This year's Finals have been extremely tough for both players, the friction between James and Green has made this series full of strong gunpowder, and what is more thrilling than the muscle collision on the field is the ups and downs of the process, when the Warriors lead 3-1, almost the world thinks that they will defend the title successfully, adding the most perfect championship footnote in front of the unprecedented 73 wins. But when James and Irving worked together to lead the Cavaliers to turn things around after seven games, the forgetful people had already forgotten those who had insulted LeBron, only remembering that he won the championship again, he was the king who stood on the top of the world, he was a king and a loser since ancient times, and no matter how smooth the process was, it was not as good as the person who could finally glorify the peak and wear a crown.
On the road to success, everyone will encounter a lot of opponents and unpredictable difficulties, the strength of these roadblocks is strong or weak, sometimes you can prove that your strength is strong, but when you fail, no one will feel that you are unlucky, except for your supporters, no one will feel that you are not strong enough, your fire has not yet arrived, this is something that the loser must experience, so it needs to be sharpened.
The phrase used to be used on James, the "little emperor" who had never been able to beat the Celtics in the East, but when he left the Cavaliers and decided to join the Heat to play with his good brothers Wade and Bosh, the core of all these questions became whether he could finally win the championship, and people expected to see a superhero like Jordan who could do everything and save the world on his own.
But James's way goes against people's wishes, even if he chooses to be more efficient, it is also a reasonable choice as a player to play on a stronger team, but he is still criticized like a wild wind and waves, because he is the most talented person in basketball in this era, people say that he is cowardly, easy to take shortcuts, and Jordan, Kobe Bryant, such tenacious, paranoid competitors are too far away, the same situation also appeared in the two years when he returned to the Cavaliers and tried to lead his hometown team to win the championship. But both times the ending was the same, all the doubts and disdains were shattered when he won the championship, people no longer mention the means he had used, the mental state of fear of challenge, the finals without warning only scored 8 points in a single game, only remembering that he was the champion of this year and won a few rings.
The same situation also happened to Kevin Duran, the league's four-time scoring champion, MVP level player, after so many years of hard work in the Thunder, he singled out the beam, and "Westbrook" two people played a shocking double performance, in Harden's "three less" period, they also once reached the Finals, this year under Donovan's attack and defense at both ends of the performance of the Thunder team has also forced the Warriors into a dead corner, but the final end is a failure, nine years, KD won all the personal honors he could get, but the aura without the championship trophy would only look even more bleak, so he finally made the decision to leave.
Leaving the Thunder with mixed feelings, he chose to join the Golden State Warriors, who won 73 wins in the regular season last year and once beat themselves, where he will play side by side with MVP winner Steven Curry and "Mr. 37 Points in the Quarter" Thompson and offensive and defensive toughster Drummond Green, after the transformation of the best coach Kerr, there is an incomparably harmonious team atmosphere here, they can make Durant play more easily on the court, this team is last year's championship, This year's Western Conference champions, it looks like they're a stone's throw away from victory, with hope of getting closer to the championship trophy than any other team.
Durant is well aware of the turmoil his decision has caused to the entire league, what it means for Oklahoma City fans who love him, for his family friends, for his good brother Westbrook, he will no longer play for the Thunder next season, choosing to join the Warriors on a two-year, $54.3 million contract, and a new challenge in the new team, the golden championship trophy, KD really wants it this time.
