The Mavericks eliminated the Warriors 4-1 with a score that was as surprising as James' 4-0 elimination of the Hawks.

The Atlanta Hawks, under the leadership of Popovich's disciple Budenholzer this season, they have been nicknamed the "Eastern Spurs". Budenholzer is a coach who advocates the concept of team basketball. Under his leadership, six players on the Hawks team averaged double figures, but no one exceeded 17 points. Throughout the season, the team's highest score in a single game was only Millsap's 30 points. The nickname "Eastern Spurs" couldn't be more appropriate.

Under Budenholzer's guidance, Horford, Millsap, Teague and Korver were selected to the All-Star team, becoming the seventh time in history that four players from the same team were selected to the All-Star team. They also miraculously created an unbeaten record of 17 wins and 0 losses in January 2015. Therefore, the five starting players on the team were simultaneously elected as the Eastern Conference Player of the Month. This was also the first time that five players in the NBA were elected as the Player of the Month at the same time. , fully reflects the Eagles' strong team basketball strength.

The Atlanta Hawks eventually achieved 60 wins - the third-worst record in the league.

But just such a team that blocked and killed the gods in the regular season was swept by the Cavaliers 4-0. You know, Kevin Love was retired for the season in the first round of the playoffs, and Irving also missed two games due to injury during the Eastern Conference Finals.

Even though J.R. Smith played well and averaged 18 points per game in the Eastern Conference finals, which was a slap in the face to the New York Knicks who benched him, even though Shumpert averaged 2.3 three-pointers per game during the Eastern Conference finals, and Showed well on defense. But the fact is that the biggest reason why the Hawks lost is because they don't have a super player like LeBron James!

He averaged 1.0 rebounds and 9.3 assists per game, a near-triple-double, and almost single-handedly defeated the Hawks' front line. In Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals, when he was not feeling well and playing with injuries, he scored 37 points, 18 rebounds, 13 assists and 3 steals in 48 minutes, a huge triple-double, including 8 offensive rebounds, leading the way. The team defeated its opponent in overtime. LeBron James, this guy's performance in the Eastern Conference Finals can be called a miracle from heaven!

Facing a tough battle, LeBron James led the Cavaliers to become more and more courageous. The Atlanta Hawks, however, began to disintegrate from within.

In the end, the incredible LeBron led the broken Cavaliers to an incredible victory over the 60-win Hawks in the Eastern Conference Finals. It's a pity that the Western Conference Finals between the Mavericks and the Warriors attracted so much attention, therefore, James' miracle was ignored by many fans.

So much so that after the Mavericks defeated the Warriors 4-1, people clamored that the league could award the O'Brien Trophy to Yiyang. But in fact, the perseverance of the Cleveland Cavaliers is not as simple as people think.

On this point, Yiyang came to a unanimous conclusion after watching the Cavaliers' game video.

In the video analysis room of the American Airlines Center Arena, a projector projected a huge picture on the curtain in a dark room.

In the picture, LeBron James broke through through the screen of Tristan Thompson. Korver stayed close to James, and at the same time, Horford covered up to the basket. However, against the defense of the two Eagles, James was stunned and forced the ball into the basket!

"Holy shit!" the Mavericks players couldn't help shouting, this can also score a goal! ?

In subsequent game videos, such scenes appeared frequently. James drove straight to the basket, and then scored under the interference of two or three people. This rough style of play is really different from that of the Warriors.

The Warriors' games usually involve endless screens and off-ball movement. After the dazzling run, pass through it, and you see the Warriors scoring.

The Cavaliers' games don't have these bells and whistles.

Their tactics are not that complicated, it's just James holding the ball and attacking! If you can't pass, hit the ball. If you can't, just distribute the ball to the outside and shoot three-pointers for your teammates. Anyway, defending James will definitely not be a one-on-one defense, and you will definitely not be able to defend one-on-one. As long as James passes the ball, his teammates will basically be open. It depends on whether others can get in from beyond the three-point line.

After Irving returned, there were fewer scenes like this, but overall it can be summarized as two Cavaliers taking turns to attack.

If Steve Kerr uses tactics and team power to maximize the characteristics of Curry and Thompson, then Cavaliers coach David Blatt uses the personal power of superstars to maximize cover tactics. weak on.

After watching the carefully edited videos of several games, Yiyang not only did not feel that the Cavaliers were easy to deal with, but actually felt that they might be more difficult to deal with than the Warriors.

Although Stephen Curry is indeed powerful, he cannot be regarded as a "leader". Maybe he will become the leader of the Warriors in the future, but he can't do that yet. At least when the Warriors are in trouble, Curry will not inspire his teammates, and he himself will not be able to stand up in time.

The Cavaliers are terrifying because they have a leader-level figure like LeBron James. As long as No. 23 is still on the court, the Cavaliers will always be full of energy!

Wade looked at James' figure on the screen with extremely complicated eyes. Both he and James left the Heat last summer. Wade is because of Riley's ruthlessness, while James is more because of his disappointment in Wade's state in last season's finals.

In last season's finals, Wade suffered a serious knee injury, and he could only play one-third of his current strength. The Heat struggled to move forward under the leadership of James, but were eventually swept by the Mavericks.

In the two games in the Eastern Conference finals this season when Irving had not returned, Wade seemed to see James playing alone again. It's just that this guy is stronger and more difficult to defeat than before.

He never thought that he would meet James in the Finals so soon. Both of them are playing in the Finals for the fifth consecutive year. But this time, they were on opposite sides of each other.

What was it like playing against LeBron in the Finals? Looking at the projection in front of him, Wade was a little distracted...

"Dwayne, what's wrong?" Yiyang, who was sitting next to Wade, noticed that the big-cheeked guy was trembling slightly, so he asked with concern.

Wade turned his head and smiled. "I'm excited, yes, I'm excited!"

Fight against the team led by James' new team? It seems like it would be very interesting.

※※※

Far away in Cleveland, the Cavaliers are also preparing for a game against the Mavericks. It's just that they have finished analyzing the video, and now the whole team is practicing together on the basketball court.

What gives David Blatt a headache is that the Mavericks have two defensive heroes in Iguodala and Tony Allen. These two guys can be said to be the two best defenders of James in the league. Although James cannot be completely restricted, his offensive power will definitely be somewhat compromised.

And Kelly Irving had to accept the test of Yiyang. In the Western Conference finals, even Stephen Curry "died tragically" by Yiyang's men. Therefore, it is completely unknown how much strength Irving can exert.

During the regular season of this season, although Irving and Yiyang co-produced the "Uncle Drew" commercial, the two got along very well. But he knew that on the basketball court, Yiyang would not be friendly with anyone.

"Also on the basketball court, he is a pervert who is even willing to block his own wife!"

Yiyang's joke about Vignelli at the All-Star Fans Jialianhua event is often teased by fans, but this joke just illustrates Yiyang's almost perverted desire to win on the basketball court.

As long as you are not wearing a Mavericks jersey, no matter how good the relationship is, Yiyang will do his best to kill you. After so many years in the league, have you ever seen Yiyang give Hayward a good life? Stevens, his mentor, would also have a headache when he mentioned Yiyang on the court.

The extent to which Irving can perform when facing Yiyang is also an important factor affecting the Cavaliers.

While distracted, Irving's three-point shot missed the frame on the training ground. But the next second, LeBron James stepped up and dunked on Tristan Thompson and Russian center Mozgov!

"You guys aren't tough enough in the paint! How can you let me grab an offensive rebound so easily!?" After the dunk landed, James taught the two insiders how to forcefully block the position while yelling at them.

Then, he turned to look at Owen. "Kelly, I know what you're worried about. Forget those damn things, we should just be thinking about how to win the championship now! Okay, everyone, keep going!"

LeBron James is different from Yiyang who only relies on actions to speak. He is a leader who likes to yell in the arena. But James's yelling does not make people tired, but will greatly enhance the enthusiasm and morale of his teammates.

Looking at the 31-year-old "old man" whose jersey was soaked with sweat but still jumping up and down on the basketball court, Irving felt a lot more confident for some reason.

Yes, the Dallas Mavericks have incredible Yiyang. But the Cleveland Cavaliers also have a super leader who can defeat any opponent!

Is it possible to award the O'Brien Cup to Yi? What a joke! The Cleveland Cavaliers are not soft persimmons!

Irving and Yiyang, James and Wade, the Mavericks and the Cavaliers... Maybe this round of finals that "seems" has no suspense is not as simple as people think.
