After the second quarter, the Celtics led by three points with a score of 37:34.
Throughout the first half, the two teams were filled with intense confrontation. Flows, fouls, and elbows were everywhere.
The old fans of the Laker once thought that they had returned to the 80s, when the black and white teams competed for power.
In the regular season, teams generally did not exert their strength at all, and it was even more common for them to take turns to rest.
For example, when Carlyle was in charge of the Mavericks, if it wasn't Terry who had a thigh cramp today, it would be Kidd who had a strain the next day. In the end, they were all full of energy in the playoffs, directly defeating the championship of the Emperor and the Cheekman.
Because the more intense the battle, the more injuries and physical exhaustion.
For athletes, injuries were each other's biggest enemy.
However, for the new generation of Green Kai, what they needed to do was to defeat the enemy.
"In the second half, I'll defend against Kobe alone. Our tactics are very simple. We'll play more pick-and-rolls and break through.”
At this moment, Gu Yu knew that it was already the moment when the dagger was stabbed into the red.
Kobe was a ruthless character, but who wasn't?
In the first half of the game, Jeffersons mid-range shot taught the Los Angeles team a painful lesson. Bynum did not dare to let go of Jeffersons.
Although there was still Shark in the penalty area, Perkins was there too. He was blocking Shark.
Shaquille, who hadn't finished leveling, was really not good at defending the box. The penalty area of the Los Angeles team was like an ATM, which was why Gu Yu broke through when he couldn't pick and roll.
At the beginning of the third quarter, Rivers was also on the bench as usual. West led the bench and began to fight to the death with the Los Angeles Clippers.
The Zen Master also brought on substitute Brian. Cook, Vladimir. The substitutes 'bench led by Radmanovic began to fight to the death with the substitutes from Green Kai.
The Los Angeles Clippers were actually the bottom team in the league at this time, excluding Kobe. After Bryant.
Compared to the later three towers, Ci Shiping, Old Fish, and other players, the Los Angeles team was definitely a lot worse off.
Ryan Gamus, Delonte. West and the others were bargaining chips that could be used to trade Garnett. They still had the strength at this time. After all, not everyone could farm data, right?
At this time, with the strength of the Green Kai bench, the difference in points was seven points.
Immediately, Kobe could not sit still. He knew how difficult it was for him to score. After all, it was difficult for a defensive team like the Green Team to score and even more difficult to catch up.
As time passed, everyone's stamina would decrease. Once their stamina decreased, it meant that their efficiency would decrease.
The impact on offense was the greatest, and the impact on defense was much smaller. This was one of the reasons why defense won the championship.
It could also explain why true superstars needed to be both offensive and defensive.
Defense ensured that he would be offline, while offense determined the upper limit.
After playing for four minutes in the third quarter, Rivers decisively changed players when he saw Zen Master change into the starting lineup.
"Kobe, you will definitely lose against me.”
Gu Yu walked in front of Kobe and began to trash talk.
"A lot of rookies think they can beat me, but I'm the number one shooting guard in this league.”
As Kobe spoke, he began to cast Death Coiling on Gu Yu. He knew how powerful Gu Yu was, so he definitely wouldn't let Gu Yu catch the ball at this time.
"The so-called number one shooting guard, you're nothing without Shaq. Admit it, you're not as good as Shaq and Duncan.”
Gu Yu was not willing to be outdone. Wasn't it just trash talk?
Did the anti-fans really think that Gu Yu had never seen her before?
In fact, from this point of time, it was not a bad thing to say that Kobe was inferior to Shaq and Duncan.
From Jordan's second retirement to 2007, Shaq and Duncan had each won four championships and three FMVP. This year, the Spurs had won the championship.
Except for the 2003 season where the pistons defeated the lakers, the remaining championships were won by duncan and shaq.
There were many specific reasons for the failure of the Los Angeles Clippers in 2003, but internal discord was a big part of it.
It could be said that in the finals, after Jordan, it was either Duncan or Shaq. They were the guarantee of winning.
" Rookie, you've successfully angered me!"
Kobe had a strong competitive spirit, and now that he was provoked by Shaq, he was really angry.
"Why? Do you want me to see blood? Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
Gu Yu was not afraid at all. He knew how scary Kobe could be when he was angry. Battier's blood staining the court was an example.
In fact, in the NBA, it had always been a common occurrence to carry a ball in a fight. Everyone had emotions and desires. No one could predict what would happen after they were angry.
Gu Yu knew very well that the Elbow of the Los Angeles Colossus would be even more terrifying.
"You'll know in a moment."
Kobe used the next door to block Gu Yu and directly went up to fight against Gu Yu.
However, Rondo came over with the ball and gave Gu Yu a hand-to-hand, followed by a pick-and-roll.
Coach Long had always been a player famous for his trash talk and small tricks. At this moment, the pick-and-roll successfully allowed Gu Yu to get rid of Kobe's entanglement.
Laker point guard Smash. Parker came over to fill in the gaps, but Gu Yu didn't take him seriously at all.
I'm taller than you, my arm span is longer than yours, and I can jump higher than you. What do you have to interfere with me?
In front of Smash. Gu Yu directly plucked Parker's face. He couldn't disturb Gu Yu at all.
Swoosh!
With the sound of the net being refreshed, Gu Yu's score reached 18 points.
After landing on the ground, Gu Yu continued to spew trash talk."Come on, you almost blocked me.”
Kobe did not say anything and glared at Smash. Parker glanced at him. The message in his eyes was clear: Keep an eye on your opponent.
