Chapter 265 [Cowardly move, the Lakers are going to end]
5 minutes later, Yang Rui made adjustments, Hornacek replaced Tracy McGrady, Cato replaced Miller who fouled five times, Boykins, Christie, and Jumaine continued to play.
由于球队大比分领先, 卡特不会再出场了，他只打了30分钟，17投10中，三分球9中4，罚球6中6，得到30分7篮板4助攻2抢断。
The first time he played in the finals, he didn't feel nervous, just a little unfulfilled, he still had strength.
On the Lakers side, Phil Jackson replaced the tired O'Neal and played small ball tactics, Fisher, Kobe, Rice, Fox, Hawley.
On the surface, it looks like it has entered garbage time, but in fact Jackson still has a little illusion, so let the people who are good at shooting go together.
However, the Raptors are not weak off the bench. Christie defended seriously. After the pick-and-roll, Zhu Mayin switched defenses very quickly and entangled Kobe with all his strength.He is 203cm tall and weighs 100kg. He is a small forward and plays as a power forward.
In his rookie season, Zhu Mei failed to get too much playing time in the regular season. Now he is on the big stage of the finals. He has a strong desire to perform and wants to prove himself and contribute to the team.
The Lakers couldn't catch up with the score, there was no need for O'Neal to play again, and Kobe was replaced 2 minutes earlier, entering garbage time.
Throughout the game, the Raptors dealt with O'Neal in single defense and fouled when they couldn't stand it. This led to O'Neal's terrifying data. He scored 18 of 12 shots, 36 of 17 penalties, and scored 41 points, 17 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks.
科比全场18投6中，三分球4中0，罚球2中2，得到14分3篮板5助攻。
People who didn't watch the game saw the data, and [-]% would think that Kobe was too useless, and was really guarded by Christie.In fact, Kobe was the person who was taken care of by the Raptors and suffered several double-teams.
Glen Rice is really bad. Against Carter's single defense, he made 8 of 1 shots, missed 4 of 2-pointers, 1 of 3 free throws, and scored 3 points, 1 rebounds and [-] assist.
The Raptors beat the Lakers 112-90 to get a good start to the finals.
Mike Breen laughed: "Although Jerry Young slashed sharks madly, allowing O'Neal to get a record-breaking free throw, which caused the game to be intermittent, but his strategy did reduce O'Neal's efficiency, and the Raptors won without trying their best. Contest."
Frazier smiled and said, "Wouldn't it be possible for O'Neal to get so many free throws in every game? The Raptors have two heavy insiders, and playing them on the court can make a difference."
Brin analyzed: "Probably Yang Rui thinks Kevin Cato and Jerome James are bad offense. If they can shoot, they will definitely be reused."
In the past, the star was the protagonist in press conferences. This time, everyone felt that the coach was the protagonist. Proper tactics were the reason why the Raptors easily defeated the Lakers. Yang Rui’s several adjustments were effective, and he didn’t suffer as a substitute.
"Jerry, how do you feel now?"
Jerry smiled and said, "I'm very happy. We are one step closer to the championship trophy. Before the start of the season, few people believed that the Raptors could win the championship. Now, there should be few people who believe that the Raptors can't win the championship, right?"
The reporter asked: "Will you continue to use the shark slashing tactics in the end?"
"Why not?"
The reporter said: "O'Neal thinks it is a cowardly move for the Raptors to win like this, and it is shameless. What do you think?"
Yang Rui thought for a while, then replied with a smile: "I think O'Neal's 147kg weight is a cowardly move against a lightweight insider. He actually used his own advantages, which is shameless. Can he lose 30kg before playing ball? Of course it doesn’t matter, I can give O’Neal some preferential treatment next, as long as he shoots outside the penalty area, I promise not to arrange defense, let him be as easy as free throws, he shoots at will, we only grab rebounds.”
Some reporters laughed directly.Many people ridicule O'Neal for not being able to shoot, but they are not as straightforward as Yang Rui.
The reporter asked: "Do you have the confidence to win the next game?"
"Of course we will win. If Vince, Jermaine and others didn't only play 30 minutes, would the Lakers lose so little?"
In the second game, Yang Rui didn't cut the shark at the start, let Cato start to defend O'Neal, and the other positions remained unchanged.
Christie was on standby at the bottom corner, Carter attacked with the ball in the middle and Cato played pick-and-roll, looking for dislocation opportunities.Billups moved actively, caught the ball and shot, and O'Neal Jr. screened from the side and opened up to look for opportunities on the periphery.
The Lakers were very embarrassed on the defensive end in the first quarter. O'Neal went out without guarding. Carter found a pick-and-roll to get rid of Kobe and made a direct mid-to-long-range jumper.Even Kobe, blocked by Cato for half a second, couldn't block Carter's dry pull.
If O'Neal switched defenses, Carter would hold the ball to lure him out and pass the ball to Cato, who was cutting in the middle.
Cato also has an advantage. Bryant can't be defended in a low post attack. The weight difference between the two is like O'Neal playing Miller, and Kobe is half a head shorter. This is not something that defensive skills or experience can make up for.
The Lakers' offense was not bad, and the two sides tied at 27 in the first quarter.
When the second quarter came off the bench, the Lakers couldn't stand it.
The five Raptors Hornacek, Christie, McGrady, O'Neal Jr., and Miller can all make three-pointers, and the formation is completely opened.Miller is organized in the middle, the players move on both sides, and only Christie's position is fixed.
Mike Breen saw the doorway: "The Raptors are playing Princeton off the bench. The ball runs so well. In contrast, the Lakers are O'Neal and Kobe playing singles, and the role players don't run much. This is not good."
At present, the players on the field, except for O'Neal Jr., have a good sense of passing, and they have a tacit understanding when they are willing to share the ball.
In this section, Hornacek was in a state of bravery and became the protagonist. He hit three three-pointers and scored 11 points and 2 assists.
In the second half, under the cover of the inside players, Billups began to show his power again. He made three three-pointers in a single quarter. O'Neal also received passes from his teammates and scored many low-position strong shots.Regardless of Green or Hawley, O'Neal's one-on-one defense suffered physically.
The Raptors are still one-on-one defense inside, and they don't foul much.The guard locked up the Lakers' long shots, cutting off the connection between the guard and O'Neal.
O'Neal consumed a lot of physical strength when playing the Blazers, and he threw so many balls on the court. His physical fitness was not in the best state.Playing too many free throws, he is afraid of the penalty, and the attack is not as firm as the play.
On the defensive end, O'Neal consumes a lot, switching to Carter, Hornacek, and switching to Billups, and he can't stay near the penalty area to guard the basket.
At the end, the same situation as in the game appeared.O'Neal's efficiency dropped, others couldn't stand up to score consecutively, and the Raptors widened the score in waves.
120 to 87, the Raptors won by 33 points.
比卢普斯12投7中，三分球8中5，罚球4中4，得到23分4篮板6助攻2抢断，打爆了老将哈勃。
卡特18投12中，三分球6中4，罚球7中7，得到35分6篮板5助攻，再次打爆了格伦-莱斯。
Six people in the Raptors team scored in double figures, and even if they entered garbage time, they pressed the Lakers to play.
奥尼尔砍下35分11篮板3助攻，6罚1中。
Kobe Bryant made 20 of 7 shots and 1 of 0-pointers. He continued to be in the doldrums. He failed to get a free throw and scored 14 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists.
Christie's defense was very successful. He followed closely on the outside. Kobe Bryant rushed in and his teammates would help to double-team and let Green and Fox shoot.
莱斯8投3中，三分球2中1，罚球7中4，得了11分2助攻，没有篮板。湖人只有这三人得分上双。
After the two wars, everyone felt that the Lakers were over.
