Iverson received a very coquettish pass from McGrady and hit the Lakers' fourth three-pointer of the game.
At the same time, Du Kang extended four fingers for the first time in this game. In addition, the Lakers only shot from the outside before, even a fool knows what Coach D and the Lakers are going to do in the first quarter of this game.
"Coach D wants to use 10 three-pointers in a single quarter to pay tribute to Jerry Buss' 10 championships with the Lakers!"
"No wonder he let Kobe, Iverson, Tracy McGrady, Nash and Carter continue to pass the ball outside and shoot three-pointers in the first quarter!" After sensing the intentions of Du Kang and the Lakers in this game, the entire ball The museum was shocked again.
Especially the Celtics and Lakers star areas. They already know that Du Kang refused the league's help in this game and was unwilling to have any taint on Jerry Buss' victory in his last game.
Therefore, a five-back lineup was created, and Iverson was also prohibited from seeking physical contact when he broke through.
This is actually very restrictive. Now, the Lakers still have to complete 10 three-pointers in the first quarter, which limits themselves even more!
If Coach D tied his right hand before, now Coach D also tied his left hand!
"Oh my God, if Coach D restricts himself like this, if the Celtics still can't win, then no one can say that this game is the league suppressing the Celtics and giving it to Jeriba for nothing. Sri Lanka’s victory, coach D and his Lakers won justly!” After a certain Celtics star exclaimed, there were many Celtics stars around him nodding in agreement.
More than just being aboveboard, he was simply giving in! The previous grievances between the Celtics and the Lakers were old grievances and had nothing to do with Coach D.
Coach D chooses to pay tribute to Jerry Buss in his own way. That is his choice. If he completes these tributes in such a pure way without any dust, and even shows his name, that is his ability.
No one is qualified to use the Lakers' sins in the past to explain what is happening now.
"If Coach D really does all the tributes under these restrictions, I won't boo, I will applaud, I will give a standing ovation, this is not a tribute to Jerry Buss, this is a tribute to Coach D, his courage, Magnanimous and pure!" After another famous player from Team Kai finished speaking, a bunch of famous players from Team Kai next to him were shocked.
A standing ovation when Coach D paid tribute to Jerry Buss? ! Although it is a tribute to Coach D, but...
"Coach D has gone to such an extent. Obviously he hopes that we will see his goodwill. Coach D can be this incredible courteous to us. If we can't return the courtesy when he succeeds, it will look like we are stingy." Sale looked at the young Lakers coach on the big screen and finished speaking with a smile. There were some disputes between the Celtics stars next to him. This time, no one was arguing.
Indeed, Coach D did not hold his fists and give up three points, but tied his own hands and gave up 100 points.
You can't even defeat Coach D and the Lakers. Instead, you pretend not to see it, remain silent, and refuse to admit defeat. You insist on being angry and conceited. That's a shame. You don't have the magnanimity of a wealthy family at all.
Therefore, after Russell opened his mouth, he immediately received unanimous approval from the Celtics stars. It is not a shame to pay tribute to Coach D like this game!
It's just obvious that the Kai team's consensus frightened the famous Lakers next to them. Damn it! Although the Celtics legend said he was paying tribute to Coach D, Coach D is paying tribute to Jerry Buss. If you stand up to pay tribute to Coach D, from a global perspective, it is equivalent to paying tribute to Jerry Buss.
Because the time when Coach D paid tribute to Jerry Buss coincided with the time when you paid tribute to Coach D. It is equivalent to two people bowing and saluting two flags at the same time. Even if you know in your heart which flag you are saluting, the visual effects are completely different.
"Will Mr. Buss get a tribute from the Celtics in his last game?!"
"If this scene really happens, then for Jerry Buss, his Lakers career will be really perfect!" For a moment, the Lakers star became excited.
Excitement quickly spread. Even Jerry Buss and Jerry West, who were not far away, knew about it.
Then Jim and Aunt Jenny were stunned. Especially Aunt Jenny. This was more expensive than she had just imagined!
So, in the end, can we achieve the achievement that makes Jerry Buss' hands tremble with excitement at this moment? Let the famous star of the Kai team pay tribute to him!
For a moment, all the famous players from the Kai and Lake teams looked towards the court. At this time, on the court, the Celtics, who had just been shown off by Maizi, were ready to attack.
Moreover, I felt that the situation just shown by Maizi made the players on the Kai team feel ashamed. So on the next play, Pierce gave the ball to Garnett.
The goal is very clear, which is to create a wave of wheat. After Garnett used his physical advantage to lean against McGrady, he was ready to eat hard.
With Garnett's height and weight, it wouldn't be that difficult to forcefully eat the now slightly fat Tracy McGrady. At least in Garnett's own opinion, it's not difficult.
He's not James with a groin strain. And he is much taller than James, and his post-up skills are much better.
James didn't even get the wheat card stuck, so he turned around forcefully. It would be strange not to take the risk. Look at me, after I blocked Maizi, I turned around and could dunk with one hand!
Garnett really stuck McGrady. But when Garnett took off the ball and turned around for a dunk. The basketball he was holding in his hand was cut directly by McGrady just as he turned around!
Damn it! McGrady's 2.20-meter long arms cut the ball so steadily that even Garnett was stunned! He did expose the ball a little bit just now.
But damn, it’s McGrady behind him and not Duncan, so what does it matter if it’s a little exposed?
Even Duncan, he is so tall, Duncan can't even cut through such a small exposure like mine! Yes, Duncan can't cut it, but McGrady can!
Garnett's single attack on McGrady is very symbolic. McGrady showed off the Celtics just now, and now the Celtics are about to undermine the morale of McGrady and the Lakers.
As a result, Maizi showed off again. For a time, TMC cheers rang out throughout Staples.
Maizi, who was at the center of the cheers, covered his mouth with his left hand and took a breath. Then he lightly threw the basketball in his right hand to Iverson in front of him, avoiding Garnett's counterattack.
"Iverson brought the ball forward, and the Los Angeles Lakers counterattacked! The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Celtics' defense and counterattacked!" The DJ at the scene was excited. The Lakers have been suppressed since the start of this game. This is still the Lakers The team launched a decent counterattack for the first time.
Coach D's five-back tactic really scared everyone. In front of them, Iverson, Nash, Kobe and Carter failed to open up the situation.
On the contrary, after McGrady started to show, the situation suddenly opened up! The most uncomfortable person at this time is definitely Garnett.
"Coach D's conspiracy can't be on Mai Banchan, right?" Garnett quickly returned to defense while looking behind him.
Well, among the 10 players on the court, the other 9 players were all running forward quickly. Only Maizi trotted forward while breathing in. It felt like the game had nothing to do with him.
Farke! Is this still the Maddie I know? ! In fact, Garnett couldn't think too much on the court at this time.
Iverson in front has gone crazy. After Iverson received McGrady's pass, he went all the way forward and broke through. The Celtics' Avery Bradley and Courtney Lee chased after them one by one, and were all beaten one by one. Iverson went through it again.
After the space is opened and the defensive position is disrupted, it is like a playground for the Lakers' five guards.
The Celtics' defense worked really hard. So after Iverson passed the Celtics' perimeter, Iverson suddenly reached the three-point line. He only had to go all the way down for a layup.
But Iverson didn't choose to go for a layup. Rather!
"Coach D is telling me to pass the ball out!"
"Coach D doesn't want a layup, he wants a three-pointer!"
"Oh my God!" Because Iverson really gave up the opportunity to go up to the blue and hit the ball to Kobe beyond the three-point line!
Then the Celtics players who had just chased and intercepted Iverson attacked Kobe again. Kobe's latest Pierce comes over!
Kobe made a light pull and passed! Avery Bradley came over and turned his back with a continuous shake of his shoulders, wiping it away!
Courtney Lee came over, and Kobe pulled back and pulled the ball forward again, passing! The Celtics outside line, which was passed by Iverson just now, was passed by Kobe again!
"Oh my God!" Kenny Smith didn't know how many times he said this. However, you can see it just by looking at the reaction of the spectators on the sidelines of the court.
What an incredible fast break the Lakers had!
"I've never seen such a fast break. I've never seen such a fast break in the NBA!" It's not a fast break with the purpose of scoring. Damn, it's a fast break with the purpose of passing people!
“Am I watching Harlem basketball?!”
“I bet Harlem basketball isn’t this exciting!”
"It's incredible!" The audience in front of the TV were stunned. Previously, the five defenders were suppressed in the positional battle.
Now after the five backs counterattack, we realize how exciting this lineup is!
"Oh my God, Kobe also reached the three-point line after passing through. He did not shoot and passed the ball to Nash outside the three-point line!" Nash did not continue to pass Kai Zi's outside line, but After hitting Bass, he broke through to the three-point line and passed the basketball backwards to face Pierce's defense.
The person who caught the ball was none other than Maizi, who was slowly and slowly the last one to reach the Kai team's three-point line.
"It's like counting with a stopwatch!" When McGrady received Nash's pass, the time was really perfect, making people wonder if he had counted with a stopwatch!
After Maizi received a pass from Nash, Garnett saved it with all his strength. Maizi feinted, and Garnett was sent flying.
Facing Avery Bradley who followed him out, McGrady didn't even move. He just held the basketball in both hands and shook it in the air. Bradley also flew away!
"Oh my god, I just knocked away two Celtic defenders at the same spot!"
"T-Mac can pass the ball, and now the other points are all open!" Seeing that Nash, Kobe, Carter, and Iverson have all stretched out to the three-point line, the Celtics coach on the sidelines Coach Doc Reeves was dumbfounded.
"This is a fast break? Are you fucking telling me this is a fast break?!"
"Defense, defend me!" Rivers roared. And Tyronn Lue next to him had his eyes wide open at this time!
Did Maizi pass the ball? No! The five players of the Kai team were already going crazy, and this time the Lakers' fast break was just like humiliating them.
The ball passed through the hands of five Lakers players. No one could grab it. Everyone had to pass them once.
Each of them had passed the round just now more than once. This time, no matter what, we have to intercept the ball!
It doesn't matter even if someone else shoots you empty blue. Otherwise it would be too embarrassing! But Rivers' shouting prevented them from doing so. After being knocked away, they could only find open Lakers players nearby to defend.
Seeing McGrady holding the ball with one hand, he gracefully circled it and then missed another one. McGrady stood there and already knocked away four Celtics players.
Pierce, who was the last to stand in front of McGrady, didn't move. Instead, they wait for the other Celtics players to take up their defensive positions.
"This fast break is finally over!" Rivers roared on the sidelines, feeling like he was exhausted.
If McGrady hadn't been there to be cool, the Celtics' defense would have really collapsed this time. At this time, everyone's eyes were turned to Pierce and McGrady.
Facing Pierce's beast-like eyes, Maizi's sleepy eyes seemed a little unable to open, as if they were about to fall asleep at any moment.
"T-Mac released the ball. Tracy McGrady finally released the ball! Pierce also moved!"
"No, McGrady didn't let go of the ball, he was pretending to be worshiping Buddha!" McGrady didn't let go of the ball, and Pierce stepped forward! Then!
"Blessed to Buddha! Oh my god! McGrady made two consecutive prayers to Buddha in the void. The ball didn't even hit the ground, but he hit Pierce twice. Oh my god, he hit five Celtics players without moving! Incredible tmc!" In one round, five defensive players of the opponent were knocked away, and they were still in place!
Don't say that the Lakers' DJ is crazy at this time. Even the Celtics players on the court were crazy! Pierce, who was sent flying for the second time, was flying in the air with glazed eyes.
At this time, the Lakers fans at the scene were silent. The Lakers players on the court, Kobe, Nash, Carter and Iverson all looked at Maizi like they were looking at a monster.
They had been running around for a long time, and Maizi Nima actually passed all the Celtic players on the spot!
Is this the benefit of those long arms? Kezi cried with envy when he saw it. At this time, Maizi, who was in the spotlight of the world, finally had no one around him who could disturb him.
McGrady glanced at the basket sleepily and pushed the basketball out without even jumping.
"..." Kobe and other Lakers players who were originally waiting for Maizi's handsome strike were dumbfounded. Is this still the iron king who has to pull out every ball?
A swipe! The basketball pushed out by McGrady hit the net!
"This is the fifth three-pointer the Lakers have hit in the first quarter. All five starting players on the Lakers court have three-pointers!"
"Kobe, McGrady, Nash, Iverson, Carter, they are all looking at Jerry Buss in the stands right now!"
"They are paying tribute to Jerry Buss's first era, the five championships of the showtime era!"
"They used the best fast break in NBA history to pay tribute to the showtime era of the Los Angeles Lakers and to Jerry Buss!" Looking at the five high-quality guards on the TV, they simultaneously raised their right hands and followed D Coaches join together to salute Jerry Buss on the sidelines.
Jerry Buss is wiping away tears. Even the magician next to him, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, was so moved that his eyes were red!
"This is the most beautiful tribute I have ever seen!"
"Hahahaha, magic, they deserve the word show-time more than us!" There is nothing to say, really nothing to say!
"Incredible Coach D!"
"We thought he was simply paying tribute to Jerry Buss with 10 three-pointers. Unexpectedly, we really didn't expect that every three-pointer has a special meaning!"
"Coach D, Kobe, McGrady, Carter, Nash, Iverson, they are the six most talented people on the planet!" Barkley and Kenny Smith were already going crazy at this time.
As for O'Neal, it felt like his head had exploded! Durant's hands were shaking in front of the TV.
He wished he was the sixth man on the court.
"I want to play with them, I want to show with them!!!" In Miami, James also stood there at this time, looking at the TV with wide eyes.
Those 24 seconds just now were such an incredible 24 seconds! In the past 24 seconds, every second, not every frame was beautiful, full of the beauty and technology of basketball!
But he didn't!
"Is this Coach D's five-back tactic?" At this time, Jordan in front of the TV was stunned by the five-back round just now.
Let’s not talk about whether it is strong or not. The show is really a show! His hand holding the red wine glass was trembling.
Damn it, I want to go up and show with these guys too!
"Bobo, is the Lakers' counterattack this time considered a counterattack?" After completing a 24-second counterattack, is it considered a counterattack?
"Forget it!" Because in these 24 seconds, not even a second, the Celtics gained a firm foothold. The five Celtics players on the court were stunned by the five Lakers guards!
In the future, when the Spurs encounter their five defenders, they must not let them run! Otherwise, just wait to be shown off by them!
"Rivers called this timeout well." Really, it will collapse! The pause ends. Players from both sides continue to play.
"tmc, did you just pass someone on the spot and push the ball on purpose?"
"No." Why? Kobe looked confused, while Maizi let out a sigh of relief.
"Energy saving." Fak! Maizi's answer once again shocked Kobe and other Lakers players around him.
Can I say that I am worthy of you? tmc! After the game restarted, the Celtics clearly began to target the Lakers' three-point line.
But the skills of the five Lakers players are so good! It was useless for the Celtics to press.
Because they are a big man lineup! Because they are slow! In the end, not only was it useless, it also gave the Lakers room.
The Celtics wanted to stop the Lakers' three-pointer, but in the end, they couldn't stop it. I could only watch the Lakers hit three-pointers one by one.
After the timeout, the Lakers failed to suppress the three-pointer, but there were some problems with their own offense. And after the fast break before the timeout, every time the Lakers scored a three-pointer, the Lakers fans at the scene would roar.
"Sixth championship, Kobe Bryant!"
"Roar~"
"Seventh championship, Kobe Bryant!"
"Ho~!"
"Eighth championship, Kobe Bryant!"
"Ho~!"
"Ninth championship, Kobe Bryant!"
"Ho~!"
"The tenth championship, Kobe Bryant!" In fact, you can't say that the Celtics' defense is not working hard. The Lakers' three-pointers on the court are Kobe and Iverson.
In the end, the three-pointer was forced into Kobe's hands and let him shoot. This is not considered a failure by any means. but!
"Coach D takes Kobe to pay tribute to Jerry Buss's last five championships!"
"Oh my God, Jerry Buss's last five championships all belonged to Kobe, and on the court, the Lakers' last five three-pointers all belonged to Kobe!" And just as Du Kang said with red eyes As Kobe and other Lakers players walked to the sidelines to honor Jerry Buss.
On the big screen in the stadium, the classic moments of Jerry Buss's ten championships began to play. Watching Jerry Buss in all his glory on the big screen.
Watching Du Kang pay tribute to Kobe and the others at this time. The Kai team's famous area. Finally, Russell stood up and applauded along with the rest of the audience.
"Oh my god, the Boston Celtics stars are actually paying tribute to Jerry Buss!" Jerry Buss stood up at this time and was already wiping tears.
For him, this is perfect!
"That's great, Jim, you're great!" At this time, everyone in the entire stadium was standing. Including Aunt Jenny, who was also applauding with tears in her eyes.
Only one person did not stand up in the end. That's Danny Ainge. Danny Ainge closed his eyes. 30 to 34, you are still lagging behind!
This score is like the Lakers' championship, still lagging behind the Celtics! So no matter how you show off, you still haven’t won!
Danny Ainge opened his eyes.
"In this game, I want to see if you can make me stand up!" The second quarter began. The Lakers have completely changed into a different lineup.
Kobe Bryant, Jamison, Jordan Hill, Yi Jianlian, Gasol. If the Lakers in the first quarter had five defenders.
Then in the second quarter, the Lakers had one guard and four power forwards! Weird! Another weird formation!
"What is Coach D going to do? After falling behind in the first quarter, can he finally resist the urge to cause physical contact?!" It's not surprising that such an association occurred the first time I saw the Lakers' lineup.
Therefore, the faces of the famous players who had just paid tribute to Coach D on the sidelines of Kai District looked unhappy. If it were them, after such a massive tribute in the first quarter.
It’s really time to think about winning the game. but! After the start of the second quarter...
"These Lakers big men didn't attack the basket!"
"The Celtics simply can't find such an inside man to match them, but they don't attack the basket and still avoid physical confrontation and shoot mid-range shots!"
"Is Coach D going to pay tribute to Jerry Buss with a mid-range shot in the second quarter?!"
"I have already used 10 three-pointers to pay tribute to Jerry Buss's 10 championships in the first quarter. Are we going to pay tribute again with mid-range shots in the second quarter?!" When the Lakers had already made 10 mid-range shots in the second quarter, After that, he continued to make mid-range shots, and such speculation went bankrupt.
The Lakers' lineup in the second quarter was too big and couldn't stop the Celtics' perimeter offense on defense. When it contracts, it cannot guard the outside; when it expands, it cannot guard the inside.
Moreover, there is still no physical contact with the Celtics! It feels like we are still giving way to the Celtics!
However, these four big men of the Lakers are indeed capable in the mid-range. Especially Yi Jianlian.
"Eleven, this is the eleventh mid-range shot made by the Lakers in the second quarter!"
"I understand, this is Coach D's tribute to Jerry Buss' 16 Western Conference championships!"
"In the second quarter, Coach D will use 16 mid-range shots so far!" After Kobe Bryant hit 11 mid-range shots, the Celtics players on the court soon understood.
Then they surrounded Kobe like crazy!
"The next five mid-range shots must have been made by Kobe!" I saw the Celtics chasing and intercepting Kobe on the court.
Aunt Jenny on the sidelines was already screaming in her heart. No, never! Kobe has been feeling very bad lately, having already hit so many three-pointers in the first quarter.
The second quarter can no longer be so accurate! At this moment, the DJ on the scene shouted again.
"Kobe is kissing the golden wristband!"
"Kobe was kissing the golden wristband that coach D gave him just like he did before he hit five three-pointers in the first quarter!" What?
! Aunt Jenny stood up in shock at this time. In fact, when Kobe kissed the wristband, everyone in the entire arena stood up, waiting for the second tribute to come.
Whether you believe it or not, Kobe succeeded last time and Coach D succeeded! When the Lakers made their final attack in the second quarter, Kobe faced a double attack from Pierce Courtney Lee and Avery Bradley, drifted backwards and hit the Lakers' 16th mid-range shot in the second quarter.
The whole Staples seemed to be exploding!
"Coach d! Coach d! Coach!"
"Kobe! Kobe! Kobe!"
"Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!" Second quarter, second salute! When the big screen at the scene began to play the moment when Jerry Buss led the Lakers to win the 16th Western Conference championship.
The whole Staples went crazy! Jerry Buss is still wiping away tears. The Kai team star once again stood up and applauded.
And the Lakers coach, who was the focus of the world, was also wiping away tears at this time. There is no way not to cry. More than moved.
It’s also heartbreaking. Do you know how much effort I put in for this half? Do you know how much effort I have put in for this game?
What a waste of effort! but! It's all worth it! Looking at the excited fans, excited Lakers players, excited Lakers stars, excited Jerry Buss, West and Jim Shu.
Listen to the cheers for yourself. He looked at the applause given to him by the famous players of the Kai team. Du Kang feels that everything is worth it!
Danny Ainge still didn't stand up. 62 to 65! You are still falling behind! You can pay tribute to your Jerry Buss!
There is absolutely no way you can beat us Celtics with this way of playing! Absolutely impossible! Aunt Jenny was wiping away tears with a touched face.
But I was gnashing my teeth in my heart.
"You raised the tone so high in the first half, let me see how you pay tribute in the second half!"... The game between the Lakers and Celtics ended at halftime.
Networks across the country, and even around the world, are frantically discussing Coach D's incredible tribute to Jim Buss during the two quarters.
"It's so awesome. Coach D's tactics in the first half were so awesome. The entire NBA was blown away by his show!"
"If every NBA team plays like Coach D in the future, all the shitty NBA referees will be unemployed!"
"No, no, no, if all NBA teams play like the Lakers did in the first half, no one will watch NBA games except the Lakers!"
"Hahahaha, no one can play like Coach D, no one can play like this Laker!"
"Looking forward to what surprises Coach D and the Lakers can bring us in the second half!"
"Incredible game, incredible tribute!"
"Today, Jerry Buss must be the happiest man in the world!"......
"Bryant, are you resting?"
"Coach, I'm fine, better than ever!"
"The second half is up to you."......
"Update the mission. You adjusted well in time in the first half of the game. Don't blow the whistle in the second half."......
