May 20.

Since the Magic defeated the Cavaliers again away from home in the last game, they have successfully tied the total score of this round of series to 2:0.

It is also worth mentioning that after the Magic successfully defeated the Cavaliers away, the third game of the Eastern Conference Finals will be held at the Orlando Arena for the start of the game.

So for the Cavaliers today, this situation can definitely be said to be in danger and life is on the verge of on the line.

On this day, as the Magic easily scored two consecutive games away, the reputation of the Cavaliers has undergone a drastic change.

If it were before this round of series started, most media and fans from the outside world were more optimistic that the Cavaliers could defeat the Magic.

As the total score of the Eastern Conference Finals is now 2:0, the Cavaliers' support rate has dropped from the original 63.1% to 21.7%.

I believe that if the Cavaliers had LeBron James, the league's popular star, then this approval rating would definitely drop to a freezing point.

However, it is worth mentioning that in this year's Eastern Conference Finals, a very interesting scene was staged.

That is, in the two matches between the Magic and the Cavaliers, the current popular actresses in the music industry, Katy Perry and Rihanna are in different camps.

Although the two can be called close friends and have a good relationship in private, the teams they support in this round of the series are so unwavering.

You know, these two people can definitely be called popular actresses in the American music scene today, and they are still close friends who can talk about everything.

So after this round of series starts, for fans, whether it is on-court games or off-court news, it can be said to be full of highlights and makes people enjoy it.

In addition to the Eastern Magic and the Cavaliers in this round, in the Western Conference, the Lakers defeated the Nuggets again in the second game, thus tying the total score of the Western Conference Finals to 2:0.

After the first two games of the East and West Games ended one after another, it seemed to be a big news for the media and it was out of control.

While the finals of the East and West games have not yet been completed, the media have begun to predict which two teams have the best chance to meet in the finals.

If everyone had different opinions on this before, then as both the Lakers and the Magic teams were ahead of their respective opponents with a total score of 2:0.

At this moment, in the media's minds, it seemed as if the overall situation of this year's finals had already been decided, and they began to analyze the respective advantages between the Magic and the Lakers.

Although the team fell behind with a total score of 0:2 in the series, this does not mean that the team no longer has hope of a comeback, but no one in the West believed that the Nuggets could defeat the Lakers from the beginning.

After two games in the Eastern Conference, the Cavaliers lost the game with a crushing attitude.

If there were many experts who supported the Cavaliers to complete the rebound in the future, but nowadays, few people have thought that the Cavaliers can turn the tide without thinking.

After all, in the two games that ended before, the Cavaliers were slaughtered a bit miserable, and even local fans in Cleveland felt that the situation was hopeless.

So under the current circumstances, the chances of the Magic being able to advance to the finals are definitely far greater than those of the Cavaliers.

I have to say that if the Magic really can advance to the finals in the end, then this year, the Magic can be described as miracle.

…………………

In addition to the district finals that are currently attracting much attention, the draw meeting, which is gradually approaching, also makes fans feel very excited.

At the end of May of each year, the league will hold a lottery conference for 14 other teams who have not entered the playoffs to draw lots, giving weak teams a chance to complete freshmen, and thus trying to achieve balance in the league.

According to the league rules, the worse the team's record in the season, the higher the chance of eventually being able to draw the No. 1 pick.

So for some teams that were unable to compete for a playoff spot at the beginning of the season, playing badly has become the best choice on the road to team building.

It is no exaggeration to say that the lottery draw will definitely be a great hope for these bad teams in the league to turn things around.

After all, even popular stars who choose to break out of the contract are few willing to join a bottom team for reconstruction.

Because for free agents who choose to take the initiative to break out of their contracts, in addition to pursuing the illusory maximum salary, it is also very important to compete for the championship.

In this league, the lineups of each team will change some times every year, so once there is a big fish who actively breaks out of the contract in the free market, it will inevitably be raised and snatched by multiple teams at once.

So this situation has led to a vicious cycle of 30 teams in the league, that is, strong teams have always been strong, and weak teams have always been weak.

Even if a team ranks at the bottom of the league for three or five consecutive years, this is not surprising.

Similarly, this is the main reason why the lottery draw will be very important for a bottom team.

After all, when a team is in a loss state for many years, it is impossible to strengthen in the free market.

Then, by training stars by yourself through drafting, this can be said to be a major guarantee for the bottom team to make a comeback.

This year, the worst record among the 30 teams in the league is the Saramento Kings' 17 wins and 65 losses, so in terms of probability, the Kings are the most promising team to draw the No. 1 pick this year.

However, this is only in terms of probability. The Kings are the team that has the most hope of drawing No. 1 picks, but if we start from the actual situation, even the Pacers who rank ninth in the Eastern Conference and have only a 0.93% chance of drawing No. 1 pick.

So the lottery draw for each team is just a heartbeat and a luck...

However, the annual draw can only be participated by the remaining 14 teams that failed to enter the playoffs. As for the remaining 16 teams that have entered the playoffs, they are arranged according to their respective records.

The better the record, the lower the draft pick, and the worse the record, the higher the draft pick.

The two teams ranked eighth in the east and west will be assigned to the draft picks with the 14th pick and 15th pick respectively by who has a better or worse record.

Other teams are arranged backwards according to this mechanism. Similarly, this is why the rookie players selected in the top 14 picks in the first round will be called the lottery pick.

This method is a rule formulated by the league to try to achieve the end-to-end balance, but every team in the NBA league will make a large number of draft picks every year.

Whether it is really for the draft pick or a player trade, the final result is that the draft pick changes greatly every year.

So as long as the team's general manager is in good condition, even if the defending champion holds the No. 1 pick, this is not too strange.

After all, even if the league is at the bottom, there is no draft pick, and this kind of thing has not happened in later generations.

That's right!!

It is the Brooklyn Nets who went alone in the future to get Pierce, Garnett and others!!

I have to say that Angie, the general manager of the Celtics, is really an old fox. In that deal, the Celtics not only won the present, but also the future!!

However, although the lottery draw has been attracting much attention in the past few days, it is really not attractive to the teams that have entered the playoffs.

After all, this has nothing to do with them, because no matter who draws the top scorer, they can't even make a fortune anyway...

And at this time of year, the last regret is definitely the two teams ranked eighth in the East and West Divisions.

Because the chance of completing Black Eight is too small, if the team fights more than six games with the top seed in the first round series.

Then this situation is not a big loss, after all, the team has made several tickets through these games.

If the lottery conference is relatively low compared to the most likely draw, the bosses will feel some comfort in their hearts.

But if the top seed was swept 4:0 in the first round, then this would definitely be a loss...

I worked hard to spend a lot of money and struggled all season, but in the end I got lonely???
