Since the players are so upbeat, the media will naturally work harder.
From a regular season perspective, the Trail Blazers have the advantage.
Comparing the lineup, the Heat's stars are stronger.
The starting combination led by Wang Zelin + Aldridge + Lillard is very strong. After all, this is a combination of double first team + double third team this year.
Yes, you read that right. In addition to Wang Zelin being selected for the All-NBA Team, Aldridge and Lillard were also selected for the All-NBA Team. However, they were both selected for the All-NBA Third Team.
Maybe some people are not surprised that Aldridge was selected to the best team, because he has this ability.
Is it reasonable that Lillard, who is only in his second year, was selected to the All-NBA team at such a young age?
Someone said: In this Ganges River!
One thing to say, Wang Zelin has always felt that Lillard has always been underestimated by the outside world since his rookie season, until he fettered Curry, beard players, and triple-doubles with masters, and won the best team for the first time in his career. A type of player.
In fact, even without the arrival of Wang Zelin, the Blazers in the original time and space, after selecting Lillard, now returned to the playoffs next season.
Because Lillard's performance is indeed impressive enough.
It has always been said that Lillard's performance during his rookie contract period was outstanding, even among the rookies at the same time in history.
The rookie was selected to the All-Stars in his second year. Even though he was only a substitute, he did not use the All-NBA third team at the end of the season...
To be honest, such a rookie year performance is actually rare in the history of the NBA. I am afraid that it is only inferior to historical rookies such as the Devil, God, King, Buddha, and Shark.
It is such a talented rookie whose square eyes can be ranked in the second tier of history. He has not been welcomed for a long period of his career. What a shame.
Maybe it has something to do with Lillard being in the "torn city" of Portland.
After all, the feng shui of this city is notoriously bad. Lillard can survive in such an environment without getting injured all year round and maintain the league's first-class attendance rate. His life is very tough.
In addition to the starting lineup, in terms of role players, Connett Lee is good at both offense and defense on the outside, Mo Williams is the best sixth man on the back line, and Beverley is on the best defensive team level. The shield can ensure that the Trail Blazers coaching staff can make timely adjustments based on different on-court situations.
Inside, there are former superstar Garnett and today's locker room leader, blue-collar youngster Adams, Yi Jianlian, who is not good at defensive shooting and can shoot well, and others.
By the way, there’s also the new villain Artest...
It can be said that the Blazers are very strong, and it is not unreasonable for them to perform so well this year.
But despite this, many people are still optimistic about the Heat. Perhaps in the eyes of some people, the so-called championship experience is worth more than the sky.

June 5th is the day the 2013~2014 NBA Finals begins.
Since the Trail Blazers have the higher winning rate in the regular season, the first game of the Finals will be held at the Rose Garden Arena.
Three hours before the start of the game, Wang Zelin and his teammates were tested by chief team doctor Leder Diaz. The doctor said that Wang Zelin's muscle tension had been greatly relieved.
To put it bluntly, he is now in an excellent physical condition!
The preparations for the past few days were not in vain.
After receiving the examination, Wang Zelin jumped on the spot a few times. To be honest, he himself could feel the lightness of his body. It's not an exaggeration to say that there is any real leap from the past, but he does feel that the whole person is in a very, very good state now.
Who knows, what surprises will there be tonight?
"Damien, we have finally reached the finals. Are you ready for a big fight tonight?" Wang Zelin has been gearing up for a long time and is eager to have a big fight.
Let's play, let's make trouble, this is the finals!
Do you think Wang Zelin can not be excited or anxious?
"Release your energy today!" Lillard smiled from Wang Zelin. From the first round of the Western Conference to the present, no matter facing such an inside opponent, Wang Zelin has always had the last laugh.
What's more, their opponent in the finals is the Heat, whose inside strength is relatively average.
Lillard always feels that the Heat may not be as strong as their Western Conference Finals opponents, the Spurs.
If Wang Zelin knew his inner thoughts at this moment, he would definitely reply: Don't doubt yourself, and remove the words "maybe".
History has proven that the Heat cannot beat the Spurs.
Therefore, Wang Zelin dared to make bold claims to the outside world that the Trail Blazers' winning rate against the Heat is 100%!
Therefore, facing such an opponent, Wang Zelin looks like a hungry beast to Lillard. As for how much damage and damage the former will cause to the Heat's inside tonight, he doesn't know.
Anyway, it will definitely be fun.
…
Before the game, the starting lineups of both sides were announced.
Visiting team Heat: Mario Chalmers, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Rashard Lewis, Chris Bosh.
Home team Trail Blazers: Lillard, Matthews, Batum, Aldridge, Wang Zelin.
TNT.
"Oh my God, this lineup is so young!"
After receiving the list, Kenny Smith was so shocked that he couldn’t even open his mouth.
"Okay, I admit, I'm jealous! Wang got a taste of the Finals at such a young age. What was I doing when I was 21 years old... Oh, it seems I have just entered the NBA!"
Buckley curled his lips in displeasure.
"Hey man, we have to admit that some people are born to be kings. They can always walk through a road in a short period of time that ordinary people can't walk in a lifetime, just like Michael..."
"Ahem, it's still early. Let's go to the Trail Blazers to interview Wang and his teammates."
Kenny Smith was abruptly interrupted by Buckley before he could finish his words.
Obviously, Barkley didn't want to hear someone's name from Kenny Smith. If it weren't for someone, the great Sir Barkley, how could he not have a championship in his career!
The uncrowned king?
It sounds nice, but only the person involved understands the sadness and pain involved.
It just so happens that there are many media outlets who think the same way as Barkley.
A bunch of reporters poured into the home team's locker room.
"Wang, are you really so confident in killing the Heat?"
Buckley shouted as soon as he came up, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
"Someone is going to win anyway, why can't it be me?"
Wang Zelin asked rhetorically.
Before Barkley could answer, Wang Zelin shrugged and asked again:
"Besides, is the so-called championship experience really that important?"
All of a sudden, everyone was really stunned.
Because in the young man in front of them, they saw the vitality and the courage to refute doubts.
Ask yourself, is championship experience really that important?
