After only one game, Rick Carlisle did not have the confidence to lead the Mavericks to advance, there was a clear gap in the strength of the two teams, and the flaws in the Mavericks' swingman position were fatal, and the offense and defense were not as good as the Lakers. In the last round, the Spurs' swingman was even worse, and the Mavericks' weaknesses didn't show up.

Carlisle admired Yang Rui, hated Yang Rui, and envied Yang Rui.

He admires Yang Rui's ability to always find the weaknesses of his opponents; The opponent who hates Yang Rui is his own team; What I envy is the players under Yang Rui, without Kobe, there is such a strong attack power, it is incredible.

The next day, the winner was decided in the second round of the East, and the Cavaliers defeated the Hawks 4-3 to advance.

The Cavaliers' home win relied on defense, and the Hawks players of Vallejo, Ben Wallace, and Ilgoskas could not enter the penalty area. Hawks interior core Bosh had 4 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists, and his performance was terrible.

The Magic beat the Celtics by 17 points in a tiebreaker, Lewis scored 29 points and Howard also recorded a big double-double. The Celtics players were generally out of energy and gave up the game in the third quarter.

In the second game of the Western Finals, the Lakers took the lead again at the beginning.

After the block, Louis Williams drew the defense of Gasol Jr. inside and pulled away the single. Gasol Jr. broke through when he defended, and opened up for a jumper if he didn't come out. Kidd chased the defense, Yao Ming didn't cut to the basket, and he had a shooting opportunity when he received the ball in the middle.

The premise of Kobe's increase in singles in the regular season is that Yao Ming gives up low-post space, and the proportion of mid- and long-distance shots is higher than in the past. Yao made 134 three-pointers this season and shot 37.2 percent from the field, which is nothing short of big man Ryan Anderson.

It is definitely not okay to let Yao Ming shoot in the vacant position, and he is very resolute. The Mavericks' players rotate to defend Yao Ming, and he will take advantage of the situation to share the ball, and Millsap and Odom can make shots, or attract the defense to share the ball to teammates.

Even if Gasol Jr. goes to defend Iguodala in the bottom corner, it is misplaced, and Iguodala can break through with the ball.

Gasol Jr. can only play a defensive role in the system, and the Grizzlies partner with defenders like Tony Allen and Mike Conley, who are good at chasing defense, without having to stay away from the restricted area. Now Gasol Jr. has to defend himself when he encounters a pick-and-roll, and he can't keep up with the speed of the guard.

On the other hand, Yao Ming, Iguodala, Posey, Lu Wei, Deng Tai Jones and others rotate very quickly on the perimeter, and he can stay near the penalty area to defend all the time, turning the inside line into a no-fly zone.

In the bench competition, the Lakers have a greater advantage inside, and the two second-rate stars play each other's blue-collar workers. At halftime, the Lakers led by 25 points.

In the second half, the Lakers players' shooting touch declined, and the Mavericks relied on Nowitzki and Terry to explode and recover a little score, but the hole dug in the first half was too big, and it could not be reversed in the end.

The Lakers won 114-103 and won on the road to take a 2-0 lead.

Back at home, the Lakers broke out again, Yao Ming shot 13 of 20, 4 of 9 three-pointers, 5 of 5 free throws, and scored 35 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks.

Backup power forward Landry was even more impressive, shooting 9-of-12 from the field and 3-of-3 from the free-throw line, finishing with 21 points and six rebounds in 19 minutes.

The Lakers beat the Mavericks 128-94 to make it 3-0.

In the fourth game, Yao Ming felt cold, shooting 5 of 15, 0 of 4 three-pointers, and 7 of 8 free throws, scoring 17 points, 13 rebounds and 3 assists.

Maverick Nowitzki broke out, scoring 40 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists to blow up Odom.

But the Lakers still won, 107-101 to the end, swept the Mavericks 4-0, and took the lead in advancing to the Finals.

The Lakers won on defense and rebounding, had more opportunities than the Mavericks, and hit the basket if they couldn't shoot from the outside. The Mavericks can only rely on mid- and long-range shots, with 75 shots in the game, and the slow pace makes people speechless.

At the press conference, Yang Rui commented on the game and explained the reasons why the Lakers are strong. "The Lakers' invincibility depends on two points, one is the mobility of the outside, and the other is the rebounding ability of the inside, which complement each other. The outside wheel is changed and the chasing speed is fast, so Yao Ming can guard the penalty area without facing the defender. The inside is great at grabbing rebounds, and the outside players are even more resolute when they shoot. ”

Yang Rui did not criticize the Mavericks players, but everyone felt that Kidd was really old this year and couldn't do it anymore.

He has an obvious speed disadvantage in playing point guard, and his body is not like a point guard, mainly relying on three-point shots to help the team, even if Lu Wei and Xiaobu are much thinner than him, he can't rely on strength to eat.

The Lakers' two small guards ran directly without covering, and Kidd was uncomfortable, so he could only follow as hard as he could, and it was difficult to interfere with the shot.

The Mavericks also have weaknesses inside, after Dampier left, the person with the highest rebounding efficiency in the team is Nowitzki, Gasol Jr. has empty height and weight, pure floor flow, lack of explosiveness, once the guard leaves the restricted area, he can't protect the backcourt rebound, and the ability to grab the frontcourt rebound is also very poor, and if he can't grab it, he will be counterattacked by the opponent, and he can't defend.

It's a tragedy that point guard Kidd has the third-most rebounds for the Mavericks in the regular season and in the playoffs.

Bench interior Ryan Hollins and Brandon Buss rebounded poorly, Buss was not tall and played only 4 rebounds in 19.2 minutes in the playoffs, and Hollins played 10 minutes and 2.6 rebounds.

THE WORST STATS ARE ANTOINE WHITE, WHO IS 201CM TALL AND WEIGHS 95 KILOGRAMS, AVERAGING 16.7 MINUTES PER GAME AND 6 POINTS AND 1.3 REBOUNDS IN PLAYOFF GAMES.

The Lakers are all rebounding masters on the inside, and their rebounding data in the regular season and playoffs for two consecutive years has been the first in the league. In the past two seasons, several of the Lakers' interior players have unconsciously practiced grabbing rebounds in the frontcourt, which is the root of their strength.

Millsap has never dropped two rebounds per game since entering the league, averaging a career-high 3.3 per game this season and even more aggressively in the playoffs, averaging eight rebounds per game, four of which are frontcourt rebounds.

Odom averaged 29 minutes per game in the regular season, with 11.3 points, 8.2 rebounds and 2.6 assists, including 2.3 frontcourt rebounds, and 2.5 per game in the playoffs.

Yao Ming averaged 2.2 frontcourt rebounds per game in the playoffs, which was the worst performance among the three interior lines.

The next day, while the media praised the Lakers again, there were more people who looked down on Kobe, and ESPN even directly called Kobe Bryant a cancer and listed the data.

Despite averaging close to 30 points per game, the RPM value shows that Bryant is constantly hurting the Lakers on the offensive end. According to the official website, Bryant's unreasonable mid-range jumpers in the regular season exceeded the entire team of 12 NBA teams combined, and he shot below average in those shots. These inefficient offenses have allowed the Lakers to average just 101.9 points per 100 possessions.

Due to the amount of energy consumed on the offensive end, Kobe Bryant's DRPM ranking in the regular season was only in the middle of the range. However, he was named to the All-Defensive Team.

ESPN's problem of telling the truth can't be changed, and it's inevitable that Comi will spray it with saliva.

But on the Internet, the number of Kobe Bryant has surged, surpassing Komi, which makes Kobe very faceless. No way, other than that he's a cancer, it's hard to explain how the Lakers' star roster lost so many games in the regular season.

Experts are grassy, the characteristics of both sides are really speechless, in April, everyone still thinks that the Lakers are not good, and now everyone is optimistic about them sweeping to win the championship, no matter which team in the East breaks through.

"The Lakers have few weaknesses in the lineup, and their rebounding advantage makes them a standout."

"Two low-pick small guards shone under Jerry Young and became the main attackers."

"Millsapp will be a big fish in the free market in the summer, and he will be another inside star trained by Jerry Young in the future."

"Yao Ming will score three points, no one can stop him, it's too rogue."

In the Eastern Conference Finals, the Magic led 2-1, and the fourth game will only be played tomorrow, and the Lakers can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
