Super Heavy Artillery - v3 Chapter 703

“Super Heavy Artillery (

The Thunder defeated their opponents in the Finals last season on the last day of 2019 and returned to No. 1 in the Western Conference. It is definitely a perfect ending and a perfect beginning.

As the saying goes: New year and new weather. This brand-new Thunder is full of expectations and confidence for the upcoming 2020.

There is naturally more than one team with confidence.

Compared with the beginning of the season, many teams’ positions have changed a lot. But the record leader is always those strong teams that everyone sees. Dark horses like the Grizzlies can only hold the eighth position in the West, not making any progress, and beware of being overtaken by trailblazers at any time. .

Among all teams, the number one in the league has become the Milwaukee Bucks led by Antetokounmpo. They now rank first in the league with a winning percentage of 84.4%.

At the beginning, the Western Conference team maintained an advantage in record. Until early November, the Thunder, Spurs and Nuggets all led the Eastern Bucks. But then, Antetokounmpo led his teammates to a wave of 18 consecutive victories, directly counterattacking and reaching the top of the league.

Following the Bucks is the Thunder. This season’s Thunder is still more or less affected by the departure of Paul George, coupled with Donovan’s mental training of rookie Alexander’s rotation, leading to the Thunder losing some games that have a chance to win. Compared with the same period in the previous two seasons, the Thunder’s record this season has indeed fallen a bit.

But no one thinks the Bucks must be stronger than the Thunder. Even, no one thinks that the Bucks are better than the worse Lakers and Clippers.

The Los Angeles Lakers with James and Davis ranked third in the league with a 73.4% winning percentage. The gap between them and the Thunder is very small, and they can re-top the West at any time. Although the Lakers last season played the fourth place in the Western Conference before the Christmas War, everyone still felt that it was not a stable record. But the overall strength of the Lakers this season is enough to reassure everyone.

I have to say that the Lakers have completely risen. Like everyone said, the Lakers themselves have cultivated young players for so many years, and they are not as good as a deal. This is also the advantage of the Lakers. Being in a prosperous place like Los Angeles has never lacked the attraction to big-name stars.

After the Lakers are the Boston Celtics. Their winning percentage is 72.0%. Fifth is the Miami Heat, the dark horse in the East this season, followed by a 71.3% win rate. Jokic led the Nuggets and also shared the league’s fifth position with the Heat with a 71.3% win rate.

In fact, compared with the previous month, the winning percentage of these top five teams in the league has basically decreased. However, their position is relatively stable.

To the next few places, there are some adjustments.

The Los Angeles Clippers are also the league’s favorite team to win this season. Currently, under the leadership of Leonard and Paul George, he is tied with the Philadelphia 76ers with a 69.7 percent win rate. It seems that the Clippers’ current record is pretty good. However, as the most successful team in the offseason, this level is not good. They should compete with the Bucks, Thunder and Lakers.

But the Clippers don’t seem to care about the team’s record in the regular season. Their goal is only one-the championship. Therefore, in the previous two months of competition, the Clippers will rarely go all out. Rivers is bolder than Donovan in the matter of star rotation. You know, so far this season, Paul George and Leonard have not played many games at the same time! Especially Leonard, he almost had to take a break after playing a game, which not only caused dissatisfaction with the league’s official, but also caused dissatisfaction among the fans. Even within the Clippers, some players are very resistant to Leonard’s “privilege”. This season, the contradictions in the Clippers locker room have been very serious. If Rivers can’t handle this matter, the Clippers are likely to capsize in future games.

The Houston Rockets, Indiana Pacers and Toronto Raptors all have a 67.7 percent win rate in the league’s top ten rankings. However, this is nothing commendable. Compared to the previous teams known as championship teams, they are weaker. Both the overall strength of the team and the performance of the stars are relatively poor.

But the difference here is summarized by news media reporters and those basketball commentators. Based on their performance in the first half of the regular season, combined with their respective winning percentages, the results are comprehensively judged. Most people are satisfied with this ranking, but these people still cannot represent all of them. At least, the fans of these teams, as well as the players and team staff, hold different views!

When the Thunder returned to Oklahoma with a two-game winning streak away game ~www.mtlnovel.com~ is already the first day of 2020.

Oklahoma’s local media immediately spread the incident that the Thunder overtook the Lakers to the top of the West. All of a sudden, the Thunder fans were as happy as Christmas. It stands to reason that the fans of the team that has won two championships have a high vision. The regular season is a warm-up, and the playoffs only really fight.

But the Thunder’s deal with Paul George made everyone’s confidence in this season weaker. What reflects the situation is that the Thunder’s performance in the regular season is much worse than the previous two seasons.

Now, finally reached the top of the West again. The Thunder can finally announce to the world once again that they have never changed their goals.

“No matter when, no matter what we are going through, we will always have only one goal, and that is the championship. To this end, we will give everything.”

This is Anlo’s answer when asked by reporters about his plan for this season after defeating the Raptors. Concise, clear and firm.

Donovan said something similar. That was when the Thunder fell to fourth in the West. The reporter asked him which team was most likely to win the championship this season. There was no Thunder in the alternative answer given.

“I think the Oklahoma City Thunder is the team most likely to win the championship! After all, no one knows how to do this better than us.”

Perhaps, when Paul George left, the Thunder was shaken up and down. But as the season progressed, Gallinari and Alexander’s outstanding performance allowed everyone to regain confidence. No matter how the situation and structure of the league change this season, the Thunder will always play a pivotal role in this league.
