The NBA started with helping Iverson win the championship

Chapter 308
Li Xun has always felt that his luck is very good.

Originally, this year's finals still had a little bit of suspense, especially facing the Pistons.

If Curry shoots a three-pointer, the Mavericks may not be able to bear it.

Defending Curry does not mean that you can defend well, it depends on Curry's own touch.

But now playing against the Raptors or the Bulls, the situation is much, much better.

These two teams are relatively retro-style teams, especially the Bulls. Their main outside attack point is Rose, and the three-pointer is not strong.

However, Li Xun is the player who is least afraid of the opponent's breakthrough, so once he meets the Bulls, the Mavericks' team name will definitely be engraved on the championship.

And if facing the Raptors, the situation is actually similar. The Raptors do not have a strong offensive point outside.

Cuban is in a great mood every day now.

When Li Xun first arrived, he had already found someone to order the championship ring.

Now it seems that his decision is so wise.

Even Cuban may directly give players championship rings on the night of winning the championship.

This is definitely the only one in NBA history.

This kind of thing has never happened before in other NBA teams, even the Bulls are no exception.

On the one hand, the team is thinking about holding a ring awards ceremony next season, and earning a little more money.

On the other hand, no one can guarantee that they will really win the championship.

You must know that the year of winning the championship must be engraved on the ring. If you don't win the championship, then the ring will be invalid.

If it is spread, it will be ridiculed.

So there has never been a team that directly gives a ring on the night of winning the championship.

But Cuban can definitely do this kind of thing, and now he is already planning.

Soon the Western Conference Finals will start.

Before the game, the players on both sides were restrained, and there was no such scene of yelling at each other and spraying trash.

The main reason is that the Thunder is short of major generals. Durant himself is not the kind of person who likes to bark. Even if he is that kind of madman, in the face of this situation, it is certainly impossible for him to be stupid enough to talk trash.

Because everyone knows that they have absolutely no chance of winning the series.

On Li Xun's side, he really has no interest in adding insult to injury, the current Thunder is miserable enough.

A player like Durant must not force him, he is really anxious, he can definitely make a move to run to a strong team.

After the start of the Western Conference Finals, the situation was as everyone expected. The Thunder really couldn't resist the pressure from the Mavericks.

Li Xun didn't even need to specifically mark Durant.

There are actually many players in the Mavericks who can defend against Durant, but the defensive effect is definitely not as good as Li Xun.

People like Green, Giba and even Clay can defend Durant.

"Li, congratulations, you have won another championship."

"This is already your fourth championship, and I haven't had a championship yet."

After the Thunder was eliminated at home, Durant said to Li Xun with a depressed face.

Li Xun smiled and patted Durant on the shoulder, "After all, there is only one championship."

"Your records in recent years have been good. Wait a minute, maybe you only need one chance to win the championship."

Durant certainly didn't believe these words.

Need an opportunity to win the championship?
It seems that one opportunity is definitely not enough. If the Thunder wants to beat the Mavericks now, they must at least introduce two first-line stars.

And it can't be introduced indiscriminately, it must be the kind of star with excellent offense and defense.

There have been many offensive lineups like the Trident, the Three Musketeers or the Three Musketeers in NBA history.

But without exception, none of these lineups won the championship.

The reason is that many of these stars can only be regarded as pseudo-stars.

The offensive efficiency is not high, relying on high shots, he scored good scoring data.

And the defensive efficiency is rubbish, not as good as the league average.

Such a player looks gorgeous in statistics, but he is completely useless, especially when it comes to the playoffs, his true form is immediately revealed.

They may not even make the playoffs.

For example, Marbury, Deer King Reid, and the Warriors boss Monta Ellis in the past two years are all such pseudo-stars.

They can score 30 points in a single game with low efficiency, and maybe their opponents can score [-] or [-] points on him.

Like the Mavericks' current players, such as Klay and Giba.

All belong to players with excellent offense and defense, and only such players can have a positive effect in the game.

"Li, don't comfort me."

"I feel that if there are no accidents, as long as you are in the Western Conference for one day, I may never make it to the finals."

Li Xun felt something was wrong when he heard these words. Could it be that this guy already had the idea of ​​leaving the team now?
This departure time is a bit too early!
Just wanted to ask Durant what he thought, but Durant waved his hand in a lack of interest and returned to the locker room.

Having his head shaved in the Western Conference Finals, Durant really doesn't want to chat.

After returning to Dallas, all the Mavericks have to do now is to wait quietly for the finals.

In the first four games, the Bulls and Raptors played like a raging fire.

But depending on the situation, it seems that the Bulls are stronger. Although the Raptors have a luxurious inside line like Jordan and Bosh, they still can't stand the charge of Marlon Boozer and Rose in the end.

In addition, there is Noah, the flower protector.

It is no exaggeration to say that the current Noah is even stronger than Jordan.

It seems that the centers produced in France are of very good quality. Noah and Gobert are typical representatives.

In terms of defense, Noah is slightly better than Jordan.

The reason why Noah's reputation in later generations is weaker than that of Jordan is mainly because he suffered too many injuries in his career, which prevented him from reaching the height he should have reached.

What makes Noah really stronger than Jordan is not defense, but his organizational ability.

That's right, this guy's offensive organization ability is quite good, and he can get triple-doubles of assists from time to time.

When it comes to centers with good organizational skills, most people either think of the old Sabonis or Brad Miller at the first time.

Lao Sa's peak period was not in the NBA, so there is no comparison.

But to say that compared with Miller, Noah is at least not a little bit stronger in assist data.

In his career, he played more than 200 games less than Miller, and the number of assists and triple-doubles in a single game was almost double that of Miller.

When it comes to Noah, many people have the impression that he is a rough blue-collar at the basket. Who would have thought that he has such a delicate pass.

In the final Eastern Conference Finals, the Bulls defeated the Raptors 4:2 and successfully won the finals tickets.

That night, Li Xun received a call from Ross.

It can be seen from his tone that he is really excited.

Unknowingly, Ross is no longer a rookie. He entered the league at the same time as Li Xun. Li Xun has already won four MVPs, and he has not had any decent achievements yet.

But now that he has led his team to the finals, he finally has a decent honor in his hands.

Before the game, many experts and fans predicted that the Bulls would definitely be swept by the Mavericks 4:0.

Even Li Xun thought so.

But in the first battle, Li Xun was directly dismounted.

The first game at home in Dallas, the Mavericks actually lost the game.

Not to mention outsiders, even the Mavericks felt a little unbelievable.

In this game, the Bulls didn't mean how many three-pointers they shot, they didn't shoot many three-pointers.

But in the end they won the Mavericks.

The reason is that their shooting percentage at the basket is too high.

In the previous games, Zhuang Shen performed quite well on the defensive end.

But on the stage of the finals, facing the murderous Rose and the strong Boozer, Zhuang Shen couldn't bear it.

Not only is the defensive efficiency not high, but the number of fouls is very high.

Before the end of the three quarters, he had left the field with six fouls.

Of course, this loss was not too much, and in the end they only lost three points.

And the Mavericks had the ball in the last offensive round. If it wasn't for Li Xun's failure to score the last three points, the game might have entered overtime.

"Sorry guys, I didn't play this game well."

Zhuang Shen said with a guilty face in the locker room after the game.

Li Xun waved his hand, "This is something newcomers must go through to grow up, there is no need to blame yourself."

"It's not bad to lose to them."

"At least this way we will be able to win the championship on our own home court."

"Isn't Cuban's plan to give us championship rings if we win at home?"

"Man, don't blame yourself, we should even thank you for letting us get the championship ring in advance."

Li Xun smiled and comforted Zhuang Shendao.

The psychological endurance of these new melon eggs is definitely not as strong as those old fritters.

Li Xun is worried that this game will hit Zhuang Shen and affect future development.

Zhuang Shen was full of gratitude in his heart, following such a boss, he would die without regret.

"Boss, don't worry, I will definitely not let you down in the next game."

Zhuang Shen immediately stood up and promised.

"Of course it is impossible to let me down, because I will sit at the basket with you in the next game."

"Let them take a closer look at what kind of terror reigns the league's strongest rebounding duo."

If Zhuang Shen plays normally, then he and Li Xun's rebounding strength can really be said to be the top two in the league.

Wait until the next second game.

Li Xun's position on the field began to become weird.

Let's say he is a center forward, and he is the one who controls the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt.

Let's say he is a point guard. After he controlled the ball to the frontcourt, he passed it directly to his teammates, and then drove into the penalty area.

Maybe this is the rumored true playmaker.

Needless to say, Noah also has this kind of ability. He also staged this kind of ball-handling show in the previous game against Lukay.

After stealing Pierce, he made a one-stop layup from the backcourt to the frontcourt.

This is the playoffs, not the All-Star game.

With Li Xun sitting in the penalty area, the Mavericks' defensive quality in the penalty area has directly improved by about [-] levels.

Even Zhuang Shen was confident in defense because of Li Xun's presence.

For a retro team like the Bulls, once they are strangled at the basket, the only thing waiting for them is to lose.

The key point is that I can't grab rebounds now.

After the game was over, Li Xun looked at his statistics and nodded in satisfaction.

31 points, 22 rebounds and 20 assists, another magical statistic for Double Twenty.

Among the 22 rebounds, there are 12 offensive rebounds.

Zhuang Shen also scored 27 points and 14 rebounds tonight.

Compared with the last game, Zhuang Shen proved himself again tonight.

Most of these 27 points were obtained by Li Xun's assists at the basket, and half of Li Xun's twenty assists were obtained by Zhuang Shen.

Li Xun is also speechless, it seems that with this style of play, he will get a lot of assists.

Before I knew it, there was another double twenty.

This is also the only double-twenty finals in NBA history.

In addition to the dominant performance of the duo at the basket, the old driver also poured out all the oil and water in the fuel tank tonight.

He played 31 minutes, took 13 shots, and scored 22 points with a super high scoring efficiency.

Obviously the Bulls lost.

This loss also poured cold water on the originally complacent Bulls players.

Defeating the Mavericks in the first game made them think of winning the championship.

As a result, this disastrous defeat directly scattered their thoughts, and made them realize that winning the first game was really just a kind of luck.

The next third and fourth games are the home of the Bulls.

The Chicago Bulls haven't been to the Finals in a long time.

The last time they entered the finals, it had to be traced back to Jordan's second dynasty era.

Now that it has entered the finals, as the third largest team in the league, of course there are a lot of fans here.

It's a pity that no amount of fans could save the Bulls, and they were sanctioned by Li Xun in the next two games.

Li Xun at the basket is really too scary.

Not only is he terrifying alone, he can also make the entire team of Mavericks display abnormal combat power.

尤其是第四战，李勋再度上演了逆天统治力，全场入账了41分15篮板13助攻10盖帽3抢断的超级四双。

There were two quadruple-doubles in one season, and they were different players on the same team.

One is a quadruple-double in steals in the playoffs, and the other is a quadruple-double in the finals.

Fans wonder if the NBA has entered an era of inflation, how quadruple-doubles can appear one after another.

But their feeling is actually right, the NBA has indeed entered the era of inflation.

Because the team scores in the small ball era are generally much higher than before, the total score is higher, and the individual scores of the players also have a high probability of increasing.

In the 90s, there were actually very few players who averaged more than 25 points per game in a season.

But after 2020, the number of such players will directly double.

With the end of four games, the Mavericks have scored a big score of 3:1, and they are only one step away from winning the championship.

Finally to the fifth game, the home of the Dallas Mavericks.

In this game, Li Xun did not give the Bulls any chance, and led the team to block the Bulls' dying struggle many times.

In the end, the Mavericks won the final round of the double bull competition.

The Mavericks won the first championship trophy in team history, and Li Xun also won his fourth championship trophy.
