Chapter 695: Sun Hao also held his thighs!

Ranked fourth is the Mavericks team, they finally achieved 57 wins.
Deron was infamous because of the "trustworthy incident" in the summer, but his performance in the Mavericks team was very good, averaging 17.6 points and 7.9 assists per game in the season.
And the Mavericks team is reasonably configured, and they have more possibilities in the playoffs.
The Clippers ranked fifth with 55 wins.
Kobe did not suffer as devastating injuries as in history, and his performance is still outstanding.
However, Howard was affected by his back injury and his performance was not as good as before. In addition, Gasol has not been able to get out of his ex-girlfriend's derailment. In the end, the position of the Clippers has become a bit awkward.
Because such a ranking means that they have to fight the Lone Ranger in the first round.
Moreover, the strength of the Western Conference teams this year is no longer a matter of competition system or competition system. There are only four places in the upper half. If you fall into the lower half, you don't think about the championship, but how to get out of the first round.
The Grizzlies ranked sixth with 54 wins.
In the end, like the Bulls in history, Rose's health has become a major problem that restricts the team's upper limit.
Fortunately, when Ross was absent, Gasol grew rapidly.
And Rose recovered from injury before the end of the season, which makes their actual combat power far stronger than the rankings show.
The Thunder ranked seventh with 54 wins.
It is the same record with different wins and losses, and the Thunder can only be ranked seventh.
But you said 54 wins and 7th, no one believed it in any previous season!
But this season the West is so cruel.
However, like the Grizzlies, the Thunder have shown a better fit this season, and their combat power is also not to be underestimated.
The Hornets ranked eighth in the West with 44 wins.
It is easy to see that there is a record break between seventh and eighth.
In fact, after the Hornets, the remaining Western Conference teams have not recorded more than 40 games. The Timberwolves, the bottom-most team, have won in single digits!
Poor display is a factor on the one hand, and the bigger factor is still not defeated!
Teams in the same district have played the most times in a season, and most of the 50+60+ wins of those teams were played against them!
So if it weren't for such a record, it would seem abnormal.
The East and West rankings are released, and the final matchup is also released.
In the East, the Knicks VS Celtics, Bulls VS Wizards, Pacers VS Bucks, Eagles VS Pistons.
There are many suspenseful matches between these four groups, but if the fans pay the most attention, it is not the Bulls and Wizards games.
In the past ten years, the two teams have played a lot in the playoffs during the time when the Wizards were still Yao Ming, and they have won each other.
And Harden averaged 26.1 points per game in his first season with the Wizards.
Fans look forward to his performance in the playoffs.
An easily overlooked fact is that the league has not had a dominant shooting guard for some time since Wade.
In the West, Warriors vs. Hornets, Lakers vs. Thunder, Spurs vs. Grizzlies, and Lone Rangers vs. Clippers.
Compared to the east, every group in the west is a highlight.
The least suspense will definitely be the Warriors and Hornets game.
For the Warriors, this is another warm-up game.
Why do you say "again"?
Because the Warriors also played the Hornets in the first round last year!
Most people may have forgotten the process of that round of the series, but what they will not forget is that the Warriors won the Hornets by 58 points in one game!
Deron: This time it finally has nothing to do with me!
Get rid of this group that has no suspense, and the remaining three groups are full of suspense.
The Mavericks and Clippers, Spurs and Grizzlies, these four teams are all championship-level teams to maintain their health.
Now encounter in the first round, cool the fans, but no one knows which two teams will win in the end.
Because they have too many reasons to win the series.
Then the last Lakers and Thunder.
This is not the first time the two teams have played against each other, but compared to the last time, the suspense this time is obviously greater.
Although the two core members of the Lakers, Sun Hao and Yao Ming, have more experience in the playoffs, the Thunder team has also established a good understanding after running in. Coupled with the impact they have always had, the Thunder team’s winning side has not Not small.
Or in other words, the Lakers' victory over the Thunder is by no means as easy as expected.
Before the playoffs started, the league presented the first awards of the season as in the past.
The best sixth man belongs to JR Smith of the Hawks. He averaged 18.1 points per game, making him the fourth best player in the Eastern Conference.
The Most Improved Award was given to Harden without any suspense. Harden's blowout data allowed him to get more than 90% of the first vote and 47% of the total votes.
The best coach was given to Spoelstra of the Knicks. This was the first time in his career that he won the honor of the best coach.
"Silver Fox" Harris also got 19% of the votes in the selection, second only to Spoelster and Bulls coach Steve Kerr.
After the end of this wave of awards selection, the playoffs began.
The Lakers and Oklahoma City games were scheduled on the first day.
Of course, the Western Conference is played late.
Before them, the Pacers and Bucks, Bulls and Wizards in the East started the first game.
The game between the Bulls and the Wizards that the fans paid attention to finally gave the fans enough fright.
That's right, it's just fright.
In the first playoff game, Harden handed over 6 of 19 shots and a 20-point stat sheet. He also made only one goal in 6 shots from beyond the three-point line.
This data is not good for an average star, and it can only be considered bad for Harden.
Because fans are looking forward to Harden's playoffs.
However, facts have proved that Harden in this period is indeed not like Sun Hao, Jordan, Kobe, and other shooting guards who once or now have "dominant" shooting guards, are players born for the big scene.
With Harden's performance, the result of the game naturally has no suspense.
The Wizards lost 91 to 120 to the Bulls and suffered a playoff opener.
Well, the fans feel like they are going to eat chocolate happily, but in the end they are given a sip of Xiang.
But this is not entirely bad.
Because after being fed Xiang, the fans naturally look forward to eating something delicious to forget that experience.
Then the two playoff games in the West are their new expectations.
In the West, the Spurs and Grizzlies are the first to start the game.
Then, in the first game, the fans had a bite of delicious food.
Rose scored 29 points, and Gasol contributed 17 points, 18 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 blocks. The two together led the team to beat the Spurs 103-99 and completed the first under-cont in the new season playoffs!
I said before that if the Spurs encounter the Lakers, Sun Hao will meet Popovich, whom he has been stunned many times, after many years.
But now, that's not necessarily true!
Then, after the previous game did a lot of "hot field", the last game of the first day was also the most closely watched Lakers and Oklahoma City game began.
When warming up before the game, the faces of the Thunder players were full of vigor and confidence.
The last time the two teams played against each other, Griffin and Westbrook showed their fit to the fans.
This time, the two of them showed that kind of vigorous vigor.
The atmosphere of the team is related to the temperament of the core. The temperament of the Thunder has a lot to do with the character of the two cores.
And this temperament is very attractive.
This is the home court of the Lakers, but when Westbrook and Griffin were projected on the large LED screen, they still attracted a lot of attention.
Opponents do not prevent fans from loving them and the Thunder team.
After the warm-up, the scene entered the opening ceremony, and the starting lineups on both sides were released one after another.
On the Thunder side, Westbrook, Sofolosha, Jeff Green, Griffin, Jordan Jr.
On the Lakers side, Knight, Sun Hao, Carter, Millsap, Yao Ming.
After finishing the final tactical deployment before the game, the starting players on both sides are ready to enter the game.
When they were on the court, Sun Hao and Yao Ming walked and talked.
"Dayao, I'm seeing you tonight."
Sun Hao patted Yao Ming on the shoulder and said.
This is not a polite remark, nor is it about wanting Yao Ming to deliberately use stats like in the previous All-Star Game, but rather relying on Yao Ming for Thunder.
The Thunder's lineup is not strictly a small ball lineup.
But anyone who has watched the Thunder play will know how much this team's offense relies on defensive counterattacks.
This is not related to who the Thunder's head coach is, but to the composition of the team.
The technical characteristics of these people selected by the team determine how they want to play.
There are actually two ways to build a team.
One is to establish a system first, and then find the right person.
The most typical example is the formation of several major systems, such as the triangle system in the OK period and the Spurs system.
However, this is still a minority in the league in general, because the success of the "system" is difficult.
The other is to find a coach that suits them based on the team's personnel framework, and then build a tactical system that suits them.
This is the vast majority of the league, including the current Thunder team.
If it is not easy to understand, you can compare this to cooking.
One is to decide what you want to eat, and then go out to buy ingredients.
In the other case, what kind of ingredients are there and what kind of dishes are there.
So if the Thunder's play style is determined, the Lakers' response is actually simple.
You are good at playing defensive counterattacks, so if I reduce the number of defensive counterattacks you play, it will be half the battle.
As for how to reduce the defensive counterattack? Reduce the attack success rate of positional warfare!
This is the same as playing small balls.
So in fact, you will find how useful it is to have a dominant big center!
In fact, this is also the reason why Jordan has been liked by so many fans in history, because before the advent of the small ball era, in addition to the Bulls, those dynasty teams, and even teams with two consecutive championships, there will be super centers in the team.
Yao Ming and Xiao Jordan jumped the ball in the middle circle.
Little Jordan usually plays dunks in the air, coupled with excellent rebounding and defensive ability, gives the impression that he belongs to the beast hardline.
But in the battle against Yao Ming, it looks a bit small and exquisite.
In fact, Jordan's height is only 2.11 meters, this height is obviously short when playing center in the NBA.
This is one of the reasons why his draft pick is not too high.
"beep!"
With a whistle from the sidelines, Yao Ming dialed the ball back to the Lakers halftime, and the Lakers' playoffs this season officially opened.
After advancing to the frontcourt, Sun Hao tactically signaled, a low offensive tactic in a triangle attack, and the ball was directly fed in.
The Thunder are neither the Warriors nor the Bulls, and Griffin's assistive defense capabilities are not as good as Yi Jianlian and Ibaka, so they dare not assist in the opening game.
As a result of not daring to help defend, Yao Ming got the ball and got the opportunity to comfortably beat Jordan in singles.
Back hit, feel the defensive focus, and turn around to make a small hook.
Little Jordan jumped up directly, and then covered the air!
Centers in this league are now basically divided into two categories, one is Yao Ming, and the other is other centers.
There are many types of other centers, including low-post defensive masters, such as Chandler; bouncing hunks with the best physical fitness, such as Howard, and the little Jordan in front of them.
Knowing that he can't stand Yao Ming, Jordan's choice can only be proactive.
It's just a pity that he was right, but his judgment was a bit inaccurate.
This time, "Tigger" background board get.
"Huh!"
Yao Ming easily hooked the ball into the basket.
The Lakers came out on top.
There was a whistle from Lakers fans.
The opening ball Yao Ming played was called casual and relaxed!
However, as mentioned at the beginning, this Thunder team is full of vigor. Although Jordan has a tendency to be ravaged at the beginning, the morale of the Thunder has not been affected.
Looking back, Westbrook and Griffin made a pick-and-roll, stepping on the Hot Wheels and rushing inside.
Although Yao Ming has almost lost weight, his age relationship cannot keep up with Westbrook.
Westbrook directly crossed Yao Ming and slammed to the inside and flew on the rebound to score.
This style of play is easily reminiscent of the man named Francis.
Westbrook's scoring is very good for the morale of the Thunder, but it obviously has no effect on the Lakers.
Attacking the frontcourt, Sun Hao continued to play low post tactics.
The Thunder are still not defending!
Yao Ming saw that the corner of his mouth was drooling, and then he forced Jordan to turn around and press the ball into the basket!
Little Jordan was scolded after jumping in front of him. This time he didn't dare to jump and had to make a hard top. Yao Ming grabbed the defensive center of gravity and gave him a Tai Chi style of play.
But this is not to blame Jordan, Yao Ming played this way when he played the pinnacle of Ben Wallace.
Westbrook repeated his old tricks and rushed to the frontcourt, but this time Yao Ming was on guard and went to the basket to close.
It was still Westbrook who passed Yao Ming and went inside, but in fact Yao Ming was already behind him.
At the moment Westbrook layup, Yao Ming seized the opportunity to shoot.
"boom!"
A big top hat!
Yao Ming has taught the young Westbrook a lesson!
And after blocking the shot, Yao Ming immediately took off the defensive rebound, turned and threw it to Sun Hao on the outside.
The Lakers fought a wave of defensive counterattacks that the Thunder do best.
The Thunder retreated quickly. The first wave of fast breaks did not start, but no one noticed that Yao Ming was about to keep up with the second wave!
Sun Hao passed the ball back and Yao Ming received the ball and flew into the basket.
The Thunder have not come back with Jordan and Griffin yet, and now only Sofolosha and Jeff Green are at the basket.
Seeing Yao Mingfei's movement on the basket, they really followed the feeling of seeing a giant lying on the wall in "Attack on Giant".
Instinctively, they just avoided it.
Yao Ming stepped forward and changed from a layup to a dunk.
"Boom!"
The ball was easily smashed into the basket.
The Staples Center was filled with cheers and whistles in an instant.
In the first few rounds, Yao Ming has scored 6 points, and the Lakers have all 6 points!
Sun Hao also smiled and high-five Yao Ming after dunking.
Tonight, there is a thigh hug!
