Chapter 344 Championship mode, the finals begin

Coincidentally, the night after the Bulls defeated the Heat 4-1 to advance to the Finals, another Finals team also came out of the Western Conference.

The Thunder relied on being younger, more energetic, and healthier to defeat the aging Spurs in the tiebreaker.

In this way, the two participating teams in this year's finals have certain similarities, that is, the core lineup is mainly composed of fledgling league stars.

Even though Duen has accumulated many honors, he is still very young in terms of age, not more than 30 years old.

This has caused many media and teams to start to reflect on whether some teams have formed multi-giant lineups in recent years to compete for the championship. Is it appropriate?

To be honest, the Lakers have achieved success through this model, which indeed proves that it is possible to win the championship by forming a multi-giant team.

However, the evidence does not stand alone.

After all, other teams have adopted the same approach, but they have all ended in failure, at least so far.

It is also because currently only the Lakers have put together a multi-giant lineup to finally achieve their goal of winning the championship.

The Lakers' success is still an exception.

The Bulls have proven with actual actions that Dunn has the ability to lead the team to the Eastern Conference Finals every year, but it took two years of rebuilding and it was not until the third year that they were able to reach the finals again.

The Lakers won the championship again in the past two years, and it is difficult to explain that it was achieved by forming a multi-giant lineup.

However, there are only a few teams in big cities, and the business models and survival methods of small football markets and large football markets are completely different.

Going back in time, the Spurs also had a cornerstone like Duncan first, with David Robinson as a helper to win a championship first. Without Duncan's helper, they waited until Parker and Ginobili to return to the championship sequence. among.

A careful analysis of the Lakers' championship model reveals that it's still the same old formula.

In essence, the Lakers and Bulls are the same. With a wealthy background and a big market, it is easier to win the championship.

Therefore, for the vast majority of teams in the league, the championship model does not seem to have changed.

This allowed some teams that were eager to compete for the championship to slowly regain their composure.

Yes, the Lakers have succeeded, but the problem is that the Lakers themselves are one of the most successful teams in the league!

Looking at the Bulls, who have been so prosperous in recent years, didn't they take off after getting Duen?

It is also the team that has won the most championships in the past ten years.

Is it really appropriate to trade away draft picks, trade away the future, and pile up All-Stars to compete for the championship?

But without the cornerstone of winning the championship, it can only be quiet for a period of time.

First, establish Kobe as the cornerstone of the championship, and then piece together the other championship puzzle pieces.

The Lakers were able to win a second consecutive championship after O'Neal left because they, as a wealthy team, have enough chips and foundation.

Of course, it’s not enough to just have a cornerstone without other helpers to contribute.

If we really want to analyze the Lakers' championship factors, Kobe's leadership ability as the leader, Jackson as the head coach with the most experience in active championships, and the fact that the Lakers are located in a big city like Los Angeles must be taken into consideration.

It's just that with the development of the times, people's hearts have become more impetuous. Teams are eager for quick success, and so are the stars.

Small ball markets are not as easy to recruit All-Star players as teams in large markets, nor are they easy to recruit in the free market.

If they want to hit the championship, they can only train or trade to obtain a cornerstone, and then rely on training rookies and receiving rookie bonuses to try hard.

In fact, in this year's finals, small-market teams like the Thunder should be praised and encouraged for reaching the finals by relying on the rookies they selected and the rookie bonus. The Thunder's players are particularly inspiring, which is also an excellent encouragement to most small-market teams in the league.

However, teams in small ball markets have few fans, and the Thunder itself lacks stars and attention, which results in the playoff ratings not being as good as before.

From the fact that the Western Conference finals are not as high as the Western Conference semifinals, it can be seen that the Thunder and Spurs are not as optimistic and loved by the vast majority of fans as the Bulls and Heat.

Of course, the Bulls have reached the finals, so the ratings of this year's finals will not be too low.

The Bulls were originally the favorites to win the championship. Judging from the Eastern Conference Finals' average viewership of 9 million per game, this year's finals still averaged more than 10 million viewers per game.

However, the Bulls played too smoothly in the Eastern Conference finals, and the Heat's Big Three were all swept by easy gentlemen, which also made the finals lack some excitement.

The Bulls appear to be too strong, while the Thunder in the Western Conference are just a young team lacking experience in the Finals.

Therefore, before the start of the finals, the focus of media discussion is not to analyze and predict the results of the finals.

Instead, we look back at the Bulls and Lakers' championship experiences over the years and analyze the pros and cons of forming a multi-giant super team.

The defeated Heat, Lakers, and Mavericks were all dragged into a fight by the media, while the Bulls and Thunder were lavishly praised.

"Wade lacks leadership over James, and the Miami Heat have lost control in his hands!"

"James does not have the real MVP ability. This is the real reason for the Miami Heat's defeat!"

"Durant may become the second Durant. Super strikers are the general trend of the league in the future!"

"Kobe is getting old, and the league's established stars will be gradually replaced by the league's new stars just like Kobe."

"How long can Duen's dominance continue? Now Duen is still young, but he will eventually be like Kobe.

Maybe Duane will be like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and slowly hand over his power.

We have seen that he is willing to help rookies. The Chicago Bulls can reach the finals this year, and the Bulls' rookies have contributed a lot. "

“This offseason is going to be exciting and there won’t be much time left for the veterans.

We can see that in recent years, talented newcomers have continued to emerge in the league.

We must admit that the future belongs to young people!

Whether it's the Chicago Bulls or other young teams, they will definitely succeed in the league! "

"No one is more dominant than Duane. Maybe we can start a new topic! Who is the better player, Duen or Michael?"

"Although this year is different from previous years, it is a shortened season, but I must say that this year's championship is also very meaningful. I think this will be a great start, and the Chicago Bulls will win everything!"

"Most of the core players of the Western Conference teams are veterans, and some championship teams will soon lack competitiveness.

I think it’s not the defense or opponents that will limit Durant in the future, it’s just a matter of time.

The Oklahoma City Thunder have many good players and I believe he will do better in the future. "

Under the spotlight, the annual NBA Finals is finally about to begin.

June 6, United Center away locker room.

Durant, who just put down his phone, feels like he can blow everything up now...
