The rest is just noise

Real men never look back

Hill made one of two free throws, 8-14.

After that moment, Daly did not continue to emphasize that Hill should implement the tactical arrangement.

Originally, Daly wanted to substitute him, but Hill felt that he was fine and continued to play.

Even if there is no problem, Daly still has to let him slow down, so the burden falls on the two big brothers on the inside.

Price got the ball and Sampson ran over to pick and roll. Barros hit the pick and roll wall.

Just when he was sure that this was a dead pick and roll, Sampson suddenly turned around and bounced beautifully to the left three-point line. Although Price's offensive line was intercepted by Garnett, he was already ready to pass the ball.

, and threw the ball to Sampson who was positioned on the outside.

Sampson made a three-pointer.

With his size, he can't block shots as long as he has room to shoot.

Barros's help defense was like a decoration.

"Ugh!"

11 to 14

Louis had to lament Sampson's stability.

At the age of 36, he relied on his own technical reserves to find a path that no one before him had imagined.

Sampson is now the Celtics' space five, a mid-range shooter at the free throw line, a high-post support core, and a super role player that integrates thousands of functions.

The core of the Celtics' offense and defense is Malone, but if he leaves Sampson, all Malone will do is transfer what he did in Utah to Boston.

Partnered with a super center like Sampson, Malone's performance was not affected, but he reached the best state of his career in all aspects.

"Make teammates better" is by no means an empty statement. Then, the Lakers' response was as fast as lightning.

"Benj again!!!"

I saw Wilson receiving a screen in the frontcourt and receiving the ball at the top of the arc. Although Price changed defense, he was not taken into consideration at all and directly made a three-pointer.

17 to 11

That was Wilson's 10th point of the quarter.

Louis could see that he was too eager to play in the Finals. Especially after Ewing led the Knicks to win the championship last year, he wanted to prove himself even more.

After that, both sides finished singing and I came on the stage, not giving in to each other. Malone played Barkley in low singles and finally got the chance to eat pork again. 13 to 17

Burrows called out Sampson, but missed this time.

But Garnett followed up and grabbed an offensive rebound and scored on the second attack.

19 to 13

Wilson's off-ball defense blocked Shandon Anderson, causing the Celtics' pass to go out of bounds.

Outside the three-point line at the top of the arc, Wilson, who used a hand to cover the ball, encountered an early double-team from the Celtics and reluctantly passed the ball to Barros.

Barros was in an open position and took the shot without pressure. 22 to 13

With three minutes left in the first quarter, the Lakers took the Celtics' second timeout with a 9-point advantage.

Wilson's performance was perfect. This was a dominant single quarter performance.

"Benj, do you want to rest?" Louis asked. Wilson said, "I can still fight."

"Then..." Louis stopped hiding it.

Wilson is in good form, so he should use his good form to expand the results.

The only three minutes left in the first quarter may be a stalemate for Daley that allows the Celtics to breathe, but for Louis, it is an opportunity to completely seal the game.

Because he wants to activate "Beautiful Basketball" and use these three minutes to expand the lead as much as possible.

So, except for Wilson and Garnett, the other three Lakers players on the court all left the game and were replaced by Liu Yuqing, Tragedy Master, and Nash.

"Some people may think that it's just the first quarter and it's too early to play 'Beautiful Basketball'." Louis said lightly, "This is the mentality I want to use. Who says we can't decide the outcome now? If we play well

, you can definitely win with one strike!"

After giving the instructions, Louis especially told Nash: "Don't

nervous."

Nash said, "Coach, I slept very soundly last night, and I also ate a specially prepared nutritious meal today."

"Is it delicious?" "It's very fragrant."

Louis has tasted Nash's nutritious meal, which is no different from pig food. However, being able to eat well and sleep well before the competition also indirectly shows that Nash's mentality is okay.

Daly confirmed the Lakers' lineup, and it was indeed those five people.

In other words, at this time when the situation is unclear, the Lakers must turn their small advantages into big advantages.

The Lakers have been playing "Beautiful Basketball" for almost two years, and each team's understanding of this system is still unclear.

Because the results of each team's research are inconsistent.

Some teams once thought they had figured out the trick and were preparing to stop the Lakers in the game, but it turned out to be different.

"Beautiful Basketball" has no fixed formula. Five positions can launch attacks and there are many tactical paths. Many teams gradually no longer focus on it.

Because the Lakers have no intention of normalizing this system.

However, every time the Lakers decided to use it, his opponents were facing a formidable enemy.

Daley's heart was in his throat. He had just replaced Sampson to rest.

Is it really okay if there is no Sampson on the court during this period?

Daley decided to observe for a minute before making a decision.

If Daley had known how much could happen in a minute, he would have made a completely different decision.

It took the Celtics 15 seconds to execute the tactics. Price got a shot, but he couldn't find the feeling to shoot. He missed and the rebound was taken by the tragedy maker.

The Celtics never thought that their retreat speed was just a little late, and the tragedy maker threw a long pass with one hand as confidently as a quarterback.

Wilson picked up the ball in the frontcourt and looked forward, but threw the ball to the left.

The man who was always meticulous positioned himself outside the left three-point line to catch the ball.

Liu Yuqing shot a three-pointer!

That was his first shot in the finals.

Maybe it felt so good to take action, but for this precious first time, he didn't even look at it, turned around and went back to defense.

"Ugh!!!"

"You can always believe Jiang Duo's three-pointer. This goal shattered all the rumors that he would not perform well in the finals!" "It's amazing. He retreated after taking the shot and didn't watch the ball at all!"

"This will be a scene that will go down in history!" 25 to 13

The score difference reached 12 points.

Daley began to wonder, should he call a timeout?

The Celtics have called two timeouts before. Even if there are many timeouts in basketball games, that's not how they are used.

Daly's question lasted for 10 seconds. When Wilson led Price in the frontcourt and forced the opponent to make a mistake with a pressing defense that seemed to be a foul, the forum went crazy.

The fans obviously went crazy too early, because after Wilson stole Price and faced Hill's defense, he collected the ball directly and scored with a dunk in the air through Devil Mountain's body.

When Devil Mountain's body fell due to the irresistible force of the impact, the referee's whistle sounded, and his gesture clearly indicated - the offender, Grant Hill!

"Is this beautiful?" Louis said proudly, "This is beautiful, but it can be more beautiful!"

Daly knew that calling three timeouts in one quarter was not a good idea, but he also knew that if this timeout was not called, the Lakers might widen the point difference to a terrifying number.

They must interrupt its progress before it becomes a reality.

So, the Celtics called the third timeout of the first quarter.

At this time, Louis once again judged that the Celtics might use the Tragedy Division as a breakthrough point to launch an attack after the timeout.

Make corresponding arrangements for the three situations in which the Celtics may have a tragedy guard against Malone, Hill calls a tragedy coach, and Price calls a tragedy hero.

Now, the Lakers lead by 14 points. If Wilson hits the extra free throw, it will be 15 points. And if the Celtics' first offense after the timeout is blocked again,

The blow to their overall morale would be huge.

Wilson felt stable and made an extra free throw. 28 to 13

The result did not surprise Louis. Hill held the ball at the top of the arc and called the fourth position for a pick-and-roll.

The Lakers, who had been prepared for this for a long time, started a series of defensive performances that did not look like the perfect one they could produce.

In order to hide the tragedy, the Lakers asked Garnett to follow Malone out.

Then, if Hill wants to go in the pick-and-roll direction, he has to face Garnett.

He naturally knew that Garnett was difficult to deal with, so he called for a pick-and-roll at No. 1, hoping to order Nash.

At this time, the Lakers' defensive formation is no longer as clear as before.

After the confusion of a pick-and-roll attack, everyone's positions changed.

These changes were all part of Louis' previous arrangements.

However, Hill failed to name the tragedy maker, and switching to Nash was not part of the plan. The chaos in the defensive line has advantages and disadvantages for both sides. Chaos represents an opportunity. The offense can take the opportunity to find gaps, and the defense can also take advantage of the chaos.

Take decisive measures.

Spirituality is needed at this time, sticking to the rules will only lead to defense failure.

Garnett ignored Malone, who was moving inward, and used his body to cover Hill's suitability. Before the Celtics' pick-and-roll tactics at the first position were implemented, he suddenly attacked Devil Mountain.

The terrible defensive pressure caused Hill to pass the ball in a panic. Nash, who was regarded as a rookie, happened to block Hill's passing route.

"Grant Hill passed the ball to Steve Nash!"

"The Lakers are on the fast break!"

"Jiang Duo has already passed half the race!"

"Steve! Oh! Incredible pass, frontcourt, Jiang Duo's fast break opportunity... three-pointer! He shot a three-pointer!"

Liu Yuqing hasn't felt this way for a long time.

His hand felt so hot that he was confident that he would risk his entire fortune on the accuracy of this shot.

And the direct manifestation of this infinite confidence is that he didn't even look at the ball he threw, and turned around directly.

Behind him, the basketball shot through the net with incomparable accuracy!
