Chapter 631 [God heard his voice]

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 by dozens of times. Up to now, there have only been three single-game 50+ performances in the history of the finals.

最近的一次是1993年6月16日, 迈克尔乔丹在对太阳的总决赛上出场46分钟，37投21中，罚球18罚13中，轰下了55分8篮板4助攻。值得一提的是乔丹在这场比赛中只有1次三分球出手，而且未能命中，55分也是NBA总决赛史上的单场最高分。

However, the 55-point single-game scoring record in the Finals was not held by Jordan alone. He just tied the record set by Rick Barry in 1967.That year, Barry scored 76 goals in Game 22 of the Philadelphia 19ers' finals. What's interesting is that this master, who is good at free throws using the "urinating pot" posture, only made 11 of 60 free throws in that game. If A little more accurate, I am afraid he can set a record of [-] 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 Game 1969 of the 53 Finals against the Celtics, West had a blast, scoring [-] points alone.

Now, Yao Ming has become the fourth player in history, and he is the only inside player who has won this kind of data in the finals.

Barkley analyzed: "Yao Ming can play this kind of data. It is only one reason why his offensive skills can be inside or outside. Another important reason is that the opponent is the Magic. Magic players trust Howard's one-on-one defense too much. They are not like other balls all season. The team used the joint defense system to prevent the penalty area, and Yao Ming got too many singles opportunities."

Kenny Smith sighed: "To deal with Yao Ming, it is really difficult to limit the single defense. He makes a jumper in the middle at the end of the quarter, and he can't block the magic double team. He is too tall."

Yang Rui turned Yao Ming into a wonderful insider.In the previous life, Nowitzki and Durant also had amazing performances in the finals. Once such a big man who can shoot finds his touch, playing the game is like cheating. Pulling out to shoot, the effect of double-teaming and single-defense is similar, anyway. can't be covered.

A center like O'Neal can't do it. He can only attack near the basket. The opponent can't defend and can force him to pass the ball, or directly foul and send him a free throw.

If O'Neal made a free throw, he would definitely score 50+ in the finals, but unfortunately he doesn't have that ability.What O'Neal couldn't do, Yao Ming did, even more so.

Yao Ming went off the court, and Yang Rui did not let the Magic go. He intends to leave an indelible memory to the fans this season.So, he sent Brooks, James Jones, Dundee Jones, Landry, Odom.

This is not the Lakers' fringe lineup. If these five players are in the regular season, they can win the starting lineup of many teams.

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

Lamar Odom lived up to expectations, playing inside and leading the substitutes to score, and the Magic team was miserable.In the final 133 to 75, the Lakers won by 58 points.

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

Even if the Magic guard leads away Yao Ming through the pick-and-roll, and Howard cuts the pass to receive the pass, there is not much threat. The Lakers perimeter player fouls before he takes off.

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

Lewis made 14 of 5 shots, Turkoglu made 11 of 3 shots, and Nelson made 9 of 3 shots. The Magic's overall shooting percentage was 30.8%. The defense was terrible, and only three of the team scored in double figures.

6 Lakers scored in double figures, and no one except Yao Ming scored 20+. With this game alone, Yao Ming was locked in the MVP.

Paul is also under a lot less pressure. This "58 Massacre" is obviously easier to remember. As long as he doesn't join Howard in the future, it will be fine. If they get together, they will be called "58 Brothers" by fans.

After the game, Yao Ming was the only protagonist among the players. All reporters wanted to interview him. There were 950 press seats in the Lakers' home hall, 200 more than last year, but it was still not enough, and they were all filled.

When Yao Ming walked into the hall, there was a commotion in the press area, and the shutter sounded continuously.He walked steadily, waved continuously all the way, walked to the seat, and smiled and waved to reporters in different directions in turn.

If every reporter asked Yao Ming a question, he would probably be dumb. Fortunately, everyone wanted to ask the same thing. 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 never played the data for this game, he said that he still has a long way to go.

Yao Ming smiled happily when he mentioned Yang Rui: "Without Jerry's tactical arrangements, I would not have been able to do all of this, and I still feel like a dream. Maybe many people have the potential to become superstars, and what they lack is just one Good coach."

As soon as Yao Ming's words came out, Larry Brown would definitely be pulled out and whipped again. The next issue of Basketball Magazine will analyze how many potential basketball stars Larry Brown has abandoned.

Yang Rui also accepted the interview, and the words were not surprising. "I'm not surprised that the team wins, the Lakers have the ability to beat any team, we are the strongest. Here, I want to tell other teams a good news."

The reporters focused their cameras on him, wondering if the Lakers are strong, what good news can other teams have.

Yang Rui smiled and said: "The good news is that I will not renew the contract with the Lakers after this season. I never thought about leading the Lakers to win another three-peat. Next season, other teams should have a chance to compete for the championship."

A reporter immediately asked: "Did you leave the Lakers because of a conflict with Kobe?"

As long as Yang Rui nods, then the world's sports news will have headlines tomorrow.

Yang Rui didn't mention Kobe, his words were much more arrogant. "No, I'm because it's too unchallenging to win the championship here. If it goes on like this, I might 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 was here in the regular season, the Lakers seldom beat their opponents, and the player numbers were much lower than in the playoffs. You once said in the mid-season that Kobe was too independent, but now he can't play, because the Lakers have become stronger. The reason?"

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

Reporters fainted in the venue, which is probably the most serious nonsense in NBA history.

The reporters also interviewed the Lakers players and wanted to hear their views on Kobe.

This is an unspoken rule of the NBA. In Yang Rui's previous life, even if the Lakers did not make the playoffs after 13 years, no player would publicly criticize Kobe. Whether it is good or bad, it is left to the fans to evaluate.

The reporter also interviewed the magic crowd.

Howard said depressedly: "I think the most difficult person to defend in the interior is Yao Ming. He is much harder to defend than Duncan, Stoudamire and others. His defense is also terrible. As long as he is in the penalty area, you can almost Can't get to the basket."

Magic coach Hollins also highly praised Yao Ming. "He's the best offensive center in active service and is seriously underrated on the defensive end. I don't know why he never made the All-Defensive Team. I voted for him."
