1, Kobe's absolute dominance on the court
Speaking of Kobe Bryant's performance in this series, I believe many fans are still disgusted with his inefficient performance in G7, and even repeated the tragedy of John starks. Yes, Kobe wants to win so badly. He wants to cut his old rival, who won nearly 40 points in the 2008 finals. Fortunately, Kobe's performance in rebounding and free throw line helped the team and brought this hard-won victory. Except for the last game, Kobe Bryant has been the Lakers' number one firepower in previous games. Kobe averaged 28.6 points and 8 rebounds in this series, which completely suppressed ray allen in this series. Defending ray allen only surrendered a three-point shooting percentage far below the regular season. It is no exaggeration to say that without Kobe Bryant, the Lakers would not even touch the floor of the Western Conference.
2. The Lakers' role players played well.
Although the Lakers are not as luxurious as the Celtics, other Lakers players are not afraid of each other on the court. In this series, Gasol changed his previous soft demeanor and adopted a more aggressive offensive posture on the court, averaging 18.6+ 1 1.6, propping up the Lakers' inside line when he lost Bynum, and becoming the second largest player in the Lakers. On the other hand, Ci Shiping and Fisher played a steady role and contributed their strength as always. Vujacic on the bench made two free throws at the last crucial moment of the series, which kept the team winning, and Odom's occasional epiphany could also open up the situation for the team. The whole team United and won the championship trophy.
3. The team pays attention to defense.
There has always been a saying in the league that defense wins the championship. The two teams in the finals are both top defensive teams in the league, but in terms of staffing, the Lakers' ability to fight alone is even better. Celtic's defense relies more on Garnett's half-court sweeping defense, while Pierce and ray allen are not good at defense. The Lakers and Kobe Bryant have been chosen as the first defense for several seasons in a row, and there is no doubt about the defensive end. Ci Shiping had a DPOY resume before, and this series has been fighting wits with Pierce, which made Pierce very unhappy. Although Bynum's offense in the inside was prolonged, the defensive end provided a lot of help, which together with Gasol limited Garnett's play. Qi Xin, together with Qi Xin, pulled down the offensive firepower on which the Celtics depended, thus winning the series.
It is these factors, together with the icing on the cake of role players, that have helped the team to continue its life. It is the 16 championship trophy in the history of the Lakers. At the same time, this series has become a swan song, and it is impossible for the NBA to have such a finals.
