Teams that can challenge Miami Heat for the Championship in the next season: NBA Special (Part-2)
Los Angeles Lakers:
The Los Angeles Lakers are also getting themselves ready for the upcoming season and they have been planning to make an effective strategy against all the top teams in the National Basketball Association (NBA). The Lakers’ management
also know as they have to face a very tough competition in the next NBA season. However, the Miami Heat is threatening many teams with their lethal combination of LeBron James, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh and this threat also alarmed the Lakers to do some quick
hard-work for their upcoming season.
With Kobe Bryant alone on one side of the court, the Lakers still has very good chances to outplay any side in the league, but somehow the Lakers’ management has decided not to push Kobe hard this time around. The Lakers’ new head
Coach Mike Brown has also planned a different strategy for the entire roster.
Against the Miami Heat’s trio, the Lakers are preparing Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, Lamar Odom and Ron Artest to bring their best game. These four players are not only highly talented, but they are also very experienced players and
can give tough time to any opponent. The Lakers were pretty athletic in the last season, but lost their thrust in the post season where they could not stop the Mavericks and eventually lost in the Conference Semi-finals. On the other hand the Mavericks went
all the way won the Larry’O Brien Trophy.
Orlando Magic:
The Orlando Magic has one of the most lethal players in their roster that can surprise any team in the league. Dwight Howard, who is gifted with many basketball skills, can challenge the Heat with great offensive ball play. The
Magic’s top management is also relying on Howard to outplay the Heat in the next season.
The Howard factor also worked for the Orlando Magic in the last season and their management is still sticking with that very plan that led the Magic into the playoffs. Throughout the 2010-2011 season, the Magic performed wonderfully
and played like a one unit.
The Magic qualified for the playoffs as number fourth seed from the Eastern Conference after winning 52 regular season games. The Magic faced the Atlanta Hawks in the first round playoffs, but could not perform up-to the expectations
and lost the series with 4-2. The Hawks were better in the first round and Orlando could not able to stop their thrust and lost bitterly.
However, the Magic is preparing hard in this summer to overcome the deficiencies which proved fatal for them in the last season. The Orlando Magic management is also keeping a close eye on all the other teams as how they are preparing
for the next season. Many teams including the Miami Heat could give them hard time in the upcoming season but the Magic are not showing any fear against their opponent.
Instead, the Magic are planning a great strategy against the Heat. They know as the Heat’s trio of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh are very quick and to stop them they need to focus on their defence. The Orlando Magic
is still a great side and if they achieved their strategic objectives against the Miami Heat, they can certainly challenge the Heat in the upcoming season.
