Chapter 551 The only person who adapted to the atmosphere of the tiebreaker (13/60)
Pierce squirted about Kobe's trash, Wei Xia squirted back, and Kobe responded with a jump shot of 21.
Mike German said: "North Shore Gardens became Colosseum!"
In fact, as long as you enter the playoffs, the NBA stadium is nothing more than a large beast-fighting place with 20,000 people watching. A group of giants with different physical fitness and closer to wild beasts are fighting inside.
The only difference is that in the Colosseum stands, people used to pull their thumbs down and declare their life death. In the NBA arena, people applauded and shouted for these beastly athletes, or beat their chests and stamped their feet.
The Celtics' competition does have the style of fighting beasts.
Kobe is still a little tight, both sides are a little tight. After all, it is natural for him to play in the seventh game, and being nervous and cautious are all human nature.
The Celtics are trying to defend Kobe in different ways.
At the beginning, Pierce was the main defense of him, while the other Celtics players never dispersed too far. The strategy to deal with the Lakers' pick-and-roll was Garnett and Perkins' fierce online oppression.
The most interesting scene in the first few minutes was that Kobe took the defensive rebound and wanted to push and counterattack. Garnett stood in front of him with a symbolic force.
The ones that were replaced immediately were Ray Allen and Rondo.
The Celtics' fast rotation defense is easy to deal with pick-and-roll, which is why Kobe has been unable to get angry with the Celtics since the fifth game - but considering that he met the toughest team in the league in the playoffs, his brief downturn is not unforgivable - Kobe has been restrained to a certain extent, because for the Lakers, the cooperation between Kobe and Gasol is a deadly weapon.
Therefore, with the strategy of Celtics making a splash, Kobe and Gasol's offensive potential was completely eliminated.
Kobe was too hasty in his personal offensive choices tonight.
The main theme of the tiebreak battle is confrontation, endless confrontation, and it is not possible to score without showing high-level response ability.
The Celtics forced out a series of ugly behaviors from the Lakers.
Kobe's seemingly extremely selfish drift jump shot has no results.
Fisher made a quick stop jump shot like a flash. Facing Rondo's defense, his offensive choice seemed to control the novice 2K player who dribbled the ball over half but pressed the shooting key by mistake.
The Celtics are not much better.
Garnett cleared the name of big men who like to shoot: their ability to attack is really not good.
Even Wei Xia's breakthrough was strongly blocked by the Celtics.
The shooting feel is uncontrollable. Even if you hit every shot during the warm-up, you may not be able to find the feeling of scoring the goal if you are hit during the game.
The defense is not the case. You only need to dispatch your limbs and fully stimulate the motor nerves to limit your opponents. It is really suitable for a monster like Garnett, who has the same passion as fire on the defensive end.
He gave Wei Xia a nail-board hat from a perspective that he could not foresee.
The Celtics are extremely close to breaking the scoring drought that both sides have built together.
His breakthrough took advantage of Garnett's pick-and-roll and went straight into the penalty area. Under the interference of Gasol's long arm, he used a trolley and hit the rebound, but unfortunately bounced out of the basket.
The time has not come, and basketball still doesn't want to fall into the net.
It seems that everyone is waiting, waiting for the time to score the goal to fall on themselves.
6 to 5
The Celtics lead the Lakers by one point with an almost negligible advantage.
Gasol's ball-holding attack was one step closer than Pierce. Compared to Pierce's severe interference, his ball has been hit. If it goes well, it should be a hit.
But he underestimated his opponent.
Garnett, who has been dominating Gasol since the finals, was not pushed away. He reacted and his quick bounce speed instantly followed the Spaniard and once again nailed the hat.
His defense is like a pile of burning fire, which is placed there, often overlooked. Once Mars splashes out from it and falls on people, it will always make people scream.
The moment of breaking waste has arrived from the fifth minute of the first quarter to the fifth minute.
Pierce broke through the dribble, and Radmanovic launched a high-pressure confrontation from the side, causing the opponent to foul.
Pierce's ball was not put into the basket, but he got the chance to get a free throw.
5 minutes have passed, and not counting the upcoming free throw, both sides still scored 6-5.
"It's an ugly game for the layman."
"But for fans who can understand the game, you can never find a better showdown than this!"
Wei Xia passed the ball to Kobe, and he was at the low post.
Kobe rarely fell to the low post, turning his back around and trying to attack the basket. The Celtics were prepared for it. Garnett blocked his downline and wanted to force Black Mamba into a desperate situation with Gentleman Lei.
Kobe passed the ball adventurously, trying to assist Gasol with a hit.
His passing technique cannot be guaranteed to be stable under high-intensity defense, which is also one of the gaps between him and Jordan. He is also forced into a desperate situation. After the age of 30, Jordan often acts like the realistic version of Muji Teppelin. He is often forced into a desperate situation by the opponent's encirclement during the attack. He is about to shoot a random ball, but he finds a gap in defense and then instantly sends the ball out.
His passing quality has never been a problem. The only problem is that most of his teammates are mortals, and they can't react and are often hit by his balls, losing the first opportunity to attack.
Kobe's pass to Gasol was out of bounds due to his technique and vision.
The Celtics broke the scoring drought with free throws. Although it was only one of two free throws, it was enough, while the Lakers' scoring drought continued.
What should they do to end the current dilemma?
No one knows.
Fortunately, the free throw breaks the scoring drought, which does not mean that the Celtics regain their feel.
Garnett used his predecessor to pick-and-roll Rondo, and then built an iron-like wall for Ray Allen on his back. His body was hit by his opponent. Although he got an open position and got the ball, he did not have a good feel to ensure that the basketball hit the basket.
"Bang!"
The first quarter fell below 7 minutes, 7 to 5. The dilemma of no one being able to score was still ongoing due to the fierce confrontation between the two sides.
"So it's so difficult to score?"
Trovis heard someone beside him say.
"It's too savage! Is this the Lakers? The Lakers don't play like this!"
"It's all Wish's fault! That weirdo makes the Lakers less Lakers!"
The old fan who spoke was an elderly fan: "I really miss the Lakers who collapsed after coming to the garden to play tiebreak."
Trovis did not talk to them, she disdains this, and those who live in the past are waving goodbye to the future with infinite view. She would never do that, nor would she mock those people.
6 minutes 55 seconds
Wei Xia, who was running, suddenly stopped. It was the low post on the right. Kobe was holding the ball outside, but he took the initiative to get stuck behind the race - who is behind him? Paul Pierce, who has been making noise since the beginning of the game!
Wei Xia decisively demanded the position and let Kobe pass the ball.
Kobe's ball was passed.
Pierce shouted sarcastically: "You are just a dog begging for mercy beside Kobe!"
Wei Xia snorted lowly and did not respond. His head, neck and shoulders made the illusion of turning upwards. When Pierce mistakenly thought that it was the "truth" he wanted, the things he was doing were just dreams.
Wei Xia's body turned around to the back of the basket with all her strength, swaying like a spin. When she was sweeping over Pierce's defense, her left hand elbowed to the opponent's cheek along with inertia. The scream of "truth" did not make Wish feel any guilty. The ray of talent was shining dazzlingly with the spotlights of the audience covering him. He followed a jump and rushed into the green paint area where the hidden dragon and the creeping tiger were. Kendrick Perkins in front of him was like an inconquering mountain!
In Wish's dictionary, there is no word "giving up/escape". Endless power gathers under his feet. He exerted force on the spot and jumped, with a vertical height of one meter. It was the Celtic's biggest mistake to prevent Wei Xia from exerting interference. So they could only look at Wei Xia, who jumped to the highest point, and humiliated Perkins the most brutal!
"Wish, you're murder!" Mike Bryn roared loudly.
Perkins was deducted by Wei Xia in the air!
With such physical contact, they almost used their whole body to hedge. As a result, the referee did not think Perkins had a foul, so Wei Xia's bloody dunk was only counted as 2 points.
Even if it is only 2 points, it is an extraordinary 2 points.
7 to 7
"Wish ended the Lakers' scoring drought in an unexpected way!"
In the stands, the Lord of Rings, wearing a black suit, said in a low voice: "The Lakers' No. 6 looks like the only one who has adapted to the finals tiebreak atmosphere."
"I heard this is his first time playing in the finals?"
"It seems to be."
"That's amazing! He is the legendary Mr. Big Scene? Contemporary Jerry West?"
"There is no disrespect to Jerry. I hope Wish is Jerry, so these young people will win, because Jerry will never be able to win the seventh game, forever!"
The old people who brought supreme glory to the Celtics compared Wei Xia with the legendary LOGO man in a teasing tone, but they didn't know that Wei Xia was so adapting to the atmosphere of the tiebreak battle was entirely because of theirs.
Except for Kobe and Fisher, no one in the Lakers has won the championship. They don’t know how to show their energy in such a game. Fisher is just a role player, and Kobe is fighting against public opinion, the inner demon, and his finger injury.
The experience of the old times allowed Wei Xia to follow the great Green Kai to compete in many difficult series. He knew the atmosphere of tiebreak and how to adjust his mentality.
So, Russell said he was the only person on the field to adapt to the tiebreak atmosphere, and it was completely correct.
The Celtics are ready to create opportunities for Ray Allen.
This sharpshooter who has been blocked by Wish has not taken action tonight.
Garnett's empty-handed cover had the idea of taking the opportunity to retaliate against Wei Xia, and he deliberately placed his elbow on the route of travel.
Wei Xia thought about covering and had to hit his elbow.
He didn't expect that Wei Xia took the opportunity to perform. He did hit Garnett's elbow, but it was not as intense as it seemed on the surface. However, the moment he glided backward, he deserved to be a black name for performing artists.
