5. Dallas Mavericks in 2006-2007 season
The Mavericks lost 4-2 to the Heat in the finals last year. It was the first time Dallas reached the finals, and they beat the defending champion Spurs. Although they lost in the final, everyone thinks they will make a comeback next year. After four consecutive defeats in the opening season, the Mavericks gradually found that Josh Howard was the biggest surprise of the team that year, and he was elected as the only All-Star in his career in the middle of the season. The team has two all-star players and a player ranked sixth in the league. There is no doubt about the offensive firepower.
Dallas won 67 of the next 78 games, which was the sixth regular season record in history at that time. Nowitzki also won the MVP in the regular season. Did the team play slightly better in the last few games of the season? Drainage? Still entering the playoffs with the first record in the league, but it happened that he restrained his warriors in the regular season. At that time, the old Nelson, the head coach of the Warriors, was familiar with the team he built. That year, the Golden State Warriors won the regular season championship, attacked the torrent and had no strength to fight back. We believe it? The slogan became a spiritual totem, 2:4! The calf was hacked, and the huge contrast of that year became the darkest history of the team.
4. Los Angeles Lakers in 2003-2004 season
After losing to the Spurs in the Western Conference semifinals in 2002-03, the Lakers formed F4 that summer, welcoming old players Malone and Payton. The team lineup can be described as Starlight Glimmer. The Lakers entered the playoffs with the second record in the West, and played in the Western Conference Finals? Three-headed monster? Timberwolves, Lakers lineup and playoff experience are all advantages. They reached the finals four times in five years, and their opponent was the third piston in the East.
But in the finals, the pistons and the five tigers did it. There is internal strife within the Lakers, and Kobe's mentality in the finals is very unstable. Facing the iron bucket array of pistons, he blindly chose singles. However, Malone and Payton, who are in their twilight years, can't compare with their parent team in tactical state, and their team lineup is seriously aging. In the face of the pistons, whose main lineup is more flexible and their play style is more team-oriented, they lost by 1:4. Lakers? F4？ After the end of the season, it also fell apart, sharks traveled eastward, Malone retired, and Kobe took over the burden for many years to come.
3.20 12-20 13 season Los Angeles Lakers
In the offseason, the Lakers finally signed the long-awaited Howard, together with two-time MVP Steve Nash, the Lakers' new? F4？ Born! Many people think that their lineup is enough to compete with the Heat, but this year has not been smooth. The Lakers stumbled and lost several games in the preseason, and this bad run-in brought them to the regular season. In the first half, the Lakers only won 17, and D 'Antoni's entry brought about a stampede, but it didn't work without Nash bringing up the rear. The attack was sluggish and the defense didn't play team spirit. The house leaked because of the continuous rain, and the team suffered a large area of injuries and the state declined.
After struggling in the first half, Kobe increased his personal attack in the second half, and the team was relatively skilled in running-in. The Lakers stumbled into the playoffs and were swept by the Spurs in the first round. Compared with the poor record and the contradiction in the locker room, what worries fans more is Kobe's injury that year. After suffering from a torn ankle and achilles tendon, Kobe's condition declined and he finally left his beloved stadium on 20 16.
2.2010-2011Miami Heat
That summer, James decided to bring his talent to the South Coast and get together with Bosh and Wade to form the most terrifying Big Three. At the end of the regular season, the Heat won the second place in the East. In the playoffs, they lost to the 76ers, Celtics and Bulls, and entered the finals with the Mavericks. With 1:0 leading and Heat G2 leading in the last quarter 15 points, the team's overall slack was turned over by the Mavericks, and Nowitzki made a layup.
2: 1 After taking the lead, the Heat fought for themselves? Tired of arrogance, Dallas native Qi Xin worked together to beat the Heat 4-2. The Big Three were defeated by the aging calf. Although the Heat won two consecutive championships in the following two seasons, Miami that season was very disappointing.
1.2015-2016 Golden State Warriors
A team with 73 wins and 9 losses in the regular season did not win the championship even though it was 3:/kloc-0: 0 in the finals. No matter which year, it's hard to understand.
The Warriors won 73 games in the last game of the regular season, breaking the historical record of 72 wins led by Jordan. Curry hit 402 three-pointers last season and was unanimously elected MVP of the regular season. However, the Warriors' playoff was not smooth. The Western Conference Finals 1:3 were behind the Thunder, and it was almost impossible for the Warriors to make a comeback. In the same situation, they created the background of their opponents. Owen and James are in full swing. After Green's suspension, the Cavaliers attacked more smoothly and Curry defended fiercely. LeBron's hat chase and Owen's three-point retreat made the most incredible comeback in the history of the finals. 3% probability, the knight wrote a myth. Riding bravely is the memory of a generation of fans. Although the warriors only lost once, it was the most painful lesson.
