I'm really good at shooting.

Some people will say, "Black Eight" is enough!

However, human desires are endless.

Moreover, the Knicks, the last time in history to complete the "black eight", have been to the finals.

So it's completely normal for the Warriors to have expectations.

The game began immediately, and the two teams started to play one after another.

Amidst the cheers of the fans at the scene, O'Neal easily returned the ball to the Lakers half, officially kicking off the Western Conference semifinals.

On the Lakers' first attack, Payton directly fed the ball to O'Neal, who was in the inside position, after changing his style of play in the first round.

O'Neal didn't hesitate after receiving the ball, and leaned on Biedrins to make a hook shot.

Sun Hao is no stranger to Bidderings. This is an absolutely alternative insider developed by the old Nelson in history, even more unusual than Stoudemire.

He is 2 meters tall, with a thin build and excellent jumping. He is somewhat similar to Anderson, so he is also called "the fighter among whites".

But he has better flexibility and stronger physical confrontation than Anderson, which allows him to achieve more than Anderson in history.

Just like the first ball up, he interfered with O'Neal's offense with a confrontation that was beyond O'Neal's expectations, and then...

There is no use.

The moment O'Neal made the shot, he knew that he would not go in. He had already made a second shot ahead of time and completed a tip-up over Biedrins' head.

Biedrins interfered with the first and was completely useless on the second.

O'Neill's weight is all on him now, and it's just a dream when he thinks about it.

The Lakers come out on top.

When returning to the defensive end, the Lakers' defense is also very interesting. O'Neal guards the basket and everyone else expands.

It's a bit like the Spurs defense before, and then the Warriors suddenly can't play.

The three-pointer is restricted, and there is O'Neal at the basket. This is forcing them to shoot mid-range!

But they don't have a better midrange than the Spurs...

"The defensive strategy of the Lakers makes me feel like Avery Johnson is mentally retarded."

Barkley's big mouth was merciless, and he complained directly.

You must know that in the first round, Johnson didn't even try such a thing.

Although they don't have O'Neal, Diop is not bad at the basket alone.

Davis finally rushed to the basket, obviously rushing to make a foul.

But O'Neill was not fooled. Instead, he seized this opportunity and directly gave Davis a big cap.

With this offense and defense, the Lakers fans on the scene were already excited.

In the first round, the Warriors restrained the Mavericks more, and in the second round the Lakers had more control over the Warriors!

And the remarks about "whether O'Neal can play in the small ball era" can really be completely concluded.

With this kind of internal pressure, those small ball teams don't think about how to speed up at all, but protect their fragile penalty area!

Because you can't defend the inside line, you can't talk about defensive counterattacks. Throwing three-pointers from the outside line is absolutely impossible to kill.

This is also the biggest difference between the Warriors under Cole and the Warriors under Nelson in history.

Among these two teams, there is Mark Jackson, the founder of the Warriors dynasty, who implanted the concept of defense into the Warriors and transformed the Warriors.

The game on the field continues.

On the defensive end, O'Neal defended Richardson's attack at the basket, with a great sense of sight of "one shark guards the pass, ten thousand fish can't open it".

And after O'Neal got the rebound, the Lakers counterattacked the Warriors counterattack, Sun Hao crossed the defense and ignited the audience with a fast break dunk.

After the Warriors finally relied on Richardson's off-the-ball mid-range to break the scoring drought.

Looking back, O'Neal turned around inside and directly arched Biedrins away, with a "shark out of the cage" dunk with both hands, the entire basket trembled!

Such rounds of offense and defense continued to be staged in the game, and the old Nelson's adjustments had little effect.

As a result, after half a quarter, the Warriors only scored 8 points...

The fans basically knew it when they saw this.

The current round of the series is really a serious walk-off!

Chapter 456 Where is Durant Going?

At this time, O'Neal was replaced by Mourning.

The big shark had a big smile on his face.

Just like what he showed when chatting with Sun Hao, the Sharks refused to play against the Warriors at first, and what he feared most after he became fat was to run back and forth all over the court.

But after playing for half a quarter, he entered the "physically honest" stage.

The inside configuration of the Warriors is to give him a sense of game experience!

Mourning came off the bench, and the Lakers still maintained their advantage on the court.

The difference between Sun Hao and Kobe is also evident at this stage.

Kobe used one method to convince you, while Sun Hao used the most correct method to defeat you.

After O'Neal was off the court, he didn't take outside shots, and all of them went to the basket.

The purpose of doing this is also very clear, not to give the Warriors a chance to grab long rebounds.

The Warriors have no rebounds, and they still can't fight back!

Some people may ask, the Lakers are so resolute at the basket, why don't the Warriors shrink their defense?

Because of shrinking defense, you can't fight back!

The Warriors run fast, but they are also human. If you want him to fly from the three-second zone to the three-point line, they can't do it.

If you have played 2K, you will be very clear about this. The fastest way to complete the fast break is to turn around and run to the front court after the opponent makes a shot, waiting for the backcourt teammates to grab the rebound and then give a long pass.

And in order to increase the success rate, it is best for teammates to grab long rebounds, so that long passes are not easy to be interfered and destroyed.

Now that the most critical part of the fast break has been cut off, it is naturally difficult to fight back.

Old Nelson rubbed his forehead with his hands on the sidelines.

It was also against his former lover, but Sun Hao put much more pressure on him than Nowitzki.

Moreover, the current Sun Hao has no technical shortcomings on the offensive end, nor can he be targeted like Nowitzki.

One word, difficult!

As the game continued, the Warriors lost their temper.

For the Warriors team, anyone can play when they are excited to play.

But being under such pressure all the time, the momentum quickly disappeared, and the collapse was faster than most teams.

Before the end of the three quarters, the Lakers had established a 20-point lead, and the game ended early.

In the end, the Lakers beat the Warriors 103 to 83 at home and won their first victory in the semifinal opener.

O'Neal scored a double-double with 22 points and 21 rebounds in just 10 minutes.

Such a result is in stark contrast to the first-round series between the Warriors and the Mavericks, and it also aroused heated discussions among fans in the forum.

"Thank you Lakers, I finally know where the problems of our team are, and how far Johnson can go!"

"There is no harm if there is no comparison. We really should change the head coach, otherwise we will be wasting the peak of Kobe and Dirk!"

"How about we go and invite old Nelson back? He will be black when he comes back, and he is familiar with the team. There is no more suitable candidate than him!"

"At the beginning, he was mad at him, but now he invites him back? Do you really think old Nelson is a jerk?"

"Hey! This tells us that we can't be impulsive when we are human. No one knows what will happen in the future. We have to keep a line in life!"

"It's just that it's cheaper for the Lakers. This is going to the Western Conference Finals lying down!"

"To be honest, I think even if we win the Warriors, it will be difficult to beat the Lakers..."

"I agree. I don't know if it's my illusion. I feel that the Lakers are still in a half-stroke state. Sun and Shaq haven't exerted much force."

"It's not an illusion, it's really like this. The veterans of the Lakers have come out, and the Lakers are going to defend their title!"

"The only thing that can stop the Lakers is the Wizards."

"Where's the sun?"

"Nash will be exposed by the sun again, and there will be no underwear left... Wasn't it like that when he was in the Warriors?"

"I don't think so. The overall defensive ability of the Suns is much better than that of the Warriors. I think the Suns and the Lakers are at least [-]-[-], or even [-]-[-]."

"No need to discuss, we will see soon!"

……

While the fans were discussing hotly in the forum, another semifinal game in the Western Conference, the game between the Suns and the Nuggets was underway.

And the reason why fans will say "soon to see the Lakers play the Suns" is because the Nuggets were hanged by the Suns...

In the future, fans often compare the 73-win Warriors with the Suns in history. In fact, they do have a lot in common.

A gorgeous and ferocious offense, and a defense that is easily overlooked by fans because of the offense.

Many people may say that the Suns are often bombarded by opponents with 110 or even 120 points. How can the defense be considered good?

This is where the data can be deceiving.

In the future small ball era, games will often score 120 or even 130 points.

In addition to the body whistle, a bigger reason is that the second attack has been reduced from the original 24 seconds to 14 seconds.

The direct result of this is that there are many more offensive rounds in the game, and the scoring will naturally go up.

This is why this Suns team is often bombarded by opponents at 110+ or ​​even 120+.

Because of D'Antoni's 7-second offense, the purpose is to increase the number of rounds, and then fight to score and explode.

So don't be deceived by the data, watch the Suns' games more, and you will find that their defensive strength is at the forefront of the league.

One of the most direct evidence is that the Suns ranked fifth in the league in defensive efficiency this season.

The immature Nuggets faced such an offensive and defensive team, and the result can be imagined.

James' performance is fairly normal, after all, what can really limit his performance is the super insider.

But the performance of others obviously dived under the high-intensity defense, which also caused the Nuggets to lose by a big score.

After the game, the Nuggets fans started a new round of calls, demanding to find a strong helper for James.

Some fans even hope to use this voice to awaken the fighting spirit of other Nuggets players.

It's just that in the face of the powerful Suns, whether this method will work is a big question mark.

After easily winning the first game of the semifinals, the atmosphere in the Lakers team was relaxed, and Sun Hao was also in a good mood.

On the game day, after training, Sun Hao was chatting with O'Neill in the training hall when he suddenly found a familiar head poking out of the door.

After a closer look, I realized it was Durant.

"How did you get in?"

Sun Hao walked over full of surprise.

The training hall is not a place where people can come and go casually, even reporters have to get permission to come in.

"The security guard at the gate knew me, he said he remembered you gave me sneakers."

Sun Hao was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then laughed.

Durant is considered a relationship, so he went through the back door.

"Shaq, come here and introduce you to future superstars."

Sun Hao turned to greet O'Neill.

This is not the first time Durant has come to the Staples Center. On the night of 81 points, he gave Durant the original sneakers;
