NBA: Traditional basketball, you play 3-pointers

The Seattle SuperSonics, ranked second in the West with 23 wins and 6 losses, faced the Golden State Warriors, ranked first in the West with 25 wins and 2 losses.

After being defeated by the Warriors in the last game, the SuperSonics immediately started a small winning streak and chased the Warriors, who ranked first.

It can be seen that although the "Rain Man" Shawn Kemp was let go in vain in the summer, the team's foundation and team are still good.

This game can also be seen as a battle for the top spot between the two sides.

Now the two sides are only 3 wins apart. If they are not careful, they are likely to lose the first place in the West.

Don't forget, there is also the Los Angeles Lakers, who are currently third with 23 wins and 7 losses.

The Lakers, led by the star inside and outside combination of "Big Shark" Shaquille O'Neal + "Little Flying Man" Kobe Bryant, are chasing closely.

Shaquille O'Neal: 26+12+3+3 terrifying data!

Kobe can also cut 15+3+2 data!

The cooperation between the two is getting better and better!

At the same time!

We can't ignore the Utah Jazz, who are now ranked fourth with 19 wins and 11 losses and are eyeing the team.

With Karl Malone in better and better condition recently, he can average 27+9+6+1 per game! !

Behind!

The Jazz also ushered in a wave of 6 consecutive wins!

Advancing all the way!

Don't forget who is behind?

Never underestimate the heart of a champion - the Houston Rockets Big Three.

The combination of Charles Barkley + Hakeem Olajuwon + Clyde Drexler.

The San Antonio Spurs.

The super inside combination of "Admiral" David Robinson + "Stone Buddha" Tim Duncan.

There is also the lone wolf combination led by the young Timberwolves Big Three Kevin Garnett + Stephen Marbury + Tom Gugliotta.

Compared with the complicated situation in the West, the situation in the East is much simpler and clearer.

The first three teams are outstanding.

The Chicago Bulls, who have Michael Jordan, aiming to defend their title.

The latter are determined to dethrone Jordan, "No one deserves my respect, including Jordan"————Reggie Miller.

The Pacers, coached by Larry Bird, are determined to break Jordan's dominance! !

The Heat, led by "devil coach" Pat Riley, composed of Alonzo Mourning and Tim Hardaway!

After that are some upstarts or teams that are not threatening!

The Charlotte Hornets led by Glen Rice!

The New York Knicks led by Gorilla Ewing!

The New Jersey Nets led by Alien Sam Cassell!

The Cleveland Cavaliers led by Rain Man Shawn Kemp!

Steve Smith's Atlanta Hawks and so on!

In the East, except for the top three teams, which are very strong, it can be said that the strength of the teams behind is almost discontinuous!

It is similar to the current situation in the East where only the Celtics, 76ers, Pacers, and Bucks are strong, and the remaining teams are generally weak!

The West is a big fight, who is the soft persimmon from the first to the eighth place!

...

Back to Oracle Arena!

The players of both sides have come to the court to warm up!

"Fans of Oracle Arena!"

"Get ready to pray for your Su Fan!"

Gary Payton seemed to be in a good mood tonight. He came to the audience and challenged the fans on the scene: "The young king will be killed by me today!"

"I have thought of a gesture to say goodbye to you!"

After that!

As the king of trash talk in the league, Gary Payton also waved goodbye!

He completely regarded this place as his home court!

"Fuck! Go! Gary!!"

"Get out of Oakland!!"

"You are not welcome here!"

"Su will crush your little body!"

The Oakland fans at the scene responded enthusiastically to Payton's provocation.

Warriors side!

Su Fan, Big Ben, Bowen, Jackson and others naturally noticed the movement here.

"Boss, this kid, I think he is itchy again!" Bruce Bowen's eyes revealed a coldness.

"I will make him unable to get out of bed!" Ben Wallace said cruelly.

"I am his old friend, I must do it!" Stephen Jackson said hurriedly.

Su Fan just glanced at Payton coldly, but his little "elbow" was already thirsty.

...

Less than half an hour before the game started!

The starting lineups of both teams were shown on the big screen:

Golden State Warriors: Dell Curry (point guard), Bruce Bowen (shooting guard), Tracy McGrady (small forward), Sufan (power forward), Ben Wallace (center).

Seattle SuperSonics: Gary Payton (point guard)Guard), Jose Hawkins (shooting guard), Detlef Schrempf (small forward), Vin Baker (power forward), Jim McIlvaine (center).

The starting lineup of the Golden State Warriors also changed for the first time this season!

Eric Dampier, the "second center in the West", was arranged to the bench. The recent strong performance of Big Ben!

makes him more worthy of the position of the starting center!

With the "training" of Su Fan, Big Ben's skills have improved gratifyingly!

Big Ben's defense + Su Fan's sweep!

This configuration is amazing! !

At the same time, "Dallas 3J", "the initial version of the Thunder's three youngsters", and one of the protagonists of the "One Ji harming three sages" incident-Jim Jackson was arranged to the bench to increase the team's firepower on the bench!

With the combination of Su Fan + McGrady + Old Curry in the starting lineup, the offensive firepower has obviously overflowed!

Jim Jackson can also make up for the Warriors' current lack of firepower on the bench to the greatest extent!

At the same time, more ball possession is also beneficial to his performance!

This change is also a bold attempt by the management and even the team before the All-Stars!

Just to increase the upper limit of the lineup! !

Communicated with the players, Jim Jackson and Eric Dampier both said that the team atmosphere is very good now and they are willing to make this sacrifice for the development of the team!

After finishing the warm-up, the starting players of both sides came to the court and prepared to start the jump ball!

JUMP BALL!

"Snap!"

The referee threw the ball high in his hand!

Su Fan jumped up instantly and easily jumped the ball over the head of Seattle center Jim McIlvaine!

Maintained his law of never losing a jump ball!

"According to an unknown technical statistic: "Whenever Su Fan jumps to the ball, the Warriors have never lost the game that attacks first! "

Can this game maintain this rule?

It is also quite exciting!

The ESPN commentator Kevin Harlan also explained.

Warriors have the ball!

Tonight's game officially begins!!

McGrady pushes the ball across half court!!

Gary Payton sticks to McGrady in front of him, giving him enough defensive pressure!

As the only DPOY winner among guards, Gary Payton's defense is one of the best.

Being able to limit Jordan's score to less than 30 points in the finals is enough to show his defensive strength.

"Rookie, can you dribble?" Gary Payton looked at the young McGrady in front of him and instantly turned on the trash talk mode!

McGrady, who was sleepy, glanced at Payton in front of him and threw the ball directly into the sky!
