June 12, 2008, game4.

The strategies of the fourth and third games are very different.

The Lakers put strong pressure on the ball at the beginning and dared to defend the gambling style.

However, viciousness does not mean barbarism or recklessness. For example, when defending Rajon Rondo, Fisher had to make the disability shoot far away regret why he didn't practice shooting.

There was a round, and Fisher almost retreated to the edge of the paint area, which was the strategy.

Super high defensive intensity, controlling defensive rebounds, and fast-paced attacks are the Lakers' ideas for the first quarter.

This strong oppression was unexpectedly effective for the Celtics, because Rivers probably didn't expect the Lakers to dare to do the opposite, just like the independent group that was fooled by Yamamoto's special forces team in "Bright Sword". Li Yunlong said, "This was originally our specialty. Why can't you do it suddenly with you?"

The most unexpected scene.

Luke "The Smartest Lakers" Walton's intercepted ball dunk at the end of the first quarter is a overall portrayal of the Lakers' defensive end in the first quarter: a three-pointer who gave up the bottom corner, a gambling steal, and a very happy dunk after winning.

Kobe, like before, bite Pierce with steps.

Ray Allen encountered Wei Xia's desperate defense and could not run out of the opportunity. Although he felt good, he only got 4 phone calls and scored 5 points.

The price of excessive force in the first quarter is that in the second quarter, most of the Lakers' defenses cannot keep up.

At the beginning, the Celtics used a strong three-man rotation to open up the space. Pierce received the ball at the same position, stepped in the reverse step and cut directly.

He played Walton one-on-one and was happy as if he was eating dishes. The Lakers had a short-circuit at this time: they either simply gave Walton or even Maglouill a 45-degree back, or used a single-player cover to catch the ball and jump shot.

After a sharp and high-pressure defense in the first quarter, the anger disappeared in the second quarter, and they were half-baked and unfamiliar with rice. When the Celtics caught up until 3 points, the Zen master waved his hand and wanted Paul Gasol to play and consolidate the inside.

Not to mention that Gasol and the Celtics did not have a single game in the four finals, like a big lock that could suppress the penalty area. Even if he could, it would be too late now.

The Celtics first pulled apart collectively and then Garnett cut into the dunk, and then Pierce used the screen to get rid of the long shot. They made a 13-0 wave.

One of the balls, when Walton was blocked by the cover, Maglouill stood there in a daze. The Lakers' defense was in a communication barrier in the second quarter, as if they were talking to each other.

Seeing that the lead was going to be exhausted, Wei Xia stood up and scored 5 points in a row to stabilize her position.

Then, the first half ended.

58 to 51

The Lakers lead the Celtics by 7 points at home. Although they have an advantage, it is too early to win.

During the half-time break, an espn reporter who didn't know where it came from asked Wei Xia: "Since the finals, your average score per game is almost the same as Kobe. What do you think is the reason?"

Not counting this game, Kobe averaged 28 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists per game in the previous three games, with a shooting percentage of 44%. Wei Xia was a little behind, averaging 26 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of slightly higher, 46%.

If you don’t answer this kind of question well, you will easily be provoked by reporters.

Wei Xia expressed his arrogance and a confident face that he was confused and confident whenever he was involved: "Is it necessary to say? I am better than him, this is obvious."

Wei Xia's "arrogance" prevents reporters from delving into this.

They also cannot use Wei Xia's answer to make a fuss.

Because anyone with normal brains can see that Wei Xia is joking. Although his acting skills are very good, this is just a joke.

The theme of the finals was determined by the Celtics from the beginning.

Defensive victory

The Celtics knew this too much, and they attached too much importance to defense, but they played poorly on the offensive end.

In the second half, the Celtics, who were 7 points behind the Lakers, needed a stable offense to chase points.

However, their offensive end is almost casual, which is simpler than the Cavaliers who "ask James".

Looking at the three quarters, their offense was nothing more than finding opportunities to give Pierce the ball, then pull them all away, or mixing a little Ray Allen's classic baseline in the middle and then catching the ball and shooting long shots - this move was unsatisfactory, not that Wei Xia was not good at defending without the ball, but because the quality of the Celtics' off-ball screening was higher than expected, they had already shown confidence.

As a result, everything went wrong today by the Celtics.

Garnett originally wanted to take over the attack, but the Lakers were already scared by Garnett in the two games in North Shore Garden. In order to limit his performance, two seven-foot men often asked to protect the penalty area.

If you have a long man to protect the penalty area, the disadvantage is that you are easily inserted into the back door - for example, Aaron or Rondo's empty cut to the bottom line layup, the advantage is that the front can basically kill you.

This is true for the Lakers, isn't the Celtics?

The question is simple.

The Celtics knew that Pierce was confident of playing Kobe, and he would have as much ball rights as possible. Just give it to him. As long as he got the ball, everyone else would pull it away no matter how it would.

Even their signature tactical bottom line has become less interspersed, because if there is interspersed, it will bring the defender, indirectly bringing the thickness of the penalty area, which is not conducive to the attack.

The Celtics have simplified their offense, and the Lakers have indulged their players even more. The strict triangular tactics are almost impossible to see. Even if they are done, they are just showing off.

Kobe and Wei Xia's cover played for a while. The strong side cover and the slight movement on the wing side made some difficult shots and then competed for the frontcourt rebounds.

However, Kobe's swimming can indeed destroy the Celtic formation.

Wei Xia's exercise can not only help Kobe relieve the difficulty of space, but also create a threat to him with the ball.

It was with their swimming and fast passes, and the Lakers took advantage of the third quarter when they fought.

When Ray Allen is strangled, Pierce needs to stand up.

Rondo cannot defeat the tough, Perkins cannot defeat the tough, and Garnett is a famous typical star who "you can do whatever you want, just don't let him attack the tough."

Under the violent offensive of w/mish, the Lakers rely entirely on the attack of two outside guns, and they will swallow the Celtics as in the second game.

The score difference in a single quarter once hit 25 to 14.

At that time, there were 4 minutes left in the third quarter, Pierce was overturned to the ground, and Wei Xia scored a dunk.

After getting up, Pierce spitted bloody saliva and immediately scored 7 points in a row, insisting on using "truth" to stabilize Boston's position.

However, the defensive end was in stalemate with the Lakers, and the offensive end was not as explosive as that of Green Kai, who had many Lakers, and he still lost 10 points in a single quarter.

At the end of the third quarter, 81 to 64, the Celtics were already 17 points behind.

Have their problems been solved?

Obviously not.

Although Pierce played an unstoppable offensive state at the end of the third quarter.

But his condition was unsustainable. In the fourth quarter, a lot of ball power and physical contact from the Lakers, and almost no rest in the first three quarters, finally reduced his physical strength and his rhythm was stuttering.

After half of the fourth quarter, the last shot was made, the sports battle began to become weak.

Compared with that, the Lakers' w/mish is still full of energy in the fourth quarter.

Kobe watched as he was sweating profusely, but he did not relax in any round of defense.

Wei Xia was even more exaggerated. In order to prove that his physical fitness was not limiting, he actually made a three-minute one-on-one frontcourt press against Rondo at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

Driven by w/mish's vitality, the rest of the Lakers gained strength from their ability, unexpectedly full of rough and wild energy.

So in the middle of the fourth quarter, the Lakers rushed to attack and rebounded continuously, playing even more like the Celtics than the Celtics.

The Lakers in this game are different from the previous three games.

In the first three games, the Lakers were not strong enough, but in the fourth game, w/mish had almost unlimited energy. With the unchanged high-intensity offense and defense from the first quarter to the fourth quarter, they destroyed the Celtics step by step.

So that moment came, and the autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves.

Under normal circumstances, once the Lakers start, their offense will be unrestrained and limitless, allowing home fans to miss the past and think of the "performance moment" that permanently connects with the 1980s.

But in the last three minutes, they were as tough and tough as traditional Eastern teams, without shying away from any physical contact.

That was the energy brought by Wei Xia and Kobe. They led to the changes in the team. They used the Celtics to suppress the Celtics head-on, and then, in each other's consumption, both sides were dried by the fire on each other.

The pressure on the defensive end can already be reflected to the audience on the scene and the fans in front of the TV through the scene. As for the offense, the entire Green Kai team seems to be unable to play w/mish.

If the Celtics want to get the match point, they have to stand up with someone other than Pierce.

Rondo is not good. He may be one of the five best ammunition transporters in the league, but it would be too embarrassing to let him shoot the bullets himself and ask him to shoot them accurately.

Garnett? His advantages can be said to be a few pages of 4a paper.

His assisted defense was unable to play because Kobe and Wei Xia were far away from the penalty area. He still caught 5 frontcourt rebounds surrounded by the Lakers. The Lakers targeted double-teams restricted his turn and cutting, but they did not ban it. However, the Lakers, who had been putting the roving goal formation in the inside for a long time, forced him to attack from outside. His feel disappeared like his teammates around him.

Ray Allen is the most invisible giant tonight.

Wei Xia's performance of 26107 assists on the offensive end was amazed by the whole game. Everything he did on the defensive end was far underestimated.

Pierce, who has a good feel, made 7 shots in the first half and scored 3 goals.

In the second half, Wei Xia strangled Rondo in the frontcourt, and retreated to the backcourt to catch up with his teammates to defend against Junzi Lei, and then allowed him to shoot only 5 goals in the second half and hit 2 goals.

Fans have little impression of Allen's 13 points because he was completely locked by Wei Xia.

Kobe scored 30 points early, showing his presence on the defensive end, while not forgetting his teammates, especially Wei Xia.

Kobe is not a positional commander type figure. He has exquisite short pass techniques, but he is not top-notch in long-distance pass accuracy, vision and passing speed.

All of today's game, everything he did was quite wise: in the case of poor feel, he used Gasol's cover or his own dribble to create a cut, and then assisted Fisher's three-pointer in the second quarter. After he made several cuts to disrupt the Celtics' team, he sent the ball back to Weisha for him to continue handling. The return after these cuts was the same as his last moment of intercepting the ball and dunking: when he felt bad, when his overall condition was limited to difficulties, he thought of ways to help the team.

The moment when the Lakers wins, it is between Pierce's offense and Wei Xia's defense.

That was a misplaced position. Pierce was coming to cover, and Wei Xia and Kobe switched spiritual defense, one continued to chase Allen, and the other watched Pierce from the outside.

Pierce attacked confidently, as if he wanted to use Wei Xia to retrieve his lost touch.
