Chapter 642 [Enemy of Lifetime, Express Respect]

Yang Rui quickly completed the signing with the Clippers, planning to let manager Nell Olshey make a transaction first, and then announce the news of joining.

Yang Rui is particularly accurate in identifying rookies. Other teams will think that the young people he likes have promise and make transactions more difficult.

The NBA game continued, and the Celtics eliminated the Hawks 4-3 in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Looking at the depth of the lineup, the Hawks are obviously stronger, but they don't have any championship qualities. At critical moments, they rely on Joe Johnson's singles, while Bosh, Josh Smith, and Harris disappear one after another.

The Hawks were founded in 1946 and joined the NBA in 1949. They are one of the oldest teams and have only won one championship in the 1957-58 season under the leadership of Bob Pettit.

The Western Spurs defeated the Lakers 4-2 to advance to the finals.

This time, the Spurs have the upper hand inside. Duncan and Yao Ming are evenly matched, Scola stunned Odom, and McDyess, Bonner, and Mahinmi can also play a role.

Kobe continued his habit of showing off his power as soon as he played the Spurs in the playoffs, averaging 31 points per game and shooting 47.7% from the field. Unfortunately, except for him and Yao Ming, everyone else performed poorly, and the Lakers' record of reaching the finals for five consecutive years ended.

The Lakers were eliminated not only because of poor coaching, but also because of Millsap's departure. Odom entered the starting lineup and had some overlap with Yao Ming. In the second quarter, he failed to organize and was good at supporting the inside line with the substitutes.

Millsap's style complements that of Yao Ming, and he is better at guarding pick-and-rolls. Now the Lakers' second lineup is led by Landry and Brooks in offense and has poor defense. Second-year rookie DJ White suffered a broken finger in late February and missed the playoffs.

Fans will not analyze the underlying reasons. They only see that the Lakers' strength has declined, the league's strongest bench gangster is gone, and the number one center Yao Ming's data is not as good as "Warcraft" Howard. Except for Kobe, everyone's data has dropped.

We are not afraid of not knowing the goods, but we are afraid of comparing goods.

The invincible dominance shown by the Lakers in the playoffs last year will be unforgettable for a long time. When Kobe comes back this season, all the "real teammates" have become "CBA teammates". Who believes that the reason for the loss is that Kobe's teammates are not good? ah? Except for Millsap, the Lakers are all role players, and all three core players are there.

At this time, even the peak Komi was embarrassed to say, "Kobe can't do it without shooting, and he can't make shots for his teammates." They can only blame Byron Scott.

The coaching is too bad, otherwise why would the role players who were so strong last season fail? Especially if the two-back tactic doesn't work, the defense will only get worse and it will be ugly to be beaten by the opponent.

There are prerequisites for using two defenders. Posey and Dengtay Jones are not available, and two small defenders Galandri are substituted. Three defensive weaknesses are simply looking for explosions.

Rookie DeMarre Carroll is inexperienced and performs poorly on both offense and defense. He has not played much throughout the season; Bogans is only 196cm tall and suffers from height disadvantages when playing small forward as a substitute; so after Iguodala comes off the court, Kobe Bryant can only Top position 3.

The Spurs are better off the bench. George Hill, Roger Mason, Budinger, Scola, and Matt Bonner played five players. They have super offensive firepower and can also guarantee defense.

Ginobili was put into the starting lineup, the GDP combination cooperated tacitly, and veterans McDyess and Jefferson starting at No. 4 can also open up space.

Jefferson's data dropped sharply after arriving with the Spurs, averaging only 11 points per game, but his 44% three-point shooting rate hit a career high, averaging 1.7 goals per game.

The Lakers were eliminated. This finals also attracted many fans to watch. Everyone felt it was very fresh. Finally, the team led by Yang Rui was no longer competing for the championship.

Yang Rui also watched the game at home. These two teams have never competed in the finals. He also wants to know which trident is more powerful, the GDP combination or the Big Three of the Green Army.

Garnett VS Duncan is the biggest highlight of the finals. What Hard Secret likes to say the most is that Garnett and Duncan are lifelong enemies. They are both No. 21, equally powerful, and are equally famous power forwards in the league.

There was this saying in Yang Rui's previous life,

Although he has never quite understood how Garnett, who has never defeated Duncan in the playoffs, won a championship as a team, and has no Finals MVP, can be as famous as Duncan, who has been the core of the Spurs, has five championships in his career, and three FMVPs. of.

After the game started, the starting GDP was evenly matched against the Big Three.

If it weren't for the fact that Parker could put Rondo two meters away when defending and Perkins didn't have the range, maybe the Green Army would have the upper hand.

In the substitute battle, the game became one-sided, and the Spurs with Scola were much better.

Rasheed Wallace has a championship ring with the Lakers. He doesn't have a strong desire to win, but he is more famous. This season, his condition declined to the point of being laid off. He joined the Celtics with a minimum salary and could only serve as a substitute. He was slow on the defensive end and relied entirely on shooting from a distance on the offensive end, which was not accurate. One-on-one against Scola, Rashid was completely at a disadvantage.

Not to mention Rasheed's defense against Scola's "Dream Step," Garnett was stunned by him for several rounds.

Budinger and Bonner are good at three-pointers. Scola goes out to play pick-and-rolls with Hill, and can also create opportunities for his teammates. He catches the ball in the high post and shoots accurately.

The Celtics' role players are a bit tragic. Rondo is still Rondo and doesn't shoot. No one cares about him on the outside. He passes through the air to find teammates. The defensive end is more important than the offensive end.

On the surface, Rondo's statistics are very eye-catching, averaging 13.7 points, 4.4 rebounds, 9.8 assists and 2.3 steals per game, and shooting 50.8% from the field.

In fact, Rondo's shooting percentage is high because he mainly relies on breakthrough layups. There are three giants to attract defense, and there are many easy mid-range shot opportunities. Mid- and long-range opponents simply do not defend him.

Even if long-range shots are wide open, Rondo's three-point shooting percentage is only 21.3% and his free throw percentage is 62.1%. The opponent can use "shark-cutting tactics" against him.

As for assists, Rondo passes to teammates who can shoot accurately when no one is guarding him and his passing vision is unobstructed, so as to increase his assist data. There will be someone very similar to him in the future, but because he can't shoot, he is always left out, resulting in inflated assist data, and that is "Golden Boy" Rubio.

This type of point guard is good at turning 2 points into 2 points and 1 assist in the game. The team's overall statistics have gone up, but the effect is only two points, which has no tactical effect at all. Because the opponent's defensive system will not change for someone like Rondo. Even if it changes, it will be all in the penalty area, making it more difficult for the Big Three to play and leave him and Perkins open.

Greens backup point guard Nate Robinson is impactful and has a unique style of play. He will hold the ball and rush inside like a headless fly. He has poor organizational skills. On the Spurs side, George Hill is much more stable than him.

The Spurs won the first game by 17 points, and in the second game, the Spurs also won by 13 points due to the solid performance of their players.

The Celtics, who returned to their home court, relied on Pierce and Ray Allen's outside attacks to get back into the game.

In the fourth game, Duncan severely suppressed Garnett. He made 9 of 18 shots and 6 of 8 free throws. He scored 24 points, 13 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks, and shot 50% from the field.

Garnett made 6 of 14 shots, a shooting percentage of 42.9%, and no free throws. He only scored 12 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists. When the team is guarded from the outside and needs a big man to attack, Garnett's weakness is undoubtedly revealed. He cannot hit the basket and can only rely on jump shots to end the offense.

The other two stars of the Green Army also scored less than 20 points. They were defeated 74-93 and fell behind 1-3.

Although the Green Army won the fifth game, the Spurs returned to their home court and gave them no chance. They won 83-79 and won the championship with a total score of 4-2.

Yang Rui watched every game and believed that his biggest coaching enemy was still Popovich. He always found a way to make the Spurs the favorites to compete for the championship. Even if there was a butterfly effect caused by a rebirth, the Spurs also won three championships, which is amazing.

In order to express his respect for Popovich and for the rise of the Clippers, Yang Rui plans to dismantle the Spurs as much as possible while building the team this summer...
