Chapter 82 The End of 04
O'Neal is still playing for the Heat. As soon as he got the ball, Ye Heping forced him up.

With Divac and Kobe double-teaming, O'Neal gave up directly.

After passing the ball, Wade, who was open, hesitated and chose to shoot.

boom!
Not in.

O'Neill shook his head helplessly, he couldn't make a shot without defense, and he was also speechless.

Ye Heping scored the rebound and Atkins advanced.

In the frontcourt, Kobe still contained two people, and Divac responded from the free throw line.

O'Neal defended this time. He is lazy, but he can see the situation clearly, and he doesn't want to lose to Kobe.

However, in this way, the Heat's inside line will be empty, and the deterrence of the 203 cm Harbin team and O'Neal is not the same.

Atkins hit the inside and scored easily.

39: 33.

On the Heat's side, O'Neal held back opportunities, but the open Wade still didn't make the shot.

Facts have proved that O'Neill and Wade do not match, at least not yet found a good way.

Ye Heping, who was reborn in later generations, knows very well that even if the Heat won the championship in 06, there was not much chemical reaction between the two.

After watching the finals of that year, more than ten years later, my first impression is that Wade is so good, and his breakthrough is too invincible.

The second impression is that the "Kidney Fighter" Mourning is too tough and too iron-blooded. At the last moment, he continued to be iron-blooded and chasing big hats, not like a veteran who is about to retire.

As for what O'Neal did in the finals, I have no impression at all.

The cooperation between Wade and O'Neal is not remembered even once.

As an aside, the Heat really took the time to win the championship that year.

In the previous two years, the Pistons and Spurs relied on defense to win the championship. In 05, the Spurs and the Pistons fought 7 games. The games were as ugly as constipation, and the ratings dropped sharply.

This made Stern determined to implement no-handcheck. The 05-06 season was the most important year. The implementation of no-handcheck made the statistics of NBA guards skyrocket, including Kobe, Arenas, Wade...

Even in the finals, Stern is still implanting this rule, and casual hands are not allowed in defense, which is why Wade can get so many body whistles.

To be honest, after watching the finals for so many years, I have never seen more frequent whistles than in 06, not even in the small ball era.

At halftime, 47:38, the Lakers have led by 9 points.

The second half begins.

O'Neal rested off the court, and Wade led the team alone.

In this quarter, Wade is omnipotent and scored crazy.

However, with the help of his teammates, Kobe broke the double-team and scored crazily.

77: 68.

At the end of the three quarters, the Lakers still lead by 9 points.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, O'Neal led the team alone, and the two sides were still fighting. In the last 3 minutes, the point difference was still 9 points, 92:83.

At this time, Fan Shuai sent Wade and O'Neal together.

All of a sudden, the Heat's offensive momentum went out.

O'Neal and Wade are not 1+1=2, but completely less than 2.

O'Neal affected Wade's breakthrough, and Wade could not take advantage of O'Neal's containment.

In the end, 104:91, the Lakers beat the Heat and won the high-profile Christmas game.

Los Angeles fans into the carnival, they can finally accept the fact that the loss of the Sharks.

Because this victory has shown that Kobe is more valuable than O'Neal.

What's more, Kobe is only 26 years old and O'Neal is 32 years old.O'Neal is already on the decline, and Kobe has just entered his peak period.

Old Buss chose Kobe because of the 6-year age difference, which is absolutely wise.

本场比赛，科比32分3篮板6助攻，奥多姆24分11篮板4助攻，库克13分5篮板，米姆11分6篮板
Substitute Atkins had 17 points and 7 assists, and he performed very well.

叶和平4分5篮板3助攻3抢断5盖帽。

There is no way to score less. First, Ye Heping puts more energy on the defensive end. Second, the starting lineup has strong firepower. Ye Heping does not need to score at all. It is enough to rely on the CIC to open up space.

In fact, Ye Heping only took 3 shots tonight, and made 3 of 2 shots, which is a very high hit rate.

But with such a piece of data, no fans ignored Ye Heping's role.

He double-teamed O'Neal, blocked Wade, defended the pick-and-roll tonight... and did all the dirty and tiring work again.

Before the end of the game, O'Neal and Wade stared at Ye Heping fiercely. They were really annoyed by him, and they never wanted to meet him again for the rest of their lives.

No one doesn't like this kind of person as a teammate.But to be an opponent is simply to hate.

However, O'Neill's emotional intelligence is very high. Before leaving the field, he hugged Ye Heping and cheered.

Of course, still didn't talk to Kobe.

As for Wade, he also hugged Ye Heping and promised to beat Ye Heping next time.

This guy has a big heart, but he's also unyielding.

At the press conference after the game, Kobe looked like a winner, happy like a 198cm three-year-old who just got the candied haws bought by his mother.

"I know, I will win, I already knew!"

And O'Neal seemed indifferent, and said with a smile: "Odom is great, Ye is great, Atkins is great, Butler is great..."

He praised almost everyone on the Lakers, even the cleaners at Staples, but he didn't mention Kobe.

After the Christmas game, Tang Shuai gave all players two days off.

Ye Heping and Tao Jia stayed in their apartment, and their lives were warm.

But Kobe called and invited the two to his house for the holidays.

Christmas is a festival for family reunion, which is equivalent to the Chinese Spring Festival.

But Kobe didn't listen to his parents back then and insisted on marrying Vanessa, which led to a falling out with his parents, and naturally he couldn't reunite.

Ye Heping naturally agreed, and stayed with Kobe for two days, playing games and video games, and even taught Kobe and Vanessa the quintessence of China - mahjong.

Two pairs of men and women, a total of four people, happened to be one table.

……

12 month 28 day.

The Lakers played the Raptors, the last game in 04.

Ye Heping is still starting, and Atkins is on the bench. Both performances are on the rise.

叶和平出战32分钟，创造本赛季出场时间记录，拿下16分9篮板4助攻3抢断2盖帽，差一点打出两双数据。

Atkins scored 18 points and 5 assists.

The Lakers beat the Raptors 117:99 and clocked out in three quarters.

At the same time, the Lakers have won 6 consecutive victories, which perfectly ended the 04 journey.

December's Player of the Month:
东部：韦德23分5.9篮板7.7助攻1.5抢断，带领热火13胜2负，但是16.7%的三分球命中率实在辣眼睛。

西部：诺维斯基27.2分9篮板2.4助攻1.1抢断1.6盖帽，小牛队9胜4负。

Naturally, Ye Heping missed the competition for the best rookie.

In 26 games so far, the Lakers have 21 wins and 5 losses.

Among them, Ye Heping played 22 games, with 20 wins and 2 losses.

In other words, in the games that Ye Heping did not play, the Lakers had 1 win and 3 losses.

But in most media, Ye Heping is still well received, and is considered to be the brightest performance of Kupchak's general manager career.

年薪20万美元，场均打28分钟左右，拿下9.4分5.8篮板1.7助攻1.7抢断3盖帽。

What's more, Ye Heping is only 18 years old and has unlimited potential.

This is no longer a question of whether it is worth it or not, but that gold was taken out of the big wave, which made the general managers of other teams jealous.

And Kupchak is also regretting why he didn't sign with Ye Heping for a few more years.

He completely forgot that he didn't want Ye Heping at first, and it was Tang Shuai's lies that helped him make up his mind.
