A key day! The NBA Finals between the Boston Celtics and the Dallas Mavericks face the second big night in one of the basketball coliseums, the TD Garden. It is the second chapter of a historic – and very beautiful – duel for the championship ring between the history of the Celtics and the jewel of basketball, Luka Doncic. Fundamental, because the court factor of the ‘Proud Greens’ can assert itself completely… or a surprise will arrive and blow up all the planned scripts before starting a battle that could last until the night of San Juan (June 24).
We know what precedent exists: Luka Doncic experienced his first time in the battle for the title with an enormous level (30 points, 10 rebounds and one assist), but the Boston Celtics dominated basketball from start to finish (107-89). In attack, led by the dazzling output of Kristaps Porzingis (20+6) and Jaylen Brown’s (22+6) sensational reaction when Dallas got into the start of the third game. And defense, between the abysmal difference in blocks (9 to one) or drying out a Kyrie Irving without any inspiration (12) on his return to the TD Garden. This is how 1-0 was built.
The Mavericks know what to change. “”I think it is very important what (Dallas coach) Jason Kidd said: have fun. But we also have to do a much better job on defense, remove those three-pointers, of which many have been released, and answer them,” he noted in a press conference prior to the second game. The Celtics, prepared… and motivated by that visit from Pep Guardiola. “We met about a year and a half ago. I always try to learn about how he carries himself, the humility of him, the joy, the passion, the work ethic that he has. The relationship he has with his players and obviously the success he has, and his love for football. I value our relationship very much, every time we are together it is a constant learning experience. It’s great to see a guy who has had so much success and wants to keep getting better, that he wants to keep learning. He has a lot of personality. Our relationship makes me better,” explained Joe Mazzulla, his coach.
This is how the two arrive. Thus comes the second battle that we have, from now on, throughout the MARCA Universe. We start with the second game of the NBA finals! Doncic, against the Celtics. History, against the prodigy of world basketball.
