the rest, only noise

Chapter 1354 People Who Like Waves

After the opening minutes, even the fans could tell that the Lakers were out of shape tonight.

Liu Yuqing, who has always been stable, made an own pass and made a good shot. Even Dana Baros seemed to be possessed by a demon. The pass was either wrong or out of order.

This kind of Lakers is far from the unsolvable team that beat the Celtics in the first two games.

Louis is at peace. Since Game [-] of the Western Conference Finals, they have played three high-level games in a row. According to the normal law, the state will definitely decline.

The starters are out of shape except for Wilson and Barkley.

This certainly cannot be explained by negligence, because Liu Yuqing usually has no lace, and when other teammates are outside, he always locks himself on the court.

If Lu Wuxia is a ball idiot, then Liu Yuqing is a ball idiot.

He's a maniac who trains for the sake of training. People like that are out of order. That's not a normal basketball problem.

Fortunately, Wilson and Barkley, the two talkers, are in good shape, at least they can guarantee the Lakers' basic set.

After four and a half minutes, the Lakers did not fall behind in the score due to the wonderful performance of Wei and Ba.

12 is better than 8
The Lakers are 4 points behind the Celtics.

Although the Lakers made many mistakes, they retreated quickly. Except for Hill, no one else from the Celtics had ever fought back.

Although the point difference is not that big, and the team's state looks good, but the performance of Liu Yuqing and Baros has not improved.

Therefore, Louis took the initiative to call for a substitution.

Louis replaced Baros with Dumars, and then replaced Liu Yuqing with Ellis.

"Think about it, you two!" Louis said dissatisfiedly, "Even if my mother beats you, it won't be worse than you!"

Baros blushed, and hardly knew how to face his teammates.

Liu Yuqing asked the team's trainer for an ice bucket.

"What are you doing, Jiang Duo?"

"Take it."

Liu Yuqing said to Da Ben in an orderly tone.

Da Ben, who was used to being called around, picked up the ice bucket, and then, staring, he saw Liu Yuqing buried her face in the bucket...

"Hey hey..." Nelson exclaimed, "What is this, performance art?"

Bird touched Louis, "Is your brain flooded, don't you care?"

The team doctor said worriedly: "You just finished a high-intensity exercise, so you can easily catch a cold!"

"I just want to calm down." Liu Yuqing's face was dripping with cold water, "Don't worry."

Louie said indifferently: "If you get sick because of this, you may miss the rest of the game."

This is obviously not the first time Liu Yuqing has done this.

He didn't think about it that much.

Louis sighed, this is a strong weirdo.

At this time, deafening and violent boos came from the sidelines.

Louis took a closer look, and it turned out that Dale Ellis had caught the ball.

Although he was booed by the audience, Ellis was not affected at all.

Instead, the boos reminded him of the 1988 tiebreaker.

However, at this moment, he is already a veteran, and this stadium is not the Boston Garden that year.

The boos at the scene failed to affect Ellis's shot.

That ball went straight to the center of the basket.

11 is better than 12
Ten seconds later, Shanton Anderson hit a three-pointer with the open space obtained by attracting the defense inside.

15 is better than 11
Dumars made a pass error and Hill counterattacked for a dunk.

17 is better than 11
"This is the fourth time the Lakers have passed the ball tonight. It is worth mentioning that this is also the second time the Celtics have taken advantage of the opponent's mistakes to quickly counterattack and score tonight."

"Isn't even JD in shape?" Bird said in disbelief.

"not necessarily."

Louis is more willing to believe that Dumars' mistakes were accidental.

If it is said that the state is not good, like Liu Yuqing, the whole body movement seems uncoordinated, and the decision-making is also problematic, then it is indeed a bad state.

Ballos passed the ball randomly and made many mistakes, which is not the reason why Louis replaced him. His problem is that he can't do his best on the offensive end. This is the detail that can really tell whether his state is good or bad.

For Dumars, we have to watch a few more rounds.

On the next possession, Dumars used Garnett's pick-and-roll high throw to score.

13 is better than 17
After watching this ball, you can roughly see how Dumars is in state.

What Dumars showed was a normal game state.

As long as there is no problem with Dumars, the Lakers' coaching staff can feel at ease.

Ballos and Dumars are two important figures on the Lakers' back line. Although the former is the starter, the latter's versatility and combo guard attributes allow him to support the two positions.

A versatile guard like Dumars is what every team wants.

If he also has problems, it will be difficult for the Lakers to play.

Because they can't count on Nash to support the sky in the finals, Wilson has to be more of a ball holder to instigate the team.

It's not impossible, but it's usually the trump card that the Lakers use when they have nothing to do.

Malone then picks and rolls for Sampson.

After the only Mr. dribbled with Garnett in a high position, he used a small forward to collect the ball sideways and turn around with a fadeaway jumper to complete the attack.

"Ralph was Kevin Garnett's dream version of himself."

Lambiel said eccentrically.

When Garnett responded with an unpretentious catch-and-shoot jumper on the next possession, Lambiel continued to play his ancestral crooked ass commentary: "Lakers fans always want KG to be a player like Ralph, but if he is always in charge of finishing instead of creating scoring opportunities like Ralph, he will never be a player like Ralph."

Whenever Lambiel said that, Costas had to come out and smooth things over.

For viewers, it was annoying, and especially for viewers who didn't like the Celtics, it was torture.

Just imagine the eccentric eyes that are more than ten times more than Weiping Bryant's classic "Win the championship! Win the championship!" in 2010. It is not difficult to understand.

However, although Lambiel's subjective bias towards the Celtics is troublesome, his professionalism and 360-degree embarrassment to the Knicks are what the audience loves to see.

That's why he was honored as a guest of honor by NBC.

On the court, the Celtics who returned to the home court seemed to have gained some invisible gains. They were still those same people, but their combat effectiveness on the court had increased significantly.

On the contrary, their opponents had many problems.

Changing the previously strong Lakers reminds people of the curse on them and the Celtics' ten-game winning streak against them in the Finals.

Whether it was Hill taking over at the beginning, or the middle of the first quarter, Sampson and Malone's high-low cooperation made the Celtics' offense bloom more, or the Lakers' offensive misfiring after replacing Wilson and Barkley, the offense stagnated for 2 minutes, reminding the fans.

Those who counted on the Lakers to go down four games and sweep the Celtics out of the game are about to lose their wish.

At the end of the first quarter, 30 to 21.

The Celtics lead the Lakers by 9 points. At the same time, this is the first time they have scored more than 30 points in a single quarter in the Finals this year.

Even if the sample is enlarged to the entire playoff period, they only scored more than 30 points in a single quarter twice. On the one hand, the Eastern Conference has a strong confrontation and it is difficult to have a high-scoring performance. On the other hand, the Celtics' offensive explosive power is not strong.

Therefore, being able to score 30 points in a single quarter in the finals shows how strong they are.

After weighing repeatedly, Louis decided to make a bold change.

Louis is not without options. If the rotation schedule is broken and Wilson and Barkley continue to play, they can still support the situation.

But he felt that there was no need for this, and he should rest when he should.

This is the benefit brought by the depth of the Lakers' lineup. Even if the start is not good, they should not give up this benefit.

Moreover, relying on superstars to hang their breaths all the way and then lose to their opponents in the end is the most boring game, and Louis doesn't want to do that.

Either lose outright, or use the lineup to turn the tables. It's okay to die a superstar for 48 minutes, but now the Lakers are leading by a big score after all, so there is no need to fight so hard.
