Starting from the last bus in the NBA

Chapter 300 Madison Square Garden 2
301. Madison Square Garden Arena 2
Gary Payton broke through quickly, but he never got rid of Mark Jackson, looking completely caught by him.

However, at this moment, Gary Payton turned around suddenly, with a flick of his wrist, the basketball was in the middle.

Mark Jackson realized it later, and then saw a figure suddenly rushing over from beyond the three-point line.

I have to say, this guy is really brave enough, even seeing Wang Hao rushing over, he even dared to block the hole of the gun.

Even Gary Payton has to admit, this guy is brave.

It's a pity that in this case, being brave is useless, at least not allowing him to defend successfully.

The high-jumping Wang Hao directly crushed Mark Jackson. When the two bodies collided in the air, he smashed the basketball into the basket.

"boom!"

Not only was the rim whining, Mark Jackson was also hit by Wang Hao and flew directly out of the baseline.

34:40
Having no time to care about the unlucky Mark Jackson, Wang Hao glanced at the score and quickly returned to his own half.

With Wang Hao's time to play, he scored two strong points and brought the difference between the two teams back.

Especially these two scores, a pull-up three-pointer and a dunk.

It has to be said that the morale is too high, even Knicks fans show some signs of defection.

At first glance, the Sonics have reversed momentum.

However, in the next Knicks offense, Alan Hughes stood up again.

Taking advantage of the excellent running position, this allowed him to find a chance to make a shot.

In fact, Michael Reid's defense did not lose his position, and Alan Houston's chance was only a split second.

But at this moment, the CIC king showed his value and made a steady two-pointer from the mid-range.

Not just Alan Houston, but also a madman, this guy's madness makes sense.

It is obviously a high scoring opportunity, and it may be ruined by him.

But there are also situations where the opportunity does not exist at all, but let him hit the fairy ball.

The two continued to score points, trying to follow Don Cheney's arrangement to establish a sufficient advantage in the first half.

It's just that Wang Hao obviously won't make them happy.

Whether it's low-post singles on the inside or three-pointers on the outside, he has too many offensive methods.

In the second quarter, the state of the teammates also picked up.

Rashad Lewis and Gary Payton hit two long points one after another, which made the Knicks hesitate to double-team.

After all, this is Gary Payton and Rashard Lewis, the Sonics' second- and third-leading scorers this season.

Gary Payton averaged 18.6 points per game, and Rashard Lewis also scored 15.8 points.

Although they knew that the two of them were in poor condition today, no one dared to let them go completely.

And this gave Wang Hao a chance.

One-on-one, or even one-on-two, Wang Hao played very resolutely, firmly biting the score.

Wang Hao chooses a more reasonable way of playing, which does not mean that he cannot play unreasonably.

Don't think that just a certain snake can hit two with one, Wang Hao can still do it, and he can perform better.

To put it bluntly, the Knicks lack the strength to make a final decision.

52:56
At the end of the halftime game, the point difference between the two teams remained within 5 points, which is definitely good news for the Sonics.

Of course, the Knicks are not unacceptable, after all, they are the leading party.

"Come on, let's get rid of the opponent in the third quarter."

Paul Westphal did not scold the player for his poor condition, or in other words, it was not the time to scold.

Sometimes swearing works, other times it just backfires.

For example, now, the Supersonic players are not not serious about playing, but purely in poor condition and lack of concentration.

At this time, cursing has no effect.

"In the third quarter, Wang, I need you to score 20 points and give Madison Square Garden a good night."

Speaking of this, Paul Westphal smiled, Wang Hao was his only satisfaction tonight.

It was also at this time that, as the head coach, he suddenly realized that this third-year player was already the most trustworthy person in the Sonics.

His importance to the team has surpassed Gary Payton.

Even though Wang Hao was already the core of the team last year, he has more power to fire.

However, this is only on the court.

In the locker room and off the court, Gary Payton was the recognized leader.

In fact, last season, Wang Hao saved the Supersonic at critical moments more than once.

However, at that time, he was still a little immature.

This season, he has fully matured and become the most reliable person in the Sonics.

The reason Paul Westphal said this was because Wang Hao had already scored 29 points at halftime.

With 14 points in the first quarter and 15 points in the second quarter, today's Wang Hao is not only fully fired, but also in full swing.

If Wang Hao can really score another 20 points in the third quarter, it will be another 50+ game.

Moreover, this is 50+ in Madison Gardens.

Madison Square Garden has a special power in the NBA. It is a sacred place for basketball.

An NBA star, if he fails to create a classic in Madison Garden, then his career is incomplete.

"As for the others, listen to me, defense, defense, or fucking defense.

I want to tell everyone through this game that we can not only win games with offense, but also defense! "

State, or shooting touch will affect the offense, but will not affect the defense.

Therefore, Paul Westphal has made a decision, and he intends to use defense to solve the battle.

I have to say that Wang Hao's offense, supplemented by the supersonic's full defense, is a bit shocking to think about.

The halftime breaks continued, but by the time the head coach arranged for the third quarter, the time was about the same.

When the Sonics stepped onto the court, the Knicks players showed up around the same time.

At this time, the madman suddenly came over, and after a short distance, he suddenly made a movement of cutting his neck.

Provocation, naked provocation!

The referee did not perform, which made Paul Westphal very dissatisfied, but he still stopped the players first, and then protested by himself.

As a result, the referee still did not perform.

What he meant was already obvious. After all, today is the Knicks' home court, so let's save face and forget it!

Well, the main thing is that the madman didn't come over, but did it in the Knicks' half.

He didn't provoke someone.

Well, if he really dared to come over to provoke him so boldly, he probably wouldn't be able to go back.

A madman is mad, not stupid!
"I don't know what Don Cheney said at halftime, the Knicks fans are very excited!"

Wang Hao was a little speechless. It seemed that today's game would not end so easily.

Gary Payton seemed to have heard Wang Hao's doubts, and he said, "You don't have to think about it, it must be related to you.

Paul wants you to get 50+ at Madison Square Garden, the Knicks don't.

Be careful later, protect yourself, don't get hurt! "

Every star regards conquering Madison Square Garden as a goal, or an achievement.

However, there is one team that doesn't think so.

That's right, the Knicks, they don't want to see their home court conquered time and time again.

What's more, it's still a key game like the Christmas game.

Don Cheney's coaching ability is hard to evaluate, but this inspiring ability is indeed very good.

Look at the Knicks players, all of them are full of fighting spirit and look like wolves and tigers. The momentum is really good.

It's just that Wang Hao doesn't care, it's just a small scene.

Not to mention that the current Knicks are not considered a wolf, let alone a tiger, even if they are, he will not back down.

"Di!"

With the whistle of the referee, the game started again.

The Supersonics made adjustments in personnel, and Ewing did not continue to start, but replaced it with the previous lineup.

Lewis and PJ Brown partner inside, so as to make the supersonic more flexible.

When facing Allan Houston, they can truly switch defenses infinitely.

The game continued, and the Sonics once again succeeded in jumping the ball.

In the first round of offense, as soon as Wang Hao got the ball, the Knicks double-teamed immediately.

It's not like Wang Hao hasn't done it before.

Of course, what I'm talking about here is on the field. As for off-field, I really don't have a chance, but it's quite attractive.

Wang Hao felt that with his physique, he could play mahjong, not to mention fighting the landlord.

It's just that, on the field of competition, he doesn't really like this kind of thing, after all, they are a group of old men.

A big guy is not his taste.

Wang Hao finally chose to pass the ball, he still wanted to give his teammates a little more chance.

Gary Payton's three-pointer bounced out of the basket again.

Not to mention that Wang Hao is very disappointed, even Gary Payton is also very disappointed. He has already improved his concentration in the game.

What's even more speechless is that the rebound bounced far away and just fell into the hands of the madman.

This directly gave the Knicks a chance to fight back.

"Shh!"

After facing Wang Hao and scoring a layup, the madman even showed off his muscles, provoking unabashedly.

Wang Hao was suddenly a little upset, this guy is really annoying!
Going back to the Sonics' offense, it was still a similar routine, with Mark Jackson eager to double-team.

Wang Hao found the right opportunity and quickly passed the ball.

Not to mention, Mark Jackson's double-teaming was actually a temptation, and he couldn't let go of Gary Payton completely.

Seeing Wang Hao pass the ball, he quickly retracted it.

As for Gary Payton, he even looked like "no". Obviously, he himself felt that he should not pass the ball to him.

However, just as he was about to catch the ball, his face was full of astonishment. The ball flew back halfway?
Well, this is purely an illusion, and Wang Hao doesn't have special abilities.

In fact, this was a fake move. Wang Hao grabbed the ball with one hand, made a pass fake move, and then took the ball back.

Because Wang Hao's palm is big enough and he can catch the ball firmly enough, the movements of such a person are also realistic enough.

If you change to a player with small hands, you can't do it.

Kobe: Thank you so much for always remembering me!
Caught off guard, before the madman had time to react, Wang Hao had already broken through and entered the inside line.

Facing two insiders who were less than 210 cm tall, Wang Hao didn't hesitate at all, and planned to force him directly.

I have to say, the Warriors of the Knicks team, it was Mark Jackson before, and now Kurt Thomas.

Facing Wang Hao who was going to force him, Kurt Thomas rushed forward very bravely.

The legs exploded with all their strength, and they jumped high, vowing to guard the basket.

However, the next thing he saw was that even if he took off with all his strength, he was still overwhelmed.

Kurt Thomas reached out and pressed forward, but he could only see Wang Hao's wrist.

However, Wang Hao slammed the basketball with his right hand and slammed it hard at the basket.

"boom!"

It's easiest to lose your balance in midair, and that's what happened to Kurt Thomas, and he slipped when he landed.

In order to avoid getting hurt, he naturally took advantage of the situation and sat directly on the ground.

In fact, for NBA players, this is already considered a basic skill.

Compared with being injured, falling to the ground is really nothing.

However, when this scene is put at this moment, it seems very shocking, because Wang Hao is still holding the basket with one hand.

"Wang Kou overturned Kurt."

"He can only watch this scene weakly and innocently."

……

The photographer faithfully recorded this scene, the overlord holding the basket with one hand, looking down on the weak from above.

"Di!"

At the same time, the referee's whistle also sounded, this is also a foul, and there is an additional penalty.

And all this is just the beginning.

Facing the weak Knicks inside, Wang Hao showed a cruel side, attacking the basket with all kinds of strength.

If the Knicks want to target Wang Hao strongly, then he will be stronger.

In fact, from the beginning of the second half of the game, the Knicks' various small actions have not stopped.

Madman's various elbows, and the Knicks' insiders also made various big moves, and the meaning is already obvious.

Wang Hao was overthrown again and again.

It's just that what everyone didn't expect was that he was stronger, and he was also not soft on his hands.

How do you feel, then you have to ask the madman.

Wang Hao broke through again with the ball. At the moment of the breakthrough, the madman was just about to push his hips, and he swung his elbow directly.

Looking at the smooth and flowing movements, it seems that it was really something incidental to the breakthrough, not intentional.

Without 30 years of skill, it is estimated that they will not be able to do it.

The madman snorted, and could only watch helplessly as Wang Hao broke through and then hit a mid-range shot.

As the head coach of the Knicks, Don Cheney had to call a timeout, and the Knicks were stopped again.

It has to be said that Don Cheney's tactical arrangement is really rigid enough, he asked to limit Wang Hao's breakthrough.

"Wang, don't try to break through to the inside again."

After returning to the field, the madman who was close to Wang Hao's defense suddenly said this, and looked at his defensive position again.

Wang Hao almost couldn't help laughing: "It's a deal, double happiness!"

For Wang Hao, this is a great thing. He is not polite, and he just shoots from outside the three-point line.

"Shh!"

The consecutive outside three-pointers directly stunned the Knicks.

In the 4 rounds of offense, Wang Hao made 4 of [-] three-pointers, which directly caused Don Cheney to call a timeout again.

Because the score was overtaken.

In less than 2 minutes, the Knicks were stopped twice and had to use the timeout twice.

Perhaps, they don't know what to do other than limit Wang Hao's hand feeling by pausing!
