Bulls center Oden is out for the season, Lakers center Bynum is also absent, and neither team is the strongest team to play.The Lakers bench swingman Ariza is also injured, and he has been in average form since his return to the playoffs, averaging 21 points and 14 rebounds in 56 minutes per game.Considering that this is just a fringe person and rarely plays, it doesn't have much impact.Discussing the finals online, there are many people who are optimistic about the Lakers before the end of the Eastern Conference finals, and after the Eastern Conference finals, they are optimistic about the Bulls.There is a fan vote on the official website of the NBA, and the number of people who are optimistic about the Bulls winning the championship has reached 88, and only 7 are optimistic about the Lakers winning the championship, and the other choices do not matter.The ESN group of experts predicts the outcome of the game, and they are all optimistic about the Bulls, and only one is optimistic about the Lakers, on the grounds that the Lakers have an advantage on the inside, and Gasol and Odom have strong ability to respond and can open up the offensive space.On June 6, the finals began, and the first game broke the ratings record, which was the highest since Jordan retired.The media are promoting Wang Jun and Kobe's soaring point battle, the peak showdown.After studying the characteristics of the Lakers' roster, Skals changed the lineup again.Chandler on the inside, David Lee partnered, Lewis played small forward, Wang Jun and Calderon partnered on the periphery.As soon as the Bulls came up, the Lakers were blinded, Wang Jun got rid of Kobe Bryant's ball-holding offense by blocking and dismantling on the periphery, and played Gasol and Odom in a misplaced position, Kobe Bryant chased the defense and passed David Lee, and the opportunity in the middle was good, and David Lee had no chance to attract the defense to Lewis on the right side of the heads-up.In addition to Wang Jun's data being better than Kobe, the Bulls also have an obvious positional advantage, that is, Lewis against Radmanovic.The Cypriot star went skiing during the weekend and suffered a dislocated right shoulder injury, and he rested for six weeks.The Lakers didn't let him lose his job, and issued the largest $500,000 fine in the club's history, so he got the nickname "Skier."
Radmanovic averaged 8 points and 38 rebounds per game in the playoffs, and his main task was to wait for an opportunity to shoot a three-pointer in the bottom corner.If he plays against Hill or Barnes, he doesn't suffer in terms of data and strength, and he will have big trouble against Lewis.In the SuperSonics team that year, Radmanovic played as a substitute for Lewis, and the two had been teammates for five years, practiced together, and had a good personal relationship.As a result of getting to know each other, Lewis played his younger brother as if he were playing, and Radmanovic imitated him in his style of play, and he taught him some techniques.After joining the Lakers, Radmanovich's evaluation changed from a small forward who was not inferior to Stojakovic to a "CBA teammate", and his confidence was seriously affected, let alone Lewis's opponent.When everyone in the Lakers was staring at Wang Jun, Wang Jun just kept running on the perimeter and pulling the defense, and shot when he caught the ball.Lewis took on the offensive duty with the ball and scored 12 points in the first quarter.Wang Jun only made three shots and made two three-pointers.His energy is focused on the defensive end, entangled Kobe Bryant on the periphery, and used Tony Allen's defensive methods, constantly close to him, disrupting the opponent's rhythm.Tony Allen is not a star, and if he moves big, he may be blown for a foul, Wang Jun and Kobe Bryant make small movements, elbows and legs, and the referee doesn't care.Because Wang Jun's elbows and knees are harder, it is still Kobe Bryant who is at the disadvantage.Kobe Bryant has maliciously brought down many people by relying on black elbows, which does not mean that he is the strongest in this regard.Many of his elbows were blown for malicious fouls, deliberately hurting people, and he really elbowed Wang Jun in concealment, no matter how hard he tried.Kobe Bryant broke through with the ball, and the Bulls immediately wrapped it up, let others shoot, and did not let Kobe Bryant enter the basket, forcing him to shoot from mid-to-long range.This defensive method is exactly how the 2004 Nets restrained Kobe, and it has been tried and tested, because Kobe's three-point shooting is far less reliable than that of low-post mid-range shots.Regardless of whether the others are empty or not, the Bulls are on board with Kobe.Even if the Lakers win, Kobe Bryant doesn't want to have good statistics.If you want to trap Wang Jun, you have to defend the inside and the outside, otherwise he will always have a way to get a heads-up opportunity.If you go out slowly, you may shoot directly.Calderon and Wang Junchao have a tacit understanding, Wang Jun can score so many points this season, thanks to his small short pass, the ball will be delivered as soon as he runs out of the position after covering.Fisher, who defended Calderon, sandwiched twice, Wang Jun took advantage of the situation to divide the ball, and Calderon brushed two three-pointers all hollow.He's good at that, and he's shooting better than Hinrich.Calderon's defense was a weakness when he played the Celtics, and his weakness was weakened when he played the Lakers.Fisher is not responsible for attacking with the ball, and occasionally breaks through by his body, his speed is average, and most of the time he waits for opportunities on the periphery.His characteristics are similar to those of Calderón, except that he doesn't have as many assists.The Bulls won the first game 105-88 easily.Lewis had a game-high 28 points, eight rebounds and two assists, shooting 11-of-23, 2-of-5 three-pointers and 4-of-4 free throws.Wang Jun shot 9-of-14, 4-of-6 from three-point range and 3-of-3 from the free-throw line to finish with 25 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists.Bryant was trapped in the bag, shooting 9-of-26, 0-of-3 from three-point range, and 6-of-6 from the free-throw line, scoring only 24 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists while shooting 346.In the second game, the Bulls defeated the Lakers 113-100 to make the overall score 2-0.Wang Jun increased his breakthroughs in the counterattack this time, shooting 12 of 20, 4 of 10 three-pointers, and 8 of 8 free throws, scoring 36 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists.Bryant played a little better, shooting 11-of-23, 1-of-3 from three-point range, and 7-of-7 from the free-throw line, finishing with 30 points, 4 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 steals.Lewis still had 24 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, and Radmanovic and Walton off the bench didn't do well on the defensive end.If Odom defends it, David Lee will be able to misplace and eat hard.Against the Celtics, David Lee struggled to defend the Big Three, and the pressure on the Lakers also plummeted.He is responsible for the inside top man, protecting the rebounding ball, wrapping Kobe, and handing over the perimeter rotation to his teammates, and his strength is not inferior to Gasol and Odom.After the two wars, media analysis of the Lakers exposed a bunch of problems.Players are not active in defense and do not attack fluently; Relying too much on Kobe Bryant's single-man scoring ability, and not having a strong sense of teamwork; The bench players are not playing well, the mental quality is not up to par, and so on.The Celtics lineup restrained the Bulls to a certain extent, and the Bulls just restrained the Lakers, and the advantage of Lewis's position alone was enough for them.In the third game, the home court of Los Angeles, the Lakers played very impatiently, and the overall shooting percentage was not high.Gasol was out of order this game, and was defended by Chandler with only 9 points and 12 rebounds.Gasol rarely attacks in the low post, and is prone to a scoring drought once he doesn't feel like a shot.Kobe Bryant made more shots, with 36 points, 7 rebounds and 1 assist, but only he and Odom scored double-doubles on the team, which was not useful.Bulls Lewis had 25 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, and shot 5 of 7 from three-point range, completely blowing up Radmanovic, who only scored 3 points, and Walton off the bench didn't score a point.Wang Jun played the whole game, did not shoot much, and the periphery played a deterrent role, cutting a triple-double of 28 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists and 2 steals, leading the team to win the match point 95-91.In the fourth game, the Lakers players have lost hope, and Kobe Bryant is out of luck.He shot just 6-of-19, 0-of-2 from three-point range and 5-of-6 from the free-throw line for 17 points, 4 rebounds and 10 assists.All five Lakers scored in double figures, and none scored 20.On the Bulls' side, Wang Jun went down to earth again, shooting 15 of 28, 8 of 16 three-point shots, 7 of 8 free throws, and scored 45 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists.He didn't shoot too many times, he was very accurate, and the Lakers' defense collapsed directly.113-95, after 2004, the Lakers were swept in the Finals again.s:
