Another year of the "NBA Cup" finals has come to an end.

The Bucks defeated the Thunder by a big score to win the championship.

No, this tournament should be called the "Hamm Cup" from now on.

From the head coach of the Lakers to the assistant coach of the Bucks, Comrade Ham has never lost this game. His dominance in the NBA Cup is no less than that of James and Jordan.

It was 7-0 for two years in a row, and the magical "undefeated law" continues. As lucky as "Cephalosporin" is Torrien Prince, who switched to the Bucks as a player.

Since it's the NBA Cup Finals, the old rule is to talk about money first.

After all, for players, the biggest motivation is undoubtedly the bonus, as the letter says, if you can win the championship, many players will arrange a down payment on the house.

2024 NBA Cup prize details:

1. Champion: $514,970 per player ($500,000 last year). 2. Runner-up: $205988 per player ($200,000 last year).

3. Semifinals: $102994 per player ($100,000 last year). 4. Stop the quarterfinals, $51,497 per player ($50,000 last year).

That's a little higher than last year's "mid-season tournament".

One of the main reasons is that the league has found the sponsor father, the title sponsor, Emirates. The name "Mid-Season Tournament" will no longer be used.

The format is still the same.

A total of 30 teams in the league will be divided into six groups based on last season's rankings, with five teams in each group playing the group stage.

Each team will play one game against the other four teams in the group, divided into 2 home and 2 away. (Qualifiers)

After the qualifying round, the top team in the group will advance directly to the knockout round.

Of the 24 teams that did not qualify, the team with the best record in the East and West will hold a wild card and form a quarter-final against the top 6 teams in the group for the final knockout round.

A brief description of the Bucks and Thunder's path to advancement.

In the group stage, both teams were very strong.

The Thunder qualified for Group B in the West with a 3-1 record and a 45-point net difference as the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference.

The Bucks qualified for Group B in the East with a 4-0 record and a 50-point net difference as the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference.

In the quarterfinals, SGA scored 39 points on 15-of-23 shooting, eliminating the Mavericks with a big victory. And the Bucks, reversed the Magic to advance.

In the semifinals, the two youth armies faced off, and the Thunder, under the leadership of Alexander, were even better.

On the Bucks' side, the letter exploded with a quasi-triple-double of 32 points, 14 boards, 9 assists and 4 blocks, and Lillard also scored 25 points, 7 assists and delivered key steals to eliminate the Hawks.

The pinnacle matchup, which does not count towards the regular season record, was played in Las Vegas.

"As a kid, when you grow up, you're going to watch the Lakers vs. the Celtics on TV," Alexander said before the game. You'll watch the Heat play against the Cavaliers. You'll watch important matchups, you'll watch big matches, and you'll dream of being able to participate in them one day. ”

It may be that the group of children in the team has indeed never seen any big scenes, and after their dreams come true, their hands are "shaking".

In this game, OKC lost unjustly.

To sum it up in one word, it is aberration.

Two small pieces of data:

The Thunder shot 1-of-17 from three-point range in the half, 6 percent from the field.

The team scored just 14 points in the third quarter.

The fact that they were only one point behind at halftime shows that the team's overall defense is good, and they are also the team with the best defensive efficiency in the regular season.

However, this level of offense will not be able to win in the NBA world in 2024. It's all nonsense to talk about techniques and tactics, just just look at it and it's over.

The Thunder scored just 81 points in the game, playing with the Memphis Grizzlies 10 years ago.

The team is on the outside, 5-of-32.

On the other hand, the Bucks.

He took advantage of his size and athleticism to dominate offense and defense.

26+19+10, the hit rate of the old rule is more than 50%.

Lillard, the Thunder really everyone has a golden light in their eyes when they see Lee, and it's normal for the defensive end to be targeted.

However, Lillard's watch was not lost.

Plus, the thunder is really too iron...

Say a thousand words and ten thousand, and whoever gets Hamm wins the NBA Cup.

By the way, brothers, the Bucks won the NBA championship last time, and Ham is also on the team...
