Chapter 394: Stone Buddha bullied by sharks in those years

, The fastest update, I’m so accurate in shooting the latest chapter!
"Do you like playing the Spurs or the Suns?"
The Lakers were preparing for the conference semifinals. After the training session on that day, Sun Hao and O'Neal sat and chatted again.
"Spurs."
O'Neill gave his own answer.
Sun Hao gave him a puzzled look.
"With the Suns, it's more comfortable inside than playing the Nuggets."
Sun Hao continued.
For the sake of speed, the Suns directly let Stoudemire play center.
Don't think Stoudemire is nicknamed "Little Overlord", it sounds more domineering than "Little Emperor", but the defense of others is weak.
If the Suns really used him to play center against the Lakers, then there is only one sentence to describe the scene: I hit your shit, I hit you in the shit, and finally hit you with your shit. !
And even if the Suns don't use Stoudemire as center, no one on the Suns can hold O'Neal.
Steven Hunter, Jack Voskul... these names you may not have heard of are far worse than the Nuggets’ three big insiders.
"No, no, I don't want to follow them all over the court, that's too tired."
But O'Neal's next words are very true.
Even if the Lakers have the strength to beat the Suns, it is impossible for the Lakers to score every round in the game.
When you can't make it, you have to run back and forth with the Suns at high speed.
That intensity is much more than Phil Jackson asked him to train.
After confirming his eyes, this guy is a complete "lazy".
So in contrast, he is more willing to play with the Spurs who like to play positional warfare.
Moreover, O'Neill's subsequent words made Sun Hao unable to refute.
"It's the same as anyone, Darrell Stoudemire and Tim Duncan, it doesn't make much difference to me."
There is no difference between Stoudemire and Duncan, and O'Neal is probably the only one who dares to speak like this!
"But the two guys outside San Antonio have become much stronger, and they won't be so good in the subsequent games."
O'Neill added seriously after pretending to be forced.
The words he said in the first round made people feel a bit blind and arrogant at first.
But actually, this guy is smart.
He was able to say that because he knew that the strength of the two sides was very different, and he said that there was no face slapped or something.
But the Spurs are different. He knows that to belittle such an opponent is to dig his own grave.
All of this has to start with the 1995 finals.
He will remember the experience of defeating Michael Jordan that year but being swept by Houston in the Finals.
Sun Hao nodded seriously after listening.
O'Neal could think so, he was relieved.
Originally, when Phil Jackson said that the Suns had a chance, he didn't think it was impossible.
But it turns out that this Spurs team is stronger than everyone else.
The Lakers, even if he and O'Neal have the advantage of two point matchups, there is still no easy win.
As the media reported exaggeratedly, this is a collision of galaxies within the Milky Way.
As for who will win in the end, no one knows.
And for Sun Hao, the Spurs are also his opponents that he is so familiar with.
In the first few years of his career, he has been fighting the Spurs.
Now in the first year of the Lakers, I met again.
Well, either Duncan said to him "The future is yours", or he preemptively said to Duncan "It's mine now" the game.
It will be very exciting.
...
Two days later, with the fans' expectations, the division semifinals of the Wizards and Celtics in the East, the Lakers and Spurs in the West officially started.
As before, the Eastern Conference time is earlier and the game is played earlier.
The Wizards and the Celtics are the old enemies of the two teams, plus Yao Ming and Gasol, the two top insiders in the same session, and their encounters are a lot to see.
However, it can be clearly felt during the game that the Wizards are better than the Celtics.
In the end, the Wizards established their advantage from the opening and led the way to win the game.
97 to 81, although the Wizards' play under the guidance of Jeff Van Gundy lacks appreciation, but the players perform their duties and their strength is not bad.
In history, the Houston team under Van Gundy's rule has always been a team in contention.
It's just that the team hasn't found a strong role player in those years, and when it found Yao Mai, it was injured one after another, so it didn't show up in the end.
Now history has changed, Yao Mai is still Yao, but they have high-quality role players such as Hamilton, LaFrenz, Alexander and so on.
Just as fans expect in the All-Star Game, this year's Finals really has a chance to stage a Wizards play against the Lakers.
That's exciting.
Of course, that's just the expectations of the fans, at least here in the West, the Lakers want to pass the Spurs level, there is still a big unknown.
The first game of the series was still held at the Staples Center.
The Lakers' record ranks first in the Western Conference and the league. They have home court advantage over all teams in the playoffs.
The Staples Center is full of attendance.
After sweeping the Nuggets, the expectations of Los Angeles fans for the Lakers also soared.
Although they are against the strong team Spurs, they still have confidence in the team.
Including the Lakers boss Sr. Buss also came to the scene!
Bass said at the beginning that he would go to the scene to watch Sun Hao play. He has never been unwell before. He has come on such an important occasion as the semi-final opener!
When warming up before the game, the on-site photographer gave a shot of Old Bath in the box, which caused cheers on the scene.
Including the Lakers players on the court, all felt encouraged after seeing this scene.
After the opening ceremony, the starters of the two teams have appeared one after another.
The Spurs, with Parker and Ginobili on the outside, Bowen and Duncan on the front, and center Rasou Nestorovic.
Ginobili has been starting in the regular season this season, and Popovich did not make adjustments in the playoffs.
Nestorovic is the starting center of the Timberwolves.
After his career-best performance in the Timberwolves last season, he was awarded to the Spurs with a six-year, 42 million contract last summer.
On the Lakers side, Phil Jackson continued to use the starting lineup of the playoffs, but with a slight difference, tonight Finley played small forward and Christie played shooting guard.
The intention of this adjustment can't be clearer, this is to let Christie go to match Ginobili.
Christie's opponent in the first game with the Lakers was the Spurs, and his defense against Ginobili was also very good in that game.
So although this adjustment is small, it also makes fans look forward to the game more.
There is a small detail before the game.
In the previous two matches, Parker, Sun Hao's little fan, would come over to say hello.
But today he didn't do that either.
I don't know if it was the All-Star game that the button made Parker have a temper.
The game began immediately, the two teams debuted, O'Neal pressed Nestorovic to return the ball to the Lakers halftime, officially kicking off the game.
Like the previous first-round play, the Lakers will play O'Neal first.
After Sun Hao hoisted the ball in, O'Neal hit Nesterovic with his back.
Nestorovic is a Slovenian, with tall arms and outstanding performance.
Spurs fans at this time kindly called him "Ouchi" and considered him the most suitable insider to partner with Duncan in addition to "Admiral" David Robinson.
In fact, Nestorovic's confrontation is indeed possible, a typical big white bear.
"boom!"
There was a muffled noise in the first confrontation between the two. This was a complete duel of power.
Then... Nestorovic was taken a big step back.
Obviously, despite being given high hopes by Spurs fans, he still doesn't look enough in front of the "playoff sharks".
In fact, in the current league, such a one-on-one frontal can hold him a bit, except for Yao Ming and Dampier, there may not be a third one.
After driving off Nestorovic, O'Neal did not perform a vigorous abuse of the frame, but just a light little hook to send the ball into the basket.
It can be seen that after playing in the Denver Plateau, the Sharks also realized that their physical fitness is not comparable to when they were young.
And just like what he said to Sun Hao before the game, he had foreseen that the game with the Spurs would be difficult, so he saved as much energy as possible in the opening game.
Of course, dunks and small hooks, as long as they can send the ball into the basket, the effect is actually the same.
The Lakers took the lead.
Looking back, the Spurs were organized by Parker.
In the regular season, in addition to competing for rankings, it is also a competition for teams to test their strengths.
The All-Star Game Spurs and Lakers lost both games, and Christie's role is obvious.
Popovich has gained a lot of wisdom, and realized that it is not feasible to launch an offense from Ginobili as in other games, so he changed.
In fact, the Spurs' ability to easily defeat the Suns in the first round is also related to their "dual point guard" lineup.
Ginobili's off-ball running on the flanks restrained the defense, and Duncan went down after the pick and roll.
Although Popovich at this time has not specifically studied what "hammer tactics" are, the Spurs offensive system is actually much richer than before.
If this weren't the case, they wouldn't be able to attack the Suns in the first round.
Parker passed the ball tacitly to Duncan.
Duncan is a step forward to catch the ball...wait!
O'Neal appeared on Duncan's dunk route!
O'Neal couldn't get out after getting fat, and the defensive area was reduced to the three-second zone.
But in this area, he is still the overlord of the restricted area!
Duncan's shot after the confrontation...went out of the basket!
In fact, the Spurs' inside partner is very interesting. Nesterovic has a certain strength when confronting other centers, and Duncan suppresses almost all opponents in strength.
But only if they met O'Neal, neither of them worked!
O'Neal showed flexibility that was not part of his size, blocked Duncan and turned around to grab a defensive rebound.
The Spurs' first wave of offense failed!
However, the Spurs still retained their defense while enhancing their offense. This time they retreated very quickly and did not give the Lakers a direct quick break.
Turn into the battle, Sun Hao, continue to give the ball to O'Neal!
In the third and fourth games of the Nuggets, due to O'Neal's physical fitness, Sun Hao's shots increased a lot from the previous two games, and his score also increased.
But to be honest, he still prefers to hang the ball to O'Neal.
It's not that he has a low desire to score, but that it is so easy to play!
Watching O'Neal take the ball and deprive others on the inside, is it uneasy?
Sun Hao really didn't move what was thinking in Kobe's head.
When O'Neal is double-teamed, won't he save energy when he receives the ball easily from the outside and scores? It has to be so difficult.
Nestorovic was once again driven away by O'Neal.
O'Neal’s current weight and strength, even if you are a European white bear, he is not good at it!
This time O'Neal scored a light scratch.
The tiger came out of the cage and sniffed the rose.
These eight words describe O'Neal's performance cannot be more accurate.
4 to 0!
O'Neal scored 4 points in a row!
Sun Hao said that he played a little effortlessly.
Nestlovic received a sudden point from Parker in the frontcourt, hit a mid-range shot, and scored the first 2 points for the Spurs.
Being able to carry and shoot may be why Spurs fans love this insider so much.
After returning to the defensive end, O'Neal continued to receive the ball.
Only this time, the defender is no longer Nestorovic, but Duncan!
After being hit so consistently in the opening game, Popovich couldn't make any adjustments.
O'Neill, lower his weight and go on chiseling.
What he said to Sun Hao before was not a joke, Duncan and Stoudemire, there is not much difference between him on the defensive end.
Just chisel it.
Duncan... said he couldn't bear it.
A big fat man who weighs you bigger, is taller than you, and is so flexible that he can't lose to you, how do you play!
His suppressed center of gravity couldn't get up a bit, O'Neill grabbed this, and then turned around to wipe the board.
Duncan, can't cover it.
"boom!"
The ball bounced back to the basket after rubbing the backboard.
It's a pity that Duncan's defense still played a role in interference. O'Neal's shot did not go directly into the frame, but knocked out of the frame after hitting the edge of the basket.
Duncan was about to turn around to collect this defensive rebound~EbookFREE.me~ Then, he felt a cloud of dark shadows crushing over his head.
When you think O'Neal's weight has made him unable to fly, and the opening hooks have proved this, it means you have lost.
In the exclamation of the fans on the scene, O'Neal missed a shot, and directly took off twice and dunked the ball into the basket through Duncan!
Sun Hao, his eyes were straight.
There is one thing to say, he has always believed that Duncan is the greatest power forward in NBA history, not one of them.
The 20-year rookie of the Spurs, Stone Buddha, is the absolute cornerstone and has absolute dominance in the NBA.
But it is obvious that one thing is that if the Spurs don't play O'Neal, I am the first insider Duncan, and I meet his only nemesis.
The Stone Buddha, who was bullied by sharks in those years, was displayed in front of Sun Hao alive.
