A record low! Only 6 players in the semi-finals team have won the championship, led by Mr. 190 million in 4 years, and PJ Tucker is on the list

Just earlier today, the Nuggets lost to the Thunder in tiebreak, and the Thunder won the last ticket to this year's division final. In the end, the opponents in the Western Conference Finals were the Timberwolves and the Thunder, and the opponents in the Eastern Conference Finals were the Pacers and the Knicks. Almost all of these four teams are young teams, including the Pacers, Knicks and Timberwolves, who were not optimistic before the playoffs started. As the top scorer in the league, many people support them in winning the championship, but in fact they are the fourth youngest team in the NBA. From this point of view, the Thunder's team building has been very successful.

In addition to young people, this year's final four teams have another characteristic, that is, there are too few players with championship experience. According to statistics, only 6 players in the semi-finals have won the championship this year, which has set a record low! The Pacers and the Knicks in the East are 2 each, and the Timberwolves and the Thunder in the West are 1 each. The two walkers are Siakam and Thomas Bryant. Siakam is the second leader of the Raptors' championship in 2019 and is also the most valuable player among the six. Last year, he signed a four-year, 190 million contract extension with the Pacers, and his strength is very impressive. Now he is also the second leader of the Pacers.

Thomas Bryant won the championship with the Nuggets in 2023. Now he is in the Pacers' normal rotation lineup. Coach Carlisle is a real team basketball master. Thomas Bryant is actually not at a high level, but he can still get playing time. The two Knicks have experience in championships, one is OG Anunobi, who is not low, with 210 million yuan in five years. Before Towns came, he was the most profitable team. As a 3D player, he really reached the top because he got so much money. OG Anunobi won the championship with the Raptors in 2019. He is the main force, but not the absolute core. And he was injured in the playoffs and did not play in the finals. Another champion player of the Knicks is PJ Tucker, who is now 39 years old and is completely the Knicks' mascot, the water dispenser administrator, and has no playing time. Tucker won the Bucks in 2021. He was still a main player at that time, especially in the series against the Nets, who made contributions to defending Durant. In the West, the only Timberwolves' championship player is Divinchenzo, who also won the championship with the Bucks in 2021. As for the Thunder, Caruso, the team's top 3D player, won the championship with the Lakers in 2020, but unfortunately, in order to stay with Horton Tucker, the Lakers were unwilling to renew Caruso for 30 million yuan in three years, causing the latter to leave Chicago.

Caruso plays better and better this year's playoffs. In this round of series, you can even defend against big, defend against Jokic, and defend and three-pointers. At the end of last year, when the Thunder used a 4-year, 81 million yuan contract to renew Caruso, many people were questioning why they wanted to give a player who averaged 5.5 points per game 81 million. Now everyone finally understands that Caruso is indeed worth the price.
