After the first round of the NBA playoffs, the Magic and the Trail Blazers staged a black eight miracle, defeating the first-ranked Bucks and Lakers in the East and West. Not only did many fans wonder if these two teams would stage a black eight. Myth, weed out two favorites to win the championship.
is not afraid of big things from the point of view of fans. But why has there been so few black eights in the NBA over the years? The chance of an upset is still very small. From the perspective of team strength, the Trail Blazers and the Magic are not as good as the Lakers and the Bucks and . This can be seen from the regular season record. Why the Lakers and the Bucks rank first in the two divisions. Both teams are ranked first. Eight.
NBA playoffs set a seven-game four-win system is reasonable. In the first game of the playoffs, the strong team is not ready to lose. It is normal, but the playoffs is not a set of wins, but four wins in seven games. In the next game, it is much more difficult for the Trail Blazers and Lakers to continue to upset than in the first game.
, as the Lakers and Bucks before the start of the playoffs, will inevitably have the psychology of underestimating the enemy, and it is inevitable that the team is not prepared to lose a game. But the loss of the first game will make them nervous, and the result tells them that no team can easily win. I believe that as long as the Bucks and Lakers adjust in Game 2, the Blazers and Magic will not have a chance to win.
The Trail Blazers won the Lakers in the first game. They won on three-pointers. The three-pointers happened to be the advantage of the Trail Blazers. They made 13 of 34 three-pointers and made 38.2%. The Lakers also lost by relying on , James, and heavy eyebrows to break through and hit the basket. In addition, outside shooters did not feel the touch, the team only made 5 of 32 three-pointers. They were not wronged. James is not the kind of player who plays alone. Although the pitchers did not feel in the first game, it will not affect his continued passing. Although some players can't, but now the Lakers can play a lot of pitchers. Pop and Green are impossible. The field is so inaccurate, I believe that as long as the Lakers' outside shooting percentage returns to normal, the Blazers will have no chance at all.
The Bucks lost in the first game because they did not defend well. Antetokounmpo played normally with 31 points, 17 rebounds and 7 assists. Cevic scored 35 points and 14 rebounds. The Bucks are the best defensive team in the regular season. It is not their normal defensive performance to lose 122 points. The playoffs are all about defending. If the Bucks limit Vucevic's victory in the second game, it will not be difficult.
So I predict that the Lakers and Bucks will not have too much trouble in the second playoff game. The Trail Blazers and Magic will also be able to win this game. Their strength is impossible to stage a black eight. The Lakers and Bucks are still The biggest favorite of the championship.
