By watching the video of the first two rounds of the Eastern Conference, the SuperSonics coaching staff pinpointed the Heat's Achilles' heel.
The G4 SuperSonics continued the tactics of the first three games, easily winning 122-95, sweeping the Heat to win the championship.
At least three Sonics players huddled near the penalty area to defend and limit Wade's breakthrough, leaving Wade and the Heat's role players to take shots from mid- to long-range.
This has been tried and true. The Heat have an undercover agent. His teammates want to kill substitute power forward Antoine Walker when he shoots a three-pointer. He really dares to shoot, but he really doesn't score.
In this game, Walker shot 0 of 6 from beyond the three-point line, even in the open space, which was worse than when he was with the Mavericks. Moreover, he could not protect the rebounds well on the court. Yang Jian and Gerald Wallace were better than him.
Can rebound.
James Posey and Luke Ridnour lack playoff experience and their performance was not great.
Inexperienced players will inevitably feel nervous when entering the finals for the first time. They are suddenly entrusted with important tasks and cannot display their full strength. Even if they are full of firepower, it will be difficult to score high scores in a single game because they do not have that ability.
The Sonics restricted Wade's breakthrough, and the Heat's offensive rhythm was disrupted.
Wade's breakthrough is blocked and his jump shot ability is not good. His super-level performance is just over 40%, and his mid-range shooting percentage is similar to McGrady. Fans will not praise him for his inability to solve, and his opponents do not feel any threat.
What's even more disappointing is that Shaquille O'Neal's performance can no longer be described as "bad". He is clearly undercover. He has no dominance on the offensive end and can't even make free throws. He is a colander on the defensive end.
O'Neal, who lacks physical strength, is not as effective as Brad Miller in tactics. He cannot open up space and frequently misses people on defense. He played 30 minutes and made 4 of 11 shots and 1 of 4 free throws. He scored 9 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist and 5 fouls.
Facing Yang Jian's breakthrough, O'Neal could only foul. On several occasions, Yang Jian ran past him before he could even bend down.
Turkoglu and Billups are also players that the Heat cannot guard. Korver is also a headache for the Heat. His defense is not as good as Gerald Wallace, but as long as he is left open, he can catch the ball from the outside.
Stab.
After this game, Yang Jian completed three more milestones.
The SuperSonics lost only 4 games in a single season, the most in history, beating the 1997-98 season.
He won FMVP for the ninth time in his career, the first in history.
He won the ninth championship in his career, not far from Bill Russell's record. And his evaluation has already surpassed Russell's, and there is no comparison between the two.
Yang Jian averaged 31.5 points, 6 rebounds, 12.3 assists, 2.5 steals and 1 block per game. The combined shooting percentage of the three fields entered the 180 club. This is one of the finals where his statistics are relatively poor. Facing the Heat's strict defense, he is willing to pass the ball to create opportunities for his teammates.
.
However, he is still the player with the best statistics on both teams. He has a perfect combination of breakout shots and is very efficient in singles on the counterattack. He plays whatever way the opponent feels, and he can always distribute the ball to a reasonable position.
All SuperSonics players got a chance to play in the finals and played a role. When Yang Jian came off the court to rest, Tony Allen did a good job guarding Wade and could keep up with the speed and physical confrontation without suffering any disadvantages.
The reward for the best record is a time loop card, 5 in total. Yang Jian can put himself into a time loop at any time and live the same day again and again, but he still has no intention of experiencing it.
The reward for the ninth crown is the Dream Card, a total of 6 cards.
The reward for the ninth fmvp is high-grade elixir, a total of 9 pills.
Yang Jian also scored a lot of points. Every finals was a bumper harvest for him. He had never lost in the finals.
The Heat's O'Neal, Wade, Walker, and Alonzo Mourning provided points. Wade himself provided two, losing the only FMVP in his career.
Mourning's career has become even more tragic, as he failed to win the championship. He trained with the Heat Devils until his kidneys broke, but he still chose the Heat when he came back. What kind of spirit is this? Is this because he was brainwashed by Pat Riley?
.
In the regular season, Mourning averaged 7.8 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.7 blocks in 20 minutes per game, with a shooting percentage of 59.7%. His blocking efficiency was terrifying, which amazed countless fans.
However, entering the playoffs, Mourning's data dropped to 10.8 minutes per game, 3.8 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.1 blocks. In the game against the SuperSonics, Mourning could not play much role, and he was as unable to defend as O'Neal.
The SuperSonics have eight people providing points, including veteran Mutombo, who did not make the playoff roster. These people have all been selected to the All-Stars at different times. Yang Jian has saved a total of 98 points, which is almost over 100.
Mutombo has fulfilled his championship dream and is happy even without playing. Ha Shengzhen smiles like a retard. He must have left his name in history in South Korea. No matter how short his playing time is, he is the only person in South Korea who has won the NBA championship.
, no one can match it.
Moreover, he averaged 4.3 minutes per game in the finals, and also appeared in garbage time. He also scored a total of 4 points in the penalty area, averaging 1 point and 1 rebound per game.
President David Stern numbly presented the trophy to Yang Jian, smiling bitterly as he wished he could just throw down the trophy and leave. He believed that with the SuperSonics in this year's state, unless the lineup is completely disbanded, they will still win the championship next season.
After entering a suitable system, Turkoglu looked better than Rashard Lewis, which almost drove O'Neal crazy. When Turkoglu fouled O'Neal in g3 and sent O'Neal a free throw, O'Neal gritted his teeth and looked ferocious, looking like he wanted to
Killed.
Billups' contract is also very long. He is a perfect replacement for Payton and is good at offense and defense.
Stern clearly saw the gap in core strength between the two sides. Yang Jian averaged 5 three-pointers per game, and Wade averaged 0.5 three-pointers per game. Yang Jian's organizational skills were also top-notch, while Wade mostly scored by himself and passed the ball.
Too many mistakes on the ball.
O'Neal's condition declined significantly, and Stern felt that there was no hope for him in this life. In 1996, the league considered allowing O'Neal to be selected into the 50 Greatest Stars. Fortunately, they did not do so, otherwise the controversy would have been too great.
It is an extremely wise decision to allow Yang Jian to be selected into the top 50 superstars. Otherwise, the controversy will be even greater and the entire selection will become a joke.
The biggest headache for Stern is that there must be many capable veterans who want to go to the SuperSonics to compete for the championship this summer. The SuperSonics' lineup next season cannot be bad, and they don't even need these veterans.
Different from the previous championships, this time the Sonics did not return to Seattle immediately, but found a place to celebrate in Miami. Miami is a tourist destination, unlike Chicago.
Moreover, they heard that it was raining heavily in Seattle and they would have to brave the rain to go home late at night, so they might as well stay in Miami to celebrate.
Netizens from all over the world are discussing the SuperSonics winning the championship, lamenting that Yang Jian has more and more personal honors and other players can no longer catch up.
How to catch up? Unless they join the SuperSonics, most of the stars who entered the NBA at the same time as Yang Jian have never won a championship.
Payton became the biggest beneficiary. He won the championship as a marginal player on the team and also won the ninth championship of his career.
Payton made it clear at the press conference that he would not retire and wanted to play for one more year with the SuperSonics to win the 10th championship. If he could reach this level, he would be considered a legend in NBA history.
O'Neal has become the target of criticism from netizens. More and more people think that O'Neal is overrated.
Wade is the one who is highly praised by the league. If the media wants fans to believe that Wade is strong and capable of competing for the championship, they have to let O'Neal take the blame for the defeat.
Of course, O'Neal is not taking the blame, he is really an undercover this time.
He averaged 13.6 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 0.8 blocks per game, and his free throw percentage was only a pitiful 29.2%. Heat fans have had enough and hope that the team can trade O'Neal in the summer and get anything back.
O'Neal has a serious mental problem and is afraid of going to the free throw line.
He himself did not want to stay with the Heat anymore, and he had a serious conflict with coach Riley. He felt that he trained too much and all his energy was used in training, so he would not have enough physical strength when playing games.
Moreover, he felt that the Heat could not win the championship, and it would be a waste of time to stay. At this point, they still failed to win the championship, and O'Neal was anxious to death.
O'Neal believes that the safest way to win the championship is to join the SuperSonics, but his contract is too big and the SuperSonics will not want him. When this big contract ends, he will have to consider a minimum salary to win the championship.
