Of course, there are also people who sing the opposite tune, intentionally disgusting and guiding public opinion:
Kobe Bryant is a pseudo-super giant! Data proves that he has powerful teammates to help him wipe his butt in many games! - ESPN expert Henry Abbott.
Pau Gasol is the real savior of the Lakers! Without him, the Lakers will lose! - ESPN expert Brian Windhorse.
14 points in a single game? How much did Kobe drop last night? This season, he averaged 43.7 points per game in the regular season, which probably dropped by about 68%! ——ESPN data expert Amin Elhassan’s personal Twitter.
This is a typical guide that only looks at the data and not the game. Of course, ESPN does this kind of thing a lot. Anyway, what they want to do is to attract attention. As for the issue of being slapped in the face and being slapped in the face, that is not something they consider.
You have to know that real analytical articles generally don’t have as many selling points as this kind of gossipy articles.
ESPN has become a super authoritative giant in such a short period of time, and they know what they are doing.
And ESPN, these "crackers" also provide a legitimate outlet for the Heat, James, Wade, Miko, Black Lake, Black, etc. who have nowhere to vent because of losing. Suddenly, there was a huge outcry on the Internet.
The soft articles and posts attacking Kobe Bryant seem to have grown overnight and exploded overnight. Looking around, there are countless people setting the pace.
For example, what are the examples of Kobe Bryant not playing well in key games, but still winning?
For example, why is Kobe not dominant in the playoffs?
Of course, the most discussed issue is the ownership of the 2010 Finals MVP. This old saying is repeated simply because some people come to set the pace and to blacken Kobe. Because in the 2010 Finals, after all, it was G7 Kobe who played the best.
He is relatively strong. In fact, he scored 10 points in the fourth quarter in the end. The critical moment was not as unbearable as some black people said. And, and, you have to understand, FMVP is the performance evaluation of the entire finals.
, it is not an evaluation of one game. Kobe averaged 28.6+8+3.9+2.1 per game in the entire series. All five basic statistics were in the top three of the team. Three statistics ranked first in the team, and one all-time average.
If you don't give him the second spot on the team, who will you give it to? Are you laughing at Kobe's shooting percentage that year? Look at the statistics of James, who is known for his efficiency, when he played against the Celtics in those years. What shooting numbers? 35.5% in 2008! 44.7% in 2010!
How high is it? As for the issue of playoff win shares, I have said it countless times. This is a man-made formula and data. Furthermore... Kobe's win shares during three consecutive championships in one year were higher than
O'Neal is high. This is based on the fact that O'Neal has smashed the statistics in every finals and has absolutely destroyed the relationship between the opponents in the Eastern Conference. Could it be that he should also be given to Kobe that year?
You can say that Kobe has a "game-seven curse", but it's nonsense to say that someone wipes your butt at critical moments.
He has played in so many playoff games, and he has selectively forgotten the games he swept all of them?
When James has no one to wipe his butt?
Putting aside the distance, in the original time and space of the 2013 Finals, without Wade's explosion and without Ray Allen's key extension, would he have been able to win two consecutive championships?
So this kind of pure data is all nonsense. The data must be viewed in conjunction with the game, otherwise it will be out of touch with reality and just pitiful and ridiculous. It is true that James and Kehei are the largest traffic groups in the basketball circle, but Comey and James
The same goes for Black. Are both sides well-matched? So... the reinforcements arrived on the battlefield in 3 seconds.
Kobe scored less points. How many points did James get? Isn’t it even less than Kobe? What is there to be proud of?
Isn't James the king of efficiency? How did he play like that in the last game? Oh, he was stared at by Kobe. What a pity.
Kobe's defense is all fouls! This is a screenshot of the game. I can show you the screenshots round by round! See how your boss plays! If you weren't so protected by your godfather, do you think Kobe can defend James?
?ridiculous!
The referees didn’t even blow the whistle, so why are you trying to compete? Besides, the intensity of the confrontation and the scale of the competition will increase as the series progresses. Is it abnormal for this kind of situation to happen in the finals? Oh, you just like body hair
Whistle and star whistle, right? It's a pity that your James doesn't have such preferential treatment when facing Kobe at the same level!
Is the foul justified? Comet is really unreasonable! Like a master, like a servant!
If you can't adapt to the changes in competition standards, can you blame others? James is just a talent! This is like every master must have his slave!
Basically, after every game between Comi and James, the situation was like this, and the finals only amplified this. Before the final outcome of the game was decided, neither party would stop and give in!
But the Heat did complain about this problem. They cut the video of Kobe defending James into highlights and submitted it to the league office, hoping to get changes in the penalty scale for the next game and later. If this kind of thing is normal,
It's not that David Stern can't consider it. After all, the "star-making movement" has been one of his main cards for so many years. James also entered the game with the aura of the chosen one. He has been building momentum for James in recent years.
Even the rules have been modified for the former.
But this time, David Stern ignored the Heat's appeal because the 23VS24 drama was the last "big drama" he personally directed in his career as president. In order for this "big drama" to be staged, he almost
It took a lot of effort to finally make it a reality, and to have both of them stand on the finals stage together. Now you are saying that you want to destroy this carefully prepared "big show"? Then unless David Stern is
I only agreed after my brain was blown!
David Stern has known how to handle the showdown between stars of the same level for so many years.
Let them decide the game by themselves and reduce whistles as much as possible. That will be more beautiful, exciting and eye-catching.
He had already come to this conclusion through countless experiments.
It is not impossible to provide whistles and care. For example, in 2006, special care was given to Wade and the Heat.
But let me tell you this, what if the Western Conference team that entered the NBA Finals in 2006 was not the Mavericks but the Lakers? What if Wade's opponent was not Nowitzki, but Kobe, who was very popular at the time? What do you think?
Would David Stern still give Wade so many whistles? Let him repeatedly get Kobe into foul trouble? It would be weird! Absolutely impossible!
Doesn't this ruin the enjoyment and excitement of the game?
Therefore, David Stern has only one principle: the interests of the alliance come first!
So in his eyes, there is no reason why rules and principles cannot be changed!
As long as it is in line with the development interests of the alliance, you can use the knife!
Therefore, he had no intention of handling or paying attention to the Heat's complaint.
When the game reached this point, all James fans stepped forward to find a solution, including ESPN and Sports Illustrated, which strongly supported James, and even several commentators cried foul. No, no, it was experts and professors who stepped forward to post articles and code words.
Got:
How to save the Miami Heat? Big data analysis! Only LeBron James!
KING should use his back more often! He is a lot heavier than Kobe! This is the weapon that breaks Kobe's high-pressure defense!
The second one is considered to be on the list. Many James and the football emperor think so, but they forgot one thing.
James' post-up play, even if it is much better now than in 2011, is only above average. If you insist on saying how good it is, it is completely unrealistic. Especially if he is asked to post up from outside.
Kobe No. 24, who is second to none in skill points, is still Kobe at the top of his game. This is actually bizarre.
But how can I put it, in Kobe's defensive mode, it is indeed very difficult to hold the ball and attack from the outside, because everyone knows that Kobe's strongest defense is to defend and attack with the ball. No. 24, whether it is offense or defense,
The power of suppression has reached an astonishing level, so hitting from behind is indeed the best solution at the moment.
But, can I get in?
Hit it in front of No. 24?
Or hit from behind?
After James saw these suggestions, he actually felt a little unsure.
No confidence at all.
After all, posting up is an offensive skill that he is not that good at. He is okay as a role player. You said that for a period of time in the 2011-12 season, he ranked first in post-up field goal percentage from outside? First of all, it’s still the same sentence.
, James’ golf intelligence determines that he will optimize his shot selection at any time. Perhaps this is his innate talent and ability. Therefore, James’ post-up play mostly relies on role players, so you rarely see him in key situations.
He always beats the opponent with his back, unless the opponent is really much smaller than him. Furthermore, it is meaningless just to talk about one season. In fact, except for this season, his efficiency and shooting have dropped, which shows that the opponent has also discovered James'
This habit, with targeted arrangements and measures. James' post-up singles is not a hindrance in his skill set, but if you insist on saying that he is an excellent level, it is nonsense. Furthermore, the Heat have so many people to restrain him, and his being
The defensive pressure was already low, but after returning to the Cavaliers, his shooting percentage and efficiency dropped a lot. For example, in the 2015 playoffs, James ranked first in back-up shots from outside, with a total of 106 times. This is also due to the fact that he played more games, but
He only scores about 0.8 points per post-up play, which ranks in the middle of the entire league. To be more specific, it is 47.4%. There are more than half of the leagues that are better than him. What about the shooting rate? The post-up shooting rate is 46.3%, which is also in the middle.
Upstream level, but compared to his own basic scoring and shooting percentage, this has dropped a lot, so it is not considered an efficient method of James himself. Ha? You mean it? In fact, there is another most fatal problem.
That is to say, it is also a problem that countless James avoids, that is, no matter what state James' back is in, his turnover rate every time he is back is too high! The turnover rate of his back is as high as 15.1%!
What is the concept of this number? It’s terrifyingly high! Whether it’s an outside or inside back-up master, it’s almost rare that it exceeds 10%! Generally, it’s normal to control it between 5 and 6%!
Especially when he faces an opponent with good defensive ability, his back-up and turnover rate will increase significantly!
This is why James' post-up is often criticized. He has no problem playing a role player, but he is not outstanding as a single star and key player. Let's just list his and Kobe's post-up data, as of now
In 2013, Kobe and James had a total of 12 rounds of post-up offense and defense. During this period, Kobe posted up 6 times, made 5 attempts, and made 1 pass. In 5 attempts, he scored 3 goals against James, scoring 1 point per round, with a shooting percentage of about
It's 60%. What about James? He beat Kobe from behind 6 times, 5 of which resulted in shots. He only hit 1, scoring 0.33 points per round, and his shooting rate was as low as 20%.
This is the data from the 17 games between the two as of 2013. Now this Kobe is at his peak in all aspects. Both the offensive and defensive ends have been greatly improved. So do you think the data will be better or worse?
There is a reason why James is hesitant. After all, his statistics when playing behind Kobe are indeed not very good.
It is estimated that it will be even more difficult for Kobe to counterattack this season.
He knows this joint better than anyone else.
But the game will continue. On June 15th, US time, G5 of the finals will continue at the Heat's American Airlines Center.
This game is also the last home game for the Heat. If they cannot keep it, they will be eliminated directly.
Standing in this place, the entire Heat team feels an indescribable pressure.
After all, no one thought that the Lakers could still be so fierce and powerful without Nash. The Heat were also a little "feeling" due to the media's publicity. Now with a big score of 3-1, they
We are completely standing on the edge of the cliff. If we retreat again, we will be shattered.
Three consecutive dreams are broken.
But with the three consecutive championships ended, James actually has little confidence if he wants to come back again.
So catching up with Jordan has almost become a fantasy.
James was the least willing to accept this situation, so he publicly said before the game:
I’m.the.king.of.the.world!!!(I’m the king of the world!!!)
To.infinity.and.beyond!Miami!!!(Beyond the limit!Miami!!!)
&he.s!!!(We are the champions!!!)
This is not the first time that James has said this kind of motivational words. When he lost to the Mavericks in 2011, he also said a relatively classic saying: Now.or.Never, and then, he was slapped in the face by King Notre Dame.
So this time, the two Lakers couldn't help it anymore. Kobe said:
I only agree with his last sentence, well, we are the champions, we, Los Angeles, that's it. They are the runners-up.
Tang Qian also said:
James should thank his teammate Chris Bosh, otherwise he would have been able to produce any statistics in the finals. Because as you know, I am in the Lakers' interior.
No matter how you say it, no matter how you fight each other, you still have to compete to solve the problem in the end.
The winner is king.
Game 5 of the 2014 Finals begins.
