Chapter 626: Perfect team

Eight hours before the start of the Western Conference Finals, Durant arrived at the Oakland Arena early for shooting training.
Although he was thinking about the finals when communicating with Sun Hao, he also knew that before that, he had to pass the Clippers level.
Last year, on the stage of the Western Conference Finals, Sun Hao helped him grow and assisted him to complete his first lore in the playoffs.
But in the end, in the G6 arena, the Clippers still eliminated the Warriors.
Although the media gave the Warriors a good evaluation after the game, including him, they felt that they had done a good job as a young team.
After all, the last season, strictly speaking, belonged to Kobe's season, and they lost to the final championship.
But if you lose, you lose. Durant's heart is here. Although he will not say "we are the number one loser", his first goal is definitely to win back.
Of course, motivation is also pressure. Early training is to prepare for the game and to release the pressure in advance.
After he practiced for a while, Sun Hao also came.
When the two saw each other, they both froze for a while, and then laughed involuntarily.
Sun Hao didn't expect Durant to come earlier than him, but Durant didn't expect Sun Hao to come earlier.
And laugh together because this behavior shows that they feel pressure on the night game.
"Will we win?"
When the training was almost done, the two of them sat on the sidelines to rest, and Durant looked at Sun Hao seriously and asked.
This question is very real.
After all, they are facing the defending champion, and now the strongest opponent in the league, he wants to win, but he is definitely useless if he is confident that he will win.
But even in front of Sun Hao, he would ask so bluntly.
"Do the best you can, and leave the rest to me."
Sun Hao said calmly.
Not much, but Durant felt a surge of confidence after listening.
Yes, with Sun Hao here, he shouldn't have that kind of suspicion!
Last year he didn't give Sun Hao enough help, but it won't happen this year. They will definitely win!
There is still more than an hour before the game, and the fans at Oracle Arena are already sitting seven or eight.
From the eyes of the fans, you can see something called anticipation, and of course there is also a hint of tension.
The mood of the fans is similar to that of Durant before. They expect the Warriors to complete their revenge this year, but at the same time they are a little worried that the Warriors will not be able to fight.
Half an hour before the start of the game, the arena was full of seats, and the fans all put on the yellow T-shirts that were uniformly distributed to the seats in the arena.
The scene is a yellow ocean.
Players from both sides also entered the stadium one after another at this time.
Sun Hao completed his daily pass three-pointer before entering the field.
Maybe it was because he came to the field to train in advance, his hand feels very good, and he will hit a hit.
Sun Hao's excellent touch also attracted cheers from the Warriors fans on the scene.
A very interesting thing is that since Sun Hao started to cast channel three-pointers, fans have counted the relationship between the channel three-pointers and the Warriors' victory.
Fans found that as long as Sun Hao hits the game, the probability of winning is as high as 90%.
Although this does not mean that the Warriors will win tonight, it is undoubtedly a very positive signal.
The tension in the eyes of many fans has disappeared.
Sun Hao is the best Dinghai Shenzhen!
Sun Hao ran into the court after shooting a three-pointer, that is, at this moment he looked at the Clippers for the first time.
Those familiar figures are really a kind of "past and present" familiarity to him.
In particular, this is the second time he has played against this team.
A question many people will ask is, in history, which Lakers team composed of the Lakers and Gasol is the strongest.
Most of the answers for fans who have seen the ball in those years will be the 09-10 season.
The Lakers have reached the Finals three times in a row since 2008.
Lost to the Celtics in the first year, and easily defeated the Magic in the second year to win the championship. In the third year, the 2009-10 season and the Celtics played seven games, the final tie-break was thrilling. Win the game.
Among them, there are two consecutive championships behind. The biggest difference is that the starting small forward has changed from Ariza to Artest.
That is, the finals of that year were regarded as one of the most exciting finals in NBA history by many fans in the future.
So now, the Warriors are facing a plus version of such a team.
Difficulty, great.
But it was precisely because of the difficulty that Sun Hao was inexplicably excited.
At his current stage, just like those famous masters in martial arts novels, only strong opponents will make him have the desire to draw swords.
The two teams did not communicate before the game, including Kobe Bryant did not come up to say hello to Sun Hao.
Obviously, both teams attach great importance to this round of the series.
The game hasn't started yet, and the tense atmosphere before the game has been rendered to the climax.
This is a game that is destined to burst into flames.
Just when the fans seemed to be able to smell the smoke of gunpowder, a close-up shot of the audience was given on the spot.
James, Wade and Anthony went to the sidelines to watch the ball together.
All three have ended their playoffs.
But because they have had a lot of rumors before, this scene will inevitably make people think about it.
Of course, this is just a small episode. After the warm-up of both sides is finished, the scene enters the opening ceremony, and the starting lineup of the two teams is released.
Clippers: Sun Yue, Kobe, Artest, Gasol, Bynum.
Warriors: Sun Hao, McGrady, Durant, Ibaka, Oden.
On the Clippers side, Sun Yue has already squeezed the old fish to the bench by virtue of excellent defense and stable three-pointers.
On the Warriors side, the old Nelson deliberately slowed down and also started McGrady, who had performed well in the previous series.
This tit-for-tat formation has added to the already tense atmosphere.
Amidst the cheers of the fans, the starting players of the two teams have appeared one after another.
Bynum and Oden's jump ball in the middle circle.
In the playoffs last year, Bynum killed Landry's three front teeth with one elbow. Not to mention the fans, the Warriors still remember it very well.
Oden is also struggling.
As soon as the referee's whistle sounded from the sidelines, he jumped high and dialed the ball back to half.
After Sun Hao got the ball and gave it to McGrady, the Warriors got the chance to attack first!
Tracy McGrady took the ball to the frontcourt. Although he played as a shooting guard, his role here is more like a point guard.
But this is the old Nielsen's idea, letting McGrady go up to share the organizational pressure of Sun Hao, so that Sun Hao can put more energy into scoring.
The Clippers started man-to-man defense, McGrady was defending Kobe, and Sun Yue was defending Sun Hao.
This is very interesting, the match between two Chinese national team teammates on the field.
Sun Yue is a disciple of Sun Haozheng's Eight Classics, and is also very familiar with Sun Hao. At this moment, the anti-off-ball is not only close to the body but also physically against Sun Hao within the rules.
This is not to be prevented, but to consume Sun Hao's physical energy as much as possible.
This defensive strategy is obviously based on Kobe, and it is also correct.
Sun Hao started running without the ball, continuously screened out by Ibaka and Oden, and quickly shook off Sun Yue and got a good chance of catching the ball in the high mid-range.
It's not that the Clippers have a problem with their defense, but Ibaka and Oden's off-the-ball pick-and-rolls are of high quality!
Compared with last year, the Warriors' abilities in all aspects of these two insiders have also improved a lot!
McGrady is a hooligan when he is a "point guard", because he is too tall, and high means vision.
And although he doesn't have the passing sense of Nash, as a super scorer in the past, he knows when the pass is the most appropriate.
Sun Hao just came out, and McGrady's pass has arrived.
Running, catching, shooting, all in one go.
"Huh!"
With a crisp sound, Sun Hao's first shot came up, and it was the Warriors' first shot tonight that he hollowed into the net!
There is no too complicated tactics, but the Warriors have played the most exciting cooperation on the court! !
The Oracle Arena fell into a boil instantly.
This kind of opening is so handsome!
The camera was taken to the Clippers bench, and head coach Dunleavy stood up from the bench.
Although it's only one round, he can feel that the Warriors are in good shape tonight.
In the offensive and defensive transition, Sun Yue took possession of the ball to the frontcourt, and then gave the ball to Gasol in the high post.
Although the lineup is very similar to the Lakers in history, the difference in play style is quite large because of the different coaches.
The Clippers don't play triangles, but Gasol's high-post wing and Kobe's high-low singles.
This is also a key reason why Sun Yue can replace Fisher.
Because Pau Gasol can organize and support, Sun Yue holds the ball for more than half of the court, handing the ball to Pau Gasol and squatting to the corner.
In the first round that Gasol held the ball, Kobe took advantage of Bynum and Artest's continuous screens.
Kobe's running position contained most of the Warriors' defense. At this moment, Artest opened and quickly cut into the basket, receiving a pass from Gasol and making a quick layup.
In this round, the Clippers' tacit understanding was fully demonstrated.
This is why the 2010 finals will be called the most exciting finals, because the two teams standing on that stage are already the two most mature teams.
Both teams scored in their first offense in the opening game, and both showed excellent competitive status. Some of them played in this game tonight.
Sure enough, looking back, when Sun Hao was running to contain him, Durant was also a cut and received McGrady's pass and dunk directly!
The ball Gasol had been predicted and recovered in advance, but could not hold Durant's long arms, he finally became a gorgeous background board.
The big man of 2.10 meters, most of them feel very cumbersome, but Durant is an alternative, which is why he has become a historic scorer.
His moving speed was as strong as Gasol and couldn't keep up.
Durant also looked very excited after dunking, and yelled at Gasol after landing.
Before the game, Sun Hao said to let him do the best he can do, and this is what he can do!
However, Durant had just finished his deduction, and when he looked back, Gasol faked a fax attack, broke through from the free throw line to the inside, and scored after fighting against Ibaka!
This sister-in-law is very hard!
4 levels!
Both sides refused to give up!
"Follow yours!"
When the Clippers returned to halftime, Old Dunleavy started yelling reminders from the sidelines at this time.
The offensive performance of the team is no problem, but the defensive end allows the Warriors to score so easily, which he cannot accept.
With his shout, the defensive strength of the Clippers on the court became apparent.
When there is no ball on the field to screen, small confrontations can be seen everywhere, and even Ibaka almost fell with Kobe when screened.
However, the sideline referee did not mean to sound the whistle. The scale is so loose that it clearly encourages confrontation.
As a result, at this moment, it has begun to smell like a 10-year finals.
Sun Hao received the ball and didn't have a direct shot chance, so he flicked a shot to the basket to kill.
The Clippers contracted quickly, and Sun Hao and others had already been surrounded by four people after breaking into the hinterland.
At this time, he split the ball to Durant beyond the right three-point line.
Durant was a good time to play when he received the ball, but when he took the shot, Artest was surprised that he was back to defend and interfered!
A man with his own defensive system!
The fans are already staring at it.
Not to mention scoring, it is this kind of defensive rotation that makes people look wet.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the intensity of the previous rounds of competition is not of the same level as this!
Then Durant voted directly!
Just do it!
Artest stretched out his hand and couldn't cover Durant. The point of pulling out his hand was much higher than that of McGrady.
The ball whirled over Artest's head to the basket.
The fans on the scene held their breath.
The intensity of the game in front of them, every move affects their hearts.
"Huh!"
A crisp sound came out through the loudspeaker.
Durant, hit the Warriors' first three-pointer tonight!
Moreover, it's a bukkake!
The cheers at the scene could no longer stop.
Durant's opening 2-of-2 shots and 5 points in a row was a bit explosive!
Especially with last year's comparison, this makes fans feel unprecedented confidence.
Even including the quality of pick-and-rolls given by Ibaka and Oden, the young Warriors have improved a lot compared to last year!
This is the best news for them!
When retreating, Sun Hao also took the initiative to give Durant a high-tap.
Talking about it before the game, he didn't expect Durant's state to be so good in the opening game. It seems that this first game, the Warriors will have a great chance to win.
With that in mind, Kobe started playing with the ball back in the high post.
Kobe No. 24 and No. 8 are different. The Warriors dare not double-team easily. Durant is defending alone.
Kobe took a luck, and then used the footsteps he learned from Olajuwon last summer, landed on both feet at the same time, then turned around and then turned around.
In history, Kobe is known as Olajuwon's most proud disciple for a reason, because he not only mastered the essentials, but the key is that the technical movements are very realistic and coherent.
Durant was already focused enough, but in the end he was shaken by Kobe's fake action.
Then when Kobe threw him away for a layup, he reacted and wanted to risk it, but the ball didn't get it, and he paid a foul.
The ball bounces into the basket after wiping the board. This is a 2+1!
When Durant saw it, he held his head in his hands and shook his head helplessly.
Kobe stepped to the free throw line and added a penalty to make a steady hit.
7 level!
The Clippers tied the score again!
There was a stir at the scene.
Durant had the ball so difficult just now, but after looking back, Kobe calmly scored 2+1.
This Clippers team is really unreasonable!
These rounds also became the epitome of the first quarter.
The defensive intensity on the field is very high, and there are many confrontations, but at the end of the fight, no one can defend anyone.
The conditions on both sides are too good.
By the end of the first quarter, the score on the court was 35.
The two teams scored 70 points in one quarter!
The quality of this season is definitely the highest since this year's playoffs!
And in terms of statistics, you may not believe it, the Clippers played exceptionally balanced.
Kobe scored 8 points, Pau Gasol also had 7 points, Artest 6 points.
This is the embodiment of the ultimate team basketball.
"We saw another show.time team perform."
As the commentator Scheblin said, the Clippers have made basketball the fan's favorite appearance.
On the Warriors side, Durant was in the most brave form. He scored 17 points on 7 of 7 shots in a single quarter.
The best he could do, really surprised Sun Hao.
Facts have proved that Sun Hao sacrificed some data in the past to help the Warriors grow, which is really worth it.
This is the real version of "Sow a seed in spring and reap a fruit in autumn".
The two teams were evenly matched in the first quarter, but in the second quarter, Durant's touch began to fall, and the Clippers reacted quickly and began to frantically flanking Sun Hao. The Warriors' offense was obviously not as smooth as it was in the first quarter.
And Kobe began to take over the game on the court.
He played more than four minutes in the second quarter before coming off the bench, but he scored 16 points in this quarter.
Under his leadership, the Clippers also opened the score to double digits 69-58 at halftime.
"We can't deny the excellent performance of the Warriors, but it's clear that the Clippers are a more mature team."
At the end of halftime, Miller from the commentator also made a summary of the halftime game.
When they said this, ~EbookFREE.me~ also gave the statistics of the two teams at halftime.
For the Clippers, Kobe's 24 points are dazzling, but Gasol's 13 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists are also very interesting.
As for the Warriors, Durant's 20 points and Sun Hao's 17 points scored quite a lot, but apart from the two of them, everyone else played fairly averagely.
Especially McGrady, who is also an organizing point on the court, has only 3 rebounds and 2 assists and no points.
To put it bluntly, in the previous games, McGrady can also make a difference on the offensive end, but with this level of confrontation, it will be difficult for him to score.
Passing for the sole purpose of passing is very easy to be targeted.
This is also the key reason why Miller would express such emotions.
Because the strengths and weaknesses of the Warriors are visible to the naked eye, but the Clippers have almost no weaknesses!
It's really hard to beat such a team!
