Chapter 903 Eight Crown Champions! ! !
Yellow and green battle!
Lakers VS Celtics!
Los Angeles vs. Boston!
Since the 1980s, the two most glorious teams, the Lakers and Celtics, have not met in the playoffs.
Magic and Bird led the NBA into the modern era, and after the two of them retired, the team invariably entered into reconstruction.
The Lakers' rebuild comes faster! The addition of O'Neal and Kobe directly brought this team to the top again.
The Celtics, after a long period of rest and training, gradually collected outstanding players such as Tracy McGrady, Billups, Van Horn, Penny, Roaring God, Tony Allen, Perkins, and Jefferson!
Both teams are the most legendary teams of this era. From stars to starters to substitutes, they are impeccable.
Many people believe that few teams in history can beat these two teams.
The current Lakers and Celtics are the greatest products of modern basketball.
"Kobe, this moment has finally come." McGrady stood on the floor of Staples, looking at Kobe calmly.
McGrady has been looking forward to this scene since his All-Star days in Cleveland.
In the finals, stand opposite Kobe and have a great battle with him!
Kobe walked to the court amid the DJ's shouts of honor and the fans' cheers.
The No. 24 jersey is extremely dazzling.
This series carries too much history.
And now, it's time to write a new history!
"It's so exciting! The series between the Lakers and Celtics is so exciting!"
"Kobe and Tracy McGrady competed throughout the game. After Jordan, it was the first time I saw a player whose physical talent suppressed Kobe in all aspects!"
"Excellent talent! McGrady's talent is really amazing."
"Billups, the player who should be thrown into the trash can, actually became the Celtics' rhythm controller? He once suppressed Nash's rhythm?"
"Pence! In this round of the series, Anthony faced off against Pence. Pence relied on his old experience to make it difficult for Melo."
"Van Horn was severely suppressed by Big Ben, and Roaring Heavenly Lord didn't have a good way to face Dayao."
"Both teams are equally matched! Each has its own merits!"
When Kobe and Tracy McGrady struggled, and Billups and Nash struggled, Yao Ming became the winner of the game.
Facing the roaring king Rasheed Wallace who limited the German tank in the last round, Yao Ming was like a god of war. He took turns performing eighteen martial arts in different positions and different playing styles, scoring a playoff-high 37 points in a single game. 14 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 blocks, and 4 turnovers disrupted Pitino's arrangement, opened up the situation, and won the game.
Yao Ming's explosion caught Pitino off guard, and Van Horn was not a fourth position capable of assisting defense.
Reluctantly, Tony Allen started, allowing the young man to face Kobe.
Young Tony Allen was full of energy to defend Kobe Bryant.
But Kobe taught him the cruelty of the league.
61 points! 61 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 5 steals, 3 blocks and 2 turnovers.
Kobe Bryant scored 60+ points again in G2 at Staples and won two consecutive victories!
The Lakers defended their home court, and all the pressure came to the Celtics.
Back in Boston, the shouts of Celtics fans were deafening!
This is a fateful confrontation!
“BEAT LA!!!”
“BEAT LA!!!”
The Celtics players are united and united!
Pence and McGrady started a pick-and-roll!
Fight against Kobe and Ben!
In the end, McGrady hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer before the end, scoring a triple-double of 47 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists, and won G3.
After this game, McGrady lived up to expectations and became the only outside superstar in the league who could compete head-on with Kobe!
In G4, both sides once again experienced a meat grinder-like battle.
In the confrontation with Billups, Nash finally found his form and took over the Lakers' offensive attack.
Run and gun strikes again!
The two teams ran and attacked like crazy!
Played an unimaginable number of offensive rounds.
In the end, the Lakers scored a finals-high 147 points, while the Celtics scored 132 points!
The Lakers win again!
3:1!
New MVP Nash scored 25 points and 21 assists.
McGrady had 51 points.
G5, back to Los Angeles!
"It's time to reap our glory." Kobe left the Lakers players with a tall back and stepped onto the court first.
This battle ends the series!
Under McGrady's strong request, Pitino still asked McGrady to face off against Kobe for the entire game.
Since there is no hope of winning the series, let your ace players open their hearts!
The showdown between McGrady and Kobe reached its climax in the first battle!
It seems to be back to the classic one-on-one battle between Jordan and Kobe.
McGrady and Kobe took over the game.
It’s bullfighting!
It’s a one-on-one challenge!
The two sides were evenly matched in the first three quarters!
But later in the game, the gap between McGrady's physical fitness and willpower compared to Kobe became apparent.
In the end, Kobe scored 71 points.
McGrady scored 60 points.
The Lakers once again lifted the O'Brien Trophy at Staples.
Lakers win second consecutive championship!
The next year, the league's stars began to spontaneously form teams to resist the Lakers.
Byron Scott was poached from the Lakers coaching staff and became the head coach of the Pelicans.
Casey was hired by the Raptors.
Brian Shaw was poached by the Nuggets.
Randolph and Okur's contracts have also expired. The Lakers have no way to match the sky-high contracts offered by other teams and can only let them go.
Randolph joins Trail Blazers.
Okur joins Jazz.
This year, the Lakers' running and gunning dynasty began to enter a period of decline.
Billups left the Celtics and joined the Grizzlies.
Grant Hill almost joined the Celtics, but was eventually blocked by CP3 and had to agree to stay.
Malone, Pippen and other veterans retired one after another.
In the end, the Lakers finished the regular season with 61 wins and 21 losses, ranking third in the Western Conference.
The Grizzlies, first in the Western Conference, won 68 games.
The second king in the Western Conference won 63 games.
And Nash suffered a hamstring strain in the second half of the season, which greatly affected his movement speed.
People once thought the Lakers' run-and-gun dynasty was over.
But the playoffs are the stage for the brave.
In the first round, they defeated the new Jazz team consisting of Rookie of the Year Deron, Ak47, Boozer, and Okur 4:1.
In the second round, he played 7 games against the Kings.
Anthony and Yao Ming are completely mature. In this series, when Nash was in poor condition and Kobe was surrounded by unlimited double-teams, they were able to handle the situation.
Barbosa, Korver, Ariza and others also showed their talents.
The Lakers came back from a 2:3 deficit to defeat the Kings and advance to the Western Conference Finals!
They were greeted by the new MVP Vince Carter!
The demigod Carter led the team to the best record in the league this season, averaging 30.5 points, 8.9 rebounds, 8.1 assists, 1.7 steals, 0.8 blocks and 2.7 turnovers per game.
The addition of Billups means that the Grizzlies took a fancy to his ability to control Nash's rhythm.
This year, Nash, who was dragging his injured leg, was completely suppressed by Billups.
Gasol and Yao Ming exchanged gifts.
Anthony is blocked by Shane Battier.
The confrontation between Kobe and Carter became the key to the series.
Carter's strength suppressed Kobe, but Kobe was smart enough to activate the off-ball mode.
Unlike last year's game against McGrady, Kobe's style of play changed again.
run!
They just bully you for being heavy and slow to change your center of gravity.
And Carter showed no sign of weakness and relied on his body to beat Kobe!
At this time, Carter was the strongest defender in history.
Kobe couldn't bear it and could only limit the interference to a certain extent.
In the end, the two sides played seven games again.
And in G7 double overtime, Kobe scored 7 points in a row and finally won the game.
Difficult to advance to the finals!
Have the Lakers declined this year?
Nash's injury, the departure of the coaching staff, and the Lakers' weak inside substitutes after Randolph and Okur left, all show that the Lakers' strength this year is not as good as before!
But they still entered the finals step by step, difficult but determined!
On the other side, the situation in the east is still chaotic.
The Heat, Pacers, Cavaliers, Celtics, and Hornets were in melee.
Finally the Pacers reached the finals!
The confrontation between the Lakers and the Pacers has a tragic color.
The Lakers, at the end of their dynasty, ushered in the summer to strengthen again, trading Richardson to supplement the Pacers in their prime who were left vacant by the old Miller.
Nash played with an injury. In G1, the injury worsened and he had to withdraw.
Nash is the soul of the Lakers' bombardment system. After he left the court, the Lakers' offense dropped by more than one level.
Artest and Ben had a big fight, and both were ejected and suspended at the same time.
The Lakers let Ginobili and Ariza start the game.
Nowitzki takes turns punishing Anthony and Ariza!
Kobe can only carry the team by himself.
2:1!
The Pacers win two games first!
Their defense is so tough!
The Lakers were cornered.
71+11+14!
Kobe Bryant used a 70+ triple-double! The performance of the legendary god of war equalized the score with everyone's exclamations!

In the Battle of Tianwang Mountain, Kobe personally defended Nowitzki!
Invincible performance on both offense and defense.
Taking the lead, the other Lakers players are in high morale.
Anthony scored 31 points!
Yao Ming had a triple-double of 24+17+11.
Won G5 at 117:105!
In G6, Nowitzki and Reggie Miller went crazy. This was their last chance to win the championship.
The Pacers scored a team-high 21 three-pointers in the Finals.
Tie-break!
Lakers three consecutive tiebreakers!
At its peak, the run-and-gun dynasty swept 16 games and won the championship.
At the end of the dynasty, they had three consecutive tiebreakers.
Nash closed the game and forced the game.
A life and death battle!
Both sides tried their best.
This is a man's stage!
This is the gladiator's arena!
At this moment, the fighting spirit of the players on both sides is enough to move any spectator who sees this game!
In the end, the Lakers had the last laugh.
85:72!
