266 [Smoke-filled finals]
"In the world of basketball, I believe that God rewards those who work hard, and I believe that the brave have nothing to fear."
The day after leading the team to the Finals, Bayonet accepted an exclusive interview with ESPN at the Dallas Mavericks training facility.
When the beautiful host Ms. Odayna asked Bayonet what he wanted to say about the upcoming finals, Bayonet said very calmly.
But in fact, everyone could hear the domineering side of the bayonet's calm surface.
This surprised many fans who are accustomed to Bayonet's humble attitude before big games.
"It will be fun, I know it will be challenging, but that's what sports are like, you have to work hard to do something, work hard to achieve something."
Although the Eastern Conference finals have not yet come to an end, judging from the situation, the Toronto Raptors led by Kawhi Leonard are clearly gradually gaining the upper hand, and it seems that it is only a matter of time before they reach the finals.
Based on this situation, Odayna asked Bayonet what it would be like to meet her former teammate Kawhi Leonard in the next finals.
Bayonet's answer was also very interesting. He said it would be fun, and he believed that his Dallas Mavericks could have the last laugh.
People have to admit that the bayonet at this moment is really confident to the extreme.

"Cameron, how do you feel?"
Because the Eastern Conference Finals has not yet ended, all the Dallas Mavericks players have been preparing for the game in the training hall.
In the Dallas Mavericks training facility, when Jiang Hao saw Anthony walking over with a basketball in his arms, he also took the initiative to stop what he was doing.
He needs to know how Anthony is recovering from his injury.
"There is no problem. I feel good and can play in the finals."
Cameron Anthony gave Jiang Hao a reassuring answer.
Jiang Hao also breathed a sigh of relief. Whether Carmelo Anthony is healthy or not is crucial to the next finals.
Especially when the opponent in the finals is the Toronto Raptors.
It's not that Jiang Hao is unconfident, it's actually that the Toronto Raptors seem to be putting too much pressure on him.
Although the Toronto Raptors do not have as many star players as the Golden State Warriors, for a team, having a suitable lineup is often the most important thing.
Especially Kawhi Leonard.
If it's one-on-one, Jiang Hao doesn't think he can't handle Kawhi Leonard, at least he won't be at a disadvantage.
But basketball is a group sport.
Kawhi Leonard may not have as much offensive firepower as Kevin Durant, nor is he as versatile as LeBron James.
However, he has his own advantages.
Jiang Hao was once teammates with Kawhi Leonard in the Spurs.
In Jiang Hao's view, Kawhi Leonard's biggest advantage is stability.
Yes, it is stable. He is like an emotionless robot, working endlessly.
So far in this playoffs, Jiang Hao has met many star players. Whether it is Russell Westbrook, Stephen Curry, or Damian Lillard, none of them have the characteristics of Kawhi Leonard.
In Jiang Hao's view, the combination of Kawhi Leonard and the Toronto Raptors is obviously a win-win situation.
Kawhi Leonard is a superstar with both offense and defense, and the Toronto Raptors are a balanced offense and defense team.
This is the alien opponent the Dallas Mavericks and his bayonets least want to see.
However, having said that, Jiang Hao does not have no confidence in himself. Even without Carmelo Anthony, he is full of confidence.
However, Carmelo Anthony is a top player after all. He can stand up to share the pressure and even take key shots at critical moments, which will make Jiang Hao more confident.
In other words, with Carmelo Anthony here, Jiang Hao can go all out and devote himself unreservedly to both offense and defense.
This is also one of the winning points that Jiang Hao believes gives the Toronto Raptors a greater chance of winning.
"Man, it's the finals, are you feeling a little emotional?"
Jiang Hao patted Anthony on the shoulder. He knew that in Carmelo Anthony's career, this was the first time that he advanced to the finals.
For him, it is also the closest to the O'Brien Cup.
"To be honest, I'm a little worried, a little nervous, and even a little bit looking forward to it."
"Jiang, you know, in my career, I have never advanced to the finals. Before I joined the Dallas Mavericks, I once acquiesced in the fact that I would miss the championship throughout my career. I entered the league in 2003
Until now, I have to say that this has been a long journey and also a sad one.”
"The 2003 draft is recognized as the silver generation. LeBron James and I have been together since high school. Jiang, to be honest, except for the championship trophy, I don't feel that I am inferior to LeBron. Although LeBron and I have
We have a very good personal relationship. Although we are brothers, the feeling of being talked about is really..."
"So, Jiang, you know, since God has given me such an opportunity, there is no reason why I won't go all out. I want to enter the Hall of Fame in the future like LeBron James and Dwyane Wade. So if I get
This championship is very important to me.”
Jiang Hao can understand Carmelo Anthony's sincere feelings at this moment.
After all, whether it is the 2003 Silver Generation or the two unparalleled prides of the past, Anthony's team has been burdened with huge psychological pressure until now.
As he said himself, only by winning the O'Brien Cup will he have a chance to enter the Hall of Fame.
After all, he is not Tracy McGrady, having an unprecedented "Tracy McGrady moment" that has never been seen before or since.
He is not the little giant from the East, Yao Ming, who has made incredible contributions to the popularity of NBA in China.
Just relying on the hard honor of scoring champion cannot get him the recognition of the Hall of Fame, but if there is an O'Brien Trophy, everything will be different.
………
Two days later, the Eastern Conference Finals came to an end.
4:2!
The team that advanced to the finals was the Toronto Raptors.
Kawhi Leonard averaged 35 points per game in the Eastern Conference Finals, almost beating the Greek Antetokounmpo.
Dallas Mavericks vs Toronto Raptors!
The finals showdown that people are most looking forward to will finally take place.
One is the unyielding overlord of the east, and the other is the new king of the west with a formidable military force.
Although the duel between these two teams has not yet begun, everyone can feel the smoke of war approaching.
"This may be the most exciting finals after the Hukai battle in 2009."
"Although judging from the regular season record and playoff record, the Dallas Mavericks seem to be the more powerful team, the Toronto Raptors are definitely a qualified opponent. They showed absolute strength in the playoffs.
