In the NBA, it is not difficult to get 50+ in a single game, and many people have done it. But to put this stage in the finals, the difficulty is increased dozens of times, and to this day, there have only been three single-game 50+ performances in the history of the finals.

Most recently, on June 16, 1993, Michael Jordan played 46 minutes in the Finals against the Suns, shooting 21-of-37 from the field and 13-of-18 from the free-throw line to finish with 55 points, eight rebounds and four assists. It is worth mentioning that Jordan only made 1 three-point shot in this game, and he missed it, and his 55 points were also the highest single-game score in the history of the NBA Finals.

However, the 55-point Finals single-game scoring record is not held by Jordan alone, he only equals the 1967 Rick Barry record. Barry scored 22 goals in Game 3 of the Finals against the Philadelphia 76ers, and interestingly, the master who was good at using the "urinal" position made free throws, only 11 of 19 in that game, and if he was a little more accurate, I am afraid he could have set a record of 60 points in a single game in the Finals.

Another 50+ performance in a single game in the Finals came from Lakers legend Jerry West. In his first game against the Celtics in the 1969 Finals, West went on a rampage, scoring 53 points on his own.

Now, Yao Ming is the fourth person in history, and the only interior player to score this kind of data in the finals.

Barkley analyzed: "Yao Ming can play this kind of data, offensive skills can be inside and outside is only one reason, another important reason is that the opponent is Magic, Magic players believe too much in Howard's single defense ability, they have not used a joint defense system to defend the restricted area like other teams throughout the season, Yao Ming has got too many single opportunities." ”

Kenny Smith sighed: "Against Yao Ming, it is really difficult to limit the single defense, he made a jumper in the middle in the last quarter, and the Magic bag can't be blocked, he is too tall." ”

Yang Rui trained Yao Ming into an inside wonder. In the previous life, Nowitzki and Durant also had amazing performances in the Finals, once this kind of big man who can shoot once he finds his touch, playing the game is simply cheating, pulling out to shoot, the bag clamp and the single defense effect are almost the same, anyway, they can't be covered.

A center like O'Neal can't do it, he can only attack close to the basket, and the opponent can force him to pass the ball if he can't defend it, or send him free throws with a foul.

If O'Neal had made the right free throws, he would have been able to score 50+ in the Finals, but unfortunately he didn't have that ability. What O'Neill couldn't do, Yao Ming did, and it seemed that he was extremely good.

Yao Ming is off the field, Yang Rui has not let go of the magic, and he intends to leave an indelible memory for fans this season. So, he sent Brooks, James Jones, Dundee Jones, Landry, Odom.

This is not the Lakers' fringe lineup, and these five people can beat many teams in the regular season.

Because Lewis likes to pull out to shoot, Millsap and Posey play more time, and Odom didn't play much this time, Yang Rui just had a reason to let him brush up on the data in the contract year.

Odom lived up to expectations, playing inside and leading the bench to score, and abusing the Magic team miserably. At 133-75 in the final game, the Lakers won by 58 points.

Howard played 35 minutes, 1 of 6 shots, 6 of 8 free throws, 8 points, 10 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 block.

Even with the pick-and-roll, the Magic defender led Yao away, Howard didn't pose much threat when he received a pass in the air, and the Lakers perimeter player just fouled him before he jumped.

The Magic scored the most points, or in garbage time, with 14 points and 3 rebounds.

Lewis shot 5-of-14, Turkglu shot 3-of-11, Nelson shot 3-of-9, and the Magic's overall shooting rate was 30.8%.

The Lakers scored 6 double-doubles, and no one except Yao Ming scored 20+, and with this game alone, Yao Ming locked up the MVP.

Paul is also a lot less pressure, this "58 tragedy" is obviously easier to remember, as long as he doesn't get together with Howard in the future, he will be called "58 brothers" by fans if he doesn't get together well.

After the game, Yao Ming was the only protagonist among the players, and all reporters wanted to interview him, and there were 950 press booths in the Lakers' home court, 200 more than last year, but it was still not enough, and it was all occupied.

Yao Ming walked into the hall, and there was a commotion in the press area, and the shutter sound continued. He walked steadily, waving all the way, walking to his seat and smiling and waving to reporters in different directions.

If each reporter asked Yao Ming a question, it is estimated that he would be dumb, but fortunately, everyone wanted to ask the same question, Yao Ming answered some representative questions, and he passed the test.

When it comes to those basketball seniors in the NBA, Yao Ming is still very low-key, even if Chamberlain has not played the data in this game, he said that he still has a long way to go.

Yao Ming smiled happily when he mentioned Yang Rui: "If it weren't for Jerry's tactical arrangement, I wouldn't have been able to do all this, and I still feel like a dream." Maybe a lot of people have the potential to become superstars, all they lack is a good coach. ”

As soon as Yao Ming's words came out, Larry Brown would definitely be pulled out and whipped again, and the next issue of a basketball magazine was ready to analyze how many potential basketball stars Larry Brown had abolished.

Yang Rui was also interviewed, and his words were not shocking. "I'm not surprised by a big win, the Lakers have the ability to beat any team, we're the strongest. Here, I would like to share good news with the other teams. ”

The reporters focused their cameras on him, not knowing what good news the Lakers were strong and other teams could have.

Yang Rui smiled: "The good news is that I won't renew my contract with the Lakers after this season, I didn't think about leading the Lakers to win another three-in-a-row championship, and next season, other teams should have a chance to compete for the championship." ”

Immediately, a reporter asked: "Did you leave the Lakers because of a conflict with Kobe?" ”

As long as Yang Rui nods, then tomorrow there will be headlines in sports news all over the world.

Yang Rui didn't mention Kobe, his words were much more arrogant. "No, I did it because it was too challenging to win here. If this continues, I would probably suggest that management sign O'Neal's grandma in the summer to prove that grandma winning the championship is not a joke. ”

A reporter asked: "When Kobe Bryant was in the regular season, the Lakers rarely beat their opponents by a big margin, and the player statistics were much lower than in the playoffs. ”

Yang Rui thought about it for a while, and said seriously: "No, I think it's because the opponent has become weaker, this must be because Kobe Bryant prayed for us every game at home, God heard his voice, so we can play so well, don't hack him." ”

The reporters in the venue fainted, which is probably the most serious nonsense in the history of the NBA.

Reporters also interviewed Lakers players to hear their opinions on Kobe, and everyone had a tacit understanding to keep their mouths shut and do things that hurt others and themselves, and no one wanted to do it.

This is an unspoken rule of the NBA, in Yang Rui's previous life, even if the Lakers never entered the playoffs after 13 years, no player publicly sprayed Kobe, whether it was good or bad, left to the fans to evaluate.

The reporter also interviewed the Magic people.

Howard said depressedly: "I think the most difficult person to defend on the inside is Yao Ming, who is much more difficult to defend than Duncan, Stoudamire and others. He's terrible defensively too, and as long as he's in the box, you can barely hit the basket. ”

Magic coach Hollins also spoke highly of Yao. "He's the best offensive center in the game, he's also heavily underrated on the defensive end, and I don't know why he's never made the All-Defensive Team, I voted for him."
