Chapter 620 [Second Round Sweep, Faith Collapses]

The Lakers players quickly proved that Yang Rui's evaluation was correct with their actions, and continued to crush the interior in the second game, winning 114-90 and leading the overall score 2-0.

This Lakers outside players feel average, Yang Rui arranges more guards to break through, try to make fouls, everyone in the team has received Divac's guidance, and people with similar statures often hit the street, and the misplaced big man is even more down.

Nene was plagued by fouls and only played 27 minutes, and the Nuggets' outside offense was also affected, unable to pull away from the basket, and their interior was too weak.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Kenyon Martin had a rare fit and played well in the 09 playoffs, with 10.9 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.1 steals. Martin developed a good mid-range shot during his injury, was able to open up space, and was experienced in blocking and pick-and-rolls, so he wouldn't be easily passed by defenders.

Now, the Nuggets' starting No. 4 is Creza, who is strong on offense and weak on defense. Bench Nahura and Reinaldo Balkman are just marginals for the Lakers.

"Birdman" Anderson and Johan Petro, two big blue-collar men, can defend, and the offensive end is the target of being emptied, in order to fight against the Lakers, George Carr has to let Anthony play power forward, which consumes a lot of physical strength.

In Game 3, J.R. Smith pumped and shot 7-of-12 from three-point range and Billups made 6-of-10 from three-point range, but even so, the Nuggets lost, 122-127.

Yao Ming also had a convulsion, shooting 13-of-22, 6-of-11 three-pointers, and 8-of-8 free throws, scoring 40 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists.

Millsap had 25 points, 17 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals, including 9 frontcourt rebounds.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Kenyon Martin was a famous bad contract, when he was healthy, he did a good job on the defensive end, and Kreza would only use strength to resist people on the defensive end, and he couldn't break through and grab rebounds.

In the fourth game, the Nuggets players had lost confidence, and the Lakers won easily 121-92 and swept through the promotion again.

Anthony was in a slump by Iguodala, shooting 6-of-17, 1-of-3 from three-point range and 12-of-15 from the free-throw line to finish with 25 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists.

He was able to get 15 free throws thanks to the home whistle, and many normal physical opponents of the referee blew the Lakers foul, otherwise Anthony would have been bullied by Yao Ming when he rushed to the basket.

Iguodala was equally tough on the offensive end, playing 34 minutes and finishing with 20 points, four rebounds and four assists on 7-of-11 shooting, 2-of-4 three-pointers and 4-of-4 free throws.

He once caught the ball in the air, threw the ball to the rebound during the run, and after getting rid of Kreza with his speed, he threw himself and dunked the ball with both hands, and was elected the best goal of the round.

Before the game, the basketball "experts" who were not optimistic about the Lakers turned into Zhuge Liang to analyze the reasons for the Lakers' victory.

Some experts mentioned that the Lakers' three major swing talents are the key to winning, and at one point Dundee Jones, Iguodala, and Posey defended very well, which could not only prevent breakouts, but also interfere with big man shots.

Iguodala improved his stats to 17.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.5 steals, shooting 48.2% from the field and 39.3% from three-point range, and making 1.8 three-pointers in one game.

Dundee Jones was only a fringe man in the regular season, and without Kobe, he played 17.5 minutes, and his defense was great, shooting 48% from the field, shooting 1 of 4 from three-point range, and averaging 7 points, 2.4 rebounds, 0.6 assists and 0.8 steals per game.

Many fans on the Internet discussed that the Lakers could win the championship without Kobe, and set off a scolding war with Komy.

The Lakers' two-round sweep still can't disturb the confidence of the peak Comi, they firmly believe that the boss is the best, the Lakers play well in the playoffs are all illusions, and they should lose in the next round, and the Mavericks and Spurs are not as weak as the Nuggets.

A fan: "The Lakers won so easily, is it stronger without Kobe?" ”

Comi: "I scored 84 points in a single game. ”

A fan: "Why did Kobe Bryant only finish second in the regular season when the Lakers entered the playoffs and seemed invincible?" ”

Comi: "I scored 84 points in a single game. ”

A fan: "Yao Ming's offensive efficiency is much higher than Kobe's, he can be inside and out, he is the tactical core of the team." ”

Comi: "I scored 84 points in a single game!" 84 points! Divide! ”

The "Bull and Horse War" immediately divided the winners and losers, and the Mavericks defeated the Spurs 4-1 and advanced to the Western Conference finals.

Both teams are slightly stronger than Yang Rui's previous life, with the Mavericks center being Marc Gasol and the Spurs starting power forward being Luis Scola playing both offensive and defensive ends.

The Spurs lost at small forward, Bruce Bowen and Michael Finley are both old, and they failed to poach promising young forwards last summer.

The second round of the Eastern Conference has not yet been decided, and the game is very intense, with the Hawks leading the Cavaliers 3-2 and the Celtics leading the Magic 3-2.

Joe Johnson made a crucial three-point shot in Game 5, and this man was like he was born for the kill, and his key shooting percentage was higher than usual, which was a wonder in the NBA.

The Celtics also have a strange thing, that is, 185CM point guard Rajon Rondo, after Garnett's injury, he took on the task of protecting the rebounding ball, yes, the "real C" Rondo is so brave, grabbing rebounds can get doubles.

On the offensive end, Rondo was also like a big center and was let go on the periphery, no one was in front of him and within two meters of the left and right sides, he didn't shoot, swayed left and right with the air, waiting for his teammates to run to respond, which was really speechless.

The major awards of the regular season have been announced one after another.

Rookie of the Year was Derrick Rose of the Bulls, and Brand was injured and he was given more opportunities to perform.

The best sixth man is Jason Terry of the Mavericks, who averages 19.6 points, 2.4 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game, and has a super offensive power.

Most Improved Pacer Danny Granger, 25.8 points, 5.1 rebounds and 2.7 assists, was selected as an All-Star in the mid-term period.

The best coach is Mike Brown of the Cavaliers, relying on the league's best record.

The best defensive player was Dwight Howard, who won two key defensive stats. After he won the championship as a superman dunk in the slam dunk contest, his popularity has also increased significantly, and many people are optimistic that he will replace Yao Ming in the future and become the league's No. 1 center, as long as he can lead the team to win the championship.

The MVP was acquired by the Cavaliers' LeBron James, the second time in his career, averaging 28.4 points, 7.6 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game. Purely compared to the data, there is really no one in the league who can compare to James, and his efficiency value is 30+ for two consecutive years, which is more amazing than the "big shark" O'Neal back then.

The Lakers were all four empty, and they didn't win any awards, but Kobe Bryant was selected to the All-Star Team and All-Defensive Team.

The other four in the All-Star Team are Nowitzki, James, Howard, and Wade.

Yao Ming was selected for the second team, and the other four were Duncan, Pierce, Anthony, and Paul.

For a while, the number of defenses continued to increase, but Kobe Bryant was like sitting on a needle cushion at home, not eating well, and not sleeping well. Because nominally he was seriously injured, he couldn't go out to find his mistress to vent, so he could only stay at home every day with his wife and children and be an otaku.

The honor of the regular season is a bit ironic for Kobe, even if many fans support him, like him, and believe that he is the best for the Lakers, the reality that he can't play in the playoffs can't be changed.

At this time, Kobe Bryant was a little scared, and he found that he really wasn't indispensable to the Lakers.

He was very worried that if the Lakers beat the Mavericks again to reach the Finals, what would the media say about him?

If the Mavericks had won, fans and media might have said good things about him, regretting that he didn't make the playoffs, but he also lost the chance to win the championship this season.

In any case, Kobe Bryant has been a loser this season and has nothing to gain from it. His teammates hugged and laughed happily as they eliminated the Nuggets, like stabbing him in the heart. When he was there, his teammates hadn't laughed so much in a long time.

The belief that Bryant had been holding on to began to crumble, and once the Lakers won the championship, he knew that his status would definitely go downhill.
