Chapter 324 Climb to the top again, the beginning of the dynasty
The Warriors clinched the Western Conference title with just one loss.
The negative impact of the absence of substitute Titan Richardson seems to only cost them a game.
But the rookie Heat in the East didn't enjoy it so well.
The Warriors are resting and rusty waiting for their Finals opponent.
Unexpectedly, the Heat, who swept all the way, met their opponents.
That was last season's Eastern Conference champion Pistons.
I didn't expect the Pistons to stumble again in the second place in the Eastern Conference this season...
However, their stumbling finally won the Eastern Conference championship again.
That's right.
They fought fiercely with the Heat for 7 games and finally won the ticket to enter the championship at the Heat's home court at 88:82 in the tie-break.
This is actually somewhat similar to the script of last season.
Coach Larry Brown vowed to make a comeback in this year's Finals.
For all Pistons fans, Detroiters define this year's trip to the Finals as "the road to revenge."
Shaquille O'Neal, who was eliminated, obviously refused to admit defeat.
After the series ended, his eyes were extremely fierce, and he felt like he would eat everyone up these two days.
He took part in a TNT show, talking about playing against the Pistons.
"These guys on the Pistons are softies. You see me wrecking water in the paint. They can't do anything about it. They won't have any chance next year when we run in."
"What? Revenge in the finals this time? Hehe! They are talking nonsense. They will be completely defeated by Zhang You. The only one who can fight against Zhang You is me. If even me and WD's team can't kill the Warriors next year, That league will enter a new era."
"That is the era of superstar teams, that's right. If I can't beat the Warriors anymore, then the league will enter the era of giants. The league's teams may have to form a model of Big Three or Big Four to win Zhang You's leadership. team!"
After being eliminated by the Pistons, O'Neal described Zhang You's strength in an exaggerated way.
He even predicted the future of the league.
If his team can't match Zhang You's team next season, the league will enter the era of giants!
Otherwise, Zhang You will monopolize the NBA championship, and the MVP and FMVP will naturally be soft.
In the Eastern Conference finals, O'Neal also showed the performance of dominating the inside in front of two Wallaces.
Wade's performance is also remarkable.
But the overall strength of the team is still weaker than the Pistons, and the Pistons have maintained a stable lineup for more than two seasons.
This made the newly emerging Heat really feel some difficulties. They have shown good strength in seven fierce battles.
O'Neal's prediction is that the Warriors beat the Pistons 4-0.
After all, the Pistons were the Warriors' underdog last season.
Will Larry Brown's revenge become empty talk?
Before the finals are about to start, Rasheed Wallace is now trembling with excitement for the second consecutive year.
"Impossible! That's absolutely impossible! People may not like the way we play, but this is the key to our success!"
"Whether Zhang You scores 80 points or 100 points. That's not going to work here at all. Last year we almost took them down. This year they lost Jason. Our defense is not like the Suns Like a bitch!"
Rasheed Wallace's statement also offended the Suns.
This made the Anti-Vonglian League less united.
First, O'Neal taunted the Pistons, and then a whole bunch of teams followed.
This includes the Suns, as well as the Mavericks and Kings who were brutally beaten by the Suns in the playoffs...
Stoudemire fully agreed with O'Neill's remarks.
"Rashid Wallace don't forget that he was ran from Portland to Detroit by Zhang You. Did he have a defense? Did he forget what Zhang You did on his head? Shaq said it well, 4-0, Shaq didn't shoot and they were all beaten like that, they couldn't defend inside if they met Zhang You, and they would also be shot through by Zhang You outside!"
Cuban, the owner of the Mavericks, said disdainfully: "The defense of the Pistons is blown out. They are not as good as the defense of the Suns. If Nash hadn't gone from me to the Suns, we would be the team that can compete with the Warriors." .”
Will the Warriors without Jason Richardson struggle against the Pistons?
Sometimes, the eyes of the masses are discerning.
The trip to the finals, known as the "Road to Revenge", did not expect to be so easy for the Warriors.
Despite the lack of Jason Richardson, the combination of Zhang You + Carter plus the offensive power of some role players can deal with this Pistons with ease.
Because the rhythm of playing against the Pistons is too slow.
The Warriors' second straight year against the Pistons is already fully experienced.
Zhang You didn't even turn on the ZONE mode, and they completely restrained the Pistons in terms of play.
The two Wallaces suffered a critical blow from O'Neal in the interior in the last round, and this round continues to receive the baptism of super interiors.
Big Ben's height is too difficult, and he has even shown signs of degeneration.
This allowed Zhang You to get whatever he wanted inside, and at the same time Zhang's pass helped the 3D shooters to launch wildly.
Carter's state has rebounded after he got his daughter. Against the tough defensive Pistons, his scoring average increased to 24 points per game.
With Carter's steady performance, Zhang You played 45+18+10+5 in this round of the series.
In the fourth game that made the Pistons desperate, Zhang You once again dominated the Pistons with a terrifying performance.
Zhang You completed his second season with a quadruple-double of 50 points, 17 rebounds, 10 assists and 10 blocks.
There is no doubt that this season won the MVP+FMVP again.
In the second season of his career, Zhang You has done things that many superstar seniors could not do in their entire careers.
In this season's playoffs, the Warriors won the championship after only losing one game.
The 73-win Warriors looked more dominant than the 72-win Bulls.
When the Warriors won the championship trophy for the second consecutive year at the Pistons' home court, and Zhang You won the FMVP trophy here for the second consecutive year, the expressions of the Pistons fans were dull and numb.
Coach Larry Brown and the Pistons have completely collapsed.
Billups looked up to the sky and sighed.
"Without Zhang You, I might have won the FMVP and the championship ring last year. I don't want to meet Zhang in the finals again!"
Unfortunately, time cannot be turned back.
The league structure is slowly changing.
Now, everyone has to wait for Zhang You's rookie contract to end next summer.
There is no doubt that many teams have begun to clear cap space this offseason.
Teams with high picks began this offseason with an eye toward picking the right players to help them break through.
It is worth mentioning that this season, the teams that are confident to compete with the Warriors for Zhang You next year have already set their sights on the guard in the draft.
As we all know, Zhang You has not matched an excellent No. 1 position in his career.
If a future All-Star is placed in the No. 1 position, then it seems easier to win the championship under the leadership of Zhang You.
In the draft, the Bucks, adhering to the fact that the insider wins the world, won the No. [-] pick without hesitation and chose the Australian No. [-] pick Andrew Bogut!
After Jordan lost Deron and Chris Paul, his favorite person was finally not selected by the previous draft team.
This made Jordan breathe a sigh of relief, and he looked even more excited.
"Our choice is Raymond Felton! With this guy, as long as I rely on my relationship with Zhang You to bring him over next season, think about it, we have Okafor and Zhang You inside. Twin Towers! There will be my Felton on the outside! With Gerald Wallace and those guys, our Bobcats team will become the Cosmic Cats!!"
The future is bright, my cat! !
