In g3, the Heat, who returned to their home court, still had no way to deal with the Hawks' shrinking defense and their offensive efficiency was low.

During the two days of rest, Pat Laili focused on arranging players to practice outside shooting, but it was impossible to implement it in the game. Only Peterson made a three-pointer in the Heat's starting lineup.

Making 3 of 15 three-pointers, the Eagles' defense can drive into the penalty area unscrupulously and then wait for rebounds.

With a sure chance of victory, Ke Yan not only did not use the "shark-killing tactic", he even did not deliberately target it in his tactical arrangements.

But even so, O'Neal made 9 of 21 shots, 7 of 18 free throws, and scored 25 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 assists. The efficiency was not very high. Looking at the Heat, which was in a slump with all players, the performance can only be said to be quite satisfactory.

For the Hawks, Garnett had it much easier. He only played 31 minutes, making 10 of 18 shots, 3 of 3 free throws, and scored 23 points, 12 rebounds and 3 assists.

With Paul organizing the offense and delivering comfortable passes; with Joe Johnson containing the opponent's defense; and with Diaw feeding him from time to time, Garnett has never had such a rich fight in his life. Now he has picked up the half-blooded Heat.

This is the first time in Garnett's 12-year career that he has enjoyed such good luck. He truly feels that his season has finally come!

Pat Riley didn't have any expectations about winning. He sat on the sidelines and thought about "reconstruction."

O'Neal's decline is irreversible. It's time for the Heat to reshuffle their cards. Taking advantage of O'Neal's good performance in the playoffs this season, they will send him away. At the same time, they will clear out some veterans in the team in exchange for some reconstruction resources and start around Wade.

Build the team, and after one or two seasons, the Heat can regain their competitiveness!

Speaking of reconstruction, the opposite Hawks team is the template for the Heat's reconstruction! Pat Laili has some abilities that are very close to Ke Yan. He is also very good at finding treasures from the bottom players to fill the vacancies in the lineup.

At 89:107, the Heat lost at home, trailing 0:3 by a big score. Heat fans also lost the confidence to win the next game and avoid a sweep, and left the game early.

After the game, Pat Laili also made an astonishing move. He took the initiative to walk up to Keyan and expressed congratulations to him in advance.

Usually, unless they are very close friends, most people will only communicate and pay tribute to the players and coaching staff of the two teams after the series is over.

Pat Laili and Keyan were not friends, so Keyan was a little flattered by the friendliness he showed.

Friendship remains friendly, and it is impossible to give face. There has never been a team in the Eastern Conference that has reached the finals in three consecutive rounds with a total score of 12:1. The Eagles hope to be the first, and this will be the Eagles

A new record set.

Trailing 0-3, the Heat lost all morale. In the G4 game, O'Neal made 7 of 20 shots and 3 of 8 free throws. He only scored 17 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists.

The core was sleepwalking and the Heat were defeated. The Hawks won 106-75 and swept the Heat 4-0.

The moment the game ended, everyone on the bench who was already ready to go rushed onto the court, surrounded the five main players, and jumped up and down, celebrating the victory in the Eastern Conference finals.

Ke Yan also walked quickly onto the field. He suppressed his smile and shook hands with Pat Laili. Pat Laili wisely left, leaving room for Ke Yan. Ke Yan gave high-fives to the players and was in a very happy mood.

After 2 seasons, Ke Yan worked hard and tried his best to finally bring the Hawks to the finals! This is the first time in the history of the "Atlanta Hawks" that they have reached the finals!

As early as the distant 1956 to 1961, the Eagles reached the Finals four times in five seasons. During Russell's journey to win 11 championship rings, the Eagles, who were still in the Western Conference at that time, failed several times.

As a leader, he also won the only championship in team history under the leadership of Bob Pettit in 1957!

However, the Hawks had nothing to do with Atlanta at that time. The Hawks were still in St. Louis at that time. In 1968, the Hawks moved to Atlanta. For a long time, the Hawks were a team in the middle and lower reaches of the league. Being able to make

Perhaps the only ones who left a deep impression on fans were "Pistol" Maravich and "The Essence of Human Movies" Kendrick Wilkins.

After the 1997 season, the Hawks entered the darkest stage in team history. They failed to advance to the playoffs for seven consecutive seasons. In the 2004 season, they recorded the worst record in the league of 13 wins and 69 losses, which was also the worst record in team history.

Achievements.

After seven consecutive seasons of building character, the team finally ushered in the right man. When the game ended, the fans gathered on the streets in Atlanta's square fell into madness, and the fans sang "Ke Yan's Song"

》, come and cheer for the team to advance to the finals.

This is, in a true sense, the first Eastern Conference championship for the "Atlanta Hawks"!

On the other side of the ocean, in China, the fans on the forum also worship Ke Yan as a god!

Chinese fans are protective of their shortcomings. Everyone knows this. Yao Ming may be very strong, but in his 9-year NBA career, he only won one series in total.

Praise him to the ranking of historical centers; Yi Jianlian's experience in the NBA is definitely a failure, but Chinese fans will always make excuses for his failure, "too many injuries", "tactics are not suitable", "character"

"Too introverted", "ostracized by teammates", "coach Qiu Hua", anyway, he never mentioned the issue of strength.

Protecting one's shortcomings is not a problem, it's just that sometimes, "one secret is equal to ten villains", fans become crazy and brag, and can even turn passers-by into "scumbags", and then it becomes "moral kidnapping".

"Are you still a flower grower?"

Compared with Yao Mi and Yao Ming, who can only "put aside their achievements", Ke Yan can be called a "five-dimensional man", with good results in leading the team, gorgeous playing style, obvious progress as a young player, high tactical attainments, and good looks! Fans!

Praise Ke Yan, full of confidence!

The most important thing is appearance! Female fans agree with this point.

So a post like this appeared on the forum: "If Ke Yan chases Liu Lingfei, can he catch him?"

Half of the replies below the post were in support of Ke Yan, and the other half were to "humiliate" Liu Lingfei on his behalf.

Huo Qingshu also specially sent the link to the post to Ke Yan.

"To be honest, I have no interest." Ke Yan replied.

"I won't tell Never, don't worry!" Huo Qingshu replied, "Tell me, if there is no Never, which one would you prefer, Golden Lock, Tianxian, or 040?"

"Refuse to answer this question."

"Boring!"

After leading the Hawks to win the Eastern Conference championship and reach the finals, Ke Yan became the savior of the Hawks, but he was still one step away from becoming a god, which was to win the damn championship!

The day after returning to Atlanta, the Hawks coaching staff met in the office to watch the G5 game between the Suns and Jazz.

Unlike many fans who thought the Suns would be "defeated", the Jazz's resistance was far more tenacious than the Heat's, and they continuously defended their home court in Game 4, chasing the total score to 2:2!

After beating the Rockets in the first round and the Warriors in the second round, Boozer continued his "god to earth" performance against the inside combination of Stoudemire and Marion, averaging 30.5 points and 11.5 points in four games.

rebounded, and even suppressed the little bully Stoudemire.

And Deron Williams showed no stage fright when facing two-time MVP Nash, relying on his size advantage and precise shooting to compete with Nash.

As one of the "Three Point Guards" in the 2005 draft, Paul's great success also stimulated Deron to a greater or lesser extent, allowing him to perform even better.

Both Stoudemire and Boozer are somewhat restrained by Garnett. From this point of view, no matter who enters the finals, the Hawks will have the "first mover advantage". In addition, the home court

The advantage is that it is not a big problem to open June 4th.

But if you asked Ke Yan to choose an opponent, he would choose the Suns! There are three reasons:

One is the special format of the Finals 232. The Hawks will play two home games first, then three away games, and finally return to Atlanta to play two home games. The Jazz’s energy solution center can be called the league’s number one devil’s home stadium, and throughout the playoffs

So far, they have won all 7 games. If the Hawks lose a home game in the first two games and go to Salt Lake City to play three consecutive games with the Jazz, they will have a narrow escape! Relatively speaking, Phoenix is ​​not that evil!

The second is Deron's inherent attribute of "eating, sleeping and beating Paul". Just like Warcraft rules the entire league and Yao Ming rules World of Warcraft; Paul can show his style against most point guards, and he can show off his style when encountering strong players.

Delong, I really suffered a lot.

The third reason is that the Jazz's defensive strength can also match the Hawks' main firepower. This Jazz team is very effective at defending small guards and defending the inside, but it is easier to be defeated by shooting wings. If

The Jazz are in the finals, and Joe Johnson is expected to compete for FMVP.

Ke Yan, Hamblen, and Atkins all have a relatively calm mentality, while Hornacek clearly supports the Jazz.

After all, it is his old club. Hornacek's biggest wish is to succeed Sloan and coach the Jazz in the future; even if the Jazz really enter the finals, defeat the Hawks and win the championship, Hornacek will also be there for him.

The Jazz are happy.

As a well-known "home dragon" team in the league, the Jazz's "away strength" is slightly stronger than that of the Nuggets, but it is also "stronger". Including Deron, they all have a certain degree of strength.

decline; and Fisher, who was traveling between Los Angeles and competition venues because of his daughter's eye cancer, also did not perform well in the competition.

At 123:114, the Suns won the "Battle of Tianwang Mountain" and the Western Conference championship was within reach.

In Game 6, the two sides were evenly matched. Nash hit a key mid-range shot 12 seconds before the end to help the team lead by 4 points. Afterwards, Deron missed a three-pointer and the Jazz was forced to use foul tactics. Nash made two free throws to seal the victory.

.

108 to 102, the Suns eliminated the Jazz with a total score of 4:2 and advanced to the finals.

After the game, the media congratulated the Suns one after another, sincerely!

The Suns and Hawks rank among the top two in the league in terms of points per game during the regular season. D'Antoni and Ke Yan are the two top offensive masters in the league! This season is also regarded as a "victory of offensive basketball"!

After experiencing the baptism of the Pistons and Spurs for several seasons, everyone hopes to see a more sparkling finals to wash their eyes. Instead of Duncan and Rasheed Wallace playing bumper cars with muscular men in the penalty area!

ESPN immediately held an event to predict the outcome of the Hawks vs. Suns. Most of the experts were optimistic about the Hawks.

Steve Ashburner: "I think Garnett's suppression of Stoudemire is the key to this series. We met twice in the regular season. Although Stoudemire had good statistics, he was assisted.

The efficiency is over 70%, and most of the offense is completed by receiving Nash's ball! His face-to-face singles and strong attacks under the basket are of no use when facing Garnett. I think if the finals

During this period, if Garnett can contain Stoudemire, the Hawks will have a higher chance of winning!"

Brian Martin: "In addition to Stoudemire, the Suns also have Marion! No matter how strong Garnett is, he can only limit one All-Star inside. If the Suns want to win the series, they need Marion.

Lyon stepped up and continued the team’s offensive firepower!”

Mark Medina: "I don't know if Kimi and his players can handle the pressure brought by the finals; but in terms of play style, the Hawks are a more balanced offensive and defensive team. And the Suns also have

Only Bell has played in the finals, so in terms of experience, their advantage is not big!"

Sean Powell: "No matter how much luck there is, the Hawks advanced to the Finals with a score of 12:1. This kind of dominance has only been achieved by the Lakers in 2001! Ask yourselves, do you think the Suns

If the team is in the Eastern Conference, can they achieve similar results?"

John Shuman: "Logically speaking, the Hawks have a stronger lineup and a deeper bench, so they definitely want to be a bigger team. It depends on what means D'Antoni can use to deal with Ke Yan. I think the Suns have

It’s a tough fight, but the Eagles clearly have the upper hand in terms of strength!”

Michael Wright: "Looking back at the signing of Joe Johnson between the Suns and the Hawks, maybe D'Antoni himself didn't expect that two years later, the Hawks would become their opponent in the Finals, and Joe Johnson

Will Johnson become a member of the Hawks' Big Three? The Suns may have lost their best chance to win the championship because they saved some money!"

Six experts voted 5:1. The Eagles have a huge advantage! The best record in team history of 68 wins in the regular season and a 12:1 record in the playoffs made the experts take a high look at the Eagles.

After the Suns were confirmed to advance to the finals, the two teams had another week of rest. For the Eagles, Ke Yan changed from one practice a day to two practices a day, allowing the players to find their condition through training!

Historically, in the game between the five-star Warriors and the Spurs, the Spurs' lead reached 23 points before the scumbag came to Leonard. The Warriors lost 4:0 and took away the Jazz, and then took a break and played

In the first half of the Spurs' game, the entire team was out of shape, and then they made a decisive move!

By increasing the intensity of training, the team is prevented from being distracted. Ke Yan is not worried about the team's physical problems! The Eagles only played 13 games in the playoffs; on the other hand, the Suns played more than the Eagles

Five games, the consumption will definitely be greater!
