Chapter 256 The Transformed Lakers

"Don't underestimate the heart of a champion!"

This is not just a slogan, but a motto!

Up to today, in the finals, breaking out from the strong enemies, no one is willing to fail.

In the third game where there is no room for loss, the Lakers began to really rise up. They lost their "aristocratic" arrogance and devoted themselves wholeheartedly to an important game related to life and death.

The Lakers who put down their figure are terrifying. They have such potential. When they are willing to realize this potential, they are undoubtedly a talented team.

After the opening game, the Lakers' aggressiveness was significantly strengthened, and Kobe and others continued to break through to the basket.

Although Bryant missed two dunks, they took advantage of free throws and started 9:2.

That's not all they've changed. Offensively, the change wasn't unexpected. They have the ability to do that. But defensively, they surprised everyone.

After hitting the first field goal, the Celtics were scoreless for nearly five minutes after the Lakers finally got their defense up to Finals level.

This is a fact, but not all. Despite this, the Celtics still tied the point difference to 20:20 after the first quarter, relying on tenacity.

首节湖人18投仅5中，不过罚球上他们以14：2占优势，科比本节就得了11分。

The Lakers are suitable for playing with the wind. Kobe scored 11 points in a single quarter, which made the atmosphere here extremely warm. After the main players rested in the second quarter, the substitutes followed suit. Vujacic and Farmar hit three-pointers one after another.

The Celtics' substitutes couldn't find their form at all. Posey and Cassell missed consecutive shots, allowing the Lakers to play a wave of 1:6 in a short 0 minute. At the critical moment, Shi Lei stole Farmar's Passing the ball, the fast-break dunk was successful, and Rivers, who was about to call a timeout, sat down in the chair again.

But with Shi Lei alone, he can only achieve this kind of state. The Lakers players feel hot. Help the team gain a leading edge.

When more than half of the second quarter passed, the main players of both sides re-entered the field, and the Celtics were still two points behind the Lakers.

After playing, Gasol received an assist from Odom and hit a goal, widening the point difference to four points.

Then Garnett missed a layup, and Kobe made a fast break and continued to expand his lead.

The Celtics still couldn't find the feeling on the offensive end. With 4 minutes and 01 seconds left in this section, the Lakers took an 40-point advantage with 29:11 after Kobe made a shot.

Ray Allen made a three-pointer before the end of this section, and the Celtics chased the score to 37:43.

However, in the third quarter, the Celtics had a chance to reverse.

Not long after the start of the third quarter, Rondo was injured and House replaced the sluggish Cassel. He and Ray Allen hit a three-pointer.

Since then, the Celtics, who were inspired to fight, made persistent efforts and took a 4:45 lead with 54 minutes and 50 seconds left in this section.

With 2 minutes left in this section, Ray Allen fouled Kobe from outside the three-point line and made all three free throws. The Celtics led by 61 points with 56:5.

Ray Allen scored 10 points in this quarter, and the Celtics led 62-60 after three quarters.

Under the tight defense, the shooting percentage of the two teams was very low, but after the fourth quarter, the offense of the two teams opened up instead. First, Vujacic hit a three-pointer, and Ray Allen immediately countered with a three-pointer. Points, the Celtics maintain the lead.

Pierce, who made a big hit in two games, was in a sluggish state today. He only made 10 of his first 1 shots. With 8 minutes and 56 seconds left in the fourth quarter, he committed an offensive foul and made 5 personal fouls. He only got a sideline rest and Shi Lei came off the bench.

If you want to defend a superstar like Kobe, you have to make a choice. Kobe's hand feeling is too bad today, so Shi Lei focused on his outside shots, but he seized the opportunity and broke into the inside line one after another to make layups. , And caused Perkins' defensive foul.

After this foul, Perkins committed four personal fouls, Shi Lei had no choice but to adjust his defensive strategy.

In fact, it is very good to strictly prevent Kobe's shooting and force him to break through. Shi Lei is confident that under his own defensive strength, Kobe's physical strength will be reduced to the critical point of his body, but now, Shi Lei can only choose to protect his inside line first.

Some people can only let him defend himself, but Perkins is too easy to fall into a foul trap!
After Shi Lei adjusted his defensive strategy, Kobe gave him a head-on blow and hit a three-pointer from outside. With 6 minutes and 55 seconds left in the game, he completed the overtake of the Celtics.

Of the "Big Three" of the Celtics, only Ray Allen played well. Pierce went off to rest when he was out of form. There was also Garnett who was out of form on the court. At a critical juncture, he received a pass from Shi Lei and missed his shot. out.

Gasol got the rebound. This is an insider with a strong scoring support ability. He directly distributed the rebound to Kobe. Shi Lei could only use fouls to prevent Kobe from going off quickly.

After the Lakers made a free throw in Kobe, Fisher caused a defensive foul by House.

科比和费舍尔各罚中两球，湖人连得7分，在比赛还有6分05秒时以73：68领先凯尔特人五分。

Since then, Shi Lei has strengthened his personal breakthrough, but the biggest threat to his breakthrough is his damage to the opponent's defense and the pass that attracts the defense.But today the only normal Ray Allen was closely monitored by Kobe. Shi Lei tried to pass the ball to no avail. After two consecutive dunks, he still couldn't restore the team's decline.

Shi Lei, who lacks scoring explosiveness, is not enough to kill his opponent with his own scoring.

However, Shi Lei's consecutive breakthroughs still allowed the Celtics to maintain their hope of victory.

With 2 minutes and 41 seconds left in the game, after Garnett made a shot, the Celtics chased the score to 79:81.

After that, the Celtics had a chance to tie the score, but after Garnett missed a layup, Vujacic hit a three-pointer and re-extended the point difference to five points.

House finally ran out of position with 1 minute left in the game and hit a three-pointer after receiving a pass from Shi Lei. The Celtics trailed by 82 points 86:[-] and still had a chance.
