The entire 2007-2008 NBA season ended on June 17, 2008.

There were two highlights in the first round of the playoffs, namely the Atlanta Hawks dragging the Celtics into Game 7, and the Philadelphia 76ers Black Seven Miracle and eliminating the Detroit Pistons.

After that, there isn't much suspense about the course of the playoffs.

On the Eastern side, the question of whether the Pistons or the Cavaliers would enter the Eastern Conference Finals and compete with the super powerhouse Celtics for the Eastern Conference championship was once a topic that many football critics and media discussed hotly.

But with the Pistons upset out by the 76ers, the suspense of the problem is much less.

In the second round, the Celtics, who gradually found the feeling of running in the playoffs, were getting better and better, and finally broke into the Eastern Conference Finals with their heads held high.

The Cleveland Cavaliers, on the other hand, took the lead when their opponent Philadelphia 76ers were exhausted, winning two home games and completely establishing the victory of the entire series.

In the end, the Eastern Conference Finals were held between the Celtics, a super-strong team composed of the Big Three, and the Cleveland Cavaliers, a team with the current No. 1 player in the league, LeBron James.

In terms of regular season record, the Celtics have a shining 67-win record, and the strength makes people feel that not reaching the Finals is a failure.

The Cavaliers, on the other hand, have experienced a decline and are not very good with a record of around 50 wins.

But everyone knows that the Cavaliers are two different concepts in the playoffs and the regular season, and the reason is simple: LeBron James.

In the playoffs, LeBron has become the most terrifying existence of this era, and in the regular season, the Cavaliers will also protect LeBron to a certain extent, allowing him to participate more in the team's overall offense, and use his containment to gain an advantage for the team.

And in the playoffs, LeBron completely transformed and became an invincible super artillery.

Pity. This kind of LeBron is encountering a triumvirate that is getting more and more neat, and there seem to be some problems in the team's run-in, but his personal strength is still at the pinnacle.

The Eastern Conference Finals were played in six games, and the whole process was similar to the Eastern Conference semifinals when the Cavaliers crossed the 76ers, with the Celtics winning two home games first, and then the Cavaliers returning to Cleveland and began to fight back to tie the score.

After 2-2, the Cavaliers had no chance.

Facing LeBron James, Pierce, a singles machine who has been on the Celtics for many years. began to exert his terrifying strength, which had been underestimated by the world for many years. In the face of LeBron's crazy attack, Pierce used the most simple means and skills to score points again and again.

Step back, cut to the basket, make fouls on body contact, three-point cold-blooded arrows, pull-up jump shots, and the signature crooked slanted yelling rushed into the interior to shoot and hit the ......

Pierce showed his superior offensive skills and kept the Cavaliers unguarded.

In terms of personal data, LeBron's scores, rebounds, and assists. are far more than Pierce.

But Pierce's happiness lies in the fact that he now has two all-time stars by his side.

Garnett, Ray Allen.

Pierce's happiness is LeBron's nightmare.

The Celtics finally made it through the final hurdle on their way to the Finals. With their heads held high, the Cavaliers and LeBron bowed their heads, becoming another stepping stone on the Celtics' road to becoming king.

Come to the Finals and stand across from the Celtics. It's so familiar.

The Los Angeles Lakers, the superteam that has carved up countless Gold Cups with the Celtics, after O'Neal left. Finally stood on the highest stage again.

The game in the west is far less tragic than previously imagined, although in terms of record, the west properly crushed the east, but when the game started, it did not have the meat grinder-like sense of fighting in the east.

In the western game, many times the winner is decided in the details.

Originally, this season, Chen Mu was very optimistic that the Lakers could win the championship. Because in the original timeline, the Lakers' trade occurred in the middle of the season, and by the playoffs, including the Finals, the Lakers could not be considered a run-in. Facing the Celtics, who have also not found the best way to run in, the Lakers lost a pity.

Another team in the West, however, changed all that.

The Phoenix Suns, a super powerhouse that made Arizona fans cheer, welcomed Howard, and the strength of the inside and outside lines, and the balance of offense and defense at both ends reached the highest peak.

If it weren't for Howard's technical foul in Game 5, if it wasn't for the killing by Kobe Bryant in Game 6, if it wasn't for Nash's desperate shot that suspected of being fouled in Game 7......

Arizona fans can give many reasons to excuse their home team and tell how bad the Lakers won but the result is the result and cannot be changed.

4-3, the Lakers advanced, the Suns lost, and the matchup between the two teams with a luxurious lineup was exciting and exciting, becoming the most talked-about round series of the two regional games in the playoffs this year.

And this round of the series made the Lakers, who were far away in the West, also feel the pain of the UNDERDOG team in the East that was eliminated not long ago.

Exhaustion.

The Lakers were physically and mentally exhausted after seven tough games, and the Celtics, although they also played six games, but the extra days of rest, coupled with the morale that grew as the game progressed, became the most important factor in determining the outcome of the Finals.

June 17, 2008, TD North Shore Garden Arena.

The Celtics won a gorgeous super victory, slaughtering the exhausted Los Angeles Purple and Gold 131-92 at home, leaving the old rival in the Finals again.

The Celtics, the 2008 NBA champion, deservedly deserved.

After the finals, a series of celebrations began, but they didn't last long.

REVELRY, YOU, APPLAUSE AND CHEERS FROM THE WHOLE CITY, THE GREEN SHIRTS BECAME THE HEROES AND EVENTUAL WINNERS OF THE SUMMER. At their feet, LeBron James and Kobe Bryant, two of the best players of this era, paved the road and red carpet belonging to the king with their sweat and tears.

The carnival lasted for three days, and the Celtics team, a not particularly famous, but also impressive, once because of a crazy fall to save the ball and became a Boston hero "little man", standing behind a group of bigwigs, excitedly kissing the gold cup again and again, as if this is the most glorious thing he has ever done in his life.

Eddie House, Chen Mu's old friend and good partner on the Suns' bench, contributed his light and heat as the Celtics' backup backcourt, and got the coveted reward.

At the end of the three-day carnival, House returned to Phoenix, did not rest, did not go home, and waited directly at the airport with his luggage.

Waiting for an old friend to arrive.

"Jingle Bell Bell"

When the phone rang, House still looked arrogant as he chewed gum and dismissed, reached out to pick up the phone, but his eyes couldn't stop looking at the VIP exit.

"Arrived?? Arrived?! Where?? ”

“HERE！”

A familiar voice sounded, and House saw the familiar figure at a glance.

"Chen! Over here! ”

Although House is a small man on the court, he is also a big man in life, and he stepped forward a few steps, took the suitcase in the man's hand with a smile, and said with a smile: "I'm waiting for you!" ”

"Haha, who are you fooling?"

Chen Mu also smiled, reached out and slapped House's chest and said, "Didn't you just arrive yourself?" ”

"Well, the others have already arrived, you know, quite a few of them haven't left." House smiled, put on his sunglasses, and walked back out: "Come with me, it's all booked." ”

"Healthy, huh?" Chen Mu was panicked by the incident at the bar and hurriedly asked.

"Very healthy! Drink and eat, I won't give you anything else you want! House laughed, stretched out his hand and put his hand on Chen Mu's shoulder, and muttered, "YO, it seems to be a little stronger!" And Andre didn't mess around in vain! ”

"Nonsense, I'm trying!" Chen Mu smiled, the two walked out of the airport together, and were recognized by the sharp-eyed fans to sign autographs and take pictures, of course, and finally seized the opportunity to sit in the car that House had already booked.

"Who's coming?"

After getting into the car, Chen Mu felt the domineering spirit of this luxury extended car, and asked, "The local ones must be there, Steve and Amare?" ”

"It's all there, it's all there, it's all there." House nodded, reached out and used the cocktail mixer in the car to get two glasses of fine wine, and handed one to Chen Mudao: "Boris, Sean, Kurt, Tim, they are also here." ”

"Boss Eddie's big deal! Haha, worthy of the championship! Chen Mu took the wine with a smile and took a sip.

"Don't laugh at me, okay? Your contract is 10,000 times bigger than mine, and I'll spend all your money when you win the championship!" House smiled and slapped Chen Mu.

The Phoenix Suns, a large part of the 2005 roster, were invited by Eddie House to the hot Arizona to share the joy of their championship.

After all, they used to spend a good time together in this city.

Chen Mu is the shortest time with everyone, but because of his relationship with his friends on the bench, and because he is about to return to China, he had two days to spare, and after receiving a call from House, he simply agreed to fly from Philadelphia to get together.

I haven't seen you in a long time, some people.

Although we still meet on the court, it is not the same to meet in private.

It's good to be able to recall!

Of course, you and I both know that Chen Mu's main purpose when he came to Phoenix was not to meet his former comrades-in-arms.

"Don't bring your girlfriend to play with? They all brought female companions! House squeezed his eyes at Chen Mu.

"What are you talking about, good friends, good friends, haha." Chen Mu actually blushed, but he was not too pretentious, took out his mobile phone and dialed Su Yin's number.

"I'm coming!"

As a result, before Su Yin could answer, another voice sounded on the side.

"Dad~!" Xiao Nizi shouted in disgust, looking very embarrassed.

"Haha, it's okay, it's okay, let's come along!" Chen Mu doesn't care, there are so many people!

In a hurry, leaving the last memory of this hot summer, Chen Mu chose to spend it in Arizona.

After that, it's time for the Olympics. (To be continued.) )
