The Lakers' 18 consecutive victories in the final stage allowed them to win 51 games.

It was also because of their "incidental" that the Rockets and the Jazz, the enemy who were destined to meet in the first round, did not meet.

What's even more interesting is that the Lakers, Jazz and Rockets all have 51 wins.

How should I rank this? It is naturally a victory or defeat relationship.

The Lakers, Rockets and Jazz are both in regular season matches of 2 wins and 1 loss, so they are at the forefront, which is fourth in the West.

The Jazz also ranks ahead of the Rockets because of their winning or losing relationship, ranking fifth in the West.

The Rockets, with 51 wins, fell to sixth in the West.

Except for the Mavericks, the number one in the West, other teams have not ranked the opponent they want to face the most after the Lakers do this.

The second-ranked Suns in the West were originally for the Lakers. Who knew that the Lakers started a winning streak and jumped from tenth in the West to fourth in the West. Is this increase reasonable?

The third-placed Spurs in the West were originally a benchmark against the Nuggets.

However, the Lakers took the lead and broke the Denver's aft court and ranked sixth. The Spurs saw that it was not good, and they would never want to face the Lakers in the first round. It was not that they could not beat them, but that in such a relaxed and pleasant occasion in the first round, they should not have that intensity.

So they were moved and wanted to overtake the sun in front of them.

Isn't the Phoenix thinking about coming to the Royal City PK with the Lakers? Are you going to avenge last year's lower-blade? Then lose a few games and give up the second place. San Antonio people are broad-minded and fat, and satisfying your wish will not be respectful.

Later, on the road to thirteen consecutive victories, the Lakers fought a shocking league battle against the Suns.

The Suns were knocked down by just three people. Wei Xia and Kobe's backcourt restraint against the Suns reminded them of the disastrous defeat in the playoffs last year.

They couldn't help but reflect, is it really right to look for the Lakers all the way?

What if the story of last year repeats itself?

"The Phoenix Tribune reporter Michael Morrone disclosed: "After reevaluating the Lakers' combat effectiveness, the Suns' coaching staff decided to change their original strategy. From now on, they will strive to win to avoid falling to third place and meeting the Lakers in the first round."

The content of this article was firmly denied by the Suns coaching staff.

Mike D'Anthony said: "We are not against another series with the Lakers."

Steve Nash has not yet settled from last year's failure: "The end of Game 7 often appears in my nightmare. I think I can only walk through that hurdle by beating them head-on."

The old saying goes well, but it doesn’t matter how you look at the truth.

Media revelations and official denials cannot actually be evidence.

The key is how they do it.

If the Suns want to touch the Lakers, they should find a way to lose and fall to third place. Anyway, they can't threaten the Mavericks who are ranked first.

However, the content reflected by the reality is not the same as the explanation of the sun.

They are avoiding losing.

The Spurs were stunned and strongly condemned the Suns' different behaviors, and conducted a detailed study on the Lakers' combat power, playing style, and scout reports.

No one expected that the Lakers would end the season with 18 consecutive victories.

It was the unbeaten record in the final stage that led them to go from tenth in the West to fourth in the West.

The Spurs got rid of the Lakers, although it was still somewhat different from the original plan. They were not the Nuggets or the Lakers, but the Rockets in the first round.

The Rockets are so good. Duncan is a rare inside player in the league that can withstand Yao Zi.

The current McGrady is not the one who is 35 seconds and 13 minutes.

The Spurs spent this tormenting period that made them crazy sit-ups with complicated moods.

Then it's the Lakers themselves, and the first round against the Jazz is good news.

The Jazz is indeed a strong enemy, but they are not a strong enemy that they cannot cope with.

They have many strong points, but their weakest points are against the Lakers' strongest points, which are specially used to restrain the Rockets' frontcourt lineup, but they are not as big as they imagined against the Lakers.

Boozerkirilianko Oku's lineup is a lineup that is stronger than single defense.

But what Kobe likes to do the most is to solve the battle at a high position. The Jazz likes to block the penalty area and drive players to a long distance, which just caters to Kobe's domestic demand.

Therefore, overall, the Lakers' chances of winning against the Jazz are definitely greater than those of the Suns' first round against the Spurs.

There is nothing to say about the teams behind.

The Rockets avoided the Jazz's death entanglement, but it was a big disaster to meet the Spurs. The Nuggets avoided being stabbed by the San Antonios thanks to the Lakers' help. However, looking back at their ranking in the seventh place in the Western Conference, they faced the Phoenix Suns, who were well-manned and championed.

This Sun is not the same as the Sun that was beaten by the Lakers last year.

After all, the most satisfying ones are undoubtedly the Mavericks and the Warriors.

The West is No. 1 and the West is No. 8.

They like each other, and their coaching teams are quite close. When the fight comes, it will definitely be a fight between the left and right.

Compared with the treacherous battle situation in the west, the east is like a piece of white paper, much simpler.

The West can be divided into three major echelons based on the team's strength and record, while the East has only the difference between the upper-class team and the vulgar team.

The top three and fourth to eighth are divided into upper and lower levels.

If you only look at the eighth, ninth and even tenth teams in the East and West, you can see that the gap between the two sides is not big. The ninth place in the West cannot enter the playoffs even if it is in the East. Both sides have 40 wins in the eighth place.

The problem lies in the gap between the upper-level team and the first-tier team in the Western Conference.

The Detroit Pistons, ranked No. 1 in the East, only won 52 games, while the Cavaliers, second in the East, scored 50 games.

Then there are the Bulls with 49 wins, the Raptors with 47 wins and the Heat with 44 wins.

Have you found a problem?

These teams are all third-tier teams in the West, while the mid-tier teams in the West, the Lakers, Rockets and Jazz are all strong contenders in the East, let alone Niu Rima, the first-tier team.

Moreover, Western teams are in such a battle zone and have to play more games between each other. If teams that only win 40 and 39 wins are placed in the East, they may win more games.

The gap between the east and the west is so large that history is rare.

It's no wonder that before the playoffs began, Bill Simmons was clamoring to guess which team in the Western Conference would come out of the chaos and sweep the Eastern Conference champion to win the cup.

The world only focuses on the playoffs between the East and West, while Wei Xia spent the second regular season.

In the 2006-07 season, Wei Xia played 76 games, including 75 starts, averaging 43 minutes and 24 seconds per game, scoring 20.7 points, 6.6 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 2.2 steals and 1 block. The shooting percentage of the three events was 47%, 39%, and 83%.

Compared with his rookie season, his data has been improved in all aspects. He was selected as an All-Star in the second season, completely following Kobe's trajectory back then.

However, Wei Xia was older than Kobe at that time and had better data. What is certain is that he had stronger combat power.

Before the playoffs opened, the Lakers were doing intense training.

The Jazz are unexpected opponents, and they won three games and two wins against them in the regular season can only be used as a reference. The opponent defeated the Bulls in the 1998 regular season double and was defeated in the finals.

The playoffs are another level of confrontation.

Wei Xia is close to Kobe, and he has some problems.

"Stop it." Kobe said with a stern face.

Wei Xia really wanted to fart him and leave, but he had no fart to let him go now. Moreover, after fart, he should not think of hearing any good things from Kobe's mouth today. It would be as difficult to rely on him to solve his doubts as if he heard a Zen master compliment him at a review meeting.

"How do you solve your needs before you get married?" Wei Xia's style of asking people questions is that it is so difficult to talk about. It is always a matter of quickness, accuracy, ruthlessness, burden, foreshadowing, etc., and foreshadowing, etc., just ask and say it directly.

Kobe asked with the ball, "What happened to you?"

"It's Elaine, she's very conservative," said Wei Xia.

Kobe's original face looked like a donkey, and suddenly he smiled: "What did you do to her?"

"That day..." Wei Xia said, "I tried to kiss her, and then she kicked me with lightning speed. Do you know? If her attacking position is 10 cm lower, I will definitely be reimbursed for the season."

Kobe asked gloatingly: "Don't you know she usually practices taekwondo?"

"She never told me!" If Wei Xia knew in advance, he wouldn't dare to take action so easily even if he dug out Kobe's courage.

"Damn, are you really her boyfriend?" Kobe said contemptly, "I even need her to kick you!"

"How did she know if she didn't say it?"

"You won't ask someone to investigate her? You won't ask me?"

Wei Xia said awkwardly: "Aren't I asking?"

"A big ship hit an iceberg, is it useful to ask again?"

Neither Wei Xia nor Kobe noticed it, their topic was already far from going on.

Wei Xia was despised by Kobe for more than ten minutes, but she couldn't stand it anymore, so she kicked the basketball under Kobe's feet to the distance, and then slipped away with her own ball.

"You bastard!" Kobe yelled.
