As Westbrook's mother, Shannon Holden has been refreshed recently. When she was interviewed by ESPN recently, Shannon Holden expressed her support for her son without any concealment.

In the show, the host first threw a question to Shannon Holden: "Do you think your son can become a better player than Hugo?" In response, Shannon Holden said without hesitation: "Of course I believe he is better than that guy! I always think so!"

Shannon Holden then shared some ideas about this year's finals.

She said that when the first game of the Oklahoma City Thunder and the New York Knicks were about to start, she was very nervous, but Westbrook, who was about to take action, came over to relax her mind.

"I'm really nervous, but Russell told me that he's good, it's just a game. You know, I've never seen him calmer than that." At the end of the interview, Shannon Holden also talked about the Knicks players. According to her personal account, Hugo is the most hated player on the Knicks, because this guy always comments on Thunder players, especially provoking his son, just like he's a senior of the team. But in fact, he's just a 22-year-old kid who doesn't have the right to point fingers at others, especially not to say sarcasm to his son.

"He's been doing this all the time, and I dare say he's the most hated guy in the league," Shannon Holden said. "He's always very unfriendly to my son and his teammates. It's his tutoring problem. He should learn to be smart and shut up before the game."

Wu Huang didn't want to deal with such low-end attacks, but he couldn't bear it. So the angry Holy Master mocked on Twitter: "The major stars in the NBA have different growth paths, but behind the success of these men, there is often a mother who supports him. So we can see why Russell was called a cancer and why he will never succeed." Wu Huang's sarcasm is not comparable to ordinary people, and he is even afraid of himself. He continued: "We all know that many players' mothers will cheer for their sons on the court, but Russell's mother is obviously more energy. I think she can almost affect the situation of the league. However, I suggest that she has time to participate in more charity activities. If she must participate in interview programs, it's best to know what she wants to say before that. It's not a good thing to cheat her son."

To be honest, not all mothers in the NBA league are so reassuring. For example, James, S.'s mothers can always cause all kinds of problems, which makes them anxious and don't know how to deal with them.

Emperor Wu’s parents are different. They always stand behind their son, silently support them, and never cause trouble for their son.

But when it comes to the Thunder, even the Knicks themselves did not expect that the Thunder could solve the Spurs who won two games first with a lightning speed like their name. However, when the Knicks came back from surprise, they were still secretly happy because the enemy they didn't want to provoke the West was the Spurs. Now this most perfect imaginary enemy has been defeated by another himself, which is actually good news.

Now, in the finals, the Thunder team is very similar to their previous two seasons. Facing themselves in the mirror, the Knicks have a good chance of winning, because the third young master of the Thunder is the fast whirlwind and defensive counterattack, but the positional battle of this team is still not good, and at most it has reached the Knicks' level in defense at most. Although they have Ibaka and Perkins in the interior, the outside defense is much worse than the Knicks, more importantly, in terms of defensive awareness, the Thunder players are more than just the Knicks.

Just like in previous years, the experts' predictions before the finals were particularly eye-catching. As expected, most of the experts at ESPN voted their votes for victory at the New York Knicks. The reason is simple. The Thunder are too similar to the Knicks last year. D'Antoni may not be able to deal with the Spurs, but he still has a lot of experience in this regard.

Although the Thunder's shocking reversal of four consecutive games has made the team very imposing, the Knicks have a natural psychological advantage against the Thunder. In the past three years, the Thunder has only won the Knicks once in the six regular season matches, and even in the preseason, he has only won this time. Wu Huang defeated Durant, Westbrook and Harden five times in a row on different occasions, such as the Rookie Challenge and the All-Star Game, which made the Thunder third young master feel uneasy when he sees Wu Huang, because the opponent they are about to face will defeat themselves almost every game. If they say that they have not been hit in their hearts, they probably won't even believe it.

Espn listed a brief analysis of several sets of matches before the game, as well as several highlights and questions from this year's finals.

1, Hugo will be mvp.

This question is not questioned. People believe that the great Holy Lord can handle everything. Just as he said in the Eastern Conference Finals, don't worry if there is any problem, just leave it to him.

In this year's playoffs, Hugo mentioned the most that he was very satisfied with this season. Although everyone's goal is to win the championship and defend the title, this pressure will only make him bear the blame alone. Although everyone will be happy if he succeeds, it will be his responsibility if he fails.

Well, although you can just listen to this, this is a very positive signal, which shows that Hugo's mentality is already firm. From the perspective of strength, Hugo is the number one player in the league today, and the third young master of the Thunder cannot be compared with him alone; from the perspective of experience, he has been a playoff veteran for three years, and this is his second time to reach the finals. Although he has only played for three years, in big scenes, Hugo has more knowledge than the third young master of the Thunder.

So, the conclusion is that fans just need to wait for the Holy Leader to take out the MVP performance and then take away the championship and MVP trophy.

2. Can Kevin Durant average 30 points per game?

Hugo is the number one player in the league, while Durant is the number one player in the league in offense except Hugo. This young guy has been honing his scoring skills since he entered the league. Once he plays, it will be difficult for the Thunder to be defeated. This season, in the home game, Durant scored 30 points, the Thunder's record is 9 wins and 2 losses, which is very convincing. Moreover, as long as Durant enters the offensive mode, the Knicks will have to double-team him, which will bring opportunities to other teammates. Compared with Hugo, Durant's task is lighter, and we do not have strict requirements for him to win the championship, so we can naturally have more expectations for his scoring. Fans can also look forward to the scoring battle between Durant and Hugo.

3. Can Russell Westbrook defeat the inner demon?

Westbrook is very young and often makes trouble on the court, but now he should be very clear about how to play for the team's victory. He may be the most explosive 193-centimeter defender in league history, purely competing for explosive power, and even the Holy Leader is at a disadvantage.

We all know that the person Westbrook hates the most, but also fears the most is Hugo.

This is an enemy he has never defeated head-on. The only game the Thunder won the Knicks, but Westbrook became invisible like the third and fourth fifth game of the Spurs. Harden controlled the rhythm in that game, and Durant was the one who attacked the team, but nothing happened to him.

Therefore, hugo has always been his inner demon, which is well known to everyone.

In the finals, Knicks and Hugo will definitely try every means to reduce Westbrook's speed, but the Holy Lord cannot focus all his energy on defense. In addition to putting pressure on Westbrook's breakthrough with his footsteps, I believe that Hugo can only choose between defensive breakthroughs or shooting, so this is Westbrook's chance to complete redemption in data.

In fact, if Westbrook's poor performance in the Western Conference Finals is ruled out, his jump shot has improved significantly this season, with a jump shot accuracy of 15-18 feet, Westbrook is even better than Ray Allen. So if Hugo wants to prioritize the team's offense and also score points with Durant from time to time, then Westbrook's defense must be put to the end, perhaps this will make Westbrook play unexpectedly.

4. The role of Sergi Ibaka on both offense and defense.

The third young master of the Thunder has fierce firepower, but if they want to defeat the Knicks, these offensive points are still not enough. Ibaka has made all 11 shots in the fourth game against the Spurs. If he can contribute about 15 points per game, then the Thunder's firepower on the offensive end will be enough, otherwise it will be a bit embarrassing for them to defeat the defending champion.

But the problem is that Ibaka's central shot has just been trained this season, so don't expect him to perform like this in every game. After all, Ibaka's job is still on the defensive end. When playing against the Western Conference team, Ibaka's movement speed, wingspan and defensive awareness can make most opponents feel headaches.

However, the Knicks' inside movement speed is not slow. If D'Antoni uses Gasol to play against Ibaka, the defending champion will have a high advantage.

Therefore, when the Thunder are playing against the Knicks inside, it will be critical whether Ibaka can make his opponent feel uncomfortable.

Overall, the Knicks have excellent inside offense and are not vague in defense. This round of the series will be a big test against the Thunder's inside. If they cannot withstand the Knicks' inside offense, the pressure from the third young master will be unprecedentedly huge. The Thunder will have the possibility of a collapse from the inside out, just like the Heat's falling down.

5. How will the outside duel between the two teams be staged?

Here we need to mention Sefrosa. In the past two rounds, he has played against Kobe, Parker and Ginobili, and has completed his defensive task with his long arm swing with his signature Swiss watch-like precision steps. However, in the finals, he has to face the reserve offensive point Iguodala and the sixth man Garlinari. The Knicks actually do not rely on the attacks of these two to win, so the Thunder's best defensive player on the outside will not find the mission goal. Sefrosa will face the embarrassment of having a lot of skills but not using it. Of course, he can be allowed to misplace the defense of Hugo, but Sefrosa's steps are not enough to be competent at this time, so the Thunder will likely make Harden take the responsibility in the finals, just like **Vic did in the last two games of the Western Conference Finals.

But the problem is that such a platoon will definitely lead to other more troublesome problems, such as the most difficult ball rights issue. If Harden plays, will Westbrook start to be invisible from the first minute of the first game? But if Harden is not given the ball rights, his effectiveness will be greatly reduced, and Harden's defense may not be able to defend Iguodala. The Thunder's outside line has faced many embarrassments from the beginning.

From this point of view: the Knicks' outsiders can cause a lot of trouble to the Thunder's outsiders. The comprehensiveness of the four players Iguodala, Bathir, Tony Allen and Danny Green on the defensive end will make all the Thunder's three young men covered. For example, Tony Allen is best at defending double-energy guards, while Westbrook and Harden are strictly speaking both double-energy guards in this range, so Tony Allen will inevitably be reused by the Knicks in this round.

Bathil and Iguodala are both candidates who are very suitable for defending Durant in the regular season. Although Danny Green has few chances to play, this North Carolina player is also competent for defending Durant or Harden. Therefore, each of the Thunder Three Young Masters will face the defensive threat of at least two of the Knicks. D'Antoni can make diversified choices based on the on-court situation and player status. He can play far more cards than Brooks. It is said that the Knicks' defense swap strategy is that except for the two inside players, almost every outside player can face any opponent's outside, so the finals are likely to be full of demonstrations of various difficult single-handed skills.

It should be mentioned here that the Thunder and the Knicks are both teams that are best at creating free throws in the league, so... Perkins, Collison, Ibaka, Gasol, David Si, Monroe and others will show off their acting skills in this series. By the way, after Harden's last round of fake falls with Ginobili, he will show off his acting skills with Fisher and Hugo in this round.

6. Can the Knicks win two home games? Will they win two more games in Oklahoma City after that? In other words, will they sweep?

Knicks fans believe their team can win the first, fifth, or even seventh game, but it is still a bit difficult to continue the task of "sweeping".

Now for the New York Legion, if you want to win the championship, you must not let the Thunder score 2 points at home, and at the same time, you cannot lose any home game, especially the win or loss in the first game, which will have a great impact on the morale of both sides. Therefore, the Knicks will do their best to get a good start.

If you are supplemented with relatively rich experience, the first match between the Knicks is the most promising, but in the next few games, both sides should have a win and each gain. Then the most important game will be the fifth and the last game. The veterans, more Knicks will play their experience advantages in this watershed battle, so the fifth and perhaps the seventh game will be more beneficial to the Knicks.

What the Thunder are trying to win is other games, such as grabbing one home court in the second game and trying to win all the games when they return to home. Only in this way can they have hope of defeating the Knicks, but in general, the Knicks have a higher chance of winning the championship.

7. This final will be a showdown between two small ball tactic executors. Is this part of the experience D'Antoni is more wise, or is the young coach Brooks more wise?

The coach's duel is one of the focus of the finals. The Thunder chose the small ball tactics based on the style of the third young master. Since two years ago, they have insisted on the small ball tactics and bombardment! At the same time, the defensive counterattack and pick-and-roll offense are also the main weapons for the Thunder to kill the enemy. Brooks also tailored a series of unball running tactics for Durant, which further enriched their offensive system.

Now, in addition to being unable to fight well in positional battles, this Thunder can be said to be well-versed in most of the Knicks' tactics in the first two seasons. Moreover, they used this thunderous and decisive thunder offensive to pass the hurdles and reach the finals.

But when they are only one step away from the championship trophy, they need to come up with more brilliant tactical arrangements to help the team realize their championship dreams, because most of the tactics they use now are the remaining ones they played in the defending champions in the first two years. Now the Knicks have begun to eliminate the tactical system of blindly seeking speed. They only retained the first two seasons of fast counterattacks and pick-and-roll offenses. The number of attacks in position battles this season has increased significantly. Various small cooperation after landing in positions also rely on the delicate skills brought by the players. It can be said that now this Knicks can choose whether to play fast or slow, or a more advanced playing style that combines fast and slow according to their opponents' characteristics. This makes the Knicks obviously better than the Thunder in terms of the changes in the last game than the Thunder.

In addition, the Knicks' defense also has more changes and extension than the Thunder. They can freely choose double-team through overall good scalability and oppressive defense, help defend against the opponent's strong points and protect the inside. At the same time, they can quickly cover the opponent's external firepower as needed, and seize the opportunity to launch an efficient defensive counterattack after making mistakes.

Brooks now has less than three days to decide how to deal with the Knicks' more balanced lineup, how to raise rotation time for his role players, especially whether the second team is smooth, which directly determines the combat effectiveness of the Thunder and the Knicks.

Finally, if the Thunder wins the championship, Perkins and Mohamed will have two rings, Fisher will have the sixth ring, and he will become Robert Holly's second generation and will be praised by later generations. A character player will be considered a legend.

The league officially announced the 2011-2012 season finals schedule on June 7:

June 9th, New York Knicks vs Oklahoma City Thunder Madison Square Garden, pm, 20:30.

June 18, New York Knicks vs Oklahoma City Thunder Madison Square Garden, to be determined.

On June 20, New York Knicks vs Oklahoma City Thunder Chesapeake Energy Arena, to be determined.

June issue, New York Knicks vs Oklahoma City Thunder Madison Square Garden, to be determined.

When we arrived at the finals, the league finally extended the schedule a little. After the first four games, there will be two days off in the middle of each game, but the premise is that the Thunder can hold on until Game 5.

Emperor Wu was not very happy. After he satirized Westbrook's mother, he criticized him for a while on Twitter and Facebook, which made him very confused. Why can the other party blatantly scold him? But after a few sarcastic words, he was criticized and questioned?

The Thunder players did not continue to salivate with Wu Huang on this matter, but Durant complained about Battier's blindfolded defense before the game.

As we all know, Battier only started to blindfold his eyes in the middle of his career. His move has a great influence on players who mainly shoot, and Durant is such a player. Although his schoolbag has scored many high scores against Battier, he is still disgusting with this kind of defense. Therefore, before setting off for New York, Durant openly said that he "hate" this.

However, Durant did not expect that Battier is known for being kind and kind, but this does not mean that he will not be able to fight psychologically. Especially this time it is related to the finals and the most important ring in the eyes of the player, so Battier quickly counterattacked: "Did he say that? Then I'm sorry, because Kobe never said that, James never said that, McGrady never said that, and Hugo never said that... I'm a veteran, so I have partnered with many amazing guys. I know they all work hard for the championship trophy and never get distracted. This is the difference between Kevin and these people."

Bathil said he respects Durant, but Durant's public comments on his defense still surprised him, which is not like something a strong man can do.

Then when asked if there were any such defenders in the league? Bathir said: "There were one or two people who used this trick to me, but their skills were not good and had no effect. But I passed this trick to Tony and Hugo also learned it. I think they can carry forward this trick."

The media expressed surprise that Tony Allen would do this move. This guy is a player who lives on defense. It is normal to learn Bathir's unique skills, but what the hell is Hugo's move? Never seen him use this kind of defense?
