Chapter 626 [Inside Showdown, Season 1 of the Gods]
The Comi continue to defend Kobe, and in order to prove that the Lakers are not stronger without Kobe, they can only find evidence that the Mavericks are too weak. Nowitzki was unfortunately drowned in Comi's saliva and once again became a soft egg, a pseudo-star, and a non-defensive scrap.
Experts have also mentioned in hindsight that Nowitzki and Gasol Jr. are not suitable for the pairing.
In fact, they have no problem attacking, and the weak flank defense is the key to losing. With this experience, I don't know if there will be people in the future who will say that Gasol Jr. is excellent defensively and regards him as a super defensive player.
On May 30, the Eastern Conference Finals decided the winners. The Magic upset the Cavaliers with a 4-2 overall score.
Many people can't understand how magic beats the knights.
When Garnett was injured and the season was reimbursed, the Celtics without the Hulk still played well with the Magic, and the Green Army once won the battle of Tianwang Mountain and won the match point, and the sixth game relied on Howard's big double-double to score a difficult equalizer.
On the other hand, the Cavaliers, who have the best coach, the best players, and the strongest home court, have stumbled in the playoffs, and they have no advantage against the Hawks.
Although the score is 4-2, anyone who has watched the game knows that the Magic won the game in this series very easily, and the losses were all small scores, the second game was won by James's whistle kill, and the fifth, the Magic, who had a 3-1 lead, did not fight much at the Cavaliers' home court.
The Magic, led by Lionel Hollins, are strategically minded, solid defensively, and rely primarily on three-point shooting on offense.
The Magic shot 62-of-152 from three-point range, 40.8 percent from three-point range, and the Cavaliers shot 42-of-130 from the field, 32.3 percent from the field. Outside players shoot, and centers Howard and Gortat are tasked with defending and grabbing rebounds, both of whom have a rebounding rate of more than 20%.
In this series, not many people questioned the whistle of the Cavaliers, and the referees did not favor them.
David Stern has always been very calm and knows the truth of "too much", the last round of the series has been controversial, and if he blows the whistle again, not only will he not be able to praise James, but it will also backfire.
Because of the gambling referee Donahy case, everyone has become very sensitive to the topic of black whistles this season, and letting the Cavaliers pass the second round has saved James' face.
The Cavaliers' style of play is destined for them to not be able to do it in the playoffs, winning 66 wins in the regular season, relying on physical confrontation, iron-blooded defense, knocking opponents around, and not being whistled for fouls.
In the playoffs, the confrontation of all teams has intensified, and the advantage is not so obvious when it comes to fighting against the Cavaliers, who win the game.
And the Cavaliers have weaknesses inside, only Ilgoskas can pull away the shot, the defense is too poor, the movement speed is slow, and the big Z is big, and the Cavaliers can't score on the two interior blue-collar lines.
Ben Wallace, in particular, made his free throws as bad as ever, and his shooting percentage was more than ten percentage points lower than Howard's. On the defensive end, Big Ben was also questioned again because Howard was toppling the Cavaliers inside. Howard, who has no range, has blown up a lot of money in terms of blue-collar play.
The worst person is actually Rudy Gay, but except for Yang Rui, no one has found this. He was raised by McBrown to be a pure blue-collar player, averaging 20 minutes per game in the playoffs with just 8.6 points and 3.5 rebounds.
The league met during the offseason, and Stern said that he wanted the finals to be played on the premise of absolute fairness, and he did not plan to promote "23vs24" next season.
The Lakers still entered the finals without Kobe, and their strength is obviously stronger than when Yao Ming was absent last year, how will they win Kobe Bryant in the future?
And James, unless the Cavaliers make a big trade in the summer and change to a big-name star, it's no play. But that's also a team championship, how to prove that James is better than Pierce of the Green Army's Big Three?
At the meeting, everyone discovered a terrifying fact, although the league officials guide public opinion and can decide which player to support, but the person who decides who is the strongest star is Yang Rui.
Since Yang Rui became the head coach, which team he coached, this team is the strongest, and the most popular star in the league is also from this team, without exception. Once he leaves, the stars are gone.
Can you let him coach James?
The idea flashed through Stern's mind before it was dismissed. In other words, he is a young rich man, with a girl, rich and powerful, and will run to Cleveland's place?
On June 4, the Finals will begin, with 232 schedules, and the Lakers have home-court advantage.
After the Magic qualified, the saying that "those who win the inside line win the world" was mentioned by fans again, and Yao Ming VS Howard became the biggest attraction of the finals.
ESPN formed another expert group to predict the game, and this time, 13 people were unanimously optimistic about the Lakers winning the championship, 8 people were optimistic about the Lakers sweeping, and 4 people were optimistic about 5 games to win and lose.
Only one person thinks the Magic can win two games, and the Lakers will lift the cup at home. The reason is that the Magic are balanced offensively and defensively, and Rashad Lewis is back in shape, and the Magic are stronger than they were in the regular season.
On the Internet, most fans are optimistic about the Lakers winning the championship, leaving only Magic fans and Metamorphosis to support the Magic.
Some people's arguments are speechless, and they actually say that the reason why they are optimistic about the magic is that Howard is stronger than Yao Ming, these people probably don't usually pay attention to the situation between the two sides, Howard has never taken advantage of Yao Ming since he entered the league.
Another highlight of the final was the clash between Jerry's coaches. Yang Rui VS Hollins.
Although Hollins only worked under Yang Rui for one year, he was still counted as Jerry, because he was just a defensive coach before the cooperation, and he was unremarkable, and the Lakers exploded like a light in a year, becoming an excellent coach and leading the Magic all the way up.
In China, some fans feel that it is a bit insufficient to describe Yang Rui as the "Pope of Basketball", he is simply a god walking in the world, the reason is not a basketball game, but Scarlett Johansson, fans think that this big fat man became beautiful because he met Yang Rui.
When the American entertainment media reported Scarlett's news, they also said that love made her beautiful. The most surprising thing is that not many people are disgusted with the relationship between Scarlett and Yang Rui.
Yang Rui and Stana are not married on the one hand, on the other hand, people feel that Yang Rui and Scarlett are definitely true love. Except for Yang Rui, there will be no male star or rich man who will never give up on a fat man for 10 years. Yang Rui's only drawback is that he is a little fraternal.
The finals were broadcast live on several national television stations, and before the start of the game, the ratings were already better than the first one of last season.
The Lakers have played to this point without Kobe Bryant, which has become the biggest gimmick.
If Kobe Bryant is here, everyone will only feel normal when the Lakers win the championship, like during the three-in-a-row championship period, talk about the strength of the "drug combination" after dinner, hoping that they will break up as soon as possible, and they will not be too lazy to watch the game.
Now, the Lakers have gathered almost all the fans of the outside stars, they are all paying attention to the Lakers' game, just waiting for the Lakers to win, and then go to the Internet to satirize those worthless peak Commies who have been arrogant for several years and scolded their idols, speak with facts, and feed these Comys.
The situation is not as good as people, most of the peak Komi have already clamped their tails and become people, and they don't know what to use to prove that Kobe Bryant is invincible.
The rest of the rational Komi, who likes the Lakers, said: "Even if there is no Kobe, I support the Lakers to win the championship and support Jerry Young to make history again." It has always been said that Jerry is the luckiest coach and this will be his season of god. ”
There is a hard time to get a ticket in Los Angeles, and many fans believe that if Yang Rui can lead the Lakers without Kobe to win the championship, the gold content is incomparable. After winning the championship, he will become the best coach in NBA history, even Auerbach, can only be ranked second.
