The Mavericks easily won the game against the Kings on April 4. They completed the sweep of the Kings this season. The two teams played against each other four times this season, and the Kings did not win. Continuing his role as Adelman killer.

Entering April, the NBA regular season of the 03-04 season has entered the final stage. The Mavericks' record at this time is 63 wins and 11 losses. At least for now, the Mavericks have achieved the best regular season results in team history, and every victory in the future will become a new history for the Mavericks.

And more importantly, as long as the Mavericks win any game in the remaining eight games, they will lock in the first place in the league in the regular season in advance. They are still ahead of the Pacers who are currently ranked second in the league. The team won seven games.

A win, which is no problem for the Mavericks, who now look like another dynastic team, lead the league in scoring so far with 115.9 points per game.

Entering the final closing stage, the goals of each team this season have been basically clear. In addition to the Rockets, Nuggets and Jazz in the West, they are still entangled in the 7th to [-]th positions in the West. The bits are basically clear.

The Lakers suffered from injuries after the All-Star Game. Malone, O'Neal and Finley, the main offensive point on the perimeter, all missed the game due to injuries. This caused the Lakers' performance to plummet. They have even been surpassed by the Timberwolves. third place in the West.

With Garnett's strong performance all the way, the Timberwolves have won consecutive victories after the All-Star Game. Although they are still unable to catch up with the Mavericks, they have indeed shown their vitality.

The results of the Spurs are still tepid, but they are still low-key and firmly occupy the top four positions in the Western Conference. With the performance of Duncan, Ginobili and Parker, the entire team is very stable. The victory won will also make any team dare not underestimate their strength.

In the East, the Pacers stand out. Under the command of head coach Carlisle, this traditional strong team in the East maintains its own style of play that drives offense with defense. The team's defensive ability on the outside is the league's best. , which allowed them to firmly occupy the first position in the Eastern Conference. At the same time, after the All-Star Game, the Pacers also relied on stable victories to surpass the Lakers and the Timberwolves to occupy the second position in the league. The Nets behind him have ten more wins and have already secured the No. [-] position in the Eastern Conference.

Ranked second in the East is the New Jersey Nets. With the joining of Jason Kidd and Kobe's more and more mature performance, the Nets have gradually become an upstart team in the East. Kidd holds the ball but does not take much control , On the contrary, under his leadership, the data of Kobe, Richard Jefferson, Kenyon Martin and others have increased a lot. The future of this team is worth looking forward to.

The third place in the East is currently the Pistons. The Pistons performed top-notch at the beginning of the season, but since they played against the Mavericks, they have exposed their flaws. They don’t have enough outside firepower. No matter how good the Pistons’ defense is, they can’t relax. To win the game, basketball is still a sport that compares who shoots more accurately and scores more goals. The championship does need defense, but the championship cannot only be defense.

However, the Pistons acquired power forward Rasheed Wallace in the trade during the All-Star Game. This can be regarded as a reinforcement for the team. After that, he kept his top four position in the Eastern Conference.

This year's Eastern Conference can be said to be relatively chaotic. The bulls, the king team of the year, have been reduced to the point of being broken and rebuilt, and the 4ers, Raptors and Magic with superstars are also not doing well. The Magic has already locked in advance. The last place in the league, they have not won their 1th win until April 20st, and their current winning percentage is only about [-]%.

On the east side, there are some weak teams in the past. Teams such as the Hornets who will be transferred to the west next season and the Bucks in the remote areas have performed well this season. In addition, the Heat are also very worth mentioning. , The team has just started to rebuild this season, but they can now rank among the top five in the Eastern Conference. After the All-Star Game, the Heat have won a wave of winning streaks, and the core of the team, Wade, has also grown rapidly. Needless to say, Stan Van Gundy's coaching level is indeed worthy of recognition, and Pat Riley's management work is also very good.

The current situation of the entire league is still strong in the west and weak in the east. Although the Pacers occupy the second place in the league in the east, the Nets, which ranks second in the east, are currently ranked seventh in the west. , This is enough to see the huge gap between the eastern and western teams, but after entering the playoffs, not the team with the best regular season results will definitely be able to win the final championship. The style of the eastern team and the atmosphere at home are actually To be more adaptable to the playoffs than the western teams, the player's level and physical reserves will not play a big role in the playoffs, and the playoffs will be played more by the teams. Bench depth and will to fight.

On April 4, the Mavericks will face the challenge of the Suns at home. As long as they win this game, the Mavericks will lock in the number one position in the league in advance.

In the American Airlines Center arena, some Mavericks fans have already put on the team’s playoff support costumes in advance. The white T-shirts reflect the solemnity of the entire stadium. Mavericks fans have already started to adapt to the playoffs in advance atmosphere.

The Suns have basically lost hope of the playoffs. D'Antoni began to rebuild the team after taking charge of the Suns. Stephen Marbury's departure made room for Nash's top position. D'Antoni valued Nash very much , He is a coach who advocates running and bombing tactics. D'Antoni feels that if the team wants to really rise, it must have a point guard who can pass the ball. Nash fits his requirements.

However, the Suns' tactics are still in the running-in stage, and Nash doesn't need to adapt to the tactics anymore. After all, he has played running and bombing when he was in the Lakers before, but the rest of the Suns need time to digest the head coach's requirements.

An unformed bombardment team meets a mature Mavericks, and the result is already doomed.

After Liu Han locked Nash, the Suns' offense stagnated, but the Mavericks' offense could go on without hindrance. After all, there is no player in the Suns who can prevent Liu Han.

In the end, the Mavericks easily defeated the Suns 124 to 103, and they locked the first place in the league seven games ahead of schedule.
