Chapter 1580 1579. The Championship Is Back!

Just like the last game at the Suns' home court, today's home court of the Hawks was as star-studded as hundreds of celebrities, current players or their families came to watch the game. The tickets in the first few rows opposite the technical table were basically gone.

Price, the owner of the Eagles, felt really sick, but he felt better when he thought that he had already prepared before leaving for the away game to not have a home court, and the remaining tickets were earned.

Yesterday, the Eagles' vice president of logistics, Moron Willey, had prepared champagne and ribbons, waiting for the team to win the championship.

The atmosphere was also very frenetic.

However, after the game started, people discovered that the Suns did not just surrender, but played harder than before!

The 34-year-old Nash doesn't know if he still has a chance to reach the Finals. After all, he spent 12 years fighting with the Mavericks and Suns before reaching the Finals for the first time. He broke his nose in the last game. Let’s continue fighting in this game!

Fortunately, the Hawks still remember the humiliation of losing in last year's finals. Although the opponent is not this team, the Hawks do not want to have problems in the finals again, and their fighting spirit is not inferior to that of the Suns. They all want to win in the sixth game. Win the finals and avoid an accident in the seventh game.

It can be seen from the number of fouls and free throws of both teams in the first half that this was an atypical Hawks VS Suns. It seemed that the score of 59 to 55 was not much different from the previous five games. The Hawks led by 4 at halftime. point.

However, the Hawks committed 14 fouls late in the half, and the Suns committed 17 fouls in the half. The Hawks made 22 free throws in the first half, more free throws than in four of the previous five games. The Eagles got 25 free throws in Game 4.

The Suns also got 17 free throws in the half, and they made 14 of 17 free throws. Compared with the Eagles, who made 15 of 22 free throws, they were much more efficient in scoring free throws. O'Neal made 3 of 4 free throws.

But this time the Hawks did not make as many mistakes as they did in the away game. In addition to a few more fouls, they did a better job in personnel adjustments and containing the Suns' tactics than in the previous games.

In the second half, the physical confrontation between the two teams not only did not decrease, but became more intense.

Laga Bell's defense became more and more fierce. Liu Mang was not afraid to increase the ball-handling attack. Taking advantage of Laga Bell's defensive end, he began to lose his composure. Continuous singles caused fouls and went to the free throw line. !

The Eagles are all too familiar with opponents' uncool style of play. Every year in the playoffs, there will be opponents who play impulsively in at least two games in the last two games before elimination.

Today, Laga Bell defended harder, but he was also more impulsive. He committed three fouls in the first half, but Liu Mang seized the opportunity and committed two fouls in the third quarter!

In the fourth minute of the third quarter, Raja Bell committed five fouls, and Suns head coach Gentry had to replace him.

But... without Raja Bell, James Posey was used to trade Jason Richardson to enhance the three-point firepower of the position. The Suns have no outside player who can put pressure on Liu Mang!

In the middle of the third quarter, Liu Mang scored 9 points in a row, helping the Eagles open the score to 77-62 in one fell swoop, establishing a 15-point lead!

By the eleventh minute of the third quarter, Liu Mang had already scored 35 points in the third quarter!

However, the scariest thing about this game for the Suns was not Liu Mang, who accounted for nearly half of the Hawks' points at the end of the third quarter. It's not Wade and McGrady who almost cried on the defensive end when they guarded Jason Richardson and Barbosa.

Jason Terry is basically paddling in this finals. He is an amazing person. When the team has an advantage, it seems that he has many things to do.

Kwame Brown, Marion, O'Neal Jr., Scola, Brad Miller, Gasol, and Gortat are the seven major insiders. Their main role is to cooperate with the opponent's Josh Smith, O'Neal, Double Thomas and other insiders. He was stuck on defense, and the power forward who could shoot on the offensive end was trying to contain Josh Smith. The statistics were really not that good, but Kwame Brown could occasionally be tough.

The most dazzling player in the sixth game is Rajon Rondo, a second-year player!

When the point difference widened to 15 points, Rondo already had 8 points, 11 rebounds and 14 assists!

In this kind of game full of confrontation, Rondo played with ease!

In this game, Nash, who faced off against Rondo, was not as bright as Rondo!

At the end of three quarters, the Eagles were 83 to 68, and the Eagles still led the Suns by 15 points.

After the start of the fourth quarter, the Suns sent out a star-studded lineup of Nash, Calderon, Raja Bell, Jason Richardson, and Josh Smith to start shooting wildly. Want to chase points.

The Eagles promptly replaced the lineup of Rondo, Liu Mang, Wade, McGrady, and Kwame Brown to deal with it.

Nash really wanted to create a glimmer of hope in this desperate situation. However, in the fourth quarter of a game full of confrontations, the outside shots on both sides were inaccurate!

The Eagles' four perimeter players are all very capable of breaking out. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Suns' wild shots not only failed to narrow the point difference, but instead the Eagles opened the point difference to 25 points!

When the official timeout came in the fourth quarter, the Hawks led the Suns by 25 points, 99-74!

When the score difference is 15 points, there may still be suspense. When the score difference widens to 25 points, there is basically no hope.

In the two games the Suns won, they had used up all their cards, and even their luck!

After Nash played for more than three minutes in the fourth quarter, he began to rush inside with all his strength, but the lethality was average, and Rondo defended very well. Nash, whose nose was bloody again, gave Rondo several assists. board.

In the end, thanks to Rondo’s 11 points, 14 rebounds and 19 assists, Liu Mang’s 41 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 blocks, Tracy McGrady’s 16 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 steals, Wade’s 9 points, 6 rebounds and 1 block, Kwame- Brown's 13 points and 10 rebounds... and Terry's 2 of 12... the Hawks beat the Suns 113-91!

The final whistle sounded and the scene exploded instantly!

However, Nash fought so hard that his nose spurted blood, and the field was stained with blood. He also received a lot of applause in the fourth quarter, of course, after the Eagles had already secured the victory.

Accompanied by flying ribbons, Grant Hill crying while holding a basketball, the back of 34-year-old Nash walking into the tunnel with the support of Josh Smith, and the crazy carnival at the scene, the Eagles players hugged each other and went crazy. A year later, the Hawks defeated the Suns 4-2 in the finals and won the championship again!

Unlike Duncan who specifically stayed to watch the awards, all the Suns players left.

In fact, the Hawks have faced a total of three opponents in the five finals. It is rare to see someone as different as Duncan. When the Lakers and Hawks lost in the finals, they would not stay to watch the other side win the award. This time the Suns Likewise, even Calderon and Josh Smith desperately wanted to defeat their old team.

The carnival at the scene temporarily came to an end under the guidance of the staff. David Stern, Bill Russell, who had been to Phoenix in the previous game, and the hostess carrying two trophies entered the stadium.

It was a joy when David Stern came out, and the ratings for this year's finals were simply a miracle!

The six-game scoring battle between the Hawks and the Suns was a win-win and a win-win game, and it was fun to watch. Although it was a "non-mainstream" finals, the ratings were king!

After the scene fell silent, David Stern took the microphone and began to read the card: "Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of the NBA 2007-2008 season championship is...the Atlanta Hawks!"

David Stern handed the trophy to Grant Hill, who was standing at the front.

This is already the tradition of the Eagles. Letting the oldest veteran win the cup first can be regarded as a "magic weapon" to attract powerful veterans.

After the O'Brien Cup passed through the hands of each player, Bill Russell stepped forward and David Stern continued to announce the award: "The winner of the NBA 2007-2008 Finals MVP... You guessed it right. , it’s still him, our five-time Finals MVPliumang!”

The league didn't cause any trouble this time. Liu Mang scored 40 points twice in this finals and deserved it!

David Stern picked up the Bill Russell Cup from the tray held by the hostess, then handed it to Bill Russell, who then handed it to Liu Mang.

Liu Mang was already very calm when he received the trophy. He averaged 32.1 points, 4.8 rebounds, 7 assists, 0.8 steals and 2 blocks per game, and won the Finals MVP for five consecutive years!
