Chapter 136: When I Was Coronated, Famous Painting of the Century! (10,600 words of small chapters kneel and beg for subscriptions, monthly passes!) )

As a result of the merger between US West Airlines and US Airways, since 2006, the Sun's home stadium has been renamed from the original West West Airlines arena to the US Airways Center.

However, despite the change in the name of the arena, the "Wang Shuo Statue" standing outside the stadium of the US Aviation Center has long since become one of the landmarks of the city.

As the proudest and proudest moment of Phoenix residents in recent years, whenever there are foreign or foreign tourists visiting Phoenix, they will definitely strongly recommend these tourists to visit the US Airways Center arena, buy a Bethess "victory" ice cream there, and then listen to the tour guide explain to them that glorious history that belongs to the sun.

During the regular season, Knicks players visited here and visited another MCI center with a "statue of Wang Shuo."

However, compared with the regular season, when the finals came here again, all the Knicks players almost immediately felt the shock brought to them by the name "Legend".

On the sign at the entrance of the away team's locker room, I saw:

- "I come, I see, I conquer".

As a meritorious player who witnessed the Phoenix Nirvana in Phoenix with Wang Shuo, Robert Horry explained to everyone: "This is a slogan specially made by Jerry Colangelo, president of the American Basketball Association, after the leader led the Suns to win the championship that year.

Jerry said that as long as the slogan is there, the sun will always illuminate the city, as its name suggests. ”

On the side, Duncan said curiously: "I remember, there is a similar entrance sign in the MCI center. ”

Horry nodded and said, "The slogan of the MCI Center is 'Here, God can only come second, because the first belongs to Wang Shuo'. ”

Hearing this, even Duncan, who was accustomed to seeing the big world, couldn't help but gasp.

Usually, busy playing, few people pay attention to the details in these arenas.

But at this moment, with the blessing of the atmosphere of the finals, when all the Knicks players looked at Horry with a solemn expression, everyone inexplicably had a fanaticism called worship for Wang Shuo.

After smiling, Horry continued to shake the hearts of every Knicks player with his unremarkable description: "Allen used to say that whenever he felt lost on the court, whenever he turned his head to the bench and saw the head eating ice cream......

Then he will feel that he can beat every opponent.

Even if Michael Jordan comes, he is confident of scoring 50 points in front of Michael. ”

"By the way, during the finals, I would advise you not to use the showers in the Suns, because those showers don't have cold water, they are all piping hot water.

Also watch out for the corners, there may be some smelly socks left there by the sun crew at any time.

Trust me, you don't want to smell it, because the Pistons players who played with us in the Finals almost fought us on the court for it. ”

In the locker room, after listening to the story, change your equipment......

The players entered the arena one after another, ready to start warming up.

Then, everyone looked up and saw the championship flag fluttering in the wind on the dome, representing the highest honor of the NBA team.

It's a saga that belongs to the Phoenix Suns.

Every night, it reminds the Phoenix people who enter the arena and the neutral fans who enter the arena that the Phoenix Suns are the NBA champions of the 03/04 season.

So, every time the controlling Robert Savor walks into the arena, the world has no idea how broken his heart is.

Phoenix doesn't love him as a team owner.

Phoenix loves nothing but the legendary coach who has long since left this team.

At this moment, on the court, looking at Yao Ming, there was no need to say or communicate, and both Duncan and Yao Ming clenched their fists in the next second.

On the 13th, at 8:40 p.m., at the US Airways Center, the entrance ceremony for the G3 finals officially began.

When the man came out to the 140-decibel cheers of the home fans, even Suns head coach Steve Kerr respectfully led the Suns coaching staff to a round of applause for him.

Phoenix won't forget the city's heroes.

Because only cities that remember the names of their heroes will be immortalized in the long river of history.

On the live commentary booth of TNT TV, Charles Barkley, a famous Suns celebrity and Suns meritorious coach, stood up at the same time and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, please let us greet the greatest coach in the history of the Phoenix Suns, Wang Shuo, with the warmest applause and cheers——!! ”

At the Phoenix scene, Stern, who saw this scene, said to his assistant Mark next to him: "The NBA is a league of stars, but Wang is the exception. ”

In the history of the NBA, there has been no shortage of good coaches.

But even Auerbach is only available in Boston.

In Stern's view, in a sense, Wang Shuo has completed the transcendence of all his predecessors.

On the field, after the appearance ceremony, the two teams were revealed.

Knicks: Yao Ming, Duncan, Hill, Finley, Rondo.

Suns: Small, Marion, Dior, Bale, Iverson.

CCTV, Director Zhang explained: "The sun still has to find a way to let the main players rest for a while today."

With just a 6-man or 7-man rotation, they will definitely not be able to beat this 12-man Knicks. ”

In the center of the court, after the jump ball, the Suns attack first.

Rondo, who had learned the lessons of the previous game, put his hands behind his back as soon as he came up.

But at the moment when Iverson accelerated with the ball, Rondo still opened his arms in order to maintain his balance.

Iverson burst into the basket to give the Suns the lead.

Inside, Duncan and Yao Ming, who were in place, both gave each other a thumbs up after noticing that each other didn't make a block.

Same as against Wade before.

In this series, whether or not Iverson can be prevented is not the key to the Knicks' victory.

Beat Xiao Si is. (Xiao Si: First of all, I didn't mess with any of you!) )

The Knicks attacked, and Yao Ming made a wall for Rondo in the high post.

Generally, in this case, in order to maintain sufficient physical strength to impact the opponent's defense, Xiao Si will switch defenses with Marion, and reduce the loss he suffers when defending as much as possible by "suffering Marion a little harder".

But when he thought of switching defenses with Marion, he also had to face Duncan, and when he felt that his Yao brother floating on the outside was obviously his "true love".

At the same time, Bale, who noticed that Iverson was blocked by Yao Ming, also hurriedly completed the change of defense with Iverson at the first time.

But tonight, the aggressive Rondo suddenly closed the ball after stepping on the accelerator, and in the process of decelerating and then accelerating, he grabbed the ball with one hand, and used a gesture to pass the ball to Yao Ming through the back, and successfully played the stiffness of Xiao Si and Bale.

In front of the TV, Kobe Bryant, who was watching the game with Vanessa in his arms, was dumbfounded.

After stretching out his "big hands" and staring at them for a while, while holding the "ball" in both hands angrily, Kobe Bryant silently thought:

You are a small defender, why can you have such a big palm?

Cool fact, among the NBA's active players who are less than 190 cm tall, Rondo is the only player who can perfectly replicate Jordan's one-handed triple threat.

In Wang Shuo's previous life, Kobe Bryant's one-handed ball grabbing action on the court would have an obvious lifting and supporting action.

This is because the length of Kobe's palm is about 20 to 21 centimeters, and in high-intensity confrontations, Kobe Bryant has to ensure that the basketball does not fall accidentally and avoid embarrassment.

For Rondo, who has a palm length of about 25 centimeters, he doesn't need to use lifting and supporting to stabilize the basketball at all, because he can grab the ball with one hand, pick the ball on the spot with one hand, and eat ice cream with the other.

Of course, on the basketball court, the factors that determine whether an athlete can grasp the basketball steadily, in addition to the length of the palm, the width of the palm is also very important.

For example, the natural width of Boss Qiao's palm reached an astonishing 29 centimeters.

On the court, Rondo scored a layup to make it 2-2.

When retreating, he touched Duncan's big hand, and God knows how many centers over 210 cm in front of the TV were staring at Rondo's big hands in a daze at this moment.

No!

Are you a centre-forward or are we defenders?

Actually, just looking at the model, Rondo is really the perfect center-forward template.

Because of this product, in addition to his height and arm length, his shoulder width is also excellent.

The only fly in the ointment is that Rondo is only 185 cm tall.

Coming back, the Suns offense, like Wade before, Iverson, who also shouldered the hope of the whole village, held the ball and forced the basket.

At the same time, Duncan and Yao Ming, who retreated to the penalty area, still did not choose to start.

The two men just spread their arms and turned into a wall of desperate sighs in embarrassment, standing in front of Allen Iverson.

Bang, dang!

The referees couldn't really blow the whistle because there was no physical contact.

And Rondo protected the backcourt rebound for the Knicks in the first place.

Unlike the way most point guards protect their backcourt rebounds, this ball, at the moment when Rondo picked up the rebound with one hand in the air, his dashing action even stunned Marion, who was stuck behind Duncan.

This isn't the first time Marion has seen Rondo do so in this round of the finals.

But no matter how many times he saw it, Marion felt as if his chest was blocked by something.

In the first two games of the finals, Marion grabbed a total of 19 rebounds.

And what about the "rookie" Rondo?

A: There are also 19 of them.

Wang Shuo's previous life, in history, it was not until the 08/09 season, under the repeated reminders of Kevin Eastman, that Rivers reacted to what Rondo's dynamic and static talent could bring to that Celtics.

In the playoffs that season, Rondo averaged 9.7 rebounds per game for the Celtics, including 2.3 frontcourt rebounds.

This data, not to mention comparing it with peers, even compared with those insiders who are good at rebounding, that group of insiders has to be ashamed!

Wang Shuo is not Rivers, and this Rondo is still the Rondo who was strengthened by Grover last summer, so Wang Shuo does not intend to bury Rondo's talent in rebounding.

Especially when the Suns have to focus all their attention on Yao Ming and Duncan, where do they have the energy to take care of the Knicks, a "hidden center" who will rush into their interior at any time to grab the board?

The Knicks attacked, and the basketball, which was massaged very comfortably by Rondo's big hands, finally came to the smiling Tyrannosaurus Rex after three passes and two leads.

Yao Ming leaned on Xiao Si with his back, and after slamming backwards with a fierce force, then, without waiting for Xiao Si to react, Yao Ming hit it again quickly!

These two thunderous impacts, while fully exercising Xiao Si's chest muscles, also opened up space for Yao Ming to turn around and attack.

But even so, Yao Ming is still not satisfied!

Boom ——!

In the Sun Forbidden Area, after vigorously blowing up the ball and launching a world-destroying collision, Yao Ming turned sideways to the Tyrannosaurus Rex-style two-handed frame!

In front of the TV, O'Neal, who saw this scene, burst into tears.

Lao Yao, why didn't you beat me like this when you beat me?

Dude, I want to fight you hand-to-hand, too!

At the scene, Savor, who saw this scene, scolded: "What is he preventing? Didn't the local media in Phoenix praise his physical fitness all the time?

Why can't he even prevent a yellow race? ”

On the side, after a peek, there was no one around, otherwise Savor's assistant really wanted to give him a hammer.

In fact, many people around Savor knew that he was a white supremacist through and through.

But in the United States, even if you are, you can't say you are.

Savor's aides were well aware of what it would mean once these words of Saver were exposed by the media.

And if nothing else, Savor's assistant was really feeling at this moment, and his boss didn't even know how to play yet.

So, after enduring it for a while, I saw the assistant say to Savor: "Boss...... I think in today's league, the only player who can defend Yao head-on is Shaq O'Neal. ”

Hearing this, Savor immediately fell into deep thought.

Then, as if he had discovered a new continent, he jumped up with excitement, "Yes! Amare, this son of a bitch, can't be guarded, doesn't mean that no one in this alliance can guard against it! ”

On the court, Xiao Si, who is playing for the Suns at the moment, who is carrying Yao Ming and Duncan, knows ......

While he's giving everything to this Suns, the owner of this team is calling him a "son of a"?

In the first quarter of tonight, the Suns still couldn't bring the rhythm of the game.

In addition to Marion's use of two fast breaks to excite the fans at the scene, the Suns, who spent most of their time grinding with the Knicks, only scored 25 points in a single quarter.

For the average team, a score of 25 points in a single quarter is by no means low.

But for the Suns, who averaged more than 110 points per game in the regular season, the 25-point score in a single quarter didn't even reach their average.

The first quarter ended, 34-25.

Xiao Si, who was hammered by Yao Ming and Duncan for a full quarter, after noticing Iverson's rapidly declining physical groove, decisively proposed to Kerr during the break that he should pick up the burden of the Suns' second-quarter offense.

At this moment, Cole, whose CPU had been completely burned out, had to look at Xiao Si affectionately and patted him on the shoulder.

At this point in this series, Cole is out of business.

Because Wang Shuo didn't give Cole any chance at all.

By taking apart the playing time of Yao Ming and Duncan, coupled with West, the Knicks' interior will give the Suns enough intensity in each time period.

It's not like Cole hasn't tried to use Small's range to give Iverson a small fight.

Can......

Counting on Iverson alone, even if Iverson smokes, it can't change the fate of the Suns who will be constantly eaten away by the Knicks in the game and pull away the score.

Kerr hopes to have a good conversation with Sarver after this round of the Finals, hoping to bring in a couple of reliable replacements for the team through the free agent market this summer.

And on the court, in the second quarter of the game, Xiao Si did not live up to his big brother Iverson.

In the first half of the second quarter, Xiao Si shot 3 of 6, plus free throws, and scored a total of 10 points for the Suns, which once made Suns fans see the hope of clutching the score before the end of the first half.

But this night, the Knicks players who all wanted to leave their own pictures on the stage of the finals played more unrestrained than the other.

The Knicks attacked, and Dujon chased a three-point shot in the process of pushing the ball to convert.

Du Hong's chase is not for anything else, just to tell his children in the future:

Your dad and I were also players who used to be in the finals.

Then, after resting for most of the quarter, Rondo also blasted the ball vigorously and scored a metaphysical three-point in front of Iverson that even if Zidane came, he would have to touch his head.

Unlike Duhon, Rondo's handsome pull is just to tell people:

Actually, I'm really a pitcher.

Jr. Smith, who played a full quarter in this quarter, even performed a crotch twist and reverse dunk for the fans after bursting under the Suns basket.

Even if it is put into the slam dunk contest, this fancy dunk that is more explosive than Nate Robinson's dunk instantly detonated Madison Square Garden thousands of kilometers away.

Jr. Smith's physical fitness is unquestionable.

But if even J.R. Smith could play so relaxed in the game......

So how can the Suns defeat this Knicks?

In the second half of the second quarter, when the Suns asked for a timeout, looking at Ariza, who was about to play as a substitute for Hill, Smith, who usually has the best relationship with him, put his arm around Ariza and said, "Trevor, seize the opportunity!"

You don't want people to talk about this round of finals in the future, and you don't have any great pictures, right? ”

Hearing this, Ariza immediately played like chicken blood, and as soon as he got on the court, he received Duncan's assist and completed a "mantis split" that was very similar to Durant in the Suns restricted area.

In the second half of the second quarter, the already exhausted bodies of the Suns' main players could not guarantee their defensive intensity in the game.

This G3 battle in the finals has been reduced to a fancy show for the Knicks players on the court.

On the court, the Knicks attacked, and Duncan found Yao Ming without looking at the pass after dribbling under the crotch.

And Yao Ming, who is playful, made a decision after winning the ball, which made Duncan want him to return the equipment he just brushed out for him yesterday:

Seeing that Yao Ming, who was already in an empty position under the basket, did not let Duncan accept the assist, but passed the ball from the back of his head to the old Finley who followed up in the middle.

As he got older, Finley Sr., who rarely dunked, followed up with a one-handed slam dunk.

On the Knicks bench, seeing this scene, the two Knicks leaders, who have always been conscientious, also turned their heads to Wang Shuo:

Chief, look into our eyes, you should be able to feel our hunger, right?

Seeing this, Wang Shuo smiled and said to West and Hill, "In the third quarter, I will arrange a performance opportunity for you." ”

US Airways Center, at this moment, for Suns fans, in fact, why don't they know that the Suns players on the court have already done their best for this team?

On this night, where did Sarvol imagine that the Suns players would not do their best against the team led by Wang Shuo?

It's just that the Knicks are too strong.

It's desperately strong.

In fact, if it weren't for Popovich sending a "demon knife" to Miami in order to disgust Wang Shuo and Duncan, this season, the Knicks would really have won the championship in the playoffs.

At halftime, it was 70-48.

At halftime, Suns fans, who knew that the suspense of the game had been basically lost, did not choose to leave the arena.

Because the great god of coaching, Wang Shuo, once said that winning must be won together, and losing must be carried together.

And put aside the position......

On this night, the Knicks' gorgeous offense really shocked every fan on the scene and in front of the TV.

After the break, the two teams changed sides and fought again.

On the court, the Knicks attacked, Grant Hill burst to the basket after shaking off Sean Marion with a crossover from the outside, and in this moment, Hill Sr. did not let injuries and time hold him back.

At this moment, Grant Hill's ascension soars just to commemorate his lost youth!

Bang Dang——!

After half a quarter, the Knicks removed Yao Ming and Duncan successively.

And David West, who has been busy all year, also did what he wanted to do most for a long time with Wang Shuo's approval.

After grabbing the rebound and dribbling across half court, West ran all the way to the Suns basket and sent the basketball into the hoop with a guard-style pull.

Then, at the end of the third quarter, Brent Barry also showed the world his superb marksmanship:

Stepping on the logo of the National Route Center Arena, who said, the logo three-point shot can only be shot by the future Stephen Curry?

Hmmm——!

TNT TV, Barkley sighed: "The Knicks have gone completely crazy, tonight's them, even if God comes, they can't stop it!" ”

Out of respect for the sun, Wang Shuo did not eat ice cream on the sidelines this time.

At the end of the quarter, Wang Shuo did not exchange Yao Ming and Duncan back, but sent the Knicks water cooler team composed of Gortat, Horry, Barnes, Barry, and Du Hong.

Relying on Boykins' outstanding performance of 17 points in the final quarter, the Suns saved the last shred of face for themselves in the final quarter.

At full time, the final score of the two teams was 131-112.

The New York duo had 22 points, nine rebounds, three assists, and two blocks, and 20 points, 10 rebounds, five assists, and two blocks, respectively.

West had 17 points, four rebounds and four assists.

Hill had 14 points, three rebounds and three assists.

Rondo had 11 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists.

J.R. Smith had 13 points and three rebounds.

Barry and Gortat also have 12 and 10 points, respectively.

Just like the previous game, all of the Knicks players in this game scored points.

And with the big score of the finals coming to 3-0, after the game, the New York media officially opened a discussion about how the championship parade should be held.

Knicks owner James Dolan flew to Phoenix overnight after the G3 game.

Although the atmosphere of watching the game at Madison Square Garden with Knicks fans in the G3 game was also good, Dolan obviously wanted to witness the moment when the Knicks won the cup again after 33 years.

Then, as soon as he got off the plane, Dolan was upset.

Because he came to the Knicks hotel under the scorching sun of Phoenix, he was asked a question by the reporters who were squatting at the point as soon as he entered the door, which made him extremely angry:

Given that the cost of hosting a championship parade in New York is much higher than in other cities, would you be able to keep it simple at the Knicks' Parade of Champions?

Since the NBA is still essentially a commercial league, most team owners, even if they are willing to pay out of their own pockets for the championship parade of the team and fans, generally speaking, will generally keep the cost within a reasonable range.

And there is nothing wrong with what this journalist said.

Because in the NBA, due to the difference in the size of cities from city to city, the cost of holding a championship parade is not the same.

For example, in 2011, when the Mavericks won the championship, because Dallas was relatively cheap, Cuban only spent a few hundred thousand dollars to hold a grand championship parade for the Mavericks.

But just a year before the Mavericks won the championship, even though the Los Angeles government provided the Lakers with $1.5 million in sponsorship, the Lakers still paid $2 million out of their own pockets to barely hold a decent championship parade for the team and fans.

You see, the cost of cruising in the second-largest city in the United States is still the same......

What's more, it's the largest city in the United States, where every inch of land is valuable?

But for Dolan......

The reporter asked him this question, as if a man was being asked by his woman, "Can you do it?"

Simple?

Kainima's international joke too!

I, James Dolan, am the kind of person who can save money?

In Dolan's opinion, as long as the Knicks win the championship this year, even if he has fewer girls in the future, he will have to hold a grand parade for the Knicks to open the door and win the championship at home!

Isn't it money?

With Yao Ming and Wang Shuo here, he Dolan is still afraid that the Knicks won't make a lot of money?

Don't ask, ask is to win the championship parade, the Knicks must use the best in everything!

Dolan had already figured out that when the finals were over, he would immediately use the Knicks' luxury charter flight to take the players back to New York.

In the backwoods of Phoenix, Dolan felt like he couldn't breathe for a second longer.

However, let Dolan drag it again, on this day, when he was about to visit the team members, he still put a hot face on his cold ass.

Because I saw Wang Shuo, who was reviewing the G3 battle for the players at that time, after noticing Dolan pushing the door in, he glared at him directly, and said to him expressionlessly: "Get out." ”

Hearing this, Dolan immediately obediently and sensibly withdrew from the Knicks' war conference room.

After going out, the people around Dolan said with a dissatisfied face: "Boss...... Isn't that guy the head coach of the team, why did he let you out? ”

Seeing this, Dolan didn't talk to this person, but said directly to him: "Get out!" ”

What's wrong with Wang Shuo letting me out?

As long as he can win a championship for the Knicks, then even if he wants to sleep with me, buddy, I can't agree.

Don't say it, in Dolan's eyes, although Wang Shuo is over 30 years old, Wang Shuo's handsome face that crosses borders and ignores race is indeed very attractive to the same sex.

After all, Boss Qiao fell in love with Wang Shuo at a glance in the vast sea of people, and a large part of the reason was related to Wang Shuo's handsomeness.

……

The G4 battle of the finals between the Knicks and the Suns will start on the 15th.

The O'Brien Cup, which symbolizes the highest honor of the NBA team, was delivered to Phoenix on the evening of the 14th as usual.

Bill Russell will also be present in the next G4 match of the finals between the two teams.

Although Suns fans are still giving advice to the team online, the vast majority of people in the market believe that this series is about to reach its end in G4.

On the evening of the 15th, many American celebrities and celebrities came to the US Airways Center.

At the same time, Madison Square Garden, thousands of kilometers away, is also crowded.

The whole of the Big Apple is waiting for the moment when the New York duo will lift the championship trophy for the Knicks.

On the court, during the pre-game warm-up, Wang Shuo noticed that Yao Ming and Duncan both had cigars in their pockets.

Wang Shuo didn't ask too much about this, because in the NBA, lighting a cigar to celebrate after winning a championship has become a tradition.

At the scene, after the warm-up, the two teams were first revealed.

Knicks: Yao Ming, Duncan, Hill, Finley, Rondo.

Suns: Small, Marion, Dior, Bale, Iverson.

After the first three games of the Finals, Kerr knew that no matter what chicken soup for the soul was instilled in the players at this time, it was no different from nonsense.

Therefore, before the game, he deliberately arranged for two temporary workers to stop Savour's attempt to enter the locker room to give a speech, only to tell the players to relax and enjoy the finals.

In the middle of the court, after the jump ball, the sun attacked.

The relaxation of mentality really helps the players to play in such desperate moments.

As soon as he started tonight, Iverson hit a three-pointer for the Suns.

On this night, even Iverson, who has never given up, just wanted to enjoy the game with his brothers.

After all, after the first three games of the Finals, every Suns player knows that there is an insurmountable gap between them and the Knicks.

Coming back, the Knicks attacked, and after Yao Ming bullied Xiao Si, the Suns players on the court did not complain to each other, but played a very rare Suns signature fast break in this round of the finals after the fast baseline ball.

On the sidelines, watching the Suns players perform tonight, Kerr is definitely the most uncomfortable one.

Because of this series, if the Suns players can play with this relaxed mentality from the beginning, then he believes that even if the Suns still can't win this series, the Suns will never lose as badly as they did in the first three games.

In basketball, winning is king.

But when you're facing a strong opponent, if you can't even enjoy the game, what do you do to beat the big one?

In the first quarter of the game, in addition to Iverson, Bale also stepped up and hit three points for the Suns at the beginning of the first quarter and the middle of the first quarter.

Marion was also more comfortable in this air cut, and repeatedly grabbed Duncan and Yao Ming before they returned to defense, and made layups.

The first quarter ended at 31-34.

For the first time in this year's Finals, the Suns took the lead after the first quarter.

In the first quarter of the game, Xiao Si didn't shoot much on the offensive end, but focused his attention on the defensive end.

Although defense is not his strong point, when Yao Ming was at rest, even Xiao Yao praised Xiao Si after returning to the bench: "Amare is tougher than Shaq this time!" ”

I don't know who is tougher Xiao Si or O'Neal, but in the first quarter of tonight's game, Yao Ming and Duncan both shot 2 of 5, counting free throws, and scored 6 and 8 points respectively.

In the second quarter of the game, the Knicks were led by Yao Ming, and the other four people on the court were West, Barry, Jr. Smith, and Du Hong.

The Suns, on the other hand, retained the five main players of the first quarter.

In this game, Iverson and his brothers did not want to leave regrets.

In the face of Duhon, Iverson, who had already found a way to deal with Duhon, successfully caused Duhon's thug foul as soon as the second quarter began.

Last season, during a game against the Suns, Dujon used his winding method to make Iverson quite uncomfortable.

But just as Dujon will evolve, so will Iverson.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Iverson made 3 of 5 shots and 5 of 6 free throws under Duhon's defense, which fully made Duhong feel what the world is dangerous.

Under Iverson's leadership, the Suns led the Knicks by 10 points in the second quarter.

CCTV, Director Zhang said anxiously: "Is Wang Shuo a little big today?" I feel like he should call a timeout and set up a strategy for the players. ”

So, why is it important to say that people must not let emotions sway their judgment?

Because even Director Zhang, who has obtained the certification of understanding football from Wang Shuo, has lost the correct judgment of this game because of anxiety at the moment.

Why did the Knicks call a timeout?

Wang Shuo knows very well that in this game, Kerr's timeout was basically filmed to rest for Iverson and others.

Therefore, how could Wang Shuo assist Kerr at such a time and give the Suns, who can only be the main force, a chance to rest?

In the middle of the second quarter, after a wave of personnel adjustments, the Knicks officially started the scoring mode.

As the Suns' main hand declines, all the Knicks have to do is to protect every backcourt rebound, and then use the interior suppression of Yao Ming and Duncan on the offensive end step by step to turn the tide of the game step by step.

On the court, the Knicks attacked, facing Duncan, who was staggered on the off-peak, Xiao Si, who had just been chiseled by Yao Ming in the last round, even if he could jump again, his legs were like lead, and it was difficult for him to interfere with Duncan when he turned over and hooked his hand.

Bang, boom!

In the second quarter of the game, with Duncan hitting a hook for the Knicks at the end of the quarter with 2 minutes and 10 seconds left, the scoreboard, 54-54, the Knicks officially tied the score.

Coming back, Iverson and Smalls blocked, but unfortunately, the latter's catch-and-shoot after the bounce went wide of the rim.

In the Knicks restricted area, Yao Ming protected the rebound and handed the ball to Rondo, who was responsible for escorting the basketball across the half court.

In the frontcourt, after landing in a triangular attack, Yao Ming sank into the low post, received a pass from Duncan, and hit Xiao Si with his back.

56 to 54.

CCTV, who had been anxious before, praised Wang Shuo at this time: "A famous handsome is a famous handsome, Wang Shuo told us with his composure today, why he can sit in the Knicks' coaching seat, and we can only explain in the studio." ”

However, the Suns, who were completely relaxed tonight, did not hang their heads because the score was overtaken.

Just before half-time, Marion received a pass from Iverson and shot a crooked shot that hit the target.

With Marion's three-pointer for the Suns just before the end of the first half, the Suns managed to enter the second half with a one-point lead at 60-61.

After the break, the two teams changed sides and fought again.

Wang Shuo only allowed Yao Ming and Duncan to play for 4 minutes in the third quarter, respectively.

This use of people is nothing else, just to take away the sun in one breath with the "emoji combination" in the fourth section.

In the third quarter of the game, Iverson, who was completely using mental willpower to support himself in the game, cried his little fan brother Wade.

Wade is definitely the only one who can empathize with what happened to Iverson in the Finals this year.

In front of the TV, Amy was also very distressed about Iverson.

Fortunately, in the second half of the quarter, Xiao Si also stood up and frequently singled West in the frame.

Compared with G2 and G3, the referee's penalty scale this night is the most normal one in Wang Shuo's eyes.

Because after the first three games, even Stern thinks that no matter how much he gives the Suns off-court weight, it will be difficult for the Suns to win even one game in this series.

As a result, what Stern never expected was that in this G4 battle, the Suns created enough trouble for the Knicks and maintained the suspense of the game until the fourth quarter.

The third quarter ended, 85-88.

In the last quarter, Wang Shuo sent Yao Ming and Duncan, who had finished charging on the bench, at the same time.

And now, Xiao Si, who hasn't stopped for a minute tonight, is really a little unbearable.

Like Xiao Si, Marion, who played the whole game tonight, also didn't make a move.

Because not to mention the defense and filling for Xiao Si, Marion himself at this moment is a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect himself.

On the court, the Knicks attacked, after Yao Ming easily scored and caused a foul on Xiao Si's beater......

On the timer, I saw that there were still 5 minutes and 24 seconds left in this G4 battle.

On the scoreboard, the score of the two teams has become 108-98.

At the free throw line, Yao Ming hit a free throw and scored his 27th point of the game.

Coming back, Iverson's desperate three-pointer missed, and Duncan grabbed the backcourt rebound before Dior.

This night, even when the Sun won the first championship in team history, Dior, who could drink coffee while crossing Erlang's legs, also showed an anxious expression at this moment.

In fact, until this G4 battle, the faces of the Suns players were full of unwillingness.

After all......

No matter how big the gap is, the Suns players don't want to give up.

Yao Ming became a "bad guy" that night.

Because of the Knicks' next offense, after receiving Duncan's pass, accompanied by Yao Ming's "free throw-style three-pointer" hollow shabu-shabu, the always high fighting spirit of the fans on the scene seemed to be as cold as being doused with a waterfall of ice water.

Duncan also played the "bad guy".

Because on the court, at the moment when Iverson still didn't give up and burst into the Knicks penalty area with the ball, Duncan directly pressed Iverson's layup on the rebound with his hands.

On the Suns bench, at the end of the final 2:08 of the final quarter, Steve Kerr voluntarily called a timeout and pulled down the Suns' five main players who had played together for nearly 46 minutes tonight.

At the National Route Center, a Sports Illustrated reporter named Stanley took this famous painting of the century:

Si and Marion supported Iverson left and right, while Dior and Bale used their shoulders to carry Si and Marion's equally crumbling bodies.

TNT TV, Barkley said with emotion: "The immortal firebirds did not lose to their opponents, they are just tired and need to rest for a while!" ”

On the Knicks bench, another reporter from Sports Illustrated, Wilson, took a picture of the world-famous painting here:

After pushing Wang Shuo back to the bench, Yao Ming and Duncan got down on one knee and took out the cigar they had prepared in advance from their training clothes.

Then, after forcibly stuffing the cigar into Wang Shuo's mouth, Yao Ming and Duncan lit the victory cigar for Wang Shuo at the same time, which was used to celebrate the victory after winning the championship in the NBA.

On this night, the No. 1 center in history and the No. 1 striker in history personally crowned Wang Shuo.

And then immediately after that......

With the timer of the final quarter heading to zero, no Suns fan except Sarver chose to leave the stadium early......

also made up to Wang Shuo for the worship they owed Wang Shuo two years ago.

Two years ago, you led the Suns to their first-ever championship in Detroit, and we couldn't give you the first compliment.

Two years later, you led the Knicks to be crowned in Phoenix, and the applause at this moment is the highest respect we can give you.

After pressing Smith to the stage, Charles Barkley immediately announced to the nation in his loud voice: "Let's congratulate the New York Knicks!"

After a 33-year absence, they won the NBA championship again tonight! ”
