In the half-time interview, Garnett's voice sounded like a beast roaring and was angry: one was because he was out of breath and sweated like a slurry; the other was because the people around him were full of noise.

Anyone who goes to a Shura Field with a sound of killing sounds will find that he can no longer hear his own voice.

And this storm was stirred up by Garnett himself.

His offense is not absolutely strong.

In the Lakers' opinion, Garnett's offensive threat is not strong. Compared with Pierce and Ray Allen, they are more willing to lock these two people and give the former a comfortable offensive space.

Because Garnett is in love with jump shots, when he first entered the league, he was worried that he would beat O'Neal, so he lowered his height and was arranged by the coach to play as a small forward.

Although his small forward career laid the foundation for Garnett's subsequent 20105 average for many years, he is finally determined to play inside. Minnesota's years of bitter cold made him deeply understand how important a good teammate is.

So he just came to the Celtics and then announced his contract renewal after looking at the team's lineup.

As a result, the team's performance exceeded expectations, achieved the best record in the league and reached the finals.

In Garnett's first finals of his career, he put pressure on the Lakers like crazy.

He successfully led his teammates to a Celtic first half.

The strategy of the Celtics relying on to deal with LeBron James is quite useful when dealing with the Lakers. Except for a moment in the second quarter, the defense was quickly retreated at other times, and the Lakers were forced to fight in positions; Perkins, Garnett and PJ Brown protected the penalty area and quickly moved across the crossing to make up for defense.

Under such a line defense, Derek Fisher and Radmanovic can do nothing.

Fisher left a helpless picture in the first half: he spins on the left wing for a while, but he stubbornly spins when he can pass the ball to the bottom line of the left wing, and then passes the ball to the inside... Gasol luckily caused a foul.

This picture does not reflect Fisher's awareness of feeding the ball, nor Gasol's ability to make fouls, but the Celtics' response to the transfer of the ball so quickly that except for Fisher's direct pass and Kobe's cross, Wei Xia's left and right wing responses, and at other moments, the passes lack nutrition. In terms of strong attack, except Kobe, the Lakers do not have a clear advantage in positioning.

Kobe was overly cautious.

He made 13 moves in the middle of the game. After experiencing a poor start, he restrained his desire to attack. Half of these moves were caused by the Lakers who really couldn't find a chance to force the ball to him.

Wei Xia's offense did not leave much impression, but his defense was pretty good.

After playing against him at halftime, Ray Allen only got 8 phone shots, hitting 2 goals, one 21, and one buzzer-beating three-pointer from the right bottom corner.

Except for 21, buzzer-beating three-pointers is a powerless offense.

Wei Xia restricted his opponent just as he did before.

However, Pierce and Garnett, Rondo, plus PJ Brown and others, the frontcourt advantage established by these people has caused the Lakers to lose too many offensive rebounds.

The Lakers' overall shooting percentage is above the Celtics, but the score is behind.

54 to 49

The Lakers are 5 points behind the Celtics.

In the locker room, Phil Jackson pointed out several questions about the Lakers.

"I must say that your offense is not a problem. Indeed, our shooting percentage is very low, but please believe that there is no problem with our offense." Jackson's tone was heavy, "What's the problem? It's on the defensive end! We have lost our vitality!"

"You guys let Boston grab 10 offensive rebounds in the halftime, and these offensive rebounds gave them 10 extra offensive rounds, and they only led us by five points after these rounds." Jackson's words were full of power, "Listen, the fight for rebounds requires harder! They may be taller, stronger, more experienced, but we are younger!"

Listening to Jackson's words, everyone was excited, but entering the game was another matter.

The Lakers are 5 points behind the Celtics. They are heading towards the goal of chasing points from the second half.

They just want to attack, but the intensity of the defensive end has not continued.

He was too persistent in rebounding, so he made continuous low-level mistakes that he did not look at people for the sake of rebounding.

Paul Pierce, like the top stars in Celtic history who are not as good as superstars like Kobe, played a representative quarter in his first finals of his career.

Following the incredible reversal in the 2002 Eastern Conference Finals and the 41 points in the rivalry against the Chosen Son, it once again showed why Larry Bird and Haflicek thought he was a guy with the bones of the old Celtics.

Over the past few years, year after year, he may be the least privileged player in the league. He maintained a noble character in a 33-win team and never gave up on his own to vent his grievances.

In the third quarter, he scored 15 points with 100% shooting percentage, including 3 three-pointers.

When he threw in those three threes, his congratulations were the same as before: his bored chest clapped and his roared.

He had too few ways of venting emotions, leaving behind as many gorgeous celebrations as Wade. Because he rarely tried to vent.

He has been looking for such an opportunity to release himself reasonably and restrainedly. As he has been doing everything on the offensive end since he entered the industry in 1998, he did not need to be more crafted and just needed to do his best, but he suppressed himself for ten years.

So, when the stage that was finally suitable for his size appeared, he did what the Celtics deserved to do: he first arrived at this stage, but he seemed to have been skilled for a long time.

Moreover, the person who was beaten by Pierce had a very meaningful name.

League No. 1 Kobe Bryant.

The Celtics led by Pierce had a fierce attack in the second quarter. Except for Garnett, who had a poor touch and 2 of 6 shots, everyone was influenced by the former and insisted on using "truth" to convince people.

Ray Allen swept away the downturn in the first half.

Facing Wei Xia's defense is no longer just running without the ball, but also taking the initiative to attack the penalty area with the ball, causing Wei Xia to commit two fouls.

He made 2 of 4 shots in a single quarter, and all of them were 3 points, and there were also damage caused by breakthroughs. He followed Pierce at 8 points in a single quarter.

The Celtics' scores are focused on the Big Three and Rondo.

The Lakers are even more extreme.

Although Kobe is not as efficient as Pierce, he must take over the offense when Paul Gasol and Garnett die together.

He made 5 of 10 shots in a single quarter, scored 12 points, and had 50% of the shooting percentage. In fact, it was OK, but there were too few free throws.

Kobe's offense relies too much on his feel and does not rush to the basket to cause damage, which will seriously damage his efficiency.

This is the secret that he will not be able to compare with all superstars on the table in the future.

But the reason why he did not commit fouls has nothing to do with his own personality, his skills, or his abilities.

Michael Jordan's breakthrough ability is well known to the world. No one should object to it. He said that he is a better breakthrough player than Kobe.

He has had a total of two seasons in his career, which is all in the 1980s.

That is, the championship-free season.

What about Kobe, whose breakthrough ability is not as good as Jordan? He averaged double free throws per game in three seasons, which were the three seasons before the 2007-08 season.

It's also a championship-free season.

Even Kobe averaged 9 free throws per game this season, higher than any of Jordan's championship seasons.

Jordan's first championship-winning season averaged 8.2 free throws per game in 1990-91, which was the highest point after he started the dominant season. Since then, his average free throws per game has never been higher than this number.

Kobe and Jordan have several things in common.

They all played for Zen masters, they all sacrificed a lot for triangular offense, and they all gave up the most comfortable offensive mode in order to get their teammates into it.

OK During the three consecutive championships, he had the highest low-level killer in history as a teammate. Kobe only needed to be an epic 3D that could take over the game at any time to achieve his dominance. After the Shark left, it was not easy to lead the team alone. In order to cater to the Zen master's tactics, he needed to catch a lot of balls at high and low positions.

That is where he concentrates his firepower and attacks, because the role players need to create opportunities from the core. There is no saying that three-pointers can open up space at the moment, so Kobe needs to accommodate his teammates.

Over the past three years, he has developed a habit. As he grows older, his athletic ability is different and his desire for breakthroughs has become lower.

In the first game in the finals, he made a mistake of inertial thinking and did not cause more damage.

On the contrary, Wei Xia rushed to the basket many times to find trouble for Garnett.

In the third quarter, the Lakers' scores were extremely concentrated on Kobe and Wei Xia.

One of them scored 12 points and the other scored 10 points. With one point in a single quarter, Gasol scored 23 points together, but the Celtics on the opposite side scored 31 points with the Big Three and Rondo. Before the fourth quarter arrived, they had already thrown the Lakers away in the score.

With a 13-point gap, Kobe's desire to turn the tide like Jordan hurts his touch.

His shot became unstable, and thankfully, Derek Fisher found the touch in the fourth quarter.

However, the Celtics changed their previous style of play and actually made Ray Allen the main ball holder.

The Celtics had a starter, with Allen holding the ball and supporting the ball. Although he made many mistakes, he was obviously much more cunning in the timing of giving the ball. His activities on the wings opened up the Lakers' formation. He often showed surprising aggressiveness on the defensive end.

Next, the Celtics used the old-school Eastern Conference strong team to win a Celtic-like victory.

He quickly got on the left side of the penalty area countless times, the Lakers' pass was stuck in the crowd countless times and was cut off, with a rebound of 47 to 31, and a save on the ground countless times. Every time he tangled in the mud, the fans shouted in unison.

This is how Russell, McHale and Dave Coins won the game. At those critical moments, Pierce made two decisive starts in the fast break, the vicious backcourt rebound protection when the fourth quarter scored, and Garnett's classic backcourt ballet save finally made a score.

These things in the abnormal competition are tough, passionate and bold, and this is the Celtic.

Watching them control the situation again and again with Wei Xia’s most familiar Fang, the young man who was traveling back and forth between the two eras, knew that their situation was out of reach tonight.
