Chapter 318 [Ferocious AK47, disaster is greater than underestimating the enemy]
Compared with 2000, the core of the Raptors is much calmer and more restrained.
When the players came out, Carter and O'Neal no longer used dancing and POSS to show their presence.This time, they were like arrogant swordsmen, quietly waiting for the decisive battle to begin.
Once the sword is unsheathed, it must see blood, it is not unsheathed, but the time has not yet come.
"Big Shark" O'Neal also didn't have the hippie smile of the past. He warmed up expressionlessly, practiced a few turnaround shots, and everyone else was practicing shooting.
The CCTV5 live broadcast of the game, Zhang Lili said: "The two sides played against each other in the finals for the second time in three years, and each won a championship. Whoever wins this finals will be the best team since the 21st century."
Xu Jicheng said: "After the end of this season, the Raptors don't know if they can continue to be stronger. The four important players of Miller, O'Neal, Carter, and Halprin are free agents, two inside stars or completely free agents. Which one is missing will affect the strength of the Raptors."
Zhang Lili said: "The Lakers will definitely keep the original lineup next season, and then they will also face pressure to renew O'Neal."
The starters of both teams came out.
Five Raptors: Billups, Carter, Kirilenko, O'Neal Jr., Jerome James.
Yang Rui let Miller sit on the bench to strengthen the defense. If he starts, O'Neal will definitely be abused in single defense.Miller wants to defend O'Neal basically only by fouling. It doesn't work if it's light, and the foul is heavy... Yang Rui doesn't want to see Miller being chased by O'Neal.
Jerome is one of the few centers in the league who can stand up to O'Neal in strength, and that's what the Raptors signed him for.
Kirilenko started to deal with Kobe Bryant, and Reed was better offense, but he might be overwhelmed.
Five Lakers: Fisher, Kobe, Fox, Horry, O'Neal.
The Lakers, like the Raptors, have no injuries. Horry's starting is a deliberate adjustment made by Jackson. In the regular season, he defeated the Raptors on Christmas Day in this way.And in the last round of the series, Horry was in very good shape.
O'Neal won the ball over O'Neal Jr. and the game began.
The four Lakers pulled apart, O'Neal was in the low post on the right, Kobe, and Fisher formed a triangle.
Only when Horry starts, the Lakers can open up the space inside, plus the two pitchers open up, creating a good opportunity for Kobe to break through and one-on-one, and combine the inside and outside to deal with the opponent.Now that Kobe's tactical status has improved, the "Zen Master" is very clear that if Kobe can't open and no one can break through with the ball, the Lakers can't beat the Raptors.
Fisher passed the ball to Kobe, facing Kirilenko, a good one-on-one chance without anyone bothering.Kobe Bryant's goal this time is not just to win the championship, but also to compete with O'Neal for the Finals MVP.
The regular season MVP was won by O'Neal, and he did not want to continue to lose in the finals.
The regular season record is very important for entering the playoffs, but compared to the playoffs where the white knife enters the red knife, the regular season is more like a training ground. Everyone plays 82 games first and sees who performs. Well, it's time to go to the real game, where the best player in the process wins the MVP.
In the playoffs, it is not only technical, but also psychological and various factors. It is possible to rely on one person's ability to help the team turn the tide and lift the trophy at the last minute, which is completely different from winning the game in the regular season.
Kobe believes that the regular season MVP is a winning general, and the finals MVP is awarded to heroes. In his mind, the finals MVP is more valuable.
The opponent was just a rookie, and Kobe felt that this was a good opportunity.
What is Kirilenko?How could it be possible to prevent him?
From entering the league in 96 to now, he has not only experienced hundreds of battles, but more than [-] battles.
Kobe faltered with the ball, suddenly accelerated and started to break through to the middle. His first step was very fast, and few people could keep up. However, Kirilenko was one of the few people. He likes others to rely on the body Hit, move a step laterally, and the long arm easily covered Kobe.
The two teams only played two games in the regular season. The matchup was in December. Kirilenko had just joined the team and was still in the process of running in. His state was unstable and he didn’t play much time.Kobe didn't know enough about him, he just inferred the level from the video.Being easily followed, he was a little surprised, but he didn't panic at all. He leaned on Kirilenko with his back to protect the ball, shook his left shoulder lightly, and quickly turned to the right to make a fallback jumper.
Kobe can imitate all of Jordan's offensive moves, which is his powerful secret.In this way, he can not only shoot the ball against the defender, but also get a full house of applause, because the posture is picturesque.
This season, Kobe's weight has reached 102 kilograms. All the gains are muscles, the impact force has been improved, and the regular season breakthrough has overturned Jordan. All these have greatly increased his confidence.
Unfortunately, Kobe underestimated the enemy.Not to mention Kobe, McGrady didn't dare to shoot in front of Kirilenko, he had to make sure he got out of the space.Kirilenko followed and took off, directly pressing down Kobe's shot.
Kobe was startled, turned around to pick up the ball as fast as Kirilenko, who was facing basketball, and the ball was snatched away.Kirilenko made a single fast break and dunked the basketball with both hands. 2 to 0.
Xu Jicheng exclaimed, "Kirilenko jumps really high, and his arms are too long. Yang Rui asked him to start because he was interested in his defense. Once he entered the league, his defensive ability was above the league average."
Zhang Lili said with a smile: "Looking at Kobe's eyes, I think I'm a little angry, I don't know if I will return one."
Kobe reached out for the ball as soon as halftime passed, and Kirilenko lowered his center of gravity, expressionless, waiting for him to attack.
Kobe Bryant's first start still failed to pass. He pulled the ball up from the left three-point line and raised the ball to make a fake shot.Kirilenko stuttered and confiscated, and gently jumped past Kobe.
Kobe made a strong pull-up jumper, but before he jumped to the highest point, an unexpected thing happened. Kirilenko followed him and took off and covered the ball from behind.
Facing Kobe, who was preparing to defend, Carter picked up the basketball and immediately passed the ball forward. Kirilenko made a fast break again, no defense, and scored a dunk with one-handed tomahawk! 4 to 0.
Zhang Lili exclaimed: "One more deduction, Kirilenko started the game with Kobe Bryant, is this a fight for MVP?"
Kobe was very shameless and wanted to play one more single. Phil Jackson didn't allow it. He shouted to the players on the sidelines: "Pass the ball to Shaker!"
In his opinion, it would be foolish to single out Kirilenko without looking for cover. Just by looking at his body, he knew that he was not easy.
Yang Rui smiled on the sidelines. Now Kobe is still too young, and rookie Kirilenko can give him some restrictions.
If it is the peak Kobe, Kirilenko will definitely not be able to do it. He will be elbowed into doubt about life. How can it be so easy to take off?The current Kobe is not good at using his elbows to create space, nor does he have body hair whistle treatment.
Fisher ran to the bottom corner, and Kobe reluctantly dropped the ball to Shaquille O'Neal. He knew the ball wouldn't come back.
Indeed, Kirilenko did not retract the double team, giving the low post plenty of room for singles.
The "big shark" squeezed the ball into the penalty area. Jerome did a very good job of defending with all his strength, and did not let Ao Fatty get to the basket.O'Neal turned to the baseline and threw a shot, Jerome jumped to interfere and the ball missed.
Little O'Neal grabbed the backcourt rebound on the left and held it in his arms, waiting for Billups to respond, the Raptors defense was very successful in the opening!
