In June, China has reached the college entrance examination season, and tens of millions of students are in dire straits. For the knights, they finally ushered in the final college entrance examination, this time there are seven test papers, but there is only one place, and their opponent also has only one, but he is the top provincial college entrance examination champion, a super scholar, so not many people are optimistic that the knight's stinky dick can stage a counterattack journey.

Before the game, the Los Angeles Times reported a special poll from China and the United States, showing that the results were that more than 5 percent of fans were optimistic that the Clippers could sweep their opponents, and more than 7 percent of fans were optimistic that the Clippers would end the battle within 5 games and win the championship Gold Cup for the third time - Larry. O'Brien Championship Trophy.

Domestically, a total of 500,000 fans participated in Tencent and Sina.com's surveys on predicting the outcome of the NBA Finals, while ESPN conducted the same poll with 300,000 participants.

Regarding the possible 8 score results of these two teams, in the above more than 900,000 votes, fans of the two places gave their own answers. According to the poll, nearly 91 percent of Chinese fans believe the Clippers will win the cup, while 86 percent of American fans say the same.

Among the 8 results, most fans in China and the United States coincided, and both listed the Clippers' 4-0 win as the first choice, and the Clippers' 4-1 victory over the Cavaliers as the second. Among the eight results, less than 10% of Chinese and American fans who regard the Cavaliers as champions believe that the Cavaliers must fight for 7 games to win the cup, and the Clippers must have serious injuries.

One big difference between the predictions of the two countries is that 70% of Chinese fans believe that the Clippers will win 4-0, while only 50% of American fans agree with this outcome.

Cavaliers fans burst into tears. What is "only 50%". Is this still a low percentage? Half of the fans think the Clippers are going to sweep. No matter how high the proportion is, the knight doesn't have to fight.

The media believes that neither team has any major injuries at the moment, which will improve the Finals Championship. On the Clippers' side, only McDyce was reimbursed for the Western Conference Finals, but the veteran has already been identified as a failed trade, and his absence has no impact on the Clippers. The Cavaliers were reimbursed by Ilguskas in the Eastern Conference Finals, and the big Z was definitely more important to the Cavaliers, but fortunately, the Cavaliers got the cut Milicic in the middle of the season, and they were not unavailable on the inside.

Milicic's talent is undoubtedly stronger than that of many of the current star insiders, and even Yao Ming's talent is not as good as that of the Serbian centre-forward. Milicic is an outstanding tall. Agile and versatile, his dribbling, passing, and spot-up jumpers allow him to move freely between center and power forward.

In that year's draft, many NBA teams coveted him, including the Jazz and Mavericks. Jazz scout Dahl. Sheen has said that if he had the No. 1 pick, he would not hesitate to choose Milicic over LeBron. James.

However, after being drafted by the Pistons, he only played 4.7 minutes in his first season, and the talent of the talented interior line was gradually consumed by the bench.

The Serbian centre-forward is not a man of resignation, and there is an element of unruliness in his character. But under the Pistons' Big Ben and Roaring Celestial, in Larry. Brown is in the hands of the champion coach. A 17-year-old genius really can't make any waves, he is completely suppressed.

Later, many people thought that Milicic was missing only two things than Yao Ming and the Animal Brothers, one was a good translator like Colin and the other was a good coach like Rudy and Dunleavy Sr.

Of course, the "good" here refers to the cultivation of newcomers, and the Pistons at that time were completely headed for the championship, and it was impossible to give a newcomer enough room to grow. So this may be his fate, and Milicic has one of the most important things missing from his character, he has no factor in his body to fight against fate, which dooms him to the end.

There are countless players in the NBA, and Billups in the Clippers was also a flower scout in the early years, and was known as a parallel scout in the early years, and he was transferred to the Celtics, Raptors, Magic, Nuggets, Timberwolves, and two teams in a season.

But Mr. Key didn't give up on himself like Milicic, and Billups always believed that his abilities would meet where he could shine, which is why he has the three championship rings and status he has now.

There are many more such examples, such as the Pistons' Big Ben, who had no team at all at the time of the draft, signed a non-guaranteed contract with the Washington Wizards at the age of 22, and was 28 years old when he won the best defensive player. Further forward is Rodman, who is also a Piston, and the redhead second seller in his first season was also not reused, but later became a champion for the Pistons and Bulls. Uncle Bao of the Spurs also became famous when he was nearly thirty years old. Other players include Arenas, the strongest second-round pick, Tekoglu, who only played in the first two years, and so on.

But if you want to find a player who most resembles Milicic, it has to be O'Neill Jr. Both men are top-notch talents, entering the NBA at the age of 18, but have been on the bench for the first few seasons. However, O'Neal Jr. later worked hard for 4 seasons and finally became an All-Star insider, on the other hand, Milicic worked on the bench for three years but collapsed, this is the character that determines fate, not luck.

The NBA said on May 25 that this year's NBA Finals will be broadcast on a record 155 television stations around the world, kicking off on June 1, when fans in 215 countries and territories will be able to watch the Clippers-Cavaliers Finals in 49 languages.

Among these television stations, three television stations from the Middle East have also appeared, which will be broadcast live in Arabic. A Jordanian television staff member said that the NBA is no longer a sports game in the United States, it has become a game all over the world, and hundreds of thousands of Jordanian fans are looking forward to the Animal Brothers sweeping the Cavaliers.

Cavaliers fans and players are speechless, everyone in the world is now buying them to be swept, and if the Clippers can't be swept, it is estimated that many will take to the rooftops. So the knight must be knocked down in the first four rounds, otherwise even the animal brothers will be scolded.

It is worth mentioning that among the two teams participating in the finals this time. A record number of non-American players were as many as nine. The countries and regions to which these international players belong will all be broadcast on the Grand Final. At the same time, it also means that international players have officially become an indispensable force in the NBA.

On the Clippers' side, Canadian-Chinese Ji Guoqiu and Ji Guosha, both Canadians, Joel. Anthony, Dragic of Latvia, Francisco of Dominica. Garcia and the Clippers have a total of five non-American players.

On the cavaliers' side, Spain's Juan Navarro and Brazil's Anderson. Vallejo, Serbia's Big Z and Milicic.

The last time the NBA had so many international players make it to the Finals was in 2007, when the Spurs and Cavaliers played each other, with nine non-American players on both sides.

Ji Guoyi continued to provoke James before the game, saying: "If James can start at full speed. Then he can do whatever he wants, because his strength and speed are outstanding. Speaking of this, Ji Guoyan paused, and the fans knew that he was going to say "but" next. Sure enough, the dead fox's expression became mocking, and he said, "But...... If he can't rush up, I'll keep him under 5 km/h. ”

Fans with good things have calculated, 5 kilometers is 5000 meters, and if you run for an hour, this Nima is not running at all. This is obviously walking.

James sighed privately, not bothering to pay attention to the dead fox's provocation.

The next day. Ji Guoyi teased the little emperor again, saying that their current task is to watch the Spurs VS Cavaliers game ten times, which will help them complete the same task.

This provocation had to be responded to, and James publicly stated for the first time: "Now, I'm a much better player than I was then, I'm 20, 40, 50 times better than I was in the 2007 Finals." Then on the comparison between then and now, James added: "First of all, I think we had a lot more experience as a team, the Cavaliers were very young at the time, and we played against a very experienced, well-trained team who overlooked us in every way. And for this team now, it's the second time we've reached the finals, so we're very experienced. We're not young, we're not inexperienced rookies, we know the opportunities we have. ”

However, James still avoided talking about the Clippers and the sweep, because he also knew that the current Clippers were a stronger team than the Spurs at that time, and the Cavaliers were only a little stronger than at that time.

On May 28, ESPN commented: To beat the Clippers, the Cavaliers and James must cross the following "three mountains".

Problem 1: Combination of internal and external

Combining inside and outside alone is easy to say, but it is quite difficult to do. The rocket has shouted "internal and external combination" for so many years, but has never been able to find a tacit understanding. Since the beginning of the 21st century, there are very few teams that can really combine inside and outside, and the Clippers are precisely the best team among them, even surpassing the OK combination of the year.

The Clippers have twin brothers on the inside, and both of these are ambiguously positioned insiders, even if they are on the outside. So the combination of inside and outside is actually a level up for them, and they almost put Pat. Riley Ideal Finished. In the past two years, the Clippers have sometimes had almost no interior linemen, but sometimes they can replace three insiders, which is why they can't beat.

The Clippers have been building a lineup around these two cores who can play the No. 3, 4, and 5 positions, and the outside firepower of Billups, Barnes, Afflalo, Crawford, Garcia, and Dragic is terrifying just to think about, and they are enough to provide enough help for the interior to open up space for the two brothers to play as they want. It is estimated that in the finals, James' own offense with the ball will still be the main offensive method of the Cavaliers, and can the little emperor lead the Cavaliers to maintain such a strong and continuous lethality as the Clippers?

Problem 2: General experience

Mike. Who is Brown? In the past, Spurs coach Popovich's assistants would only be "puppet" coaches with James as the core. Now that he's meeting another puppet coach in the Finals, Brown, who still hasn't had a ring, certainly won't have any advantage.

From the perspective of players, Crawford, Barnes, Afralo and Garcia are all heroes who have won two consecutive championships with the Clippers, Dragic and Jordan Jr. also won last year's championship with the Clippers, plus Billups, who has five Finals experience, the Clippers Players' Finals experience is beyond the reach of the Cavaliers.

Problem 3: Animal Brothers.

For the knights who lack internal strength, the two brothers are their ultimate weapons of destruction, equivalent to the two atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan, and the two brothers will definitely become a nightmare for the knights.

One only has to look at the number of the first three series of the two brothers to see how powerful these two are.

Ji Guoqiu played 12 playoff games, averaging 37.8 minutes per game, contributing 24.8 points, 17.9 rebounds, 8.1 assists, 4.5 blocks, 2.2 steals and 4.2 turnovers, shooting 62.6% from the field, 52.1% from three-point range, and 96.6% from the free throw line.

Ji Guoyi played 12 playoff games, averaging 37.2 minutes per game, contributing 33.6 points, 10 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 3 blocks, 2.5 steals and 3.4 turnovers, shooting 57.9% from the field, 47.6% from three-point range, and 93.4% from the free throw line.

Animal Brothers take out any of them casually and are not inferior to LeBron. James's superstar, first of all, excludes the problem of compatibility, then it can be completely described as a simple 1+1"1 to describe the strength comparison of the two teams, no matter how ferocious the gorilla is, he can't defeat two players of the same level as himself.

What's more, in addition to the animal brothers, the Clippers are also stronger than the Cavaliers in the comparison of other players, so there is no suspense about the outcome of the game. The most realistic question facing the Cavaliers is how to avoid being swept and whether the Clippers will become the first team in history to win all the playoffs and win the championship, which is the focus of fans' attention.

On May 29, the Clippers chose to open their practice in the afternoon, and the media flocked to it.

When asked if the Clippers already had clues on how to defend James, Clippers coach Dunleavy Sr. replied dryly: "Yes, we already have, it's not a big problem. That said, Dunleavy Sr. declined to give any details about his plans to defend James.

Dunleavy Sr. laughed and said, "The Clippers have a foolproof plan for how to defend James, but I won't reveal our plan." Honestly, we're going to keep our defense, and in the Finals, the Cavaliers will see some new defensive strategies for us. We haven't done that all season and I think they're going to be surprised. ”

At the same time, Ji Guoqiu also made it clear that he thinks that the current James is indeed stronger than in 07, but the whole Cavaliers team may not be the same. And like the elder Dunleavy said, they already have a way to deal with James, and they are guaranteed to get him into the same trouble as he did in '07.

"Obviously, we're ready, we don't have anything to prepare for the next few days, and now the whole team is waiting for the Finals to start, and Los Angeles can't wait." Ji Guoqiu said.

Ji Guoyi didn't mention the knights at all, but said: "I'm more concerned about the ownership of the MVP now, you all know, I haven't won this honor yet, this is an unacceptable stain on my life, I have to work hard for the MVP of the finals, this is my biggest goal this season."
