Chapter 463: Yao Sha duel, Sun Mai PK!

Chapter 464 Yao Sha showdown, Sun Mai PK!
"beep!"
With a whistle, Yao Ming dialed the ball back to half, and the finals officially opened!
Nelson took possession of the ball, and after Yao Ming fell to the low post, he then dropped the ball in.
The Wizards played inside first.
Yao Ming catches the ball and hits O'Neal.
O'Neal's reaction speed slowed down after the blessing, but the confrontation was still there, and Yao Ming was pushed even further outside after two tops.
However, Yao Ming is a center with a perfect combination of technique and height. He turned around and made an outside hook.
O'Neal can only look at the ball and sigh.
"Huh!"
Yao Ming showed his soft touch and steadily sent the ball into the basket.
2 to 0!
The Wizards come out on top!
Although he doesn't have the MVP halo bonus like Sun Hao, Yao Ming's postseason state, especially after getting the MVP, is extremely hot!
With the Lakers' offense, Payton advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.
At this moment, Phil Jackson on the Lakers bench suddenly stood up.
Because he found a very "unbelievable" scene on the court.
On the Wizards side, McGrady is defending Sun Hao!
Jackson then turned his gaze to Carlisle on the sidelines.
Before the two teams played against each other, especially during the Christmas game, Sun Hao scored 62 points to kill the Wizards, no one can stop.
Whether it is Nelson or Hamilton, including Alexander on the bench, the Wizards can't stop Sun Hao at all.
Does the Wizards have no better defenders?
The answer is yes.
Who? McGrady.
McGrady's physical talent is destined to be an extremely good defender.
But as I said before, the core defense is rarely seen on the court.
Because players have limited physical fitness, doing so will inevitably mean physical energy consumption on the offensive end.
Of course, there are special cases, such as Kobe.
But McGrady is not Kobe, and the two have very different personalities.
What's more, the game has just begun now!
Sun Hao faced McGrady's attack in the first round, and his shot after shaking... missed!
McGrady's physical talent is so good, whether it is static or dynamic, he is completely a plus version of Kobe.
And he is really fully defensive, which feels like the sun is coming out from the west.
You must know that although McGrady has such a good talent, he has never been in the defensive lineup, and he does not defend hard most of the time.
After successfully defending Sun Hao, McGrady opened his sleepy eyes even more rarely.
Using the parlance in fantasy novels, his eyes burst out with a breathtaking light after opening!
This time, Jackson misunderstood Carlisle.
Defending Sun Hao was not Carlisle's arrangement, but McGrady's own request!
McGrady’s character is indeed much worse than Kobe, but at certain times, his desire to win can also be very strong.
For example, in history, in order to help Houston win the playoffs, he played closed games!
Although such a move turned out to be unwise, he did.
Now history has changed, and the first-round virgin has reached the finals. This moment is much more specific than that time!
In the Wizards' offense, Nelson and Huo Ershu played a pick-and-roll, and after disassembling, he threw a shot against O'Neal who was defending.
The ball did not score, but O'Neal was too late to take it back. After Yao Ming grabbed an offensive rebound from the basket, he scored a second offensive dunk!
4 to 0!
The cheers on the scene shook, and Jordan stretched out his hands to applaud the team's performance.
The Wizards had a perfect start.
On the Lakers bench, Phil Jackson frowned slightly.
Judging from the fact that the Wizards did not participate in the first two offenses, McGrady will defend Sun Hao the entire game tonight.
If Sun Hao and McGrady exchanged one-on-one, the Lakers would be at a disadvantage.
I have to say that this adjustment of the Wizards is in place.
Now, it depends on whether Sun Hao can break through McGrady's defense.
Payton had the ball to the frontcourt, ready to continue to give the ball to Sun Hao.
But at this moment, Sun Hao made a new tactical gesture to him.
Payton was a little surprised, because that was not Jackson's tactical arrangement, but he believed Sun Hao and did so.
This is an inside tactic. After Sun Hao, Ariza and Walker moved to the two wings, O'Neal sank inside, and Payton dropped the ball in.
O'Neal took a look at the ball left and right without double-teaming, and went straight to Yao Ming.
Yao Ming sighed... couldn't hold it.
In history, Yao Ming has been somewhat reluctant to defend against O'Neal after gaining weight, but now Yao Ming has not gained weight. Instead, it is O'Neal who gains weight (fortune).
It's normal that Yao Ming can't handle it.
However, Yao Ming is very clever. He withdrew from the bench after he knew that he could not hold it for two times, and was ready to use his height advantage to block.
The high center of gravity of the inside player is easy to lose balance. If it is replaced by a normal inside player, it is easy to get the trick.
But this is O'Neal, who has been defensive against Yao Ming so many times.
When Yao Ming took off the bench, he took advantage of the trend and jumped directly to hit the ball with one hand to the basket.
"Boom!"
Even a light leap is a thunder blow!
The scene was restless.
They did not know the psychological game between the two on the court.
What they saw was O'Neal knocking off Yao Ming, and then a shark-style dunk dunked the ball in.
That kind of visual impact is indeed like O'Neill himself said, he has enough rest!
The ball was exchanged, Yao Ming received the ball inside and then hit O'Neal with his back.
O'Neal was very focused on defense, but Yao Ming didn't gain weight and was flexible. A hook that turned around continuously made the ball!
After the goal, Yao Ming waved his fist vigorously.
Although he didn't guard O'Neal, O'Neal didn't guard him either!
Looking back, Payton continued to drop the ball to O'Neal.
However, there is a small detail on the court at this time. Sun Hao did not simply stand on the outside line to draw space, but ran around the half court without the ball.
O'Neal showed off his skills at the basket, and the iconic hook after turning around steadily sent the ball into the basket!
The duel of two super centers!
After several rounds of the game, the fans suddenly discovered that the game has become a Yao Sha showdown from the opening to the present!
Phil Jackson's expression improved a lot.
From a strategic perspective, Sun Hao's choice is wise.
The opening of the match between Yao Sharks, so that not only can make full use of the physical strength of O'Neal on the court.
More importantly, because McGrady is defending Sun Hao, he won't be involved too much on the offensive end, and the Lakers can maintain the situation.
Even Sun Hao wisely uses off-the-ball running to consume McGrady's physical strength. You must know that defense will always consume more physical strength than offense because it has to bypass the pick and roll.
So if you keep playing like this, the Lakers will gradually gain an advantage.
The situation on the court is indeed moving in this direction.
The two teams played for about 6 minutes and the score on the court was 14 draws.
At this moment, Sun Hao caught the ball and faced McGrady, and suddenly retreated a three-pointer.
McGrady has excellent physical talents and has maintained a very high defensive focus from the beginning, but he also consumes a lot of energy after running most of the quarter with Sun Hao.
what? Only half a section?
You ask Payton, who is gasping for breath, and how he feels to prevent Hamilton from running for half a quarter!
Sun Hao just ran a short quarter in Hamilton's style of play!
This time, he failed to keep up with Sun Hao's offensive rhythm.
It was this time that the ball spun over his head towards the basket.
"Huh!"
Then with a crisp sound, Sun Hao's three-pointer flew up and down!
This is his first shot tonight, but his first shot scored for the first time!
That's not a big deal. After Nelson's emergency stop jumper missed, O'Neal grabbed the rebound and gave it to Walker. The Lakers pushed back on defense.
After Sun Hao received Walker's long pass, he speeded up and left McGrady behind!
"Boom!"
An iconic tomahawk dunk, the scene was restless.
Sun Hao either doesn't make a shot without scoring, and one shot is a wave of personal 5-0!
Carlisle reached out and called a timeout.
His reaction is fast enough.
But he overreacted a bit this time.
Because after returning from the timeout, the Lakers have replaced O'Neal.
At this time, it's O'Neill's regular rotation time!
This timeout, Carlisle was paying for his youth.
After returning from the timeout, Yao Ming played Mourning in the low post.
He turned around continuously, but Mourning was much more flexible than O'Neal, and when he finally chose to attack, Mourning was also tough enough.
His offense was eventually destroyed, and the rebound was also captured by Mourning.
Mourning staged a "Lian Po Old Man Can Still Eat".
The Lakers advanced to the frontcourt and the ball was in Sun Hao's hands.
In the timeout just now, Jackson made tactical adjustments, and the Lakers' offensive focus has shifted from the inside to the outside.
Or to be more precise, O'Neill has been transferred to Sun Hao.
Facing McGrady, Sun Hao accelerated one step, retreated, and accelerated again.
McGrady's footsteps began to a little bit unable to keep up.
His center of gravity was already much higher than Sun Hao, but now that his physical exertion has increased, he can't help it anymore.
Huo Ershu assisted in defense, but Jackson had tactical arrangements, and Walker had moved ahead and set up a pick-and-roll.
Sun Hao turned and walked to Walker's side, used the pick-and-roll to get inside, and made Yao Ming's defense foul.
Sun Hao goes to the free throw line.
At this moment, the sideline Carlisle called McGrady and Nelson to the front.
Sun Hao's free throw.
The first penalty, hit.
There are also second penalties.
Steady made two free throws.
14 to 21.
The point difference was opened to 7 points.
Counting the time-out, Sun Hao personally scored 7 points!
The Wizards advanced to the frontcourt and McGrady began to hold the ball!
Obviously, this is a new deployment made by Carlisle when Sun Hao made a free throw just now.
With this reaction speed, Carlisle's on-the-spot command ability has to leave D'Antoni a few blocks away.
Yao Ming mentioned pick-and-rolls at high positions, and the classic MM cooperation is long overdue.
A pick-and-roll up and down, the Lakers switched defenses, and McGrady pulled out his hand to meet Mourninggan.
Elegant figure, beautiful posture.
Because of the beauty of playing, McGrady has skyrocketed in domestic popularity after partnering with Yao Ming.
In addition to "T-mac", he even has a nickname in China: basketball poet!
"when!"
However, although good-looking, his first shot failed to hit!
Fortunately, Yao Ming took off the offensive rebound and scored the second offense.
16 to 21!
The difference is back to 5 points!
Sun Hao took the ball again in the frontcourt, and at this moment, his defender changed from McGrady to Hamilton.
This is also a normal adjustment.
Carlisle arranged for McGrady to attack and would not let him defend again.
But this adjustment is Sun Hao's opportunity.
Sun Hao continued to change direction and breakthrough, Hamilton couldn't resist, Huo Ershu kept up with the defense.
Sun Hao saw that Walker lied to Uncle Huo in the latter false pass, and he fought against Hamilton.
The ball spins and wipes the board into the frame.
16 to 23!
The point difference was pulled back to 7 points!
Sun Hao, scored 9 points in a row!
"What a terrifying scoring explosive power!"
This year's finals live broadcast was taken by ESPN. Brin couldn't help but sigh after seeing it.
No one thinks such a sigh is exaggerated, because Sun Hao didn't score much in the first half of the quarter, but he has now scored 9 points in an instant!
At this time, let’s go back to what Jordan said in answer to the question that was not what was asked. The extraneous tone of that sentence is actually tacitly acquiescing that Sun Hao is stronger than McGrady!
It's just that the of basketball has the first face. Now that McGrady is on his team, it is impossible to admit it.
Looking back, McGrady continued to play pick-and-rolls with Yao Ming.
The Lakers didn't dare to change again this time. Yao Ming's height is there, and he basically loses backboard rebounds.
Ariza tried to get around, but Yao Ming was also big.
And McGrady is still very decisive.
Once again, the picturesque scissor legs were pulled dry.
"Huh!"
This time the basketball heard the call of the poet and fell into a hollow.
18 to 23!
The point difference was pulled back to 5 points again!
The situation on the court is extremely anxious.
Sun Hao broke through and was double-teamed. This time he chose to split the ball to Walker in the bottom corner.
Walker made a decisive three-pointer, but it was a pity that he was almost out of luck.
Yao Ming protected the defensive rebound.
After O'Neal was off the court, the Lakers were clearly at a disadvantage inside.
And this time the Wizards played a fast break, McGrady followed fast, and he jumped up after receiving a pass from Nelson in the front court.
Ariza had also retreated to the backcourt at this time. He jumped up to block the shots, but McGrady showed off his physical fitness and dunks after dodge in the air with abdomen and gliding!
In an instant, the Verizon Center Arena was lit.
The visual impact of this dunk simply burst.
Sun Hao couldn't help but feel a little envious when watching the LED playback.
McGrady's physical talent is the only one in the NBA.
And more importantly, the momentum of the Wizards has risen.
Back on the defensive end, they pushed the Lakers for almost 24 seconds.
The ball returned to Sun Hao in the last 2 seconds, and Sun Hao directly faced Hamilton and shot!
This ball is very important. Not only is the point difference on the field only 3 points left, but more importantly, if the Wizards makes another defensive counterattack, the "potential" on the field will fall to the Wizards side. Up.
Just like in the previous Western Conference finals against the Suns, the "potential" is almost decisive in a close match.
Everyone on the scene was watching the ball spinning in the air.
"Huh!"
Then, UU reading www.uukanshu.com This time it is the Lakers bench.
Sun Hao's key ball never disappoints!
20 to 26!
The point difference was once again opened to 6 points.
The scene was restless.
At this time, McGrady also stretched out his hands and rubbed his nose with a smile.
In fact, he also envied Sun Hao's ability for this key ball.
"This is the matchup of the strongest team this year!"
Brin further sighed.
The front is Yao Sha duel, and then Sun Mai PK.
This finals only began to play less than one quarter, but the excitement has surpassed all previous games!
