With the Lakers defeating the Mavericks, all four teams in the 2015 NBA playoff conference finals were born.
On the Western side, the Lakers, the No. 1 team in the West, and the Warriors, the No. 2 team in the West, successfully met in the finals.
On the Eastern side, the Celtics, who are first in the Eastern Conference, and the Cavaliers, who are second in the Eastern Conference, also meet in the finals.
The four teams in the Eastern and Western conference finals are all the top two in each conference, which is not that common in NBA history.
In the NBA playoffs, there are actually some upsets every year.
This year, I actually killed the unpopular one.
For a while, many experts and fans didn't know whether to say that the four teams in the East and West this year were too strong, or that the Lakers were too tough.
Many people will disagree if these four teams are said to be too strong. The Lakers in this year's playoffs are definitely not strong in terms of hard power. In every series, they are playing hard but falling behind at odds. .
In the end, the Lakers, who were always on the verge of being eliminated from the playoffs, always managed to survive.
So much so, when the four final teams in the conference finals were announced, experts, celebrities, NBA players and coaches were all discussing the Lakers' path to the playoffs this season.
"Everyone knows that some people want to pin the Lakers to death, but the Lakers are not being pinned to death!"
"Even if Coach D gives up the team to fight against those people, he can still find the most reliable helmsman for the Lakers. This is Coach D, Greg, this is the greatest head coach in the NBA!"
In Cleveland, the Cavaliers players were already on the plane to Boston.
However, the Cavaliers players on the plane were not discussing their next opponent in the Eastern Conference Finals, the Celtics. They were discussing the Lakers in the Western Conference.
Kyrie Irving, Kyle Lowry, Kevin Martin, Joha, Tristan Thompson and others are all surrounding their boss Oden asking about the Lakers and Coach D.
This Cavaliers team is very young, they are energetic and have fighting spirit and pursuit.
Oden, the team's new boss and new king, has done an outstanding job in the team. He not only conquered the fans, but also conquered them.
Even Kyrie Irving, the Cavaliers' most difficult player, was conquered by Oden.
Don't look at Oden's many strange behaviors on the team.
For example, when eating, he even licks the plate clean.
This point is highly controversial within the Cavaliers.
After all, no matter how poor an NBA player is, he is still a millionaire. This habit is really shameful.
At the beginning of the season, a certain old Cavaliers player who had a good relationship with Irving complained about Oden in front of Irving. It was simply a shame for NBA players.
"The new king is nothing but a beggar!"
Is there anything wrong with saying this?
In fact, there is nothing wrong with it. At least, this Cavaliers player feels that there is nothing wrong with it.
However, after he finished speaking, he did not get the approval and approval of Irving, who was competing with Oden for the top spot. Instead, he was criticized overwhelmingly by Irving.
This directly confused the veteran player of the Cavaliers.
He never expected that Irving, who usually looked down on James, who was once the greatest player in the history of the Cavaliers, would stand with Oden, who was competing with him for the top spot!
Moreover, Irving actually defended Oden!
Oden's behavior is not embarrassing. In Owen's words, he is actually a true, sincere, and true warrior, not someone who is obviously very poor and pretends to be like a noble once he becomes powerful. This is hypocrisy. This is a pretense, and he, Ou, hates this kind of pretense the most.
"Even if you are now millionaires, multi-millionaires, or even billionaires, don't forget that you come from the bottom, and your roots will always be the bottom. Don't break away from your roots, and you will never be able to break away. , you think you have left the original world and come to the new world, but in fact, in the new world, you are just a group of clowns being entertained."
Farke!
Can you understand the psychological shadow of the old Cavaliers players who are trying to position themselves in the boss battle?
They just want to rely on a boss who seems more reliable. Why do they have to encounter such a thing?
They were so criticized by the directly attached boss that they couldn't even understand what Owen meant by these fairy-like words.
At the very least, most people don’t understand.
Are we multi-millionaires and billionaires, but you, Owen, are not?
We are not on the same side. Are you, Owen, and those people who are still mud-legged on the same side?
"Weirds, weirdos, damn weirdos!"
After Irving disdained their attachment and scolded them angrily, these people cursed these two weirdos Irving and Oden behind their backs.
There is nothing billionaire-like about a billionaire.
Even if it can't be like James.
At least don't praise Durant who drank bathwater and Oden who ate leftovers!
This fucking thing is not true, this fucking guy is just a jerk, and he will never be a gentleman!
Then, these old Cavaliers players who were so happy to scold them behind their backs were all traded the next day. The reason was, of course, that their instigation of dissension was reported.
The person who reported it was none other than Irving.
The whole Cavaliers' top brass are quite upset about this.
Never seen anything like this.
The ministers wanted to fight to the death, why did Your Majesty surrender first?
After a good meal, the Cavaliers' top brass became excited.
They felt that this was a sign that Irving had given up on his own initiative.
Facts have proved that no one understands Ou Shenxian's heart.
These Cavaliers executives don't understand.
Irving has not given up competing with Oden as the Cavaliers boss.
However, he did not meet Auden in battle.
Even, the relationship between Irving and Oden is very strange.
From time to time, some Cavaliers players will see Oden and Irving together after the game, and Oden will play a very strange song to Irving that looks very civilian, very poor, not gorgeous at all, but very contagious. music.
Someone curiously asked Owen what Auden played for him.
Owen would always be very excited, happy, appreciative, and said firmly.
"This is our best voice!"
groove!
Symphony, isn't it more elegant than this? Isn't it better than this?
This form of music looks very common at first glance, even as poor as a beggar!
In addition, some people have noticed that when the team is on vacation, Oden and Irving will take nothing with them on foot, taking a group of poor children from Cleveland to the mountains and wilderness to live an ascetic life. , eat whatever I see in the wild, practice basketball while practicing self-cultivation.
The basketball training camp that James held in Cleveland was not like this at all!
It should be said that a real basketball training camp is not like this at all!
How can anyone teach a child to practice dreamy footwork without starving himself and practicing with stones as a basketball?
The explanation given by Auden is.
"This is how I practiced. When I was extremely poor, basketball would become the only sustenance of my life. At that time, I seemed to be able to hear the sound of basketball and the call of basketball. I walked into the roots of basketball and forgot everything. troubles.
I hope that my students will like and love basketball from the bottom of their hearts. Basketball will bring us wealth. However, I hope that when you pick up basketball, it is not only for wealth, but also for love. "
Every time Auden said these words, it was like a fairy tale.
Irving would always admire Oden after he finished speaking, look at him warmly, and then firmly agree.
"Greg's right!"
Therefore, Irving and Oden's basketball training camps have become smaller and smaller, and only a few people understand them.
However, no matter how few people there are, these two people are always willing to use ascetic methods to find the true meaning of basketball every time they open a camp.
In the end, even in Cleveland, the Cleveland Honesty newspaper secretly complained about them.
"Our new king and our druids, they come from heaven and are not mortal."
The Cleveland Twins are well-known even in China.
The popularity is as high as that of the two little bees in Los Angeles.
Irving never gave up on the boss fight.
However, off the court, the relationship between Irving and Oden is extremely special.
On the court, Irving stood up and caused trouble from time to time, telling the world that he was still fighting for the Cavaliers.
However, he and Oden never had any conflicts because of such competition.
"In the history of the NBA, there has never been such a battle for the boss."
In the end, both the top management of the Cavaliers and the media in Cleveland gave up and let Irving do it. Anyway, as long as he doesn't cause trouble off the court, he can do whatever he wants on the court. Who let Oden do it? On the court, he was really selfless and really gave in to Irving!
The Cavaliers executives and the Cleveland media, who had always been accustomed to James using various methods to compete for team power and position, had a feeling of disbelief after seeing such a strange relationship between their two new leaders. They have really never seen the same style of painting.
Even Cavaliers head coach Tyronn Lue found it quite magical.
The biggest headache that made him leave the Clippers and come to the Cavaliers was Irving.
He has heard about this person, and coaches throughout the league have heard about it. It is really difficult to deal with.
Finally, in the Cavaliers, this entire season, you never even heard Irving doing anything.
In the game, he defends hard and attacks hard. Apart from being a little lonely, you don't think there is anything wrong with Irving at all.
The key is that this problem alone is actually not a problem for the Cavaliers.
Because the other two leaders of the Cavaliers, Lowry and Oden, are very selfless, a team actually needs a player like Irving who is independent and can play singles.
It would be too much for a team to have two such players, but one is really just right.
Therefore, the Cavaliers are really strong this season.
Especially when it comes to strong dialogue, it can be described as invincible.
For a period of time, the Cavaliers were beaten by all kinds of strong teams in the East and West.
Especially the Celtics.
The Celtics were psychologically traumatized by the Cavaliers. Finally, in the regular season, the Celtics sent James' three-goal outfit and barely beat the Cavaliers in one game.
The Cavaliers almost swept the Celtics in the regular season this season.
In the Cavaliers' playoffs this season, the first two rounds were all 4-0.
The Cavaliers look very championship-ready this season.
If it weren't for the 73-win Lakers who needed an MVP, if it weren't for Wade who deserved the MVP, and if it wasn't for James, with the blessing of his magic outfit, he finally led the Celtics to surpass the Cavaliers.
In fact, Oden is the real MVP this season.
It is precisely for this reason that the young people in the Cavaliers actually look down on the Celtics.
These players on the Cavaliers believe that the Celtics, that is, a whistle-blowing team, have no basis at all.
Underestimating the enemy is what young people in the Cavaliers are thinking now.
In this regard, Oden is also very helpless.
He knows that his teammates long for Coach D and the greatness of the Lakers back then, and they also hope to defeat the Three Gods.
However, the three-god outfit is never that easy.
However, after Auden finished speaking, TT laughed.
"Greg, you are too careful. Look, in the next two games between the Lakers and the Mavericks, is the magic still there? As long as we defeat the Celtics, I don't believe the league can risk everything for James!"
It is reasonable and cannot be refuted.
Oden thinks so too. He experienced the most terrifying three-man outfit between the Lakers and the Knicks last season.
As long as the Celtics are defeated, there is really no problem.
But, can it be defeated?
This regular season, the Cavaliers almost defeated the Celtics!
So, it is possible!
In the end, Oden accepted the setting of his teammates. As long as he defeated the Celtics, there would be nothing to worry about.
Although the divine equipment is terrifying, the most important thing is strength!
The great Coach D thinks he is strong enough, so he is not afraid of the magic weapon at all. God, don't even think about defeating Coach D.
This is the confidence brought by absolute strength!
Facing the conference finals.
James feels that he is fifty times more powerful now than before, and he is the only king in Cleveland.
The Cavaliers and Oden want to defeat the Celtics.
It can be said that both sides are confident.
In the Western Conference Finals between the Warriors and Lakers, the style was completely different.
exactly.
The Warriors' style is still very confident.
After coming to the Lakers, the Warriors players did not accept interviews except for UAE, a former Lakers player who kept a low profile and had been meeting his Hollywood actress friends privately.
In addition, Curry, Clay, Green, and even Brother Yi and Love, two honest guys, are all very high-profile.
Each and every one of them looked impatient, making Lakers fans feel comfortable and grit their teeth with fear.
Lakers fans are really worried now!
Not only Lakers fans, Lakers players, and several Lakers assistant coaches are also trembling now.
"Coach, are you really not going to interfere? Even if you don't take over the team, you can still make suggestions for Bobo!"
In Du Kang's head coach's office, Du Kang looked at the picture on the big screen. Bobo's hair loss has become more serious recently.
The Lakers play the Warriors, and the Warriors still have the magic equipment. How to win?
It's you, what would you do?
Even Bobo has been losing hair like crazy recently.
"Steve, is Bobo bald?"
"..."
Nash was speechless.
And right now.
Du Kang had a smile on his face.
"Actually, Bobo, there should be a solution."
What? ! ! !
! ! ! ! !
Nash was dumbfounded. Popovich had a solution, why didn't he know? ! !
Why can't he see it? !
"It's simple, Steve, you don't understand Bobo's heart."
"!!!"
Nash was even more stunned!
Coach, what you say is very scary! ! !
