From today on is the king

Chapter 1236 1235. The dominance of the wheat awn combination! (810 for double monthly pass)
Although the Eagles' coaching staff did not find a tactical point of view when studying the Lakers' offensive tactics, they did a good job of targeting the offensive tactics of the Lakers' defense.

They definitely can't play inside, at least they can't play when Yao Ming is there, so the Eagles' offensive tactics are mainly divided into two parts.

One part is Mitaka keeps two on the field, against Bryant's defense.

Compared with the Heat with Payton, Wade, and Posey, the Lakers' perimeter defense is really not enough.

Of course, after the Eastern Conference Finals, the Eagles adapted to the Heat's perimeter defense.

But it’s no longer the same. Before the start of the 2008 finals, public opinion generally believed that the Lakers had a greater advantage in winning the championship. It seemed that the Celtics could not break the defense of the Lakers. In the finals, it was found that only Kobe’s Lakers could not defend against the impact of Ray Allen and Pierce.

The Eagles are just like the Celtics, who have just experienced the brutal defensive test in the Eastern Conference. In the finals, they found that, except for Kobe, the defense of the Lakers' other perimeter players was as good as paper.

The Eagles are very confident in their offensive advantage on the outside, whether it is the players or the coaching staff.

Therefore, the perimeter attack strategy is very simple, Liu Mang and McGrady's two-person cooperation!

And the second part of the duo's cooperation is that the two of them go inside more often. They don't have to enter the basket to attack, but they have to get close to the basket, so that Yao Ming must have the action of assisting defense, which consumes Yao Ming!
Liu Mang and McGrady, who have long adapted to physical confrontation in the series against the Heat, especially McGrady, who has faced the physical oppression of Artest, James, Posey, Wade and others successively, no matter whether it is a physical confrontation with Kobe Bryant or Odom.

Although it was teammates who scored more points, McGrady played a big role in holding back the defense.

No one thought that the Lakers would look so weak in the finals, just like in the original time and space in 2008, when Kobe won the regular season MVP, the Lakers swept the 50-win Nuggets in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs, defeated the New Shuangsha in the second round, and beat the defending champion Spurs 4-1 in the Western Conference Finals. People thought that the Lakers had a chance to kill the Celtics. When Ray Allen scored two consecutive three-pointers at a critical moment to win the Celtics who ended the series in Tianwangshan in six games, the Lakers looked vulnerable.

The Celtics defeated the Lakers not by defense, but by offense!The Celtics had two players averaging 20+ points per game in that Finals, Pierce and Ray Allen, and Garnett also averaged 18 points per game. In addition, Rondo, Eddie House, James Posey, Leon Powell... and many other Celtic players averaged 8 points or even 131 points per game in the series. The Celtics even scored [-] points in a single game!

As for the Celtics' defense, in addition to mistreating Gasol, the Lakers actually averaged about the same points per game as when they played against the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals.

The Lakers lost mainly because they couldn't prevent the Celtics at all!

It's the same this time.

In this game, the Eagles played against the Lakers from the very beginning!

On the offensive end, Yao Ming was overwhelmed at the basket, Kobe Bryant singled Prince, and his overall performance was better than the regular season. Wang Zhizhi and Fisher also grasped the three-point opportunities well.

But on the defensive end of the Lakers, they couldn't prevent the Eagles from the beginning!
After the Eagles got used to the Heat's defense, they felt that the Lakers' defense was like paper. Although Yao Ming scored few inside shots when he was at the basket, he shot very accurately from outside!

It's true that the Lakers put pressure on the perimeter, but the pressure is far from enough!

Compared with the Lakers' first three consecutive championships four years ago, Fisher's defensive end has degraded extremely seriously. Fisher, who was able to dunk Iverson in a counterattack, can't keep up at all now.

After the first quarter, the Lakers scored 26 points, very good. Yao Mingqiang played three times and dunked twice. Neither Rasheed Wallace nor Kwame Brown could stop them alone. It was only through a tacit attack that they defended once. Yao Mingqiang hit 3 of 2, made a catch layup, made 2 of 1 mid-range jumpers, and made 2 of 1 free throws. Yao Ming performed well in the first quarter, scoring 6 points on 4 of 9 shots.

The Eagles' defense against Kobe was stricter. Kobe passed the ball more, made 5 of 2 shots, and scored 5 points and 3 assists in the first quarter. Facing the Hawks' strong defense, the Lakers scored 26 points in a single quarter, which was very good.

But for the Eagles, Liu Mang scored 15 points and 3 assists in a single quarter, McGrady scored 6 points and 4 assists in a single quarter, Liu Mang's scoring and setters, and McGrady's organizational offense helped the Eagles score 41 points in a single quarter!
41 is better than 26!

In the first game of the finals, the Eagles actually led by 15 points in the first quarter!
It may be that the Lakers met the Suns and Mavericks in the Western Conference playoffs, and they are used to playing games with "civilized defense". !
Except for Liu Mang and McGrady who each scored a three-pointer, the Hawks' role players scored four three-pointers in a single quarter!

This caused the Lakers' defense against Liu Mang to be a headache, neither flanking nor not flanking, and it became completely different.

Liu Mang's three-point shot and the Lakers must have been very strict, so Liu Mang relied on McGrady to score the ball or break through by himself. He made 9 of 6 shots, 3 of 2 free throws, and scored 15 points in a single quarter!
Half of them are three shots, which are direct assists from McGrady!Moreover, of Liu Mang's three assists, two of them were McGrady's first pass after attracting some defensive attention, and Liu Mang's second pass was an assist!
The cooperation between Liu Mang and McGrady smashed the Lakers!
The tacit understanding between Liu Mang and McGrady was further improved in the sixth game against the Heat. Although Liu Mang did not have Anfernee Hardaway's style of play as if he could pick off the stars with his hand, Liu Mang remembered the simple sense of cooperation.

The Eagles, who were already strong enough to win 73 wins and even 74 wins if they were willing, showed their dominance in the first quarter of Game [-] of the Finals!
Even, it is even more dominant than the Heat, which was able to "sweep" the Mavericks with Jason Terry in the last four games of the 2006 Finals in the original time and space!
