Countless fans felt regretful and sighed for the Cavaliers' failure to enter the finals. However, people's attention soon shifted from the Cavaliers, because the 2019-2020 NBA finals were about to begin.

According to the ranking of the record, the Lakers surpassed the Celtics, so they have a home advantage. The first game of the finals will be held at the Staples Center Arena in Los Angeles.

Two days ago, Celtics players had already arrived in Los Angeles.

The reason why I came two days in advance was to recover. After all, just after the Eastern Conference Finals, players need a recovery period in terms of physical fitness and mental state. The Celtics do not want to affect the players by train.

In Los Angeles, the Celtics temporarily rented an indoor stadium. In two days, the Celtics trained in this stadium to prepare for the finals, hoping to face the first game of the finals at their best.

There are seven games in a series, but not every series will play seven games, so the first game is particularly important. Whoever wins the first game is equivalent to taking the lead.

As for falling behind first and then overtaking, that's only a few.

At the same time, the Lakers are also actively preparing for the game, and everyone is very serious. Although they are facing the young Celtics this time, not the Cavaliers led by James, since the Celtics can defeat the Cavaliers, it is enough to show their strength. Moreover, this is the first time the Lakers have met the Celtics in the finals in recent years, and they have no experience, so no one dares to be careless.

In fact, if the Lakers were given a choice, they would rather face the Cavaliers.

First, it is not the first time they have met the Cavaliers in the finals in recent years. They have a lot of experience and know each other well. Second, the Lakers have long known James' "weakness" and have targeted arrangements. If they really meet, they are confident that they will defeat the Cavaliers and win the finals.

But now facing the Celtics means that everything has to be pushed back and started over. It is a brand new opponent and a young opponent, with too much uncertainty.

This is a bit of a headache for Scott.

Fortunately, the Lakers are not unprepared. They just set the imaginary enemy as the Cavaliers at the beginning, and actually did some research on the Celtics, but now they are just further deepening.

In fact, these are just secondary, the key is to rely on the players.

The Lakers have a number of outstanding players such as Chen Feng, Yu Qian, Shi Xiaomeng, Love, Okafor, Clarkson, Randall, Larry Nance Jr., Beverly, etc. Scott is unreasonable and unconfident.

In a tense atmosphere, the first game of the finals finally arrived.

On this day, tens of thousands of people gathered outside the Staples Arena, no more people watching the game than in the Staples. Among them are Lakers fans and Celtics fans. After all, the Celtics rarely reached the finals again after a few years, so the Celtics fans were naturally very excited and looked forward to it.

......

"beep......"

At seven o'clock, the competition officially begins.

In the front audience, Xiaowei, Jiang Ting, Chen Feng’s parents, including Christine, Sophie, Lin Xuemo, Fang Yuling, Liu Wen and others were all doing it. In addition, Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, Kobe and others also came to the scene to cheer for Chen Feng and the others.

In every final, as Chen Feng and his relatives and friends, these people must be present.

Of course, in addition to these people, there are many entertainment circles, sports stars, business tycoons, etc. Anyway, almost none of them are ordinary people in the audience close to the stadium.

"here we go."

People stared at the stadium without blinking, and saw Xiao Meng and Gasol jumping at the same time. Xiao Meng was still young, bounced and explosive. They caught the ball first and pointed the ball to the backcourt.

Chen Feng took the ball and began to advance.

Today, the Lakers' starting lineup is still Chen Feng, Hill, Yu Qian, Love, and Shi Xiaomeng; while on the side of the Celtics, the starting lineup is Thomas Jr., Bradley, Matthews, Griffin, and Gasol.

"Is it joint defense?"

When he advanced to the frontcourt, Chen Feng slowed down. The Celtics set up a joint defense formation, and Thomas Jr. Defend Chen Feng. However, it is obvious that the Celtics do not expect Thomas Jr. to really limit Chen Feng. His defense is very high, which means that the focus is on defending Chen Feng's three-pointers. As for Chen Feng's breakthrough, the Celtics' joint defense can limit this to a certain extent.

However, Chen Feng is not the only one in the Lakers.

With a whoosh, Chen Feng passed the ball to Yu Qian. Yu Qian took the ball and made a breakthrough. Matthews did not react slowly, but he was still over half of his position by Yu Qian's first step as fast as lightning. The Celtics' inside line behind had to make adjustments and pounce on Yu Qian.

At this time, Yu Qian passed the ball and gave it to Chen Feng.

Seeing Chen Feng grab the ball from the outside, the Celtics players were in a thunderous heart, and they immediately adjusted their defense and rushed towards Chen Feng.

However, at this time, the Celtics' defense line had been pulled and deformed, and the joint defense formation was a little scattered and could not cover the entire half, which led to a chance at the low post. Chen Feng passed the ball with a hit, and the ball passed through the gap between the defenders and fell into Love's hands. Love threw and scored two points.

Turning around, the Celtics fight back.

Thomas Jr. pushed forward with the ball. After crossing the center line, he looked at the situation on the court and made a gesture for Gasol. Gasol came up to pick-and-roll, and Thomas Jr. moved to the side, but Xiao Meng immediately came up to delay, making Thomas Jr. unable to find a chance, so he could only choose to pass the ball and passed it to Matthews. Matthews took the ball and made a point to break through, but in fact he was a pullback.

Swish!

Also hit, the score was 2:2.

On this side, the Lakers attacked and passed the ball several times, but they did not find a good opportunity. Chen Feng put the ball into the inside and let Xiao Meng play single. However, as soon as he got the ball, the Celtics immediately assisted in defense and double-teaming.

Xiao Meng passed the ball and gave it to the outside line. Yu Qian made a three-pointer, but failed to make a shot. Griffin took the rebound and immediately passed it to Thomas Jr. The Celtics launched a fast break. Thomas Jr., Matthews, and Bradley rushed to the frontcourt in a finished font. Thomas Jr. and Matthews Jr. attracted defense, and Bradley made a three-pointer.

Swish!

Also enter, the score is 5:2.

"The Celtics are in good shape today."

"It's good. After all, I finally managed to kill the Cavaliers and make it to the finals, and I'm full of motivation."

"Ha, this is just the beginning..."

At the beginning of the game, the Celtics played very proactively, had a very determined and organized attack, and the players felt very good and had a high shooting percentage.

The Lakers played very calmly, neither arrogant nor impatient, nor anxious. It seemed that the Celtics played well, but they were not behind in the scores.
Chapter completed!
