Chapter 1369 We came here and took away the champion
The first thousand 380 chapters and three we came here and took away the champion

From the moment the Lakers widened the point difference to 20 points, the game turned into a carnage.

Bostonians in Fleet Center have only two options.

Enjoy the moment, or leave in anger.

No matter which one is chosen, it means that the Celtics' defeat is a foregone conclusion.

Less than [-]% of the fans stayed at the scene. They were the most loyal group. Even if they knew they were losing, they had to wait until the end.

This makes the Lakers even more excited, they want to beat the Celtics in front of the fans.

The five people headed by Wilson, Garnett, Magician, Liu Yuqing, and Kobe have interpreted the best form of "beautiful basketball" at this stage.

Their offense is impeccable, the transfer of the ball is mercury, and the movement of people is like a combination of art and wisdom.

Don Nelson said with relief: "I really want to keep the third quarter game in my mind forever. I should take it to the graveyard."

"Sometimes I can't help but wonder, is 'The Temple' really achievable? Or is it just a beautiful idea?"

Bird's words have been recognized by many people.

The five Lakers players on the field have done their best, but they are still far away from the "temple" described in Louie's playbook.

The strength of the Lakers' current "beautiful basketball" mainly depends on Wilson's state.

When he can control the "eye of the storm" tactics to drive others, the Lakers are invincible.

Even with such an excellent Benj, the coaching staff can't tell whether he has stepped into the temple.

To build the "Holy Temple", they need five Benj.

Is this really achievable?

Even Louis has doubts. Even if Duncan and Bodillo join the team next season, they still need to run in. Before their contract with the Lakers expires (2000), can they see the "temple"?
Only time will tell.

After three quarters, the Lakers' lead has reached 34 points. This game has lost any competitive suspense.

This reminded Louis of the sixth game between the Celtics and the Lakers in 2008. Everyone was waiting for the Lakers to drag the series into a tiebreaker, but they were blown away by the Celtics. From the third quarter onwards, the Bostonians were celebrating. The whole process was as carefree as the 10th Japanese who was madly K by Master Ye.

Louis didn't intend to let the water go, not that he didn't have compassion for the Celtics, but he felt that with the history of the Lakers' humiliation against the Celtics in the finals, only when the opponent was brutalized until the end of the game and the opponent was completely trampled under their feet could it be called hearty and hearty, and it was also the most powerful counterattack against the curse.

Therefore, in the fourth quarter, the Lakers' offense continued unabated. In the third quarter, they did not give any respect and kindness to their opponents, and only wanted to fight to the last moment with a revenge-filled offense.

The Celtics are not going to lie down and be ravaged. They struggled a bit, and then they were crushed by the Lakers' offensive.

Four minutes into the fourth quarter, the point difference reached 4 points.

Most of the fourth quarter, the point difference reached 48 points.

With 1 minute left before the end of the game, Liu Yuqing caught the ball and scored his ninth three-pointer in a single game, bringing the point difference to 54 points.

Then Louie called a symbolic long timeout for Magic, Ellis, Kobe, (Buck) Williams, Nash.

The magician didn't expect him to be replaced.

Then, he reacted.

It turns out that he is now the kind of veteran who needs to be replaced at this special moment to enjoy the game.

When was the last time he won a championship?
Every Lakers fan can say that answer without thinking, but Magic doesn't know it.

Time has passed for too long, the memory of success has been obliterated, and all the bitter fragments of failure occupy my mind.

"Ervin, I'll handle the ball."

Kobe didn't seem to notice the strangeness of the magician, and said proactively.

"As you please."

The magician took a deep breath and walked forward slowly.

Ellis beckoned for the ball, but Kobe didn't even look at it, and asked people to pull away for a singles.

"You bastard, do you know how to respect veterans?"

Then Kobe deliberately passed the ball to Buck, and then looked back at Ellis provocatively, saying who doesn't respect the veteran?
Old Buck didn't bother to pay attention to those two, and rushed to the basket with the ball to score a dunk.

The cheers and screams of his teammates made it clear to him that this was his moment and that he was about to win the championship.

For someone like him who has been in professional basketball for many years but has never won a championship, this is a blessing.Not everyone who has played for more than ten years can have this kind of blessing.

"I actually have today!"

Old Buck laughed smugly.

After that, it took the Celtics 20 seconds to complete the attack.

When it was the Lakers' turn, Kobe gave the ball to the magician, but the latter had no intention of attacking, so he just shook the ball a few times and returned the ball to its original owner.

Kobe saw that he had already respected the two veterans. Who can say that he doesn't respect the veterans?It's my turn to play.

So he called Barker's pick-and-roll, broke through the dribble, and hit a jumper with an emergency stop.

"I shouldn't have recommended you to join the knight order, you selfish bastard!"

Alice groaned in dissatisfaction.

Kobe also felt that it seemed a little unkind not to let Ellis take a shot, so he said: "If there is a chance to shoot at the buzzer later, I will give it to you. Is that okay?"

Alice was dumbfounded, did this speak in human language?

We are all leading by 56 points. As long as the game is over, we will win the cup. Who will take this kind of buzzer?
The Celtics still insisted on attacking. With only 26 seconds left, it took them 20 seconds to make a barely shot, leaving the Lakers with the last 6 seconds.

The Lakers serve and Kobe throws the ball directly to Ellis.

Ellis froze in place.

Kobe thought to himself, this is his chance, don't say I don't respect the old.

Alice glanced at Louis, and there was only a wry smile on the other's face.

The game is actually over here, and the Lakers players off the field have rushed to the field.

The last few seconds were meaningless.

"The people of Los Angeles have been waiting for 15 years, and finally got an answer tonight!"

"The Lakers are the world champions this year!"

Louis hugged his teaching assistants sideways, telling each other about the difficulty along the way.

The Lakers, who are mostly young, can't fully understand the preciousness of this moment.

This makes the reaction of those veterans even more moving.

Joe Dumars, who defected to the Lakers for the basic salary of the championship, proved the short-sightedness of the Heat management.

He was looking for the live media and had a lot to say.

Ellis didn't make a move in the end, he wanted to face.

Although it was the second championship in his career after nearly 10 years, he didn't feel much, because in the playoffs, he was basically a spectator.

Wilson proved himself, leading the age-polarized Lakers to crush and win the championship with an overwhelming advantage. During the playoffs, he only lost two games to the Trail Blazers, and he himself averaged 34.4 points, 7.8 rebounds and 8.3 assists per game. The data proved his weight as the absolute core.

No one can say that he can't win the championship without Ewing.

He looked back at the people around him, and Barkley was a little dazed, as if he couldn't believe the result.

Wilson got up and patted Barkley on the shoulder, "Chuck, you're a champion now."

Barkley was overjoyed, stood up and roared as loudly as he could: "Fuck Parker Riley!!!!"

The magician who always smiles at life has been smiling less recently.

In this unforgettable moment, he actually let out a cry of grief in front of Louis.

Louis did not comfort him, this man who has been frustrated for 15 years needs a vigorous catharsis.

15 years, how many things can happen during this period?
It can bring the NBA back to life, bring cable TV into thousands of households, you can see from the "Star Wars" trilogy the eve of the "Titanic" slaughtering the box office charts, and accompany Michael Jackson from the heyday to the sinking period, and then witness the Soviet Union from decline to demise.

This is the distance between the Magician and the last championship.

It's just that long.

Louis led the gaffe magician into the locker room, and the players drowned out all their sad thoughts with champagne. The old Bass wanted to stand up and say a few inspiring speeches, but the young Bass felt that this moment should be reserved for the coaching staff.

"Dad, I can understand your feelings. But, I think the players don't want to hear those beautiful words from us now, because the people who have been with them all the way here are Don, Larry, Mike, Kareem, Rick, and Coach Lu."

The eldest brother Johnny glanced at the younger brother unexpectedly, he didn't expect him to say such reasonable words.

Old Bass also reacted. Indeed, no matter what he said at this time, it was too abrupt.

So he didn't say anything, just like everyone else, quietly waiting for their fuss to end.

Louis waited for the locker room to calm down, looked at the people who couldn’t close their mouths, and said peacefully: “Congratulations, gentlemen, your excellence is like flowers that cannot hide their colors, unstoppable torrents, and fruits that are destined to fall from a tree. You should be proud, because your performance shocked the world. You should be happy, because no one is more qualified to be happy than you. We ended the cursed history and created a new history that will last forever. We are here. And take the championship, go celebrate like you're the center of the universe!"
