I am so Accurate

Amidst the cheers of San Antonio fans, G6 of the battle between horses and bulls officially started.

From the very beginning, the game showed a completely different rhythm from the last five games, no, to be precise.

First, Popovich put Jackson back in the starting lineup.

And the Spurs, like the Nets, started playing a very aggressive defense.

The disastrous defeat in the last game made Popovich realize one thing: playing against the Mavericks, the Spurs are much more likely to lose than win.

After all, attacking this thing is the housekeeping skill of the Mavericks!

It is pure luck to win a game with one's own shortcomings to defeat the enemy's strengths.

So in the end, the two sides will still fight the "contradictory" battle they have been fighting.

Moreover, it is not difficult to understand why Popovich realized this at this time.

Because in the East, the Nets rely on this method to gain an advantage over the Wizards who are stronger than themselves on paper.

So, this can even be understood as completely expected.

But the result of doing so is... the smell of gunpowder on the field is particularly strong.

David Stern is also here tonight.

Looking at the situation on the field, his brows were furrowed.

I'm afraid he didn't expect that the bull-horse battle was also moving closer to the game style of the Eastern Wizards and the Nets.

This also made him more determined to relax his defense appropriately in the future.

The game lasted half a quarter, and the score between the two sides was 10 to 8...

At this time, the hand-check rule has to be mentioned again.

The so-called hand-check, the standard definition is: When defending, the defensive player is allowed to touch the opponent's body with his hands to track the opponent's position.

That is what the fans have been saying, "You can put your hands on the offensive player's hands when defending".

Although the hand-check rule also stipulates that defensive players can only follow with their hands, they cannot exert force on their hands, nor are they allowed to obstruct the opponent's line of sight.

But in fact, this kind of thing is difficult to define.

Unless it is an obvious action, in the end it depends on the referee's whistle-blowing scale.

In the playoffs of this era, the whistleblowing scale...

Therefore, it is not surprising that the game will be finalized in the Eastern Conference.

In a wave of offense by the Mavericks, Nowitzki was knocked sideways by Bowen and fell to the ground.

Sun Hao was the first to rush up, and the others followed suit one after another.

The players on both sides confronted each other, and the atmosphere on the field was tense.

The game entered a technical timeout.

When the timeout came back, both Bowen and Bell were called a technical foul.

There was almost a fight between the two sides in the final stage of the last game, and the referee was already relatively tight on the scale of whistleblowing.

That is to say, when the technical timeout came back, sharp-eyed fans discovered that the Mavericks had replaced two starting insiders at once.

LaFrentz replaced Dampier, Barkley replaced Nowitzki!

Although Nowitzki still had the ball to be punished, Barkley had already walked to the technical table and waited.

"Here he comes! He comes!"

In the commentary booth, Kenny Smith almost jumped up from the commentary booth excitedly.

His former partner, the target of the commentary, and of course the former NBA 50 superstar, stepped on the stage of the NBA playoffs when he was 40 years old!

Many people may not know that Barkley is actually only 3 days younger than Jordan!

In the usual commentary booth, even though the team's image of laughing and joking is different, after he actually played, Barkley looked very serious.

"Relax, Charles, you're just here to fill up the crowd."

Kenny Smith joked after being excited.

Although the two are now one in the commentary booth and the other in the arena, the atmosphere of "resentment" cannot be missed.

"I think Charles playing will help the Mavericks."

Cole on the side expressed a different opinion.

"Come on, Steve, I know you have a good relationship, but this 40-year-old man can't fly anymore."

Kenny Smith continued.

"He will."

Cole didn't explain, just nodded.

Maybe it was for the effect of the show, or maybe the two really thought so.

Either way, the appetite of the viewers who watched the live broadcast in front of the TV was completely whetted.

Nowitzki made free throws first, fouled and technical fouled, and he scored 3 points in a row.

A penalty was made for a substitution, and Barkley officially played.

The Spurs have the ball, Duncan holds the ball at the free throw line, and Barkley is guarding him.

Barkley's defense is completely different from Dampier's. All kinds of active confrontation, the adrenaline surge of the people watching.

In fact, this is also the characteristic of playing in the last century.

Look at the Nets or the Spurs tonight are very aggressive defensively, but that's how the regular season was played in the last century.

Jordan was defeated in front of the Pistons many times before reaching the summit. It was not that his skills were not mature enough at that time, but that almost every time he was in hand-to-hand combat, he was also attacked by various criminals.

Learn about Jordan's rules.

"I have to say, Charles played hard."

In the stands, Kenny Smith continued to tease.

On the court, Duncan held the ball, and finally couldn't stand it and turned around and attacked by himself.

It's not that he hasn't played against Barkley in the two years since he first entered the league, and he is no stranger to Barkley.

He didn't fight hard, but moved directly to the basket with his feet, and then hooked at close range.

Barkley weighs 114 kilograms and has excellent confrontation, but he is only 1.98 meters tall after all, and he can't keep up with his feet when he gets old. When Duncan gets to the basket, he can't do much at all.

Duncan easily scored 2 points.

"...But it doesn't seem to have any effect."

In the commentary seat, Kenny Smith couldn't help shaking his head.

This sentence is both a joke and a pity.

Although they are against each other, in fact, he and Barkley have been friends for many years, and he still hopes that Barkley can play a little bit on the court.

But the facts have proved that it is better than Jordan's performance is so dismal at the age of 40, Barkley... it is better to be a handsome man quietly on the bench, and give the fans more room for yelling.

But the Mavericks bench, the old Nelson's expression has not changed much.

He never expected the 40-year-old Barkley to really guard the peak Duncan, and he would be a fool to think so.

What he wants is what Barkley does when he comes on the court, to pester Duncan and consume Duncan's energy.

This is the fundamental reason why he used Barkley instead of LaFrentz to defend Duncan after the inside rotation.

The Mavericks still didn't have a wave of offense in the frontcourt. The previous technical fouls didn't make them restrain, and they were still all kinds of aggressive defenses, even with a lot of small moves.

If Ferry or Bowen's injuries in the past two years may have been personal actions, then the defense in front of him must have been instructed by the coaching staff.

Looking back, the Spurs have no offense either.

Although Duncan was able to beat Barkley, he also found that it was a waste of energy to fight hard, and it was not worth the loss to keep playing like this.

Barkley's big, hard ass pressed against Duncan, protecting the defensive rebound.

When it comes to short insiders, the first impression of some fans watching the game late is the three-stage free throw Chuck Hayes, but Barkley is the most well-known representative.

With a height of 1.98 meters, he averaged 11.7 rebounds per game in his career. This is like playing 2K with a height plus a wrong insider.

"Nice job, Charles!"

Kenny Smith quickly revealed his true colors, cheering Barkley for a defensive rebound.

At least Barkley's technical statistics for the playoffs are now...

Offensive and defensive transitions, the Spurs' defensive style remains the same.

After Sun Hao received the ball, not only was he double-teamed, but Bo Wen even put his hand on him unscrupulously, and he was not given the chance to pass the ball.

And Bowen is obviously exerting force in his hands.

The referee did not blow his whistle.

Sun Haoqiang acted to create a little space for the ball.

The moment he was about to hit the ball, Bo Wen directly pulled Sun Hao's arm forcefully.

Sun Hao finally couldn't bear it any longer, and took the ball and pushed Bo Wen violently.

The action just now may have dislocated his shoulder directly!

It's not about playing ball, it's about fighting.

As Bowen was about to respond, Barkley suddenly appeared behind him and yanked.

Bowen was caught off guard and lost his center of gravity, and was thrown to the ground by Buckley.

Just when Bowen was full of anger and was about to see who was messing with him, he saw that Barkley had already walked up to him.

He... instinctively hesitated.

He entered the league not too late, and he is well aware of Barkley's notoriety.

"If you are using that kind of trick, I guarantee you will lie down and leave the arena tonight."

Barkley lowered his head with a ferocious expression on his face.

Maybe the fans are used to understanding the "big mouth" who loves to joke and talk in the commentary, and they have almost forgotten the villain Barkley in the player period.

But at this moment, Barkley helped Bowen recall.

Bowen looked at Barkley's eyes, and was sure that the latter was not threatening, but would really do that.

Because, that's what Barkley said.

Barkley never broke his word.

The conflict subsided, and Bowen was called for a foul.

Because he has been called a technical foul before, he has two fouls at the moment.

But Popovich didn't mean to replace him.

This also sends a signal that in order to win, the Spurs will still stick to this defensive strategy.

However, when the ball was sent from the sideline, Bo Wen didn't dare to fight again when defending Sun Hao.

He can still distinguish between playing and saving his life.

Faced with the double-teaming of Bowen and Jackson, Sun Hao retreated and made a difficult three-pointer.

"Shua!"

With a crisp sound, he hit a three-pointer against a double attack!

There was an uproar at the scene.

This ball reminded them of the Monkey King who shot through everything in the last game.

After Sun Hao scored, Barkley rushed to his side and yelled.

The double-team shot looks a bit like a mamba, but in Barkley's eyes, Sun Hao couldn't have made the right choice.

If you don't respond strongly to the opponent's malicious defense, you are a real softie.

Of course, everyone understands it differently, but at least in his Barkley's eyes.

Sun Hao, very much to his liking.

Duncan responded inside and gave the ball to Bowen in the bottom corner.

Bowen's three-point shot was a bit outrageous, and he made a direct shot.

There was an uproar at the scene.

Bowen's corner threes are one of his primary scoring tools.

This kind of non-stick ball is thrown, which shows that his mentality fluctuates greatly.

But this is unreasonable, because Bowen's psychological quality has always been stable.

However, there is a saying on the court that is good: Playing ball is afraid of encountering dirty ones, but dirty ones are afraid of horizontal ones.

This can be seen from the history of the confrontation between the Spurs and the Mavericks.

Ferry injured Nowitzki and was crippled by Sun Hao on the spot, and he never dared to do anything after that.

Bo Wen, a "professional foot stepper", tried to step on his feet and was cracked in his thumb by Sun Hao. He had no intention of stepping up against Sun Hao this season.

These are great examples.

Waiting until this time, when Bowen was forced to use small moves again at the request of the coaching staff, Barkley appeared, knocked him down and gave him a harsher sentence.

This wave, it's no wonder his mentality didn't fluctuate.

The rebound was picked up by LaFrentz, and the Mavericks made a counterattack. After receiving a long pass from Bodillo, Sun Hao rushed to the frontcourt and smashed the ball into the basket heavily with both hands.

After being made a small move by Bowen, he responded strongly by scoring 5 points in a row!

18 to 10!

Although there was only 1 rebound technically, after Barkley played, the Mavericks played an 8-2 offensive, widening the point difference to 8 points!

Facts have proved that Cole knows the ball better.

Placing Duncan, protecting defensive rebounds, and standing up for teammates, all of these are contributions!

And, that's not all.

The Spurs attacked in the frontcourt. Duncan stormed the basket and missed. He grabbed the offensive rebound and scored a second one-handed dunk!

Not only immovable like a mountain, but also aggressive like fire, this is the Stone Buddha!

There were loud cheers at the scene, and Duncan's ball brought the Spurs back to the momentum on the court.

Back on the defensive end, although Bowen didn't use small moves like before, the Spurs' defensive intensity is still very high.

Sun Hao and Nowitzki had no chance in consecutive misplaced singles attempts. In the end, Bodi Loga called Barkley to play a pick-and-roll, broke into the basket and hit the ground with a ghostly back.

The ball was sent to Barkley inside the free throw line, and there was no defense in front of his eyes.

Some people may have the impression that Barkley is just a traditional power forward who plays back and singles inside, but in fact his ability is more than that.

Barkley is nicknamed "Flying Pig". The source of this nickname is because he weighs 114 kilograms, but he is a super dunker who can take off anytime, anywhere.

This is a career highlight who is the complete opposite of Curry!

More than half of his highlights are dunks, which is an important reason why he was so popular when he played.

Of course, the 40-year-old Barkley is definitely not flying, and he looks a bit slow.

It was originally a complete chance ball, but when he took the ball and dribbled to the basket, Ferry on the weak side had already assisted in the defense.

Ferry is not good at blocking shots, and he reaches directly to pull Barkley and flips him back.

This is an obvious flagrant foul.

But what is unexpected is that Barkley... was not held back!

This insider, who is as tall as a swingman, is 40 years old. He was still in the commentary seat and Kenny Smith's fat man last year. He completed the shot with Ferry!

The ball was sent to the basket after hitting the board, and the referee's whistle also sounded.

2+1!

Barkley scored on his first shot in the playoffs, and it was 2+1!

Ferry looked at Barkley with fear in his eyes. At that moment just now, he felt Barkley's terrifying power.

If that power was concentrated in his fist, he would have to bid farewell to this wonderful world.

Fortunately, Barkley didn't seem to want to trouble him.

Maybe, in the eyes of Barkley, this is just an ordinary foul...

Adjust your breathing, and Barkley's penalty will also enter!

21 to 12!

The Mavericks opened the point difference to 9 points!

On the Mavericks' bench, Nelson Sr. had a smile on his face.

He didn't expect the 40-year-old Barkley to guard Duncan, let alone make any contribution on the offensive end.

But now Barkley has a surprise for him!

"Well, Charles, I know you're going to watch the replays afterward, you must have fooled everybody, that's not like a 40-year-old guy!"

Kenny Smith also expressed his amazement in his way in the commentary booth.

After the first quarter, the score of the two teams was 29 to 17.

The Mavericks ended the first quarter with a 12-point lead on the road.

Barkley was replaced after only playing 5 minutes, and he didn't even finish the first quarter. There were only 3 points and 1 rebound in statistics, but his effect on the Mavericks was obvious.

With Curry, another veteran of the Mavericks, he also made his own contribution.

No one in this team is here to play for the ring, but for the ring!

One word difference, two completely different meanings.

The game continued in the second quarter.

Although Ginobili was put on the bench, Barkley's outstanding performance won the rest time for Nowitzki. When the second quarter was connected to the bench, the old Nelson used Nowitzki extremely "luxuriously". Lead the team on the field.

The Spurs couldn't close the point difference.

Popovich sat on the bench, he neither lost his temper, nor did he try any tricks that must be defeated.

He now only has a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart.

He's tried everything he can think of, but the Spurs just can't seem to beat the Mavericks right now.

The configuration and strength of this Mavericks team are very close to those of the Lakers two years ago.

It is really difficult to rely on Duncan alone to lead a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals.

Even Popovich has this mentality, one can imagine what the Spurs players on and off the court think.

The most direct performance is that although the speed is not fast, the point difference on the field is still getting bigger.

After halftime, the Mavericks had a 56-41 lead over the Spurs by as much as 15 points.

The faces of the fans at the scene were full of anxiety, but they couldn't do anything.

The two sides entered the intermission.

"Charles, if we win the championship, I will definitely put the championship ring on you personally."

On the way back to the locker room, Sun Hao said to Barkley.

He knows how much Barkley can deter the Spurs players.

The momentum of the Spurs was very different before and after that.

"Then I have to let Kenny take a video, he must have hacked me a lot tonight."

Barkley still knows his partner well.

And he can foresee that Sun Hao will become a great star in the future, and this kind of picture will definitely become a classic image in the future, and there are many benefits to keeping it.

"No problem. If you want to write a book in the future, remember to write this paragraph. I won't charge you royalties."

Sun Hao's words made Barkley laugh out loud.

In the halftime leading by a big score, the whole team of the Mavericks showed a relaxed atmosphere.

Back in the second half, Duncan responded from the free throw line and gave the ball to Jackson in the corner. Jackson missed his shot.

When the Mavericks scored a goal, he turned around and sent another second pass, but Parker, who received the ball, still missed a three-pointer!

After the first half, and Popovich didn't say anything at halftime, the morale of the Spurs has reached a rock bottom.

but! Duncan still didn't give up!

After Parker missed a shot, he grabbed the offensive rebound directly over Dampier's head and made a tip-in!

He still remembers what David Robinson said in his heart, this will be the latter's last season.

Ever since, the second half of the game looked a little tragic.

Although the situation could not be reversed, Duncan never gave up.

Under his spiritual infection, the rest of the Spurs gradually regained their fighting spirit.

However, on the one hand, the point difference was stretched too much, and on the other hand, the performance of the Mavericks tonight was not bad at all.

The final whistle sounded, and the final score was fixed at 106-93.

The Mavericks defeated the Spurs by 13 points in the away game and won G6!

Although Sun Hao did not explode in the G6 game against the Spurs like last year, he "only scored" 26 points.

But the Mavericks still eliminated the Spurs with a total score of 4 to 2, taking the lead in approaching the finals of the 2002~2003 season!

This is also the first time in the history of the Mavericks!

Cuban, who came to the scene with the team, covered his face with his hands at the moment the game whistle sounded, crying with joy.

At this moment, all his dedication and efforts for the team are worth it!

They are now the Western Conference champions!

At the beginning of the new season next year, they will hoist the banner of the Western Conference Championship at the National Line Center Arena!

And, that's not all!

They now hope to hit the first championship trophy in team history!

After defeating the Lakers and Spurs in a row, they are now fearless!

The Mavericks players also celebrated on the field.

At this point, everyone in the team has put in their own efforts and made contributions one after another.

This is their well-deserved moment of celebration!

...

On the other side of the court, Duncan looked at David Robinson after he stepped off the court, his face full of self-blame.

In the end, he still failed to help David Robinson get another championship ring before retiring.

Seeing Duncan's expression, David Robinson reached out and hugged him.

"Enough is enough, what you have done is enough."

Although the team lost, Duncan played the whole game in such a fierce game, and finally scored 33 points, 20 rebounds and 6 blocks.

You couldn't ask for better from him.

"And, we've already won once."

Perhaps knowing that Duncan would care, Robinson continued.

In the 1998~1999 season, in the first year after Jordan retired, they had already won a championship.

It's better to win another championship, but it doesn't have to be won.

"They'll be champions."

Duncan finally turned his head to look at the Mavericks who were celebrating, and said.

Only the opponent is the person who knows the opponent best.

In his view, the Mavericks already have all the conditions to win the championship.

David Robinson nodded.

They are not the Kobe of the future, and there is no shame in losing to the final champion.

After the game, Sun Hao accepted the team's interview on the sidelines.

Most of the reporters asked questions about the game.

Among them, Barkley was mentioned naturally.

Barkley played 10 minutes in the game, with 5 points, 3 rebounds, 1 steal and 2 fouls.

"His role is not reflected in the data, just like the three-pointer that Dell Curry made."

Sun Hao made a metaphor.

To be honest, in the 0.4-second lore game of the old Curry, he even only had those 3 points.

But the same thing is that both veterans have brought great help to the team.

"And I think he's in better shape than Michael."

After answering the questions seriously, Sun Hao still did not forget to tease.

Reporter, um, this reporter is the reporter who interviewed Sun Hao before the match, and now he has a feeling of scalp numbness.

He didn't understand why Sun Hao suddenly wanted to madly diss old Jordan.

This, Jordan loves face very much!

However, Sun Hao still seems to have not noticed this as he did at the beginning.

This, he is hesitating whether to report the truth after the game.

In the end, after a complicated psychological struggle, the reporter decided to write what Sun Hao said.

After all, this is his professionalism.

"The Mavericks eliminated the Spurs and advanced to the finals first, creating team history."

This news not only caused heated discussions in the United States, but also caused a sensation in China.

Jordan didn't win his first championship trophy until the sixth year of his career, but now Sun Hao has a chance in the third year of his career.

Moreover, he participated in the draft at the age of 18, and he is only 21 now!

Moreover, he is completely different from the kind of thigh hugger, he is the thigh himself!

Especially in the Western Conference Finals, his performance was even better than Nowitzki!

Well, there is also the matter of his diss Jordan.

This is probably the first person in history to publicly diss Jordan during his player period, and it will probably be the last.

On the second day of the Mavericks' approach to the finals, at home in Washington's Verizon Center, the Wizards will usher in a tiebreaker against the Nets.

The Western Conference finals are over. If it wasn't too far away, Sun Hao would even fly to the scene to "cheer" for Jordan.

It's just that Jordan may not welcome him this time as before.

During the pre-match interview, the reporter inevitably mentioned Sun Hao.

After Sun Hao's remarks that "Michael was forced to play the tiebreaker" and "Charles performed better than Michael" were truthfully reported by reporters, the fans have completely put the person who was the top five shooting guards hand-picked by Jordan on Jordan's list. The opposite.

Of course, Jordan himself thought so too.

His emotional intelligence fluctuated, and he was at a low point right now.

He didn't understand why Sun Hao, whom he liked, would say such things about himself.

Those words made him very uncomfortable.

Especially when the reporter repeated it all over again.

"He'll soon know why people call Michael the God of Basketball."

Of course, if you are angry, you are angry, and you still have to pretend to be forced.

After Jordan said this, the reporter was also extremely excited.

Not only because this is Jordan's promise to help the team reach the finals, but also because of this kind of verbal war that started before they met, and the duel between the god of basketball and the hand-picked successor of the god of basketball...

If that can happen in the end, it will be full of highlights.

Of course, those are all things to come later, and now he, like everyone else, is looking forward to the tiebreaker in front of him.

Since ancient times, the tiebreaker has been more classic.

In fact, at the same time, in Dallas thousands of miles away, Old Nelson was also organizing his players to watch the live broadcast of the tiebreaker.

This is directly related to their opponents in the finals.

But their mentality is more relaxed.

"You really think Michael can't win?"

Before the game started, Nowitzki couldn't help turning his head and asking.

"No, the Wizards have a better chance of winning."

Sun Hao didn't mean to hide from Nowitzki.

"Then you still..."

Nowitzki didn't finish his sentence, but now the whole world knows that he is dissing Jordan.

"You know that Michael is good at everything, but his heart is not big enough."

Sun Hao went on to say that after getting along with Jordan for a long time, he still has deep feelings.

"So you said those words on purpose?"

Nowitzki realized that his dual quotient was still very high.

Sun Hao nodded with a smile.

It's just that, if you don't provoke Jordan like this, the Wizards might really be fucked.

After experiencing the help of [Basketball Talent] in the Spurs series, he now has a new understanding of hidden missions.

[Inheritance of God], it smells delicious!

So he didn't want to sit still any longer.

Take advantage of Jordan's weakness of "assisting power" and do it yourself to get enough food and clothing.

Nowitzki also nodded.

"But why do you want the Wizards to win?"

Nowitzki is really smart, he has already grasped another meaning from Sun Hao's answer.

Sun Hao didn't seem to expect Nowitzki to ask such a question, but his reaction was quick.

"After Game 6 against the Spurs, do you want to do it again?"

Sun Hao asked rhetorically, the Nets' defense was more aggressive than the Spurs' in Game 6.

Nowitzki shook his head after listening.

He prefers the competition of basketball skills, rather than hand-to-hand combat like past games.

Playing like that is not as refreshing as going to a real boxing match.

"Isn't that all right?"

Sun Hao said with a smile, his face didn't blush and his heart skipped a beat when he said it.

Nowitzki also nodded belatedly.

What Sun Hao said makes sense.

When the two chatted here, the tiebreaker between the Wizards and the Nets had already begun.

The Nets turned their backs and took the initiative from the very beginning.

Sun Hao's previous judgment was correct, and Yao Ming obviously didn't feel as good as he played this time.

The rest of the Wizards couldn't score in the same defensive style as before.

After the first quarter, the score was 13-22.

The pace of the game was no different than a game the Wizards lost.

Even after halftime, the Wizards were already 15 points behind 37 to 52.

Jordan only scored 8 points in the half and didn't perform much.

Such a scene once made Sun Hao feel that maybe Jordan is really old.

It is even completely understandable, after all, this has reached the conference finals. Jordan's age has the greatest impact on his physical fitness, and he can no longer hold on.

but!

Just when Sun Hao also started to think so, Jordan finally exploded in the second half.

He started to frantically start his personal attack mode.

He scored 25 points in the entire second half!

In it, it also includes an iconic backward lore against Jefferson before the finale!

His lore in the All-Star Game was ruined by Kobe, but on the stage of the Eastern Conference Finals, he succeeded!

It wasn't until this time that Sun Hao realized that the reason why Jordan didn't play much in the first half was that he knew that his physical fitness was limited, so he was assigned to the second half!

A thrilling reversal, Jordan finally fulfilled his promise!

What he has to do next is to tell Sun Hao on the stage of the finals why Michael is called the God of Basketball!
