But the Celtics' championship is undoubtedly the best "arrangement", although it lacks some personal heroism

Release time:Jun 18, 2024 08:44 AM

When the ribbons flying above the court melted into the green sea of joy, this result was not surprising at all! On the morning of the 18th, Beijing time, the fifth game of the NBA Finals was held at the Celtics' home court. In the end, the Celtics defeated the Mavericks 106-88, with a total score of 4-1, and won the 2023-24 season championship. This is also the 18th championship in the history of the Celtics.

In Game 4, when the Boston Celtics lost to the Dallas Mavericks by 38 points, some fans wondered: Would this be the first 0-3 comeback in NBA history? As it turns out, the probability of a miracle happening is too low.

On the same day, in the fifth game of the 2023-2024 NBA Finals, the Boston Celtics defeated the Dallas Mavericks 106-88 at home, winning the NBA championship this season with a total score of 4-1.

In the fourth game of the finals, the Celtics lost by 38 points. Many fans believed that the Celtics lost the game on purpose in order to win the championship at home and earn high ticket prices. Indeed, the Celtics, who were leading 3-1, had a chance to win the championship after 16 years. In this context, the ticket prices for this game also rose. According to US media reports, the lowest ticket price was $1,714, the average price was $2,213, and the highest ticket price for the VIP seats at the home court even reached $78,870 for two tickets. Based on the 18,624 people that the North Shore Garden can accommodate, this game will bring in more than $40 million.

Although the possibility of "match-fixing" is just speculation, judging from today's joyful championship scene, the score of 4 to 1 is indeed the best "arrangement".

The Mavericks made it to the finals despite being underdogs, which was a miracle. But obviously, if you really want to become a champion, personal heroism will not always work, after all, this is basketball.

Young, inexperienced, and lacking in depth, these are the most common comments given to the Mavericks by the outside world in this matchup of the finals. Although Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving are the league's top "double-gun combination", they lack helpers to share the pressure with them. In the last game, Lively, Daniel Gafford, PJ Washington, Maxi Kleber, and Derrick Jones Jr. all made great contributions on the defensive end. Backup guard Dante Exum performed sharply, and even Tim Hardaway Jr., a wing who had fallen out of the rotation, made full use of the garbage time of the game, hitting 5 three-pointers in the fourth quarter and easily taking 15 points.

But when the game intensity increases, when the opponent appears in a better posture on both ends of the offense and defense, the energy of these role teams is not enough to reach the stage of the finals. In the first half, the Celtics' defense against the "Eastern European combination" was simply suffocating, and various double-teams made the two repeatedly frustrated. Not only that, the Celtics also staged a terrifying execution. Until the second quarter, Hauser's three-pointer went out of bounds and the Celtics made their first turnover of the game. Under such a terrifying offense and defense, the Mavericks were blown up in the first half. Rebounds, assists, steals, free throws, almost all data were crushed by the Celtics. So I believe that after this game, the so-called "Celtics deliberately let the water" in the last game will be questioned even more.

The Celtics' crowning of glory proves their patience and foresight. The team has demonstrated its long-term planning and determination through a series of heavyweight contract extensions in recent years. In order to retain the core of the team, Tatum, the Celtics spent a five-year contract extension of up to $315 million to lock in his future in advance, demonstrating their great trust and importance in him; Jaylen Brown was elected this year's Finals MVP today, and with the honor of the Division Finals MVP, he also became a double MVP winner. The Celtics also expressed their recognition of him with a five-year, $300 million contract. This contract can be called a historic contribution, and it is enough to show the team's attention and expectations for him; in order to further consolidate the championship lineup, the Celtics signed a four-year, $126 million contract extension with Derrick White. White's speed and breakthrough ability have brought great vitality to the team; the Celtics also made a big move during the offseason last summer, successively introducing high center forwards Porzingis and Holiday...

As the saying goes, a lot of accumulation leads to a sudden burst of energy. Since the 2016-17 season, the Celtics have reached the conference finals 6 times in the past 8 seasons, and have reached the Eastern Conference finals 4 times in the last 5 seasons. They have also reached the Eastern Conference finals for three consecutive seasons, making them the team that has reached the most conference finals in the same period. This season, in the regular season, the Celtics won 64 games and became the regular season champion team, with a winning rate ranking first in the league and far ahead of the teams behind them - they have the best chance to win the championship, and they have seized the opportunity. Although the Celtics' championship lacks some personal heroism that fans like to see, it is well deserved and justified.
