No matter which country, basketball experts are a very magical group. Seeing who is in the top spot, but not in the eye, even if the other party plays the star data, you can still find a bunch of problems.

As soon as Yang Rui arrived in the first year of the Raptors, there were many such "experts" looking for the Raptors and Yang Rui. However, in the second year, the Raptors won the record and a group of people were beaten.

Last season, the Raptors were eliminated by the 76ers because of injury problems, and a group of "experts" bluntly said that the Raptors are not good. Even if the players are not injured, they can't beat the tough team with low offense.

Now this group of people has been beaten again. The data shows that this season the Raptors scored very close to the restricted area, ranking seventh in the league. In addition to three points, they are low-level offenses.

It is always normal for someone to say the wrong thing, because the base of "experts" is too large. After watching the ball for a few years, being able to write columns can basically get such a title. Just like China's "beauty", it is a general term.

Before the game, many experts claimed that the Nets could threaten the Raptors. As a result, the half-time ended, the Raptors 72 to 45 lead, almost into garbage time.

In the regular season, the Raptors did not exert their full strength. Players have limited playing time. As long as the big score leads, the starter will go down and rest. Except for Carter and O'Neal, no one in the team played more than 30 minutes per game.

Now the Raptors are no longer retained, Miller rests for a while, and the second quarter continues to play with a substitute to make the Nets head big.

Both Eddie Curry and Todd Mark Lodge are heavy insiders weighing more than 125 kg. The Nets have previously used one of them with a substitute to attack the rim and be able to bully a team without a physical shield center.

Against the Raptors, the two men's weight is a double-edged sword. They have an advantage when attacking. When defending against a pick-and-roll against Tony Parker, the dog is suddenly dead.

Parker's speed and skill are interspersed between people. The endless breakthroughs are really big tonight. The Nets' two meat shield centers can only sigh at him and watch their layup or attract defensive points.

Billups played only 18 minutes, and Parker's performance time was in the second half.

With Kirilenko and Haplin, Jumeirn Jones, a good player, can only be a marginal man with veteran Curry. The Raptors bench defense is not bad, the Nets can't chase the score.

In the end 123 to 89, the Raptors won 34 points in the first game.

Seven of the team scored in double figures, Parker scored the team's highest 26 points and 6 assists, O'Neal played only 24 minutes, with 22 points and 7 rebounds.

Jerome James scored 12 points, 6 rebounds and 3 blocks, made 5 of 6 shots, made 2 of 3 free throws, and staged 4 dunks. He did a good job defending Curry in the second half. "Little Shark" scored 10 points in the whole game and only 4 points in the second half.

At the press conference, Byron Scott did not even have the courage to speak hard, and analyzed the game in a low-key manner, indicating that the next team will strengthen defense.

Yang Rui commented briefly. "Our stars have stronger personal abilities and the Raptors have more points to score, so the Raptors will definitely reach the finals. The most important thing now is for the players to protect themselves. I don't want to see anyone injured again. "

The reporter asked: "What do you think is the gap between the Nets and Raptors?"

"They don't have super scorers, and with this, they can't win."

Yang Rui is not afraid to point this out, because the Nets can't solve it at all, and it is difficult for the super scorer to get the team through the transaction.

In the position battle, Martin was very ineffective in the low position. Kidd made 6 of 16 shots. Kidd still hangs the ball to him again and again. It is not that Kidd has no brains, but it may be less efficient to pass to other people.

In the second game, there was no suspense in the game.

The Raptors still dealt with the Nets by enclosing the penalty area, slowly grinding their positions, and suppressing their opponents with a higher scoring efficiency.

The Nets went to Curry, with poor pick-and-roll resistance. Without Curry, O'Neal or Jerome rushed to Van Horn and scored directly to the basket.

105 to 88, the Raptors lead 2 to 0.

At this time, the Nets management is not thinking about how to beat the Raptors to the final, but how to trade Van Horn in the summer.

Van Horn played 33 minutes, 2 of 12 shots, 4 of 3 three-pointers, no free throws, 5 points, 8 rebounds and 1 assist. As a power forward, he is soft and helpless.

Kidd made 7 of 18 shots, 2 of 7 3-pointers, and 7 of 8 free throws. He had a triple-double of 23 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, but his shooting percentage was only 38.9%.

Kidd hates Billups this type of point guard, because he is tall and powerful, he can’t eat hard, he can only rely on technology. If you can't pass your opponent, Kidd's hit rate can't be high.

Billups always runs on cover, catches the ball quickly, Kidd is not as fast as the small guard, and is also uncomfortable on the defensive end.

This time Billups also scored 15 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists. The Raptors' "role player" will soon be the "core player" of the Nets. All other positions are dominated by the Raptors. The end can be imagined.

The Nets returned to home, still unable to get the Raptors, especially in the second quarter lineup is too big, sent the bench Nets can not stand. Scott can only increase the starting time of the starters. In the last round of the series, Van Horn did well with the bench. Now, Kirillian is defending too badly, and each performance is poor.

The Raptors swept the Nets 4-0, taking the lead in the finals.

At the press conference, the Nets coaches and players talked about the defeat, but they were all convinced, and they lost their temper.

In an interview with Yang Rui, he casually said a few words without issuing a championship declaration. As he left the Raptors closer and closer, he cherished every game.

Four days later in the Western Conference finals, the Lakers advanced 4-2.

In the first four games, the two sides played very anxiously, and there were two key goals in the final game. Only one point was won in the end. Without Robert Horry’s super lore in the fourth game, the King would have a 3-1 lead and everything would be different.

Whether the lore ball is thrown is definitely a double battle. Considering the problem of gas field conversion, the Lakers may lose a season.

The Lakers, who escaped from the dead, returned to their home court in Game 5 and scored 73 points in the "OK Group" to score the match point.

In the sixth game, O'Neal and Kobe scored 65 points together again, and led the teammates. The team's five people scored doubles. 112 to 100 eliminated the king.

The Lakers reached the finals for three consecutive years, proving the strength of the strength, and there is no such controversy as Yang Rui's previous life because of too many free throws.

However, after watching the Western Conference finals, the Raptors are confident to win the championship. Yang Rui analyzed the Lakers lineup. When the opponent's weaknesses mentioned the same problem as the Nets, that is the weight of the inside.

O'Neal is head-to-head invincible, one-on-one unstoppable, but he is so heavy that he can't have as much physical energy as a tall and thin inside. He was not active enough to prevent pick-and-rolls. The King used this to constantly use cover and running positions to walk through the back door to win the Lakers two games.

The King's tactics did not lose, but lost in personal abilities. Divac was abused by O'Neal on the court, and three offenses left. The King's small forward position, whether it is Stojakovic or substitute Turkgro, is also very general, and the wing empty cut is not strong enough.

The Raptors players have a stronger impact, can play fast breaks and can reach positions. With the same tactical system, the Lakers can prevent the Kings, and may not be able to prevent the Raptors.

The Lakers received two days of rest, players adjusted their status, and the first two games of the finals will be held in Toronto.
