Chapter 709 2014~2015 NBA Championship (Fourth Update!) )
The Pelicans' season is over, but the NBA playoffs continue.
The battle between the Cavaliers and the Warriors in the Finals is still in the spotlight.
The Cavaliers were missing Love and had a bumpy road to promotion, but they finally advanced to the Finals.
Whether James can continue his two-game winning streak has become important.
The same goes for the Warriors, whether they can beat the Cavaliers and regain glory after 40 years is also a big thing to see.
Tang Tian took care of Olsen at home and was also paying attention to this round of the finals.
This year in history, the Cavaliers also met the Warriors in the playoffs, and the final result was 2-4.
But reality and history are somewhat different.
Irving is not injured on the Cavaliers' side, and thanks to the hard training of the brothers, he has performed better than in history.
And the lineup is a little different, with neither Shampert nor Smith there, and Waiters being their starting point guard.
It's the same with the Warriors, where Thompson is playing better than ever, and Curry hasn't been injured in the playoffs.
So what will happen in the end, Tang Tian doesn't know.
In this case, this first game becomes crucial.
After a three-day break, the first game of the finals kicked off at Oracle Arena.
The Cavaliers opened the game with a ...... It was spent by the Warriors.
The form of the playoff team has a lot to do with the opponent, and the Warriors and Pelicans played a series of games, and the whole form was off the charts.
The outside line of the Cavaliers simply can't stop the Splash Brothers.
It was only then that fans discovered that the Pelicans' outside defense turned out to be so good.
In the end, the Warriors beat the Cavaliers 125-101 in the first game and won the first game of the Finals.
James and Irving scored 33 and 37 points, respectively, and the two combined for 70 points, but the others combined for 31 points.
After the game, there was a lot of talk from the fans, but the focus of the discussion was not the game itself.
"I'm sorry, I underestimated the strength of the Pelicans, they turned out to be so strong!"
"There is no harm if there is no comparison, if it weren't for Davis being fouled, the Pelicans would have played a tie-break with the Warriors, and it is not certain who loses and who wins, compare it to the Cavaliers...... I can only say that the west is strong and the east is weak. ”
"I now think the Pelicans will really be a blockbuster next year, their core lineup will not change, but the core will become stronger, they will definitely be the favorites to win the championship next year, no, the favorites to win the championship!"
……
After a Finals game, fans are most concerned about the Pelicans, who have been eliminated, which is also unprecedented.
However, this also shows the difference in strength between the Cavaliers and the Warriors.
In fact, it's not just the fans, TNT's ratings show that the value at the beginning of this game is close to the first game of the Pelicans.
But then it went all the way down, and at the lowest point, it was less than half of the high peak.
And this is only in the United States, and the ratings in overseas areas are only 2 percentage points more than last year, which is still bleak.
After watching the finals, Tang Tian basically knew in his heart that the Warriors would lift this year's championship trophy as in history.
Because his travel history has changed a lot, but the Warriors have been minimally affected.
If they manage to win this year's title, they will most likely have the same record of 73 wins or even better next year.
If the Spurs and Heat were the strongest teams in the league before, then the Warriors and Cavaliers will be the Pelicans' biggest competitors next year.
The second game of the finals was played at Oracle.
As Tang Tian and the outside world expected, although the Cavaliers played well as role players in this game, they scored nearly 50 points.
But in the end, they still lost 110-121.
With two 245-point scoring games by the Warriors, the Cavaliers' defense is really a bit ugly.
Even though the Cavaliers are still shouting about a comeback, everyone knows they're going to be the backdrop.
Tang Tian had already guessed the result, but he didn't pay attention to it anymore.
In addition to taking care of Olsen and training, the rest of his time is spent keeping an eye on houses all over New Orleans.
In the middle of last season, they said they wanted to buy a new house, and now that his season is over, they have to look at the house in advance.
Because Olsen was pregnant, the estate they bought certainly couldn't be freshly renovated, and they could only buy second-hand ones.
However, this second-hand is different from second-hand houses in the general sense, and many of the estates in the United States are bought by rich people as investment and are not used.
So this second-hand is actually the same as new, and because it has been put for a long time, there are no problems with formaldehyde, which is still very suitable.
Just when Tang Tian was paying attention to the house, the third game of the finals between the Cavaliers and the Warriors had already been played.
The Cavaliers beat the Warriors 108-97 to pull one back at home.
This result surprised Tang Tian a little, he read the comments on social media, and then went to watch the video of the game.
After reading it, he fell into deep thought.
The referee was the dominant factor in the game, and the Warriors were blown a lot of moving blocks in this game, which was not seen in previous games.
This change in the scale of blowing penalties has greatly reduced the offensive efficiency of the Warriors.
The matter of moving the block and dismantling is just like when the Pelicans fought the Warriors before, if you don't blow it, you don't blow it, and if you blow it, you don't have much to do.
It wasn't this that made Tang Tian ponder, but he felt the referee, or the ability of the alliance to control the game.
The 4-0 sweep in the finals lacks highlights, and the league is forcing the plot.
As in history, referee reports allowed the referee association to finally compromise the league.
Tang Tian returned his attention to the finals.
Game 4 was still played on the Cavaliers' home court, and the referees were still very tight about moving pick-and-rolls.
But this one, the Warriors showed their ability to adjust and outperform the Cavaliers' overall strength.
They eventually defeated the Cavaliers 113-103 to make it 3-1.
Tang Tian also felt something after watching this game.
As long as it's strong enough, what about 5 to 8!
Referees can influence the game, but if the difference in strength is too big, they can't help.
So you can't make excuses for losing the championship, the only reason is that you are not strong enough!
After the first four games, the fifth game between the Cavaliers and Warriors returned to the Warriors' home court.
The fans were packed, and the mood was extremely excited.
Losing a game in Cleveland isn't necessarily a bad thing, at least they have a chance to win the title at home.
James went berserk in a desperate situation, and this game hit a super-sized quasi-triple-double of 43 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists, but he still failed to lead the team to victory.
Curry's back-to-back three-pointers at the last moment killed the game, and the Warriors won 110-105, eliminated the Cavaliers with a total score of 4-1, and won the NBA championship in the 2014~2015 season!
