Chapter 436 [The strongest team in history!Champion Spurs! 】

In the Eastern Conference matchup, the Heat eliminated the Nets 4-1.

O'Neal's advantage in the low post is very obvious. The small sharks can't beat the big sharks. The Nets won once at home as a whole. The weakness of the lack of super scorers still cannot be solved.

This playoffs, Kidd's performance was poor, averaging only 12.6 points, 6.6 rebounds and 9 assists, shooting 33.3%, 20% three-point shooting.That's bad news for the Nets, who just signed Kidd to a long-term, high-paying contract.

The Bulls eliminated the Pistons 4-2, and "Jerry's coach" came into the limelight again. Thibodeau suppressed Van Gundy tactically.

Artest's defense, Stackhouse, shot only 35.4 percent from the field for the entire series and became an undercover agent.This summer, the Pistons' top priority is to trade Stackhouse, whose scoring rate is simply too low.

Milicic's first trip to the playoffs was very tender and was completely blown away by Brand.

Houston is an excellent off-ball player, and McGrady is already the top scorer in the league.Once the defense of McGrady needs to be double-teamed, the Pistons' defensive system will be disrupted.

The two finalists finally decided the outcome. The Grizzlies won the tie-break away and eliminated the Suns 4-3 to reach the Western Conference finals.

Baron Davis became the Grizzlies' number one hero, scoring 32 points, 4 rebounds and 10 assists in the tiebreaker, which completely exploded the Suns outside.

The Suns and D'Antoni have performed well, they just lost too weak at the 1.If the Suns want to improve their strength, they must bring in a good point guard.

Embarrassingly, the sun is different from Yang Rui's previous life.

The premise of Nash's joining is that Stoudamire and Joe Johnson are both rookie contracts. After the Suns replaced Marbury and Hardaway for McDyess, they cleaned up the salary space. Only then can Nash be introduced and in the future. Renewed contracts with Barbosa, Dior, Stoudemire and others.

Now, the Suns have three high-paid players, Marion, Hill, and O'Neal Jr., whose salaries have already exceeded their caps.So, if Nash leaves the Mavericks, which team will not necessarily go.

Yang Rui also does not intend to let the Lakers spend a high salary to introduce a point guard, let alone Nash.He's a great point guard, an MVP-caliber player, provided he has the ball and is on a fast-paced team.

If Nash teamed up with Kobe and Yao Ming, he would definitely not be an MVP, he would be a spot-up shooter.With Kobe, the Lakers can't be Nash holding the ball. With Yao Ming, it's not easy to focus on fast breaks.

Entering the division finals, the fight was not so intense.

McGrady had back spasms again, affecting his competitive state.Bulls center Przebila couldn't resist O'Neal, and the Bulls' inside line was tragically blown up.

The Heat did not suffer in other positions, and swept the Bulls 4-0.

The Western Spurs beat the Grizzlies more easily, advancing 4-1.

The rhythm of the Grizzlies and the Suns are mutually exclusive, and it will not work against the Spurs. The Spurs are like an enhanced version of the Grizzlies.

Duncan suppressed Gasol one-on-one, and the defense used the zone defense to limit the Grizzlies' high pick-and-roll.The swingman configuration of the two sides is similar, and the advantage of the Spurs is Manu Ginobili. The series of "Argentine Demon Sword" broke out, and neither Shane nor Posey could prevent him.

The Grizzlies won the game, relying on backup Bunch Wells to break out, scoring a double-double of 33 points and 10 rebounds, and his impact gave Bowen a headache.

Yang Rui deliberately stayed for four games. When the finals were announced, he was very interested in this series because it was a matchup that he had never experienced in his previous life.

O'Neal is still at his peak this year. The Spurs have assembled a "GDP combination". Both teams also have experienced veterans, and the lineup is the strongest in team history.No matter which team won the championship, Payton and Malone won the championship for the first time in their careers, fulfilling their dreams.

The Spurs have home field advantage. In the first game, they seized the weakness of the Heat. Duncan attracted the defense. Parker, Manu Ginobili, and Malone attacked. They broke through the Heat's defense with pick-and-roll cooperation and won 104-92.

In the second round, Stan Van Gundy adjusted his tactics and focused on zone defense, limiting the Spurs' high pick-and-roll and perimeter breakthroughs.The Spurs missed shots from outside and lost 91 to 98 at home, with a total score of 1 to 1.

回到主场的热火士气大振，奥尼尔砍下34分15篮板3助攻2盖帽，带领球队2比1取得领先。

At this time, the media began to be generally optimistic about the Heat winning the championship, and more and more people touted O'Neal. Everyone admitted that O'Neal was the first center in the league, and the team was reborn as soon as he joined.

Regardless of Duncan, Malone, or Nesterovic, the Spurs can't guard against the "big sharks" one-on-one, double-teaming O'Neal, and the Heat outside Jones, Butler, Wade and others can also throw the ball.

However, the Heat were only happy for one day, losing two home games in a row and trailing 3-2.

The Spurs also changed their tactics. Manu Ginobili, Turkoglu, and Bowen made a lot of three-pointers from the outside.Popovich reduced the playing time of Parker and Malone, let backup point guard Tinsley play more, and let Turkoglu guest role as power forward.

Tinsley played only 22 minutes per game this season, scoring 7 points and 4.7 assists.

This is more appropriate to deal with Payton and Wade.The height of the two is not the orthodox No. 1 position, especially if Wade plays the No. 1 position, he can bully Parker with his body when he counterattacks.

Tinsley, who is 191cm tall and weighs 88kg, is better at confrontation and defense.

The Heat's No. 1 weakness is also obvious. He is not good at shooting three-pointers and is not good at breaking the zone defense.

Wade was extremely eye-catching in the playoffs, playing 36 minutes, averaging 16.3 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists, is the team's second scorer after O'Neal.But even in the later stages of his career, Wade failed to practice his three-pointers, hitting 2% in his peak season and averaging 31.7 shots per game.

Payton shot 33.3 percent from 0.7-point range this season, making 25 of the shots, and only made 0.6 percent of the playoffs, making [-].

In the sixth game, the Heat went to the Spurs' home court to fight to the death, hanging on to O'Neal to fight more, trying to use the fat man's dominance to break the zone defense.

Popovich used the "sharp shark tactics", Nesterovic, Malone, Kevin Willis, Malik Rose took turns sending O'Neal to free throws, and others ensured the defense of the perimeter.

O'Neal was too addicted to free throws, making 28 of 12 shots, killing the Heat.The Spurs are also mainly attacking from the position. Several inside players can pull out to shoot, creating breakthrough space for the defender, and the attack efficiency is higher.

The score was behind in the final quarter, and there was not much time. The Heat could only bet on three-pointers. Popovich replaced Malone and replaced Turkoglu to play small ball tactics at the 4th position. Wen Brown guarantees outside rotations to prevent the Heat from making long shots.

The final 104 to 94, the Spurs beat the Heat 4 to 2, won the NBA championship.

Yang Rui explained the game. There were a total of 11 games in the playoffs, and the extra game was free and voluntary.

He commented: "I think Duncan is the best power forward in NBA history. All he lacks is honor. In terms of technology, I can hardly fault him. As long as he does not fall into the hands of Larry Brown in the future, to 40 Years old should be able to play beautiful stats."

Barkley laughed: "How can you forget about hurting Larry Brown, what do you think of Popovich?"

"He is a master tactician and one of the best coaches in the league. Of course, he's worse than me." Yang Rui couldn't forget to boast.
