Since the 1988-89 season, the Jazz have been among the top teams in the league.

Putting aside the 92-93 season, they have won more than 50 games in eight seasons in the past nine seasons.

This stability is almost comparable to that of the later Spurs and Mavericks.

But this eight 50-win season, the Jazz have never been a favorite to win the championship.

Even if he won 50 wins for eight consecutive seasons, he never made a championship favorite, the Jazz broke the record.

However, this season, the Jazz are very close to the championship popularity.

Malone and Stockton have been playing together for 12 seasons, and they are becoming more and more tacit.

It was already tacit understanding. Once Ma Long took off his pants, Stockton would grab his big baby and start rushing.

Just like G1 of the West Finals, Malone turned around and Stockton grabbed the basketball and accelerated over Malone's cover.

Why is it said that the Jazz this season is very close to the championship favorite?

Because of the regular season, they defeated most of the first-tier teams, and even the Warriors lost one Jazz in four regular season matches.

In the playoffs, the Jazz were also a random kill.

After killing the Rockets, they directly raised their momentum to the highest level.

But compared to the Warriors, it's still a bit of a bad idea.

But at least, the Jazz's series of random killings still convinced the public that they could fight the Warriors.

But the reality is-

"John Stockton passed the cover, and the Warriors changed defense directly!"

"Star faces Carl Malone, Dennis Rodman faces John Stockton..."

"After changing rooms, the Warriors' defensive matchups are not at all a disadvantage."

The Warriors' defense change directly awakened everyone's memories.

The Warriors have always been the existence of Sir Tianke in the past few seasons.

Because their lineup can be used to switch unlimited defenses, the Jazz's pick-and-roll offense was directly defeated.

Jerry Sloan frowned, and he quickly made a series of adjustments, including multiple pick-and-rolls, and the use of Rodman to attack the black hole to attack Lin Xing crazy.

If it was last season, the Jazz's adjustments could really work.

But this season, no matter how the Jazz adjusts, it will be useless.

Multiple pick-and-rolls can indeed avoid the siege of Lin Xing and Rodman, but for the Warriors, it is only a matter of having one more person on the strong side.

Whether it is Kobe, Russell, or Wilkins, Charlie Ward and Chris Chiles, the defense is excellent enough.

As for using Rodman to attack the black hole and attack Lin Xing crazy?

Lin Xing this season is not afraid of pincer attacks.

After defending against the Jazz's pick-and-roll attack, Lin Xing took over the basketball and launched a counterattack.

He rushed through the field, looked at Antoine Kyle who had no brains to retreat and directly retreated to the three-point line.

Lin Xing stopped stepping on the middle circle, and raised his hand and made a three-pointer.

Swish—!

"Logo three-pointer, logo three-pointer. The Jazz were too careless. They actually put Lin Xing's logo three-pointer..."

Antoine Kyle spread his hands, he really couldn't do anything about it.

Lin Xing’s current threat is so great that he must follow the precautions from beginning to end, and he cannot take a single step.

He really couldn't eat or live...

In fact, even if Antoine Kyle follows Lin Xing, the ending may be the change—

"The Warriors once again defended the Jazz's pick-and-roll attack, Alonzo Moening grabbed the rebound, and the offense and defense were converted."

"Star received the ball, and another wave of counterattack, and a frenzy came!"

In this wave, Antoine Kyle followed him, but when he rushed to the frontcourt, Lin Xing directly pushed him and unreasonably scored a three-pointer two steps away from the three-point line.

With a swish, I entered again!

That's right, this is Lin Xing this season. He has more three-pointers without any solution, which is no longer something that can be restricted by brainless defense.

The Jazz was originally defeated by Tian Ke, and Lin Xing broke out again, as if he had no chance at all.

The Warriors easily won the G1 in the Western Conference Finals.

Since then, G2, G3, G4, including G1, the Warriors have easily won four consecutive games.

If the plot is not different, for example, when Lin Xing slowed down, the Jazz once relied on defense and bit the score.

But Wilkins appeared in the second quarter, and cooperated with Lin Xing, who was out of the ball, and directly created a 17-7 climax, which opened the score gap in one wave.

For example, in G4, the Warriors can sweep the Jazz as long as they win.

At that time, the Jazz's goal had changed from biting off a piece of the Warriors' meat to refusing to sweep.

The momentum of both sides was more than one step away. Then, at the beginning, Lin Xing suddenly came a wave of Sam Gord, who had not been used for a long time.

He scored two points and three points at the beginning, and then two points. A solo performance with 12 points was defeated by the Jazz.

The Jazz, who had originally wanted to struggle, was broken at the beginning.

The 4-0 sweep made the whole United States widen their eyes and all their faces were shocked.

"The first round sweep was 3-0, the second round sweep was 4-0, and the Western Conference Finals was another 4-0 sweep!"

"The Warriors' current state is so terrifying. They are likely to set a record of 72 wins in the regular season and set another record of not losing in the playoffs!"

"Rule the regular season first, then dominate the playoffs?"

"Who else can stop them like this?"

At this moment, David Stern was happy, but a little unhappy.

The Warriors are getting closer and closer to the two consecutive championships, and Lin Xing's performance also makes Stern happy.

Danzi is old and will be retiring for another five or six years at most.

Therefore, the alliance needs a new facade and a new top card.

This is also the truth that Stern realized when Danzi first retired.

Now, Lin Xing's momentum is becoming more and more powerful, and a new facade and a new top brand have been established.

To be precise, after winning this year, Lin Xing will only have another championship and complete three consecutive championships, and he will be the new god of the NBA.

But Stern was a little unhappy, and it was the truth that Danzi had learned when he retired for the first time.

The eggs cannot be put in a basket. Before Danzi retired for the first time, he put all the eggs on Danzi.

As a result, as soon as Danzi retreated, no one in the NBA was concerned about it.

The same is true now. Lin Xing's momentum was too great. When it reached Stern, he saw the ending at a glance.

The key is that the Warriors' core lineup is too young.

"If the Warriors continue to develop like this, the NBA will be theirs for the next ten years, which is not OK!"

Stern knew very well how important a sports league's competitiveness is.

If the Warriors really dominate the NBA, it will be eighty-nine or even more than ten years at once.

Then the NBA will be over. There is no need to play games, and everyone knows the title.

What else can I watch in this league?

Stern squinted his eyes and thought about the solution, and he thought of the upcoming draft.

"Is that young man named Tim Duncan really a genius?"

Gu Yan

"Yes, Mr. President, industry insiders think that he will be the next dominant insider in the NBA."

"If, I mean, if, I want him to have a chance to touch the O'Brien Cup in his rookie season, where do you think he's better?"

"In the rookie season, I touched the O'Brien Cup?... (Long-term silence) Lotto teams, there may be only two choices."

“Or Philadelphia 76ers, AI partner Tim Duncan, one inside and one outside, is very interesting;

Or the San Antonio Spurs, Tim Duncan and David Robinson's double towers, dominant."

David Stern narrowed his eyes, and hesitated, and made up his mind.

...

The Warriors rushed out of the West with an 11-game winning streak.

However, the East is still in a melee. In the Eastern Conference Final, the Bulls have reached the sixth game with the Knicks, and they are about to have a tiebreaker.

The Warriors swept all the way, and just waited for the battle in the east to end, they waited for a lot of time.
To be continued...
