Chapter 348 Battle outside the field
Before Kobe and Carter came on the court, the Lakers and the Celtics were in a hand-to-hand battle. The offensive rhythm was relatively slow and the goals were relatively few. In terms of the overall perception of the game, it was not as exciting as the two people blocking shots and adding three points, which made the two look more alike. Young people, that's why Barkley joked that the two would steal the show.

The Celtics also have a tendency to collapse. Before the end of the first quarter, they are 17 to 32 behind by 15 points. Where can they find opportunities in the future?

Stevens felt a little regretful. He paused and yelled too much before, so he can only hold back now.

The momentum of Kai fans at the scene was also a little depressed, with confused, exhausted, and helpless expressions on their faces. The DJ shouted 'BEAT LA' loudly, and there were very few responders.

At the last 1 minute and 30 seconds of the first quarter, the Celtics attacked. Irving took the ball to the top of the arc, glanced at the situation on the field, and passed the ball to Hayward.Play singles without tactics. After all, Carter is old, and Hayward attacks face-to-face, very stable.

I saw Hayward holding the ball at 45 degrees on the right side, starting with a standard three-threat posture. After continuous testing, he suddenly took a big step to the right and walked towards the basket against Carter.

Carter really couldn't stop him, so he could only raise his left hand to follow up. Hayward made an emergency stop for a jumper at the short corner.

Carter took off to block the block, which was different from chasing caps before. Hayward was defensive and failed.

With a bang, two points were hit, and the Kai team finally breathed a sigh of relief.

O'Neill: "Oh, what we saw just now is an illusion, Carter is really old."

Kenny: "Kobe is also old, at most he can only attack with Irving, he can't defend."

Barkley: "I hope the Lakers can win the championship this year. Carter is still fighting on the court at the age of 40. If the ending is the same as mine, then I will feel very sad."

The Lakers attacked, and Rose brought the ball to the frontcourt. Kobe was still the first to come up for the roll, but before McGee made the second pick-and-roll, Marcus and Irving double-teamed Rose in advance.

Rose was too close to Kobe, and the pass was too dangerous, so he could only move in a wide range and look for opportunities.

Just at this time, Carter came out of the bottom line, Hayward was still a body away from him, and Rose passed the ball decisively.

Carter took the ball from the left wing, seemingly ignoring Hayward in front of him, and took a step forward directly, making a three-pointer.

The basketball hit the ring with a bang, and it really fell in. The Lakers scored another three points.

In the TNT live broadcast room, O'Neill looked embarrassed, as if he had been slapped by Carter.

Seeing him deflated, Kenny winked and was very unhappy, Buckley just smiled faintly.

The Celtics attacked, and Irving took the ball to the frontcourt and gave it directly to Hayward. Wouldn't he take advantage of it?
With 20 years of playing experience, Carter took a step back in an instant, not letting go.

Hayward frowned suddenly. He made 36.8% of his three-pointers in his career, and even exceeded 40% in two seasons. Who is he looking down on?You can vote, can't I vote?
I saw Hayward also took a step forward, ignoring Carter's defense, and took a shot.

clang!There was a crisp and loud iron strike.

Marcus pushed McGee away, rushed to the basket, and used brute force to grab the offensive rebound.

Kobe saw it in his eyes, and rushed to the referee to signal fouls, but the referee turned a blind eye, and Kobe kicked his feet angrily.

Fortunately, McGee returned to the defense quickly enough, and Marcus could only pass the ball back to the outside line.

Irving received the ball and organized the offense again, and Smart stepped forward to make a pick-and-roll.

Kobe happened to be very angry, so he posted it immediately, without giving Owen Xiu the time and space to operate, and directly grabbed it.

Irving pulled the ball back, but Kobe followed him everywhere, hitting from various positions with high frequency.

How embarrassing it would be for an old man who said he won't be honored to win!
Irving chose to ignore Smart, who stepped forward to respond, and continued to find space to dribble.

But Kobe's energy is coming up, it's completely at the peak defensive level, and Irving really can't move an inch.

In a blink of an eye, there were only 4 seconds left in the attack time. Irving was still dribbling the ball. Stevens watched anxiously and couldn't help shouting. Owen woke up like a dream and hurriedly pulled out his hand.

With a snap, Kobe faced the big hat, picked up the basketball and went on a fast break.

Owen was ashamed, and turned around and chased after him.

An old man, in terms of absolute speed, is naturally not as fast as a young man, Owen chased after Kobe in the blink of an eye.But the old man had teammates, Carter followed up almost at the same time, Kobe passed the ball in a hurry, and the two played 2 in the frontcourt.

Hayward defended close and confronted toughly, but Carter just shared the pressure and quickly returned the ball.

Kobe ran back from the top of the arc to receive the basketball, took out the fastest speed, and took off within the free throw line for a layup.

Irving had no chance to foul and could only watch the basketball fall into the rim.

After scoring 2 points, Kobe bent down immediately after landing, put his hands on his knees, and slowly eased his breathing.

After this set of actions, he was almost exhausted, especially the high-intensity defense of Irving for 20 seconds.

Carter smiled slightly, stepped forward and patted him on the back, pulled him up, put his arms around his shoulders, and turned to the front court together. The two were like veterans returning from the battlefield, scarred but determined.

The two walked slowly, Stevens hurriedly waved his hand to remind, Hayward served from the baseline, and Irving made a fast break.

Ordinarily in this situation, Wharton must remind him to return to the defense quickly, but he didn't, and he didn't take it seriously at all.

Seeing this, O'Neill smiled and said, "Wharton is crazy, but he is still human."

Kenny shook his head: "Kobe can guard Irving, I apologize for what I said before."

The Celtics scored on a fast break, 21 to 37, still 16 points behind.

The Lakers attacked, Rose dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and then gave it to Carter, why didn't he shoot because it felt good?
Hayward has learned a lot, and defended close to him in advance, not giving Carter room to shoot.

Seeing this, Kobe stepped forward to do a pick-and-roll.

Smart's defense is also a close defense, using all kinds of small movements such as pushing his legs and pulling the corners of his clothes.

Carter was so impatient, he directly pulled the ball sideways and pulled out his hand dryly.

The posture of the body is distorted, and the movement of the shot is also a bit ugly, but maybe because the attribute of "card three swords is the last one" took effect, the basketball hit the edge of the basket, bounced up and down twice, and fell into it in a daze.

And while he shot, the referee blew his whistle and whistled Smart for violating the cylinder.

He scored a three-pointer and added a penalty. He was so lucky that he couldn't stop it!

Amidst the boos of the audience, Carter stood on the free throw line and made a steady hit.

41 to 21, the Lakers led by 20 points, the Celtics lost all their wits and physical strength!
The momentum collapsed!

In the ensuing games, although Stevens made full use of his 'young coach' attributes, all kinds of strange tactics emerged endlessly, but every time the point difference was within 10 points, Tianyang stood up and scored consecutively to become stronger. The defense extinguished the momentum of the Celtics.

In the end, the Lakers defeated the Celtics 121-110. Tianyang scored 30 points, Kobe Bryant scored 10 points and 3 assists, and Carter scored 12 points. Seven players from the team scored in double figures and won 7 consecutive wins.

After the game, some media broke the news that a young man named Jasby had been taken away by the local police in Boston for throwing things around with billboards in the North Shore Garden Arena.

……

The Yellow-Green War has finally come to an end, but the players' game is over, and the game between the fans is not over yet.

Some Lakers fans posted on reddit, counting the key factors for winning the game.

There are three options in total: first, the core gap, Tianyang is unstoppable; second, the veteran will not die, and Kobe Carter will be taken away; third, the Celtics are too weak to be the same level as the Lakers.

The person who chose the first place was the most, accounting for 90%, and there was a reply that was liked nearly [-] times and wrote:

"The Celtics lineup is very good. There are players who can play in every position, but they lack a cornerstone player like Tianyang, so it is difficult to go further. The championship in 08 relied on KG as the cornerstone player. Excellent performance. Now the young coach Stevens has a big name and can help players become better. Thomas Jr. is a good example, but in fact it limits the upper limit of players, especially rookies. The future is worrying."

Kay fans can't bear to say that there is a lack of cornerstone players, but they can't bear to say that Stevens limits the rookie ceiling.
