After watching the game, D'Antoni said: "The opponent is the Clippers, let's discuss it." ”

Everyone said a few words this time, and the idea was basically the same, the Clippers are not easy to play against, there are great players at all positions, there are two All-Stars, and Crawford can also be considered a second-rate star.

Zhou Xuan was the last to speak, and said lightly: "I think we are better than the Clippers in all aspects." It's recognized that I'm better than Paul, and Chris is better when it comes to pick-and-roll. Defending Al in the low post did well in the first three rounds, and Griffin was limited when he attacked in the low post. On the swing side, they mainly rely on veterans, we have the advantage of physical fitness and vitality, and we have pitchers over threes, but unfortunately they can't shoot three important rotation players inside. Playing fast break is our forte, and we can use shark slashing tactics to deal with them, and Jordan makes poor free throws. More than experience, we have more players than they have played in the finals. So you don't have to worry about it at all! We will win! ”

Tactically attach importance to the enemy, and other aspects despise the enemy, morale is a boast to put it bluntly, praising the opponent to the sky, at most it is just a blow to the confidence of the players of the team, how to fight or how to fight. There's nothing wrong with a relaxed mentality in the finals, just fight in action.

D'Antoni smiled: "Well, I also think that they will definitely be able to beat the Clippers, not only the strength of the team, but also some statistics are not good for them." For example, the Sixth Man Spell. ”

The players laughed. In the history of the NBA, since the 1982-1983 season, the Sixth Man of the Year award has been awarded, and it is strange that only 4 of the 30 players who have won the 6th Man of the Year award have won the championship with the team, and the other teams have all collapsed, many say it is a curse.

In previous years, the regular season MVP was also known as the curse, but that has been completely broken by Zhou Xuan.

After the meeting, everyone went home. With two days off, they host the Clippers.

This season, the NBA Finals format has changed, and teams will be more on the move, while home-court advantage may be weakened.

The 30 owners of the NBA voted unanimously to implement a 2-2-1-1-1 format for the NBA Finals starting in 2014. The 2-3-2 format, which has been in place since 1985, is history.

When the finals are tied 2-2, there is a general feeling that it is unfair for a team with a better record and home advantage to play Game 7 on the road. In addition, it is not fair to let the team with the better record stay away from their parents for eight days and three consecutive away games.

It's now believed that the new format will not only balance the competition but also align with other playoff series, so it's easy for the bosses to buy in.

The above can only be regarded as a trivial matter, and the lottery that has ended is amazing.

Before the lottery draw, many NBA experts believed that the lottery process could be boring, because the Lakers and Celtics, two traditional giants, had a good probability of winning the lottery by playing badly. The Celts had 8. 8% and the Lakers have 6. 3%。

For such a traditional powerhouse, the league is likely to take care of it. Especially for the Lakers, Kobe Bryant is the guarantor of the ratings.

If the Lakers select Wiggins, then after Kobe Bryant's retirement, the problem of the Lakers' new star is solved. Although Jeremy Lin has played well this season, no one wants to see Jeremy Lin become the boss of the Lakers, so that the Lakers can return to the playoffs in the year of the monkey? Wiggins has the body of a superstar despite his skills.

People are not as good as heaven, not only did the traditional two powerhouses miss the champion sign, but the alliance's "rotten supreme" also failed to pick up the cheap.

The Bucks, who could be assigned 250 combination results, and the 76 people who could be assigned 199 combination results, were only drawn to the top eye lottery and the probe lottery, respectively. The top pick was taken by the Cleveland Cavaliers, who were only assigned to 17 combinations, making it the third time in four years that the Cavaliers have won the top pick in four years, after 2011 and last year. Although they chose a parallel trade last season, they shouldn't make the wrong choice this year, Wiggins's fame is too big, and a fool will choose him.

Irving, Bennett, Bagnani, Wiggins...... As long as there is no trade in the summer, the Cavaliers will have four top-pick teams next season, as well as two high-pick rookies in Thompson and Waiters, which is unprecedented in history.

The Cavaliers have won the top pick three times in the past four years, creating a magical record while breaking the hearts and grief of fans of other teams.

Someone took action and filed a petition on the White House petition page in the hope that the FBI would investigate whether the NBA lottery draft was "black box".

The content of the petition reads: Since James left, the Cavaliers have won the first prize three times in the past four years, and after Chris Paul was traded, the Pelicans also got the first prize very "coincidentally", and the FBI should monitor those lottery balls, whether there is anything suspicious.

The White House will accept 100,000 signatures on the page by June 19, but only 17 people have attended by last night.

Maybe it's a coincidence, the ball is round, anything can happen, it's just that the Cavaliers' luck is too good, the record in the past two years is really bad, Irving has good statistics, and lacks leadership temperament. The Bulls had a very low chance of selecting Rose that year, is it also shady?

A lot of things have changed this season. The All-NBA and All-Defensive Team weren't revealed until just before the Grand Finals. Perhaps for more suspense, or perhaps because people prefer to measure stars in terms of playoff performance, the league decided to take in the recommendations, and the All-NBA was judged much later.

The five selected for the best first team: Zhou Xuan, James Harden, LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Joakim Noah.

Harden was actually selected to the first team! As soon as the news was released, doubts were endless. The Rockets, who had Harden and Howard in the playoffs, lost to the Warriors and fell in the first round. The consensus is that Harden, who has a loose defense, is the culprit of the Rockets' playoff disappointment.

But that didn't stop Harden from being named to the All-NBA First Team this season, and he became the first Rockets player to be named to the All-NBA First Team since 1997. ESPN expert Ethan Strauss was the first to write an article pointing the finger at Harden, and he said bluntly: "Picking Harden on the first team was definitely a wrong choice. While his offensive stats are good, he is indifferent on the defensive end. ”

In some people's eyes, Monta Ellis is better than Harden.

Two teams of five: Howard, Griffin, Bosh, Curry, Paul.

The three interior players were selected for the second team together, and there is also some controversy, is Bosh a small forward? Looking at his offensive style, it's a bit similar, floating outside and shooting all the time.

Three teams of five: Al Jefferson, Love, Paul George, Parker, Lillard.

The three-team was also fraught with controversy, with Westbrook not being named to the All-Match team. Although he has missed many games, many people think that he is a super guard second only to Zhou Xuan, better than Paul, Curry, Harden and others. It's like he's forgotten.

The most outrageous thing is that Aldridge and Pelicans interior Anthony Davis have both played the best numbers of their careers and are doing well on the defensive end. It was Lefu who was selected for the three teams, but it was Lefu who was outside the playoffs, and according to Lefou's data, it was beautiful and unforgettable.

No way, the best team is voted for by 125 journalists from the United States and Canada, and impression scores are important. Many reporters feel that the overall strength of the Timberwolves is too poor, and the role players are dragging down Lefou. Just like Garnett who was with the Timberwolves back then, sooner or later he will have a dazzling record, or sooner or later he will be traded......

As the Defensive Player of the Year, the Bulls' Noah leads the All-Defensive First Team with the highest score, marking the second consecutive year that Noah has been named to the All-Defensive First Team.

The remaining four players in the best defensive team are Paul George of the Pacers, Sergi Ibaka of the Thunder, Andre Iguodala of the Warriors, and Zhou Xuan of the Warriors.

Zhou Xuan's selection of the best defensive team is full of controversy, and some fans say that this is the most selected for his steals. In terms of rebounding, Zhou Xuan has less than two. And now Zhou Xuan is not responsible for defending the outside core in the Knicks, and that job is Leonard's.

The All-Defensive Team was voted on by 123 sports journalists and commentators from the United States and Canada, and Zhou scored 154 points. Looking at the data, Zhou Xuan beat up all the people who were in the opposite position, including Paul, Westbrook, Curry and other stars.

Others are not controversial. Ibaka is the Thunder's inside gate; George averaged 1 per game. With 89 steals, he ranks fifth in the league and is one of only one to average at least six steals per game this season. 5 rebounds 1. 8 steals of players; After Iguodala joined the Warriors, the Warriors' defense improved dramatically, and the average points conceded per game rose from 19th last season to 10th.

The five players selected for the All-Defensive Second Team are: James, Paul, Jimmy Butler, Leonard, and Roy Hibbert.

The most surprising, 10. 8 points 6. 6 rebounds 2. Hibbert, who had two blocks, was selected with the lowest score in the second defensive lineup, and rebounding king Jordan Jr. and block king Davis both cried and fainted in the toilet.

It is said that the data does not reflect it, and Hibbert props up a defensive system. Looking at Hibbert's performance in the playoffs, he supported the opponent's defensive system, with him, the opponent can compress the defense as much as he wants, and then make the Pacers guard unable to break through, and finally the score is suppressed within 90 points per game.

Although it was said that the defense was overrated, Zhou Xuan was still very happy with the bumper harvest of personal honors. Compared to Paul, he doesn't feel overrated, just to be safe, he doesn't go inside to grab rebounds. He can face the final finals with a happy mood.

Zhou Xuan knew that Paul definitely wanted to beat him to prove himself and win the first championship of his career, and he would not let Paul succeed.

At home, he listened to music and recalled all the information about Paul, where he shot well and where he shot low, his habits when defending, the odds of passing to each teammate, and the odds of shooting at each position. He went through all the information in his mind.

Zhou Xuan had a way to make Paul uncomfortable. And Paul, who also studied Zhou Xuan's information, couldn't remember all of them after he read them, and he couldn't remember much on the field.

Compared with Zhou Xuan, although Paul has outstanding skills and excellent passing awareness, he is just an ordinary person.
