I'm really good at shooting.

"Calm down, man, Boston is your last resort right now, even if they can't help you."

What Barkley said next made Jordan shake his head.

Speaking of which, Barkley forcibly made the bet with Smith. Playing a partner with Barkley is really a dangerous job.

Smith has turned his head and pretended not to hear what Barkley was saying.

Barkley couldn't stop laughing when he saw it, then turned around and asked Jordan's opinion.

Jordan spread his hands, that means you two are messing with you two, don't take me.

At this moment, players from both sides entered the arena one after another.

Jordan looked over to the Lakers.

Jones kicked the Wizards out of the game. As a small boss, Jordan, it must be unrealistic for you to say that he is not upset with the Celtics.

An enemy's enemy is a friend, not to mention Sun Hao's relationship.

So although he didn't express his position just now, he must support the Lakers.

When he saw the high-spirited faces of the Lakers, he felt physically and mentally at ease.

Waiting for work with ease, I am most afraid of losing my state.

But now it seems that there is absolutely no need to have that kind of worry!

On the court, after the two teams completed the pre-match warm-up, they entered the opening ceremony immediately.

The starting lineups of both sides have been released one after another.

Celtics: Rondo, Ray Allen, Pierce, Garnett, Perkins.

The standard starting lineup is also the one they use the most.

Lakers: Sun Hao, Hill, Posey, Walker, O'Neal.

Phil Jackson made minor tweaks to the starting lineup, replacing Ariza with a more in-form Posey.

When the two sides started their debut, the scene kept showing several super giant shots.

This star-studded yellow-green battle is about to begin!

After Garnett came on the court, he began to hammer his chest with his fist again, took a long breath, and then prepared to jump the ball with O'Neal.

"beep!"

A whistle sounded on the sidelines, and with the cheers of the fans, Garnett took the lead and swung the ball back to the Celtics half.

The curtain of the finals is officially opened!

Rondo took possession of the ball to the frontcourt, and the Celtics began to run textbook positional warfare.

Ray Allen ran the baseline and borrowed Pierce and Garnett's pick-and-roll consecutively.

After Pierce and Garnett blocked, they bounced outside and cut inside.

The Celtics' entire offensive system is full of three-dimensionality.

In terms of positional warfare alone, the Celtics threw the Nuggets, which had previously played against the Lakers, a few blocks away.

And in terms of tactical aesthetics, it is definitely ranked first in history.

Rondo's defensive reading was very successful. After seeing Ray Allen contain the Lakers' defensive focus, he turned his head and passed the ball to Pierce.

Pierce received the ball, shook Posey with a three-point fake, and then took a step in, with a comfortable rhythm.

However, Posey has rich defensive experience, and he didn't fully jump up at the first shot. He returned to the defensive position and interfered with Pierce the moment he shot.

"when!"

Pierce's first shot was not able to hit!

There was a scramble for the basket, Garnett and O'Neal tapped the board consecutively, and the ball was stabbed back into the air several times.

The ball was still in the air, but there was constant physical confrontation on the ground, and Perkins quickly joined the hand-to-hand combat.

It doesn't look like basketball, it looks like football.

In the end, Garnett grabbed the defensive rebound with his long arm, turned around and shot against O'Neal's long arm.

"Snapped!"

O'Neal's block hit Garnett's hands.

The bottom line referee whistled, signaling O'Neal's defensive foul.

Garnett's shot was interfered with, but he still completed the shot.

The ball hit the back edge of the basket, bounced twice and fell into the net bag.

This is a 2+1!

After the goal, Garnett beat his chest and roared, emotional!

The start of the Celtics is a bit tough!

Garnett went to the free throw line, adjusted, and made a free throw against the interference.

0 is better than 3!

The Celtics turned against the guests and took the lead!

Sun Hao pushed forward with the ball, and Rondo spread both hands to form a net, blocking all his attacking routes.

Sun Hao looked up and observed the defense.

The Celtics started the game man-to-man.

He beckons O'Neal to pull up high for the pick-and-roll.

After dismantling, the Celtics chose to double-team Sun Hao, and Sun Hao successfully predicted the ball to O'Neal.

O'Neal took the ball and broke through inside.

But at this time Garnett showed his excellent defensive ability. In the shouts of Rivers from the sidelines, he had already helped defend to the basket in advance.

One-on-one between "Big Shark" and "Wolf King".

Knowing Garnett's flexibility, O'Neal chose a one-on-one attack.

Garnett is very smart, dodging to avoid O'Neal's power point, and then quickly shot.

"Snapped!"

After the PK between the two was full of details, Garnett successfully slapped the ball away from O'Neal!

Pierce and Posey rushed towards the ball almost at the same time, and there was a fierce competition for the ball on the floor.

In the end, Pierce controlled the ball, and Posey was called for a foul again.

Seeing the referee's gesture, Pierce jumped up excitedly from the ground.

In the opening attack and defense, the Celtics had the upper hand!

The Celtics played again in the frontcourt, and Rondo still gave the ball to Pierce.

This time, Pierce showed his style of a rhythm master. After a fake move, he went to the basket, facing O'Neal's help defense, he took his time and stepped back and made a jumper from close range.

"Shh!"

Basketball hits the net!

If you choose a small forward in the league's history, Pierce must be second to none!

0 is better than 5!

The Celtics started like a rainbow!

"It suddenly occurred to me that maybe Boston played longer in each series on purpose because they needed to stay in shape."

Smith turned his head to look at Barkley seriously at this time and said.

His words immediately came to Buckley's eyes with contempt.

Barkley didn't object, though.

Because from the beginning to now, the Celtics are indeed in a better state on both ends of the offense and defense than the Lakers.

This is also to be expected.

The Celtics have just finished the tie-break with the Wizards, and their bodies and condition are at their best.

But the Lakers haven't played a game for nearly a week, and their state will definitely be slower.

If analyzed in this way, what Smith said is also correct.

"Shh!"

But at this moment, Sun Hao received a point from O'Neal without the ball, and his hands went up and down from outside the three-point line!

It doesn't matter if you get up slowly, because the Lakers have Sun Hao!

Barkley didn't say anything at this time, just looked at Smith.

Give you a look and experience it yourself!

Jordan couldn't help shaking his head.

The battle between the two in the commentary booth was more intense than the competition on the field.

"Defense! Defense!"

In the finals, the emotions of the fans also rose quickly.

Just after Sun Hao hit the three-pointer, the scene has already started to burst into cheers and cheers.

Ray Allen made a three-pointer after receiving a pass from Rondo after running.

"when!"

Hill, who was chasing defense, flew forward to interfere, and hit the basket with a three-pointer.

The ball was a long rebound, and Garnett snatched it into his arms with his long arm, and after confronting O'Neal, he shot under the basket.

"Snapped!"

"Big Shark" is not the one to be bullied by others. He was given a 2+1 in front of him. The ball was merciless and directly blocked Garnett's shot back!

It was Pierce again, diving to grab the floor ball, and quickly threw it to Garnett.

Garnett took the ball and chose the hook after the confrontation this time.

"Snapped!"

But O'Neal successfully predicted and blocked the ball again! !

He covered Garnett twice in a row! ! !

It exploded right away.

"Big Shark", grow old and strong!

Sun Hao was also surprised and delighted.

This is Garnett in the first round!

Honor does sometimes deceive, though.

Garnett's speed at this time has dropped a lot compared to his peak.

Inside players are the most obvious decline with age, and O'Neal can't violate this rule, and Garnett can't escape it.

Of course, more importantly, the best way for Garnett to beat O'Neal is actually... well, you must have guessed it, the iron-blooded jumper.

That's the technique that can best use his dislocation advantage, but maybe the 2+1 at the beginning made him feel like he was doing it again, and he suffered a series of losses in the end!

Sun Hao got the ball quickly this time, and the Celtics' offense stopped!

Then advance to the frontcourt, Sun Hao and O'Neal pick and roll, the Celtics continue to double-team Sun Hao, and Sun Hao continues to feed O'Neal.

O'Neal turned around for a layup, Garnett's help defense blocked the block, he hugged O'Neal and sent O'Neal to the free throw line!

O'Neal's free throw opportunity.

He adjusted his breathing, and still made a free throw with one hand on his hip.

"when!"
