The 2019 Finals has been over for a while. Under the leadership of Leonard, the Raptors won the first championship in team history and became the biggest winner of the season. This year is an extremely difficult year for the Warriors and Rockets, the favorites to win
.
The problem for the Warriors is injuries and contract extensions. In this year’s playoffs, the Warriors have injured Cousins, Durant, Rooney and Clay successively. Curry and Iguodala also fought with injuries. Such a large area of injuries
More unfortunately, Durant and Clay’s serious injuries have greatly reduced the Warriors’ combat effectiveness. Without these two giants with excellent offense and defense, Curry alone
It is too difficult to lead the team with Green.
The Warriors will usher in the most difficult year next season. In addition to serious injuries, Clay and Durant are also their contract years. Clay is a completely free agent, while Durant has player options and can choose to jump out.
The contract, if they renew the contract with the Warriors with a maximum salary, it will be very difficult for the Warriors to enter the playoffs in the Western Conference next season. If they do not choose to renew or only renew one contract, the Warriors’
In the future, the dominance of the past three years will be lost, and it will be much more difficult to win the championship again.
The problem for the Rockets is internal conflicts, mainly manifested in the conflicts between the coaching staff and the conflicts between star players Harden and Paul. Since Paul was traded to the Rockets, the Rockets have achieved obvious results. In the first year of the regular season, the league
First, the playoffs reached the Western Conference finals and forced the Warriors to the tiebreaker before losing. In the second year of the regular season, they were fourth in the regular season and lost 6 games to the Warriors in the semifinals of the playoffs.
It can be seen that in the past two seasons, the Rockets are the team second only to the Warriors in the Western Conference. Only they have the hope of defeating the Warriors in a 7-game 4-win series.
The Warriors were unlucky, so how to explain why they still lost to the Warriors without Durant in the playoffs in the second year?
Falling at the feet of the Warriors again this year has become an eternal pain in the heart of the Rockets. Why is this mountain so difficult to cross, and every time they are short of breath (the desire to win), the internal contradictions of the Rockets have also begun to explode. First, the defensive coach
Bzdelik resigned, and then another defensive assistant coach Roy Rogers also announced his resignation, leaving only the offensive coach headed by D’Antoni, and D’Antoni could not negotiate a new contract with the team.
Got a grudge.
In addition to the confusion of the coaching staff, many reporters broke the news that Paul and Harden had irreconcilable conflicts. Although Paul, Morey and others have stood up to refute the rumors, many things will not be groundless. After watching the Rockets game, Harden
There is a serious lack of communication and cooperation with Paul in the game. The two sides cannot be twisted together. With the two cores, it is naturally difficult for the Rockets to defeat the Warriors who work together. In such a situation, the combat effectiveness of the Rockets will become worse and worse.
Withdrew from the championship, unless there is a fundamental change.
And just after the Warriors fell due to injuries and the Rockets withdrew from the championship due to conflicts, the Lakers, who had missed the playoffs for 6 consecutive years, ushered in a good opportunity for the top position.
The probability of winning the league is the first, and they are expected to reproduce the miracle of the Green Army 11 years ago.
The Celtics completed a great miracle 11 years ago. In the 2006-07 season, the Celtics only scored 25 wins and 58 losses in the regular season, ranking first in the East. However, after a season, they introduced Garnett
And Ray Allen, formed the luxury Big Three. In the first season of their cooperation, they had the first record of 66 wins and 16 losses in the league. They were also the only team in the league with 60 wins+.
Passed all the way in the game and won the highest honor of the championship that year.
It is a miracle that a team can counterattack and win the championship in the new season when they failed to make it to the playoffs last season.
, They only achieved the 10th record in the Western Conference this season. The team has failed to enter the playoffs for 6 consecutive seasons, but this season they have introduced Big Eyebrows, and there is still salary space to attract other All-Stars or practical champions. The Lakers
There will be great hopes for a counterattack to win the championship.
