I'm really good at shooting.

Therefore, as Jackson said, Sun Hao and O'Neal are the foundation, and Horry's magical performance came later.

"Do you feel like Robert upstaged you and Shaq?"

A reporter smiled and asked Sun Hao a question.

"No no, I hope he can play like this every night."

Sun Hao also replied with a smile.

He doesn't care about limelight, because he no longer needs that kind of thing to increase his popularity.

Just like how he felt watching O'Neal in the paint, he could win the game easily, and there was no need to challenge the difficulty.

As he spoke, Sun Hao felt a little thirsty, and took another sip of the wolfberry tea in the thermos in front of him.

People, after all, there is only one life, even if he is a time traveler, so sometimes when you can live a more relaxed life, try to be as relaxed as possible.

Of course, it's when you can win easily.

Tonight was one such night.

The Tianwangshan battle between the Spurs and the Lakers was fierce.

On the second day after they finished the game, the remaining three groups of games also finished the fifth game one after another.

In the West, the Lone Ranger team really copied the trajectory of the first round, beating the Sonics at home and advancing to the Western Conference Finals with a big score of 4-1.

In the East, the Pistons and Wizards also successfully won the game at home and successfully won the match point.

The four-group match and three-group competition are still going on. Apart from who can advance, the fans also care about which side will have a tiebreaker.

During this period of time, ESPN complied with public opinion and conducted a very interesting survey. The name of the survey is: Which group of games do you think will reach the tiebreaker?

After the survey, the Spurs and Lakers got more than 50% of the votes.

This is also expected, the strength of the two teams in the series is very close, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the two strongest teams this season.

The old-fashioned topic is that the new rules of the league have allowed these two teams to meet in the conference semifinals ahead of schedule.

Two days later, the Lakers enclave San Antonio for Game [-] of their series against the Spurs.

During the pre-match training, Horry became the "sought after" object of his teammates.

"Robert, don't go back to the locker room if you don't make 7 three-pointers tonight."

"Robert, look in front of the San Antonio fans what a loss they've lost you this summer."

"Robert, don't worry, as long as you are open and don't pass the ball to you, you can come and beat me."

……

Although the sixth game is a match point game, it can be felt from this that the mentality of the Lakers players is still very relaxed.

After training, O'Neill and Sun Hao still sat on the sidelines and chatted.

"It's hard for Robert to play that kind of game again, and it's even hard to play well this time."

O'Neill made a prediction, a normal prediction.

In the following games, the Spurs will probably focus on marking Horry.

"Don't worry, we don't just have Robert."

Sun Hao nodded, and gestured to Ma Long and Uncle Huo who were not far away.

The strength of the role players of this team is no worse than that of the original Mavericks.

"Also, I hope that the Spurs will focus on marking our role players in this game, because then the two of us can score more points."

Sun Hao then added another sentence.

As Jackson said, he and O'Neal are the basics of this Lakers team.

Role players are expected to perform well every game, but you can't expect them to perform well every game.

After all, the salary gap everyone gets is here. If the energy field is good, there will be no difference between the maximum salary and the basic salary.

O'Neill nodded approvingly.

50+ points is the lower limit of their two performances, but they can also hit their upper limit tonight.

That night, the ATT Arena was full.

Like the outside world, fans are also looking forward to the Spurs being able to win the game at home, and then go to the tie-breaker with the Lakers.

As analyzed after the fifth game, they have enough reasons to believe that the Spurs can do this.

The expectations of the fans can be felt in the cheers of the opening ceremony before the game.

With that overwhelming momentum, it is hard to imagine that this is in San Antonio, a well-known small ball city in the league.

The cheers reached a peak when Ginobili played.

All of this has a lot to do with the existence of Ginobili.

His scoring ability and the way he scores are all unconventional in this Spurs team.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Spurs' ability to play against the Suns and Lakers this season is basically because of Ginobili's existence.

As Sun Hao, who watched the 05 Finals, he couldn't be more impressed by that.

You must know that the Pistons team is known as one of the strongest defensive teams in history, but Ginobili can come and go freely in that kind of defense.

20 minutes Jordan, it sounds like a nickname that ordinary people can have.

Well, the opening ceremony also showed that Popovich made another adjustment and put Ginobili back in the starting lineup.

Everything back to the origin of the series?

Sun Hao doesn't think so.

And because he has fought so many times, he can even guess what Popovich is thinking now.

Let Ginobili play the first few minutes, let the Spurs and the Lakers play evenly, or even have an advantage, and then replace Ginobili in advance.

At the end of the quarter, when the rotation came, Ginobili was replaced with a substitute.

If you do this, it means that Ginobili has played both as a starter and as a substitute.

Of course, the disadvantages of doing so are also foreseeable. The playing time is cut into pieces, which will be a challenge for the players.

You must know that the player's state often requires continuous playing to play out.

It's just that Popovich doesn't have to worry too much about this. Ginobili is rarely the kind who can make a contribution on the court.

Tonight's game will be intense.

But Sun Hao was even more excited.

At this stage of his strength, it seems boring to ask him to fight the abuse game.

Only defeating a more powerful opponent will give him a sense of accomplishment.

So he instead hopes that the Spurs can show their strongest performance tonight.

Again, what is the strongest?Hitting is the strongest!

The final arrangement was over, and the starters from both sides appeared one after another.

The Spurs did not make starting adjustments, but on the Lakers side, Jackson directly replaced Christie with Horry to start!

It's a mental game!

Nesterovic and O'Neal's jump ball.

The Slovenian played chicken blood, dialed the ball back to the Spurs half, and the home team got the first chance to attack.

Ginobili broke through Finley with the ball as soon as he came up.

Finley tried his best, but Ginobili made a fake pass to Duncan at the free throw line. After receiving the ball, Duncan made a fake shot and wiped it to the basket for a layup.

"Snapped!"

But at the moment of his shot, a big hand fanned his shot out of the court.

There was a commotion at the scene.

Duncan is still at his peak, and there are still many people in this league who can take on him!

When experts in the future do technical statistics and count the players with the most blocked shots in the league, Duncan was "fake king" with 1489 honors.

You may not believe this, but as the background emperor in the NBA super giant, it is also expected.

Of course, this is a digression. What can be seen on offense and defense this time is that both teams are in a very hot state.

Ginobili's breakthrough points are beautiful, Duncan's cut is also beautiful, and O'Neal's blocks are even more beautiful.

This game, even if no goals are scored, is still very enjoyable.

The sideline ball was sent out, and Ginobili took the initiative to attack this time, twisting his body and hitting the ball with a Eurostep throw!

The demon knife still exudes a ghostly green light!

Spurs, come out on top!

Looking back, Sun Hao was holding the ball on the outside, and the Spurs did not double-team him immediately.

And a detail worth paying attention to is the same as Sun Hao and O'Neill predicted before the game. Horry has always been marked by someone.

Although I thought it was impossible for Horry to play a game like that in the fifth game, no one would really say that he would be given another shot like that!

Popovich wouldn't take a bet that Horry didn't have any bullets in his gun.

If there is, the Spurs will have to explain it directly.

After all, this is G6, and the Spurs are still behind, he can't afford to gamble!

But in this way, Sun Hao and O'Neal's offensive space will suddenly increase.

In a sense, the impact of Horry's performance in the last game is by no means just the last game!

Sun Hao, after calling Malone for a pick-and-roll, made a signature step-back three-pointer!

After the ball spun through the air and drew an arc... it went into the net hollowly!

Confirmed the eyes, it is the three points they are familiar with!

3:2.

This scene, the Spurs fans at the scene expressed a little familiarity.

In the third game of the series, the confrontation between "Demon Sword" and "Ritian" is still fresh in people's memory.

Ginobili scored Bowen suddenly, and the latter's three-pointer hit the frame.

Looking back, Sun Hao continued to choose the three-point shot after the pick-and-roll.

Duncan laid the ball in time, but Sun Hao still chose to take a three-pointer with a step back.

Duncan interfered, and Sun Hao's three-pointer hit the back edge of the basket and went out.

but!

O'Neal suppressed Nesterovic on the inside, grabbed the offensive rebound, and then the shark went out to sea, tyrannizing the basket with both hands!

This buckle surprised the fans.

O'Neal played a bit of health in front of him, and this sudden explosion can be said to be a bit "unexpected".

But, this is a big shark!

Popovich touched his chin and frowned.

What he saw was not O'Neal's dunk, but Sun Hao's choice.

Sun Hao and Kobe Bryant have completely different styles of play, and there are very few times when they are head-to-head.

But for the ball just now, Sun Hao chose to shoot a three-pointer even though Duncan's defense was in place.

This doesn't look normal.

Is it because Sun Hao is very confident in his touch?not necessarily!

Under normal circumstances, Sun Hao would choose to play this way, more often when he felt that he felt good, he could shoot from the three-point line all the way to the logo.

But now the game has just begun!

So like Sun Hao, as an old opponent, Popovich also guessed why Sun Hao did that.
