The yellow storm in the NBA

Before the start of the season, no one would have thought that Texas could reach the finals. In fact, despite having Durant, a super rookie, Texas’ overall strength was not outstanding. Originally, Texas

The fact that Sri Lanka only reached the second round is the best proof.

However, because of Quan Xiao's joining, everything changed. Compared with the original time and space, Kevin Durant, stimulated by Quan Xiao, trained more actively and his strength improved to a higher level, especially after experiencing the experience of leading the team with Oden

After the Ohio game, Durant had a deeper understanding of the game and became more comfortable playing.

As for Quan Xiao, as he continues to accumulate game after game, he has become more and more experienced, and he knows how to make good use of every weapon he has to contribute to the team.

As for other teammates, after experiencing these games, their strength has improved to some extent, and most importantly, their mentality has changed.

Sometimes, the impact of self-confidence on a player cannot be ignored. You must know that if a player with 100 points of strength has no self-confidence and only displays 80 points of ability, he may not be as good as a player with only 80 points of strength but performs strongly due to self-confidence.

A player with 120 points is great.

Of course, the most glorious among them is Coach Barnes, because he has led the team to create new history in Texas and reach the finals for the first time. If he finally wins the championship, this record will be further advanced.

Before the start of the season, his ultimate goal was to reach the top 16. Who knew that because of the addition of an unexpected player, his team would reach this stage.

Although Texas defeated Georgetown by a big score, the call for them to win the championship is still behind defending champion Florida.

Because Florida looks more balanced overall, and their frontcourt trio of George Noah, Al Horford, and Corey Brewer are all lottery favorites in this year's draft.

Maybe people can't confirm who is the real core of this team. Nationwide, you may not be able to find the second team with such a balanced player strength. The five starters all score in double figures and the top three players in scoring.

The difference in average points per game is 0.1 points, and players step up in every game.

Of course, a balanced strength does not mean that there is no leader. The most leadership person at Florida State University is naturally Noah, although the three main statistics per game are only the second in the team.

Two: 13.2 points, 8.5 rebounds and 1.8 blocks.

But the passion he showed on the court affected all the players. He would always loudly encourage his teammates on the court. Players who were not good at performing before now celebrate like Noah when they are excited.

In addition to his leadership qualities, his strength in the paint also gives opponents headaches. He is very good at using his body to squeeze into the paint to score. When defending, he can defend from the 2nd to the 5th position.

His feet move quickly, his physical fitness is amazing, he is very good at blocking rebounds, and he is very active in grabbing rebounds. Tip-ups and dunks are his important scoring methods.

Of course, the shortcomings are also obvious. His offensive skills are relatively limited, and he has not been able to develop a mid-range shot in the past three years.

Horford and Noah are a perfect match in the paint. Horford doesn't have as fast footwork as Noah, but his strong body and NBA-level size allow him to handle confrontations with ease.

He and Noah created Florida's famous no-fly zone, averaging the highest blocks (1.9) and rebounds (9.2) on the team.

Compared with Noah's lack of offensive methods, Horford's biggest improvement this season is the offensive end. His skillful inside footwork and relatively stable mid-range shooting allowed him to achieve the team's highest scoring average per game (13.2).

Another player is equally unforgettable. The outside lock Brewer was an important part of last year's championship. With a height of 6 feet 8, a super long wingspan, extremely agile movement speed, and tireless outside defense, he is already a

Top perimeter defender at the college level.

At present, his technical characteristics are very close to Howard of the Mavericks, and he may be even better in terms of passing vision. After the season, he averaged 13.1 points and 4.7 rebounds per game, which is the second highest in the team at 3.1 assists.

Highest 1.9 steals.

The light of the Trident shines on the entire American continent, even eclipsing their outstanding backcourt. Shooting guards Humphrey and Taurian Green were also contributors to last year's championship.

Texas has the talent, UCLA has the experience, and Florida, they have as much talent as Texas.

The talent of the Tridents does not require any extra ink. What is even more frightening is that the University of Florida also has richer experience than UCLA. Four of the five starters are

They are juniors, and shooting guard Humphrey is even a senior. This is why they are invincible in the championship.

The defending champion this season continued the excellent form of last season, and even had a 17-game winning streak. Finally, it reached the top 64 with a record of 33 wins and 5 losses in the Midwest Division, showing the style of the defending champion.

In terms of coaching, Florida head coach Billy Donovan has extremely rich coaching experience. He served as an assistant coach at the University of Kentucky from 1989 to 1994 and served as the coach at Marshall University from 1994 to 1996.

Since becoming the head coach of Florida in 1996, he has led the University of Florida to rise step by step, and finally won the NCAA championship in 2006, becoming a veritable championship coach.

What Texas faces is such a strong opponent with a team led by a championship coach that is in excellent overall shape and whose individual players are well-balanced.

However, Texas is not without a chance of winning. They also have their own advantages, which is Durant and Quan Xiao in the formation. The strength of these two people can be said to be the biggest reliance on Texas, and

How to bring out the full strength of the two depends on how Coach Barnes arranges his troops.

It seems that this year's Florida is still the team with the most championship potential, because they have the most balanced strength, the most outstanding overall talent, and the most experience.

The main team that won the championship last year is basically retained, and after a year of growth, the strength must have been improved to a higher level, and the cooperation between the main players must have become more tacit.

These factors will have an impact on the upcoming finals, and may even become a decisive factor in the outcome of the game. In comparison, no one in Texas has experience in the finals, including the head coach. This may be why

More people are optimistic about the reasons for Florida's successful defense.

Because experience can sometimes determine the outcome of a game. However, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and the inexperienced side may not necessarily lose the game. After all, hard power is the most important indicator.

The battle is about to begin. Who will be the one with the last laugh this year? The experienced and well-balanced defending champion Florida? Or the energetic Texas with twin stars? Everything will be revealed tomorrow.
