Cavaliers vs Celtics, after so many years, the Eastern Conference Finals finally have something to watch. LeBron this season. James is no longer the role of "guaranteeing" the Finals, and the Cavaliers have not played as smoothly as in previous years throughout the playoffs.

After all, the Cavaliers aren't a superteam right now, and they only have LeBron on their roster. James is a superstar. Lefou? Kevin. Love has been rather mediocre this season and has not been of much help. Whether the Cavaliers can win or not depends entirely on whether the "old man" James can continue to play incredible and magical performances.

Although this year's Eastern Conference Finals are finally a bit interesting, the limelight is still suppressed by the Western Conference Finals. The slogan "Winning the Western Conference Finals is equivalent to winning the championship" has also been on the lips of fans again.

The Warriors take on the Super Mavericks, two of the best teams in the league. Although the Western Conference Finals in recent years have been all Warriors playing Mavericks, everyone is not bored. Because of these two teams, every year brings something different to everyone.

Last season, the Warriors brought in Kevin . Durant has become a super team within a superteam. And this season, the Mavericks have also changed their faces, winning a record-breaking 75 wins in the regular season, eager to regain control of the league in one fell swoop.

In order to fight each other, both teams are constantly evolving and getting stronger. This season, both sides have almost reached the top, and this can be said to be a pinnacle matchup between the two teams!

While the Mavericks were still playing Game 3 against the Trail Blazers, the U.S. Route Center arena was already pre-selling tickets for Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals. In other words, before the Western Conference semifinals are over, the Mavericks' tickets for the Western Conference finals have been bought. This kind of advance ticket advance has only been done by one team before, and that is the Los Angeles Lakers during Kobe's two-game winning streak.

The current Mavericks are the same as the Lakers back then, and they have absolute self-confidence. The Western Conference Finals are the real beginning of the Mavericks' battle.

Although the Mavericks reached the Western Conference Finals with an undefeated record of 8-0, the Warriors, who had just played a seven-tie with the Rockets, were even more ambitious.

"We've been through all the necessary trials and turns, and we know how to survive tough times. That's why we're not afraid to play tough games. And what about the Dallas Mavericks? IMHO, they haven't had any challenges all along. I don't know if they're ready for the next game, but I'm sure my players are ready. "At the press conference the day before the game, Steve . Cole looks incredibly confident in front of the camera.

After all, it was he who ended the Mavericks' dynasty last season and won the Warriors' first NBA championship in franchise history.

Kerr thinks it's only natural that the Mavericks' rookies play well in a downwind situation. But with high pressure and headwinds, Kerr doesn't think Mitchell and Kuzma can help, let alone the sixth man, Moodier.

Just like before the start of the season, the media ridiculed the Mavericks and said: Could it be that Coach Carlisle wants to use Kuzma to play against Durant?

At the time, Kuzma's prowess was not known, so it looked like a joke. Now, despite Kuzma's value, it still sounds like a joke.

Kuzma's performance has been good, and he is definitely one of the few rookies who have played best this year. But he and Durant have never been players at the same level.

On paper, the Warriors are unmatched. Even the Mavericks, who won 75 wins, have a slightly "shabby" lineup compared to the Warriors.

The outside world believes that as long as the Warriors can limit Yiyang's play, the Mavericks will be completely finished.

There are all kinds of reports coming out one after another, and various media outlets have come up with their predictions and analysis. But in all these reports, it's hard to spot Rudy. Gobert's name. The French big man, who missed two months of competition, seems to have been forgotten......

On May 14, the NBA Western Conference Finals officially kicked off at the American Route Center in Dallas. This is the sixth year in a row that the Western Conference Finals have been held, and in the past six years, the Mavericks have never missed this Western Conference battle.

But it's clear that Mavericks players and fans aren't going to be satisfied. Their goal is to win the championship, not just the Western Conference Finals.

Before the start of the game, Gobert practiced one-on-one offense and defense in front of the trainer with a crash pad, looking for a confrontation and a feeling of the game.

If it's the regular season, Gobert can also start off the bench and slowly adjust and find his feelings. But now that the most crucial Western Conference Finals have been played, the pressure on Gobert is much greater. Because he didn't have time to adjust, after two months away from the field, he had to give his best performance for the most difficult games as soon as he came back!

There is no doubt that this is a very difficult thing to achieve. I haven't played for two months, and the game feels like it's definitely degraded a lot. Because of this, Drummond. Green would have been so rampant before the game. Of course, he knows that Gobert has been doing well this season, but after returning from injury, this guy can't immediately show 100% form!

Before the start of the game, the sideline reporter David . Aldridge also approached Gobert and asked if he was ready for the game.

"With or without it, I have no way back. So I just want to do my best, and I don't want to think so much about the rest for the time being. Gobert didn't say anything, because even he didn't know how successful he was.

Amid the noisy shouts of the fans, the game finally began. It wasn't until the big man in the No. 27 jersey stepped onto the court that people remembered that the Mavericks still had such a defensive beast.

The Warriors are in charge of the jump ball is Durant, and although he is a small forward, he is the No. 1 height on the court for the Warriors. In the scrum phase, Gobert won easily. But the jump ball doesn't mean anything, and Green has been trash-talking since he started defending Gobert. But the French were expressionless, as if they couldn't hear anything.

Yiyang fell in love with his "old friend" Clay. Thompson, in the Warriors, the task of defending Yiyang is basically left to Thompson. Yiyang originally planned to find Hayward first after the opening, but Hayward was very embarrassed by Iguodala, the hero of the Mavericks' three-game championship.

So Yiyang pretended to break through with a cover, but in fact, after bypassing the screen, he immediately sent the ball to Mitchell, who cut into the basket!

The two worked very well together and were not disturbed in any way. Seeing Mitchell receive the basketball, all the fans in the scene held their breath. This athletic defender who can flatten the rim and dunk is bound to blow up the whole court every time he hits the basket.

Mitchell leaped up powerfully, and it looked like it was going to be another powerful slam dunk! However, Drummond. Green rushed from the spur, caught up with Mitchell's height, and slapped the basketball in Mitchell's hand away!

"Drummond. Green, block the dunk! He deserved to be last season's best defensive player and a basket protector for the Warriors! It's so beautiful, the timing and height of the cap are perfect! "Mike. Brin didn't expect such a blood-pumping scene to appear at the beginning of the game, dunks and blocked dunks are equally exciting!

Mitchell fell in embarrassment under the huge resistance, and Green picked up the basketball himself and advanced to the front court with the ball.

Gobert's retreat is very fast, don't look at his height, but his mobility is very impressive. The center who can run behind Yiyang all year round is not much slower.

Green quickly passed the half court with the ball and passed it to Durant. Durant made a big change of direction past Hayward, holding the basketball and taking two steps to the basket. This guy takes two steps, maybe he can be someone else's three or four steps!

Gobert jumped in a hurry, but instead of interfering with Durant's layup, he made the referee's whistle blow. At the same time, the basketball rolled up the net, and Durant got a three-point chance as soon as he opened the game!

"Two points are valid, and there is a penalty for it! As soon as the Mavericks came up, they couldn't do it alone. The commentators sat on the stage and teased.

"Are you blowing a body hair foul!?" Carlisle complained to the referee that if Armstrong hadn't stopped it in time, he might have been subject to a technical foul.

"Don't be angry, Rudy's defensive position is really bad, and his positional sense has not returned to his previous level." Armstrong was a little nervous, and it seemed that Gobert hadn't adapted to the real game yet.

"Only let him take his time, I hope that kid can withstand it." Carlisle sat back on the bench, and this time, even he didn't know the bottom of his mind.

The Mavericks attacked for the second time, and Yiyang planned to shake off Clay with his superb off-ball run. Thompson, then shot from beyond the three-point line. But Gobert's off-ball cover didn't do a good job, this guy was standing too low to hang Clay at all!

"The cover is not of high quality, Clay. Thompson posted it, and Yiyang made a move! Hey, I didn't make it, the Mavericks missed a good opportunity! ”

"Rudy doesn't seem to have figured out where he should stand, and I'm willing to bet that if the guy who covered for that ball just now was Mejri, Clay wouldn't have been able to catch up."

Yiyang misses a shot, and the Warriors are quickly a counterattack. The Warriors are equally good at converting offense to scoring.

Curry faked a real pass, which gave Thompson a chance. Mitchell was still too young to understand Curry's routine, so he let Thompson shoot one.

Thompson must not let him smooth his hand, once he is allowed to play smoothly, the score will not be collected at all. However, on his first shot today, Klay got open and made a shot.

"Why don't we let Mejery try it first, it's too dangerous to go on like this." Armstrong was nervous, and if he made a mistake in the Western Conference Finals, it would be a season of hard work!

"Give him some time, man, give him some time...... Carlisle put his chin in his hands, Rudy, he must have done better.

"Rudy has been terrible in both rounds, sir, do you think he has a way to get back into form today?" At this time in the stands, France Télévisions also sent their commentary team, and today's commentator is none other than the coach of the French national team, Vincent. Collet.

"The first time Rudy played with us in the World Cup, in '14, against Spain. At first, he was also brought to death by the two Gasol brothers. But then, he gave the pair of Spanish towers a taste of power. That match became Rudy's battle of fame on the international stage, and it has been talked about until now. Rudy may not be able to start perfectly, but he's definitely trying to figure out how to change himself. Rudy is a smart guy, so don't talk about this game. I can guarantee that he will be able to get back into the game this quarter! ”

The French coach looked very confident, and he didn't forget to add a word afterwards.

"Rudy. Gobert is definitely the most amazing big guy I've ever worked with. ”
