Chapter 286: This is the year the Lakers win the championship!
After the game, reporters asked how it felt to win the first game.
Kobe's answer was low-key and unremarkable.
“The mood is naturally very exciting, everyone on the team put in all their efforts and then won the game they deserved.
We have already reached the finals, and the opponent will not be so easy.
The Celtics are a traditionally strong team, and it will be challenging to beat them..."
In fact, it’s just a G1 battle, there’s not much to say, and too much to say will lead to many mistakes.
The Lakers just won the necessary games. Kobe was not arrogant and said something to irritate his opponents. It was really comfortable to say such things, but it would only increase the difficulty of the game. This is not what a smart person should do.
Su Bei also accepted the interview. Tonight, he was like a firefly in the dark night. He performed so brilliantly and was so good that he couldn't hide it no matter how much he wanted to.
"I was able to hit those three-pointers because my teammates were so reliable.
While they sound nice, they are all talented on the court. They can open up space, contain opponents, and make beautiful assists. The rest is as simple as "catching the ball and shooting."
There is nothing worthy of praise, the opponent is very strong, they defend the basket and the two-point area airtight, and use a chain-like defense to lock down our offense.
Fortunately, the game is fair and there are only 5 people on the basketball court.
The Celtics chose to use the two-point area as the main battlefield for their defense, and they must not be able to take into account the area outside the three-point line.
It just so happens that the meaning of my existence on the court is to make those open three-pointers, and I can't do what they want."
Back at his residence, Su Bei couldn't wait to open the information prompt.
"Ding, get the favorability points of Black Mamba Kobe!"
"Ding, gain the favorability of my sister-in-law Gasol!"
"Ding, get Lama Odom's favorability value 9999!"
"Ding, get Truth Pierce's rage value 9999!"
"Ding, get the gentleman Lei Lei Allen's anger value of 6666!
"
"Ding, get the hard special Garnett rage value of 5555!
"
"..."
"It's not bad. After all, Kobe waited three years to get his things back, which proved his strength.
Players such as Odom and Gasol must be dreaming at this time!
After ten years of waiting and seven years of itch, finally, finally reaching the highest level and winning the first battle, the emotions are naturally full.
As for the anger level, it's a little flat, which is understandable. After all, I'm not the team's number one brother, so any resentment will naturally not be directed at me.
It's like blaming Benzema if you want to blame him. That's what he said, but if it really comes down to it, he won't be the one with the biggest anger. This is just a joke..."
Fortunately, no matter how angry you are, you will make money.
Don't worry, there are at least three games left!
There will always be an opportunity.
Time flies, and two days have passed in the blink of an eye.
June 9, Staples Center Arena.
Night falls.
At this time, the Lakers were about to host their G2 game against the Celtics at home. The lights were bright and there was a sea of people.
During the warm-up, by this time, the real fire was almost coming out, and there was nothing to talk about. It was very cheap for a few cents, but it was all saved. It was just a matter of saying hello and that was all.
The Celtics' top five, Perkins, Garnett, Pierce, Ray Allen, Rondo.
Lakers five players, Gasol, Odom, Su Bei, Kobe, Fisher.
This game will be broadcast live on TNT Radio, with Mike Breen, Barkley and Kenny Smith, plus defensive coach Jeff Van Gundy forming a commentary team.
"Sure enough, the Green Army becomes a bad guy when they play away games. It's not surprising that they lost the last G1 game.
This is the style of the Green Army, the away game is a cat game and the home game is a tiger game.
On the surface, the winning rate is still 50-50, but in fact, with the Green Army’s style, I guess the Lakers’ chance of winning can reach 80%.”
"I think you're right.
However, the G2 game is very important to the Green Army. It is not a good thing to return to the home court with a score of 0 to 2, even for three consecutive home games. As a result, the Green Army has too few opportunities to make mistakes.
If the Green Army doesn't win this game, it will be difficult for them to recover if they lose one of the three home games they return to.
Therefore, it is very likely that the Green Army will fight tooth and nail in this game.
In addition, the flaw of the finals experience should not continue to trouble the Green Army. The next game will definitely be an anxious battle.
The Lakers have a great chance of winning, and the advantage lies with him. In the end, it is very likely that he will win this game, and he will also waste a lot of effort."
"It's true. In the G1 game, none of the Green Army's three giants were normal.
As long as one or two of the three giants perform well in the G2 game, the scene will not be as one-sided as the G1 game.
Of course, it also depends on the state and performance of the stars on both sides on the court. After three days, the Lakers can no longer look at the Green Army with the old eyes..."
The game begins!
The scene was very strange, and there was no anxious competition.
The Lakers' offense went very smoothly.
In the first three minutes, the Celtics only had Ray Allen's first two-point shot, and the rest of their shots were all solid.
The Lakers attacked the basket very resolutely, and while getting free throws, their mid-range shooting percentage was also very high.
In the first three minutes, the Lakers launched a 9-2 offensive wave and took a 7-point lead.
I originally thought that the Celtics would resist fiercely, but unexpectedly, they seemed to fall flat.
Pierce continued to play music and then went undercover. Under Su Bei's watch and defense, he couldn't understand basketball and couldn't find his shooting touch.
Ray Allen only opened 50-50. After all, it was Kobe who was guarding him. It was difficult to make an explosive performance.
Then, Garnett was beaten, unable to attack, unable to defend, nothing.
Everyone eats sister-in-law...no, it's a day to eat dumplings. Even if Odom spends a lot of time out of contact, he still has a strong and hard day.
Is it hard there?
Of course it's hard to hit the waves.
In a word: too accurate.
"Odom took the outside line as a pivot, Garnett made the save, and Odom chose to pass the ball.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Kobe, Su Bei and Fisher will attack the Green Army's basket, dunk or draw fouls.
If Garnett doesn't guard against it, Odom's gun will draw blood..."
Garnett also has a day when he can't stand it.
What do you use to top it up?
Odom made 6 of 6 shots and 1 of 2 free throws. He was in such a hot state that he could shoot no matter what. He blocked the shot in the face and still hit it. It was like a ghost.
Scored an incredible 13 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists in a single quarter.
And this is just an offensive performance.
The defense was also very explosive, preventing Garnett from making 0 of 3 shots, scoring zero points, and only getting two rebounds.
From 9 to 2 in the first 3 minutes to the next 7 minutes, the Green Army uses real-life examples to tell you what it means to be stronger but not the strongest.
In these 7 minutes, the Green Army only scored 5 points.
The Lakers, driven by Odom's shining performance, scored 19 points as a team.
Coupled with the performance in the first 3 minutes, the Green Army was defeated. With 2 minutes left in the first quarter, the score was already 28-7, and the Lakers took a 21-point lead.
And this is not over yet. Su Bei scored a three-pointer with a three-pointer, Kobe's breakthrough and foul, Gasol's free throws, and Ariza's troubles on the court.
The Green Army's state has improved somewhat, but they still can't stop the Lakers who are firing on all cylinders.
After the first quarter, the score was 14-38. The Lakers went on a killing spree and took a 24-point lead.
“It’s incredible!
This is a mysterious game!
"
"Who can tell me what happened?
The league's No. 1 defensive team, a team with the highest defensive level in the history of the league, are you telling me that they were defeated in one game?
Is there any royal law?
Is there still a law?”
"This is not a game that should be played in a finals.
It can only be said that the Celtics are not ready to compete for the championship offensively, at least on the road, they are not ready to compete for the championship..."
To be fair, in the previous life, in the 2008 finals, such an outrageous situation occurred not just once, but twice, three times, or even more.
If the Lakers have better luck, they can completely sweep the Celtics in a 4-0 game.
As a result, G1 lost out to the Return of the King script, which Pierce directed and starred in.
G2 was still in disarray. The head coach chose the wrong style of play, which made the Lakers dig too deep in the first three quarters. The Lakers launched a magical attack in the fourth quarter, scoring 41 points in a single quarter, and only missed the chase by 2 points.
He couldn't turn the game around either.
At that time, I felt that if the Lakers put all their strength into offense, they could defeat the Celtics.
Returning to the home court, let’s not mention G3. In G4, it is very likely that Odom’s explosion in the first quarter will bring the score to the same starting line.
However, the Lakers led by 21 points in the first quarter, but were miraculously reversed.
The Green Army's defense was very strong, and the Lakers also played an inexplicable game, losing their luck in the entire series.
The reason is that Kobe and his teammates never broke out on the same channel.
Or maybe Kobe Bryant descended from heaven and challenged the entire Green Army by himself, missing the game by hundreds of millions of points.
Otherwise, his teammates suddenly broke out, and Kobe spent too much in the first few games and was unable to maintain his offensive firepower in the subsequent games, wasting all kinds of good games.
The emergence of Jiangsu Province has changed this on-time situation.
In the second quarter, the Green Army's Posey broke out, but failed to recover many points.
In the second half of the game, Subei's offense was targeted, but he couldn't score, and neither could Pierce.
The Lakers' small forward position is no longer occupied by the three Musketeers of Walton, Radmanovic and Vujacic. It has not become a cash machine, and there is no need for Kobe to fill the hole.
Especially with Su Bei's three-point containment, offensively, the Big Three of the Green Army had no choice. The three of them worked together to encircle and suppress Kobe Bryant.
The Lakers' offense collapsed in the third quarter, but they maintained a 13-point advantage heading into the final quarter.
Then, the Lakers broke out in the fourth quarter, using everyone's strength and more offensive firepower to blast the Green Army with a 39-25 shock wave.
Among them, the most handsome boy is no longer Su Bei, but Vujacic. His handsome, dashing and accurate shooting is simply picturesque.
No wonder she can be regarded as a soft-boiled boy. Her long hair is wet with sweat, and she flicks it when shooting, revealing her peerless beauty. She can naturally conquer thousands of girls... Sharapova is the representative of thousands of girls.
In this game, Vujacic made 7 of 10 shots, 3 of 5 three-pointers, and 3 of 4 free throws. He scored 20 points and 4 rebounds. He is not to be messed with in the contract year. His explosive strength is terrifying.
Buzz——!
As the buzzer sounded and the red light sounded, the full game time ended. The score was 123 to 104. The Lakers had a 19-point advantage, defeating the Celtics and taking a 2-0 lead.
Odom had a fantastic start, but he made 8 of 11 shots and got 19 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists. This is very Odom, very talented, but not ambitious enough, and not focused on the game. He only scored 13 points and 5 rebounds in the first quarter.
Next, the remaining three quarters of the game were 2 2 2 6 points, which was simply a two-for-one situation.
With this style of play, it was easy to trick teammates into thinking they could lie down, but to their surprise, Odom was the first to lie down.
He hasn't told you yet that such a teammate is really a backstabber. If he hadn't been talented and well-spoken, sending him to lead the bench would have been his ultimate fate.
Kobe made 8 of 19 rebounds and scored 23 points, 11 assists and 5 rebounds. He was one sewer job away from a triple-double. His performance was not bad. After all, as the league's top shooting guard, he has surpassed the statistics. Whether the statistics are good or not depends on it.
What matters is how Kobe chooses, whether to attack or receive, the performance is different.
Gasol's 17 points and 10 rebounds were mediocre and enough.
Su Bei only scored 10 points, 4 assists and 4 rebounds, which seemed to be a strain on his hips.
However, whether to stretch the hips or not depends on comparison.
Opposing Subei was Pierce, who made 6 of 15 shots, 0 of 4 three-pointers, and only scored 20 points, 7 assists and 4 rebounds. In comparison, as a role player, the Subei people can still have half the combat power of superstar Pierce.
, how can it be said to be a crotch pull?
Ray Allen had 19 points and 9 rebounds, which was just okay.
Garnett had 16 points and 12 rebounds.
The Big Three of the Green Army played mediocrely, and the loss was not unjust. If Posey hadn't exploded, making 5 of 10 shots, 4 of 8 three-pointers, and scoring 18 points and 3 rebounds, the Celtics would have lost even more.
More miserable.
…
In the blink of an eye, 10 days later.
June 18, Los Angeles.
Night falls.
At this time, the road leading to the Staples Center Arena was filled with people and traffic.
Outside the arena, Lakers fans, in pairs and in groups, were lining up in an orderly manner, checking in to enter the arena, with joy on their faces, as if it was the harvest season.
“LA must win!”
"Lakers championship!
"
"..."
The die-hard Lakers fans chanted the slogan of No. 2 Middle School, but it didn't seem inconsistent or embarrassing. The fans took over the slogan like elementary school students, one wave after another.
In addition to using words, they can also use hands. The fans celebrated with smiles on their faces and high-fived them.
“It’s a feast for the Lakers!”
"We are about to get back to the top!
"
"..."
At this moment, five games of the 2008 Finals have ended.
The Lakers were in the lead, with a score of 3-2 and a match point for the championship.
Back at home with a 0-2 deficit, the Celtics showed great tenacity in the G3 and G4 games. With their terrifying iron-blooded defense and home court advantage, they tenaciously pulled back 2 points.
In the round, both sides returned to the same starting line.
In the crucial G5 Tianwangshan battle, Gasol and Odom stood firm.
One has 19 points and 11 rebounds, the other has 20 points and 13 rebounds, both are 20-10 level performances.
On the Celtics side, Perkins had 0 points and 0 rebounds.
Don't ask, you'll get hurt if you ask.
When Perkins was injured, Garnett's "hard special" characteristics were revealed. He couldn't support the Celtics' interior defense and was beaten by Odom and Gasol in turns. He only got one
14 points and 13 rebounds.
Without Perkins, the Greens' solid defense at home could not stop them in the first quarter and was beaten by a score of 39 to 22.
Then, the Green Army began a long pursuit of points, and in the end they just chased lonely.
Pierce scored 38 points, 8 assists and 6 rebounds. He defeated Jiangsu Bei in the matchup, but still couldn't save his team.
The score was 108 to 99, and the Lakers had a 9-point advantage. They defeated the Celtics and won the Tianshan King. There is only one game left before the Lakers return to the top.
…
At the Staples Center Arena, at this time, the G6 game has begun.
The Celtics' top five, Perkins, Garnett, Pierce, Ray Allen, Rondo.
Lakers five players, Gasol, Odom, Su Bei, Kobe, Fisher.
This game will be broadcast live on TNT radio, with a commentary team composed of Mike Breen, Marv Albert, Barkley and Kenny Smith.
"The Celtics have no way out. They are 2-3 behind. They can't do it without Perkins inside, so they can only let Perkins play with an injury.
The problem now is that this Celtics team has not won an away game in the 2007/08 season playoffs.
Do you think it’s possible that the Greens can win their first away game in the playoffs tonight?”
"I think it's very risky.
They couldn't defeat the Hawks in the first round of the playoffs, they couldn't defeat James in the second round, and they couldn't defeat Paul in the Eastern Conference Finals.
You tell me, will the Celtics break the Lakers tonight?
This is not reliable at all. The away worm is the away worm, and he will never become the away dragon.
I bet the Green Army can’t break it..."
The game begins!
From the beginning, the Lakers went after Perkins.
Sure enough, Perkins couldn't keep up with his movements and was frequently hit in the back door. The Celtics' basket was smashed.
The Green Army chose to shrink. Su Bei's three-pointer taught them a lesson, which is to focus on one thing and lose the other.
In the first quarter of the game, the Lakers took the lead.
"It was too much, the Lakers actually substituted Bynum on the court.
At this time, Perkins, who had been playing for 10 minutes, felt a little uncomfortable.
He was also a veteran on the court. Just after he came off the court, Lakers head coach Jackson revealed his trump card.
Immediately afterwards, Ariza also came in, and then the Lakers and Celtics started a rush-shooting tactic..."
In terms of rebounds, Garnett was able to grab Gasol, and even Bynum couldn't get it.
Three-pointers, after Subei's G1 breakout, the following games were unremarkable. However, after nearly two weeks of adjustments, Subei's three-point accuracy has returned.
There is still a contract year for Vujaxi, what can you do to cover it?
You can't stand it?
I can't defend the basket, and I can't defend the perimeter.
That's it, forget it.
With the foundation of two attacks, Kobe began to take over the game with mid-range shots. Coupled with the mobile attack of the triangle offense, the Lakers produced all-round and three-dimensional offensive firepower.
Not to mention, the Celtics' big three tonight had something going for them.
The three of them collectively performed well. They actually took turns to challenge each other and kept the score close to each other. Even though they were behind, they were still hovering around 5 points.
The suspense of the game lasted until the end.
However, a basketball game is not a battle of landlords, and delaying time is of no use.
Yes, the Green Army's Big Three are in really hot shape.
However, as long as the rotation is done, it will be a bit unbearable and the strength of the lineup will not be able to support it.
You know, the Green Army has always had problems with its physical fuel tank, especially Pierce, who has been playing with a tired body.
With a physique that could survive being stabbed 11 times, Pierce seems to be able to withstand it, but if he is weak, he is weak. This affects the combat effectiveness, at least in terms of durability, and you won't be able to last.
Pierce started to get tough. The rebounding was no longer a crushing game, but a 50-50 situation. Without the support of rebounds, the Green Army's offensive level could not keep up with the Lakers' pace.
In the end, in order to chase points, the Green Army could only grab three points.
Ray Allen has started his road to redemption. When it comes to three-point shooting, everyone here is cocky. He still has this kind of confidence.
However, from the moment they hugged each other, Ray Allen lost his spirit and came to lie down.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Voices from the outside world are also saying that he is here to lie down and no longer has the unlimited firing rights of a superstar.
Now that the team is in danger, the team wants him to step up and hit those crucial three-pointers to bring back the suspense of the game.
"The Great Luo of All Worlds"
Bang-dang——!
…
Bang-dang——!
…
It was Kobe who was guarding him, and Ray Allen missed two three-point shots.
Pierce can only do it on his own and try his hand at three-point shooting.
Su Bei didn't like him, so he used a brilliant defense to teach him a lesson about what it means to die if you try.
Bang-dang——!
Pierce's physical fuel tank was at the bottom and he still wanted to show off. As a result, he had no room for three-point shooting, and the sound of three-point shooting could be heard.
Buzz——!
As the buzzer sounds, the red light lights up, and the game time is over.
The score was 107 to 98. The Lakers had a 9-point advantage. They defeated the Celtics with a big score of 4 to 2 and won the 2007/08 NBA championship trophy.
The moment the whistle sounded, the entire arena was plunged into a sea of joy.
Wow!
A wave of applause came, and ribbons rained from the sky.
The Lakers players on the bench were jumping for joy, rushing into the court with their teeth bared, hugging the players on the court, their faces full of joy.
Jump up and bump your chest, give high fives and hug, sing happily...
"We are the championship!"
As Kobe lifted the championship trophy, Su Bei, Gasol, Odom, Fisher, Bynum, Coach Jackson and other Lakers family members stood around him.
"Kacha——!"
The camera flash flashed, the picture was frozen, a group photo of the Lakers championship members was taken, and all the NBA games of the 2007/08 season came to an end.
