So far in this playoffs, the Dallas Mavericks feel like they are invincible. After all, they have not lost a single game in the entire playoffs.

As for the Toronto Raptors, although they were not sure of victory in the playoffs, they showed their overwhelming strength and even reached a tiebreaker with the Philadelphia 76ers in the semifinals.

However, everyone can see that as the game schedule progresses, the Toronto Raptors' overall strength is significantly improving, and their state is getting hotter step by step.

And Kawhi Leonard, the team they are proud of, seems to be beginning to fully unleash his abilities.

Everyone knows that Kawhi Leonard is a guy who can take it to the next level in the playoffs.

Under this circumstance, once they reach the finals, Kawhi Leonard and the Toronto Raptors will definitely be able to burst out with even more terrifying energy, and will certainly pose a real threat to the Dallas Mavericks.

"We still don't know whether Carmelon Anthony can return, but what we also want to say is that Carmelon Anthony's health will have a great impact on the Dallas Mavericks' journey to the Finals."

The slogan and core topic of NBA mainstream media these two days is obviously the finals.

In the opinion of most media, the Dallas Mavericks have a 6-point winning rate to win the finals, which is slightly higher than the Toronto Raptors' winning rate.

But there is a prerequisite here, that is, Carmelo Anthony must be able to make a smooth comeback.

Otherwise, this winning rate may be reversed.

After all, in everyone's opinion, the leaders of the two teams will definitely be in a state of mutual explosion. Showdowns between superstars are always like this, and no one can completely defeat the other.

In this case, if Carmelon Anthony can come back, he will definitely bring a huge impact to the Toronto Raptors' defense. This is the biggest victory for the Dallas Mavericks.

"Both of them are true superstars, both are among the top players in the league, both are excellent leaders, both can take over the game at critical moments, and the Toronto Raptors and Dallas Mavericks are also the top teams in the league.

It can be said that they can advance to the finals, which is worthy of their name.”

"But if I had to make a prediction about this series, relatively speaking, I would be more optimistic about the Dallas Mavericks. Of course, I can't give a reason. I can only say that this is my intuition."

Gregg Popovich, who once coached the Bayonet and Kawhi Leonard, has officially announced his retirement before the start of this season.

But obviously, he has been paying attention to the NBA.

No, just in the past two days, Gregg Popovich was asked by the host on a talk show about the finals.

The host asked him which team he was more optimistic about winning the championship.

Gregg Popovich obviously has the right to speak on this issue. He spoke highly of his two former disciples and also affirmed the two teams that advanced to the finals.

However, when he finally made his prediction, he did not do Tai Chi and say 50-50 as many people expected, but unexpectedly said that he was more optimistic about the Dallas Mavericks.

Of course, he also said at the same time that he could not explain the reason and could only say it was intuition.

This surprised many people.

"There is no doubt that both of them are excellent children. Of course I am very proud, but I am also a little sad."

The host was surprised as to what Greg Popovich meant when he said regret at the end.

"In fact, I thought the two of them were the best gift I could leave to the San Antonio Spurs. The San Antonio Spurs won the championship last season, and everything looked great. In the eyes of many people, the San Antonio Spurs should be the best this season.

We must continue to compete for the championship, because Kawhi and Bayonet both have unlimited potential, but what happened later told everyone that it was a pity."

"Of course, as I said when I left, I understand the decision they both made and I don't blame them."

Gregg Popovich has finally spoken out about one of his biggest regrets, which is not seeing Bayonet and Kawhi Leonard successfully stay with the Spurs when he left.

"No, I'm old and I should leave opportunities to young people. In fact, the San Antonio Spurs have had a great team for so many years. I always believe that they will return to the top as quickly as possible.

List"

………

Jiang Hao happened to watch the interview video with Gregg Popovich, and he was a little surprised that the old man would be more optimistic about him.

But if you think about it, it's not difficult to understand. After all, last season, he really shocked the old man more than Kawhi Leonard.

When he saw the old man expressing his regrets, Jiang Hao could only spread his hands. Frankly speaking, he had planned to stay with the San Antonio Spurs, but something uncontrollable happened during the negotiations.

As Popovich himself said, sometimes professional players actually have many issues to consider when making decisions.

Of course, Jiang Hao also agrees with Popovich's final remarks, that is, he also believes that the San Antonio Spurs will repeat their peak as quickly as possible. They have a great team, and they also have the foundation of a strong team.

The trough will make them return to the top stronger.

Although the San Antonio Spurs unfortunately did not advance to the playoffs this season, they broke their record of qualifying for the playoffs for many years.

But from Jiang Hao's point of view, this is not entirely a bad thing. This season is just an adjustment.

………

In the video room of the Dallas Mavericks training facility, accompanied by head coach Rick Carlisle, Jiang Hao began to watch the video of several important games of the Toronto Raptors this season.

For Jiang Hao, he still understands the principle of knowing yourself and your enemy and winning every battle.

Among them, he will pay special attention to Kawhi Leonard's game videos.

Although they were teammates once, and he had some understanding of Kawhi Leonard's style of play, that was already a year ago. People always change, just like himself, and he changed this season.

too much.

Kawhi Leonard may be the strongest opponent he has faced so far in this playoffs, and he is also a true superstar.

In this case, he must understand some of Kawhi Leonard's playing styles.

"Jiang, we can make a fuss about Kawhi Leonard's ball-handling offense. Obviously, compared with top strikers like Kevin Durant and LeBron James, Kawhi Leonard's persistence
