"These two teams are amazing," said the magician in the commentary booth at Staples Arena and marveled as he looked at the long scoreboard.

At the end of the second quarter, the two teams almost stood on the same running line again, 60-58, the Boston Celtics led by two points, but, judging from the scene, with the explosion of Kobe Bryant, who suddenly began to score at the end of the second quarter, whether it was on the defensive end or the offensive end, the Lakers showed no less threat than the Celtics, and what was more predictable was that Phil Jackson did not replace him when Kobe Bryant was single, obviously, At this time, the Lakers head coach is also desperately fighting, at this time only Kobe Bryant can share the pressure on Ao Fat, and in this game, the Boston Celtics did not intend to use any offensive system and defensive system from the beginning, so after Kobe Bryant came on the court, the whole Celtics team and the Lakers were all one-on-one.

"Evenly matched singles" is the most exciting, and Larry Bird also praised on the side, when the two teams walked into the dressing room, he has been expecting what kind of performance the two teams will respond to in the second half, and in fact, there are definitely not a few people who have such expectations.

This is a game that can make everyone's adrenaline rush, whether it is fans, commentators or players, it is the same, the performance of the Boston Celtics players in this game is very good, in line with Zhuang Fei's expectations, especially Maddy's performance of 25 points alone in the first half is even more amazing, and Wade and Yao Ming, the two offensive cores, can still work together to contribute 20 points in the case of closing the play is also extremely rare, as for the defensive end of the Lakers to score 58 points? Zhuang Fei is not Van Gundy nor Thibodo, at this time he never cares about his defense, for NBA players, offense represents talent, defense represents dedication and hard work, collective defense is even more so, and this game in order to make players more free on the offensive end, Zhuang Fei will not care about those lengthy individual defenses, just like he did in the Timberwolves, as long as the Celtics can score more points than the Lakers in this game, and in fact, now the Celtics score two points higher than the Lakers, At this point, too, it echoes the request.

Therefore, in the Boston Celtics midfield locker room, Zhuang Fei just expressed one meaning to these players of the Boston Celtics, that is, the more crazy offense in the second half, everything else is better than thinking about it and they only need to do this one thing.

And Zhuang Fei also believes that Phil Jackson is also arranged in the locker room, this is a real offensive game, both teams insist on their own advantages, and abandon everything except their biggest advantages, this is also the purest game about the victory or defeat of basketball, the most basic thing in basketball is not to score more points than the other party is to win?

"The two teams are still holding on to the rhythm of the first half" When the third quarter was almost the first round, the Magic said excitedly in the commentary box that he would like to see such a thing. Even fans all over the world would like to see something like this.

"This may be the first time in NBA history that the purest offense wins the championship" Larry Bird also nodded a little excitedly, in the past in the NBA, there have always been people touting the importance of defense to the NBA, that is because of the Finals stage, too many cautious matchups, too many conservative defensive battles, and even if the Timberwolves win the championship with offense, and the other party is also defending. It's not like both teams are using offense to win the championship, but this game is a game in the real sense, where both teams abandon defense and rely on their own offense to fight for the championship, which is absolutely the first time in NBA history.

"So, I now take back my assessment of Phil Jackson, he's not a conservative incorrigible man, he's a manager who deserves everyone's respect. Even if he loses the game," the magician also said with some seriousness after Larry Bird finished speaking, and Larry Bird on the side also nodded after he finished speaking.

How many head coaches can play with Zhuang Fei like this on the finals stage? Larry Bird himself didn't dare in 2000, Larry Brown didn't dare in 2001, Popovich didn't have the ability to do that in 2003, and now. Phil Jackson was definitely the first. Although such a person has flaws, he can still be respected by everyone.

This cousin-in-law Zhuang Fei was very excited, he never thought that his team would play like this before this game, nor did he think that the other party would play like this. The players on both sides are all in their best condition, and in fact, the Celtics and Lakers have completely abandoned collective defense, and all one-on-one offense and defense can indeed improve the state of the players of both teams.

This is the coolest game Zhuang Fei has played since entering the NBA. This may also be the most painful game played by Thibodo after coming to the NBA, but at this time, Zhuang Fei will no longer pay attention to what Thibodo is thinking, he is really ready for the Lakers and Phil Jackson to separate a high and low.

"You don't want to be the first offense in the regular season, I want to see if it's the first or the second" In the end, Zhuang Fei also squinted and glanced at the guy standing in front of the Lakers bench.

Of course, at this time, Phil Jackson naturally didn't know that Zhuang Fei had been watching him, and at this time Phil Jackson's eyes had been on the court, because now the two teams had completely fallen into a stalemate, and the score was also up and down, and there was no chance for Phil Jackson to be distracted, and he almost invested all his enthusiasm in this game, when a person's fate was finally concentrated in one game, the energy that this person could burst out was absolutely amazing, just like the current Phil Jackson.

"Still haven't caught up with the score, this Boston Celtics is too tenacious, obviously we have begun to take the initiative in the game" Szczebiak looked at the scoreboard on the court with his hands on his waist a little helplessly, at the end of the third quarter, the Boston Celtics temporarily led the Lakers by two points 92-90, and in the third quarter, the two teams tied at 32, of course, this is not the most important thing in Szczebiak's heart, the most important thing is that the Boston Celtics are just by virtue of Maddy, Actually miraculously held the advantage in the third quarter, and in fact. Although Fat and Kobe Bryant were at odds in the third quarter, on the offensive end, the two teamed up to score 25 of the Lakers' 32 points, while Yao Ming, the Celtics on the other side, only scored a measly 4 points in this quarter.

The Chinese center looks like he was completely suppressed by O'Neal, but even so, the Lakers still failed to get the score back, which somewhat made Szzebiak a little regretful. And in Szebiak's heart, he couldn't help but look at the Celtics' young rookie No. 1 position. He is definitely the most overlooked player in this game, the Lakers' eyes are on Maddy and Yao Ming, and every time the Lakers are about to overtake, this rookie can always get into the Lakers' basket at a critical time, which also makes Szczebiak a little surprised, after all, in his impression, the only players who have such key ball handling ability in his rookie period are Duncan and Carter, two players who were selected to the first team in their rookie period, and it is obvious that this rookie does not lose too much on the psychological level.

"Since there is no overtaking. That long shows that our offense is still insufficient" Kobe Bryant in front of Szczebiak also heard Szczebiak's complaint and only said lightly, and after speaking, the Lakers' leading guard walked off the court without looking back, and at this time Szebiak heard the guard's soft sigh and smiled when Kobe turned around.

"It doesn't look like you don't care at all," Szebiak looked at Kobe's back and smiled in his heart

Yao Ming felt very sad at this time. Although the team still holds the lead in this game, he has not played well, and now that the game has been played for three quarters, he has only scored a measly 14 points. As one of the offensive three cores of the Boston Celtics in this game, he naturally can't be satisfied with his performance, regardless of Maddy's 38 points in the third quarter, even Wade's 18 points in the third quarter are higher than him. You know, he and Maddy are the offensive core on the surface, while Wade is hidden, and he has more offensive opportunities than Wade in the head coach's setup.

"Yao, take it easy, we're still ahead now" O'Neal Jr. looked at Yao Ming, who was frowning on the side, was stunned for a moment, and then patted his partner's shoulder with a smile and said, Yao Ming's performance in this game is very game in O'Neal's opinion, although he doesn't score much, but the efficiency is still not low, the reason why he doesn't attack much, the main thing is that the person opposite him is too aggressive, although the Boston Celtics and Lakers don't have an overall defense in this game, It doesn't mean that there is no personal defense, on the contrary, the personal defense in this game is very large, whether it is the pair of Maddie and Kobe Bryant or the pair of Yao Ming and O'Neal, in this case, Yao Ming can face O'Neal, who is the first of the four centers, to play like this is definitely excellent.

"Jermaine, I want to score, I want to help the team, this is the most important game of my life, I want to fulfill my commitment, I don't want to lose to Shaq O'Neal" Just looked at the team's head coach Zhuang Fei who was burying his head in front of him and arranging tactics, Yao Mingzhi quickly retracted his gaze, and then looked firmly at O'Neal Jr. and said, which also made O'Neal Jr. stunned.

Don't want to lose to O'Neill? What does this mean? Even Xiao Ao, who thinks he is not very smart, knows that this teammate of his wants to defeat the big shark, the big shark that Xiao Ao and Garnett couldn't do before, even if the big shark is not as strong as it was at the beginning, but it still makes Xiao Ao feel afraid, and Xiao Ao has not even thought about going over to single out that guy even now, at this point, his partner who seems to be humble is not humble at all. But after thinking of this, little O'Neill also threw out all the surprise in his heart, and then showed a smile.

"I see, Yao, wait a minute, I'll defend that big shark"

And when Yao Ming heard this, he also felt warm in his heart when he saw the smile on his partner's face, Yao Ming knew that the player his partner was most afraid of was the big shark of the Lakers.

"You don't have to look at me like that, I'm the leader of the team, although my score is not as good as you, not as good as Tracy or even as good as Dwyane, but I need to be responsible for this game" Xiao Ao looked at Yao Ming and patted him on the shoulder with a smile again.

Soon, the small movements of these two people were also seen by Zhuang Fei, who was arranging the last section of tactics, and after being cheered by Zhuang Fei, the two also glanced at each other with a smile.

"I think everyone knows the strength of the Lakers, this is a very scary team, this is the strongest opponent we have ever faced, and if we want to win this game, we have to use all our weapons to fight. Yao Ming, you had too much restraint in the previous game, and I need your offense now, understand? Zhuang Fei looked at Yao Ming, who had just been caught by himself, and asked seriously, but what surprised Zhuang Fei was that this compatriot, who had always been given high hopes by himself, shouted without a trace of hesitation at this time.

Yao Ming was the key point in this game. Especially the Lakers' O'Neal and Kobe Bryant are both open, in this kind of game, even if there are more players who can be used, there will not be many players who really work, and in fact, the Celtics are most sure of this game is the team's offensive triumvirate Maddy, Yao Ming and Wade, in addition, everyone else is embellishment, and none of these three pillars can be missing. This was especially true in the third quarter when Maddie was a little hard to support. Of course, since Yao Ming understands so firmly now, Zhuang Fei is also a little relieved.

"Well, that's good, the next game will be the most special game of your career. It is also a game that will accompany you, and it is your choice whether this game is a victory tulip or a defeat of the black rose, everyone, don't let your future down for this game" and the timeout at the end of the third quarter. Zhuang Fei also stretched out his right hand and shouted his last words before the game restarted.

Compared with the unity of the Boston Celtics, the Lakers on the other side are not much different, and everyone knows what this game means for this team. When a situation that cannot fail is placed in front of everyone, even if there are many contradictions in the past, it needs to be reconciled, just like the best way to temporarily reconcile two enemies is to find a common enemy or goal for them, although on the Lakers' bench, Kobe Bryant still sat alone on the side, but at this time Phil Jackson was not ignoring him, in the first three quarters of the game, the Lakers' guard deserves respect, at least worthy of Phil Jackson's reward, of course, And that's just for this one game.

In this case, before the start of the fourth quarter, everyone was making a final effort for the final judgment, even the Lakers fans on one side, most of whom were already praying to the heavens, and this was perhaps the most suffocating game of their lives

"The final showdown begins" When the fourth quarter of the game began, Magic Johnson looked at the players on both sides of the court were all their starters or main players, the Lakers team's greatest player in history was also a little nervous, for Magic Johnson, he has experienced too many winds and waves, and there are not many times when he can feel like this, and in this game, he is indeed fully immersed in the atmosphere of the game, and his partner Larry Bird on the other side is not much different.

"Will this year's king be the Lakers or the Celtics? A breathtaking wait, this is the longest 12 minutes of the day in the United States" Like Magic, one of the greatest stars of Boston Celtics history was also extremely nervous.

In the fourth quarter, for the Boston Celtics, the key point of this team is Yao Ming, Yao Ming must step up to share the pressure on Maddie, and he must still stand up, and in fact, the first offense of the Boston Celtics in the fourth quarter is like this, Yao Ming's aggression has increased significantly.

"Hey, that Chinese interior line has started to attack?" The Magic watched Yao Ming fall into the basket in his position, and turned around with his back against O'Neal for two consecutive baskets and shook O'Neal away, and a probe was also shocked in the center of the layup, in the first three quarters, Yao Ming's offense was not so decisive, and after the goal was scored, when it was the Lakers' turn to attack, it was extremely surprising to Magic, Larry Bird and even Zhuang Fei.

"Jermaine O'Neal defends Shaq?! Is this Coach Z's choice? Jermaine's strength in the next game is far inferior to Yao Ming," Larry Bird was also stunned when he saw the seemingly thin Boston Celtics interior who was forced to eat by O'Neal when the Lakers attacked. O'Neal isn't the best guy to defend O'Neal.

"Coach, what's going on" Like Larry Bird, even the Boston Celtics bench looked like this at this time, especially the team's assistant coach Stephen Green looked at Zhuang Fei in surprise, he wanted to know if this was his own manager's special arrangement, but it was disappointing that he didn't see too many other hints on his teacher's face.

"This kid really likes to make his own decisions," but after Green asked, Zhuang Fei also looked at the guy on the court who was defending O'Neal and said with a smile that made Green on the side shake his head again

"Boy, you won't just want to guard against me" The big shark just leaned lightly on Xiao Ao, this is his habitual action, for many insiders, this reliance, you can feel the strength of the opponent, and for the big shark, although it seems to be a person with developed limbs, but his mind is not simple at all, and he is not a person who underestimates the enemy, if he doesn't look down on Xiao Ao's strength, he will directly crush the past and will not rely on this, the two were opponents three years ago, and they are no strangers.

However, although O'Neal wants to provoke Xiao Ao but just like Kobe and Maddy, although Xiao Ao is hot, but in the face of O'Neal he is really convinced, the guy in front of him can indeed say anything about him, at this point, it is impossible for the big shark to provoke Little O'Neal, in this case, the Laker almost directly forcibly pulled up a half-turned hook in front of Xiao Ao who was not out of position, and after the big shark finished the action, Xiao Ao took three steps back in a row, and the power gap between them is self-evident, And the basketball, which was forcibly thrown out by the big shark, fell into the net after two laps on the basket.

"The beautiful strong Jermaine defense is already very monographed, and he didn't jump up as easily as before, but his opponent is stronger" Larry Bird didn't have too many accusations against Xiao Ao in the commentary seat, and in fact, Zhuang Fei on the sidelines and the Celtics players on the field are also like this, this ball O'Neal can score that O'Neal is stronger, it doesn't mean that Xiao Ao is bad.

"Jermaine, are you okay" Looking at Xiao Ao, who had been holding his chest, Yao Ming also asked with some concern, this was originally his defender.

"It's okay, you can't make my efforts useless," Xiao Ao just smiled at Yao Ming and winked at him before walking towards the front, only at this time he was still rubbing his chest as he walked.

For him, it's his choice, he chooses to be the leader of this team, he needs to take on this responsibility, he needs to lead the team to win, just like Zhuang Fei said to him, if he can do what his teammates can't do, then he has succeeded.

"I'm going to be a great leader player"

"Shooting, beautiful shots, soft touch, Shaq can't stop him, this is the Yao Ming who can score 20 points in half a game that we saw in the last game, and the center who can score 20 points in just ten minutes"

"Shaq's offense is beautiful, but it didn't make the Lakers turn over the score, in fact, when the fourth quarter started, both teams were consciously playing inside, however, both teams had a high success rate on the inside, in this case, the scores of the two teams did not pull away, the Lakers may have miscalculated, the Boston Celtics have a point that can completely cancel each other out with O'Neal on the offensive end" When Maddy and Kobe were accumulating, Yao Ming and O'Neal both took on the team's offensive responsibility, It's just a little bit different that the Boston Celtics are accumulating Maddy, and the Lakers are accumulating Kobe Bryant, one is the team's well-deserved leader, and the other is the team's second leader who doesn't trust.

"The decisive moment of this game has begun"

When the fourth quarter was six minutes into the game, and the fourth quarter came to the TV timeout, the Magic looked at the sideline scoreboard and said heavily.

At this time, the stats written on the scoreboard were 107 to 105, and the Celtics still held a two-point advantage. (To be continued.) )
