The Thunder fell to the Western Conference finals again, but they are still a promising team, after all, the Thunder are in their prime, and they are far from reaching their peak.

Of course, the Thunder is not without its hidden dangers.

They need to re-sign Serge Ibaka this summer and Harden next summer.

With two superplayers, Durant and Westbrook, OKC's salary space is actually quite narrow.

Oklahoma's comeback is not a big ball market, and the willingness of the Thunder owners to pay will be a crucial factor in restricting the development of this team.

Looking at a championship-level team, the core of the playing year, the energetic rookies, and the experienced veterans are all indispensable.

Taking the Hawks Dynasty as an example, aside from the pervert of Ruan Erniu, Embarrassment, Lunar Eclipse and others are all in their prime, Mike Bibby and Fan Maniac are all league veterans, plus high-quality rookies like Dragic, they can be combined into a team with championship strength.

In this regard, the Thunder's performance in the future seems to be telling, and they have always been unable to retain their core for the sake of profit.

It was in the summer of that year that they traded James Harden to the Rockets after opting to re-sign Ibaka.

Ruan Erniu, who was on vacation at the time, learned the news from the Internet, and Manniu felt sorry for Wei Shao, after all, he gave up the Rose clause to renew his contract for the sake of the team, and the personal sacrifice was not small.

To be honest, the Thunder traded Harden away, which was a big failure, even if because of Harden's trade, the Thunder then got Steven Adams.

For the Clippers, this is great news.

You must know that they are in the west, where they are full of powerful people, and they can be said to have a lot of worries and troubles.

The trouble is naturally that teams like the Spurs, Grizzlies, Mavericks, and Rockets will come out from time to time to do things;

Until Harden was traded away, the Clippers, including Erniu, also breathed a sigh of relief.

The momentum of the Thunder is so fierce, if they resist it for two more years, it is really hard to say how much trouble it will bring to the Clippers.

From an onlooker's perspective, trading Harden away would be tantamount to proving that the Thunder lack the courage to fight for a championship.

Even bastards like Raheem Sterling are willing to pay the occasional luxury tax for the sake of a championship and long-term gain, but Thunder owner Aubrey McClendon is not.

Because he has always been a businessman who cares about sound business. This can be seen from his determination to get the Thunder from Seattle to Russia, and he has never hidden his thoughts in front of the media.

"We bought the SuperSonics, not to keep the team in Seattle, but to move it to Oklahoma. "Moving to a smaller city in the market, the team might have a hard time with agents, but we just had to break even." ”

Such a straightforward announcement of his intentions shows his business philosophy.

By the way, this also annoyed Stern at the time, and the chairman directly issued a 250,000-meter ticket to McClendon.

Needless to say, this intention is not to be said: take care of your stinky mouth, we in the NBA are open to do business, and there are some things that can be done but cannot be said.

In the transaction of Harden, the most injured person is probably Harden himself, who felt the ruthlessness of capital for the first time, so that he couldn't let go of it after becoming the first brother of the Rockets a few years later.

"It was about 4 p.m. and I got a phone call and they only gave me an hour to consider whether or not to accept the contract," Harden recalled, "and I was like, this is the most money I can make in my life, and you just give me that little time to think about it, obviously it's not enough." ”

That same night, Harden received a call from Thunder general manager Sam Presti informing him that he had been traded to the Rockets.

"Sam Presti told me, 'We love you, but we're trading you to the Houston Rockets,'" Harden said, "It was a very, very sad night. After hanging up the phone, I got home, lay down in bed, and cried.

We had a big blueprint, we wanted to win the championship in the next few years, and it all ended too quickly. ”

For Harden, leaving the Thunder not only aborted their championship plans, but also made him difficult to let go of his separation from Durant and Westbrook.

Fame and fortune are not gathered and dispersed.

Even the first active player like Erniu will inevitably be used as a trading chip by the new owner after a serious injury, not to mention Harden, who likes to go to nightclubs.

The only thing worth looking forward to is that the Uchiha Nobo, who has opened the eye of the blood wheel, is about to become the boss of the rocket.

The Western Conference championship ultimately belonged to the Los Angeles Clippers, who lifted the division championship trophy for the fourth time in the fifth season of their career.

With the exception of that season, which was reimbursed due to injury, Nguyen's team has never missed a division final or lost a trophy in a division final.

The first person in the active team is not supported by personal data alone, even if Erniu averages 50+20 per game in a season like Chamberlain, if there is no Hawks dynasty to accompany him, people will often only call him a brush or a cancer meanly, and will not give him the praise he has now.

After talking about the west decision, it is natural to turn our eyes to the east.

The Western Conference finals are all over, but the Eastern Conference Finals are only halfway through, and yes, in the best-of-seven series, the Heat and Celtics are 2:2 in the first four games.

In other words, the two sides are back on the same starting line.

Last season, James had overcome the Green Kai with the help of D. Wade and Bosh and eliminated his opponent with a total score of 4-1 to reach the Eastern Conference finals, and finally lost to the Mavericks in the Finals.

This season, the feud between James and Green Kai continues.

It's strange to say, obviously Erniu and James have always been called mortal enemies by various media, and countless people are saying that the Celestial Dynasty has robbed James of the position of the first active player, but in the actual playoffs, it is the Celtics who have repeatedly obstructed the Cavaliers from advancing.

As the bull ran west, Green Kai became James' biggest obsession in the playoffs.

In G1 in this round of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Miamis at home took the lead.

In this game, Chris Bosh, who was injured in the previous round, did not return to the firing line, and James went straight to the No. 4 position.

As a result, after a fierce battle, James, who was in the low post, ushered in an outbreak, scoring 32 points and 13 boards in the whole game, defeating Garnett who scored 23 points and 10 boards to a certain extent, and helped the team finally win G1 in the Eastern Finals.

The Chosen One is more and more aware of a player like Erniu who is also athletically talented, and is willing to fight with people on the inside.

It can't be helped, the efficiency of the misalignment is really amazing.

Rondo, Pierce and Ray Allen are to blame for G1's defeat, and their inefficiency on the offensive end was the main reason for the team's loss.

Ray Allen, in particular, shot just 1-of-7 from the field and scored six points from the free-throw line, which is clearly not what a giant should be.

Of course, comparing Rondo, who made 20 shots in the game, and Ray Allen, who only got seven shots, people have to turn their attention to the personal conflict between Ray Allen and Rondo.

The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and a new generation is better than the old.

Rondo wants to be on the throne, and the most urgent thing he wants to surpass is not Pierce, the only leader of Green Kai, nor Garnett, who has interests with him on the inside, but only the gentleman Ray who wants to be close.

In addition, Lei's personality is relatively withdrawn, which is easy to make people have bad associations.

It's all well and good if Green can win in the end, but once they lose this series, it's time for the Big Three to break up.

This group of people themselves got together for the championship, but they encountered the bug of Kraft Nguyen at the tail of the peak, and being able to get together for a few years is the result of the patience of the management.

Angie, the general manager of the Green Army, is also well aware that once they lose this series, they really get to the point where they have to rebuild.

G1's loss without Bosh undoubtedly left the Green Army in crisis.

Bosh, who had hoped to return to the court at G2, postponed his return time again.

In other words, since your teammates are so powerful, if you can make it to the playoffs, it will be great!

Not to mention, Bosh doesn't need to be in a hurry, because the G2 Heat have won again.

The ultimate winner of G2 is the Heat, but if you have to pick the best player, anyone who has watched the game will vote for Rondo.

In this game, the Lang giant shot 16 of 24 from the field, shot 2 of 2 three-pointers, and made 10 of 12 free throws, scoring 44 points, 10 assists, and 8 boards.

ON THE ONE HAND, THE OTHER GREEN KAI PLAYERS EXCEPT FOR THE BIG THREE ARE TOO WEAK, AND ON THE OTHER HAND, IN THE HEAT TEAM, JAMES, WADE, AND CHALMERS ALL STOOD UP AT CRITICAL MOMENTS, AND THE THREE OF THEM COMBINED TO SCORE 79 POINTS TO HELP THE HEAT WIN ANOTHER CITY AT HOME.

Bosh didn't come back, and the Heat actually won two home games in a row, which undoubtedly made most of the media no longer optimistic about the Celtics, but the veterans of Green Kai were obviously unwilling to admit defeat easily.

G3 came to Boston, but Chris Bosh stayed in Miami and chose to stay on the sidelines.

In fact, his injury has stabilized, and although it is not enough to recover to a healthy period, he is in a state where he is fully playable.

This is clearly to carry on the lie to the end, and the Green Army said that it will definitely make the Miami people pay the price.

As a result, Garnett, Pierce, and Rondo scored 20+ points in a single game at the same time, while the Heat, in addition to James, who continued to score 30+ efficiently, the Japs and Super Mario, who played well in the last game, performed poorly.

The Greens took advantage of the situation to pull a game back at the North Shore Garden Arena, and the Bostonian saw another turnaround.

The Heat management didn't want Bosh to come to Boston, but after G3, they also found that the Green Army was not easy to mess with.

After thinking about it again, they still gritted their teeth and continued to maintain the original lineup.

G4 was the most tragic game of the series, and the two sides never stopped going beyond the foul line from the moment the game started.

The Green Army had 30+ fouls in the game, while the Heat had roughly the same number.

The two sides were still dead at the end of the game and had to go into extra time.

However, overtime was still a bitter physical confrontation.

The Heat scored just two points in overtime on 1-of-8 shooting, but the Green won the game thanks to a mid-range shot from Rondo and a free throw from each of him and Marquis Daniels.

2:2, when the whole world is not optimistic about Celtic, these old guys used their tenacious performance to bring the game back to square one.

The best-of-seven format has become a best-of-three format, the G5 teams will relocate to Miami, and Chris Bosh is finally back in the team.

To be on the safe side, the Heat coaching staff did not put him in the starting lineup after repeated deliberations, but instead appeared on the Heat's lineup as a substitute.

Objectively speaking, the performance of the Green Army in G5 is actually not good, including Pierce, Ray Allen and Rondo's shooting efficiency is not high, especially in the last game of overtime Rondo, who invested key shots, in this game shot 3 of 15 super undercover data.

Originally, this kind of performance, no matter what, the Green Army didn't want to get out of Miami.

But when Michael Petrus, the X-factor in the Green Army, stepped up and scored 13 points efficiently, while the Heat were all inefficient except for Jenway, the results were reversed again.

That's right, the Greens won their third game in a row, and it was on the home court of the Heat, where Bosh returned.

More importantly, the Green Army led the Heat 3-2 and got the match point early.

G6 will return to Boston, and the Celtics have a chance to play a 4-0 counterattack to win the series.

The Miami Heat, who have no way out, are in a hurry, and the G6 battle can be described as another battle for James.

As a historical superstar, there must be more than one battle of gods in his career, and the 11-12 season of the East Final G6 is undoubtedly such a game.

James shot 19-of-26 from the field, including 2-of-4 from three-point range and 5-of-9 from the free-throw line, to finish with 45 points, 15 rebounds and 5 assists.

Bosh still did not return to the Heat's starting list in this game, but with James's supernatural play, it was enough to help the team win the G6 battle smoothly.

Rondo, who slashed 21+10+4 in this game, did his best, but the three giants of the Green Army, whom he once regarded as a strong shield, were all out of state.

Pierce, in particular, was actually locked up by Caron Butler in the matchup, shooting 4-of-18 from the field, including 0-of-6 from three-point range and 1-of-2 from the free-throw line, scoring just 9 points.

Such an undercover performance deprived the Green Army of the best chance to end the series.

Rondo really played under the Big Three system, so it is not for nothing that Angie has been bent on rebuilding the team with him as the core in the future.

It's a pity that Rondo, who left the Big Three, suffered a lot of injuries, and the shooting ability that he never practiced eventually made him far from the top superstar.

But one thing to say, this is really not as bad as some fans, and it is not too much for Rondo at his peak to call the Green Army giant.

The Green Army, who missed their best chance, paid a heavy price in the end, and the Heat returned to Miami without giving their opponents any chance.

In the G7 battle, Bosh finally found the right feeling in the bench time, scoring 19 points and 8 rebounds in the whole game, which became the X-factor of the Heat.

As for the Green Army, even if Rondo cut a triple-double of 22+14+10, due to the lack of strength from his teammates, it finally turned into a blank cut.

The Heat defeated the Green Army with a total score of 4:3, won the Eastern Conference championship, and successfully advanced to the Finals!
