Chapter 256: The Finals Are Here

Stepping back on the floor of the finals after a 21-year hiatus, although there was no final victory, it did not stop the fans from celebrating, and they left messages on their social platforms - "Yes, we are back!" ”

Yes, they are back, and their opponents have declared themselves back!

On May 30, Beijing time, the Lakers reversed the Spurs again 100-92 at home, eliminated the opponent 4-1, and advanced to the finals. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

This is the first time the Lakers have reached the Finals since 2004. After O'Neal left, Kobe Bryant. Bryant made it to the finals for the first time. Bryant scored 17 points in the final quarter and contributed 39 points to the game. Paul. Gasol had 12 points, 19 rebounds, five assists and four blocks. Odom had 13 points and eight rebounds.

In today's game, the Lakers were restrained everywhere after the opening, and the Spurs had a great chance of pulling back a game. In the first quarter, the Lakers were completely out of shape, only 7 of 24 shots, and the shooting rate was less than 30%, and Kobe Bryant also performed mediocre, only 2 of 5 shots, scoring only 4 points.

The Spurs blossomed more, shooting 12-of-19 in the quarter, and veteran Finley alone scored 8 points. Before the end of the quarter, Ginobili hit two consecutive shots and scored five straight points to give the Spurs a 13-point advantage at 28:15.

The Spurs led by 17 points at one point in the first half, but were unable to hold on to the lead.

As the second half began, the Lakers began to take advantage of their youth, while the Spurs began to show fatigue. With 1:42 left in the quarter, Kobe Bryant hit a three-point shot, followed by a mid-range score, and after one person scored five points in a row, the Lakers took a 61-60 lead. After three quarters, the Lakers led 64-63. The Spurs shot just 6-of-17 in the quarter.

At the end of the fourth quarter, Bryant began to take over the game, and after that, he kept shooting, and after a wave of 6:1, the Lakers pulled away with 1:47 left in the game to open the score 89-82. Under Bryant's left rush and right rush, the Spurs tended to collapse, and even Duncan was forced to shoot three-pointers, after which they could only continue to foul and were unable to stop the Lakers.

The Spurs were eliminated 1-4, and they looked aging and could not hold on to their 17-point advantage. Tim. Duncan had a triple-double with 19 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists. Parker 23 points, Manu. Ginobili scored just nine points.

The result of the game was not unexpected, and it also made Rivers completely let go of the worries in his heart, for him, the last opponent he wanted to meet was the calm and old Spurs, not the more star-studded Lakers.

Defeating a tacit team is far more difficult than defeating a strong individual, although the game with the Cavaliers is more thrilling, but if there is no slump in the first game, and Shi Lei is not suspended, the Cavaliers will definitely not be more difficult to deal with than the Pistons.

"Well, our opponents are born, and I think you all already know that they are the Los Angeles Lakers!"

The day after the opponent was confirmed, the Celtics announced the gathering, and Rivers had collected all the footage of the Lakers' games in this year's playoffs, and selected the most characteristic parts of them to show the players to watch and understand their opponents.

Although the opponent is not the Spurs that he least wants to meet, Rivers is still very nervous, to be exact, he is even more nervous than his own players, most of the players have no experience in the finals, but he also does not, he is a "rookie" like the players.

Well, the "rookie" Shi Lei is not a "dish"! At this time, I have to bring up the old story again, and part of the reason why the Celtics wanted to sign Shi Lei was that he had a "finals" experience.

This is a very valuable experience, although Shi Lei was in the team at that time, he belonged to the dispensable category, but this experience still helped him become the most "calm" one in the Celtics now.

Well, Garnett already has "asthma", breathing like a bison, and Pierce is no better, watching a video is like a war, with a serious expression. The "Big Three" also only have Ray . Aaron is slightly better, but what's the deal with that clenched "big casserole" fist?

The Celtics can't wait, and so do the Lakers, the stars of both teams have been waiting for this moment for too long, and they can't wait to "draw their swords against each other"!

Finally, after anxious waiting, the NBA headquarters announced the schedule for the Finals.

The first match between the two sides will be played on June 6 at Celtic's home stadium.

The second game is scheduled for June 9 and is still at Celtic's home stadium. The third and fourth games will be played at the Lakers' home court, and the times are set for the 11th and 13th, respectively. As for the fifth, sixth and seventh games that are now in a pending state, the time has also been determined, which will be held at the Celtics' home court on the 16th, the Lakers' home court on the 18th, and the Celtics' home court on the 21st.

As soon as the schedule was confirmed and the reports on the Finals were in full swing, the NBA headquarters began to work hard to warm up for the Finals, which can be called the most watched Finals in a decade.

Some celebrities also began to stand up and speak, and the first two sides began to fight, it was the leader of the last "yellow-green war", "Big Bird" Bird, and "Magic" Johnson.

After becoming the manager of the Pacers, Bird has been very cautious in front of the media, but as the Celtics are soaring, he seems to be active.

"Yes, there is no doubt that Celtic will be the final victors, the Spaniards will not be able to defend against Kevin, and Stone will let "that snake" know what defense is! ”

"Who else can guard against Kobe? I haven't heard a joke like this in years. Their No. 11 is a good defender, but he needs to make himself stronger if he wants to limit Kobe. In fact, apart from the body, he is no better than Bruce. Bowen brilliantly. ”

As soon as Bird came forward to speak, Johnson immediately counterattacked, and O'Neal also came out at this time to get involved, and his hatred for Kobe Bryant and the Lakers never needed to be hidden.

"I know the 'triangle offense,' I know that stuff, and to put it bluntly, it's star singles, you can't deny it, he's not as destructive as me, there's a lot of people who can cause him problems, like Bruce. Bowen, like the Celtics' No. 11 Stone, is young but his defense has been fantastic, and he has proven himself in the regular season. ”

Although there are two "hes" in O'Neill's words, I believe that there will be no one who does not know who "he" is.

How can it be so simple to laugh at the enmity and hatred, Kobe can ignore Bird and Johnson, but as soon as O'Neal stood up, he exploded: "Please shut up the fat man who led the team to play the bottom of the league!" ”

Well, so O'Neal can only shut up, who made this season's Heat so "giving"! (To be continued.) )
