Compared with 2000, the core of the Raptors is much calmer and more restrained. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When the players played, Carter and O'Neal Jr. no longer danced and posed for a show to brush up their presence. This time, they were like arrogant swordsmen, quietly waiting for the decisive battle to begin.

Once the sword is unsheathed, it will see blood, not unsheathed, it is not unsheathed, it is not the time to come.

"Big Shark" O'Neal also didn't have the hippie smile of the past, he warmed up with a blank face, practiced a few turns and throws, and everyone else was practicing shooting.

CCTV5 broadcast the game live, Zhang Li said: "The two sides are facing each other in the finals for the second time in three years, and they each won a championship. Whoever wins this Finals will be the best team in the 21st century. ”

Xu Jicheng said: "After the end of this season, I don't know if the Raptors can continue to be strong, Miller, O'Neal Jr., Carter, and Halprin are four important players who are free men, and the two interior stars are still completely free men." Whichever Trident is missing, it will affect the strength of the Raptors. ”

"The Lakers will definitely keep the original roster next season, and then they will also face pressure to renew O'Neal. ”

The starters from both sides came out.

Raptors five: Billups, Carter, Kirilenko, O'Neal Jr., Jerome James.

Yang Rui put Miller on the bench in order to strengthen the defense, and if he starts, O'Neal will definitely be abused. Miller basically has only one way to defend against O'Neal, and it doesn't work if it's light, and the foul is heavy...... Yang Rui didn'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 terms of strength, which is what the Raptors signed him for.

Kirilenko started to deal with Kobe, and Reed was better offensive, but could be blown up.

Lakers five: Fisher, Kobe, Fox, Horry, O'Neal.

The Lakers, like the Raptors, were injury-free, and Horry started as a deliberate adjustment made by Jackson, who he used to beat the Raptors in the regular season. And in the last series, Horry was in very good shape.

O'Neal won the ball against O'Neill Jr., and the game began.

The Lakers pulled away with four players, O'Neal was in the low post on the right side, and Kobe Bryant and Fisher formed a triangle.

Only when Horry starts, the Lakers can open up space inside, plus two pitchers pull away, creating a good opportunity for Kobe Bryant to break through and take advantage of the opponent with a combination of inside and outside. Now that Kobe's tactical status has improved, the "Zen Master" knows very well that if Kobe Bryant can't open and no one breaks through with the ball, it is impossible for the Lakers to beat the Raptors.

Fisher passes the ball to Kobe Bryant and plays against Kirilenko, a good heads-up opportunity that no one disturbs. Kobe's goal this time is not only to win the championship, but also to compete with O'Neal for the MVP of the Finals.

The regular season MVP was won by O'Neal, and he didn't want to continue to fall short in the finals.

The regular season record is very important to enter the playoffs, but compared to the playoffs, the regular season is more like a training ground, where everyone plays 82 games to see who performs well can go to the real game, and the best player in the process is awarded the MVP.

The playoffs are not only about technique, but also about psychology and many factors, and relying on the ability of one person can help the team turn the tide and lift the trophy at the last moment, which is completely different from the feeling of winning a game in the regular season.

Kobe Bryant believes that the regular season MVP is a winning general, and the Finals MVP is awarded to heroes, and in his mind, the Finals MVP has a higher gold content.

The opponent was just a rookie, and Kobe Bryant felt it was a good opportunity.

What is Kirilenko? How could it be possible to guard against him?

From joining the alliance in 96 to the present, he has not only experienced a hundred battles, but more than 500 battles.

Kobe Bryant took the ball and shook it for a while, and suddenly accelerated to start breaking through to the middle, his first step was very fast, and few people could keep up, but Kirilenko was one of these few people, he liked others to play with his body the most, moving sideways one step, and his long arms easily covered Kobe.

The two teams only played two games in the regular season, and the time of the match was in December, and Kirilenko was still running in when he first joined the team, and his form was unstable and he did not play much time. Bryant didn't know enough about him, and only inferred the level through the video. He was a little surprised to be easily followed, but he didn't panic at all, his back to protect the ball leaned on Kirilenko, his left shoulder shook slightly, and he quickly turned to the right side and threw a jumper.

Kobe Bryant can imitate all of Jordan's offensive moves, which is the secret of his strength, and he has been tempered to make the real real. In this way, he can not only shoot against defenders, but also get a lot of applause because of his picturesque posture.

This season, Kobe Bryant weighed 102 kilograms, gained muscle, increased impact, and knocked over Jordan in the regular season, all of which gave him a boost of confidence.

Unfortunately, Kobe Bryant underestimated the enemy. Not to mention Kobe, Maddie didn't dare to shoot casually in front of Kirilenko, and he had to make sure that he had to shake out the space. Kirilenko jumped up and down Bryant's shot.

Kobe Bryant was shocked, and turned around to pick up the ball as fast as Kirilenko, who was facing basketball, and the ball was snatched away. Kirilenko single-handedly fast-breaking, scoring with a two-handed dunk. 2 to 0.

Xu Jicheng shouted: "Kirilenko jumped really high, his arms are too long, Yang Rui asked him to play the starter, just to fancy his defense, once he enters the league, his defensive ability is above the average level of the league." ”

Zhang Li said with a smile: "Looking at Kobe's eyes, I guess I'm a little angry, I don't know if there will be another one." ”

Kobe Bryant reached out for the ball as soon as he passed the half, and Kirilenko lowered his center of gravity, his face was expressionless, waiting for him to attack.

Kobe Bryant's first step to start but couldn't pass, he pulled the ball up in one step inside the left three-point line, and raised the ball to make a shooting feint. Kirilenko shook and jumped lightly past Kobe.

Kobe Bryant made a strong pull-up jumper, but before he could jump to the highest point, something unexpected happened, and Kirilenko jumped after him and covered the ball from behind.

Carter, who was about to make up for Kobe's defense, picked up the basketball and immediately passed the ball forward, Kirilenko went on a fast break again, no one defended, and scored with a one-handed tomahawk! 4 to 0.

Zhang Li shouted: "Another deduction, Kirilenko opened the game with Kobe, is this to compete for MVP?" ”

Kobe Bryant was very faceless and wanted to play another single, but Phil Jackson didn't allow it, shouting at the player on the sidelines: "Pass the ball to Shackle!" ”

In his opinion, it is stupid to single out Kirilenko without cover, and it is not simple to know this person just by looking at his figure.

Yang Rui smiled on the sidelines, Kobe Bryant is still too young, and rookie Kirilenko can give him some restrictions.

If it is the peak Kobe, Kirilenko will definitely not be good, he will be elbowed to doubt life, how can it be so easy to jump closely? The current Kobe Bryant is not good at using his elbows to create space, and he does not have a body hair whistle treatment.

Fisher ran to the bottom corner, and Bryant reluctantly hoisted the ball to O'Neal after taking the ball, knowing that the ball would not come back.

Indeed, Kirilenko did not retract the bag, giving the low post plenty of room to play singles.

The "Big Shark" squeezed into the penalty area with the ball, and Jerome did a very good job of defending with all his might, not letting Ao Fat go to the basket. O'Neal spun and threw to the baseline, Jerome jumped up to interfere, and the ball deflected.

O'Neal Jr. grabbed the backcourt rebound on the left side and held it in his arms, waiting for Billups to answer, and the Raptors defense was very successful in the opening!
