I'm really good at shooting.

Just like tonight, although O'Neill didn't play, why did he follow him to Denver?

Because it is not sure whether O'Neill will play, Karl has to prepare more than before.

After the Lakers, the Nuggets also held a press conference.

Iverson, James and Karl attended together.

Carl was all smiles and high spirits.

Sweeping the Lone Ranger and leading the Lakers 2-1, the performance of the Nuggets in this year's playoffs can be described as "shocking the league".

"As long as we win the next home game, we can win this series."

Carl also made no secret of his excitement.

His emotions are also understandable.

Because for a long time, although he is the quasi-Qiansheng coach, but because of his poor record in the playoffs, the outside world has not evaluated him highly.

Now that he finally has a chance to prove himself, and even has a chance to win his first championship in his coaching career, how could he hide his emotions.

As for the promotion because of O'Neal's injury, he doesn't care about that.

Know that human memory is short.

After a few years, people will only discuss who is the champion in which year, and how many people will care about how they got it?

"We got an opportunity."

James is also full of expectations for the following games.

But apart from that, there is endless appreciation for Iverson in his words.

"Allen's performance tonight cannot be described in words. He inspired me. Whether Shaq will play or not in the next game, I have full confidence in the game."

……

After the game on social media, with a big score of 2 to 1, fans are optimistic about the Nuggets.

"I don't think Shaq will be able to play in the next game. Now that the Lakers lose the game, their morale is not good. If Shaq can come back, the Lakers have no reason not to say..."

"So what about Shaq? Camby and Martin can handle both, and don't forget that Shaq is 35 years old!"

"Yes, and Shaq's return from injury is also unknown. Don't forget that we also have AI!"

"AI is really invincible tonight, and the score against Sun is still the same as when the battle was OK!"

"That is, even if Shaq comes back, it's just doing what he did 7 years ago!"

"Zhong Ai's life! I look forward to AI leading the team to the finals again! This time with James by his side, he will definitely win the championship!"

"As a fan of AI, I want to say that he is no worse than Kobe at all. If he was surrounded by 'big sharks', he would have already won the championship!"

"It's not too late, Nuggets champion!"

"I am also a fan of Sun, but this time I hope the Nuggets can win and let history remember him forever!"

……

There will be no match point in G4 of the Western Conference Finals, but its impact on the trend of the series will be decisive.

The Lakers won Tianwangshan from both sides and returned to the same starting line;

The Nuggets won by a big score of 3 to 1, and it is very difficult for the Lakers to come back.

This day is the offseason of the Western Conference Finals, and the Lakers continue to train and prepare for the game in Denver.

That is, on this day, O'Neill participated in the team's confrontation training.

The big shark is finally coming back!

During the training session, O'Neal seemed very excited, and he was extremely active on both offense and defense.

This is totally understandable.

This year's playoffs can be described as suffering for him.

Playing the Jazz in the first round, the difference in strength was too great, and he clocked in three quarters. He sat on the bench for a long time and was bored waiting for the game to end.

In the second round, he finally became interested in playing Kobe, but after two games of excitement, Shark came again, but he still had to sit on the bench.

After surviving the Shark Derby, in the Western Conference Finals, he was ready to educate Camby, the "best defensive player", but he was injured in the first game...

Although he doesn't like to play too much time during the game, but the playoffs where the rest is longer than the game time is not good!

Especially in the last game, Phil Jackson didn't let him play, let him sit off the court and watch the team lose, which can be regarded as suffocating him.

It can be foreseen that even if the next game is still played in the Denver Plateau, O'Neal will still be alive and well.

After the training was over, Sun Hao and O'Neal sat and chatted on the sidelines again.

O'Neill was out of breath, and the plateau was still a bit uncomfortable for him.

"I will continue to assist you in the next game."

Sun Hao said.

Originally thought that after the Los Angeles Derby, he could finally rely on O'Neal's inside advantage to rest for two games.

As a result, good guy, O'Neal was crippled in a wave. He played three consecutive games until he exhausted his last drop of energy.

No matter how long he lasted, he couldn't stand the tossing and dying every night!

"You continue to fight."

O'Neill's answer surprised Sun Hao.

But what he continued made Sun Hao laugh.

"I love those goals of yours, it's cool."

What he said were not polite words, the number of times he got up to celebrate Sun Hao's goals in the last game can be cut into a highlight.

Sun Hao nodded with a smile.

OK, let's get on with it.

For men, the most important thing is to last and last longer.

And it's not necessarily a bad thing for him to continue to fight like this.

Although O'Neal didn't play much in the first game, there are some things that can be determined.

Singles against Camby, O'Neal is very easy, but facing Camby and Martin at the same time, he can no longer be as calm as two years ago.

If Sun Hao diverts the Nuggets' defensive focus to the perimeter, then O'Neal will naturally be able to play easily at the basket.

This is not a simple inside and outside tactics, but the principle is actually the same.

And taking a step back, even if he can't make a shot, if O'Neal and Camby are one-on-one at the basket, the chances of grabbing offensive rebounds are much greater!

Some people may say that this Sun Hao is no different from the previous Kobe!

Of course there is a difference!

If he realizes that the badge is not playing a positive role, he will pass the ball to the basket in advance!

In fact, Kobe can do this now.

It's just that if something is missed, it is missed, and Sun Hao just made up for it.

The two finalized the style of play for the next game, and then talked to Phil Jackson, and Zen Master naturally would not object.

The two core members of the team both hoped that the other party would play more, and even came to ask for his opinion. How could he object to such a harmonious thing.

Everything is ready, just waiting for the next game to start!

That night, after waiting for a long time, the East Finals finally kicked off.

Wizards vs Celtics.

Sun Hao and O'Neill also watched the live broadcast of the game together in the hotel room.

Although this is only the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals, it is difficult to hold back when these two teams collide.

Watching the live broadcast will allow them to have the greatest understanding of their opponents in the finals.

Some people may say that the Lakers may not be able to enter the finals!

Well, if you really can't get in, just watch the game.

The collision of these two teams is an event that fans cannot miss.

Recently, it was reported that Nelson was close to making a comeback, but when the live broadcast footage was shown, he should still be unable to play in a suit and leather shoes.

After the opening ceremony, the two teams started out one after another.

Wizards Francis, McGrady, Artest, Webber, Yao Ming.

This lineup played equally with the Lakers at the beginning, and Carlisle has been using it in the playoffs.

Celtics Rondo, Ray Allen, Pierce, Garnett, Perkins.

Rivers really trusts Rondo.

Before the live broadcast started, Sun Hao and O'Neal made a wave of guesses about which team would win.

O'Neill is more interested in talent.

According to him, the Wizards have Yao after all.

Sun Hao was happy after listening to it.

In fact, the NBA is really interesting sometimes.

Those old enemies on the court, and even many fans are fighting to the death, maybe they all admire each other in private.

Sun Hao is more optimistic about the Celtics.

He felt that the Wizards might gain some advantages at the beginning, but the resilience of the Celtics would help the Celtics win in the end.

The two disagree, which makes even watching a live stream interesting.

The game starts soon.

And from the very beginning, it was fierce fighting.

Garnett faced Yao Ming directly as soon as he came up.

It seems that Rivers hopes to be able to play the effect of "exchange".

After all, simple addition and subtraction, if Garnett and Yao Ming are removed from their respective teams, the Celtics will still have an advantage in the lineup.

It's just that Rivers thought well, but the trend of the game was different from what he thought.

Relying on McGrady's outstanding performance on the outside, the Wizards took the initiative at the beginning of the game.

After all, Garnett and Yao Ming are more important in their respective teams than Garnett.

The Wizards did not have Yao Ming, and McGrady's main attack on Artest's main defense is still a powerful team;

But what the Celtics look like without Garnett has been known since the beginning of the season.

After halftime, the Wizards led 41 to 34.

From this score, you can more or less feel the intensity of this game.

"Looks like I'm going to win."

O'Neal said with a smile.

Although the bet itself is meaningless, it is still a very happy thing to win against Sun Hao once.

"It's only half time."

Sun Hao signaled O'Neill not to worry.

I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.

Sure enough, in the second half, especially in the fourth quarter, the Celtics showed their tenacity, like ants eating sugar cubes, bit by bit eroding the Wizards' lead.

Such a team is like Xiaoqiang who can't be beaten to death, and he can feel the suffocation through the screen.

And it can be seen from the game that after the baptism of the playoffs, the Celtics' defensive strength has improved a lot compared to the end of the season.

Especially Rondo, the long-armed monster's ability to assist in defense makes up for the Celtics' relatively weak perimeter defense.

This is already a near "perfect defense" team.
