Not many people are optimistic that the Lakers can beat the Warriors, and even if they do, there are only a handful of them, even within the Lakers, including the management and coaching staff.

Wang Feng can even be seen, including head coach Luke Wharton, general manager Erwin. Johnson, including Johnson, had a big smile on his face in the days leading up to the start of the Western Conference finals.

For them, what the Lakers have achieved so far is enough to prove their ability.

This is the third year of Wharton's coaching career, except for the first 16-17 season in the league, the team returned to the playoffs the following year and reached the division semifinals, and this year he reached the division finals with the first record in the league.

Not surprisingly, this year's league coach of the year award must be his.

And the general manager Erwin. Johnson is even less stressed, and in his two years as general manager, the Lakers' record is better than in the past ten years!

Of course, although they thought so in their hearts, they didn't say these words directly, on the surface, they still had the idea of how far they could go, and if they could really overturn the Warriors to reach the Finals or even win the championship, wouldn't it be better to continue to inspire the Lakers players.

But it can be seen from their tone and demeanor that even if the Lakers lose the game, they won't care much.

Is losing to the Golden State Warriors something humiliating?

Ingram, Kuzma and other young players are easy to deceive, they are all stunned, and after some encouraging words and encouragement, they are like chicken blood, screaming, and they look like they are willing to dare to pull the emperor off the horse.

However, the veterans with a little experience in the team were indifferent, and they had already judged from the attitude of the head coach and the general manager what they were thinking.

Fortunately, this is limited to a few veterans, such as Rondo, Rose, López and McGee.

It's good for them to win, but it's a bit of a stretch to fight for an unlikely victory, and possibly to risk injury, because being able to extend the length of their career as much as possible is the most important thing for them at the moment.

In contrast, Wang Feng attaches more importance to Jimmy. Butler's attitude.

The toughest ** in the league obviously didn't mean to admit it in advance.

In the past few days, I have been very serious in training, and I even practiced three-point shooting to prepare for everything.

Seeing Butler like this, Wang Feng was relieved, after all, he was really ready to overturn the Warriors and lift the championship trophy! If the second leader of the team has a bad attitude and drags his feet, it will be troublesome.

……

Before the start of the Western Conference Finals, the league's All-NBA selection was finally announced.

Wang Feng has no suspense, and he is also selected as the best team and one defense for the second year in a row.

In addition to Wang Feng, who averaged 38.6 points, 12.4 rebounds and 2.5 steals per game, there were Antetokounmpo with 28 points, 12.5 rebounds and 5.9 assists, Stephen Curry, who averaged 27.3 points, 5 assists and 5 rebounds per game, James Harden, who averaged 36 points, 6.6 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game, and Nicola, a center who averaged 20+10.8+7.3 per game. Jokic.

Wang Feng squeezed out the Thunder forward Paul George, who averaged 28 points, 8.2 rebounds and 4 assists per game in another time and space.

George was selected for the best second team after being squeezed out of the first team, along with Kowai. Leonard, Joel. Embiid, Carry. Owen, Damian. Lillard.

Kevin Durant, who averaged 26 points, 6.4 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game, was squeezed into the best three teams, tied with LeBron James, Russell Westbrook, Kemba Walker and Rudy Gobert.

Approaching the 2020 year, the forward position has become more and more volatile, there are too many strong players in the forward line, and there will be more and more players such as Luca in the next few years. Doncic, Zion. Williamson and other strong strikers continue to emerge.

The five players in the best defensive team are basically new faces

In addition to Wang Feng and Gobert, Antetokounmpo, Bucks guard Eric Brown. Bledsoe and Celtic guard Marcus. All three Smart were named to the best first defense team for the first time in their careers.

The unluckiest of all was Paul. George, who should have been selected for the best team and one defense at the same time this season, because of Wang Feng's sideways, both the best team and the best defensive team fell one notch, and he could only squeeze out Drummond with tears. Green, with Kawai. Leonard, Joel. Embiid, Klay. Thompson and Zhu. Holiday was named to the All-Defensive Second Team with four players.

The announcement of the All-NBA and All-Defensive Team rosters caused a heated discussion in the league, but the heat did not last long, as the finals of the East and West were about to start.

On the Eastern side, like another plane, the two teams that broke into the Eastern Conference finals were the Toronto Raptors and the Milwaukee Bucks.

No more Jimmy. Butler's 76ers didn't make much trouble for the Raptors in the divisional semifinals, and the series didn't reach the tiebreaker, which was resolved in six games, 4:2.

The Raptors and Bucks faced off at the peak of the Eastern Conference Finals, and most fans were still more optimistic about the Bucks winning.

Antetokounmpo has been really dominant this season, and the Bucks are the only two teams in the league to have 60+ wins in the regular season.

I'm afraid no one would have imagined that it was the Raptors who had the last laugh, and the total score of the two teams in the East Final was 4:2.

It's like most people predict that the Golden State Warriors will win the Western Conference Finals.

Of course, the situation in the East-West finals is still a little different.

Although many people in the East are more optimistic about the Bucks, it is still a matchup overall.

But this side of the West...... is not to underestimate the Lakers, the current lineup of the Warriors, no matter which team in the league is faced, is a dimensionality reduction blow.

On May 14, the G1 of the Western Conference Finals Series began.

At the Staples Center, home of the Lakers, fans filled the entire arena early, and the noise resounded throughout the arena.

"It's finally time for me to look forward to this moment!"

In the studio, O'Neal smiled: "Charles, the Western Conference Finals are coming, as I thought, the Western Conference Finals are really a matchup between the Warriors and the Lakers, do you remember the topic we talked about in the first round a month ago?" ”

"Of course I do!" Barkley looked particularly excited. "I've been thinking about how to make a fool of you this month, and now I've figured it out! Whoever loses, the next week, including the live broadcast of the finals, will be carried out in women's clothing! ”

Finally seized a chance to retaliate, Barkley can be regarded as open-minded, before the start of today's live broadcast, Barkley has communicated with TNT's senior management in advance, so he dares to say this directly.

"Good! Guts! ”

O'Neill gave a thumbs up to Barkley, "I'll fight you for this bet!" I bet the Warriors will win! ”
