Chapter 493 Old Enemies, Reunion

Not many people can understand Yunus's melancholy now. After all, on the other side of the ocean, everyone is more concerned about the finals, and the reason why the media and fans are excited is that the old enemies have met again.

Decades of kindness and resentment, and now that you meet it again, don't expect the game to be plain.

Even the gambling company has begun to predict whether such an old enemy will fight seven times?

Anyway, no one says that the Celtics can sweep their opponents. Although the Green Shirts swept the way in the East, after all, they have reached the finals this time. Is it really the first place in the West?

At least the Lakers also swept the Spurs. The fierce role of the Jazz made it all the way to the finals.

Don't talk about the old topic of strong and weak in the east. Just looking at the opponents conquered by the two sides, this is obviously not the same level! Especially the fans in Los Angeles are shouting that Boston was too smooth before.

"I haven't experienced the test of iron and blood. What is the endurance of Bostonians? All this is unknown, so don't use those sweeping experiences as achievements! That will make you look very pale!"

"If Boston can play seven games with the Spurs, they are qualified to comment on the Lakers!"

"A team that has just experienced a life-and-death battle, but Boston has been at ease for too long. Can they really win the Lakers in a face-to-face match? I think this may be very small and almost negligible.

"Boston's strength is not bad, but they do play too well. Once you encounter setbacks, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not collapse. In the past few decades, there have been too many such teams, which has a precedent."

Such a voice is also a little noisy now. In contrast, there are more people who are optimistic about the Lakers now. After all, these guys have shown their fierce style in the confrontation with the Spurs.

And now the team is running in place, the players are in good condition, and there is no trouble with injuries. The most important thing is that in the coaching position, they have very experienced "Zen masters", and Rivers is a newcomer!

Although that fat guy has been in the NBA for several years, has he reached the finals? Does he have nine championship rings in his hand!? It's no big deal to be number one in the league!

Look at the honor book of the "Zen Master". The best record in the regular season of the league is his, and in the fight in the playoffs, he is more experienced and has a very high winning rate. Rivers lacks much in this regard.

In the face of such a horizontal comparison, no one may say that Boston will suffer losses in terms of player strength, but in the position of head coach, "Zen Master" is in the state of killing Rivers in seconds.

And the "Zen master" has just defeated Popovich, who has an extremely tough style, and what role did Rivers kill all the way? Mike Brown? Or Sanders? Who can compare it on the table?

Even if Sloan takes it out, it weighs more than these two guys, right? And the loyal guardian of Salt Lake City was still taken down by the "Zen Master"!? Can Rivers really count the old fox?

Don't say that the opponent is not optimistic about this comparison. Maybe even his own people in Boston are a little worried about this problem, but for Rivers himself, he has no time to pay attention to such a comparison now.

Anyway, since the day he became the coach of the Celtics, the voice of criticism has not been interrupted. Before last season, some people said, why did this kind of guy with an annual salary of five million stay in Boston?

But no matter how noisy those criticisms are, isn't the final winner still Rivers? He is still sitting on the sidelines of the Celtics to direct the game, and what about the guys who said he was leaving? Aren't they all gone?

So, even if those media have quarreled, Rivers is still indifferent.

I'm still busy with business now. Who has the spare time to quarrel? Rivers doesn't have that time.

When the opponents in the finals have been finalized, the question that Rivers and Sieberdeau have to consider is how to give the Lakers a first blow with a home advantage. The first two games are absolutely not allowed to lose.

In the face of an old fox like Phil Jackson, you don't want to play any tricks for him. If you want to deal with this old guy like calculating Sanders, you must be the one who will suffer in the end.

The "Zen Master" has never seen anything. Even Auerbach said, no matter how unhappy he is with Jackson, but he has to make a very pertinent comment. In the past 20 years, that guy has been the best.

Don't talk about Pat Riley, Popovich and Sloan. If you really compare the coaching level and stability, Jackson will often find some places with more stars to hug his thighs, but his ability to adjust the team is absolutely first-class, even if he is often the old god on the sidelines. It's settled.

After all, the old guy has nine championship rings on his hand, which can no longer deny the value of Jackson. You are really unconvinced. You can also bring nine, er, but most of them should be imitation.

Of course, in the face of such an opponent, Rivers will only be more cautious. This black fat man is no longer a rookie. Even in the face of an old fox like Jackson, he is not afraid much.

They are all earthlings with a nose and two eyes. What are they afraid of? Can that old guy still eat people? In the game, it doesn't always depend on the players to play. The coach arranges tactics at most and plays a role in stabilizing the army.

Do you really expect that the coaches on both sides can also roll their arms and sleeves to fight by themselves? But if that's the case, Rivers is fully confident that he can kill the old Jackson.

At this moment, the two teams have no secrets between each other. What cards are in their hands are almost bright at this time. Now, what can be fought is stability.

Whoever can exert all his strength in the finals and play more steadily than his opponent, then who will be the final champion? Such a confrontation is a strength.

Just looking at the Lakers' lineup, Rivers also knows that this is a hard bone. After all, it is also the first in the West, and the starting lineup of those guys is also very fierce.

If you look closely, you will find that the starting scoring efficiency of the Lakers can definitely rank in the top two in the league. Even if the Celtics can lead a little, the gap is absolutely big.

The Celtics's always advantage is on the inside, not to mention Pierce and Ray Allen on the periphery.

But the Celtics are the two most efficient in attack, Garnett and Chen Feng. They often detonate bombs in the opponent's three-second zone, which makes those guys look completely unreate.

The Eagles are like this, and so are the Cavaliers, including the strong Pistons. In the end, they were swept out because of the loss of the inside line, so they had to accept the result of being killed.

But now the Celtics, the most advantageous offensive area, are facing a strong challenge for the Lakers.

After a season of trading, those Los Angeles people also supplemented such strong aids as Gasol in the traditional advantage of the inside line, and also used the Spaniards to enhance the offensive and defensive vitality of the inside line.

It can be said that the Lakers' reinforcement this time is to work hard on their own advantages. They are full of energy to restore their center tradition.

Even if Kobe is in charge now, the inside position must not be the team's weakness, but with Gasol's joining, the Lakers' inside line has become quite strong now.

It's not that the Celtics and the Lakers haven't played each other this season, but Los Angeles at that time didn't wait for the arrival of the Spanish power forward, and Bynum's injury was also delayed again and again.

Even Kobe's own wits were a little sluggish. At that time, the Lakers only ranked eighth in the West, not the strong team that could get the first place in the West later.

If you want to measure the confrontation at that time now, even Rivers may not feel convincing. The Lakers are their strongest state now.

Especially the three high points of the inside line. They are obviously more dominant than the Celtics in terms of height. Rivers also admits that, after all, Chen Feng is less than 210 meters now.

And Gasol and Bynum are a few centimeters taller than him, so Garnett can be equal to them. Maybe such a disadvantage is not obvious, but if Odom is also included.

At least in terms of average height, the Celtics are slightly at a disadvantage. Coupled with Kobe and Fisher, Los Angeles is now fully capable of wrestling with the Green Shirts.

In fact, it's not just as simple as arm wrestling. If you really count the strength on the card, the Lakers and the Celtics are almost the same, not to mention Kobe Bryant in Los Angeles.

Let's see what kind of crazy that guy was when he was in a desperate situation with the Spurs. If you really want to kill the Lakers, you really have to take this into account. Kobe's strong desire to win is frightening.

Just like Boston has been sinking for 20 years, Kobe Bryant has been out in the first round of the playoffs for two consecutive years. In the face of those doubts, Peter Pan needs a strong counterattack!

He needs to let those who question him know that even without O'Neal, he can take the Lakers to win the championship! You can also let the champion flag over Staples continue to increase!

Instead of losing O'Neill as those guys said is to lose the Lakers' tradition, leaving Kobe Bryant, and leaving a maniac who likes to brush data when he has nothing to do!

On the stage of the finals, not only the Celtics have to prove themselves, Kobe also needs the championship.

Such a situation is a headache for Rivers. How to deal with the inside line of the Lakers? It is estimated that it will kill a lot of this guy's brain cells. Thibodu also needs to think more about the overall defense. After all, the famous triangular attack of the "Zen master" is almost insoluble in this league. In.

It's not so easy to block the Lakers' attack, and these guys are also extremely eager for honor now. Looking at their stab with the Spurs, you can see how ferocious the Lakers are.

This is definitely a fight with the Celtics. Now that the old enemies get together again, they may kill people. Anyway, don't think that they can be kind.

There is no foundation for peaceful coexistence between the two cities. It's polite not to scold the street directly after meeting. When Rivers saw that the Spurs were eliminated, he said it on the spot!

Although they have not met in the finals in the past 20 years, but now, the past grievances have gathered and fermented, leaving both sides with a fight like a dragon and a tiger.

If the old enemy meets, if there is a bloody scene, is it still called the old enemy? It's too peaceful. I guess even Stann can't stand it.

Between Los Angeles and Boston, the warm-up has begun, but no one knows how much the temperature can soar.

Anyway, you will never be disappointed in such a finals. Sparks are sure. Maybe it will be a forest fire, but I don't know who will be burned to death...
