Legend of Tomorrow

After the game, a group of Celtic fans expressed their dissatisfaction. The veteran was trying to win the championship because he had missed one game, but was blackballed by the referee.

Whose game is not watching one less game? How much more of this stuff can I watch?

In fact, Green Army fans don't have to worry at all. These veterans in their early 30s have been able to beat young people crying for their parents in recent years. In Guo Xu's previous life, if they hadn't been so unlucky, with Garnett injured in 2009 and Perkins injured in 2010, they might have completed three consecutive championships.

It has become much more difficult for the Green Army to win the championship in this life. Some strong teams have become terrifying in order to deal with the Suns lineup, and the Suns with a healthy core are the most terrifying.

On June 8, the NBA Finals started in Houston, with schedule 232. The Rockets have home court advantage.

In the first game, the Rockets showed their determination to win. They defeated the Cavaliers 105-88 by 17 points. Yao made 12 of 19 shots, 1 of 2 three-pointers, and 8 of 8 free throws. He scored 33 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 blocks. .

How easy would it be for Yao, who has entered his prime, to pick Biedlins on his roster? The Cavaliers don't double-team in the low post to help defend. Yao Ming plays casually. Once he is double-teamed, his teammates can shoot three-pointers.

Without a direct shot, Billups can also hold the ball and beat Delonte West alone, or play a pick-and-roll with Scola in the middle. There are many options.

Billups is recognized as the second in charge of the Rockets, and he has performed very well this season.

On the surface, he averaged 18.6 points, 3.3 rebounds and 6 assists per game in the playoffs, shooting 43.5% from the field, 40% from the three-point range, and 85.6% from the free throw line. His statistics were average. Looking at the high-end data again, this guy's true shooting percentage is 61.2%, which is higher than Yao Mingdu.

Yao Ming is not a weak point on the defensive end. His task is to defend the penalty area. Once Biedrins and Gooden are pulled out, he will let them shoot. He only moves around the penalty area to help his teammates double-team James who breaks through and protect the backcourt rebounds. ball.

With a center as big as Yao Ming under the basket, it would be difficult for James to rush in. Similar to Guo Xu's previous life when the Heat played the Mavericks, the zone defense forced James to shoot outside the penalty area, and it was easy to get blocked when he rushed in.

The Green Army can't guard James, because Garnett has to guard Boozer and the pick-and-roll. Perkins is only 208cm tall. Even with an excellent wingspan, he is not on the same level as Yao Ming's intimidation. Yao Ming doesn't have to jump at all to defend the penalty area. He just needs to stand and raise his arms.

Everyone knows that Yao Ming's weakness is his slow speed, inability to defend, and his tendency to get passed by defenders and get fouled. But like O'Neal, he stands in the penalty area, which makes it difficult for teams that like to attack the basket hard.

Prevent low position,

The most important thing is the strength of the lower body. Looking at Yao Ming's thick legs, you can tell that he is top-notch in defending the penalty area.

When the Jazz have Okur as a partner, Yao Ming will have a headache if Boozer pulls him out to shoot, but the Cavaliers do not have an evacuation center like Okur. The first person to defend Yao Ming is Biedrins, who has no shooting range. Can be shorted.

Gooden and Boozer played together, and Yao Ming didn't feel uncomfortable. Gooden shot with a 40% shooting rate from the mid-range shot. He could kill no one with just a slight interference. Gu Deng, who is 208cm tall, had a big problem when he was guarding Yao Ming. Yao Ming leaned against him twice and turned around and shot in the low post.

Yao Ming turned around and shot a fadeaway jumper. Players less than 210cm tall were unable to interfere, and the Cavaliers were unable to defend alone.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Yao Ming was very good before he gained weight. In the 2005 playoffs, he shot 57.1% from close range two-pointers, 46.7% in the regular season, and over 45% from mid-range. Turning around and shooting is his special skill, and his shooting percentage is more stable than Duncan's rebound shooting.

The situation in the second game was almost exactly the same as that in the first game. The Rockets' defensive tactics were to strictly guard the penalty area. Prince and Sefolosha took turns to guard James alone on the perimeter, limiting James' breakthrough and allowing others in the Cavaliers to take action.

During the offense, Yao Ming and Scola take turns to be the inside axis. One person pulls out to cover the defender, combining inside and outside. The swingman does not bear the task of holding the ball and attacking, but only catches and shoots.

In the end, the Rockets won by 12 points and kept the situation firmly under control because their offense was more efficient.

James' playoff statistics are very good, averaging 28 points, 8 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game, but his style of play is still the same. He has to hold the ball and rush into the penalty area. Even when opponents double-team him, he also chooses to hit hard, and he is not sure about his long-range shot.

James shot 28.9% from long-range two-pointers, 26% from mid-range, and only 40% from close range. He was only efficient when entering the basket, with a true shooting percentage of 55%.

The Cavaliers' opponents in the first two rounds had average defense in the penalty area, but James performed very well. Against the Celtics, his efficiency began to decline. Against the Rockets, James' shooting percentage dropped to 40.4% in two games, which was almost impossible to watch.

Back at home, the Cavaliers' offensive problem has not been solved. Rockets players blocked the penalty area. It would be difficult for James to get a shot unless he takes shots from mid-to-long distance.

The Cavaliers could not reach the finals without the efforts of the whole team. After the mid-term trade, they added more offensive points. Mike Brown, known as the puppet coach, is good at arranging a defensive system. However, most of the online opinions are that James has a strong leadership temperament, and many fans believe this more.

How strong can COSCO's leadership be if its core shooting percentage is less than 30%? Moreover, this leader has not practiced his back-up play well. Everyone knows how he plays, just guard against the crab step in front of him.

In the third game, the home whistle of the Cavaliers was very obvious, and the referee did not blow the defensive action. West, Gibson, and Szczerbiak from the outside shot a lot of three-pointers, and the Cavaliers regained the game at home.

On the Rockets' side, Billups and Prince both made 3 of 12 shots, and were in a sluggish state. Only Yao Ming performed stably, making 8 of 14 shots, 5 of 6 free throws, and scored 21 points, 8 rebounds, and 2 assists.

The Cavaliers' good times did not last long. Billups regained his feeling in the next game, making 5 of 10 shots, 2 of 2 three-pointers, 7 of 8 free throws, and scored 19 points and 7 assists. Not only can he score, but he also organizes the offense in an orderly manner.

Scola and Yao Ming both scored 20+, and the Rockets defeated the Cavaliers 108-85, leading the team 3-1 in total.

The fifth game was still at the home court of the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers players, who were burdened with the mentality of wanting to win and fearing to lose, shot very low and lost 90 to 103. As a result, they watched the Rockets players win the championship trophy at their home court with a total score of 1 to 4. .

Cavaliers fans are depressed. They have won one game in the three finals. Each time, the visiting team celebrates the victory with the cup in Cleveland. This is really exciting. The visiting team is blessed.

James played 45 minutes in the final game, making 8 of 20 shots, 2 of 8 three-pointers, 7 of 11 free throws, and scored 25 points, 7 rebounds, and 7 assists.

Yao Ming played like crazy on the Rockets' side. He played 41 minutes and made 14 of 21 shots and 12 of 14 free throws. He scored a career-high 40 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists in his playoff career, and shot 66.7% from the field.

His teammates intended to help Yao Ming win the FMVP and passed the ball to him again and again. Yao Ming did not disappoint everyone and his offense remained efficient.

The Cavaliers feel the pain of the Spurs. Their imaginary enemy in the finals is the Suns. They have strengthened the lineup for the Suns, strengthened the mobility of the inside, played small ball tactics, double-back tactics, etc. At the end of the game, they found that the Suns were eliminated, and the highly mobile inside man was abused by Yao Ming.

Yao Ming's data is not eye-catching compared with other stars in the finals. He averaged 49.6% field goal percentage and scored 25.7 points, 10.3 rebounds, 2 assists and 1.3 blocks per game. However, this data is enough for him to win the FMVP.

Chinese fans felt like celebrating the New Year in advance that day. Guo Xu also called Yao Ming to express his congratulations. He won two MVPs this year and will be able to evaluate his historical status in the NBA in the future. At least there won't be any crazy people suggesting that Ben Wallace and Marcus Camby are better than Yao Ming.

After all, with Tracy McGrady assisting the Pistons, Wallace had no statistics and did not make the playoffs. Camby, who partnered with the Golden Guns, was only selected to the All-Defensive Team...
