The most intense finals in NBA history started in less than 3 seconds, and the intensity was directly increased

Can you imagine a finals series, with only 2 of 7 games scoring over 100 points? Can you imagine how much two super strong teams fought for a championship? That summer in 2010, the Lakers and the Celtics used 7 earth-shaking battles to interpret what it means to "either you die or I live"!

That year, Kobe was 34 years old, which is likely to be his last chance to win the championship in his career. That year, the three Celtics were already veterans and were also eager to add another championship. When two teams with the belief in winning collide together, the chemical reaction produced is simply at the level of nuclear explosion!

To be honest, when I think back to the finals in 2010, I still get goosebumps. That tense and exciting atmosphere, the intensity of life and death fighting, is truly unprecedented. Today we will relive this classic duel that has been recorded in history!

G1: The blood was seen in 3 seconds of the game, and the Lakers took the lead

June 3, 2010, Staples Center. When Artest and Pierce collided in just 3 seconds of the opening game, everyone knew that this round of series would definitely not be calm!

Think about it, it’s 3 seconds to start! Before the ball was transported a few times, the two of them had already started to fight with each other. The referee directly gave both sides a technical foul, and the atmosphere in the entire Staples Center was instantly ignited. This is not the beginning of the basketball game, it is clearly the clarion call of the war! In that game, Kobe and Gasol played quite well. Kobe's "I just want to win" look, Gasol's delicate skills like a European big man, the two cooperated perfectly. In the end, the Lakers won the game 102-89 and started well, but the score seemed easy, and in fact every point was made.

Speaking of which, it is really important for the Lakers to win in G1. If you lose in the first game, how much pressure will be next? Kobe must have held his breath to prove that he could still win the championship, so he played very focused in that game.

G2: Ray Allen transformed into a three-pointer rain god, and the Celtics tied strongly

If G1 is the Lakers' home court, then G2 will completely become Ray Allen's personal show!

The gentleman sword Lei Alun was really crazy that night! He scored 7 three-pointers in the first half, making 8 of 11 shots in the game, with an outrageous shooting percentage. You have to know that this is the stage of the finals, how high is the defense intensity? But Ray Allen was able to continuously hit three-pointers under that suffocating defense.

I remember when I was watching the live broadcast, whenever Ray Allen received the ball, the entire TD Garden Arena would burst into deafening cheers. It felt like the audience knew that as long as the ball was in the hands of Ray Allen, they would definitely get in! This is the charm of a super shooter!

103-94, the Celtics won a goal at the Lakers' home court. I still remember Kobe's expression after the game. The unwillingness and "you are waiting" look is really full of murderous aura.

G3: Fisher is still strong, and the Lakers have won the away game and come to Boston. The home atmosphere of the Celtics is really nothing to say. The historical heritage of TD Garden Arena and the aura of "we are NBA giants" have put a lot of pressure on the Lakers.

But at the critical moment, the veteran has to stand up! Derek Fisher, the old point guard, suddenly broke out in the fourth quarter, and scored 11 points by himself! You have to know that Fisher was 35 years old at the time and was already considered an antique-level existence at the NBA, but he was able to stand up at the most critical moment.

91-84, the Lakers narrowly won away! Do you understand this score? The 7-point difference is basically equivalent to dancing on the tip of the knife in a finals level. Every round, every attack, every defense may determine the direction of the game.

Fisher said something after that game, and I was particularly impressed by it: "On the stage of the finals, experience is everything." This is right! Young players may have better physical fitness, but in this moment of life and death, they still have to rely on the experience of veterans and their big heart.

G4: The Celtics equalized at home, and the series returned to the starting point

and returned to Boston's second game, and the Celtics showed what home court advantage was. The whole team is in full swing, while the Lakers are a little unable to find the rhythm.

94-89, the Celtics equalized the score! At this time, the series returned to a 2-2 tie, and everything had to start again. Can you feel that kind of pressure? After four games, no one got the absolute advantage. Every game that followed was a life-and-death battle!

At this time, the psychological pressure on the players on both sides reached their limits. Kobe's desire to prove himself, Garnett's determination to "I want to bring a championship to Boston, Pierce's unyielding reluctance, everyone's emotions were extremely tense.

G5: Battle of Tianwang Mountain, the Celtics won the match point

Battle of Tianwang Mountain, which may be the most critical game in the entire series. Kobe really fought hard in that game, scoring 38 points in the whole game! 38 points! The ability to score 38 points under the defensive intensity of the finals shows that Kobe really entered the "Death Mode" that night.

But basketball is a game of 5 people after all. The combination of Celtics Big Three + Rondo performed so well that day, and the team played basketball smoothly. In the end, 92-86, the Celtics got the match point!

I still remember the scene of Kobe sitting in the locker room after the game. That kind of unwillingness, that kind of "how is it possible" expression is really heartbreaking. How helpless is this for a superstar who can't win the game even if he can't even score 38 points?

G6: In the battle against the enemy, the Lakers PUBG face the danger of being eliminated, and the Lakers returned to their home court to make their final struggle. At this time, Gasol stood up! In that game, the combination of Gasol and Kobe finally found the best chemistry. Kobe scored 26 points, Gasol also performed well. The two matched inside and outside, making the Celtics powerless.

89-67! A big victory of 22 points! This is probably the easiest game for the Lakers to play in the entire series. But you have to know, what is the basis for this ease? It is based on the desperate situation of "going home if you don't win"!

After that game, Kobe said: "We still have a chance, that's enough." A simple sentence, but the determination and belief revealed are really touching.

G7: The most classic decisive battle in history, with a shocking victory of 83-79

June 17, 2010, Staples Center. This day is destined to be recorded in the history of the NBA!

The seventh finals, this is the scene that every basketball fan dreams of. Two super strong teams fought to the death in the last game for a championship! The match was in full swing from the beginning, with both sides coming and going, and the scores were always tight. Artai and Pierce clashed again, but no one cared about these little frictions this time. Everyone knew that there was only one thing that was most important - win this game!

At the critical moment, Artest made the priceless three-pointer! I remember that after Arte hit that ball, the entire Staples Center was about to explode! That kind of release, that kind of carnival, is really indescribable.

On the Celtics, Rondo missed the opportunity to equalize the score. In this way, 83-79, the Lakers narrowly won! The difference of only 4 points determines the belonging of the entire season!

Why is this final so classic?

Looking back at this round of finals, I think there are several reasons why it can become a classic:

Defensive intensity is unprecedented: only 2 games in 7 games scored more than 100 points, what does this mean? This shows that both sides have fought to the extreme in defense! Every attack requires thousands of difficulties to score. This intensity of confrontation is hard to see in the current NBA.

The inheritance of star players: This is likely to be Kobe's last chance to win the championship and the final sprint of the three Celtics. The showdown between two generations of superstars is hard to come by.

Continuation of historical grievances: Lakers vs. Celtics, this is the most classic duel combination in NBA history. From Magic vs Big Bird to Kobe vs Big Three, this inheritance and continuation has added too much historical heritage to the game.

The suspense was maintained until the end: 7 games, narrowly won by the last 4 points. This drama is really something that the screenwriter dares not write like this!

After watching this round of finals, you will really understand what "the charm of basketball" means. The spirit of trying all out for a goal, the belief of never giving up, these things are more precious than any gorgeous data.
