Chapter 195: Season Summary

The Suns' season is over, and there are four teams left in the playoffs.

On the western side, everyone thinks that the GDP is old at this time. In terms of individual ability, it should not be ranked in the top 20 of the league, and there is no team with an average of 20 points per game, how can this continue. In the Western Conference matchup against the Thunder, the Spurs won the first 2 games, and then the 2 games were equalized by the Thunder. Many people are reminded of the previous playoff meeting between the two teams, the Spurs 2:0 to 2:4. But it was at this time that Manuginobili stepped up and successfully withstood the momentum of the Thunder's counterattack. He averaged only 22.8 minutes per game in six games on the Western Conference finals, but he was able to average 15.2 points + 3.7 assists + 2.7 rebounds per game, shoot 5 three-pointers per game, and shoot an astonishing 50% from the field and 94.1% from the free throw line, both of which are the first in both teams!

On the Eastern side, the Miami Heat, who have won two consecutive championships, defeated the Indiana Pacers, the champion of the Eastern Conference regular season, 117-92 at home, thus eliminating their opponents in the Eastern Conference finals with a total score of 4-2 and reaching the Finals for the fourth consecutive season. This is also the Heat's fourth consecutive Eastern Conference title, and the Heat have won championships in 2012 and 2013 since James, Wade, and Bosh formed the "Big Three" in 2010, and are within easy reach of the 2014 championship trophy. Counting last season, the Heat have won 11 consecutive home games in the playoffs, and American Airlines Arena in Miami has become the most difficult home court to conquer in the NBA playoffs in recent years. With this victory, the Heat became only the third team in NBA history to reach the Finals for four consecutive seasons, after the NBA's traditional powerhouses, the Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers. In the past season, the epitome of the NBA East was actually the Heat vs. Pacers. The Pacers got the lead in the regular season and built up a roster and confidence against the Heat, but when they lost to the Heat for the third year in a row, the team at its peak could collapse.

Pacers coach Vogel said they have a core lineup, tactical discipline, and will definitely make a comeback. But in fact, their core squad is facing a disintegration this summer. Principal center Hibbert had a dismal playoff season and is likely to leave when he enters the player option this summer. And Stephenson, who has made obvious progress, shows a naïve side, and even his friend Paul George does not dare to pack a ticket for Finson to stay in the team. Pacers president Larry Bird has built an ideal lineup, but now he has discovered that neither George Hill nor CJ Watson and Scola on the bench are pieces of the dynasty's puzzle. Turner, who traded Granger in the middle of the term, was a salary-pull trade.

In fact, for fans, everyone still prefers to see the Thunder enter the Finals and join the Heat, Durant vs James Huang, Wade vs Westbrook, Ibaka vs Bosh, which is the highlight. However, in terms of strength, this year's Thunder is really not an opponent of the Heat, and Trent technically seems to have no shortcomings except for the threat of the low post, but as a qualified leader, he lacks a lot of things, he does not have Duncan's mind that is as wide as the sea and takes the initiative to take responsibility, nor does he have Kobe's domineering attitude at critical moments, nor does he have the kind of James who controls the whole situation with ease! Because of Westbrook's presence, there are more options for the end of the game, but it is also prone to confusion due to possession.

It turns out that he can play any game with the Westbrook label if he wants to, so that he can hack his opponent to death with a high score or tie his opponent with a triple-double, he is just unstable, both emotionally and mentally! This can easily be used by some sophisticated opponents.

In fact, the person most like Kobe in the league is none other than Westbrook, the turtle Westbrook, who is talented and detached, physically energetic, and quickly emerged after entering the league, but because of his immature young mind, he will make mistakes and take detours, Kobe Bryant's luckiest thing is not to meet O'Neal, but to meet Zen master Phil Jackson, a great coach who changed his sports career!

It's clear that Brooks isn't the best coach for Willis. Athletes are like a piece of jade, which needs to be slowly polished by a master of exquisite carving to become a heirloom!

However, the same Heat and Spurs have gone through hardships, and it is worth looking forward to meeting again in the Finals. One wants to build a dynasty, the other wants revenge, fans think that the game must be just as exciting, but the process and result of the game are surprising, there is not much suspense in 5 games, the Spurs easily defeated the Heat 4-1 and won the 2014 championship, Leonard surprisingly won the championship MVP, he averaged only 17 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists per game, which is really surprising.

The Heat on the younger side is regressing, and the Spurs on the older side are improving.

The key to the Heat's defeat is not in strength, even if there is a gap in overall strength, it will never be beaten so miserably by the Spurs. The overall technical and tactical level of the Heat is not on the same level as the Spurs. Spoelstra may feel that he reversed the Spurs last year, and you ** Vic is at this level, and he must not have paid enough attention to the tactical arrangement, or, his own level is like this, and it will not help to pay attention to it. The Big Three of the Heat jointly occupy a scoring guard position, Bosh doesn't even bother to get into the three-point line, and the Heat's interior line is basically equivalent to giving up! The offense relies too much on James and Wade, basically relies on outside shots to score, and the defense can't prevent the Spurs from blooming at multiple points, and it is a miracle that such a team can reach the finals. Although James's performance is still stable and efficient, if you want to win a team by one person, Jordan, the god of basketball, didn't do it, and the little emperor couldn't do it! The Big Three have come to an end.

And Spurs are always changing, from top to bottom, in every detail, only one thing remains the same: they learn, and they change, trying to become a better team. Playing a game well is a night thing, playing a season well is a whole year thing, and maintaining it for more than ten years, constantly learning, adapting, tacit understanding and changing, is too difficult for some people, so the Spurs team may only be suitable for a certain type of people to settle in. They are willing to devote their lives to such things, playing, studying, traveling with the team, training and competing. The most moving part of the Spurs game is this: at the end of the timeout, they sit or stand on the edge of the technical table one by one, occasionally remembering something, and discussing a few words. Sometimes Duncan and Ginobili would spread their hands and explain to their teammates with a gesture, and when they were done, Duncan patted their teammates on the head. You know that in the next round, the Spurs will play a very smooth set of blocking, cutting, passing, and throwing routines, which will flow smoothly.

In a way, the three champions of 2008, 2011 and 2014 have their similarities. The Celtics, the Mavericks and the Spurs, it's been too long since the last championship, and the times have broken down. On the other hand, these three old man teams are perfect teams, and they all sacrificed everything for the championship, so that in 2008 and 2014, before the last game, it was so difficult to choose the MVP of the finals.

There is a surprise team in the West this year, not to mention the Phoenix Suns, although after the Suns were eliminated, many media used the words Durant to describe the Suns' losses as a Chinese rookie at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, but Suns fans are not blind after all. At the beginning of the season, even the Suns fans themselves just hoped that the team's selected champion would play a good stat, and the team would be able to stock up on some draft picks to lay the foundation for the team's future.

Even the most optimistic fans probably didn't expect that the Suns, who were still the bottom of the West last season, would be able to reach the Western Conference semifinals this year and play five games with the Thunder, and more importantly, the team selected the strongest champion Li Mojie in the past ten years as the core of the team in 2013, the draft year generated by the media, how can this not make Suns fans happy?
