Starting from the last bus in the NBA

In the battle of Tianwangshan, the Supersonics beat the Lakers.

"Wang Hao vs. OK Combination!"

Early the next morning, when the newspaper appeared in the eyes of the fans, they saw a very gimmicky news.

After all, as one of the most influential sports events in the United States, the NBA has a lot of fans.

It's just that, after all, there are only a few who can enter the arena to watch the game live.

There's no way, even for the regular season, which doesn't attract much attention, the cheapest ticket costs tens of dollars.

And in the playoffs, that price will skyrocket.

Not to mention, it's the Western Conference Finals now, and it's the Lakers vs. Sonics that has received much attention.

Hundreds, or even thousands of tickets, this is really not something ordinary people can afford.

As for televised broadcasting, this is the way most fans watch games, cheap and convenient.

It's just that there are still some fans who can neither watch the game live nor watch the TV broadcast.

After all, you are a worker, and you have to make a living.

And at this time, through newspapers and even some magazines, that is the way for them to learn about the NBA.

No way, after all, it is still a backward era.

After 20 years, this kind of thing should not be too simple, and there is no need to wait for the next day's newspaper.

As for today's newspapers, they are naturally reporting yesterday's Tianwangshan battle.

This is not only the case in the United States, but also in China.

Chang Rui is an ordinary skilled worker. Although he is a college student, his daily work is not easy.

As a college graduate, it's not impossible to live a more relaxed life.

But, he can't.

Two years after graduating from college, I have already bought a house with a mortgage on my back, and I just got married not long ago.

Not only that, but the couple is planning to have a baby.

One mountain after another pressed down on him, making Chang Rui dare not be careless at all.

Even the basketball that he once loved has become farther and farther away from him. He has already forgotten how long ago it was the last time he galloped recklessly on the basketball court.

The only thing that still makes him have some concerns about basketball is to pay close attention to the games of the NBA and the national team.

To put it more clearly, he is actually concerned about Wang Hao.

He remembered very clearly that it was about six years ago, before the Chinese national team participated in the Atlanta Olympics, they trained in the United States.

At that time, it was the first time he learned about the NBA seriously. Before that, his understanding of the NBA was limited to Jordan.

As a college student, he has a strong ability to accept new things, and he has learned a lot.

On the eve of his graduation, he suddenly heard that a Chinese player had entered the NBA.

At that time, many friends around did not believe it at all.

Even if it is confirmed later, everyone is not so sure about Wang Hao's future in the NBA.

They are more willing to believe that Wang Zhizhi, our chasing boy, is more able to gain a foothold in the NBA.

However, before everyone could react, Wang Hao grew up rapidly.

However, the shock that Wang Hao brought to them was not only that.

"Amazing, as expected of my Brother Hao!"

Chang Rui is actually older than Wang Hao, but that doesn't prevent him from calling him that.

It was a pity for him not to be able to watch the battle of Tianwang Mountain yesterday because of work.

Today, the only way to find out about the situation is through newspapers.

In addition to winning or losing during the game, what fans like Chang Rui pay the most attention to is naturally Wang Hao's personal performance.

To put it bluntly, it is data.

Don't say that data is not important. In fact, to a large extent, data is the most important.

That is to say, Wang Hao didn't know about this, otherwise, he would definitely say that this is very familiar.

In the original time and space, he did the same.

If he missed the live broadcast of the Mosaic game, he will definitely check the game through the newspaper or go online.

Take a look, whether Mosaic is winning or losing, and then analyze it again.

Is it because of Yao Ming's wonderful performance, leading the team to win, or is it because of his teammates' poor performance that led to the loss?

"Hold the grass, it's amazing!"

43 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists, a super triple-double performance.

According to the newspaper, it was Wang Hao fighting the OK group alone and winning.

Well, here is purely data performance.

For the OK combination, for O'Neal and Kobe, Chang Rui actually still has some understanding.

Great!

The championship for two consecutive years and the elimination of the Sonics for two consecutive years, such an opponent is naturally very powerful.

Chang Rui quickly took a look at the performance of the Lakers, and suddenly found that the OK team actually performed well.

奥尼尔30分13篮板，只不过呢，25投12中命中率，罚球13中6。

This efficiency, for others, may be considered a good scoring efficiency.

It's just that, for O'Neal, it's far below his average.

As for the reason, it is naturally because under the double-teaming of the Supersonic Speed, he had many strong hits.

科比则是26投11中，42%的命中率，三分球8中3，罚球8中7。

In the whole game, he scored 32 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists.

I have to say that Kobe and O'Neal are really good, and they can solve most teams just by relying on their personal strength.

It's just that blindly falling into singles is very bad for the team.

"This OK combination is okay, but it's a pity that compared with our brother Hao, it's still a bit worse!"

After reading the newspaper on the bus, Chang Rui couldn't wait to share it with a few friends.

If there is no one to share or chat about this kind of thing, it is really uncomfortable.

In the huge Huaxia, there are actually many people like Chang Rui. They like basketball and silently support Wang Hao.

Wang Hao didn't know about Chang Rui, but he also knew that Huaxia had a lot of fans supporting him.

No, Wang Hao said a lot of words of thanks when he was interviewed by CCTV again.

He comes from the fans himself, he really knows how the fans entertain themselves.

It is undoubtedly very sad to meet an idol who does not take himself seriously.

Don't think it's impossible, in fact there are many.

Through Zhang Weiping, Wang Hao also learned that the national team and Wang Zhizhi had completely solved the problem.

In other words, as long as we meet each other and have a good chat about this kind of thing, the two parties can make a compromise, and there is no problem at all.

In fact, Wang Zhizhi and the national team applied to stay in the United States to play in the summer league, and then returned to the national team to report.

The summer league will end at the end of June, and by then, Wang Zhizhi will have time to devote himself to the training of the national team.

Not to mention others, it seems that Wang Hao will not be able to enter the national team training until the end of June.

After all, the Supersonics, who just won the battle of Tianwangshan and led 3:2, have already won the match point.

Of course, it's just that they have a better chance, not 100%.

The Lakers also went all out, and at the end of the last game, they directly closed the team.

Neither Bryant nor O'Neal participated in the press conference, but was attended by Phil Jackson with several veteran players.

For the questions raised by the media, they practiced Tai Chi in various ways.

Failure to get big news has angered many media, and some media have already complained to NBA officials.

However, even if they are officially punished by the NBA, the Lakers will not compromise at this time.

Let O'Neal and Kobe out for an interview, who knows if they will say anything.

What they need to do now is to fully prepare for the sixth game.

On May 5, Game 31 of the Eastern Conference Finals started first, and the New Jersey Nets made it through in an away game.

In today's game, the Nets' performance can only be considered average, after all, it is an away game.

It's a pity that the Celtics didn't live up to it.

Especially the two leading stars, Paul Pierce and Antoine Walker, unexpectedly lost the chain at a critical moment.

The two of them were completely out of shape today, and they hit the iron like crazy, with a hit rate of less than 35%, which was a mess.

It doesn't matter if he's not in good shape, and he doesn't use his brain when playing.

If you are not in good shape, you have made a breakthrough. Even if you can't score the ball, you still have a chance to make a foul!

After all, this is the Celtics' own home court.

The Nets' striker, a Keith Van Horn, and a Kenyon Martin, are not considered defensive gates.

As for a pure insider, Todd Mike Lodge is just a tool man for a fake starter.

But the Celtics just didn't break through, they just shot. Tiger just wanted to play, and finally lost himself.

It doesn't matter if they don't break through, and they throw three-pointers frantically.

Throughout the game, the Celtics threw 30 three-pointers, of which Antoine Walker and Paul Pierce threw 16.

As a result, the two made 3 three-pointers, and the Celtics team only made 7 three-pointers.

Head coach Jim O'Brien also has problems. Players don't know how to play. Are you the head coach and don't know how to adjust?

The Nets are the first to advance to the Finals!

On the first day of June, the Sonics came to Los Angeles again.

At this moment, the eyes of fans all over the world are focused on Los Angeles and the Staples Center.

The sixth game between the Lakers and the SuperSonics has begun!

Moreover, before the start of the game, the Lakers played a lot of scenes.

The first is the OK combination. O'Neill and Kobe finally appeared in front of the media and were interviewed.

Not one after the other, but together.

Obviously, the two reconciled, and it is estimated that this is mostly due to Jerry Buss.

Not only that, Kobe also responded to the previous news, saying that the reporter took it out of context.

Kobe: "I did say Shaq didn't like to practice, and that's because he didn't need to.

He doesn't need to invest a lot of time in training at all, his strength is enough to solve all problems. "

Still, it's incredible to force Kobe to say something so insincere.

It seems that under the pressure of Jerry Buss and the pressure of losing, Kobe also chose to compromise.

As for O'Neal, he naturally denied that he had a bad relationship with Kobe, and the two also showed their brotherhood.

The reporter also mentioned that the two did not pass the ball to each other in the last game, but they both denied it.

"We just fell into the trap of the Sonics, we were divided, and we could only fall into singles."

"But these are not problems. We have solved the problems and we will definitely have a wonderful performance today."

……

O'Neal and Kobe didn't talk about it casually. They surprised the Sonics as soon as the game started.

Kobe was holding the ball outside, and it was Wang Hao who was defending him.

Suddenly, Kobe started to break through, and as soon as Wang Hao turned up, he immediately hit a wall.

That's right, it was O'Neal. It was really surprising that O'Neal took the initiative to pick and roll Kobe.

And Kobe reciprocated. After breaking through and attracting double-teams, he decisively threw the ball into the air.

O'Neal, who had already rushed to the basketball, leaped high, caught the ball with both hands, and slammed it hard at the basket.

The basket kept shaking, as if it would collapse at any moment.

"Shaq, Shaq..."

"Kobe, Kobe..."

"Lakers, Lakers..."

O'Neal's iconic dunk was explosive enough to ignite the emotions of the fans in an instant.

The Lakers fans kept shouting that they had no intention of losing at all.

Perhaps, this is the temperament of the championship team, and even the fans are extremely confident.

Wang Hao took a deep breath, and he could tell that today's game was definitely very difficult.

In the Supersonic offense, Gary Payton advanced the organization with the ball.

He took the initiative to signal to Wang Hao, and Wang Hao didn't delay, and immediately came to pick and roll outside the three-point line.

The Lakers came up with a trick from the beginning, and the Sonics didn't plan to hide it anymore.

Wang Hao directly played a pick-and-roll with Gary Payton.

Both Wang Hao and Gary Payton are versatile players who can shoot, shoot and pass. They have too many choices.

It is not easy to defend such a player, not to mention, they also played pick and roll.

It's like many years later, the Warriors pick and roll Curry and Durant, and the Cavaliers pick and roll Irving and James.

In this case, you must switch defenses immediately, otherwise, if you are one step slower, you will have no chance to defend again.

But can switching defenses solve the problem?Obviously not!

The Lakers responded quickly, Fisher and Kobe quickly switched defenses, and Kobe first looked at Gary Payton.

It's just that, the basketball in Gary Payton's hand was quickly given to Wang Hao.

When Fisher saw it, he felt a little uncomfortable. He seemed to have imagined the bad situation tonight.

Not tall enough, what Fisher thought was to stick to Wang Hao as much as possible and prevent him from pulling.

However, just when Fisher was sticking too tightly, Wang Hao directly chose to break through.

Moreover, after a physical confrontation with Wang Hao, he completely lost his defensive position.

Facing the pressure of losing, O'Neal didn't shoot this time, but made up defense immediately.

Wang Hao didn't hesitate either, and chose to fight head-on.

Seeing that O'Neal was right in front of him, Wang Hao suddenly pushed the ball out with one hand, and the direction was right behind O'Neal.

At this moment, O'Neill suddenly thought of the last game, and the ball was forced by PJ Brown.

Subconsciously, he couldn't help but look back.

Then the next moment, he realized that the basketball was still in Wang Hao's hands, and it hadn't been passed out at all.

This is the advantage of a large palm, no matter what kind of ball, no matter whose ball it is, can be held with one hand.

When O'Neill turned around again, it was already too late, and Wang Hao had already jumped high.
