NBA 2008 Finals: Celtic Revival, Pierce and Garnett led the green shirts to win the championship
The 2008 NBA finals became a classic match. The Celtics revived this season, and the green shirts led by Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett finally won the championship. This final is not only a game, but also a chapter about the return of Celtic glory.
The Celtics, as one of the most successful teams in NBA history, had not won the championship for 22 quarters before 2008. However, this year they made a comeback and reshaped the glory of the team. The opponent of the final is the Los Angeles Lakers, which is also a match between two traditional giants.
Revival of the Green Shirts
The revival of the Celtics began in the summer of 2007, when they acquired Kevin Garnett through trade, and formed a strong double star combination with Paul Pierce, who has played for many years in the team. The deal caused a sensation, and fans' expectations of Celtic also soared.
In the regular season, the Celtics showed great strength, and they ranked first in the East with a record of 66 wins and 16 losses. The tacit cooperation between Pierce and Garnett made the team's attack difficult, and Ray Allen's three-point shot brought infinite firepower to the team. They went all the way to the finals in the playoffs.
Competition in the finals
The first game of the finals was held in Boston's TD Garden Stadium, and the fans were waiting for the start of the match with great anticipation. After the game started, the Celtics showed strong defensive pressure. They restricted the attack of the Lakers and showed excellent cooperation and personal ability on the offensive side. In the end, the Celtics beat the Lakers 98-88 to win the first game in the finals.
In the next game, the Celtics continued to maintain an excellent state. They defeated the Lakers again with 108-102 in the second game, expanding the total score to 2-0. Pierce and Garnett performed well in these two games, and their scores and rebounds were far more than other players.
However, the Lakers did not give up. They ushered in a crucial third game at home. Kobe Bryant led the Lakers to show their super personal ability. He scored 36 points and helped the team win 87-81 against Celtics. This victory helped the Lakers regain their confidence.
The moment when the green shirts won the championship
The fourth game became the decisive one. The Celtics are eager to win the championship at home. At the beginning of the game, the Celtics showed a strong fighting spirit, and they had a 14 point lead in the first quarter. Although the Lakers tried to catch up later in the game, the Celtics always kept the lead. In the end, they defeated the Lakers 97-91 and won the championship 3-1 overall.
At this moment, the Celtics players cheered and the fans were boiling. This is a historic moment. The Celtics have ended their 22 year championship drought and returned to the peak of the NBA. Pierce and Garnett became heroes of the team, and their leadership and outstanding performance made people remember.
