The Pope of Basketball Community

The best players of the two teams in the first game were the two O'Neals.

"Shark" had 34 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks, and "Bubble" had 28 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 3 blocks.

Carter made 8 of 17 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, 3 of 4 free throws, and scored 20 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, and 1 steal.

Kobe performed poorly in the first game. He made only 8 of 24 shots, 3 of 9 three-pointers, and 3 of 3 free throws. He scored 22 points, 2 rebounds, and 3 assists. Moreover, the team lost by a big score. He did nothing.

The Raptors' defensive strategy was successful. It cut off the connection between OK combinations and double-teamed Kobe after O'Neal came off the court. In the end, the Lakers' total score was not high.

The media's tone was one-sided, and online fan voting predicted the outcome was also one-sided. Everyone was optimistic that the Raptors would win, and some fans voted online for the Lakers to be swept. There is a gap in strength between the two teams. If the Lakers return home with a total score of 0-2, they may not have much confidence left, so the second game is very important.

As a result, the Raptors won the second game 109-100.

The Lakers seemed to have a chance, leading by 7 points at the end of the third quarter. Unfortunately, O'Neal made 4 of 12 free throws in the final quarter. Against the Raptors' ball tactics, he could not recover from the fast break, and the Raptors completed the reversal in a wave.

In the third game back at home, the Lakers finally won by chance, 106 to 103.

Their offensive routine has not changed from before, and they still rely on OK combinations. Kobe made 14 of 23 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, 7 of 10 free throws, and scored 36 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists.

Kirilenko committed four fouls in the first half, which could only reduce his playing time. Others were not effective in guarding Kobe.

O'Neal made 12 of 19 shots, 11 of 17 free throws, and scored 35 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists, and 4 blocks. As long as O'Neal can guarantee a free throw percentage of over 60, he won't be afraid of the shark-cutting tactic, and there's no need to negotiate one-on-one abuse of the Raptors inside.

Fisher also performed well;

4 of 7 shots, 3 of 3 three-pointers, 2 of 4 free throws, 13 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists.

No one from the Lakers scored in double figures. Only DeGeorge and Brian Shaw scored among the five substitutes. The score of the two substitutes was 9 to 33.

The main reason for the Raptors' defeat was Carter's inaccuracy. He made only 8 of 24 shots, 0 of 4 three-pointers, and 5 of 6 free throws. He only had 21 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists. Carter's statistics in the first two games lagged behind O'Neal. He wanted to win the Finals MVP again, so he took more shots, but he was terrible.

Carter's high efficiency is inseparable from the help of his teammates. This time the Lakers guarded Carter closely. In addition to Kobe's personal entanglement, Fox also did a good job when switching defenses.

After the game, Yang Rui asked Carter to make adjustments, forget about the data, and pass the ball to the opponent who has an advantage.

"Si, Kobe will compete with you in this series. As long as your efficiency drops, the Lakers will have a chance to win. Phil Jackson will also play psychological warfare. He is taking advantage of your desire to compete for MVP. If you continue Attack the opponent’s stronger defense and let them succeed.”

In Yang Rui's previous life, the Cavaliers and Warriors met in the finals. The Cavaliers' strategy was to guard against Warriors core Stephen Curry and use his mentality of wanting to win MVP against the Warriors.

Although the Cavaliers lost in 2015, the MVP was Iguodala on the bench. Curry had no data when taking care of the team. If he wanted data, he had to take shots under the opponent's endless close-ups and double-teams. The efficiency was completely different from that in the regular season. people. At that time, the Cavaliers were plagued by injuries. There were only seven players on the team who could play, two of them were marginal players, and they still won two games.

In the 2016 Finals, Curry was again severely guarded and performed poorly. Not only did he fail to win the MVP, but he also made a disastrous comeback when the team led 3-1.

Yang Rui doesn't want to see this happen to the Raptors, even though the Lakers have few points and their style of play is restrained.

In the fourth game, Carter stopped messing around and switched to playing without the ball, relying on cover runs to catch the ball and hand over the one-on-one responsibility to O'Neal.

This simple adjustment made it difficult for the Lakers. Carter's constant movement attracted the defense. To keep an eye on Carter, someone with high mobility must be able to hit him. He was fast, and Kobe couldn't catch up with him every time. In this way, it becomes O'Neal versus O'Neal on the other side.

Playing in the low post, of course Bubble Bobble can't help the Sharks, but when O'Neal pulls out for a mid-range shot, O'Neal becomes depressed. If he doesn't prevent interference, O'Neal has a high shooting percentage. If O'Neal passes the ball, Kirilenko or Happ will Lin cuts through the air and can hit the basket after receiving the ball.

The Raptors use this backdoor approach, and it always works no matter what team they face.

In the end, five Lakers scored in double figures. O'Neal had 34 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists. He performed well on 10 of 16 free throws, but they still lost. The Raptors' key figures were two role players.

Halprin showed off his strength and scored 22 points and 6 rebounds. Because of his strong form, Reed only played a total of 8 minutes and watched his teammates from the bench.

Kirilenko scored 8 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 5 blocks. He did not score in double figures. He played an obvious role on the defensive end, almost hitting 5 times 5 data. Kobe suffered three more big blocks and was stolen twice in this game. Although he scored 25 points, his shooting rate was not high and he made 6 turnovers.

The Raptors won 121-110 and gained match point.

The finals schedule is 232. The Lakers played three consecutive home games. In the fifth game, they stood on the edge of the cliff, still unable to defeat O'Neal.

O'Neal suffered a lot against Duncan, Garnett, Nowitzki, Webber and others in the regular season. He was definitely a superstar compared to other power forwards. When he encountered someone like Horry who couldn't jump, he felt great.

The Lakers moved away Horace Grant in the summer, and the defense at the 4th position became weaker. Samaki Walker's defense is better than Horry's, but the Lakers don't dare to let him play for too long. He is double-teamed as soon as Kobe and O'Neal are on the court, and he can be left open.

O'Neal scored 26 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks in Game 5. He was the Raptors' most stable performer. It was two more role players who decided the outcome. Yang Rui showed excellent on-the-spot adaptability.

In the final quarter, he sent Tony Parker and Jumaine Jones.

After two games of silence, the "French Sports Car" showed off its power in the final quarter, making 5 of 6 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 12 points and 2 assists. He and Miller played pick-and-rolls and disrupted the Lakers' defense with sharp breakthroughs.

The Lakers asked Horry to defend the pick-and-roll, and O'Neal defended near the penalty area, but the Raptors played four players who can shoot three-pointers, and Jumaine has a longer range than O'Neal.

He has been a marginal player this season, averaging only 3 minutes per game in the playoffs, but he finally showed his strength today. He played only 5 minutes and made three three-pointers. After a feint, he broke through O'Neal and dunked, scoring 11 points.

The Raptors widened the point difference to 23 points in a wave, defeating the Lakers. Afterwards, they strengthened their defense, slowed down the offensive rhythm, opened up and let the stars attack one-on-one, maintaining their advantage until the end.

In this series, Phil Jackson and Yang Rui formed a sharp contrast. The team was lagging behind by a big score, and he practiced sitting meditation on the sidelines. He basically didn't call a timeout. Even if he did, the timing was hard to understand.

The Lakers' OK combination performed well, but against the Raptors, they must score more points and be more efficient to win the championship, because the team cannot defend them. The ok combination is only strong at two points, and the other three positions in the starting lineup and the bench are dominated by the Raptors.

118 to 100, the Raptors easily won the championship with a total score of 4 to 1. ·k·s·b·
