I'm really good at shooting.

"Then what do you think about your upcoming matchup with Shaq?"

The reporter asked.

"That Shaq guy is ridiculously strong, but I also have my own advantages."

"Ok?"

"I'm younger than him."

"Haha."

"I just have to fight him for 25 to 30 minutes, and when he runs out of energy, that's what he wants to do with me."

There is confidence in Yao Ming's words, and of course his golf quotient.

But what he didn't say is that he still has a height advantage. With O'Neal's current defensive ability, there is a high probability that the two will explode with each other most of the time.

"Yao will win, we will win."

When Yao Ming's interview was about to end, McGrady came over to catch the heat.

After he finished speaking, he blinked his eyes and discharged, and he didn't know how many people's youth was taken away.

Speaking of which, the soaring points between him and Sun Hao in Orlando are still fresh in his memory, and now he meets Sun Hao in the finals.

Maybe he doesn't attract as much attention as Yao Ming, but for him, this is his best battle to rectify his name.

Winning this championship is more important to him than anything else.

"I'm rested."

The Lakers interviewed after training was "Shark" O'Neal. When the reporter forwarded Yao Ming's interview to him, he only said one sentence.

The implication of this sentence is that he was "resting and recuperating" in the regular season and all previous playoffs, but now he has had enough rest!

What he said was a bit like hey, but when he said it from the mouth of the "big shark", it gave people more of a sense of domineering sideways.

"No matter who the opponent is, no matter how many more games it takes, we will win, and no one can take it away!"

And when expected by the question finals, "Big Shark" uttered harsh words directly.

This is rarely seen with O'Neill.

But perhaps only Sun Hao knows that the big reason for this is the promise that O'Neill made to him back then:

"If you really fail to win the MVP, then I will work hard to help you get the FMVP."

The premise of this sentence is that the Lakers must defend their title.

On one side is Yao Ming, who is humorous and confident, and on the other side is O'Neal, who is rarely ambitious.

These sounds before the start of the finals gave the finals a feeling of gunpowder, and of course the fans became more and more looking forward to it.

On June 6, when many domestic high school candidates ushered in the most important exam in their lives, the biggest "exam" in the NBA finally kicked off.

The Verizon Center Arena was packed.

As a political center, Washington is theoretically very difficult to grow the football market, but first Jordan, then Yao Mai, the football market here will not work.

To paraphrase the words that the fans joked before the game: If the Wizards really win the championship in the end, then when they visit the White House next year, the team can save a fortune on transportation.

There were also many fans holding up Yao Mai's KT board. The scene in front of them was not much bigger than the Houston team in history.

But this is also a matter of course. The Houston team is fighting to break the first round, but the Wizards are now playing in the finals!

When the two teams were warming up before the game, the reporter did not interview the players of the two teams, but went straight to the God of Basketball in the front row of the auditorium.

Jordan couldn't hide the smile on his face.

The Wizards ranked first in the league in the regular season, Yao Ming won the MVP, Yao Mai was selected to the best team, and the team also reached the finals as they wished.

As long as the Wizards successfully win the championship, then this season is truly "perfect".

"Do you expect the team to win a championship?"

"Of course, my left middle finger has been empty for a very long time."

Jordan held out his hand as he spoke.

Well, this gesture is invincible.

"Yao has grown to the point where he can fight against Shaq. How do you compare T-mac's strength with Sun's?"

The reporter immediately moved on to the next question.

"Sometimes I would play with Tracy, and taught him some scoring skills. Although there are not many, it is me after all, and he has improved a lot."

Jordan said with a smile.

"Do you mean that T-mac is stronger than Sun now?"

After hearing this, Jordan's smile turned into a big laugh, and then he spoke.

"Sun's performance will be better, but I believe it will be us who will win."

What he said next sounded a bit irrelevant, obviously he didn't jump into the pit.

After the warm-up on both sides is over, the scene will enter the opening ceremony.

When Yao Mai came on stage, the cheers were overwhelming.

No one could have imagined that the Wizards would return to the Finals so quickly, including Wizards fans.

So their excitement is beyond words, and everything is in the cheers.

After the opening ceremony, the starting lineups of both sides were also released one after another.

For the Wizards, Nelson, Hamilton, McGrady, Huo Ershu, Yao Ming;

For the Lakers, Payton, Sun Hao, Ariza, Walker, O'Neal;

Both sides use the most conventional lineup.

Although the two teams have played against each other before, including last season.

But the playoffs are still different from the regular season. At the beginning of the series, both sides are still just groping for the hole, mainly probing.

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

The finals are imminent.

At this time, ESPN's latest statistics showed that at the moment before the game, the new ratings in NBA history were instantly broken!

This is already the most watched finals ever!

ps: Little Eggplant has a bit of a cold recently. He woke up after the game at 1 o’clock last night, and then he had to watch the video. He watched it until after 5 o’clock. It almost drove me crazy. I stayed up all night at this age. Oh no……

Chapter 463 Yao Sha vs. Sun Mai PK!

"beep!"

With a whistle, Yao Ming returned the ball to half court, and the curtain of the finals officially kicked off!

Nelson had the ball, and after Yao dropped to the low post, he lobbed it in.

The Wizards played inside first.

Yao Ming catches the ball and hits O'Neal with his back.

After O'Neal got fat, his reaction speed slowed down, but the confrontation was still there. After Yao Ming pushed twice, he was pushed further outside.

However, Yao Ming is a center with a perfect combination of technology and height. He took advantage of the opportunity to turn around and hook outside.

O'Neill can only look at the ball and sigh.

"Shh!"

Yao Ming showed his soft touch and sent the ball steadily into the basket.

2 is better than 0!

The Wizards come out on top!

Although he doesn't have the MVP halo bonus like Sun Hao, Yao Ming's state in the playoffs, especially after winning the MVP, is extremely hot!

The Lakers' offense, Payton advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

At this moment, Phil Jackson, who was on the bench for the Lakers, suddenly stood up.

Because he found a very "unbelievable" scene on the court.

On the Wizards side, McGrady is defending Sun Hao!

Jackson then turned his gaze to Carlisle on the sidelines.

Before the two teams played against each other, especially in the Christmas game, Sun Hao scored 62 points to kill the Wizards, unstoppable.

The Wizards, whether it is Nelson or Hamilton, including Alexander on the bench, can't stop Sun Hao at all.

Couldn't the Wizards have had a better defender?

The answer is, yes.

who?Maddie.

McGrady's physical talent is destined to be an extremely good defender.

But as I said before, the core defense rarely occurs on the court.

Because the players' physical fitness is limited, doing so will inevitably mean physical consumption on the offensive end.

Of course, there are exceptions, such as Kobe.

But McGrady is not Kobe, and the two have very different personalities.

What's more, the game has just begun!

Facing McGrady's attack in the first round, Sun Hao's shot after shaking...missed!

McGrady's physical talent is really good, whether it is static or dynamic, he is completely a plus version of Kobe.

And he is really doing his best to defend, which feels like the Suns are coming out of the west.

You must know that although McGrady has such a good talent, he has never been in the defensive lineup, and he doesn't work hard most of the time.

After successfully defending Sun Hao's goal, McGrady opened his sleepy eyes even more rarely.

To use the saying in fantasy novels, his eyes burst out with a breathtaking light after opening!

This time, it was Jackson who misunderstood Carlisle.

Defending Sun Hao was not Carlisle's arrangement, but McGrady's own request!

McGrady's personality is indeed much worse than Kobe's, but at certain times, his desire to win can also be very strong.

For example, in history, in order to help the Houston team win the playoffs, he played closed games!

Although that move later proved to be unwise, he did it.

Now that history has changed, the first-round virgin has reached the finals. This moment is much more specific than that time!

In the Wizards' offense, Nelson and Uncle Huo played a pick-and-roll, and after the split, they made a throw to O'Neal who was defending.

The ball was missed, but O'Neal had no time to take it back. After Yao Ming grabbed the offensive rebound from the basket, he scored a second offensive dunk!

4 is better than 0!

The cheers on the scene shook, and Jordan extended his hand to applaud the team's performance.

The Wizards got off to a perfect start.

On the Lakers' bench, Phil Jackson frowned slightly.

Judging from the fact that McGrady didn't participate in the Wizards' opening two attacks, the Wizards will use McGrady to defend Sun Hao throughout the game tonight.

If Sun Hao and McGrady trade one-on-one, the Lakers will be at a disadvantage.

It has to be said that the Wizards' adjustment is in place.

Now, it depends on whether Sun Hao can break through McGrady's defense.

Payton took the ball to the frontcourt, ready to continue to give the ball to Sun Hao.

But at this moment, Sun Hao made a new tactical gesture to him.
