Double stars shine in Los Angeles

Chapter 202 The First Match of the Finals Asking for Recommendation

After the Eastern Conference finals, the Boston Celtics also got five days of rest, one day more than the league's previous arrangement, which is also for the physical fitness of the two teams to achieve a balance as much as possible.Not only did the Los Angeles Lakers take one more week of rest than the Boston Celtics, but the Los Angeles Lakers also played fewer games than the Boston Celtics in the playoffs thanks to sweeping opponents to advance. a lot.

The distribution of home and away games in the finals is different from the previous ones.The home and away arrangement for the playoffs before the finals is "two, two, one, one, one", and the home and away arrangement for the finals is "two, three, two". The top ranked players in the regular season have home court advantage.The first two games and the last two games of the finals are at the home of the Los Angeles Lakers, and the middle three games are at the home of the Boston Celtics.

Although the Boston Celtics successfully eliminated the New York Knicks in the tiebreaker of the Eastern Conference finals and entered the finals again, but no one except the local fans and media in Boston is optimistic that they can compete with the Los Angeles Lakers in the finals win in.

The regular starting lineups of the two sides in the playoffs are as follows: Boston Celtics, Brandon Bass, Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Jason Terry, Rajon Rondo; Los Angeles Lakers, Li Yifeng, Pau Gasol, Lin Fengzhe, Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash.

In the center position of the fifth position, Brandon Bass and Li Yifeng are at a disadvantage in height, and as a blue-collar coolie, Brandon Bass' offensive ability is not good, while Li Yifeng's offensive ability is Undoubtedly, what can be expected is that Brandon Bass can create some troubles for Li Yifeng's offense through his own defense.

In the forward position at the fourth position, Kevin Garnett has a tougher playing style than Pau Gasol. Vin Garnett can suppress Pau Gasol.For Pau Gasol, the only advantage at present is that he has more physical reserves than Kevin Garnett.

In the small forward position at the third position, the comparison between Paul Pierce and Lin Fengzhe is at a disadvantage.Lin Fengzhe, who is just in his early twenties, can face powerful small forwards like LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony who are in their prime.And Paul Pierce is no longer the person who can take LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony hard. The increase in age and the decline in status put him at a disadvantage in the matchup with Lin Fengzhe.

In the position of shooting guard at the second position, Jason Terry, as the best sixth man ever, will inevitably decline in his personal data as he gets older. Not everyone can offer Kobe Bryant Like Michael Jordan, he can maintain his competitive state at a stable level.

In the point guard position at the No. [-] position, Rajon Rondo has a very obvious physical advantage over Steve Nash, and with the gradual maturity in recent years, Steve Nash does not need to pass the ball. How much weaker is Jeff Nash.But the tragedy of Steve Nash is that the defense is too poor. Almost every team will use Steve Nash as a weakness of the best attack when they face the Los Angeles Lakers.

From the comparison of online lineups, the Los Angeles Lakers have an absolute advantage in all three positions. Although the Los Angeles Lakers also have disadvantages, the other three positions can play normally, and they are enough for the Boston Celtics. I have a headache.

As for the comparison of the bench lineups of the two teams, the Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers are at least one level behind. I didn’t see that the Big Three of the Houston Rockets are now the core of the Los Angeles Lakers’ second team. player?Moreover, Josh McRoberts, who has progressed by leaps and bounds this season, is also different from Luis Scola of the Rockets back then.On the team's second team, the Los Angeles Lakers are the envy of all teams in the league.

It can be said that the Boston Celtics' entry into the finals this season is their last glory in recent seasons, and it is not too much to say that they are looking back.As the absolute main force of the team, Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Jason Terry are inevitable to decline as they grow older. Although the team has been digging new players, the effect is not very good , and the personal offensive ability of Rajon Rondo, who is regarded by the management as the core of the team's future, is really disappointing.Leakage is an urgent problem for the Boston Celtics.

On the other hand, looking at the Los Angeles Lakers, the team's future lineup has already taken shape. Li Yifeng, Lin Fengzhe, Josh McRoberts, Darius Morris and others can at least make the team in the next eight or nine years. There is enough competitiveness to guarantee his position as a strong team in the West.

The Finals kicked off on June [-] at the Staples Center, home of the Los Angeles Lakers.

Before the game, in the locker room of the Los Angeles Lakers, Mike Brown was making the final arrangements for the team, "Paul, don't confront Garnett head-on, take him on the court as much as possible, don't worry about physical problems, physical The reduction in confrontation can also guarantee your hit rate, understand?"

Mike Brown's arrangement integrates Pau Gasol's mind. He is not a player who likes to actively seek physical confrontation. He is better at playing with his brain. "No problem, I can still do this."

After getting the answer from Pau Gasol, Mike Brown turned his attention to Steve Nash, "Steve, when defending Rondo, mainly defend his breakthrough. Lin Fengzhe and Bryant will help you when necessary." Help defense. Rajon Rondo's shooting percentage has improved a lot this season, but as long as he gets more physical, his shot will miss."

Steve Nash nodded, "I know, I can still do it just by interfering with his shooting." Steve Nash naturally understood his own weaknesses, and Steve Nash didn't think about his own weaknesses. What will happen to his physical strength? Even if he takes a rest, Lin Fengzhe can still play as a point forward on the court.

Before playing, Kobe Bryant, the boss of the team, stood in the middle and said, "Guys, now we are only one step away from the championship. What we have to do is to kill this last opponent. As long as we succeed in winning the championship, we will Overtake the Boston Celtics to become the league's most championship-winning team. Let us, as participants, do it all with our own hands!"

After finishing speaking, Kobe Bryant raised his right hand and stretched it out, shouting "champion!" locker room.

Today's game, Vanessa Bryant, Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, and Ye Li all came to the scene to watch the game.It was the first time for Ye Li to watch the game live in the playoffs. Ye Li also understood how important this was to Yao Ming. brought their own children.

After all, they are a Chinese couple. Although Ye Li has lived in the United States for some time, she still has an oriental reservedness. She just kissed Yao Ming on the face to show her husband's encouragement.As for the treatment that Kobe Bryant, Li Yifeng and Lin Fengzhe got as lovers, it was hot kisses.

The girlfriends and wives of other players of the Los Angeles Lakers also came to watch the game. A kind of beauties sitting together are very eye-catching, and the broadcast camera scans from their positions from time to time.

Perhaps it was because of the presence of his lover to cheer and cheer. During the warm-up before the game, the shots of the Los Angeles Lakers players were terrifying. Even Yao Ming made two three-pointers from the three-point line.Yao Ming is still very excited. This is the first time he has entered the finals. He already has an Olympic medal. He has fulfilled one of his wishes. The other wish is the NBA championship, and now he is about to fulfill it. Yao Ming's interest was very high.

The ratings of this year's finals once again set a league record.First of all, the gimmick of the Celtics and the Zijin Army, the two teams that have won the most championships, once again attracted the attention of many fans.Secondly, it is the last madness of the Boston Celtics. Whether they can create a miracle and overthrow the Los Angeles Lakers to win the championship is also one of the highlights.Finally, Yao Ming, once the leader of Chinese basketball, stood on the stage of the finals for the first time. Although he only played as a substitute player, he still attracted a large number of "older generation" basketball fans in China and Asia to pay attention to this series. .

David Stern, who was sitting in the office, was so happy that his face turned into a chrysanthemum. The ratings were so high before the game officially started. If the game reaches a critical moment, the ratings will definitely increase!How could David Stern be unhappy? For him, an increase in the ratings means an increase in the league's attention, and an increase in the ratings can also require an increase in advertising prices to increase the league's revenue.

This time, not only ESPN sent Jeff Van Gundy, Mike Brin, and Mark Jackson to the scene for live broadcast, but even TNT also sent its own live broadcast team. Of course, TNT's commentary is indispensable for the old partners of Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith, as well as Reggie Miller and "Big Shark" Shaquille O'Neal.
