Chapter 400: Knight Champion!

When James, who is hungry for the championship, meets Paul, the banana boat brother who is also eager for the championship, a fight between brothers is inevitable.

Of course, both James and Paul are shrewd people with high IQ and emotional intelligence, and it is impossible to really fall out because of the championship, but on the surface, in the finals, the two seem to not know each other, and refuse to answer any questions about each other in the face of media interviews.

This is obviously what smart people should do, whether the relationship is good or bad, they represent their respective teams, and avoiding suspicion is the wisest thing to do.

The Cavaliers vs. Clippers Finals, the whole process was not very intense.

Facing the Cavaliers of the Big Four, the Clippers were at a disadvantage from the opening game.

The Clippers were taken away by Wang Xiao and Jordan Jr., and at the same time, the weakness of the front line has been unable to make up for it.

This season, they have received Pierce and a certain amount of reinforcement up front, but the firepower that the aging Pierce can provide is extremely limited.

(Originally Paul. Pierce joined the Wizards before the start of the 14-15 season, and only went to the Clippers in the 15-16 season, but the Wizards here are too strong to need Pierce at all, so Pierce joined the Clippers who need a forward in advance. )

In the Western Conference finals, Pierce looked very weak against Durant, and now against James, the situation has become even worse.

……

The Cavaliers took the lead in back-to-back two games at home to tie the series to 2-0.

The Clippers then pulled one back at home, but before they could rejoice, they lost their second home court.

After the total score became 3:1, James did not give Paul and the Clippers a chance, and in the fifth game, he slashed a triple-double of 46 points, 14 rebounds and 11 assists, leading the Cavaliers to a neat 4-1 victory over the Clippers to win the cup.

When the whistle blew for the end of the game, James burst into tears of joy.

It's not easy! It's really not easy.

Looking back on his bumpy career, he has almost always spent it in failure.

The pride of the sky, the basketball emperor is so miserable! And if it weren't for the injury of Curry, the star of the Wizards, it would be difficult to win the championship this year.

After the game, James, who averaged 35 points, 8.5 rebounds and 9 assists per game in the finals, won the Finals MVP award.

It is worth mentioning that the regular season MVP was also awarded to James after the Eastern Conference finals, which is the third regular season MVP trophy in James' career.

The regular season MVP award to James has caused some criticism, after all, James' personal performance and the Cavaliers' record this season cannot be said to be perfect, especially the Cavaliers have the Big Four and rank among the top few in the league in terms of salary and salary.

But this is obviously an affiliate's marketing strategy.

Curry has won the regular season MVP year after year, which is already aesthetically fatigued, and the Wizards' record this season is definitely a decline rather than an improvement compared to last year's 73 wins.

As for the stars of other teams, Durant, Paul...... It's not much the same as James, and there won't be a particularly noticeable gap.

When the Cavaliers eliminated the Wizards and advanced to the Finals, the ownership of the championship was basically determined, and the league intended to package and promote James, so it gave him the regular season MVP, so that James is the double MVP of the regular season Finals this year.

Although there is only one championship, this championship is enough to improve James's historical status a lot, and it can also greatly drive the NBA's market economy.

Wang Xiao doesn't care who the regular season MVP is for, anyway, he can't give it to the rookies in his team.

After the finals, the NBA draft was in full swing.

In the past, the draft was when Wang Xiao showed his talents.

With the advantage of the Traveler's foresight, he can easily select players with unknown potential.

But not this year.

The rookies of 2015 were generally of average quality.

Although there is also Anthony. Downs, "Boshen" Kristaps Porzingis, Russell, Rozier and other excellent players, but these players are basically proper lottery favorites, and the draft will basically not fall out of the top 10.

This year, the Bucks only have one draft pick at the end of the second round, and there is no maneuverability at all.

Even so, this year's draft still has an extremely important relationship with Wang Xiao.

Because Wang Xiao's two disciples, Chinese students studying at Harvard University in the Ivy League, Cheng Jie and Wang Meng both announced their participation in this year's NBA draft.

In the past two years, they have inherited Reggie. Miller & Ron. The Artest growth template duo has caused a bloody storm in the NCAA, and basically all young players who have played in the NCAA have been abused by these two.

Or rather, he was abused by the Harvard Huaxia Three Kings.

Harvard has become the NCAA's Wizards.

The strength of Cheng Jie and Wang Meng has been praised by the media more than once, and many scouts even bluntly said that even if these two people enter the NBA directly without any training, they can become extremely good instant combat power.

As soon as the news of the two participating in the draft was announced, it immediately attracted the attention of many teams.

For a time, even the original champion Lang Anthony. Downs' position as the top spot is also in jeopardy.

Everyone is speculating whether the champion is Cheng Jie, who has outstanding projection ability, or Wang Meng, who has a strong defensive style.

But Wang Xiao knows very well that Cheng Jie and Wang Meng may not be able to become champions.

NBA scouts are not dry food, through the daily training and games of rookies, they can see a lot of things, such as Cheng Jie Wang Meng's skills and characteristics are very mature and have been finalized, even if they enter the NBA for professional and systematic training, it is difficult to improve qualitatively.

The upper limit of the two is the all-star level, and they want to get one step closer to becoming a top superstar.

In contrast, the original 15-year-old champion Downs has a lot of uncertainty, or rather, this is a treasure boy, after a little polishing in the NBA, he is likely to become a top superstar, of course, it may be just a waste wood that can't hold up the wall.

But in any case, a stock with potential for development is still more attractive than a stable stock that has stabilized and has no prospects for improvement.

Sure enough, the Timberwolves, who got the top pick, did not choose Cheng Jie Wang Meng, but chose Anthony. Towns.

Chinese players are not popular with all teams.

The owners of the Timberwolves don't look down on the Chinese market that Chinese players can provide for the team, and they prefer Mr. Tang, a potential stock.

Immediately afterwards, the Orlando Magic, who held the second pick, won Cheng Jie.

Seeing this, the third-ranked piston snatched Wang Meng.

The Nuggets took Porzingis with the fourth pick.

I don't know if there is providence in the dark, the Lakers' draft pick fell from the original second pick to the sixth pick because of the butterfly effect, but relying on the No. 6 pick, they actually signed D'Angelo Russell, who could only be won by the original No. 2 pick.

The draft is over, everything is settled, and Wang Xiao is no longer paying attention to NBA affairs.

The next Bucks have some operations, such as signing Klay in free agency. Thompson, but that's also the job of the general manager of the Bucks.

Wang Xiao and Thompson have reached a verbal agreement, if the general manager of the Bucks can't even handle this matter, then it is better to really be a mascot.
