Chapter 592 [Swept again, career peak]
The second round of the Western Bulls and Horses battle was fierce, and the Mavericks won 4 to 3.
Yang Rui watched the game with the players and concluded that the reason why the Spurs played dirty is largely due to coach Popovich, and some malicious fouls were deliberately arranged by him.
In Yang Rui's previous life, the Spurs and Suns also played fiercely in the 2007 playoffs.There was a controversial scene in Game 18.2.There were still [-] seconds left. After receiving the ball, Nash started quickly and ran to the right sideline of the court. A tall figure pressed towards the core of the sun, it was "Mr. Key" Horry.Everyone knew Horry had to foul, but who would have thought it would be so outrageous?
When Nash was about to break through from Horry's left side, the veteran didn't say a word. He directly used his elbows and hips to knock Nash out of the field. If it wasn't for a billboard blocking it, it's hard to say how far Nash would fly. .
Horry's flagrant foul became a turning point in the game. Stoudamire and Diaw, who rushed into the field, were suspended for one game, and Horry was suspended for two games.In this way, the Spurs only paid one Horry to let the Suns miss two generals in the battle of Tianwangshan, and took the opportunity to win the game.
Now that Horry is on the Cavaliers, Popovich assigned fringe insider Oberto to do the job, knocking out Jason Terry in the final quarter.
However, the Mavericks did not let the Spurs do.Because the Mavericks are a group of pacifists, Stackhouse is absent, and there is no conflict.The Mavericks got two free throws to seal the crucial Game [-] victory and ultimately win the series.
In the Western Conference finals, the Mavericks were at a disadvantage against the Lakers again, and the Lakers used run-and-gun tactics to kill them in the first two games.
Yao Ming was substituted for 5 minutes in the first quarter and rested. In the second quarter, he played with a substitute. The other four were Ellis, Jones, Kapono, and Odom.
The three pulled apart, Yao Ming and Ellis played pick-and-rolls, and the Mavericks were not good at double-teaming.Ellis is fast and can pass Dampier and Crowhill with the ball.Double-teaming Ellis, who passes to Yao Ming or other teammates, can create shooting opportunities.
The Mavericks, who returned to the home court, relied on Nowitzki, Terry, and Josh Howard to play the trident to regain a game, and then lost two consecutive games, and were eliminated 1-4 like last season.
The second day of the Eastern Conference finals was also decided. The Cavaliers eliminated the Eagles 4-2. James entered the playoffs for the first time, and went all the way to the finals.
The league's publicity has played a very good role. James is packaged as a superstar that is not inferior to Kobe. The ratings of the first game of the finals are far better than last season. Fans are looking forward to the star soaring points.
However, the soaring points did not happen. The Lakers ruthlessly beat the Cavaliers 106 to 76 in the first game.
James played 40 minutes, made 16 of 4 shots, 6 of 2 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and had only 14 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists.He was completely trapped in the Lakers' zone defense, unable to hold the ball to the basket, and his power dropped a lot.
Iguodala, Rasheed, and Odom focused on taking care of James. They kept a distance from the outside to prevent breakthroughs, and they double-teamed in the penalty area, forcing him to pass the ball and rely on rotation on the outside.
Yang Rui knew Mo Williams from the bottom of his heart, and focused on preventing interference at the three points where his shots were most accurate, forcing him to shoot from inaccurate positions.
When Xiao Mo relies on the inside side without the ball to cover his movement, the Lakers are also very active in changing defenses inside. The weakness of "Big Z" Ilgauskas is his slow speed and rarely cuts after screens, giving the Lakers enough time to complete the rotation.
In the second game, Yang Rui reduced Yao Ming's playing time in the first quarter and let him take the bench in the second quarter, easily suppressing the Cavaliers. Even if James didn't rest, he couldn't guard against pick-and-rolls.
The Lakers won 103-86, leading 2-0 on aggregate.
After two games, the Lakers' only controversy came from within. Many people said that Yao Ming was a fake starter. He grabbed Kobe's MVP last season.
Yang Rui explained in an interview: "The Cavaliers generally go to the double towers on the inside, the speed is slow, the offense is mainly shooting from the outside, and Yao Ming is on the bench, and the opponent will be more uncomfortable."
The results of the finals said everything. Yao Ming played 28 minutes per game, with 16 points, 8.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists. The data is not good, but the Lakers have more flowers. The five players averaged double figures and easily swept the Cavaliers 4-0. Winning by 21 points per game.
The Cavaliers have not scored 35.5 points in a game. James' performance is a mess, shooting 20% from the field, 68.9% from three-pointers, and 22.5% from the free throw line. He averaged only 22 points on [-] shots per game...
最后一战，詹姆斯30投10中，三分球7中2，罚球6中2，得到24分6篮板10助攻。
Even so, James received praise from the media, citing his youth.
科比场均32分5篮板4.5助攻2抢断0.5盖帽，45.2%的投篮命中率，38%的三分命中率，顺利拿下了总决赛MVP。
In this finals, Yao Ming's performance cannot be compared with Kobe.Data is not the key, and Yao Ming does not have to compete for the core every season. His goal was achieved last season.
Therefore, Yao Ming was still very happy after the game. He said in an interview: "I just listened to Jerry's arrangement to play. I don't think the data is important. The key is that the Lakers have swept the championship for three consecutive years and established a dynasty. It is easier to control the team that shoots. To win, I'd love to do that."
Chinese fans were not satisfied with this answer. They all hoped that Yao Ming would be the first core of the Lakers. At this time, many Comey came out on the Internet to ridicule Yao Ming for hugging Kobe’s thighs and winning the MVP last season.
There are also people who say that Yang Rui is holding Kobe's thighs. He is average in coaching and only relies on stars.
This kind of person is not necessarily Comey, but more deliberately provocative. The Lakers dynasty was established too easily, and there are more and more people who hope that the Lakers will disintegrate.Without disintegration, the Lakers are likely to complete four consecutive championships next season. It is much more difficult for the Celtics to complete four consecutive championships in modern basketball than for the Celtics to complete eight consecutive championships among eight teams.
Yang Rui won his seventh championship ring, one step closer to "Cardinal" Auerbach.
Kobe Bryant's fourth title in his career was also chasing after Michael Jordan. Many Comeys reached the peak of their careers because of this. They hated all the fans. To prove that Kobe is the best star in the NBA, it will be a matter of time before he surpasses Jordan. His arrogant attitude has been stimulated. outrage.
Compared with Yang Rui's previous life, Comey could only talk about Kobe's 81 points at this time. It was not until Kobe won two consecutive championships in 2010 that he became arrogant.Now that the time is advanced, Kobe also won a regular season MVP and two FMVPs. The Comeys are unstoppable.
Two days later, Los Angeles held another celebration parade. At this time, Yang Rui could no longer feel the fun, and winning the championship became a norm for him.
When giving his speech, Yang Rui made a commitment to continue to win the championship next season as usual.
When the players gave their speeches, Yang Rui focused on the attitudes of several free agents. All of them had something to say. They thanked the fans and teammates, but none of them stated that they would stay in Los Angeles and continue to fight.When the host asked about the topic of staying in the team, they all chose to perfunctory.
Yang Rui can see the signs that these people whose contracts have expired are leaving. Even Luke Walton, a marginal person, will not stay in the Lakers as long as other teams want him.
In the Lakers, Walton really did not have a bright future. There are players who are better than him in every position. He has won three consecutive championships, and the players will have higher pursuits.The Lakers still have two first-round picks this summer. If they sign a potential rookie, Yang Rui will not train Walton.
In addition, Payton, a veteran who has no regrets in winning the championship, will definitely retire. In the summer, the Lakers lineup will be changed.
