Four keys to a ring.

How to manage cases Kobe Bryant and Rajon Rondo? Ron Artest does happen to contain Paul Pierce? And who will dominate the racket? Questions unanswered for the moment but that will decide the fate of the NBA Finals between the Boston Celtics and the Lakers, which begins tonight.

TIME Artest:
"This is his chance to shine." Phil Jackson set the record straight. Arriving in LA for a tougher defense, Ron Artest is expected for its first NBA Finals. Throughout the season, the contribution of Ron Ron has been challenged in California. Since the start of the playoffs, it finally appears in his sneakers. Highly visible in defense on Kevin Durant in the first round, he has another client facing him in the final with Paul Pierce. His mission: to minimize the Truth, which had been very poorly the Lakers in 2008 and was named MVP of the Finals.

MANAGING THE CASE RONDO:
Derek Fisher will suffer. The former Denver player is not the first comer. He has the experience to him and shows regularly in the precious moments with her hot winning shots. On paper, the duel between the two leaders, however, leans heavily on the side of Rajon Rondo. With its lively, its unpredictability and its aggressiveness in defense, the Celtics' point guard is one of the key players of the C's. Throughout the playoffs, he has emerged as one of the best players in the league. If the Lakers should run defense to try to stop it, the former resident of the University of Kentucky will be hard to stop the transition game. To make matters worse, Fisher will be difficult to exist in attack before one of the best defenders in the league. In Phil Jackson to find the key to the riddle.

BRYANT, AS IN 2008?
Boston knows it: the vengeful Kobe Bryant could put 30 points or more in each game of the final. For C's, we must above all keep him from his teammates shine. And try to use the defense that he will lose a bit of his lucidity at the time money. This will be the task of Ray Allen, flamboyant final two years ago (20.3 pts average with 22 runs scored three of 42 attempts), the talented but erratic Tony Allen and Rajon Rondo yet. Many have broken teeth in recent years but the Celtics have already shown they were capable of doing. In 2008, KB24 was limited to 40.6% field goal on the final six games.

A DOMINATE A RACKET:
The painting will be overloaded. With dual-Garnett Gasol and Bynum-Perkins in the five major replacements and the level of Lamar Odom for the Lakers, Glen Davis or Rasheed Wallace to Boston, the battle promises to be hot under the circles. Mastered by the industry within the C's in 2008, Pau Gasol was determined to rectify this but Kevin Garnett has found his level since the start of the postseason. This clash of heavyweights in the rackets could also depend on the health status of Andrew Bynum. Absent from the 2008 final because of a knee injury, the central California is still limited by physical concerns. He underwent drainage before the final to withdraw cash from his knee. It will not be at 100% capacity. But what will its impact? The less clear.
