No one is always young, but there are always young people! Three of the remaining four teams have no championships

The East and West Finals of this year's playoffs are about to start, with the Eastern Knicks and Pacers, the Western Thunder and Timberwolves. Three of these four players have never won the championship, the Pacers have not. The last time the Knicks won the championship was in 1973. If the Thunder were not counted as Seattle, the Timberwolves did not.

In other words, a new champion team that has been born in 52 years will be born this year. At the same time, the NBA will not win the championship for seven consecutive years, and it is likely that it will continue. That kind of giant team may really be gone forever. It also means that the era of star group is about to pass, and the salary pressure of forming the Big Three is too high, and the effect may be counterproductive. This year, the Suns and the 76ers are the best examples.

This situation is not a bad thing for the NBA. The past era of giants monopolizing the championship was gradually coming to an end, and instead more teams saw hope of winning the championship. As the strength of each team becomes more and more balanced, the suspense and intensity of the game will only increase. Once the star group became popular, and several teams gathered a large number of superstars, but now the salary rules are becoming increasingly strict. It is not only difficult to succeed by blindly building stars, but may also drag down the team's future. Just like the Suns and the 76ers, the investment is huge but failed to get ideal results, which also reminds other teams that they need to pay more attention to rationality and long-term planning in building a team.

Look at these four final teams, whether it is the Knicks, Pacers, Thunder and Timberwolves, they all have a desire for championships. They do not have the historical baggage of glorious championships, but they have the enthusiasm and vitality of youth. The Thunder's youth army fought all the way, and the Timberwolves' team cooperated increasingly tacitly, and the Knicks and Pacers were also constantly breaking through themselves. The rise of this new force has completely bid farewell to the old pattern of "one-only one" or "a few strong monopoly".

It can be foreseen that the league will advocate more team basketball in the future, and the team will pay more attention to starting from talent training, tapping the potential of players, and creating an exclusive tactical system. In this way, new miracles may be born every season, and every team can move forward with the dream of winning the championship. This kind of blooming scene is the key to the NBA's long-term attractiveness. When there is no longer an absolute monopoly of giants, and when every championship is full of unknowns and surprises, the charm of basketball can be truly released to the extreme and make fans around the world go crazy.

can only say that no one is always young, but there are always young people! The Yangtze River pushes the old waves, and the new people in the world drive away the old ones!

It's a bit regretful. There are no old players this year. There are no old players, and there are no ones. And the old players, Westbrook, who have been working for the championship, may also have no championship for life!
