随着他们2009夺冠,湖人把总决赛的战绩提高到了15-15.那我们看一下他们是怎么一路走来的
1 of 25 明尼阿波利斯湖人
Led by dominant big man George Mikan, the Lakers won five titles insix years in Minneapolis (1949-50; 1952-54). They also reached the 1959Finals behind Rookie of the Year Elgin Baylor but lost to the Celtics,who launched their run of eight consecutive championships. The Lakersmoved to Los Angeles in 1960.
The first Boston-L.A. Finals was a classic, thanks to Jerry West'sgame-winning steal and layup in Game 3, Elgin Baylor's 61-pointeruption in Game 5 and the Celtics' 110-107 overtime victory in Game 7.
Bob Cousy retired a champion as the Celtics denied Jerry West and Elgin Baylor again, this time in six games.

4 of 25 1965-输凯而特人
The hard part for the Celtics was getting to the Finals, as theyneeded John Havlicek's famous steal to put away the 76ers in Game 7 ofthe East Division championship. With the Lakers' Elgin Baylor sidelinedby a knee injury, Boston's average margin of victory in its four Finalswins was 23 points.
Calling it a "great way to go out," Red Auerbach won his eighthconsecutive championship (and ninth overall) in his swan song as Bostoncoach. Auerbach announced during the series that he would be replacedby Bill Russell, who finished with 25 points and 32 rebounds in thedecisive Game 7.
First-year coach Butch van Breda Kolff couldn't reverse theLakers' fortunes against Bill Russell and the Celtics, who had a hardertime getting past the defending champion 76ers in the Eastern Divisionfinals.
Another Celtics legend went out a winner: Bill Russell retired asa player after collecting his 11th championship, spoiling a brilliantseries by Jerry West, who averaged 37.9 points and became the first(and still only) player from a losing team to be named Finals MVP. InGame 7, the Celtics nearly squandered a 17-point fourth-quarter lead,but, thanks in part to Don Nelson's famous last-minute shot near thefree-throw line, held on to win 108-106.
The series is best remembered for an inspirational appearance byWillis Reed in New York's Game 7 win, but it also featured Jerry West'sbuzzer-beating 60-footer to force OT in Game 3; another OT finish inGame 4; the Knicks' comeback from a 13-point halftime deficit to winGame 5 after Reed left with a leg injury; Wilt Chamberlain's 45-point,27-rebound domination in L.A's Game 6 win; and Walt Frazier's 36-point,19-assist tour de force in Game 7.
After a record-breaking regular season under first-year coach BillSharman -- the Lakers won 33 consecutive games and finished 69-13, thebest mark until the 1995-96 Bulls went 72-10 -- L.A. finally brokethrough for its first title since moving west in 1960.
The third Knicks-Lakers Finals matchup in four years ended with afive-game victory for New York, which got the best of the aging WiltChamberlain and Jerry West. The Lakers would go another seven yearsbefore advancing to the Finals again.
With Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (ankle) sidelined for Game 6, rookie MagicJohnson moved to center and led the Lakers to a series-clinching123-107 victory. Johnson, the Finals MVP, had 42 points and 15 rebounds
In November, Magic Johnson was demanding a trade (the Lakersresponded by replacing coach Paul Westhead with Pat Riley) and gettingbooed at home. By June, he was winning the Finals MVP award again,controlling the Game 6 clincher with 13 points, 13 rebounds and 13assists.
With first-year Sixer Moses Malone joining Julius Erving,Philadelphia went 65-17 in the regular season and won 12 of 13 playoffgames, including all four in the Finals against the injury-plaguedLakers.
The first Finals duel between Larry Bird and Magic Johnson lived upto expectations, from Gerald Henderson's improbable steal to save theCeltics in Game 2, to Kevin McHale's clothesline of Kurt Rambis thathelped turn the tide in the Game 4 overtime classic, to the Lakers'furious comeback in their Game 7 loss in Boston.
The series started with a more-of-the-same feel as the Celticswhipped the Lakers 148-114 in what became known as the Memorial DayMassacre. But the Lakers bounced back to win Game 2 in Boston, took twoof three in Los Angeles (losing Game 4 on Dennis Johnson'sbuzzer-beating jumper) and finished off the Celtics on their home floorin Game 6 behind Finals MVP Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's 29 points. Finally,the Lakers had beaten the Celtics in the Finals after eight consecutiveseries losses.
In one of the most memorable moments in Finals history, MagicJohnson won Game 4 with what he called his "junior, junior, junior skyhook." That victory in Boston gave the Lakers a 3-1 lead; they wrappedit up two games later in Los Angeles, where 39-year-old KareemAbdul-Jabbar scored 32 points and Magic closed with 16 points, 19assists and eight rebounds. Johnson became the fourth player to win theregular-season and Finals MVP awards.
Games 6 and 7 alone made this series an all-timer. First, in Game 6,Isiah Thomas scored 25 third-quarter points on a sprained ankle, butthe Lakers overtook the Pistons in the final minute and won 103-102 tostay alive. In Game 7, with the injury limiting Thomas, the Lakersstaved off the Pistons' late rally behind James Worthy, who finishedwith 36 points, 16 rebounds and 10 assists.
In 43-year-old Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's swan song, injuries to MagicJohnson and Byron Scott hampered the Lakers and cleared the way for theBad Boys to sweep the series.
After winning five titles in the 1980s, the Lakers passed the torchto Michael Jordan and the Bulls, who won this series to begin their runof six championships in eight seasons.
The Shaq- and Kobe-led Lakers did their heavy lifting in Game 7 ofthe Western Conference finals when they rallied from a 15-pointfourth-quarter deficit to topple the Trail Blazers. They dispatchedReggie Miller and the Pacers in six games in the Finals for the firstof three consecutive championships
A Game 1 overtime loss to Allen Iverson and Co. was the Lakers' onlydefeat in 16 postseason games. Shaquille O'Neal averaged 33.0 pointsand 15.8 rebounds in the Finals.

After surviving a classic and controversial series against theKings in the Western Conference finals, the Lakers swept the Nets fortheir third consecutive championship. Shaquille O'Neal joined MichaelJordan as the only players to win three Finals MVP awards in a row.
A six-game loss to the Pistons spelled the end of the Shaq-Kobeera in Los Angeles. O'Neal was traded after the season and Phil Jacksondeparted as coach (only to return a year later). Minus Shaq, Kobe wouldmiss the playoffs in 2005 and lose in the first round in '06 and '07.
Boosted by a midseason trade for Pau Gasol, the Lakers lost onlythree games in the first three rounds of the playoffs. But theycouldn't get past a highly motivated Celtics team that swarmed KobeBryant on one end and spread the wealth among three future Hall ofFamers (Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen) on the other.
The Lakers prevailed in two overtime games and handled Orlando infive as Kobe Bryant won his first championship without Shaquille O'Nealand Phil Jackson won his record 10th title as a coach.
