LeBron James running away? He's going all in on Curry.

The 2014-2015 NBA regular season has officially come to an end amidst various dramas and farces.

There were no surprises in the selection of the major awards at the end of the season.

With his incredible scoring average of 35 points per game and his masterful ability to "flop" the rules, Houston Rockets' star player James Harden decisively defeated Stephen Curry, a master of resting players, and LeBron James, who was hit in the head, to win his first regular season MVP award without any controversy!

Houston was immersed in a sea of ​​celebration, with Rockets fans placing high hopes on this "Moreyball" team, chanting "the third championship in team history."

However, when the playoffs truly began, the stark contrast between the Eastern and Western Conferences revealed a significant gap between the two teams to fans worldwide.

On the eastern side.

The defending champion Cleveland Cavaliers have taken the word "brutal" to its extreme.

In the first round of the playoffs, they will face the Brooklyn Nets; in the second round, they will face the Washington Wizards; and in the Eastern Conference Finals, they will face the Atlanta Hawks.

In the words of TNT commentator Charles Barkley, these three series were like "Su Yang's team not even breaking a sweat; it was like a public execution performance on a nationwide tour!"

4 is better than 0!

4 is better than 0!

4 is better than 0!

There was no surprise whatsoever!

After more than a month of rest and recuperation, the "Death Lineup" is unstoppable in the Eastern Conference. Curry is playing almost every game, while Davis and Leonard are creating a formidable defensive net.

The Cavaliers secured their place in the NBA Finals early on with a perfect 12-0 playoff record.

In the Wild West, the plot twists and turns are as dramatic as a Hollywood blockbuster.

Despite losing DeMarcus Cousins, the Los Angeles Clippers' interior firepower was somewhat diminished, but thanks to the talent of Durant and Irving, two one-on-one specialists, and James's playmaking, they still made it to the Western Conference Finals with little pressure.

Standing before them was James Harden, who had just won the MVP award, and his Houston Rockets team, which was determined to "carry the ship"!

This Western Conference Finals series was incredibly intense.

The Rockets' "switch-everything" frontcourt trio—Iguodala, Ariza, and Draymond Green—relentlessly guarded the Clippers' three superstars.

The two teams battled fiercely in the first six games, ending in a 3-3 tie! The series was cruelly dragged into a decisive Game 7!

However, the worst news for Houston came in the final moments of Game 6.

Chris Paul, the Rockets' mastermind and known as the "God of Point Guards," clutched his hamstring in pain during a drive to the basket.

A hamstring strain has ruled him out of Game 7!

This sudden injury was like a bolt from the blue, pushing the Rockets to the brink of elimination.

Without Paul orchestrating the offense, the Rockets' offensive burden will unsurprisingly fall on the shoulders of MVP James Harden alone!

Faced with such a desperate situation, the entire city of Houston was shrouded in a tragic atmosphere.

And just one day before the decisive Game 7 was to begin.

James Harden demonstrated his responsibility as the "newly crowned MVP" by posting a heartfelt "handwritten letter" on his personal social media!

In the letter, Harden wrote in neat handwriting:

Houston fans, we need you! Tomorrow's Game 7 is our closest chance to the Finals! Chriss is down, but I'm still here! I urge all fans to wear your red jerseys tomorrow and fill the Toyota Center! Be our sixth man! Let's create a miracle together!

This passionate and inspiring handwritten letter ignited the passion of the entire state of Texas!

Houston fans were moved to tears, and tickets for the Game 7 final were sold out in ten minutes, with scalpers driving prices to exorbitant levels.

"This is our MVP! He's going to lead the team to a miraculous comeback from the brink of defeat!"

All the fans are hoping that Harden can descend to earth in Game 7 and single-handedly defeat the Los Angeles super team.

……

May 28, Toyota Center, Houston.

The decisive Game 7 kicked off with a bang! The entire arena transformed into a sea of ​​red, with deafening cheers echoing throughout!

however.

When the referee blows the whistle to start the game, when the game actually progresses into the first quarter, the second quarter...

The cheers gradually turned into astonishment, and finally into deathly silence.

On the court, the newly crowned MVP, who had vowed to "create a miracle," was in very poor form.

James Harden's legs felt like lead, his eyes were unfocused, and his steps were unsteady!

Facing the Clippers' defense, he not only lost his usual sharp first step breakthrough, but even his signature step-back three-pointer kept hitting the front of the rim!

Missed shot! A turnover! The ball was stolen!

He was like a sleepwalker on the field!

"What is James Harden doing?! Why is he showing no offensive drive?! Is there a serious problem with his stamina?!" The commentator in the broadcast booth shouted anxiously.

The Rockets' offense stalled due to Harden's continued slump.

Meanwhile, the Clippers, led by Irving and Durant, seized the opportunity to launch wave after wave of offensive surges, widening the gap to more than 20 points!

In the fourth quarter, when Harden casually dribbled the ball beyond the three-point line again, then passed it to a Clippers player, giving the opponent an easy fast break dunk.

A heartbreaking scene unfolded on the sidelines.

Chris Paul, who was unable to play due to a leg injury, sat on the bench looking quite disappointed.

This veteran, who longed for a championship, finally couldn't suppress his anger and despair as he watched Harden, who showed no fighting spirit on the court!

"Bang!!!"

Paul swung his fist and slammed it into the back of the seat next to him!

This furious and resentful "hammer" was clearly captured by the nationally televised cameras, becoming a microcosm of Houston's most desperate moment in this series.

"drop--!"

The match has ended.

The Los Angeles Clippers won Game 7 on the road with a large margin, advancing to the NBA Finals!

James Harden, the newly crowned MVP, had a disastrous performance in Game 7: he made only 2 of 14 shots and committed 11 turnovers, delivering a performance that was almost like that of an undercover agent, and single-handedly ruined the Rockets' season!

……

As soon as the game ended, Houston fans were still trying to find excuses for Harden's strangely poor performance, thinking that he was sick or hiding his injury.

But only two hours later!

A report by TMZ, America's most famous gossip media outlet, has slapped the faces of all Rockets fans!

[Exclusive scoop! The newly crowned MVP's Game 7 preparation night: partying with Khloé Kardashian until 4 AM!]

The news report included an extremely clear video.

Just the night before the decisive Game 7, and only a few hours after Harden posted that "heartfelt" handwritten letter on social media.

This MVP, who vowed to "create a miracle," actually showed up at Houston's most luxurious nightclub wearing a big gold chain!

In the video, Harden is seen with a cigar in his left hand and his right arm around Khloe Kardashian's exaggeratedly large buttocks, partying wildly amidst flying banknotes and deafening music!

According to paparazzi reports, Harden didn't return to his hotel from the nightclub until 4 a.m. on the day of the game, looking unsteady on his feet!

boom!!!

This news caused an uproar in the American basketball world!

"Holy crap!! What a miracle! Turns out she went to a nightclub to create life!"

"A handwritten letter?! He writes a letter to fool the fans, and then he's seen with Kim Kardashian at a nightclub, wiggling his hip?! That's outrageous!"

"Paul's heart was bleeding! No wonder he was pounding the chair on the sidelines! Having a boss like that who can't control his lust is the worst luck imaginable!"

The online public opinion reversed very quickly. Under Harden's handwritten letter that once moved countless people, countless Rockets fans who felt cheated were hurling insults.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side of the ocean, in the Cleveland Cavaliers' tactical meeting room.

"The Los Angeles Clippers, after all the twists and turns, it's still this group of people standing on the stage of the Finals."

Su Yang looked up at the Clippers' Finals roster listed on the tactical board.

Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant, LeBron James, Tristan Thompson, and PJ Tucker.

Because of Cousins' 40-game suspension for that punch, this interior beast is still unable to play.

"Boss, the Clippers' frontcourt isolation lineup, coupled with the momentum they showed in Game 7, is indeed not to be underestimated," General Manager Grant said with some concern.

"Not to be underestimated?"

Su Yang sneered and circled the Clippers' roster.

"Grant, take a close look at the Clippers' roster without Cousins."

"Don't you think this lineup looks very familiar?"

Grant and the assistant coach beside him paused for a moment, then thought back carefully.

"Last year in the Finals, the Clippers' roster consisted of: Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant, Kevin Love, Tristan Thompson..."

"And this year, because Cousins ​​is suspended, their roster has become: Irving, Durant, LeBron James, TT..."

Su Yang's laughter was very sarcastic:

"Did you see that? Our great 'King' went to great lengths to force the team to leave, causing chaos in the locker room, and even got his head blasted by Cousins ​​in public."

"After a year of turmoil, all they did was replace Kevin Love with LeBron James."

Ship-based Rider Wars 2.0!

Love was traded for James!

Upon hearing the boss's summary, the uniformed team members exchanged glances, and soon the meeting room was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
