Allen, 2008 version.

Ray Allen has released a high-class performance in Game 2 of the NBA Finals against the Los Angeles Lakers. As in 2008 where he distinguished himself during the final six games, behind the Celtics put together a string of shots further and prove that he was a shooter off-standard.
Ray Allen has a composure. Final or not, the shooter Boston remained unmoved. His hands do not tremble. Unfortunately for them, Lakers are the privileged witnesses. In 2008, the former star of Seattle was one of the chief architects of the success of Boston face to Californians. With 20.3 points per game and three runs scored above 22 on 42 attempts, he blew the Lakers defense. Performance and regularity that would have allowed him to dream of the Finals MVP title, awarded to Paul Pierce. Sunday after a game where he has been limited by the errors and was unable to put a shot away, it emerged his costume as a sniper for the second game of the 2010 final.
On the floor of Staples Center, Allen became the first player to plant eight shots at winning a game of a final. At almost 35 years, he has not done to impress. "I have no words to sum up his performance, " Sliding Rajon Rondo, another great man of this meeting with a triple-double (19 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists). "It has no age. When I see him play, I can not give an account of his age, " Paul Pierce added. Impressed by its effectiveness and its durability, its partners are also in awe of his technique and perfect his silky shot: "This is a master in his art"Glen Davis finds while Michael Finley added a layer"This is one of the purest shooters in the game should show his shot to children."

" He is a master in his art "
If his teammates do not rave about it, Doc Rivers is also pleased with his performance. "It was great. Every year, teams have got to put a great player on Rondo and a smaller on Ray. This is not new. And each time, we can offer open shots to Ray ". On Sunday, the Celtics coach has enjoyed. A few months ago, yet he almost lost his rear. At the end of the transfer period, Boston had put out feelers to exchange his shooter against a player no longer young. Allen is finally stayed. One choice paying at the moment. But at the end of the final that the leaders of the franchise will take stock of Massachusetts.
Irregular since the start of the playoffs, Allen must stay on its momentum to continue to pose concerns the defense of the Lakers. He will not sign the same performance every night but its shoots far sow discord among Californians. Sunday's winners were thus forced the Purple and Gold to review their plans. Kobe Bryant, whose relationship with his complicated since 2004 *, has been forced to drop Rajon Rondo to take over from Derek Fisher. That did not stop the trigger from C's always difficult to stop when he has the hot hand and has good screens to get in position to strike. "It's great to turn around and say I did it" welcomes the one who unsheathed faster than his shadow and still loves hitting in the major events: "This is clearly yet. There is no better place, better time to play and win a meeting". The Lakers, who were accused., Are still a little more ...
*"It will be very selfish. He wants to show everyone he can play without Shaq ", Ray Allen had launched in October 2004 about Bryant, who had not tasted this reflection.
