Chapter 192: Finals, Riding Brave Battle

The Eastern and Western Finals are in full swing, and the final awards of the league season have finally been announced.

The first is the most important regular season MVP, and sure enough, there is no suspense in this award, and it is won by Thunder guard Russell, who averages a triple-double per game. Westbrook gets.

Although the Thunder's record this season is very ordinary, with a 47-35 record in the regular season and a big elimination in the first round of the playoffs, Westbrook's average of 31.6 points, 10.7 rebounds and 10.4 assists per game is so amazing that anyone will be shocked by his individual performance.

As a result, despite the team's poor record, Westbrook defeated a number of contenders to become the '17 regular season MVP.

The best defensive player was eventually won by Green.

Compared with Wang Feng, Gobert and other defensive giants, Green still has a more obvious advantage.

As for the Best Rookie, Most Improved Player, and Sixth Man of the Year awards, they are not too important to mention.

……

A few days after the season awards were announced, the Eastern and Western finals were all over.

In the East, the game came to the home of the Celtics, known as the North Shore Garden Arena, known as the home of the Devils, but the home bonus did not allow the Celtics to win even one game.

112:99,129:120。

In the two away games, the Cavaliers won the game neatly, swept the Celtics with a total score of 4:0, and entered the finals with their heads held high.

In the four-game series, in the face of the Celtics, who mainly focus on joint defense, Wang Feng became the first offensive core, averaging 31.2 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.1 steals per game, shooting more than 50% from the field, and the efficiency is amazing.

James was as efficient as ever, scoring less than in the previous two games, but still had 27 points, 6.4 rebounds and 6.8 assists.

In addition to the two, Irving is averaging 19.8 points per game, and Love also has 17 points.

The four starters have scored nearly 100 points combined, and their super scoring ability has completely made up for the weakness of the Cavaliers' bench.

On the other hand, on the Celtics' side, the team's top scorer was Avery Avery, who is known for his defense. Bradley, the team's No. 1 offensive core Isaiah. Thomas had to miss all the games after the second race due to an aggravated hip injury, and his first two games were disappointing.

On the other side, in the Western Conference Finals, the Warriors also eliminated the Spurs 4-0 without any surprises to enter the finals.

As a result, this season, the teams in the East and West that entered the Finals eliminated all the teams in the first three rounds of the playoffs with a 4-0 sweep, which is unique even in the history of the NBA.

The brave battle, Mars hitting the earth, is finally coming!

……

On June 1, 2017, the first game of the finals was played at the Oracle Arena, the home of the Golden State Warriors.

Before the start of the game, the entire Warriors' arena was dressed up in a sea of gold, and all the home fans were wearing yellow T-shirts that represented the Warriors' home color, cheering and screaming loudly.

For the Warriors, who have won two championships in a row, this season will be the moment when they will win their third championship trophy and forge their first true dynasty since the 20th century!

The NBA's dynasty, according to popular parlance, must be three consecutive championships.

The two triple championships of Jordan's Bulls era, as well as the Lakers' OK combination winning three consecutive championships in 99, 01, and 02, are undisputed dynasties.

However, with the development of the league and the emergence of many strong teams, no team in the league has achieved the great feat of three consecutive championships in the past ten years.

The closest to the dynasty are the Lakers who won two consecutive championships in 10 years, the Heat who won two consecutive championships in 13 years, and the Warriors who won two consecutive championships at this stage.

The first two teams are history, and the Warriors are just one step away from building a dynasty with three consecutive championships!

……

"Charles, after half a year, the bet contract between the two of us is finally about to be fulfilled!"

In the TNT studio, looking at the camera, O'Neill's smile was very happy.

The Christmas game ended in his victory, making him invincible in the bet, and even if the Cavaliers lost in the finals, the two only played to a 1-1 draw.

But if the winner of the Finals is the Cavaliers, that's interesting.

As long as he imagined Barkley running around the TNT headquarters building wearing only a pair of underwear, he felt inexplicably excited.

"Hmph, are you so happy?"

Barkley glanced at O'Neal and said, "The series hasn't started yet!" You have to understand that the vast majority of pre-game media predictions are biased in favor of the Warriors winning the final game. ”

Although the Warriors' performance this season has been disappointing, it is only against the Warriors who won 74 last year.

The Warriors, who have the best regular season record in the league, are definitely the strongest among the 30 teams this season.

He ranks first in the league in scoring efficiency, first in the league in points per game, and even in defensive efficiency, he can rank among the top few in the league.

In these aspects, even the Cavaliers can only obediently rank behind the Warriors.

And although the Cavaliers completed the double kill of the Warriors in the regular season, it is just a reference after all, the regular season and the playoffs are different, and when the Warriors were at home in the second game, Curry was still out due to injury, otherwise it is difficult to say who will win or lose.

……

"It's been a long time......"

On the court, Wang Feng looked at the golden Warriors' home court, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly, feeling nostalgic.

Such a scene can only occur in the finals of the East and West and the finals, and the last time Wang Feng saw the whole court completely covered by golden yellow was at this time last year.

A year passed in a blink of an eye, and he was now wearing a dark red Cavaliers jersey and standing opposite the Warriors.

Wang Feng's eyes looked at the other side of the court, stayed on Curry, Thompson and other old teammates for a moment, and did not take the initiative to go over to greet the other party, and the other party obviously had the same idea.

This Finals, whether for either the Cavaliers or the Warriors, must not be defeated.

Coupled with the Heat period, James, who has fallen in the Finals for three consecutive years, has no way to retreat, if he continues to fail, his reputation and historical status will suffer a serious blow, and even Curry will quickly catch up and surpass him, then he will completely become a laughing stock, and the title of the first person in the league will also change hands.

On the other side, the same is true for the Warriors.

Three consecutive championships to create a dynasty is the obsession of the whole Warriors, and for Durant, who has abandoned some of them, if he fails to win the championship in this situation, what awaits him will be a worse result than James.

Sarcasm, ridicule, and invective, these will always accompany Durant in the rest of his career, and there will never be a day to turn over!
