Chapter 333: East-West Final Matchup
After the Spurs eliminated the Rockets with a score of 4:1, the Cavaliers vs. Raptors game also ended, also with a score of 4:1. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Next, the three teams only need to wait for the final results of the two teams, the Wizards and the Green Kai.
The Wizards have signed free agents through trades in the second half of this season, which has made their team's roster stronger, such as Nurkic who was traded from the Nuggets, a typical European White Bear player, who was originally in the Nuggets and shared playing time with Jokic, and did not have a bright performance.
But after arriving at the Wizards, the playing time was guaranteed, and the statistics played were very exciting, quite a bit of the peak Gasol Jr., and the Wizards earned this deal.
And Mr. Jennings, who was cut by the New York Knicks, also joined the Wizards at the end of the regular season, according to him, whether he wants to join a team that hopes to win the championship, and I don't know whether this thing is brave or not, or really thinks that the Wizards have the hope of winning the championship......
In short, the Wizards, who have a better lineup, although the seventh game of the series is Green Kai's home court, but with the excellent play of the substitute role players, they defeated Green Kai with difficulty and successfully advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals!
For this kind of result, the Cleveland Cavaliers led by Zhan Huang must be happy to see, how much physical strength can the wizards who have fought seven games have left? In the match against the Cavaliers, there will definitely be a lot of losses.
Since then, the final four teams in the second round of this season's playoffs series have been selected: the Golden State Warriors and San Antonio Spurs in the West, the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Washington Wizards in the East.
In the finals of the East and West, catch and fight, decide the best, who can win, and who has the qualification to advance to the finals!
Although the winner of the Eastern and Western finals can also get a trophy for the division championship, there are very few people who care about this trophy, and I am afraid that even the fans don't care much, and in terms of gold content, it is much worse than the overall champion O'Brien Cup.
Like Zhan Huang, the most trophies he has won in his career are probably this Eastern Final Championship trophy......
So far in his career, he has won the Eastern Conference championship seven times......
And the Warriors and Spurs don't care much about the Western Conference championship trophy, the Warriors have won two times in a row in the past two years, not to mention the Spurs, they have won the Western Conference championship trophy 6 times, which is equivalent to reaching the Finals 6 times and winning five O'Brien Cups.
The only Wizards who have their eyes on the Divisional Champions League are probably not in any hope of getting their hands on them......
It can be said that among the fifteen teams in the East, the team that will enter this season's Finals has basically been determined, that is, the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the current situation in the West is not very clear, and it is really hard to say who will enter the Finals between the Spurs and the Warriors.
When the Golden State Warriors' Big Five had a neat lineup, they all shot with all their might, and although they won the Spurs in the end, the final lead was not much, and it was not a complete crush.
And now that Durant is absent, the strength of the Warriors' backcourt has been greatly reduced, and it is not impossible for the Spurs to turn over in one fell swoop, and defeat the Warriors.
On May 18th, the matchup table for the Eastern and Western Finals was released, which is basically similar to the fan prediction at the halfway point of the season, with the Western Warriors vs. the Spurs and the Eastern Cavaliers vs. a certain team......
In the regular season, the Wizards fell to the fifth place in the East for a while, and no one expected them to go so far in the playoffs and meet the Cavaliers under Emperor Zhan.
May 21, the date of the official start of the Eastern and Western Finals, fans have been waiting for this day for too long, and many office fans have even taken time off to watch the first match of the Eastern and Western Finals.
In the first game like this, both teams will definitely show their strongest strength, show their muscles to the opponent, and strive to beat the opponent in a wave and reduce the difficulty of the later schedule.
The Warriors are no exception, despite Durant's absence, but with the Big Three plus Sun Dahei, the Warriors' starting lineup is still the strongest starting lineup in the league!
The only slight weakness of them is Barnes, but judging from Barnes's performance on the court, although there is a big gap with Durant, his defensive ability is still very good, and he does not have any shots, which is equivalent to a blue-collar coolie player.
Although it seems that the Warriors' starting lineup is ridiculously strong, Warriors head coach Kerr is not sure at all!
He still remembers very well that the last time against the Spurs, the reason why he was able to win without danger was mainly because of the superiority of the lineup, the starting lineup of the Big Four and the bench lineup led by Sun Dahei, such a double lineup can ensure that the Warriors players are extremely competitive at any time on the floor.
But now with Durant's absence, their Big Four starters can no longer be formed, and they can only mention Sun Dahei to the starting lineup, if Sun Dahei does not enter the starting lineup, then it is not impossible for the Warriors to be killed by the Spurs.
But Sun Dahei entered the starter, and the strength of the bench lineup is too big compared to the Spurs, even if the Warriors starting lineup is a few points ahead, when the bench comes on, it is very likely that this advantage will be erased by the Spurs......
Kerr is now in a dilemma, if Durant is still around, where will he spend so many brain cells, directly divided into two lineups, even if the Spurs have the ability to pass the sky, it will definitely be difficult to escape defeat.
……
"Da Hei, how long do you think your physical fitness can last if you fight with all your might?" At the home of the Warriors, the players are doing pre-game projection exercises, looking for a feel, Sun Dahei doesn't need this practice, just doing some stretching on the sidelines, warming up, Kerr walked to Sun Dahei's side and asked seemingly casually.
Da Hei is really hard to answer Cole's question, the reason is that Cole has never let Sun Dahei really hit the limit, and Cole's overprotection of Sun Dahei has caused Sun Dahei to really not know where the limit of his physical fitness is......
"Coach, I really don't know much about this...... But I think thirty-five minutes or so shouldn't be a problem! Sun Dahei gave Kerr an ambiguous answer, about 35 minutes, which is almost the limit of Sun Dahei's playing time since entering the NBA, and he has not played a game longer than this.
