A 10-point lead was enough to put the Los Angeles fans at ease for a while, at least they were able to have a good time eating popcorn, listening to music, watching the halftime show and looking forward to the second half of the game for the 10 minutes of halftime. The Lakers www.biquge.info' performance in the first half was indeed quite good, very much in their style in the Western Conference semifinals and finals, with clear and resolute tactics, internal and external connections, and extremely rich experience to do the best in the details.

For them, the main problem in the second half is whether they can maintain the state of the first half, especially whether they can continue to maintain a high degree of concentration in concentration, and not be disturbed by other factors, which will be a major test for the veteran-dominated Lakers, and physical strength will be a big problem in the second half.

Secondly, the Lakers have to think carefully about how to withstand the Celtics' counterattack, and the scene of the Celtics a three-point plus a steal layup at the end of the second quarter made Jackson also break out in a cold sweat. It also made Jackson realize that if he was not careful in the second half, the Celtics could very well chase the score back in a short period of time.

During the break, Jackson also repeatedly emphasized that the whole team must improve their concentration and be careful of the Celtics' tactics in the third quarter, he knew that the Celtics in the third quarter were the most terrible Celtics. In the first two games, the Lakers were basically able to play evenly with the Celtics in the first and second quarters, but they were pressed and beaten in the third quarter, once they were knocked down, and once they were pulled apart. As a result, the Lakers always entered the fourth quarter with a disadvantage, and finally had to pin their hopes on Kobe's strong outside attack.

And Fox Leon has completely seen through the rhythm of the Lakers, using Ragabel's bite and Kevin Garnett's interference to contain Kobe's play well, resulting in the Lakers' final struggle in vain.

Tonight, in the first half, Kobe Bryant played more restrained, he passed the ball to O'Neal many times, did tactics, and participated in the team's offense, which really had a good effect.

"Keep the momentum of the first half, don't think too much, work hard, and hopefully we can start our real journey to the finals from this one." Jackson encouraged his players in the locker room with this "don't think too much" clearly to Kobe Bryant, who he hoped would maintain the team style of play in the first half.

However, it seems that Kobe Bryant is not interested in Jackson's words, and he is silent in the locker room, although he and O'Neal have a lot of cooperation in the first half, but the two of them still don't talk in private. Kobe Bryant has his own ideas, and he wants to win the game, in his own way.

On the other hand, the Celtic dressing room is not as tense and dull as one might expect, but rather has a relaxed atmosphere. Leon only made a simple mobilization and tactical arrangement, and then asked the players to relax as much as possible, chat, listen to songs, and eliminate the tension of the first half.

One of the reasons why the Celtics played badly in the first half was that the whole team was a little tight, as can be seen from the shooting percentage, in the first half, they shot 2 of 11 three-pointers, and the shooting rate was terrible. It also allows Jackson to confidently and boldly adopt psychological tactics, shrink the defense, let the Celtics' pitchers shoot, and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack.

It's a trick used by Jackson on the defensive end, and Jackson's team never pins their fate on three-pointers, but on the superstar's powerful low-post singles. There may be teams that can use the three-point shot to their advantage at some point, but once they're out of touch, Jackson's team will show the opponent what absolute strength is with a steady low-post output.

In the face of absolute strength, opportunism will only die faster.

And now, Fox Leon wants to make Jackson understand the meaning of this sentence more deeply.

Meanwhile, in the room where the referee was resting, Steve Jarvey was sitting in front of the VCR to review several decisions in the first half, which was a review that the referee needed to do in midfield. Apparently Jarvey didn't think there was much of a problem with his decision in the first half, not that he wasn't taking sides, but that he was perfectly biased.

Jarvey knows anyone who has been in the NBA for years can see some of them, but he's always been confident in his ability to handle them. Only when facing the eagle eyes of Fox Leon will Jarvey feel like a man's back. He has long heard that this kid has never forgotten, his eyes are as sharp as a bald eagle, and after he became the coach of the Celtics, the most embarrassing time for Jarvey was that after a game in the regular season last year, Fox Leon not only openly bombarded some of Jarvey's unfair penalties in the game after the game, but also personally pointed out what kind of tricks Jarvi used to affect the game situation.

This made Jarvey lose face, because every point Leon said hit the bull's-eye, and after that, Jarvi was ridiculed almost every game when he cooperated with other referees, especially when he blew the Celtics game, which also made him more and more unkind to the Celtics.

In this Finals, he usually wants to teach the Celtics a lesson in the away game and lead by a large score, of course, he will not blow indiscriminately, but together with other referees, he has obviously tightened the scale of blowing penalties for interior defensive actions, and at the same time turned a blind eye to some entanglement actions on the outside, which obviously gave the Lakers more benefits. Especially Kevin Garnett's foul that can be blown or not blown directly led to the early departure of the Celtics' interior core, and at the same time, the control of the playing time at the end of the second quarter will not have much impact, it can be said that Jarvi is really a good hand in control.

Of course, such a trick still did not escape Leon's eyes, and naturally Jarvi was embarrassed by Leon's scream, and in the second half Jarvi decided to continue to put pressure on Celtic.

"There were a little too many fouls on both sides in the first half, and in the second half, we relaxed the scale, especially the scale of the hand movements." Javi Viewpoint and colleague Jake Niles said that as the referee of the match, he is qualified to set the tone for the blows of the game.

The first half was strict, and in the second half, Jarvi decided to loosen the ties between the two sides, but he was not thinking about the Celtics, in fact, the backward team wished that the scale was stricter and the rhythm was slowed down a little, so as to slowly grind the score back. Once both sides are loose, the two sides continue to open up the offense, making it difficult for the Lakers to play on the offensive end.

And for the leading side, more defensive freedom allows them to extinguish the flames of the opponent's counterattack while they are psychologically dominant, and once the Celtics' near-basket attacks are destroyed by the Lakers, it will be extremely difficult for them to chase points - unless they can find their touch beyond the three-point line. This kind of thing is not something that the referee can decide.

"Okay, Los Angeles people, I've done my best, as for the outcome, it's up to you." Before the start of the game, Steve Jarvey thought to himself and prepared to leave the break room and head to the ring.

"When you think about how hard we worked during the regular season, I bet there isn't a team in the entire league that trains harder and more efficiently than me; Think about the pain of our failure last year, and I bet it's the kind of pain that no one wants to go through again in their lifetime; Think about the high spirits and the confidence we've had along the way, fo-fo-fo-fo, and I want to tell you that this is not a joke, it's not a casual encouragement, it's a promise and a vow. Because we're good enough, strong enough, good enough, and we don't win games to humiliate our opponents, we respect them. Tell them that you are so much worse than us. The Lakers are no exception. Alright, boys, girls, and bastards, after such a terrible first half, now I'm going to kick your ass and tell you to go on the field and kill them! ”

Before the start of the second half, Fox Leon made the final mobilization, yes, this is the last mobilization of his series, and it is also the final oath, although it is only the third game, only the third quarter of the third game, but Leon knows that as long as he takes that step here, then everything will be logical and natural.

10 points, a duel to the death. (To be continued.) )
