The Eastern Conference Finals are still underway, and no one doubts that the Kings will complete a three-game winning streak this season.Thunder management is ready to make a big trade in the summer to send Aldridge away.With only one year left on his contract, Ade has trade value, and the Thunder will have to pay the luxury tax next season if they maintain a three-plus Ibaka roster.If Ade doesn't leave, the Thunder don't have the salary space to bring in powerful role players, and the bench strength is poor, they won't win the championship, and no team can win the championship with just a few people.Losing to the Kings this time, the Thunder players are very calm, their strength is not as good as others, and they are used to losing.In seven games in the Eastern Conference, the Nets eliminated the Pacers 4-3 to advance.Garnett vs.
Hibbert, West vs.
Randolph are all half-hearted, George is slightly better than Pierce, scoring guard Joe Johnson is slightly better than Stephenson, and Paul is beating George Hill.The two teams off the bench were about the same strength, and Paul became the key to winning and losing, scoring points, assists, and defending everything.If Granger hadn't been reimbursed, the situation might have been completely different, with the Pacers being too back.After Paul left the Hornets, he immediately made a breakthrough in his record, reaching the Finals for the first time, and even if he couldn't win against the Kings, he was also recognized as the No. 1 point guard.ESN organized a 13-man expert panel to predict the outcome of the game, and none of them thought the Nets would win the championship, and 12 thought the Kings would sweep the championship, which is even more disparity than last season's series against the Heat.Bookmakers also generally believe that there is no gambling in this finals, and everyone will buy the king to win, and they can only make a fuss about how many points they win.For this situation, the Nets players have mixed feelings.On the one hand, it is an honor to enter the finals, but on the other hand, it is the role of "accompanying the prince to study", and I don't know how to defeat this king.Paul could only keep a low profile: "It's my first time playing in the Finals, and there is a gap between the Nets and the Kings, so we'll play with the mentality of giving it a try, fight hard, and try to play as well as possible."
I can accept losing. ”Randolph is more like a capitulation."
As long as I can win one game, I think it's done, I don't want the Kings to win all the playoffs, but they're just too strong."
Garnett refused to be interviewed, his desire to win should have been the strongest, but he completely lost his self-confidence, sadly thinking about whether he would not be able to win the championship if he did not join the Kings Any veteran may join the Kings, except Garnett.He felt that if he hugged Wang Jun's thigh, it would be better to stab him directly.If he said this kind of thought, the "hard and black" people would definitely laugh at him for not being as good as Pierce, people were still alive after eleven knives, and you died with one knife It's so soft.Focus on the wrong point, once the player loses confidence, his form will drop sharply, and Garnett is already on the road to a dead end.On June 6, the first battle between the two sides began.James played as the starting power forward, against Randolph, and recorded a triple-double of 24 points, 18 rebounds and 10 assists in the first game.He's used to playing power forward, and it's not a cameo.Wang Jun scored 32 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals, beating Pierce, who only had 14 points and 6 rebounds.Wang Jun, Curry, Carter, Thomas, Ray Allen and others actively played fast attacks, making opponents complain.The Nets' most experienced are the Celtics' big two, which are slower and a weakness in fast-paced games.Paul wanted to launch a counterattack and couldn't play, so he could only land on the ground, break through and be trapped, and wait for opportunities on the periphery, and his teammates couldn't attract the bag and create open opportunities.The Big Five completely disrupted the set, losing 118-86.In the second game, James was blocked, and the Nets used joint defense, and when James broke through, the formation contracted, forcing him to distribute the ball.As a result, Wang Jun got a lot of heads-up opportunities, did not miss the opportunity, and scored again and again in the face of Joe Johnson.In order to defend him on the counterattack, Pierce was troubled by a foul and was replaced early.Stackhouse couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the game, Watson played a two-guard defense and was also terrible, and Bleccher, who rotated inside, was strong in attack and weak in defense.111-88, the Nets lost one more game.This time, they played all the hole cards, joint defense, ferocious fouls, and strong attacks on the inside, all of which could not gain an advantage.Garnett was the most disappointing, not being able to beat Brand or Vucevic alone.If he can't score, it won't be too controversial, he doesn't dare to attack at all, and only averages 6 shots per game.He sees himself as a blue-collar worker, completely dependent on his teammates on the offensive end.Back at home, the Nets still can't solve the defensive problem.They can beat the Heat and the Pacers by relying on stronger offense, not defense.Relying on the ability of the stars and the advantage of the bench, the Kings won another game 108-85 and led the overall score 3-0.The ratings for the finals were dismal, and the fans felt that the Nets were too weak, waiting to see the news, knowing the score, and felt that there was no need to watch the game.Wang Jun played a double-double, with 30 points, 4 rebounds and 12 assists.In the final game, Randolph, the Nets' leading scorer, was out of sorts, shooting 4-of-13 and 5-of-8 from the free-throw line, scoring only 13 points and 8 rebounds.Garnett finished with six points, seven rebounds and two assists on 3-of-5 shooting.Bleche defended poorly, playing only around 15 minutes and didn't play much.The Nets, who lost the support of interior firepower, scored only 78 points in the game.The Kings broke through sharply, scored three points accurately, won 121-78, and completed the sweep again.The more the players win, the more relaxed they are and the better they play.Thomas, in particular, averaged 16 points per game in the Finals and became the best sixth man.Pierce was the worst player in the Finals, averaging 137 points, 45 rebounds and 2 assists per game.The stats look pretty good, with a miserable shooting percentage of 368 overall and 263 three-point shooting.In the fourth game, Van Gundy commented: "The best defensive team does not have Wang Jun, this selection can be canceled, will anyone in this world believe that Bradley's defense is better than Wang Jun, he makes the opponent completely helpless." ”Zhang Li also thinks that Wang Jun's defense is absolutely superb, who he defends on the outside, who eats deflated, and the strength and lateral speed make it impossible to get rid of the ball at all.Yu Jia said unevenly: "The league can not let Wang Jun enter the defensive lineup, but there is no way to prevent him from winning the championship, and there is no way to prevent him from creating the most terrifying record in NBA history."
For the entire season, the Kings lost just two games and won all of their playoffs. ”Stern sat on the sidelines, smiling wryly.Vice President Adam Xiao Hua lifted his glasses and looked at James thoughtfully.He intends to contact James in the summer and convince him to jump out of his contract and leave the Kings next season anyway.It's not that 11 is greater than 2, but that 11 equals invincibility, and the NBA has lost the competition.Wang Jun averaged 315 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals per game, shooting 482 from the field, 477 from three-point range, and 90 from the free throw line, winning another Finals V.James didn't play well in two games, scoring 233 points, 11 rebounds and 75 assists, which was comprehensive enough, with a low shooting percentage and much less points than Wang Jun.Carter, Ray Allen, Curry, and Thomas also contributed to the championship, and someone stepped up to help the stars share the pressure every game.Paul and the others returned to the locker room, and the atmosphere was eerily silent.Reaching the finals does not mean success, and maybe losing is ugly, as in the first two seasons, the Heat were an example.Now, Paul understands Wade's pain, and the feeling of being beaten is too unpleasant.Russian owner Prokhorov has a headache, the team's salary has exploded, who will change in the summer to hit the championship:
