Chapter 496: 58 points in a single game, the finals
Dwight missed two of his most critical free throws, but Wood stepped up when he sprinted from beyond the three-point line and into the interior, when he fell to the floor past Kevin when he re-clicked the ball into the basket.
I know Wood is no less hungry for a win, for the Finals, for the O'Brien Cup than for the Big Three in Boston.
Competitive sports are so cruel, no one will pity the opponent, the winner is the eternal truth of competitive sports, and history will always remember the winner. ”
"For Boston, the result was a bit cruel and unacceptable, but no matter how uncomfortable it was, they had to accept it.
Returning to Boston with the advantage of conquering the center of the water hut gave all Boston fans hope, but the truth was so cruel.
Two home games, two crucial home games, were lost, and while it's not the end of the day, it's a result that basically means an exit for Boston.
There will always be a time when heroes will grow old, and even if we are no longer willing to accept this fact, we have to accept it and hope that Boston can continue. "Hoffman took Bill. Wharton's words.
North Shore Garden Arena, the oldest arena in NBA history, has witnessed six decades of NBA history, and Celtics fans who have been eager to get back to the top are filled with bitterness as they look at the scores on the big screen.
At the beginning of the season, the championships and retired players' jerseys fluttering above the arena gave Celtics fans anticipation, and even more so after the long regular season.
Although he stumbled in the first two rounds of the playoffs and didn't win an away game, he finally came to the stage of the Eastern Conference Finals according to the fans' hopes.
And won a valuable away win at the Mizuya Center, but the valuable away win did not last long. Two home defeats like Beale. Wharton: That's the way they go.
40 points in a single game. Lin Sen, who completed the most critical rebound, accepted Erin. Andrews' interview.
And got the highest score in the game. 44 points of Ray. Allen became Lin Sen's best bet.

Although the Eastern and Western finals are not over, both Los Angeles and Olan Multimedia are already looking forward to the pinnacle showdown between the two sides.
On June 4, the fourth game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the San Antonio Spurs kicked off.
The Los Angeles Lakers, who had previously led 2:1, ushered in their second game on the road. The San Antonio Spurs, who struggled to defend their home court in the last game, are naturally unwilling to lose on their home court, and once they lose 1:3 in this game, it will be the same as the Boston Celtics, which is equivalent to saying goodbye to the competition this season.
For the Spurs, who have been hoping to defend their title, they naturally don't want to say goodbye like this.
The main reason for the Lakers' away loss in the last game was that the Lakers played abnormally except Kobe, and Odom, Gasol and Fisher were not in shape.
After seeing the Magic's victory, Bryant made a declaration to reporters about meeting with the Orlando Magic.
At the beginning of the game, Gasol and Rademanovic scored strong baskets in the opening game, and Kobe Bryant also hit two shots after that, and the Lakers started the game 12-4.
The Lakers extended their lead to double digits in the first quarter, and finally the Spurs trailed 23-28 at the end of the first quarter.
Bryant was in excellent form in the first quarter, scoring eight points on 4-of-5 shooting. Gasol and Rademanovic, who had a poor performance in the previous game, also scored six points each.
Halfway through the second quarter, the Lakers once again stretched the margin to double digits. However, the game continued after the veteran Brent. Barry stepped up again and hit another three-pointer.
"San Antonio doesn't want to end up like this, in fact, I want to be with the Los Angeles Lakers." Billups said with a smile.
"Dwight, who do you guess Wood wants to meet?" Grant. Hill nudged Howard.
Last year's trip to the Finals was a harrowing one for Howard, who played poorly under the care of Duncan and Oberto.
"I guess Wood wants to meet San Antonio, in fact, I want to meet the Spurs, and I'm going to sue them and I'll prove myself again." Howard said firmly.
After the Spurs launched a wave of 12:2 attacks on the screen, the score was tied at 43:43 in one fell swoop, and in nearly four minutes, the Lakers only shot one shot.
"I'd like to meet San Antonio, but we're not in the finals yet." Lin Sen smiled and shook his head.
Now the team is leading 3-1, but not 100% promoted, since last night until now, the morale of the team is obviously high, but at the same time it is high and shows a relaxed mentality.
Although this mentality is good, it is likely to cause the team to be too fond of rivals, and facing a strong team like the Celtics will pay a heavy price once they are rivals.
However, the most important Argentine demon knife on the Spurs bench failed to step up, and compared to the last game, this game was extremely sluggish.
And Kobe Bryant began to exert his power in the 2 minutes before the end of the first half, and Kobe Bryant even shot a whistle shot at the end of the first half to help the Lakers end the first half with 53:47.
"Why is Manu in such a bad state today, is he too hard last night, 0 points will not make Greg. Popovich's madness? Artest said with a smile.
The camera on the screen shows Popovich's face, and Popovich pulls his face and Ginobili walks over completely in disregard.
"Haha, look at Greg's stinky face." Artest pointed at Popovich and said with a smile.
The game was very anxious, and in the second half, the Lakers finally opened up the difference, and the Spurs tried to chase the score again and pulled the score to 65:65.
It wasn't until near the end of the third quarter that Ginobili scored two points on a free throw, and the Spurs trailed 70-77 at the end of the third quarter.
"Today Brent. Is Barry crazy? Three points so accurate? Howard couldn't help but say. On screen, Barry hit a three-pointer at the start of the fourth quarter. Helped the Spurs score five points in a row to close the gap to two.
Lin Sen looked at the Spurs, who had been lagging behind. I hope that the Spurs can overtake and finally reverse the Lakers to enter the Finals.
It's a pity that Linsen's idea didn't come to fruition, and the Spurs, who chased the difference to only two points, fell into trouble and didn't score a point in nearly 3 minutes.
The Lakers opened up 88-79 with 3:29 left in the game, and after a timeout, the Spurs led the game by Brent. Barry hit a three-pointer to close the gap to six.
However, just when Lakers fans thought the Spurs were losing, the Spurs resorted to foul tactics, and after Gasol missed two free throws, Ginobili finally hit a three-pointer. Parker then made a layup and the Spurs trailed 91-93 with 28.1 seconds left in the game.
"San Antonio isn't going to win in the end, is it?" Before Billups could speak, Fisher threw a "three-nipple" with 5.6 seconds left in the game.
"No, no, Robert touched the ball out." Linson shook his head, and Horry knocked the ball out of bounds, which gave the Lakers a chance.
However, this time the Lakers only had 2 seconds left to attack, and Bryant immediately shot after receiving the ball, and missed the shot again.
Leaving the Spurs with 2.1 seconds to attack, they have a lot of key players for the Spurs. However, in the end, the opportunity was given to Brent, who was hot in this game. Barry.
It's a pity that Barry's last three points came out of the frame, and the Spurs fans at the scene were depressed.
"Looks like we're going to play the Lakers!" Howard sighed. If they meet the Lakers, the Lakers have less Anzu inside. Bynum was a lot less stressed.
Although he wants to prove himself to the Spurs, he actually has a burst of joy in his heart to meet the Lakers who are more likely to let him play.
"Wood, that Bryant guy is not easy to deal with, you must be him defensive, what I can help you is to get him on the defensive end, although it is not easy, but Sean and I will do our best." Artest patted Lin Sen.
Battier nodded, "I'm under more pressure with Ron. ”
Lin Sen looked at Artest and Battier with a smile: "I can also fight Bryant, I'm faster." ”
This sentence is not a joke, Lin Sen himself does have this idea, and Lin Sen has also played against Kobe Bryant face-to-face in the regular season, and has played on both the defensive and offensive ends.
Most of the time the defense Kobe Bryant ended in failure, but Lin Sen didn't care about failure, and the experience on the defensive end was accumulated in defense again and again.
Over the past year, he has learned a lot of defensive experience with Billups Artest Battier, but it will take some time for Linson to translate these defensive skills into defensive ends.
However, Lin Sen has absolute confidence in his defensive improvement, and although he is not tall enough, his speed and reflexes are unique.
This talent is destined for him to study hard, and one day he will be able to practice defense, as for how far he will go, it depends on Lin Sen's own creation.
With the end of the fourth game between the Lakers and the Spurs, the whole league has basically reached the consensus that the Magic will compete with the Lakers for this year's championship.
However, the Magic, who returned to Orlando, lost Game 5 at home, and as Linson said, the Magic were a little underwhelming, while the Celtics did their best.
In the second half, the Magic wanted to rise but had no feeling, although Lin Sen scored 34 points, the shooting rate was only 44%, which was not a small gap from the past, but it was already the best one in the Magic table.
The Big Three combined to score 88 points, and the three of them defeated the Magic to chase the total score to 2:3, but this game also made the Magic completely wake up, and the Lakers returned to the old path of the Magic at home, defeating the Spurs 100-92 at home to enter the Finals.
In Game 6, the Big Three were eager to continue the win and drag the game into Game 7 and then stage a miracle of three games in a row, but Linson didn't give the Celtics a chance.
He scored 18 points in the first quarter, and in the first half, Linson hit seven three-pointers alone and scored 33 points.
In the second half, Lin Sen was still hot, and scored 25 points again in the second half.
He scored a career-high 58 points in a single playoff game, and it was these 58 points that helped the Magic beat the Celtics on the road to break into the Finals and officially meet the Lakers. (To be continued......)
