Chapter 183 Finals Celtics vs Clippers

The 3:0 lead made most of the Los Angeles Clippers enter the stage of the finals. Lin Fei is getting closer and closer to his first finals journey. At this time, the Eastern Conference finals also entered the realm of 3:0. Such a score of the East and West finals surprised many people.

On May 26, the crowd in the audience at the Dallas American Airlines Center on May 26 gradually dispersed before the end of the game. When the whistle at the end of the game sounded, Nowitzki walked to Lin Fei. The two stars simply hugged, "Lin, I hope you can win the final championship."

Lin Fei gently patted Nowitzki on the back and said, "Dirk, I will. You will be better next year."

Looking at the background of Nowitzki's departure, Lin Fei shook his head and shook his head. This is the cruelty of competitive sports. There is a winner and a loser at the same time. He has been a loser in the past two years. He can only watch Kobe advance.

The desire for the O'Brien Cup has never been as strong as this year, and the Orlando Magic in the fourth game of the Eastern Conference Finals tenaciously dragged the game into overtime. Finally, with Jamil Nelson's two three-pointers in overtime, the Magic won a difficult victory and won the total score. 1:3.

The Clippers' promotion almost won overwhelming media reports, and the Los Angeles media were already working hard for the finals. However, Howard did not seem to intend to give up his efforts. The magic that returned home court won another game with a 113:94 victory, which was greatly inspired by the nearly 20 points. With the morale of the Magic players, the Orlando media has even begun to report on the Jedi reversal.

And the Celtics are also a little panicked. If they can't win the victory at home in the sixth game, once they are dragged to the seventh game, it will have a huge impact on the morale of both sides.

On May 31, after losing two games in a row, the Celtics successfully defeated the Orlando Magic 96-84 and advanced to the finals with a total score of 4:2, which was the second time they had reached the finals in three years.

The Clippers finally waited for the real opponent to be released. Although they have been training with the Celtics as the imaginary enemy in the finals these days, they have more or less trained with magic as the imaginary enemy. Now the real opponent is out of Mike. Dunleavy also has a better arrangement for training.

And the daily war of words between Boston and Los Angeles made the finals four days later full of smoke.

Except for every day in Boston and Los Angeles, almost all the media in the United States have focused on the upcoming finals, ESPN columnist Mark. The comparison of the strength of Stern's players has been approved by most people.

However, no matter how much saliva the outside world is, it can't affect the preparation of the players on both sides. Although the Celtics' main lineup is older, they are experienced and still do not show the great stumbling to them by age. They have even become more sophisticated under the erosion of the years, and this is their second finals in the past three years. For them, they also have more experience in the finals than most of the Clippers. This is Mike. Dunleavy is quite worried.

Garnett, Pierce, Ray. The names of the three people of Allen are prominently marked with a red pen on the tactical board, while La Jian. Rondo's name was marked with a blue pen.

More of them are simulated in training, Mike. Dunleavy made a final arrangement for the relevant personnel, and everyone hopes to make a good start at the beginning of the finals.

And Doug. Rivers is undoubtedly more worried. Although his team has experienced veterans, the Clippers are not lacking. As the first game gets closer and closer, both sides feel the tension of the finals.

At 8 p.m. on June 4th, the bustling downtown of Los Angeles seemed to have become quieter. When the eyes gathered on Staples, people knew the reason. There were thousands of people in the square outside Staples. People were surrounded by the super-large LED screen on the square. The picture was just before the start of the first game of the finals. In the warm-up scene of the Celtics and the Clippers, there was a neat cheering sound in the square from time to time.

The fans of the Clippers are obviously crazy. This is the first time in their history that they have entered the finals, and the feud between Los Angeles and Boston is undoubtedly the highlight of publicity. Staples, who temporarily added 3,000 seats, were still bought up in a short time, so that many people use them outside Staples. There are various ways to try to buy a ticket to go in.

At the door of the Staples Arena, a father and son attracted a lot of attention. The little boy in front of him wrote on his chest, "If anyone can give me a ticket, I will sell my father to him."

And the middle-aged man behind him also wrote on his chest, "If anyone can give me a ticket, I will sell my son to him, but please don't tell him."

The Staples Center, with 3000 temporary seats, is more crowded, and all kinds of sounds meet.

Everyone is waiting for the start of the finals, which has attracted live broadcasts from nearly 160 countries around the world.

"This is the court platform, this is the court platform! Now we will broadcast the first game of the NBA 2009-10 season finals live for you. If you have any views on the game, or have anything you want to say, you can send ***** to *****, you can win the generous basketball gift package we have prepared for you, and a lucky audience will be selected to win Chen Hao in each quarter. The latest autographed battle boots Destroyer Soul 2.0!" With that, Yu Jia took the second generation of soul in her hand and showed it to the audience in front of the TV.

ESPN has excluded the unprecedented four-person commentary group, which is the first time in the entire commentary history of ESPN, Charles. Barkley, Kenny. Smith, Jeff. Van Gundy, Mark. The four Jacksons will work together to give a live commentary to audiences across the United States.

Staples' lights were all turned off, the hot music sounded, and the spotlight began to shine on every corner of the stadium. In the weak voice of the DJ at the scene, the Celtic players began to play, accompanied by enough deafening boos.

When the Celtics players came out, all the Clippers fans were waiting for their heroes to appear, and the Clippers players began to appear one by one in the roar of the DJ.

When it came to the last one, the spotlight was also turned off, and a low and favorable roar broke out in every corner of Staples in the dark. With the DJ's shout, Lin Fei trotted out of the player's channel, holding his hands high and the fans on both sides of the player's channel to celebrate, and the whole Staples reached the first wave* *.

Lin Fei clearly feels how excited he is at this moment, which is an unprecedented feeling.

"The well-anticipated finals are finally coming. Now let's take a look at the starting list of both sides. Not surprisingly, the Celtics' starting line-up will not change. I believe Doug. Rivers is also paying great attention to the Clippers' starting list at this moment. Charles. Barkley said with a smile.

Jeff. Van Gundy looked at the list in his hand, "The Celtics' starting lineup is Perkins and Kevin. Garnett, Paul. Pierce, Ray. Allen and La Jane. Rondo is exactly the same as the prediction before the game. O'Neill Jr. is still on the bench. This arrangement is undoubtedly to give the insider a certain lethality in the second lineup competition stage.

"The Clippers' starting list has changed a little, and the main center has been replaced by Shaquille, who has only started 12 games in the whole season. O'Neal, the power forward position is Tyson. It is obvious that Chandler is Dunleavy's way to curb Kevin's appearance. The small forward position has been replaced by Ron, who rarely starts in the playoffs. Artest, the shooting guard position is still Lin Fei, and the organization guard is still Andre. Miller, I don't know if the lineup of the Clippers is unexpected to Rivers? Mark. Jackson looked at Doug on the Celtic bench. Rivers.

"They made a change of formation, but we should not change the attack according to our arrangement. Kendrick, your defensive task is undoubtedly heavier, but you can't despise the old shark too much. Be careful not to foul your defense easily..." Rivers made a final effort.

With a whistle, the starting lineups of both sides stepped on the floor and stood in their own positions waiting for the start of the game.

The Clippers lost only nine games in the regular season this season, and lost to the Celtics in the key game of 34 consecutive wins, which gave some confidence to the players of Rivers and the Celtics, especially the starting lineup of the Clippers in that game is exactly the same as today, although it is the regular season and this is the finals.

Tyson. Chandler and Kevin. Garnett stood in the middle circle with a whistle to Tyson. Chandler once again allocated the ball to Andre by a narrow margin. Miller.

Miller saw that there was no good fast attack opportunity and simply stopped his steady control of the ball and waited for all the players to fall into place.

"Or give it to Shaq?" Rivers couldn't help but play the game against the Clippers in the regular season. At the beginning, the Clippers gave the ball to O'Neal for consecutive singles scoring.

"Kendrick, hold on, hold on." Rivers shouted at Perkins on the field.

Perkins stood in a dead position, but his chest was painful under the impact of O'Neal.

At this moment, Lin Fei, who Pierce was staring at, shook his upper body to the right side of Pierce, and his lower body was thrown to the left side of Pierce. In an instant, a ballless run threw Pierce behind him.

After getting rid of Pierce, Lin Fei plugged straight into the insider Kevin. Garnett is preparing to defend against Tyson. Chandler blocked his body and could only watch Lin Fei cut in.

At this time, O'Neal held the ball and leaned against Perkins. When Perkins was waiting for O'Neal to shoot, he did not wait. When he was about to extend O'Neal's violation to the referee, there was a sound of wind behind him. He turned his head and saw that Lin Fei's hands flew to the ball to the basket.

"Bing!"

At the beginning of the game, the first attack basket was slammed by Lin Fei's excitement.

"Shark's biography is beautiful. You should rob Andre's job." Lin Fei said with a smile.

"Did you know today that I can pass the ball? This is the regret of your life. O'Neill said thoughtfully.

"Beautiful air relay, Shaq passed a good ball. Look at Kendrick's expression. He must be looking for where the ball has gone." Barkley didn't care about Perkins' feelings at all.

Although the Celtics came to the Wolf King Garnett, although the Gentleman's Sword Thunder came. Allen, although Rajanlando rose to become the fourth giant, they couldn't change Paul. Pierce's low position in this team, starting from the beauty of the new twins to the league, Paul. Pierce has been following this legendary team. He did not leave the team at any time but chose to stick to it. He longed for the feeling of victory. Looking at Lin Fei celebrating with O'Neill, Pierce greeted and quickly launched a counterattack.

Ron. Artest is the defense that Riverster intended to prepare for him.

Rivers hoped that Artest would resist Pierce's attack with his own body.

Pierce was not in a hurry to attack after receiving the ball and dribbled the ball steadily in front of Artest.

Artest's defensive ability did not make him lose his defensive position in the face of such a tease like Pierce, and looked at Pierce coldly as if he were watching a good play.

Perhaps because of the beginning, Pierce's sudden change of direction made Artest's defense fluctuate. At this time, Pierce keenly observed Artest's defense and took off and shot directly. Suddenly, Artest's defense could only do its best to interfere with Pierce's rhythm. In fact, Artest's defense Guarding has always been effective before the last shot of the attack. After all, it is almost impossible for Artest's bouncing arm to let him complete the frontal block.

Pierce threw the ball out firmly, with a signature back.

The basketball flew over Artest's fingers to the basket in the distance.

"SHOOting is his strength for Paul. Obviously, Ron didn't expect that Paul would handle the first goal so simply, which gave him a chance." Mark. Jackson analyzed.

"Yes, look, the ball easily drilled into the basket 2:2, and both sides successfully scored the first goal at the beginning, which will have an impact on the next attack of both sides." Jeff. Van Gundy gave his own opinion.

The Clippers' attack was once again in the hands of O'Neal. This time, the Celtics obviously guarded the other players closely, and Perkins had to bear the pressure to defend O'Neal alone.

At the moment when O'Neal hit the position and found the offensive space to shoot, Garnett seemed to return to the strongest era and quickly appeared on the defensive end. In the end, O'Neal's hook shot hit the iron under the interference.

Garnett directly protected the defensive rebound and immediately handed it over to Rajan. Rangdo.

"I can see that Kevin's performance is great, just like going back to 2004. His lateral mobility even makes me think that he is still 24 years old. Although it's just a defense, I can feel that Kevin is in good state today. What about Ray?" Kenny. Smith raised his own question, and soon Ray Allen gave his own answer.

"[***]." Lin Fei cursed in a low voice, and he had bypassed Pierce to Ray. Allen's cover caught up. Who knew that Garnett, who was raised to a high position again, was blocked and looked at Lei. Allen catches the ball and throws it.

"I was just talking about Ray. Allen's state, now he tells me with practical actions that he is equally good. In that game of the season, the Celtics relied on the Big Three to win. Is this a good omen now? Kenny. Smith said with a smile.
