Chapter 442 Coming for the Championship
In April, the NCAA March Madness ended, and fans began to focus back on NBA games.

The regular season is coming to an end, and the playoffs are coming. 16 teams from the east and the west will embark on the road to compete for the highest honor of the annual championship.

People have begun to predict which team may win the championship in the end. The popular teams in people's eyes are: Lakers, Celtics, Cavaliers, Hornets and Rockets.

The Lakers have been regarded as the biggest favorites to win the championship since the beginning of the season. They lost to the Celtics in the finals last season, and they are only one step away from the championship.Bynum returned this season, with a well-organized lineup and a balanced mix of positions. After another season of running-in, the team's strength is unprecedentedly strong.The leader of the team, Kobe, has a paranoid and maddening desire to win. He led the team to make a comeback, and he was determined to win the championship.Such a Lakers team, even if they meet the Celtics again in the playoffs, they are very likely to beat each other.

The second most popular team, of course, is last season's championship Celtics.The defending champion has almost retained the complete lineup to win the championship. The strength of the Big Three is hard to ignore. Even though the players are one year older, the rapid growth of Rondo and other young players has enabled the Celtics to remain strong. Strength.No one dares to underestimate the heart of a champion.

In addition to these two tyrants, the Hornets led by queen bee Chris Paul and the Cavaliers led by James Jr. are also favorites to win the championship.

The four-man group of the Hornets, the league's assists and steals king Paul, the top three-point shooter Peja, the rebounder Chandler, and the all-around power forward West, the strength cannot be ignored.

As for the Cavaliers, with the little emperor James, what more bicycles are needed, he alone is enough, this is how the fans see it.

In addition, in the eyes of Chinese fans, the Rockets are also a favorite to win the championship, because they got Artest, strengthened the outside offense, and strengthened the defense.The team also renewed Landry, Scola and Brooks are growing steadily.Chinese fans feel that the Rockets should have achieved something after being in charge of Yao Ming for so many years.

Although the Suns' regular season record ranks ahead of the Hornets and Rockets, not many people still regard them as strong contenders for the championship.

The running and gun team can't win the championship, and the jump shooting team can't win the championship. These two ideas are deeply ingrained in people's minds.Even after Cole coached the Suns this season, they did not tear off the two labels of "running and bombing" and "shooting".

The anticlimactic performance of the Suns in recent seasons also makes people have no great hope for how far they can go in the playoffs. Playoff strong team.The regular season is good, the record is good, and people like to watch it, but winning the championship is still far away, and the playoffs are not their stage.They don't have the tenacious genes of the playoffs, nor do they have the defensive strength that matches the playoffs. They will lose in the playoffs, that's a matter of course, and people don't think it's surprising.Perhaps people have forgotten the scene where Nash's nose was interrupted in the playoffs last season, and the blood spilled on the field to continue the game. The Suns actually have a toughness that is not easy to be noticed.

In addition, many fans also think that Qian Duoduo, the core player of the Suns, is just a first-year rookie and has only played one season in the regular season, let alone the playoffs. Qian Duoduo has no playoff experience.The playoffs are different from the regular season. In the playoffs, the defensive intensity is not comparable to the regular season.How far can a team with rookie players go in the playoffs?Anyway, people don't have much confidence.They feel that Qian Duoduo, who had an amazing performance in the regular season, may not necessarily have such an output in the playoffs. Brother played very hard and will not be able to play enough to lead the team to victory in the end.

Moreover, the Suns are in the West where strong teams gather, and any team ranked in the top eight in the West is not easy to beat. It is hard to say whether the Suns can pass the first round and enter the second round.

Therefore, even if Qian Duoduo is currently ranked fourth in the MVP rankings, it will not change the views of many people who are not optimistic about the Suns' playoff prospects.

The regular season MVP is the regular season MVP. Nash even won the regular season MVP back then, and Nowitzki also won the regular season MVP.

It's one thing not to be liked by others, but another thing to think about yourself.

Qian Duoduo knew that if the playoffs were still staged according to the script of the previous life, the two teams in the finals would be the Magic and the Lakers. The Lakers would defeat the Magic and win the championship this season.

When he was watching football in his previous life, he was also very happy to see Kobe lead the team to win the championship after O'Neal left the team.

But now that he has participated in this process, he doesn't want to be happy for others, he wants to be happy for himself, and he is really happy when he is happy for himself.

The Lakers are rich and mighty, but do princes and generals care about each other?Why can't the Suns win the championship?
So he has always emphasized this point with his teammates, they are going for the championship, and the championship is the ultimate goal they have worked hard for the whole season.

What is the first-level goal, the second-level goal, the primary goal, the middle-level goal, the advanced goal, no, the only goal for a team to anchor the championship is the real goal.

Only the team that wins the championship in a season is successful, and the others are failures. The winners and losers, sports competition is so cruel, there is no middle way.

They are not weaker than any other team, and it is useless for anyone to underestimate them. In the end, you have to fight to know whether it is a mule or a horse that comes out for a walk and competes.

When Qian Duoduo first entered the league and was just a substitute player, his main goal at that time was to gain a firm foothold in the league and become a starter, and he also worked hard for this.

When he was identified by Cole as the core of the team, his goal changed. The championship is his goal, and everything else is incidental, such as the Rookie of the Month Award, the Player of the Week, and the All-Star Game MVP Trophies, best rookie awards, etc., these are the honors that come with chasing the championship, and he can pick them up along the way.

He came to the NBA with a lot of money to win the championship.

otherwise?Then it's better to quit the alliance, go back and lie down and count the money, and just travel around the world, eating and drinking to finish the rest of the life that you have traveled through.
