ESPN asked what year was the most difficult to win? The Rockets and Bulls were in the 1995th, and the 16th Cavaliers were not selected.

It is not easy to win the championship every season in the NBA. Like the Warriors in the 16-17 season, it is hard to get a championship. In the NBA, it can be said that the championship every year is indispensable for luck and strength. In the 2016, the Cavaliers fell behind 1-3 in the 2016. They thought they were going to lose, but the team completed a shocking reversal. It is worth mentioning that ESPN asked today: What year was the most difficult year in NBA history to win the championship? They listed 4, but the Cavaliers did not make it on the list in 2016. Let’s take a look at how difficult it is for these 4 championships.

The Rockets won the championship in 1994-95. Although they were the defending champions, the team did not choose to retain the core lineup in 1995. They exchanged for Drexler from the Trail Blazers, but the Gliders were deeply troubled by injuries this season. As a result, the Rockets' performance in the regular season was ups and downs. The team finally achieved the sixth record in the Western Conference. At that time, no one was optimistic that they could continue to compete for the championship. They faced the Jazz of Utah's double evil spirits in the first round. They lost Tianwangshan, and then won two consecutive games to win the game and advanced to the second round.

In the second round, the team met Barkley's Suns. The Rockets also played the last game in this round, and the team narrowly won the tiebreak with 1 point. After experiencing a life-and-death battle between the two rounds, it seemed that the Rockets had regained the level of the championship team. Facing the Spurs in the division final, Olajuwon led the team to defeat their opponents 6 games. This was also the easiest round of the series in their division playoffs. In the finals, they met the extremely talented O'Neal and Penny Hardaway, but experience eventually defeated the talent, and Olajuwon led the team to sweep the Magic.

The Bulls

The Bulls

The Bulls

When seeing Jordan's Bulls, many fans may have questions. Is it still difficult for Jordan's team to win the championship? This year is indeed difficult. First of all, Rodman has reached the end of his career and has no peak. Pippen is also deeply troubled by a back injury. At the same time, he and the team are not happy due to contract issues. In this case, Jordan relied on his outstanding ability to lead the team and tied for the league with the Jazz, tied for the first place in the league. However, this time the MVP was not given to Malone, because everyone knows how difficult it is for Jordan to lead the team this year.

Jordan played very easily in the first two rounds of the division final. He led the team to reach the division final in a total of 9 games. However, in the final they met Reggie Miller, one of Jordan's nemesis. In this round of series, because Pippen and Rodman performed poorly, the two sides fought to tiebreak until the tiebreak. Jordan narrowly defeated his opponent by 28+9+8 in G7. Everyone knows that the two sides fought until G6. Jordan stole Karl Malone in the key round, and then controlled time to complete the final. If G6 did not kill, then both sides came to tiebreak and the Bulls would most likely lose. In the 2002 season, the Lakers

in 2001, the Lakers won the championship with a big score of 15-1, but in 2002, the Lakers did not play easily. Due to core injuries in the regular season, they only achieved the third record in the Western Conference, after entering the playoffs. The team met the Trail Blazers in the first round. At that time, the Trail Blazers had no longer had the competitiveness of the previous few years. The team swept the opponent and then met the Spurs in the second round. Although the Lakers swept the Spurs by a gentleman, the two sides played in a stalemate in this round of the series. In every game, the Lakers won the game with a weak score.

In the division final, the Lakers were the most difficult level of the year. Facing the King of Princeton system, the Lakers could not defend against the opponent's attack at all. The two sides fought fiercely to the King of Heaven. In the end, the Lakers defeated Tianwang Mountain by 1 point, which was the last step away from elimination. However, afterwards, the referee began to exert force, and O'Neal and Kobe received more free throws. In the end, they relied on free throws to eliminate the Kings. If the league had not intended to praise superstars, the Kings would have won the championship this year. In the finals, they encountered the weak inside Nets, and O'Neal led the team to directly sweep the opponent.

03-04 season Pistons

To be honest, the Pistons of this season have been able to win the championship, thanks to the system they created for them. The team only achieved 54 wins in the regular season, ranking third in the East. If it were put in the West, they would only be fifth in the West. They easily defeated the Bucks in the first round, but encountered a strong opponent in the second round. Facing Kidd's Nets, the two sides fought until the tiebreak. If the Nets had not performed poorly on the offensive end, it would be hard to say who could laugh to the end of this round of the series. The team met the Pacers in the division finals, and Miller at that time had no peak.

But O'Neal Jr. and Ate were at their peak. The two sides tied 2-2 in the first four games. After that, the Pistons won two consecutive victories. The team reached the finals. In the finals, they met the Lakers with F4. At that time, no one was optimistic that the Pistons could defeat the powerful Lakers, but they were upset. Big Ben could limit the Sharks who were not at the peak. Payton and Malone also became a hidden danger. In the end, they actually swept the Lakers to win the championship with a gentleman.
