Excellent Live News After the end of the current round of the NBA regular season, a major news came from the league, that is, the Jazz has secured a spot in the top six in the Western Conference by relying on a record of 44 wins and 16 losses so far.
That means they don’t need to play playoffs anymore.
Because the Jazz has won 44 games so far, while the Grizzlies, who are ranked eighth in the West, currently have only 31 wins, and there are only 12 rounds left in the next game, even if the Jazz loses all games
There is no need to be afraid of falling out of the top six in the West. They have a direct advantage over the Grizzlies and Trail Blazers.
This also means that the Jazz will become the first team this season to announce that they have locked in the top six spots, and they don’t need to worry about needing to grab a playoff spot in the playoffs.
The Jazz have become the No. 1 team in the Western Conference from the beginning of this season. They did not expect that they could still maintain this record until the end of the season. 44 wins are not only the No. 1 record in the Western Conference, but also the No. 1 record in the league.
This is also a warning to other teams that they also need to step up their pace to lock in the top six positions in the division.
Friends who may not know the situation are still wondering why there are such things as play-offs in the NBA. In fact, this is a new rule added by President Xiao Hua to enhance competitiveness and enjoyment.
The requirement for the play-offs is that except for the top six teams in the division that can secure a playoff spot, the seventh to tenth teams in the other divisions need to compete for the last two playoff spots through the play-offs.
This is a bit similar to the previous CBA season. Even if the team enters the top eight in the division, they may not be able to enter the playoffs now.
You must know that the competition in the Western Conference has been very fierce in recent years. It is not easy to get a top eight position in the Western Conference. Even the Spurs, which have been able to enter the playoffs for the past two decades, are only ranked in the Western Conference this season.
ninth.
So the rules of this playoff are undoubtedly to give some teams that are suitable for the playoffs but not suitable for the regular season a chance. They can use the playoffs to enter the playoffs and then challenge other teams.
This also caused a lot of trouble for the top six teams in the division. They must always be vigilant against other teams.
And this also prevents many black eights or black sevens from happening again, because now no team has deliberately come to the eighth or seventh position in the division. If there is a play-off, then they are likely to
Will overturn, and thus lose the chance to enter the playoffs.
This makes many teams dare not release water at the beginning of the regular season. They just have to work hard to enter the top six positions in the division to ensure that they can enter the playoffs. Otherwise, the playoffs from seventh to tenth in the division will be quite fierce.
This can be very dangerous.
This also has an advantage for those teams that have already locked in the top six of the division, that is, the teams they play against may need to go through the play-offs, so that they can wait for work.
The Jazz is now likely to maintain the No. 1 position in the Western Conference until the end of the season. At that time, the team they need to play against will go through the playoffs before playing the Jazz, and the Jazz can take advantage of physical strength.
I have to say that this change in the competition system really makes the playoffs more exciting, and fans will look forward to the playoffs even more.
