Chapter 367 The First Step of the Dynasty
总决赛G1，李恪出战32分钟，独得37分7个篮板4个助攻3个抢断1个盖帽。
Correspondingly, although the old driver's defense was outstanding, he also scored 34 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block on the offensive end.
The two are considered to be against Biao, but the difference is that for the Bobcats, Curry scored 29 points, Captain Jack and Jamison each scored 16 points.
Plus Wesley Matthews, Tucker, Jordan Jr. and Mo Jr. who scored as soon as they played.
The Bobcats went on the offensive and won the game...
As soon as the big man's offense came out in military training, almost everyone believed that there was no suspense in this year's finals.
"The pick-and-roll look for Dirk Nowitzki is too deadly for the Lone Ranger. Dirk, who should have been firmly protected by the Lone Ranger's team defense, was forced to be exposed to the firepower of the Bobcats."
"Sheldon teamed up with Stephen Curry and scored 66 points. The two protagonists who are the main players in this offense, the gorgeous data is enough to explain everything."
"Unless Rick Carlisle can find a defense that allows Dirk to play without being exposed to the Bobcats' offensive firepower, otherwise, this year's finals, we can shout in advance: Congratulations Charlotte Bobcats!"
Bill Simmons' column always likes to make a prediction that is both an afterthought and an afterthought when something is halfway through and not quite over.
So, most of the time, his predictions are accurate.
Most of the public opinion is on the side of Bill Simmons, and no one thinks that the Lone Ranger has a chance to come back.
"Beauty" Skip Bayless said more directly: "Dirk Nowitzki is indispensable to the Lone Ranger, because he is the core of the offense, averaging 30 points per game, but as long as he plays, he will also become a hidden danger for the Lone Ranger's defense..."
"There are pros and cons, and even the cons outweigh the pros. Now the Lone Ranger has nowhere to go."
……
In G2, the Lone Ranger insisted on the style of play in G1. They wanted to confront the Bobcats on the offensive end.
Rick Carlisle thought about it, since he can't solve the defense, then focus on offense, which is the only way.
Halfway through the first quarter, with a score of 18 to 16, the Lone Ranger was only 2 points behind, and it seemed to be a success.
But in the second half, Rivers directly replaced Jamison and put on Tucker to defend the old driver.
This one-handed substitution directly made the old driver who was already at ease on the offensive end uncomfortable.
The golden rooster is independent one after another, and it is no problem to score goals, but the problem is that every goal is a stunt, and the embarrassment of the old driver is already evident.
In the first half, with a score of 65 to 60, the Lone Ranger, who was only 5 points behind, could barely hold the score.
In the second half, the Lone Ranger persisted for half of the game, but in the end, due to physical problems, the offense and defense collapsed instantly, and the Bobcats opened the score gap to double digits.
The remaining fourth quarter, although not yet garbage time, is also equivalent to garbage time.
The Bobcats continued to suppress, and for the second consecutive game, the old driver who "offensively and defensively took on one shoulder" was exhausted and continued to hit the iron. It was Caron Butler, who was not injured and absent like in his previous life, who supported the Lone Ranger's final attack.
Speaking of supporting, in fact, it is to make the Lone Ranger not lose too badly.
They have been falling behind, and the gap in the score has been widening.
In the end, the four quarters ended, and the Bobcats, who continued to play at home in G2, defeated the Lone Ranger again with an advantage of 127 to 108 and 19 points.
Li Ke scored 38 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals. He is still the best player in the Bobcats.
"Another offensive battle, no different from the process of G1. The Bobcats suppressed the Lone Ranger and finally won the game!"
"With a total score of 2 to 0, the Bobcats completely took advantage."
"In the history of the NBA, a 2-0 lead in the finals was overturned, only three times, the Lakers in 1969, the 1977ers in 76, and... the Lone Ranger in 2006!"
"The Lone Ranger only has a history of being overturned. Perhaps this year they can use a comeback to wash away the history of humiliation five years ago..."
Mike Brin seemed to be joking, and he was indeed joking. Kenny Smith and Barkley beside him were shaking their heads.
Based on the offense played by the Bobcats in these two games, in this round of finals, it would be good for the Lone Ranger to win one game.
……
G3, the finals went to Dallas.
Rick Carlisle really can't stand the team's poor defense, and also believes that the continuous exposure of the driver to the opponent's offensive firepower may also seriously affect the efficiency of the driver on the offensive end.
Therefore, in this game, the Lone Ranger chose to use zone defense to curb the Bobcats' pick-and-roll to find a big man to attack.
The results are obvious...
The large open space exposed on the weak side in the zone defense gave Curry, Jamison, Lao Du who came off the bench, and Wesley Matthews a large number of open three-pointers.
One after another, the three-pointers hit the Lone Ranger's heart with precision.
33 to 27 in the first quarter, 67 to 55 in the half, and 100 to 73 at the end of the third quarter. The wild bombing of the Bobcats made Rick Carlisle belatedly realize that the zone defense would only empty the Bobcats' numerous and extremely accurate long-range shooters.
In the end, it was this group of shooters that killed the Lone Ranger who was playing at home in the G3 game.
相较之下，29分7个篮板6个助攻2个抢断1个盖帽的李恪，三战以来单场得分第一次低于30分。
The three-point rain of the Bobcats and the explosion of role players did not require Li Ke to work hard to score in singles.
After three games in the finals, the Bobcats lead the Lone Ranger 3-0 and have already won the match point.
Only one victory away, they will be able to win the championship.
……
In G4, the Lone Ranger gave up the zone defense and returned to the style of play in the first two games of the finals. It seemed that he had resigned to his fate.
As a result, under the support of the home whistle and with the help of a relaxed mind after accepting their fate, the Mavericks actually played the matchup they really wanted.
In the first half, the veteran driver faced Biao Li Ke with full firepower. All kinds of fouls made Jamison, Tucker and even Tajibson have to leave the field early, and the Lone Ranger also killed the score.
In the second half, there was another period of stalemate. At the end of the third quarter, I thought that the Lone Ranger would have the same physical crisis as in the previous two games, but the result——
Terry, Deshaun Stevenson, Caron Butler, Barea, and even the old driver, Ji Bugong, all hit three-pointers accurately.
With wave after wave of three-point rain, the Lone Ranger has established a winning situation.
In the end, they pulled back a victory at home, making the Bobcats' trophy plan had to be pushed back a game.
……
G5 is still the home of the Lone Ranger.
Bobcat, who knows that although it has a huge advantage, must not be delayed, decided to take the lead in making changes.
In the first quarter of the game, the Bobcats, who did not want to attack the Lone Ranger, formed a more defensive starting lineup, and Tucker replaced Jamison in the starting lineup.
In the matchup during the game, Tucker marked the driver, and Li Ke paid attention to assisting the driver while defending Marion.
The Bobcats in this game are going to start with defense and hold down the Lone Ranger's reversal.
The game in the first quarter was very successful. Although the old driver had the home whistle to help, under the attack of Li Ke's various defenses, even if there was a whistle, the referee couldn't blow it if the opponent didn't reach out.
that's it--
The old driver was trapped so that he could only have one golden rooster independent after another, and it was difficult for the lone ranger composed of Ji Bugong and Marion to help the old driver.
The Bobcats, who were bombarded wildly in the first four games, played an iron-blooded defense in this game. Kenny Smith said with emotion:
"The Bobcats, who suddenly switched from offense to defense, only scored 22 points against the Lone Ranger in the first quarter, but they themselves scored as many as 30 points relying on Sheldon's singles..."
30 to 22, leading by 8 points, the Bobcats played defensive basketball as they wished, and made persistent efforts in the second quarter.
Li Ke is the main defense, and Hua Lao Er, who came off the bench, assists in the defense. The old driver is still very difficult.
Fortunately, Terry and Caron Butler, who came off the bench, opened up the Lone Ranger's offensive firepower.
But for the Bobcats, Mo also broke out immediately. Barea could defend against LeBron scoring single digits, but he couldn't guard against the flexible and crazy Mo.
The Bobcats not only withstood the Lone Ranger's outburst with Mo Jiali Ke's outburst, but also slightly opened up the lead.
At halftime, with a score of 59 to 49, the Bobcats' lead stretched to double digits.
In the second half, Rick Carlisle knew he couldn't defend. He formed a triangle offensive combination of point guard Terry, shooting guard Caron Butler, and power forward veteran driver.
In addition, Marion played to protect the old driver, and the boxing champion protected the frame. In the second half, the Lone Ranger really stood up and fought back.
The old driver made all kinds of mid-range golden rooster independents, Terry made two three-pointers, and the Lone Ranger approached the lagging behind to 5 points.
Rivers felt the danger, and he felt more and more that the Bobcats must go all out in this game and make a quick decision.
However, he did not call a timeout or make adjustments because of the Lone Ranger's counterattack, but waited...
Soon, on the court, Li Ke stood up.
With Marion's defense, a wave of singles, scoring consecutively.
"After the situation became extremely embarrassing, Sheldon stepped forward. He was able to withstand Sean Marion's top single defense and succeeded in consecutive singles!"
"Scored 7 points in a row, and the Bobcats' lead was stretched to double digits again."
Rivers knew how critical this wave of singles was. The Bobcats got a respite and quickly dragged the game to the exhaustion period of the Lone Ranger.
The Bobcats' defense was completely expanded, forcing the Lone Ranger to play inside.
But they lack breakthrough players, and most of them are old, and in the final stage of the game, they are not very active.
bang, bang, bang...
The Lone Ranger hit the iron in a wave, and the Bobcats, Curry stood up and trained the old driver for several consecutive waves, scoring 6 points in a row.
The Bobcats' lead further stretched to 15 points...
At this point, there is not much suspense in the game.
At the end of the three quarters, the lead of 90 to 75 and 15 points was enough for the Bobcats to enter the decisive battle of the final quarter smoothly.
In the final quarter, the Bobcats did not want to delay.
So from the very beginning, Li Ke played consecutive singles against Sean Marion's defense.
The Lone Ranger, who had already fought his last battle, also held on, using a wave of singles from the old driver to continue their offense.
Even so, they died slowly.
Li Ke one after another, with a clear goal, only for the championship.
The old driver took one ball after another, and he had already written the word "best effort" on his face.
Five minutes later, the Bobcats led by 5 points.
After another three points, the Bobcats' lead remained at 14 points.
After another 2 minutes, the 15-point deficit had declared the death penalty for the Lone Ranger, but Rick Carlisle did not replace any of the main players.
In this way, the all-main Bobcats vs. all-main Mavericks finished the remaining 2 minutes of the game.
The red lights come on, the final timer beeps...
"The competition...finally...is over!"
"118 to 105, the Charlotte Bobcats won the fourth victory of the finals!"
"With a total score of 4 to 1, they defeated the Mavericks and became the NBA champions in the 2010-11 season!"
Ribbon fluttering, a cheer from the corner, Bobcats began to celebrate.
Captain Jack beat his chest and roared, Jamison rushed to the center of the court, bouncing around, Curry began to dance awkwardly, and finally, all the cameras and all eyes were on Li Ke.
But Li Ke, with his hips akimbo, stood calmly, neither sad nor happy, among the joyful crowd.
The atmosphere of winning the away game was indeed not that hot, but Li Ke's performance was a little too cold.
In the commentary seat, Barkley felt very strange, but Mike Breen let the camera follow Li Ke's gaze——
Soon, they saw the loser of the game, the Lone Ranger.
Jason Terry lowered his head, Dirk looked up at the scoreboard unwillingly, and old Kidd also stared blankly.
Rick Carlisle on the sidelines tried to comfort his players, but he didn't know how to speak.
Come again next year?This is the last chance for his group of players...
Li Ke's gaze was fixed on these old boys whose dreams had been shattered.
He felt it was a pity and it was cruel, but this is basketball, this is the NBA.
The moment he turned his head, Li Ke knew that his era had already begun.
About half an hour later, the American Airlines Center in Dallas was filled with Expedition Bobcats fans.
Amidst the cheers, Gerald Wallace won the O'Brien Cup on behalf of the team.
He expressed his speech full of tears: "I have been playing for this team since 2004. When I won the championship in 08, some people say that I am already a famous Bobcats, but I know that the reason why I will be a famous Bobcats is because the history of the Bobcats started in 04, which is too short."
"One O'Brien Trophy won't be enough if many, many years go by."
"So, I was eager to continue playing for the Bobcats, but last year..."
"I almost left Charlotte, it was Sheldon who made me stay..."
In Hua's second speech, he thanked Li Ke from the bottom of his heart.
Li Ke turned around and hugged the Bobcat captain.
接着，大卫·斯特恩宣布，五场比赛场均35.4分6.6个篮板5.2个助攻2.6个抢断1.0个盖帽的李恪，成为了2010-11赛季总决赛MVP！
Li Ke took over the FMVP trophy from Bill Russell, and then he announced into the microphone amidst cheers:
"This is Charlotte's second championship. In four years, we won the championship twice. Some people may think it's a pity. The interval between the two championships is two years. We are not a dynasty, but what I want to say is..."
"Dynasty? It starts now, doesn't it?"
Dynasty, this is the first step!
