In the Finals G6 between the Lakers and the Knicks, Lakers' head assistant coach Darvin Ham announced the Lakers' starting lineup before the game.

There is no Yao Ming in the starting lineup, everyone thinks that Darvin Ham is crazy and goes berserk, don't you know the importance of Yao Ming to the Lakers in this Finals?

No matter how strong Coach D is, he can't beat this Knicks without Yao Ming, right?

When Hamm announced the starter, all the reporters present were not convinced.

And then, this one turned out to be true!

June 15th, 2014 at 8:30 p.m. at Madison Square Garden.

Before the game even started, the New York Knicks fans at the scene were frantically attacking Du Kang and the Lakers.

New York Knicks fans can't wait to turn this game into a bloody massacre of the Lakers vs. Coach D vs. Los Angeles from the very beginning.

However, while the New York Knicks attacked Dukang and the Lakers, the Knicks fans at the scene were also very curious and anxious, looking forward to whether the Lakers' starters in this game were really the ones announced by Ham before the game.

The game started with the starters of both teams taking to the pitch.

On the Knicks' side, who are playing at home, the starting lineup is the regular starting lineup of Howard, James, Anthony, Beasley and Wade.

On the Lakers' side, the starting lineup is Artest, Ibanks, McCarvey, Reggie Miller and Roy.

Seeing the Lakers' starting lineup, the New York Knicks fans who were originally in a fierce mood on the scene are now even more crazy.

Not to mention the New York Knicks fans at the scene, even the Lakers fans at the scene were holding their heads in their hands at this time, crazy 'Oh my God!' ’。

In the TNT commentary booth, O'Neal and Barkley and Kenny Smith were also yelling incredibly.

In such a game, putting Yao Ming on the bench is no longer a matter of courage, this is already a matter of IQ!

"The whole world knows that today's game New York Knicks will hit Yao, and we all know that tonight's game will be in huge trouble for Yao, but, even so, we can't let Yao come off the bench because of choking, if there is no Yao, I don't know how the Lakers should beat the New York Knicks!"

"This time I completely agree with Shaq's statement, even if Coach D really suspects that Yao will be in trouble, he should put Yao on the court and let the world see the darkness, so that the Lakers can still gain sympathy, if Yao is not allowed directly, in the end, the Lakers lose, everyone can't see the darkness, they will only feel that the New York Knicks will win above board, and in the end everyone will only think that Coach D is an idiot!"

The truth is a very simple one.

The finals between the Heat and the Lakers last season showed everyone when the NBA game can be the blackest.

So this Lakers road trip, many people expected, Coach D will think that there is no problem in this regard.

The problem is that you can't do that!

Why don't you wait for the Lakers to suppress the New York Knicks, and then consider replacing Yao in advance or other countermeasures after those shots!

Now that those people haven't moved, you are too scared to go to Yao, this is too putting the cart before the horse.

Therefore, at this time, not only the fans and commentators on the scene, but even the audience and fans on the Internet are already arguing at this time.

And that's just in the U.S., and on the Chinese internet, grumpy Chinese fans are already greeting David Stern and the NBA family.

For the sake of James, his godson, David Stern and the NBA are really crazy.

Not to mention the question of James being able to walk freely in the game.

Not to mention that James was not allowed to play defense back then.

Before the start of this year's playoffs, the league's vice president Adam Shaw suddenly proposed that in this year's playoffs, the defense under the basket must jump straight up and down, otherwise if there is physical contact, the defender will be judged to have committed a foul.

This is no longer played, and finally the rule that is not allowed to get started has been abolished, and now there is a rule that is even more disgusting than not allowing to get started.

Isn't this about scrapping all the defensive interior lines in the league?

As far as James's walking privilege is concerned, he can only go straight up and down when he hits the basket, and when he defends inside the basket, how can he defend this?

That's it, the James you are strong can't beat my big Yao.

Now I'm going to play even darker, who can stand this!

But now, as Barkley and O'Neal said, the Knicks haven't committed a crime yet, and Coach D has instigated it, so there is no way for everyone to arrest the Knicks.

So now the grumpy Chinese fans are also spraying the 2013 finals.

So far in the 2014 Finals, apart from James' walking problems, except for the Lakers, there is no home whistle, which is not particularly black.

And this is also where the grumpy Chinese fans feel uncomfortable.

Our coach Xiao Du thought that after the 2013 finals, it was understandable that he would overreact.

However, the reaction was too aggressive, so they didn't find the handle and spray point.

With so many eyes watching, you will be caught if you stretch out your hand, and before the Knicks can reach out, Coach D will be called a thief, which of course cannot be justified.

Even the Chinese fans who support Du Kang infinitely feel that it is inappropriate, and can only spray 2013, it is the previous behavior of the league that scared our little Coach Du.

One can imagine how crazy the Knicks DJ on the scene, at Madison Square, would be taunting Dukang and the Lakers.

"Coach D is speculating with his own malice about our great New York Knicks, our championship is dignified, and we can't do what the Miami Heat does!

Coach D's comparison of the great New York Knicks and the Miami Heat will only show his naivety and narrow-mindedness! ”

"As the greatest team in the NBA, we will use our nobility to embody the stupidity of Coach D and the cowardice of the Lakers!!!"

"Coach D!"

"Wow~Stupid!!"

"Los Angeles Lakers!"

"Wow ~ Cowardly !!"

Listening to such crazy boos and ridicule from the New York Knicks fans at the scene, Ham, who attended the press conference in place of Dukang to announce the team's starting lineup in advance, really couldn't understand.

"Du, I don't think it should be like this even if you protect Yao!"

Hamm even felt that many of the voices in the scene were right.

Even if the opponent wants to open the black, we have to wait for the opponent to open the black before acting, otherwise it will be too cowardly, and others will scare themselves before they can make a move.

"Darwin, can compassion bring us victory?"

“……”

"When Yao is on the court, when do we get him off the court, when he fouls for the first time? Second foul? Or the third foul? What if Yao gets two or even three fouls in a minute? ”

“……”

"Why did Du ask you to announce your pre-match starters in advance? It is to make the Lakers players more mentally prepared, we need to take our destiny into our own hands, not in the hands of others, and we need to be active, not passive. ”

“……”

Du Kang didn't answer, and Clifford, who was next to him, helped Du Kang answer these questions.

Clifford finished, and Hamm was dumbfounded.

"Don't look at me like that, I asked Du a long time ago, this is what Du told me, I think what Du said is very right, we don't need other people's sympathy, we don't need to passively accept these, we need to take the initiative."

Clifford looked at Dukang and continued to speak to Hamm and Nash.

"We just need to win this game!"

We just need to win this game!

But in doing so, can it really lead to victory?

Can a Lakers starter without Yao really stand up to the New York Knicks?

That's the key.

Ham didn't know, Nash didn't, Clifford didn't know.

So the three of them looked at Du Kang at the same time.

At this time, Du Kang's eyes were on the court.

And on the pitch, the game officially begins!

The Lakers did not start this game without Yao Ming, and they looked so weak that anyone who was the New York Knicks would be very excited and excited.

Even the referee team on the scene breathed a sigh of relief.

They didn't need to make a move at all, and the New York Knicks were able to lay the win before Yao came on the court.

In such a high-profile game, Coach D removed Yao from the starter in advance for fear that they would make a move, and they are under a lot of pressure now, with so many pairs of eyes staring, and if they can, they don't like to do things that will cause an uproar in the whole world.

Even after they looked at each other, they felt that the first quarter of this game could be a little biased towards the Lakers and make them look more fair.

In the first two games, because of Yao Ming, the performance of James and Howard, the two leading players of the New York Knicks, was very average.

In particular, G5 and G4 also swiped some data.

G5, the two were killed by Yao Ming, all relying on Anthony and Beasley's singles and Wade's mid-range fixed-point projection.

The two of them played like supporting characters on the offensive end.

Now that Yao Ming is not present, you say, what will these two people think?

Of course, I want to attack at the beginning!

Such a good opportunity is not worthy of yourself?

After the opening, James took the ball and went inside.

Yao Ming is not on the court, and the Lakers' defense is, of course, a contraction defense.

On the court of the Lakers, in addition to Artest, who played center in this game, the strongest defense is Ibanas.

In addition to these two.

Roy, McCarvey and Reggie Miller, the defense is average.

These three can do anything.

If you do it from likes and dislikes, of course it's McCarvey's kid.

After the first two games, some people actually said that his lifelong enemy was McCarvey!

Fack!

He is a great emperor, and his lifelong enemies are not Kobe Bryant but also Durant.

Which green onion is McCarvey?

But obviously, from the point of view of cost-effectiveness, of course, Reggie Miller is more easy to bully.

In the face of the Lakers' shrinking defense, James is really fierce!

After blocking Wade, he stepped on the accelerator and killed Reggie Miller directly.

But the question is, is Reggie Miller really that easy to bully?

The people who think Reggie Miller is a bully must be someone who hasn't watched Miller and Jordan play.

After the fame of Fantastic Monty, there were some do-gooders who ranked the top five best defensive Jordans in NBA history.

Among them, Monty Williams ranks first, and has played Jordan seven times in his career, so that Jordan averages only 38.5% shooting rate and 25.3 points per game.

This is the existence of a unique gear.

After that, it was the turn of the second glove Payton.

Payton played Jordan 21 times in his career, allowing Jordan to average 29.6 points per game and a shooting rate of 45.6%, which is actually very Dior, especially in the finals that year, so that Jordan averaged only 41.5% per game, so that Jordan only scored 27.3 points.

If it weren't for the Magical Monty in front, Payton would be the Jordan finisher in the only gear.

The third-place Jordan terminator is Moncliffe, the rookie Young Joe suffered at the hands of Moncliffe, the 85 playoffs Danzi was embarrassed by Moncliffe, Danzi always had a hard time meeting the Bucks in those years, but after the broken leg passed the Young Joe period, Danzi met Moncliffe and hung up, and Moncliffe could no longer stop Danzi.

The fourth-ranked Jordan terminator is Joe Dumas, well, there's nothing to say about this, this is a target set by Danzi himself, and the Pistons are the only ones who are upright and gentlemanly, even if you think the Pistons are good at defending me, it's not the reason for that group of bastards, but the reason for Joe Dumas, as for whether it's or isn't, Danzi said yes, is it possible that you know Danzi better than Danzi? Anyway, Danzi felt that he was terminated by Joe Dumas and he admitted, and he was terminated by Thomas, Dantley, Ranbir, Rodman and others, and he definitely didn't admit it.

However, Joe Dumas is indeed the main defender, the effect of the main defense, of course, is not so good, playing the Pistons, playing Joe Dumas, Danzi all kinds of high scores.

The Pistons the bulls, and the defense still mainly relied on the group of villains who assisted in the defense on the side, and this group of villains really scared everyone else in the bulls except Danzi crazy, and they didn't dare to attack except Danzi.

So Joe Dumas's Jordan terminator has the meaning of Jordan himself awarding the award.

And behind Joe Dumas is Reggie Miller.

Reggie Miller don't look thin, when his off-ball running ability is very strong, off-ball defense is very strong, and Jordan in the later stage, many times he plays without the ball, Reggie Miller's octopus-style kraft candy defense is really a headache against Reggie Miller.

If you don't say that Reggie Miller is Jordan's lifelong enemy, the angry Danzi breaks the defense, and Reggie Miller's defense is like a resentful woman.

Well, the five Jordan terminators, except for the magical Monty, the other four were all turned over by Danzi in the end.

It can be seen that in addition to the magical Monty in this world, there is actually no Jordan Terminator at all.

These four people have only caused some trouble in Jordan's career.

However, it is already a very rare thing to be able to cause some trouble in Danzi's career.

And the player who can make Danzi trouble, Reggie Miller, how can it be so simple.

Reggie Miller now has ninety percent athleticism at his peak, plus a heavier body than his peak, plus his experience.

Jordan suffered so much to beat Reggie Miller, let alone James.

James slammed into Reggie Miller, and the two fell straight out.

Reggie Miller fell.

And James followed.

Reggie Miller poured on purpose.

And James was brought down by Reggie Miller.

James is replaced by any player, and the ball is definitely an offensive foul.

If you rush over so straight and can't pass, it's a foul, and there's nothing to say.

But this is James!

Blowing an offensive foul at the beginning, do you want to mix in the NBA in the future?

However, Reggie Miller's defensive move is very clean, except for losing his balance and bringing down James, there is really no way to blow it.

And this one is Reggie Miller!

They dare to blow Yao Ming, but they don't dare to blow Reggie Miller.

Yao Ming's status in the American basketball world is certainly not comparable to Reggie Miller.

Reggie Miller's prestige and status in the NBA is a historical supergiant.

James was rolling on the ground in pain, while Wade and Anthony were chasing the referee for a foul.

In the end, the referee gritted his teeth, this ball is not a foul!

It's not an offensive foul or a defensive foul, two teams fight for the ball!

James and Reggie Miller scramble for the ball.

The decision actually gave the ball back to the Knicks.

Although it didn't blow a Reggie Miller foul, it was actually a Reggie Miller foul.

Unless you James jump ball, even Reggie Miller can't win.

However, James was very dissatisfied with this decision.

James, who was still rolling on the ground just now, jumped up suddenly, then spread his hands and rushed to the referee to look at the referee in shock, anger, puzzlement, innocence, and despair.

"Fack! Don't you see? He kicked me down! It's a foul, it's a proper foul! ”

Regardless of James' complaints, the referee did not change his decision.

James and Reggie Miller jump ball.

In the end, James won the jump ball, the Knicks possessed the ball, and the offense continued.

After this incident, the smell of gunpowder from the two teams came up in an instant.

Originally, Coach D asked Yao to substitute in this game, which made the anger of the two teams soar.

Knicks fans feel that Coach D is looking down on us, and the game has not yet been played, so they say that we can't win.

And Lakers fans feel that you TM is still good at what you TM has gained.

It's hard to say that the players of both teams don't have such emotions.

Coach D's behavior, doesn't this directly roast LeBron James on the fire?

Not to mention James, ordinary players can't stand Coach D's behavior, right?

So at the beginning of this game, James was visibly impatient.

When the Knicks attacked this time, James broke through from the left side, disgusted with the referee next to him, and even pushed the referee away.

Trough!

Seeing this scene, many viewers in front of the TV were stunned.

If this were an ordinary player, he would have been sent off and banned, right?

But being pushed by James like this, the referee didn't say anything at all, and after quickly getting up from the ground, he began to blow the game again.

This treatment!

I don't know how many players in front of the TV they watched cried with envy.

"So, no player in the NBA will really respect him!"

Chammos, the Heat point guard in front of the TV, said disdainfully.

When he was with the Heat, he was one of the people who was most unhappy with James.

On the court, the Knicks continued to attack, and James was still strong this time, but the target of the strong burst was replaced by McCarvey.

It's just that McCarvey's speed burst and agility are strong, and James' breakthrough failed again.

In the end, James collected the ball, held the ball with both hands, and made a strong push to the right.

There's really no way to defend it.

However, McCarvey was already mentally prepared for this, following behind James, and formed a pinch attack on James with Artest under the basket.

James forced Artest to ride Artest for a layup!

Bang!

Strike iron!

Ebanks' grabbed the rebound in the backcourt.

The forward players who are over 1.98 meters in five points shrink, James does not choose to shoot outside, does not choose to distribute the ball to Anthony and Wade Beasley They shoot, and finally attacks like this.

I don't know how many expert fans are shaking their heads in front of this TV set.

"The Knicks' offense is so unreasonable!"

Even Teacher Zhang Li was surprised at this time.

"Coach D's sowing discord has done more damage to the Knicks than we thought!"

The finals have already reached G6, and the Knicks are still in deep disunity!

James's offense just now, even if it was passed to Howard at the end, instead of forcing Artest!

But in the end, he still strengthened Artest under the basket!

Now that Yao Ming is not starting, the Knicks not only didn't get a chance, but they were even caught by the Lakers!

Compared with the completely undisciplined and selfish play style of the Knicks, the Lakers' offense is much more disciplined.

Artest serves at the top of the arc.

McCarvey pocketed out of the 45-degree three-point line on the left side to catch the ball.

After receiving the ball, McCarvey quickly blocked and dismantled with Ebanks, and then cut inside.

"This is the way to play...... Kind of like a spur! ”

Seeing the Lakers' style of play, the magicians on the scene were stunned for a moment.

And Jabbar, next to the magician, had his eyes lit up.

"UCLA Air Cutting !!"

In the regular season this season, when Coach D was not suspended, he used Maizi and Yao Ming Kobe to play UCLA air cuts.

That's a UCLA air cut with a pure internal line.

And this time, Coach D used the Spurs' kind of outside!

"I heard that Coach D organized a group to practice secret tactics with the Lakers last season, and after being banned this season, Coach D has been cultivating young players, and the secret tactic that Coach D won't practice is UCLA Air Cut, right?!"

Budenholzer said dumbfounded in front of the TV.

Coach D will UCLA air cut this no problem, no one will have a doubt.

After all, Coach D has cracked the Spurs' UCLA air cut in the playoffs for two seasons in a row.

However, it doesn't mean that it can be built in the team.

Especially a team as mobile as the Lakers.

The Lakers led by Coach D claim to be rebuilding every year.

Budenholzer felt that if he put himself on the Lakers, it would be absolutely impossible to create a UCLA air cut!

"Mike, don't use yourself to estimate others, Steve can make UCLA air cuts look good in one year with the Warriors, and Coach D has been with the Lakers for two years."

Popovich's eyes lit up.

As one of the people in the world who knows the most about UCLA air cuts.

Of course, he can see that the Lakers' UCLA air cut is not tacit enough, and it is not even as good as last season's Spurs.

However, it's barely about the same level as Kerr has built with the Warriors.

This is actually not easy.

After all, Maddie and Kobe Yao Ming are not there.

"But...... Enough. ”

Popovich smiled.

Phil Jackson spent a year with the New York Knicks, leaving no trace, and the players of the New York Knicks played on talent.

This is true on both offensive and defensive ends.

And UCLA Air Cut is the strongest tactic to dodge talent!

As long as you can play and be patient, there will always be opportunities.

Four passes are the most perfect, four passes without a chance, then five, five is not enough, then six, even as long as 24 seconds is enough, as long as you don't make a mistake in passing, you can pass, run, cut.

Once!

Twice!

Three times!

Not even four times! Five times! Six times!

It wasn't until the seventh time that Roy broke through the ball and distributed the ball to Reggie Miller, who was outside the three-point line, that Reggie Miller got his best chance.

Reggie Miller ran to the top of the arc to receive Roy's pass, jumped quickly, and shot!

It wasn't until Reggie Miller made a move that James pounced!

Brush it up!

Three-point hit!

The Lakers lead 3-0 on the road!

"Fack! It's really a UCLA air cut!! ”

Many experts in front of the TV were stunned.

Even if the Lakers' UCLA air cut level is not so high, as a New York Knicks who have never been seen before, it is impossible to adapt to not having half a game or even a game!

At the very least, in the first quarter, the New York Knicks will definitely not be able to adapt to it!

"Coach D can't really beat the New York Knicks without Yao, right?!"

The first quarter played 4 minutes.

The Los Angeles Lakers, who are playing away, have a six-point lead of 12-6.

Without Yao Ming, the New York Knicks were at a loss in front of the Los Angeles Lakers' UCLA cut.

In the first four minutes, Reggie Miller hit 3 three-pointers!

If this game continues, this game of the New York Knicks will really be dangerous!

The referee team on duty, who were originally thinking about whether this game was biased towards the Lakers, were stunned.

James and Howard don't want to do this!

Won't this game be played?

Wouldn't it be good to let your teammates throw away first and then harvest yourself?

Do you have to fight as soon as you come up?!

The truth is that this is true.

But for James, if he is slow to reap, Howard will reap.

For Howard, if he is slow to reap, James will reap.

There is no solution to this at all.

James and Howard played impatiently, and even affected their teammates.

For NBA teams, there are 44 minutes left in the game, six points behind, which is nothing, and there is still a future to chase.

However, the key is that the opponent's Yao Ming has not yet been on!

The point is, this game is a must-win for the New York Knicks!

In this case, the New York Knicks can't even win the Lakers lineup, which is very infuriating.

Then, the rest of the game was shocking.

In the last 8 minutes of the first quarter, the referees on duty went crazy.

In just 8 minutes, he blew 15 fouls from the Lakers, and in just 8 minutes, he gave the New York Knicks 26 free throws!

At the end of the first quarter, the New York Knicks were 49-38 at home, leading the Lakers by 11 points!

In just 8 minutes, from 6 points behind to 11 points ahead, chasing 17 points!

The performance of the New York Knicks is quite explosive!

Such an explosive game will definitely make the New York Knicks fans at the scene crazy, right?

However, this is not the case.

At the end of the first quarter, Madison Square was silent.

After the first quarter of the game, it seems that it was not the Knicks who led by 11 points, but the Lakers!

In fact, New York is so confident in this game, and I also thought that I would have a strong home whistle in this game.

But!

They never imagined their home post to be like this!

In this game, there is no intention for the Lakers to win at all, right?

The first quarter of the game was over.

McCarvey was fouled three times, Roy three times, Ibanks three times, Reggie Miller and Artest twice.

In this game, do the Lakers really have to play?

At the end of the first quarter, the entire commentary bench was in shock.

Especially in the commentary seat of TNT, the well-informed trio is all in the dark at this time.

"Shaq, do you still think Coach D is overreacting?"

“……”

O'Neill was dumbfounded.

Where is this Coach D overreacting!

This is simply the reaction of the NBA's referee team in this game is too aggressive!

O'Neal even felt that if Yao started this game, he suspected that Yao might be sent off in the first quarter!

Trough!

This blow punishment is too cruel!!

"I think Coach D and the Lakers can give up this game!"

"Even if Coach D and the Lakers give up this game, they will be heroes!"

After a brief silence, the whole of Madison Square was boiling.

At this time, the atmosphere of the whole Madison Square is very peculiar.

The commentary seat, the commentators from various countries are shocked, the referee's matter is a very controversial thing, it is difficult for you to say that the referee's blowing penalty is unfounded, each blowing penalty must be grounded, otherwise they can't be the NBA's head referee.

However, even if it is well-founded, it is difficult to say that such a blow is correct.

But that's not the case for the fans in the field.

Since you have already gained, you can't resist, just accept it!

Since this is a game that is bound to win, then let's be even more arrogant!

So, Spike Lee, who was ready to open the champagne after the victory, opened the champagne at the end of the half.

86-73 at halftime, leading by 13 points at halftime, and more importantly, at halftime, the Lakers had 28 fouls!

"Crazy, really crazy!!"

Everyone is crazy about this crazy game.

And in the Lakers' locker room.

"I don't want sympathy for this game!

I just want to win this game! ”

I wish the book friends who take the college entrance examination every day, the college entrance examination goes well, come on!
