Before the start of this year's NBA Finals, the major media outlets were surprisingly quiet, and they didn't know how to hype up this unsolved Finals.

In previous years, ESPN would ask a panel of experts to analyze the lineups of the two teams and predict the outcome of the match, but this year this event is gone. Everyone knows that the Lakers will win the championship, so why do experts need to predict it?

On the Internet, the media did not launch a relevant vote, and everyone would vote for the Lakers to win the championship. How can a team with 56 wins in the regular season win against a team that wins all?

Only two of the 76ers have ever had Finals experience, Millsap and Gallinari, who weren't at the core of the team when they reached the Finals before, but were just role players.

The only suspense in the game is whether the Lakers can maintain their winning record, and the media is not good at using this as a gimmick to publicize. This will only make fans feel that the gap between the two sides is large, and they are even more lazy to watch the game, just pay attention to the news after the game.

On June 1, the first battle between the two sides took place at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The result was as expected, with the Lakers taking the lead from the opening game and easily beating the 76ers.

The Lakers' lineup is very targeted, and the starters are Guo Xu, Booker, Durant, Tucker, and Horford.

Adams played off the bench, because the 76ers' interior players rarely attack the basket, and like to pull out the offense to help the guard break through, and win the game by combining inside and outside.

Adams had a rough time playing against Jokic in the regular season, and Jokic could shoot and cut in the air, so he had to send a mobile man to defend him. Horford is the most suitable, Jokic is a technical flow player, lacks explosiveness, and Horford can withstand the low post.

Horford and Tucker are much better at blocking and pick-and-roll than Adams, and Kemba Walker, Will Barton, and Russell are not so easy to misplace and break through when they find cover.

On the offensive end, all five of the Lakers' starters can shoot three-pointers, and the formation is very open, and no matter who the 76ers wrap Guo Xu in, there will be vacancy. If they don't wrap up, Guo Xu can single out Walker in positional battles and counterattacks.

WITH A HEIGHT OF 185CM AND A WEIGHT OF 83 KG, WALKER IS A PLAYER WHO IS STRONG IN ATTACK AND WEAK IN DEFENSE. He's very physical, he's fast, he's quick, he's got a shot. On the defensive end, he always runs tirelessly and is full of fighting spirit.

Among point guards, Walker's defensive ability is above average, and he plays well against Lillard, Wall, and Bledsoe. But it is not enough for him to defend Guo Xu with fighting spirit, Guo Xu is stronger, his shooting is more accurate, and there are many unreasonable goals in heads-up.

Walker's close-fitting effect is poor, Guo Xu can knock him away and force a breakthrough, obviously the two are about the same weight, but Guo Xu's strength is obviously victorious. He'll dribble towards Walker, elbow out or dribble behind his back to change direction, and Walker can't stop him from breaking through with a slight step back.

If Walker is far away from Guo Xu to defend the breakthrough, Guo Xu can shoot three points by dribbling under the crotch outside the three-point line and stepping back to meet people, and one move is eaten all over the world.

These techniques Walker will also, but the power of using them against Guo Xu is not great, or it is not powerful.

He can't open Guo Xu with his hidden elbow, Guo Xu is not afraid of pain and will maintain his center of gravity, and he has become a habit of practicing martial arts. If Walker increases the intensity of his elbows, Guo Xu will blow the whistle as soon as he stumbles.

The first person in the league can elbow Walker, an ordinary star, and Walker's elbow Guo Xu is a foul. Don't underestimate this kind of star whistle, use small actions in the breakthrough, add up, and the star may score 5-10 more points per game.

It is much more difficult for people without a whistle to break through, Kobe's shooting rate is getting lower and lower, and getting older is only one aspect, and on the other hand, the league doesn't praise him. There is a huge gap between Kobe, who opened the way at the elbow, and Kobe, who fouled the elbow, and at most only seventy percent of the strength remains.

Walker can also shoot against Guo Xu, the two 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, and he belongs to the poor version of Guo Xu.

The two of them went head-to-head, and the loss was definitely 76. Walker's organizational skills are not as good as Guo Xu, he is a score-oriented point guard with average passing awareness, similar to Lillard.

Guo Xu used two styles of play, heads-up in the middle and heads-up on the side, attracting the bag and sharing the ball, and the 76ers couldn't defend the whole game.

Last season, Carter and Guo Xu were responsible for catching and shooting on one side and swept the Nets, and now there is no weakness in replacing Durant. He has more accurate shots in the open space, he can play alone when defended, and his shooting percentage has remained around 50% in the playoffs.

The 76ers are guarding two stars and are bound to vacate role players, with Tucker and Booker both shooting high percentage from the field.

Horford is characterized by consistent play, similar statistics in every game, and reasonable style of play. He can combine with a burst shot and look like a big man and a small forward.

Of course, the outside world said that the Lakers were invincible in the past two seasons because Horford was a supergiant, so they overestimated him. His main offensive ability is lacking, and he has no tricks, so he will definitely not be able to lead the team as the boss.

In the first game, the Lakers won 135-104 by 31 points, and Guo Xu scored a big double-double of 30 points and 21 assists.

Guo Xu didn't shoot much, shooting more than 70% from the field, and made 10 free throws to hit all of them, with amazing efficiency. He broke through again and again to deliver assists, and all six Lakers scored double-doubles.

In the second game, the 76ers and the Lakers fought offensively, and the defensive end was man-to-man, intending to win by offensive efficiency, which was a dream.

After playing three quarters, everyone regretted it, Guo Xu scored 61 points, 4 assists, and shot 10 three-pointers. The 76ers also failed to limit the Lakers' overall offense, and the two stars took turns to play alone to ensure offensive efficiency, and the Lakers led by 25 points.

Walker and Russell in the No. 1 position were abused by Guo Xu in turn, and the "young marshal" did not consider letting the Spanish veteran Rodriguez play, and the one who played was even more unguardable and could only be a pure marginal person.

Guo Xu played for more than 4 minutes in the last quarter, scored 70 points and 5 assists, and won the NBA Finals personal single-game scoring record. The Lakers defeated the 76ers 131-107 to take a 2-0 overall lead.

After the game, no one said that Guo Xu brushed the data, and when Elgin Baylor set the single-game scoring record, he didn't rest at all, and the Lakers never won a championship under his leadership.

The 76ers' return to home court will not be able to bridge the gap in the strength of the two sides. In the regular season, they had a game with the Lakers, and they played very well, and now they can't find that kind of form.

It was just a regular season game and the young players didn't have the pressure to play and didn't have to think about the consequences of losing. It's the finals, and they're all burdened with the psychology of wanting to win and being afraid of losing.

It's easy for young players to have problems with their mentality and not play their normal strength. They didn't know how to adjust, and all of them, including Jokic, were affected.

One thing they know from watching the news online is that once the 76ers are swept, they will go down in history with the Lakers. 100 years from now, someone will say, "The Lakers swept the 76ers in 2017 and won all the championships." ”

When you think about it, it seems that reaching the finals is not a good thing, and as Kobe Bryant said, the runner-up is the biggest loser.

Guo Xu will not be polite to the 76ers, he will play the finals as easily as usual, give full play to his skills, and there will be no psychological pressure. He's won the championship too many times, just one more accolade, what's there to be nervous about?

Durant did his best, he waited too long for the Finals. He entered the league in 2007, which was the 10th season of his career, and after ten years of sharpening his sword, it was time to win the championship.

The two superstars led the team to continue to beat a team of several ordinary stars, and the Lakers won by 52 points in the third game.

In the fourth game, the 76ers players were desperate, their shooting percentage was not high, and they could not create any threat to the Lakers, and they were swept away by 43 points.

The game where the loss of 24 points was the smallest point difference between the two sides, and the difference in strength was too great......
