When the whistle blew at the end of the game, Chamberlain sat on the bench panting heavily, his eyes glazed over the floor, huddled on the bench like a helpless child, and said nothing.

The Stamps Center Court turned into a sea of joy, the fans threw the fries and popcorn in their hands, Kobe Bryant's No. 24 purple and gold jersey flew in the air, everyone was cheering to the fullest, and the cheers gathered together into one sentence:

“KB，MVP！”

Chamberlain's heart seemed to be a mess, he didn't know what he was thinking, but he felt very lonely, as if he was alone between heaven and earth, standing alone on the vast land, looking forward and backward, left and right, there was nothing but the desolate land.

Having lost everything, this is how Chamberlain feels now.

Jackson didn't feel good either, the Western Conference Finals, they were one step away from entering the Finals, and they could create a legend, but in the end, this legendary dream was still shattered, but he was the boss of the team, and he had to stand up at this time, he comforted a few people around him, and planned to comfort Chamberlain.

Billups grabbed Jackson and sighed in a low voice, "Let Z calm down, he doesn't need comfort, what he needs is to accept it all, in his career, this will always happen, he has to learn to accept failure." ”

Chamberlain heard Billups' words, he thought that he was not a person who could not afford to lose, he was just unwilling, and he did not understand, why would they lose four games in a row? He felt that the scene of the first win of the Western Conference Finals was behind him, as if he had just played the first game of the Western Conference Finals yesterday, why did all of a sudden the whole series end?

Why was he suddenly eliminated? That's what he can't accept!

Chamberlain thought he did his best, his teammates did their best, everyone did their best, and why would they still lose? They played well, even better than against the Spurs, and in these games, except for the fourth game that was blown off the court by two T's, Chamberlain averaged 26 points and 18 points per game. 4 rebounds, 6 blocks, why are they still going to lose?

Chamberlain felt that he had lost in vain, yes, in vain!

A delicate figure sat next to him, and the familiar scent entered Chamberlain's nose, and he didn't need to look at him to know that this was Winnie.

Winnie looked at Chamberlain softly, pulled his arm and said, "The game is over, Z, it's time for us to go back to the locker room." ”

Chamberlain looked around blankly, and what he saw was the Lakers' purple and gold jerseys fluttering around, seeing Magic Johnson coming to the scene to stand with Kobe Bryant and talking and laughing, and seeing the Warriors fans leaving the court gloomily.

Winnie reached out and pulled Chamberlain into the players' tunnel, and he didn't know where he was going the whole time, and he would go in whichever direction Winnie pulled him, like a calf.

When she arrived at the locker room, Winnie said lightly to Chamberlain: "This season is over, Z, prepare for the Olympics and next season, next season we will go further, you will become stronger!" ”

Chamberlain looked at Winnie in a daze, and then suddenly hugged her, and then lay on Winnie's shoulder and began to cry inexplicably, he didn't know why he had this kind of reaction for Lang, that is, he felt aggrieved in his heart, he felt that he should be able to win this series, it was the referee who ruined all this, it may be so, all in all, he had an inexplicable grievance in his heart to vent.

Winnie was hugged by Chamberlain, the original soft delicate body suddenly became extremely stiff, and she slowly relaxed after the last, she hugged Chamberlain with her backhand, slapped Chamberlain's back with her little hand and sighed: "Okay, cry, there is no one else here, you cry, this is the professional league!" ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the door to the locker room suddenly opened, and a sullen West appeared in the doorway.

Seeing Chamberlain hugging Winnie and twitching vigorously, West was startled, am I damned? Brother, did you?

Winnie looked at him with a grim gaze that could kill an elephant, and without saying a word, West exited the locker room and closed the door with the quickest and gentler movements.

Outside the door, Jackson and the others had just returned, and they were swearing and shouting against the unfair referees, the opponents who made the tricks, the Staples Arena, and in short, they were shouting everything that could lead to their defeat, and they came back in a bustling manner.

Jackson wanted to go back to the locker room, but West stopped him and suggested, "Boss Jack, you won't want to go in, trust me, it's a special situation inside." ”

Jackson glared and roared, "Why don't I want to go in?" Damn, did the Angelenos turn off the air conditioning in our locker room? ”

That's what they've done to toss the San Antonio Spurs.

West shrugged his shoulders and let go of the body blocking the doorway, he pushed open the door with a blank face, and Jackson looked in.

Like West before, Jackson only looked at it for a second and immediately retracted his head, with an embarrassed expression on his face.

Barnes and the others stared at him with wide eyes and asked, "What's the matter, buddy?" Do you see the fucking ghosts? Even if you see a ghost, it's nothing, are you? ”

Jackson said unconvinced: "Am I timid? What are you kidding, Winnie is in there! ”

"So what?" Billups asked depressedly, and the others began to heckle, and Ellis laughed, "Boss Jack is afraid of Winnie." ”

The Warriors players were afraid of Winnie, the ruthless princess party, but none of them were willing to admit it, Jackson rolled his eyes, and found a reason, pretending to blink mysteriously and whispered: "Not only Winnie is inside, Z is also inside, do you know what they are doing?" ”

Everyone was taken aback, and Azubuk said in disbelief: "No, is this bastard daytime prostituting himself in the locker room?!" ”

Barnes shook his lower body and made a piston movement, Jackson snorted coldly and didn't speak, others thought this was the answer, so they began to denounce Chamberlain with envy: Winnie's beauty and sexiness are ranked first in the Warriors, and those cheerleading girls don't even have half of her, to say that these hormone-overproducing bastards have no illusions about her, that's bullshit.

Jackson shrugged and said, "You guys know what I'm embarrassed to watch now, right?" And Z is our brother, how can you have bad thoughts about our brother and daughter-in-law? Anyway, Winnie's legs are so long, alas, it's a pity that she doesn't like to wear a jersey, otherwise it must be very cool! ”

This is the end of the Western Conference Finals, and then the Finals will be played in early June.

This time the two sides in the finals are the Lakers and the Celtics.

As the saying goes, the two teams have won a total of 31 championships, including 16 for the Celtics and 15 for the Lakers. The Lakers and Celtics have faced each other a total of 11 times in the history of the NBA Finals, and the Green Shirts have won nine of them.

The Purple and Gold's most recent victory over the Celtics in the Finals series was back in 1986-1987, and the Celtics are the favorites for this year's championship, both seasonally and historically.

But the Lakers aren't without a chance.

The Celtics' playoff journey was favored by everyone, and even many people expected them to reach the Finals with 12 consecutive wins, but they played seven games with the eighth-eighth Hawks in the first round of the playoffs, and then until the Eastern Conference Finals against the Cavaliers, the Celtics' playoffs have been stumbling all the way, in contrast, the Lakers have shown stronger fighting power in the playoffs, especially the 4-1 solution to the Warriors, which is widely praised, of course, if you remove the bias of the referee, Their victory will bring even more glory.

The mediocre performance of the Big Three in the playoffs has led many experts to predict that the game against the Cavaliers will be the end of their playoffs this season, but their performance has surprised the experts, who have said that the elimination of the Cavaliers is only due to James' injury and internal conflicts within the Cavaliers.

But all in all, there are still a lot of people who are optimistic about the Lakers now, and there are many reasons, first of all, physical fitness.

Entering the Finals, the Celtics played 20 games, five more than the Lakers, and this should be the most unfavorable link for the Green Shirts. Indeed, in Game 6 of the elimination of the Pistons, Pierce fell to the ground in the final quarter and couldn't get up for a while, which should show the fatigue of the giants. Even if Rivers has been emphasizing the use of the Big Three in rotation, the fatigue will be unprecedented for Garnett, Pierce and Ray Allen, who have never extended a season for so long in their careers.

In the post-game interview before eliminating the Warriors, Kobe Bryant's attitude was "used to this, nothing new", while the Celtics in another place were excitedly hugging and jumping, and Garnett also gave a statement that "it feels absurd". The mentality of the two sides is very different, and it should be able to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages here, and maintain a calm mind, which has always been the key to withstanding the test of the big scene. But we can't say that the excitement of the Celtics is necessarily a concern, and the Big Three don't just want the Eastern Conference championship, they want to be safe, they want to keep the freshness to the finish line.

Mindset needs to be in control to distinguish between the pros and cons. In fact, there is also an experience link in this, which the Lakers absolutely have an advantage, Kobe Bryant needless to say, Fisher belongs to the playoffs old fritters, and Gasol also has the peak feeling of World Championship MVP; The Big Three are absolute "debuts", can they dominate Rondo and Perkins? Perhaps the first thing to do is to confirm whether the Big Three can integrate smoothly.

The Green Shirts have the advantage of the strength of the Big Three, but experts and fans who value the Lakers believe that it is unnecessary to judge whether the combined combat power of Kobe, Gasol and Odom can be compared to the "big three", saying that it should not be speculation between the two players, and the most important thing is that the game is not a three-on-three bullfight, but a five-man game.

Overall, the Lakers have a certain advantage, and even if the youngsters will hold Kobe Bryant back when they understand the triangle offense, the Lakers have left us with a more harmonious impression in the playoffs. And the Celtics, more often than not, have to rely on a certain individual to save the situation, in the overall organization, from time to time stumbling, you can't blame Rondo for being young, Kassel is not rising, in the final analysis, the overall quality is not fully in place.

But the result? The result was a brilliant performance by the Green Shirts that gave all the forecasters a resounding slap in the face.

4-2, on June 18, 2008, the Celtics defeated the Lakers with a score of 4-2, winning their 17th championship in history, and this time to win the championship, it has been 22 years since they last won the championship!

The combination of Garnett and Parsons blew up the Lakers' interior line, Bynum and Gasol were incredibly weak, Chamberlain watched the two being beaten like that in the Finals, and muttered vigorously 'Plans are in the sky', if these two Birdmen play like this in the Western Conference Finals, how can it be the Lakers' turn to advance?

But these things have nothing to do with them, he needs to prepare for the draft arranged by the team. The new year's draft marks the arrival of a new season, the 2007-08 season, which is completely over, and from the next game, Chamberlain can call others rookies.
