How big is the difference between the Warriors in the Finals and the Warriors in the regular season playoffs?

In fact, there is not much difference. The players are still those, and there is no increase or decrease.

But obviously, if you say there is no difference, then you just look down on the Cavaliers' strength to enter the finals and their performance this season.

Although the Warriors did not change any of their players in the finals, the resurrection of Wade and Ron Howard definitely made the entire Warriors extremely terrifying.

Before the finals began, the Warriors head coach Cole was most worried about Chen Xiao and Davis' defense against James and Oden.

Oden is the strongest and most comprehensive big center in the NBA. Chen Xiao's height is definitely not able to defend against him. James is the player with the most comprehensive offensive and most comprehensive offensive in the NBA's power forward position. It is also difficult for Davis to defend against James alone, and it is not easy to attack James.

It can be said that the Warriors will struggle to get inside this finals.

In this case, the Warriors need Klee, Wade, Ron Howard, Devin Booker, Jaylen Brown, Curry Jr., Norman Powell, Van Vleet and others to mobilize James and Oden's assisting defense.

If you want to mobilize Oden and James' assisted defense, you can't shoot accurately on the outside, because the Cavaliers' outside defense is also excellent.

If the Cavaliers' outside defense does not collapse, they will defend you one-on-one. Even if the players shoot accurately, their shooting percentage will be the same. They will definitely not be as good as Oden and James' offensive shooting percentage in the inside. The Cavaliers will not even look at you at all.

Therefore, the Warriors must have singles to play stronger on the outside!

In the last final between the Cavaliers and the Warriors, the Warriors had no strong points on the outside offense except Chen Xiao, and was almost turned around by the Cavaliers when the situation was dominant.

And this time, the Warriors' offensive strength was stronger on the outside.

Not even one, not even two, but three!

Wade and Ron Howard really burned themselves in a limited time.

Wade is now playing like the peak, and he can break through lightning, and at most he can stick to a high level in the quarter.

Luo Ge was in a confrontation like the peak, holding the ball, turning around and leaning back to play singles. Due to physical strength, he could only persist in the half-time at most.

In this case, the Warriors have at least half-time per game and need another strong point on the outside offense to attract the Cavaliers' defense.

And this strong point on the outside really stood up in the finals.

In the first three games, two of which were the Warriors at home, the Cavaliers started with a 2-1 win.

After the Warriors won one game in G1, the Cavaliers won two games in a row.

In such an extremely dangerous situation, experts in the entire league were shouting that Chen Xiao would stand up in G4 to save the Warriors, don’t be humble, and take over the game like the God of Basketball, and win the game like the peak.

Then something magic happened.

Someone in the Warriors has indeed become unparalleled.

But this unparalleled person is not Chen Xiao, but Devin Booker, the Warriors focused on training this season!

G4 and G5, in two consecutive games, Devin Booker scored 40+ with a shooting percentage of more than 50%. As a substitute, when Wade and Ron Howard had tried their best and were exhausted, the young Warriors defender picked up the spear they left behind and rushed towards the Cavaliers like Zhao Zilong.

As a third-year student, Devin Booker is very young, but Devin Booker is not lacking in experience because this is the third consecutive finals he has played in his career.

When the team needed him, he was not nervous, and he really stood up next to Chen Xiao.

Devin Booker's big explosion is absolutely deadly for the Cavaliers.

Because there is such a strong offensive point on the outside, this will loosen the inside defense of Oden and James, and will also affect the defense of Danny Green and Matthews against Klei and other Warriors' shooters.

Let’s just say that, the Cavaliers, the best team in the league, claims to have no defensive loopholes, appeared after Devin Booker broke out!

Then, Kree, Thick Eyebrow, and even Curry Jr., Jaylen Brown, Powell, and even VanVleet were alive.

When most of the Warriors players were stormed by the internal and external connections between Chen Xiao and Devin Booker, the Cavaliers were really hard to play.

The Warriors are much stronger overall.

In fact, if you really have to compare your overall strength, the Bucks are better than the Cavaliers.

The Cavaliers' strong point is that they can block Antetokounmpo, Zhu Meng, Ariza Red Ye Yin Godara and other super players, so that the Bucks cannot show their super strength.

In the first three games of the finals, except for Chen Xiao, Wade and Ron Howard, the Warriors did not actually show their full strength, and many of their strengths were sealed.

And Devin Booker's outbreak opened such a seal!

In the end, the Warriors also won three consecutive games after losing two games in a row.

In the end, he defeated the Cavaliers with a big score of 4-2, won the 2018 NBA championship, and completed four consecutive championships in the history of the Warriors.

In this finals, Devin Booker became Chen Xiao’s most capable assistant with a crazy performance of 28.2 points per game.

In the history of the NBA Finals, among players under the age of 25, there are only seven players including Bob Pettit, Jerry West, Rick Barry, Shake O'Neal, Chen Xiao, James, and Rose, and Devin Booker is the eighth one after that.

In fact, although Devin Booker is less than 25 years old now, his actual age is 22 years old, which makes him the youngest player in NBA history to average more than 28 points per game in the Finals after James and Chen Xiao.

It was precisely because of such an outstanding performance in the finals that Chen Xiao and Wade picked up Devin Booker's left and right hands at the same time and raised them high.

This made the thick eyebrows beside him look at the envious and jealous.

He has been the second in command of the Warriors for so long, but he has not received such treatment.

Of course, no matter how much Devin Booker's performance in this finals is worth it.

All I can say is that it is too strong.

Who would have thought that the template used to be a player who combined Klai and Kobe could finally perform like this in the finals?

In this finals, Devin Booker seemed to be like a combination of Klee and Kobe.

By the way, although Devin Booker's performance was very outstanding in this finals, the MVP in the finals was still taken away by Chen Xiao for unanimous votes.

In this finals, although the Warriors are not as desperate as last season's Bucks, they are actually very dangerous.

In the last finals, the Warriors were actually taking the initiative.

In this finals, the Cavaliers actually took the initiative after playing three games.

Anyone who knows the NBA knows that taking the initiative and not taking the initiative are very different.

Taking the initiative means that even if you fall behind in the big score, you have a chance to turn the tables. Being behind is nothing and can be reversed.

If you don’t take the initiative, you will be really behind. If you want to reverse it, it will be really difficult.

Therefore, after the Warriors fell behind 1-2, they took the initiative to be taken away by the Cavaliers again. At that time, the atmosphere inside the Warriors was indeed very tense.

Even Chen Xiao was in a very serious mood.

Fortunately, in the end, Devin Booker did not waste Chen Xiao's uproar in the Cavaliers' inside, and worked frantically. With a good space, he successfully stood up.

In this finals, Chen Xiao averaged 11.8 of 24 shots per game, and with a shooting percentage of 49.5%, he averaged 31 points, 16 rebounds, 8.5 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks per game.

In this final, Chen Xiao created an alternative final, that is the final with the lowest hit rate in his career.

This final is also the lowest hit rate in Chen Xiao's career history.

I have to say that the inside combination of the Cavaliers led by James and Oden is really amazing. They can seal the Bucks' forwards in the East. This is really no joke.

In this finals, Oden and James performed very well.

James averaged 30.2 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.5 blocks per game, and averaged triple-double in the finals. Let's put it that way, James can be said to have defeated the NBA's future power forward in this finals.

After this finals, James proved with facts that he is still the league's number one power forward, and Davis still has a long way to go to take over the number one power forward.

James's partner Oden averaged 28 points, 18 rebounds and 2.6 blocks in the finals.

In this final, Chen Xiao and Oden can be regarded as having their own styles and advantages and disadvantages. Overall, Chen Xiao is a little stronger, but Oden did not collapse. He defended the Cavaliers' defensive system on the defensive end and also played the style of his first traditional center in the league on the offensive end.

Let's just say that Oden, who was not that strong in the past, was definitely not as good as Chen Xiao and was beaten by Chen Xiao. It would be impossible for him to average 28 points per game.

Although Oden's shooting percentage is not as high as the Eastern Conference Finals, his shooting percentage of 47% is not that low.

After all, Chen Xiao can always score 60% of the shooting percentage in the finals, and this finals are only 49%.

Therefore, in this finals, the Cavaliers' double tower performance was as outstanding as ever.

Even if I lost the finals, the entire league praised the strength and performance of the two.

In the Golden Eagle era led by Chen Xiao, Wade and Ron Howard, the championship is actually not a standard for evaluating a player's strength.

Just like Nowitzki of the Mavericks, even though he retired, NBA experts have praised his performance in the finals when competing with Chen Xiao.

It can only be said that in this time and space, the NBA is not a turn-based game, nor is it the champion that decides everything. Except for the champion and FMVP, other players should retire directly because they have no championship, FMVP, and no data, so there is no meaning.

And in this time and space, all this makes sense.

At least, at the home court of the Warriors, at the end of the G6 finals, the Warriors fans at the scene gave the Cavaliers players the warmest applause.

I have to say that over the years, Warriors fans really like to applaud the visiting team, and have already applauded the Bucks and the Cavaliers in the finals.

I can only say that the finals over the years have been really exciting.

In the finals of the four years, the Warriors played the Cavaliers for two years and the Bucks for two years. These four times were very exciting.

It can only be said that the Warriors' four consecutive championships are really valuable. The Cavaliers and the Bucks are really super strong teams at the historical level, and even teams that can compete for the strongest level in history.

But no matter what, no matter how strong the opponent is, the Warriors still completed a crazy four-game championship.

And Chen Xiao also completed the first four consecutive championships in his incredible career.

After this four consecutive championships, Chen Xiao also achieved a goal that made Russell look at, that is, Chen Xiao became the third player in NBA history to wear both hands with the championship ring.

Chen Xiao can now call himself the Lord of the Rings in a dignified way.

He entered the finals 10 times, won 10 times, and 10 times FMVP. There is no doubt that after the victory in this finals, Chen Xiao really achieved perfect results.
