Thunder, Heat and Lakers
Thunder Durant is already the top player in the league. Needless to say, Westbrook's organizational ability has been greatly improved compared with last year. Don't expect him to play like Nash, because Nash can't shoot like Shao Wei, and he is also a top player in the league. If Harden can be successfully renewed, the second lineup led by Harden will give other teams a big blow. Just watching the Dream Team Olympic Games, it seems that Harden's shooting state is a bit bad, and I believe it will be adjusted in the new season. On the defensive end, Saffron Shayibak, Perkins and Collins spent most of their time defending James. Considering that James is defending, I think Safronsha defended very well. I don't want to talk about Ibaka's blocking all the way to the finals. What I expect most is that Ibaka's CIC has been improving. This year's playoffs, Ibaka hit the buzzer in the last quarter, which made me look forward to it. Perkins was introduced to play the Lakers Twin Towers. Only this year, the Lakers introduced Warcraft. I don't think Perkins can completely suppress Warcraft. But his combination with Ibaka will never let the Lakers Twin Towers do whatever they want inside.
The Heat James All-around Warriors will still play phenomenal games, thinking that James' shooting will be more accurate and will be improved. But whether we can successfully defend the title, I think the performance of the remaining two giants will be very important. Bosh's survival between the two giants is actually the most stable and there will be no breakthrough. As O 'Neill said, he is a good player, but he is by no means a giant who decides the game, so the performance of another giant Wade is particularly important. Flash Wade is getting older and older. This season, we can see that Flash's speed is slower than the finals MVP, and injuries have also greatly troubled him. Personally, it is also for this reason that Wade missed the London Olympics. The extent of Flash's injury plays a decisive role in whether he can successfully defend his title. As for perimeter players like Battier ray allen Luis, they are all veterans, and they may have a brilliant performance in one or two games, but they are still the foil of the Big Three all season. But the advantage of veterans is their strong psychology, such as Miller in this year's finals. Personally, I think ray allen is getting old. For example, being replaced by Bradley at the end of the season is actually not how well Bradley played, but how badly Junzi Lei played. If you like the Heat, you can take these veterans as an X factor. As for the inside, if you meet a weak team, you can also let Bosh play fast and flexible tactics as a center. I don't know if the Lakers can play well if they have dominant insiders like Gasol and Howard. Even if Ibaka and Perkins meet the Thunder after this year's finals, whether Bosh can get a bargain is one of the suspense.
Finally, the Lakers personally think that the operation of the Lakers this year is very successful. Howard is stronger than Bynum Nash and sessions, both of whom reinforce the main lineup. First of all, as a veteran for many years, please believe that Kobe is one year older. Even though the data may drop, I think Kobe will still play the data of top stars. And with Nash this year, I believe there will be a lot less anger like this season. The attack will be more efficient. Nash is not responsible for the offense. But does anyone dare to let Nash's space be three points? The only worry is that Nash's defense may face great defensive pressure in the face of young star Shao Wei. But please note that behind Nash is the tower of Warcraft or Gasol. Even if Shao Wei wants to break through, I think he will have scruples. Not to mention the number one center in the new Howard League. Although he may miss the earlier regular season because of a back injury. But if you can get into the playoffs with enthusiasm. It can be described as unstoppable. As for Perkins champion Chandler, the center of the stake and the meat shield only plays a limiting role. As for defending Howard. Look at his annual salary and you will know that it is a dream. Finally, add that my sister-in-law will not have the shadow of this season's transfer in the new season. And my boss, Kobe Lang, and I are getting to know each other better and better. I believe Gasol's state will pick up this year. As an all-around big man, the cooperation between Gasol and Howard is also worth looking forward to. I can't wait to see Gasol and Howard's aerial relay. And most importantly, with Howard Gasol, the inside pressure will be further reduced. It may help to stay healthy. The only hidden danger is whether the new F4 will have a locker room conflict like the old F4. The previous conflicts were mainly caused by O 'Neal and Kobe Bryant, while Gasol and Kobe Bryant were obviously not. The only possible problem is the boss dispute between Howard and Kobe. But I don't think Howard will be stupid enough to challenge the hero of Los Angeles 10 for many years. So in general, the contradiction in the locker room this year will not be more serious than before. The Lakers have brought more newcomers this year, and it is still unpredictable whether they will use further small transactions. But the nba is a stage to fight for superstars. None of the above four players will play less than 35 minutes in the playoffs. I don't think the new season will be worse than before, so I won't comment.
On the whole, I think the Lakers are slightly better than the Heat without X factor, and the Lakers Heat is better than the Thunder.
