Chapter 645: Fight for Faith!
On June 10, 2008, outside the North Shore Garden Arena in Boston, an hour before the start of the finals between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Boston Celtics, there was already a sea of people.
In the square outside the North Shore Garden Arena, fans wearing Seattle jerseys and Boston Celtics fans were already yelling!
“There are too many Ye’s fans at the scene!”
Wang Han and other CCTV reporters who were about to enter the square were really stunned when they saw the scene outside the square.
This is Boston!
In Boston, SuperSonics and Leafs fans can actually have such momentum!
In the square outside the North Shore Garden, the momentum of SuperSonics fans and coconut fans suppressed the Boston Celtics fans!
Although many Boston Celtics fans have already entered the stadium, even so, this is quite incredible.
"For a lot of Sonics fans and Leafs fans in the East, Seattle is just too far away."
"Yes, for them, when the Leafs and the Seattle SuperSonics come to Boston to play games or come to New York to play games, it is the home court of the SuperSonics. In their minds, the home court of the SuperSonics is not in Seattle, but in Boston or New York. .”
"This time, these three games in Boston are a big gathering and carnival of fans from the Eastern Conference and SuperSonics!"
Big gathering, big carnival?
Wang Han nodded slightly.
It’s no wonder that these coconut flour and Sonics fans in the east are completely different from those in the west, especially from the coconut flour and Sonics fans in Seattle.
In Seattle, even though the Seattle SuperSonics have won two consecutive finals, not many people shouted championship slogans. They said that if they don't put pressure on the Seattle SuperSonics, then they can't shout such slogans.
What's more, even though the SuperSonics are already leading 2-0 in the Finals, the Boston Celtics' championship probability predicted by ESPN experts is still as high as 90%, which is basically unchanged.
Regardless of the fact that the Sonics are currently leading 2-0, the Sonics have not won any away games.
In the NBA playoffs,
There has always been a saying that without winning the first away game, the playoffs have not started.
For this round of finals between the SuperSonics and the Celtics, the SuperSonics won their two home games, which is indeed equivalent to the series having not yet begun.
It's just obvious that these coconut fans and Sonics fans in the East can't care so much.
They don't have the conditions to wait for the SuperSonics to return to Seattle before reveling like Seattle fans do.
They were only able to witness the three games played in Boston.
The Seattle SuperSonics are now leading 2-0, and they don’t dare to win the championship now. When will they call for it?
The Boston Celtics, who don't care about it, haven't really exerted their strength yet. It seems that if they really exert their strength, they will definitely win. What if? !
So soon, the expressions on the faces of Wang Han and other CCTV reporters who stopped to observe these Eastern Coconut Fans and Supersonics fans changed.
These fans from the Eastern Conference and the SuperSonics are no longer satisfied with shouting ‘Champions’ in front of Boston Celtics fans! ’.
Shouting and shouting even ‘Sweep! ’ They all shouted out!
"Sister Han, I, did I hear it correctly? Sweeping the Boston Celtics?!"
Not only Wang Han was shocked by these crazy eastern coconut powder, but also everyone else next to her.
Such slogans are really scary to hear!
To put it bluntly, in terms of the strength comparison and matchup advantages between the Boston Celtics and SuperSonics, even if the SuperSonics lead 3-0, as long as the Celtics do not use Ray Allen as an advantage, the Seattle SuperSonics The Sonics can't even say they can win this series!
If he hadn't seen the sincere madness on the faces of these Eastern Coconut Fans and Supersonics fans, Wang Han would have even thought that these guys were just some anti-fans.
In the square of the North Shore Garden, Coconut fans and Sonics fans were crushing the Boston Celtics fans.
No matter how arrogant and greedy these Eastern Coconut Fans and Supersonics fans are, the Seattle SuperSonics are indeed leading 2-0 now. Faced with such disgusting cheers from these Eastern Coconut Fans and SuperSonics fans, Boston Celtics fans are really as uncomfortable as eating Xiang.
Before this series started, everyone said the Celtics would sweep the Seattle SuperSonics.
But now, the Seattle SuperSonics have the possibility of sweeping the Celtics.
Although this may be zero, as long as Ray Allen is used, the whole world knows that the final victory is the Boston Celtics.
This series will definitely be 4-2, with the Celtics winning 4 games in a row.
This is not just what they said, this is also what the experts at ESPN think!
Before the start of this game, ESPN stopped 100 experts from routinely predicting the final outcome of the series. The answer given by 90 experts was 4 to 2!
The Boston Celtics eventually won the championship 4-2.
Those experts who thought the Celtics could win all gave a big score of 4 to 2.
After falling behind 0-2, the final big score was 4-2. Isn't that just a 4-game winning streak?
The Celtics can win four games in a row in the future, which is great, but this is the future!
Now the Celtics are still behind 0-2!
It’s uncomfortable, very uncomfortable!
The Celtics fans outside the stadium were very uncomfortable!
On the court, as the head player of the Boston Celtics, Garnett is equally uncomfortable now.
The entire team supported him wholeheartedly in two games, both of which ended in losses.
And it's not a clear loss. The team's losses in these two games were really unclear!
The team has been maintaining a winning streak on the court, but for some reason, it just can't win.
To say that his efficiency is low, it is not as efficient as the Sonics?
Even if it is Yes, is the efficiency of these two games getting lower and lower against Pierce?
It can be said that Garnett can imagine that the only reason why the Celtics lost was luck!
If he really lost the chance of FMVP due to serious reasons, he would admit it. Just like Paul, Pierce may have lost the chance of FMVP because he was completely destroyed by Yes.
And his lack of chance of FMVP is actually due to luck.
According to ESPN statistics, the reason why the Seattle SuperSonics won these two games was indeed due to luck. In these two games, Yes's hit rate in key points reached more than 80%!
Yes's total shooting percentage in these two games was 26 of 46, a shooting percentage of just over 56%.
This hit rate is normal and acceptable.
But in terms of critical points and critical points, the hit rate of 80% is too high!
You know, Yes is facing Paul Pierce, and no one in this world can easily handle Paul Pierce!
Yes' 80% hit rate on key shots is the same as Ray Allen's 70% hit rate on three-pointers in this year's finals. It's all luck!
No matter how much advantage Ray Allen has against the SuperSonics, he can't normally throw such a hit rate.
Very unwilling!
Listening to the cheers of the Celtics fans at the scene, Garnett was really unwilling!
It doesn't matter if he is defeated by luck. In the end, the person he needs to give up the FMVP is Ray Allen...
However, no matter how unwilling he was, Garnett could only accept the new tactics Rivers formulated before the game.
After this game, the team will make every effort to create offensive tactics for Ray Allen!
"guys!"
"Now, we can't lose anymore!"
Although for the Celtics, the SuperSonics are a team that can be manipulated at will, but now it has indeed come to a time when they can no longer lose.
Falling behind 0-2, if we lose another game it will be 0-3!
Because of Yes and the SuperSonics, 0 to 3 is no longer a natural barrier, but the pressure is too great!
The upcoming game at North Shore Garden is very lively, with Boston Celtics fans throughout the venue chanting ‘.G! ’ It’s shocking but also reminds me of
When it comes to the ‘.A!’ that first sounded here! ’.
"The game hasn't even started yet, but Boston Celtics fans are telling the world and the entire league how to shout such a slogan to be more powerful."
"Kenny, I think you are right. When it comes to this kind of slogan, no one in the world is more powerful than the fans here."
Barkley, who was standing on the sidelines with a microphone, was joking with his partner.
In this year's finals, Barkley and his partners also assumed many hosting roles.
The videos of Barkley interviewing Yes in the first Finals are the most popular videos on YouTube right now.
Many people like to see Barkley being 'humiliated'.
Just like many people also like to watch Ray Allen constantly 'humiliating' Rondo during the game.
The video of Ray Allen using various boring moves to humiliate Rondo in this year's finals is equally popular on YouTube.
Many people have analyzed this kind of scene. Rondo and Barkley are the kind of guys who exude a mean spirit when walking on the road.
"Yes, did you hear the cheers from the Celtics fans? In the past ten years, I have only heard such shocking cheers in the 2004 Finals. Now the Celtics fans are shouting '.G !' To compete with the '.A!' that the Pistons fans chanted at the beginning, this is what the finals should be like, and this is also the real reason why the finals did not start without playing away games!"
"Yes, are you shocked by such a real finals? Do you really feel that the real finals are different from ordinary games?!"
"No."
"..."
Watching Barkley's interview with Yes on TV, Kobe couldn't help but laugh.
Although Barkley just mentioned the 2004 Finals that he has been very unhappy about.
but……
"This atmosphere is really nostalgic..."
In the next three games, it will be difficult for Yes and the SuperSonics...
Before the Kobe Bryant game, you didn't even need to look at the analysis of the next game by media experts to know what would happen next.
After all, both Yes and Ray Allen are his opponents.
He is very aware of Ray Allen's strength.
In Kobe's imagination, the much-anticipated Game 3 of the Finals between the Boston Celtics and SuperSonics finally began!
The Boston Celtics' starting lineup for this game is still Perkins, Garnett, Pierce, Tony Allen and Ray Allen.
The SuperSonics' starting lineup is still Milicic, Millsap, Quentin Richardson, Yes and Rondo.
"It seems that the starting lineup of the two teams has not changed at all. In fact, this game will be completely different!"
Although he was 'played' by Yes again when he was interviewing Yes, after returning to his commentary booth, Barkley's face was still full of worry about the SuperSonics game.
Kenny Smith also nodded repeatedly in response to Barkley's concerns.
The popularity of this round of the finals is so great that they don’t even need to say it. Fans all over the world are probably exhausted by the analysis report on the final trend of this series!
Ray Allen is the undefendable point in this series. How undefendable he is, the whole world will soon see!
After Garnett completely turned his anger and unwillingness into a tough bounce in this game, he defeated Milicic on the jump ball for the first time in this round of the finals, giving the Celtics the first goal of the game. attack.
After Garnett defeated Milicic with a jump ball, he did not perform the usual chest beating, but ran directly to the frontcourt!
"The Boston Celtics are actually on a fast break?!"
The fast-break Boston Celtics are as strange as the Suns suddenly adopting a big center strategy.
Even Yes and the SuperSonics players were a little shocked.
Facing the Celtics' fast break, although the SuperSonics players were surprised, they still returned to defense in a timely manner.
But in the end, Quentin Richardson and Millsap were still caught by Garnett in the three-point line. Ray Allen received the pass from Pierce and took the knife outside the three-point line at the top of the key. Lost three points of life!
3 to 0!
Seeing the Celtics' opening fast break, Barkley and Kenny Smith were stunned for a moment.
"This style..."
"Is this Ray Allen's style?!"
"The Boston Celtics' sudden fast-break tactics were tailor-made for Ray Allen!"
"In the past two years, Ray Allen, who has been cooperating with Pierce and Garnett, finally has his first offensive tactic of his own!"
"In this fast break, Garnett and Pierce are cooperating with Ray Allen!"
After hitting the three-pointer, Ray Allen turned around and left without any celebration or high-fiving anyone.
After two years here, the Celtics put his knife in the main hand for the first time.
And what he wants to kill is his favorite...the Seattle SuperSonics...
‘.G! ’
‘.G! ’
‘.G! ’
Listening to these incredible cheers coming from his ears, Ray Allen closed his eyes slightly.
Now he is not fighting for these cheers, not for this team, not for this city.
None of this was enough to make him stab his beloved.
He now wants to fight for his career and his basketball faith!
Ray Allen opened his eyes again, no longer confused at all!
