Chapter 328: James' Performance, Executive Deputy GOAT, Suspension Comes

Just like last year, after losing the Eastern Conference Finals, player Doon went offline, and then commentator Doon went back online.

Perhaps because of the record high ratings of the Eastern Conference Finals not long ago, Doon was invited to participate in a TV show this year, and his value has increased a lot.

However, Doon cares more about exerting influence on the players on the field off the field.

Of course, it's still a good feeling to blow the air conditioner in the studio, judge the players playing on the field, and give advice.

Anyway, when Doon came to the TNT studio, the Western Conference Finals had just come to an end.

Doon didn't expect that the Lakers would defeat the Mavericks in the tie-break and finally advance to the Finals.

I have to say that there are two key points, one is that Kobe Bryant is not injured, and the other is the wonder soldier of Hinrich.

This year is the last year for Hinrich to sign his next contract with the Lakers, and just looking at the basic data of 11.8 points, 2.5 rebounds and 4.0 assists in the regular season, Hinrich's next contract will inevitably not be much bigger.

However, when it comes to contract years, all players will try their best to break out in a wave.

Hinrich is no exception!

Since you can't get the data you want in the regular season, let's get it in the playoffs!

As a lottery pick, Hinrich's talent is also quite good, and in the playoffs, he is much more consistent than other rotation players.

Speaking of the Mavericks, who can reach the Western Conference Finals this year, in addition to Nowitzki's explosive state, one of the more critical points is that Jason Terry can't handle this point.

Coincidentally, Hinrich, as a defensive stalwart on the back line, was able to effectively reduce Terry's scoring.

That would also free up Kobe Bryant to limit Peja and Marion's scoring.

However, Nowitzki is still fierce, and his performance in the Western Conference Finals is even better than Kobe.

O'Neal Jr., who has already won a championship ring, does not have the same hard work as last year, and although he is the same age as Nowitzki, he was still beaten into an ATM by Nowitzki.

After playing a series, the Lakers also tried to use Gasol to defend Nowitzki, but Gasol also failed to defend Nowitzki.

On the contrary, because Gasol consumed too much energy on the defensive end, the offensive end also became very bad.

The Lakers were able to win the Mavericks in the end, relying on hand-to-hand combat attrition and lengthening the series.

Because the Mavericks built the team with Nowitzki as the core, they are not a team with a traditional configuration, so they do not adopt a traditional positional battle style of play.

The Mavericks were able to win because of the team's multiple shooters, more blossoms, offensive space, and three-point shooting to improve scoring efficiency.

The Lakers' outside line is the configuration of Hinrich, Kobe, and Ariza, and even if these three can't shoot themselves, they won't let the opponent shoot the ball easily.

It was also after the first six defensive battles with great defensive intensity that the Lakers finally turned the tie-break into an iron battle, and then relied on Kobe's rich experience in iron fighting to have the last laugh.

Hearing the news that the Lakers had advanced to the Finals, Doon suddenly became entangled in his heart.

Originally, no matter who the Heat's opponent was, Doon believed that the Heat would not win the championship.

But the Lakers who advanced have a Wadek nemesis in the team - Hinrich.

In case Hinrich didn't die to defend Wade, then James smelled the smell and no longer pretended to be deaf and dumb, but carried the banner of the main attack......

So can the Lakers, who look weaker than last year, withstand the hot offensive of the Heat's Big Three?

Fortunately, James didn't disappoint Doon, and Wade didn't disappoint Doon either.

After the Heat defeated the Lakers by a huge margin of 106-92 in G1 of the Finals, a huge 14-point advantage, Doon knew that this was stable.

Peak Wade is not only an amazing explosive horse, but also a good pick-and-roll skill.

Over the years, Wade has also known that Hinrich has a lot of experience defensively and is not easy to deal with.

So, when it came to the finals, he didn't go it alone, and asked Bosh or Haslem to come out as a cover, and Hinrich rushed inside as soon as possible without squeezing the cover.

With Wade's explosiveness, as long as he is half a step ahead, let alone the current Hinrich, even No. 8 Kobe Bryant, who is a few years younger, will be difficult to catch up.

It is also because Wade played 13 of 20 shots, 2 of 7 three-point shots, 8 of 10 free throws, 34 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals and 1 block in the finals G1 early.

When the G2 started, the situation took a turn for the worse.

James, who originally had 18 points in G1, suddenly changed from the second scoring point to the team's leader.

James put on a posture against Doon in the Eastern Conference Finals, and pestered Kobe Bryant throughout the game, but Kobe Bryant pressed the button of the gods.

After being pulled back by the Lakers for two consecutive games, the Heat team also realized that the situation was not quite right, and adjusted the new defensive arrangement in time.

After G4 started, James behaved more actively, cooperating with his teammates on the defensive end to limit Kobe Bryant's scoring, and on the offensive end, he took the ball to face Kobe's defense.

Judging from the performance of the game alone, it is natural that I can't find fault at all.

Defending Kobe Bryant was better than in the previous two games, and he scored more points than in the previous two games.

It's just that the shooting percentage has decreased, and the number of shots has increased by five or six times. Because there were no free throws, the scoring efficiency dropped a lot.

The ball possession in the finals is limited, and five or six shots are not much, but it can also affect the trend of the game, especially when the game is extremely anxious.

Furthermore, if you don't shoot accurately, you have to shoot, which means giving rebounds to your opponent.

The only problem with the Heat's Big Three this season is that the height is not enough, and the team's salary space is locked by the Big Three, and there is no way to bring in reliable big centers.

The Heat played a lot of iron and didn't protect the rebounds, which was still very lethal in the finals where the defense won the championship.

After G4 was played, the Lakers won the game again by 3 points.

As a result, the Heat, who took the lead at the beginning, were overtaken by the Lakers, playing 3-1.

The series is 3-1, and it will be difficult to turn the tables around.

Not all the head coaches of strong teams are Rivers, and now the Heat are facing the Lakers with a Zen master!

In fact, even if Riley supervises the battle and grabs the command of Spo, the Heat may not be able to defeat the Zen master in tactics and on-the-spot.

Not to mention, the current Heat is only the first year of the Big Three, but the Lakers are the defending champions who have already won a championship!

Of course, the Big Three of the Heat are the Big Three after all, and they are no worse than the Lakers in terms of configuration, plus the stars are relatively young.

After G5 started, the Heat, under the leadership of Wade, still struggled to pull back a game.

It is worth mentioning that James is in good shape, scoring 20 points for the first time in the Finals, which is also a more important point.

However, Wade can't score 30 points in every Finals game.

With G6 Wade in poor form, James and Bosh performing more averagely, no one in the Heat Big Three scored more than 20 points.

The Lakers are playing in three armies, Hinrich and Pau Gasol both have 15+ performances, plus Kobe's 25+ basic plate, and finally got his wish and stood on the championship podium again.

Kobe Bryant won the championship again, which seems to have raised the gold content of Doon's four FMVPs a little more.

However, Kobe, who has six championships, also has the qualifications to win the GOAT like Abdul-Jabbar, which is basically the executive deputy GOAT!

Kobe's technical movements were originally similar to Jordan, but now that the honor has come up, it is normal to touch Jordan.

It's just that Kobe Bryant hasn't defeated Doon head-on yet, and he can't completely wash away the previous shame.

Of course, Kobe Bryant's second consecutive championship also somewhat shakes Doon's dominance of the NBA.

Doon gave Kobe Bryant three consecutive runners-up, but after all, he stopped in the Eastern Conference Finals for two consecutive years.

Will Doon be able to lift the championship again in the next few years? Who can say for sure!

Doon fans, as well as some Chicago fans, are also aware of this, or perhaps threatened by Kobe Bryant to become the new ruler of the league, and hurriedly put pressure on the Bulls management.

As the Finals came to an end, so did the NBA 10-11 season.

The Bulls' two max-salary junk contracts are immediately emptied, and it's time for the Bulls to step up in the offseason!

However, the Bulls management was not in such a hurry, and the top priority was to complete the contract extension with Doane.

Because of the Doon clause, Doon signed a 4+1 contract with the Bulls with a maximum salary cap of 30%.

So far this season, Doon has fulfilled the previous four years of his contract.

In order to get more money, Doon naturally opted to jump out of his contract in the summer and then renew his contract.

However, there is a problem at the moment, that is, the last labor contract is about to expire in July, and a new round of labor conflicts is about to erupt.

Bulls management has no problem with Doon, but league owners are not used to seeing stars like Doon making a lot of money, while some teams are still losing money.

As early as the beginning of three years this year, league officials said that if players do not accept the new conditions, then the NBA may enter a shutdown.

By the end of May, the players' union had hardened and filed a lawsuit with a labor arbitration body, accusing the NBA of using intimidation and threats to force the union to sign a new collective bargaining agreement that was unfavorable to the players.

It is precisely because of this that collective bargaining has not been able to take place for a long time, and the NBA shutdown is inevitable.

Bulls management is worried that the shutdown will be too long, and what new changes will be triggered.

For example, Doon returned to China to play in the CBA, which led to the season when the Bulls should have won the championship, because of the absence of the big boss, and wasted a year in vain.

So, Bulls management needs to get Doon done before the shutdown comes.

And Doon also needs to use the management to get the rookies in the team, as well as the helpers who may come in the new season.

Most NBA players lack self-discipline, and the first few NBA shutdowns have seen a large number of NBA players decline, including All-Star level stars.

Doon doesn't want management to bring in random reinforcements, do him a favor, and then lock up the team's salary space with a garbage contract.

Therefore, Manager Du will be online again soon. (End of chapter)
