Chapter 632 [Unfortunately laying a gun, winning the championship]

The next day, Yang Rui made headlines by saying, "Kobe prays for us."

He didn't swear, he didn't say Kobe was alone, and his expression was serious, but because the Lakers won and Yao Ming scored a super double-double, he became very happy.

所有媒体也都提到了姚名的超级数据，之前现役球员最恐怖的总决赛表演是2001年的奥尼尔打出的。大鲨鱼第二场完全爆发，全场19投12中，交出了令人瞠目结舌的28分20篮板9助攻8盖帽的准四双成绩单。

Yao Ming scored 23 more points than O'Neal, and the data is even more unforgettable. Many people think that Yao Ming has surpassed the peak O'Neal.O'Neal is more dominant in the low post, but has a short range and poor free throws, not as comprehensive as Yao Ming.

While the media and basketball experts praised Yao's name, Kobe unfortunately "laid a gun".

During the regular season, many fans believed that Kobe had surpassed "Magic" Johnson and became the No. 1 in Lakers history, and even surpassed Jordan to become No. 1 in NBA history.The reason is that Kobe led the Lakers to three consecutive championships, personally won 4 MVPs, led the team to the finals with a single core last season, and so on.

Now that everything has been overturned, pundits generally agree that Bryant is overrated.

First of all, the overall strength of the Lakers is too strong, and Kobe's personal honors have insufficient gold content.

Secondly, according to statistics, in the last 24 seconds of the game, Kobe's shooting percentage was only 30.4%, which was far from James' 48.9%, and even Dirk Nowitzki's 43.9%.Bryant's clutch shooting percentage is only 1 percentage point higher than the league average, and almost all of the league's All-Star players have more critical shots than Bryant.Where is this key sir?Clearly an undercover.

Finally, in the past few seasons, the toughest arrows on opponents have been defended by teammates, allowing Kobe to save a lot of energy on the defensive end, but it was Kobe Bryant who made the All-Defensive Team.

On the Internet, jokes such as "Kobe hugged the giant's thigh" and "Only Kobe can guard against Yao Ming" spread.

Kobe's TV unfortunately died suddenly while broadcasting sports news...

At this time, the Bass family was pleasantly surprised.

The commercial value of the Lakers in the playoffs has not diminished at all, and they have made a lot of money.The only worry is that Jim Buss promised Bryant a max salary and a long-term contract, as well as a trade veto. In the current situation, Bryant seems to be really a cancer.

Old Buss is concerned about the playoffs. He now hopes that the Lakers will build the team with Yao as the core. Next year, Yao Ming can choose to jump out of the contract and renew the contract with a maximum salary. He will be 30 years old and should be stronger for a few years. It is the last one. a large contract.

Kobe should try to stay as much as possible, because Kobe attracts fans and is the most gimmicky person in the league. Even if he doesn't play games, the media has not reduced his coverage. This sense of presence is not comparable to other stars.

The second battle between the two sides continued in Los Angeles.

This time Hollins changed his defensive strategy and began to act like other teams, with two or three people forming a circle on one side to help defend Yao Ming, shrinking at any time to create pressure on him, and relying on rotation to defend on the outside.

In Yang Rui's previous life, many teams defended Yao Ming so much. After 2005, defending Yao Ming alone was a dead end.Adelman has a way to solve this trick when he is leading the Rockets. First, Yao Ming increases his movement and changes his left and right sides, which disrupts the opponent's defensive position. Second, after attracting the defense, he quickly passes the ball out of the perimeter and makes his teammates shoot three. point.

If you catch the ball at 70 degrees, the opponent can save it or rely on rotation to prevent it, but if the ball is transferred to the bottom corner, it is usually an open position.

Unfortunately, Daniel Gibson made a three-pointer from the bottom corner. Iguodala, Posey, and James Jones also made three-pointers. In the first half, the Lakers made 15 three-pointers from the outside, which collapsed the magic shot. .

In the second half, the Magic did not dare to double-team again, and Yao Mingming picked and showed his power.

In the final 128 to 90, the Lakers won by 38 points, which was smaller than the playing point difference because Yao Ming, Iguodala, and Millsap did not play at the end of the game and went to the audience.

姚名只打了30分钟，26分11篮板4助攻3抢断2盖帽，霍华德同样30分钟，14分8篮板4助攻2抢断3盖帽7个失误。

Howard has become one of the five embarrassing upstarts, and he has staged a good show where a long teleportation is directly sent to Yao Ming.Yao Ming made three steals without knowing what to do.

In the third game, the Lakers won 114-93 away.

Lewis and Turkoglu, who scored 20 and 21 points respectively, exploded once, and the others continued to slump.

In Yang Rui's previous life, the Magic could win a game against the Lakers, relying on Alston's outbreak. The streetball king scored 12 points and 8 assists on 20 of 4 shots. Now that Alston is not there, Nelson was defended very badly and performed the best. He also scored only 15 points and 6 assists.

The Lakers' defense looks impeccable as long as they don't have a double guard and a top three swingman.Howard was abused by Yao Ming. He didn't have many free throws, and he didn't dare to attack in the low post. He scored less than 20 points in three consecutive games.

In the fourth game, Yao Ming broke out again under the arrangement of Yang Rui. He made 31 shots, hit 15 goals, made 10 of 4 three-pointers, and 8 of 8 free throws. He scored 42 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 5 blocks. The team won 119 to 91 and swept the championship.

霍华德12投5中，罚球再次超水平发挥8中6，得到16分14篮板2助攻4盖帽，外加7次失误。

总决赛霍华德场均11.7分12篮板2.5助攻2.7盖帽6失误，投篮命中率44.2%，罚球命中率71%。

姚名场均出手27.3次，砍下40.3分15篮板5助攻2抢断3.5盖帽，投篮命中率52.3%，三分命中率40%，罚球命中率82.2%。

Yao Ming was successfully elected FMVP and won the championship trophy with his teammates.

In addition to Yao Ming, other Lakers players also received high evaluations and played well throughout the playoffs.

The breakthrough ability of the two point guards, the versatility of Iguodala and Odom, Millsap's offensive rebounds, Landry's mid-range shots, James Jones, Gibson's three-pointers, Posey, Deng Tai Jones' defense, etc., left a deep impression on people.

Mike Breen commented: "The Lakers' performance in the playoffs is like a dream team, with less perimeter strength, but Yao Ming is much stronger than the Dream Team centers Howard and Stoudamire, and the Magic can't do it at all. Any threat to the Lakers."

Barkley said: "If the Lakers play like this in the regular season, they are likely to break the winning streak. Yang Rui will be leaving after the season. I don't know where he will go next. According to his tone, he is ready to join a team. Bad team."

After the game, the Lakers players were interviewed. The praise for Yang Rui was like the flood of the Yellow River. The Lakers have never missed the finals in five years and won four championships, which is incredible.

When the playoffs first started, the Lakers had no confidence to win the championship, let alone win the championship with this sweeping method.After reaching the finals, they realized that they were really strong.

As soon as the players are happy, they don’t pay much attention to what they say, revealing some information implicitly, such as “I didn’t play my best strength during the regular season”, “I don’t have the ball during the regular season, so I can only dribble over half court. Pass and defend."

They didn't name names, but all the reporters knew who was keeping them from getting the ball.

Yao Ming, Millsap, Lamar Odom, and Landry all shot more than 50% from the field, and Iguodala's shot rate was close to 50%. These people sacrificed the right to shoot and shot 45% There is no end to the throw, and you can use your toes to figure out how to hit more efficiently.

In the playoffs, the Lakers' three-point shooting rate has also improved, reaching 39.7% overall, making a lot of shots, coupled with the league's strongest rebounding ability, it is reasonable to sweep and win the championship.
