Chapter 1602: The war has just begun

On June 7, the second game of the Finals, the Lakers continued their home game against the Celtics at Staples.
Because of the schedule, although the Lakers have the home court advantage, because there will be three consecutive away journeys, this second game becomes particularly critical.
The Lakers who won the first game are likely to win again at their home court. Going to the away game with a score of 0-2 means that they have the absolute initiative to win the championship. On the contrary, for the Greens, this game is also crucial, as long as they win , Not only can they regain the home court advantage in one fell swoop, they can also seek an opportunity to end the series early in the next three home courts.
In a word, for the finals, this second game is more like the battle of Tianwangshan. The relationship between victory and defeat will greatly change the trend of the finals and even determine the ownership of this year's championship.
Fans and friends who have watched the previous chapter also understand that this is why the Green Army dared to let go of the first game, and the second game is bound to be a battle!
But for the Lakers, the atmosphere before the game is still very relaxed. Whether it is the result of 1-0 or the process of the first game, they have a reason to relax and confident. Now they firmly believe that they will also be relaxed this time. Take down.
The clues can be seen from the warm-up training, whether it is Kobe’s long-lost smile and playing with Artest, or the old fish jumping on Gasol’s back, or the weird celebration of Ji Feng and Bynum, All seem to prove the relaxation of the Lakers' mentality.
Before the game, the overall atmosphere of Staples was equally relaxed. The live DJ was still in the mood to follow the footsteps of the camera and look for the big stars from all over the world in the auditorium.
On the sidelines, Nicholson also danced a tap dance enthusiastically, as if celebrating victory in advance.
But at the beginning of the game, everyone felt that it was not as simple as the first.
In this game, when the two sides played against each other, it was a thumping muscle confrontation!
Start with jumping ball!
This time Perkins beat Bynum, and the confrontation between the two began before the jump. Perkins greeted Bynum's family directly before the game, which angered Bynum. , The two almost clashed before the game, and Parkinson also used Bynum's angry time to seize the opportunity to get the ball.
The second thing that has become different is the leader of the Green Army, Pierce!
Pierce in the first game can be described in a low-key way. As we all know, Pierce is a guy who likes physical confrontation and likes to harass opponents with trash talking. This habit has also been brought to life. That’s why there is the well-known incident of undead at the bar. .
But in the first game, Pierce basically didn't fight back or scolded, just like a good gentleman, making Ji Feng think he was possessed by Grant Hill or Billups.
There is no doubt that this is also part of Rivers' routine.
And at the beginning of this game, Pierce, who was suffocated, couldn't wait for a second. When Rondo dribbled the ball through halftime, and he hadn't passed it yet, Pierce just got up with Artest over there!
The two pushed each other, with great physical movements, and Pierce secretly gave Artest a elbow when he caught the ball behind his back.
Of course Artest, who suffered a dark loss, wouldn't just let it go, so when Pierce wanted to turn around, Artest naturally elbows back.
Then the two broke out unexpectedly, and then broke out physical movements!
With the referee's hurried whistle, Artest and Pierce each received a technical foul in the first 17 seconds of the game.
"This game... is not quite right." After Ji Feng finally calmed down Artest, he thought in his heart as he looked at the aggressive green-shirted soldier.
This is not an exception. All the Celtics players showed a completely different temperament from the first game, tough, iron-blooded, and unscrupulous!
Not only in fouls, but also in defense.
The defense that the Green Army relied on in the past is back!
Roy Thibodeau is undoubtedly a defensive master in the coaching world. He designed a complete defensive system for the Celtics. Relying on defensive talents such as Garnett and Pierce, their defense is undoubtedly top-notch.
But tonight, the Lakers who were not fully prepared suffered a big loss at once!
The first green shirts relied on Garnett's rotation to succeed in singles, and the Lakers also wanted to replicate the first game. Although Ji Feng could still easily break through Rondo, when Ji Feng reached the three-point line, The Celtics' defense is already in place.
Ji Feng encountered a three-person double team in an instant, and he had no choice but to divide the ball. Kobe, who got the ball, was also surrounded and suppressed and finally shot the ball.
The game of this round became the abbreviation of the first quarter. The Green Army created a huge problem for the Lakers with a strong individual defense. Bynum failed to score two consecutive offenses, but was distracted by Perkins. Offensive foul.
When Ji Feng and Kobe used his personal ability to break through, the Green Army would use fierce fouls to prevent Ji Feng and Kobe from easily scoring.
How fierce the Green Army fouls are. Ji Feng’s record of 48 consecutive free throws in the playoffs was lost tonight~EbookFREE.me~ Kobe even missed two free throws.
Several giants in the Celtics entered the state early. Pierce scored 6 points in a row. Garnett and Ray Allen also scored. Rivers replaced Rasheed Wallace early, and Roaring Tianzun hit 3 points. Help the Green Army fight a wave of 17-7 offense!
The long-term inefficiency and the increase in errors have made the voice of the home fans much smaller, and Hearn seemed very anxious.
"The Lakers need to adjust as soon as possible! They are too passive!"
But Barkley's words hit the nail on the head; "The Lakers are not prepared for difficulties. The sudden awakening of the Green Army makes them very uncomfortable. The Lakers are a bit lost!"
Zen Master called a timeout, replaced Farmar, and let Ji Feng return to Pierce, who was in good defensive state at the 3rd position.
After returning to the court, although Ji Feng defended Pierce in the first round and grabbed the rebound and counterattacked, he could only slow down and play the position under the incredible defensive speed of the Green Army. Ji Feng transferred to Gasol and Gasol. As soon as he turned around, he was trapped inside the Green Army.
Garnett quickly completed the steal, Rondo seized the opportunity to counterattack and scored 21, Kobe failed to block, but was compensated for a foul, 2 fouls were forced to leave!
Artest was very dissatisfied off the court. He stood up and wanted to find a referee. Fortunately, the Zen master pulled him to avoid being sent off the court.
But the situation on the court was out of control. Ji Feng scored a three-pointer after the pick-and-roll, but Ray Allen fired from the outside again, and Farmar made a mistake in serving, Rondo steals, Ji Feng desperately blocked, but Rondo directly passed to Rasheed Wallace, the latter stepped back from the corner and out of the three-point line, hitting a three-pointer...
29-14, the Lakers fell behind by 15 points in the first quarter!
The Lakers are in a huge crisis!
"Don't be happy too early boys, the war has just begun!" Pierce roared toward the Lakers before leaving the field.
