The Thunder and the Cavaliers meet in the finals? Can the Young Storm overturn traditional strong teams?

This season's NBA playoffs is really shocking! The Thunder and the Cavaliers are the first in the East and West teams, and they won all the way in the regular season. As a result, the Grizzlies and Heat were directly pressed to the ground for the first round of the playoffs to rub against each other - a 4-0 sweep! Who would have thought of it? The Lakers and Bucks are actually behind 1-3, and even Jokic and Antetokounmpo can't sit still.

Now fans are rumoring: If the Thunder and the Cavaliers really meet in the finals, how explosive would the scene be? But the question is, the old world such as the Celtics, Warriors, and Nuggets have not taken action yet. Can these two young teams really stand the end?

To be honest, the Thunder team reminds me of Jordan + Pippen back then, but now they directly push young people to the stage as the protagonists. Alexander averages 32.7 points per game, and his three shooting percentages add up to the "180 Club". The key is that he can still steal + block, which is simply a mobile version of Jordan. What's more ruthless is that they are the best in the league in defensive efficiency! Think about it, if the opponent wants to score in the Thunder, he has to pass the level of Homegren first - this guy can shoot 39% of his three-pointers, and can grab rebounds with the rim protection. It is simply the center template of the new era. Let’s look at their salary structure. The three giants spent only 35 million yuan in total and still had 13 first-round picks in their hands. Isn’t this paving the way for the future?

But don't underestimate the knight! The double towers of Mobley and Allen have pushed the opponent's shooting percentage in the penalty area to 34%, and the defensive efficiency is outrageous. Although Mitchell was said to have "fallen at critical moments", he scored 37 points directly against the Heat in the first round of the playoffs. Garland's organizational ability and Mobley's defense are simply the new version of the "black and white double evil spirits" in the Eastern Conference. The most amazing thing is the bench. Hunter and Jerome can actually score a magical operation of "11 assists + 21 points" in the fourth quarter. Who can withstand this depth?

But don't be too happy too early! The Thunder's inside confrontation is too obvious. Homgren is as thin as a bamboo pole. If he meets a big guy like Jokic, he will suffer. The Cavaliers' outside defense is also like paper, and Garland and Mitchell are not as tall as others' Tatum. More importantly, the average age of the Thunder is 23.5 years old, and it is easy to panic when playing high-intensity games in the playoffs; once the Cavaliers' double towers are injured, the substitute center can't stand it at all. To be honest, which of the veterans and Warriors of the Celtics is not waiting to be joked?

End

Thunder and the Cavaliers' operations are like two young young actors who suddenly enter the martial arts conference. You say they have unlimited potential, and they have great shortcomings; say they have insufficient experience, and their regular season record is a bit tougher. But this is the charm of basketball! Who still remembers how the Thunder was eliminated by the Mavericks back then? Who expected the Cavaliers to overturn the Heat with the double towers? Anyway, I bet 50 cents. Even if these two teams cannot enter the finals, it is enough for the veteran strong team to have a good time. What do you think? Can the young storm break the traditional pattern?
