The rest is just noise

In the early years, due to the Celtics' monopoly on championships and their undefeated legend of completing comebacks no matter where they fell, their opponents created a rumor.

There are ghosts in the Boston Garden, specifically green elves, whose main function is to curse the teams that come here.

Jerry West may be the only one who feels its presence.

Otherwise, his team would not have lost to the Celtics ten times in the Finals.

This also leads to the fact that he almost never comes to Boston with the team to watch games.

But tonight is an exception.

The Lakers defeated the Celtics 3-0 in the Finals. The curse left over from the 1960s is very likely to be broken tonight. As the vice president of the Lakers, it is his duty to come to the scene.

Even West is convinced that the Celtics are dead.

3-0, there is no way it will be overturned.

This gave West a bolder idea. Maybe it was not the Lakers who were cursed, but him?

He had an unfortunate childhood, his brother died young, he was abused by his father, and he became a paranoid perfectionist under the influence of his mother.

It was as if God was deliberately playing a joke on him, allowing him, a person who pursues perfection in everything, to have an imperfect game in every aspect.

In his playing career, if he could score 2 more points in five of these games, he would have won six championships instead of one.

This troubled him deeply.

He felt that he was the culprit that made the Lakers unlucky, so he was also worried that his arrival would prevent the Lakers from winning the championship tonight.

Dr. Buss and the rest of the management were in the audience, but he was alone in the locker room watching the game live on a black and white TV.

When the Lakers were defeated by the Celtics in the opening game, West roared: "Is this how the ball is played? What the hell is Louie doing? Why doesn't he adjust? Damn it! Damn it! I can't fucking stay here

here!"

West roared angrily, kicked open the door of the locker room, walked into the player tunnel, and came to the entrance angrily. At this time, the Lakers had just completed their adjustments, and Wilson came up to score consecutively, allowing the Celtics to

Called a timeout.

"Thank God! This is how we have to fight!"

West said emotionally.

Louis saw him: "Jerry?"

"Don't talk to me!" West seemed to have a problem with Louis, "Don't fucking talk to me! Treat me as if I don't exist! Do your own thing!"

Well, Louis turned around and was about to go about his business when he heard West scream: "Keep Ralph fucking Sampson alive!"

Then Sampson scored easily.

West screamed again with great dissatisfaction.

Louis looked at him playfully: "How about you find a place to sit first?"

"Do your own thing and leave me alone."

West really thought that with him as a humanoid noise machine by his side, Louis could still do his own thing well.

"How can I do anything while you are here? Either find a place for me to sit down, or tell me to go back and forth wherever I want, get out of here!" Louis said angrily.

West looked at Louis resentfully.

At this time, Wang Mukong, who was still staying stably in DNP tonight, stood up consciously: "Jerry, you can sit here."

"It fits perfectly. I can just sit on the floor. I like sitting on the floor the most. It's as smooth as a baby's skin."

Louis ignored them both.

For players like Wang Mukong, if they want to survive in the NBA, the key is not their strength, but their communication skills as a team member.

Just from the few words he exchanged with West, Louis could conclude that this guy had frequent contacts with the LOGO man in private.

This is an excellent thing.

Some people who are stronger than Wang Mukong, train harder than him, and are far more professional than him may be eliminated by the league early, but Wang Mukong will not.

He can play in the NBA until the day he doesn't want to.

The NBA is not just about fighting and killing, it is also about human relations.

The game on the court is also developing in the Lakers' favor.

The Lakers gradually found the feeling of the game. Unlike at the beginning because they wanted to play well, they just couldn't do it no matter how hard they played.

But after all, the Celtics once led by 15 points. Although they were chased by consecutive points, they were still able to maintain the lead before the end of the first quarter.

29 to 22

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers trailed the Celtics by 7 points on the road.

In NBC's live commentary box, Bob Costas asked Laimbeer: "Bill, do you think the Celtics can win this honor-related game?"

Laimbeer smiled bitterly. Rather than saying this is a game about honor, it is better to say that this is a game that determines whether the Celtics can sell all their home tickets.

If the finals can be postponed to the fifth game, no matter what the result is, all the Celtics' home tickets for this season will be sold. From an economic perspective, it will be a sure profit.

Because the championship does not bring much economic bonus to the Celtics.

But of course he would not say this out loud. He only focused on the game and said matter-of-factly: "It's difficult. Although I don't want to admit it, the Lakers are better than the Celtics in every aspect. This is why they only lost in the playoffs.

The reason for two games is that as long as they get back to their previous form, a 7-point lead is not enough to ensure a victory."

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Celtics replaced Sampson and kept Malone and Hill on the court.

This is the lesson of Game3.

Because Hill has proven that even if he holds a double-digit lead, he cannot hold on to it. Therefore, keeping one more Malone is one more guarantee.

Louis replaced Wilson and Liu Yuqing, who played the entire first quarter, replaced Dumars and Kobe, and then replaced Barkley for Tragedy, and the rest remained unchanged.

In this way, the Lakers' starting lineup for the second quarter is Barros, Dumars, Kobe, Barkley, and Rodman.

A lineup that lacks height and is risky both offensively and defensively.

This can be regarded as a rectification, but Louis is not afraid of trouble, because the Celtics' second lineup is even more unbearable.

There was a 7-point difference between the two sides. In the first few rounds, neither side was feeling lucky, and they were constantly fighting.

Then, Dumars got angry and dribbled to the frontcourt to greet Rodman for a pick-and-roll. Like a snake, he dribbled into the penalty area and twisted in the air for a layup.

Hit the board!

24 to 29

"It has to be JD!" Louis stood up excitedly, "Good shot, get back on defense and prevent them from scoring!"

Malone attempted to kill a pig, but just as he was about to take action, he was flanked by Rodman and made a mistake.

Kobe picked up the ball and was about to counterattack when he was violently fouled by Shanton Anderson.

"Want to fight back? Dream on!"

Anderson shouted loudly, as if he thought he could frighten someone in this way.

Kobe raised his eyebrows when he heard this. One of his problems is that the more his opponents don't want him to do something, the more he will do it. Ellis said that this is why he is a bastard, and Louis said that this is his rebellious period.

arrive.

Rebellious period? He likes this word. If you are not rebellious, your youth is useless.

He didn't say anything when Ellis and Louis talked about him. They were all respected and authoritative figures in their respective positions. What was this Shanton Anderson?

In the frontcourt, the Lakers started running tactics step by step.

When the ball is transferred to Kobe's hands, he should pass it out to move the strategy to the next stage.

"High school boy?"

Barkley is already in position, but what does it mean if this guy doesn't pass the ball?

Kobe took the ball two or three steps inside the left three-point line, took a probing step to shake Anderson away, and then made no other moves. He just pulled out the ball and took a decisive shot.

"How dare you?!!"

Barkley yelled, and then the ball hit the ball.

Kobe ignored Anderson's angry look, turned to Barkley and said: "Chuck, you should trust your teammates!"

"I believe you, you idiot, just try to ignore me and go it alone!"

As long as the shot is made, it is a good shot, so Barkley's tone is not harsh, but a bit pretentious and threatening.

As for the coaching staff off the court, they have no attitude towards this matter.

If Kobe doesn't mess around, he's still Kobe, right?

No one really thinks that he has changed his mind just because he played a good game a few days ago, right?

Within a few words, the Celtics' counterattack had reached the frontcourt. Grant Hill had a completely different look tonight. The weakness and hesitation in the previous games had all disappeared, replaced by tenacity and fierceness that were inconsistent with his personality.

Devil Mountain made two consecutive changes of direction to fix Kobe's center of gravity in the high post. He drove the ball to the basket and was knocked down by Rodman. However, when the touch disappeared, he still found the basket and put the basket in to score.

"And One!!!"

"Grant should have fought like this a long time ago! He has the ability to do anything if he wants to!"

Some people don't need to be praised.

Ten seconds after Ranbir let out his rainbow fart, Hilga missed the free throw.

Rodman rose from the ground and grabbed the rebound. His eyes had already turned forward. He saw the Lakers' No. 8, who always only wanted to be in the limelight. He didn't take anyone seriously except Benj, but was paid extra attention by Coach Lu.

, regarded as the future of the team, Kobe Bryant.

"Shaobao!" Rodman roared and threw a long pass, "put on a good show!"

Kobe caught the ball and there was no one in front of him. He held the ball forward with confidence. Just like Rodman said, he dedicated a good show to the audience around the world.

He jumped up, twirled the basketball, changed hands from his hips, and then completed the split dunk. The whole process was smooth and smooth, like a perfect masterpiece. Even his landing posture was as perfect as a poster.

The Celtics requested a timeout, and the on-site cameraman kept taking pictures of No. 8.

At this moment, the world is focused on this.
