Chapter 253 Finals Begin

On June 6, Beijing time, the much-anticipated NBA Finals finally kicked off.

The two teams have historically been rivals. They have played against each other in the finals 10 times before, and they are the two teams with the most face-to-face in the NBA Finals.The Celtics suppressed the Lakers 8:2, but the Lakers won the last two games.

This is the first time the two teams have met in the finals since 1987, and it is also the first time the Celtics have returned to the finals in 21 years.

In this year's playoffs, the Celtics have not failed once at home. In this game, they are still doing well at their home court.

Under the Celtics' outside defense, Kobe's performance in the first quarter was mediocre, and he only made 8 of 2 shots. However, Fisher played Rondo with his experience and scored seven points in the first quarter to help the team. In the case of a score, reduce the point difference to three points.

Vujacic then hit a three-pointer to tie the score.

However, PJ Brown, who replaced Perkins who committed two offenses, scored the last goal of this quarter to help the Celtics maintain their lead.

Kobe still couldn't find a chance to score in the second quarter, when his defender became Shi Lei.

For every top scorer in the league, Shi Lei has focused on research, although he is not as handy against Kobe as he is against James, he still caused a lot of trouble for the opponent.

It may be possible to become No.1 in the current league. Kobe relies on his style of play, which is not entirely gorgeous. When personal scoring becomes difficult, he focuses on assists.

Relying on the defense influenced by his personal scoring ability, Kobe assisted his teammates to score many times, and the Lakers gradually surpassed the score.

With 5 minutes and 03 seconds left in this section, Kobe had a chance to take a shot, but he chose to hand the ball to Gasol under the basket, who scored a dunk. Fisher then made two free throws, and the Lakers took a 41:40 lead .

Kobe's assist activated the "sister-in-law" who had been mediocre before. He dunked twice in 2 minutes, and then got a free throw opportunity. The Lakers ended the first half with a 51:46 lead.

At the beginning of the third quarter, after Garnett made a shot, Pierce stole Fisher, who performed exceptionally well in this game, successfully "hit four points" and successfully overtook the point difference.

However, the turning point of the game is not here, which appeared after Pierce "pumped the street".

With Shi Lei off the court, Kobe's defender became Pierce.Not long after the start of the third quarter, Kobe, who had never had a chance to perform, made a surprise layup and helped the Lakers lead 62-58. When Pierce was struggling to defend Kobe, he was unfortunately stepped on by his teammate Perkins who rushed up from behind. foot.
When Pierce was lying on the floor, he was holding his right knee in pain. The first thing he did when he left the court was not to care about his injury, but to complete the "handover" ceremony with Shi Lei.

He raised his hand reluctantly, and hit Shi Lei's hand who was about to play. Although he didn't say a word because of the pain, it was worth a thousand words.His distorted face and fiery eyes have already expressed everything he wants to tell.

Shi Lei also didn't speak, he nodded and threw his coat on the floor.

After playing, Shi Lei raided the Lakers basket and scored two points.Now his ball control has become more and more proficient, and his changes have become more versatile. This breakthrough was made by him shaking Kobe away by changing hands under his crotch.

Shi Lei's scoring this time slightly stabilized the situation on the court, and also made Rivers' expression no longer so "melancholy"!
The stable performance over the past year has made Shi Lei a force that can stabilize people's hearts, but he is not enough to replace Pierce in the hearts of the fans. His dunk did not get much cheers from the fans, even though the DJ in the stadium was already in the crowd. Called hard.

Pierce's end gave the Lakers hope of victory. Kobe took over the ball at this time, trying to break the Celtics' wavering morale with scoring.

Once Kobe made up his mind to score and defend completely, it was really difficult. Shi Lei had raised his maximum defensive strength, but he still couldn't stop Kobe's large fadeaway jumper.

Shi Lei is not Pierce, but he has to "replace" Pierce now. It is not a good thing for the Celtics to let people here miss Pierce too much.

After halftime, Shi Lei stretched out his hand to pass the basketball.

Pierce is the main star here, and the role of a star is to score. Regarding his shooting, although it is much better now, Shi Lei still doesn't have much confidence, and the situation does not allow him to miss, so he chose the most breakthrough.

Perhaps it was due to fate, after matching Odom until now, Shi Lei had expected the greatest shooting ability from this template, and Shi Lei hadn't really used it once until now!
The basketball was flapping coherently between Shi Lei's hands, and under his signal, the players opened up space for him to play singles.

Shi Lei stared firmly at the basket. Kobe was no stranger to this kind of gaze, and he would often look at the other side's gaze like this when the team was in trouble.So even though the other Celtics players were constantly running around, Kobe remained unmoved and only focused on Shi Lei. Even if Ray Allen ran past him, he couldn't distract him. That's a little scary.

Kobe's defense was very tight, but Shi Lei still raised his speed.

"Papa papa", the basketball violently undulated between Shi Lei's hands and the floor, the moment it approached Kobe, Shi Lei suddenly turned his body away from him.

Kobe stabilized his heels, Shi Lei suddenly reversed his body, and wiped away from the other end of Kobe's body.

The great knee joint didn't make Kobe completely lose his position. When he moved sideways, what he saw was Shi Lei turning again.

Turning back - turning against the trend - retreating and changing direction, after this series of quick movements, Kobe's defense finally couldn't keep up with Shi Lei's pace, allowing Shi Lei to cut into the past all of a sudden.

Odom came to help.
Neither strength nor speed, Shi Lei leaned sideways and pushed Odom aside.

Gasol cleverly blocked Garnett, Shi Lei held the ball and took off, and Bynum, the only remaining Lakers basket, quickly jumped up to block.

There is nothing more inspiring than a gorgeous and violent dunk. Shi Lei held the ball with both hands and smashed it hard at the basket behind Bynum.

The fans suddenly cheered
Pierce is back!

At the same time, Shi Lei successfully dunked Bynum!
