Legend of Tomorrow

Before the start of this year’s NBA Finals, the major media were surprisingly quiet. They didn’t know how to speculate in this unfinished Finals.

ESPN will find a team of experts in the past year to analyze the lineup of the two teams and predict the outcome of the match. This year the event is gone. Everyone knows that the Lakers will win the championship, how can it be predicted by experts?

On the Internet, the media did not launch related votes, everyone will vote for the Lakers. How could a team that won 56 games in the regular season beat a team that won?

Only two of the 76ers had experience in the finals. Millsap and Gallinari, who were not the core of the team when they reached the finals before, were only role players.

The only suspense of the game is whether the Lakers can maintain the victory record, and the media is not good to use this as a gimmick to promote. This will only make the fans feel that the strength gap between the two sides is too big, too lazy to watch the game, just pay attention to the news after the game.

On June 1, the two sides started their first battle at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The result was as expected, the Lakers took the lead in the opening, and easily beat the 76ers.

The Lakers’ formation is very targeted, starting with Guo Xu, Booker, Durant, Tucker, Horford.

Adams came off the bench, because the 76ers inside players rarely attacked the basket, like to pull out to coordinate the offensive to help the defender break through, rely on the combination of inside and outside to win.

Adams’ regular season matchup against Jokic is more uncomfortable. Jokic can shoot with a cut, and he has to send a highly mobile defense against him. Horford is the most suitable, Jokic is a technical player, lack of explosive force, low-level attack Horford can withstand.

Horford, Tucker’s pick-and-roll ability is much stronger than that of Adams. Kemba Walker, Will Barton and Russell are not so easy to find a cover to break through.

On the offensive end, all five Lakers starters can shoot three-pointers, and the formation is very open. The 76ers will appear to be unreliable no matter who includes Guo Xu. If they were not included, Guo Xu could single Walker in both positional battles and counterattacks.

Walker is 185cm tall and weighs 83kg. He is a strong attacker and a weak player. His physical fitness is very good, fast, and can shoot suddenly. On the defensive end, he always runs tirelessly, full of fighting spirit.

Walker’s defensive ability in the point guard is moderately high, and he played well against Lillard, Wall, and Bradso. But his defense against Guo Xu is not enough. Guo Xu is stronger and he shoots more accurately. There are many unreasonable goals in the heads-up.

Walker’s personal effect is poor, Guo Xu can break him to force a breakthrough, obviously the two weights are about the same, but Guo Xu’s strength is clearly superior. He would drive the ball towards Walker, and the elbow opened or the dribble changed direction behind him. Walker could not prevent him from breaking through a little back.

If Walker is far away from Guo Xu and the defense is the main breakthrough, Guo Xu dribbles under the crotch outside the three-point line and then retreats to meet the person to make a three-pointer.

These technical walkers will also have little power against Guo Xu, or no power at all.

His concealed elbow can’t open Guo Xu. Guo Xu is not afraid of pain and will maintain his center of gravity, and he will become a habit after practicing fighting. If Walker stepped up his elbow, Guo Xu’s staggering referee would whistle.

The first person in the league can elbow Walker as an ordinary star. Don’t underestimate this kind of star whistle, use small moves in the breakthrough, the accumulation is less, the star field may have 5-10 points.

It’s much harder for a person without a whistle to break. Kobe’s hit rate is getting lower and lower. Age growth is only one aspect. On the other hand, the league does not hold him. There is a huge gap between Kobe Bryant with the elbow and Kobe with the elbow foul.

Walker can also shoot Guo Xu, the two men are about the same height, as long as they grasp the rhythm, it is difficult to block each other. But Walker’s hit rate is far worse, belonging to the poor version of Guo Xu.

The two people were head-to-head against each other, and it was definitely 76 people who lost money. Walker’s organizational ability is not as good as Guo Xu, he is a scoring-based point guard with a general sense of passing, similar to Lillard.

Guo Xu used two ways of heads-up from the middle and heads-up from the side to attract the ball and score the ball. The 76ers did not defend well.

Last season Carter and Guo Xu were in charge of catching shots on both sides and could sweep the Nets. Now switching to Durant has no weaknesses. His open shots are more accurate. Someone can defend him to play singles. His shooting percentage in the playoffs has remained steady at around 50%.

The 76ers guarded against two stars, and it is bound to be empty of role players. Tucker and Booker have high shooting percentages.

Hofford is characterized by stable performance, each stat is similar, and the play is reasonable. He can make a combination of points and shots, and looks like a big small forward.

Of course, the outsiders say that the Lakers are invincible in these two seasons because Horford is too huge to overestimate him. His main attack ability is lacking, there is no trick, so he will certainly not be able to take the lead.

In the first game, the Lakers scored 135 to 104 and scored 31 points. Guo Xu scored a large double-double with 30 points and 21 assists.

Guo Xu didn’t shoot a lot. His shooting percentage exceeded 70%. He made 10 free throws and made all the hits with amazing efficiency. He broke through and sent assists again and again, and the Lakers scored in double figures with six people.

In the second game, the 76ers and the Lakers fight to attack, the defensive end is marked by people, intends to rely on offensive efficiency to win, this is a dream.

After three quarters, the 76ers regretted it. Guo Xu scored 61 points and 4 assists and made 10 three-pointers. The 76ers also failed to limit the Lakers’ overall offense. The two players took turns to ensure the efficiency of the offense. The Lakers led by 25 points.

No. 1 Walker and Russell were alternately abused by Guo Xu. The “Young Master” did not consider letting Spanish veteran Rodriguez play.

In the last quarter, Guo Xu played more than 4 minutes, scored 70 points and 5 assists for the next break, and recorded the individual score of the NBA Finals in the bag. The Lakers beat the 76ers 131 to 107, leading the total score 2-0.

No one said that Guo Xu brushed the data after the game. At that time, Elgin Baylor did not rest when he created a single scoring record, and the Lakers never won a championship under his leadership.

The 76ers returned to the home court can not make up for the gap between the strength of the two sides. In the regular season, they had one game with the Lakers, and they played very well. Now they can’t find that state.

It was just a regular season, young players have no pressure to dare to play, without having to consider the consequences of losing. Now it is the finals, they all bear the mentality of wanting to win and losing.

The mentality of young players is easy to go wrong, and can not play their normal strength. They also did not know how to adjust, including Jokic were all affected.

They knew something about watching the news online ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ Once the 76ers were swept, they would be put into history with the Lakers. 100 years later, someone will say, “The Lakers swept the 76ers to win the championship in 2017.”

Thinking like this, it seems that it is not a good thing to reach the finals. As Kobe said, the runner-up is the biggest loser.

Guo Xu will not be polite with the 76ers. He played the finals as easily as usual. He exerted his skills to the fullest without any psychological pressure. He won the championship too many times, just one more honor, what’s so nervous about?

Durant did his best, he waited too long for the finals. He entered the league in 2007. This is the 10th season of his career. It is time to win a championship after ten years of hard work.

Two superstars led the team to continue to hang down a team of several ordinary stars, the Lakers won 52 points in the third game.

In the fourth game, the Sixers felt desperate. The shooting percentage was not high, and they could not pose any threat to the Lakers. The defeat was swept by 43 points.

The game where lost 24 points is the smallest difference between the two sides, and the strength is too great …
