Looking forward to another year's finals.

Magic vs Nuggets.

Take a look at the lineup of the two teams.

Magic core rotation: Howard, Arenas, Lewis, Tkoglu, Ricky Bogans, Carlos Arroyo, Maurice Evans, Tony Barty, ** Redick.

Nuggets core rotation: James, Iverson, Camby, Martin, Deronti West, JR Smith, Avraro, Creza, Chris Anderson, Brand Haywood.

On paper, the Nuggets have some advantages.

However, basketball games are not just about paper-based lineups, but more about playing styles, tactics, even details, penalty standards, etc.

Speaking of which, the stars in this year's finals are not as good as last year, but because of the different styles, the game will become very interesting.

The Magic team is a standard one-star shooting style. Whether the offensive end can play depends on whether Howard can beat the Nuggets' inside group, and on the other hand, it depends on how the outside shooter feels.

The Nuggets still fight back and forth with high speed. The key is whether they can defend against the Magic's one-star shooting.

This looks like a contradictory duel, but on the one hand, it is good for the Nuggets. Last year, they fought with the Lakers and fought blood from the West this year, and their positional combat capabilities have been greatly improved.

This greatly increased their lower limit and was also the key to their ability to reach the finals this year.

According to Sun Hao's judgment, either of these two teams is likely to win, and neither of them is more sure than the opponent.

Because Howard is not O'Neal, it is not that easy to suppress the three inside players, Camby, Martin and Heywood.

Conversely, although James's outside projection has been stronger than in the same period of history, it is far from the level of accuracy at the end of his career.

In other words, he is still afraid of having a super inside team, which is reflected in the Wizards and when he played against the Lakers in the playoffs last year.

Although Howard is a rough guy on the offensive end and is completely incomparable to O'Neal, his current defensive ability is definitely stronger than O'Neal.

So it can be said that both sides have their own advantages and weaknesses.

Even the head coaches on both sides are not the top ones, and they also have their own obvious advantages and disadvantages.

So in a summary: Everything is possible.

I am tired of guessing, but I may be lonely in the end, so it is better to watch honestly.

After watching the entire finals, it feels like you are driving a mountain road that is rarely visited. You will never know what you will see when you go over the next turn.

G1, Howard was particularly uncomfortable being defended by Cambi. It felt like "I can't defend against the big shark or you little monster?"

Howard has no advantage in the inside, and the Magic team's outside shooter group has no room to play. The Magic team lost 89 to 103.

After the G1 game, experts felt that the Magic was completely out of the way because Van Gundy’s style of playing was based on Howard’s advantage in the inside.

In this situation, there is no need to play the game at all!

Many experts even compared Howard with O'Neal, and were demoted to nothing.

G2, do you think Howard will be slapped in the face after being criticized by experts? No!

However, Arenas ran away, and he scored 36 points, helping the Magic to score a wave at the last moment, and returned to the game with a 113-103 rebound.

G3, Arenas's form remains unabated, and Howard finally adapted to Camby's defensive strength and began to overturn the inside.

As soon as Howard opened, the Magic's outside shooter group also opened.

After halftime, the Magic led the Nuggets by as much as 20 points 65-45.

In this era, 65 points in the halftime is already a very outstanding score, and even the Suns cannot get it casually.

This half also made many experts turn 180 degrees, and this time they are optimistic about the Magic.

What they said is reasonable and well-founded: The Nuggets cannot limit Howard, so the Nuggets don’t need to play!

As a result, in the second half, the Magic's outside scorers began to feel a downward touch, and James on the Nuggets began to go wild and led the team to chase the score to single digits.

It was a bit of a pity in the end, because the score difference was too big in the first half, the Magic narrowly defeated the Nuggets 113-110, turning the big score into 2-1.

G4, just when fans felt that the two-way series had entered a white-hot stage, the Magic's shooter group was lost and was beaten by the Nuggets to counterattack. The Nuggets defeated the Magic 106-86 at home, and tied the big score to 2-2.

G5, Tianwang Mountain, after two consecutive waves of analysis failed, the experts chose to shut up in a unified manner at this time.

This game was also the most intense game in the finals, and both sides were in the form of the game.

The Nuggets cannot suppress Howard and also restrict the shooter group who cannot do good at magic.

In turn, the Magic can't stop James' hot state.

The game continued until the last moment, and both sides exhausted their energy.

The last minute was also full of conditions.

First, James' key ball was blown away, and then Howard took his sixth foul and left the court.

In the last goal, Iverson received a sudden pass from James to hit the final goal!

120-119, the Nuggets narrowly won the Tianwang Mountain with 1 point!

Howard scored 27 points and 14 rebounds, Arenas scored 26 points and 6 assists, and the Magic made 17 of 38 three-pointers!

James scored 38 points, 12 rebounds and 7 assists, almost breaking the finals 40+ record set by Sun Hao, and Iverson scored 20 points;

The G5 was so exciting that the fans were also excited.

When it comes to G6, fans are looking forward to another bloody battle between the two sides.

As a result, the Magic team lost their morale after losing to Tianwang Mountain, and they were unable to find their form even if they were at home.

In the end, James scored a triple-double with 25 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists, leading the Nuggets to defeat the Magic 91-77!

The Nuggets defeated the Magic with a total score of 4-2 and won the 2008 NBA championship!

James, won the championship!

This iconic figure of the 2003 Golden Generation made a bold statement when he debuted that he would defeat Sun Hao's "Son of God". In the 5 years of his career, he finally won the first championship in his career!

Although, because of Sun Hao's retirement, he still failed to defeat Sun Hao, this championship is crucial!

And looking back at the Nuggets' journey, defeating the Clippers, defeating the Mavericks, and finally winning the Magic, which is very valuable!

At the moment when the final whistle sounded, James couldn't hide his emotions and burst into tears.

Others may not know that after challenging Sun Hao again and again, especially after losing last season, he once had the idea of ​​leaving Denver.

But in the end, he persevered!

The cheers were shaking, and James enjoyed the feeling of the whole audience gathering.

But at this moment, in a corner that many people didn't notice, Iverson sat on the bench, holding his head and cried there.

Beside him is his teammate Eric Snow who switched to the Nuggets in the new season and didn't have much playing time, but he was his teammate Eric Snow when he was 76ers.

He patted Iverson on the shoulder, just like he did in the 76ers.

Although he is no longer the team's star, he can no longer achieve the performance of scoring 48 points in the face of the "OK group" like he did in 2000.

But compared to that, the ending in front of him was obviously what he wanted more.

Eight years later, he finally won the cup as he wished. He, the entire professional student, can be said to be without regrets!

Moreover, although he is not the leader of the team, his average assists per game in the finals is also a stable second leader.

Not to mention that he has the priceless winning goal of G5.

This is the most perfect redemption in his career.

Snow patted Iverson on the shoulder and sat down and chatted with Iverson a lot.

Finally Iverson took off the towel and stood up.

His eyes and his entire eye socket were red.

At this moment, the live footage finally turned from James to Iverson.

Iverson's face was just put on the LED large screen and live broadcast screen.

Suddenly, the audience cheered.

For many fans on the scene, if James represents the present, then Iverson is a memory.

Seeing that the former "lonely hero" finally got what they wanted, they also felt inexplicably satisfied.

Including Sun Hao, when he saw this scene, he felt a little different.

You see, his retirement is not all a bad thing.

The award ceremony was held on site, followed by the FMVP selection.

James was successfully elected as the MVP in the Finals with 5.7 rebounds per game.

It is worth mentioning that Iverson also received three votes in this selection, which shows the media's recognition of his performance.

After winning the FMVP trophy, James delivered a speech on his award.

That remark... well, it sounds very much like Sun Hao.

At the end of his speech, he inevitably mentioned Sun Hao.

"He is my goal and inspired me to keep moving forward. He is the greatest basketball player. We all hope he will come back soon."
