This season's NBA journey has come to an end, and the Celtics have lived up to expectations, winning the championship again after 16 years, and their team history has won 18 championships, surpassing the Los Angeles Lakers (17 championships) to win the league alone. The Green Army's duo of Jaylen Brown and Tatum are still relatively young compared to most of the team's cores, and the two still have a lot of room for improvement, and are expected to join forces with the Green Army to create another dynasty. This year, their dominance is indeed too strong, the regular season is a ride, early to lock the league's first record, the playoffs to win the championship only lost 3 games, a total of 16 wins and 3 losses, the winning rate is close to 9 percent. Despite this, some people still questioned the Celtics, feeling that in the first few rounds of the playoffs, the teams on the Eastern side did not put any pressure on them, resulting in the Finals, and the Green Army still had plenty of physical energy to face off against the Mavericks.

Many people think that if teams like the Nuggets and Timberwolves compete with the Green Army in the Finals, it is difficult to say who will win the championship in the end. In fact, there is no such if, since the Mavericks can break out of the West, it means that they are the most powerful team in the West this season, and the Celtics can easily defeat the Mavericks, so it is not a problem to win the Nuggets and Timberwolves. Compared with last year's visible decline in the Nuggets' combat power, the Timberwolves have too few independent offensive players, and they rely too much on Edwards for outside launches. The Celtics won the championship, Jaylen Brown won the FMVP, and after 5 games, Brown scored a total of 104 points, averaging 20.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, 5 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.8 blocks per game. This stat is not too impressive, and it is slightly worse than Tatum.

However, Brown's first three games were very good, especially in the critical moments, where G2 deadly steals + finishing layups, one offense and one defense killed the game, and G3 was also a key mid-range shot at the last moment, helping the Green Army lock up the win away. In previous seasons, the Celtics lacked stars who could step up in key moments, resulting in them often failing to break the ceiling and always one step away from the championship. Now that Brown has grown, his scoring ability at key moments is becoming more and more consistent, which is the biggest reason why he can win FMVP. Of course, if the Finals MVP is awarded to Tatum, it will be reasonable, Tatum scored 16 points + 18 points + 31 points + 15 points + 31 points in 5 games for a total of 111 points, averaging 22.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, 7.2 assists, 1 steal and 0.6 blocks per game.

Among them, in the G5 finale, Tatum blasted out 31 points, 8 rebounds and 11 assists in the game, leading the team to eliminate the Mavericks. In the 5 finals, Tatum's efficiency was not high, and he didn't shoot at critical moments, but as the biggest leader of the team, he can make a lot of sacrifices in the game, and he is competent for the task of organizing the series, and the defensive end is also leading by example, full of enthusiasm, and the dirty work of fighting for rebounds in the card position is also being undertaken, even if Tatum failed to win the honor of FMVP, it does not affect his status as the boss of the team at all, in his own words, he doesn't care about this single honor, and it is the happiest thing to win the championship. Also happy for Brown to get the FMVP. According to ESPN, the Green Army will soon offer Tatum a five-year contract worth $315 million with a maximum salary.

On the other hand, the Mavericks, who were one step closer to winning the championship, actually have no regrets, they really can't beat the Celtics, the depth of the lineup can't match, and the core players haven't played at a super level. Irving's performance in this series is hard to describe, scoring 12 points + 16 points + 35 points + 21 points + 15 points in 5 games, for a total of 99 points. Although G3 broke out in one game, the other four games were sleepwalking level, of which on the road, Irving averaged only 14.3 points, 2.6 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game, shooting only 34%. Irving and the Celtics had a holiday after all, but Irving still failed to break his demons and looked a little timid at the home of the Green Army, and of course, the Green Army home fans did not intend to "forgive" Irving. Irving doesn't exert his strength, and Doncic alone makes it difficult for the Mavericks to have a chance to win the game.

In the NBA Finals, Irving scored 99 points and Tatum scored 111 points, so what about Doncic? Outrageous. After 5 games in the finals, Doncic scored 30 points + 32 points + 27 points + 29 points + 28 points for a total of 146 points, playing an average of 38.8 minutes per game, scoring 29.2 points, 8.8 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 2.6 steals. There is no doubt that Doncic has stepped into the superstar level, has a lot of scoring means, and his scoring ability is also very stable, however, judging from the process of the series, Doncic still has some shortcomings and bad play.

During the Finals, Doncic's three-point shot was a little out of shape, with a shooting rate of only 24.4%, in fact, Tatum, Brown, and Irving only had a three-point shooting rate of more than 20 in the finals, so Doncic's data is understandable. However, Doncic is shooting only 58 percent from the free-throw line, which is too undeserved, and he has to practice more in the offseason. Secondly, Doncic still can't control his emotions in the game, he always likes to complain, which will also affect the rhythm of the whole team's game, as the leader of the team, Doncic's ability to lead the team also has room for improvement, and I look forward to him leading the Mavericks next year to rise to the heights of this season.
