Chapter 376 The North Shore Garden, never fall!
In the studio of CBS, the final review of the game is underway.
Will Marcus took the lead: "Honestly, the Lakers played great tonight, but they still lost the game, as I said before, they couldn't deal with Lin Long, but they were dealt with by Lin Long. Pong and Kobe. Lin Long's defense against Kobe in the last few rounds successfully killed the game! 35
"To be honest, we can no longer expect O'Neal and Malone to perform better. Do we really want them to get 80 points and 40 rebounds? They have played to the extreme, but the Lakers still lost the game. This round of series In the game, the Celtics will play more and more smoothly, and finally successfully defend their title!"
Kenny disagreed and said: "The three generals of the Lakers really played to the extreme, their offensive firepower was completely released, but the Celtics only won one goal, right? If Kobe's reaction was quicker, he succeeded in putting What if the ball came out? What if Malone's screen came earlier and didn't allow Lin Long to successfully steal? Even, if the Lakers hadn't been in a daze, and hadn't been driven by Aaron for 15 seconds, would the game have been different? ?"
"There is still a lot of suspense in this series. This is only the first game. This 'Five Three Seven' is a night where Scottie Pippen and all the role players of the Lakers are out of order. This kind of game will be there, but it will not be Shows up every day! Plus, and more importantly, this is the home of the Celtics, and back in Los Angeles and the Atlantic Forum, everything would be different! The role players would come back to life, and the Celtics, You will be booed by the metropolis! 35
Smith quietly kicked his old partner Will Marcus under the table, preventing him from continuing to raise the bar.
He knows this partner too well, and if he looks for something, he will definitely go to the end.
It is because of this character that Will Marcus was fired by CBS and went to the local station to hang out. Smith didn't want his old partner to quarrel with people on the live show again. He also fantasized about bringing this old partner back. Back on CBS, he thought Will Marcus' talent shouldn't be buried in places like Boston.
Will Marcus looked at Smith, and finally gave face to his old friend and did not continue to speak. Brand, with high emotional intelligence, saw that something was wrong, so he immediately interjected: "To be honest, I would like to discuss the last one of Lin Long. The arrangement of the round, if it is true as Aaron said, intentional fouls, psychological tactics, and the final fatal run are all Lin Long's plans, then I think that even the position of the player is not enough for him to play.
"It's been said that it's hard to be a top coach when a superstar retires, but now, the Celtics have a successful coach and someone who I think will be a top coach! Maybe I can't be teammates with Lin Long, but I think ,If there is a chance I would like to be coached by Lin Long.
"It's simple, I heard they will have a show at Creation Camp this summer, Elton, you can go to it!"
Smith answered the call immediately and took the topic in a light direction, and the tension in the live broadcast room finally stopped.
At the post-match press conference, Lin Long didn't answer too many questions, he just smiled and said to the media: "Remember two things, 15 games! And, North Shore Gardens, never fall! We will Make the game 2:0 before heading to Los Angeles!
Lin Long's confidence caused all the Boston fans who were still watching the live broadcast to cheer!
Even the entire sky above Boston, there was a uniform roar at this time.
"Boston, never fall!"
"North Shore Gardens, Never Fall!"
Lin Long's words caused huge dissatisfaction with the Lakers. They were gearing up to show the Celtics a good look in the second game. After all...they only lost one point in the first game.
Kobe Bryant went to ask for the video of the game immediately after the game.
Start watching yourself miss Lin Long in the last two rounds, and start thinking and simulating what to do next time you encounter this situation.
Even O'Neal made free throws after the game for the first time, and Malone was by O'Neal's side, constantly instructing O'Neal and telling him what details he needed to pay attention to. Become a free throw master like Malone in two or three days, but at least it can make O'Neal's mentality more stable when he makes a free throw.
Pippen has also returned to the team station. The doctor told Pippen and the Lakers that there is no problem with Pippen's ankle. As for his chin, he doesn't even need a bandage and a Band-Aid can solve the problem perfectly.
Phil Jackson knocked on Pippen's door as soon as he knew that Pippen was back.
As the league's number one psychologist, Jackson certainly knew that Pippen had a psychological problem.
He is going to give this old disciple a bowl of fresh and rich chicken soup, so that he can regain his confidence in the next game.
It can be seen from the performance of everyone on the Lakers, they are united, they are not slack, they are determined to take a win from Boston!
Two days later, the Lakers did exactly that!
They are still the main interior twin towers of O'Neal and Malone.
At the beginning of the game, Rashid and Oben were overwhelmed with continuous attacks and non-stop points.
After the inside line was completely opened, Bryant also began to show his power, and kept hitting shots on Sprewell's head. Even Pippen finally blossomed and hit the first sports goal of the finals.
On the other hand, the Celtics seemed to have a hard time dealing with the sudden intensity of the Lakers. O'Neal and Malone complained repeatedly on the inside. In desperation, Lin Long could only switch to the inside. But at this time, the Lakers' outside broke out again. Fortunately, The Celtics' own offense didn't drop, and although they fell behind, they weren't pulled away too much.
The situation didn't start to change until the third quarter. After the Lakers' role players were ready for halftime, their fiery touch finally declined a little bit. Bird decisively sent Aaron at this time to let him. He, Lin Long and Sprewell once again formed the team's fast-break three Musketeers.
Big Ben and Lin Long controlled the rebounds, Aaron instigated counterattacks, Sprewell and Lin Long were in charge of finishing, and the Lakers were chasing after and unsteady.
After the Celtics' offensive-defense transition was revived in the third quarter, the 12-point difference in the first half immediately seemed insignificant. In this quarter, the Lakers were beaten 33:21 by the Celtics and lost a full With 11 points, he was even overtaken by the Celtics at one point, and only relied on O'Neal's dunk at the end of the third quarter to hold a 2-point lead...
In the last quarter, the two sides officially launched the ultimate showdown. At this time, the main lineup did not have time to rest. Both sides clenched their teeth and tried to shake off the opponent, but they were powerless.
In this section, both sides are shooting at full speed, and all players can contribute.
3-pointers, fast-break dunks, strong inside shots, violent blood, and passing the ball without looking at people. All the pictures of the game that the fans can imagine appeared in this section, and the fans who watched it were hooked and cheered.
Even the commentators couldn't help but sigh.
They have never seen such a gorgeous and exciting, yet evenly matched and confrontational game!
The level of these two teams is indeed one level ahead of other teams!
Until the last minute of the game, the score between the two sides was still tied, and for 2 minutes, neither side was able to score!
At this time, the competition is no longer about technical and tactical abilities, but who is more ruthless, who can crush steel teeth to hold it up, who has stronger willpower, who can break the deadlock first, and who can control the game!
At this time, it naturally becomes a duel between the bosses of the two teams!
O'Neal was in the position in the interior, and he wanted to use his own strength to fight against Lin Long with his back, but Lin Long also clenched his teeth and stood up to O'Neal, not letting O'Neal take any advantage in the power showdown! Seeing that the strong attack was not enough, O'Neal immediately turned around quickly, and instead turned sideways to withstand Lin Long, raising his hand is a signature sideways hook!
Lin Long guessed what O'Neal was going to do when he saw O'Neal turn around and jumped high.
Directing at the flying basketball is a heavy slap, directly fanning the basketball beyond the 3-point line!
3.3 Billups kept the basketball. Seeing that Kobe and others have quickly returned to defense, Billups did not choose to attack, but dribbled the ball slowly, waiting for all his teammates to settle down.
In the end, basketball naturally came to Lin Long again. In the face of Pippen who was in much better shape than the previous game, Lin Long didn't show any politeness. Make a layup!
The Celtics finally overtook the score again in the last 20 seconds!
After that, the Lakers didn't dare to hit O'Neal again in their last attack, for fear that Big Ben would commit a direct foul.
The lore opportunity finally came to Malone. He got a shot in the middle distance, which is his best point and the ace shooting area that he relies on to score.
Without any hesitation, Ma Long rose from the ground and made a mid-range shot!
"Boom!"
It's a pity that the basketball god once again abandoned the Lakers and responded to the expectations of the Lakers with a strike of iron!
In this game, the Lakers also lost the game by 2 points again!
Lin Long fulfilled his promise once again, guarding the North Shore Garden Arena!
