Chapter 264: [Cowardly move, the Lakers are over]


After 5 minutes, Yang Rui made adjustments, Hornacek came out to replace Tracy McGrady, Cato replaced Miller with five fouls, and Boykins, Christie, and Jumaine continued to play.
Carter will not play again because of the team's big score. He only played 30 minutes. He made 10 of 17 shots, 4 of 9 3-pointers, 6 of 6 free throws, 30 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals.
He didn't feel nervous when playing the finals for the first time, but he still had some intentions. He still had energy.
On the Lakers side, Phil Jackson replaced the tired O'Neal, playing small ball tactics, Fisher, Kobe, Rice, Fox, Hawley.
On the surface, it seems to be garbage time, but in fact Jackson still has a hint of fantasy, so let the people who are good at shooting together.
However, the Raptors' bench was not weak, and Christie seriously defended. After the pick-and-roll, Zhu May was quick to change defense and struggled with Kobe. He is 203cm tall and weighs 100kg. He is a small forward and plays a power forward.
In the rookie season, Zhu Mei failed to get too much playing time in the regular season. Now he is on the big stage of the finals. He has a strong performance desire and wants to prove himself to contribute to the team.
The Lakers couldn't catch up with the score, O'Neill didn't need to go anymore, and Kobe Bryant was replaced two minutes early to enter garbage time.
Throughout the game, the Raptors against O'Neal were single defense, fouls can not stand, which led to O'Neal's data terror, 12 of 18 shots, 17 of 36 free throws, got 41 points 17 rebounds 2 assists 2 blocks.
Kobe Bryant made 6 of 18 shots, 4 of 3 3-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, 14 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists.
Those who haven't watched the game see the data, and 80% will think Kobe is too wasteful. In fact, Kobe is the person who is cared for by the Raptors, and has encountered several times.
Glen Rice was really bad. In the face of Carter's single defense, he made 1 of 8 shots, missed 4 of 3 3-pointers, and made 1 of 2 free throws. He scored 3 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist.
The Raptors defeated the Lakers 112 to 90 and made the finals start.
Mike Brin smiled and said: "Although Jerry Yang cut the shark crazy, O'Neal got a record-breaking free throw, resulting in the game intermittently, but his strategy did reduce O'Neal's efficiency, the Raptors won without trying their best. game."
Frazer laughed: "Willn't O'Neal get so many free throws in every game next? The Raptors have two heavy insiders, and playing on the field can help."
Brin analysis said: "Probably Yang Rui thinks that Kevin Cato and Jerome James are not good offense. If they can shoot, they will definitely be reused."
The press conference used to be stars. In this exception, everyone felt that the coach was the protagonist. Proper tactics were the reason why the Raptors easily defeated the Lakers. Yang Rui made several adjustments that had a significant effect. The bench started without losing.
"Jerry, how do you feel now?"
Jerry smiled and said: "I'm very happy. We are one step closer to the championship trophy. Before the start of the season, few people believe that the Raptors can win the championship. Now, few people should believe that the Raptors can't win the championship?"
The reporter asked: "Will you continue to use shark-cutting tactics?"
"Why not?"
The reporter said: "O'Neill feels that the victory of the Raptors is a cowardly move. It's shameless. What do you think?"
Yang Rui thought for a while and replied with a smile: "I think O'Neill's 147-kilogram weight counterweight is an act of the timid. He actually took advantage of his own. It is shameless. Can he lose 30 kilograms before playing again? Of course it doesn't matter if it doesn't decrease, I can give O'Neill some preferential treatment next. As long as he shoots outside the penalty area, I promise not to arrange defense and make him as easy as a free throw. He casually shoots and we only grab rebounds."
Some reporters laughed directly. Many people ridiculed that O'Neal would not shoot, not as straightforward as Yang Rui.
The reporter asked: "Are you confident of winning the next game?"
"Of course we will win. If Vince, Jermaine and others did not play for only 30 minutes, would the Lakers lose so little?"
In the second game, Yang Rui didn't cut the sharks at the start, allowing Cato to start against O'Neal.
Christie stands by at the bottom corner, Carter holds the ball offense and Cato plays a pick-and-roll, looking for a misplaced opportunity. Billups actively runs, catches the ball and shoots, O'Neal takes a side screen, and pulls out to look for opportunities in the periphery.
The Lakers were awkward on the defensive end of the first quarter. O'Neill didn't go out. Carter found a pick-and-roll to get rid of Kobe and directly jumped in the middle and long distance. Even Kobe, blocked by Cato for half a second, couldn't block Carter's dry pull.
If O'Neal changes defense, Carter will hold the ball to attract him to the outside and pass the ball to Cato.
Cato also has an advantage. Kobe Bryant can't be defended from a low position. The difference in weight between the two is like O'Neal playing Miller. Kobe is still half a head. This is not compensated by defensive skills or experience.
The Lakers' offense was not bad, and the two sides scored 27 in the first quarter.
The Lakers couldn't stand the bench the next quarter.
The Raptors five, Hornacek, Christie, McGrady, O'Neal and Miller, can all make three-pointers, and the formation is completely opened. In Miller's mid lane organization, the players run on both sides, only Christie's position is fixed.
Mike Brin saw the goal: "The Raptors played Princeton off the bench, and the ball worked so well. In contrast, the Lakers are O'Neal and Kobe. The role players don't run very much. This is not good."
Except for O'Neal, the players on the court are not bad at passing. They are willing to share the ball and play a tacit understanding.
In this section, Honasek was brave and became the protagonist, hitting three three-pointers and scoring 11 points and 2 assists.
In the second half, Billups started to show his power under the cover of the inside players. He made three three-pointers in a single quarter. O'Neal also received a pass from his teammates and scored many times. Regardless of Green or Hawley, the single defense little O'Neal suffers.
The Raptors inside is still a single defense, and not fouled. The guard blocked the Lakers' long shots and cut off the guard's contact with O'Neal.
O'Neill consumed a lot of physical energy when opening the Trail Blazers, and thrown so many on the court, his physical fitness was not optimal. There are too many free throws, he is afraid of making free throws, and the attack is not as firm as the court.
On the defensive end, O'Neill is not a small consumption, changing to Carter, Hornacek, Billups, unable to stay near the penalty area to guard the rim.
At the end of the quarter, the same situation appeared. O'Neill's efficiency fell, others couldn't stand up and score continuously, the Raptors waved up the score.
120 to 87, the Raptors won 33 points.
Billups made 7 of 12 shots, 5 of 8 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, 23 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals, blasting veteran Hubble.
Carter made 12 of 18 shots, 4 of 6 three-pointers, 7 of 7 free throws, 35 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, and once again blew Glen Rice.
