Chapter 519 Jordan Otherwise!(1/2)
On June 18, 2007, the Charlotte Bobcats Arena, the Bobcats and Lakers Finals G6 will be played at the Bobcats' home court.
Because the Bobcats are just one game away from winning the championship, so there are a group of special guests before this game.
NBA president David Stern and Celtic legendary star Russell have also arrived here at this time, and are going to award championship trophys and FMVP trophys to possible championship teams in this game.
So, when two old men appeared on the big screen on the scene, the Bobcat fans on the scene were sensational.
After feeling the enthusiasm of the Bobcats fans on the scene, David Stern also showed a charming smile on his face.
After all, this year's finals are really popular!
The Bobcats and the Lakers' Finals have surpassed the highest ratings in the NBA Finals in terms of viewership, and the Nets and the Lakers' ratings in 2003 were rated.
In recent years, as the NBA has entered its golden age, the NBA's fan group has been successfully cultivated, and it has grown rapidly in terms of quantity and enthusiasm. Therefore, the NBA has repeatedly set new highs in both the regular season ratings and the playoff ratings.
And it is not the highest rating, but the average rating.
It can be said that the current increase in the attention of the NBA is an overall increase, rather than the siphon effect of a certain team or a certain star.
Even though Chen Xiao is the number one player in the league, although he is the first in the United States, he cannot be unique.
Ray Allen, James, Kobe, Carter, etc. There are many players in the NBA who can compete with Chen Xiao.
It can be said that in the current NBA, every team has a star that is enough to attract local fans, and every place has a powerful enough prince. The entire NBA now seems to be as exciting as the princes are separating and the hundreds of schools of thought.
How can fans not like and look forward to such a big battle?
Let’s talk about this year’s playoffs.
Before the playoffs begin, who would have thought that the Lakers and the Bobcats would eventually gather in the Finals?
Before the playoffs began, David Stern's predictions were the Heat and the Spurs.
In fact, most people predicted the Heat and the Spurs.
The Heat are the number one hottest in the Eastern Conference, and the Nets are the second hottest, and it is the Magic and the Bobcats' turn.
In the West, the first favorite is the Spurs, the second favorite is the Suns, and the third favorite is the Mavericks. It was then the Lakers, Timberwolves and Nuggets and other teams.
Neither team is the biggest favorite in their division, but they both miraculously entered the finals.
This can only be said that the teams in the front areas of the east and west are very close in strength.
This means that in the future, the NBA will be a real "world of great competition" that anyone who enters the Finals can possibly enter, and the NBA will usher in a real peak in the next few seasons.
And this season is the first season to begin the peak of NBA history!
How can this not make David Stern excited?
Just when David Stern was excited alone, on the court, China Bynum and Gasol, two teams, had already started to jump.
The result was somewhat unexpected but not very unexpected, and Bynum successfully lost to Gasol.
Gasol and Bynum's jump balls are really interesting in this series. Every time the Bobcats win the last game, they will lose the next game.
Bynum is really able to float around.
It's really a typical example of giving some sunshine.
According to Xiao Pao, this kid is just a stupid guy and he is unsuccessful. How could a normal person always fall and climb the pit in a pit?
It’s not that children play games, they think it’s fun.
However, although the Bobcats players have complained about Bynum's IQ in this final, it has to be said that in this round of the series between the Bobcats and the Lakers, the Bobcats are really unable to lack Bynum's defense.
After Chen Xiao was tightly restrained by Kobe, the Bobcats' inside defense really needed Bynum to be at the basket, otherwise Randolph would be the only one, whether it was Aldridge or Gotat, who would probably be beaten into a sieve.
Back in the game, after Bynum failed to jump the ball, he looked at him without any frustration. On the contrary, he still shouted in front of Gasol.
If Gasol would still compete with Bynum when the finals just started, then now Gasol has directly blocked this deceased.
If you really want to compete with this stupid person, it will really make people doubt his own IQ.
So, when Bynum wanted to show his toughness at home after he jumped the ball, Gasol had already trotted to the frontcourt.
As a rookie with a high pick, Gasol's athletic ability is excellent.
Otherwise, do you think that if Bynum is floating, Gasol can easily jump the ball and beat him?
If Gasol did not have strong athletic ability, no matter how well Bynum was, he would not be able to win.
Only after Gasol ignored it and after Gasol ran up, Bynum reacted and followed him back to defend.
"This kid remembers eating too much and not beating!"
"No, Zhang said, I don't think he remembers to eat it either."
OK, in the face of Xiao Su's complaints, Teacher Zhang didn't know how to complain for a while.
After all, what Xiao Su said was really good. This kid not only didn’t remember to beat or eat. His memory seemed to be like the memory of a fish, and he always kept making mistakes he had made before on the court.
but!
"Bynum's talent is really good!"
Seeing Bynum let Gasol run first, he even caught up with him cursing from behind, Teacher Zhang also sighed sincerely.
You know, Gasol is also a talented insider.
It can only be said that Bynum does not have a brain that matches his talent.
Even if Bynum only has a normal mind, the Bobcat's future will be invincible.
Gasol wanted to take advantage of the fact that Bynum, a brainless man, to launch a sneak attack while showing off his IQ.
But when he came to the three-point line, he just received Kobe's lob, and Bynum chased him.
Looking at this crazy young man, Gasol gritted his teeth and glanced at Byron Davis, who was chased by Paul this time, and Gasol threw it directly from the middle distance against Bynum's defense at the free throw line.
After Bynum showed his unparalleled athletic talent, Gasol also showed his average but extremely accurate mid-range shooting ability.
Bynum's defense was in place, his hand blocked, and his defensive movements were also done, but he still failed to stop Gasol's tiptoe shot.
With a quick bang, the Lakers scored 2 points, and the away game took the lead.
From Gasol's very decisive shooting, it can be seen that after the first five games, the players on both sides were already very familiar with each other.
There is basically no situation where you don’t understand anything and you will hesitate when you encounter it.
Moreover, Gasol, the second leader of the Lakers, performed really well in this finals.
In this finals, if Chen Xiao and Kobe are the two best performers, then Gasol is the third person behind Chen Xiao and Kobe.
In the first five games, Gasol averaged 19 points and 11 rebounds, with a shooting percentage of up to 62%, and he also averaged 2 blocks and 3 assists per game. It can be said that he performed extremely well on both ends of the offense and defense.
In the past, Gasol gave people the impression that it was European inside, which was a bit soft, but after this finals, I'm afraid no one will say that Gasol is soft in the future.
This guy is really not soft at all.
At the critical moment, the most reliable player around Kobe was Gasol, and others like David West, Odom was not as good as him. As for Byron Davis, that was even more so.
Byron Davis' finals were very strong, and he and Xiaopao had already died together.
However, Xiaopao did not attack this finals, while Byron Davis was simply iron.
On the court, the Bobcats attacked, and Xiao Cannon dribbled the ball and prepared to pass the half slowly.
In this finals, the Bobcats' rhythm was a bit slow.
After all, the Bobcats have two heavy big men Bynum and Randolph.
So, if the rhythm of the game is really raised, the Bobcats will be the one who suffers a lot.
Of course, the Bobcats fight slowly, and the Lakers don’t mean to fight quickly.
Why?
The main reason is that the Bobcats' wing is Odom. If this point is too fast, it is easy to explode if it makes mistakes.
So, the series between the Bobcats and the Lakers is really quite interesting, and the two teams play very restrainedly.
It is precisely because of this restraint and the need for positional warfare that the two teams played particularly fiercely.
However, the pace is slower, but the Lakers often harasse Xiao Cannon's advancement.
Especially Byron Davis, he always likes to use his strong body to lead the defense or press on him.
But this time, what surprised Xiaopao was that Byron Davis did not give him strength at the beginning!
Not only did he not have the leadership and pressing, but even when the cannon was advancing, Byron Davis' body was facing Chen Xiao sideways. This defensive posture was so familiar.
"This is a double team!"
In this game, the Lakers really want to double-team Chen!
Xiao Pao was slightly shocked. His head coach Jordan guessed Phil Jackson and the Lakers' intentions in advance.
As expected, I know that there is no better son than father!
However, after a brief shock, Xiao Pao's two big eyes lit up.
Judging from the Lakers' first defense posture, this team is going to double-team this game.
However, it is necessary to pass it. Even if it is a double-team, it needs to be directly verified.
