Chapter 624 [Crushing, Indescribable Pain]
The Mavericks' offense can't rely only on two guards, and the "dunk king" Gerald Green hasn't practiced his three-point shot now, and once he falls into a positional battle, he can only watch the excitement on the perimeter, and the defense is still very bad.
In Yang Rui's previous life, Green was unpopular after this season, went abroad to pan for gold, and did not return to the NBA until his mid-to-long-range shooting percentage improved and became a good role player.
After two more minutes of play, Carlisle was forced to call a timeout.
Yu Jia said excitedly: "At the end of the regular season, many people said that the Lakers would not work without Kobe, and Yang Rui's record in consecutive divisional finals this season would be terminated. Now Yao Ming and others have proved with their actions that without Kobe, the Lakers can still impact the championship, and they completely suppressed the powerful Mavericks. ”
Zhang Li is now the number one Yang Mi, and joked: "I think there is no Kobe, Yao Ming is better." He entered the playoffs with 26.7 points, 10.9 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.6 blocks, shooting 50.6% from the field, 36.1% from three-point range, and 90.2% from the free throw line. If he is more accurate with three points, he will enter the 50+40+90 club. ”
Yu Jia sighed: "Even Nowitzki can only explode with Yao Ming, the data of the two are close this year, if Yao Ming plays like this in the regular season, the best team will definitely not have anything to do with Howard." ”
At the end of the timeout, Nowitzki returned to the court early to play a cameo as a center to add a scoring point.
The Mavericks' offense is open, but it still can't prevent the Lakers' offense.
It is not difficult for Yao to pick Nowitzki, and Nowitzki has to break through the guard after the block. Compared to offense, his defense is an ordinary level, and it is equally difficult to break through against small guards.
In Yang Rui's previous life, the inside line of the Mavericks Finals was suddenly turned into a sieve by Wade, Lu Wei and Brooks were not as good as Wade, but Yao Ming's ability to withdraw from the air was much stronger than O'Neal's, and he could always create misplaced opportunities.
At halftime, the Lakers led 66-50.
Yang Rui and the players who came off the field high-fived one by one, everyone had a smile on their faces, chatting and returning to the locker room together.
Yao Ming played 18 minutes and got 18 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists; Lowe also had 17 points and two assists.
At this time, Kobe Bryant, who was watching live TV at home, covered his head with his hands and red eyes, like a beast that had just let go of its prey. If he wasn't bald, he would have tore off a few strands of his hair.
With the Lakers winning all the time, Bryant endured unspeakable pain.
In medicine, pain is divided into 12 grades, and the first level is an unnoticeable pain, such as a mosquito bite; Grade 12 is unbearable pain, such as pain during childbirth; There is also moderate pain in the middle, such as gastroenteritis and stomach pain caused by unclean diet; There are also strong pains, such as being beaten with sticks; Very intense pain, such as neck, shoulder, waist and leg pain, neuralgia.
From a medical point of view, Bryant's current pain is like when he went to the doctor with gastroenteritis, but was beaten with a stick by the doctor until his neck and shoulders were misaligned, and his waist disc was herniated and he gave birth......
Kobe Bryant in this state, and his wife Vanessa didn't dare to talk to him.
Kobe Bryant can't help but think of Carter and Stadameyer, who were known as the pride of the sky when they played under Yang Rui, and many people thought they would rule the league in the future. As soon as Yang Rui left, they were nothing, one was struggling with the Raptors, and the other couldn't get past the first round of the playoffs when he joined the Knicks.
On the Internet, many people predict that Kobe Bryant will be the next star to leave Yang Rui and become an ordinary person.
Don't even wait for next season, after this game, he will become the laughing stock of the league, because the Lakers beat the Mavericks and crushed.
Yao Ming didn't play at the beginning of the second half, and the Lakers continued to expand the score.
The two guards of Lowe and Xiaobu can break through, Odom can shoot and respond to the ball in the middle, and Millsap can cut and rush to grab the rebound in the frontcourt.
Gasol Jr. played 3 minutes before being replaced, and was guarded over and over again, and Carlisle didn't dare to use him anymore. Mavericks Terry and Kidd partner on the outside, and Howard, Nowitzki, and Bass in the frontcourt.
Yang Rui saw that Gasol Jr. was resting, and half a minute later he replaced Yao Ming and Posey, replaced Millsap and Lu Wei, and the focus of the attack shifted to the inside.
Odom played against Bass, gave Yao Ming a drop ball on the right side, and it was easy to complete the task with the height advantage, and then formed a triangle with Xiaobu, and Posey and Iguodala pulled away on the left side and other opportunities.
Nowitzki's top defense didn't work, Carlisle arranged for Bass to go around the front defense, and Nowitzki went to defend against Odom.
Dealing with Yao Ming is a strategy that many teams will adopt in the regular season, the purpose is to make Yao Ming difficult to catch the ball, and then Yang Rui has long known how to break this move.
Odom shifted the ball to the left side for Iguodala, who brought out a little space on the left side and hit the ground to Yao Ming, who ran low to the left to ask for the ball.
Yao Ming is even more relaxed and happy to play Bath, although Bass is very strong and can withstand Yao Ming, he is only 203CM tall. Yao Ming turned to the middle and made a jumper, coupled with a small back, Bass had no choice but to pray that Yao Ming had a problem with his hand.
Yang Rui watched Yao Ming's power on the sidelines, and he was also very excited, Yao Ming's data has reached its peak this season, and he can be inside and out, stronger than Yang Rui in his previous life.
Yao Ming rarely attacked in the regular season, mainly blocked and dismantled jump shots in the middle, played about 30 minutes, saved his physical strength, and laid a good foundation for the outbreak of the playoffs.
Mavericks coach Carlisle contradicted that he had just replaced Gasol Jr., and if he immediately switched back to the court to defend Yao Ming, whether he could prevent it or not, there would definitely be media who said that his last substitution was a tactical mistake. And Carlisle understands Yang Rui's employment characteristics, as long as Gasol Jr. plays, the Lakers should be the main defender to attack, and slam Gasol Jr.
In the end, he simply responded to all changes with the same, just like the Warriors and Nuggets coaches who were swept in the first two rounds.
The Lakers led by 27 points in the third quarter, and the game went into garbage time.
In the last quarter, Yang Rui sent all the substitutes, Brooks, Dundle Jones, James Jones, Landry, and White were still offensive lineups, and the Mavericks were sour on the bench.
The Mavericks sent a bench and were obviously not opponents, Barria was guarded by Xiaobu, and Green was targeted by Dundee Jones and couldn't get rid of it once.
Even in garbage time, the two Jones tried their best, and they both wanted to fight for a big contract in the summer.
In the final game, the Lakers defeated the Mavericks 131-94, and all seven members of the team scored double-doubles. Yao Ming was the best in the game, scoring 30 points, 12 rebounds and 3 assists, and didn't play a minute in the final quarter.
After the game, Yang Rui commented on the game: "The most important thing to win is not the individual, but the tactical cooperation, not that their star is famous and wins." It's normal for the Lakers to win, we're the best team. ”
The reporter asked, "What do you think is the key to the Lakers' victory?" ”
"It's about winning together, and the players will play exactly what I want."
A black female reporter asked, "Are you saying that Kobe's absence is good for the team?" ”
Yang Rui shook his head and said seriously: "I have to talk about you, this reporter, didn't you deliberately provoke trouble?" Kobe Bryant is uncomfortable at home not being able to play, how exciting are you saying this kind of thing? Since he can't fight, I won't make an evaluation and wait until he can. ”
The reporters took pictures together, and the female reporter lowered her head, embarrassed to look directly at Yang Rui's righteous eyes and resolute face.
He made so much sense that I was speechless.
Yang Rui continued: "We are the most united team, everyone knows what they should be doing on the court, they have a never-say-die fighting spirit, they will try their best to do a good job in every defense, actively compete for every rebound. Under these conditions, coupled with excellent offense, this year's championship must be the Lakers. ”
