Chapter 407 First Victory
Mutombo, who is not good at offense, scored all the points of the Nets at the beginning of the game.
Moreover, all of them were scored inside.
Relying on the hand of holding high and playing high, it is difficult for the Supersonics to effectively limit him.
It's like Yao Ming playing the Asian game.
As long as the ball is given to him when he is inside, he can put the ball into the basket while holding the basketball high.
Because as long as the opponent doesn't jump, he basically can't threaten his ball.
Three minutes into the game, taking advantage of a dead ball, Paul Westphal called a timeout.
He replaced Reggie Evans with Brandon Haywood.
Brandon Haywood's defense is not necessarily better than Reggie Evans, and he is even more cumbersome.
Not suitable for the supersonic fast-paced tactics.
It's just that, in the Sonics team, a player of this type is still very much needed.
Just like now.
Brandon Heywood played, no matter in terms of height or weight, he actually didn't suffer that much.
Moreover, Mutombo is not the kind of player who is good at attacking, which can completely solve this problem.
It's just that, when a player is replaced, the lineup is adjusted, and the tactical play also needs to be changed.
After all, Brandon Haywood is obviously unlikely to play fast break with the team like Reggie Evans.
After a short adjustment, the game started again.
The Supersonics did not give up the fast break, but it changed from five players to four players.
As for Brandon Haywood, he'll just hang around with Mutombo.
And, Brandon Heywood is not without a role.
With his height and weight, he is a very qualified inside player.
Kenyon Martin also wanted to attack the Sonics' inside line. As a result, he was directly sent to a big hot pot by Brandon Heywood.
The two sides came and went, and the situation began to calm down.
It's just that the Supersonics have opened up the point difference little by little in this plainness.
The point difference is not too big, that is, five or six points.
Until the game progressed to almost 7 minutes, the two teams made personnel adjustments again.
The Nets intended to speed up and simply replaced Mutombo.
Ever since, Kenyon Martin became the center, and the position of power forward became Richard Jefferson.
A lineup of one big and four small.
To be honest, this lineup is actually very good. Although Kenyon Martin is an insider, he has excellent athletic ability.
In terms of athletic ability, it is not an exaggeration to say that this is a five-small lineup.
It's a pity that the five small lineups are not the five dead.
Kenyon Martin's athletic ability is not bad, but unfortunately, his defense is really average.
If Kenyon Martin is replaced by Wallace, the Nets' formation may really achieve some success.
The Sonics also made timely adjustments. Reggie Evans played and replaced Brandon Heywood.
In this way, the two lineups are completely on the same page.
Next, there was a wave of earth-shattering battles between Kenyon Martin and Reggie Evans.
First, Kenyon Martin made a strong breakthrough, but faced Reggie Evans, who was also good at confrontation, he was directly blown away.
Perhaps, Kenyon Martin thought he would continue to fight against Lewis, allowing him to easily squeeze inside.
This is obviously impossible.
There is nothing to say about using brute force to throw people away, and the referee directly gave a foul.
Wang Hao looked at Reggie Evans very speechless, asking you to defend, it's not wrestling, what are you doing?
Then, what followed was an even more speechless scene.
Kenyon Martin continued to ask for the ball inside, Kidd hesitated, and really passed the ball again.
In any case, after all, Reggie Evans' defensive foul was created just now, and that offense was considered valuable.
However, what I never expected was...
After Kenyon Martin took the ball, he also sent it hard, and dribbled the ball directly towards Reggie Evans.
"Di!"
Reggie Evans was caught off guard and was pushed out of the bottom line all of a sudden, and the referee blew his whistle again.
Although he was called for an offensive foul, Kenyon Martin didn't complain, instead he looked at Reggie Evans with a proud face.
That way seems to say, boy, you can't watch enough to play with me.
This scene completely overwhelmed Wang Hao!
Do you two understand that this is playing basketball, not wrestling, or brute force.
Both of them looked a bit out of their minds.
However, taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Hao led the Supersonics and quickly opened up the score.
The second quarter lasted 2 minutes and 11 seconds. When Wang Hao took a break, the score of the two teams was already 38:27.
The Sonics have led by 11 points.
In the previous 8 minutes, Wang Hao kept breaking through and scored after reaching the inside.
Just by himself, he made 6 of 4 shots and scored 11 points.
Without Mutombo, the Nets only rely on Kenyon Martin on the inside, and they can't stand up at all.
Compared with the Nets' perimeter defense, the interior defense during this time period is really not good.
Wang Hao seized this defensive weakness and continued to attack, the effect was still obvious.
If the double-digit gap can be maintained until the second half, it will definitely be a huge advantage.
Seeing that the point difference was widened, the Nets were very weak.
In fact, it's not that Kidd hasn't thought of a way, but it's a pity that the Supersonic's defense is no worse than that of the Nets.
As for the insider?
The Sonics can catch the Nets inside and chase after them, so can the Nets do the same?
They did so, but the effect was mediocre.
Because the Supersonics still have Wang Hao, Wang Hao guarded the inside line and protected the Supersonics' basket.
The Nets tried several times to attack the Supersonics inside, but they were all stopped by Wang Hao.
Only then did the handicap almost get pulled away.
Wang Hao rested, and Gary Payton was still leading the fight, and the pressure of the Supersonics was still sufficient.
In terms of lineup depth, the Sonics are not bad.
Moreover, Wang Hao didn't rest for too long, that is, 2 minutes, just to give him a breather.
In today's NBA, it is commonplace for a star to play 40 minutes.
Unless the lead is obvious, otherwise, it is impossible for Wang Hao to be less than 40 minutes now.
When Wang Hao was resting, the Nets didn't organize a counterattack, and even let him watch the counterattack.
It's just that the Supersonic players are not vegetarians, and Gary Payton also led the team to fight back.
When Wang Hao returned to the court again, he still had a double-digit lead.
Moreover, this advantage has been maintained until the halftime break.
56:43
With a 13-point lead, it made the supersonic's halftime atmosphere look very relaxed.
As a team with difficult offense, it is not so simple for the Nets to chase 13 points.
However, what people never expected was that at the beginning of the third quarter, the Nets really exploded.
The players of the Nets, one by one, suddenly broke out in the third quarter as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
Yes, they don't have super offensive players, but they have defense!
The Sonics once made consecutive mistakes, and even Gary Payton lost the ball under defensive pressure.
What's more, the Nets don't have a super offensive player. In fact, another way of saying it is that they have more people who can score.
First, he succeeded in a row in the counterattack, and then Kidd found an opportunity to pass the ball in the chaos.
Among the five members of the Nets, Corey Kiddles, who is most easily overlooked, scored a three-pointer with a knife.
In less than 3 minutes of the opening, the Nets directly hit a 9:2 spurt.
Moreover, these two points were also Brandon Heywood free throws.
In other words, for a full 3 minutes, the Sonics were restricted from scoring in sports battles.
Corey Kiddels hit a three-pointer, Lewis was a little anxious and wanted to serve the sideline immediately.
But this time, Wang Hao didn't rush to move.
"Gary, give me the ball. This time, let's not rush, take our time and make sure we score."
Wang Hao took the initiative to signal Gary Payton to slow down the pace, there is no chance of fast break and counterattack, and it is no big deal.
It's not like they can't fight positional warfare.
At this time, the emotions are too anxious, and the more anxious you are, the more mistakes will only occur.
Wang Hao didn't talk nonsense. After dribbling the ball halfway, he gave the ball directly to Gary Payton, but he quickly ran to the inside.
Richard Jefferson thought that Wang Hao was going to move again, but who would have imagined that after he came to the inside, he quickly got stuck.
This caught Richard Jefferson a little off guard.
In this game, Wang Hao hadn't asked for the ball from the bottom line, which made Jefferson a little slack.
The reason for this is purely because Jefferson's body is very good, and Wang Hao is actually not superior in height and confrontation.
It's not that you can't fight without an advantage.
However, for Wang Hao, he has too many offensive methods to choose from, so there is no need to do so.
Just like Iverson, no matter who is facing anyone's defense, no matter what team he is facing, he will break through with one move.
But even so, he doesn't really have only one move.
Is it to break through to the inside line for a layup, or use the breakthrough to find a mid-range shooting space?
All of these need to be selected according to the actual situation.
The low post singles inside, to be honest, is indeed the most stable way to score goals.
Of course, the premise is that no one is double-teaming.
Therefore, Wang Hao needs to find the right opportunity to complete the attack before the Nets' double team arrives.
Gary Payton had been prepared for a long time, and after seeing Wang Hao asking for a position, he passed the ball immediately.
Wang Hao also didn't stop for a moment. After receiving the ball, he turned right and broke through the middle.
Wang Hao hit the ball suddenly, and Richard Jefferson saw that he really reacted fast enough and moved quickly.
It's just that he found out after he moved.
Wang Hao's sudden breakthrough was fake. After a dribble, he didn't move, but made an emergency stop on the spot to shoot a jumper.
"Shh!"
Richard Jefferson stretched out his hand in front of him, but he failed to disturb Wang Hao at all.
60:52
The Supersonics finally broke the scoring shortage in sports games. It has to be said that Wang Hao is still very reliable.
As long as the Nets don't make an offensive and defensive transition, the Supersonic's defense is still very effective.
Sure enough, Kidd fell into positional warfare again, and Kidd never found a vacancy for his teammates.
There is no way, he can only find an opportunity to catch the ball and shoot.
Kidd's offensive efficiency actually quite affects the overall offensive limit of the Nets.
Because as long as he doesn't feel good, all teams are willing to let him shoot. Anyway, they would rather score him than pass the ball to him.
If Kidd feels good, then opponents must not dare to let go when defending him.
In this way, he has enough passing opportunities.
Today, however, Kidd's shooting touch is average.
Of course, it is mainly because Gary Payton's defense is good, even without the help of his teammates, his defense is still limited to Kidd.
Kidd's mid-range shot bounced out of the frame, and Brandon Heywood protected the rebound.
Wang Hao wanted to speed up after receiving the ball, but the Nets' defense was also very fast.
It's just that Wang Hao is Wang Hao after all.
After he dribbled the ball halfway, he found that Richard Jefferson seemed to have taken an extra step when he retreated.
Don't underestimate this step, just the distance of this step, Wang Hao can grab the shot space.
In fact it is.
Moreover, he felt pretty good today, and when he made a move, he was naturally very decisive.
Richard Jefferson noticed Wang Hao's movement and rushed forward, but it was still a bit late.
Wang Hao has already completed his shot.
"Shh!"
63:52
"boom!"
The fans cheered loudly, and the momentum that had been suppressed in the second half returned again.
Not only because the point difference expanded to double digits again, but more importantly, the way Wang Hao scored.
This is Wang Hao's iconic goal.
While walking, taking advantage of the opponent's unsteady footing, he directly chased and shot, and sealed his throat with a sword.
No way, this is too rare in the NBA!
It can even be said that in the entire NBA, only Wang Hao has the power to fire unlimitedly under such circumstances.
If this is replaced by someone else, the head coach will definitely slap him no matter whether he gets in or not.
Because this way of playing is unreasonable.
The opponent has not yet settled down, which is certainly a good opportunity to attack, but at the same time, the teammates have not settled down either.
Moreover, once there is no goal, the own team has no chance to grab rebounds.
Once the opponent easily protects the rebound, he will immediately have a chance to counterattack.
And at this time, one's own players are running to the frontcourt with all their strength, how can there be time to return to defense?
However, this is Wang Hao, so that's another matter.
The point difference returned to double digits again, and the momentum that the Nets finally gathered was defeated again.
Wang Hao nodded in satisfaction, because he understood that the Supersonics were one step closer to winning.
The words of the ancestors are still very reasonable, one vigorous effort, then decline, and three exhaustion.
The lagging team launched counterattacks again and again, and their hopes were extinguished again and again, which was very demoralizing.
Moreover, once the momentum is extinguished, if you want to attack again, you must be full of urgent strength, and it will take time.
What's more, there is another Wang Hao who is actively taking care of him.
Taking advantage of his illness to kill him, Wang Hao naturally would not miss such an opportunity, and scored consecutively again.
In this case, he didn't say anything polite, and directly took over the offensive initiative.
Under the continuous impact of Wang Hao's words, the point difference was quickly opened.
That is to say, taking advantage of the period when the Nets were beaten, Wang Hao quickly made a ruthless move and directly opened up the point difference.
During the third quarter, when the point difference was the largest, it was close to 20 points at one point, 18 points to be exact.
The Nets are at a loss.
