June 2015 was a year of great excitement in North America, the most important of which was the Golden State Warriors' victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers 4-2 in six games to win their second NBA championship since the 1974-75 season.

If the small-ball trend represented by the Warriors was only gradually prevalent in the league, now this trend has immediately skyrocketed with the championship trophy and made a name for itself to the world. Since the Finals G2 and G3 battles were won by the Cavaliers, Steve. Coach Kerr immediately made adjustments and removed Andrew. Bogut, who has always played well, put Andre Iguodala into the starting lineup, and did not hesitate to sacrifice his own 'Death Five' lineup that was only occasionally experimented with in the regular season.

Coach Kerr's decisive adjustment proved to be correct, and this lineup with good firepower and ultra-long range from the No. 5 to No. 1 positions immediately caused the Cavaliers' defense to have a headache, especially when they made heavy use of pick-and-roll air cuts and Mozgov and Tristan. Thompson's defensive slow-paced shortcomings, Drummond. Green, Harrison. The mid-range and long-range firepower of Barnes and Iguodala became a thorn in the side of the opposition. Coach Kerr also made a tactical adjustment, ordering the Warriors players to abandon the three-point bombardment that had been somewhat dysfunctional in previous games and instead focus on attacking the mid-range area from the free-throw line to 18 feet under the basket. This area is the most embarrassing place for the Cavaliers to assist in defense, both inside and outside to help defend is very difficult, after all, the remnants of the Heat led by Addison relied on sharp mid-range kills to beat the Clevelands to the bitterness, and it took 6 games of stalemate with the opponent.

The Finals MVP trophy was not awarded to Stephen Curry, who averaged 26.0 points, 5.1 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 1.8 steals per game, but to Andre Igrada, who started from the bench. Iguodala took on a lot of defense in the Finals for both LeBron. James's heavy responsibility, and at the same time, he also played bravely on the offensive end, averaging 16.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.3 steals per game, shooting 52% from the field and more than 40% from three-point range.

Although the FMVP is not attributed to Stephen. Curry has caused a lot of buzz, but that doesn't stop the Golden State's ecstasy about winning a championship, and it doesn't disrupt the Warriors' locker room environment. However, the focus of public opinion among NBA followers in the United States and even around the world is more focused on LeBron. James's Finals performance, as the Cavaliers' only remaining single core, LBJ was able to average 35.8 points, 13.3 rebounds and 8.8 assists per game in 6 games, such data is brilliant and magical, and the Finals average of 35+10+5 per game is even Michael. Jordan & Shaq. O'Neill never did; However, with James shooting only 39.8% from the field and no more than 2 minutes of rest per game, it can be said that the Warriors' defensive system limits him well, and James makes every goal more than 10 times more difficult than usual, and the more critical it is.

To sum up, the LBJ Finals played magically enough, but it also just set off the strength and depth of the Warriors on both offensive and defensive ends, doubling James's isolation in key tournaments......

After the finals, the long-boiling national basketball scene finally gradually calmed down, and Oakland slowly returned to its usual peace and tranquility after the championship parade. However, business leagues like the NBA won't be keeping a low profile for long, and the 2015 NBA Draft was held on June 26 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Own Carl. Anthony. Downs, Jahir. Okafor, Kristaps. 2015, a year for many talented players such as Porzingis, was naturally a big year for the draft, and this draft has attracted the attention of countless people.

Sure enough, the Minnesota Timberwolves, who have the No. 1 pick, selected Karl Timberwolves from the University of Kentucky. Anthony. Downs, a 6-foot-11" tall man with physical attributes as strong as a small forward, has the talent and potential to grow into the league's first-class offensive and defensive lineup.

Instead of the strong big man they always thought they would be hiring, the Los Angeles Lakers, who had the second pick, selected guard D'Angelo from Ohio State University. Russell, this choice was unexpected by many media outlets. Could it be that the Lakers management, led by Kupchak, wanted to work for Kobe. Does Bryant choose an heir? Everyone can see that what the Lakers lack most now is an interior line that can defend the restricted area and attack the opponent in the low post, rather than an outside firepower point. D'Angelo. Russell is a good rookie guard, but he doesn't seem to be the one the Lakers desperately need right now......

The Philadelphia 76ers, who were the third pick, selected 7-footer Jahill from Duke University. Okafor, with 'Tim. Duncan II's reputation for Okafor is a man of the stars in the NCAA, breaking several Duke freshman records. This is an interior with mature offensive skills and a soft shooting touch, which is not far from the black and thick interior lines that are all over the league today.

The New York Knicks, who were the fourth pick, recruited Latvian interior Kristaps, who emerged from the Spanish league. Porzingis, who is 7 feet 3 inches (221 cm) tall, is an absolute big man even in the NBA, but his mobility and body control are extremely strong, and he is the top co-fencer in the Spanish league. Coupled with his terrifying projection ability, he is a very good and alternative interior lineman.

The Orlando Magic picked the Heat's favorite wing player Justis with the fifth pick. Winslow.

The Sacramento Kings used the sixth pick to select center Willie, a native of the University of Kentucky. Crawley. Stein.

……

Heat uniform team at Pat. Riley also came to the draft venue under the leadership of Riley, and although they did not have a draft pick this year, Pat Brown was also led to the draft meeting. Riley has already made up his mind to update and strengthen the roster through a trade, and he naturally needs to be prepared for this.

The four forwards the Heat are eyeing right now, Justis. Winslow was drafted by the Magic with the fifth pick. Decker was picked by the Rockets with the 18th pick in the first round. Hollis. Jefferson was drafted by the Nets with the 23rd pick in the first round, while Josh Jorge. Richardson was also drafted by the Nets with the 40th pick in the second round...... The Heat are now quite passive in terms of draft picks due to the massive trades they made in previous years. Riley doesn't plan to make a move on the day of the draft this time. He needs to analyze and keep waiting until the summer transfer begins before the Heat begin to bolster along their lines.

"Keep an eye on Hollis. Jefferson and Josh. Richardson's signing moves, keep in touch with them and their agents to avoid any mistakes in the meantime. "Pat. Riley circled the names of the two rookies selected by the Nets in his notebook and instructed the uniforms, "At the same time, we need to step up to reach a trade agreement with the Nets and urge them to sign these two rookies as soon as possible; The faster they go, the sooner we will have to agree with the Nets. There are many dreams at night, and these two rookies on the flanks are very important to us, and I don't want to be cut off by others. ”

Almost immediately after the end of the draft, just as June was about to end, Addison's agency team suddenly announced two things to the public.

The first thing was in Addison's adoptive father, Joe. With Grylls' certification and the help of the Canadian Basketball Association, Addison successfully applied for Canadian citizenship, and from this moment on he was a dual citizen of the United States and Canada. At the same time, Addison expressed his willingness to accept the invitation of the Canadian Basketball Association in an interview with the media and represent the Canadian men's basketball team in the Copa America this summer.

"It's really sad news, and I was hoping to continue coaching Eddie with the Dream Team. But I can understand what he's doing, and now I'm really eager to lead the team to a showdown against Addison at the Olympics and see how much he's improved and grown in the league. In an interview, Coach K expressed his understanding and encouragement for the choice of his proud protégé, but the regret in his tone could not be concealed. For Coach K, Addison is arguably the most outstanding point guard he has ever developed from the Duke Blues, and he misses coaching this young Chinese. But he also knew that Addison was a natural man with a penchant for challenges, and he wasn't too surprised that his protégé had decided to join the Canadian national team.

In fact, the whole United States is not too surprised by Addison's decision, everyone knows how strong the Dream Team is, and it is impossible for Addison to have any gap because he does not join. Most people just regret that such a talented and powerful young man did not play for the American team, in fact, in the hearts of many Americans, Addison will not join the dream team to make them more satisfied, the country's rejection of the yellow race is still extremely stubborn and full of malice in this regard. If Addison does announce his joining the Dream Team, I'm afraid a wave of opposition will follow.

In contrast, the one who really reacted most violently to Addison's joining the Canadian national team was China on the other side of the ocean. When the Chinese Basketball Association was revealed to have started to contact Addison, the major online forums were really excited for a long time. Addison is stronger than Jeremy Lin, and he can even be said to be an NBA supernova on a level, if he can really join the Chinese national team, then everyone knows what kind of transformation the national team will have. However, the expectations of the fans were exchanged for the information that the Basketball Association paid less and less attention to Addison, and even in May, when the Basketball Association officials focused on praising young players such as Guo Allen and Zhao Jiwei, but completely avoided talking about Addison's related matters, many people had a premonition that it was impossible for Addison to join the national team.

"From Jeremy Lin to Addison, I don't believe that the NBA doesn't know how big a gap there is between the CBA and the NBA, and I don't believe they don't know how much we can improve if we have NBA-caliber players on the national team...... I've learned not to complain now, I'm just depressed, how much talent are we going to lose because of this?? A netizen's statement on the forum represents the voice of countless Chinese fans, who have long understood that complaining and accusations are useless, and now they can only be deeply saddened in the face of such things.

The second thing is that the NIKE brand officially released Addison's first exclusive sneaker on June 30th - a press conference was held in Auckland with the Addison brokerage team for this purpose, and the Elf Assassin Generation also landed on the shelves of major NIKE brand stores around the world at the same time, officially selling to the world!

"We believe in Addison's athletic prowess and global influence, and that 'Elf Assassin' will become a favorite sneaker line for basketball fans around the world. Next, the NIKE brand will immediately start to discuss the production of Addison's America's Cup-themed sneakers, as I said earlier, NIKE has absolute hope and trust for Addison's performance in this America's Cup. ”

At the press conference, the official spokesperson of the NIKE brand said solemnly to the media.
