Super Lord of the Rings

Five Nets scored in double figures.

Wang Jun made 5 of 15 shots and his shooting percentage was not high. Among them, he made 4 of 10 three-pointers and scored 14 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists. 14 points on 15 shots, justified without free throws.

Kittles made 4 three-pointers, Kidd made 3 three-pointers, and Rodney, Jefferson, and Lucios each scored one.

In order to defend against Martin's air cuts, the Lakers' formation has never been able to completely widen to defend against three-pointers. Kidd saw every stitch and frequently created easy shooting opportunities.

Malone can't play, and the direct beneficiary is Martin.

He scored 17 points, 8 rebounds and 4 dunks. On the defensive end, his role is also obvious. Whether it is a single defense, a pick-and-roll switch, or assisting in blocking shots, he has done a good job, keeping the Lakers players outside the penalty area most of the time.

Medvedenko has become the biggest weakness of the Lakers. His offense is weak and his defense is poor. He can only wait for an opportunity in the middle. He scored 6 points, all of which were easy jumpers in the middle.

"Zen Master" can't cook without rice, and no one is available for the Lakers at No. 4.

Upper Cook's defense was even worse, and Upper Wharton was a cameo, unable to withstand the impact of Martin. Pinning your hopes on two rookies sucks.

On the Lakers side, Kobe made 6 of 13 shots, 0 of 4 three-pointers, and 6 of 6 free throws. He scored 18 points, 3←↙, 7 rebounds and 7 assists. His shooting percentage soared. Unfortunately, his opponent was even stronger.

O'Neal is still the Lakers with the best statistics. He made 4 of 11 free throws and made 8 of 15 free throws. He scored 20 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists.

One of the main reasons for their failure is O'Neal's repeated leaks in the pick-and-roll defense.

After the game, all sports media and basketball experts began to calculate an account. It is not an accident that the Nets win at all, and their offensive efficiency per game is higher than that of the Lakers.

The Nets' three-point shots accounted for a large proportion. High hit rate is the key. The Lakers' offense is mostly within the three-point line.

Leaving aside O'Neal's free throws and shooting percentage, if he takes 30 shots a game. 60% shooting can score 36 points.

The Nets made 40% of their three-pointers and took 30 shots to match O'Neal's peak performance. The opening of the perimeter can also create air-cut scoring opportunities for the inside.

When O'Neal scored only 20 points, he couldn't shoot from the outside. How could he win against the Nets, who had an overall 40% three-point shooting percentage?

Even though we lost this time, it was actually better.

Kobe Bryant's wave shot is even more terrible.

If a team has a player who shoots 35% of his two-pointers and 25% of his three-pointers takes one-third of the team's shots, his teammates will have to hit the sky to fill this big hole.

Basketball is a team sport. This will never change, and stars are no exception.

Before Jordan partnered with Pippen and Grant, he was still eliminated in the playoffs every year. A little earlier, Chamberlain was invincible in statistics, but Russell won the most championships.

From the moment Malone was reimbursed, the Lakers were destined to miss the championship. If Medvedenko was given doping, he would not be Martin's opponent.

Wang Jun and Kittles' three-point firepower is far better than the Lakers' outside line. The off-ball style of play makes the Lakers' defense focus on one thing and lose another.

Some people on the Internet analyzed that there is no Malone. The Lakers stopped eating as early as the Spurs. The Pistons made it to the finals, and when they meet the current Lakers, they will probably win the championship.

Fortunately, the Lakers eliminated the Spurs. If the Nets beat the Spurs in the finals, it would be enough. Luck is also part of strength. They are one step away from winning the cup.

After staying in Los Angeles for two days, Wang Jun received many calls. Yao Ming and Big Zhi all congratulated him on winning the championship in advance, and James and Kaman also called to congratulate him. The tone is slightly sour, envious and jealous.

The Chinese media directly called Wang Jun "the first Chinese player to win the NBA championship ring in his first game".

The American media also agreed that the Nets will win the championship. No team has ever come back from a 0-3 deficit.

The Lakers continued to have problems internally, during the break. Jackson didn't convene a meeting with the players to study how to deal with the Nets. It's not that he gave up on himself, but the Lakers management is determined to send O'Neal away this summer and keep Kobe.

The reason is simple, Kobe is younger, promising, and his beautiful style of play can attract fans.

Jackson felt that Kobe and O'Neal were not at the same level. O'Neal is the cornerstone of the team, the core of tactics, and Kobe is an assassin who is good at scoring.

Arrange tactics with the inside line as the core, and everything will be easy to handle. What tactics should Kobe play as the core? He rarely picks and rolls with his teammates, he just likes to ask for the ball to do it alone, so he can win the championship?

Jackson has no shortage of championship rings, and he can't stand a team without O'Neal, that's looking for abuse. Therefore, he has decided to resign and leave the Lakers in the summer. Unless the Lakers management gives Jenny Buss more rights and more voice, he will consider continuing to coach.

At this point, O'Neal lost his energy.

He has seen the opponent's shark-slashing tactics, flopping and other tactics, and he has nothing to do if the news spreads that his teammates can't make the shot. He lost his appointment in the last battle, let Kobe play by himself.

What about Kobe?

He struggled against the unfavorable factors on and off the field alone. There were almost no supporters in the United States. He was a young man who lost his way in the eyes of everyone.

In an interview, he did not say that he is confident of a comeback. What he is looking forward to most now is to increase the shooting command rate. The current command rate is too ugly.

The most disappointed about the game is not the Lakers players and fans, but the league president David Stern.

The ratings of the first game of the finals were extremely high, setting a record for the ratings of the finals after Jordan retired. Stern is looking forward to it being a game of dragons and making a lot of money.

Wang Jun's gimmicks from Chinese players and the Lakers' f4 gimmicks are all good. As a result, after two games, the ratings dropped a lot. It was all because the Lakers were too disappointing and the Nets won too easily.

Stern gave up the Lakers. He saw that the current Lakers are different from those in 2002, and they couldn't help them at all.

The fourth battle unfolded against this background, and the ratings dropped a little.

Kobe no longer played back like he did on the court, and actively asked for the ball, increasing his breakthroughs.

Even in the face of double-teaming, Kobe successfully broke into the paint four times in the first quarter, made two fouls and won free throws, and scored a goal to form an assist.

His sense of rhythm is very good, shuttling through the cracks of people, it doesn't feel like he can pass quickly.

Kobe Bryant won applause from the home fans for a difficult tie-bar layup, but it was too late.

Kobe broke through to attract the defense, and gave the ball to the outside to be free. In the first quarter, he helped the Lakers bite the score. He personally scored 8 points and sent 3 assists.

In the second quarter, the Nets opened up the score again.

The Lakers really couldn't prevent the Nets' pick-and-roll inside, and Martin scored consecutively with an air cut in the middle. Brian? Cook can't defend Kidd, and he can't defend. Fisher and Rush's misplaced defense against Martin couldn't stop the air cut.

Kobe was double-teamed today and would split the ball, and his shooting percentage was good, but he shot less, and his teammates on the outside couldn't support the team's offense, and they still couldn't play.

In the second half, O'Neill and Kobe began not to pass the ball to each other, and each went heads-up.

If the Lakers play at home first, they may be able to resist. After losing two away games in a row, their morale has dropped to freezing point, and they can't even exert their home advantage.

In the final quarter, the Nets led by up to 27 points and replaced all the main players three minutes early.

In the end, 104 to 82, the Nets swept the championship 4-0. (To be continued.)
