NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

"The game is over!" The first person to announce the end of the game in the TNT studio was, of course, Barkley, Lin Tian's number one fan: "There won't be a miracle. The difference is 9 points, there are 30 seconds left, and the Suns didn't have a timeout."

"They had to hit three 3-pointers in a row and hope that the Knicks would make consecutive turnovers or miss consecutive shots in order to tie the score with three 3-pointers, but if the Knicks could make even one free throw, they would have to make another 3-pointer."

"Reggie's 9 seconds wasn't enough for them to tie the score!"

"Isn't it a bit rude to talk about this when the Knicks are about to win the championship?" Miller, who had a face full of impoliteness and had never been polite in his life, said with a sly smile that it was all in the past and don't mention it.

But judging by his expression, it was clear that he was saying: Don't stop, keep going! Dude loves this!

"I will never mention this again in my life, don't worry." How could Barkley not know Miller's thoughts? He immediately said that this topic was over and he would never mention it again!
At this time on the court, the timeout ended and neither side made any substitutions.

At this time, there is not much point in changing players!
When the Suns threw the sideline ball, the defensive pressure from the Knicks was not that great, and Nash finally caught the basketball this time.

Then, facing Lin Tian's defense, Nash did not make any unnecessary movements. Instead, he jumped up directly when he was two steps away from the three-point line and forced a long three-point shot!
"Bang!" With such a desperate sound, Nash knew that the Suns' season was over.

This round of the series is over.

Smith grabbed the backboard and dribbled the ball excitedly on the spot. Looking at his appearance, if the game had not been over yet, this guy would have been so excited that he would have jumped onto the technical table!
When old Nelson saw that the Suns had stopped resisting and had given up, he immediately called a timeout!
He had to give the Suns players some respect. He had to call a timeout for D'Antoni, who didn't have one, so that he could replace these main players.

There was no need to let these players continue to suffer on the court in the last 20 seconds.

And old Nelson quickly sent out the players who did not play tonight and those who had the least playing time.

Vinicius, Muhammad and Shannon Brown are young and have never been included in the team's rotation.

Although they are in the team's rotation, veterans Houston and Ward have very little playing time and are almost certain to retire directly after the end of this season.

The five of them walked onto the field together, where they would feel the madness of the fans for the last time.

Especially the two veterans Ward and Houston, they really felt this respect and madness as players for the last time!

Sure enough, after these two players came on the court, the fans in the stadium immediately cheered and shouted, and Madison, which had been extremely chaotic just now, was replaced by uniform slogans almost in the blink of an eye.

"One more year! One more year! One more year!"

For a guy like Houston who has been selected into the All-Star team and the All-NBA team, it's okay for him to deal with the fans' shouts and passionate roars. He has made the final shot, he has played in the finals, he has plenty of experience and big-game experiences, he can still wave calmly to express his gratitude.

But the same cannot be said for Ward next to him.

Ward was already in tears.

Tears streamed down his face and he was even sobbing non-stop.

Ward has never enjoyed such treatment in his life!
He entered the industry a year earlier than Lin Tian, ​​and his draft pick was actually higher than Lin Tian's. He is a legitimate first-round pick!

Since joining the Knicks in the 94-95 season, Ward has been taking one step at a time, from a water cooler to a substitute to a starter, and from a starter to a substitute. For a full 13 years, he has dedicated his entire career to the Knicks.

He played more than 700 games in his career, but he started less than a third of them. In the year with the best statistics in his career, he only scored 8 points and 5 assists.

He has only scored 2+ points twice in his career. The most shining night of his career was almost 20 years ago, when he was thrown to the ground by PJ Brown over his shoulder, which triggered a big fight between the Heat and the Knicks.

His career can be perfectly described in just two words.

Mediocre and hardworking!
He was never the star, he was never the one in the spotlight.

From Ewing to Jordan to Houston, and then to Lin Tian today.

The superstars and team leaders around him have been changing, only Ward has stayed here.

And now, in the last game of his career, the fans finally saw him, finally treated him as the protagonist, and cheered him like a hero.

Ward was completely devastated.

"Okay, Charlie." Old buddy Houston put an arm around Ward's shoulders and whispered in his ear, "Give the ball back to them. It's a 24-second violation. We have the last few seconds to lift the championship trophy again."

"Don't act like you've never seen the world. Don't let people think we haven't won a championship."

"We two are the two people on this team who have helped the Knicks win the most championships! We two have helped the team win three championships!"

"So, be a little more ambitious and show some momentum!"

"Yeah, I understand." Ward gave a smile similar to Ewing's, and then passed the ball to the referee who was waiting nearby.

Obviously, the 24 seconds had passed a long time ago, but it had nothing to do with the outcome of the game, so neither the Suns players nor the referee protested or gave any punishment.

They all waited quietly, waiting for Houston to recover from his excitement, waiting for Houston to give them the basketball.

The audience cheered more excitedly, their voices were louder, they were applauding everyone, cheering and shouting for everyone.

Tonight is definitely a perfect night for the Knicks!

"Buzz!"

With the sound of a buzzer, the game officially ended!
In the final 30 seconds, facing a 9-point gap, players from both sides did not continue to attack, but waited for the 30 seconds to end.

As the whistle sounded, the Knicks players were completely excited. They no longer had any inhibitions and everyone rushed into the court and started their party and cheering!

The fans at the scene were singing and dancing, celebrating wildly with the players!

"Champions! We won the championship!" Barkley also waved his hands excitedly and shouted loudly.

As Lin Tian's former teammate, Miller was naturally excited about his friend's championship again. Like Barkley, he cheered together. Payton and Kenny next to him were able to remain calm.

Kenny said lightly: "It was an extremely exciting finals! An exciting finals! A finals that we should remember and cheer for for a long time! This finals can definitely be called the top offensive battle in NBA history!"

"The offensive capabilities of these two teams are definitely top-notch throughout history! Their performances are even more amazing! The firepower confrontation between the two teams is really exciting and satisfying to watch!"

Payton also said: "I think that this round of the finals between these two teams has successfully shattered the so-called maxim that offense wins the box office and defense wins the championship! Both teams almost ignored defense and relied on offense to get here and showed us such a wonderful round of the finals."

"Thanks to the Suns!" Barkley said with a smile, coming out of his excitement. "It is their wonderful performance that made this series so exciting! They were once in desperate situations of 0:2 and 3:1."

"But they didn't give up. They were still tenacious. They once made it possible for this series to go to a seventh game! They were just that close to doing it!"

"The performances of their core players were all amazing! Nash once again scored a super double-double of 33 points and 22 assists tonight! His performance in this series was so strong that it was unbelievable!"

"He scored 40+15, and he scored 30+20 twice! Nash gave everything in this series! He paid everything! He was just a little bit away from bringing the Suns their first championship in history!" "Pierce's performance was equally wonderful! This guy, who is always ignored because of his playing style, has no personal honors this year and was auctioned off by the team twice, once played a perfect performance in the third game of the series and saved the team from despair."

"He also hit the buzzer beater in Game 38 of the series! He scored 11 points and 2 rebounds tonight. He scored 40+ points twice in this series! He is the number one icebreaker when the Suns can't play their tactics, and he is also the team's most reliable king of one-on-ones!"

“当然也不能忘记马里昂，这个系列赛场均轰下24分14篮板4助攻2抢断2盖帽的全能锋线虽然没有纳什和皮尔斯那么炸裂的表现，但他胜在稳定和高效！”

"He will do everything the team needs him to do, and he can do everything the coach asks him to do! Well, except defending Lin!"

"Of course, we can't forget the efforts and dedication of Barbosa, Jones, Martin, Thomas and others! They never slacked off, they kept working hard!"

"They are just a little bit short!"

"But no matter what, let us remember this Suns team! Let us remember the great performance they brought us this year!"

"Then, let's take a look at what the new champions, the Knicks, have brought us tonight!" After Barkley finished speaking, Miller quickly took over and said he wanted to introduce the Knicks himself!

"Lin scored 50+ again tonight! He had an incredible triple-double of 51 points, 21 assists and 15 rebounds tonight! He continued his terrifying and unstoppable performance!"

"He scored like crazy in the first quarter, he kept finding his teammates in the second quarter, and he used his offense, defense and everything to help the team in the decisive moment! He is the best player in this series! He is the best player in the league today! He is the best basketball player in the world, ever!"

"In this series, Lin broke countless records! He scored 5+ points in 50 consecutive games in this series, the only time in history. He scored 70 points in a single game in the finals, the only time in NBA history! He averaged 6 points in 54.2 games, the highest in NBA history! Of course, he also broke his own record!"

"This is the third time that Lin has averaged 40+ points per game in the Finals! This is also the most by any player in history."

"In addition, Lin also became the player with the most free throws and three-pointers in a single Finals series during these six games!"

"Of course, he is not the one who took the most free throws in a single series. The one who took the most free throws is still our dear Shaq!"

"Tonight, no! This round, this finals! Throughout this playoffs and this entire year, Lin's performance has been impeccable! He's been perfect!"

"Lin is incredibly strong this year! His scoring, his averages, the energy he showed from the regular season to the playoffs, I think it's no exaggeration to call this year 'the first one-man show in history'!"

"Well, another thing worth mentioning is that I think the only people who can compete with this year's Lin for the title of the strongest in history are probably the Lins from other years."

"He is already far ahead of all the other players!"

"Okay, finally, let me formally congratulate Lin. Let us congratulate him in advance on his successful title defense! Let us wish him to become the Finals MVP again in advance! Let us also congratulate the Knicks, who are about to win the fifth championship trophy in their team's history!"

"The first two came in the early 70s! Since then, the Knicks have never won a championship. No matter who it is, no one can bring them to the top! It was not until recent years that Jordan and Ewing, Lin Tian and his brothers, successively sent the Knicks to the highest throne three times!"

"The Celtics and Lakers may still be the first and second teams in the league, but the competition for the third place is becoming more and more intense!"

"Will it be the Bulls who won five championships in the 90s with Lin and Jordan? Or the Pacers who won six championships with Lin? Or the Knicks who have five championships now and are looking forward to three consecutive championships?"

"I think one thing we can all notice is that Lin's shadow can be seen in these three teams! He has contributed at least two championship trophies to these three teams!"

"I can only say that Lin's career is really crazy!"

"He only has one ring left to catch up with 'Lord of the Rings' Russell! Two times with the Knicks, two times with the Bulls, and six times with the Pacers! Ten championships, ten times!"

"And he was the absolute core every time, and won the Most Valuable Player award 8 times!"

"It also includes two consecutive championships and one five-peat! Incredible career! An amazing career resume."

"If I were Lin, I would have retired long ago to enjoy life! He can actually keep himself hungry and keep sprinting forward!"

"Let me, let us, let everyone, once again, pay tribute to Lin!"

"Lin's performance this round was really scary!" Payton followed up, "I have to admit, I'm glad that when I met him 10 years ago, he wasn't this strong, nor this scary, so I wasn't blown up too badly."

"If it was this year's Lin, I really don't know how I would be beaten!"

Kenny said: "Speaking of this, I think there will be a lot of people who will say: Lin's stats are good because he played against the Suns. He played against the worst defensive team in the league, so he got such good stats!"

"But what I want to say is that the Suns' defense didn't become bad until the finals, and the Suns didn't suddenly become a fast-shifting offensive team until the finals."

"How many regular season games and series have they played over the years? How many people can score 50 points on them, and how many people can blow them up in the series?"

"The strong will always be strong! Only the weak will find all kinds of excuses for others' success! This year's Lin's performance is unparalleled! It's just crazy!"

Barkley followed up with, “From today on, no asshole will ever say Michael scored 4 points against us four games in a row!”

"From now on, everyone will only say that Lin scored 5 points in 50 consecutive games! This is why I love Lin! He can always save his guys, and he can always free his guys from painful and unfortunate situations!"

Miller followed up with, "It's incredible! The tenth championship! Lin has won 12 championships in the past 10 years! 10 times! I think I have to remind all the current players who haven't won a championship."

"That is, if you want to win the championship, there are only two ways to go."

"1. Join Lin; 2. Wait for Lin to retire."

"As a friendly reminder, I suggest you choose option 1, because based on Lin's current condition, who knows how many more years he can play. Anyway, I think his condition will not decline in the next five years!"

"He can still rule this alliance for at least five years!"

"There is actually a third way." Barkley suddenly said: "What if Lin gets tired of it? What if he finds new fun? Maybe he will leave the league!"

"So guys, if you want a championship and you can't beat Lin, and you don't want to lose face and join Lin, then go find him another fun!"

"Let him go somewhere else and cause trouble for others!"

……

Several old guys in the studio praised Lin Tian one after another, recounting his god-like performance in this series and in the past.

Yes, apart from his god-like performance, there is no other words to describe Lin Tian in this round.

While they were excitedly discussing Lin Tian and how others would win the championship, Stern had already walked into the stadium and stood on the podium.

Then there was another round of nonsense and boos from the fans.

Finally, Lin Tian raised the championship trophy and the FMVP trophy.

The New York Knicks are officially crowned the champions of the 2006-2007 season! (End of this chapter)
