I’m Really Playing Basketball

After the Warriors lost to the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals, there wasn't a lot of frustration inside the Warriors.

In the past five years, the Warriors have won four championships. Let’s just say that, except for Chen Xiao and two rookies this year, most of the team’s players are actually more stressed than hungry for the championship.

Those teams that want to win three consecutive championships will be overwhelmed by the pressure.

This is five consecutive championships. Players, coaches, management, and staff must be full of emotions for five consecutive years. The pressure on a person can be imagined.

It is a pity to be out of the Western Conference Finals this time, but it also brings a lot of relief to many Warriors players.

Chen Xiao also knew about this.

So after the Western Conference finals, Chen Xiao didn't say much, just said to let his teammates rest well, they have worked hard for them in the past few years.

Yes, for these players and teammates of the Warriors who have already won many championships, they can follow Chen Xiao to fight for the championship. This is their affection, not their duty.

They want champions and champions, and they want money and money. At this time, they can fully enjoy life.

Will a Warriors title increase Krai's historical status? Will it increase the historical status of thick eyebrows? Actually not much increase.

Whether the Warriors succeed or win the championship, the one who benefits the most is actually Chen Xiao, followed by Wade and Roger. The others don't actually benefit much.

In this case, it is already lucky to have a group of teammates who are willing to fight with you. How can you ask them to achieve a certain goal?

They have no such obligation and no such responsibility.

If Chen Xiao turned on the hair dryer after he was out of the playoffs because he didn't win the championship or didn't achieve his goal, you won't get the support of your teammates, you'll only make your teammates feel chilled.

Co-authoring we have won so many championships for you before. If you don’t praise it, you will spray it once you fail. So is our previous contribution zeroed and fed to the dog?

And this is also the biggest dilemma for a championship team with many championship players.

The teams are all famous heroes. These heroes have made contributions to the team and the boss. Now they are willing to work hard.

Last season, Nongmei and Kelai Fat became a ball. Chen Xiao was just placating and comforting, and never said heavy words, so as not to make his teammates feel mean and unkind.

Yes, Boss Joe just makes his teammates feel mean and unkind and inauthentic.

The first person in your history was spelled out by us.

We played a little badly and you either sprayed or fought.

Why? !

And this is also after Boss Qiao retired, few of his former teammates bought him.

Boss Qiao's jewels are in front, of course Chen Xiao will not make the mistake of Boss Qiao.

After appeasing and thanking his teammates, coaches, and staff, Chen Xiao flew to Milwaukee with Wade Roger on May 28.

In this finals, Chen Xiao, Wade and Luo Ge will definitely attend.

Because the head players of these two teams are inextricably linked to them.

Durant and Curry are their juniors, the second-generation Marquette Mitaka.

And Paul George, Leonard and Jokic are the students and younger brothers of the three of them.

So much so that before the finals, in the warm-up of the tnt finals, Barkley said with a smile: "A ghost, a ghost of Marquette Mitaka is wandering over the finals!"

Yes, this finals is the second time in the NBA's 17 years that no one of Chen Xiao, Wade and Luo Ge participated in the finals.

But in the finals, there were traces of three people everywhere.

It can be said that Chen Xiao and the other three are the godfathers of the NBA in this era, which is not an exaggeration at all.

After two days of playing at the University of Milwaukee, on May 30, the G1 finals between the Lakers and Bucks officially kicked off.

In Bradley Arena, when Chen Xiao, Wade, and Roger appeared here, the Bucks fans on the scene gave a huge cheer.

Although the three have never played for the Bucks, there is no doubt that the three pioneered the Marquette basketball era and are the pride of Milwaukee as a whole.

It is also the pride of Bradley Arena.

Chen Xiao, Wade, Luo Ge, the bronze statues of the three of them are now outside the Bradley Arena.

Even before this Finals, there was talk all over Milwaukee that if the Bucks won the championship, bronze statues of Durant and Curry would be added outside Bradley Arena.

At the same time, Bradley Arena will be renamed 'Golden Eagle Arena'.

And this discussion has also been supported by the entire Milwaukee.

For the basketball world in Milwaukee, these years, the Golden Eagle has never been avoided, and it is also the greatest existence in the history of Milwaukee sports.

It's fair to say that before the Finals, Milwaukee's fans were truly united.

Of course, on the other side, Bucks players have the same mentality.

This is the Bucks' fourth Finals in six years.

The first three times, all took the runner-up.

And this fourth time, Curry and Durant, as well as these players on the Bucks, have no plans to take the runner-up at all.

The current state of mind of the Bucks players can be described as desperate.

The strength of the Bucks was originally above the Lakers.

Then the mentality of the Bucks players is now so decisive.

In this case, before the finals, the predictions about this finals can be imagined.

Most experts are more optimistic that the Bucks will eventually win the championship, and even predict the score that the problem can be solved within 6 games.

This season's season predictions, most of the predictions of most experts, are not that accurate.

So this time the finals, these experts, will their predictions be biased?

In the G1 of the finals, the Lakers who played away from home, under the leadership of the boss, defeated the Bucks 118-1115 on the road.

The Lakers played very well in this game.

Siakam, who played in the finals for the first time, even scored 14 of 17, 2 of 3 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, 32 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks.

So that after the finals G1 was over, Siakam's finals fmvp odds directly topped the first position.

There is no doubt that Siakam is the best Lakers player in this game.

The best after Siakam is Jokic, who scored 20 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists in 6 of 10. Jokic is very uncomfortable to be guarded by Dream Chasing Green. Although he is tall, Dream Chasing Green is very hard and steals. His defensive skills are also very good, so although his efficiency is high, he doesn't have as many chances to shoot, and the number of shots is not that many.

In addition to these two, Leonard scored 23 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists.

Paul George was 6 of 16, 3 of 9 three-pointers, 1 of 1 free throw, and scored 16 points.

Lowry went 2 for 9 with 7 points and 9 assists.

From the performance of the Lakers' perimeter players in this game, it can be seen that facing the terrifying frontline of the Bucks, the frontline that the Lakers dominated when facing the Warriors became very uncomfortable when attacking.

After all, any striker will feel the scalp tingling when facing Dream Chasing Green, Antetokounmpo, Durant, Yin Godala, and Ariza.

In this game, the Bucks actually took the initiative in the whole game. The reason why they lost was because Siakam exploded inexplicably.

Siakam is very strong, but it is so terrifying that it must be an accident.

Even after the game, the boss and Siakam themselves said that their performance in this game was unbelievable: "Thanks to Nikola for restraining, thanks to Paul, Kawhi, Lowry and their passing, I seized the opportunity! "

Yes, in this game, Siakam used Antetokounmpo to help defend the perimeter and Jokic's gap, and almost seized all the opportunities.

Obviously, although the Bucks have attached great importance to Siakam, they still do not attach enough importance to Siakam.

Otherwise, Antetokounmpo’s main task in this game will be to help defend inside and outside, instead of defending Siakam full-time.

Obviously, after the Bucks lost in g1, Ray Allen also found this problem, so in g2, Antetokounmpo was not anywhere to help.

Lowry played against Curry, let Lowry play, one-on-one.

Jokic played against Dream Chasing Green, and let Jokic play, just one-on-one.

The Bucks' defense in this game instantly became the defensive mode of the Warriors and the Lakers in the Western Finals, that is, the control of the area, allowing the Lakers to single.

In the final game of G2, the Bucks beat the Lakers 129-110 at home.

In the last game of Super God Siakam, this game against Antetokounmpo's serious single defense, the audience was 5 of 18, and only scored 12 points.

Against Durant, Leonard still played very restricted, scoring 28 points on 8 of 20, 2 of 9 three-pointers, and 10 of 10 free throws.

Paul George was 7-for-17, 2-for-8 against Yin Godala and scored 17 points.

However, the singles match between Jokic and Lowry, which made Ray Allen a little worried, did not come out. Lowry played against Curry, only 4 of 11, 3 of 7 three-pointers, and 2 of 3 free throws. Got 13 points.

Seriously, Lowry didn't have the form he could play against and shoot against Devin Booker against Curry.

And the reason is that Curry's defense is really good now. More importantly, Curry is really working hard. He will post it immediately if he falls down. Even if he can't resist, he will fight hard. After following Chen Xiao for so many years, Curry's defensive skills In fact, it is very good, basically not out of place.

At this point, Devin Booker is a lot worse.

At the same time, Jokic, who can single against Green's 5-for-14, scored 14 points in this game, and his performance was average.

This is actually normal. Lowry didn’t destroy Curry, which gave Antetokounmpo a lot of time and space to help defend Jokic in addition to defending Siakam alone.

But if Lowry is stronger against Curry, and Siakam is stronger against Antetokounmpo, Jokic doesn’t have to work so hard.

But obviously, just like the Lakers playing against the Warriors, their own strikers take advantage of the situation, so the situation is dominant.

When the Bucks faced the Lakers, it was the side with the dominant striker, and the dominant team in the game was naturally replaced by the Bucks.

The finals came to the crucial g3, and it was the boss’ turn to adjust. This game is known as Little Heavenly King Mountain, which is extremely important to the trend of the entire training game. If the Bucks lose g3, they will be behind 1-2 in three home games. , there is the worry of not coming back.

Therefore, the Lakers are definitely going to win this game.

When the strength is not as good as the Bucks, what you need to win the championship is to win key games.

G3 is the key game that the Lakers must grab.

So in this game, the Lakers team rotated 7 people, and even the starting five played more than 40 minutes.

At the same time, the boss of this game obviously made Jokic and Lowry attack more resolutely.

In the end, Leonard scored 9 of 17, 2 of 6 three-pointers, 10 of 11 free throws, and scored 30 points.

Lowry went 8 of 16, 5 of 9 three-pointers, and scored 23 points and 9 assists.

Paul George went 10 of 19, 9 of 16 three-pointers, and scored 29 points

Siakam went 8 of 16 and scored 18 points.

Jokic was 6 of 12, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 16 points, 7 rebounds and 10 assists.

To tell the truth, Ke Boss's desperate move was really close to winning.

The Lakers' five starters were almost perfect.

But you are perfect, and the opponent is also perfect. In this game, Curry scored 14 of 31, 6 of 14 three-pointers, 13 of 14 free throws, and scored 47 points.

At the same time, Durant scored 12 of 20 points in this game, 5 of 8 three-pointers, 10 of 10 free throws, and scored 39 points.

The two scored 86 points in this game!

Coupled with Antetokounmpo's 28 points, the Bucks' Big Three scored 114 points in this game. How can people beat this?

In the end, the Bucks beat the Lakers 130-123 at home, making the big score 2-1.

The loss of Xiaotianwang Mountain is very disadvantageous to the weaker Lakers.

However, G4, the Lakers who returned to the home court, relied on Nick Young's 9-of-12 performance from the bench, and the crazy performance of 20 points, plus Leonard's 11-of-22 game, 5-of-9 from three-pointers, and free throws 9 of 9, 36 points, 12 rebounds and 4 steals, beat the Warriors 131-128 at home.

The most exciting part of this game is the soaring points between Leonard and Durant.

In this game, Durant made 18 of 31, 4 of 7 three-pointers, 11 of 12 free throws, 51 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists. Defense, hit a super fairy buzzer-beater.

It's a pity that with Durant in overtime, Leonard's physical problems were unable to attack. The Bucks' Curry played poorly throughout the game, and Antetokounmpo was unable to move at the critical moment. The problem has not changed, and Siakam on the opposite side scored 7 points in overtime and finally led the Lakers to win.

At the end of the game, Curry fell from a tie with Durant on the fmvp odds list and dropped to third.

Durant temporarily first, Leonard second.

Curry performed very well in the first three games, but this g4, 9 of 24 in the audience, is indeed substandard.

Fortunately, in g5, Curry made 10 of 23 shots, 5 of 14 three-pointers, and 6 of 6 free throws. He scored 31 points in the game, which is regarded as recovering some form.

But in this game, the Bucks' Durant is still the most dazzling.

In the first quarter of this game, Durant focused most of his energy on defending Leonard, offensively, not holding the ball, not breaking through, just like a person with an Achilles injury, standing there as a fixed point shooter.

What happened?

In the first quarter, Durant, who completely gave up his own offense, scored 4 of 5, 3 of 3 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 14 points in a single quarter.

Leonard was 2 of 6, 2 of 3 free throws, just 6 points and 3 turnovers.

In the end, the Bucks won a very precious victory on the road with a score of 116 to 105, and also made the big score 3 to 2 and got the match point.

More desperate for the Lakers and Kobe than the victory is that the Bucks seem to have found a way to deal with the Lakers.

Just like g5, Durant gave up his own offense, handed over all the ball control to Curry, and concentrated on defending Leonard by himself, and the offense was being a Dirk Nowitzki, which was extremely damaging to the Lakers.

G5, Leonard made 9 of 24, 26 points, 12 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks and 5 turnovers. The data is good, but unqualified.

Just as the boss worried, g6, the Bucks repeated the same trick, although the boss has increased the weight of the offense of other Lakers players.

It made Paul George 26 points, Lowry 26 points, Jokic 22 points, Siakam 15 points, but Leonard was 7 of 16 and 1 of 5 three-pointers, and his performance was still not very good with only 22 points.

Especially when it comes to the critical moment of the game, when it matters, when Paul George repeatedly misses and needs Leonard to stand up.

Durant faced Leonard with 6 of 6 in the last quarter, scoring 12 points in a single quarter, all of which were mid-range singles against Leonard.

In the final quarter, Leonard was 0 for 4, 0 for 2 from 3-pointers, 3 for 3 free throws, and scored 3 points.

This performance is definitely unqualified, and in the end, the Lakers also lost to the Bucks 115-122 at Bradley Arena.

After beating the Lakers to win the championship, Durant and Curry all cried as soon as the game was over.

And Ray Allen.

This is the fourth finals between Durant and Curry, and finally won the championship!

At the same time, this is also Ray Allen's first championship. Although he won it as a head coach, he still won it.

Looking at Durant holding his mother in pain, Chen Xiao was actually quite moved.

Durant is the apprentice he and Jordan jointly taught.

He is the only S-level player in the current NBA.

Now there are only three S-level players left in the entire league: Durant, Chen Xiao, and James.

Seriously, Durant was able to stick to Milwaukee, the northern land, for 12 years. This is really not easy.

From the age of 19 to the age of 31, I finally got my wish.

The finals are over, and in the end, this year's fmvp was also awarded to Durant.

In this series, Durant averaged 35.2 points, 9 rebounds, 6.4 rebounds, 2 steals and 2.5 blocks per game. He shot 55% from the field and 58% from three-pointers. He played what Barkley and Maizi said was comparable to Chen Xiaohe. Jordan's epic Finals.

The key is that in these six games, Durant was excellent in every game, and none of them pulled his hips.

That's better than Curry and Leonard. UU reading www. uukanshu.com

Leonard averaged 28.5 points, 9.8 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game in this finals, but he was only shooting 44% from the field and only 35% from three-point range.

Although Curry averaged 30.5 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists per game, his shooting rate was also only 42%, and his three-point shooting rate was only 39%.

So Durant's fmvp in this year's finals is well-deserved.

The Bucks wouldn't have been able to beat the Lakers without his consistency in every game and his critical moments.

Even replacing Durant with any A-level small forward in the league, the Bucks probably won't be able to win.

In this year's finals, Leonard is really strong. There is no S-rank, and he can't hold back at all, not even a normal S-rank.

It needs a small forward with longer hands, longer feet, higher and faster like Durant.

In short, the new king of the nba was born.
