2016 has come to June, and the NBA is about to enter the final stage of a season.

For four years, the NBA Finals had a No. 28 player every year.

Then he wore a different color jersey every year and snatched the championship trophy in the finals.

On the opposite side of him, a man wearing a jersey No. 6-23 appeared three times, and returned home again and again.

This year, it's the fourth time.

Three days after the Western Conference Finals between the Warriors and Thunder, the Eastern Conference Finals were also decided.

The Raptors resisted as best they could, but won one game at home and lost the series by a big score of 4-1.

In this way, the Cleveland Cavaliers will meet the Thunder in the Finals.

Durant and Westbrook finally have a chance to get revenge on James.

And James also wants to take revenge on Li Liang, and the two of them really have a deep hatred on the court.

For three consecutive years, he was defeated by Li Liang's men again and again.

The Cavaliers and Thunder also worked together to create the best promotion record for both sides in the Finals.

The two teams have lost a total of one game in a three-round series.

It is enough to prove that the two teams are superior in their respective semi-divisions.

It's just that the strength of the Thunder is a little more terrifying, beating the 71-win Warriors all over the ground.

On the one hand, it has to do with strength and tactics, and on the other hand, it has a lot to do with the restraint of the lineups of both sides.

Almost every point of the Warriors is perfectly matched by the Thunder, and at the same time, the Thunder's biggest weakness is the inside, and the Warriors have no way to fight to the death.

Conversely, the Warriors' weakness — the lack of a ball-handling individual — was perfectly targeted by the Thunder.

The game was cut into a lot of one-on-one.

Curry is in a worrying state due to injury, the bench forward group is useless, and Batum, Iguodala, and Barnes are completely unable to limit Li Liang and Durant.

The Warriors' best player is Klay Thompson, but if he is on the outside, he can't do anything back.

For two years in a row, the Warriors had a championship-level regular season record and playoff strength, but they all came home and died at the hands of Li Liang.

Once died because he hung up, and once because he hugged his thigh.

The era of warriors has not yet begun, and the curtain has come to an end.

Of course, the Warriors still have a chance to rise next season.

They have a young and reasonable roster, huge salary space, and not only do they have no junk contracts, but Curry also has a child labor contract.

So, the Warriors still have a lot to do.

As soon as the Western Conference Finals ended, the Warriors had already targeted Li Liang for next season's recruitment.

It's still the same sentence, if you can't beat it, you can join.

……

Li Liang was preparing for the finals in Russia during this time.

Zhu Shu flew in from Los Angeles to accompany Li Liang through the final series of the season.

For four consecutive years, entering the finals every year, many fans have to have aesthetic fatigue.

Of course, domestic fans in China want Li Liang to achieve four consecutive championships, while local fans in the United States, except for Oklahoma and Indiana, all regions actually support the Cavaliers to win the championship.

After all, what Americans like most is this kind of plot in which the weak defeat the strong, and the plot of successful revenge is achieved.

James has gone from being the "king" of the year to a prince of revenge.

Li Liang went from a wonder boy from China to a big devil in the East.

After the game between the Warriors and the Thunder, the league has begun to notice that Li Liang is destroying the ecological balance of the league.

His extraordinary behavior not only pocketed various honors, but also slowly eroded the cultural foundation of the NBA.

The NBA is a sports and cultural sport, and it needs the support, attention, and recognition of fans.

If people don't identify with the culture of the NBA, aren't interested, can't be substituted, things are bad.

No matter how high the level of NBA players is, the league will not be able to prosper.

It's like if you put together the best people in the world to make an alliance, he can't make it big because there is no cultural appeal.

And Li Liang is simply a destroyer of competitive sports culture.

Originally, because of James, the belief in "loyalty" suffered a huge impact.

The emergence of Li Liang completely subverted this, resulting in young players now following the same example and not taking the team seriously at all.

Everyone was eager to try, and as soon as they felt uncomfortable staying in the parent team, they were ready to leave.

This is likely to be devastating for some teams that are not doing well.

Once the NBA does not have the ability of the bottom team to improve hematopoiesis and carry out a virtuous cycle, the attractiveness of the league will decline, and some local markets will die and be replaced by other sports.

Of course, in the short term, this will not happen yet.

Not only did it not happen, but because of Li Liang's magical performance, the influence of the NBA in the four major leagues increased dramatically.

At the same time, the NBA's influence overseas, especially in Asia, has reached a peak.

In last year's ranking of Asia's most influential athletes, Li Liang, who won three consecutive titles, beat Pacquiao to occupy the top spot.

It's a pity that on the gold absorption list, Li Liang can't even see Pacquiao's ass......

If this guy wants to surpass Pacquiao in wealth, he probably needs to go home and inherit the family's tractor empire.

By the way, the blessing of Li Liang's influence, their tractor import and export business is getting bigger and bigger, and has expanded their business to South America and Africa, and is the world's top tractor dealer.

Of course, Li Liang has always kept silent about this, and he doesn't want people to know that his family sells tractors.

Fast forward to June 2, and the Thunder and Cavaliers finals will be played at the Energy Center.

This is the fourth matchup between Li Liang and James in the playoffs.

The Cavaliers have also been strong this season, with 60 wins in the regular season.

In the playoffs, except for the Raptors who won one home court, no other team could go through four rounds under the Cavaliers.

On the basis of last year's lineup, they recruited Li Liang's two teammates in the Pacers, Double Silly Smith and McGee, which can be said to have greatly improved the strength of the team.

James is still in solid form, while Paul George and Irving are also on the rise.

Just looking at the lineup, the Cavaliers and the Warriors are more capable of fighting the Thunder.

Because the Cavaliers do not have the problem of lack of ability to hold the ball alone.

Irving and James are both top one-on-one masters.

On the defensive end, Paul George and James are right up against Durant and Li Liang.

Between Irving and Westbrook, it will also be clear who is the better No. 1 attacker.

It can be said that the highlights of the finals are no smaller than those of the Western Conference finals.

It's just that people are really worried about whether the knights can go through four rounds in front of the powerful thunder.

It stands to reason that the Warriors will not be swept away, but the sweep still happened.

Before the start of the competition, many reporters wanted to interview Li Liang and ask him what he thought about the finals.

It would be nice if you could hear the word "sweep".

As a result, Li Liang did not speak wildly, on the contrary, his statement was very official.

"The Cavaliers are very strong opponents and it's going to be a tough series. Of course, I'm going to do my best, as I have in the past. ”

This kind of formal speech is really not like Li Liang's style, which disappointed the reporters.

But Li Liang knows in his heart that if it is difficult to deal with, the Cavaliers are definitely more difficult to fight than this year's Warriors.
