Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

Because the Celtics have a better regular season record than the Lakers, this time the Finals will have one more home court than the Lakers under the 232 format, and the advantage of having one more home court is the Celtics' confidence.

It's not even just this home court advantage, because looking back to ancient times and looking at the present... the Lakers have never taken too much advantage in the hands of the Celtics. Basically, they will explode if they encounter the Celtics in the finals, and counting tomorrow In the history of the Minneapolis Lakers, the yellow and green camp had played in the finals 10 times before and lost 8 times.

Generally speaking, it is an indisputable fact that the Lakers have lost to the Celtics in the long history of history.

Even counting the two championships in the Li Shengli era, the Lakers have only won 13 championships, while the Celtics have already won 16 championships. The more important information is... In the finals, 85 years ago, the Lakers beat the Celtics. The Celtics have never won a horse, and the two times they won out of 10 were still after 1985.

Therefore, this finals is of great significance to both sides, both the team and the fans, because the Lakers' three consecutive championship dynasty is only one step away from defeating this old enemy, and the Celtics beat the Lakers and won. The more you lose, the less you lose, the stronger you are by nature.

Although no team does not want to win in the finals, but in the finals... no team has ever wanted to win so much. Thinking about the madness, thinking about the two cities of Los Angeles and Boston, they have been in a ten-point situation in the past few days. In a rare wave of championships.

…

The first game of the finals is on the 16th.

The Lakers arrived in Boston on the 14th, and those traveling together this time are sorted by time...

Lakers legend Elgin Baylor is here, because he was nailed to the shame of being in eight Finals without a championship. The culprit was the Celtics, and the Lakers were suppressed by the Celtics in the 1960s. .

Lakers general manager Jerry West is here. He is the last mark of the era when the Lakers and Celtics competed in the 1960s. When the Lakers lost in 1969, West won the FMVP and was well-known to fans. FMPV, the only losing team, thus started the situation where the Lakers encountered the Celtics in the 1970s and were beaten crazily.

Advance to the 1980s.

As representatives of the Lakers born in the 1980s, Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar are also here, because in the ten years from 70 to 80, they only allowed the Lakers to beat the Celtics twice, and these two times... It simply released all the suppressed emotions of the Lakers team in the past 40 or 50 years.

As for now...

The battle for the new generation has begun. The Lakers have already led two championships, so they face the Celtics again. To some extent, this finals is no longer a battleground between Li Shengli and O'Neal, but a historical contest between the two giants in the league.

…

The Lakers arrived in Boston early.

It’s completely different from the finals in previous years. Boston this time is so ‘amazing’.

It was green from the moment we got off the plane, and even the curtains were green when we arrived at the hotel. The entire hotel seemed to have been renovated. Green Army flags and team logos could be seen everywhere, and what was even more annoying was looking out through the hotel windows. Look...it's still green, and the green army flags are hung on the scattered buildings across the way, covering the sky and the sun.

finals?

Li Shengli has fought a lot, but it is really rare to be as wild as this.

Because it was not only a visual attack, but also an auditory impact. A large number of Celtics gathered outside the hotel, shouting loudly. The noisy Lakers generals had to raise two pitches when they spoke in the room. The sound was so loud that they all I wonder... was the external sound insulation layer of this hotel temporarily removed?

The game will be played only the day after tomorrow, why not do it today?

The game has not been played, so what will it be like when the Celtics play at home?

Li Shengli opened the curtains and took a look at the situation outside the hotel, then looked back at West and the others who came to the room to look for him in person, and their faces darkened.

This horse rider won't leave until night, right?!

What? Lee, speak louder, we can't hear you! West shouted with a serious look on his face. At this time, Baylor, Johnson, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar were also sitting in a row, nodding with ugly faces.

I said... these people won't leave at night, right? Can I still sleep?

Ah? Don't worry, they won't leave.

Damn, what should I worry about if they don't leave? Li Shengli rolled his eyes and asked: Seriously, can't we change hotels? I won't talk about these fans. At least don't be so green. I It looks uncomfortable.”

It's useless. During the Finals, everything in Boston is the same. I and the rest of us know it very well. West said.

Yes, you can't avoid it! Let me remind you, there may be fireworks at night. This is the enthusiasm of Boston people! Johnson recalled the painful away trip.

It's not just fireworks. There may be fires here at night. Of course, it's not necessarily true, but you have to rub your eyes and get up and cooperate with the evacuation of the hotel, because this kind of thing is no joke, especially in this round of the finals. In the last two games, the home court of the two Celtics is definitely... a danger! Kareem Abdul-Jabbar looked at Li Shengli, feeling a little worried, and his mood was completely different from the other three.

Are the hotels in Boston the same?

Are you going to set off fireworks and play with fire alarms at night?

Isn’t this serious? !

Li Shengli glanced at Mr. Baylor and asked, Old Baylor, what about you? Do you have nothing to say?

No, I have nothing to say, even though I am the one who is being persecuted the most here. Mr. Baylor hesitated, and finally took a deep breath and said: When the game really starts, you should know that I am How tragic, I believe that if it weren’t for them, I wouldn’t have not even won a championship, so I hope from the bottom of my heart that you won’t be like me... and fall into this hellish place.”

That's right, Li, we can't lose, we absolutely can't lose!

It's not about winning three consecutive championships, it's about us not losing to the Celtics, absolutely not!

Whether you believe it or not, this is the belief of all of us. From the day you came to the Lakers and O'Neal came to the Celtics, everyone knew... that the decisive battle between us and the Celtics in the 1990s was about to begin. ”

I, Baylor, could not beat the Celtics in the 1960s!

I, West, could not beat the Celtics in the 1970s!

I am Johnson and I am Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. We won twice in the 1980s, but that was far from enough to wash away our previous shame!

As for you...

Li, in the 1990s, you are our mark!

This is the heritage of our Lakers!

This is also our ultimate belief as Lakers.

You can't lose to O'Neal, and the Lakers can't lose to the Celtics!

I believe you can understand the legacy of the Lakers. If you fail, the two championships you win will definitely not be worth the shame of losing to the Celtics. From now on... the history of the Lakers will be written by you. !”
