I'm really good at shooting.

In the previous core rotation lineup, Knight and Butler are only in the third grade in the new season.

As for Millsap, whose contract expired in the summer, he finally chose to stay on a three-year, 3 million contract.

This is obviously to follow Sun Hao and Yao Ming to have a big fight with the Lakers.

After a rough period, the curtain of the 2013-2014 season kicked off quickly.

At the beginning of the season, the performance of several teams has attracted much attention.

The first to bear the brunt is the Knicks, who have won consecutively since the start of the game, and averaged as many as 15 points per game.

Something similar happened to the Spurs, and this season too.

After experiencing "Duncan slapped the floor angrily" last season, after the team was reversed and lost the championship, the whole team was full of energy.

As a result, in the 2013~2014 season, they played very hard from the start, coupled with Popovich's newly developed "hammer tactic", the old Spurs played a super high level of offensive and defensive quality for a while, and in the season He successfully avenged and won the championship and became one of the NBA classics.

The current situation of the Knicks is very similar to that of the Spurs. After being defeated by the Bulls at a super level, they must have dissatisfaction written all over their faces.

So at the beginning of the season, they put in their best efforts.

And a very critical point is that James, who had a high ball possession rate in the team, also appropriately distributed some possessions.

This allows other players to have more room to play.

The biggest beneficiary is Paul George on the outside.

His ability has improved a lot compared to his rookie season, but he suffers from the lack of room to play around the Big Three.

Now that he has more ball possessions, he soon began to show his "McGrady II" strength.

In history, George almost lost his career because of an open fracture injury similar to Livingston's later. Although he came back miraculously, his strength has also declined a lot, especially his stability has become very poor.

In fact, before the serious injury, George was fully worthy of the title of "McGrady's second generation".

The ultra-long three-pointer that pretended to be more than one meter away from the three-point line to signal the defender not to come up, and his performance against James in the playoffs, seems to be the trend of small forwards in the league in the future.

So even with the Big Three, as long as he is given a chance, he can still play.

Then there's the Spurs.

Howard was exceptionally obedient under Popovich's training, and his back injury also healed after a summer of recovery.

As a result, the Spurs have the strongest inside combination in the league, plus Parker is at his peak, Ginobili who can still play, and Leonard who has begun to show his talent.

The strength of the Spurs' lineup suddenly became unprecedentedly strong.

According to the words of the Spurs fans, Duncan may really have a chance to win the second championship of his career this season.

In addition to these two teams, the remaining championship-level teams, the Warriors, Lakers, and Bulls, also performed very strongly.

And because of the strength of these teams, many teams that hoped to compete for the playoffs chose to play poorly shortly after the start of the season.

The so-called "big year after a small year", after experiencing a super small year like 2013, many teams are pinning their hopes on the draft in the new year under this background.

Andrew Wiggins from Canada, Joel Embiid from Africa, Exum from Australia, and Jabari Parker and Aaron Gordon from the United States.

These rookies have already shown very good talents overseas or in high school leagues and NCAA.

Winter goes and autumn comes, and a season passes in a blink of an eye.

After six months of competition, the curtain of the 2013~2014 regular season finally fell.

The final rankings of East and West are as follows:

In the East, the Knicks finally won 66 games and won 65+ games for two consecutive seasons, ranking second in the league and first in the East.

The remaining 2~8 are: Bulls, Pacers, Wizards, Raptors, Hornets, Eagles, Cavaliers.

It is worth mentioning that Harden played a better regular season performance than last season and directly brought the team to the upper half.

This also made fans and the outside world look forward to him again.

Of course, in view of his diarrhea performance last season, the outside world is still cautious about his performance in the playoffs.

In the West, the Lakers rank first in the league with a record of 67 wins!

At the beginning of the season, the Spurs in the West were the best, but the performance of the Lakers was not bad.

As the season slowly deepened, the team's performance is getting better and better. During the season, they have won three consecutive victories of 10+.

Jimmy Butler also ushered in a chance in his third season, and he squeezed out veteran Carter to enter the starting lineup.

Among the five starters of the Lakers, apart from Sun Hao and Yao Ming, the remaining three are all young people. This starting composition has both experience and great vitality, so it also produced a very great chemical reaction.

The Spurs are second with 63 wins.

The remaining 3~8 are: Warriors, Lone Ranger, Thunder, Grizzlies, Clippers, Nuggets.

After the ranking is determined, the game will start soon.

The Lakers' first-round opponent is the Nuggets

With Lillard and Anthony Davis in the lineup, the Nuggets realized their talents much faster than expected.

However, just like the previous Deron, he entered the playoffs for the first time in the West to gain insight and be ravaged.

After four games, with no suspense 4-0, the Lakers easily swept the Nuggets to advance to the second round.

Then in the second round, the Lakers faced the Thunder again in the second round.

The Thunder advanced after six fierce battles with the Mavericks.

The addition of Green is of great help to the Thunder.

Because compared to the previous Sefolosha, Green not only has a better defense, but more importantly has the ability to shoot from the outside, which makes him a very good partner with Westbrook.

They also caused much more trouble for the Lakers than last year.

But the final result was no big surprise, 4 to 2, the Lakers successfully eliminated the Thunder and advanced to the Western Conference Finals.

Then, in the Western Conference Finals, the Lakers met the Warriors again.

The performance of the Warriors in the regular season has declined slightly this year, and their performance in the playoffs has also declined slightly.

Before playing against the Spurs, they fell behind by a big score of 2 to 3. If it weren't for Durant's two games in a row, the Warriors might be cold.

However, the Warriors' lineup is here, and they are very motivated to meet the Lakers.

但是和去年不同的是湖人队今年一直都很顺，2比1，3比2，最后4比2。

Six games later, the Lakers knocked the Warriors out again.

The Warriors can be considered to have encountered the feeling that the Bulls had last year, that is, when Sun Hao and Yao Ming are both in good form, the game is indescribably difficult.

Then, there is the final most watched finals.

Like the Warriors, the Knicks have been on a roll in the East.

When they met the Bulls in the Eastern Conference Finals, they were still in the same state, and easily defeated this old opponent 4-1.

James' release of the ball has been greatly rewarded in the playoffs, and the Knicks have suddenly become much more capable of playing.

Then, there is the belated Knicks Lakers battle.

The attention this game has received across the United States is absolutely unprecedented.

Because this is the first time in more than 40 years that teams from Los Angeles and New York have met in the finals again.

The last time they played against each other, the Knicks were led by Reed, while the Lakers were still in the period of "logo man" West.

That finals was earth-shattering. Reid staged "The Return of the King" and finally helped the Knicks defeat the Lakers to win the championship.

So this rematch is also particularly interesting.

Moreover, compared with last year, the Knicks are much stronger in terms of strength and state, and they can definitely split [-]-[-] with the Lakers.

A. Smith made a bold statement before the game: Only the Knicks can stop the Lakers. LeBron will take over Sun Hao's No.1 position in the league this year.

Against this background, the finals of the two teams will begin soon.

In G1, the Knicks directly gave the Lakers a slap in the face, beating the Lakers 126-122 to win their first victory.

The offensive and defensive quality of this game is beyond the understanding of fans of this era. Every round of the two sides is very exciting, basically just fighting for details.

In the end, a mistake by Butler on the Lakers side ruined the Lakers' victory.

However, the way Sun Hao touched Butler's head to comfort him after the game became a classic scene.

And Sun Hao also spoke for Butler in the post-match press conference.

"Everyone pays the price of growth, it's never one person's fault, it's our team's loss."

This kind of encouragement moved Butler beyond words. Perhaps at this moment he really knew how lucky it is to be able to play with Sun Hao.

In G2, the Lakers came back strong at home, Sun Hao turned on the day-to-day mode and was unstoppable, and Butler also showed his tough side. Although he fell off the field several times in the confrontation with James, it also forced James to walk continuously and became angry. The competition was unprecedentedly fierce.

The two sides still fought until the last moment, and Sun Hao finally hit a series of difficult goals to take the game away.

127 to 123, the Lakers rebounded.

G3, returning to New York with a score of 1 to 1, New York fans are also unprecedentedly excited.

Because the next three home games are played in New York, if the Knicks can grasp it, they will be able to witness the team win the championship at home.

Things are indeed developing in the direction they expected.

Perhaps it was because the previous games played too smoothly, and Sun Hao and Yao Ming were rarely in a good state together.

In the end, the Knicks defeated the Lakers 117 to 101 and took a 2-1 lead.

This is the first time since the two formed a team that they fell behind by a large score.

G4, this game is very important for both sides, especially for the Lakers. If they lose 1 to 3 and fall behind, they will directly enter the Knicks' match point game.

That is to say, in this game, both Sun Hao and Yao Ming ushered in a strong rebound.

The brutal scene of Sun Hao dunking George during the game was called "Kill George" by the fans after the game.

Under their leadership, the Lakers tied the big score 121 to 109 to a 2-2 tie and brought the finals back to Los Angeles.

Then, there is the battle of Tianwangshan in Madison.

G5, this was the worst game of the season. Yao Ming, Millsap, and Hibbert all committed 6 fouls until the end.

At the end of the game, the fans felt that Sun Hao had a fight with the whole world.

Then, he won.

He blasted down the NBA's unprecedented finals of 70+, and Barkley fell to his knees in the commentary booth.

This game is therefore called "the performance of the century" by fans.

G6, the game returned to Los Angeles, just when the fans thought the game was stable with the "G6 grandson", Anthony suddenly went berserk on the Knicks side.

When there were rumors that the Big Three disintegrated last season, Anthony was the one suggested by the fans to be traded.

Because Anthony's defense has always been a weakness, and his position overlaps with James'.

All this season he has been holding back his energy, and then finally in the most important G6 he ushered in a runaway.

He scored the only 50+ in the finals of his career, leading the Knicks to a 131-127 victory over the Lakers, dragging the game into the final tiebreaker.

By this time Stern was already grinning from ear to ear.

Because the ratings of the finals have exploded again and again.

Not only the ratings, but also the topics on social media are endless.

The attention of the tiebreaker is catching up with most football games.

With unprecedented attention, the tiebreaker kicked off.

In the final game, no one retreated, and the intensity of the game was so fierce that the score on the court never exceeded 5 points.

The two teams were deadlocked from the beginning to the end.

At the last moment of the game, Anthony contributed a quasi-lore, but Sun Hao made a three-pointer in the final double-team to counter the lore!

The fans at the Staples Center went crazy.

At the beginning, Jordan's "last shot" in G6 was regarded as a classic by fans.

And Sun Hao's shot was also called "a shot of death" by fans, and became a classic among classics.

In the end, after a round of hot finals, the Lakers still completed the defense and won a wave of two consecutive championships!
