The Pope of Basketball Community

Basketball Pope 519, Chapter 519 [Western Conference Finals, Half a Category] - 567 Chinese The regular season mvp award has always been more attractive than the best coach award, but this time Yang Rui stole the limelight from Kobe.

Kobe's acceptance speech was very boring. He said that it was not easy for him before and how difficult last season was. Now everything is over...

NBA is not a variety show like "China's Miserable King". Fans are not interested in hearing complaints, especially Kobe Bryant's difficulties are all self-inflicted, otherwise he would not have been booed at the Denver All-Star Game.

In contrast, Yang Rui's speech seemed full of confidence. To condense it, it can be summarized as "I am a bad guy."

Moreover, it was only the first time in his career that Kobe won the MVP, and his historical status is far from that of those famous players. Yang Ruike broke the historical record, and the media even talked about it.

As soon as the news came out, everyone who knew Yang Rui before or didn't knew him felt that he had a cheating life, he had broken the award record, and he was actually the youngest head coach in the NBA. Is there anything wrong?

The Eastern Conference teams also had a winner, with the Bulls eliminating the Wizards 4-2.

Both teams have tridents, and the Bulls are slightly better overall. The Wizards can't guard McGrady, but Artest can guard Jamison. In the substitute competition, Jamal Crawford also performed better than Jerry Stackhouse.

The Heat defeated the Raptors in a difficult 4-3 tiebreaker.

Although the Raptors lost, they played very well this year. Billups defeated veteran Gary Payton in every game, Carter was as powerful as Wade, and Kirilenko played a role in both offense and defense, guarding Eddie Jones to death.

The Raptors have an advantage on the outside, but they can't guard O'Neal on the inside. Blue-collar Jerome James and Kendrick Perkins' two-man shield battle doesn't work, and both of them have poor offense.

Now the Raptors boss is filled with regret. Tony Parker averages 29 minutes per game for the Spurs, 15.1 points, 5.2 assists, and 49.7% shooting. Perkins averages only 9.1 minutes per game, 2.5 points and 2.9 rebounds. Moreover, he was injured continuously and missed nearly two months of regular season games.

Although Parker and Billups overlap, they can definitely brush up their data and then send them away in exchange for better chips. The Raptors' deal makes it more difficult for the Lakers to win the championship.

On May 22, the Western Conference Finals kicked off in Los Angeles.

When the players appeared, Zhang Lili introduced the lineup and said: "Both sides have two All-Stars and former All-Star players. This is the series with the most stars in recent years."

Yu Jia said: "The Spurs attach great importance to this season. After this season, the backup point guard Tinsley's contract will expire, and the Spurs' No. 1 position will become weaker next season. It is really important for Tinsley to serve as Parker's substitute now." Luxury, occasionally the Spurs can play two defenders to enhance their impact, both of them are very fast and can break through sharply."

Zhang Lili said: "The Spurs' strongest breakthrough player is Ginobili. Many people compare him with Kobe. Looking at breakthroughs alone, Ginobili is not inferior to Kobe. Comparing the insiders of the two sides, the Lakers have Yao Ming and Rasheed. Texas, Odom, there are more players. But Duncan is one of the strongest stars in the league and the best defensive player. In terms of lineup depth, the Lakers and Spurs are evenly matched."

Yang Rui was a little surprised by the Spurs' depth at the No. 1 position, and the fringe players are all Benno Udrih. In Yang Rui's previous life, he worked for the Kings for several years. He was an all-around point guard who was good at sudden shooting, but his physical fitness and passing awareness were average.

The Spurs' only weakness is the small forward. Bowen is an excellent 3D player, but his substitute Glenn Robinson played very poorly in the playoffs, averaging only 3.8 points per game.

"I only love two things in my life, one is playing basketball, and the other is my mother." This was Robinson's confession to **Vitch after joining the Spurs. He knows he can't play 30 minutes a game with the Spurs, but he is willing to fight for a ring.

At this moment, misfortune struck Robinson. His mother, Christine, was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. After that, teammates never saw a smile on Robinson's face. Just the day before yesterday, Christine unfortunately passed away.

At his mother's funeral, Robinson vowed to win an NBA championship.

Yang Rui arranged the tactics in the locker room, focusing on positional warfare, but there was only one person changed.

Lakers: Mo Williams, Kobe, Iguodala, Rasheed, Yao Ming.

Spurs: Parker, Ginobili, Bowen, Muhammad, Duncan.

The Lakers made adjustments to limit Parker, and Mo Williams is faster than Jones. Yang Rui knows very well that Parker is also an All-Star player, and it will be unlucky to underestimate him.

In the previous life in 2007, the Spurs defeated the Cavaliers to win the championship, and Parker was elected the Finals MVP. The Spurs' high pick-and-roll is now very powerful.

The Spurs also made adjustments and strengthened their defense entering the playoffs to allow Muhammad.

Malone has reduced his playing time. He is 42 years old and his old arms and legs are no longer suitable. In the second quarter, he played with Nesterovich and could open up the space and make a difference.

Duncan won the jump ball and the game was on.

Ginobili passed the ball to Parker immediately after receiving the ball. His intention was too obvious, and he made a low-level mistake at the beginning and was intercepted by Mo Williams. The Spurs players returned to defense quickly, preventing the Lakers from launching a fast break.

**Vicci stood on the sidelines pinching his waist, with a serious expression and very dissatisfied.

Kobe took the ball from the outside, and Yao Ming and Duncan blocked it slightly, keeping one and a half steps away without getting close to him. He just won the Defensive Player of the Year award, and he is definitely not a wasted player. He always makes the right choices.

With this slight block, it would be difficult for Kobe to make a sudden jump shot, because the opponent's height and wingspan are astonishing, and even if he doesn't jump, it will interfere. Duncan kept his distance, which also made it difficult for Kobe to break through.

Kobe passed the ball to the center, Yao Ming took the ball, and Duncan returned to the center to defend, keeping his distance and not getting close to him. If Yao Ming wanted to shoot, he had to shoot against the defense. If Yao Ming broke through, it would be even harder to lose Duncan, and the only option left was basically Pass the ball.

Rasheed side-covered, and Yao Ming passed the ball to Mo Williams. Muhammad switched defense much faster than Malone, making it impossible for him to take a direct shot. Mo distributed the ball to Rasheed who was cutting in the air.

Rasheed squeezed Parker away and held the ball on the right side for a layup. As soon as the ball was released, it was slapped by Duncan and bounced on the backboard. Parker picked up the rebound.

The same tactic is not easy to pull off against the Spurs, and it is impossible for Rasheed to find his teammates empty every time and send a pass in time.

Parker turned around for a fast break, lowered his center of gravity and ran past Yao Ming in a few steps. He passed the ball to Muhammad who was on the fast break. The latter formed a mismatch with Mo Williams, received the ball and scored a layup. 0 to 2.

At the right time, Blue Collar can also score, and Parker's passing options are good. When he was with the Raptors, he could only play fast-paced games. Now after two years of experience with the Spurs, he can be fast or slow. He doesn't have many assists, but he can pass the ball to the right position.

When the Lakers attacked, Kobe and Yao Ming played a pick-and-roll again. This time, Yao Ming passed the ball to Mo Williams, and Parker directly pursued the defense. The defense of "French Sports Car" has also improved. He is fast and active in pursuit. In the Spurs, if he is not active, he will be scolded by ***.

Mo Williams passed the ball to Kobe again. Kobe received the ball and leaned against Bowen. He turned around on the left and failed to pass, and then passed it to Iguodala who was cutting from the baseline.

Duncan also followed Yao Ming. Kobe felt that passing the baseline was an opportunity. Ginobili's physique was definitely not as good as Iguodala's. But Ginobili is not a "black hole" that people can hit casually. He started quickly, cut off the basketball with a slap, and passed it to Parker, who protected the basketball and landed in position.

Zhang Lili lamented: "The Spurs have a balanced offense and defense, and the Lakers have met a team that can threaten them." 8)
