Five players in the net team scored in double digits.◇↓

Wang Jun made 5 of 15 shots, but his shooting percentage was not high, including 4 of 10 three-pointers, scoring 14 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 assists. He scored 14 points with 15 shots, which was reasonable when there were no free throws.

Kitels made 4 three-pointers, Kidd made 3 three-pointers, Rodney, Jefferson and Rucios each made one.

In order to defend Martin's empty cut, the Lakers' formation was never completely wider and went out to defend three-pointers. Kidd took advantage of the situation and frequently created easy shooting opportunities.

Malone cannot fight, the direct beneficiary is Martin.

He scored 17 points and 8 rebounds in this game and dunked 4 times. His role on the defensive end is also obvious. He did a good job in both single defense, pick-and-roll, and assisted blocks, which kept Lakers players outside the penalty area most of the time.

Medvedek became the Lakers' biggest weakness, with soft offense and poor defense. He could only wait for opportunities in the middle, scored 6 points, and was all easy to jump shot in the middle.

The "Zen Master" is hard to cook without rice, and no one can use the Lakers No. 4 position.

Cook's defense was even worse, Walton was a guest appearance, and could not withstand Martin's impact. It was so miserable to pin his hopes on the two rookies.

On the Lakers side, Kobe made 6 of 13 shots, 0 of 4 three-pointers, 6 of 6 free throws, scored 18 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists, and his shooting percentage soared, but unfortunately his opponent was even more powerful.

O'Neal is still the Lakers' best data, with 4 of 11 free throws, 8 of 15 shots, scoring 20 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists.

O'Neal's repeated misses against pick-and-roll is one of the main reasons for their failure.

After the game, all sports media and basketball experts began to do some calculations. It was not an accident that the Nets won the game, and their offensive efficiency was higher than that of the Lakers in each game.

The Nets' three-point shooting accounts for a large proportion. High shooting percentage is the key. The Lakers' offense is mostly within the three-point line.

Putting aside O'Neal's free throws and shooting percentage, if he shoots 30 times in a game, 60% shooting percentage can score 36 points.

The Nets' three-point shooting percentage is 40%, and they scored 30 shots to O'Neal's peak performance. Opening the outside can also create an opportunity for empty cuts for the inside.

With O'Neal only scored 20 points, he couldn't shoot outside, and how could he win against the Nets, which had an overall 40% three-point shooting percentage?

Although I lost this game, it was actually better, Kobe's shots were even more deadly.

If a team has a player with a two-point shooting percentage of 35% and a three-point shooting percentage of 25% accounts for one-third of the team's shooting percentage, teammates can only fill this big hole if they have to hit the scoring percentage.

Basketball is a team sport. This will never change, and there are stars.

Before Jordan partnered with Pippen and Grant, he was still eliminated every year in the playoffs. Chamberlain was invincible in data earlier, but Russell won the most championships.

From the moment Malone was reimbursed, the Lakers were destined to miss the championship. He would not be Martin's opponent to give Medvedon to stimulants.

Wang Jun and Kittles have a far better three-point firepower than the Lakers' outside, and their off-ball play makes the Lakers' defense lose sight of one thing.

Some people online analyzed that there was no Malone. The Lakers stopped when they played the Spurs. The Pistons reached the finals and 80% of them could win the championship when they met the Lakers now.

Fortunately, the Lakers eliminated the Spurs, and it would be a big deal if the Nets in the Finals played the Spurs. Luck is also part of their strength. They are only one step away from winning the cup.

After staying in Los Angeles for two days, Wang Jun received a lot of calls. Yao Ming and Dazhi congratulated him on winning the championship in advance, and James and Carman also called to congratulate him. His tone was a little sour, and he was envious and jealous.

Chinese media directly called Wang Jun "the first Chinese player to start to win the NBA championship ring."

The American media also agreed that the Nets will definitely win the championship. No team has ever fallen behind 0-3 and turned the tables.

There was a situation inside the Lakers. During the break, Jackson did not call a meeting for players to study ways to deal with the Nets. It was not that he gave up on himself, but that the Lakers management was determined to send O'Neal away this summer and keep Kobe Bryant.

The reason is simple. Kobe is younger and promising, and his beautiful style of playing can attract fans.

Jackson felt that Kobe and O'Neal were not at the same level at all. O'Neal was the cornerstone of the team and the core of tactics, while Kobe was an assassin who was good at scoring.

Arrange tactics with the inside line as the core, everything is easy to handle. What tactics should Kobe play with his teammates? He rarely picks and rolls with his teammates, and likes to have the ball alone, so he can win the championship?

Jackson is not short of championship rings and cannot tolerate leading a team without O'Neal, that's a problem. Therefore, he has decided to resign in the summer and leave the Lakers. Unless the Lakers management gives Jenny Buss more rights and more say, he will consider continuing to coach.

At this time, O'Neal lost his energy.

He has seen the opponent's shark-cutting tactics, fake falls and other methods. It is reported that he has no choice but to shoot with his teammates. He lost in the last game and let Kobe play by himself.

What about Kobe?

He struggled alone against the adverse factors on and off the field. There were almost no supporters in the United States. He was a young man in the eyes of everyone, and all the accusations and all the negative news followed one after another.

In an interview, he didn't say anything about confidence in turning the tables. What he is most looking forward to now is to increase the shooting order rate, which is the current order rate is too ugly.

The one who was most disappointed with the game was not the Lakers players and fans, but the league president David Stern.

The first game of the finals has a very high ratings, setting a record for the finals after Jordan retired. Stern is looking forward to this being a battle to make a lot of money.

Wang Jun’s Chinese players’ gimmicks and Lakers’ F4’s gimmicks were good. As a result, after playing two games, the ratings dropped a lot. It’s all because the Lakers were too unsatisfied and the Nets won too easily.

Stern gave up on the Lakers. He saw that the Lakers who appeared in were different from those in 2002 and could not help them at all.

The fourth battle took place in this context, and the ratings dropped a little.

Kobe no longer kept playing like he was on the court, actively sought the ball, and increased breakthroughs.

Even facing double-teams, Kobe still successfully broke into the inside four times in the first quarter, made two fouls to win free throws, and one pass formed an assist.

His sense of rhythm is very good. He travels through the cracks of people and feels that it is not as fast as possible.

Kobe's high-difficulty layup scored aroused applause from home fans, but unfortunately it broke out too late.

Kobe's breakthrough attracted defense, and he had time to pass the ball to the outside world. He helped the Lakers bit the score in the first quarter, scored 8 points and sent 3 assists.

In the second quarter, the net team opened the score again.

The Lakers really couldn't defend against the Nets' pick-and-roll in the inside, and Martin scored continuously in the middle. Brian Cook couldn't defend against Kidd, nor could he not defend. Fisher and Rush could not prevent Martin from being in a misplaced manner.

Kobe was double-teamed and passed the ball today. His shooting percentage was good, but he shot less, so his teammates could not support the team's offense and could not beat him.

In the second half, O'Neal and Kobe began to pass the ball again and compete with each other.

If the Lakers play first at home, they may be able to resist. After losing two away games in a row, their morale dropped to freezing point and they could not even play their home advantage.

The Nets led by up to 27 points in the last quarter, and replaced all the main players three minutes in advance.
