Chapter 1614 The Ending Battle

G3 ended in a frenzy. Despite the overall disadvantage, the Lakers still firmly held the victory in their hands. After conquering the North Shore Garden, the Lakers were only one step away from reaching the top.

And just as this season is about to conclude, the league is also experiencing turbulent undercurrents. Hidden under the fiery center of the finals may be a major change that will affect the next ten years.

Season Feng, Kobe Bryant, James, Bosh, Wade Stoudemire, Anthony, Duncan, Nash, Curry, Harden, Westbrook...the names constitute a picture of the future. I really want to take a time machine and see it. What the alliance will look like ten years from now.

But now, the finals are the crater, and the Lakers are the team sitting on the crater. Fans all over the world are eagerly waiting for the day when the volcano officially erupts.

When the proud Celtics lowered their unruly heads, the Lakers leading 3-0 seemed

It's already time to pop the champagne.

Although countless Green Army fans still firmly believe that they have a chance to complete an unprecedented 0-3 comeback in history...

But more Lakers fans already have champagne, beer, and cigars in their hands.

"G4! Endgame! We want to sweep!"

Outside Staples in Los Angeles, a fan in his sixties held up such a banner. This represents the belief of all Lakers fans and the decades-long wait of all basketball fans.

In the history of the NBA, there has never been a team that can win the championship with an undefeated record. The closest team is undoubtedly the legendary team that was unbeatable at that time. OK Lakers, in the 2000 season, they won 69 games in the regular season. The playoffs deservedly swept the Western Conference. O'Neal stood out and Kobe Bryant matured day by day. They made the mighty Spurs and Kings lose their eggs in shame. At that time, the East was weak and the West was strong to the extreme. No matter which team in the East was defeated, I think it won't cause any trouble to the Lakers, and the undefeated championship is right around the corner.

However, Iverson came out of nowhere, and the 'answer' gave his own answer at that moment. He was a lone hero in the away game, and his ultimate performance resulted in the strongest playoff record in history, 16-1. The regret of winning the championship still remains.

"We didn't have to fail." Every time they talk about that year, whether it is O'Neal, Kobe, or Fisher, they will say this with regret. Although they recognize Iverson's strength, they all grit their teeth about failure. They could have been the first.

In the next ten years, there were championships every year, but no championship had the dominance of the original Lakers. Even the 2007 Spurs, who last swept the Finals and won the championship, struggled to break through the Western Conference.

Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. This time, the opportunity is once again in front of the Lakers. Not only that, they have also achieved a more luxurious record than that year. They have won 15 consecutive games in the playoffs so far. They are only one game away from the last game. History becomes a legend.

And this time, their opponent is more meaningful to every Lakers player, because it is the Celtics, their undisputed number one enemy.

The Lakers have never swept the Celtics in the finals. On the contrary, in the first meeting between the two teams in the finals, the Celtics easily swept 4-0 to win the championship, which also started the championship. The 7-game winning streak against the Lakers in the finals may be due to morale or conflicting styles of play. Since that sweep, the Lakers have been unable to escape the fate of being defeated by the Celtics, especially when the Celtics ushered in their heyday. The Lakers were trampled by their horses' hooves time and time again, and it wasn't until the Magic era that the losing streak ended.

That was already 25 years later.

Fifty years have passed since 1959, when the Lakers were first swept by the Celtics in 1959. So many stories have happened in these fifty years. The two teams have become the two giants in NBA history, but not What has changed is the heart of a championship and the heart of revenge!

Yes, the Lakers are eager to sweep the Celtics in the Finals and complete a redemption that spans half a century!

…

On June 11, the last night before the G4 game, at 10 p.m., the arena rented by the local Lakers in Boston had left after six hours of training and preparation. The arena was also in a state of chaos. The darkness seemed to merge with the entire night.

However, if you listen carefully, you can still hear the sound coming from the darkness. It is the crisp sound after the basketball hits the ground, which seems particularly ethereal in the quiet night.

It's Ji Feng!

Only 2 hours after leaving the venue, he came back here again. Of course, he didn't love basketball. He was so energetic. It was just that he couldn't fall asleep after returning to the hotel, so he chose to come here again to vent his excess energy with basketball. The energy is also to let your brain settle down again.

Yes, even if he is as calm as Ji Feng, he will inevitably fall into chaotic and complicated thoughts on the eve of this important game. Words such as championship, dynasty, revenge, etc. are constantly swirling in his mind, making it impossible to calm down. .

Ji Feng simply made himself more tired so that he could have a good sleep and not have his legs weak after the show tomorrow night.

However, he wasn't the only one who couldn't sleep...

A basketball fell accurately into the bag, and the sound of blue brushing could not hide the harsh sound of pushing the door open.

"Hey, hey, hey, I asked you why there is no one in your room, and you came here to practice more. I asked you why you have become more and more abnormal in the past two years. Tell me, how much practice you have done behind our backs." Kobe Bryant's unique The iconic voice sounded in the darkness, and under the moonlight, Ji Feng watched as Kobe appeared in the venue with a basketball in his left hand and something unknown in his right hand.

"Boss, you can't sleep either. That's just right. Come on, let's have a bullfight." Ji Feng walked there with a smile. He was not surprised at all by Kobe's arrival. To be honest, before Ji Feng came to the team, he came to play in the middle of the night. The gymnasium has always been Kobe's patent, and it was obviously not the first time that Ji Feng met Kobe in the gym at this time.

But this time, Kobe was obviously not here to have a bullfight with Ji Feng.

"Go, go, go. I'm old and my fingers are injured. Let's rest for the game tomorrow." Kobe refused the invitation to the bullfight, put down the things in his right hand, and slowly walked onto the court while patting the ball.

Only then did Ji Feng see clearly that it was a bottle of expensive champagne.

"No, Sir, isn't it too early to open the champagne?" Ji Feng walked over, picked it up and looked at it for a while. It was a bottle of Boerl & Kroff Brut. Each bottle costs about 3,000 U.S. dollars, which is considered expensive among champagne. It is a truly luxurious model, and it is also the favorite one when Ji Feng, Kobe and others gather together.

However, although they are leading 3-0, they have not won the championship after all. Is it too early to start enjoying it now?

"Of course not. This is the celebration drink I prepared in advance for my victory. What are you thinking? Do you think I don't watch football? I don't want to see what happened in Istanbul on the basketball court, especially when the opponent is them. ." Kobe said while sitting on the sidelines.
