With the championship in sight, Ke Yan maintained his sanity to the greatest extent.Instead of rushing to kill the Suns with one stick, he played steadily and steadily, with a normal rotation lineup to ensure that the physical advantage of the team's main lineup can be maximized in the second half.

Some people think that he missed the opportunity. If the main players can continue the performance of the first quarter in the second quarter and don't give the Suns any chance to breathe, maybe the second half of the game will become "showtime".

If it wasn't for the finals, with Ke Yan's character, there is a high probability that he would have set up like this.

The importance of the finals caused Ke Yan to lose his previous "spirit". Perhaps when there was a headwind, he would try to change the situation through changes; but when the wind was down, Ke Yan could not help but become conservative.

"Above four vs. middle four", the Suns had a little advantage in the first half of the second quarter. Even though Ke Yan replaced Paul and Joe Johnson in advance to control the field, they still recovered some points. (46:37)

But this is the last hope for the Suns this season.In the second half of the second quarter, Garnett.Shane Battier went into battle, and the Eagles immediately took the initiative on the scene.The Eagles have improved their defensive strength, and the Suns are gradually unable to keep up with the rhythm of the Eagles.

"There have always been rumors that the Timberwolves were more willing to trade Garnett to the Suns to get Stoudemire, the core of the team. It's just that the Suns rejected the deal and were only willing to trade Marion. Now it seems that because of their own hesitation, they may have lost the first championship in team history." The point difference has returned to double digits, and it is getting bigger and bigger, Yoga regretted for the Suns.

Although Stoudemire has a strong destructive power, he is also younger than Garnett, so he can't be regarded as "change money" anyway.But compared to Garnett's versatility, his weakness is still too obvious, and considering the factor of "peak overlap", the Suns bet on "Nash + Garnett" is obviously more promising.

"Moreover, Joe Johnson was also handed over to the Eagles by the Suns. There are reasons why the Eagles are in the East and their strength is far from the Suns, and there may also be a personal relationship between D'Antoni and Ke Yan. But I really didn't expect that Ke Yan He brought the Eagles to the finals within two years, and became the sharpest offensive knife of the Eagles!" Zhang Lili also said with emotion, "If it happens again, maybe D'Antoni would rather keep Joe Johnson in the West than Not going to the Eagles again."

Signing and replacing Joe Johnson, giving up the chance to trade for Garnett, plus banning the more sophisticated and difficult Spurs.In a sense, the Eagles' ability to win the championship this season is really thanks to the Suns for their efforts.

At the end of the half, the Eagles led 66 to 49, and the victory was in sight.

The third quarter of the game became the cheering time for the Eagles home fans.Every time the Eagles scored a goal or the Suns missed a goal, the fans at the Phillips Center cheered enthusiastically, and the atmosphere was full.

Encouraged by the fans in the audience, the Eagles players became more and more courageous, while the Suns collapsed. The point difference once reached more than 30 points, and the game completely lost its suspense.

The game entered garbage time. In the last quarter of the game, Ke Yan asked the stars to rest off the court. The fans on the scene have already started various "reorganizations" to celebrate the second championship in team history, and it is also the first championship since the Eagles moved to Atlanta!

The entire fourth quarter was a public execution of the Suns players, Nash and Stoudemire.The faces of Marion were ashamed. After three years of hard work, they finally broke through the blockade of the Spurs and the Mavericks and reached the finals. Unexpectedly, they were defeated by their old friends!

And the Hawks bench also started to celebrate in advance, and players came to hug Ke Yan from time to time to express their thanks to him.

In the entire Eagles team, only Dior stayed in the team before Ke Yan came, and the other players were all brought by Ke Yan. This team is completely under the kneading of Ke Yan to form a strong team. .In terms of rewards for meritorious deeds, Keyan definitely deserves the greatest credit.

Wang Lifan in the auditorium was also the focus of the fans, and the fans beside her hugged her and expressed their "thank you" to her.

Among the Eagles, the most emotional is the veteran Webber.In order to join the Eagles and strive for a championship ring, Webber gave up $76 million in the buyout agreement with the 500ers, and his performance in the Eagles can only be said to be quite satisfactory, occasionally showing extraordinary.But in any case, all the sacrifices are worth it to get a ring in return.

Time was slowly running out, and the players on the Eagles high-fived each other. The former "partners" Ke Yan and D'Antoni also came to shake hands near the halfway line. Digest slowly by yourself.

Finally, when the time ran out and the red light came on, Gibson threw the ball into the air, and then hugged his teammates regardless.

Garnett looked up at the trombone, and he didn't know what he was howling. The words that Ke Yan could probably understand were "Mom! Mom!"

Paul excitedly ran up and down the court. In the second year of his career, he won a championship ring as a core player, which is simply perfect! The meme "West Finals floor" will never appear again!

Joe Johnson hugged his teammates one by one, with an uncontrollable smile on the corner of his mouth.At the beginning, he chose the Eagles because the Eagles offered the highest salary, and he also felt that he could play the role of "big master" in the Eagles, and at the same time strive to lead the team back to the playoffs. "Championship" is not among his considerations.

Who would have thought that the progress would be so smooth, but in the second year of joining the Eagles, the team has overcome all difficulties and won the championship ring that many players have struggled to chase in their entire lives. All this is so worth it!

In addition to veteran players like Webber and Bobby Jackson, Milicic also cried miserably. This is his second championship ring in his rookie contract. This season, Milicic has made his own contribution to the Eagles' championship ring, and also proved that he can gain a foothold in the NBA.

It's a pity that due to contract issues, he has already played his last game with the Eagles, and he has to go on his own in the future!

"Ke Yan, may I ask, how does it feel to win the championship?" After finding Ke Yan and Wang Lifan from the chaotic scene, Zhang Lili interrupted the happiness of the two, and interviewed Ke Yan.

"It's like when Never agreed to my pursuit, it feels the same!" Ke Yan looked at Wang Lifan beside him, who showed a sly smile, and then turned his face away.

"MUA!" A scene that surprised Zhang Lili appeared, Ke Yan kissed Wang Lifan's cheek in front of the camera.Looking back at the camera, there was no embarrassment.

Well, after all, I have lived abroad for so many years, so it is understandable to be westernized in my style!Zhang reasonably speculated.

"The Eagles have had a great season this season. It has undoubtedly been a great season. Do you have the confidence to continue the glory of this season next season?"

"I don't know if I can continue to have such a great season, I don't know if I can continue to win the championship. I only know that I brought back the second championship trophy in the history of the Eagles! YES!" Ke Yan said excitedly. shouted into the camera.

"If you have wine today, you will be drunk today, and you will be sad tomorrow." This is Ke Yan's most real thought now.

"Bang! Bang!" There were several consecutive sounds, and the ribbons floated down from the sky above the stadium.

Dior and Gibson found a large bucket of Gatorade from nowhere, quietly walked around behind Ke Yan, counted "3, 2, 1" with their fingers, and then poured the whole bucket down on Ke Yan!

And this scene was also recorded by the camera, Zhang Lili also showed a strange smile, and Wang Lifan beside Ke Yan had noticed it in advance, but was only slightly splashed.

His whole body was wet, and his hair was messy and completely out of shape.It is impossible for the league to let Ke Yan, the face value in the coaching world, take the stage to accept the award with such an image.

Amidst the cheers of the fans, Ke Yan returned to the locker room to wash and change clothes.On the other hand, Zhang Lili caught the Frenchman Dior, and the two "Wai Guoren", whose mother tongue is not English, completed a "chicken and duck talk" interview in English.

When he walked out of the locker room again, Ke Yan put on the T-shirts that the team had prepared in advance. The players had already put on their championship caps, and they were waiting for Ke Yan to take the stage.

Three steps and two steps, Ke Yan quickly took the stage, and was immediately "sent" to the C position by everyone. Everyone respected Ke Yan very much.

Queen's band "wearethechampions" resounded through the Phillips Center, president David Stern presented the championship trophy, and all players, coaches, and staff cheered together.

Garnett won the FMVP without any suspense, achieving the great achievement of double MVP in a single season.Received the trophy excitedly, and delivered his acceptance speech: "I am very lucky to be able to join the Eagles. If Kimi hadn't personally gone to Minnesota last year, I don't think I would have stood on the championship podium this season so soon. Winning the championship is all we have. I am very happy to have such a group of great teammates...”

Garnett Barbara said a lot and thanked a lot of people.

After the awards ceremony, everyone attended the celebration banquet together.Anthony Ressler, Larry Sander and other high-level team members have made arrangements and are waiting at the venue.

At the party, these heroes can drink and enjoy freely.There are also some "celebrities" at the party, and there are people of all levels.This is also the culture of NBA teams. Everyone plays so hard for higher quality enjoyment.

In fact, players like Curry and Yao Ming who have a clean private life by word of mouth will also go to this kind of player party. It is very simple to clean themselves up. Curry directly took his wife to go, while Yao Ming went there symbolically. , to leave before midnight. . . . . .

. . . . . .

The next day, Ke Yan woke up from a hangover with a dull headache.

At the party last night, he was relatively restrained, but the hospitality was hard to bear, and he finished a whole bottle of champagne by himself.

Champagne has a good taste and is not easy to get drunk when drinking, but it has a really strong aftertaste. Even after a night, Ke Yan still feels dizzy.

Walking out of the room, Wang Lifan and Huo Qingshu were both in the living room, and Huo Qingshu even bought porridge and fried rice for Ke Yan.

"Oh, thank you. I want to eat something hot right now." Ke Yan turned around and took a basketball from the room to Huo Qingshu, "This is yesterday's game ball."

Not only is it the Eagles' championship ball, but it also has the signatures of the entire Eagles team on it, which is extremely valuable for collection.

"Such a precious gift!"

"I have meat to eat with my brother~" Ke Yan took a sip of the porridge, only feeling a little better in his stomach.

While Ke Yan was eating breakfast, the phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Larry Sander calling.

"Larry, what can I do for you?" Ke Yan answered the phone.

"Kimi, the draft will be held in a few days. I want to confirm with you again whether we will do nothing. In addition, we also need to consider the issue of team members."

Before the end of the season, Keyan refused to discuss these, so as not to shake the morale of the army.Since the team reached the finals, the team's summer schedule is much slower than other teams.

"Well, at three o'clock this afternoon, I'll go to your office to discuss."

At the end of the 0607 season, the contracts of Milicic, Webber, Bobby Jackson, Stevens, Mbenga, and PJ Tucker in the Eagles all expired. Hassell, who holds a three-year contract of 3 million, is also on the team. on the team's cleanup list.If nothing else, the team's bench will undergo a rebuild.

"Okay." Larry Sander agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Ke Yan saw Huo Qingshu looking at him in surprise: "Your championship celebration hasn't been held yet, and now we're going to discuss next season?"

This is too busy, right?

"What do you think, the draft is still one week away, and the free agent market is still two weeks away. If you don't work now, do you wait for revenge next season?" Ke Yan wrinkled his nose and said.

Think about it, as a coach, he feels that playing in the finals will affect his rest, and he is more tired than stopping in the second round last season, not to mention the bloody players on the court.

This is because many dynasty teams will let go of some regular seasons to a certain extent, and the consumption is really too great!

In the afternoon, Ke Yan showed up at the team office on time and met with Larry Sander to discuss the issue of contract renewal.

"Last year, after we chose to renew the contract with Boris Dior, Darko's departure was already inevitable."

Milicic's new contract is at least a quasi-full middle class, more than 600 million. The Eagles already have 2100 million Garnett and 900 million Diaw, and it is impossible to invest more money in the interior.

"Chris Anderson, as the first substitute inside, is completely sufficient. I have conducted trial training on him to ensure that he can be of great help to us." Ke Yan recommended Anderson, not only "to The virtuous do not avoid relatives", promoting one's cronies, mainly because Birdman has indeed performed well after returning from suspension in history.

Although he and Milicic have two paths, and there is no way to replace his role, he has his strengths, and his strength is indeed good.

"We will definitely sign the candidate you gave." Larry Sand agreed to give Anderson a basic salary without saying a word.

The point is the basic salary, save money!

"DeShawn should choose to leave the team. He joined the team to be gilded. Now that his goal has been achieved, he should be more sought after in the free agent market."

In terms of strength, Stevens is indeed a starting-level wing with excellent defense. After transitioning to 3D, his three-point shooting has also risen steadily. He is indeed a good player.It's a pity that the Eagles can't give him the contract he wants, and they can't give him the main position.

Ke Yan didn't have much opinion on this.

"There is no need to keep the two veterans, Webber and Bobby Jackson. After these veterans win the championship and realize their dreams, whether they can continue to play a normal role is a question mark. I don't want the team to become the second Heat team."

The Heat relied on a group of veterans to assist Wade to win the championship and did not change blood in time. As a result, this season has declined significantly. This is a lesson for the Eagles.

"I will study the list of free agents in detail, and I will give you a candidate at that time."
