Chapter 364 Finals!Legend Road!

"...I don't want to discuss too much...I don't care who the opponent is...If they are ready...Houston?" James said to the world: "Then come on!"

Reminiscing about last summer, LeBron James' unprecedented decision, which is about to end the ancient rules of the game, and make the O'Brien Cup a prop for young people to blow the rallying call and loot together?Or, will the Texas juniors fight back?

After a while, Stallone's "The Expendables 3" will be released again, and I can see almost all the classic muscular men, iron-blooded men, and men who wiped out an independent armed organization with a gun in one movie-Jason Statham, Jet Li, Bruce Willis, Eric Roberts, Mickey Rock, and himself this year.

The old heroes from all corners of the country gathered together again. When you look at them, you will see their grievances and all kinds of grievances and all kinds of wandering away, firing randomly to sweep away the vicissitudes of life, climbing trains and blowing up bridges... (Huh? Isn’t this a railway guerrilla?)

Yes, the 2011 finals still have this feeling today - heroes from all walks of life almost gathered together to fill in the content of the finals...

When I took a look at it, I froze. Are you sure this is not a replay of the All-Stars of a certain year?
Not to mention, there is no doubt that Miami is an All-Star in the Eastern Conference, and Houston is really a gathering of all-stars in the Western Conference regardless of many factors...

Pseudo-Eastern All-Star Heat, Cavaliers: James, Big Z, Heat: Wade, Raptors: Bosh, Supersonics and even Magic in previous seasons: Rashard Lewis, Old King: White Devil Bibby, and even Juwan Howard, the Wizards' annual salary of tens of millions...

Pseudo-western all-stars are more exciting and rich: Rockets are the most indisputable: MM combination: Yao Ming, Tracy McGrady; 76ers: Iverson; Lakers: Shaq O'Neal; plus future George, Harden, Cousins...

I think that when this scene really happened in reality, many years later, every time people mention this passionate match of sparks hitting the earth, they will probably talk about it...

Maybe it's not enough just to fight against each other. The "upgrade" journey of the two teams to eliminate the former powerful overlords makes people look forward to this match made in heaven...

The history of the two teams this year is obviously due to the opposite arrangement of fate.The Heat played the Celtics in the Eastern Conference semifinals. The Rockets lost two games in the first round and then swept the Lakers cleanly, kicking the gatekeepers of the East and West out of the reception room.

The Heat defeated the Bulls led by the youngest regular-season MVP in history 4-1 in the Eastern Conference Finals, and the Rockets swept the Grizzlies in the Western Conference Finals led by the No. [-] player in the playoffs MVP list.

Probably not enough duality, in Game 10 of the Western Conference Finals, the Rockets won in overtime and reversed. ——Are you still [-] points behind before the end?It doesn't matter, as soon as McGrady turned on his own modifier, he made a big reversal and advanced, so he didn't let James wait any longer.

But the similarities end there.

The Heat are headed by three 2003 golden middle school students. In addition to the almost 31-year-old Yao, the Rockets also have 32-year-old Tracy McGrady and Battier, 36+-year-old Iverson and O'Neal, 19-year-old George, and 20-year-old Harden and Cousins.

This is a Mesozoic passionate fight against young people and old men...

Similar to many goofy martial arts dramas, the older generation was eventually banned by the newcomers, so they began to preach and teach, and then their disciples rose to the top one after another, challenging the already glorious martial arts leader or master-killing enemy at that time...

George inherited McGrady's class to justify the name of the smart killer swingman, and James is just the originator of the all-around tank swingman...

When Harden is playing European moves, he has a bit of Iverson's heroic posture, while Wade on the opposite side is a master of shooting guards who don't shoot at all...

Cousins ​​is a representative of the traditional power forward who can slash inside. He has the violent background of the Sharks who ravaged the basket back then, but he has always been erratic on the outside, and even occasionally hit a few three-pointers.

Yeah, very different styles...

Against the Celtics and the Bulls, the Heat always changed their face suddenly in the last quarter. LeBron + Wade dominated both ends of the offense and defense, with a single defense and a block, and a steal and a counterattack.

The Rockets played against the Lakers in Game [-] and Game [-], and also played against the Mavericks in Game [-] and Game [-], but in different ways.

Iverson explodes, Iverson explodes... Iverson explodes, O'Neal explodes.

O'Neal explodes, O'Neal explodes, O'Neal explodes, George explodes...

George explodes, George explodes, George explodes, McGrady explodes...

Basically, this is the difference in style between the two teams.The Heat have a star forward (Bosh) who can support the offensive end, a group of role players who are desperate to defend and take charge of fixed-point shooting, plus two superstars who can dominate both offense and defense at any time, and work together to reverse the situation.

As for the Rockets, apart from Yao Ming's sweep of the Western Conference in this year's playoffs, the rest is a large number of young talents who are old and mature. The veterans connect all these flashbacks at critical moments, plus the league's top bombardment team and insiders.

Superstar talent VS sophistication is basically a comparison of finals styles.

Digging for weaknesses in the teams that reached the finals is a bit nitpicking.But Linghu Chong said well that day, every move must have flaws.The reason why Dongfang Bubai is invincible is not that he has no flaws, but that he has no flaws and has no time to grasp them.When encountering high-end opponents, the loopholes will be great—for example, I can't help but look at a cow, and Pao Ding has an idea in his heart while sharpening his knife.

Heat's advantage lies in the trident, and one person can't divide his energy.With Bosh's offense in the Eastern Conference finals, it is bound to take a lot of energy from Yao Ming's defense.If the Rockets use the young and violent Cousins ​​to defend against Bosh, they will lose backcourt rebounds and penalty area protection after pulling the air.

Harden and Iverson may be slaughtered against Wade, especially the latter; George must stumble against LeBron alone, not to mention McGrady.In fact, neither LeBron nor Wade can defend alone.The Bulls were able to entangle Wade with a Bogans matchup and half a Noah defense, but they couldn't hold back LeBron; the Celtics' defensive level was torn apart by LeBron and Wade.For the Rockets, the wing is an unsolvable problem.

Of course, the Rockets have many tricks that can be used. For example, the old teammate Mr. Aristotle or Houston Batman Battier (of course Adelman may not dare to use him), can be used to deal with Wade, stance to compress the breakthrough space of the Flash, or open the distance to prevent breakthroughs and shoot jumpers, and use George and his blood to deal with LeBron.

But overall, the Rockets' defense has to pay a price.Who guards against Bosh, which team is against LeBron, and which team is against Wade?
Adelman is likely to use two tricks: the zone defense used when playing the Grizzlies, and the contraction used when playing the Lakers.For the Heat this year in the playoffs, only LeBron, Jones, Chalmers, and Mike Miller in the last two games of the Eastern Conference finals can steadily score three-pointers.If the Rockets make up their minds to shrink the front line, they can let the three stars eat a pot.Don't worry too much about backcourt rebounds: Aerospace City is tall and burly, and Teodosic, the shortest starter, is 1 meters, which is still a strong Eastern European type.

Roaming and switching defenses are in place, rushing forward to the three-point line and blocking the penalty area, dragging into positional warfare.That's when the Heat's long-range shot was tested.

The next question is, how will the Heat defend Houston's No. [-] inside group in the league?The gimmick of Lao Yao's No. [-] center in the league is not what it used to be. Bosh, Big Z, and Haslem obviously have difficulty defending him alone.And once Yao Ming is double-teamed, McGrady's scalpel pass + shooter group's scoring line starts up enough for the hot team to drink a pot. The Serbs, Bledsoe, Harden, and George are all masters of taking advantage of the chaos, using youth as capital to bounce and steal offensive rebounds.

Therefore, the candidates for Yao Ming's hot defense must be solemn and serious.For example, at a critical moment, the Heat might send Team Ha, the devil's muscular man, to stand up to Yao Ming, and then others wait for the opportunity to play some unconventional three-handed games.

One of the shortcomings is that the Rockets rely too much on the containment of the inside line.But compared to last year, there are a few more veterans who often borrow from "ghosts and gods", which is difficult for them to deal with.

The heat team's two superstars against the sky at critical moments are all based on defensive pressure-start-ups-opportunity battles. In a word: it messes up the opponent's rhythm.And McGrady's ability to control rhythm in times of crisis is a good guarantee for the Rockets.The Rockets' mentality in this year's playoffs is stable and tough, which is the biggest difference from those Rockets in previous years.

Yao Ming is a free agent this summer, but he never thought about leaving the Rockets.This has something to do with the Chinese Zhuge Liang’s foolish loyalty. He said this: “I want to weigh my options, but there’s really nothing to do. This is where I am, and this is where I want to stay. Really. This is where my heart is. So, the answer is very simple for me. . . Pursue my goals."

Therefore, the Heat VS Rockets can also be said to be a duel between two team building methods and two values.Although many fans have watched the ball for a long time and are used to the former group of stars, they still hope that the latter will get some compensation.

Moreover, who said that the Rockets will always be the home team in the hearts of our Chinese fans?

All the staff at the Toyota Center wanted to see Ron with a red face like a prawn and a smile like a fat kid, taking the championship trophy from David Stern, who was smiling and not smiling.

Even though it's just a wild guess at the moment...

…It’s just that the team built for 4000 million yuan has overturned everything and spread all over the world. After the miracle of 34 consecutive victories in the regular season, what reason will there be not to win another championship and write a new legend?
　This is a Mesozoic passionate fight against young people and old men...
