Starting from the last bus in the NBA

Chapter 258 The Peak Battle

On May 5, the Western Conference Finals will continue!

"Dry the supersonic speed, dry the supersonic speed!"

……

Obviously, since the last game, Los Angeles fans have been extremely dissatisfied with the Sonics.

If it weren't for the supersonic's shameless use of shark-slashing tactics, they would never have lost the last game.

It has to be said that this mighty victory really surprised everyone at the Supersonics.

There are only three people who can face it calmly.

Gary Payton and Ewing have seen too many such scenes. As for Wang Hao, he has seen more.

Let's put it this way, Wang Hao has seen people who are more exaggerated than him.

Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, I only learned about it through the news media, but at least I was mentally prepared.

Besides, what kind of urine are the fans, can he not know?
Back then, when James was in Cleveland, countless Cleveland fans wanted to kill James.

This feeling is very much like an infatuated boy who has been dumped.

But when James decided to return to Cleveland from Miami, those same fans wanted to lick James.

To put it bluntly, fans are licking dogs in love. When dealing with a goddess, they will only do two things, lick her and forgive her.

Same goes for Los Angeles fans.

When the 23 vs 24, due to various reasons, the Lakers often lost, James can always win in the regular season.

How many fans are dissatisfied with James, and even more disdainful of James' performance in the regular season.

and after?
When James came to Los Angeles, the fans in Los Angeles still licked him.

So, don't look at the fans looking like they can't wait to eat you raw, it's just like that.

It's just that, although the emotions of the Los Angeles fans failed to affect several key figures in the Supersonics.

However, the Lakers were deeply affected.

O'Neal and Kobe looked solemn, as if they would not give up until they won.

The same is true in fact, for the Lakers, this is a game that must be won.

In addition, the other players of the Lakers also worked hard amidst the cheers and cheers from the fans.

No, at the beginning of the game, Kobe hit a single.

In the next few rounds, O'Neal was even more overwhelming in the paint, and there was no way to limit it.

In less than 3 minutes, Ewing and PJ Brown on the inside paid for a foul one after another.

Although it is said that fouling as soon as possible can start cutting sharks as soon as possible.

It's just that it's not a good thing that key players have committed too many fouls.

Sure enough, in less than 5 minutes of the first quarter, the Sonics had committed 4 fouls.

Shark hacking begins immediately.

However, to everyone's surprise, O'Neal made two free throws in the first shark attack.

I have to say that this is definitely a big blow to the shark-killing tactics.

Paul Westphal had to stand up and hastily announced the end of the shark hacking tactics.

However, Wang Hao felt too anxious.

It's no big deal to make two free throws. No matter how bad O'Neal's free throws are, it's impossible not to make one.

At this time, what is needed is persistence.

Of course, the pros and cons of persistence are also very obvious, that is, if you are not careful, you may lose the game.

The Sonics had no choice but to change the way they played, and played as much as possible according to the established tactics.

However, the follow-up to the last game came.

After the Supersonic players get used to chopping sharks, once they can't chop sharks, they will feel a little uncomfortable.

To put it bluntly, if you can easily win the game, and then fight a life-and-death battle, it seems that you will not be able to fight.

In addition, after the last game, the Supersonic coaching team has been emphasizing the shark-killing tactics.

To be honest, Wang Hao felt something was wrong at that time.

Because even he had to admit that the shark-slashing tactic was definitely not an aboveboard tactic.

None of the championships were won by chance.

Even the Pistons in 2004, although they were a poor team, their defense was definitely the top in the league.

There is also the Milwaukee Bucks in 2021. They also won the championship by relying on stepping and godfather care.

These are hard powers.

Seeing that the Supersonics paid too much attention to the shark-slashing tactics, Wang Hao felt that something was not very good.

It's just that after a few games, he finally realized one thing, the Lakers with the OK combination is really strong.

There is no intuitive data, just a feeling of the players on the court, the Lakers are very strong.

Although some don't want to admit it, it has to be said that the current Lakers are indeed stronger than the Sonics.

So if the Sonics want to win, they have to come up with a unique trick, and the shark-cutting tactic is undoubtedly an effective trick.

Now it seems that the backlash is coming.

Seeing that the point difference was getting bigger and bigger, Wang Hao reacted quickly and made two consecutive three-pointers to stabilize the situation.

However, what makes people speechless is that there is no follow-up.

When the Lakers chose to double-team Wang Hao, or even mark him dead, some other players in the Supersonics couldn't play.

But at this time, they can only rely on Wang Hao!

However, under the strict defense of the opponent, although Wang Hao can still score goals, his efficiency is greatly reduced.

The end result is already doomed.

92:100
Even if Wang Hao tried his best, he still couldn't solve the problem, and the Supersonics still lost.

Wang Haokong scored 40+, but still failed to prevent the loss.

全场比赛，王昊一个人就得到了46分11篮板4助攻，还有3抢断和1盖帽。

It has to be said that this kind of data is already the performance of the top personal ability.

Of course, the efficiency is a little bit worse.

37投17中，三分球14投6中，罚球7中6，效率稍稍差了一点。

With 37 shots, Wang Hao's number of shots in a single game in the playoffs has also been refreshed.

It's just that if he doesn't shoot, others can't score!

Wang Hao used not only half of the team's shots, but also scored half of the team's points. His efficiency is already very good.

In addition to Wang Hao, Gary Payton had 17 points and 8 assists, and Rashard Lewis had 12 points and 6 rebounds.

The two are the only two other than Wang Hao who scored in double figures.

That's right, in the entire Sonics team, only three players scored in double figures, so there is no chance of winning like this.

On the other hand, the Lakers played team basketball uncharacteristically, and 5 players scored in double figures.

You know, that's unlikely in the Lakers scoring game.

Because Kobe and O'Neal occupy a large number of shots, there are very few opportunities for others to score.

The series score returned to 2:2 again, and the battle of Tianwangshan is about to begin.

"Without the shark-killing tactic, will the Sonics not be able to win against the Lakers?"

At the end of the game, it is natural to attend the press conference, and Wang Hao was also brought by Paul Westphal.

No way, as the best player in this game, Wang Hao could not have missed the press conference.

In addition, after nearly two years of getting along, Paul Westphal also discovered that Wang Hao is definitely a player with a big heart.

Not just in the game, but also in reality.

Facing the difficulties and targeting of media reporters, even Gary Payton will be irritated at times.

Wang Hao did not, he was always able to face it indifferently, and he was always able to resolve the difficulties of reporters very well.

After today's game is over, it is estimated that the press conference will not be too dull.

And when this came up, reporters in Los Angeles began to target.

"Can't beat the Lakers? Please, the series is now 2-2, not 4-0.

We must admit that the Lakers are a strong team, but it is impossible to say that they are invincible.

This is just one game, and one game can't explain anything, otherwise the playoffs won't be a 7-game series. "

"Wang, we found that there was no shark-slashing tactic in today's game, which allowed us to see a wonderful game.

So, should we ban shark hacking tactics and let this dirty method say goodbye to the game? "

Wang Hao shook his head and said, "Shaq's free throws are in good shape today, so the shark-slashing tactic disappeared.

I still say the same thing, the emergence of the Shaq tactic mainly depends on whether Shaq can make free throws.

Today's game proved that he did a good job and he can do well. I hope he will continue to do so, and we will monitor him. "

Hearing this, the current reporter was speechless.

After all, the reason for the shark-killing tactic lies in O'Neill, and it was the shark-killing tactic caused by O'Neal.

No, O'Neill is a victim. How dark-hearted are you to say such things?

Also, what do you mean you will supervise him?

In other words, you guys will continue to use shark-cutting tactics?

You are doing such unscrupulous things, but what you say is as if you have some good intentions!
The Western Conference finals were very tense, but the same is true for the Eastern Conference finals.

After four games, the digital team and the Bucks are also 2:2.

Iverson's fight against the three musketeers really felt like sparks hit the earth, and the fight was very intense.

Some people may think that the Bucks are three-on-one, and they can't beat Iverson, which is too rubbish.

In fact, it's just that Iverson has occupied too many stars.

In this round of the series, the performance of Mutombo and Aaron McGee is not bad at all.

Even, the defense of the two is the key to the team's victory.

In the 2001 playoffs, many people regarded all this as a battle of Iverson's apotheosis.

To be honest, Wang Hao disagreed.

First of all, he admitted that Iverson is indeed very powerful, the top scorer in the NBA.

Even among the four major shooting guards, now he is the only one who has grown to the peak and ranks first.

But to say that throughout the 2001 playoffs, the digital team relied on Iverson to reach the finals alone, that is bragging.

In addition to Iverson, the strength of the digital team should not be underestimated.

So far, Aaron McGee has averaged 15+5+5 per game, making him the most comprehensive player on the digital team.

There is also the African mountain Mutombo, who averaged 14+14 per game in the playoffs, and also had 3.1 blocks.

Well, the problem of the digital team has nothing to do with Wang Hao, and Wang Hao doesn't care about it at all.

For them, the battle of Tianwang Mountain is the key.

Now, the time has come to the end of May, and it seems that it will be June, and the time is already a bit late.

On the official side of the NBA, the schedule is also a little dense.

This time, although they will move to Seattle, there is only 2 days of rest.

Key Arena in Seattle on May 5.

It can be said that the Key Arena, which can accommodate 7000 people, is full of seats today.

Not only that, but in addition to the fans, there are also a large number of celebrities showing up, and there are a lot of them.

Of course, unlike the celebrities in Los Angeles, a large number of movie stars and singers naturally gathered around Hollywood.

What appeared in Seattle was a large number of government and enterprise celebrities.

Seattle is not only the most accomplished city in Washington State, but also a well-known city in the United States.

Here, not only Boeing, but also the hometown of Bill Gates, the richest man in the world.

It's just that, although there are many celebrities appearing, the supersonic speed has no time to care about it.

Because this game is so important.

In the fifth game of the series, whoever wins the game will be the first to get the match point.

This also means that in the next two games, the loser can only stand on the edge of the cliff.

Such pressure is absolutely unimaginable.

Therefore, no one wants to lose, the Sonics are like this, and so are the Lakers.

From the beginning of the game, the contest between the two sides has already started.

O'Neal raged inside, and Wang Hao immediately counterattacked with a three-pointer.

Gary Payton had just completed a steal, and then counterattacked and scored a layup. Kobe immediately flew to the layup and succeeded.

The excitement of the game simply made the fans excited.

Of course, in this process, the Supersonics did not use shark-killing tactics.

O'Neal didn't play miraculously in the game today. Once he was hacked by the shark, he still had a headache.

Fortunately, his hit rate is still guaranteed, with a 50% hit rate, he basically makes one and loses one.

Even with such a hit rate, the Supersonics couldn't carry out the shark-killing tactics.

Even the Sonics, in the playoffs, scored less than 1.2 points per shot.

However, the shark-killing tactic allowed the Lakers to easily score 1 point, and possibly 2 points.

Still the same sentence, as long as O'Neal ensures that his free throw percentage is above 50%, the shark-killing tactic will be self-defeating.

The shark-cutting tactic really affects the Lakers, mainly because of the impact on the offensive rhythm.

The Sonics are not obsessed with hacking the sharks. They come here from time to time, which is disgusting for the Lakers.

Especially when the Lakers are in a good offensive state and are about to gain momentum, they cut off the rhythm directly.

There are still some restrictions on the Lakers.

And this also allowed the Sonics to maintain a very close score with the Lakers and not be pulled away.

That's right, in today's game, the leads of the two sides have been exchanged no less than 20 times.

However, no matter who it is, the biggest point difference is only 5 points, and the opponent will immediately counterattack.

It can be said that this game played the most peak battle in this year's NBA playoffs.

Not only the peak of technical and tactical aspects, but also the peak of the individual strength of the players and the overall state of the team.

A game without peeing throughout the whole process can make the fans excited, but also apprehensive.

Because most of them are Supersonic fans, even they are not sure whether the Supersonics can win?
