All NBA regular seasons ended the night after the Lakers beat the Warriors.

The rankings of the eastern and western regions have also been successfully released.

The top eight in the east: Celtics, Pistons, Magic, Knights, Wizards, Raptors, 76ers, and Eagles.

Top eight in the West: Lakers, Hornets, Spurs, Jazz, Rockets, Suns, Mavericks, Nuggets.

The playoffs are a four-win elimination system. The first round is the first place vs. eighth place in the East and West League leagues, the second place vs. seventh place, the third place vs. sixth place, and the fourth place vs. fifth place.

The knockout round is until the East and West Championships are decided, and then the East and West Championship teams will play the finals. Teams with higher regular season wins a more home advantage.

The first round of the West's Lakers will face the eighth Denver Nuggets in the West.

The Nuggets are not the Lakers' best opponent, their lineup configuration is very strong.

Anthony, Iverson, Nene, Camby, JR.

Such a lineup depth is also very terrifying.

Although the Nuggets are only eighth in the West, judging from the lineup, it is possible for them to hack the Lakers.

After all, the regular season champion was hacked by the Warriors last season.

The situation in the West and the East is completely different. Those who can enter the playoffs in the West are considered top teams. These top teams have the chance to win when encountering any team in the league.

According to Zen Master's idea, it is most suitable for the Lakers to play the Warriors who do not have enough depth in the inside. The Mavericks are afraid of the Warriors, but the Lakers are not afraid. The Lakers can control them tightly.

It’s just that Zhou Hang’s final victory makes this showdown hopeless.

The Nuggets are very good at offense and defense transformation, and they can compete with the Lakers in talent. If they get in shape, their attack power will be terrifying.

Zhou Hang remembers that there were many grudges between the Lakers and the Nuggets in his previous life.

The defensive editing of Anthony and Kobe's counterattack is very crazy and is also considered to be one of the different scenes of the confrontation between the small ball era and the traditional era.

On the night of the end of the regular season, Zhou Hang also received a system task.

"Task: Follow the Lakers to win the NBA championship, and give corresponding rewards based on their performance."

Entering the playoffs means that the Olympics are getting closer and closer.

Zhou Hang wants to use this time to become stronger.

Winning the playoffs will have more winning points and more rewards. This is Zhou Hang's experience in using the system.

The Lakers and Nuggets' G1 battle started three days later, and the Zen master also gave everyone a day off, allowing the players to breathe for a while.

The night before the holiday, Zhou Hang took Soo Hyun to the Avenue of Stars in Hollywood for a walk, and attended an awards ceremony that had nothing to do with him.

Zhou Hang is very beautiful and is also a well-known star in Los Angeles. Hollywood often gives him some tickets to award ceremony.

Zhou Hang will go and have nothing to do. After all, now he has also dabbled in the film and television industry and invested in his first movie. He also needs to be familiar with some basic things in this circle.

Of course, he is not a visit to those Hollywood actresses with great figures.

After a sweet day with Soo Hyun, Zhou Hang turned his attention back to the stadium.

.........

The playoffs are the battlefield, which is a reminder from Lakers veterans to rookie Zhou Hang.

The Lakers have basically played in the playoffs, except Zhou Hang.

More than one veteran reminded Zhou Hang that the playoffs cannot be played like the regular season, and the cost of losing a game here is very high.

Although the Lakers are very strong, they still have to beware of capsizing in the gutter.

Every opponent you meet in the playoffs will not be polite to them. They will try their best to stop the Lakers from winning.

After entering the training and preparation, Zhou Hang became more diligent in studying and recording videos.

The most obvious advantage of playing in the Lakers is that the players here are very experienced. No matter what questions Zhou Hang asks, senior players will answer them to Zhou Hang.

Zhou Hang asked in the locker room: "Will the playoff fight be punished more severely?"

Fisher replied seriously: "No, the league will consider the ratings and influence, of course, the most important thing is the player's status."

Zhou Hang asked: "If Kobe and LeBron had a fight, will the league suspend them?"

Zhou Hang's problems successfully boosted the atmosphere in the Lakers' locker room.

"Haha, I don't know this."

"Kobe, you can try it."

"The alliance may collect tickets, I will buy tickets to see you two fight!"

"Hahaha!!"

The players in the Lakers locker room all started to laugh, and Zhou Hang dared to joke with Kobe so unscrupulously.

Kobe's face was dark.

Kobe's personality is also affordable to joke. Zhou Hang often does this in the locker room, and Kobe doesn't mind it.

Zhou Hang and Kobe have always had a good relationship.

Kobe also secretly asked Zhou Hang if traditional Chinese medicine has any folk remedies for giving birth to a son.

Although the daughters are cute, Kobe also wants a son.

Zhou Hang could only express his regret that he was not clear. He suggested that Kobe could do test tubes or something.

....

The Zen master ignored the Lakers locker room, and he was discussing playoff tactics with the coaching staff.

In terms of Lakers' tactical arrangements, Zhou Hang is still playing as a substitute.

But this substitute is not a fixed one, and Zhou Hang may be the first to start at any time.

Of course, even if you don’t play in the starting lineup, Zhou Hang’s tactical status is similar to that of the regular season and will not decline at all.

The Zen master hopes that Zhou Hang will lead the substitutes to contribute in the second team.

The Lakers are actively preparing for the playoffs.

The Nuggets are similar, which flew to Los Angeles after the regular season.

They dare not be careless at all when playing games on the Lakers' territory.

Anthony and Iverson both know the strength of the Lakers.

If they don't play a super-level game, they will be eliminated by the Lakers.

Facing the Lakers, Nuggets players also felt tremendous pressure.

......

The media and fans are also preparing for the playoffs.

Hot topics are constantly hyping up.

Kobe VS Iverson, Kobe VS Anthony.

No matter what the counterpoint is, it is exciting.

TNT's Barkley, Smith, and Miller also talked about this series in a show.

TNT's commentators are known for their professionalism and funnyness. They are NBA celebrities, but they often make all kinds of silly remarks. Fans also like to see them chatting and laughing on the hosting stage.

Barkley said first: "Although everyone thinks that the Lakers will spend the first round, I think it's not that easy for them to be relaxed. The combination of Iverson and Anthony's offense is very strong, and their offensive firepower is no less than that of the Lakers. Sometimes they even show more talent than the Lakers. The Lakers lack Andrew Bynum, their inside lacks strong centers, and Nene and Camby are tough insiders. They are not players that Gasol likes to play."

The three commentators chatted for a while and then talked to Zhou Hang.

Smith said: "The competition between JR Smith and Zhou Hang is also worth looking forward to. Both of them are outside firepower players."

Miller smiled and said, "JR can only compete with Zhou Hang when he is crazy, otherwise Zhou Hang will crush him. Look at the scoring data of the two, Zhou Hang's average score is more than twice his."

The media people's views are similar to those of fans. They think that the Lakers will have certain advantages, but their advantages will not be very obvious. Zhou Hang is an important advantage of the Lakers.

Time soon came on April 20, and the Lakers ushered in the Denver Nuggets challenge at home.
