The Western Conference Finals were played faster than people thought, and the Clippers easily eliminated the Mavericks 4-1.

The Clippers didn't have trouble dealing with the Mavericks, and they could pull Gasol Jr. out of the restricted area again and again by covering the outside without the ball.

James forced a breakthrough to the inside, attracting the opponent's defense to shrink and distribute the ball to his outside teammates to shoot three-pointers; Curry is actively looking for cover, first striving for three-point shooting, attracting the opponent's formation to expand, and then making it convenient for him to break through, or create misplaced opportunities to share the ball with teammates to attack.

James' individual ability is certainly much stronger than Curry's, and one-on-one is almost unstoppable, but his way of leading the team can easily fall into singles, and teammates stand up to the position, not misplaced, relying on him to attract the bag.

Curry's way of leading the team is easier to play the role of the system, although he will be said to be "seriously overrated" and "just a system player" by some people who like to watch strong plays, but his teammates have practiced it, but they are not negotiable about beating strongmen.

The Mavericks' two big interior lines, Nowitzki and Gasol Jr., are relatively slow to move, and they are not good at blocking and dismantling, and they will be deflated when they are expanded; Paul and Ellis suffered from their height, interfering with their shots, and doing a poor job of defending the interior aircut.

In the last round, Harden played a luxury statistic, and the Rockets just lost overall.

The fourth game of the Mavericks' victory relied on fighting offense, falling behind 0-3 with their backs to the water, and Nowitzki, Paul, and Ray Allen played well outside the three-point line.

Ray Allen is definitely retiring, and his only takeaway this season is a big increase in his overall three points.

It's useless, as long as Curry doesn't get hurt, Ray Allen will sooner or later be overtaken and give up the top spot. Since joining the Clippers, Curry has never averaged less than three points per game in a single season.

The Eastern Hawks eliminated the Wizards 4-2 and made it all the way to the Finals.

The two teams are evenly matched, and the difference in points is not big in each game. The Hawks won on the whole, with six players averaging double-doubles per game in the playoffs, and backup point guard Dennis Schroder averaging 18 minutes per game and nine points and 4.3 assists.

Wiggins cut his playoff minutes to 26 minutes and finished with 10.6 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.6 assists, still the most prominent among rookies. He's the No. 1 pick, the Rookie of the Year and the finals in his rookie season, and very few people can do that.

Predicting the game during the break, almost all experts are unanimously optimistic about the Clippers defending their title, very few are optimistic about the Hawks, and the media even uses the word "upset".

The Spurs' Popovich team can't win against the Clippers, the Mavericks Big Three have also been cleaned up, the Hawks have no superstar, just led by a Spurs coach, no matter how you look at it, it is difficult to pose a threat to the Clippers.

Discussing the game online, fans who like to watch stars score points unanimously support the Clippers, the Hawks have nothing to attract them, and Millsap, who has the best playoff stats, averages 16.7 points, 7.8 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game...... What are the highlights?

On the Clippers' side, Curry certainly has the capital to attract fans, three-pointers from a long distance, and the ability to score efficiently.

Although many people feel that Curry's scoring ability is not strong enough, he only averages 24.7 points per game in the playoffs. In fact, Curry only plays an average of 33 minutes per game, and if he plays 40 minutes, he may cut 30+, and the efficiency is scary.

The Hawks are completely at a disadvantage, the team's morale, star strength, and game experience are all inferior to the Clippers, and their owner Bruce Levinson is a strange guy who doesn't care about the team's record and only wants to sell the team.

In September last year, Levinson issued a statement and informed league president Adam Silva that he was ready to sell a controlling stake in the team because of racism.

Donald Sterling was forced to sell the Clippers after revelations of racism, and Levinson revealed himself that in August 2012 he wrote an email to the team's shareholder and general manager, Danny Ferry, in an inappropriate and offensive manner.

In the second half of the statement, Levinson announced that the team's CEO, Steve Koenen, was in charge of all operations and the sale. Levinson then apologized again for his previous remarks and praised the Eagles' management, coaches, players and others over the past 10 years.

Levinson became the majority shareholder of the Eagles in 2004 and has ranked 18th in the team for the highest number of viewers over the past 10 years. Atlanta is a competitive city with NFL and MLB teams and a fanatic passion for college football. To put it bluntly, Levinson just didn't want to play because the team didn't make money.

In January, the Eagles officially announced that they would sell their stake in the team, and the team that is currently growing by leaps and bounds is about to change hands. The management is about to be replaced, and the logistics staff are generally not motivated, which also indirectly affects the morale of the team.

Taken together, the ratings for the first game of the finals are bound to be very disappointing for Silva, with far fewer people paying attention to the final than last season, and the gimmick is insufficient.

Only Clippers fans are more active, they want to see the team make history and surpass the Bulls, Green Army, and Lakers three consecutive championships. As for the Green Army's 8 consecutive championships in the 60s, there is no comparison. At that time, there were about 100 people in the league, excluding the substitutes, there were less than 50 starters, and less than 30 were powerful......

The fans who watched the game wore the new red commemorative T-shirts issued by the Clippers this year. Not only ordinary fans, but even Yang Rui's girlfriend sitting in the front row, friends Leonardo, Jennifer, Thomas and others also wore red T-shirts. Shirley wore a specially tailored small T-shirt, which was particularly eye-catching.

The promotional video on the big TV screen is the highlight of the Clippers' three consecutive championships, and the video of Yang Rui with Infinity Gloves has also been edited in, the game has not started yet, everyone has a concept in their hearts, the Clippers are the best, invincible!

Clippers starters: Curry, Danny Green, Middleton, Draymond Green, Pau Gasol.

Hawks starters: Jeff Teague, Korver, Wiggins, Millsap, Al Horford.

Budenholzer made adjustments according to the Clippers lineup, Carroll came off the bench to defend Gay, and to ensure a stable three-point point in the second quarter, and the substitute for the offense with the ball was definitely the small guard Schroder who broke through the super strong.

The Clippers attacked first, Curry controlled the ball on the perimeter, and Teague defended.

Curry dribbled two steps to Draymond in the middle and ran to the right baseline.

The space is open, Draymond will definitely not choose to attack, his template is Millsap, at the time of the draft, people thought this was his ceiling, the two styles are very similar, and now Draymond has better defense than Millsap, and the offense is slightly inferior.

Curry flanked and Gasol screened off the ball, got rid of Teague and ran to the line, and Draymond immediately passed the ball over.

After Teague was blocked, Horford switched defenses quickly, keeping a one-and-a-half-step distance, able to prevent breakouts, and also interfered with shots.

HORFORD IS A WELL-ROUNDED INTERIOR PLAYER, ACCURATE MID-TO-LONG-RANGE SHOOTING, OMNIPOTENT IN BLOCKING AND HANDLING AND FINISHING OFFENSE, 208CM TALL, FAST, AND ABLE TO LAUNCH AND FOLLOW UP ON FAST BREAKS. He's the size of a power forward, but he's able to play center and defend very well, and he's good at helping defense, and he's good at grabbing rebounds.

Curry received the ball and shook it off, forced a break towards Horford, and went to the middle to attract Millsap to help defend. This is what Curry learned from Paul, it is easier to attract interior defenses, at this time Horford can't retreat too far back, once he retreats, Curry can stop and step back to shoot jumpers, or he can choose to throw forward.

Superstars and ordinary stars are the difference in details, Guy is better than Curry, but he won't take this step towards people, so he lacks aggression and can't reach the top team.

Horford kept his distance to defend, Curry suddenly jumped up while running, passed the ball to the basket with a throwing motion, and Gasol cut in the air and scored on the board easily, 2-0.

It's that simple!
