Starting from the last bus in the NBA

Chapter 408 Wang Hao's Counterattack

104:94

As the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the score was frozen.

The Sonics won Game [-] without much surprise.

Mutombo's sudden comeback did bring some trouble to the Sonics, but it was limited.

As for the resistance of the Nets, it seemed very weak under their destructive offense.

Of course, all this is because the strength of the supersonic is even better.

In this game, the Sonics performed well overall, which is the key to winning.

After all, sports competition, in the final analysis, is still a competition of hard power.

As the key to winning the game, Wang Hao's performance is still beyond doubt.

A preemptive strike in the first quarter helped the Sonics take the lead from the start.

Being behind and leading are completely different games.

In the next game, the Nets were not without resistance. In fact, they were always looking for opportunities to counterattack.

But every time the Nets counterattacked, or when their performance improved slightly.

Wang Hao will stand up and mercilessly kill this momentum without giving him any chance.

全场比赛，王昊25投12中，三分球10投4中，罚球8中7。

With 35 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists, this performance made him easily win the best of the game.

"Congratulations to the Sonics for taking the lead in this season's NBA Finals.

At the same time, congratulations to Wang Hao, who once again became the best player in the game. "

Sun Zhengping's voice sounded, but the surrounding voices were obviously a little noisy, and some of them couldn't understand.

Experienced people will understand that this is definitely not the live broadcast room of CCTV, but the scene of the competition.

That's right, for today's NBA Finals, CCTV once again started the live broadcast mode.

It's normal, after all, this is the NBA Finals with Chinese players participating.

Moreover, it is not just a Chinese player.

In this game, Wang Zhizhi also played 15 minutes and scored 5 points and 2 rebounds.

In the middle of the season, Wang Zhizhi fell behind in the competition with Reggie Evans and failed to enter the main rotation.

In the Sonics' inside lineup, he can only be regarded as the fourth, or even the fifth insider.

No way, for the Sonics inside, offense is not the most important, defense and basketball are the key.

And Wang Zhizhi is not very suitable to play as a center forward. He has some shortcomings in confrontation.

As for the position of power forward, his role overlaps with that of Lewis, which seems a bit tasteless.

In this case, his playing time will inevitably be reduced.

In other words, PJ Brown is injured, otherwise, Wang Zhizhi's playing time will inevitably be further reduced.

Wang Hao also talked about this topic with Wang Zhizhi, maybe, next season, Wang Zhizhi will immediately.

Of course, the premise is to get the championship ring this season.

After getting the championship ring, for Wang Zhizhi, he really needs more performance opportunities.

Moreover, with a championship ring and championship experience, he should be able to get more opportunities.

After Sun Zhengping finished speaking, Zhang Lili also said: "Before the game, in fact, the American media was hardly optimistic about the Nets.

Everyone believes that the biggest obstacle for the Sonics to defend their title this season is the Spurs, not the Nets.

Today's game looks like this, and the Sonics seem to be playing with ease.

The Nets must adjust in time, otherwise, this round of the series will be a bit difficult for them. "

Sun Zhengping also said, "Dayao, what do you think?"

Right between Sun Zhengping and Zhang Weiping, there was still a huge figure sitting impressively.

Compared to the two of them, this figure is really a little giant.

That's right, this time CCTV's live commentary even invited Yao Ming.

It can be said that the Chinese players in the NBA are really gathered together.

As for Battelle, in fact, Wang Hao met him in the game against the Spurs.

It's a pity that Battelle failed to enter the Spurs' roster in the end.

Yao Ming smiled and said, "The Sonics are indeed the strongest team in the NBA right now.

The main thing is Wang Hao, this guy is really powerful, and I feel that no matter what he does, it should be taken for granted.

As for the Nets, they really need to work hard, or they need to find a way to win.

It's just that, after all, what they are facing is supersonic, and the pressure is very high. I hope they can adjust as soon as possible. "

Zhang Lili suddenly asked: "Dayao, from your point of view, a professional NBA player's point of view, how do you think they can adjust?"

Yao Ming thought for a while, then smiled again, he didn't know how to speak for a while, so he could only speak.

"This is also quite difficult. We can only adjust our mentality as much as possible, and strive to play well after returning to the home court!"

Well, Yao Ming is not very optimistic about the Nets either.

As a player, he played against the Nets and the Sonics during the regular season.

The feelings the two teams gave him are completely different.

Facing the Nets, Mosaic actually has the possibility of confrontation, and it is completely possible to fight.

At least, Yao Ming thinks so, as long as they perform well, they have every chance to win the game.

Even in the playoffs, the Nets may have a better chance of playing a series.

However, Mosaic is not without a chance.

But if he was facing the Supersonics, Yao Ming would not feel this way, and the difficulty of the game would increase instantly.

If it's the regular season.

Mosaic can win such a game by virtue of his good state, or the laxness of the Supersonics.

But in the playoffs, in the series mode, even if he played 10 times, Yao Ming didn't think Mosaic could win.

To put it bluntly, this is the sensory difference brought about by the hard power of the team, which is very obvious.

"Countdown to Supersonic Defending!"

"The Nets will be swept again?"

"The weakest finals team in history?"

……

Sure enough, the next morning, the major media began to report yesterday's game.

However, the reporting angle is interesting.

Perhaps the game was a bit dull, at least there was no exciting scene of that kind of fierce collision.

The eyes of the major media reports are all focused on the prospects of the Sonics defending their title.

The Nets, which were not very optimistic, were even less optimistic after losing a game.

Even, some media have played the countdown to defending the SuperSonics, which is a naked humiliation of the Nets.

To put it bluntly, these media are making big news.

"This is only the first game, you are not the championship!"

"Listen to me clearly, in the next game, I will ask you in the strictest way."

"If anyone's performance doesn't satisfy me, I will replace him immediately. As I said, it is anyone!"

……

It has to be said that Paul Westphal may not have very special creativity in tactics.

But he definitely has a good grasp of players' psychology.

As a player, he once won the championship with the team, also entered the All-Star, and even had a depressed situation.

His rich experience allowed him to understand the psychology of players very well.

Supersonic players are still too young on the whole, and their psychology is too prone to fluctuations.

Therefore, in the coaching process, what he pays the most attention to is the mentality of the players, which is even more important than tactics.

Don't underestimate any opponent, especially an opponent who can appear on the stage of the finals.

He has already reached the finals, no one wants to return empty-handed, as long as possible, he must work hard.

The same goes for the Nets!

Even knowing that this is the SuperSonic's home court, even knowing that winning is not so easy.

But they still fought hard.

The second game of the NBA Finals will continue to be staged at the Key Arena two days later.

However, today's game is very different.

In the first half, the Nets relied on their overall performance to keep biting the score.

At the end of the halftime game, 52:52, the Sonics and the Nets were evenly tied.

It's not that the Supersonics didn't perform well, it's just that the Nets were all overwhelmed today.

40投21中，三分球12中4，罚球10中6。

This kind of performance, to be honest, the Supersonics can be tied, in fact, they are considered to have played well.

But, it's not over yet.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, the Nets made another effort and hit two three-pointers as soon as they came up.

Richard Jefferson hit a three-pointer in the counterattack, followed by Kidd's three-pointer at the buzzer.

Not only that, Kenyon Martin is also a strong singles.

Although he failed to score directly, he directly disrupted the Sonics' inside defense.

This allowed Mutombo to take advantage of it. After grabbing the offensive rebound, he easily put the basket.

In just 2 minutes, the Nets hit an 8:0 spurt, which surprised the SuperSonics.

Wang Hao shot quickly, also breaking through and making a foul.

Paul Westphal also took advantage of the foul free throw and called a timeout to adjust the team's defense.

To this end, he even replaced Lewis, so that Reggie Evans, who is more defensive, faced Kenyon Martin.

But at this moment, Kidd continued to pass the ball to the organization.

He feels good today, which makes the Sonics dare not let him go when they are defending.

Once the method of double-teaming Kidd is adopted, he will start passing the ball during the game.

56:67

After playing more than 4 minutes in the third quarter, the Nets directly made a 4:15 spurt, which directly fooled the Supersonics.

Thanks to Wang Hao!

Also facing Jefferson's defense, Wang Hao constantly dribbled the ball to change his rhythm, and then took a step back and shot directly.

He is also helpless.

As long as he breaks through, or even enters the paint, the Nets will start double-teaming him.

Even if he passes the ball, the Nets can quickly rotate the defense to fill the gap.

In the final analysis, it is because there is no offensive firepower inside.

Whether it is Brandon Heywood or Reggie Evans, they are all the kind of pie-eating players.

Not to mention that they don't have the ability to attack independently, in fact, even if there is an open space, the two have a touching rate of hits.

To put it bluntly, the Nets took advantage of the Sonics' weakness.

The weakness is the inside line. When Lewis is on the court, the defense is not strong enough and it is easy to be targeted.

That was the case today, Kenyon Martin got a lot of opportunities.

Regardless of his low efficiency and not very gorgeous statistics, but because of him, Lewis is not easy to appear in the fourth position.

Paul Westphal can only arrange for Reggie Evans to play.

But the appearance of Reggie Evans means that the inside line of the Sonics is on offense, congratulations are close to zero.

In the past, Reggie Evans could use offensive rebounds to improve his presence, but not today.

The Nets are really desperate, and everyone is desperate.

Paul Westphal even tried Wang Zhizhi, but unfortunately, the effect was not very good.

The continuous breakthroughs and points were not very effective, and Wang Hao didn't care about it, so he simply chose to do it himself.

With a step back and a three-point shot, Paul Westphal's eyes immediately fixed on the ball.

He knew very well that this was the last resort for the Supersonics, handing the ball to Wang Hao, who would handle it.

There's no way, today's Nets are really in a state of being off the charts.

In NBA games, sometimes it is really difficult to tell whether strength is more important or status is more important.

If it is placed in a single game, then the state must be more important.

Because no matter how good a player is, he can't beat a team that's out of shape.

"Shh!"

Under everyone's gaze, the Nets went straight to the basket.

Seeing this scene, the Nets could only shake their heads helplessly, obviously they had already done everything.

As for the supersonic bench, everyone clenched their fists and finally showed a smile on their faces.

Because they understand that as the ball is thrown, it means that the game is not over yet.

The fans at the scene cheered even more, and the momentum of the Supersonic Speed, which had been somewhat stagnant, climbed up again.

And next, Wang Hao really showed what scoring is.

He simply gave up passing the ball and chose to do it himself.

Even if it's facing double teams, that's okay, one hit two, isn't this a big open?

It is reasonable for Wang Hao to play, but he can also be unreasonable!

In the third quarter of the game, Wang Hao directly scored 21 points in a single quarter, which also broke the Sonics team history record.

Why is it a team history record, not an NBA record?

Because there was a guy named McHale who was in an NBA Finals game.

Hurricane made 8 three-pointers in a single quarter and scored 24 points.

Such a record, not to mention Wang Hao, anyone would be a little bit disappointed.

No way, as the core of the team, while possessing a strong scoring ability, he will also receive a lot of defensive attention.

Even Jordan has only completed 20 points in a single quarter in the NBA Finals.

And Wang Hao surpassed him.

Not only that, in the fourth quarter, Wang Hao took a 2-minute break to play, and immediately hit another three-pointer.

That is, this key goal, the Supersonics went ahead by one point.

Although it was only 1 point, this goal was a turning point for the morale of the two teams to completely reverse.

The same is true.

In the next game, the Sonics' state picked up all day long, and their performance became more and more stable.

As for the Nets, their momentum began to decline.

Even if Kidd scored goals and assisted with passes, there was no continuity.

To put it bluntly, the current state has changed, and the Nets are being beaten by the Supersonics.

100:95

The game is over and the score is fixed.
