The first battle of the Western Finals, broadcast live from many countries.

Lakers starters: Louis Williams, Iguodala, Posey, Odom, Yao Ming.

Millsap came off the bench, the Lakers and Mavericks played 4 games in the regular season, Millsap was always blown up against Nowitzki, and there was only one game where Nowitzki scored less than 30 points, and that game was Odom's main defense, and Yao Ming assisted near the restricted area.

This year, Nowitzki has begun to focus on the "Golden Rooster Independence" jump shot, turning and leaning back a lot, Millsap, who suffers from height, can't block, and Odom can't block either, relying on his height and arm span to interfere.

Mavericks starters: Kidd, Antoine White, Josh Howard, Nowitzki, Gasol Jr.

The two sides earned the ball, Yao Ming relied on a bounce of about 50CM to explode Gasol Jr., and the Lakers attacked first.

Little Gasol just cocked his toes, and when it came to his bounce power, maybe he shouldn't use the word "bounce", because even Jinmailang instant noodles are more bounced than him......

He is too fat, 216CM tall, weighs nearly 130 kilograms, and is the third among active NBA players, second only to Eddie Curry, the "little shark" who can't play and can't be sold, and the "big shark" O'Neal, who almost killed coach Riley because of fat problems.

Xiao Jia is still white, without the explosive power of blacks, and was nicknamed "Big Tortilla" in high school.

Posey passed to Lowe, and Yao Ming pulled him outside the three-point line to block him, helping him get rid of the slower Kidd.

Lu Wei took a step sideways to the left, a three-point jump shot, Gasol Jr. couldn't change the defense, and could only reach out to interfere slightly, Lu Wei shot a little stronger, popped out of the frame, and Nowitzki retreated to grab the rebound.

The Mavericks offense, the Lakers mix defense.

Gasol Jr. and Yao Ming have a style of play, pulling out the middle to block and dismantle Kidd, and now almost all centers in the league who have shooting ability will play like this, cutting in the air after covering, catching and shooting, or relying on the height advantage to respond to the high position.

Lu Wei specializes in dealing with Kidd, chasing after him when he encounters a block, and he doesn't have to think about changing the inside line, and he can't prevent it if he changes. Yao Ming and Gasol Jr. keep a two-step distance and can block Kidd's breakthrough route, and can also prevent the inside line from cutting in time.

The 36-year-old Kidd, it is difficult to average points per game, unless there is a particularly good opportunity, he will not choose to jump shot, and his breakthrough ability has greatly regressed, and he was caught up by the guard after a little hesitation.

Kidd splits the ball to the middle, Gasol Jr. is even more uncomfortable, Yao Ming can interfere with the shot, he cuts to the low post to play no advantage, and responds in the high post, and the opponent's height can also block the vision in front of him.

Gasol Jr. couldn't get the ball to the baseline, so he had to wait for his teammate on the side to pick it up and pass it to Josh Howard, who singled out Iguodala and couldn't break through before passing to Nowitzki.

Nowitzki leaned his back against Odom twice, turned to the baseline and threw a jumper, deflected off the basket under interference, and Yao Ming stepped back to grab the rebound.

Odom is the Lakers' best defender against Nowitzki, who can neither be overtaken nor interfere with. This season, Odom hasn't met Khloe Kardashian yet, and he's a great second-rate star.

Yao Mingyi passed to Iguodala, who rushed forward with the ball, and under Howard's defense, the run was distributed to Lu Wei in the middle.

Lu Wei took the ball and dribbled to change direction, without any feints, and passed Kidd by speed on the left side, just at the beginning, Kidd did not pull people to foul, and Lu Wei scored on the basketball. 2 to 0.

Zhang Li exclaimed: "It's so beautiful! Luwei is so fast! How dare you do it yourself! Kidd is afraid of this speed-type guard. ”

Yu Jia said: "In this year's playoffs, the two guards of Lu Wei and Xiaobu exploded, completely squeezing Gibson to the bench, and as soon as Yao Ming pulled out, they always had a way to break through." ”

The Mavericks attacked, and Gasol Jr. could only transfer quickly when he received the ball, and then waited for opportunities in the middle.

Yao Ming restricted Xiaojia according to Yang Rui's arrangement, and did not help deal with Nowitzki, in order to make the Mavericks' scoring points more concentrated. Nowitzki's offense with the ball is not terrible, as long as he doesn't drive his teammates, he will shoot two points to score 40 points in a game, and the shooting rate may not reach 50%, and his dominance is not as good as O'Neal's back then.

Of course, Yang Rui will not let Nowitzki easily go heads-up, he goes to the right side, and Iguodala on the baseline lets go of Howard and wraps up with Odom.

Nowitzki gave the ball to Howard in the bottom corner, and a weakness of the Mavericks was revealed, that is, the three-point ability of the swingman, Howard's empty jumper missed the basket, and the rebound was grabbed by Yao Ming.

Howard is one of the Mavericks' trident, playing an average of 32 minutes per game in the regular season, scoring 18 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.1 steals, shooting 45.1% from the field, 34.5% from three-point range, and 78.2% from the free throw line.

He averaged 3.2 shots per game in the regular season and made 1.1 three-pointers, barely qualifying. In the playoffs, he shot 25 percent from three-point range, averaging just 0.8 of 3.2 shots per game. The team needed him to shoot threes, but he couldn't do it.

White, another swingman, wasn't much better, shooting 30.2 percent from the field and making 0.7 of his 2.3 shots in the regular season. The playoffs were slightly better, hitting 0.8 of 2.1 shots and 38.1 percent from the field, making too few shots.

After four seasons of running-in, the Lakers players are not just standing on the defensive end, they will help each other by rotating positions and helping each other, especially Iguodala and Posey have done a very good job.

The Mavericks returned to the defense in place, the Lakers fell into position, Posey pulled away 70 degrees on the left side, Iguodala was in the bottom corner on the right, Odom went to 70 degrees on the right side, and Lu Wei and Yao Ming in the middle played again to block and dismantle.

One tactic worked, and the Lakers fought endlessly, and Yao Ming helped Lu Wei get rid of Kidd.

The Mavericks were eliminated by the Lakers for several seasons in a row and will never use joint defense against them again, Nowitzki goes to defend Odom, Gasol Jr. must follow out when he encounters a pick-and-roll, and Lowe becomes his nightmare.

Lowe changed direction on the left side, passed Gasol Jr. with speed, and scored quickly in the basketball. 4 to 0.

The Mavericks attacked, Gasol Jr. cut in the air after blocking and dismantling, and Yao Ming's top defense was in place.

Kidd passed the ball to Gasol Jr., who leaned on Yao Ming with his back in the middle, turned and threw it out under the interference, Yao Ming immediately turned around and stuck in position, and won the backcourt rebound by his height.

The Lakers attacked, Yao Ming stood outside the three-point line after blocking and dismantling, and Lowe brought it to 45 degrees to attract Gasol Jr. to switch defenses and Kidd to chase the defense, and passed the ball to the middle.

Yao Ming received the ball in the empty position, made a light jump shot, was well prepared, had a perfect rhythm, and the ball went into the net hollow. 7 to 0.

The boos of the Mavericks' home fans can't affect Yao Ming's feel, and after four years of practice, he is getting more and more sure of his position.

The Mavericks attacked, Gasol Jr. also received a pass from Kidd after blocking and dismantling, a high-post jumper, missed under Yao Ming's interference, Odom protected the rebound and passed to the guard nearby, Yao Ming broke fast.

Lu Wei passed the ball to Iguodala, who took it to the three-point line and hoisted it to Yao Ming, who asked for the ball 50 degrees on the right. Yao Ming held the ball and went heads-up, leaned on Gasol Jr. with his back, turned to the bottom line and hooked his hand, dodged the block, and hit the board. 9 to 0.

Zhang Li shouted: "Yao Ming is too strong, another one, it's so easy for him to clean up the rookie little Gasol!" ”

Yang Rui also stood on the sidelines, applauding Yao Ming with the substitutes.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Yao Ming suffered too much compared to other centers, and the direct dialogue data exploded, and he was blown into scum as soon as he compared his honor.

In his previous life, Gasol Jr. had a lot of honors, won the Olympic runner-up in the world, won the European Championships, reached the Western Conference Finals in the Grizzlies, won the Best Defensive Player Award, and was selected for the best team.

But watching the game, Gasol Jr. is clearly a weakened version of Yao Ming, including defense, he is extremely slow, can't jump, can only be a meat shield near the penalty area, the average score per game is sad 15, and the average rebounds per game are only 8 all year round. One-on-one, he was beaten like a son by Yao Ming.
