Chapter 938 The Arrival of the Finals

Here the Raptors have won the Eastern Conference championship, while the Warriors and Rockets on the other side are still fighting fiercely.After counting the sweep of the Celtics, the Raptors have swept 3 rounds of the playoffs this season, and also ushered in 12 consecutive victories.If you count the 16 consecutive victories in the playoffs last season, they have won 28 consecutive victories in the playoffs...

——What kind of concept is this!
The existence of Ying Xiong minimizes the probability of the Raptors losing. He is neither a pure shooter nor a pure organizer. He is a superstar who can switch back and forth between killer and controller at any time.

On May 5, the NBA officially announced the final list of the best defensive team this season.Rudy Gobert of the Utah Jazz, Anthony Davis and Jrue Holiday of the New Orleans Pelicans, Robert Covington of the Philadelphia 24ers and Ying Xiong of the Toronto Raptors were named to the All-Defensive First Team.

This is Yingxiong's seventh consecutive season selected to the league's All-Defensive Team, and his sixth consecutive season to be selected to the All-Defensive First Team.

For a person of yellow race, this honor is very proud.It is also because of his outstanding performance that the league has gradually changed the stereotype of yellow people with poor defense.

On May 5, the NBA officially announced the final list of the best team of the season.James Harden of the Rockets, LeBron James of the Cavaliers, Anthony Davis of the Pelicans, Kevin Durant of the Warriors and Ying Xiong of the Toronto Raptors were selected for the final selection.

This is the seventh consecutive season that Yingxiong has been selected as the first team of the best team. He and Pelicans' thick eyebrows have become the only two players in the league who have been selected for the first defense and the first team at the same time this season.

The best team is a huge honor for most players in the league, but for the hero, this honor is just the tip of the iceberg in his hall of honor.He is too good, the best team can only add bricks and tiles to his hall of honor.

The Warriors and Rockets played very anxiously in this round of the series, and it can even be described as tragic.The two teams finally reached a 3:3 tie, thus entering the tie-break.

For the Rockets, the tiebreaker was played at the Toyota Center, which gave them some home-court advantage.But what is extremely detrimental to them is that Chris Paul, one of their backcourt cores, will miss this crucial tiebreaker.

The Raptors are waiting for the opponents in the finals.They have absolute self-confidence, no matter the opponent is the Warriors or the Rockets, they must be the ones who win the championship.

On May 5, the Warriors defeated the Rockets in an away game to enter the finals.They will meet the Raptors in the finals for the fourth consecutive year. They have lost to their opponents in the previous three times.In the finals of last season, they were swept by their opponents.

This season, the Warriors naturally hope to use a championship to wash away the shame of being swept last season.

June 6, at the Air Canada Center in Toronto.Finals G1 will be held here, and it has been the venue for the finals for the 1th consecutive time. In the previous 6 times, the home team of this venue had the last laugh.

The Raptors and Warriors each kept their home courts in the two regular season games this season.Of course, the regular season matchups don't have much reference value, and the playoffs are a completely different game.

The two teams are too familiar, there is no need for any pre-match mobilization, players who analyze the opponent's lineup too much before the game, etc.Everyone knows what the opponent's strengths are, what they are good at, and what they don't like.

The Air Canada Center arena is very lively, and the fans of the home team want to see the team they support win the final championship, thus creating a terrifying 6 consecutive championships!If three consecutive championships are considered a dynasty, then what will six consecutive championships be called?Double Dynasty?King of Kings?
In this game, the starting lineup of the Raptors at home is: center - Serge Ibaka, power forward - Pascal Siakam, small forward - DeMar DeRozan, shooting guard - Ying Xiong, point guard - Jeremy Lin.

The starting lineup of the Warriors in the away game is: center - Kevon Rooney, power forward - Draymond Green, small forward - Kevin Durant, shooting guard - Klay Thompson, point guard - Stephen Curry.

The game was explained by Mike Breen and Jeff Van Gundy.

"Jeff, at this time of year, although I am very excited to be able to go to the scene to explain, but I am also somewhat sad. After all, if the finals are over, this season will be completely over!" Mike Breen said.

"Why are you so sad! The season is going to end after all! If it doesn't end, how will the new season come?" Jeff Van Gundy laughed.

"If you say that, it seems to be too!" Mike Brin laughed.

Under the arrangement of Li Jianwu, both Sun Jing and Shao Ziqiang came to the Air Canada Center to watch the game live.This time not only the three of them came, Ying Xiong and their high school classmate Song Bingning also dragged Li Jianwu to bring her here.

The expressions and mentality of the Raptors players are very relaxed. For the Warriors, they are not afraid. Although the opponent has the Splash Brothers and Durant, but Durant was there last season, they still did not sweep the opponent 4:0 Yet?

What's so great about you having Durant, we have Yingxiong!

Ibaka and Rooney near the center circle prepare for the jump ball, and the game is about to start.

Ibaka and Rudy took off almost at the same time, but it was Ibaka who grabbed the landing point first, gave the ball to DeRozan, and the game officially started.

Jeremy Lin slowly dribbled the ball across half court.

Yingxiong moves up the frontcourt, defending him is Klay Thompson, one of the Splash Brothers of the Warriors.

Klay Thompson can be said to be one of the best shooters in the entire NBA. The difference between him and those sharp shooters is that he also has a top defense.

Clay clings to Ying Xiong very tightly, preventing him from catching the ball.

Jeremy Lin gave the ball to DeRozan, and it was Durant who defended DeRozan.

With the help of a screen, DeRozan took the ball to the left, attracted the attention of the opponent's defense, and then scored a high Ibaka.

Ibaka handed the ball to Ying Xiong, and then set him a positioning screen.

Ying Xiong took the ball and walked to the right, and the Warriors' attack immediately came up.

Ying Xiong unhurriedly passed the ball to Ibaka who was going down the line, and the latter easily scored 2 points with a hook!
"The Golden State Warriors came up and responded with a pinch, really resolute!" Mike Breen laughed.

"But obviously, Toronto is prepared. You can see that Sergi's reaction when Ying was flanked just now may be expressionless, but Sergi is obviously not surprised by all this. If they are not prepared to run decisively, I will not believe it!" Jeff Van Gundy said.
