Chapter 1355 Finals
"Guoguo, why don't you take it out?" the girl said with a smile.
The little girl ran to the back of the sofa with a smile and took out two small paper boxes.
"Little things, they are hidden very well." Liu Xiaoli joked.
"Brother, Niu Niu, look at what your sister prepared for you?" The girl called the two sons who were digging in the pile of toys.
"Sister..." Li Yi and Li Yang looked at the little sister.
The twins were one year old and could walk very neatly and talk, but not very fluently.
After the two younger brothers came over, Guoguo gave each of them a small paper box and said proudly: "I got this with great difficulty. They refused to give it to me, so I beat them up before giving it to me."
"Robbed? You robbed things in kindergarten again?" The girl and the others were speechless.
"It's not robbed, this is a trophy." Guoguo quickly explained.
The others were speechless and quickly looked at what Guoguo's trophy was.
At this time, Li Yi and Li Yang had already clumsily opened the small paper box. Several people looked inside and found that there were several silkworms inside.
"You fought again just for them? Didn't I tell you not to fight?" the girl lamented.
"Hehe..."
Guoguo knew that she was in the wrong, laughed dryly and hid behind Li Ba.
The girl glared at Li Ba and said, "Do you think you are spoiled?"
"Hehe, it's better to rob others than to be robbed by others." Li Ba defended.
Except for the three children, several adults were speechless. This is the upper-down effect.
On the 18th, the Thunder arrived in Phoenix.
Li Ba invited Marbury and Westbrook to dinner at the Senbei Restaurant.
Marbury is still in the Thunder, and his contract will end this season.
"Iron Hammer, are you really leaving?" Marbury asked with concern.
"There are many reasons. As for the sport itself, basketball without confrontation is not the basketball I like. I have everything now. Since I don't like this kind of basketball, why should I stay?" Li Ba smiled.
Marbury thought about it, nodded, and agreed with Li Ba's statement.
On the 19th, the Western Conference Finals began.
The Suns should not be too relaxed against the Thunder.
The Thunder's inside line is not even as good as the Spurs. They can beat the Spurs because of the young and strong Thunder's two young players. Now they are facing the Suns, who also have a young lineup, and this advantage is gone.
Payton put Drummond in the starting lineup again. Although Zhuang Shen is a rookie, his talent is there. The Thunder's center Serge Ibaka is average. Even if he is not dominant, he can still hold the point of the fifth position.
Li Ba plays the third position and strangles the point of the Grim Reaper. The Thunder will no longer have the biggest and most reliable scoring point. Only Westbrook is left, and it is difficult to support alone.
On the offensive end, Li Ba exerted a strong impact. Whether it was dribbling in with the ball or dunking after running without the ball, the Thunder were embarrassed.
On the 27th, after four games of the Western Conference Finals series, the Suns easily and steadily completed the sweep of the Thunder and successfully entered the finals.
"Kevin, Russell, stay in Phoenix and watch me win the championship." After the last game, Harden proudly shouted to Durant and Westbrook.
The two really didn't plan to leave. Li Ba was about to leave the league, and they wanted to see his last finals.
The Eastern Conference Finals also started on the 22nd. By the 26th, the first three games had been played, and the Heat led 2-1.
The time of the finals has been set and will be held on June 6th.
Whether it is the Heat or the Pacers, the record in the regular season is not as good as the Suns, so the finals G1G2 will be held in Phoenix, and the Suns have the home advantage.
On June 1st, the Eastern Conference Finals ended, and the Heat eliminated the Pacers 4-2 and entered the finals.
This finals is truly watched by the whole world, because this is probably Li Ba's last NBA finals and also Li Ba's last few games in this league.
Countless reporters gathered in Phoenix, and a large number of stars from various sessions also gathered in Phoenix. The relevant news dominated the headlines of major media for several consecutive days, and the search volume of major network platforms ranked first in the world.
The average price of the finals ticket reached nearly 10,000 US dollars, and the first row ticket was as high as 100,000 US dollars, and the black market scalper ticket was even higher.
But the tickets for the two finals of G1 and G2 were still sold out. The fans who bought the tickets were not only from Phoenix, but 80% came from all over the United States and even all over the world.
In order to meet the desire of local fans to watch the game, the Phoenix City Government laid large TV screens in major squares, which can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people to watch the game at the same time.
On June 6, the 2012-2013 NBA Finals kicked off.
From the Suns headquarters to the American West Arena, the road was full of Suns fans, all wearing white No. 68 jerseys, and countless large photos of Li Ba were held high by fans.
At 6 pm, the team's bus slowly drove out of the headquarters. At this time, countless fans shouted "Hammer" one after another, and the shouts quickly spread throughout Phoenix.
Li Ba stood up from his seat and silently looked at these fans who supported him, and his eyes were actually a little hot.
When he raised his hand to greet the fans, the shouts suddenly rose, and they were extremely excited.
At 7 o'clock, it took a full hour for the bus to enter the parking lot of the American West Arena.
At this time, Yatou drove the car and took the whole family out of the villa.
This was Li Ba's last NBA game, and it was the finals, so the whole family went out, including Li Yi and Li Yang, who had just turned one year old.
The two little ones haven't seen their dad live yet. If they don't go now, they won't have the chance, so they went this time.
Along the way, the girl saw countless fans wearing her husband's home jerseys. They shouted "Hammer" and held up large photos of their husbands.
At this moment, she felt extremely proud.
She witnessed all the championships her husband won and all his glory. Now, she is witnessing his departure, so in addition to pride, she also has a lot of sadness and emotion.
Since 2005, she has lived in this city for almost 9 years. Except for Wuhan, this is the city where she has stayed the longest, leaving her with many memories.
Now, it's time to leave.
At 8 o'clock, the starting lineup was announced.
Heat: Millsap, Derrick Favors, James, Wade, Deron Williams.
Suns: Drummond, Li Ba, Jimmy Butler, George Hill, Harden.
The game will start at 8:30. Before that, the TV broadcaster will start the lineup analysis.
On the TNT live broadcast, Barkley said: "The Heat lowered the height of the inside line and increased the speed and flexibility of the inside line by trading Gasol. So far, they are playing well, but we need to use the finals, the Suns, and the Hammers to test whether this trade and this lineup are correct."
