Chapter 334 Easy to deal with, that's not O'Neill
In addition to the best team, there is also the best defensive team.
The best lineup, in a sense, should be called the best offensive lineup.
This is relative to the best defensive team.
This is also the huge controversy caused by Ben Wallace's consecutive selection of the best team.
After all, among a group of good offensive players, there was one who averaged less than double digits per game.
It's like a husky mixed in with wolves.
All-Defensive First Team: Jason Kidd, Wang Hao, Garnett, Duncan and Ben Wallace.
All-Defensive Second Team: Gary Payton, Doug Christie, Kobe Bryant, and PJ Brown and Mutombo.
And Duncan, Wang Hao, and Kidd have also become the only three players in the NBA to be selected for the double team at the same time this season.
This is why, this season's regular season MVP competition has always been concentrated on three people.
This can already be seen from the performance of the three of them.
One more thing, Duncan is really good.
Why was he the regular season MVP this season when he was in Yuanshikong?This is shown clearly.
This season, whether it is on the offensive or defensive end, it is the top performance in the NBA.
You know, talking about the lineup of the three teams, the Spurs are really just Duncan fighting alone.
There is no way, the current Admiral David Robinson is really going to die in the future.
It's a pity that no matter how good the realization is, in the playoffs, when facing O'Neal, there is nothing to do.
This is O'Neill's strength and his dominance.
Now, O'Neal has already sent away a first-team player, Wang Hao will be next, and after Wang Hao will be Kidd.
If Wang Hao can't solve the Lakers, then O'Neal is really going to be crowned as a first-team player.
O'Neill: I'm not double first, I specialize in double first.
In addition to the attention of countless eyes, there is actually another best team announced.
The list of the best rookie team has also been released.
It's just that, compared to the best team and the best defensive team, the level of the best rookie team is much lower.
Pau Gasol, Kirilenko, Shane Battier, and Tony Parker and Jason Richardson.
This is the first team of the NBA rookie team this season, and the second team of the rookie team.
Brandon Haywood, Richard Jefferson, Jamal Tinsley, and Joe Johnson and Eddie Griffin.
Unless you are a fan of the team, otherwise, these rookies are really unfamiliar to everyone.
After a short few days of adjustments, at the moment when everyone was looking forward to it, the Eastern and Western finals officially started.
The Eastern Conference finals started first.
The Celtics challenged the New Jersey Nets away. I have to say that this game was really exciting.
It's not that the strength of the two teams is beyond imagination, but that the styles of the two teams are very extreme.
For the Celtics, it was the ultimate star singles. Paul Pierce and Antoine Walker took turns to play singles.
In this game, the two made a total of 42 shots, more than half of the Celtics' shots.
There are many shots, but the two scored a lot, accounting for more than half of the team.
Paul Pierce and Antoine Walker both scored nearly 30 points.
The performance of the Nets is another extreme.
Kidd was the team's highest scorer. He made 10 of 4 shots and got 18 points.
It's just that 8 of the Nets scored in double figures, and Kidd's distribution of the ball is very reasonable.
In this game, Kidd scored 18 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists, a large triple-double performance.
Before a certain sewer player appeared, Kidd was the new representative of the NBA's triple-double.
His triple-double, that is a triple-double that can lead the team to win.
Unlike that one, who made triple-doubles at various extremes, the end result was that the team couldn't win.
I have to say, it's very interesting.
What's more, you can't talk about others casually. After all, even if the data is swiped, not everyone can swip it.
From the first quarter of the game, the Nets have firmly controlled the lead of the game.
In the fourth quarter, Paul Pierce and Antoine Walker jointly launched a counterattack, giving them hope for a while.
It's a pity that this ray of hope was finally extinguished by the Nets.
104:97
In the end, the Nets defended their first home court and temporarily led the Celtics with a score of 1:0.
May 5, Seattle, Key Arena.
In today's Supersonic home arena, it can be said that there are no empty seats, and countless fans flock here.
Not only that, just outside the arena, a large number of fans gathered spontaneously to cheer for the team.
In addition to ordinary fans, there are actually many celebrities.
Howard Schultz, the owner of the Sonics, is indispensable, and there are several celebrities in the political and business circles.
At first, Wang Hao thought it was Bill Gates, but in fact it wasn't.
As for other celebrities in the political and business circles, he is not familiar with them.
Of course, Wang Hao didn't have time to pay attention. At this time, he, including other people in Supersonic, was concentrating on it.
In three days, everything that should be prepared has been prepared, and the next step is to go all out to compete.
The Lakers are strong, but the Sonics aren't bad either.
"CCTV, CCTV..."
It is still a familiar voice, which has spread to audiences across the country through thousands of households.
At this moment, not only the fans, but even the Chinese national team gathered early in the morning.
Head coach Faye Wong is not in a hurry to arrange training, or in other words, watching game videos is also learning!
"Wang Hao, amazing! I watched him in the last round of the series, he was absolutely crazy!"
"That's right, the last game was a direct lore. In the last 2 minutes, I was very nervous watching it."
"Unfortunately, it would be great if I had the opportunity to watch the game live."
……
The more you know about the NBA, the more you can truly understand the power of the NBA.
As professional pros, they know it all too well.
Especially after Wang Zhizhi joined the NBA, now it is even difficult to get a contract.
You know, in the past few years, Wang Zhizhi has always been the core of the national team.
They were convinced and recognized Wang Zhizhi's strength.
Under the huge contrast, it was difficult for them to accept, and what was even more difficult to accept was Wang Hao's performance.
It was the MVP of the regular season again, it was a double team, and it led the team all the way.
Comparing it with Wang Zhizhi, the gap is too big!
It was at this time that everyone had a clearer understanding of Wang Hao's true strength.
In the last Asian Championships, they thought they had already understood Wang Hao's strength, but unexpectedly, they were still far behind.
At that time, they thought Wang Hao was very powerful, but they seemed to be able to understand how powerful he was.
However, the reality is that the so-called Asian Championships does not require him to display too much strength at all.
"Di!"
The referee's whistle sounded and the game began.
Facing the old comrade Ewing, O'Neal was unceremonious and directly grabbed the ball.
The Lakers took the lead in attacking, O'Neal and Robert Hawley partnered inside, Fox served as small forward, and Fisher and Kobe partnered back.
To be honest, this change caught the Sonics a little off guard.
Because in today's starting lineup, Michael Reid was taken off the starting lineup and replaced by Ewing.
Ewing and PJ Brown formed the inside line, Lewis served as the small forward, and Wang Hao and Gary Payton partnered in the backcourt.
This is a targeted change on both sides.
The Lakers used Robert Hawley to speed up and deal with the very fast offensive and defensive rhythm of the Supersonics.
The Supersonics replaced Ewing, naturally to resist O'Neal, at least not to allow O'Neal to wreak havoc at the basket.
In this way, the Sonics' lineup became a bit cumbersome, and the Lakers understood it better.
The game has already started, there is no need to think about these, just look at the effect.
Fisher pushed forward with the ball. Facing Wang Hao's defense, he was a little worried and quickly gave the ball to Kobe.
That's right, Wang Hao is still defending Fisher. As for Kobe, it is naturally handed over to Gary Payton.
Although I really want to come by myself, it's just that the words of the head coach are still in my ears, and Kobe doesn't dare to mess around.
He didn't delay, and he was going to hand the ball to O'Neal immediately, but Lewis had already consciously approached.
That's right, directly assisting in double-teaming, and not giving the chance to connect the ball, this is the supersonic tactic.
Kobe didn't dare to pass the ball in, and O'Neal had no choice but to immediately change positions and ask for the ball.
At this time, Kobe also immediately gave the ball to Fisher, and Fisher then gave the ball to O'Neal.
At the moment of passing the ball, Wang Hao's double team has also followed.
Faced with this situation, O'Neal did not hesitate. He did not choose to pass the ball, but chose to force it.
I saw him take a dribble, and then directly bumped into Ewing, still outside the three-second zone, and directly shot with a small hook.
Wang Hao's defense assistance is not too slow, but it is still too late.
This is O'Neal, as long as the ball is in his hands, he can easily create opportunities.
"Shh!"
0:2
At the beginning of the game, O'Neal showed a very good state, scoring in singles.
PJ Brown quickly served the bottom line, but the Lakers were also prepared and checked out quickly.
It can be said that it has become a habit of the Sonics to serve the bottom line quickly and look for opportunities to switch offense and defense.
If there is no opportunity, it is not advisable to send it quickly.
The Lakers are now able to retreat quickly, purely because they are focused and energetic as soon as the game starts.
But they can't keep such concentration all the time!
Waiting until the second half, until the fourth quarter, such a good habit of serving quickly can be reflected.
It was the Supersonics' turn to attack, and after Gary Payton dribbled the ball for half the court, he took the initiative to hand the ball to Wang Hao.
Since Gary Payton is the main defense against Kobe, he has to put more attention and physical fitness on defense.
After all, Gary Payton is almost 34 years old, no longer young, and has passed his prime.
Wang Hao didn't defend Kobe, but Kobe stared at Wang Hao.
He was also polite, beckoning PJ Brown directly to pick and roll, as to why not Ewing?
Even if Ewing comes out, it is impossible for O'Neal to come out, he will already shrink inside.
It is impossible to call O'Neal out of the inside line, and the inside line is still congested. In fact, the effect of the pick-and-roll is greatly reduced.
After all, the two insiders of the Sonics are not the insiders of the Kings. They both have the unique skills of high jumpers.
Wang Hao broke through directly, and the Lakers were ready.
Almost immediately, Kobe and Robert Hawley double-teamed Wang Hao, and they did not hesitate to let go of PJ Brown.
These two guys went straight to the attack, and their defensive strength was raised a lot, as if they were about to jump up and steal.
Wang Hao didn't dare to be careless, and quickly passed the ball.
However, it was PJ Brown who got the ball. Looking around, there was no one within three meters.
This is too bullying!
PJ Brown was furious. Instead of passing the ball, he chose to shoot. The result can be imagined.
"Bang!"
The shot went out of the box, and sure enough, sports don't believe in emotions.
It's useless for you to be angry, you still have to have the strength to put the ball into the basket.
As for saying that PJ Brown did something wrong and shouldn't make a move?
This is definitely not the case, this is not the last ball, it is just a mutual test at the beginning.
It can only be said that the cost of PJ Brown's attempt is not high, but once entered, the effect is quite good.
PJ Brown makes a goal from this position, which can make the Lakers dare not be so decisive when double-teaming Wang Hao.
If he can score two goals, then the tactics prepared by the Lakers will directly fall apart.
So far, it looks like the Lakers are betting right.
Going back to the offensive round of the Lakers, it is still the same routine as before, first find O'Neal.
The Supersonics naturally double-teamed resolutely, but this time, O'Neal gave the ball to Kobe.
Kobe received the ball and then broke through. Gary Payton was directly broken through because of the defense just now.
PJ Brown had to help defend, Kobe did not act recklessly, but chose to pass the ball.
Robert Hawley's mid-range shot from the bottom line made a solid hit.
0:4
At the beginning of the game, the Sonics seemed to be playing a bit unsmoothly.
Robert Hawley's goal seemed to be Kobe's assist, but it all started with O'Neal.
O'Neal beat Ewing hard, but Ewing couldn't handle it, and Gary Payton was forced to help defend.
This caused Gary Payton to be broken, so that PJ Brown had to help again, and Robert Hawley was completely missed.
In fact, it is not that there is no chance to prevent it.
If Ewing can move at this time, he actually has a chance to rotate to Robert Hawley.
Unfortunately, Ewing couldn't do it.
Of course, this is not Ewing's problem, even if it is, you can't say that.
At the age of 40, with a veteran's basic salary contract, you still ask for so much, isn't it a bit too much?
Seeing this scene, Paul Westphal already hesitated.
In fact, keeping Ewing, or even selecting Brandon Haywood in the draft.
His purpose is only one, and that is to deal with O'Neill.
A 40-year-old guy, a rookie, not saying let them alone against O'Neal.
Paul Westphal's request is also very simple, that is to resist O'Neill, and then others will double-team.
It's just that football, which looks simple, is not so easy to do now.
O'Neal is so easy to deal with, then it's not O'Neal.
Paul Westphal hesitated, is this set of tactics suitable?Do you want to change?
