Starting from the last bus in the NBA

Chapter 249 The Western Finals 1
The Western Conference semifinals are over, and the two teams that can enter the Western Conference Finals have already been announced.

However, the east side is not over yet, so we can only wait.

According to the known information so far, the fastest time to start the Western Conference finals must also be May 5.

Because by that time, even if there are seven games to be played in the Eastern Conference finals, it is estimated that it will be almost the same.

In fact, based on the current situation, it seems likely that seven of the two matchups will be played.

It's interesting to say that most teams are dragons at home and worms away.

As a result, the four teams in the Eastern Conference semifinals were not like this.

In the fifth game, the visiting team won one after another.

That's right, the Raptors and Hornets, especially the Raptors, have won their second away game.

As a result, when they returned to the home court, the two teams lost at the same time.

It's no wonder that the media and fans are not optimistic about the Eastern Conference teams. What are they playing?
Obviously there is a chance to seal the victory in one fell swoop, but unfortunately, no one can defeat the opponent in one fell swoop.

From a certain point of view, there is indeed little difference in strength, and the opponent's persistence has allowed them to win.

But from another perspective, no one can grasp the chance of victory, the strength is not enough!
The two Eastern Conference semifinals have reached the seventh game. It seems to be quite intense, but it is just like that.

From the end of the last Western Conference semifinals game to the Western Conference Finals, the Sonics have a five-day break.

This time is enough for them to make tactical arrangements.

Not only that, the major media are staring at them, and related interviews are naturally indispensable.

Not only the media in the United States, but also in China.

No, Zhang Weiping flew to the United States with the CCTV team after finishing the commentary for the Western Conference semifinals.

That's right, this time they plan to broadcast live.

Since a whole team was brought here, it was naturally impossible to simply conduct a TV broadcast.

Accordingly, they also arranged some programs.

Don't say yes, find some local Chinese fans to conduct interviews, interview Wang Hao's college teammates and so on.

That's right, CCTV plans to do a program, Wang Hao's program.

It has to be said that this salary is quite high, especially when Wang Hao has not entered the national team, let alone brought any honor to the national team.

Since it is to be Wang Hao's show, it is natural to interview Wang Hao, after all, he is the protagonist.

After hearing the news, Wang Hao immediately agreed without saying a word.

Although he has accepted a lot of interviews, he is already a little bored, but this must be agreed.

Not only that, he also deliberately arranged the interview place in his villa.

That's right, he intends to treat him well, and when he's doing the show, say something nice to him.

If it is an American program, of course it is not necessary.

However, this is a domestic program, and he also met with a large number of compatriot fans.

The so-called not returning home in brocade is like traveling in brocade clothes at night. This is also a different kind of returning home in brocade, so naturally he has to perform well.

Well, he was simply thinking too much.

Decades later, CCTV's programs are all serious, let alone live.

Perhaps they felt that the villa was not a good background, so they finally chose to interview in the basketball stadium.

Moreover, the interview questions had been communicated long ago, and even Wang Hao's answers had been reviewed.

"Congratulations, Wang Hao, the Sonics have successfully advanced to the Western Conference Finals."

"Thank you, Director Zhang. This is also due to the support of our domestic fans. I am very grateful to them."

"How do you feel about reaching the Western Conference Finals? Are you surprised?"

"Being able to reach the Western Conference finals is naturally a happy thing, but it's not a surprise.

At the beginning of the season, when we set goals, we had such expectations.

It can only be said that reaching the Western Conference semifinals is considered to have initially completed our goal, and it is an affirmation of our efforts over the past year. "

This is an interview by the domestic media, not by the American media, so you must speak modestly.

"So is there a higher gaze?"

"Of course there is a championship. I think this is the dream of every NBA player."

"We are also very much looking forward to having the first Chinese to successfully win the NBA championship trophy.

For the next opponent, what kind of evaluation do you have? "

"The Lakers? This is definitely the best team in the NBA right now, and even in NBA history, they deserve a place."

Hearing Wang Hao's high evaluation, to be honest, Zhang Weiping was a little surprised.

He had communicated with Wang Hao a lot, and he knew Wang Hao quite well.

Although Wang Hao has the usual Chinese humility, he is also very arrogant in his bones.

Perhaps, this is the essence of every genius.

Therefore, to be able to get such an evaluation from Wang Hao, it can indeed be seen that the current Lakers are really good.

"Historical level, why is there such an evaluation?"

"It's actually very simple, because of the OK combination of O'Neal and Kobe, the two decided this team.

O'Neal needless to say, now the American media evaluates him as the most dominant player.

You know, this is an evaluation that Chamberlain and even Jordan have never had.

Then there is Kobe, who has grown up completely this season and has become the top player in the NBA.

Moreover, they happen to be one inside and one outside, this is definitely the best partner on the basketball court. "

"With such a high evaluation of the Lakers, do you still have confidence in the next game?"

"Of course, the Lakers are very good, but we are not bad. In fact, we have found the weakness of the Lakers."

Zhang Weiping also wanted to ask what is the weakness of the Lakers?
Hearing this, Wang Hao immediately looked at Zhang Weiping. Could it be that he has changed into Kobe's shape now?
Weiping Bryant, this is famous.

It's just that Wang Hao didn't say it. Although it's not a big secret, it's meaningless to say it.

It can be said to be pretending to be mysterious, but as long as it has an effect, it will do.

In fact, it's not a big deal. In fact, most of the media's analysis has mentioned it.

That is, the Lakers rely too much on the OK combination.

This year's regular season, among the Lakers, apart from Kobe and O'Neal, only Fisher scored in double figures.

It can be seen that if the Lakers want to win, the OK combination must play well, not to mention scoring 60 points together, at least not less than 50 points.

If the OK combination can't score 50 points, no one can make up for the lack of scoring.

If you can successfully limit one of the OK combinations?
To be honest, there is a very good chance of winning.

After all, before Kobe grew up, when O'Neal took the lead, the Lakers were at the level of the first and second rounds of the playoffs.

No matter how powerful O'Neal is, it is impossible for him to beat a team by himself.

So, it is very simple to win the Lakers, just freeze Kobe, and you can win?

of course not!

It's not that the method is wrong, but whether it can be done!
Freezing Kobe, this is not drinking water to eat, it is very simple, it seems that anyone can do it.

But the question is, first there is the Jazz and then the Spurs, who can really freeze Kobe?
Even if the Supersonics have Wang Hao and Gary Payton, they dare not say that they will definitely be able to do it.

For a star at this level, relying solely on defense, it is actually very difficult to lock the opponent.

It's just that there is a chance.

"Our domestic player, Wang Zhizhi, has already confirmed that he will land this year."

"Is Wang Zhizhi coming? Where is Yao Ming? Will Yao Ming participate in this year's NBA draft?"

Regarding the news of Wang Zhizhi joining the NBA, Wang Hao actually knows a little bit. After all, it has been discussed in China for more than half a year.

The final result was that Wang Zhizhi helped the Bayi team win another championship, and the Bayi team let him go.

But the problem is that Wang Zhizhi is now 24 years old, not to mention that various technical movements have been fixed, and it is not so easy to change.

Wang Hao actually wanted to know more about Yao Ming's situation. No, he asked the question right away.

Fortunately, this interview video needs to be edited, and it is impossible to just release it like this.

For the purpose of collecting materials, the director did not stop, but signaled Zhang Weiping to continue.

"There is no news about Yao Ming, but the Sharks have already let go.

Perhaps, when Yao Ming wins the CBA championship next year, he can also land in the NBA. "

Although Zhang Weiping is not sure, as an insider, he still knows a lot.

If the Shanghai Sharks can't win a CBA championship, it's basically useless for Yao Ming to enter the NBA.

Even winning the championship is not so easy.

Hearing this, Wang Hao had to sigh, what a pity.

Even if he landed in the NBA early, even if he made the NBA popular in China in advance, it is still the same.

The fate of Wang Zhizhi and Yao Ming's words has never been in their hands, let alone in the hands of the fans.

What is said to improve the strength of players and win glory for the national team, in fact, some teams really don't care.

However, there was nothing to do about it, and Wang Hao was helpless.

After all, even this time, he hasn't even settled the issue of entering the national team, let alone other things.

Wang Hao quickly cleared up his emotions, and instead of continuing to dwell on this topic, he talked about the problem just now.

"For Wang Zhizhi who is about to enter the NBA, what advice do you have? Let him adapt to the rhythm of the NBA as soon as possible?"

"Adapting to the NBA? I think you must first adapt to the locker room environment and your teammates.

After all, in a basketball game, cooperation is required, especially for inside players, who have to rely on the passes of outside players.

Don't think that personal relationships won't affect your teammates passing the ball to you. In fact, the impact is very large.

It is very important to adapt to the atmosphere of the locker room and handle the relationship with teammates well.

And to do all of this, the most important thing is language. If there is no way to communicate, all this is nonsense.

As for the translation, I think it is best not to, to be honest, it will make you feel different from them.

In fact, not only Wang Zhizhi, but also Yao Ming, and other players who want to enter the NBA, learning English is an urgent task.

In addition, there is the summer league, don't think that the summer league is not important.

This is a very good opportunity to adapt to the rhythm of the NBA before entering the NBA, and it is also an opportunity to get a preliminary understanding of the team and teammates. "

In fact, Wang Hao hasn't said anything yet, even if there are more than a dozen people in an NBA team, there are actually small circles.

Integrating into one of the small circles can also make you integrate into the team faster. This is the most effective way.

Among the few Chinese players who have entered the NBA, why is Yao Ming the only one who has really played?
In addition to the reasons of strength and talent, it is also very important to integrate into the culture of the NBA.

It can be said that whether it is Wang Zhizhi or Yi Jianlian, in fact, they have not really integrated into the NBA from the beginning to the end.

When the two Eastern Conference semifinals scored 3:3, the Lakers and the Sonics couldn't wait.

Not only them, the NBA officials can't wait, and the fans can't wait.

Especially since this period of time, the NBA has continued to build momentum about the duel between the Sonics and the Lakers.

Ever since, before the Eastern Conference semifinals were over, the Western Conference Finals officially started.

This is also good, the game will be played earlier, and the battle will end earlier.

"CCTV, CCTV, today is May 2001, 5, and our location is Seattle, USA.

Next, we are about to usher in the NBA Western Conference Finals this season, with Seattle playing against the Sonics.

Because of the record in the regular season, today, the Sonics are playing at home. "

……

As soon as the screen camera turned, it was immediately given to the vast and spacious Key Arena, which is the home court of the Supersonics.

All the supersonic detachment jerseys, the fans kept waving flags and shouting loudly.

"Supersonic, supersonic..."

"Break the Lakers, beat the Lakers..."

That's right, in addition to the cheering voice of the Sonics fans, there is also the voice that resounds through the NBA.

"Beat LA."

It's not just the fans who are outraged, hoping that the home team can beat the Lakers and win the long-lost championship.

Including the two teams is also very serious.

In the previous two rounds of the series, in fact, both teams were considered relaxed after all, after all, they were confident in their own moments.

But now, the smiling faces are no longer relaxed, only serious, and ready to fight.

Even O'Neill, who has always been happy, is the same.

You know, O'Neal, Wang Hao, and Gary Payton have a good relationship, and everyone is very familiar with each other.

In the past, every time we met in a match, we would chat a few words, and the atmosphere was quite good.

This time it was different, O'Neill didn't even greet them.

Wang Hao also understands that the next match will not be easy, even if he gets angry, it is not surprising that he even fights hard.

After all, no one wants to lose.

"Di!"

With the whistle of the referee, the game began.

When the referee threw the basketball high, at the same time, O'Neal and Ewing also jumped high.

When the two reached the highest point, they both fought hard, and Ewing's arm touched the basketball one step faster.

The basketball was coming to Gary Payton. After Gary Payton received the ball, he wanted to speed up immediately.

That's right, facing the Lakers game, speeding up is a must.

It's just that Fisher's reaction was also extremely fast, delaying Gary Payton's start immediately.

However, just as Fisher was close to Gary Payton, the basketball in his hand had already passed.
