legendary point guard

"Dwight missed the two most critical free throws, but Wood stood up. When he rushed inside from outside the three-point line, when he redirected the ball into the basket through Kevin and fell to the floor.

.

I know that Wood's desire for victory, reaching the Finals, and the O'Brien Cup is no less than that of Boston's Big Three.

Competitive sports are so cruel, no one will pity their opponents, the winner takes all is the eternal truth of competitive sports, and history will always remember the winner."

"For Boston, this result is too cruel to accept, but no matter how uncomfortable it is, they can only accept it.

Returning to Boston with the advantage of conquering the Waterhouse Center gave all Boston fans hope, but the reality is so cruel.

Two home games, two extremely crucial home games, were lost. Although it is not the end, for Boston, this result basically means elimination.

Heroes always grow old. Even if we don't want to accept this fact, we still have to accept it and hope that Boston can continue." Hoffman took over Bill Walton's words.

North Shore Garden Arena, the oldest arena in NBA history, has witnessed sixty years of NBA history. Celtics fans who have always longed to return to the top looked at the scores on the big screen with bitterness in their hearts.

At the beginning of the season, the jerseys of championships and retired players flying above the arena gave Celtic fans hope. After the long regular season, fans were even more looking forward to the O'Brien Cup.

Although they stumbled in the first two rounds of the playoffs and failed to win a single away game, they finally reached the stage of the Eastern Conference Finals as the fans hoped.

And they won a valuable away victory at the Water House Center, but the precious away victory did not last long. Two home losses were just like Bill Walton and others said, the end was over.

Lin Sen, who scored 40 points in a single game and completed the most critical tip-in, was interviewed by Erin Andrews.

Ray Allen, who scored the game-high 44 points, became Lin Sen's best bet.

…

Although the Eastern and Western Conference finals are not over yet, the media in Los Angeles and Orlando are already looking forward to the peak showdown between the two sides.

On June 4, the fourth game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the San Antonio Spurs kicked off.

The Los Angeles Lakers, who had previously led 2:1, ushered in their second away game. The San Antonio Spurs, who struggled to hold on to their home court in the last game, were naturally not willing to lose at their home court. Once they lost another 1:3 in this game, they would face the Boston Celtics.

It's like saying goodbye to this season's competition.

For the Spurs, who have always hoped to defend their title, they naturally do not want to say goodbye like this.

The main reason why the Lakers lost the last away game was that everyone else on the Lakers, except Kobe, performed abnormally. Odom, Gasol and Fisher were all out of shape.

After seeing the Magic's victory, Kobe faced reporters and issued a declaration to join forces with the Orlando Magic.

At the beginning of the game, Gasol and Radmanovic hit the basket one after another at the beginning. Kobe also hit two shots after that. The Lakers started with 12:4.

The Lakers once expanded their lead to double digits in the first quarter. In the end, the Spurs, who were playing at home, trailed 23:28 at the end of the first quarter.

Kobe was in excellent form in the first quarter, scoring 8 points on 4 of 5 shots. Gasol and Radmanovic, who had poor performance in the previous game, also scored 6 points each.

At the halfway point of the second quarter, the Lakers once again pulled the point difference to double digits. However, as the game continued, veteran Brent Barry stood up again and hit another three-pointer.

"San Antonio is not willing to end like this. In fact, I would rather be with the Los Angeles Lakers." Billups said with a smile.

"Dwight, who do you think Wood wants to meet?" Grant Hill pushed Howard.

Last year's trip to the Finals was a miserable one for Howard, who played poorly under the care of Duncan and Oberto.

"I guess Wood wants to meet San Antonio. In fact, I also want to meet the Spurs. I want to tell them that I will prove myself again." Howard said firmly.

On the screen, the Spurs launched a 12:2 attack wave and tied the score to 43:43 in one fell swoop. In nearly 4 minutes, the Lakers only made one shot.

"I want to meet San Antonio, but we haven't entered the finals yet." Lin Sen smiled and shook his head.

The team is now leading 3:1, but is not 100% qualified yet. The morale of the team has been obviously high since last night, but while it is high, it also shows a relaxed mentality.

Although such a mentality is good, it is likely to cause the team to become a romantic rival. Facing a strong team like the Celtics, once a rival is in love, it will pay a heavy price.

However, the most important Argentinian demon on the Spurs bench failed to stand up. Compared with the last game where he showed great power, this game was extremely sluggish.

Kobe began to show off his power 2 minutes before the end of the first half. Kobe even hit the buzzer at the end of the first half, helping the Lakers end the first half with 53:47.

"Why is Manu in such bad shape today? Did he work too hard last night? Will 0 points make Greg Veach crazy?" Artest said with a smile.

The camera on the screen showed **Vicci's face, **Vicci made a face, and Ginobili completely ignored it and walked over.

"Haha, look at Greg's ugly face." Artest pointed at Vicki and said with a smile.

The game was very tense. In the second half, the Lakers finally widened the point difference. The Spurs once again worked hard to chase points and tied the score at 65:65.

At the end of the third quarter, Ginobili scored 2 points with free throws. At the end of the third quarter, the Spurs trailed 70:77.

"Is Brent Barry crazy today? Is the three-pointer so accurate?" Howard couldn't help but said. On the screen, Barry hit a three-pointer at the beginning of the fourth quarter, helping the Spurs score 5 points in a row and narrow the gap to 2

point.

Lin Sen looked at the Spurs, who had been lagging behind. He really hoped that the Spurs could overtake the Lakers and enter the finals.

Unfortunately, Lin Sen's idea did not come true. The Spurs, who had chased the point difference to only two points, were in trouble and failed to score a point in the past three minutes.

The Lakers opened the gap to 88:79 with 3 minutes and 29 seconds left in the game. After the timeout, the Spurs hit a three-pointer by Brent Barry, narrowing the gap to 6 points.

However, just when Lakers fans thought the Spurs were doomed to lose, the Spurs adopted foul tactics. After Gasol missed two free throws, Ginobili finally hit a three-pointer. Then Parker made a layup, and the Spurs had 28.1 left in the game.

Only 91:93 behind in seconds.

"San Antonio won't win in the end, right?" Before Billups could finish his words, veteran fisherman Fisher made a "three-no-stick" shot with 5.6 seconds left in the game.

"No, no, Robert knocked the ball out." Lin Sen shook his head. Horry knocked the ball out of bounds, which gave the Lakers a chance.

However, this time the Lakers only had 2 seconds left to attack. Kobe shot immediately after catching the ball and missed the shot again.

This left the Spurs with 2.1 seconds of attack time. For the Spurs, they had many key players. However, in the end, the shot opportunity was given to Brent Barry, who had a hot touch in this game.

Unfortunately, Barry's final three-pointer missed the frame, and the Spurs fans at the scene were depressed.

"It looks like we are really going to play against the Lakers!" Howard exclaimed. If we meet the Lakers, the Lakers will be without Anzu Bynum inside, and the pressure will be much less.

Although he wanted to prove himself with the Spurs, he was actually secretly happy to meet the Lakers, who were more likely to let him perform.

"Wood, that guy Bryant is not easy to deal with. You must be defending him. What I can help you is to deal with him on the defensive end. Although it is not easy, Sean and I will try our best." Artest said.

He patted Lin Sen.

Shane nodded: "Ron and I are under greater pressure."

Lin Sen looked at Artest and Battier with a smile: "I can also play against Bryant, I am faster."

This sentence is not a joke, Lin Sen himself does have this idea, and Lin Sen also played against Kobe in the regular season against the Lakers, both on the defensive and offensive ends.

Most of the time, defense against Kobe ended in failure, but Lin Sen didn't care about failure. His experience on the defensive end was accumulated from defense after defense.

He has learned a lot of defensive experience from Billups and Artest Battier this year, but it will take some time for Linson to transform the defensive skills he has learned into his abilities on the defensive end.

However, Lin Sen has absolute confidence in his improvement on the defensive end. Although he is not tall enough, his speed and reaction ability are unique.

His talent in this area means that as long as he studies hard, he will be able to practice defense one day. As for how far he can practice, it depends on Lin Sen's own destiny.

With the end of Game 4 of the Eastern and Western Conference Finals between the Lakers and Spurs, the entire league has basically reached a consensus that the Magic will compete with the Lakers for this year's championship.

However, the Magic, who returned to Orlando, lost their fifth game at home. Just as Lin Sen said, the Magic underestimated the opponent, while the Celtics tried their best.

In the second half, the Magic tried to rise up but lost their touch. Although Lin Sen scored 34 points, his shooting percentage was only 44%. There was a big gap from before, but he was already the Magic's best performer.

The Big Three scored 88 points together. The three defeated the Magic and chased the total score to 2:3. However, this game also completely awakened the Magic, and the Lakers returned to their home court and did not follow the Magic's old path of winning at home.

Defeated the Spurs 100:92 and took the lead in entering the finals.

In Game 6, the Big Three were eager to continue their victory, dragging the game into Game 7 and then performing the miracle of winning three consecutive games, but Lin Sen did not give the Celtics a chance.

He scored 18 points in the first quarter. In the first half, Lin Sen made 7 three-pointers by himself and scored 33 points.

In the second half, Lin Sen still felt hot and scored 25 points again in the second half.

He scored a career-high 58 points in the playoffs in a single game. It was these 58 points that helped the Magic defeat the Celtics in the away game and enter the finals to officially join the Lakers. (To be continued...)
