Chapter 699: Can't afford to lose tonight's game

Of course, it is not only the players who congratulate Sun Hao.
"History is the best, never stop!" Anta.
Anta’s congratulations on this wave of slogans, and also announced the news of the launch of commemorative sneakers below, step by step to the stomach.
Even these don't count, Anta is also preparing to make a new advertisement for Sun Hao. The content of the advertisement is about Sanlian.
Compared with Adidas, although there is still a gap in corporate strength, Anta's level of care for Sun Hao is one block higher.
After the dust settled, the fans were looking forward to the conference finals finally kicking off.
The Eastern Conference took the lead.
The result of the game was also a bit unexpected.
With Paul's outstanding performance of 33 points and 13 assists, the Bulls beat the Knicks 106 to 101 and won their first Eastern Conference final victory!
You know this game is played in Madison Square Garden!
Paul's battle once again reminded people of another No. 3, which made his reputation skyrocket.
But this is not too surprising. In contrast to Harden next door, Paul is the typical playoff player who performs better than the regular season.
The eastern part was a hit at the beginning.
Then the Western Conference finals were finished, and the Warriors defeated the Lakers 118 to 106 and won their first victory in the Western Conference Finals!
There is no "upset" in the west.
And from the score, it can be seen that the Lakers also failed to play with the Warriors to the last minute.
If you haven't watched the game, you will find this a bit unexpected.
After all, whether the Lakers faced the Thunder or the Spurs before, it can be said that they played very easily.
Their "new triangle tactics" can't even guard the Spurs.
In contrast, the Warriors played seven games with the Mavericks to advance to the Western Conference Finals.
But fans who have watched the game know that the Lakers lost the game unjustly.
Sun Hao's performance in this game was not bad, he scored a game-high 37 points.
The Warriors used a lot of pincers against him, but that didn't work most of the time.
Where the Lakers really lose is that everyone except Sun Hao did not perform as expected.
This also includes Yao Ming.
It turns out that the state is indeed something that needs to be maintained by the game.
In the first round, Yao Ming was in good shape, and he basically didn't have the strength to fight back inside the Thunder.
But Yao Ming basically didn't take the lead when playing the Spurs. After playing the entire series, he had a lot of problems with his hand.
Of course, this is the reason for the Lakers.
With 106 points, you want to say how abnormal it is that it’s not appropriate.
The bigger reason actually comes from the Warriors.
In this game, the Warriors' two insides, Oden and Ibaka, are in excellent condition.
Let me talk about Oden first, his defensive end to Yao Ming's restrictions are much better than in the regular season.
This is actually a two-way issue. Yao Ming’s abnormal performance has his own reasons for his state, and it is also directly related to the opponent's defensive performance.
Then there is Ibaka.
Ibaka extended his excellent touch from the second half of the regular season to the conference finals.
He made 4 three-pointers from beyond the three-point line in the game! And the key is to make 4 of 7 shots and hit 57!
This kind of feel, especially when the Warriors hit the death five small lineup, even if Yao Ming doesn't go out, Millsap will change it out.
But the five small thing is so powerful that as long as you prevent it from going out, then you must be easy to miss other places.
This is the same reason that the Warriors were blown up inside during the Christmas game and couldn't play offensively.
After many matches, it can be seen that the two teams that represent the pinnacle of the big ball and the small ball are themselves restrained and mutually advantageous.
Whoever can give play to their own advantages will be able to take the initiative in the game.
But what can be seen is that when these two systems collide, the play of the inside line will be very critical.
Specifically, the Lakers are Yao Ming and the Warriors are Ibaka.
Of course, it's just more critical and can also be understood as the upper limit. It is the core of the two teams that decides to go offline.
Without Sun Hao's 41 points, the Lakers would not lose only a dozen points.
Similarly, relying solely on Ibaka's 4 three-pointers, the Warriors cannot get close to 118 points.
Now we will see if there will be any changes in the situation.
After the game of 1, the fans on social media showed two very different voices.
One is to praise Paul, to blow Paul to the sky, shoulder to shoulder with Iverson.
The other is the criticism of Yao Ming.
In the middle of the season, Sun Hao forced them back with a wave of discussions.
Just like the sentence in the anime Nezha's Devil Boy: The prejudice in people's mind is a big mountain, no matter how hard you work, you can never move it.
Those people have a prejudice against Yao Ming, and now Yao Ming is not playing well and the team loses. Naturally, they will not miss this opportunity.
Although Sun Hao did not wait for Sun Hao to speak this time, many "new users" have appeared on social media to interact with them. Yao Ming did not pay attention to social media, but the paper bag couldn't keep the fire, and some voices still caught Yao Ming's ear .
Originally, he was not in a good mood after losing, and these voices made him feel frustrated.
That kind of emotion can be felt during the training class.
Sun Hao saw it, but didn't say anything. Yao Ming can adjust this kind of thing himself.
This is not the time when they just entered the league.
After a day off, the East and West Division finals continued to play.
The Knicks lost in the first game, and their concentration in the second game was significantly higher. They suppressed the Bulls in the opening game and once pulled the score to double digits.
But the Bulls are obviously not vegetarian.
In the first game, Paul showed great power, and in this game Yi Jianlian and Bosh began to exert their strength.
And a very important point, although looking at the inside line is the twin towers lineup, but the twin towers move fast enough, not afraid of the Knicks' small ball play.
This is another key factor in addition to Paul that they can win in 1.
The two teams fought fiercely until the fourth quarter.
Then, the last quarter became a solo performance by James.
He drove at full power and continuously hit the inside for scoring.
The feeling of driving a tank on the road makes the Bulls a little bit overwhelmed inside.
Just like the relationship between big and small in the Western Conference Finals, flexible inside and traditional inside have their own advantages and disadvantages.
Under normal circumstances, Yi Jianlian and Bosh have long arms on the defensive end, enough to cope with the opponent's attack on the inside.
But this season, James has made obvious gains in order to improve his dominance, and they can't stop him from rushing.
In the last quarter, James relied on this rampage play, either scoring goals or fouling, and scored 20 points in a single quarter to help the Knicks win!
When James was old and impulsive, the fans couldn't help but sigh.
But it wasn't a joke that James rushed to fight when he was young.
At the end of the game, the uniform shouts of New York fans rang out throughout the arena.
"Little Emperor!"
This nickname passed down from Sun Hao, the fans cheered for him from the heart this evening.
Like 1, social media was very lively after the game, but this time they were not for Paul but for James.
And this feeling of "you sing and we are on the stage" also made fans hooked.
Who doesn't love the series of fairy fights!
And this year the gods are fighting more than the Eastern Conference Finals. As soon as the fight is over, the fans can't wait to turn their eyes to the West.
The Knicks got back 2 to 1 and 2 back to 1 city. Whether the Lakers can do the same thing in the Western Conference Finals is also worth paying attention to.
Of course, most of the fans are actually quite rational. After all, the Warriors are not diminished as a dynasty team. The difficulty for the Lakers to win a city is much greater than that of the Knicks against the Bulls.
But the game hasn't started yet, and the fans are naturally looking forward to it.
A day later, the Oracle Arena was full. In Los Angeles, more than 100 kilometers away, fans also poured into the Staples Center.
Now this kind of live broadcast support in away stadiums has become regular in high-profile matches.
The arena has money and is happy to make money. Although this ticket price will be lower than that of a normal game, it can save a lot of labor costs if it is not a normal game
Fans watching the ball are just a picture of the atmosphere, and they are naturally willing to pay for it.
Including the home arena, some away arena scenes will be timely cut to show the visiting team players.
So although it was not a live cheer, it did create a very good model.
In the warm-up before the game, Curry's player channel made a three-pointer. It can be seen that he is in a very good state and feel tonight.
After the opening ceremony, the starting lineups of the two teams were released one after another.
On the Warriors side, Curry, Thompson, Durant, Ibaka, Oden.
On the Lakers side, Sun Hao, Butler, Carter, Millsap, Yao Ming.
Harris changed the formation and replaced Knight with Butler in the starting lineup.
This lineup is also the starting lineup used by the Lakers during the previous Christmas Wars.
Yao Ming and Oden jumped the ball in midfield.
Yao Ming's expression looked a little serious.
Previously, frustration turned to frustration, but the intensity of his training was not less, even more.
What he is holding back is also trying to use practical actions to respond to those doubts from the outside world.
"beep!"
With a whistle from the sideline referee, Yao Ming immediately took off and dialed the ball back to half court.
Butler controlled the ball and the Lakers got the chance to attack first.
Sun Hao controlled the ball to the frontcourt and signaled Yao Ming to play a low triangle in the first round.
Sun Hao can feel Yao Ming's emotions, so he will definitely help Yao Ming find his status.
The ball went in, and the defense the Warriors chose was Oden's single defense.
Oden did a good job in the last game, and Nelson also gave him enough trust in this game.
Yao Ming held the ball with his back leaning against Oden, and after feeling the center of gravity, he walked to the basket and was blocked by Oden. He took advantage of the trend and turned around to hit the hook.
"boom!"
The ball hit the board very well, Yao Ming showed his soft touch.
However, it is a pity that after the ball hits the board, the landing point is not good, and it rebounds.
Yao Ming wanted to grab the offensive rebound, Oden stuck him at this time, and Ibaka retracted the rebound.
The Lakers' first wave of offense returned without success.
A lot of details can still be seen from this round.
One is Oden's defensive strategy. He knows Yao Ming's current state. More precisely, he doesn't feel well, so he always drives Yao Ming out when he is defensive.
The second word is that Oden knows that he has no advantage in one-on-one rebounding in front of Yao Ming's height, so it is more of a card than a grab, letting Ibaka collect the rebounds.
These two details show Oden's growth. After more game experience, this optimistic big man seems to be finally on the right track of his career.
Yao Ming didn't care much about the first ball.
After seeing the rebound being robbed, he turned and buried his head and ran into the backcourt.
This wave of reaction was rapid enough, the Warriors' fast break advanced to the frontcourt, Yao Ming has also reached the three-point line, and failed to form a direct scoring opportunity.
However, the Warriors quickly completed the offense. After a few drops from the outside, Curry took a shot one meter away from the three-point line.
This was actually already reflected in the first scene.
As a mad scientist, the old Nelson had a period of confusion after losing the Christmas War.
But he is not saying that the fate of the team is completely left to Ibaka's touch. His tactical adjustment is to speed up the attacking rhythm.
As long as the pace is fast, Yao Ming will run back and forth on the court more times and consume a lot of physical energy. Even if he is in good shape, the damage to the inside of the Warriors will be reduced.
"Huh!"
Curry's opening three-pointer on the court channel was not a free shot, and he made it the first time he came up!
The Oracle Arena burst into cheers instantly.
The Warriors took the lead!
The Lakers attacked the frontcourt, Sun Hao continued to give the ball in, and Yao Ming continued to beat Oden.
This time Yao Ming continuously turned around and wanted to squeeze to the basket and shoot.
But Oden's body was really thick enough, and he didn't squeeze through.
Although the "Chamberlain Garrussell fit" was exaggerated in the draft, this body is indeed at the historical level.
Yao Ming finally chose to turn to the bottom line and lean back slightly.
This is one of his signature offensive methods, even if he has not scored a thousand goals.
"when!"
But this hand feels like being cursed, and it obviously feels right, but the ball that was shot in the end was smashed out of the basket.
This time Oden himself protected the column rebounds.
Yao Ming, still running back with his head down.
Although depressed, his emotions are well controlled.
This also helped him. The Warriors were on the inside, and Yao Ming chased Curry's layup to cover the ball.
It's just that Curry reacted very quickly. He turned around after seeing the rebound and hit the ball.
5 to 0.
The Warriors showed an extremely hot state at the beginning.
This also made the Warriors fans on the scene extremely excited.
Because of this rhythm, the Warriors are likely to win two home games in a row.
The big score of 2 to 0, UU reading www. uukahnshu.com defeated the Lakers, a formidable enemy, and they were only one step away from completing their four consecutive championships!
Sun Hao, continue to hang the ball to Yao Ming.
Yao Ming's hook shot after another singles.
Unfortunately, the ball still bounced out!
Fortunately, Yao Ming is already mentally prepared this time, and he is the first to grab the spot and make a quick make-up.
The ball was made accurately, but in the end the ball came out of the frame!
Yao Ming finally made a slam dunk through Oden, but Oden is not a vegetarian, he was a little reluctant to make up, and the ball was smashed in the end...
Seeing the ball finally popped out of bounds, Yao Ming couldn't control his emotions at this time, bowed his head and exploded with a foul language.
This is really angry with myself.
The game lasted about 5 minutes and the score on the court was 6-14.
The Lakers have fallen behind the Warriors in double-digit scoring.
The tempo of the game does not seem to change from 1.
Yao Ming was blown off for his second foul in this quarter in a defense.
After being replaced, Yao Ming looked very depressed. He picked up the towel handed over by the staff and fell to the ground, then lowered his head and panted heavily.
This surprised everyone else.
Except for the remarks made on the All-Star game, Yao Ming has always felt that he is mild-tempered.
But perhaps it was precisely those remarks that Yao Ming was angry with himself.
At this time Durant was making a free throw, and Sun Hao went directly to Yao Ming, who bowed his head, and patted him on the shoulder.
Yao Ming looked up and the two looked at each other.
Sun Hao smiled and nodded.
There was no verbal communication, but the two seemed to have completed the communication.
When he returned to the court, Sun Hao put his hands on his knees, then raised his head and glanced at the score, with a trace of determination in his eyes.
The Lakers can't afford to lose tonight's game.
