Chapter 263
The time came to mid-June, that is, on June 6, the last NBA game ended.
The Pistons defeated the Lakers 100:87 and successfully crowned the new king with a big score of 4:1.
This season's NBA champion Detroit Pistons, a true civilian champion.
As for the FMVP, it is still won by Billups. As the core and key player of the team, he has this qualification.
Is it surprising?
It is indeed surprising, after all, for the vast majority of fans, they are more optimistic about the Lakers.
This has nothing to do with personal preference, but a pure comparison of strength. The Lakers have a huge advantage.
The OK combination, plus the Big Four of Karl Malone and Gary Payton, really has no reason to lose.
However, the Pistons surprised everyone from the very beginning of the finals.
While grabbing a victory, it also allowed the Pistons to establish a huge advantage.
Because the current NBA Finals game system is 2-3-2, under such circumstances, it is slightly beneficial to the visiting team.
Because of three consecutive home games, especially in the case of grabbing an away game, the Pistons have a great advantage.
However, even at that time, I believe most people still think that the Lakers can get back.
Even, even the Lakers think so.
However, the Pistons quickly achieved a huge 3:1 advantage at home. At this time, many people recalled it.
The Lakers are going to suffer!
The same is true of the fact that the Pistons finally took away the victory 4:1 and the championship.
The reputation of the civilian champion spread like wildfire, and Larry Brown finally got his wish.
Of course, there is good news in this, which should be considered good news for fans from other countries.
That is, Larry Brown has long been determined to become the head coach of the US men's basketball team and compete in the Olympics.
This is indeed good news for all countries in the world, and the Olympic gold medal is beckoning to them.
As for the Lakers, the Lakers with the Big Four actually lost, which is absolutely unacceptable to Lakers fans.
In fact, it's not just the Lakers fans who can't accept it, many basketball fans can't figure it out.
If something goes wrong, someone has to take the blame, Kobe, come out to me.
This is not Chen Mo's chaos, let's talk about data.
Including the two teams, after 5 games, the highest scoring average is O'Neal, averaging 26.6 points per game.
In addition, O'Neal has 10.8 rebounds and 25+10 data. You can't say that he doesn't play well.
The one with the most shots is Kobe, averaging 22.6 shots per game, which is exactly 22.6 points.
With so many shots, he averaged only 8.6 goals per game, and his shooting percentage was only 38%, less than 4%.
There are also three-pointers. Kobe has to shoot close to five three-pointers per game, but his shooting percentage is only 5%.
Of course, this is not entirely Kobe's fault, but a problem with the team's tactics.
The entire Lakers team, especially the starters, except for Kobe, really no one else can shoot three-pointers.
Devin George is soy sauce, and Gary Payton's three-pointer is less reliable than Kobe.
Under such circumstances, in order to open up space inside, Kobe had to shoot more three-pointers.
Of course, Kobe did play poorly in this round of the series.
Don't compare with others, just compare with opponents, Billups, who is the core of the Pistons' outside line.
Billups averaged 21 points per game, only 1.6 points less than Kobe, but only half of Kobe's shots, 11.4 times.
Statistics cannot be deceived. In terms of statistics alone, this is indeed Kobe's worst performance in the Finals.
A reporter reported the gossip. It is said that even in the finals, Kobe was still fighting for the ball with O'Neal.
If you win, then everything is easy to say.
But now that the game is lost, Kobe is naturally criticized, not only by the media, but also by the fans.
Not only Los Angeles fans, but fans of other teams have also accused Kobe of wanting to be the team boss without strength.
The Lakers fans accused Kobe, and they were naturally outraged. After all, watching the championship miss, no one feels good.
As for the fans of other teams, it is estimated that they want Kobe to be traded, it is best to trade to their team, and then he successfully joins 60 billion.
The dust of the finals has settled, but the NBA at this time is full of turmoil and even smoke.
Because everyone realizes that the OK group is bound to fall apart, and the big shark is about to leave.
After winning the Sharks, the team has the cornerstone to enter the finals, and no one can refuse.
I heard that the Heat are also moving quickly, and Miami is also fighting for the Sharks.
Even O'Neal has a good attitude towards the Heat.
The reason is very simple, O'Neal will not accept the weak team, he will continue to compete for the championship.
The current lineup of the Heat is quite good. Once O'Neal joins, he will definitely have the strength to compete for the championship.
In fact, not only the Heat, but also the Nets, Cavaliers, Bulls and other teams are all very interested in O'Neal.
Of course, if you want to get O'Neal, it's not just O'Neal who agrees, but also the Lakers.
This is also the reason why Western Conference teams rarely appear. The Lakers will not subsidize opponents in the same district unless it is a last resort.
Especially for a dominant player like O'Neal, the team the Lakers choose to trade will only be the Eastern Conference.
Also, what can the Lakers get?
Although the Lakers took the initiative to choose to keep Kobe and let O'Neal go, the transaction value of the Sharks is still very high.
Of course, it must not be compared with the normal situation.
Sending O'Neal away friendly and letting him go to the team he is willing to join is also a friendly breakup.
After all, the establishment of the Lakers dynasty was built by O'Neal himself, which is a respect for the meritorious players.
If you really want to make trouble, it will only greatly reduce the Lakers' impression points, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Moreover, there is only one year left on O'Neal's contract, which is where the value of the deal is greatly reduced.
What's more, O'Neill's salary next year will be as high as 2700 million yuan, which is a lot of money.
Without enough salary space, there is no way to get O'Neal. After all, the team will not only have O'Neal.
Chen Mo just learned about these things, and he couldn't know more detailed information.
In addition to O'Neal, Karl Malone and Gary Payton both signed with the Lakers for only one year.
That said, other teams have every chance of wooing them.
Obviously, Malone and Payton want a championship, and their goal of joining is also concentrated here, that is, the team has strength.
The Heat are very active in contacting Gary Payton, hoping to let him reinforce the Heat's weaker point guard line.
Even, there are already Heat fans enjoying the lineup of Chen Mo + O'Neal + Payton.
Of course, this idea is good, but it is not so easy to implement it.
After all, although the Lakers are willing to reconcile with O'Neal, they don't want to see O'Neal win the championship immediately.
Especially when the Lakers can't see hope next year, O'Neal immediately won the championship again.
What does this mean?
The Lakers themselves are blind!
