Chapter 628 [The Only Core, Too Big a Gap]

Magic attacked, Turkoglu faced Iguodala in the middle, tried two changes of direction but failed to pass, so he had to protect the basketball with his back to his teammates.

This year's playoffs Turk Grew was particularly miserable, and he has been beaten since the first round, almost unable to score against the Bulls by Artest, blown up by Pierce against the Celtics, and blown up by James against the Cavaliers.

He shot only 40.2% from the field, 36.4% from three-point range, 15.2 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4.8 assists, which seems to be very comprehensive, but in fact, he averages 39 minutes per game, which is too inefficient.

Moreover, Turkegrew is a tactical benefit, if the Magic is not to play the interior strategy, let him be an organizational forward, it is difficult for him to average points per game when he changes teams, so he can't play in the Kings and Spurs when he was young, and he can only come off the bench.

The Magic players passed a few times, unable to break through in various positions, and the Lakers were not even bad at Daniel Gibson defensively.

After Gibson joined the Lakers, the team's heads-up training targets were speed guards, and he was accustomed to the breakthrough rhythm of Lowe, Xiaobu, and Ellis, and then against a fat man of Nelson's speed, it was very easy to defend.

Finally, the ball was passed to Howard.

Over the course of the season, Howard has been exposed to the news that Howard is unhappy with the ball, believing that he has the ability to take on more responsibility, and that averaging only 12 shots per game is too little.

Howard did show some talent on the offensive end, shooting 57.2 percent from the field and averaging 20.6 points per game, but he made a miserable free throw shot of only 59.4 percent.

Yao Ming is not an ordinary insider, Howard's footsteps have no merit in his opinion, just fast, there are traces to follow, as long as you judge the direction in which he turns, you can prevent it.

Howard chose to turn to the bottom line this time, and was stuck in advance by Yao Ming. Howard had already picked up the ball, plunged into Yao Ming's arms, shook it for a while, wanted to get up, was slapped down by Yao Ming, leaned over and picked up the basketball, and added a steal.

Gibson answered, dribbling slowly across the half, and the players pulled away.

Gibson passed to Posey on the left, and he ran to the bottom corner of the left to form a triangle, and Posey was experienced, and the lateral movement brought out a little space, hitting the ground and passing to Yao Ming.

Yao Ming is very comfortable with the ball, Howard doesn't like to go around the front, likes one-on-one defense, and is too confident in his defensive ability, but if Yao Ming is allowed to successfully receive the ball and play a low single, few people in the league can defend it.

Yao Ming leaned his back twice, turned to the middle, and leaned on Howard to hook his hand sideways. His height advantage is here, and the difference of 15CM on the field is the difference between a center and a defender, and Yao Ming's hook arc is still high, and the hollow enters the net. 4 to 0.

In both rounds, one could see how hard it was for Warcraft to beat Yao Ming, and Hollins frowned on the sidelines. Howard is the number one star for the Magic, and if this position is blown up, they can't win.

The Magic attacked, teammates stopped looking for Howard, Lewis singled out Posey, jumped after a three-threat in the face frame, missed the interference, and Yao Ming took the rebound in the backcourt.

The Lakers attacked, Yao Ming went to the left low post to receive the ball, dribbled with his back, turned to the middle and threw a backward jumper to avoid the block, and the ball hollowed into the net. 6 to 0.

Zhang Reasonable said: "Howard's close-fitting card position keeps Yao Ming away from the basket, but if he sticks too close, he has no starting distance, so he can only block the hard jump without running, and slow down half a beat, Yao Ming's trick is similar to Nowitzki's Golden Rooster Independence." ”

Yu Jia said with a smile: "Some people on the Internet say that Yao Ming's daily life is to eat, sleep, and fight Warcraft, and it is impossible for Howard to win him, and in this finals, Yao Ming will win the MVP." ”

Turkoglou couldn't get past Iguodala in the middle and passed it to Nelson, and Howard adjusted his play and pulled it out to cover. Nelson got rid of Gibson and made a pull-up jump shot that popped off the frame.

Howard cut quickly and rushed to grab a frontcourt rebound, but Yao Ming also retreated to the basket and defended closely.

Howard was a little far away from the basket, and he couldn't pull it up and dunk it, he bent his knees sideways, took the ball and shook it twice, Yao Ming didn't shake it, just raised his hand and stood.

If the opponent doesn't jump, Yao Ming won't jump, and if the opponent jumps, he is a cut above the person, and he may be blocked if he jumps late. He dealt with O'Neill in this way, covering O'Neill many times. Howard's offense was far worse than O'Neal's, and he couldn't squeeze Yao Ming's weight, so he could only rely on explosiveness.

Howard's offensive skills are too one-dimensional, and there are traces to follow. If you play an ordinary insider, you can't play someone who is heavier and taller than him. Not only Yao Ming, but many people can defend against his attacks. Seeing that he couldn't shake it, Howard didn't want to give away the hat, and passed the ball out again.

After passing back and forth a few times, Turkoglu relied on his height advantage to turn around and make a jumper, facing Iguodala and not going in, and the rebound was picked up by Posey.

Yao Ming has some defense that the stats can't show, he jammed Howard with his body, so that he couldn't jump, and when the ball fell, teammates could easily take the board. Magic starters have no one who is good at grabbing rebounds other than Howard.

The Lakers players pulled away, it was still the old tactic, Yao Ming took the ball in the low post on the left side, and Howard pushed him out of the restricted area with all his might, concentrating on observing his every move, and preparing to give him a big hat as well.

Yao Ming took two steps to the middle and turned far away from the basket, and passed the ball from Howard's side to the baseline with a hook motion, which looked as if it was crooked.

Iguodala relied on his speed to get rid of Turkeglu, took a step to catch the ball, jumped up, Tomahawk smashed the ball in, and Howard turned to make up for it. 8 to 0.

The atmosphere at the Lakers' home court was completely uplifted, and the fans set off a wave of people. What they love to watch the most is the star soaring score, and the focus of media publicity is the battle for the first center, and Yao Ming has the upper hand at the beginning.

The Magic attacked, teammates no longer passed the ball to Howard in the low post, and there was no time to pass back and forth, and they were all stared at.

When Howard has no advantage on the inside, it is difficult for the Magic offense to open, and they rely on the defensive system to break through in the East, scoring not high, and rarely breaking a hundred. Lewis has a good ability to withdraw from the No. 4 position, but his tall and thin body is not suitable for pick-and-roll tactics.

Running out of 24 seconds, Petrus forced James Jones, a layup that was deflected wide under the interference, and Iguodala grabbed the rebound.

The Magic's offense is far from the Mavericks and Nuggets, and everyone has a hunch that the Lakers are going to win the championship this season.

Yang Rui arranged the simplest tactic on the offensive end, the pitcher just pulled away, so that the Magic could not wrap Yao Ming, and then his teammates watched Yao play outside the three-point line, ready to catch and shoot at any time.

Yao Ming uses his actions to explain why his life is "eating, sleeping, and fighting monsters".

Since 2004, Yao Ming has beaten Howard once and again.

The two played against each other 9 times in the regular season, Yao Ming averaged 15.4 shots per game, scored 23.6 points, 10.4 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 2.1 blocks, and shot 56.1% from the field; Howard averaged 12.2 points, 9.8 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.7 blocks on 9.1 shots per game, shooting just 45.1% from the field.

With about the same amount of playing time, Howard was almost unable to shoot. If it weren't for Howard's poor free throw shooting and frequent shark-slashing tactics, he might not have averaged 10 points per game.

In this finals, of course, Yang Rui will not only arrange Yao Ming to shoot an average of 15 times per game, but let him shoot when he has the opportunity, and his teammates try to create opportunities for him to pass the ball, he is the only core of the Lakers' offensive end.

In the first quarter, Yao Ming played 6 of 10 shots, 1 of 1 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 15 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block.

Howard also played the full quarter, shooting 0-of-2 from the field and 1-of-2 from the free-throw line to finish with one point and four rebounds.

The gap between the two is too big!
