June 15, 2008, game5.

The battle between the Lakers and the Celtics in Tianwang Mountain is inevitably reminded of the same match against both sides 24 years ago, and the same series of matches were played in Tianwang Mountain.

In that game in 1984, Bird and the Magician's performance made people unable to tell that they were old enemies.

In that game, Bird played for 42 minutes, made 15 of 20 shots, scoring 34 points, 17 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals; the Magic played for 39 minutes, scoring 3 of 9 shots, scoring 10 points, 5 rebounds, 13 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks.

The Celtics won that game for granted.

That was the beginning of the magician being criticized by thousands of people. However, anyone who plays a game where "Xiao Feng's great man is as famous as you" will be scolded to the point where he cannot take care of himself.

Tonight, the best result for the Lakers is that they defend their home court, lock in the match point, and then return to North Shore Garden to fight the Celtics to the death.

The best ending against the Celtics is naturally that they follow the examples of all the celebrities 24 years ago, win the critical fifth game, and then return to home to give the Lakers a final blow.

There is no change in the starting lineup of the Lakers and Celtics. Both sides think that their lineup is good and there is no need to make any adjustments.

At the beginning, the Lakers won the ball as usual.

The basketball flew into Wei Xia's hands, but he did not return Fisher, but accelerated and wanted to launch a sudden attack.

Kevin Garnett locked him up.

The Wolf King thought his teammates would cause some trouble to Wei Xia who was rushing forward, but it didn't end up. Wei Xia was like returning to his own home, and he would come and leave as soon as he wanted to, and the target directly locked the basket.

In the paint area, Wei Xia jumped into the air and made a layup.

Behind him, a dark hand held down his ball roughly.

"Beep!"

Although Garnett is brave, it is a distraction.

2 to 0

The Celtics immediately gave the Lakers a little surprise.

Complex tactics, Ray Allen ran to the central position.

Wei Xia, who followed him, felt that their tactics seemed to have seen before. Then, in the middle, Garnett set up a lower back to cover him. He was caught, Allen ran out of the top of the arc, and Paul Gasol actively helped to defend.

He is very motivated, but he has a lot of loopholes. Allen easily misses it and suddenly hits the basket and scores a layup.

2 to 2

Next, Fisher caused a killing and hit the free throw line.

4 to 2

The Lakers pursue high-intensity defense, and the game3 victory is like telling them that the Celtics can do it, they can do it as much.

Who said that decent people can’t roll up their sleeves and work hard? They insist on defeating the Celtics with their strengths!

The Celtics’ biggest feeling: The Lakers are harder than in the last game.

They tried their best to defend their opponents from death, and they could see the purpose and focus of the Lakers from all angles.

Their determination is surprising, and the Celtics never thought that the Lakers would do more crazy in defense and physical contact than they did.

"Young man, relax, if you want to stick to the end."

Ray Allen was so angry that he was so angry that he said.

Wei Xia took a greater effort: "Thank you for your reminder, it might be useful if I was 30 years old this year."

He proudly and confidently stated that he was young enough to stick to the end with this intensity.

Then, the Celtics' offensive rhythm was interrupted.

Rondo passed the ball to Pierce with difficulty, who encountered Kobe's single defense from the outside. The two faced each other for a long time. Truth stumbled and dribbled into the paint area, and only then did he see a loophole in the Lakers - Fisher leaked.

Rondo doesn't seem to be defending anyone, he appears under the basket and only needs a beautiful lob!

Kobe's defense was underestimated, and he made Pierce unable to even send a comfortable lob.

The lob hit the basket and looked like a shot. If it was made, it would be an own goal.

The rebound was called by Radmanovic to stop it, and the Lakers' counterattack reached the frontcourt in a blink of an eye. The teammate's long pass was sent to Wei Xia. He raised his hand and looked like he was about to shoot and scared Ray Allen to jump up.

Then, "Jesus" heard a soft hum from "mortals".

Wei Xia dribbled the ball and broke through Ray Allen, and rushed to the paint area of ​​the Celtics. She ran into Garnett, who rushed back to defend at full speed, but passed the ball to Gasol who was following them.

Gasol, who made Garnett suppress four games, was still given the opportunity to prove that he was a real man.

However, Garnett, who he wants to defeat, was the best defensive player of the year since Mutombo in 2001.

How a real defender can move quickly, protect the penalty area, control the defensive rebounds, and have a light pace to control all cutting angles first. Even if you search for NBA history, you will probably have to return to the 1993-1994 season if you want to find a better penalty area controller than him.

The flying man landed and the dream was reborn, allowing people to see how the top center ruled the game.

Gasol's follow-up not only failed to complete the attack, but also ruined Wei Xia's wonderful passage and was blocked by Garnett.

However, the Celtics, who have completed their wonderful defense, still need to return to the offensive end to face the Lakers' defense.

The Lakers became strangers to them.

Since the Lakers used their iron-blooded defense to win Game 4, defeating their opponents in the areas they are good at has become something that makes them excited.

Although it was tiring to do so, they were willing to stick with it.

A bad offense, another round, Ray Allen made a three-pointer from the outside, and was interfered by Wei Xia, and his attack curve was even crooked, so it was impossible to enter at first glance.

Wei Xia picked up the long rebound that popped up.

Kobe rants: "Give it to me!"

The sound was really terrible.

If you don’t give it to the past, today will be my death. Wei Xiaxi is happy to throw the ball over.

The moment Kobe got the ball, at least four Celtics returned to defend, and his absolute speed was not enough to shake them off, so they rushed to the frontcourt together, inside the three-point line, inside the free throw line, inside the paint area, under the basket - before the Black Mamba's poisonous fangs splashed out venom, it could still take a smarter way to score instead of fighting four with one.

Kobe wanted to show an attitude.

When he encountered a confrontation, he screamed.

The Mamba snake's scream awakened the referee's muscle reaction when he heard the superstar's ghost scream, as if he had forgotten how intense the game it was. He put the whistle to his mouth and blew it up like a robot.

After probably after the hype, they realized: No, do you also want to foul this confrontation?

Kobe, who caused the damage, glanced at every Celtic player who retreated to the frontcourt with sharp eyes. He had fire and murderous aura in his eyes. He didn't say a word, but, "You are already corpses!" The meaning of "You are already corpses!" is obvious.

This year, the league launched the playoff slogan: "Only one." (there   can      only     one)

For Kobe, that person is him, he must be him, he can only be him, and he will destroy whoever stops him.

He fought too fiercely in the first few games, and his free throw feel was very poor.

Today, when he was on the free throw line for the first time, his shot was still a little unstable. The ball turned around on the inside of the ring and rolled in.

In the second round, the unstable feel brought by the fierce confrontation made his free throw missed.

However, Perkins, who advanced to the line, gave Kobedo a free throw opportunity.

As a result, Kobe lost his third free throw, but Perkins was still the cutest person in the eyes of Lakers fans at the moment.

First, we will advance the line early, and then we will make a foul on the spot, giving the Lakers the ball for free.

Without justifying, he stared at his eyes and looked expressionless.

The Lakers' sideline ball was sent to Kobe's hand, and Wei Xia swam to the free throw line according to tactical moves.

Usually, this position belongs to Gasol.

However, his performance in front of Garnett made it impossible for him to be the axis, so Wei Xia took the initiative to take over his job.

While he took the free throw line, he attracted Garnett to defend and Wei Xia immediately lobs the ball to the basket with both hands, helping Espanyol dunk with both hands.

"Good ball, Paul!" Wei Xia shouted, "That's it!"

6 to 2

After encouraging Gasol, Wei Xia stayed in the frontcourt with a smile on his face.

"Do you mind if I'll press you in the frontcourt now?" Wei Xia asked Rondo.

Rondo said coldly: "You won't succeed!"

"You may be right!" Wei Xia's wide and thick chest then pushed behind Rondo, "But I never ask about the result, just care about the process!"

Wei Xia, who wanted to give Rondo a ruthless move, was not sure about the standard. He was too fierce.

In less than five seconds, the referee called him a foul.

A small episode that did not attract anyone's attention passed by Wei Xia's bitter smile.

Rondo was not forced to death. His speed, athletic ability, and basic control skills were all passed. His huge palm was the biggest obstacle for him to improve his shooting, but at the same time, it also allowed him to control the ball in the most stable way.

What made Rondo most frightened was that it became difficult to pass the ball through halftime, and this difficulty was like those who watched Liu Xiaoqing play a beautiful girl. Choosing to watch was just an easy decision, and the difficult thing was how you resist vomiting in that process.

Garnett came out to connect on the outside.

Rondo gave the ball, and Garnett immediately handed it over to Ray Allen who ran out to get the ball.

Since Rondo did not have any threat on the outside, Weisha and Fisher handed over successfully.

Garnett then passed the ball to Allen and took the initiative to run to the lower left position.

Basketball player Fisher and then transferred it to him, it seems that the Celtics finally got an offensive opportunity.

However, Kobe did what Jordan did before the century-old shot. He secretly came behind Garnett and stepped forward to grab the ball. He slapped the ball to the ground without a single shot, let alone let the Wolf King lie down. He made a surprise.

The Wolf King hugged the ball tightly, and Kobe's hand penetrated through the ring where his arm was put on. At that moment, in the referee's eyes, Kevin Garnett had no cylinder.

Kobe rasped the ball down roughly, and Rivers was so angry that he waved from the referee to imitate Kobe's interception: "tmd! Do you want him to cut off the kg hand before calling a foul?"

Wei Xia was shocked after watching it. Compared with Kobe's interception, what is the confrontation he gave to Rondo?

Is this the regular season MVP?

Is this the privilege of the league's number one?

There was an interlude in the frontcourt. Wei Xia thought they had two-on-three and there was no pressure, but Kobe's pass was intercepted by Rondo. What's outrageous is that Rondo took a few steps to get the ball and was intercepted by Kobe. What's even more outrageous is that Gasol, who had completely got an open position, received Kobe's pass and made a three-no-touch shot.

"Espanyol was overwhelmed by pressure," said Michael Thompson. "The Lakers can't count on his offense at all."

"However, as long as his defense is in place, the offense doesn't matter."
Chapter completed!
