Chapter 670: We Are the Champions
"Beautiful air cut, Duncan has appeared a lot in the high post in this game, it seems that Jermaine O'Neal makes him very uncomfortable defending him, if he stays in the low post to play, it will make his offensive efficiency decrease, but this is also the characteristic of Tim Duncan, in the NBA, the only interior line who can have such a comprehensive ability as him is Garnett of the Timberwolves, even Jermaine opposite him is a little worse, beautiful dunk, Duncan received Parker's pass smoothly, and leaning on Jermaine O'Neal under the basket is a one-handed split, Today's game was a lot more dunks than ever."
"Arenas is against Parker again, Parker's performance in this game is a little surprising, in the previous games, the Spurs' leading guard has been subconsciously avoiding Arenas, but now, the French defender has begun to seek physical contact with Arenas, and even in the first half, the defender and his teammate Rose hugged Arenas together, good ball, and this kind of bulldozer-style dribbling after a crotch, although Parker is already willing to fight against Arenas, But obviously, the two are still not at the same level for now, especially in terms of body, Arenas is too strong, but unfortunately Arenas, who leaned on Parker's mid-range shot, did not score, but it still caused a foul, Parker's performance in this game is already very mature, but this kind of defensive experience still needs to be strengthened, and the defensive position also needs to be improved, maybe after this Finals, Vicky still needs to do a lot, and this year's Spurs are good enough, If Parker can mature a little more and not be beaten so badly by Arenas, this team may really be able to beat the Boston Celtics, if this team wants to go further, just having a Duncan is not enough, Scola and Parker must step up, especially after this season, Pippen and David Robinson will retire, this Spurs also need to get back on the road, but in terms of the strength of this team, this team already has enough strength, maybe this year, They were defeated by the Boston Celtics, but their future is still bright, and perhaps when Parker solves his problems and matures, we may see this team on the Finals stage, and maybe even this team will eventually win the championship. ,!”
"Eric Williams hasn't given up on his last push yet, and he's really been out in this series, for the former Boston Celtics player. The most painful thing was to lose his first Finals at North Shore Gardens, and perhaps for him, he would have had the opportunity to stand on the NBA's highest stage with the Boston Celtics and Coach Z, but now it seems that it may never be possible, and he is the second-best player in the Spurs in this series. Whether it's averaging 12 points per game on the offensive end, or constantly helping Pippen defend Maddie on the defensive end, or defending James Posey alone. He's been playing well, he's one of the best role players in the NBA, and maybe after this series, Vicky could consider giving him a good contract extension."
This is the last game of this year's NBA, although this game is not over, but the outcome is basically clear, after the Spurs after the crazy defense of the first half of the game, the team was once again opened up by the Boston Celtics at the beginning of the second half, in the third quarter, Yao Ming and Maddy and Arenas's offensive end to the team was too bad, although Yao Ming was beaten by Duncan when the third quarter was almost over, but at this time, The Boston Celtics have stretched the difference to 18 points, and Yao Ming can also sit on the bench safely, because according to the current comparison between the two teams, there is only one quarter, and the Spurs need to chase 18 points, which is impossible, not to mention that this team is chasing points, in the first three quarters of the game today, even if this team leads the Boston Celtics in a single quarter, there is no life, and in fact, O'Neal Jr. After replacing Yao Ming, although the Boston Celtics are a lot worse on the offensive end, But on the defensive end, it has risen, so in this case, it is still very difficult for the Spurs to turn over the score, and in fact, in the fourth quarter, the Spurs still retained the lineup and played on the court for 4 minutes, and the score was officially pulled to 2O points, and when the score of this game reached 2O points, TNT's commentator Kenny Smith also said the above paragraph, and at this time, the broadcast camera also began to broadcast for the Spurs. At this time, Kenny Smith is also saying the final elegy for the champion of the West, and this team is already certain to lose.
"Originally, I thought this game was an absolute close game, although the Boston Celtics have the advantage, but the Spurs will still fight with all their might, and in fact, the Spurs are indeed fighting with all their might, whether it is defense or offense, this team has become more aggressive, if this game Bavita will be a little stricter in the scale of fouls, this Spurs have at least four people sent off in this game, but what is helpless is that even if they have done their best, But the gap between them and the Boston Celtics is a bit big, especially on the defensive end, they have no way to solve the Boston Celtics' 1-4 tactics, just like when the No. 5 tactic was born in the 2oo2 All-Star Game, when Van Gundy was also at a loss, for ** Vic, he naturally can't be compared to Van Gundy, but he strengthens the defensive aggression like this, although he can make the Boston Celtics' offensive players feel more pressure, But in essence, there is still no way to control the Boston Celtics' offense, maybe after this Finals, the Spurs' meritorious coach needs to start studying the new tactical system of Coach Z and the Boston Celtics again, maybe he can find a way"
"The Boston Celtics players on the court now look relaxed, and this game is over for them, but the Spurs haven't given up and they have to stay on the court. Jermaine O'Neal, James Posey, Stephen Jackson, Tracy Maddy, Gilbert Arenas, these are the top five players in this round series for the Boston Celtics. In this series, before this game, among the five players of the Boston Celtics, except for Jermaine O'Neal, who did not play more than 4o minutes per game due to foul reasons, the other four outside players played an average of more than 4o minutes per game. These four men are the four most consistent and outstanding performances of the Boston Celtics in this Finals, especially with other young players constantly having problems, these people lifted the Boston Celtics and supported the Boston Celtics victory. Especially the team's two outside cores, Arenas and Maddy, if the league has selected the most surprising and surprising players in the last two years, then Maddie can definitely make the list. He was already a star player a long time ago. He was an All-Star when he was a Raptor, but whether it was in the Raptors or the Boston Celtics, the small forward has always been considered an extremely selfish player, maybe the fans like him, but no coach will like him, but just after two seasons, the Boston Celtics star has become one of the league's best playmakers, after Carter has focused more on scoring this season, The Boston Celtics star became the only player to average 25+8 per game during the regular season. In this year's playoffs, the Boston Celtics' leading player played a quasi-triple-double of 27 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists per game, even in the finals of defensive intensity and confrontation intensity, the Boston Celtics small forward still maintained 25+7+8 data, and in this game, the player who has played 4o minutes has scored 24 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists. There is no doubt that his consistent performance is:
The cornerstone of the Boston Celtics can keep moving forward, his role is the same as Duncan on the opposite side of the Spurs, and unlike the Spurs, the Boston Celtics not only have a cornerstone like Maddie, but also another cornerstone that continues to create a variety of colors on the cornerstone, if you say the last two years. Maddy's transformation from a selfish to a selfless is an amazing thing, but Arenas, a sophomore, has been miraculous in these two seasons, as the only player in the league to average 20 points per game in the regular season as a substitute has maintained his magic in the playoffs, and even further. Whether averaging 26 points per game in the playoffs or nearing 28 points per game in the Finals, the Boston Celtics backup guard made fools to everyone who mocked him and Coach Z in the 201 draft, and in fact he will be one of the best guards in the league at the end of the season.
"Of course, this season has been great and great enough for Maddy and Arenas, and no matter who ends up in the best of the best of the best, it won't take away from the contributions of the other man, who have been together for one of the best in NBA history this season, and who will live forever in the memory of Boston Celtics fans."
Kenny Smith was a little melancholy at this time, in fact, for him, today's game or many things in this round of the Finals did not calm him, whether it was the strength of the Boston Celtics at the beginning of the Finals, or the pain of being forced into a dead corner by the Spurs, and then the invincibility that rose again, it can be said that this year's Finals is definitely one of the most exciting in recent years, perhaps not inferior to last year's Grizzlies and Lakers Finals, or even stronger at the tactical level, And in this round of the series, he witnessed the growth of the Boston Celtics, especially when he recalled that this year, when the Boston Celtics played the 76ers in the first round, the Heat in the second round, and the Grizzlies in the Eastern Conference Finals, this feeling made him even more profound, because in the Boston Celtics lineup, he could feel that whether it was Yao Ming or Maddy or Arenas or Haslem and other people were growing, this young Boston Celtics was growing all the time, It's a terrifying thing, and if you give this team a little time, will this team be another Timberwolves? Or is it a bull? No one knows.
As the game progressed, the time for this game was getting less and less, and when there were only 6 minutes left in the game, almost all the fans on the scene basically stood up, for them, after today's game, they can get back the championship trophy that they have been dreaming of for 17 years again, and after another six minutes, this team will once again stand at the peak of the NBA, just like the Cardinals, Russell and Larry Bird did for them, but at this time, The one who did such things for them became the Chinese.
"This is Coach Z's third championship trophy?" Barkley, who was in the commentary seat, looked around at the North Shore Garden, which had fallen into madness, and said with some emotion, for many people. To be able to win a championship in the NBA is enough to comfort his career, and in fact he himself is trying to win a championship, in his career he has wanted to win the O'Brien Cup more than once, but unfortunately, he has been passing by the last trophy, and in fact. Barkley also knows. For players of their level, it is much more difficult for them to win the championship than for role players, after all, it is difficult for them to constantly change teams at the peak of their careers, and in fact role players can do it, but with players, he also understands that it is more difficult for a coach to win the championship, and at this time, this Chinese has won three, almost becoming one of the most championship-winning head coaches in NBA history. Although Barkley is not jealous of Zhuang Fei. But the envy is still extremely strong.
"yes, this is the third championship of Coach Z's five-year NBA career, three championships in five years, two division finals, and he's played unbelievably and maybe give him time to become the most legendary head coach in the NBA. In the history of the NBA, the head coach who can lead different teams to win the championship is the second in addition to Alex Hannum, and Alex Hannum led the 76ers to win the championship in 1958 after it took 1o years to win the championship again in 1967 with the Hawks, and Coach Z only took 2 years, and the NBA at that time was only in the wild era, after entering 1986. Coach Z is the only one to have accomplished this accolade, and what is even more amazing is that he has always been able to lead his team to a win rate of more than 8o% in a single season over the course of five years, regardless of the lineup or team. This is a manager who is capable of creating any magic."
Kenny Smith also looked at the information in his hand after hearing Barkley's emotion, and said with great emotion, for him, he will not be as envious of Zhuang Fei's championship as Barkley, because he himself has a championship ring and more than one, but even so, the admiration for this Chinese is not less. In fact, all this Chinese has done is indeed worthy of everyone's worship.
"Now there are 2 minutes left in the game, the Spurs finally called a timeout, it looks like they are ready to replace all their main players, this team has done its best, but in the end it is still a little bit close, for all fans, this team and the Boston Celtics have brought great joy to everyone, although in this fight, ** Vic finally lost to Coach Z, but the Spurs head coach in the game caused Coach Z the most trouble. It's a great manager, even if he fails in the end."
"Now the whole stadium has burst into cheers, and the Boston Celtics fans all stood up and shouted the name of the team's head coach Zhuang Fei at this time, perhaps this is an absolutely memorable moment for the NBA, this is the NBA's head coach has once again become the protagonist of a team, and this is also Coach Z has conquered a team again after the Timberwolves"
"Well done"
"Coach we succeeded"
"We're the champions"
Zhuang Fei was almost a little excited when he watched his players come down from the court, his mood at this time was absolutely real, for him, even if he had won enough championships, but at this time, it was still like his first time, and the Boston Celtics players who came down from the court at this time were naturally the same. Even players like O'Neal Jr., who used to win the championship with Zhuang Fei, were all a little incoherent.
In fact, it is difficult for the Boston Celtics to calm down at this time, even after Zhuang Fei replaced all the substitute players after the pause, because the Celtics substitutes on the court were also extremely excited at this time, and they were constantly making mistakes on the court, but the Spurs didn't have much mind to play at this time.
And when the referee of this game, Bavita, blew the whistle for the end of the game, almost immediately, everyone on the Boston Celtics bench rushed into the court. Then there was only one sentence left in the mouths of these Boston Celtics players and the more than 20,000 Boston Celtics fans on the scene.
"We are the champions!!
Loud in the sky.
