I am so Accurate

Of course, players are not the only ones congratulating Sun Hao.

"The best in history, never stops!" -Anta.

Anta's congratulations came with an advertising slogan, and they also announced the news of launching a commemorative edition of sneakers below.

Not even counting these, Anta is also planning to make a new advertisement for Sun Hao. The content of the advertisement is about three consecutive MVPs.

Compared with Adidas, although there is still a gap in corporate strength, Anta's attention to Sun Hao is much higher.

After the MVP was settled, the conference finals that fans were looking forward to finally began.

The Eastern Conference game starts first.

The result of the game was also a bit unexpected.

With Paul's outstanding performance of 33 points and 13 assists, the Bulls defeated the Knicks 106-101 and won their first victory in the Eastern Conference Finals!

Remember this game was played at Madison Square Garden!

Paul's battle once again reminded people of another No. 3, which made his reputation skyrocket.

But this is actually not too surprising. Contrary to Harden next door, Paul is the kind of player who typically performs better in the playoffs than in the regular season.

The Eastern side had an upset from the beginning.

Then at the end of the Western Conference Finals, the Warriors defeated the Lakers 118-106 and won their first victory in the Western Conference Finals!

There are no "upsets" here in the West.

And it can be seen from the score that the Lakers failed to fight the Warriors until the last moment.

If you haven't watched the game, you will think this is a bit surprising.

After all, whether the Lakers faced the Thunder or the Spurs before, it can be said that they played very easily.

Even the Spurs couldn't defend their "new triangle tactic".

In contrast, the Warriors fought hard against the Mavericks for seven games before advancing to the Western Conference Finals.

However, fans who have watched the game know that the Lakers did not lose unfairly.

Sun Hao's performance in this game cannot be considered bad. He scored a game-high 37 points.

The Warriors used a lot of double-teaming on him, but most of the time it didn't work.

The real failure of the Lakers is that everyone except Sun Hao's performance was unsatisfactory.

This also includes Yao Ming.

Facts have proved that state is indeed something that needs competition to maintain.

In the first round, Yao Ming was in very good shape, and the Thunder's insiders were basically unable to fight back.

But when playing against the Spurs, Yao Ming basically didn't focus on the offense. Throughout the entire series, he had a lot of problems with his touch.

Of course, this is the reason for the Lakers.

It scored 106 points. It would be inappropriate to say how abnormally it performed.

The bigger reason actually comes from the Warriors.

In this game, the Warriors' two big men, Oden and Ibaka, were in excellent condition.

Let's talk about Oden first. He restricted Yao Ming on the defensive end much better than he did in the regular season.

This is actually a two-way problem. Yao Ming's abnormal performance is due to his own state, and it is also directly related to the opponent's defensive performance.

Then there's Ibaka.

Ibaka continued his excellent touch from the second half of the regular season to the conference finals.

He made 4 three-pointers from beyond the three-point line in the whole game! And the key is that he made 4 of 7 shots, with a shooting percentage of 57%!

This kind of feel, especially when the Warriors play a five-small lineup of death for the first time, even if Yao Ming doesn't come out, Millsap will be replaced.

But the great thing about Wuxiao is that as long as you guard against it, you will definitely miss people elsewhere easily.

This is the same as the Warriors being beaten inside and unable to perform offensively during the Christmas Day game.

After many encounters, it can be seen that the two teams, which represent the pinnacle of big ball and small ball, both restrain each other and have advantages over each other.

Whoever can bring out his own advantages can take the initiative in the game.

But what can be seen is that when the two systems collide, the performance of the inside will be very critical.

To be specific, it's Yao Ming on the Lakers' side, and Ibaka on the Warriors' side.

Of course, it is just more critical and can also be understood as the upper limit. It is the core of the two teams that determines the offline.

Without Sun Hao's 41 points, the Lakers would not have lost by only a dozen points.

In the same way, it is impossible for the Warriors to score close to 118 points just relying on Ibaka's four three-pointers.

Now we have to see whether the G2 situation will change.

After the G1 game, fans on social media showed two completely different voices.

One is to praise Paul, blowing Paul to the sky and standing shoulder to shoulder with Iverson.

The other type is criticism of Yao Ming.

During the season, they had a wave of discussions but Sun Hao pushed them back.

Just like the sentence in the cartoon "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World": The prejudice in people's hearts is like a big mountain, no matter how hard you try, you can't move it.

Those people have prejudices against Yao Ming. Now that Yao Ming's poor performance has caused the team to lose, they will naturally not let go of such an opportunity.

Although this time before Sun Hao could speak, many "new users" had appeared on social media to argue with them, and Yao Ming did not pay attention to social media, but the paper could not stop the fire, and there were still some voices that reached Yao Ming's ears. .

He was originally in a bad mood after losing, and these noises made him even more frustrated.

That kind of emotion can be felt during training sessions.

Sun Hao saw it, but didn't say anything. Yao Ming could adjust this kind of thing himself.

This is no longer the time when they first entered the league.

After a day off, the Eastern and Western conference finals continue.

The Knicks lost in the first game and were significantly more focused in the second game. They suppressed the Bulls at the beginning and once stretched the score to double digits.

But the Bulls are obviously not vegetarian either.

Paul showed great power in the first game, but in this game Yi Jianlian and Bosh began to show their strength.

And a very important point is that although there is a twin-tower lineup inside, the twin towers move fast enough and are not afraid of the Knicks' small-ball style.

This is also another key factor in their victory in G1 besides Paul.

The two teams battled fiercely until the fourth quarter.

Then, the final quarter became James' personal performance.

He went full throttle and continuously hit the inside to score.

The Bulls insider was a bit overwhelmed by the feeling of driving a tank on the road.

Just like the relationship between big ball and small ball in the Western Conference Finals, flexible insiders and traditional insiders have their own pros and cons.

Under normal circumstances, Yi Jianlian and Bosh have long arms on the defensive end, which is enough to deal with opponents' attacks on the inside.

But this season James has obviously gained weight in order to improve his dominance, and they can't stop him when he rushes forward.

In the last quarter, James relied on this rampant style of play, either scoring goals or drawing fouls, to score 20 points in a single quarter and help the Knicks win!

When James got old and couldn't make it, the fans couldn't help but sigh.

But when James was young, it was no joke to rush and fight.

At the moment the game ended, the entire arena rang out with the uniform shouts of New York fans.

"Little Emperor!"

This nickname was inherited from Sun Hao, and the fans cheered for him from the bottom of their hearts this night.

Like G1, social media was abuzz again after the game, but this time they were not for Paul but for James.

And this feeling of "you sing and then we come on stage" also makes the fans very happy.

Who doesn’t love a series where gods fight?

And this year, it’s not just the Eastern Conference Finals where the gods are fighting. The game has just ended, and fans can’t wait to turn their attention to the Western Conference.

The Knicks made a comeback in G2. Whether the Lakers can do the same thing in the Western Conference Finals is also worthy of attention.

Of course, most fans are actually relatively rational. After all, the Warriors are still a dynasty team, and it will be much more difficult for the Lakers to win back a victory than it is for the Knicks to beat the Bulls.

But the game hasn't started yet, so fans naturally have expectations.

A day later, the Oracle Arena was packed, and more than 100 kilometers away in Los Angeles, fans also poured into the Staples Center in large numbers.

Nowadays, this kind of live broadcast support in away stadiums has become normalized in high-profile games.

The arena is happy to make money. Although the ticket price will be lower than that of a normal game, it can save a lot of labor costs because it is not a normal game;

Fans watch football for the atmosphere, and are naturally willing to pay for it.

Including the home arena, some scenes from the away arena will be cut out and shown to the away team players in a timely manner.

So although it is not on-site cheering, it does create a very good model.

In the warm-up before the game, Curry hit a three-pointer in the tunnel. It can be seen that his condition and feel tonight are very good.

After the opening ceremony, the starting lineups of the two teams were announced one after another.

For the Warriors, Curry, Thompson, Durant, Ibaka, Oden.

For the Lakers, Sun Hao, Butler, Carter, Millsap, Yao Ming.

Harris changed the lineup and replaced Knight with Butler as the starter.

This lineup was also the starting lineup used by the Lakers in the previous Christmas game.

Yao Ming and Oden's jump ball at midfield.

Yao Ming's expression looked a little serious.

He was frustrated before, but his training intensity was no less intense, or even more intense.

He is holding back his energy because he wants to use practical actions to respond to the doubts about him from the outside world.

"beep!"

The referee on the sideline blew the whistle, and Yao Ming jumped up immediately to return the ball to half court.

Butler controlled the ball and the Lakers got the opportunity to attack first.

Sun Hao controlled the ball to the frontcourt and signaled Yao Ming to play a low triangle in the first round.

Sun Hao can feel Yao Ming's emotions, so he will definitely help Yao Ming find his state.

The ball was lobbed in, and the defensive method chosen by the Warriors was Oden's single defense.

Oden did well in the last game, and Nelson also gave him enough trust in this game.

Yao Ming held the ball with his back to Oden. After feeling the center of gravity, he walked towards the basket and was blocked by Oden. He turned around and hit the board with a hook.

"boom!"

The ball hit the board very well, and Yao Ming showed off his soft touch.

But it's a pity that the ball hit the basket at a bad point after hitting the board, and it bounced out.

Yao Ming wanted to grab an offensive rebound, but Oden blocked him at this time, and Ibaka retracted to collect the rebound.

The Lakers' first wave of offense came to nothing.

You can still see a lot of details from this round.

The first is Oden's defensive strategy. He knows Yao Ming's current state. To be more precise, it should be that his hand is not good, so he always drives Yao Ming away when defending.

The second is that Oden knows that he has no advantage in one-on-one rebounding against Yao Ming's height, so he is more stuck than grabbing, letting Ibaka collect the rebounds.

These two details show Oden's growth. After more game experience, this optimistic big man seems to have finally started to get on the right track in his career.

Yao Ming didn't pay much attention to the first ball.

After seeing the rebound being snatched, he turned around and ran towards the backcourt with his head down.

This wave of reaction was quick enough. The Warriors' fast break advanced to the frontcourt, and Yao Ming had already reached the three-point line, failing to form a direct scoring opportunity.

However, the Warriors quickly completed the offense. After a few drops from the outside, Curry took a shot one meter away from the three-point line.

This was actually reflected in the first game.

As a mad scientist, Nelson experienced a period of confusion after losing the Christmas War.

But he is by no means leaving the team's fate to Ibaka's touch. His tactical adjustment is to speed up the offensive rhythm.

As long as the rhythm becomes faster, Yao Ming will run back and forth more times on the court and consume a lot of physical energy. Even if he is in good condition, his damage to the Warriors' interior will be reduced.

"Uh-huh!"

Curry's three-point shot in the tunnel at the beginning of the game was not for nothing. He made it on his first shot after coming up!

Oracle Arena instantly burst into cheers.

The Warriors take the lead!

The Lakers attacked the frontcourt, Sun Hao continued to pass the ball in, and Yao Ming also continued to hit Oden with his back.

This time, Yao Ming turned around continuously and tried to squeeze into the basket to take a shot.

But Oden's body was indeed thick enough, and he didn't squeeze through.

Although the "Chamberlain-Galasel combination" during the draft was exaggerated, this body is indeed of a historical level.

Yao Ming finally chose to turn around and lean back towards the baseline.

This is one of his signature offensive methods, and he has scored hundreds if not thousands of goals.

"Dang!"

But this damn touch felt like it was cursed. It felt right, but the last shot hit the basket.

This time Oden protected the rebound by himself.

Yao Ming still ran back with his head lowered.

Although frustrated, he controlled his emotions well.

This also helped him. The Warriors rushed to the inside, and Yao Ming chased Curry's layup and blocked the ball.

It's just that Curry reacted quickly. After seeing the rebound, he turned around and scored the ball.

5 to 0.

The Warriors showed an extremely hot start.

This also made the Warriors fans at the scene extremely excited.

Because if they continue to play at this pace, the Warriors are likely to win two home games in a row.

With a big score of 2-0, they defeated the powerful enemy of the Lakers. They are only one step away from completing their fourth consecutive championship!

Sun Hao continued to pass the ball to Yao Ming.

Yao Ming's hook after another single.

Unfortunately, the ball still bounced out!

Fortunately, Yao Ming was mentally prepared this time and grabbed the position first to quickly tip in the basket.

The ball was made very accurately, but in the end the ball still bounced out of the frame!

Yao Ming finally tried to make up for the dunk through Oden, but Oden was not a vegetarian, so he was reluctant to make up for it, and the ball finally dunked away...

Seeing the ball finally popping out of bounds, Yao Ming couldn't control his emotions at this time, lowered his head and cursed.

This is really because I am angry with myself.

The game lasted about 5 minutes, and the score on the court was 6-14.

The Lakers are already nearly double-digit points behind the Warriors.

The rhythm of the game doesn't seem to have changed much from G1.

Yao Ming was called for his second foul of the quarter during a defensive play.

After being replaced, Yao Ming looked very frustrated. He picked up the towel handed by the staff and threw it to the ground, then lowered his head and gasped.

This startled everyone else.

Except for his remarks at the All-Star Game, Yao Ming has always seemed to be mild-tempered.

But perhaps it was because of those remarks that Yao Ming became angry with himself.

At this time, Durant was shooting free throws, and Sun Hao walked directly to Yao Ming, who was bowing his head, and patted him on the shoulder.

Yao Ming raised his head and their eyes met.

Sun Hao smiled and nodded.

There was no verbal exchange, but the two seemed to have completed their communication.

When he returned to the court, Sun Hao supported his knees with both hands, then raised his head and glanced at the score, with a trace of determination in his eyes.

The Lakers cannot afford to lose tonight's game.
