Basketball – NBA: Golden State 40 years after – Le Point

The best NBA team has struck the best player in the world, after forty years of waiting, Golden State did not miss his chance Tuesday against LeBron James, who surrendered after holding at arm’s length Cleveland, alone or almost all season. The Warriors have emerged four wins to two in the 2015 NBA Finals after winning their fourth success on the floor of Cleveland (105-97). The franchise in California, long derided across all US for its repeated failures, which was not included among the title contenders early in the season, waiting for this trophy since 1975 and now has four to his name.

As a symbol of his impressive domination since November, this match No. 6 was controlled from start to finish by Golden State. The best team of the regular season has always been leading the race with the exception of the first three minutes of the game and a very short time during the 3rd period. She counted to 15 point lead (73-58) and finally sickened LeBron James and his teammates after winning two of the first three matches have conceded three successive defeats.



Stephen Curry, skepticism at the coronation

“We found the recipe for success, were never deviated. It’s really special to succeed such a season from beginning to end, “said Stephen Curry, Warriors point guard named player of the 2014-2015 season. His team has had only five defeats in the playoffs for twelve victories. She had managed a regular season almost unprecedented in history with 67 wins in 82 games with only two defeats in their room. The Rite Golden State who succeeds in San Antonio is first that of Curry which experienced delicate final debut, before finding his ruthlessly efficient shooting, including three points in the last three matches.

“The last quarter was the longest of my life. It’s amazing to win this title when I think of all the progress made with this team since I was drafted in 2009, “said the son of a former NBA player spent especially by Cleveland. Revenge is sweet for Curry which has long aroused skepticism among NBA coaches because of its relatively modest physical (1.91 m, 86 kg). It exploded this season under the direction of Steve Kerr, the other architect of this coronation.



First Holy beginner coach in his first season

The former teammate of Michael Jordan, five-time NBA champion with Chicago and San Antonio, hit hard in 49 years in his first season as NBA coach: he is the first crowned rookie coach in his first season since Pat Riley in 1982 with the Los Angeles Lakers. “I had the chance to play with great players and to be led by coaches unparalleled,” insisted Kerr, holding a total basketball close to that of San Antonio Spurs Gregg Popovich, one of his mentors. “I also had the chance of inheriting an already great team and my players to have with someone like Steph, hardworking and constantly thinking of the good of the team,” he recalled.

Meanwhile, LeBron James lost his second consecutive final and his second final with Cleveland. “King James” income last summer after four seasons in Cleveland and two titles with Miami, yet probably played the best final of his career. After injuries to Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving, his two partners “Big Three”, he held his team inexperienced at this level, at arm’s length throughout the final, before surrender. “King James”, author of 32 points on Tuesday, failed to end the “curse” affecting the city of Ohio, who has not won a major trophy in professional sports since 1964. ‘C’ is my fourth final loss, it’s hard, it hurts, I gave everything, we have to give more, “he admitted.

Iguodala, Finals MVP

Golden State winger Andre Iguodala was elected best player of the finals. Iguodala, 31, was preferred to Stephen Curry, the playmaker Warriors already voted player of the season, and LeBron James, the star of the Cleveland Cavaliers who crashed yet final. But the Finals MVP trophy traditionally returns to a player playing in the sacred NBA champion team. Iguodala was the key man-finals for the Warriors who were led to a two wins after the game 3.

He was tenured for the first time this season for the match No. 4 and chained his team three straight victories. He has registered 22 points in Game 4 and 26 in Game No. 6. “Being marking LeBron James is the most difficult job in basketball. After the game # 3, it was found that Andre was doing the best job in front of him and he has contributed to our victories also by his offensive contribution, “said Steve Kerr. “I find it logical that the trophy back to him, it symbolizes altruism and sacrifice that has made each of our players this season,” said the Golden State coach. Iguodala joined Golden State in 2013 following spells in Philadelphia (2004-12) and Denver (2012-13).
