The NBA playoffs are coming to an end, and the Dallas Mavericks and Boston Celtics are successfully meeting in the Finals. This is the Mavericks' return to the Finals after 13 years, this is the first time the Green Army has returned to the Finals after 2 years, and this is also the first time that the two Eastern and Western giants have met in the Finals. The big war is imminent, but the probability of winning the championship updated by the well-known American media BBR is very different: the Green Army is as high as 91.3%, and the Mavericks are only 8.7%. But then again, even if the Green Army occupies the "right time, place and people" to win the championship, the Mavericks are also very champions in the western pass, and it is really not that simple to kill the deer!

First of all, we have to admit that the Green Army is strong, and during the regular season, the Green Army achieved an impressive record of 64 wins and 18 losses, far ahead of the league! In the playoffs, even though the team's starting center Boshen only played three and a half games due to injury, and even though the team's star Tatum Lang shot the lowest three-point shooting rate (29%) in his playoff career, the Green Army still swept the East with a devastating momentum and easily advanced to the Finals with a 12-2 record - the Gentlemen swept the Heat 4-1 in the first round, the Cavaliers 4-1 in the second round, and the Pacers 4-0 in the Eastern Conference finals. The Green Army had a smooth ride, showing terrifying squad depth and balance of offense and defense, with a number of offensive and defensive stats ranking among the top in the league.

Among them, the number of three-point shots (14.6), plus/minus (+10.1), defensive rebounds (33.8), and true shooting percentage (60%) all rank first in the league; Offensive efficiency (119.6) and points per game (111.4) ranked second in the league, and average points conceded (101.3), shooting percentage (48%) and defensive efficiency (108.7) ranked third in the league! It is worth mentioning that Tatum and Brown have played together in a total of 102 playoff games, ranking fifth among the duo without winning a championship in NBA history, behind Miller + Davis (105), Ewing + Oakley (106), West + Baylor (110) and Stockton + Malone (172). In the words of the fans, the Green Army is armed to the teeth, and if it does not win the championship, it is a failure! Even Tatum admitted: This return to the Finals is not the same as two years ago, you will not always have a second chance! The implication: the opportunity will not come again, and the Green Army will finish its work this season!

But we can't deny the fact that it is no accident that the Mavericks have risen strongly in the West as a super dark horse, and they have the courage to go black to the end in the West, and they also have the determination to continue to be black. It's not so much that the Mavericks are the big dark horses in the West, it's better to say that they're grossly underrated. As the Mavericks have undergone a mid-season roster reshuffle, the regular season record and ranking do not represent their true strength! According to one statistic, since February 6, the Mavericks have a 36-14 record, ranking second in the league, and the first place is the Green Army (38-8). In the playoffs, the strength of the Mavericks is obvious to all!

In the first round, facing the Clippers, who had a 51-31 record in the regular season, the Mavericks completed the following 4-2; In the second round, facing the 57-25 Western Conference hegemon Thunder, the Mavericks once again completed the following gram 4-2; Facing the 56-26 upstart Timberwolves in the West, the Mavericks completed a gentleman's sweep 4-1! According to statistics, the Mavericks are the first team since the Lakers in 2010 to defeat 50+ winning teams in the first three rounds to successfully reach the Finals; As a comparison, the opponents defeated by the Green Army in the first three rounds of this year's playoffs were 46 (Heat), 48 (Cavaliers) and 47 wins (Pacers), and the opponents were far inferior to the Mavericks! In this process, the Mavericks showed the roster reserves, superstar quality and coaching staff level to the fullest!

On the one hand, Washington, Jones, Gafford and Lively are all brave and brave in the absence of playoff experience, brave to take responsibility, and have a super ability to seize opportunities. Take Lively as an example, after the Western Conference Finals series, Lively made all 16 shots, contributing an average of 9.5 points + 7.8 rebounds + 2.5 assists + 1.5 blocks per game, and there is no second rookie who is so fragrant in NBA history. On the other hand, Kidd, a champion defender, is seriously underrated. In the case of West Duel, he can also develop a new Hadi-like soldier, and every card is played reasonably! What's more, the Mavericks have the most trusted backcourt double guns in the league and even NBA history!

So far in the playoffs, Doncic has ranked No. 1 in the league in total points (489 points), total rebounds (164), total assists (150), total steals (28), total free throws (100), total shots (166) and total three-point shots (57). This is Doncic, who has a strong ability to ensure the team's lower limit, and Irving is also willing to be a green leaf, playing the role of the king of the end and Mr. Key well, and using his strength to raise the team's ceiling! According to statistics, so far in the playoffs, Irving's total points in the final quarter have reached 127, ranking first in the league, beating Doncic and Brunson (111 points).

This is the opponent of the Green Army in the finals, and it is not easy! Many people may say that the Green Army has swept the Mavericks in the regular season for two consecutive seasons; There are still many people who may say that Irving has suffered 10 consecutive defeats against his former club, the Green Army; But what I want to say is that Shibei should be impressed in the third day, and today's Mavericks are no longer the partial team with strong offense and weak defense in the past, but a real hero with balanced offense and defense; Today's Owen is no longer the maverick problem youth he used to be, but an old artist on the court who is becoming more and more mature! In the words of fans, the Mavericks have the infinite possibilities of winning the championship with the Eastern European combination! For the Green Army, whether they can win the championship is not whether Boshen can come back or how he is in condition after his comeback, nor is it whether the best defensive backcourt of White + Holiday can strangle the Eastern European combination, the key is to see if they can open a superstar version of the declaration in front of the Eastern European combination! Fans, what do you think about this? Leave me a comment to discuss.
