The Lakers eliminated the Thunder with a total score of 4:2, which was a big upset.

After all, before the start of the first-round series, more people are generally more optimistic that the Thunder team with the Big Three configuration can advance, and they are also very much looking forward to seeing the Warriors Big Four VS Thunder Big Three, and the drama of the former brothers between Durant and Westbrook

But apparently the Lakers are the team that plays better, or Wang Feng plays better than the Thunder Big Three.

In the 6-game series, Wang Feng averaged 38 points and 9.5 rebounds per game, shooting 53% from the field, and the three-point shooting rate remained above 45% as always.

In the first round of the entire series, there are only two players who can be comparable to Wang Feng in terms of individual performance, namely James, the star of the Cavaliers who fought with the Pacers in the East for seven games and advanced to the second round.

In 18 years, Thanos Zhan really didn't have a wasted name, he almost single-handedly dragged the Cavaliers to win the tie-breaker, averaging 34.4 points, 10 rebounds and 7.7 assists per game in the 7-game series, with a 55.3% shooting rate even higher than Wang Feng.

The other is the New Orleans Pelicans, the bushy brother Anthony. Davis showed strong interior offensive strength in the playoffs, averaging 33 points and 11.8 rebounds per game while shooting 57.6% from the field.

However, the Pelicans' record in the first round of the playoffs was 0:4 and they were swept out of the tournament.

There is no way, they are facing the strongest Warriors in the entire league.

Last season's Finals collapse made the Warriors' players pay more attention to this playoffs, and with the Cavaliers already disintegrated, they are the best in the league!

Swept Anthony with ease. After Davis' Pelicans, they entered the second round against the Lakers, who eliminated the Thunder.

……

"I must admit that the Lakers this season have brought us too many surprises, not only did they enter the playoffs with the third record in the West, but they also eliminated the Thunder led by the Big Three and entered the division semifinals."

"But it's a pity that their playoff journey ends here, the strength of the Warriors and the Lakers is not in the same dimension at all, there will be no suspense in this round of matchups, even Wang Feng can't bring a miracle, after all, the gap between the two sides is too big."

A famous basketball commentator in the United States, Charles has suffered big losses in Da Yao and Wang Feng respectively. Barkley said frankly to the camera.

And this time, O'Neal, who has always been at odds with Barkley, can't refute it.

"Unfortunately, you're right, the difference between the two teams is too huge, the Lakers' salary this season is just over $113 million, including a $17 million salary Ruel Deng, the Golden State Warriors have a salary of up to $135 million, and they have four All-Star level players."

"What the Lakers need to think about now is how to recruit another top superstar in the free market to further strengthen the team and make it eligible for the championship."

As it turned out, they were right.

The Warriors defeated the Lakers 4-1 in the second round and successfully advanced to the Western Conference Finals, while the Lakers stopped in the Western Conference semifinals and were eliminated.

This result is not surprising to everyone, but in the five series between the two teams, Wang Feng once again shocked the four.

In 5 games, Wang Feng averaged 40.2 points, 13 rebounds and 3 steals per game, although because he was chased and intercepted by Green, Yin Godala, Thompson and other defensive giants throughout the game, the shooting rate was reduced from 53% in the first round to only about 41%, but the super scoring ability still conquered everyone.

Although defeated, the four words are not too much to use on Wang Feng.

It's just that no matter how you blow it, it is an indisputable fact that Wang Feng and the Lakers' playoff journey has ended here, and the subsequent playoffs have nothing to do with them.

After the last match, at the press conference.

"Mr. Wang Feng, this season is the first time in your career that you have missed the division finals or even the finals, how do you feel about this?"

Facing the reporter's question, Wang Feng shook his head with a smile.

"If you think about it...... It's a bit complicated, it's a lie to say that I'm not disappointed, after all, this is the first time I've lost a playoff series, but at the same time, I have a sense of accomplishment. ”

"In the first three seasons, although I got championship rings, in the end, they didn't get them with me as the core, and now I want more than just championship rings, I want to get more, such as regular season MVP, finals FMVP."

"Obviously, only when you come to such a team and become the core leader of the team will you have this opportunity! So here I am! ”

"We lost this season, but next season we will come back, and we will get stronger and better, and the championship will be mine!"

It didn't take long for Wang Feng's speech at the press conference to be confirmed.

On May 25, the Eastern and Western Conference finals were still in full swing, and the league announced the results of the Team of the Season and Team of the Season and Team of the Year.

Wang Feng was selected as the best team and the best defensive team at the same time without any suspense.

He was joined by Lillard of the Trail Blazers, Harden of the Rockets, James of the Cavaliers and Davis of the Pelicans.

The five spots in the best second team are Westbrook of the Thunder, DeRozan of the Dragons, Antetokounmpo of the Bucks, Durant of the Thunder and Embiid of the 76ers.

The best three teams are Curry of the Warriors, Oladipo of the Pacers, George of the Thunder, Butler and Towns of the Timberwolves.

This is the first time in Wang's career that he has been selected to the best team, after only winning the best third team and second team with the Warriors and Cavaliers, respectively.

Although they are all in the best team, the first team is clearly much more valuable than the latter, after all, the selection of the first team represents the best performer in their respective positions this season.

If Wang Feng continues to stay with the Cavaliers this season, I am afraid he will still not be selected to the best team, because the Cavaliers have James, and he will not be able to get so many balls, averaging more than 24 shots per game.

And being selected for the best team is just an appetizer for Wang Feng.

Because there is also the league's most valuable honor, the regular season MVP has not yet been announced.

The 2017-18 NBA Awards Ceremony is scheduled for June 26, and the NBA playoffs will conclude before that.

When it comes to the finals of the East and West, they are the Western Warriors vs the Rockets and the Eastern Cavaliers vs the Celtics.

And the trend of the game is actually the same as the historical process in another time and space.

The East and West played seven games until the end, and the Warriors and Cavaliers won the eventually.

The Warriors and Cavaliers will meet in the Finals for the fourth year in a row.
