Why is the Mavericks able to win the series against the Lakers? The lineup is strong and can achieve great things

The competitive environment in the Western Conference will definitely be hot and crazy next season. How wild is it?

Let's put it this way, whether the eight teams that entered the playoffs fell behind or were eliminated first depends more on the team's injury factors, rather than the poor lineup configuration!

and even next season's playoffs, the four Western Conference teams will face off to see the tiebreak battle of four groups, and the winner will be decided in a game that will determine the winner.

After all, looking at the Western Conference reinforcement teams during the offseason, except for the Warriors, the other teams have improved significantly!

Don't forget that the Warriors have two stars, Curry and Butler, and no one doubts the possibility of the Warriors reaching the playoffs next season...

When the Rockets got Durant and became the second favorite to win the championship after the defending champion Thunder, another Texas team, the Mavericks, also rose strongly!

The Mavericks' most proudest move in the offseason is signing Russell.

After all, this 2015-year-old Tanhualang averaged 12.6 points, 5.1 assists and 2.8 rebounds per game last season, and his performance was remarkable.

In fact, the Mavericks introduced Russell to more than just signing a player who can provide reliable firepower output on the bench.

The team's starting point guard Irving is expected to miss 9-12 months due to a torn ACL ligament on his left knee. Russell is enough to fill the gap when Irving is watching from the wall.

Irving was injured in March this year and then had a high-level battle-free sign. He is likely to return in December this year or March next year...

At this time, Russell's role and significance are clear at a glance, right?

It is worth mentioning that the Mavericks used a mini middle class worth $5.7 million and finally signed Russell in the free market with a two-year, $13 million contract. This move is a sure profit.

In other words, Russell can play the starting role when Irving is absent, and after Irving returns, he can seamlessly integrate into the bench and lead the Mavericks' second team to continue to fight the enemy bravely.

Since the offseason, the Mavericks' series of operations have been targeted, and each stroke is commendable.

The team has completed operations such as Irving's contract renewal and Gafford's contract renewal. Now the 15-man roster is likely to change very little.

This lineup is properly configured and extremely luxurious. Not to mention that it is a battle with any league's mighty power next season.

point guards: Irving, Russell, and Brandon Williams;

point guards: Clay, Christie, and Hardy;

small forwards: No. 1 Flag, Marshall, and Martin;

power forwards: Davis, PJ Washington, and Prosper;

centers: Lefley, Gafford, and Powell.

The Mavericks lineup is both offensive and defensive. The Rockets recently renewed Adams and signed old player Capela. Now, the Rockets strengthened the inside line more like to deal with the Mavericks to prepare for the rainy day...

If the Lakers Mavericks meet early in the first round of the playoffs next season, who will win in the 7-game 4-win series?
