so this coin toss has attracted the attention of many fans.

After some preparations, representatives of the corresponding teams came on stage to compete amid the nervous anticipation of the fans.

After much deliberation, the final result came out.

In the lottery, the Hawks defeated the Suns in a coin toss and finished second. The Lakers, Pelicans, Grizzlies, and Mavericks ranked 6-8, and the Hornets, Heat, and Kings ranked 9-11.

Lakers fans who had been waiting in front of the TV for a long time laughed wildly and then went crazy on the Internet.

"Lakers championship!"

There is a 1/3 chance that they will be ranked seventh, which is a good start for the offseason!

As the coin guessing ends, the specific results of the draft lottery are also announced.

The specific results are:

1. Knicks 2. Hawks 3. Suns 4. Wizards 5. Mavericks (top five protection, not the top five will go to the Hawks) 6. Lakers 7. Pelicans 8. Grizzlies (top eight protection, not the top eight will go to the Celtics)

Owned by the Celtics) 9. Hornets 10. Heat 11. Kings (the first pick is protected, if it is the first pick, it will be owned by the 76ers, otherwise it will be owned by the Celtics) 12. Pistons 13. Clippers (lottery area)

Protection, the non-lottery area belongs to the Celtics) 14. Pacers

15. Timberwolves 16. Magic 17. 76ers 18. Raptors 19. Nuggets 20. Celtics 21. Jazz 22. Nets 23. Rockets 24. Bucks 25. Spurs (lottery protected, owned by Cavaliers) 26.

Warriors 27. Cavaliers (top 20 protection, owned by Spurs, from Leonard trade) 28. Trail Blazers 29. Bulls 30. Thunder

The second round will be postponed in this order.

Some are happy and some are sad.

However, all this has nothing to do with many playoff teams.

After all, they still want to seize the present more than the future.

For example, on the same day, the Timberwolves head coach, who had gone to Oklahoma City in advance to start training with the team, accepted an interview with reporters after the training.

As the son of Timberwolves' meritorious head coach Saunders, Saunders Jr., who has become the league's youngest head coach, appears ambitious.

"The Thunder are one of the best teams ever, but someone is going to beat them, and it's going to happen!

Whether it’s another team or us, there is always someone who will do it!

We have to approach the series thinking, 'This is us.'"

Sanders Jr. also said that the team will not lower its expectations for him because of his youth.

"We don't allow that word to be spoken a lot because, just because you're young, that doesn't mean you don't know how to win.

You are young and have unlimited possibilities!”
