At the beginning of the game, the Boston Celtics gave the Lakers a blow.

Celtic's starting lineup is PG Dana - Barros SG Eric - Williams SF Rick - Fox PF Antoine - Walker C Dino - Radia.

Except for point guard Dana Barros, all players are over 2 meters tall.

Dana Barros was the No. 16 pick in 1989, although he was only 1.80 meters tall. But he's a top 3-point shooter. In the 1995 season, he scored 20.6 points and 7.5 assists, and made 2.4 three-pointers with a 46.4% shooting rate.

Rick Fox was the No. 24 pick in 1991, with a height of 2.01 meters. This season, he averaged 15.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 2.2 steals per game. He is a high-quality striker with both offense and defense.

Kobe had been his teammate for 7 years in his last life, and they had a close relationship. Fox is not an easy player to solve.

Eric Williams was the No. 14 pick in 1995, with a height of 2.03 meters. This season, he averaged 15 points, 5.3 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game. Also a good forward role player.

Antoine Walker, the No. 6 pick this year. The Celtics have great expectations for him. He has a height of 2.03 meters and currently averages 17.5 points, 9.0 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game. This is a very good rookie power forward data.

Dino Radia, a 2.11-meter Croatian insider. The Celtics only selected him with the 13th pick in the second round of 1989. Last season, he scored 19.7 points and 9.8 rebounds at the quasi-All-Star level. It can be said that it made everyone's eyes shine.

It can be said that this youth army led by M-L-Kyle has a very good lineup on paper, and at the same time has a very good prospect worth looking forward to.

It can be seen that the overall height of the Celtics team is very tall, with size and speed. This combination is very good.

So when they were inspired by Auerbach, they played a smooth offense and defense, which surprised the unprepared Lakers.

A poor team actually scored 30 points in a single quarter in front of the strong No. 1 team in the Western Conference!

23:30 is the score difference at the end of the first quarter.

And 18 of these 23 points were scored by O'Neal and Kobe.

I don't know if it's because of the tiredness of the journey, or because of the atmosphere at home in Boston. The other players in the team scored only two points on 2 of 12 shots.

And after Kobe and O'Neal were double-teamed, the players who had open shots also missed repeatedly.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the state of the Lakers' bench was as sluggish as the starter's. Fortunately, the defense is still on the line, and the Celtics' weak bench is also difficult to score.

The two sides switched to the starters. Although the Lakers starters in the second quarter still did not find their offensive status, their defensive aggression kept up.

22:22 tie in the second quarter.

At halftime, the Lakers trailed by 7 points at 45:52.

Kobe scored 14 points on 6-for-13 halftime. The poor performance of his teammates made the Celtics more determined to double-team him. It was difficult for him to get good shooting space. The Celtics' striker was too tall.

O'Neal scored 12 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists in 5 of 7. He was in good condition, but he also encountered a double-team after holding the ball and didn't get too many shots.

The second half is about to start, and I believe that my teammates will find their touch. Or continue to shoot in poor spacing?

Of course, continue to vote.

This may be a very difficult decision for other players.

But for Kobe, this is not a problem at all.

Even if I miss 100 shots, I still believe that the next shot will be hit.

This is a way of basketball, and perhaps not the most scientific and reasonable.

But this is Kobe.

A paranoid, confident, stubborn soul.

The second half begins.

The Celtics pass the ball around and into the hands of Antoine Walker.

Antoine Walker is the high-mobility power forward that Campbell fears most, especially because he still has a three-pointer.

Antoine Walker faked a three-pointer, shook Campbell and scored a layup inside.

Kobe was helpless, the power forward was almost blown up every game, and Campbell, who got a big contract, didn't seem to have enough fighting spirit.

Offensive and defensive transition, Kobe attack.

Just after halftime, the Celtics double-teamed up.

Rick Fox and Eric Williams pounce and Bryant passes to Eddie Jones.

Eddie Jones throws an air-cut Kobe, who is faster than Rick Fox and Eric Williams. The air cut threw them away and scored a mid-range shot.

Rick Fox and Eric Williams looked at each other. In this case, let Dana Barros, a speedy guard, and Eric Williams, a forward, pinch together.

The Celtics organized an offense again, and the passing line was predicted by Kobe. After forcing the ball and running to the frontcourt, it was a dunk.

The boos at Fleet Center were filled with distaste for anyone wearing a Lakers jersey.

Damn it, guard that No. 8! M-L-Kyle roared from the sidelines.

The two sides fought back and forth for several rounds. Under the leadership of Kobe, the Lakers first scored 6 points by themselves. Then pass the ball to Eddie Jones and Bowen scored again and again. A small climax of 11:2 was played.

Sure enough, Kobe made the right choice.

When you feel good, this kind of confidence can drive your teammates.

Teammates who dare to shoot and don't worry about missing shots will naturally find the touch.

The Celtics chose to pause, and their lead disappeared in just half a quarter of the game, and they even fell behind by two points.

M-L- Kyle's saliva splashed, the Celtics players bowed their heads, they tried their best, but Kobe's outburst caught them off guard.

Auerbach paced back and forth on the sidelines, he was the one who understood the situation best.

From the moment the double-teaming of Kobe was declared invalid, the Celtics had a difficult game.

M-L-Kyle was unwilling to let the Lakers' shooter continue to shoot open. He chose to let Eric Williams single-handedly defend Kobe.

Bryant came on, saw the Celtics setup, was relieved, and finally got back on track.

When the Celtics' defense returned to the conventional defensive method, the Lakers, who crushed them, blasted a score of 26:12 in a single quarter.

Especially when Harris tried to replace Campbell with Horry, an unexpected chemical reaction occurred.

The combination of Kobe + Jones + Bowen + Horry + O'Neal has too much offensive space!

Kobe and O'Neal's scoring at the basket no longer has to face the opponent's strong defense, which has raised the team's offense to another level.

On the defensive end, Horry can also keep up with Antawn Walker's footsteps, which makes up for the biggest loophole on the Lakers' defensive end.

This is why the Lakers were able to score 14 points in a single quarter.

71:64 The Lakers led by 7 points and entered the fourth quarter.

Kobe no longer forced his shots, he let his teammates who regained his touch attack more, and his teammates lived up to expectations, hitting shots again and again.

The hard power gap between the Lakers and the Celtics is too great.

There is really no way to win by conventional means.

The conclusion of the game was announced with half a quarter left, and both sides replaced all starters at the same time.

Bryant sat on the bench, and Auerbach walked over.

Kobe, are you interested in playing in Boston?

Kobe has a question mark on his face, you are suspected of violating the rules to lure players like this.

But it is estimated that the league has no good way to take this living fossil. After all, he is the only great god who dares to be the president of the league and smokes cigars on the sidelines of the court.

Not interested, I don't like green.

Auerbach looked regretful, if Kobe was willing, he was even willing to pay all the assets of the team in exchange for Kobe.

At the end of the game, the Lakers came from behind and defeated the Boston Celtics 98:79 away.

Kobe Bryant scored 25 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists, and O'Neal scored 22 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists.

On the Celtics side, this year's No. 6 pick Antoine Walker scored 19 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists, and his performance was equally impressive.

Kobe, I will prove that the Celtics were right in choosing me instead of you! The youthful Fat Toutuo approached Kobe.

I look forward to it.
