In the 2004-05 season, the NBA situation changed, O'Neal traveled east to Miami and Wade to form a new Heat, which burned very vigorously and burned until the Eastern Conference Finals; The Raptors have sprung up, and the combination of Carter + Bosh + Okafor shows amazing combat effectiveness; Arenas began to become the league's strongest shooting guard, and this season he led the Wizards to the Eastern Conference semifinals, overpowering the lone gunner Kobe; Magic boss Hill has made a successful comeback and performed well, and if he can stay healthy, the league's second-best swingman will appear; The 03 golden generation began to emerge, and three people appeared on the All-Star in one fell swoop, and James, Milicic, Wade, Anthony, Bosh, Kaman, Hinrich and others have become the pillars of their respective teams, and the strength of these people has shifted the attention of fans from the 96 generation to the 03 generation......

There have been so many surprises for fans this season, but these surprises add up to no bigger surprise than the Bobcats. Especially the Charlotte fans, who have always felt like they're dreaming, their team - actually made it to the finals?!

It's not just as simple as reaching the Finals, but sweeping the No. 1 Heat team in the East! Since the start of the playoffs, many people expected the Bobcats to be tough, but no one expected them to be so strong!

In the first round of the playoffs, he swept the archrival Pacers; In the second round of the playoffs, he easily defeated the defending champion Pistons 4:1; In the third round of the playoffs, they once again swept the No. 1 Heat team in the East. The TV station and newspapers were full of news about the Bobcats, and the fans were dazzled. None of them could react:

Just accepted the fact that the Bobcats entered the playoffs as a rookie, and in the first round of the playoffs, the Bobcats had already swept away the Pacers; Just believing in the reality that the Pacers were eliminated, the defending champion Pistons have been cut down; In the back, it was the Heat team that was in the limelight this season that was shaved in shame and swept away......

In addition to the Bobcats fans, fans of other teams in the East couldn't help but howl when they saw this fact: "Ben. Wallace. I'm Ri Nyima! ”

Yes, all of this is due to Huaben, who averaged 37.6 points, 18.2 rebounds, 6.4 blocks and 5.5 assists per game in the playoffs. The average playing time per game is 44.5 points, how can such physical strength and efficiency make people decide?

Sports Weekly's sports columnist Al. Roma after watching the game. In his own section, he asked a question that many people are concerned about: "Who can stop Ben now. Wallace and his Lynx legion? ”

Spurs or Suns?

Fans in the West are looking forward to this result, and fans in the East are gloating, and it is time for your teams in the West to get a taste of this. Wallace's taste, let you talk hard 'the west is strong and the east is weak', weak your sister, there is a kind of season after you dare to say that the west is strong and the east is weak! What did the East fall after Jordan? Fall your sister, there is a guy here who is more terrifying than Jordan's lethality!

It took only thirteen games to reach the Finals, and the Bobcats were the first team to accomplish this feat since the 2003 playoffs were transformed into a best-of-seven system. Such terrifying combat power. How can it not be amazing?

Unlike the Bobcats, who were scrappy and murderous all the way, both the Spurs and Suns had a tough road to qualifying, and both teams never swept either opponent. Moreover, in the Western Conference Finals, the two teams are inseparable.

The first game was in Phoenix. The Suns defeated the Spurs and dragged down this defensive powerhouse with a fast pace; In the second game, it was still in Phoenix, but the Spurs restrained the Suns' attack with a tough defense and cut it down; The third and fourth games were both at San Anthony, and the Spurs were also one win and one loss. When the Bobcats had already qualified, the two teams played to a 2-2 draw. …,

On May 8, 2005, the battle between the Spurs and the Suns finally came to an end, relying on an impregnable defense, the Spurs finally won the qualification for the Finals on behalf of the West Coast, and since 2003, they have entered the Finals again. This is also Duncan's third time in the Finals, and the team has won the championship on the first two occasions, and no team has beaten the Spurs in the Finals.

Wajben deeply understands the horror of this team, and the current Spurs are in their prime, with Duncan in his prime among the team's three cores, Ginobili and Parker just maturing, and excellent role players such as Horry and Bowen. According to his memory, even in 2013, when he crossed over, no team could beat the Spurs in the finals, and as long as the Spurs reached the finals, the O'Brien Cup would definitely be taken away by them!

The other players of the Bobcats also know the difficulty of the Spurs, the two big games in the regular season, the first game they won by relying on Huaben's outburst, and the second time they suffered sniping, except for Huaben, everyone else played very poorly, and the Bobcats lost very badly.

The first game between the two was at the beginning of the regular season, and the Spurs are recognized as a slow-burning team, and the regular season often starts in a sluggish manner, and the further it goes, the more vigorous it becomes. The second game was after the All-Star break, when the Spurs had found their form and easily snuffed out the Bobcats.

Before the game, there was a heated debate among fans about the ownership of this year's championship, with the Spurs and Bobcats both having championship looks. The former has become a strong team in the league since Duncan was selected, from 97 to the present, with the development of these seven years, the Spurs have become a traditional powerhouse, Duncan has played steadily this season, Ginobili and Padin ushered in an explosion, and it should be no problem to win the championship.

But the Bobcats are also promising, and the league has not seen the murderous weight of this team! Since the playoffs, no team has ever caused them problems, and Charlotte fans even believe that the Spurs will also be swept away: can the Spurs' defense be as good as the Pistons? The Pistons only won one game, and it was no different from a sweep!

The Las Vegas betting center carefully calculated and placed the bet on the Spurs at odds of 1:1.2. After calculations, experts believe that the Bobcats played with momentum. In the first four games, they had a terrifying fighting power, but once they encountered setbacks, they had to play six games or even tie-breaks, and the strength of this team would drop dramatically.

In the end, the experts agreed that if the Bobcats couldn't sweep the Spurs, then they would end up being eliminated by the Spurs!

In the midst of all the buzz, May 11 arrived. At the AT&T Center in San Antonio, the first Finals game between the Spurs and the Bobcats was unveiled.

The AT&T Center is old, and it's decorated in the same style as the Spurs. Hard, silent and unpretentious, this is perfectly demonstrated in the visitors' dressing room, which is almost rudimentary. There is not even an air conditioner or an automatic water dispenser inside.

If in the past, the kittens of the Bobcats would have started howling a long time ago, but today no one complained. After the pre-match interviews, the players took their jerseys and looked left and right, not to see if there was a problem with the quality or number, but at the small O'Brien Cup logo sewn into the top left corner of the jersey.

The NBA Finals jersey is different from the usual jersey, and now, each jersey is sewn with a small golden O'Brien Cup logo. Moreover, after the finals. The jersey will also be embroidered with information about the owner to prove that he played in the finals of the year, all in all, it is a very memorable thing.

Rookies such as Martin, Iguodala, Allen and Dujon are grinning as they discuss how to treasure the O'Brien Cup jersey, while West and Anderson, the Good Brother Birdman, are arguing about the texture of the O'Brien Cup logo. Mourning is the most unbearable, holding the jersey and almost crying, this tough man, since he entered the league in 92, this season is the first time he has entered the finals .........,

Wang Zhizhi was also excited, and he said to Hua Ben: "I am the first Chinese to wear this jersey. ”

Battle won the championship with the Spurs in 2003. But he wasn't activated at the time, so he didn't have the opportunity to play in this shirt. Each team in the NBA has a roster of 15 players, but there are only 12 players per game, and the other three players are frozen.

With two teams in the game, Texas fans inherited the cowboy spirit of their ancestors, and it was quite wild. Spurs fans are especially crazy because their team is a strong team with an honorable tradition, so the Bobcats players are greatly cared for when they play.

Fortunately, the Bobcats players are used to it, and this playoffs have been a big training for them, whether it's in Indianapolis or Detroit, Michigan, the ball market atmosphere is quite hot.

The lineup of the Spurs is: center Nesterovich, power forward Tim. Duncan, small forward Bruce. Bowen, playmaker Tony. Parker, the shooting guard is Brent. Barry, Ginobili is still on the bench, he has become the strongest assassin on the Spurs, no one knows when he will be on the bench, just like no one knows when he will be assassinated by the assassins.

The Bobcats' lineup is: center Memet. Oku, power forward Huaben, small forward Gerrard. Wallace, playmaking guard Pattin, shooting guard Tony. Alan. Jordan also put a ruthless man on the bench, that is, the impact of Iguodala.

The Eastern Conference Finals made Allen, and his successful blockade of Wade made his reputation as an "outside finisher" begin to shine around the league, and Jordan put him on the court to limit Parker. Counting on Padin to defend Parker, it is better to hope that Parker himself has broken his foot and played abnormally.

Coincidentally, both sides are big forwards who stand on the midfield line and are ready to jump the ball. It was clear that both teams were very serious about the ball in the first game.

Wabbon and Duncan stood together, the difference in height was somewhat significant, but no one dared to underestimate him because of his bounce speed, his bounce and his consciousness.

Wabeen didn't underestimate himself, but when the head coach tossed the ball, he realized that he underestimated his opponent. Duncan's bounce and explosiveness are not mediocre as the footage shows, and in this Grand Finals, it was all on perfect display, and as soon as the ball reached the top, he flew like a spring!

The two jumped almost at the same time, but Duncan had a greater advantage in height and reach, and as a result, Wabben lost the precious ball.

Spurs guard Tony. Parker got the ball, the referee blew the whistle, all right, dear viewers, the 2004-05 season finals are officially open! (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
