Since the NBA playoffs, two teams with championship appearances are the strong teams who can fight tough battles

NBA playoffs are in progress and the third game in the second round has been held.

The scores in the second round are as follows:

Cavaliers 1-2 Pacers, Celtics 1-2 Knicks;

Thunder 1-2 Nuggets, Timberwolves 2-1 Warriors.

Although 8 teams advanced in the first round, their promotion process is different, and the performance of each team has different differences until the second round. So which teams have more championship appearances?

What kind of team has a championship appearance?

First, you must be able to fight tough battles. The team can win more games with close points and the team can also play dominant performances on the away game. Only when the team can they play hard battles.

The second is to maintain relatively stable. Stability does not mean that you cannot lose, but that you cannot lead a big score and be reversed.

In summary, these two teams are actually the ones with the most championship appearance.

West: Nuggets, Timberwolves.

Although the Nuggets narrowly defeated 4-3 in the first round, it may be because the Clippers are indeed relatively strong. Where does the Nuggets’ championship manifestation?

1. You can win away games. So far in the playoffs, the Nuggets' away winning rate is 2 wins and 3 losses, and they have won away games in both rounds of the series.

2. You can win at critical moments. The Nuggets played 10 games, including several matches with a close score difference. In the first round, the Nuggets made a steal and killed the game; in the fourth round, the Nuggets made a buzzer-beating and dunking, the first round, the Nuggets made a three-pointer, and the third round, the Nuggets tied and won overtime. The only game I lost was the second game in the first round, and I was stolen and killed. In the match with the close score, the Nuggets won 4 wins and 1 lost.

3. The Nuggets' lineup is stable. Jokic, Murray, Gordon and Porter were all the main players who won the championship that year, and they also have rich experience.

In addition to the Nuggets, the Timberwolves are actually underestimated.

Timberwolves staged a Black 6 miracle in the first round, easily defeating the Lakers 4-1. The Timberwolves won 2 away games in three away games in the first round, and the away winning rate was very high.

Although the Warriors got a good start in the second round, the Timberwolves adjusted again in the second game, equalized the big score, and won another away game. So far, the Timberwolves have only lost 2 games, and the scores in both games were below 90 points. In other words, the Timberwolves are still lacking in quality and may occasionally be silent, but the overall offensive end will not be bad.

And the other two teams in the West, the Warriors have too obvious shortcomings. They were won by the Rockets in two consecutive games in the first round, and coupled with injuries, it is difficult to win the championship.

Although the Thunder is the first record in the regular season league, their performance is not stable. It is difficult to play the Grizzlies away in the first round. They were once led by the Grizzlies by 29 points in one game, and narrowly defeated the Grizzlies who did not have Morant in one game, and lost in overtime in the away game in the second round.

East: The Knicks and Pacers have poor lineups.

In the Eastern Conference, the Cavaliers and Celtics' performance in the second round were shocking. They lost all of them at home and were both facing the dilemma of 0-2 at home. In particular, the Celtics, who were reversed by 20 points in two consecutive games, was indeed completely inseparable from the championship.

Although the Pacers advanced 4-1 in the first round and led 2-1 in the second round, they were still not stable enough overall. The Cavaliers won 22 points in the first home court in the second round. The same goes for the Knicks, who suffered a crushing defeat at home in the third game.

In terms of performance, the Pacers and the Knicks exceeded expectations, but the lineup will be worse, and the Knicks fought well in a tough battle.

They eliminated the Pistons 4-2 in the first round. The first game was a 21-0 rebound in the fourth quarter. The third, fourth and sixth games were all narrowly won, and the score difference was within 3 points.

They led the Celtics 2-1 in the second round, and they were all major reversals of 20 points behind in the first two games, and they were all defensive victory at the last moment.

means that the Knicks played 9 games, 5 of which narrowly won at the last moment, 1 of which was reversed, and the other one of which was lost at the critical moment. Like the Nuggets in the West, the winning rate of the game was very high.

The Knicks' advantages are Brunson and Towns on the offense, Harden, Bridges, and Anunobi on the defense. At critical moments, everyone dares to play and everyone contributes. The only hidden danger is injuries and physical fitness. If the Knicks stay healthy, there is hope, but they rely too much on the main force.

Generally speaking, the Nuggets and the Timberwolves are the most championship-winning ones, while in the East, the Cavaliers and Celtics have the advantage in lineup, but the Pacers and the Knicks are leading, which is indeed a bit contradictory. In the East, the two-group matchup, the four teams may have the same chance of winning.
