Chapter 529 [Turning Waste into Gold and Advancing to the Finals]

The common specialty of the media is to see the wind and steer the rudder, and the people who are optimistic about the Spurs after the first three games have all changed their words, and no one said "ginger is still old and spicy", and it has been changed to "young has no limits, challenges everything", "veterans never die, but gradually wither" These clichés.

Yang Rui watched the news and despised these reporters quite a bit.

The veteran's meme is so cliché that it's quoted to the extent that "your math was taught by your gym teacher."

Is it funny to be so cheesy? These laypeople can't change a little and add their own thoughts. For example, "Your driving skills are taught by your physical health teacher." "Look, how fresh and refined, and without a hint of irony.

The popularity of the "drug combination" has increased even further, and many media outlets have said that they are better than the "OK combination".

If you just play well in the regular season and have good star data, a combination like "Yao Mai" won't get too high a rating, you can't win the championship, everything is empty. Now that the "drug combination" is getting closer and closer to the championship, the biggest honor always belongs to the star, and the internal and external duo can't run.

As for how strong the Lakers' role players are, others don't have Yang Rui's vision and don't know. Even now, most people still feel that the Spurs roster is better than the Lakers, and the role players are more famous.

Because, some media used "turning waste into gold" to describe Yang Rui, listing the progress of Mo Williams, Jones, Yao Ming, Dior and others.

The online discussion was more intense, Yang Rui fans were in the doldrums for a few days, and after the Lakers got the match point, they all stepped up.

"What about the people who said the Spurs could beat the Lakers? Come out and debate, lose so much, see how the Spurs still win. ”

"Jerry Young's 4-time best coach, 4 championship rings, really not blown out, people who have never missed the division finals, are they so easy to hit in the face?"

"Not long after I first started watching the NBA, I heard that there was a person who was a god on the sidelines, and I was shocked when I checked the information on the Internet, if it wasn't for the Raptors player injury in 2001, it might have established a dynasty. 2002 Raptors, 2003 Wizards...... Jerry Young took a year off in between, otherwise if the Lakers win the championship this year, he would personally be three consecutive championships. ”

"In 2005, the Lakers' first-round draft picks were traded, as a bargaining chip to change Yao's name, and now it is too wise, Jerry Young knew from the beginning that this signing pick could not be high, because he led the team, the Lakers used two marginal people, a 30 draft picks in exchange for the future league's first center, and the Knicks will be the biggest laughing stock in the league in the next 10 years."

"The rookies must be very sorry that the Lakers only have a 2-round pick, and I don't know if they will be selected. I think rookies should want to play for the Lakers. ”

On the Internet, the support rate of the Lakers has been as high as 90%, and the Spurs' strength can be compared with the Lakers, and the popularity is far behind.

On June 3, the sixth game was played in San Antonio.

In key games, the Spurs home fans did not uniformly wear uniforms, and their spirits were generally not very high, and they failed to give the biggest boos to the visiting players when the players played.

There was bad news before the game, Malone had a recurrence of an old knee injury, and he was likely to miss this game, even if he entered the squad, it would be difficult to play, and he was not in good shape.

Without Malone, the Spurs' No. 4 position has deteriorated, and Duncan has no good substitutes.

Spurs fans don't uniformly wear clothes, which is a helpless move. Because the Spurs' home jersey is white as the main color, and black as the color scheme. If fans wear jerseys or send out commemorative T-shirts in matching colors, it will make people feel like they have entered a funeral, which is too unlucky and tickets will not be sold.

Popovich made a change, and Ginobili returned to the starting lineup to strengthen the attack.

The Spurs have no way out, they will be eliminated if they lose, and even if they win, even if the players are physically disadvantaged, they can at least grab seven and retain the hope of qualifying. Popovich decided to increase the playing time of his star and give it his all.

As soon as the demon knife came out, the Lakers' man-to-man tactics immediately became bad, and Hojberg couldn't prevent Ginobili.

Fortunately, Yang Rui will adjust in time, and in one and a half minutes there was a dead ball, Hojberg was replaced, and Iguodala came on.

The two starting teams are tied at 24.

Yao Ming shot another three-pointer, scored an empty cut, and scored 5 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist, and his performance was average.

Bryant only scored 7 points and was not in good shape, shooting just 2 of 7, a three-pointer and 2 of 2 free throws.

The top scorer was Damon Jones, who hit two three-pointers and forced a layup with Parker on his body, scoring 8 points in a single quarter, no rebounds, and no assists. His unexpected outburst left the Spurs starters out of the way.

In the second quarter, Tinsley and Parker were two guards with substitutes, and sometimes the Spurs relied on two guards to beat the opponent in waves, and both were very fast, but this time it didn't work.

The Lakers also returned to the bench very quickly, Hojberg was abandoned, Yang Rui let Ariza and Iguodala play more, although the three-point point was poor, but the joint defense was very powerful.

The four blocked the restricted area, leaving only one Ariza on the perimeter to defend Barry, and the Spurs' three-point shooting was completely dumb.

The Spurs' outside lineup is stronger than Yang Rui's previous life, but the inside line has not changed much, and it is a little worse in breaking the joint defense.

In Yang Rui's previous life, veteran Robert Horry played a big role in the Spurs and was able to withdraw three-point shots.

Yang Rui caused the butterfly effect, Horry renewed his contract with the Lakers, and later the Lakers sent him to the Cavaliers, so the Spurs had one less big man who could withdraw. To change that, the Spurs can only trade Matt Bonner, the "Wolf of Wall Street," in the future.

Nesterovich's main defense of Dio became a leak and was passed several times.

Kenny Smith lamented: "Nesterovic is really disappointing, if it weren't for the mid-term exchange for Muhammad, the Spurs would not be able to compete with the Lakers." ”

Barkley laughed: "Before the series started, Popovich said that Nesterovic could defend Yao Ming, and it was obviously a failure. ”

Yang Rui made all preparations, in his previous life, Nesterovich was indeed a good move by Popovich to deal with Yao Ming, and he had been against Yao Ming many times, and he was injured.

Now as long as Nesterovic plays, Yang Rui will let Yao Ming go outside the three-point line to cover, help the guard get rid of the big man, and wait for the opportunity on the periphery to catch the ball and shoot.

The Lakers led by six points heading into the second half.

In the third quarter, the Lakers defended together, Yao Ming guarded the restricted area, the other four strictly guarded against outside shots, and the Spurs players played crazy iron on the outside.

Kobe Bryant couldn't shoot well today, and Williams made a big move, hitting a three-pointer. By the end of the third quarter, he had scored 21 points on 6-of-12 shooting, 5-of-9 three-pointers and 4-of-4 free throws.

As a point guard, Mo Jr. only has 1 assist, but he can score, and it is enough to help the team, and the Lakers lead by 20 points.

In order to catch up with the score in the last quarter, the Spurs players increased their outside shots, and then Yang Rui let Yao Ming rest, Dio and Odom partnered, and the speed of switching defenses was very fast, Duncan began to score, but he was so far behind, if he wanted to play two points to catch up, he had to score 10 goals in a row, and Duncan did not have this kind of dominance on the offensive end.

The game went into garbage time two minutes early, and all three of them played for more than 40 minutes, all of them cut 20+, but the efficiency was not high.

Ginobili made 2 of 8 three-point shots, Parker made 1 of 3, Bowen made 2 of 6 shots, Barry made 1 of 5 shots, and Tinsley made 2 of 5 three-point plays, but they didn't help.

The Spurs shot 8-of-28 from beyond the three-point line, shooting only 28.6 percent from the field, and the overall shooting rate was 46.2 percent, scoring just 96 points.

The Lakers were 8-of-17 from beyond the three-point line and shot less, the same number of goals scored as the Spurs.

115-96, the Lakers won one more game and entered the finals 4-2.
