This year, the NBA playoffs have seen teams get below the mark, why is this phenomenon?

In fact, it has not only been this year. There have been situations below a few years ago. Butler led the Heat to the finals. Careful fans can also find that since 2020, the NBA regular season ranking has become more and more "watery", and many teams are not very concerned about the playoff rankings.

The training of soldiers and those who adjust the rest will not win any game that cannot be won, but will choose to let the money go. In back-to-back games, I would rather lose the game and let the main players rest than let them play more.

This situation is hard to imagine, and it is difficult to achieve in the era of Iverson and Kobe.

The original NBA did not fall off the line with minor injuries, but now it was a regular season break with minor injuries, which has formed a "consistent rules".

, even Xiao Hua couldn't stand this phenomenon. He made strict regulations on the individual player award selection. He had to play 65 games before he could compete for honors. It was also to avoid preventing various teams from slapping around the league and give players more motivation to play.

However, after real implementation, we found that it would not play much role. The ones who were on the round were still on the round, and there were also a lot of players who were resting. Many strong teams would still be a little careless in the regular season.

The typical example is Cole of the Warriors.

The coach Cole has a characteristic, which is that he likes to test tactics very much. He will play in various ways of playing in the regular season and uses many rotations. The tactical changes are very frequent, which often makes people confused.

Even if he loses one after another, he doesn't seem to care, and it doesn't matter if the team keeps losing.

Many people have questioned his coaching strategy, and the players support him very much. Whether it is Green, Curry or other role players, most of them can understand his decision.

Green Live also said this. He said that the regular season is about honing the lineup and tactics. If you don’t practice in the regular season, will you have to wait until the critical moment of the playoffs to get started? Brother, this kind of thing is impossible.

The Warriors' team culture is like this from top to bottom. Everyone seems to care too much about personal data. They just want to win. As long as it is beneficial to the team, they will do it.

So a strange phenomenon occurs every year.

The Warriors' regular season rankings are bumpy and they strike hard in the playoffs. Every time they are in the playoffs, no one dares to underestimate them. The finals champions have a relatively high approval rating, and everyone will also have high praise for them.

From the actual performance, they can also meet everyone's impression and still have strong combat power.

As everyone's view of the regular season becomes more and more "slightly despised", I think the NBA regular season rankings will not make much sense in the future, at least "not that important". We can attach great importance to the position of the regular season rankings as before.

When evaluating the value of a team, you still have to start from an objective perspective, practicality and combat effectiveness, carefully analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the team, and judge the true level of the team.

Like this year's Rockets, they ranked second in the regular season and were defeated by the Warriors because the team lacked experience and was too young, had abilities, and the players' attitude was also good, but at critical moments, they lacked a high-quality star like Curry.

When the battle requires the stars to stand up, no one said that they can really take on the main points, and the superstars will be relatively weak.

In the following seasons, they need to improve these issues and further enhance their lineup structure and configuration in order to stand out in the fiercely competitive West.

The Lakers' defeat is a sequelae after Doncic's transfer. The introduction of Doncic gave up Thick Brows, and the subsequent center and forward positions did not make timely progress. Ma Wei's trade failed in the middle, and the incomplete lineup structure led to an elimination.

NBA is becoming more and more refined now, and its requirements for tactics, lineups, and player abilities are getting higher and higher. Wherever you have problems, your opponent will target you, seize your weaknesses and fight hard, completely exposing your flaws.

Like the Rockets, the Lakers also need to debug their roster during the offseason.

But no matter what, one thing is certain, that is, we still have to look at it from the perspective of "intensity and confrontation". The more confrontational the team is and the hardness is enough, the ability to play tough battles in the playoffs will be stronger.

Just like the Knicks' lineup, the team has defensive pioneer Bridges, a recognized good player, and Big Head Brunson, an excellent and capable player who can fight tough battles, has proved himself many times in the playoffs.

Plus stars such as Towns and Anunobi, as long as they are healthy and have no major problems, they are just a tough guy in the playoffs, and no one dares to say anything lightly to win.

and the Pistons, this team is also very resilient and their future is promising. Although I lost, my temperament and spirit of playing are moving and left a deep impression on the fans.

will continue to maintain it, and will definitely achieve success in the playoffs in the future. I am also optimistic about the future development of the Pistons.

With such tenacity, you will not underestimate them no matter where you are in the regular season ranking.
