: 1572. Before the finals

The stage of the Finals, Phillips Arena ... Josh Smith feels familiar with all this, but this time, he returned to the stadium as an opponent.
Just as Rahim got cheers and applause in the first game of the Eastern Conference, the fans who just gave O'Neill a shrill boo, stood up and applauded Josh Smith.
Josh Smith became an All-Star, was selected to the best team, and played so well in the Western Conference. With Nash and O'Neal and others, he led the team to the finals. The Eagles fans were very happy for Josh Smith.
When Josh Smith was traded away, the Hawks fans were very reluctant. Josh Smith's talent was too good. He only looked at his physical condition, did not lose to LeBron James, and specialized in pick and roll attacking the basket. Time is very good.
But because of this, the Hawks can't keep him and can't give him the team role he wants.
If Josh Smith wanted all the money and could play like Marion, Price would definitely keep him, but obviously not.
Of course, if Josh Smith and his team lose in this final, fans on the spot will be more happy.
O'Neill and Josh Smith are already used to this stage, and they feel that they should stand on this stage.
But the best player of the Suns, even if he has tried to adjust his emotions before, when he enters the court, he still feels a bit ...
Since defeating Liu Mang in the first round of this year's playoffs, "King of the West Finals" Kobe Bryant, Nash has always felt like living in a dream for 12 years. It was finally on this stage.
"Is this the final?"
This is also the first time Nash has seen the Hawks as an opponent wearing the team's T-shirt or the Hawks jersey with the Chinese character "Rogue" on the chest at home.
In the early years of the 102nd season and the 0203 season, the Eagles fans did not have a strong sense of belonging. Except for the members of the "Rogue League", few fans in the regular season wore Eagles team t-shirts or jerseys to watch the game. The team won 70 ... At this time, the Eagles fans had "disdain" the team's t-shirt for the regular season opponents.
In the short transition period of the first half of the 0304 season, it happened that the Hawks and Suns did not play again ...
This is the first time Nash has reached the finals, and it is really the first time to see the Eagles fans so passionate.
Nash was so excited to hear the boos from the fans on the scene!
but……
When the opposing player came out and saw the familiar faces on the opposite side, Nash felt overwhelmed.
The benches standing in the two rows are Grant Hill, Jermaine O'Neal, Brad Miller, Michael Finley, Dwyane Wade and Jason Terry!
The Big Five is even more terrible. McGrady, Kwame Brown, Marion ... Even Rondo, the penultimate player, is now a hot new-generation point guard, squeezing Liu Mang to the shooting guard position.
After Rondo's appearance, the voice of "MVP" sounded on the spot. Nash fixed his eyes and the strongest man in the world came out!
Liu Mang is used to being watched by people on such occasions, and he hasn't paid any attention. He is also observing the Suns players.
"Steve Nash, ability evaluation 95; La Gabell, ability evaluation 80; Jason Richardson, ability evaluation 87; Josh Smith ability evaluation 90; Shaq O’Neal, ability evaluation 90; Jose Calderon, ability evaluation 82; Leonard Barbosa, ability evaluation 79, Boris Dior, ability evaluation 81 ... "
Looking at the ability evaluation of the Suns again, Liu Mang believes that the Suns can make it to the finals.
Their head coach Gentry did much better than D'Antoni!
The most amazing thing about Liu Mang is Josh Smith. After four years, the slam dunk that entered the NBA that year, after the Hawks laid the foundation, went to the Suns and quickly became the top-level superstar!
"Ability evaluation 90, offense 88, defense 92, three-point 79, 68 shot, layup 94, speed 90, strength 91 ..."
When Liu Mang was around, Josh Smith was laying the foundation and learned to work hard and specialize in one aspect. When he was next to Nash, Josh Smith learned the mind, and had developed to 94 in the interior. After the ultimate evaluation of the layup, he started to develop three points, step by step, but progressed faster!
After a year, Josh Smith's three-point evaluation has been raised to 79!
The players of the two teams are a lot of teammates with each other. After the entrance ceremony, the players of the two teams came to greet the court. Wade and O'Neill felt that when they were teammates, they did not reach the finals. Now they are opponents in the finals. ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Nash is saying hello to two old teammates, Finley and Marion. The Hawks and Suns have many old teammates.
Liu Mang and Josh Smith chatted in front of the technical desk.
"Josh, what to do, I feel so excited to see you so powerful now!"
"You don't have to be so happy for me, really, boss Ace, don't do that!"
"Since you still call me the boss, then I will definitely go all out to show you my progress in the past two years!"
After saying hello and taking pictures with the stars, socialites, and celebrities on the sidelines, there was not much time until the finals began.
After the complicated half-hour pre-game process of the first game, the game was about to begin. Liu Mang sprinkled magnesium powder into the air and played with his teammates.
The Hawks have returned to the lineup of Rondo, Liu Mang, Tracy McGrady, Marion and Kwame Brown.
On the Suns side, Nash, La Gabell, Jason Richardson, Josh Smith, O'Neal lineup debut.
Rondo came to the free throw line to wait for his teammates to win the jumper. He returned to the lineup, representing that the Hawks finals are ready to play defense.
It ’s not that Wade does n’t play defense, but Wade plays. The rotation defense will drop a lot. When playing the Magic, Rondo suffered a lot from Howard. Although the outside Nelson ’s defense is not particularly good, It ’s okay, but Nash O’Neal compares with Nelson Howard ...
Mainly because the Suns have two lineups.
Liu Mang and La Gabell stood on both sides of the center line. The two were also old rivals. After playing the game of lock throat, Kwame Brown came to the middle circle. O'Neill and Kwame Brown stood side by side. The third time in the postseason The game played, although Josh Smith may have jumped the ball better, but O'Neill can't say he can't ...
At eight o'clock, the referee blew the whistle at the beginning of the game and threw the ball into the air!
