Dream Chasing: I would rather be eliminated in the first round of the playoffs than lose in the finals

On June 5, Warriors Star Chasing Dream said on a podcast that he would rather be eliminated in the first round of the playoffs than failing in the NBA Finals.

Zhongmeng said: "For me, reaching the finals but failing to win the championship is one of the worst seasons. Entering the finals is completely different from winning the O'Brien Cup. You may think that reaching the finals means being close to the peak, but it is not the case. Only players who have won the championship and those who lose the finals can empathize with this. "

He used the 2016 Warriors' loss to the Cavaliers as an example to analyze: "Irving's key three-pointer and James' death block are still vivid in my mind. Some teams are in the finals Losing 2-4, even if you win two games, it does not mean that you are close to winning the championship. You know, winning four games in a row in the finals is like a sky-high. If you just reach the finals and return empty-handed, you will only get more bonuses and spend three weeks less vacations, and you will get nothing in essence. This feeling is much more uncomfortable than being eliminated in the first round. "
