The NBA Finals Warriors vs. Celtics series will officially start at 9:00 a.m. Hong Kong time this Friday (3rd). The “Green Army” fought for the 18th championship in the history of the club. When the two heroes meet, the following three major focuses are believed to be the most worthy of everyone’s attention.
Celtics supernova Jayson Tatum is the only one who was selected for the first team of the year in this regular season and is still fighting in the playoffs. However, when it comes to the most eye-catching star in this series, it must be the star of the Warriors. Defender Stephen Curry. “Curry Boy” has led the Warriors to 3 championships in the past, but he has never been elected FMVP in the 3 finals, including the first championship, when his edge was suppressed by teammate Andre Iguodala, and then twice. Another teammate, Kevin Durant, won the FMVP award. However, “Curry Boy” has been aggressive this year. Not only has he won the MVP of the All-Star Game, but he was also elected as the MVP of the West Coast earlier. Whether it can achieve the “three consecutive” MVPs is a concern.
Secondly, this finals turned out to be the first time since 2010 that two teams that ranked in the top 5 in regular season defensive data at the same time played once morest each other. Warriors coach Steve Kerr joked earlier that he never designs tactics and only steals from other teams, but in any case, the Warriors showed strong defense in the playoffs, as well as changeable defensive tactics, whether it is face or face. Against the Grizzlies’ Ja Morant or the Mavericks’ Luka Doncic, the Warriors can limit them all. Among them, the Warriors have to strictly guard once morest Datu, who won the MVP of the Eastern Conference earlier this round. Warriors defensive experts Andrew Wiggins (Andrew Wiggins), Draymond Green (Draymond Green), and even hope to catch up with the recovered Piton II ( Gary Payton II), who will carry the burden, is another big focus.
As for the Celtics’ defensive system led by Defensive Player of the Year Marcus Smart, and veteran Al Horford guarding the bottom of the basket, whether the physical defense can put pressure on the Warriors’ offense will also be affected. is the key. You must know that the offensive ability of the Warriors has exploded in the playoffs. The Warriors’ striker led by the “Three Brothers of the Spray” Stephen Curie, Klay Thompson and Jordan Poole created a great deal in the playoffs. The league’s best offensive efficiency value, scoring 116.1 points per 100 possessions, will set off a climax for this “contradiction battle”.
In the end, the home and away advantage of the two armies will be the ultimate winning element. Generally speaking, the Warriors who have home-court advantage in this series should have the upper hand, but in this series, there are always variables. Undoubtedly, the Warriors have recorded 9 home victories in the playoffs this year. Just looking up the history, no team has ever recorded more than 10 home wins in the playoffs and can keep the home unbeaten. The team that wins all 10 games at home will win the championship. However, the Celtics are “Away Raiders”. In a total of 9 away games in the playoffs this year, they recorded a total of 7 wins and 2 losses, with a winning rate of 77.8%. The finals kick off at the Warriors Chase Bank Center on Friday, and whoever wins will be the winner.
