Chapter 460: We're still the champions!!

No one can Drag Me Down!!!

Jiang Chao sang "Drag Me Down" released by Chaoshen Music!!

The Thunder didn't have the heart and effort at home, and they didn't have the funds to invite Queen to sing "We Are the Champion" again, but it also gave the Knicks enough face and put Drag Me Down to let the fans sing along and high!

At this time, Jiang Chao sat quietly in the front seat, and the disturbances in the world had nothing to do with him, he just nodded, very chic and indifferent.

It's in stark contrast to the way he sang "Darg Me Down" on his home pitch two days ago.

It can also be said to be free to retract and release.

The camera switched, and directly cut to the Knicks godfather in a suit at a low angle, and the fans in front of the TV knelt down, this is the real god!!

And at this time, he watched everyone rushing around the court together very calmly, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and he no longer had the excitement when the Knicks defeated the powerful Lakers last season.

Calm!

Calm down! - Paste it, the PS party is late, but it arrives.

However, the next second.

Just like last season, he was directly coaxed down by the players, cheering and lifting him high in front of a group of beauties.

Howard:

"Boss take off!"

Beverly: "Boss Jiang, I've been waiting for this moment for a year!" ”

Yao Ming is also a humorous person: "You bought goggles last year, and I bought them this year, champagne walking!" ”

Matthews and Butler:

"Boss, thank you for choosing and saving our !!"

“lets,go,NewYork!!! Walk up the New York Knicks!!!!!! ”

Jiang Chao was also put down in cheers, and a few cheerleaders and Chaoshen girls rubbed oil and ate tofu with each other, no, kiss, how can his hug be called oil, if you want to say that it is the other way around, the girls are for him.

The on-site staff came to hand out championship hats and T-shirts and so on.

Jiang Chao happily gave a suit worth tens of thousands of dollars directly to a fan wearing a "JIANG" Knicks jersey, and then put on an orange and blue championship T-shirt, and suddenly became young and young.

A generation will grow old!

But there are always people who are young!!

Forever young, forever in tears!!

Last year's dream of the Lakers dynasty was shattered, and this year proves that youth does not fall!

It's also cool to win away from home!

Because there are not so many fans, it will not be so noisy, it is very warm!!!

"I've served it, I've really served this team."

"Defending the title!" On the Thunder's side, Mr. Pu, Donovan and a few old-school coaches came to applaud and congratulate, although Mr. Pu was unwilling, but the basic gentlemanly demeanor still had to be there.

And he also feels that if there is no Jiang Chao, their team may not have come to this position this season, and it is enough to think about it, the history of the Thunder team is still young enough, and the Knicks are indeed legendary.

To know how hard it is to successfully defend your title in the NBA???

Jiang Chao had never witnessed Jordan's three consecutive championships in his previous life, but he had seen that the five-star Warriors could not win three consecutive championships, which is not only a problem for players and teams, but also a big problem for the league, or that sentence, the league does not allow people who have always been so awesome.

Anyway, the finals are 4-2, and the ratings are not as high as Stern's games, and everyone in the Knicks feels a little boring.

Thunder isn't powerful enough.

After G4, it was thunderous.

They are a team that can really be said to be still young, playing too carefully, and lack of experience is a big problem.

Of course, that's what it says, after all, who doesn't want to be strong, it's just that the kind of game that has a lore or a tie-break at the end is more exciting, but the Knicks haven't had such a situation in the entire playoffs, and it was still thrilling last year.

But this year, pushing all the way will allow the league to target them completely.

While waiting for the award ceremony, Jiang Chao saw David Stern's inadvertent and tasteless expression, and he knew something.

The alliance will do something next year, okay!!

Today's whistle is actually going to grab seven, and it is actually very difficult to win the away championship, but the Thunder is really not angry, and the Knicks have always had two Optimus Prime inside, and it is not easy for the Thunder to chase points or open the score.

How hard is it to successfully defend the NBA's title???

Maybe everyone is used to Jordan now, but Jiang Chao, a "person who has come over", knows that Jordan is the only one.

In the future, there will be only three teams in the first pot to lead the team to win the championship.

Pot 1: Jordan, O'Neal, Russell (only three of them have led the team to three consecutive championships, and the dominance can be seen)

Second pot: Magic, Kobe, Olajuwon, Thomas, Durant, James (players who led the team to two consecutive championships)

But now this list has many of the Knicks' biggest names on the list.

It seems that the Knicks defending the title is also reasonable, Jiang Chao got the right person, as long as the coaching staff does not mess around, such a result is also expected.

Since the inception of the NBA, a total of 19 teams have won championships, and only seven of them have successfully defended their titles.

And that's when there are no ace teams like the Heat and the Warriors.

Referring to the Spurs, they only won the championship in odd-numbered years.

So, is it really difficult to defend the title?

Li Shishi and Wang Binbin, Rachel, they reported on the basketball forum in time, of course, the content was written a long time ago.

If you want to blow it, blow it recklessly!

The defending champions have several biggest difficulties.

The first is salary, the strength of the players is a part, and the main thing is to have good role players while retaining the core.

After all, the situation of Curry like Pippen and child labor is really hard to come by.

After winning the championship, everyone's value skyrocketed, if the team wants to renew some players whose contracts have expired at this time, then 100% have to face the problem of choice, pay luxury tax to force a contract renewal or let people get replacements??

Didn't the Knicks encounter such trouble last year, causing both Turkish heroes to leave, didn't the fans say, if there are still Turkish heroes this year, it may be 16-0!

Many teams are letting people get substitutes, and the main lineup remains the same, but in fact, the impact is still quite big, referring to the Mavericks of last year in the previous life, all of them disintegrated after winning the championship, and suddenly became a fish belly again.

However, Jiang Chao has already solved this point, the contracts he signed are all 5 years starting from 7 years at most, at least 3 years do not have to worry about salary, except for Howard, they are all child laborers, and the others are a little higher in the salary of the United Arab Emirates and Dior.

Coupled with the league's annual salary cap, a team like the Knicks that eats rookie dividends every year is simply comfortable.

This is also the reason why many fans call Jiang Chao the boss of the gods, this operation is simply perfect, and the core lineup basically does not worry about reaching the luxury line.

The second factor is the schedule factor.

In the regular season, the champion team has to win as many games as possible to get a better standings and gain home-court advantage in the playoffs.

In the playoffs, teams also have to make sure they don't make mistakes.

The team that won the championship in the end had to play at least 100 games in a season, and there were many uncertainties, making it extremely difficult to win the championship.

If they want to defend their title, the team will also have to strengthen it while retaining the champions.

Tired!

To make sure that the players are not tired before going to the championship, it is difficult to average!

The runner-up of 73 wins was complained to death in later generations.

However, this matter was also solved by the Knicks perfectly, everyone played very evenly on the court, and from time to time they took turns to rest the veterans, so they have always maintained good physical fitness to play in the playoffs.

The third point is that the Knicks have been encountering this year, and it is also a problem that was thoroughly studied by Zen masters and Celtics last year.

Tactical issues.

After a team wins a championship, its tactical play is often known by other teams and studied by other teams.

Other teams will design specific tactics and playing styles for the winning team.

Winning the championship is much more difficult, and failure is inevitable if you don't improve.

For example, the Warriors have achieved great success with their small-ball tactics of winning three championships in five years, and other teams in the league have followed the Warriors' small-ball tactics, and the Warriors lost to the Raptors in the finals of the Warriors' three-game championship season.

In fact, the Knicks have encountered the same difficulties this season, for example, the Celtics clearly found that their forward line was not good, so they frantically made up for the front line, but other teams did not follow the Knicks' lineup, so the Celtics did not meet the Knicks in the first round of the playoffs......

They wanted to meet the Knicks in the East, but they didn't know that they were brushed out of the game by the Heat in the first round.

Coupled with Jiang Chao's miracle stroke in this year's draft, it directly raised the defensive ability of the forward line and the guard line to a new level, Butler + Thompson in exchange for Thomas Jr., this is actually a change in the championship lineup.

The Splash Brothers are in battle, what is the void???

Dior replaced David Lee, and although his athleticism has declined, the team's tactical execution has risen a notch, which is quite comfortable.

There is also the most uncomfortable point, the cause of injury.

On the road to defending the title, the main squad will gradually age, some core players will decline in performance, and even injuries will occur in the intensive schedule, while the team's strength will decline, and the title defense will fail.

In 2009, the Celtics' big three were defending their titles, but at that time, the three players were older and injured, and the 32-year-old Garnett suffered a knee injury and the season was reimbursed, which greatly affected the strength of the team, and the Celtics, who lacked an interior pillar, were finally defeated by the Magic led by Howard.

The Green Army in 2009 was even more powerful than the year when 08 won the championship, but unfortunately it was reimbursed by KG; Past Life 2010 meets the dirtiest and darkest finals of the 21st century; Then in the summer of 2010, a team was formed......

At last!

Psychological causes!!

The NBA season is a long one, and players need to be as strong physically as they are mentally to maintain their desire to win, and they need the heart of a king.

The Spurs have made the playoffs for 21 consecutive years, and as an old powerhouse, they have won the NBA championship five times, but missed the title defense five times, in large part because the players lack the heart of the king.

In the 2004 Western Conference semifinals, the Spurs were beaten by Fisher by 0.4 seconds, and in the subsequent games, the Spurs lost their fighting spirit and lost a lot.

After the Spurs lost in 13 years, the king returned in 14 years, and the role players were out of luck after the Heat team won the championship, which created the legendary revenge of the Spurs.

But the Spurs have always been a pity, 04, 10, 13 and 17 years are a pity, here is a reason I dare not say, the league of the sword of Shang Fang wants to kill who is not simple, Spurs this small ball market, if you have won the championship in the past few years, the NBA will make half of the money!

Thinking of this, Jiang Chao was not pessimistic, but looked at Thompson who was waving his arms and Curry who was roaring on Howard's back, and he remembered what Meng Ku said in the interview.

“If making history is easy,why bother?”

(If it's easy to make history, why do it?) )

– Stephen Curry!

"Let's make history together!!"

“yeah!!”

When Jiang Chao raised the camera, the Splash Brothers looked at the camera and said yes, Howard giggled underneath, and the picture of the three became a world famous painting!!!!

"Don't leave!"

"Durant, we need you!"

And because Durant is about to face the problem of renewing his contract after this year, some fans at the scene shouted at the player tunnel, hoping that Durant will renew his contract and join forces with Wei Shao for a few more years, how can fans who like them play want them to separate?

The Wang Bang combination is tragic, and they have been defeated for 4 consecutive years.

The most annoying thing is that LeBron James sent a private message to Durant at this time:

"Loyalty sometimes hurts you, because there is no boy anymore."

What do you mean by that???

Durant, who was not showering in the locker room or giving an interview, touched his nose, and the first thing he thought about was that James could say such literary words???

After thinking about it carefully, Oh, it seems that Malone said this.

It seems like 10 years ago, when Stockton and Malone were sad, because when the Bulls celebrated the championship, Ma Yong and Stockton sighed in the players' tunnel and hooked their shoulders to leave the arena that brought them sad memories for two consecutive years.

Then during the interview in the locker room, the postman famously said:

“Loyalty is something that hurts you attimes,because you cant get you thback.”

It's similar to what James just said.

But what Durant wants to say is...... How old was he and how old was Malone at that time???

But it's true that he's a little tired in the Thunder, and this year's draft is a small year, except for big favorites like AD Davis, who shined in the Olympics.

James is recruiting himself???

No matter.

Durant hugged his mother, who went into the locker room to comfort him, heard the noise in his ears, and he left the arena alone.

But not to mention, this year's teams driven by Jiang Chao still attach great importance to the draft.

Scouts from other teams also want to create such a myth, not to mention how much attention is paid to the rookies.

A sword once served as a million divisions!

You have to pay attention to the second round!

Jiang Chao has made many decisions in recent years, which may have saved the team hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars.

That's where the staff comes in.

A commercial team is not only about the players themselves, how to find "good" players, players with both business and skill are also a must.

This year, the Knicks did not have a high draft pick, and no team swapped draft picks with the Knicks like last season, so the team before the Knicks signed at No. 30 must be selected well, otherwise it will be a lifelong regret to be picked by the Knicks.

So they are all nervous, the draft is tighter than their free market arrangements, and if they are picked by the Knicks for three consecutive years, they will be really drunk.

Who doesn't want Matthews?

No matter how bad it is, who doesn't want a second-round end-of-the-second show like Thomas Jr!!

You said that the Knicks chose Harden, this is what they would choose with their eyes closed.

But they chose Matthews, Beverley, Danny Green, that's really, and the other teams want this kind of god man too!!

Although the rookies in the past two years have not been so brilliant (Finson Big White Edge and Butler), the role is still obvious, this is the Knicks bench defensive gate, without a few of them, the Knicks will not play so smoothly in the regular season.

Develop players who can be used in the league, not to mention how cool it is.

But the draft is something that other teams are thinking about.

On the Knicks' side, Jiang Chao simply told Shaun Marks a month ago to pay attention to Dream Green, and it doesn't matter if he can choose the best, or if he can't.

As for who to pick in the other first round (the 12-year Warriors first-round pick is the Knicks', probably around the 15th pick), it doesn't matter, let it be chosen by Sean Marks himself.

Dream chasing is that there may be a buff with the splash, but it doesn't matter if he can't be chosen, this year is indeed a small year, there are not many outstanding players, and Dream Chasing's character may be more powerful than Thomas Jr.

Anyway, there are definitely no good players left in their No. 30 pick this year, don't think too much about missing the draft this year, just pick up a similar one, in addition to Dream Green, Middleton, Jack Crowder, Fournier, General Barton and other players are also okay......

It's all the kind that can be beaten, so it's a big deal to sell it......

And the Warriors' first-round pick, plus the Knicks' own 30 picks, can't be exchanged for Lillard and others, who are popular this year, so they follow fate.

And here Jiang Chao doesn't think about who to choose in this year's draft, and he doesn't think about how the alliance will target him, he doesn't pay much attention to this year's draft, and the circle is completely worried.

Because now, David Stern came to himself with the Autrien Cup!!

What he is thinking about now is whether to take Park Chulong and Li Shishi to go crazy for a night in the away city of Russia after winning the championship.

However, he prefers to go to the home stadium and celebrate when no one is around.

That's right, in the stadium that belongs to him, in the middle of the field, in the locker room, leaving traces of the battle belonging to the boss Jiang Chao in the players' tunnel.

Wouldn't that be particularly cool???

Back at the scene, everyone held up the O'Brien Cup and took a group photo.

All gestures make a "2" sign.

two!!!

Double crown!

Fourth championship in Knicks history.

It is also the only time in the history of the Knicks to defend the championship.
