The lights are bright and there is a sea of people.
December 25th, Christmas Eve.
At this time, the Christmas Day game was held at the Staples Center Arena, Lakers VS Celtics.
Even if it’s Christmas, it’s also the first place.
During the warm-up, Kobe and the Big Three of the Green Army chatted with the Queen for a few cents, and also chatted with Marbury for a cent or two.
Although the veterans of the 96 golden generation have withered, they have not died.
Su Bei warmed up quietly and didn't have to talk to anyone.
The Celtics' top five, Perkins, Garnett, Pierce, Ray Allen, Rondo.
Lakers 5 players, Bynum, Gasol, Su Bei, Kobe, Fisher.
Beep——!
Bynum defeated Gasol and scored the first offense for the Lakers.
"Fisher brought the ball to the frontcourt and, as a tool man, handed the basketball to Kobe.
Then, being approached by Ray Allen, Kobe did not wave, and lobbed the ball to Bynum to single out Perkins.
In last season's finals, Bynum missed the season due to injury and was unable to compete with the Celtics.
Now is indeed a good opportunity to weigh Bynum's strength.
Peng——!
There was a physical confrontation like a reckless man, the two sides were 50-50, and Bynum did not have the advantage, but the attacker still took the initiative to some extent. Bynum did not retreat, and chose to face the man. During the confrontation, he raised his head high and hit the basket.
go……"
Bang-dang——!
Perkins was not used to Bynum, so he held Bynum's body, and then blocked the angle of the basket, allowing Bynum to attack the basket at a very close range, but in vain, and the basketball missed.
"Perkins blocked Bynum, Garnett blocked Gasol, and Rondo rushed into the penalty area, picked off the rebound, and slowly advanced with the ball.
Come to the top arc, control the ball and observe the situation of your teammates..."
The Celtics' formation is very wide, and Perkins pulls to the right basket. He can only eat the pie, but he has to follow when he is close to the basket.
Garnett was low on the left, blocking Gasol for the ball. At the same time, Pierce also used his butt to block Su Bei, reaching for the ball.
On the right side, Ray Allen had room to move. He cut to the basket and wanted to cooperate with Perkins on the screen. He suddenly made a return shot and ran back to the right three-pointer at a 60-degree position, receiving a pass from Rondo.
Ball, pull the ball and shoot a three-pointer...
"Ray Allen's brilliant movement and Rondo's knowing passing.
Kobe was very active, but he was still half a beat late. We can only bet on whether Ray Allen's three-point pistol had bullets in it..."
Swish——!
With no false starts, Ray Allen gracefully scored a three-pointer, opening up the Celtics' scoring account.
3 to 0!
"The Lakers attacked, Fisher crossed half court and passed the ball to Kobe.
Three threats to probe, then probe again...
Huh?
Kobe was blindly playing around, suddenly he jumped up from the ball, raised his hand and tried a three-point pull-up jumper..."
Ray Allen originally planned to use the "snake tactic" to attack Kobe Bryant, guarding against breakthroughs but not shots. Unexpectedly, Kobe counterattacked and rushed to block the shot. It was already too late.
Bang-dang——!
Sure enough, Kobe's three-pointer was unreliable.
Just because you can throw it, doesn't mean you can hit it.
"Garnett grabbed the rebound... No, it was grabbed by Su Bei. He spun around in a circle, made a layup, and scored with a last-ditch shot..."
Swish——!
Su Bei's personal scoring account has also been opened.
Off the court, Jackson nodded. It was not surprising that Kobe would be tough. The triangle rebounding tactic was to provide cover for Kobe's offense.
During Kobe's duel, Su Bei's air cut created a situation where the Lakers were under the basket and bullied the opponent with more. As a result, Garnett was also stolen.
3 to 2!
During the transition between offense and defense, Rondo dealt the cards from the top of the arc and turned over Pierce's cards.
"Pierce caught the ball, posed as a triple threat, took a step, and then took a step again, but failed to shake Su Bei away.
He turned around and gave Su Bei a buttock, step by step, until he reached a comfortable point.
Before Kobe's defense was in place, Pierce turned around with a shoulder shake, pulled the ball and retreated for two points to shoot a fadeaway jumper..."
Su Bei basically predicted Pierce's movements, and defended to the extreme.
After all, Pierce isn't fast, he doesn't jump high, and his talent isn't as scary as Tracy McGrady.
Su Bei added his prediction and blocked the basketball in Pierce's hand like a slap in the face.
However, the amazing thing is that Su Bei, who had the upper hand, still failed to block the shot.
The dislocation of rhythm allowed Pierce to shoot towards the basket...
Just when Su Bei thought that his defense was about to be released, he heard the sound of iron coming from behind.
Bang-dang——!
Pierce's rhythm was hard to guard against, but it still gave some defensive pressure.
Basketball, the iron misses.
"Bynum used his height advantage to grab the rebound and pass the ball to Fisher to advance.
In this round, Kobe didn't waste any more time, distributed the ball to Su Bei, and started a triangle offensive team..."
The Celtics' chain defense kept the two-point line airtight. Fisher did not choose to cut in to the basket, but played an outside cut with Su Bei to block Fisher's top defense.
After Rondo, Su Bei immediately passed the ball to the right three-point corner, but then cut inside.
“The best way to crack a zone defense is three-pointers from the two corners.
Fisher caught the ball, made a complete cut, caught the ball, jumped up, raised his hand and shot a three-point jumper..."
Ray Allen did not switch defense, Rondo bypassed Su Bei's defense and pounced on it too late.
No matter how fast he runs, he can never beat passing the ball. Rondo can only bet that Fisher's three-point pistol has no bullets.
Swish——!
If you guess wrong, there is no reward.
Fisher is old and can still play, not without reason. His defense, three-pointers, and passing the ball through half the court have made the Lakers comfortable on both ends of the court. His existence is not just
Hug your thighs and lie flat.
3 to 5!
"The Lakers' offense is sharper.
This season, the Lakers and Celtics are the two poles of the league.
One accounts for offense and the other accounts for defense.
Next, let’s look at the Green Army’s offense. How to deal with it?
You can win steadily by relying solely on defense against a team with average strength. It is obviously not enough to beat the Lakers, but offense and defense run together..."
How to run, you ask?
Don't ask, just ask: the three giants are all affected by rain and dew.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Rondo came to the top arc, and in this round, he turned over Garnett's card.
It was a little darker, but it was hard enough. Gasol was still soft. He was squeezed by Garnett after receiving the ball and lost his position. He could only watch Garnett helplessly, pull the ball, turn around, and raise his hand to turn over.
A two-point fadeaway jump shot..."
Swish——!
Gasol couldn't take down Garnett's talent, so he was firmly defeated.
5 to 5!
Next, the fight was smooth and steady.
No matter what, both sides regard their opponent as the most powerful opponent in the championship this season. There is really no need to use up all their cards just for an ordinary game that just happens to be Christmas.
As for the battle for the top spot?
Pooh!
That is what the media is touting. Although what they say is a nice truth, the regular season is long and full of surprises. I really think that if we are ranked first and beat the second, or if we are ranked second and beat the first, we can be stable.
Sitting on the top spot?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
As a result, the Celtics played in a calm and unhurried manner, as they did last season, relying on a chain defense for defense, and relying on the Big Three to take turns in one-on-one play for offense.
"Ray Allen's three-pointer hit again.
Tonight, Allen put on a target for his three-point shot."
…
"Pierce's back shot, turning around, pulling the ball and shooting a fadeaway jumper...
Swish——!
Subei defended well, but Pierce also attacked well.
This is the strength of a superstar, who can ignore a strong defense and put the basketball into the basket."
…
"Garnett caught the ball in the low post, beat Gasol, rushed to the basket, and dunked with both hands.
Gasol was suppressed and lackluster, even though Garnett's face was black and Gasol was white."
…
At the end of the first quarter, the Celtics' Big Three were in full bloom and were very efficient.
The score was 25 to 24, and the Celtics took a 1-point lead. Rounding off, they were evenly matched with the Lakers.
