You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 546 He is the key to this campaign (1460)

The Celtics never seem to give up trust in someone just because they feel cold.

Wei Xia's trash talk provoked Garnett's emotions.

Emotional is one of the most distinctive labels of Garnett on the court. He shines because of this, but he often falls into the bottomless abyss. Excessive emotionality will hurt his team when he does not perform well.

Three minutes before the end of the first quarter, the Celtics gave him the ball again.

In a quarter where the score was extremely low, it would take a lot of risk to continue to trust a player with inefficient offensive performance.

The Celtics players felt calm, watching Garnett make an emergency stop with one step, the classic KG-style high jumper.

"Shh!"

12 is better than 11
After that goal, there were less than 3 minutes before the end of the first quarter. The two sides bit tightly, and it was impossible to see who could break the current situation.

The tense and suffocating tiebreaker, just the beginning, made the audience empathize.

The fans at the scene will stop breathing at specific moments with every play and defense, forcing themselves to open their eyes, because they may miss key details in the blink of an eye.

In the first quarter of mutual non-concession, the two sides turned the game into a tragic fight.

No one can find the center of gravity in a game of this intensity. Even if one goal is scored, the next goal will be lost.

Garnett found the touch by chance, and Kobe was out for the entire quarter.

The only goal he made was the 2+1 shot when the anger was provoked by Pierce at its peak.

After a full 12 minutes of fierce fighting, it was 16 to 14.

The Celtics lead by 2 points, obviously in the era of zone defense, obviously in the era of defensive three seconds, obviously in the era of NO HC, but the Lakers and Kai have the ability to drag the game into the primitive battle.

Barbarism is probably the audience's only perception from the first quarter.

In the second quarter, the Lakers replaced Pau Gasol with Ryan Hollins.Hollins was loved by Boston fans for knocking a close-in rebound out of bounds before Wesha's game-winning steal in Game 6.

They believe that Hollins is the "lucky star" of the Celtics.

The Celtics' rotation is much more unrestrained than the Lakers'.

They replaced Perkins and Garnett and Rondo for Posey, PJ Brown and Eddie House.

There are more people available than the Lakers, which is also one of the Celtics' advantages.

It was this group of people who, with all their strength, forced the Lakers to let Kobe play hero ball.

The hero ball in the finals was not so easy to play. Kobe, who was completely in the dark side, missed that ball.

He's gone 9-for-1 from the field, his worst Finals performance to date.

Ray Allen, with his hands on his knees, seemed unable to run.

If you get confused by his movements, something is bound to go wrong.

Wei Xia expected that his weak posture was just a faux pas, but he didn't expect the Celtics to suddenly activate him.

Brown's screens have been perfected, and he knows how to create opportunities for star shooters.

Wei Xia was thrown away by Allen. Although Kobe switched defenses and gave some interference, Jun Zilei's forward three-pointer was too fast, and the ball went out in the blink of an eye.

"Shh!"

19 is better than 14
The Celtics seem to use this ball to officially declare that the offensive situation has changed.

The difficult situation lasted for 12 seconds. What Ray Allen can do, Wei Xia can also do.

The Celtics deliberately let the faster Eddie House chase Wei Xia in order to consume his energy. They thought that Wei Xia was after an open space.

If the guy guarding him is a big enough wing, chasing the open is the right thing to do, but House?
Facing an opponent of this size, if there is still an empty seat, it is as unnecessary as a person who wants to inherit the family knowing that the appearance of the object will affect the desire but insists on turning on the light.

In 12 seconds, Wei Xia ran out of the open space. He received the ball outside the three-point line at the top of the arc, turned around and faced House with a confident shot.

"Shh!"

Give it back!

17 is better than 19
"Everyone, offense is a very mysterious thing, but we can at least control the defensive end!" Wei Xia shouted.

Kobe looked at Wei Xia, who once again did what he was supposed to do.

For morale, he'd seen sharks do it, and he'd seen others do it, but he never did it.

He believes that as long as he can play an invincible offensive posture, he can inspire his teammates.

What he faces now is a real problem, what if he can't play invincible in the finals?

Kobe bit his lip hard, no, that's not him.

The murderous look on his face became more and more serious, as if to follow what Wei Xia said, starting from the defensive end first, the first person to be strangled to death by him was Pierce who was full of stupid words.

They fought fiercely, and Pierce had raised his arms horizontally to his neck in order to get a position. To let his teammates pass the ball with confidence, he had to bring down Kobe.

Kobe, as if he didn't know the depth, desperately used his neck to touch Pierce's arm, and finally made the opponent exert strength, pushed his arm to Kobe's neck, an extremely dangerous movement, made Kobe lie down, and got the referee's whistle.

Kobe gently stroked his neck and coughed a few times, as if he wanted to cough up the phlegm inside.

But there was no phlegm in it, and it took him a few seconds to relieve the pain. The price of getting the ball was so high, Kobe looked at the ball he had desperately exchanged for, and said to Wesha: "I will go to my position and give me the ball!"

Now that Kobe said that, Wei Xia has no choice.

Passing seems to be the only option.

Kobe faced Pierce again, and the matchup between the two was full of trash talk and physical contact. The referee was very lenient to this pair. If Pierce's action was not too dangerous just now, Kobe probably wouldn't get the whistle.

The trash talk kept going, and suddenly, Kobe collected the ball and stretched out, throwing a ball tyrannically.

Pierce didn't lose his position at all, he just couldn't mobilize his whole body to jump to the highest point at any time like Kobe, so he just stood on the ground and poked Kobe's belly.

Then watch how that ball falls into the basket.

19 is better than 19
Pierce wanted to come to cover, but he didn't get the ball. Kobe gave up chasing and defending, and Wei Xia took over the task.

His defense is tougher than Kobe's.

When Wei Xia was first selected for the first defense, there were a lot of doubts. After the finals started, no one questioned his defense.

Even, he is already recognized as a better defender than Kobe.

Because Kobe can't do nothing for defense like him. Kobe doesn't have that persistence and persistence, nor can he have that persistence and persistence. What the Lakers need him to do is not just defense.As the league encourages offense more and more, it is difficult for outstanding defenders to be useful under the harsh whistle. Only when the Hukai battle is bloody, can the defensive masters prove their worth.

Five minutes later, Garnett, Perkins and Rondo all sat on the sidelines watching as the Celtics' offense piled up to the basket and the ball was given to Posey.

A good pass and a chance to come up at once.

Posey was holding the ball and was about to attack. As soon as his ball went out, Wei Xia behind him put on a cap and slapped him out of bounds.

No one can score easily!
Five minutes later, 5 to 25, the Celtics only lead by 24 point, and now they have to switch back to the main force.

The Lakers were unmoved, not only did not return Gasol, but also called on Magloire's partner Hollins.

The restricted area turned into an arena, and Garnett and Perkins were obviously stronger than Magloire and Hollins, taking turns to grab offensive rebounds and succeed in the second attack.

The point difference was pulled to 5 points, 31 to 26.

Jackson's decision to replace Magloire and Hollins seemed to be a failure, but the Lakers showed no signs of discouragement, and they ran with Wecha paranoidly for 22 seconds.

With only 2 seconds left, the Celtics' iron wall was chiseled with a thin crack.

Wei Xia took the ball and shot it, regardless of the flood around him, his extremely confident shot got a hollow pocket that his opponent couldn't ignore.

29 is better than 31
"It's him again!" yelled Eddie House. "It's crazy, the bastard!"

The old enemy of the Lakers can't remember how many times Wei Xia has stepped forward at this time.

He is the most relaxed one in the game, the one who is the most calm in the confrontation of swords and flames, but he is also one of the youngest players on the field.

He deserved to be dazed at this intensity.

But what did he bring?
He "stole" Game6 from the Celtics.

From the beginning of Game7, he helped the Lakers to bite the score in the best condition.

He is not as talkative as Pierce, not as extroverted as Garnett, but has a noble, tough and persistent personality that drives his teammates.

"One-sided negative public opinion is like a beast. Wish can face them alone, and can withstand all pressures calmly." Wei Xia's performance was not as expected by the Zen master, "He must be the key to this battle!"

Wei Xia became crazy, Wei Xia became like a monster who didn't know how to stop.

The Lakers' first overtake came from him.

"It's Wish!"

"He singled out KG with the ball in the high position!"

"He wants to rule KG!"

Heinsohn's scream made everyone's attention fall on Wei Xia.

His offense is nothing new, just speed, absolute speed, surpassing Garnett's speed.

He overtook Garnett in a straight line, who was known for chasing guards. When Perkins flew out from the side and made a shocking foul on him, he threw the ball with one hand and aimed at the basket. Then, he closed his eyes and let his body land on the ground. He was ready!

This is what he has always done!

This is what he has been chasing all along!

The moment he landed, the thrown ball hit the board!
"The goal counts."

Wei Xia's eyes trembled, and everyone saw his body fall heavily to the ground, and the impact on his left knee was particularly severe.

He immediately raised his upper body, and the four teammates on the field had already stood in front of him and helped him up at the same time.

"Wish, have you always been this brave?" Hollins asked.

Wei Xia smiled, unfortunately, he couldn't answer.

He couldn't nod and admit that it wasn't true, he wasn't brave, he was just mentally prepared for what happened to him.

No one is born brave, but there are definitely people like Wei Xia who, at a certain moment, after making up their minds, become brave and fearless, forgetting the feeling of fear.

He gets to the free throw line and the referee passes the ball over.

He patted the ball as usual, joined the ball, and squatted down. Just as he was about to stand up and shoot, the soreness from his left foot caused his ball to deviate from the guidance of the center of his finger. Unexpectedly, he threw a three-point shot!

At that moment, the feeling he had forgotten - fear!
It came suddenly!
