Depois do 2019 NBA Finals, Golden State’s project seemed to be over, but the recovery of its stars and tweaks to the team changed everything.

What happened in the 2019 Finals may well have been the last dance of this generation of Golden State Warriors players. One of their top stars, Kevin Durant ruptured his Achilles tendon in Game 5, which would ultimately be his last game with the Warriors. And it didn’t end there, in the sixth game, where Toronto was proclaimed champion, Klay Thompson suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament, and when he was rushing his recovery in mid-2020, just like Durant also ruptured his Achilles tendon. From here on, the Guerreiros fell into a terrible slump for the following season, where they were the worst team in the NBA and, the players then imagined several finals, not another championship ring.

Os Guerreiros managed to become Campeões da NBA in an extremely complicated court as the TD Garden, against one of the best teams in the history of this sport, the celtas de Boston, with a very good score of 103-90 and with an inspired Steph Curry scoring 34 points completely carrying the offense of his team.

Finais da NBA 2022

Throughout these NBA Finals, we observed how both teams showed why they reached these instances, simply for being the best teams in the league this season. We say this because both teams managed to win against all odds in the different games of the series. For example, the Celtas surprised us by winning the first game at the Chase Center, then the Guerreiros returned the favor at the TD Garden and evened the series 2-2. Finally, the Guerreiros, being underdogs in game 6 also at TD Garden, pulled off an extraordinary victory to win their fourth title in the last 8 seasons.

Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, and Steve Kerr proclaimed, once again, the basketball revolution, the one of the triple and the rhythm, the one of the brazenness. In a “win or go home” dominated from the final minutes of the first quarter, in which Stephen Curry continued to exhibit without any complexity.

But, it was the TD Garden, the temple of the Celtas, who are very difficult to beat on their home court. Os Celtas started the game with their foot on the gas and managed to put a distance of 10 points thanks to the accurate shooting of their top offensive player, Jaylen Brown. Os Guerreiros planned their offense around Klay Thompson, but the forward could not score points.

At this point, the Celtas tinha uma vantagem de 5-14, mas o Guerreiros reforçaram a defesa e, graças a Curry, Payton e Thompson, conseguiram reduzir a diferença para 18-22. Esses 18 pontos, conquistados com muito esforço pelo Guerreiros, será lembrado por muito tempo, pois, a partir daqui o jogo mudou completamente.

Os Guerreiros montou uma defesa sólida graças às excelentes atuações de Draymond Green e Andrew Wiggins e, ofensivamente, o Golden State terminou o primeiro quarto com 3 cestas consecutivas de três pontos marcadas por Curry, Green e Poole, para conquistar a vitória parcial por 27-22 .

O segundo quarto foi o que finalmente definiu o que seria o anel do quarto campeonato para esta geração de Guerreiros. Com sua estrela estreante Jordan Poole marcando 2 cestas de três pontos consecutivas e aproveitando o colapso total do Celtic os Guerreiros extended the lead to 37-22.

Os Celtas tentou mudar a abordagem do jogo colocando um quinteto alto, mas não foi a noite para Tatum e companhia, pois Curry conseguiu fazer duas cestas de três pontos, e Wiggins também marcou outra cesta de três pontos, para fechar o segundo quarto do jogo com uma excelente vantagem de 54-39. Os Guerreiros já estavam acariciando aquele anel de campeonato.

In the third quarter, the Celtas came back stronger, they looked like the team that started the game with a lot of confidence and, above all, with a lot of faith. Their main reference was Al Horford, who never stopped believing in his team and tried to score from different places, but, when he succeeded, Steph Curry immediately returned the favor by scoring consecutive three-pointers.

With 6 minutes left in the third quarter, Steph Curry put the icing on the cake by scoring a long three-pointer that would sentence the Celtas, since the lead was 22 points. But, what the Celtas have always had is the blood of a champion and a tremendous momentum, so they did not stay with their arms crossed, and with the help of Jaylen Brown and Al Horford, they managed to bring things closer.

Although Boston managed to take the partial victory in this third quarter with a score of 27-22, the Guerreiros ainda desfrutava de uma vantagem de 76-66 no início do que seria o último quarto da temporada.

No último quarto o jogo ficou um pouco mais equilibrado, foi um dar e receber entre as duas equipes que sem dúvida beneficiou o Guerreiros que estavam desesperados para que o relógio chegasse a 0 e comemorassem o campeonato.

Os Celtas tentaram acordar faltando pouco tempo para o fim do jogo, mas o inspirado Steph Curry negou-lhes qualquer chance de chegar perto marcando de diferentes lados da quadra.

Para o Guerreiros, Steph Curry (34 pts), Andrew Wiggins (18 pts), and Jordan Poole (15 pts) stood out.

Para o Celtas, Destacaram-se Jaylen Brown (34 pontos), Al Horford (19 pontos) e Jayson Tatum (13 pontos).

Os Guerreiros are now the third team in a NBA with the most titles and hold the podium alone. Ahead of them, by far, only the Lakers e Celtics pode ostentar mais sucesso do que o Guerreiros.

Here is the record of Championships Rings after the NBA Finals 2022.

1. Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics – 17 Champion Rings
2. Golden State Warriors – 7 anéis de campeão
3. Chicago Bulls – 6 anéis de campeão
4. San Antonio Spurs – 5 anéis de campeão
5. 76ers, Detroit Pistons e Miami Heat – 3 anéis de campeão
6. NY Knicks, Houston Rockets e Milwaukee Bucks – 2 anéis de campeão

A temporada acabou, coroando mais uma vez campeã uma das melhores equipes da história, o Guerreiros do Golden State. Embora Boston tenha que esperar para provar novamente a glória, que mal conheceu neste século.

Os Celtas tem apenas um título de campeonato nos últimos 38 anos, época em que seis times tiveram mais sucesso que eles.
