Chapter 348 Finals

Although they are both unsolvable top shooting guards like Kobe, defending Kobe and defending Wade are completely different.

Kobe Bryant's starting speed is not as fast as when he was young, and he relies more on rhythm and experience, so Battier and Pietrus can defend for about 10 minutes, so that Channing can rest.

But against Wade, Battier and Pietrus' paces are too slow. Basically, Wade will pass as soon as he exerts his strength, so Channing must come in person. The speed is not much different, and the height and wingspan advantage It can completely cover Wade.

Therefore, in the four games against the Heat, Channing basically seldom took shots, and was always entangled with Wade. He successfully exchanged with Wade, relying on Yao Ming to play four explosive games in the fragile inside group of the Heat. The performance, Philadelphia successfully swept the promotion.

In the second round of the Western Conference, the Lakers crushed their strength and successfully swept the Jazz to enter the Western Conference Finals.

The Suns against the Spurs made it impossible for experts to predict. Both teams have aging lineups. Is this a matchup between two old men?
In the end, relying on their consistent trust in the Spurs, the experts are still more optimistic about the Spurs winning. After all, this old Spurs just blacked out the Mavericks in the first round of the Western Conference. People admire their tenacity. The so-called veterans will only die slowly. , that's it.

It's just that the result of the game surprised everyone. The Suns used bombardment tactics to drag down the Spurs, 4-0, and the Spurs were quickly swept out.

Entering the finals of the Eastern and Western Conferences, the Suns wobbled into the Western Conference finals due to internal and external troubles, which has already shattered the glasses of many so-called experts. In the first two games of the Western Conference Finals, Kobe scored 40 points and 36 points respectively. Offensive scored 128 points and 124 points, leading 2-0.Unexpectedly, the Suns bloomed like flowers after returning to the home court, tying the score to 2-2.In the battle of Tianwangshan, Ron Artest made a brilliant shot and the Lakers narrowly won 103:101. In Game 6, Kobe Bryant showed his prowess and led the team to the finals for the third consecutive season with 37 points.

In the East, the Philadelphia 76ers ushered in the Celtics. Last year, Philadelphia won the championship and did not convince the Celtics fans. It is because they firmly believe that Philadelphia won the championship because it took advantage of Garnett's reimbursement for the season, and it cannot be regarded as hard power. , So this time, the two teams are facing each other head-on, and both want to defeat their opponents to prove themselves.

The Celtics want to stumble Philadelphia, prove that they are not old, prove that they still have the strength to win the championship, and the confidence to create a dynasty next.

The Philadelphia 76ers want to knock down the Celtics head-on, show their strength to the whole league in a real way, and then get fair recognition from all teams.

The first game was held at the Wachovia Center Arena in Philadelphia. Although the Celtics had just finished a difficult round of series against the Cavaliers, the old guys did not show any signs of fatigue. As brave as blood.

Garnett played a top power forward in the face of Ibaka, and taught this young man who thought he was already the future first-line fourth in the league. Rajon Rondo also continued to explode against Kyle Lowry , Once again scored an all-around triple-double of 22 points, 12 rebounds and 15 assists, making Lowry's 11 points, 5 assists and 2 rebounds really impossible.

More importantly, Channing didn't feel good tonight. Maybe it was because defending Wade in the previous series was too exhausting. Channing hadn't recovered yet. Under the entanglement, it was very difficult to play. Channing had to use a very bad state to take over the ball. As a result, he took 35 wild shots, with a hit rate of less than 25%, scoring only 23 points, and did not beat Pierce's 19 points and Ray Allen's [-] points.

The dual-core collective was sluggish, and the Philadelphia team suffered a bad start. This was also the first playoff game Philadelphia lost this season. The Celtics stole a victory from Philadelphia's home court, which made the Celtics fans immediately arrogant. Once shouted the slogan of opening the dynasty.

But Channing didn't agree, he quickly adjusted his state, and the outside feel was not good, so Channing chose more post-up singles, turning over and hitting jumpers on Pierce's head again and again, which made Pierce feel what despair is.

In the second game, Channing regained his touch and scored 43 points frantically, successfully defending the home court.The third game moved to the terrifying North Shore Garden Arena in Boston. Both sides regarded this game as a key matchup to gain an advantage. Both teams played wonderful performances. Rondo scored a triple-double again. The old Big Three He also played well. Yao Ming could not take advantage of the Green Army's inside line. Fortunately, Chen Ning stepped forward to provoke the leader and scored 48 points crazy. Especially at the critical moment of the fourth quarter, the Green Army often ran through complex tactics. , Fine teamwork resulted in a score, Channing immediately hit an unsolvable fadeaway jumper, just to keep Philadelphia alive, but in the last minute, the performance of the Celtics' old three giants began to decline, Channing continued Break through the inside and send assists, leading the team to victory.

In this battle, the two sides had no reservations. It can be said that it was a preview of the entire series. After the third game, Philadelphia built up confidence and became more and more courageous, but the Big Three were powerless. The Jovia Center was also unable to turn the tide. In the end, 4-1, the Philadelphia team stepped on the corpse of the Celtics and successfully joined the Lakers in the finals.

The 23VS24 that has been called for many years has never been realized, and the legendary Lake-Kay matchup has also been destroyed. This year's finals is the same as last year, and it is a contest between Philadelphia and the Lakers.

Last year, Philadelphia successfully defeated the Lakers 4-1, but this year the Lakers recruited Artest, and their strength has gone further, while Philadelphia has basically not improved, one ebbs and another, so before the finals, the experts made various predictions , Say anything.

The Finals kicked off soon, and Philadelphia had the home court advantage in the first game. Yao Ming, Ibaka, Birdman Anderson, Jason Thompson and others were full of motivation. They crazily rebounded in front of the Lakers Twin Towers and grabbed more than the Lakers in total. 11 rebounds and 16 points in the second attack alone, especially Ibaka and Birdman Anderson, these two guys provided Philadelphia with endless passion, coupled with the stable performance of Yao Ming and Channing, Philadelphia went first One city, the second game was also successfully won at home.

The Lakers will not give up. Back in Los Angeles, the crazy support of the home fans gave them more strength. Although Gasol only made 16 of 6 shots, he grabbed 18 rebounds, including 8 offensive rebounds. , completely threw off the hat of the Spanish softie, and won 13 free throws, which caused a lot of damage to Philadelphia's inside line. Kobe made the final decision at a critical moment and helped the Lakers win a victory.
