Chapter 308 Chinese New Year and All-Stars
"boom!"
While the basketball was flying towards the basket, a figure also jumped up. Although it was a bit reluctant, it still dunked the basketball into the basket.
Flying pigs reappear!
Although the flying pig's body is rounder and its jump is shorter, it feels a little bit.
Of course, this attack was more due to Wang Hao's pass, and the cake was already on his lips.
Double-teaming Wang Hao also needs to bear the consequences.
This is a great test of the Timberwolves' teamwork ability, especially on the defensive end.
When Garnett chooses to double-team Wang Hao, how should Gerani McCoy solve it?
It is obviously impossible for Wang Hao not to pass the ball, but he cannot pass the ball actively, but is forced to pass the ball.
Only in this way, Garnett had time to return to defense.
7:0
In the home game, they were hit with a 7:0 spurt, and the Timberwolves fans were already a little anxious.
Fortunately, Garnett stepped forward in time. After all, he is a top star in the NBA, and he still has strength.
Jagged's big jumper finally hit, opening the scoring for the Timberwolves.
Jagged big jumpers all day long, do you want to be like this black family?Wang Hao didn't want to either, but the problem is.
Obviously a very ordinary mid-range jumper, after the goal he insisted on beating his chest and feet, his eyes widening.
No way, Gerani McCoy has tried his best.
Being too short is only one aspect, lack of strength is the key, otherwise he wouldn't be able to guard the drinking fountains professionally.
Apart from being able to interfere with Garnett with physical confrontation and small moves, he doesn't have much to do.
Not enough, that's enough.
With a salary of 100 million, you want him to overwhelm an opponent with 2000 million, which is a bit too much.
With the score just now, when facing Wang Hao's breakthrough again, Garnett did not double-team the first time.
But this time, Wang Hao naturally couldn't be soft-handed, he raised the knife and dropped it, and hit the mid-range steadily.
This time, he did not choose to break through, but played back singles.
Facing Wang Hao's endless offensive methods, Gary Trent was really helpless.
In the same way, with a salary of less than 100 million, it would be a bit embarrassing for you to let him become a star with an annual salary of tens of millions.
From the beginning of the game, the Sonics will firmly control the situation.
Especially Wang Hao, without the more reasonable requirement of having to play, he really did whatever he wanted.
It wasn't until this time that everyone suddenly discovered that it wasn't the supersonic system that made Wang Hao successful, but the supersonic system that restricted Wang Hao's attack.
Especially in the third quarter, Wang Hao's various unreasonable three-pointers made people stunned.
With 5 three-pointers in a single quarter, he directly killed the game.
The Timberwolves are definitely a strong team in the Western Conference. Although they are not the top, they are also regulars in the playoffs.
But such an opponent was brutally slaughtered at home.
118:93
A huge difference of 25 points, even when some points were moved back in garbage time.
You know, before this game, the Supersonics were not favored because of injuries and their three-game losing streak.
Even Wang Hao was questioned about his ability to lead the team.
However, under such circumstances, the Timberwolves suffered a disastrous defeat, and Wang Hao demonstrated his omnipotence.
With 47 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists, Wang Hao directly responded to all doubts with quasi-triple-double data.
Garnett's performance is not bad, 24 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists, which are actually very good statistics.
However, everything is afraid of comparison.
This looks pretty good stats, but if you compare it with Wang Hao, it's not enough.
Not to mention, Wang Hao also led the team to beat the Timberwolves, after all, winning is the most important thing.
After the game, the major media naturally praised Wang Hao, but he was somewhat immune.
In other words, you have to blow it harder, so that I can get excited!
In the next few games, the major media completely extinguished the idea of criticizing Wang Hao.
No way, he played too well.
In this week's game, the Supersonics won 4 consecutive victories. Of course, Wang Hao's performance was even more exaggerated.
Averaged 40.1 points, 7.1 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game, this performance shocked countless people's jaws.
More importantly, Wang Hao also won the best player of the week by virtue of his performance this week.
At the same time, the results of the second round of voting for the All-Star votes were released, and Wang Hao continued to be far ahead.
But this time, the American media finally did not exaggerate.
It's not that they don't want to, but they can't. After all, Wang Hao's performance is here, and no one can deny it.
At least judging from his performance during this period of time, to deny Wang Hao is to deny the entire NBA.
Not to mention that Wang Hao disagrees, neither does the NBA.
Of course, with the NBA's publicity, a large-scale All-Star voting atmosphere has also been set off across the United States.
The votes of many NBA stars have really caught up.
It's just that, with a gap of more than 30 votes, if nothing else happens, Wang Hao has a good chance to become the top voter in this competition.
It can be said that Wang Hao's achievements in the All-Star Game are already very good.
Three All-Stars, one All-Star MVP, one All-Star vote champion, and two All-Star three-point contests.
Not only that, he also won the Rookie Challenge MVP as a rookie.
Think about it carefully, almost a grand slam!
Excluding the entertainment competition, Wang Hao is only short of the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest champion, and Wang Hao will be able to win the All-Star Grand Slam.
As for the All-Star Skills Challenge, it hasn't been released this year, and it won't be held until next year.
This is an opportunity to punch in successfully!
Others check in to take a look, while Wang Hao checks in to win the championship.
Wang Hao suddenly remembered that since Carter participated in the slam dunk contest, the slam dunk contest has indeed become popular again.
It's just that, after that, the slam dunk contest returned to calm.
He remembered that the slam dunk contests in the past few years were actually very ordinary, and there were no impressive pictures.
It wasn't until the arrival of Little Potato Nate Robinson and Warcraft Master Huo that it aroused the attention of the whole people again.
Since the opponents in recent years have been average in strength, is it possible to play a game?
Because the best NBA is widely inviting NBA stars to participate in various All-Star events.
Only with the participation of stars can there be attention.
It's just that the NBA stars are actually not very happy to participate in these activities.
And Wang Hao, as the champion of the three-point contest in two quarters, is naturally the target of the NBA's official invitation.
After all, he has already won two consecutive championships, do you want to win three consecutive championships?
Wang Hao has already decided that he not only wants to participate in the three-point contest championship, but also participates in the slam dunk contest.
Looking at the explosive power of 85 and the bounce of 90, to be honest, Wang Hao still has some confidence.
Of course, his jumping and bursting can only be said to be okay, and cannot be compared with those jumping men.
But the slam dunk contest is not just about jumping. If you want to say that the jumper is high, it has to be the little potato Nate Robinson.
In fact, Nate Robinson's several dunk kings have the feeling that the tiger is not at home and the monkey is the king.
Especially in the competition with Howard, it was all kinds of tricks, and it could even be said to be illegal.
That is to say, Master Huo is big enough to not care about these things. If he really cared, Nate Robinson would not be able to win.
No way, because of his height, Nate Robinson couldn't complete many movements at all.
His dunks are more of temporary air time, and there are various leaping dunks.
And Wang Hao, if he wants to participate in the slam dunk contest, he should avoid showing bounce, but need height and creativity.
In the NBA, any inside star can win the slam dunk contest, so naturally he can too!
What's more, with the memory of later generations, he simply doesn't want to have too many wonderful dunk highlights in his mind.
All kinds of fancy and difficult dunks are simply too numerous to count.
David Stern was overjoyed when he heard that Wang Hao was willing to participate in the dunk contest.
Still the same sentence, everything is afraid of comparison.
The reason why the attention of other NBA All-Star games is low is not because the stars are unwilling to participate.
Just like the slam dunk contest in 2000, Carter came and naturally brought a lot of attention.
The NBA failed to invite star players, but they didn't want to.
Take a look at Wang Hao again. He not only participated in the All-Star Three-Point Contest for three consecutive years, but now he is also participating in the Slam Dunk Contest.
David Stern couldn't help thinking of himself.
Thinking of him as the dignified NBA president and the real power figure in the NBA, he had to humble himself in various ways.
What for?
Isn't it just to promote the NBA.
I have worked so hard, you NBA stars with high salaries are unwilling to participate in some activities and games.
For a while, Shinobu thinks more and more angry, and takes a step back and thinks more and more losses.
David Stern suddenly felt that Wang Hao is also an NBA star, and he should get more care.
Not to mention that the referee is biased, at least it must be that he must be treated as other stars are treated.
That's right, this is Wang Hao's ultimate goal.
After all, this year's playoffs are not peaceful, and of course he needs to have a good relationship with NBA officials.
He didn't dare to think about taking advantage, but he couldn't always be at a disadvantage, right?
Wang Hao's promise to participate in the slam dunk contest did not cause too many disturbances, just to have fun.
If you want to talk about the three-point contest, there is nothing to say, it is definitely a popular candidate for the championship.
But if you want to talk about the slam dunk contest champion, don't you think too much?
Yep, that's exactly what most of the media thinks.
However, with the emergence of these reports, this year's NBA dunk contest has also attracted more attention.
If you can't watch Wang Hao win the championship, you can watch him fail!
After all, as the current top international star, he not only has a lot of fans, but also a lot of black fans.
Wang Hao did not pay too much attention to this matter, but continued to play well. At this time, Gary Payton also came back.
The Sonics continued to win as Gary Payton returned from injury.
At this time, the Lakers finally fell behind. After all, O'Neal is still resting.
Kobe is also very good, one led the Lakers to victory.
It's just that one person is still not enough, not to mention that there are many strong teams in the NBA.
Previously, most of the big teams they encountered had naturally made great strides all the way and kept winning.
But now, successive encounters with playoff-level teams have caused the Lakers to suffer a lot.
A little bit of time passed, and in a blink of an eye, January was over.
In the first game in February, the Bulls challenged the Supersonics away, and Wang Hao met Artest again.
Before the game, the two found time to have a meal.
Looking at his old friend who is now a top NBA star, Artest is obviously a little envious.
After all, at St. John's University, he was the team leader, but now it is completely different.
Fortunately, Artest is also big-hearted, although he is a little envious, but there is no jealousy.
After all, he only had a fight with Kobe in the game last season, and he could become teammates with Kobe immediately.
What bad thoughts can such a person have?
During the meal, Artest was still talking about leading the Bulls to rise, and he would become the core of the Bulls.
Wang Hao was a little speechless, not knowing how to comfort his old teammates.
The trade deadline is approaching. At this time, the Bulls are probably thinking about how to sell Artest.
Don't lead the Bulls to rise, go to Indiana!
Artest's talent is there, but there is one more thing missing, to fully develop his talent.
This person is naturally Larry Bird.
Artest's rapid growth in the Pacers has a lot to do with Larry Bird's guidance.
As for the next day's game, there were naturally no surprises, and the Sonics won easily again.
In today's game, the Sonics used defense to torture the Bulls very uncomfortable.
Inside players can't get the ball, and outside players can't hold the ball steadily, so it's hard to get opportunities easily.
Forcibly passing the ball to the inside, the final result will only be mistakes.
And once the Bulls make a mistake, the Supersonic counterattack will immediately make the Bulls pay the price.
At the end of the three quarters, there was no suspense about the result.
After the game, Wang Hao talked to the head coach and left the locker room early.
And at this time, there were really people waiting for him outside the locker room.
"Dad, Mom! Thank you, Jack!"
Wang Hao said hello to the team staff, and then left with his parents.
"Look at you, it's just a game without any suspense. If there's anything to watch, just rest at home!"
Mom and Dad arrived in the United States yesterday, and they were jet-lagged, so they insisted on watching the game.
At the beginning, both of them were very excited to see their own son killing all directions in the arena.
But later, the son left the field, and the game became more and more boring, and the two suddenly lost their energy.
Dad yawned, and said a little unconvinced: "What are you talking about? I haven't seen you for half a year, and your mother misses you too!"
"Of course I miss my son. I admit it, but it's not like someone who keeps shouting when he's dreaming."
Wang Weiguo quickly distinguished: "How can you take a dream seriously?"
Wang Hao has already read it. This year's New Year's Eve is February 2, which is February 11 in the United States.
It just so happened that the SuperSonics' away game was over at that time, and they should have returned to Seattle early, which happened to be Chinese New Year.
However, it's a bit nonsense that the time of the All-Star Game also happens to be February 2.
In other words, Wang Hao's game was played on New Year's Eve.
I have to say, this is a bit speechless, it is convenient for the fans to watch the game, but it is not convenient for him to play the game!
Wang Hao now felt the pain of the Christmas War.
At that time, we can only celebrate the New Year in Philadelphia!
