"CCTV, CCTV..."
Wang Hao led the Supersonics to the NBA Finals, which is also unprecedented for China.
CCTV will naturally not miss such an opportunity.
It's just that there are no familiar faces in today's TV broadcast.
Two young people actually appeared on the commentary screen of the TV station.
"Hello, audience friends, I am today's host Yu Jia!"
"Hello fans, I am Su Junyang, today's commentator."
……
There is no way, Sun Zhengping and Zhang Weiping are still in the United States, and they still have to give live commentary.
CCTV can only arrange another host and commentator, and they have to change anyway, and they can simply replace them with young people.
After all, young people make up the vast majority of NBA fans.
Yu Jia still looked a little nervous, but he still has the foundation of hosting, he asked.
"What does Teacher Su think of today's game?"
"There is nothing to say about this, including me and the audience in front of the TV, they must all support the supersonic."
"That's right, we are all Supersonics fans, but what do you think is the Supersonics' winning percentage?"
"Actually, the pattern of the NBA in recent years is that the West is strong and the East is weak, and the advantages are very obvious.
In last year's Finals, the Lakers swept the championship, and this year's Eastern Conference champion is the New Jersey Nets.
However, when the Nets had a regular season record of 52 wins and 30 losses, this record can only rank sixth in the West. "
……
In the midst of much anticipation, the game is about to start!
Players from both sides have finished their final shooting warm-ups and have left the arena. The referee is making final confirmation with the technical table.
At this moment, the major TV stations are also carrying out the final procedures to predict the outcome of the game.
The same goes for CCTV, Zhang Weiping also made a prediction, he said bluntly.
"Sitting at home, the Sonics have no reason to lose!"
Seeing Zhang Weiping talking so full of words, this is not the style of CCTV's live broadcast, Sun Zhengping said.
"The Sonics do have an advantage, but we can't underestimate the New Jersey Nets.
The media has analyzed before that the Nets are also based on the perimeter, somewhat similar to the Supersonics, and may have a restraint effect. "
Zhang Weiping said with a smile: "That's true, but it's just a matter of two points. The Nets restrained the Supersonics, but they were also restrained by the Supersonics."
Well, Sun Zhengping also discovered that Zhang Weiping couldn't be pulled back.
However, it is not necessary, because like thousands of Huaxia fans, he also hopes that the Supersonics can win.
Or, to be more specific, what they hope is that Wang Hao, a compatriot, can win.
Speaking of the Nets, many people may have misunderstood.
Many people think that Kidd's appearance has changed the offense of the Nets, thus giving the Nets a 360-degree change.
Why a 360-degree change?
This is not other people's nonsense, but Kidd himself said that his arrival will make the Nets change 360 degrees?
360 degrees?Isn't this back to the original place?
It turns out that before Owen's "The Earth Is Flat", there was Kidd's "360-degree rotation".
Throughout the season, the Nets' offense, in the entire NBA, is actually only in the middle.
Averaged 96.2 points per game, ranking No.13 in the rush.
Kenyon Martin had 14.9 points, Keith Van Horn had 14.8 points, Kidd had 14.7 points, and Corey Kiddles had 13.4 points.
Looking at these data, do you feel that the Nets play too much team, real team basketball.
It's just that, to put it another way, the Nets' offense does not have a strong enough scorer.
The offense of the Nets is actually very average. In fact, Kidd is not the kind of point guard who can change the offense.
Iverson, Steve Nash, these two people are.
The reason is that Kidd's offense is unstable. After all, he is a traditional point guard.
Today, the offensive system of the Nets is actually a bit like the Suns in the Nash era who were broken in the middle.
When attacking the position, it mainly relies on Kidd and the inside to play pick and roll, but it is the air cut of the striker.
It's just that, is there a spectrum for the positional attack?It depends on how Kidd feels about today's game.
If he feels good, then under his passing organization, the Nets will naturally play smoothly.
If he feels good, after the pick-and-roll, he can't attract the defense, and the Nets' offense will be mostly useless.
In fact, the Nets' offense relies more on the counterattack after a successful defense.
Although he failed to play the offensive of the Suns in the Nash era, Kidd passed the ball well.
Moreover, Kenyon Martin and Keith Van Horn are the kind of players who can move and participate in the fast break.
With Kidd's arrival, what really changed was the Nets' defense.
This season, the Nets averaged only 92 points per game, ranking fifth in the league.
Moreover, his data is not like some teams, which constantly suppress the number of offensive rounds and reduce points lost.
The Nets' average number of rounds per game ranks among the top ten in the league, but they have a top five low point loss in the league.
Not only that, the Nets' opponents' offensive shooting percentage was suppressed by them to less than 43%.
Speaking of the Nets' defense, Kidd is definitely the key point.
The others are mainly single-defense, keeping an eye on their opponents, and more of them are Kidd's assisted defense.
In the game of the Nets, it can often be seen that Kidd's defense is everywhere.
In addition, the most important point of the Nets' defense is the height of the defense.
Especially the height of the striker, Kenyon Martin 206 cm and Keith Van Horn 208 cm, both can be used as a center forward.
After some description, does it feel familiar?
A more defensive Nash-era Suns?
Of course not, isn't this the Seattle SuperSonics?
It's just that the similarity between the two teams lies in the rhythm of the offensive and defensive transition after the strong defense.
In addition, the gap between the two teams is huge!
"Di!"
With the referee's whistle sounded, the game officially began under the eyes of everyone.
The starting lineup of the Supersonic side is naturally the old rule, which has not changed.
As for the Nets, the starting center is Todd Mike Rocky, the tall Keith Van Horn and Kenyon Martin are on the front line, and Corey Kiddles and Jason Kidd are on the back line.
In fact, the difference between the two teams can be seen from the starting lineup.
Although the Nets are seeking the rhythm of offensive and defensive transitions, Byron Scott is still a rigid coach thinking.
In any case, a center forward must be placed in the starting lineup.
Relying on Kidd's feed, Todd Mike Lodge's data is not bad, with 9.7 points and 6.1 rebounds.
However, the existence of this big center has seriously hindered the Nets' offensive and defensive conversion speed.
Although the starting lineup has not changed, it's just that the Supersonics have also made fine-tuning in the starting lineup.
Swap between Wang Hao and Michael Reid.
There is no way, Michael Reed's defense is just like that, especially in terms of strength, there are still some shortcomings.
There's no way, he's still a pitcher after all, it's okay if you let him run along, but if you really try hard, it won't be enough.
The Nets' small forward is Keith Van Horn.
In fact, both Kenyon Martin and Keith Van Horn are considered forward swingers, but Keith Van Horn has shooting ability.
With a height of 208 centimeters and a weight of more than 100 kilograms, it is estimated that Michael Reed is really too much.
Facing Todd Mike Lodge, PJ Brown was even better, picked up the ball, and the Supersonics attacked first.
Gary Payton dribbled the ball for half the court, facing Kidd, an old friend, he didn't insist on singles.
If it was a few years ago, he would definitely still have this kind of thought, but it has long since disappeared.
He gave the ball to Wang Hao, and then took the initiative to pull away, taking Kidd away as much as possible.
However, Kidd did not follow.
Because the Nets are not using a purely man-to-man defense, but a zone defense that is now allowed.
Kidd is the key point of that zone defense.
Wang Hao held the ball, and Lewis immediately brought it up to play the pick-and-roll. This was the opening tactic of the Supersonics.
Use Wang Hao's personal ability to attract double-teams and help teammates find opportunities to shoot.
It was Corey Kiddles who defended Wang Hao. He was blocked by Lewis and had to choose to squeeze past him.
Facing Wang Hao, no one would dare to choose a pick-and-roll.
At this time, Wang Hao was facing Kenyon Martin, and Kenyon Martin was facing Wang Hao.
He chose to take a step back and not give a chance to break through. In addition, he also prevented Lewis from pulling to the outside.
However, how could Wang Hao be polite, two steps inside the three-point line, he directly chose to shoot.
"Shh!"
2:0
Although the pick-and-roll is to create opportunities for his teammates, it's just that he won't be polite when he has a chance.
"Hey, idiot, do you only dare to cast outside? If you have the ability to fight like a man."
At this moment, Wang Hao suddenly felt that this guy didn't seem to be that stupid, and he actually knew how to be aggressive.
It's just that this level of provocation is ineffective against him.
The Nets' offense, Kidd dribbled the ball halfway, and then passed the ball.
He is a traditional point guard, not a big core with the ball, and he doesn't need to hold the ball in his hands all the time.
Just like Gary Payton was afraid of Kidd, Kidd didn't have the confidence to fight hard against Gary Payton's defense.
The Nets conducted a burst of conduction, wanting to find opportunities.
Keith Van Horn held the ball and suddenly played a pick-and-roll with Kenyon Martin, and Wang Hao faced Kenyon Martin.
This is the tactics of the Nets, using the advantages of the front line to create opportunities to play big and small.
Kenyon Martin and Keith Van Horn, no matter who is facing the Sonics at the third position, they are considered big and small.
"Coward, watch out, what is a man's battle!"
Kenyon Martin made a sudden effort, wanting to knock Wang Hao into the air, it would be better if he could make another dunk.
This may completely anger Wang Hao!
However, when he exerted his strength suddenly, he suddenly found that there was nothing behind him, and he didn't hit anything.
But when he exerted force suddenly, his whole body inevitably fell backwards, completely losing his balance.
That's right, Wang Hao removed the stool very simply!
The so-called defense is not just brute force. In more cases, skill is far more important than brute force!
Kenyon Martin lost his balance and fell to the ground. Naturally, it was impossible to control the basketball. Wang Hao quickly made a steal.
Without any delay, the Sonics immediately launched a fast break.
Wang Hao advanced quickly, suddenly accelerated, passed Corey Kiddels, and was about to hit the basket.
At this time, Keith Van Horn had to make up the defense.
It's just that, after attracting the Nets' defense, Wang Hao quickly threw the ball to the outside.
At this time, including Gary Payton, Michael Reid, and Lewis have all followed.
This is the offensive and defensive transition of the Supersonics. Wang Hao has too many passing points to choose from.
In the end, he gave the ball to Michael Redd, who was in a better position.
Michael Reid also lived up to Wang Hao's expectations, and he made a steady hit from outside the three-point line.
5:0
Seeing Wang Hao's return, Kenyon Martin's eyes were full of anger, and he chattered endlessly in Wang Hao's ear.
"Coward, you are a coward!"
Wang Hao looked at Kenyon Martin, like an idiot, and was really speechless.
Does he really doubt now, is this guy out of his mind, or is he really smart?
Let's say he's out of his mind, but this guy can also be aggressive.
But if you say that he is very smart, what this guy does is so stupid!
In the Nets' offense and positional battle, they still don't have much to do.
Kidd took advantage of the screen to run out of opportunity and made a mid-range shot.
It's just that Gary Payton quickly followed up and interfered, and Kidd's shot missed.
He is obviously the core of organizing passing, but he has to catch and shoot after running.
This is the offensive weakness of the Nets!
Wang Hao protected the rebound and advanced quickly again. They never missed an opportunity to switch offense and defense.
Outside the three-point line, Wang Hao, who was traveling at high speed, suddenly slowed down, which made Corey Kiddels dare not be careless.
After all, everyone knows that Wang Hao's words are three-point firepower.
However, at the moment Corey Kiddles pressed forward, Wang Hao accelerated again.
With just one step, Corey Kiddles broke through, and this guy wanted to interfere a little bit.
It's just that, with such a small body, it was easily squeezed away.
Meanwhile, the Nets' defensive formation was not set up at all, with only Keith Van Horn around.
Wang Hao made a light pick, and before Keith Van Horn's defense came, he easily hit the board and scored.
7:0
"7:0, the Sonics took control of the situation as soon as the game started."
"They completely crushed the Nets on both ends of the floor, and Kidd and the Nets couldn't resist that."
"My God, is this year's finals going to lose suspense?"
……
The commentators of the major TV stations exclaimed loudly, and they were really shocked.
Although I knew it earlier, when the Nets faced the Supersonics, they didn't actually have much advantage.
But they never expected that the gap would be so obvious.
The game lasted only 2 minutes, and the Nets seemed helpless at both ends of the power amplifier.
At the same time, cheers continued to sound over the key arena.
"Supersonic, supersonic..."
"King, king..."
Their own players are so powerful, as fans, they naturally can't be too quiet.
The atmosphere of mountains and tsunami, like pressure, rushed towards the Nets players heavily.
That's home field advantage.
It's just that there is seriousness in the look of the Nets, but there is no fear.
