Chapter 528: Before the Finals (Anti-Piracy Chapter, I'll Watch After One Point)

With the Mavericks beating the Thunder to become champions in the West.

The final Finals opponent of the 2010~2011 season also came out, the Mavericks vs. the Knicks.

This result is estimated that not many people in the entire league could have predicted it at the beginning of the season, a belly of the East that has been mired in mud for the past few years, and many experts have called it a team that no matter which team can get back up, it can't get up; There is also a team that has played well in the regular season every year for the past four or five years, but has always dropped the chain in the playoffs and disappointed!

Before the start of the season, almost no one would believe that such two teams would have the last laugh this year, after all, this season's NBA was in the spotlight before it began, because this year, the Heat team formed the "Big 3", everyone thought that the NBA was finale, but they didn't expect that this year's NBA was far crazier than they thought! Yi...... This guy who was called the league's No. 1 star by ESPN before the start of the season, he actually transferred to the Knicks, and Carmelo Anthony's trip to the east, the strong rise of Derrick Rose and the Chicago Bulls, and the rise of the Thunder's three young people have added too much to the excitement of this season.

Of course, there are still no fans who think that there will be any problems with the final result, no way, the Miami Heat is a team composed of three superstars, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh this year, how can such a team not enter the final finals, how can it not win the championship!

Therefore, more fans actually think that there is no suspense in the playoffs in the East, the Heat will definitely enter the final Finals, and the only suspense is in the West!

Who will be the last person to fight against the big devil, and who will be the last obstacle to the big devil, this is the only suspense that many experts believe in this year's playoffs!

But no one expected that the Miami Heat would fall in the second round of the playoffs!

It's fortunate that it climbed to the third place in the East, and if it is seventh in the East, I'm afraid the Heat is likely to be a round trip!

If that's the case, Wade will also be slapped in the face at the speed of light!

If you look at it this way, then the Heat team is actually not miserable, although they did not win the championship, they did not win the championship, but they did not reach the second round, and fulfilled Dwyane Wade's promise of "this is my last season first-round tour", they really did not have a first-round tour, this time they are second-round rounders.

Of course, since it is really a first-round tour, Dwyane Wade will not attract too much public outrage, no matter what, LeBron James, who "defected" last year, is the target of everyone's fire!

It was the New York Knicks who came out of the East this year to pick them out!

This team also surprised everyone and became the hero who finally killed the "public enemy of the United States"!

"This team has finally been pulled out of the quagmire!"

This is the evaluation of the Knicks after the victory over the Heat, but even the "Sports Illustrated" did not expect that the Knicks were not only pulled out of the quagmire, they also soared directly to the top stage of the NBA!

"All these changes are because of the existence of Yi!" Everyone brought the voice of praise to Yi Jianlian!

No way, Yi Jianlian is really amazing!

"What else can he not do that man who can save New York?" This is a god comment on Twitter, and it is also a sentence that has been gradually put on the lips of many experts!

But in fact, it is not only Yi Jianlian who has completed the rescue of the team this year!

Kevin Durant also finally fulfilled what he should have fulfilled this year, bringing the Thunder, a team that had just relocated to Ohla Homea City, to the height of the Western Conference Finals, which is a height that even the Thunder's predecessor, the SuperSonics, has not reached in the past 7 years!

And although this team lost this year, everyone knows that this team will definitely have a more brilliant future in the future, and in 07, 08, and 09 for three consecutive drafts, the three newcomers selected by the Thunder will gradually become the best players in their position!

All experts are convinced of this, and all experts see the trend in this regard!

Kevin Durant, who was already averaging 33 points per game last year, needless to say, Russell Westbrook has also become a league-leading point guard who can average 20 plus 7 plus 5 per game this season, but looking at the data, he is not even much worse than Derrick Rose, well...... At least it's not the kind of gap that is too big to overcome, what he lacks with Derrick Rose is probably only the ability to decide the game at the critical moment of the game!

It takes a certain amount of time to hone in and all the experts believe that he can change himself for the better!

Yi Jianlian has a certain skepticism about this, he knows what kind of changes will happen to the Thunder team in the next few years, if there are no huge changes in the future, then this Thunder team will become a team of Turtles in the future, and he has indeed grown into the best No. 1 position in the league, averaging triple-doubles per game for three consecutive seasons! To say that many players in the league have such an ability, it is really unfair to the turtle!

The simplest question is that not everyone is Adams, who can tolerate losing nearly 1,000 rebounds in three years!

At the same time, not any manager can tolerate Russell Westbrook not taking the initiative to attack in order to score points!

Well, who made this the team of the Turtles? Who made this the city of the Turtles?

There's nothing wrong with that!

But the most critical problem is that from what Yi Jianlian knows, Russell Westbrook's data increase is so exaggerated, but his ability at the critical moment of the game is still criticized.

Yi Jianlian is also skeptical about this, whether Russell Westbrook really has the ability to become a team leader!

If you really want to look at the results of the team, Yi Jianlian must think that he can't!

After all, no matter how you look at it, Kevin Durant takes a king number to enter the finals every year, which is somewhat advantageous, but he often shows his ability at critical moments in the finals. No one stands in the way at all!

So if Kevin Durant is really allowed to lead the team alone, although Yi Jianlian doesn't know what it will be like, but with Paul George, Yi Jianlian really doesn't think Kevin Durant will not be able to enter the second round of the playoffs.

Not to mention the "third brother" James Harden, he really worked out of the Rockets step by step, until Morey established a new system around him, and then reached the Western Conference Finals several times!

This is Harden's ability, although his touch has also been criticized by many fans, but in terms of his ability to lead the team, James Harden is the most unscrupulous person!

It is precisely because of the subsequent encounters of these three guys that Russell Westbrook is the one with the worst ability to lead the team, and he is therefore known as the most unsuitable player among the three young Thunder leaders that year!

Of course, this is an afterthought, so let's not talk about it for the time being!

Kevin Durant has completed his redemption this season!

The other guy who has completed the redemption is Dirk Nowitzki!

He finally led the team to the Finals again this season, which is what all Mavericks fans have been waiting for day and night, and this is what Mark Cuban has been waiting for!

Now the day has finally arrived!

And it is gratifying that this year's Mavericks can enter the finals completely by relying on Derknowitz to carry the entire team forward to reach the finals!

Derknowitzki's performance in key moments in the playoffs this year has been truly impressive!

"Seriously, if I watch the playoffs and then select the regular season MVP, I might choose the better one among Kevin Durant, Dirk Nowitzki and Yi Jianlian!"

When talking about this topic, the experts of ESPN deliberately said that in their opinion, these three guys who have completed the task of saving the team are the best players this season!

They're eligible to compete for the regular season MVP!

Fortunately, the MVP of the final regular season belongs to Yi Jianlian, and this topic did not form any big controversy in the end!

Derrick Rose is good, but in the eyes of many experts, he is still a little too tender, especially in the game between the Bulls and the Knicks, and he failed to stand up to save the team at many critical moments!

Although he has long proven his ability in key moments, the comparison between superstars and regular season MVPs is actually a slight difference!

Judging from the performance in the playoffs, Derrick Rose, who broke out this season, still has room for improvement!

***

The dust has settled on the two teams of the finals, and the curtain of the first game of the finals will be opened soon, and all the fans are eagerly waiting for the final gluttonous meal of the 2010~2011 season!

Of course, before the start of the finals, ESPN also organized a "round table" to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the two teams.

Knicks: This is the first year of Jr.S.'s arrival, and the Knicks' performance in previous years has not been smooth sailing. And this year they broke out with a huge advantage.

In the first round of the playoffs, the young Pacers pushed the Knicks into a desperate situation, and they didn't let the Knicks breathe a sigh of relief until the final tie-break, and finally with James's god-level data and Lu's change of formation, the Knicks were able to get through the danger. In the second round against the rival Raptors, James once again showed his dominance over the Raptors' two guns, leading the Knicks to sweep the opponent again with a clean 4-0, and James' total points in this round of the series were only two points less than the Raptors combined. The Celtics without Irving and Hayward won the first two games at home against the Knicks, 0-2, James and the Knicks were once again cornered, and James once again led the team to level the score. After losing the battle of Tianwang Mountain away, Lefu accidentally suffered a concussion in G6, James could only carry the team fight alone, G7 played 48 minutes, James once again brought the Knicks to the finals, and he also reached the finals for 8 consecutive years.

As for the Mavericks, compared to the 12-0 before last year's Finals, the Mavericks' journey to the playoffs this year can be described as difficult. Curry suffered another left knee injury at the end of the regular season and missed the first round, and the Spurs, who lacked the core of the team, still fought the Mavericks for five games, and the Mavericks finally advanced 4-1 thanks to Durant's excellent performance. In the semifinals, the Pelicans, who are also known for their team and speed, failed to cause problems for the Mavericks, and it was 4-1 again, and the Mavericks advanced to the Western Conference finals again. Facing the Rockets, who are the league's No. 1 team this season, the Mavericks, who lost their home-court advantage, took the lead on the road, and the Mavericks led 2-1 at the end of the first three games of the series. Iguodala was injured in Game 3 and the Mavericks suffered losses in both G4 and G5, but Thompson broke out again in G6 and pulled the team back from the brink. In the tie-break battle, the Mavericks without Iguodala and the Rockets without Paul fought to the end, and finally the Mavericks passed 4-3 and reached the finals for four consecutive years.

The Knicks have been underwhelming on the offensive end of the playoffs this season, averaging just 101.2 points per game, 7.9 fewer than the Mavericks, but they have been extremely good on the defensive end, conceding just 99.9 points per game, the second-best defensive team in the playoffs. The Mavericks continue their excellent offensive and defensive performances in the playoffs, averaging 109.1 points per game, ranking second among playoff teams and No. 1 in defensive efficiency.

The Knicks have been criticized for their role player play and interior rebounding protection so far this season, and whether role players other than James and Love can play impressively in the Finals will largely determine how far the Knicks can go. In addition, the three-point shot they have relied on has been terrible in the playoffs, shooting just 33.9% from three-point range, and the outside shooters will have to find their form quickly to compete with the Mavericks in the Finals.

The Mavericks have made more than 15 turnovers in four of the seven games they have faced the Rockets in the Western Conference Finals, which has directly caused them to lose three of those games, and the first thing the Mavericks have to do in this Finals is to control the turnovers. On the offensive end, he continued to play Green's high-post playmaking role, allowing Splash to play a smooth baseline ball coordination, do a good job of defensive counterattacks and maintain a high shooting rate. On the defensive end, you have to do a good job of breaking through defense against James and defending against the Knicks from the outside.

In the playoffs this season, the Knicks played a total of 18 games, achieved a 12-6 record, achieved 8 wins, and played 7 overs; The Mavericks played 17 games, with a 12-5 record, nine wins, and five overs. The two teams have met twice in the regular season this season, with the Mavericks winning both games, winning both games and scoring two small points, but the Knicks won both games in the first quarter and the first half.
