Chapter 415: This city needs you!

, The fastest update, I’m so accurate in shooting the latest chapter!
"No one, no one can do something crazier than this!"
Barkley's exclamation in the commentary is still going on, the sentence "tonight is God" seems to be far from enough for him.
Smith on the side wanted to remind that "Jordan once did a miracle of scoring 23 points in a row in the playoffs", but that doesn't seem right, because Jordan's continuous scoring is not at the beginning.
Buckley's statement this time is well-founded and convincing.
And the score on the field, 7 to 19!
The Pistons played for more than five minutes, and they are 12 points behind the Lakers!
This is the biggest difference in non-junk time between the two teams since the finals!
Sun Hao dominated the game by himself.
Someone might say that this is just the beginning. The basketball game lasts for 48 minutes, and the 12-point difference is nothing in the NBA.
This looks okay, but it's not quite right, because it depends on the situation.
When the two teams are evenly matched, the 12-point difference is not small, not to mention that this is the beginning of the century, and this year's finals can be called a defensive battle.
And to gain this advantage in the opening game is a great blow to the Pistons' defensive mentality.
And the psychological advantage the Lakers have established with it.
Anthony held the ball in the front court and changed his shot to a breakthrough.
This adjustment is very effective. Ariza's long arm is less effective in preventing breakthroughs than shooting, and his young defensive experience is relatively poor.
Comparing Ariza and Prince is the expectation of Lakers fans, but Prince only has one.
Anthony broke through Ariza's defense and saw O'Neal coming over and quickly hit the board.
The choice of this ball is correct.
But at this moment, a figure leapt over from the weak side and covered his shot with a slap on the backboard!
Michael Finley!
Don't think I am really an honest person!
After O'Neal scored the rebound, the Lakers played a fast break. Sun Hao was double-teamed in the fast break and scored the ball to Ariza who followed up on the right.
Ariza stopped the ball outside the three-point line, took aim and then shot.
"Huh!"
He made up for it and hit a three-pointer!
Not only Sun Hao, but not just an instant kill combination. After establishing a psychological advantage, the role players of the Lakers have begun to perform well!
This has also become the decisive factor in this battle of Tianwang Mountain.
The anxious situation predicted by the fans did not appear. Under the leadership of Sun Hao, the Lakers gained an advantage in the opening game and continued to expand this advantage.
At the end of the third quarter, they had already stretched the score to 20 points!
Although the Pistons tried to counterattack in the last quarter, the reality is just like Barkley described. God is on the side of the Lakers. Instead of shrinking the score, it is getting bigger and bigger.
In the end, the Lakers beat the Pistons 101-71 in the away game at Tianwangshan.
After winning this game, they not only achieved a 3 to 2 lead in a big score, but more importantly, they have a psychological advantage.
The unbreakable defense of the Pistons was completely broken this time by them.
This allows them to return to Los Angeles with incredible confidence to play the sixth game.
Sun Hao is undoubtedly the biggest contributor to the victory tonight, and he fought the strongest battle of his career.
He scored 19 points in the opening game, and contributed 24 points in the first quarter and 45 points in three quarters!
If it wasn't the garbage time in the last quarter, he would have won the first 50+ of his career in the Finals.
But 45 points in three quarters of the Finals is unique in NBA history.
You know, even Jordan, the highest score in the finals is only 55 points.
Many people may be curious about the highest score, and Elgin Baylor’s 61 points are the worst in history.
After the game, the Lakers, who already knew the result, shook hands with the Pistons and walked toward the locker room with ease.
Sun Hao did not leave in a hurry. He waited on the court for a while, and when Scarlett came down, he kissed Scarlett in front of the media.
Sun Hao, O'Neill and Phil Jackson attended the press conference after the game.
"A great victory, an outstanding performance, does your performance have anything to do with Scarlett's presence?"
The cameraman gave Scarlett the lens before the game, and the kiss between Sun Hao and Scarlett after the game made it difficult for reporters to ask.
"Of course, her presence at the game is a huge encouragement to me."
Sun Hao's answer caused everyone on the scene to be fed a wave of dog food.
"I will buy all away tickets for Scarlett next season."
At this moment, O'Neill suddenly picked up the microphone in front of him and said.
"This way we will be invincible on the road."
In the curious eyes of others, he added.
Well, what Phil Jackson thought about during the game, O'Neal thought of with him, and told him in advance.
This remark also caused everyone on the scene to laugh.
"Don't ask me why I'm just away, there are Scarlett's exclusive seats in the Staples Center."
Moreover, O'Neill added some enviable applause in this laughter.
Because of Sun Hao, this is really the Lakers' favorite Scarlett.
At the end of the press conference, Sun Hao and O'Neal walked towards the locker room together.
"When are you going to marry Scarlett?"
O'Neill asked Sun Hao.
The story of Scarlett and Sun Hao was exposed by the media when Scarlett appeared frequently in the National Airline Center Arena.
Not to mention acquaintances, even if they formally communicate, it has been more than three years now.
After all, he and his wife Xiangni had never realized that they had been dating for only four years.
Love can’t be talked about for too long. After a long talk, marriage will eventually become a formality.
"Soon."
Sun Hao said with a smile.
"I have a suggestion. If we can win the championship, it will be cool if you propose on the night of the championship."
O'Neal's thinking has always been very active, and what he said is what he wanted to do and did not do.
Sun Hao glanced at O'Neal after listening.
When Scarlett came with a diamond ring before, what he thought was that he would use the championship ring to propose marriage when the championship ring was issued for the opening game of next season.
Imagine replacing a diamond ring with a championship ring. The unprecedented approach will definitely make sense.
But what O'Neill said is also a plan.
After all, the intersection of Scarlett and basketball is also because of him. The meaning of the championship ring is to some extent not as good as the special moment of the night of the championship.
Two options, choose one of the two.
O'Neill saw Sun Hao's reaction, and knew what he had said he listened to, he reached out and patted Sun Hao on the shoulder.
"I look forward to seeing that scene."
Sun Hao nodded after listening.
These two plans span the entire offseason, but there is a common prerequisite: the Lakers have to win this year's championship.
After an 8-day away trip, the Lakers returned to Los Angeles with a score of 3 to 2.
There are still two days before the start of the sixth game, but the Los Angeles media have not been idle for a moment, they have forgotten Sun Hao.
With 19 points in the opening game and 45 points in three quarters, what Sun Hao has done is not chasing after Jordan, but has already surpassed.
It is a pity that Sun Hao does not have Yang, otherwise he would get a new nickname full of metaphysics.
Coupled with O'Neal's recognition of Sun Hao's leadership status, it is not only the media, but the city of Los Angeles that is blowing Sun Hao.
You can see new graffiti on the streets of Los Angeles. It is clear that Sun Hao shot a three-pointer or dunked.
You can even see Sun Hao tattooed on many cars.
Basketball is not the number one sport in the United States, but it is in Los Angeles.
"Los Angeles's darling" is the best description of Sun Hao now.
It can even be expected that if Sun Hao helps the Lakers win another championship, his influence in Los Angeles will reach an unprecedented level.
The sixth game of the finals is highly anticipated.
The fans were very excited when they entered the field in the evening, and many fans even wore the championship jerseys that the Lakers had won.
"We will win the championship trophy tonight!"
"Los Angeles will usher in a new era of basketball!"
"We have G6 grandchildren, we will definitely win tonight's game!"
...
Just like what the fans said, Sun Hao of G6 has never disappointed. They are not only confident in this championship, but also in the team's victory tonight.
The Lakers players were calm.
They still remember the speech that O'Neal gave before the fifth game against the Mavericks.
Before finally winning the game, despising your opponent will only be digging your own grave.
Before the game, as the players were making their final preparations in the locker room, a commotion came from the door.
When they all looked up at the door, they were a little surprised by the people who appeared.
Those who came in were Kupchak and Old Bath.
Old Buss' physical health is worse than before, but his face is blushing now.
It can be seen that he is in a good mood now.
He first came in and shook hands with Phil Jackson, then walked to O'Neill and Sun Hao respectively, and took the initiative to chat with them.
"Is Scarlett coming tonight?"
And what Old Buss asked Sun Hao made the team members laugh.
Sun Hao was also embarrassed by the old Buss, and smiled and nodded.
"In my life, the Lakers are the proudest part of me. They used to be and are now."
After greeting Sun Hao, Old Buss turned his head and looked around the opening of the locker room.
He obviously came with a mission tonight.
"You may not know how much the loss last year has affected this team. The whole league is waiting to see the jokes. They will say,'Look, Los Angeles is finally over.' Even I think the team will have a torment. During the reconstruction period, but your performance has beaten everyone, including me, not like that, Los Angeles will still be the championship team."
Sun Hao nodded as he listened, first because he heard Old Buss come to the locker room to say this for the first time; second, what Old Buss said was really fine, especially for him as a traveler.
In history, the Lakers fell apart after the F4 failure. Although the old Buss used the phrase "child, I'm sorry, I can only give you so much according to the regulations, but I hope you can understand that I really want to give you more" and keep Kobe behind. In Los Angeles, but after the Lakers is a long period of reconstruction and sinking.
Even during that time, the Lakers could only rely on Kobe to keep their final dignity as a giant.
If it weren't for the subsequent robbery-style transaction to trade Gasol, I don't know how long that situation will last.
But last summer Buss brought Sun Hao to the Lakers, and everything has changed dramatically.
If the Lakers can really win the championship this year, the Lakers will not be discussing the rebuilding period, but how many championships the instant kill combination can win, and whether they can help the Lakers complete the victory against the Celtics. The number of championships is overtaken.
In current historical statistics, the Celtics rank first among all NBA teams with 16 championships, while the Lakers have only 14.
"You have demonstrated the qualities that all championships I know should have, and the opponents you defeated are all teams ranked in history. Now you know the last step is left, and I look forward to seeing you complete it. Scene."
Because of those backgrounds he said himself, he could totally hear the expectation of this championship.
"When I came here just now, Mickey told me that you usually use a unique way to boost morale."
Old Buss said he clenched his fist and raised it forward.
There was a cry in the locker room, and the players all stood up one after another, and then moved the ball closer to Old Buss' hand.
Old Buss took them to shout slogans in person, which is really meaningful.
"Lakers championship!"
Including Phil Jackson also rarely came over at this time.
Everyone's fists touched together, and then they shouted out the most exciting words.
Tonight, they will be champions!
The Staples Center is already full of attendance, and fans look at the locker room door from time to time, looking a little impatient.
When the Lakers players appeared at the player passageway, there was a burst of cheers.
Their champion, it's here!
Stern also appeared at the Staples Center.
When the finals reach the match point, it means that there may be a championship award ceremony, and he will come naturally.
But sharp-eyed fans will find that Stern is missing a person.
Adam Mosaic, who had been following him in the past, disappeared, leaving only Tatum and another assistant.
But this change is only clear to the insiders of NBA headquarters.
Because there are always conflicts in opinions with Stern, and Tatum is more and more used by Stern, Mosaic feels that his future is slim and has left the NBA and went to the NFL.
This kind of personnel changes are not uncommon in the American sports world. The executives of several major sports leagues will change personnel from time to time.
Sun Hao didn't understand, if he knew, he would definitely laugh.
Mosaic, who succeeded Stern in history, ruined the NBA seven or eighty-eight. Turning his head to scourge the NFL is completely a matter of great popularity!
Of course, he has no time to pay attention to these at this time.
When he entered the arena, he carefully put a box in a bag under the bench and told the staff behind him to look after it.
He has made the final choice for those two plans.
After the warm-up, the scene quickly entered the opening ceremony.
Both teams have used the starting lineup from the previous game.
After the opening ceremony, both teams started to debut one after another, and the sixth game of the finals was about to start.
"beep!"
With the referee's whistle, O'Neal dialed the ball back to the Lakers half, and the finals' G6 was officially launched!
In the first round, Sun Hao and Malone played a pick-and-roll, and Prince and Rashid both attacked Sun Hao.
This approach illustrates one thing: After experiencing the last game, Brown has acquiesced that Prince could not prevent Sun Hao.
So in the opening game, he gave Sun Hao a double VIP double-team package.
Sun Hao is definitely the first one to make this historic defensive Pistons team do this.
Sun Hao divided the ball to Malone, and Malone broke through the basket with the ball.
However, the Pistons took a more aggressive defensive attitude than ever before. Anthony, who was on the weak side, was surprised to interfere with Malone's shots.
And when Malone's shot hit the frame, Big Ben struggled to jam O'Neal and asked Anthony to collect the defensive rebound.
Even Rashid has returned to the basket with his long arms extended. Even if Anthony can't get it, he is confident enough to protect this defensive rebound.
When the Mavericks were forced into desperation, Kobe and Nowitzki showed their best form, and the Pistons are now the entire team!
At this moment, O'Neal took a sigh of relief and slammed into his own big ben. After taking off, he directly deducted the score through the big ben!
"Boom!"
The entire basket was shocked.
Rashid is too late to grab it!
There was a sudden burst of cheers on the scene.
O'Neal's opening performance was in line with what they expected!
After the last slaughter of the Pistons, they wanted to see the Lakers win the game in one go!
"Huh!"
Looking back, Anthony singled Ariza head-on, and there was also an emergency stop after the breakthrough!
Just like McGrady broke Prince’s defense and Sun Hao broke Prince’s defense, Anthony finally broke Ariza’s defense in the most critical game!
Although Anthony's ability is relatively slightly worse, Ariza's defense is also worse than Prince!
Sun Hao was double-teamed again. This time he did not give the ball to Malone, but directly to O'Neal.
O'Neal jumped up to catch the ball and leaned his back against Big Ben. Before Anthony came to defend him, he turned around and made a small hook shot!
When O'Neal started to use technology without power, Big Ben seemed very helpless.
To say that he can defend O'Neal alone is actually a force against that, and the rest is winning.
O'Neal is restricted more still to rely on Rashid's help.
It's a pity that Sun Hao and Ma Long played a pick-and-roll, and Rashid went to pinch Sun Hao.
Anthony, a three-threat, took the washing machine and passed Ariza to the basket, and shot after confrontation with O'Neal.
Compared with Kobe, Anthony is stronger in physical confrontation, and his success rate in scoring against this basket is also higher.
"boom!"
But it turns out that Anthony was thinking a little bit. After O'Neal knocked him out of focus, he reached out and fanned the ball out of the field with a blow.
brutal!
In the opening attack and defense, I don't know whether it was the match point or the old Buss's remarks in the locker room before the game. O'Neal opened the game in such a good state.
The old Buss in the VIP box kept laughing.
Looking at the big sharks still raging, he felt in a daze that he was back a few years ago when he was still "young".
The Pistons sent a sideline ball, and Anthony missed the ball.
Kobe has only one, the kind of "you risk you, I vote for me" not everyone can do it.
O'Neal took off the defensive rebound under the double Wallace double-team, then turned around to throw the two directly away.
The state of O'Neal at the opening is definitely the best since the series.
Well, Sun Hao and O'Neal had a pick-and-roll in the frontcourt. After the opening, Sun Hao caught the ball. O'Neal sharks out of the water and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand.
The atmosphere at the scene has exploded.
This is an instant kill combination wheel battle?
Sun Hao opened the game and killed the Quartet. In this game, is it O'Neill's turn?
"Huh!"
Billups also made a three-pointer at the top of the arc!
And in the next round, O'Neal catches the ball again, and Anthony has shrunk to the basket in advance.
This defensive approach is a bit similar to the previous double-teaming tactics of the Spurs against the Lakers. The difference is that there is a time interval between the two team-teams, which allows others to make up the defense by assisting in rotation.
When O'Neal divided the ball to Finley in the corner, Rashid assisted.
Finley shook and took a step forward, but Rasheed was too defensive and made up for interference from behind.
Finley's shot missed, Big Ben struggled to push O'Neal out of the penalty area, and Anthony grabbed the defensive rebound.
The Pistons advanced to the frontcourt, and Anthony took advantage of O'Neal's return to the Lakers' defensive foothold, and directly forced Ariza to the basket, causing the latter's defensive foul.
After Anthony made two free throws with interference, the Pistons went ahead!
"Their spiritual attributes are very powerful."
This opening also defeated Kenny Smith, who knew him.
A team just lost to 30+ opponents in the finals, but it is really rare to find the game state immediately in the second game.
But this also explains the toughness of this Pistons team.
"They have five Kobes."
Barkley went on to make a vivid analogy with a slightly big mouth.
These words made Smith and Johnson both amused.
But there is nothing wrong with this, Kobe here is an adjective, representing a strong spiritual attribute.
Then, after halftime, the two teams tied for 43!
The Pistons took their tenacity to the limit, and the problems that the Lakers had seen before have resurfaced.
O'Neal played very hard at the beginning, showing strong dominance on both offensive and defensive ends, but at the same time his physical energy is rapidly depleting.
And Sun Hao may have started offensively after a long time at the beginning, or perhaps the kind of explosive performance at the beginning of the last game was a bit draining of character. His performance in the first half was relatively average.
He scored 10 points in 4 of 9 halftimes.
This kind of performance made some fans worry about whether Sun Hao would repeat the third game.
Their worries had a faint tendency to come true in the second half.
The Pistons are still defensively against Sun Hao, while against O'Neal, they appropriately reduced some defensive intensity.
Brown realized afterwards and realized that O'Neill's physical fitness was a huge problem.
The Lakers were in a passive situation in this quarter, and to make matters worse, in the third or fourth quarter of the bench transition, the Pistons Stackhouse also began to fully fire.
By three-and-a-half minutes in the fourth quarter, the Pistons had led the Lakers by 10 points, 74 to 64.
At this time Horry missed a three-pointer from the outside, McDyess grabbed a defensive rebound, the Pistons hit the Lakers with a defensive counterattack, Stackhouse's fast break layup and another 2 points.
The Pistons have gone smoothly, and even have their worst fast break layup.
Phil Jackson stretched out his hand and called a timeout, the field difference has reached 12 points!
Speaking of this, it's a bit of an injustice. In the last game, Sun Hao scored 19 points in a row to help the Lakers get a 12-point lead at the start. In this game, the Pistons got a 12-point lead in the fourth quarter.
The scene couldn't help but feel restless.
This score, the opponent is the Pistons, it seems that the tiebreaker is already nine out of ten things.
But at this time the format is a good thing for them, because if 2-3-2, the tiebreaker will also be played at the Lakers' home court.
And speaking of this year's playoffs this year, the playoffs are so intense, but there has been no tie-break. If you play a finals tie-break, it will be very exciting.
After the timeout, Phil Jackson replaced Sun Hao in advance.
O'Neal's stamina was too high and he couldn't play early. Although Sun Hao's state was not particularly good tonight, he could only choose to trust Sun Hao.
Just before Sun Hao played, O'Neal caught him.
"Don't forget what you are going to do tonight, what you have prepared."
Sun Hao was sitting next to O'Neal. The thing he put under the bench, O'Neal, knew exactly what it was.
Sun Hao nodded.
When he turned his head, O'Neal grabbed him again.
And this time, O'Neal didn't speak directly, but looked at him seriously, and spoke after a while of silence:
"Los Angeles needs you, this city needs you."
Sun Hao was taken aback.
Compared with the previous sentence, O'Neill's sentence is more touching.
And when O'Neal said this, he looked up and looked around.
Sun Hao couldn't help but raised his head.
Unlike the state of being full of vigor and expectations at the opening, the Staples Center now looks a bit quiet, and the mood of the fans is more worried and disappointed.
Although as they thought before, there is still a chance for a tie-break, and the tie-break is also played at home.
But that is already thinking about the situation in the worst direction, and then finding comfort in the worst.
If it's not a last resort, who wants to do that?
There is also Old Bath.
Old Buss was in poor health and took the initiative to go to the locker room to boost morale.
If Scarlett is only his personal business, then all the fans around are the city's business.
Now O'Neal is limited by physical fitness, and the rest of the Lakers are in a very general state. Only him can be trusted and trusted by fans.
Or as O'Neill said, the city of Los Angeles needs him!
"I understand."
Sun Hao threw away all the baggage at this moment.
He doesn't want to care about scoring efficiency, nor does he want to care about rationalization of play.
He just wants to score now, because only by scoring can the team chase points.
After the timeout came back to the first attack, Sun Hao held the ball to the frontcourt, and Prince was still defending him.
Many future fans spit out some teams with only 8 or even 7 rotations in the playoffs.
But this was a very common phenomenon at the beginning of the century.
Because the atmosphere of a group has not yet formed, only a few people can perform in the playoffs, especially in the finals.
Like the Pistons, in addition to the five tigers, the remaining two rotations are Stackhouse on the back line and McDyess on the inside line.
It is very common to play the whole game at this time.
Of course, Jackson is relatively not so extreme. He uses an 8-man rotation, and Sun Hao will get some rest time during the replacement period.
At this moment, his physical stamina is relatively abundant.
He glanced at Prince, and then directly chose a breakthrough after the start.
He has only scored 13 points and is 2 of 6 from outside. This is really a game where he rarely feels sluggish.
He didn't think that O'Neal's words could make him feel the same, and when he was first replaced, it would be too imaginary if it was.
What he can change is his determination.
So the hand feels bad, he has more choices, and more resolutely hit the basket.
Prince didn't expect that Sun Hao would be so resolute as soon as he came up, and coupled with physical exhaustion, he didn't get stuck in Sun Hao at this time, and was squeezed directly!
Inside McDyess threw out, Rashid on the weak side also shrank back to defense.
But like Prince, they underestimated Sun Hao's determination to attack the frame.
Before Rashid, Sun Hao leaped into the sky to meet McDyess.
McDyess was not Anthony, and avoided after judging that he was too late to block the shots.
"Boom!"
Amidst the cheers of the fans at the scene, Sun Hao smashed the ball into the basket with one-handed tomahawk!
Even Phil Jackson couldn't help pouting and nodding.
This ball is domineering!
Although it was only 2 points, this method of scoring brought back the Lakers' sluggish momentum.
Of course, the more important thing is that Sun Hao has a different temperament from the previous three quarters.
The Lakers may still have a chance.
Stackhouse singles Christie in the front court, and the breakthrough jumper back is very superstar style.
"when!"
Unfortunately, that superstar may sometimes be Kobe.
Insufficient scoring stability means that those who come and go quickly.
Anderson jumped high and took off the defensive rebound.
The Lakers advanced to the frontcourt, and Sun Hao broke through Prince's defense again.
But for teams like the Pistons, it is difficult for them to succeed twice in a row with the same moves.
When Sun Hao broke through, Anthony on the weak side had already assisted in defense.
Sun Hao made a fake pass to the bottom corner...!
Anthony was tricked back by him, and Sun Hao pulled back and layup after a hard confrontation with Prince.
Prince was fooled by Sun Hao's pass just now. He didn't stand in the best defensive position, so he could only try to fight him physically.
But he once again underestimated Sun Hao's determination to attack the frame, and the impact sent him directly above the bottom line.
He originally wanted to interfere with Sun Hao's shooting, but UU reading www.uukanshu.com directly hit Sun Hao's arm.
But this did not have much impact on Sun Hao's shots. Instead, the bottom line referee's whistle sounded to signal a defensive foul.
"Huh!"
Sun Hao, after the confrontation, made a light pick to send the ball into the basket!
After the goal, Sun Hao stood motionless on the bottom line, then stretched out his hand to beat his chest hard.
The cheers on the scene exploded in an instant.
After Sun Hao re-entered in this quarter, he made a breakthrough dunk and a breakthrough 2+1.
Although there is no familiar three-pointer, but such a raw play is very exciting.
Of course more importantly, they felt the existence of Sun Hao.
When the city needed a hero, Sun Hao responded!
