2022: The Warriors Return, Curry s Fourth Champion

2021-22 season, Vientiane's new season season:

Jokic won the regular season MVP again, Trae Young became the regular season total scorer and total assists king, Embiid became the first center scoring king since the Sharks. No player in the first team of the year was over 27 years old. The young Morant led the Grizzlies to rise, the young Doncic defeated Paul's Suns to the Western Conference Finals, and the young doubles led the Celtics to the finals.

However, the last king was Stephen Curry, the 34-year-old king, and his Golden State Warriors.

This year, Curry was crowned the three-pointer in regular season history that should have belonged to him, bringing the Warriors from the trough to the peak for the second time in ten years, winning the third championship in six years, the fourth championship in eight years, and his first MVP in the finals. He created the era of three-point space with a unique shooting in basketball history, and then used this championship to prove that he is the creator and definer of the space era.

In early summer of 2021, the Warriors lost to the Grizzlies and missed the playoffs; 33-year-old scoring champion Curry put down his bold words, "No one will want to meet us next year!"

The 2021-22 season began, as he said. The Warriors started with four consecutive victories, and Curry scored 45 points with 8 three-pointers against the Clippers.

In the fifth game, the Warriors encountered the Memphis Grizzlies, the enemy of last season. The second quarter led to 19 points at the first minute; but the Grizzlies were led by 2019 second defender Ja Morant and fought tenaciously.

Morant has an amazing speed, and has a Derek Ross-level start and emergency stop, an incredible reflex nerve and balance, and can adapt to various situations in breakthroughs. In comparison, the Warriors' high-profile young defender Jordan Poole is an excellent fast gunner, but not stable enough. Curry led the team to widen the gap in the third quarter, but Morant dragged the game into overtime. In the last minute of overtime, the Warriors' 2014 No. 1 pick Andrew Wiggins followed Morant with perfect height and arm length balance, but Morant used a breakthrough stop to turn around and shot his 30th point in the game to secure the victory. Curry scored 36 points in this game, but the Grizzlies won.

The Warriors and the Grizzlies will see each other again in the playoffs. But the Warriors were not affected by this defeat. They then beat the Thunder 21 points, beat the Hornets 22 points, beat the Pelicans 41 points, and against the Atlanta Hawks, Curry scored 50 points and 10 assists, and scored 9 three-pointers.

After a six-game winning streak, the Warriors met the Chicago Bulls who led the East with 8 wins and 3 losses at the time. The Bulls were led by Coach Billy Donovan in the season, and the mid-range shot master Demar DeRozan became the team's first single-hander, dunk king Zach Laven focuses on pick-and-roll, and the team also has two top perimeter defenders in the league, Lonzo Ball and Caruso. The Bulls once led 31 to 23, but coach Donovan insisted on Big Ball or Caruso defended Curry alone. So Curry took over the game. Curry scored a long shot in the third quarter and Caruso had no choice but to spread his hands. Coach Donovan was forced to switch to defense against Curry, which was too late. The Warriors defeated the Bulls 119 to 93 and continued to lead the league. Curry scored 40 points with 9 three-pointers. 46 points of the Warriors' 119 points were blocked by cover, and the team scored 27 assists, demonstrating that they are the first NBA team to cut.

Four days later, the Warriors encountered Brooklyn Net, and Curry met Durant, Harden and Irving again. It was also Coach Cole who met Coach Nash, the Sun's old colleague, and it was a dream that Green was jealous of Durant's enemies. In this game, the Warriors used Wiggins to defend Harden and pursued their dreams to tangle Durant. This is the basic configuration of the Warriors that season: Wiggins faces the ball player, chasing dreams and entangling the front line.

Net only used unlimited defense replacements throughout the game, so Coach Cole used forwards Porter Jr. and Wiggins, defenders Poole and Iguodala to cut in in turn. The Warriors relied on cutting in inwards throughout the game and scored 52 points in the penalty area. Curry used the ball to force him out and replaced the defense and made 9 three-pointers, making 37 points in the game. Durant made 6 of 11 shots in the first half, but Coach Cole used a three-man inside defense against Durant and a cross-fire attack to paralyze the Nets' offense. Harden said after the game, "We switched defenses unlimitedly today, but we are not used to it... we haven't practiced much..."

In the previous season, Curry brought the rebuilt Warriors to the Internet and lost a total of 43 points. In this game, the Warriors won 117-99. Coach Cole defeated the Nets with his changeable defense, collective cut in the second quarter, push and counterattack in the third quarter, and Curry's 37 points. This is the result of Curry's efforts a year ago: the Warriors were brought up by him.

Two days later, the Warriors defeated the Cavaliers 104-89, with a 13-2 loss at the beginning of the season. Curry once again made 9 three-pointers, scored 40 points, and scored 20 points in a single quarter in his 36th career. The Warriors scored 36 points with 25 shots in the fourth quarter, 14 three-pointers and 11 baskets, and Curry's restraint led to the introductory trend of the whole team. The Warriors' team has 36 assists - including 14 assists from Dream Chasing Green. Coach Cole said after the game, "As long as Stephen is present, you will always have a chance." Tuscano Anderson said: "It's like you fight on the street, and then you happen to have Tyson around you. Curry makes everything easier and fun, and playing with him is really enjoyable."

Curry scored 40 points in the fourth game of the first 15 regular season games. But from then on to the end of the season, he only scored three more 40 games - including 46 points in revenge against the Memphis Grizzlies. Perhaps because the team has taken shape, he no longer needs to be the scoring champion as he did last season. Especially on January 9, 2022, 941 days later, Clay Thompson returned to the Warriors' camp.

The big news about Curry this year is still on December 15, 2021, when the Warriors vs. Knicks, Curry made 2,974 three-pointers in his 789th game of his career, surpassing Lei Allen to be crowned the NBA history three-point champion.

But for Curry, it wasn't even a great honor.

Season 1979-80, the NBA began to use three-pointers. Mr. Jerry Colangro believed that "this won't change basketball." Mr. Holzman, the old godfather of New York basketball, saw the spatial significance of three-pointers. "The defense must be honest now, and the big insiders will feel comfortable." In the 1980s, three-pointers were not popular. Coach Hubby Brown said that the coach at that time did not allow the team's non-shots to shoot three-pointers randomly. In the 1985-87 season, Larry Bird scored the most three-pointers in the NBA: 82 and 90 respectively in a single season.

Season 1992-93, NBA team made 3 of 9 three-pointers per 100 possessions.

Season 1993-94, Suns scorer Marley scored 192 three-pointers in a single season and led the NBA league first. That season, Big Dream, Ewing, Robinson and Sharks four centers accounted for four of the top five in the NBA regular season scoring list. Big Dream won the regular season MVP and eventually defeated Ewing to win the championship. From then on, the "Super Star + Shooter" mode began to be popular in the NBA.

2005-06 season, Ray Allen scored 269 three-pointers, which was the record of the single season at that time.

Then Curry appears.

2012-13 season, Curry scored 272 three-pointers in a single season, breaking Ray Allen's record.

Three years later, 402 three-pointers were made in a single season, a historical record.

In 2015, Curry won the regular season MVP, and scored 98 three-pointers in the playoffs, breaking Miller's record of 58 in 2000 and leading the team to win the championship. From then on, everyone believes that you can win the championship with three-pointers.

Since the Warriors won the 2014-15 season, the NBA's three-point shooting per 100 rounds soared from 24 to 40 in 2022. Curry's crown of the three-pointer is not a big deal in comparison: he opened up all prejudice against jump shots, opened up the era of space, and opened up the era of the most unrestrained NBA offense.

But the hot topics in the western part of the 2021-22 season belong to the other side.

The Denver Nuggets in the 2021-22 season have no backcourt ace Jamal Murray and no first shooter Porter Jr. Only last regular season MVP Jokic was the only one.

So throughout the season, Jokic averaged 27.1 points per game, second in the league in 74 games, and averaged 13.8 rebounds and 7.9 assists per game. He scored 19 triple-doubles, including 49 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists against the Clippers, and 46 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists against the Pelicans. He is the 2021-22 season. The Nuggets' scoring, rebounding, assisting, stealing, blocking, free throwing, shooting, shooting, and hitting percentage, so he naturally won the regular season MVP.

But he is so outstanding, he made 8 mistakes against the Phoenix Suns at home on March 24, 2022.

This season, the Phoenix Suns won 18 consecutive victories after 1 win and 3 losses. The 2021 finals trip lost, but this journey seemed to have smoothly run-in. The battle against the Nuggets on March 24, Paul's clever planning, Ayton's harassment of Jokic, Claude and Bridges' rotation, Booker's 49 points, 10 assists and 3 steals, all impressed Denver Nuggets fans: they even sang MVP hymns to Booker. After the game, Coach Mike Malone of the Nuggets said: "To defeat the current Suns, you need to play almost perfectly." The Phoenix Suns, such a perfect Phoenix Sun, ended the regular season with 64 wins and 18 losses. In the first round of the playoffs, the Pelicans, who won 36 points in the regular season, played unexpectedly difficult: after relying on Paul's 30 points to score 1-0, the Pelicans' Ingram's classical mid-range shot technique made the Suns embarrassed: he scored 37 points, 34 points and 30 points in the second, third and fourth games, respectively, allowing the Pelicans and the Suns to play 2-2. In the fifth game, the Suns relied on Bridges' weak side attack to win. In the sixth game, Paul scored a record 14-for-14 shots and 33 points: as the best mid-range pitcher in the history of the city in New Orleans, ended the New Orleans Pelicans.

After the game, when coach Green of the Pelicans praised the enthusiastic efforts of the Pelicans young man, he smiled and said, "Don't remind me specifically how outstanding Paul's performance today" because he had already been a teammate with Paul in the Pelicans in the 2010-11 season.

But the Suns have shown weaknesses in this round of the series:

The Pelicans can control Paul and Booker by shorting Claude and killing Paul and Ayton's connection.

In the Western Conference semi-finals, the Suns encountered the Dallas Mavericks and quickly led 2-0. Even though the Mavericks' genius Luka Doncic combined 80 points in two games, the Suns saw through Dallas' defense: the whole team quickly transferred the ball, strangled the Mavericks' inside line, and forced Doncic to take over alone. After winning the second game, Paul said:

"You have to work hard, everything is attributed to hard work. You have to do strength training, you have to maintain shape, you have to lift iron, you have to rest, you have to hit the ball. After doing all this, accept the result."

However, the Mavericks changed their moves in the third game.

The Mavericks have made great changes this year. They gave up the 221 cm giant Poggins, and the starting lineups were 188 cm Brunson, 201 cm Doncic, 201 cm Smith, 198 cm Brock and 208 cm Powell, focusing on swing and flexibility. Their defense is mixed with a lot of defense swaps, pinch attacks and weak side rotations, while the offensive end relies on the double-held ball attacks of Doncic and Brunson.

returned to Dallas in the third game, defender Brunson broke through 26 times with the ball and scored 28 points in the whole game. Doncic scored 26 points, and kept chasing Paul's defense replacement. On the defensive end, the Mavericks used Brock to stick with Paul all over the game, imitating the Bucks' practice of using Holiday to pester Paul last season, forcing Paul to make 7 mistakes in the first half. The Mavericks chased 1-2 103-94, and won the fourth game 111-101, catching up to 2-2.

In the first half of the fourth game, Paul missed the throw and fought for the frontcourt rebound, bumped into Doncic, and Doncic fell to the ground and was about to make a fourth foul at the halftime.. After

Paul and Doncic answered, and Paul asked: Am I pushing you so ruthlessly? Doncic replied: Not that ruthless. But this trick is quite smart, right? Paul smiled: Yes, I know. The two acting masters looked at each other and smiled.

Coach Kidd of the Mavericks also made fun of it: "The opponent has one of the best point guards in history to teach us, it's cool."

The Suns won 30 points in the fifth game 111-80, leading 3-2, but the Mavericks won 113-86 in the sixth game and chased 3-3.

At this point, both sides knew each other well: the Mavericks used their signature attacks on the ball and crossed the weak side to take away Paul's instigation; the Sun used the switch to cut the Mavericks' shooter group.

The seventh game started, the Suns fought again, and the Mavericks launched a pincer attack. Doncic's single-handed challenge was unstoppable, and the Suns were shot 1 of 11 shots. When the first half was over, Doncic scored 27 points and Dinwiddie scored 21 points - the two of them had a total of 48 points. Their turnovers destroyed the Suns' defense. The Suns' offense was completely extinguished, with only 27 points in the first half.

In the end, the Mavericks won 123-90, and Doncic scored 35 points. The Suns led 2-0 for the second consecutive year, and were reversed after being restricted by the opponent. Luca Doncic led the team to eliminate the regular season top Suns and went to the 2022 Western Conference Finals, which was a big upset.

The one who awaits Doncic in the Western Conference Finals was Curry and his Warriors.

Previously, Jokic won the regular season MVP for the first round of the playoffs, but in the first round of the playoffs, his Nuggets, who did not have Murray and Porter, was eliminated 4-1 by the Warriors.

The Warriors were regaining their energy in the regular season, and even so luxurious that Curry, who was recovering from injury, came on the bench and still led the Nuggets 3-0. Jokic scored 37 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists in the fourth game to win a goal.

The Warriors let Curry start, and the No. 5 position of Dream Green is the fifth team for the Death Five. In the third quarter, the Nuggets once led 66 to 56. Curry made three three-pointers, and the Nuggets were forced to attack Curry, so the Warriors' defensive player Payton Jr. took the opportunity to show his power: Curry and Jokic each scored 30 points, while Payton Jr. scored the second-place 15 points in the team, and the Warriors won.

This is Curry's 34th game in the playoffs and 30 points - in these 34 games, the Warriors won 29 wins.

Post-match Dream Chasing Green believes that the Warriors' style of playing is that everyone performs their own duties, and Curry provides everything the team needs to win; at the same time, he praised Jokic: "The incredible talent, no one scores, can see the overall situation like LeBron and pass the ball like Paul." He said he was honored to be able to play against Jokic, saying that Jokic had incredible talents. It is a great honor and joy to say that you can play with someone with such talent and skill. He also said, "Often people with such talent and skills will play a little soft, but you know, Jokic has nothing to do with softness at all. He is such an incredible good player."

A year later, Jokic will prove that this praise of chasing dreams is correct. In the Western Conference semifinals, the Warriors met last year's enemy, the Memphis Grizzlies. After a turbulent battle, the Warriors led 1-0.

The Grizzlies in 2022 were quick and fierce, stealing and blocking the league first, relying on one-sided clamping defense and Morant Storm counterattack to play. In the first game, Coach Cole directly joined Curry, Clay, Payton, Wiggins and Zhu Meng's super small lineup, but Zhu Meng made a bad foul before the end of the half, and was sent off. Coach Cole replaced Poole and Looney in the third quarter. Curry scored three consecutive goals and stopped the Grizzlies. In the fourth quarter, Curry received his fifth foul, but at this time he started a duel with Morant: Morant scored his 26th goal from Payton's head, Curry also had a three-pointer; Morant also had two counterattacks and one three-pointer, and Curry gave consecutive assists. In the last moment, Curry personally blocked Morant. Clay missed two free throws, but the Warriors defended Morant again: the Warriors 117-116.

The Grizzlies won the second game, but the Warriors immediately started with the young Kumingga in the third game, and Porter Jr. started with the third quarter, speeding up the team, scoring the second highest 142 points in the team's history, and getting a 2-1 lead: the Warriors chose to use the switch to combine defense and take away Morant's pass. Morant himself scored 34 points, but the team only had 21 assists; Curry scored 30 points, and the Warriors scored 34 assists.

After this game, Morant missed the remaining playoffs due to injury. The Warriors eliminated the Grizzlies 4-2 in the last three games.

In this Western Conference Finals, the Golden State Warriors play against the Dallas Mavericks.

The Warriors won the first game 112-87. Coach Kidd said after the game that the Warriors used box-1 and joint defense against Doncic, plus Vikins' pressure. At the same time, the Warriors repeatedly used long diagonal passes to attack the ball holder, empty the weak side, and forced out the Mavericks, and then fiercely rotated the game. In the second half, Curry and Zhui Meng copied the ball in a row, causing Doncic to make 4 mistakes in a single quarter and 7 mistakes in the whole game. The Mavericks put pressure on Curry and Clay, and Curry only scored 21 points, but his restraint allowed the Warriors to score 44 points in the inside and make 14 of 21 shots from mid-range. Wiggins scored 15 points in the first half and successfully led Doncic in the whole game.

But Doncic is a superstar after all. He immediately returned with 42 points in the second game. In the first quarter, he made 6 of 9 shots and scored in 4 of the penalty areas. But Wiggins insisted on consuming Doncic for 38 minutes in the game. By the fourth quarter, Doncic only made 3 of 6 shots. The Warriors were 16 points behind the Mavericks in the first quarter, 19 points behind the second quarter, and the Warriors used Looney to exchange defenses to curb the Mavericks' momentum. In the fourth quarter, the Warriors scored 43 points to reverse. Doncic scored 14 points in the last half of the quarter, but Curry returned 10 points and won 126-117 in the end, winning 2-0.

Coach Kidd, who was a 38-year-old player, was still the point guard of the 2011 Dallas Mavericks championship. He admitted that Curry is the best physical player in the NBA, "He never stops moving."

The Warriors immediately won the third game: Doncic scored 40 points, but Curry scored 31 points and 11 assists. In this game, Curry connects with the weak side to chase Dream Green, and combined with Wiggins and his incisiveness, the Mavericks are unable to join forces. When Dallas slammed Curry and made a three-pointer on the weak side, Curry passed the ball and walked his teammates to layup - he made 8 of his 11 assists and walked directly to the basket. The Warriors made 21 of 28 shots at the basket in the whole game. Wiggins' second-highest 27 points, six frontcourt rebounds, and a dunk that won Doncic's post-match praise. After the game, Doncic attracted the blame, saying that he did not play well in the first three quarters and that the responsibility for losing was on himself; he said that he would learn a lot. "I'm only 23 years old, I'm still learning." The Mavericks won a game back in the fourth game and chased 1-3, but in the fifth game, the Warriors won 120-110, and eliminated the Dallas Mavericks 4-1. After three years, for the sixth time in eight years, we entered the finals. Before Game 5, Doncic averaged 32.7 points per game in the playoffs, second only to Jordan. But in the first half, he was defended by Wiggins and Curry to only score 6 points, and made 2 of 10 shots in the first quarter. Wiggins tends to cut off his opponent's breakthrough line or shooting angle, force his opponent to make a secondary choice, and then relies on balance, reaction and talent for long hands and feet to fill in. In the Warriors, he is like a Pipen who has less instigation tasks.

Clay Thompson made 9 of 35 shots against the Grizzlies in the first five games and 8 of 14 shots in the sixth game, and the team advanced. Against the Mavericks, they made 7 of 24 shots in the first four games and 8 of 16 shots in the fifth game, and the team advanced.

Clay was very impressed after the game and spoken words were indescribable. "I only started running at this time last year, and now I think I'm back." He himself knows the nickname of "Game Six Clay", so "I'm very satisfied with Game Six Clay, I don't need to give another nickname... I don't have to wait for Game Six to release, it's pretty good!"

The 2022 Finals, the Golden State Warriors will meet the young Celtics.

Just at the beginning of 2022, the Celtics were once ranked fifth in the Eastern Conference regular season. Their old coach, Coach Brad Stevens, was promoted to general manager, and the team was led by Coach Uduka. Previously, they lost point guards Irving and Kemba Walker, missing a commander. In the spring of 2022, they first got Spurs defender Derek White and then found a defensive idea.

Celtics were inside the line at that time, Horford, 206 cm, 35 years old, Robert Williams, 203 cm, 24 years old, and Grant Williams, 198 cm.

Coach arrangement of Uduka: Try to match Horford against the opponent's center, focusing on sinking and retreating; Loway faces the opponent's No. 4 position, combining a large number of defense replacements.

The periphery was led by Marcus Smart and Tatum, and a large number of defense replacements were performed; White and Jaylen Brown actively played their single defense capabilities. In the regular season, the Celtics played the top defense in the league that tied with the Golden State Warriors, and Smart also won the defensive player of the year.

With Jaylen Brown's counterattack, Tatum's occasionally hot shot ability, the Celtics rushed to second in the Eastern Conference at the end of the regular season with 51 wins in the regular season. In the first round of the playoffs, the Celtics met their enemy the previous year's year's. The Nets beat the Celtics without Jaylen Brown 4-1 the year before, and even Tatum scored 50 points in a single game, it would be useless. But this year, the Nets sent Harden to Philadelphia, and the Celtics were complete. In the first quarter of the first game, the Celtics attacked Durant and copied the ball three times. Durant made 9 of 24 shots in the game. Irving scored 39 points in the game, but Tatum scored the 31st point in the final buzzer-beating layup, and the Celtics won 115-114.

In the second game, the Nets relied on Bruce Brown to hit Tatum in the second quarter and took his shot. They led 65-55 in the first half, but the Celtics used the breakthrough to pass the ball, allowing Horford to get a free long shot opportunity, and a 23-4 climax in the second half. The Nets scored only 42 points in the second half, and the Celtics won 114 to 107, 2-0. Durant was defended to 4 of 17 shots.

Durant was hit in the third game and only shot 11 times. On the other hand, Tatum scored 39 points with 29 shots, and the Celtics won again 109 to 103, 3-0.

Coach Nash finally sent Clarkston as the inside pillar in the fourth game, but the Celtics used the quick transfer to find Grant Williams who was shorted on the weak side. Even though Durant was hit by a pincer, he sent 9 assists in the game, the Celtics still knocked down the Nets with a switch + rotation: 116 to 112. Completed the revenge 4 to 0.

Durant averaged 26 points and 6.3 assists in the entire series, with a shooting percentage of 39%. This is Durant's full series with the second-last shooting percentage and the fourth-lowest average score. In the first game of the Eastern Conference semifinals, the defending champion Bucks lost the second leader Middleton, but knocked down the Celtics 101-89 in Boston: Tatum and Jaylen Brown, two-time winners, scored 33 points in total for 10 of 31 shots. The Bucks firmly attacked Tatum, forcing Tatum to take action under interference; against Jaylen Brown, they forced him to hold the ball more. Lopez always sticks to the basket, and the Celtics cannot damage the Bucks' penalty area: the Celtics only scored 20 points in the inside. Even though the Celtics made as many as 50 three-pointers in the game, the Bucks remained standing.

But the Celtics have their own gains: they rely on Horford's efforts to join the team, allowing Giannis Antetokounmpo, who was invincible the previous year, to make 9 of 25 shots. In the second game, the Celtics implemented this defense, forcing Giannis to make 11 of 27 shots, while the Double Kings chased for three-pointers with speed, scoring 59 points with 38 shots; Grant Williams scored 21 points with 6 three-pointers. The Celtics won 109 to 86 and chased to 1 to 1.

The Bucks forced the Celtics to fight a 1990s-style hand-to-hand battle. Giannis scored 42 points, 12 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. Tatum made 4 of 19 shots and scored 10 points. Coach Uduka used 198 cm Grant Williams to face the seven-foot Giant Lopez so that Horford could continue to face Giannis. With 50 seconds left, Giannis made a layup and overtaken. After Jaylen Brown missed a key layup, Holiday caught the backcourt rebound and shot a jump shot in the lock game, and the Bucks got 2-1.

The Celtics relied on Tatum and Horford's 30 points, and won the fourth game 116-108, chasing 2-2; in the fifth game of Tianwang Mountain, the Celtics led 86-77 at the end of the third quarter, but the Bucks set up a small ball in the fourth quarter, and Holiday and Giannis scored 8 points each; Smart made a mistake with 42 seconds left, and Holiday made a three-pointer; Giannis scored 11 seconds left to score, and Holiday made a victory ball, and Holiday made a counterattack. The Bucks lead 3-2.

In the sixth game, on the edge of the cliff, Tatum played his professional masterpiece, making 17 of 32 shots and scoring 46 points. The Celtics won 108-95, chasing 3-3. The seventh decisive battle after

. The Bucks defended the inside and released three points in the bottom corner. The Celtics insist on unlimited defense swaps and forced the Bucks to play singles. The Celtics made the first 23 shots and 14 were three-pointers. Giannis scored 10 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists in the first quarter, but his physical fitness declined afterwards. In the second quarter, Grant Williams cut inward, blocking Matthews' three-pointer and a weak side three-pointer, giving the Celtics the lead. In the third quarter, Gerwit first had an offensive foul, received Horford's pass and dunk, and then two three-pointers to give the Celtics a lead of 16 points. In the end, the Celtics won 109-81 and eliminated the defending champion Bucks.

Grant Williams scored 7 three-pointers in the NBA Game 7 record, the team's highest 27 points, the best game in his career.

Eastern Conference Finals, the Celtics faced the Miami Heat for the second time in three years. Jimmy Butler scored 41 points, allowing Miami to win a first goal 118 to 107; the Celtics recovered one; Jaylen Brown scored 40 points in the third game, but the Heat survived to the end, and the Celtics beat the Heat 20 points in the fourth game, scoring 2-2. Coach Wuduka couldn't help but complain about the team after the game, saying that the team should pursue stability and should not always be forced into a corner before cheering up. Jimmy Butler played with an injury and was unstable. After the game, he refused to make excuses for injury and said, "Just hurt, just move forward." In the first half of the fifth game, the Celtics scored only 37 points, Tatum and Jaylen made 3 of 16 shots, which was extremely unstable; however, the score difference was 32-16 in the third quarter, and won the Battle of Tianwang Mountain 93-80. Coach Uduka let Tatum play for 35 minutes from the second quarter to the fourth quarter. After the game, Jimmy Butler was still stubborn and said, "We know what we can do." In the sixth game, Miami Heat's second scorer Hero could not play. Jimmy Butler, who had a knee injury, scored 47 points in a tough manner and dragged the series into Game 7. Coach Spoostera reduced the pinch in this game, killing the Celtics' three-pointer. With 46 seconds left in the game, Heat only had 2.2 seconds of offensive time. Jimmy Butler took the sideline and started a round-over shot, killing the game, dragging it into Game 7.

Game 7, Jimmy Butler scored another 35 points. With half a quarter left, the Celtics led 12 points, but Butler led the team to chase points. With 16 seconds left, the Heat team fell behind 96-98. Butler shot a three-pointer that determined his fate. He failed to score. The Celtics were able to survive, won 100-96, eliminated Miami Heat 4-3, and reached the 2022 Finals.

So in the 2022 finals, the young Celtics fought against the rebuilt old champion Golden State Warriors. The two most outstanding defensive teams in the regular season met.

The first game of the finals was a crazy and abnormal game:

The Warriors, who won all the home games in this season's playoffs, lost at home; Curry, who has always been guarded to death, was air-dropped three-pointers in the first quarter, scoring 21 points in 6 three-pointers in a single quarter; Tatum made 3 of 17 shots, but he actually assisted more than scores; Horford, who finally played in the finals in more than 140 playoffs in 15 seasons, had a career-high 6 three-pointers. The Warriors won 14 points in the third quarter; the Celtics won 24 points in the fourth quarter - scored 9 three-pointers and completed a major away reversal.

Coach Uduka chose to empty Looney and Zhu Meng, expand the defense of the outside, force the Warriors to take the ball and attack, and defend the inside. The Warriors led by 12 points at the end of the third quarter, but in the fourth quarter, Coach Kerr made a three-point lineup and was recovered by the Celtics. In the last moment of the fourth quarter, when Curry held the ball, the Celtics defended alone; Curry called the cover, and the Celtics attacked three people. Tatum assisted teammates on weak sides for consecutive three-pointers, and the Celtics won 120-108 in the end. Curry scored 34 points, but Tatum's 13 assists allowed the Celtics to pass smoothly: the team scored 21 three-pointers. After-match Dream Chasing pointed out that the key to the Celtics' winning was Horford, Smart and White's long-range shots of 15 of 23 shots.

But Zhuan Meng said, "We will be fine." In the second game, the Warriors won 107-88 and tied 1-1. The Warriors scored 35-14 in the third quarter, leading to 23 points and steadily concluded. The Warriors changed their strategy: using Wiggins to lead the defense and unlimited replacement to target Tatum, so Tatum scored 28 points, but the Celtics' three-pointer was strangled; Dream Chasing Green entangled Jaylen Brown, allowing him to make 5 of 17 shots. Curry scored 14 points in a row in the third quarter, and in the end, Jordan Poole scored a long shot in the middle circle to secure the victory.

In the third game, both sides played an expanded defense and replaced defense. The Celtics used Tatum to fight against Dream Green, Horford against Wiggins, and even let Horford face Payton Jr. The Celtics relied on inside scoring to gain a lead: when the Celtics led 17 points 56-39 in the second quarter, the inside scored 24-10. Curry started chasing points in the last three quarters, including 15 points in the third quarter and 31 points in the game, but the Celtics won the third game 116-100 and took a 2-1 lead. The fourth game of

is here.

The finals fell 1-2. Boston away game. Facing the defensive player of the year, Smart is behind the league's best defensive team Celtics.

Under such adversity, Curry, who had an injury to his left foot, scored the second highest 43 points in his career finals.. The Warriors won 107-97 and regained the dominance of the series. Coach Cole was interviewed when Curry scored 12 points in the first quarter and tied the opponent Tatum. When asked, "Why is Curry so difficult to stop?" Cole said a witty remark: "Curry is really good at playing basketball."

When the Warriors were behind 12-16 in the first quarter, Coach Cole used Porter Jr. to substitute for the dream and match Curry. From then on, the Warriors stopped the Celtics with 11-2-Cury's two three-pointers.

Curry saw the Celtics' adjustment in the third quarter, so he made a mid-range shot from the board, a long shot around the screen, and a one-on-one challenge to Rowe and Horford. He cut out three-pointers from the baseline, and scored 12 points in a single quarter to allow the Warriors to take the lead. The Warriors' second hero is Wiggins: He and Payton Jr. locked Tatum with one defense, with his highest 16 rebounds in the game.

Curry made 2 of 8 three-pointers in the first half, but broke through, shot, layup. At the beginning of the third quarter, he played a Wade-style board, and then scored consecutive three-pointers. He played tough and tough, but the first sentence of the post-match interview was, "I am very proud of our team."

Soon, Curry will see the power of the team.

In the first four games of the 2022 Finals, Curry scored 137 points, 47 of 94 shots, including 25 of 51 three-pointers. The team's second-place Clay scored 69 points, and the third-place Wiggins scored 66 points. The two of them made 50 of 127 shots together.

Coach Uduka had previously insisted on not hitting Curry, but Curry had taken the ball with the ball in the first four games and made 20 of 40 shots.

Finally, after Curry scored 43 points in the fourth game, coach Uduka had to hit Curry. In the fifth game, Curry was hit by 7 of 22 shots and 0 of 9 three-pointers, but the space he involved was taken advantage of.

The Warriors led 24-8 at the beginning, and Tatum was defended to 0 shots in the first 7 minutes. Wiggins scored 16 points in the first half. During the break, Coach Cole shouted, "The ball is passed! Trust each other!" The Celtics made 19-4 in the third quarter, trying to chase, but Curry once again used his gravity: first break through and shoot, then assist Payton Jr. in the air basket, assisting Clay and Porter each with a three-pointer, and 6 assists in 9 minutes. Poole shot a long three-pointer, and his momentum reversed. Wiggins scored the team's highest 26 points. The Warriors won the Battle of Tianwang Mountain 104-94, leading the Celtics 3-2: This is the first consecutive defeat in the 2022 playoffs.

The Celtics made 78 mistakes in the first five games, after all, they had one less instigator. In the sixth game, the Celtics once led 14-2. But the Warriors grasped the Celtics' mistakes and made 12 mistakes in the first half, hitting a 52-25 wave. The Warriors once led by 22 points in the third quarter. When Curry scored two consecutive three-pointers, he was already gesturing his right hand to the sidelines:

means his fourth ring.

In the end, the Warriors won the sixth game 103-90, defeating the Celtics 4-2, and winning the 2022 NBA championship.

It has been a wonderful year for the Celtics. Four months ago, they were sixth in the East. They learned, tried and missed Rowe's injury, swept Durant and Irving's nets, eliminated the defending champions in seven games, defeated the Eastern Conference champions two years ago in seven games, and even led the Warriors 2-1 in the finals.

But after all, Curry and the Warriors won.

In the fall of 2019, the Warriors were almost in ruins: Curry and Clay were injured, and Durant left. Poole and Anderson have just entered the NBA. Wiggins is still in the Timberwolves, Peyton is still in the Wizards, Belicia is still in the King, Porter is still in Chicago, and Kumingga is not yet an adult.

Three years later, the championship.

Wigkins, who was so happy to hold the championship trophy after the game, said that when he first arrived at the Warriors, he claimed to learn how to be a champion with Curry. He said he learned that he had to work hard every day and prepare every day. Clay said after the game that this was simply incredible. After all, in the past two and a half years, he has recovered from injury, recovered and made a comeback. Throughout the playoffs, he kept saying how lucky he was to be in this team. Zhu Meng proudly boasted that this champion was not given out of thin air, but was won with his brothers - although it was a bit twists and turns, it was indeed the case.

Cole - five player champions, fourth coach champions - said smart after the game: as long as you are with the superstars, good things will happen.

Curry scored 34 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists in the sixth game. He averaged 31 points per game in the six finals. Facing the best defense in the league, facing the defensive player of the year. The six games totaled 31 three-pointers, the second in NBA history - the first was in 2016, when he had 32 three-pointers in seven games. 34 years old, the best finals in his career.

But after the game, even though the emotions fluctuated so much, Curry still said first, and he was proud of his team.

At the end of 2018, I had the honor to meet Mr. Rick Wilz of the Warriors. He admitted that many of the Warriors' investors invested in the Warriors not just by looking at data reports, but by "like Stephen." He said Curry was his best teammate, and more than one investor said they were not particularly good at investing, but just happened to invest in a team that owns Curry.

The Warriors had four championships in eight years, and Curry was the basis for all this. He is an overly outstanding teammate, and he lets his teammates play a good goal beyond their talent, which gives people too many illusions.

You have to strip Curry of dreams and think about what it is like without Curry's dream hunting Green, Wiggins without Curry, Porter without Curry's little, and Payton without Curry, so many things can be understood.

His tenacity, diligence, persistence and tenacity are not written on his face. After watching him play for so many years, he has risen, rebuilding and rising again, recovering from injury, recovering from injury, and recovering from injury, and then he realizes that the words

are far more than just the number one shooter in history can be summarized.

In the end, all systems are still composed of people; in the end, Curry is the Warriors' system itself. The most outstanding team in the league in the past eight years is actually based on him.

Finally, when he won the finals MVP that should have belonged to him in 2022, the Warriors teammates shouted together: "MVP! MVP!! MVP!!!"

They are on the top of the world, they are the best team, they know who has been holding on with this team from low to peak, and from low to peak.
