Super Role Player

The two teams in the finals have emerged. The defending champion 76ers faced this season's number one dark horse Golden State Warriors. It does not seem like a close matchup.

Especially when the 76ers continuously swept their playoff opponents, the Warriors were even more underestimated.

Compared with the 76ers who are unstoppable in the East, although the Warriors are going very smoothly in the West, they have been cornered by the Grizzlies and defeated by the Rockets. In terms of state, the Warriors are obviously not as good as the 76ers.

Some people also made a comparison between the 76ers and the Rockets. The 76ers and the Rockets are very similar. Both teams are teams with shooting guards as the core. There is another All-Star big man in the team. At the third position, both teams There is also an outstanding 3D player at the third position, Jae Crowder and Trevor Ariza. As for the substitutes, the 76ers have Lou Williams, and the Rockets also have hairband brothers.

All in all, the two teams are very similar.

But if we really want to compare, the 76ers are still better.

The most obvious point is Anxi. Throughout the three rounds of the Eastern Conference playoffs, Anxi can be said to be a God-killing God and a Buddha-killing Buddha. No one can really stop him.

James Harden was different. The Rockets were trailing the Clippers by a large margin in the Western Conference semifinals. James Harden's state was criticized. In the final decisive battle, Rockets coach Kevin McHale even benched James Harden. In the end, he relied on The lineup without Harden completed the comeback.

It was the same situation in the Western Conference Finals. James Harden was in poor condition and was completely suppressed. He only had one outburst and the Rockets only won one game.

Obviously, Anxi will not be completely suppressed. In the East, whether it is Jimmy Butler's defense, Avery Bradley's defense, or even LeBron James's defense, Anxi will always be able to win. There was no misfire, crazy scoring game after game. In every game, Anxi was the 76ers' best player.

The defense he has to face in the finals is no better than the opponents in the Eastern Conference. The Warriors have Klay Thompson, Harrison Barnes and Andre Iguodala, but Anxi has come from the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs and also has E. Guard him with masters of single defense and help defense such as Free Bradley, Marcus Smart, Jimmy Butler and LeBron James.

None of these defenses could stop him, and the Warriors' defense obviously posed no threat to Anxi.

As long as Anxi can still exert its strength, the 76ers will have a chance to suppress the Warriors.

Therefore, in terms of odds, the 76ers are far ahead of the Warriors. Most people are optimistic about the 76ers in this finals showdown.

Warriors coach Steve Kerr also knows this very well. Before going to Philadelphia, he studied several games of the 76ers in this playoffs, including several big wins and several not-so-easy wins. This brings Steve Kerr to an important point.

"Luke, what do you think?" Luke Walton, who just retired last season, immediately became the Warriors' assistant coach this season.

The high IQ reflected in his playing days has obviously been applied to his coaching career. Although he is not yet the Warriors' chief assistant, Steve Kerr's cultivation of him has been very obvious.

On the other side, Warriors chief assistant Elvin Gentry noticed something fishy, ​​but no one knew whether it was the same as Steve Kerr.

Luke Walton shook his head honestly. To be honest, although there were some differences in the games Steve Kerr watched, the differences were not very big. Luke Walton didn't think there was anything special.

Steve Kerr is satisfied that now he can prove why he is the head coach and Luke Walton and Elvin Gentry are not just by speaking out.

"Actually, it's very simple. You've all seen it, but you just don't dare to say it. What I want to say is, judging from these games, one thing is the same - Anxi cannot be restricted!"

Luke Walton rolled his eyes and said in his mind: "Isn't this nonsense?"

Steve Kerr ignored Luke Walton’s eye roll;

He continued: "So, in the finals, we can't devote our troops to defend Anxi blindly. When necessary, we can adopt some special strategies, such as Jordan's Law!"

"Jordan's rule is to defend Jordan to death. If we can't defend Jordan anymore, we have to defend Jordan's four teammates. Michael Jordan alone cannot win the game. This strategy is applied to Anxi. I think The effect is the same. As a teammate of Michael Jordan, what I want to say is that Anxi is not better than Michael Jordan. Jordan’s Law has a chance..."

Steve Kerr is a loyal fan of ancient times. He has always believed that the stars of ancient times were better than the stars of modern times. If he were placed today, Steve Kerr, who was a role player back then, would at least be the same as Klay is now. thompson.

As for Anxi? There's no way he can compare to Michael Jordan.

The bonuses such as handcheck rules are the fundamental reason for the explosion of stars like Anxi. The Jordan Rules can make the young Michael Jordan suffer the taste of failure, and Anxi will certainly not escape such a fate.

Of course, Steve Kerr will not deny the power of Anxi. At least he believes that the current Warriors can only win this finals by using Jordan's rules.

"So...?" Elvin Gentry hesitated because what Steve Kerr said was different from what he thought.

But now, Steve Kerr already has his own ideas, and it's hard for him to say anything else.

"So, our policy for the next game is to defend the other four players of the 76ers! Cut off Anxi's passing lanes!"

…

On June 4, 2015, U.S. time, more than 20,000 fans gathered together at the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia, wearing uniform championship cheer uniforms. The uniform orange color instantly lit up the Wachovia Arena. Generally speaking, the atmosphere is obviously very fiery.

It is another rewarding season. After unexpectedly winning the championship last season, the 76ers this season are coming with a lot of momentum. All Philadelphia fans are looking forward to the team being able to defend the title.

The team's previous three rounds of playoffs have excited the whole of Philadelphia. They have swept every round. The 76ers are in such a hot state that they are about to burst. In such a state, it is simply unjustifiable not to win the championship.

The players on both sides quickly came out to warm up. In the commentary box on the sidelines, Tencent Sports from across the ocean also sent their strongest commentary team, host Ke Fan and guest Yang Yi, who will work together to commentate on the entire finals.

"This finals will be Anxi's fifth finals. It is worth mentioning that this is also his fifth year in the NBA..."

"So, Anxi has reached the finals every year since entering the NBA?"

"Yes, not only that, Anxi's team won the first four finals! Although in the first two finals, he was only a supporting role."

…

The two sang together, and before the game started, they first boasted about Anxi's winning percentage in the finals.

Compared with LeBron James, who made four finals appearances and failed all four times, Anxi made four finals appearances and won all four times. The gap between the two is really too big.

As for this fifth finals, both Ke Fan and Yang Yi believe that Anxi has a 98% chance of winning again, and only a 2% chance of losing.

Of course, this probability is Ke Fan and Yang Yi's own opinion. The real strength of the two teams will not be clear until the game starts.

However, before the game started, Anxi had already felt the pressure. The entire Warriors team looked unhappy. This game was not that easy to win...
