Chapter 1022 They Are All Small Market Teams
The Warriors lost the game in such a way that everyone was surprised.Thunder players don't want to see such a scene. We are all NBA players, and the last thing we want to see is injuries.
Everyone is praying for Du Xiaoshuai and Buddha, hoping that their injuries will not be too serious and that they will recover soon.
The injuries of Du Xiaoshuai and Buddha made everyone's attention no longer on the series. There is no suspense in the series, and this fool knows it.What everyone cares about is how badly the two of them were hurt.
An MRI the next day showed that Durant had a ruptured Achilles tendon and Buddha had a torn cruciate ligament.This can basically conclude that the two will not play this season.Let alone this season, both of them will be absent next season with a high probability.
This is really bad news for the Warriors.
There is no suspense in G4 of the Western Conference finals. The Thunder will not show mercy, and the Warriors don't need their opponents to be pitiful.This is competitive sport, there is no mercy, only winners.
In the end, the Thunder eliminated the Warriors with a big score of 4:0 and entered the finals for the third consecutive season.Their opponent in the finals will be the winner between the Bucks and Raptors.
The Raptors and Bucks are now tied 2:2, and everyone has a chance to enter the finals.However, the outside world's views on the finals are surprisingly consistent, that is, as long as the Thunder does not suffer serious injuries to core players like the Warriors, then whoever enters the finals of the two teams will be studying with the prince, and there will be no chance.
Of course, none of these two teams dare to think about what will happen in the series against the Thunder. How to defeat the opponent in front of them is what they are most concerned about.
On May 5, the NBA officially announced the best defensive team of the season.
The five players selected for the first defense are Xie Kai, Smart, Pickled Pepper, Antetokounmpo and Gobert.
This is the sixth time Xie Kai has been selected to the All-Defensive Team, and this is his fifth first defense.Although he has never won the best defensive player, there is no suspense that he is the league's top perimeter defender.
Xie Kai's defense can be retracted or released. He can not only stalk the defense, but also use consciousness and judgment to position himself.His help defense is also very good, and his awareness of drawing fouls and filling positions is first-rate.
If there is something that keeps him from getting a DOPY, it may be his skin color and position (guards are hard to get).
The next day, the NBA officially announced the best team of the season.
Xie Kai, Harden, Pickled Pepper, Antetokounmpo and Teacher Yue were selected for the first round.
This is Xie Kai's seventh first team in his NBA career, and he is currently second only to James in active service, ranking second.
Paojiao and Xie Kai were selected for a team, while Westbrook performed a little poorly this season and was finally selected for the third team.
Paojiao ushered in the peak of his career this season. He was selected for the first team and became a top superstar.
Everyone is celebrating Xie Kai's selection to the first team, but for him, winning the championship and establishing his second dynasty is the most important thing.
On the Eastern side, the Raptors came from behind, and with a big score of 0:2 behind, they pulled 4 games in a row, and finally defeated the Bucks with a total score of 4:2 and entered the finals.
In the finals of the best years, teams from small markets participated, which made NBA President Xiao Hua very satisfied. Who said that there is no way out for small markets. Look at the Thunder, they are about to establish a dynasty!
Although the Raptors made it to the finals for the first time in team history, few people believed that they could defeat the thundering Thunder and win the championship.
You must know that the Thunder's journey in the Western Conference playoffs, they did not lose a game, and came in cleanly with three 3:4s. This record is too strong, and it really makes people feel suffocated.
But the Raptors don't have any pressure. I'm just a dog. It's normal to lose, and I make money when I win. My mentality is much better.
The finals are about to begin, and there are K honeys everywhere on the streets of Oklahoma City. Their number is too large. Now that it is the critical moment of establishing a dynasty, everyone is even more excited and looking forward to seeing this moment come.
On May 5, G30 of the Finals, the Thunder played at the Ford Center Arena.
The Thunder ranked first in the league in the regular season, so they have home court advantage in all playoff series.
"Ka Jordan" Kawhi Facial Paralysis contributed a lot to the Raptors' rise this season and their ability to pass five hurdles and defeat six players in the playoffs.
Although Facial Paralysis doesn't look like a celebrity, he really has strength.He didn't play last season after he was seriously injured by scumbags.The whole NBA knew about the falling out between him and his mentor Bobo, the old thief.In the end, he was packaged with Huang Ama and was traded to the Raptors in exchange for DeRozan, one of the trash brothers, as well as center Bortle and the first-round pick.
There is only one year left on the facial paralysis contract, and he probably won't stay in Toronto, so the Raptors also have a high probability of only getting him the right to use it for one year.But for them, instead of accompanying the prince to study in the playoffs, taking a gamble is not a bad idea.The configuration of the garbage brothers is really good in the regular season, but it has failed too many times in the playoffs.
The absolute strength of facial paralysis must be higher than that of DeRozan. His defense as a striker alone is not comparable to Azan.Azan still has a big problem on the offensive end that he doesn't have a 3-pointer, which is really terrible in today's league.
The Raptors teammate system has stars, so they can allow facial paralysis to "load management" this season.This load management is really effective. In the playoffs, he was fully fired, and finally helped the team reach the finals for the first time in history.
The Raptors' lineup is very reasonable, with a big center inside, a space inside, a small guard with the ball outside, and a 3D shooter.These people have one thing in common, that is, they are not high picks, none of them are in the top 10, which is also weird.
The Raptors have Xie Kai's old teammate Bai Xiong and his old friend Jeremy Lin, and Westbrook's old friend 18 cards.During practice, everyone had a little reminiscence.
The match was broadcast live on Tencent, with Wang Meng and Yang Yi responsible for the commentary.
"Mr. Yang, let's talk about this game. Do you think the Raptors can threaten the Thunder?" Wang Meng asked.
Yang Yi smiled and said, "Do you want me to tell the truth?"
Wang Meng nodded: "Of course, do you want to lie?"
Yang Yi said truthfully: "I think the Raptors series is very difficult to win. Their goal is to win 1-2 games."
Wang Meng said with a smile: "Everyone is optimistic about Lei Ting. Could it be that 'the heat must die'?"
Yang Yi waved his hand and said: "As long as there are no injuries like the Warriors, the possibility of this is very small."
Both starting lineups will be announced soon.The Thunder are still the Big Three + Patterson + Duck.
The Raptors' starters are White Bear, Siakam, Facial Paralysis, Huang Ama and Xiaogangpao.Their starting lineup is also very stable, and it hasn't changed since the playoffs.
