From today on is the king

Chapter 1580 1579. The championship is back!

Just like the last game at the home court of the Suns, today the Eagles are star-studded at home. Hundreds of famous or active players or their family members came to watch the game, and almost all the tickets in the rows in front of the technical table were sold out.

The owner of the Eagles, Price, is in a lot of pain, but he feels better when he thinks that he has prepared for the absence of home games before leaving for the away game, and the remaining tickets are earned.

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

The atmosphere at the scene was also frenzied.

But after the game started, people found that the Suns didn't just catch up, 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 has fought with the Mavericks and Suns for 12 years before reaching the finals for the first time. He broke his nose in the last game. This game will continue to fight!
Fortunately, the Eagles still remember the humiliation of losing in the finals last year. Although the opponent was not this team, the Eagles did not want to have problems in the finals again.

It can be seen from the number of fouls and free throws made by the two teams in the first half that this is an atypical Eagles VS Suns. It seems that the score of 59 to 55 is not much different from the previous five games. The Eagles lead by 4 points at halftime.

But the Eagles made 14 fouls late at halftime, and the Suns had 17 fouls at halftime. The Eagles made 22 free throws in the first half, which was more than the full-court free throws in four of the first five games.

太阳队那边也在半场就拿到了17次罚球，而且17罚14中，比起老鹰队22罚15中, 在罚球得分方面的效率高多了，奥尼尔都4罚3中。

But this time the Eagles did not make as many mistakes as they did in the away game. Except for a little more fouls, personnel adjustments and containment of the Suns' tactics were better than in previous games.

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

Raja Bell's defense is also getting more and more fierce. Liu Mang is not afraid to increase his offense with the ball. Taking advantage of the fact that Raja Bell's defensive end has become less calm, consecutive singles cause fouls and go to the free throw line!
The Eagles are too familiar with the opponent's uncalmness of play. Every year in the playoffs, there will be opponents who play impulsively in the last two games before they are on the verge of elimination.

Today Raja Bell defended harder, but he was also more impulsive. He fouled three times in the first half, but Liu Mang seized the opportunity to foul twice in the third quarter!

In the 4th minute of the third quarter, Raja Bell committed 5 fouls, and the Suns coach Gentry had to replace him.

But... without Raja Bell, James Posey was used to trade Jason Richardson to enhance the three-point firepower in positional warfare. The Suns have no outside line to put pressure on Liu Mang!

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

By the No. 11 minute of the third quarter, Liu Mang had scored 35 points in the third quarter!

However, the most frightening thing for the Suns in this game was not Liu Mang, who scored nearly half of the Eagles' points at the end of the three quarters.Nor is it Wade and Tracy McGrady who defended Jason Richardson and Barbosa to tears on the defensive end.

Jason Terry is basically paddling in the finals this time. He is amazing. When the team has an advantage, it seems that he has more dishes.

Kwame Brown, Marion, O'Neal Jr., Scola, Brad Miller, Gasol Jr., and Gortat are the seven insiders. They are mainly used to defend against Josh Smith, O'Neal, and Thomas.

The most dazzling game in the sixth game was Rajon Rondo, a second-year player!
When the point difference reached 15 points, Rondo had 8 points, 11 rebounds and 14 assists!
In this kind of game full of confrontation, Rondo played with ease!
In this game, Nash's light against Rondo was not as dazzling as Rondo!
At the end of the 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 Nash, Calderon, Raja Bell, Jason Richardson, and Josh Smith's one-star lineup to start shooting wildly, desperate to chase points.

The Eagles replaced Rondo, Liu Mang, Wade, McGrady, and Kwame Brown in a timely manner.

Nash very much wanted to create a glimmer of life in this desperate situation, but a game full of confrontation reached the fourth quarter, and the outside shots on both sides were not allowed!
The four perimeters of the Eagles are very capable. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Suns' wild shots not only failed to narrow the point difference, but the Eagles opened the point difference to 25 points!
By the time of the official timeout of the fourth quarter, the Eagles led the Suns by 99 points 74-25!
When the point difference is 15 points, there may be suspense. When the point difference reaches 25 points, there is basically no hope.

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

After playing for more than three minutes in the fourth quarter, Nash began to rush to the inside with all his might, but his lethality was mediocre, and Rondo's defense was particularly good. Nash, whose nose was bloodied again, gave Rondo several rebounds.

最终，靠着隆多的11分14板19助攻、刘莽的41分4板3助攻4盖帽，麦迪的16分4板3助攻4抢断，韦德的9分6板1盖帽，夸梅-布朗的13分10板……以及特里的12中2……老鹰队以113比91击败太阳队！
When the final whistle sounded, the scene exploded instantly!
However, Nash fought so hard that the bridge of his nose spurted blood, and the blood-stained field also received a lot of applause in the fourth quarter. Of course, it was after the Eagles had already secured the victory.

Accompanied by the flying ribbons, Grant Hill holding a basketball and crying bitterly, the back view of 34-year-old Nash walking towards the player tunnel with the support of Josh Smith, and the crazy carnival on the scene, the players of the Eagles hugged each other and celebrated wildly. After a lapse of one year, the Eagles beat the Suns 4-2 in the finals and won the championship again!
Unlike Duncan who deliberately stayed at the scene to watch the awards, the Suns players all left.

In fact, the Eagles have met three opponents in total in the 5 finals. Duncan is rare. When the Lakers and the Eagles lose the finals, they will not stay to watch each other win the award.

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

When David Stern came out, he was so happy. The ratings of this year's finals are simply a miracle!

The six games between the Eagles and the Suns were soaring points. There were winners and losers, and the games were good-looking. Although it was a "non-mainstream" finals, the ratings were king!
After the scene quieted down, David Stern took the microphone and began to read his hand 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 stood at the front.

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

After the O'Brien Cup passed through the hands of each player, Bill Russell took a step forward, and David Stern continued to announce the award: "The winner of the MVP of the NBA Finals in the 2007-2008 season...you guessed it right, it is him, our five-time Finals MVPliumang!"

This time the league didn't make any mistakes. Liu Mang's two 40+ points in the finals are well-deserved!
David Stern picked up the Bill Russell Cup from the tray in the hands of the hostess, then handed it to Bill Russell, and Bill Russell handed it to Liu Mang.

刘莽接过奖杯的时候已经很淡定了，场均32.1分4.8板7助攻0.8抢断2盖帽，连续五年拿到总决赛MVP！
