The O'Brien Cup and the championship ring represent the meaning and importance to the players, there is no need to go into too much detail, a thousand words are combined into one sentence, the O'Brien Cup represents the heritage of a team, and the championship ring reflects the historical position of a player's career.

In last season's finals, the Warriors were reversed by the Cavaliers in a 3-1 situation, and the championship trophy was handed over.

The Warriors signed Durant in the offseason, which can be described as Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it, nothing more than wanting to make a comeback and win the championship again.

The relationship between Durant and the Warriors can be described as a love affair, the Warriors want revenge and regain the lost championship, Durant is eager to get a championship ring to confirm his place in history, and even does not hesitate to turn against his good brother Westbrook, and in the end, the two sides hit it off.

Of course, the Warriors who got Durant are simply like a tiger, after a short run-in at the beginning of the season, the Warriors are on the right track, and the incomparably dazzling four-star combination has the momentum to level the whole league, especially the Warriors' sky-high offense, throughout the league, there are only a handful of teams that can withstand the Warriors' fierce attack wave.

After successfully topping the Western Conference regular season championship, the Warriors were even more powerful in the playoffs, except for the stubborn resistance of the Clippers in the Eastern Conference Finals, the remaining two rounds of the series almost crushed the opponent with the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, and advanced strongly.

Now, with the Clippers in 6 games, the Warriors' state is on fire, and Kerr and a group of players are also full of ambition, bound to defeat the Knicks in the Finals and win the championship, which may make the only regret of the Warriors players that the opponent is not the Cavaliers, and they can't avenge last year's Finals.

Take a step back and think about it, as long as you win the championship, who cares who the opponent is, the ultimate goal of the Warriors is still the championship, and revenge is just a casual task.

While Kerr and the Warriors players are gearing up, they are worried that the Knicks, their opponents in the Finals, are just as outrageously strong.

First of all, the Knicks not only defeated the Cavaliers, Spurs and Warriors in the regular season, but also made it all the way to the playoffs, advancing to the Finals with a 12-0 record, including the defending champion Cavaliers.

Last season's Knicks came out as a dark horse, but this season's Knicks have transformed into a super team, and like the Warriors, the Knicks have also undergone a major overhaul in the offseason, signing former regular season MVP Rose and former best defensive player Noah.

What's even more terrifying is that the head coach of the Knicks, Wang Zhuo, didn't know what means he used, successfully persuaded the first three-point king in history, Ray Allen, and successfully strengthened in the middle of the season, signing Chinese player Yi Jianlian and 07 champion Oden, the key is that Oden has completely gotten rid of the injury and successfully integrated into the Knicks' tactical system.

The Knicks have almost done the ultimate in terms of reinforcement, while the core of the team is also improving rapidly, Anthony's leadership temperament is becoming more and more mature, and Porzingis's growth rate can be described as meteoric.

The depth of the roster may only be comparable to the Warriors and the Knicks, but there is one Knicks that has more advantages, that is, the coaching staff, Wang Zhuo found defensive expert Jeff Van Gundy in the offseason, and successfully integrated Van Gundy's defensive philosophy into the team's system, while Kerr lost Luke Wharton, the right-hand man, and the Knicks coaching staff is stronger.

This is best reflected in the Knicks' better regular season record, which also means that the Knicks still have home-court advantage in the Finals.

Before the finals began, all kinds of media had rushed to New York to focus on the ultimate showdown of the world's top event, and for a while, New York became the focus of the world's attention.

In order to bring fans into the atmosphere of the Finals early, some media compare the Warriors and the Knicks from various aspects, including hard power, squad depth, coaching ability and on-court performance, and even directly compare the number of championships of the two teams.

Not only did the media hype build momentum, but the public relations teams of the Warriors and Knicks also attacked each other, creating all kinds of smokescreens to confuse the public.

Kerr is a basketball commentator and is very good at using the power of the media to promote the momentum, so that the Warriors, who do not have home-court advantage, have a much better chance of winning the championship than the Knicks under the prediction of experts.

However, Kerr kept a low profile, did not exaggerate in front of the media, said excessive things, and did not comment and attack the Knicks.

"Mr. Wang, in the face of powerful knights, do you have the confidence to defeat them?"

As the head coach of the Knicks, Wang Zhuo naturally can't stay out of the matter, and his every move, word and deed has attracted the attention of the media.

“OfCourse！ Of course, the Knicks are yet to lose. ”

Wang Zhuo's answer was direct and crisp, without the slightest hesitation, which surprised the reporters who interviewed him.

"Have you figured out how to deal with the Splash Brothers?"

The reporter's eyes widened and stared directly at Wang Zhuo, hoping to dig out valuable information from Wang Zhuo's mouth.

"No, they have the Splash Brothers, and we have the Wave Master and Apprentice, that's all."

Wang Zhuo shook his head and denied the reporter's question, but Wang Zhuo did not stop talking, but said a question that surprised the reporter even more.

"Wave master and apprentice? Why have I never heard of it? ”

The reporter's eyes widened again, after all, the title of "Wave Master and Apprentice" was unheard of.

"Of course, it's the Wave master and apprentice, the No. 1 three-point king in history, Ray Allen, plus the league's No. 1 scoring guard Derrick Rose today, is the Knicks' 'Wave master and apprentice' combination, it doesn't matter if you haven't heard of it before, from today onwards, it will be officially named, I think they are worthy of this title."

Wang's answer surprised reporters, but they didn't doubt the three-point shooting ability of Ray Allen and Rose.

Rose switched to a scoring guard and practiced a precise three-point shot, thanks to Ray Allen's words and deeds, and the three-point shooting ability of the two can definitely compete with Curry and Thompson, so it is not an exaggeration to call it a "wave master and apprentice".
