In other words, the Trail Blazers alone can come up with a set of the best lineup, plus a set of the best defensive lineup!

They have Kobe Bryant, the strongest player on their team in the regular season this season!

With the strongest defensive player in the regular season this season, Big Ben!

Richard, the coach with the strongest regular season ability this season!

There are also a bunch of players who have been selected to the All-Star Team, All-Defensive Team, All-Rookie Team, and All-Sixth Team!

Such a lineup makes the teams in the league feel like they want to die.

How can such a team play?!

How can you beat others?!

No one can come, no one can beat, unless the league comes up with an all-star lineup, and then runs in for a year and a half, and then there may be a chance to compete with the Trail Blazers!

But is that possible?! Apparently impossible!

For a while, if you want to ask fans which is the strongest team in the entire NBA history, countless fans will give the same answer, the Portland Trail Blazers in the 1998-1999 season!

The Bulls dynasty is indeed strong, but they have not reaped the honor like the Trailblazers!

The teams must be extremely panicked, but they also know that the Trail Blazers' strength will not last long!

At least next season's Trailblazers, the strength will drop by more than a notch!

There are so many strong players, it is necessary to spend a lot of money to renew the contract, if there is no salary cap, Paul Allen may choose to renew the contract, but now that there is a salary cap, Paul Allen can't renew his contract even if he wants to......

Richard naturally knows this truth, Kobe Bryant is under normal circumstances, when he was with the Lakers, after the rookie contract ended, the Lakers offered a six-year contract of more than $70 million.

Now Richard's salary to Big Ben and Little Ao will definitely be as close to this contract amount as possible.

They all have such strength to get this salary, will Richard bear to let them take a big salary cut?!

Definitely not!

Richard, a traverser, if he can only rely on the salary cuts of his players to maintain the team's competitiveness, then I have to say that he, a traverser, has failed too much!

……

The life-and-death game between the Knicks and the Heat ended with the Knicks making 27 free throws in a single game.

The Knicks naturally won the do-or-die game, as their opponent, the Heat, made only nine free throws in total.

Miami fans were furious, but New York fans were at ease......

Don't look at New York's poor regular season record in the past two years, it has always been the top four in the East, but they have been able to reach the Eastern Conference finals for two consecutive years.

……

On May 31, the schedule for the Western Conference finals finally began.

The attention of this game can be called terrifying, and it directly created a record of ratings in the West!

Even many fans regard this game as the finals.

……

"Guys, why do you feel like you're all a little nervous?" Before the game, Richard looked at the players in the locker room and asked curiously.

Obviously, the Trail Blazers have the ability to play everything at the moment, how can they feel that the players are so nervous, which is completely unreasonable.

"Coach, we're a little nervous!" Big Ben said with a frown.

"Huh? What's going on......" Richard asked, puzzled.

"Because we all want to create a real miracle, a miracle of undefeated season!"

"Whether it's the regular season or the playoffs, it's unbeaten!"

Kobe Bryant said with a grin......

Richard nodded, it's normal to have this thought, let alone a player, even himself, he must also want to create such a miracle.

"We don't know how many players will leave next season, and we want to create a miracle that other teams can look up to before we go our separate ways!"

"In this way, even if we go our separate ways in the future, we will have a common memory!"

The generals said to Richard without saying a word......

Richard smiled bitterly: "Guys, I understand your feelings!" ”

"But don't think about it so much now, our only goal now is to take out the Spurs and win the championship!"

"Don't lose a big one because of a small one, if you want to talk about miracles, our undefeated record in the regular season is already a miracle!"

The generals nodded, Richard was right, their biggest goal now is to win the championship!

It would be hilarious if the Spurs were killed by the Spurs for thinking too much and let the Spurs pick up the championship......

……

The starters for both sides are already starting to play.

Richard looked at the Spurs' starting lineup, and compared to the start of the game, there was not much change, and he was relieved.

The Spurs don't have any roster changes, which means they are still no match for the Trail Blazers.

They might get a win against the Trail Blazers, but they definitely won't be able to win against the Trail Blazers in this series!

Even Richard felt that it would be difficult for the Spurs to win a game......

The starting lineup of the Spurs, with the twin towers plus Elliott, the Junior General, and Bulls veteran Kerr.

It's still too weak on the outside, and Kerr's three-point shooting is accurate, but the defense is not very good.

Because of the defensive matter, Cole was scolded by Joe's gang leader.

However, Cole is also short-tempered and has scolded Joe's gang leader on the training ground......

There are many opponents who have scolded the Qiao gang leader, but the teammates who dare to scold the Qiao gang leader, Cole is the only one of the scorpions.

Even a madman like Rodman has never had a head-on confrontation with Jordan......

The game went on in an orderly manner, and Duncan has grown a lot from last season.

The Trail Blazers played the Spurs in the playoffs last season, and Duncan was still a little immature at that time, after all, it was his rookie season.

And this season's Duncan is even more difficult to deal with.

But Duncan is growing, and Big Ben and Little Ao are not growing......

Especially Xiao Ao, who was at an absolute disadvantage against David Robinson last season, and sometimes had to let Lao Sa come to the rescue.

And now he doesn't need anyone to save the scene at all, and he is enough to deal with the admiral.

David Robinson is a year older, and his strength must have declined again.

Last season's David Robinson still averaged more than 20 points per game, but this season he only has 15.8 points left......

But now the Spurs' outside lineup has not changed much compared to last season, and no All-Star players have been introduced, and David Robinson's score has dropped dramatically, which is purely caused by the decline in personal strength.

At present, Xiao Ao is no longer Wuxia Ameng, and when facing the admiral, he can even play a slight advantage.

These bigwig-level centers are really old......
