I'm really good at shooting.

Like the Clippers they are playing against now, this Celtics team is also a very mature team.
Unexpectedly, Sun Hao took the video of two games and studied it. After the research, he found that he might have underestimated the Bulls.
All in all, the five starters of the Bulls have played together for three or four consecutive seasons.
That's a rarity in the NBA, especially since they've been kept out of the Eastern Conference Finals every year.
To make an analogy, this team is very similar to the Mavericks in the 10-11 season in history.
The Mavericks played together for three or four consecutive seasons before that successful season, and they also failed to produce results year after year.
Then it's like practicing silently, once you succeed, it will be earth-shattering.
Even more similarly, Paul's fiery state in the playoffs so far can be compared with Nowitzki that year;
In terms of the second master, Yi Jianlian also gave Paul enough help;
Other role players, Hamilton, Stojakovic, including Russell Butler off the bench, Salmons, Darren Collison...
This Bulls team is closer to success than most people think.
Two days later, the second game of the Western Conference finals between the Warriors and the Clippers continued.
The direction of this game is very different from the first game, but it is very similar to what some fans expected.
Without Bynum, the Clippers' defensive strength has declined, but relying on offense, the Clippers are not at a disadvantage in the starting period.
Even because of Kobe's brave state, the Clippers led by some points.
However, when entering the transition stage of the bench, the problems of the Clippers also began to appear.
They really can't do without Odom on the bench...
On the Warriors side, there is McGrady/Curry in the backcourt and Landry in the frontcourt.
The bench strength of these two sides is not at the same level anymore.
As a result, with only one substitute at this stage, the Warriors tied the score and overtook it.
Old Dunleavy blew his beard and stared angrily, but he was helpless.
Bynum's reimbursement for the season is already an established fact, and you can't expect someone on the Clippers' bench to replace him.
This eventually became a key factor in determining the outcome of the game.
The Warriors beat the Clippers 108-96 at home, and also led 2-0 on a big score.
Kobe Bryant scored 43 points and almost played the whole game, but he was also powerless.
For the Warriors, Sun Hao "only" scored 27 points, but sent 15 assists.
The Clippers have a lot of defense against him tonight, and he just took advantage of this to frequently send assists to his teammates.
Among them, Durant benefited the most. He scored a career-high 41 points in the playoffs.
Warriors fans can be regarded as happy now.
First, Sun Hao broke a historical record, and then Durant immediately followed up and broke his own scoring record in a single game.
Coupled with the big score of 2 to 0 lead, this is a cool rhythm of flying.
After the game, Sun Hao and Durant attended with the head coach Nelson.
At the beginning, most of the questions at the press conference were about Durant's record breaking, but soon, some reporters mentioned Bynum's problem.
"Kevin, do you think Andrew's injury has changed the balance of strength between the two teams?"
An obviously digging question, and the object of the question is Durant.
Durant frowned after hearing the question, but before he got angry, Sun Hao had already moved the microphone to his face.
"Injuries are part of the game. As a player, no one can control it. You can only accept it and adjust."
Sun Hao gave a textbook answer, and he didn't stop talking.
"When I was still playing in Los Angeles, Shaq, including myself, had injuries. We all adjusted and then completed the dynasty."
That said, it is very domineering.
Because if the translation is more straightforward, it’s not that I haven’t experienced this kind of thing, so stop beeping and making excuses.
You must know that when the Lakers completed their three consecutive championships, they were affected by injuries, but they still won in the end.
No one stipulates that it must be his team, not the opponent's team, who suffers an injury!
And speaking of it, he has been playing for so many years, and this is the first time his opponent has been injured.
Changing to this feng shui treasure in the Bay Area can be regarded as a change of fate.
And when it comes to Bynum's injury, it's not an exaggeration to say that it was self-inflicted.
Because if Oden was slower, he might have been directly overturned to the ground by Bynum just like Barea in history.
It is very likely that Oden will be reimbursed for the season at this moment.
In fact, what many people haven't noticed is that how to avoid injuries when playing in the NBA is also a science worth studying.
Leading 2-0 with a big score, the Warriors are in great form.
Of course, the strength of the Clippers lies here. Even without Bynum, they are still a team with the strength to compete for the championship.
Back at the Staples Center, Dunleavy Sr. made adjustments, mentioning Anderson to the starting lineup and letting Odom continue to play as the sixth man on the bench.
Although Anderson is actually just a fake starter and doesn't play too much time, such adjustments are very targeted.
In addition to the general feel of the Warriors in this game, the Clippers pulled back a victory 97 to 91 at home.
After the game, many Clippers fans shouted on social media that the Clippers would reverse the situation.
"Sun's words are provocative. Even without Andrew, the Clippers are a better team."
Such remarks have also resonated with many Clippers fans.
However, the reality is that in the fourth game, the Warriors regained their touch and captured the Staples Center 113-106, rewriting the big score to 3-1.
Durant continued his fiery performance and scored 35 points again.
Sun Hao restrained too much defensive attention of the Clippers, and Durant played with unprecedented ease.
And last season, the fans were in yy's Sun Hao Durant pick and roll, and they appeared more in the game.
The latest version of "Two Poisons to Choose One Poison" has appeared.
In Game 5, the Clippers tried their best, and Kobe suffered from leg cramps. They managed to comeback in Oakland 104-101.
But in G6, they obviously had a feeling of kidney overdraft, and the Warriors ruined the game in three quarters.
4:2.
Bynum's injury set the tone of the Western Conference Finals early. Although there were suspense in the entire series, the final result was expected.
The Warriors finally took a step forward on the basis of last year's Western Conference Finals, reaching the finals again after more than 30 years!
Their opponent is the Celtics...
Eastern Conference Finals opponent Bulls.
Sun Hao, for the first time, played against Yi Jianlian on the highest stage of the NBA!
Chapter 632 History is always strikingly similar
The Bulls' trip to the Eastern Conference Finals was not as smooth as expected.
After they took a 2-0 lead with a big score, they were quickly counterattacked by the Celtics.
As Sun Hao said, this Celtics team is very mature and as resilient as previous seasons.
They returned to the home court and scored two consecutive games, tying the big score to a 2-2 tie.
The two sides entered G5 Tianwangshan.
The key Tianwangshan, the person who stands up...is still Paul!
He played god-level data in the battle of Tianwangshan, scoring a large double-double of 30 points and 16 assists, helping the Bulls win a thrilling victory.
But the price is that his knee is injured.
Although not as serious as the same period in history, it is not light.
It is generally believed that Paul will miss G6, and then wait until G7 before returning to play the tiebreaker with the Celtics.
After all, G6 is played in Boston, which is a better choice no matter in terms of injuries or strategic considerations.
But to everyone's surprise, Paul chose to play in G6!
His knees were wrapped in thick knee pads, which looked incredible.
Not to mention anything else, the thickness of the knee pads is a visible burden for Paul, who focuses on breakthroughs.
The fact is indeed the case. What fans saw in this game was not the familiar flying Paul, but the Paul who devoted more energy to the organization.
And it can be fully felt during the game that Paul's battle with injuries has greatly added to the morale of the Bulls.
That's exactly the same as adding a buff to the game, with 120% performance per person.
Among this group of people, Yi Jianlian has no intention of being the best performer.
He made 21 of 12 shots, scored 31 points and 10 rebounds, and blew up Garnett, his template on the opposite side.
Correspondingly, Paul scored an alternative large double-double with 12 points and 20 assists in the game.
Facts have proved that a good traditional point guard's addition to the players in the team is huge.
Paul, who is dedicated to organization, has historical capabilities in this area.
And it's not just the team's dual core, the performance of the role players is also remarkable.
In the end, the Bulls also defeated the Celtics 103 to 96 in the away game, and advanced to the finals with a big score of 4 to 2.
After the game, Paul limped to the bench and sat down after the game, touched his knee, and wept uncontrollably.
Because of the Wizards, Celtics, Magic and other teams, although the Bulls have strength, they have never been favored.
But this year, they also stood out among the Eastern Conference teams even though they were not favored!
Facts have proved that it is worthwhile for him to insist on playing Game 6 in spite of everyone's opposition.
Because although the tiebreaker is at the Bulls' home court, the Bulls who lost in G6 have completely different morale from the current Bulls.
Moreover, the Celtics are characterized by resilience and durability. If they really hit the tiebreaker, the Celtics will have a greater psychological advantage than the Bulls.
While he was crying, Yi Jianlian came over and patted his shoulder, and then used his body to help him block the lens of the camera.
This is to protect him from unnecessary negative influence.
Although Paul is the head star of the Bulls in terms of team status, as far as Yi Jianlian is concerned, this is already his seventh season with the Bulls.
After clearing up his emotions, Paul was pulled up from the bench by Yi Jianlian, and then waved to the audience with red eyes.
At this moment, for the first time since Jordan retired from the United Center, the cry of "MVP" sounded.
Especially when the camera showed the number "3" behind Paul, this scene gave people a feeling of deja vu.
Nine years ago, another No. 3 also did such a thing.
At this moment, the two figures overlap.
And what's interesting is that these two No. 3s both led the team to do this in the fifth year of their careers.
The history is surprisingly similar, and there is God's will in the dark.
At the press conference after the game, Paul and Yi Jianlian attended together.
"Chris, is your idol an AI?"
At the beginning of the press conference, some reporters raised such questions.
Because they are too similar, it is difficult not to associate them.
"Yes, I grew up watching AI play. I chose this number (No. 3), and my desire for victory was all influenced by AI."
Paul's answer blew up the reporter group.
The feeling that the guess has been confirmed makes people uncontrollably excited.
