Chapter 575 [Despise and not pass, sweep and win the championship! 】

In the final quarter, O'Neal took a rest, and the Heat's Payton, Wade, Posey, Walker, and Mourning were on the court. They added three-point shooting points, but still could not catch up with the score.

The Lakers' substitute five-man defense breaks through better than when Yao Ming is on the court. Jones, Ellis, Ariza, Diaw, and Odom are all very mobile. On the offensive end, their efficiency has dropped a lot. They only have one stable three-pointer, which is not easy to beat the Heat. Zone defense.

Kobe played only 30 minutes and scored 22 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists.

Mo Williams scored 31 points and 7 assists in 30 minutes, making 12 of 18 shots, 3 of 7 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws.

Yao Ming easily achieved a double-double with 24 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks in 30 minutes.

The stars are all having fun, but Yang Rui will not let them play again. Playing again is just garbage time to score points. No matter how high the score is, they will not get good reviews.

In the last 5 minutes, the Heat replaced Wade and sent in Jason Williams and Butler. Posey continued to stay on the court and shoot three-pointers.

When Posey was with the Grizzlies, he could only work as a blue-collar worker most of the time. After joining the Heat, he became an important corner three-point shooter. In the playoffs, he shot 42.2% from three-point range and averaged 1.6 shots per game.

Butler is responsible for holding the ball and attacking, playing as a point forward, and finally begins to show his power. Not only can he score against Ariza alone, but he can also assist his teammates.

Unfortunately, they fell behind so much in the early stage that it was impossible for the Heat to catch up.

The Lakers won 126-97 and got off to a good start in the Finals.

After the game, while reporters congratulated the Lakers for winning, they also asked about a sensitive topic, which was the distribution of ball rights within the team. Kobe did not use pick-and-roll tactics in this game.

Yang Rui replied: "This is a surprise victory. The Heat did not expect that Mo Williams would be the main attacker. We established an advantage in the first quarter. Our primary goal is to defend the championship, not to help a certain star improve statistics."

The reporter asked: "Who do you think will win the FMVP?"

"I don't know, my job is to arrange tactics that will cause headaches for the opponent and ensure victory." Yang Rui said with a smile.

Yang Rui's answer left reporters who yearned for Kobe speechless. From a tactical perspective, his approach was impeccable. An offense that flourishes more is indeed harder to defend than letting a certain star play more.

In the second game, Yang Rui still arranged for Mo Williams and Yao Ming to play pick-and-rolls, leaving Kobe to be responsible for side cuts and low posts.

It's easy for Kobe to use his strengths when playing like this, but in the current system, the proportion of his offense is not large. In Yang Rui's previous life, Phil Jackson arranged for Kobe Bryant to play singles with the ball on the wing. He decided whether to face the frame or post up. It was singles and had nothing to do with the triangle offense.

Now, the Lakers score too many points and their efficiency is amazing. It is impossible for a team of all-stars to serve Kobe. There are still tactics.

Yao Ming was in trouble this time. He made 13 of 18 shots, 4 of 8 three-pointers, and 5 of 5 free throws. He scored 35 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists, and 2 blocks. He was the best in the game.

Mo Williams performed well again, with 22 points, 3 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals. Five of his assists were given to Yao Ming.

Kobe made 6 of 14 shots, 0 of 2 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, and scored 17 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists. If he wants to compete for MVP, he will have to break out in the next game.

The person who caused this result was not Yao Ming, but Mo Williams. As a point guard, after Yang Rui arranged tactics for him, he really dared to ignore Kobe. None of his assists in the two games were to Kobe.

Yang Rui not only analyzed the opponent's psychology, but also took advantage of O'Neal's weaknesses of poor physical strength and slow movement speed, and also took advantage of the psychology of his own team's players.

Mo is the most suitable point guard for the Lakers. He has played so well this season. Yang Rui originally wanted Kupchak to renew his contract, but after entering the playoffs, he found it difficult to retain him.

There will definitely be teams poaching players at a premium in the summer, betting on Xiao Mo's talent. Beginning next season, Yao Ming's contract will become a high salary. With Kobe, Odom, and Rasheed, the Lakers' four players with an annual salary of tens of millions will not be able to match Xiao Mo's big contract. It’s useless for him to restrict free people.

The Lakers are not short of money;

But there is Iguodala with more potential in the team. Iguodala will become a free agent in 2008. If he wants to renew his contract, he will definitely have an annual salary of tens of millions. Based on his performance against the Spurs, it is possible to give him the ball. Become an all-star.

As long as the Lakers management is in their right mind, they will give priority to renewing Iguodala. If they give up on him, they may give up a weakened version of Vince Carter.

Since you know you can't keep him, you might as well make him worth a higher value. It won't be uncomfortable to let him go. This is Yang Rui's mentality.

Xiao Mo knew this very well. When he chatted with Yang Rui, he said that he wanted to leave. Of course, he dared to ignore Kobe. What he wanted to do was to make his data more beautiful and win for Xia Tian. High salary increases leverage.

Kobe couldn't get angry, and he had a conflict with Xiao Mo and forced him to pass the ball to him? That was a tactic that violated the coach's instructions.

While Yang Rui helped Yao Ming arrange tactics, he also selected the person who would take the blame. It's all Mo's fault that Kobe doesn't have the ball. We all despise this "no pass", and then no one passes without being sent away. The Lakers will compete for three consecutive championships next season, and they must be very harmonious on the surface. Kobe can't cause trouble.

Game 3 is the Heat's home court. For the sake of ratings, the league does not want the Heat to be beaten as helpless as the Spurs, and their home whistle begins to play. Heat players make big moves when defending and will not be called for fouls easily. However, there is physical contact when breaking through, making it easier to get free throws.

Normally, the 122 zone defense is used to prevent breakthroughs. As a result, Wade broke through the zone defense with breakthroughs and showed his power under the encirclement and suppression of the Lakers' swingman array. He made 14 of 26 shots, 1 of 2 three-pointers, 13 of 18 free throws, and scored 42 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals.

O'Neal only took 9 shots in the game, hit 6, made 4 of 6 free throws, and scored 16 points, 1 rebound and 5 assists.

The two stars didn't play much, but other Heat players didn't play well enough. Only 4 players scored in double figures. Walker became an undercover player, making 6 of 17 shots, 0 of 5 three-pointers, 0 of 2 free throws, and scored 12 points and 7 rebounds.

Just looking at the offense, Walker is not too bad. He is really terrible on the defensive end and cannot defend the pick-and-roll.

Damon Jones played 15 minutes and made 4 of 8 shots, all three-pointers, and scored 12 points. Even the way he scored was the same. He used a ball-free screen inside to get rid of Payton's movement, and then caught the ball and shot a three-pointer. . The person covering him was either Odom or Rasheed. There were 8 shots in the game, 7 of which were like this. The person defending him was always Walker.

Yao Ming shot and cut, played very tactically, and overwhelmed O'Neal. He made 9 of 20 shots, 2 of 7 three-pointers, and 10 of 10 free throws. He scored 30 points, 12 rebounds, and 2 assists.

Kobe Bryant scored 28 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, Momo scored 16 points and 4 assists, and Odom and Ellis also scored in double figures.

The final score was 106-98, and the Lakers led 3-0, sealing the victory.

In the fourth game, the Heat still couldn't find a way to win and could only rely on O'Neal's strong play and Wade's breakthrough.

Wade made 11 of 28 shots, 0 of 2 three-pointers, made 25 free throws, made 21 of them, and scored 43 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, and 3 steals.

O'Neal unfortunately became a huge trap. He made 6 of 12 shots, 2 of 12 free throws, and scored 14 points and 12 rebounds. Yao Ming was troubled by fouls and left the game for the last six fouls. He only played 26 minutes and scored 18 points and 8 rebounds, which was no better than him. Difference.

Five members of the Heat scored in double figures. Jason Williams, Butler, and Posey scored 10 points, 11 points, and 10 points respectively. There was not enough firepower.

On the Lakers side, Kobe Bryant scored 35 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists, Odom scored 25 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists. Iguodala also had a blast with 20 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists.

The Lakers won 122-101 and swept the Heat to win the championship!
