Chapter 1619 Win the Championship Tonight
When the halftime whistle sounded, the veterans of the Celtics sat on the bench without saying a word, and the entire North Shore Garden Arena became increasingly quiet.
Rivers has never been as desperate as tonight, and has never been as pious as tonight. The 16-point gap at halftime already means that more than half of their last hope has been lost. At this time, it is really only We can expect miracles.
Didn't the Greens play well? No, their defense was still sharp. They allowed the Lakers' twin interior towers and substitute Powell to only score 10 points in the half. They also allowed Fisher and Artest to score 3 points each in the half. A mistake.
But they still kept getting bigger scores, because tonight was JK's performance time.
SHOW TIME.
A word that Lakers fans are extremely familiar with.
It was during the SHOW TIME era that the Lakers experienced the exhilarating feeling of defeating the Celtics in the Finals for the first time. And tonight, after 26 years, SHOW TIME once again caused a stir in the center of the North Shore Garden.
Ji Feng teamed up with Kobe, and the two core cores of the Lakers, the old and the new, teamed up to provide a perfect half-time offense and defense. Even during the halftime break, the big screen in the North Shore Garden also played the highlights of the two players in the first half. On the field, JK's performance has reached a level that cannot be ignored even in away games.
Ji Feng had 24 points, 8 assists, 6 rebounds, 3 steals and 3 blocks in the half.
Kobe had 20 points, 6 assists, 5 rebounds, 4 steals and 1 block in the half.
Is there a more terrifying duo than JK?
No more. Even Jordan and Pippen did not shock people as much as JK did today.
"Inhuman performance." Bird could only describe the first half he saw. There was really no way to lose to such a duo. It can only be said that the Green Army's three giants were born at the wrong time.
After 15 minutes of halftime, the Green Army regrouped and launched the final wave of offense. Inside, Garnett carried Gasol and scored a difficult hook shot. To be honest, this was not Garnett at all. His playing style, but until now, the Green Army has only fought hard.
However, looking back, Ji Feng from the outside accurately found Kobe Bryant who was cutting inside after the pick-and-roll.
The Celtics' defense was quickly attracted by Kobe. In the first half, JK used this method to tear apart their defense countless times. No matter who was on the line or who was cutting inside, as long as they got the ball, there was almost no solution.
However, on the court, at a 45-degree angle on the right side, Kobe, who had no chance inside, still received Ji Feng's pass!
After receiving the ball, he immediately turned around and shot.
Swish——!
Get another three points.
This is Kobe's fifth three-pointer tonight.
The point difference was widened to 17 points.
Just after the third quarter, the Lakers showed their determination in this way to win the championship tonight!
They are not going to delay it any longer!
At this moment, Lakers fans have gathered outside Staples in Los Angeles. Tens of thousands of fans are waiting eagerly under the lights of the summer night. Although their mood is a bit complicated at the moment, even though they know clearly that this is the finals and know that it will be postponed. There will be more variables in one game, but they still can't help but think that if the game is perfect tonight at Staples, what could be better than sweeping the Celtics at their home court to win the championship and establish a dynasty? What's exciting? Maybe it's a chance to win another championship next year, but this is just what some greedy fans think, and most fans have excitement on their faces, even if they can't see the Lakers in person. To win the trophy, you have to be the first to see the establishment of the Los Angeles dynasty!
In the distant Asian continent, Chinese fans don't have so many thoughts. Championships and dynasties, these things that seemed far away from the Chinese are now happening in front of them, which makes them feel like they are dreaming. Fantasy happiness.
"It's really great to have Ji Feng."
SH and BJ in China, Tokyo in Japan, Seoul in South Korea, Chiang Mai in Vietnam... A large number of Ji Feng's supporters have gathered in various prosperous places throughout Asia. They gathered in various places in the city and stared at the big scene in front of them. The screen watched as Ji Feng got closer and closer to the moment when he would become a god!
But on the court, Pierce is here again.
When the Green Army fell into despair as a whole, Pierce hit a three-pointer against Artest's defense, but the Green Army still did not give up.
Ji Feng shook his head. No matter how annoying Pierce is or how unpleasant his personality is, his role in the Celtics is obvious to all. In the years when the Celtics have been declining, Pierce represents the last hope here. , to be fair, without Pierce, the Celtics would have long since degenerated into a bad team like the Timberwolves, and it would be impossible to have the Big Three today. Although Garnett was considered the leader of the team after coming here, in fact, Pierce is the 'truth' of North Shore Gardens.
Even if he retires in the future and makes so many heroic words and says so many unrealistic words, his contribution to this city cannot be erased. He is loyal to this city and he is also the only one in the Green Army who holds the belief in victory at the moment. people.
The best respect for such a player is to respond to him.
Ji Feng screened and signaled Artest to pull away. He came to face Pierce directly. He dribbled the ball under his hips from outside the three-point line, suddenly changed his rhythm and forced a shot.
Dry pull!
Swish——!
North Shore Garden was silent again.
Ji Feng responded to the ball cleanly, once again killing the Green Army's hope of gaining momentum.
Ji Feng, who scored the ball, pointed at Pierce, man, use your last energy, attack with all your strength here, don't leave any regrets.
Pierce understood, and he accepted the challenge.
Turning around, the iconic mid-range shot once again gave the Green Army life.
As for Ji Feng, the pick-and-roll is also an iconic mid-range shot, which is more difficult and more elegant.
Pierce missed the shot, turned around, grabbed an offensive rebound, and made a tip-in.
Scored 7 points in a row.
And Ji Feng responded with a LOGO three points~!
Rivers called timeout again!
Pierce supported his knees. His physical strength had bottomed out. Sure enough, he still couldn't do it. He tried his best, but Ji Feng stopped him. This was the pure strength gap. Even facing James, he couldn't. This feeling, that no matter how I fight, Ji Feng can respond perfectly, is the most desperate.
On the Lakers bench, in addition to excitement, there was more admiration for Ji Feng.
It was so strong that Farmar couldn't help but want to wipe Ji Feng's boots.
"I don't know how it felt for those who played against Jordan back then, but tonight, Ji Feng is the God on the court. He is too strong and unstoppable." Bird said.
Like many Green Army fans, he feels that the Green Army has gone far. Tonight, a champion will be born here!
"Ji Feng scored another 30 points. He is just a stone's throw away from his 4th consecutive game with 40+ points. This has far exceeded the performance of those famous superstars in the finals. Ji Feng has become a monument in the history of the finals." Director Zhang said arrive.
Ji Feng: "Don't be careless in the last quarter, the championship is right in front of you!"
