One Thousand and Thirty-Six. Endless Desire!
Originally, there was no suspense in the finals. People's attention was on whether the Grizzlies could sweep the championship. The highlights disappeared after the Grizzlies crushed the 76ers in the third game and made the score 3-0.
However, there was no highlights, and the Grizzlies created highlights!
This is completely challenging the opponent's psychological limit!
The creative hairstyle of Master Sun at the village head... Even if Americans are more tolerant of strange styles, tolerance means that there are actually emotions that are not used to it, so the word tolerance is used instead of appreciation.
This group of monster-like styles really makes people want to beat them up!
The two emperors are used to it, so they can accept it, but others really can't accept it, especially Nash's gradient hairstyle!
The Grizzlies seem to have "floated" before the finals are over, which makes the fans in front of the TV and on the scene who don't want to see the Grizzlies win the championship happy. Will this stimulate the 76ers and cause some unexpected situations?
0-3 comeback... Although it has never happened in NBA history, what if it happens?
However, after the game started, the fans' expectations were dashed.
The 76ers not only did not fight back after being despised by the opponent, but seemed to be frightened by the Grizzlies' players with outstanding hairstyles, and they played randomly at the beginning.
The calmer Evans and Iguodala wanted to cooperate, but the other players had no intention of fighting and just wanted to finish this devastating finals as soon as possible.
Especially on the defensive end, Howard seemed to have more blocks and rebounds, scoring 5 points and 2 blocks in the first quarter, but the defensive effect was not as good as the first three games. The Grizzlies scored 31 to 15 in a single quarter!
Although Sun Ce was blocked by Howard once in the first quarter, Howard did not block Sun Ce's 3 baseline hooks. Howard chose to stay under the basket to get the rebound.
In the first quarter, Sun Ce made 1 of 1 mid-range shots, 2 of 3 hook shots from the right baseline, 1 of 2 layups, 1 of 3 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 13 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 block in a single quarter, helping the Grizzlies to establish a 16-point lead in the first quarter!
Fans watching the game found that the Grizzlies were not as arrogant as they imagined. The hairstyle was unacceptable. The style was like watching a street performance with poor costumes and makeup. But they played very hard, and they were very desperate on offense and defense. They just let themselves go in terms of hairstyle, but they did not slack off!
Just like the last game of the finals between the Celtics and the Lakers in the 07-08 season,
Tonight, the Grizzlies had an absolute advantage like the Celtics, and the 76ers had no fighting spirit at all like the Lakers.
In the second quarter, the 76ers scored a lot more than in the first quarter, scoring 22, but the defense was still bad. The Grizzlies scored 20 points in the second quarter, and Paul George made 4 three-pointers in this quarter!
After the first half, the score difference became 24 points, the same as Paul George's jersey number. The Grizzlies led 61 to 37, and the game became garbage time in the first half!
Sun Ce, who played 17 minutes in the first half and scored 16 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks, did not play in the second half. Nash and Neil took turns to play in the second half. Randolph, Gasol and Tony Allen did not play much in the second half, so Klay Thompson, Paul George, the two emperors, Jimmy who replaced Aaron Gray and entered the activation list, and Lewis who replaced Battier and entered the activation list all played.
There were no accidents. The Grizzlies did not abuse the Lakers by more than 40 points like the Celtics and the Lakers, and the score difference was always hovering in the early 20 points.
The Grizzlies did not fight the 76ers to death, and the 76ers did not have the fighting spirit to seize the opportunity to counterattack.
In the second half, the Grizzlies and the 76ers played a halftime score of 58 to 60. In the end, with Paul George's career-high 25 points in the playoffs, Nash's 17 points and 14 assists, Klay Thompson's 15 points, Sun Ce's 17 points, and Randolph's 22 points... The Grizzlies easily defeated the 76ers 119 to 97, sweeping the 76ers 4 to 0!
...
When the final whistle sounded, Nash, who was still on the court at the last moment, couldn't help but shed tears, and the director also cut the camera facing Nash to the big screen.
This scene made the 76ers fans who wanted to leave directly after the game stop.
Nash was not as crazy as when he defeated the Lakers and entered the finals for the first time. He cried bitterly that time, and the scene became a famous scene in the history of the Western Conference Finals along with them ending Kobe's undefeated record in the Western Conference Finals.
But this time, Nash felt calmer than he thought. He couldn't suppress his joy. He couldn't control his emotions since he was substituted in the last 4 minutes. When the final whistle sounded and the Grizzlies won the fourth game of the finals, tears suddenly flowed out.
But he didn't celebrate like crazy last time. Instead, he just held the ball that he had just used up the last few seconds and didn't pass or shoot.
This scene made the fans at the scene spontaneously applaud. Nash finally won the championship!
Admittedly, Nash doesn't have a huge fan base like Kobe, nor has he been established as a national basketball face like James. He can't compare with Sun Ce who has been constantly breaking NBA records since the beginning of his career.
However, Nash still represents a period of youth!
Fans have seen everything Nash has done for the championship. In this finals, Nash has changed from a passer to a scorer. On the defensive end, he also worked hard to keep up with the opponent's catcher and pitcher, averaging 16.5 points per game in 4 games. Points, 4 assists, 2 rebounds and 1.25 steals, especially 26 points in the first game, helped the Grizzlies defend their first home court, and then started to crush the 76ers bit by bit.
In the past two days, the media and fans have conducted a lot of analysis and discussion on how the Grizzlies were able to play so hard from the first game to crushing them all the way to 3-0.
They found that even in those two home games, the Grizzlies did not have an absolute advantage. In the first game, if Sun Ce's defense hadn't exploded in the second half and Nash's shooting exploded, the Grizzlies might have lost!
In the second game, Howard was not calm and committed two consecutive offensive fouls, giving the Grizzlies a chance.
The third game was the real crushing game. Sun Ce had a crazy performance in the second half, scoring 5 times 5 in the whole game...
In the first three games where the two teams went all out, the Grizzlies could win. In addition to relying on Sun Ce, they also had Randolph, who averaged a stable 21 points per game; the defensive end played 23-25 minutes in each game, but in During this period, he played a very strong defense at the basket; Paul George, Klay Thompson, Battier's defense and three-pointers; Tony Allen led his teammates on the defensive end to play a more iron-blooded defense than the 76ers. …
Everyone played a role, including Nash. Nash won the championship at the age of 38. He did not average 2 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists in the finals like Payton, but played an important role in the finals like Kidd. effect!
Kobe, James, McGrady, Iverson, Wade and others who came to watch the game all came to the court to hug Nash and congratulate him.
Among them, Iverson was the most emotional. In his last year in the NBA, he joined the Spurs and played well, but the Spurs were beaten in the second round and failed to win the championship like Nash.
And seeing Nash win the championship at the home court of his old club, Iverson could only lament his fate...
…
It is very rare to win an away game, but nearly 80% of the fans at the scene did not leave. Most of the fans who left were 76ers fans who had left after the first half or during the third and fourth quarters, but the scene remained the same. There were close to 8,000 76ers fans left.
After the post-game interviews and interactions with the watching stars and celebrities, the staff signaled the Grizzlies players, coaching staff, and team management to come to the court for the award ceremony.
Sun Ce and his teammates were very excited and kept laughing and playing.
After a while, the finals MVP voting ended. David Stern and King of the Ring Russell came to the stadium with two hostesses and saw the O'Brien Cup and Russell Cup held by the hostesses. , there were cheers...and boos!
Although they wanted to see Nash win the cup with their own eyes, the 76ers fans who stayed at the scene still booed.
This is the last stand of 76ers fans.
Sun Ce's eyes are focused on the Finals MVP trophy. After four games, he averaged 23.5 points, 14.75 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 5.25 blocks and 2.25 steals per game!
"Ladies and gentlemen," David Stern began the award ceremony with his iconic smile: "Congratulations to the Memphis Grizzlies for winning the NBA 2011-2012 season championship!"
David Stern picked up the O'Brien Cup from the tray in the hand of the hostess. Nash was encouraged by his teammates to come to the front and took the championship trophy from David Stern, and then he and David Stern gave him a hug.
Nash originally thought he had calmed down, but when he received the O'Brien Cup, he couldn't help crying again...
Everyone raised the championship trophy, and finally it returned to Nash's hands. Nash held it and refused to let go.
Then came the finals MVP award. Sun Ce wanted to be reserved, but Randolph kicked his butt and was kicked directly to the front.
David Stern saw Sun Ce rushing out, smiled at Sun Ce, picked up the microphone and continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of the NBA 2011-2012 Season Finals Most Valuable Player is... Sun Ce!"
No suspense! In this finals, Sun Ce got a big triple-double, tied the single-game block record, won the first playoff 5 times 5 in NBA history... and won the finals MVP without any suspense!
David Stern picked up the Finals MVP trophy from the hostess, then bowed slightly to Russell as he had done for many years, and handed the Finals MVP trophy to Russell.
Russell walked up to Sun Ce again, shook hands with Sun Ce, said congratulations, and handed the Finals MVP trophy named after him to Sun Ce. At this time, Nash also handed over the O'Brien Cup. Got Sun Ce.
Amid the MVP calls mixed with boos at the scene, Sun Ce raised the championship and finals MVP trophies!
Sun Ce felt amazing at this moment, he really won the championship!
However, in addition to being excited and happy, he now feels a little more anxious... The feeling of winning the championship is so great that he can't imagine how he will feel if he does not win the championship next season. Someone else wins?
People's desires are endless. Holding two trophies, it was only the first time for Sun Ce to hold these two trophies, and he felt like he was addicted.
At this moment, Sun Ce understood why Jordan, Kobe, and Duncan wanted to win the next championship even though they had won so many championships!
