NBA: Top 3D talents to start

Chapter 123 42 Elimination of Thunder (Part [-])
(There seems to be a mistake in the front. The gold badge is not purple as the reward for winning the championship. I made a mistake. Let me tell you here, sorry.)
When the total score came to 3:1, it was almost a certainty that the Warriors eliminated the Thunder and reached the finals.

Looking at history, there are very few teams that can complete a Jedi comeback when they are behind 1:3.

The 73-win Barnes version of the Warriors who originally staged this scene in the Western Conference Finals counts as one.

In the finals, James led the Cavaliers to complete a comeback.

It's a pity that with Wang Feng's existence, these two comebacks may not be staged.

The Warriors, who won a game away from the Thunder, returned to their home court for Game [-] of the series.

During this period, the league's most important season award, the regular season MVP, finally announced the selection results.

Warriors guard Stephen Curry won back-to-back regular-season MVP awards with the league's first unanimous vote.

There is no suspense in this.

74 wins in the regular season, 35 consecutive victories, the longest in history, plus the luxurious data of 31 points, 5.4 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game. If this is not the regular season MVP, then no one in the entire league is worthy of this award.

Curry, like another time and space, successfully won two consecutive MVPs, proud of the spring breeze, and the Western Conference finals are clear.

On May 5th, the Warriors and the Thunder returned to the home court to start a fierce battle. The two sides played an inextricable battle. The Thunder's side, Westbrook, finally made a comeback after four games in a row, shooting 26 out of 28. Among them, scored 12 points, 31 rebounds and 7 assists, plus Durant's 8 points, the two scored 34 points together, leading the Thunder to win the next game with difficulty 65:120, chasing the score to 117:3.

But this is just a dying struggle unwilling to be eliminated, and the league also secretly made efforts in this game. Durant and Westbrook both got a lot of whistles. The former made 13 of 11 free throws, and the latter made 10 of 8. Obviously, The league prefers to see a division final with more intense confrontation and ups and downs in the process.

By Game [-] of the series, the Warriors never gave the Thunder another chance.

In this game, Klay Thompson showed his terrifying scoring explosive power. He scored 31 points on 14 of 41 shots. Curry scored 22 points on 9 of 31 shots. Wang Feng made fewer shots, but he also made 10 of 7 shots. Got 17 points.

The Warriors scored 89 points with just three outside players!
As for the Thunder, Durant had 29 points and Westbrook had 28 points, but the two made 31 of 10 shots and 27 of 10 shots, and their shooting percentages were around 30%.

Under the huge gap in scoring and shooting percentage, the Thunder struggled tenaciously at home but it didn't help.

126: 117.

The Warriors defeated the Thunder 4:2, ended the Western Conference Finals in 6 games, and successfully reached the Finals.

With the Warriors successfully advancing to the finals, the voice of the Warriors winning the championship is getting louder and louder in the league, and the odds of winning the championship have also soared.

It is hard for people to imagine that a super team that has just broken the Bulls' record of 72 wins will lose the current season championship.

Even in the Eastern Conference finals, the Cleveland Cavaliers also eliminated the Toronto Raptors 4:2, and no one thinks that the Cavaliers can beat the Warriors in the finals.

In the two regular season confrontations between the two teams, the Warriors had the last laugh. The records of the two teams were even more disparate, one with 74 wins and the other with only 57 wins.

The huge gap has even affected the betting company's winning odds.

The odds of the Warriors winning the championship are only 1.35, but the Cavaliers are as high as 2.7, which seems to have killed the suspense in advance.

No one is optimistic that the Cavaliers can win the final championship.

Because Wang Feng's version of the 74-win Warriors is more expressive than the original 73-win Warriors in both the regular season and the playoffs, fans are even more convinced that the Warriors can win.

Wang Feng is actually quite curious. If the Cavaliers are really like in another time and space, when they fell behind 1:3 at the beginning, they fought hard to catch up with the Jedi and come back. Finally, they won 3 games in a row to complete the reversal. How much sensation would it bring to the league? , will it be more exaggerated than another time and space?

However, curiosity is nothing but curiosity, it is impossible for Wang Feng to just sit back and watch the championship slip through his fingers!

After all, winning the championship rewards a gold badge, and nothing can compare to badge rewards!
……

The Eastern and Western finals all ended on May 5. After two days of rest, on May 27, at the home court of the Warriors, the finals officially started!
This is the second time that the Warriors and the Cavaliers have met in the finals. At this moment, the fans may not know that the finals in the next few years will be a battle of bravery.

Although the James Cavaliers are basically in a state of being beaten by the Warriors, it has to be admitted that the game between these two teams in recent years will be the most representative picture in the league.

Since the two teams have studied and analyzed each other countless times in the regular season, they know each other well, and the tactical arrangements of both sides are also very targeted.

In the opening game of the finals, the starting lineup of the Warriors was Curry, Klay Thompson, Wang Feng, Green and Bogut.

The Cavaliers started with Irving, JR Smith, James, Tristan Thompson and Love.

Whether it is the Warriors or the Cavaliers, they are all in the tentative stage at the beginning of the game. They did not choose targeted defensive arrangements and tactics, and it was simply a matchup between the same positions.

In this way, Wang Feng directly faced James.

Wang Feng couldn't defend against James, and there was a huge gap in strength between the two, which was something both sides knew well.

But even so, the Warriors still chose this formation.

The reason is simple, Wang Feng can't guard James, and the other players in the Warriors can't guard either.

Last year's Finals and this year's regular season met twice. Cole tried many methods to try to limit James, Green, Iguodala, and Thompson. But James has always maintained an extremely efficient offensive efficiency and played top stars. personal data.

After careful calculation, whether it is Green or Iguodala, the effect of defending James is not much better than Wang Feng, and even the effect of defensive shooting from the outside is not as good as Wang Feng.

Therefore, Cole made new defensive tactical arrangements in the finals.

Wang Feng mainly defends James' mid-range and long-range shots. If James breaks through and hits the basket, the Warriors' inside players will be responsible for double-teaming. It would be good to contain the offensive rhythm of other Cavaliers players.

This is also the main reason why Wang Feng, who is good at defending the outside line, can mark James and liberate Green, who can take care of defense both inside and outside. Green, who does not need to mark James, can further strengthen the Warriors' inside defense.
