I'm really not a brush in basketball

Chapter 235. 234. Finals G1 kicks off

After defeating the Nuggets, the Los Angeles Lakers did not return to Los Angeles, but flew directly from Denver to Chicago.

Although they are competitors in the finals, Chen Long and Kobe still maintain private contact, so Chen Long sent Kobe a text message, "Come on. I have been waiting for a long time."

Seeing Chen Long's text message, Kobe replied, "Enjoy now, you don't have much time to enjoy."

Kobe is eager for the fourth championship, and Chen Long wants to make his rookie season perfect, so the finals between these two people is bound to be a battle between dragons and tigers.

Standing behind Chen Long, O'Neal had long wanted to see Kobe's expression after losing, although he himself was no longer the core of the team, but a role player with a basic salary.

But O'Neal believes that he can help Chen Long and the Bulls stop Kobe and the Lakers.

By the time the Lakers arrived in Chicago, the city was full of NBA elements.

Kobe thought of the 90s, any young man from that era would have the Bulls' dynasty plot, but he wanted to prevent the Bulls from creating another dynasty with his own hands.

After a few days of rest, the United Center Arena staged the finals again after a lapse of ten years!
The sidelines were full of Bulls legends. Pippen, Rodman, Harper and others sat on the sidelines. Jordan had reserved a front row seat, but he did not show up in G1.

Chen Long just patted his chest to salute them.

Kobe hugged and greeted them one by one. Although as an opponent, Kobe has a closer relationship with these people.

Before the game, Chen Long and Kobe had no language communication.

O'Neal also closed his big mouth, because he knew Kobe's character very well, and it would not do any good to provoke him at this time.

The 2008-09 NBA Finals officially started.

Chicago Bulls VS Los Angeles Lakers.

As the leader, Kobe Bryant led the Lakers to play first.

The Lakers' center is Andrew Bynum, power forward Pau Gasol, small forward Metta World Peace, shooting guard Kobe Bryant and point guard Derek Fisher.

The home team Bulls debut!

The United Center arena sounded like a tsunami of cheers.

In the eyes of Chicagoans, the Bulls seem to have crossed over from the 90s.

After Jordan retired and Pippen and others changed teams, they thought that the Bulls had completely lost hope of rising and waited for ten years. Unexpectedly, two rookies brought the team back to the finals.

In addition to joy, the Chicagoans cherish Chen Long and Rose even more, because these two people are the cornerstone of the Bulls' team building.

And their starting point is so high, no one knows what kind of dynasty the Bulls can start!
The current finals follow the 2-3-2 format.

Therefore, as long as a team without home court advantage can fight for a victory in the first two games, it will be able to take the initiative.

Phil Jackson is well aware of the flaws in the competition system. His goal is to win G1 and then return to Los Angeles to end the game!

After the opening, the Lakers dominated the offense first, and the offense was extremely active.

The little shark used his mobility to make an air cut to the basket. Before the big shark got into position, Fisher passed to Bynum, who made a dunk, and then Bynum kneeled O'Neal during the dunk.

After playing for so many years, O'Neal knew very well whether his opponent did it on purpose, so he angrily pushed Bynum away.

This is what Bynum was waiting for, so he didn't fight back, but threw him out on the spot.

Seeing this kid flopping, O'Neill's expression was off.

The referee didn't blow the whistle. On the one hand, the actions of both of them were suspected of fouling, and O'Neal's actions were not big, and Bynum's fall was a bit too fake...

Kobe complained to the referee, but didn't say much, because the finals is not a regular season, the referee will be very cautious in whistleblowing, the best way at this time is not to actively interfere with the referee's judgment.

Big plus pulled Bynum up.

Bynum thought I just fell for nothing?

No, because referees have their own judgment criteria in mind.

Just now O'Neill did push someone deliberately, so the referee will blow his whistle, but not now.

When the Bulls attacked, Rose seemed a little nervous, and his running was not as neat as usual.

At this time, it showed that Ray Allen, who had a championship in hand, had a stable mentality. He found opportunities through running as usual. Chen Long passed the ball.

However, the referee disallowed the goal.

Because Kobe was blocked by O'Neal while going around the screen.

This is what the referee was waiting for, and he called O'Neal for a screen foul without hesitation.

Such a whistle had a greater impact on the Bulls than the blow of O'Neal's foul just now. In addition, the whistle was late, and Ray Allen had already started to celebrate, but it was blown away.

The emotional impact is huge.

So Vinidnagro protested to the referee.

Phil Jackson had his pockets in his pocket. He knew very well that Pooh was too young. If he continued to question the referee at this time, he would only be targeted.

Tom Thibodeau pushed Pooh back on the bench, and then told him that it was the finals, and the referee was also very nervous. If you can't stimulate the referee, don't stimulate it...

Pooh also realized that what he said might cause the bull to be targeted by the referee, so he hammered his thigh angrily, reminding himself to keep calm.

Because of this episode, the Lakers handed the ball to Kobe. Ray Allen has a lot of experience in defending Kobe, but it doesn't mean that Ray Allen can defend Kobe.

I saw Kobe using his best scoring method, turning over and scoring a jumper.

At this time, Chen Long dribbled the ball across the half court by himself, and then made a super long three-pointer.

Seeing Chen Long's incomprehensible touch, Phil Jackson's expression did not change at all. He already knew how Chen Long would fight, so he was no longer surprised.

Conversely, after taking the ball, Kobe used Dajia's cover, and then stepped back and scored a three-pointer.

In order to deal with Chen Long, Kobe also strengthened his three-point training, so this kind of retreat has become a conventional weapon for him.

In order to stabilize the situation, Chen Long shook off Artest, and then he broke into the three-point line and made an emergency stop to shoot. The basketball fell steadily into the basket.

However, Artest's feet did not retract, but stretched out to Chen Long's feet.

As soon as Chen Long landed, he fell out because of the stepping.

Although his physical fitness has improved a lot, it is impossible to completely avoid the injury of stepping.

Artest raised his hands innocently, as if he had done nothing.

Chen Long clutched his right foot, feeling that it was sprained.

Chen Long has the injury-free BUFF, so the injury is not serious, but the pain of the injury is still there, so he broke out in a cold sweat instantly.

The Lakers didn't stop, and took advantage of Chen Long's failure to stand up, they quickly switched offense and made one.

Kobe deliberately didn't look at Chen Long. A game is a battle. Anyone including him may be injured. There is nothing worthy of sympathy.

Pooh wanted to replace Chen Long for a rest, but Chen Long refused. He stepped on his own foot, showing a calm expression.

Artest was taken aback, thinking that he couldn't even put his foot on it?

Then, Chen Long stared at Artest and said coldly, "Don't think you can beat me like this!"
