Chapter 315 Finals Celtics vs. Clippers
With a 3:0 lead, most of the Los Angeles Clippers entered the stage of the finals. Lin Fei was getting closer and closer to his first trip to the finals. At this time, the Eastern Conference finals also entered the realm of 3:0. , Such a score in the East and West finals surprised many people.

On May 5 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, the crowd in the auditorium had gradually dispersed before the game ended. When the whistle sounded for the end of the game, Nowitzki walked towards Lin Fei. The two masters The star simply hugged, "Lin, I hope you can win the final championship."

Lin Fei patted Nowitzki on the back lightly and said, "Dirk, I will. You will definitely be better next year."

Looking at the background of Nowitzki's departure, Lin Fei shook his head. This is the cruelty of competitive sports. There is a winner but there is also a loser. He has been a loser for the past two years and can only watch Kobe advance.

The desire for the O'Brien Cup has never been stronger than this year. In the fourth game of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Orlando Magic stubbornly dragged the game into overtime, and finally relied on Jameer Nelson. With a three-pointer, the Magic won a difficult victory and tied the total score to 1:3.

The Clippers' advancement almost won overwhelming media coverage, and the media in Los Angeles are already working hard for the finals. However, Howard does not seem to intend to give up his efforts. The Magic returned to the home court with a 113:94 victory. Back in the round, this nearly [-]-point victory greatly boosted the morale of the Magic players, and the media in Orlando even started reporting on the reversal of the Jedi.

The Celtics are also a little panicked. If they can't win at home in the sixth game and advance, once they are dragged to the seventh game, it will have a huge impact on the morale of both sides.

On May 5, after losing two games in a row, the Celtics reined in their home court and successfully defeated the Orlando Magic 31-96, advancing to the finals with a total score of 84:4. This is their second time in three years. into the finals.

The Clippers finally waited for their real opponent to be released. Although the Celtics have been training as their imaginary opponent in the finals for the past few days, they still trained with the Magic as their imaginary opponent. Now that their real opponent is revealed, Mike Dunleavy is also training There are better arrangements.

The daily war of words between Boston and Los Angeles made the finals four days later full of gunpowder.

Except for Boston and Los Angeles every day, almost all the media in the United States focused their attention on the upcoming finals. ESPN columnist Mark Stern's comparison of the strength of the players of the two sides was approved by most people.

However, no amount of saliva from the outside world can affect the preparations of the players on both sides. Although the Celtics' main lineup is relatively old, they are rich in experience and still do not show that their age has brought them a huge bondage. They have even changed under the erosion of the years. They have become more experienced, and this is their second finals in the past three years. For them, they have more experience in the finals than most of the Clippers. This is a point that Mike Dunleavy is quite worried about.

The names of Garnett, Pierce, and Ray Allen are prominently marked in red pen on the tactical board, while Rajon Rondo's name is marked in blue pen.

The four of them were more simulated in the training. Mike Dunleavy made the final arrangements for the relevant personnel. Everyone hoped to make a good start at the start of the finals.

And Doug Rivers is undoubtedly more worried. Although his team has experienced veterans, the Clippers do not lack. The taste of tension.

At 6:4 p.m. on June 8th, the bustling downtown Los Angeles seemed to be quieter. People realized the reason when their eyes turned to Staples. There were thousands of people in the square outside Staples. , People are surrounding the super large LED screen in the square. The picture is the scene of the Celtics and Clippers warming up before the first game of the finals. From time to time, there are uniform cheers in the square.

The fans of the Clippers are obviously crazy. In their history, this is the first time they have entered the finals stage, and the grievances between Los Angeles and Boston are undoubtedly the highlight of the publicity. The Staples, which temporarily added 3000 seats, is still in the Tickets were sold out in a short time, so many people outside Staples tried to buy a ticket in various ways.

At the entrance of the Staples Arena, a father and son attracted a lot of attention. The little boy in front of him wrote on his chest, "If anyone can give me a ticket, I will sell him my dad."

And the middle-aged man behind him also wrote on his chest, "If anyone can give me a ticket, I will sell my son to him, but please don't tell him."

The Staples Center with 3000 temporary seats is even more crowded, and all kinds of voices converge together.

Everyone is waiting for the start of the finals, which has attracted live broadcasts from nearly 160 countries around the world.

"This is Chaoting TV, here is Chaoting TV! The first game of the NBA 2009-10 season finals will be broadcast live for you now. If you have any views on the game, or have anything to say, send ***** to * ****, you can win the generous basketball gift package we prepared for you, and every quarter, a lucky spectator will be drawn to get Chen Hao's autographed boots and the latest Destroyer Soul 2.0!" Yu Jia said the soul The second generation held it in his hand and showed it to the live audience in front of the TV.

ESPN has even excluded an unprecedented four-person commentary team. This is the first time in the entire history of ESPN commentary. live commentary.

All the lights of Staples were turned off, the explosive music was played, the spotlights were turned on and began to shine on every corner of the arena, and the Celtics players began to appear in the feeble voice of the live DJ, accompanied by them The appearance is enough to deafen the boos.

When the Celtics players finished playing, all the Clippers fans were waiting for their heroes to play, and the Clippers players began to appear one by one amid the roar of the DJ on the scene.

When it came to the last one, the spotlight was also turned off, and a deep and beneficial roar erupted in every corner of Staples in the darkness, accompanied by the DJ's shout Lin Fei trotted out from the player tunnel, with his hands raised high After high-fiving fans on both sides of the player tunnel, the entire Staples reached its first climax.

Lin Fei clearly felt how excited his heart was at this moment, a feeling he had never felt before.

"Well, the much-anticipated finals are finally here. Now let's look at the starting lists of both sides. Not surprisingly, the Celtics' starting lineup will not change. I believe Doug Rivers is also interested in the Clippers at this moment. The starting list is extremely concerned." Charles Barkley said with a smile.

Jeff Van Gundy looked at the roster in his hand, "The Celtics' starting lineup is Perkins, Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo and the pre-game prediction Exactly the same, Jermaine O'Neal still stays on the bench, this arrangement is undoubtedly to make the inside have a certain lethality during the second team competition stage."

"The Clippers' starting roster has changed slightly. The main center has been replaced by Shaquille O'Neal who has only started 12 games this season. The power forward is Tyson Chandler. It was Dunleavy's method to curb Kevin's appearance. The small forward position was replaced by Ron Artest, who seldom started in the playoffs. The shooting guard position was still Lin Fei, and the point guard was still Andre. Miller, I don't know if the Clippers' lineup is beyond Rivers' expectations?" Mark Jackson looked at Doc Rivers, who was on the bench for the Celtics.

"They made a change, but we shouldn't change and play according to the offense we arranged. Kendrick, your defensive task is undoubtedly heavier, but you can't take that old shark too lightly. Pay attention to your defense and don't take it lightly. foul..." Rivers made a last effort.

With a whistle, the starting lineups of both sides stepped onto the floor and stood in their positions, waiting for the start of the game.

This season, the Clippers only lost nine games in the regular season, and they lost to the Celtics in the key battle of the 34-game winning streak. This somewhat gave Rivers and the Celtics players some confidence The starting lineup of the Clippers in this game is exactly the same as today, even though it was the regular season and this is the finals.

Tyson Chandler and Kevin Garnett stood in the middle circle, and with a whistle, Tyson Chandler passed the ball to Andre Miller again with a slight advantage.

Seeing that there was no good fast break opportunity, Miller simply stopped and held the ball steadily, waiting for all the players to settle down.

"Or give it to Shaq?" Rivers off the court couldn't help but rang out the regular season game that defeated the Clippers. It was the Clippers who frequently handed over the ball to O'Neal to score in consecutive singles.

"Kendrick, hold on, hold on." Rivers shouted at Perkins on the court.

Perkins stood still, but his chest was in pain from O'Neal's impact.

At this moment, Lin Fei, who was guarded by Pierce, swayed his upper body to Pierce's right side and his lower body to Pierce's left side. In an instant, he ran without the ball and threw Pierce behind him.

After getting rid of Pierce, Lin Fei went straight inside. Kevin Garnett was about to assist in defense when Tyson Chandler blocked his body. He could only watch Lin Fei cut in helplessly.

At this moment, O'Neal held the ball in both hands and leaned on Perkins to take a step. When Perkins was waiting for O'Neal to make a shot but failed to wait, and was about to call out O'Neal's violation to the referee, there was wind behind him, and he turned around. The first thing that caught my eye was Lin Fei flying towards the basket with both hands facing the ball.

"Bang!"

The first time he attacked the basket in the opening game, he suffered an angry dunk from Lin Fei.

"Shaq's biography is beautiful, you should grab Andre's job." Lin Fei said with a smile.

"Did you just know that I can pass the ball today? This is the regret of your life." O'Neill said thoughtfully.

"Beautiful alley-oop, Shaq passed a good ball, look at Kendrick's expression, he must be looking for where the ball went." Barkley ignored Perkins' feelings.

Although the Celtics came to the Wolf King Garnett, even though the gentleman sword Ray Allen came, and even though Rajon Rondo rose to become the fourth giant, they could not change Paul Pierce's low position in this team, Paul Pierce has been following this legendary team since he first entered the league. He never left the team but chose to stick to it. He longed for the feeling of victory, watching Lin who celebrated with O'Neal Fly, Pierce greeted a quick counterattack.

Ron Artest is the defense that Rivers specially prepared for him.

Rivers hopes that Artest will use his body to resist Pierce's offense.

Pierce did not rush to attack after receiving the ball, and dribbled the ball steadily in front of Artest.

Artest's defensive ability is not enough to make him lose his defensive position in the face of Pierce's provocation, and he looked at Pierce coldly like watching a good show.

Perhaps because of just the beginning, Pierce's sudden change of direction caused Artest's defense to fluctuate. At this moment, Pierce keenly observed Artest's defense, and directly took off to shoot. It was so sudden that Artest The defense can only do its best to interfere with Pierce's rhythm. In fact, Artest's defense has always been effective before the final shot of the offense. After all, Artest's jumping wingspan allows him to complete frontal blocks. possible things.

Pierce threw the ball firmly, with a signature fadeaway.

The basketball flew over Artest's fingers and flew towards the distant basket.

"Shooting is Paul's strong point. Obviously, Ron didn't expect that Paul would handle the first shot so easily, which instead gave him a chance." Mark Jackson analyzed.

"Yes, look, the ball easily went into the basket to tie the game 2:2. Both sides successfully scored the first goal in the opening game, which will have an impact on both sides' subsequent offenses." Jeff Van Gundy gave himself the opinion of.

The Clippers' offense was once again in the hands of O'Neal. This time the Celtics obviously guarded other players closely, and Perkins had to bear the pressure of defending O'Neal alone.

The moment O'Neal knocked out of position and found the offensive space to shoot, Garnett seemed to have returned to the strongest era and quickly appeared on the defensive end. In the end, O'Neal's hook shot hit the iron under interference.

Garnett directly protected the defensive rebound and immediately handed it over to Rajon Rondo.

"It can be seen that Kevin's performance is very good, just like back in 04, his lateral movement ability even makes me feel that he is still 24 years old, although it is only a assisted defense, I can feel that Kevin is in good condition today, So what about Ray?" Kenny Smith asked his own question, and soon Ray Allen gave his own answer.

"Shit." Lin Fei cursed in a low voice, he had already bypassed Pierce's cover for Ray Allen and chased after him, but he was blocked by Garnett, who was promoted to a high position again, and he watched Ray Allen helplessly. Len catches and shoots.

"I was talking about Ray Allen's state just now, and now he tells me that his state is equally good with practical actions. The Celtics relied on the Big Three to win the game in the season. Is this a good sign now?" Ken Ni Smith said with a smile.
