Chapter 379: Discussion before the finals

Suns players leave the court from the away lane.

Steve Nash and Stoudemire have once again failed to reach the Western Conference Finals, and if nothing changes in the future, this will be the last time they will stand on the stage of the Western Conference Finals in their entire careers!

In the end, these two superstars could not escape the tragic outcome, just like Stockton and Karl Malone, who were still a few steps away from their ultimate glory.

Maybe it's a little different, the Utah duo did their best to lose to God, while the Suns lost to this era of talent.

"The Bucks and the Lakers, who will be the final championship of the season!"

After the birth of the Western Conference champion, the only remaining suspense in the entire league is the ownership of the championship, and before the official start of the finals, ESPN also invited 5 experts to make predictions in advance for the finals.

"The Bucks are going to win the championship, and I'm sure that's going to be the final thing in the near future! Of course, I don't mean to look down on the Lakers at all, they are great enough, this is the third year in a row that they have reached the Finals, and they beat the Bucks in terms of experience alone, and judging from the whole process of the playoffs, the Bucks won too easily in the East! I can't imagine a team like this going to be beaten by any team this season, including the Lakers, and I don't think they can beat a Bucks like that! ”

"I would choose the Bucks, I don't want to discuss any comparison of team configuration or team strength, because these are not the basis for my judgment, I think there is only one reason why the Bucks will win, and that is that the Bucks have Yi, his performance this season is so impressive, I believe that as long as he exists, the Bucks will not have much problem in front of any opponent!"

The two experts who spoke first supported the Bucks, which made the Bucks get two votes at once, but it is a pity that the Bucks' final support votes stayed at these two votes, and the remaining three experts all supported the Lakers' success:

"The reason why the Lakers look difficult is because the overall strength of the West is stronger, you must know that the top eight in the West this year, the number of wins is more than 50 games, and the teams with more than 50 wins in the East are only the top four in the East, which is destined to make the Bucks' road to the playoffs itself easier than the Lakers!"

"The Lakers are the third team in a row to reach the Finals, and they have better experience with the Finals, especially the ability to handle the ball in key moments, and I believe that the Lakers will win the championship with their better ability to handle the ball in key moments! And what about the Bucks? They only made it to the Finals this year, and they are likely to be easily eliminated by the Lakers, just like last year's Magic, who will become a mess after their normally winnable tactics fail! ”

"The current state of the Lakers may only be really felt by the team that has played with them, and more fans will also feel the horror of this team after the Lakers beat the Bucks, as for now, I just want to say that the Lakers will definitely win, and the Bucks will be beaten back after Game 1 of the Finals, and their dominance in the East proves nothing at all!"

The main arguments of the three experts who support the Lakers are that the Bucks are reaching the Finals for the first time and do not have enough experience in the Finals, and the overall level of the East is much worse than that of the West, and the Bucks' easy advance does not objectively represent how strong their dominance is.

In short, the final result was 3 to 2!

More experts still believe that the Lakers will win the championship this season!

Judging from the entire fan comments after the meeting, most fans still agree with this conclusion, the Bucks have really played well this season, and their dominance in the East is also top-notch, but now it is no longer the playoffs, but the finals! The Lakers can't find any shortcomings in terms of team cooperation, squad depth, or superstar configuration at key moments, or even experience in the Finals, and the Bucks are breaking the sky, this is also their second time in the Finals after 35 years, for this stage, they are newborns, and this is enough to be fatal!

"Yi, this should be the first time since you entered the playoffs this season that you have not been favored before the start of the series, I wonder if you have anything to say about these remarks from the outside world?"

"Well, I think that's normal, if it were me, I would support the Lakers before the game, and then when the Bucks win the championship at the end, I will stand up and say that I am a fan of the Bucks!"

Yi Jianlian made an amazing statement in this pre-game interview, obviously making him a little angry that most fans in the outside world are not optimistic about him and the Bucks!

Of course, from the perspective of Milwaukee fans, Yi Jianlian should indeed be angry.

We had a regular season MVP, we broke the NBA record for the best regular season record, and we only lost one game before we made it to the Finals!

Such a team is still not favored, how can this not make people angry!

In their opinion, Yi Jianlian's answer was very relieved and domineering:

"That's right! Yi is right, anyway, we can't stop these people from running along to celebrate the Bucks' championship together, and now what they say is actually not a big deal! ”

"Haha, fight back beautifully, easy, swell the faces of these guys again!"

"Can I say I prefer this kind of plot? From not being favored to the final counterattack! That's what I wanted! ”

Of course, more fans think that Yi Jianlian is a little too arrogant:

"It seems that the Bucks' easy promotion in the East made this guy think that the Finals are nothing more than that, Hua Xia Yi, let me remind you, there is a price to pay for underestimating the enemy!"

"Shut up! Huaxiayi, you haven't won at the Staples Center this season! ”

"I'm sure it's going to end up being a joke!"

***

The discussion about this game is getting louder, and the first game of the finals is getting started.

The bradley arena has seen a resurgence in the auditorium, and many Milwaukee diehards have come to the arena with their own cheering equipment.

Just look at the way they gritted their teeth when they entered the stadium to see how hostile they are to this Lakers team.

OK, another group of fans in the league is born who are completely aimed at the Lakers!

Speaking of which, the Lakers are indeed hated, born in the most prosperous city, and the team with the second highest number of championships among so many teams in the league, they can seduce the core of other teams to vote every three or five times, and they can easily complete the rebuild, don't you say it's annoying? Well, of course, nine years later, the Lakers have lost that last trait.
