Chapter 375 All-Star Start
Wang Hao's pass was very timely, and the moment he saw the opportunity, he had already thrown the ball
Reggie Simmons jumped high, caught the ball with both hands and smashed it hard to the basket, a wonderful alley-oop.
13:22
Even chasing 5 points, the Nets also found that something was wrong. It seemed that today's Supersonics were different from the game just now.
Of course it is different, more positive.
Corey Kiddles used off-the-ball running to find a chance to make a shot and hit a mid-range jumper.
However, after scoring two points, the Nets' defense failed to limit the Sonics' offense.
Wang Hao broke through and scored consecutively, Quentin Richardson and Wang Zhizhi both scored.
Not only that, after his teammates scored consecutively, the Nets did not dare to double-team Wang Hao.
And the result of allowing Wang Hao to play one-on-one singles is to keep him scoring.
Relying on Wang Hao's two consecutive three-pointers, the Supersonics once overtook the score.
It's a pity that in the last half minute, the Nets pulled the score back.
Although Kidd is not a scorer, he is still very comfortable facing Earl Watson.
When he needs to score, he can really score.
Not only that, Byron Scott also chose to adjust very flexibly and played an internal pick-and-roll.
That's right, Jason Collison picked and rolled Kenyon Martin.
Kenyon Martin singled out the slower Wang Zhizhi, let alone that, it was really unstoppable.
Wang Zhizhi's pace was too slow, and he couldn't take advantage of Kenyon Martin in confrontation.
Fortunately, he is in good condition. He has scored 6 points in 6 minutes of his first game.
Otherwise, it is impossible for Paul Westphal to keep him on the court.
Again, although Wang Hao recommended Wang Zhizhi to the Sonics, there would be no interference.
Whether he can gain a foothold in the team depends on Wang Zhizhi's ability.
In this regard, Wang Hao still has some confidence. Under the right position, his offensive ability is still very good.
29:32
At the end of the first quarter, the Sonics trailed by two points.
It's just that Wang Hao was firing on all cylinders, scoring 10 points in the first quarter.
And, this is just the beginning.
There is no way, the main players are not in good condition, and the substitute lineup is very active, but the strength lies there.
Wang Hao also understood that he had to rely on himself in this game.
Moreover, his condition today is also very good. At the beginning of the second quarter, he hit a 3-pointer against Jefferson.
More than that, when the main lineup returned, the Sonics actually played the old tactics.
Wang Hao started playing off the ball.
This is also impossible, Wang Hao will be double-teamed while holding the ball, and his teammates can't help him relieve the pressure.
Naturally, you can only play without the ball and minimize the time of holding the ball.
Needless to say, the effect is good, Wang Hao is in good condition, hitting three-pointers one after another.
The 6-of-4 three-pointer in a single quarter was a highlight moment for him to score 20 points in a single quarter.
With 30 points in the half, the Sonics finally overtook the score.
57:50
The total score of the whole team is not as much as Wang Hao, so it is not difficult to see the overall state of the Supersonics.
The Christmas War deserves to be the Christmas War.
I thought that under Wang Hao's explosion, the Supersonics should be able to accept the game today.
It's just that, after the second half, the Nets ushered in a big explosion.
I don't know what Byron Scott said during the halftime break, which really inspired the morale of the Nets.
The second half of the game hadn't started yet. When they first came to the court, all the Nets players had red eyes.
And after the game started, it was even more crazy.
Kidd, Corey Kiddles, and Jefferson hit three-pointers one after another, feeling so hot.
He scored 4 consecutive three-pointers in the opening game, and was a little confused by the Supersonics directly, and he was a little lost.
The score, which was still slightly ahead, was directly overtaken by the Nets in a short period of time.
Not only that, the point difference even expanded to double digits.
It seemed that the scene in the first half was repeating itself, but it made Wang Hao quite helpless.
Thanks to him scoring 5 points in a row, the situation was stabilized.
Moreover, he is also very clear that in the current situation, there is no need to think that his teammates can help.
He didn't think much about it, and simply chose to come by himself.
Another three-pointer hit, this is already his eighth three-pointer in this game.
With this goal, time was running out in the third quarter, and Kidd's halftime attempt was fruitless.
80:85
At the end of the third quarter, Wang Hao scored another 13 points. He has already scored 46 points in the game.
It's a pity that under such an amazing situation, the team is still behind.
Paul Westphal saw that the player's condition was not good, so he simply let the player in good condition play.
In the fourth quarter, he simply let Wang Hao play with a substitute.
Not to mention, at least the enthusiasm is guaranteed, and more importantly, they have a basket.
As long as the ball can be thrown into the basket, the Nets will not dare to double-team unscrupulously.
And Wang Hao, He Zhen has the power to kill people.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, he first used his teammates to cover, and then shot directly after dribbling.
Immediately afterwards, another breakthrough foul was made.
Only two rounds of offense allowed the SuperSonics to tie the game again.
Moreover, even scoring 5 points is just the beginning.
Because soon, he made 10 three-pointers in the game, which scared the Nets.
Whenever Wang Hao catches the ball outside the three-point line, there will be players from the Nets rushing to the outside line immediately.
And this also gave Wang Hao a chance, after all, he is not only good at throwing three-pointers.
Continuous mid-range fallbacks, even breakthrough layups, scored again and again.
In front of him, the Nets' defense is like paper on a window, which can be easily broken.
When Wang Hao scored 17 points in a single quarter again, the Nets could only raise their hands and surrender.
There is no way not to surrender. There is less than 1 minute left in the game, and the point difference can no longer be evened out.
115:106
When the game whistle sounded, all eyes were on one person.
Not just the cameras, but also the countless fans at the scene.
"I have to admit, this is indeed an incredible scoring performance."
Even the on-site host of the Nets had to admit this fact at this time.
Even the fans of the Nets had sparse applause at this time.
Facing this guy who just stole their championship, even they have to admit that this guy is difficult to deal with.
62 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists, this is definitely a historical performance, especially on a stage like the Christmas game.
More importantly, his scoring is not out of the brush, the Nets are finals-level opponents.
Moreover, his high scores are not simply obtained by shots.
本场比赛，王昊38投21中，三分球17投10中，罚球11中10。
To be honest, today's match was just a coincidence.
The overall state of the Sonics is not good, but the Nets are full of obsession with victory.
Under such circumstances, if the Supersonics want to win again, they can't just rely on Wang Hao's performance.
Unfortunately, Wang Hao's condition is not bad.
This is also the second 60+ in Wang Hao's career, and his scoring ability is fully revealed.
Looking at the entire NBA, that is also the existence of the first gear.
"The omnipotent king, this is the real Jordan successor."
"Who else can stop this guy?"
"NBA No. 1?"
……
A stage like the Christmas game was originally carefully crafted by the NBA and attracted much attention.
Coupled with such a wonderful performance by Wang Hao, it naturally attracted countless attentions immediately.
On the second day, related news was already raging.
Celebrities from all walks of life, especially NBA stars, are naturally unavoidable to be asked about relevant news.
Jordan: "Yes, I have always felt that Wang is the one who is most like me.
From the way of playing to the comprehensiveness of the offensive means, I can see my shadow from him. "
Bryant: "It's really a wonderful performance, but I don't think it's very difficult."
Iverson: "It's really cool to have such a wonderful performance on the stage of the Christmas game."
Carter: "Of course, Wang's performance was brilliant, it was absolutely beyond imagination.
But we must also understand that basketball should be a team sport, and this is not the only way to win. "
……
Facing the turmoil from the outside world, Wang Hao, as the protagonist and the party involved, naturally cannot escape.
However, he can also handle it with ease.
In fact, he didn't have time to think about these things, because the Sonics lost again.
The supersonic strength has not declined, but the state is intermittent, and it seems that there is no continuity.
It seems that after a while, a game will be lost.
In this regard, Wang Hao is also very helpless. In fact, not only his teammates, but he also has a similar mentality.
Except, he's better.
Especially in the game, even if the opening state is not good, they can adjust the state in time.
The reason is the relaxation after winning the championship.
Paul Westphal, as the rookie champion coach, obviously didn't pay attention to this problem at the beginning.
It's just that, as an old Jianghu, if you haven't eaten pork, can you see a pig running?
During this period of time, he also discovered the problem.
No, since the Christmas game, Paul Westphal immediately stricted the game discipline.
Wang Hao and Gary Payton, who hadn't been criticized for a while, became his targets again.
That's right, he was trying to make an example to others.
Seeing that both Wang Hao and Gary Payton were scolded and scolded by the head coach, the state of the team has indeed changed.
Seeing that it is entering January, the atmosphere in the Sonics has indeed become a bit serious.
The relaxed state that I didn't care about at first is also disappearing little by little.
Throughout January, the Sonics lost just two games, one to the Spurs and one to a complete Lakers team.
That's right, after O'Neal returned, the Lakers really seemed to have changed a team.
However, when the time came to February, everyone turned all their attention to the All-Stars.
The NBA All-Star Game has always attracted attention, but this time it has attracted more attention.
First of all, in the Western Conference starters, Yao Ming's All-Star votes still occupy the leading position.
It was originally thought that O'Neal's All-Star votes might overtake Yao Ming, but now it seems that the gap is widening further.
A very real problem is that compared with the original time and space, there are now more Chinese fans who follow the NBA.
In the original time and space, Yao Ming was able to cast Yao Ming into the All-Stars without experiencing the Chinese market developed by the NBA.
Not to mention the current situation.
Because of Wang Hao, Huaxia fans got to know NBA earlier and fell in love with NBA earlier.
There are so many Huaxia fans, not all of them support Yao Ming, but most of them are like this.
In this case, relying solely on Los Angeles fans, O'Neal has no chance of winning.
This made O'Neill very angry. During the recent games, this guy has been looking for vent.
It's a pity that in the previous match against Mosaic, although he did play very well, Yao Ming was not bad either.
Especially at the beginning of the game, O'Neal was given three caps in a row, which directly stunned O'Neal.
It's a focal point in the West, and it's also in the East.
It is also because of the problem of the All-Star starter that Jordan has not been recognized by most fans.
It's pretty unbelievable, to be honest.
Even in the original time and space, Wang Hao didn't think about it. It's only been a few years, why the fans don't recognize Jordan?
Now, he has discovered the problem.
This has to start with the reform of the NBA's All-Star voting, especially the reform of the voting method.
Since last year, the NBA has used online voting to participate in voting for NBA All-Star starters.
And this year, the NBA has fully entered the era of online voting, and paper voting has been cancelled.
But the problem is that it is often young people who can accept the Internet, that is, young fans.
And for some older fans, they simply cannot use a computer.
This also means that the change in the voting method has screened out some fans who are willing to vote.
And watching Jordan play, especially the fans who have experienced the peak Bulls period, are not too young.
Today's young fans have never seen Jordan play at all.
Well, it's not that I haven't seen it, the old Jordan is still active on the court today.
In a certain game, Jordan performed amazingly.
But most of the time, due to physical problems, his performance is not surprising.
As a result, Jordan's desire to become an All-Star starter has become a big problem.
Sure enough, on February 2, US time, the 1 Atlanta All-Star voting officially ended.
Afterwards, the results of the All-Star voting were announced, that is, the All-Star starters.
The All-Stars in the West started, with Wang Hao and Kobe on the back line, and Duncan and Garnett on the front line.
As for the center position that has received much attention, O'Neal still failed to complete the overtake in the end.
Compared with the original time and space, the gap is even bigger.
In the original time and space, Yao Ming only got more than 120 million votes, but this time it was nearly 140 million votes.
As for O'Neal, it's less than 110 million.
Such a gap once again made Americans feel the power of Huaxia fans. There are so many people and so much power!
It's just that, seeing O'Neal's failure to make the All-Star, it also caused dissatisfaction among many fans and media people.
After all, Yao Ming's nationality and skin color are the biggest cause of dissatisfaction.
