I am so Accurate

The fourth game of the series between the Mavericks and Warriors continued at Oracle Arena in Oakland.

The process and result of this game was something no one expected before the game.

The Warriors, who had played evenly with the Mavericks before, and fought to the end even if they lost the third game, played a rout-style game.

Except for Nash, everyone else's fighting spirit is extremely low.

As a result, the Warriors have been falling behind since the beginning, and finally lost to the Mavericks 88 to 120.

This result is unexpected, but reasonable.

The Warriors are not a team with spiritual attributes. On the contrary, their team culture in recent years is just one word, chaos.

Being able to make it to the playoffs, and playing like the Mavericks before, all depends on Nash and D'Antoni.

But it is obviously not enough to change the culture of a team, or it cannot be done all at once.

In history, the Warriors can have the later rise of the Splash Brothers. The person fans should thank most is not Cole, but Mark Jackson.

Not to say how strong Jackson's coaching ability is, but the cultural change he brought to the Warriors.

It took him a long time to reshape the concept of defense for the Warriors, that is, the new team culture.

Since then, the Warriors have balanced offense and defense and become a frequent visitor to the playoffs, and then waited until Cole took over to meet the small ball era to reach the top.

In fact, going further, D'Antoni was able to bring up the Suns team in history. In addition to his tactical system, another very important reason is that the Suns are a team with strong defensive strength. Team.

In addition to Nash, look at the configuration of that team, Bell, Marion, Joe Johnson, Quint Richardson, Kurt Thomas, Stoudemire...

None of them are weak defensively, even like Bell and Marion, they are both top-notch defensive standards in the league.

So it makes sense to look back at the Warriors' defeat.

With a team without defense at all, he is destined not to go far in the playoffs.

As strong as the Mavericks, the previous configuration was luxurious enough, but in the end it stopped in the Western Conference Finals.

After winning the fourth game, the Mavericks took a 3-1 lead on a big score.

Insert a sentence here, the NBA has been improving the rules in recent years.

Last season, a series of rules such as defensive three seconds and illegal defense were added. This season, the game mode of the first round of the playoffs was revised, changing from a 5-game 3-win system to a 7-game 4-win system.

As for the second round and subsequent games, it is still the same as before, with 4 wins in 7 games.

So after winning the fourth game, the big score became 3 to 1, instead of directly eliminating the Warriors.

But this score means that the Mavericks have already won the match point.

Just one more win would put them in the Western Conference semifinals for the third straight year.

At this time, Sun Hao is a lucky general.

Before he came, the Mavericks had not tasted the taste of the playoffs for ten consecutive years, but after he came, the team has entered the playoffs for three consecutive years.

And the results are getting better every year, and this year there is a good chance to hit the championship.

Game 5 of the series between the two sides returns to the National Airline Center in Dallas.

The home game is another match point game, and the attendance rate is full.

However, some die-hard Warriors fans also came to the scene, including Nash's fan.

They are obviously here to support the Warriors, hoping that the team can fight back.

After the two teams entered the field to warm up for a while, Sun Hao saw the cheers on the scene, and looked up only to find a figure on the large LED screen on the scene.

That was clearly "Little Melon" Anthony.

Anthony waved his hand when he saw the camera, very much like a gangster.

In fact, if you really want to talk about temperament, Anthony has already stood out from the crowd when he was still a rookie.

Not to mention anything else, if you ask people from the class of 2003 to stand together for a photo, the first thing you see is neither James nor Wade, it must be Anthony.

And just now, Anthony just led Syracuse University to score 37 points in the final, led the team to defeat the Trident University of Connecticut, and won the first NCAA championship trophy in school history. This resume has already beaten everyone in the same class. .

With his temperament and achievements, it is not surprising that he will be captured by photographers before the game.

However, when he saw Anthony, Sun Hao also saw the defender named Jerry.

That guy was also waving frantically, and even took out a sign that said "sun, go.champion!"

Well, this time without Sun Hao talking, Nash, who was also looking up, also discovered that Sun Hao also has his own fanatical fans.

Sun Hao waved his hand in response.

He responded to Jerry, but Anthony looked happy.

It was at this moment that he felt that Sun Hao was a very good basketball idol.

Sun Hao didn't know what Anthony was thinking. After waving his hand, he turned and looked at Nash in the opposite half.

Steve, I'm sorry, but your first year in the playoffs in Oakland ends here.

After the warm-up is over, the game will start soon.

The process of the game is exactly the same as on the field.

The Warriors didn't stage any back-to-back fights, and the Jedi counterattacked.

Xiang Yu's last stand in Chinese history has never been successfully imitated by future generations.

Because there are too many conditions required, and the Warriors obviously do not have this ability and quality.

In the end, reflected by the relaxed expressions of the fans, the Mavericks defeated the Warriors 114 to 97 at home, thereby eliminating their opponents with a big score of 4 to 1, and took the lead to advance to the Western Conference semifinals.

"Next year will be even better."

After the game, the two teams shook hands after the game, and Sun Hao reached out and touched Nash's head.

Nash averaged 24.6 points and 10.7 assists per game in this round of the series. Such a performance is worthy of the sentence "Warriors lost and Nash did not lose".

Because he had the "Touch Your Head" badge in his hand, Nash didn't feel uncomfortable at all, but he liked Sun Hao even more.

Yes, this is only his first year with the Warriors. The team will make some reinforcements in the summer, and next season will be even better.

"I'll watch you, take my share and fight for the championship!"

Nash then spoke.

Being eliminated by the Mavericks is equivalent to being eliminated by Sun Hao and Nowitzki. This result is better than others.

And just like he said, he can't win the championship, let Sun Hao take his share to win the championship.

This is Nash, full of love.

"Then you have to watch it."

Sun Hao said with firm eyes.

From the beginning of the season to now, he has too many reasons to win this championship.

...

After the Mavericks eliminated the Warriors, many series in the first round of the NBA have also come to an end.

On the eastern side, perhaps stimulated by Sun Hao's text messages, Jordan began to exert his strength in advance.

Originally, there was a gap between the strength of the Magic and the Wizards, and only relying on McGrady's heroic performance was the stalemate with the Wizards.

But after Jordan exerted his strength, the situation of the game completely changed.

The series scored 32 points in the fourth game and 39 points in the fifth game. Jordan didn't give the Magic a chance, and directly eliminated the Magic 4-1 to advance to the second round.

It wasn't until this time that the fans realized that Jordan was completely hiding his strength and biding his time from the beginning of this season, accumulating energy for the playoffs.

If this continues, the Wizards have a great chance of breaking through from the East.

And McGrady fell to the first round of the playoffs for three consecutive years. Well, he has faintly revealed his image as a "man in the first round of ten thousand years".

On the other side, the Celtics also eliminated the 76ers 4-2 and successfully reached the second round.

The Wizards and the Celtics, after last year, met again.

Jordan's injury last year made the Wizards finally suffer, and this year they have a chance to do it again.

The same goes for Pierce on the Celtics side. He was blasted by Jordan last year. If Jordan hadn't escaped with an injury, he might have been eliminated.

He also has the opportunity to prove himself again this year.

This group of duels in the East is full of highlights.

In the remaining two groups, the Nets eliminated the Pistons 4-2, and the Pacers eliminated the Hornets 4-1.

The two defensive teams will start a battle of attrition in the second round.

Look at the west side again.

After the Spurs and the Trail Blazers fought for 7 games, they eliminated their opponents 4-3 and advanced to the second round.

Although the Trail Blazers were exhausted in the tie-break and ended in a big defeat, the Spurs were also consumed a lot.

This is definitely great news for the Spurs' opponents, the Kings who eliminated the Jazz 4-1.

Defense against offense, the battle of contradictions was staged again in the Western Conference semifinals.

On the other side, after the Mavericks eliminated the Warriors, their potential opponents, the Lakers and Timberwolves.

After winning the second game before, the Timberwolves went all out and returned to the home court to beat the Lakers again, leading by a big score of 2 to 1.

Garnett has a good chance to really stand up for a while.

But the Lakers made the simplest adjustment in the following games, increasing the proportion of O'Neal's offense.

As a result, in the 4th, 5th, and 6th games of the series, O'Neal's data were 34 points and 23 rebounds, 27 points and 16 rebounds, and 31 points and 11 rebounds.

This game has become very easy.

The Lakers also went straight to three sets and eliminated the Timberwolves 4-2 to advance to the second round.

In this way, the two teams from last year's Western Conference finals met early in the Western Conference semifinals.

Although the Lakers seem to have weakened a bit, the last three games of the first round show that they have regained their playoff feel.

Moreover, at the beginning of the century, when the words Lakers and OK Zen Master appeared, no one could underestimate this opponent.

But for Sun Hao, this is the best result.

On the one hand, after being defeated by the Lakers last year, he shouted in his heart, "I don't want to lose again."

Now that the Lakers are back in front of him, he has the opportunity to prove this sentence and avenge last year.

On the other hand, he has hidden missions!

【Dynasty Terminator】!

Compared with the [God's Inheritance], which was still uncertain before, this is the truth that is right in front of us.

And the reward for this hidden mission is "shooting talent", the kind that directly increases his shooting ceiling, and it is also the most useful to him.

His desire to beat the Lakers is no less than to win the championship.

Of course, there is a two-day break between the first and second rounds.

At this time, the alliance carried out two relatively big things.

The first thing is that, as in previous years, the second batch of awards for the 2002~2003 season was announced at this time point.

Best Defensive Player, and Best Rookie.

Ben Wallace averaged 6.9 points, 15.4 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 3.2 blocks per game. He won nearly 50% of the votes, beating Artest and Garnett, and won the best defensive player award for the second consecutive year!

Although the Pistons' record is not as good as that of the same period in history, this does not prevent Big Ben from winning.

Because his strength on the defensive end is there, and the more he plays, the richer his playing experience, the higher his contribution on the defensive end.

"Rodman of the new century", this nickname has been hammered.

The suspense of the best defensive player is not big, the big one is the best rookie.

Before that, the three most vocal, the Suns' Stoudemire, the Heat's Caron Butler and... the Mavericks' Bodi Loga.

The final result came out, and the winner was...Bodi Loga!

He got 43% of the vote, 5% more than Stoudemire's 38%!

It's close!

However, considering Bodi Loga's role in the Mavericks and the record comparison between the Mavericks and the Suns.

Looking at it this way, Bodi Loga, the best rookie, is very reasonable.

This made Bodi Loga very happy. As soon as he heard the news, he said that he would treat the whole team to dinner.

Sun Hao's previous judgment was correct, the former Emperor Ou just liked to collect these honors.

But speaking of it, when fans evaluate stars in the future, they will often list personal honors.

From this point of view, Bodi Loga's preference will win him more fans in the future.

The second thing is that the NBA held the lottery ceremony for the 2003 draft at this time.

The 2002~2003 NBA season is actually very interesting.

In addition to the hegemony of the eastern and western teams, many teams are also fighting for 2003, the year of the draft.

All of this, in addition to the popular rookies such as Anthony and Bosh declaring their participation in the election, there is another very important reason.

James, after finishing his senior year of high school last season, has decided to skip college, that is, to participate in the election after the end of this season.

He'll be part of the Class of 2003!

The reason for this decision is that he has already accumulated enough strength and popularity, and the second is naturally to defeat Sun Hao as soon as possible.

He can't wait to get back his title of "Little Emperor".

After all, Sun Hao has not yet won the championship, so it will be much less difficult to define the word "defeat".

Among them, the two most fierce teams are the Cavaliers in the East and the Nuggets in the West.

Both teams have been rotten for a long time, and they can't wait for a "chosen son" to change the fate of the team.

In order to achieve this goal, the two sides are also frequent tricks, showing off a new realm.

For the Cavaliers, the boss directly instructed the head coach that we should lose more games. Even the head coach John Lucas, who was at the beginning of the season, didn't want to, so he was fired directly.

After taking office, Keith Smart came up with the mission of losing, and in the end he successfully helped the Cavaliers achieve a record of 17 wins and 65 losses.

Then, he followed suit.

This wave of operations is quite suffocating.

However, the Nuggets did not give up much. It is not uncommon to win three quarters and collapse in the last quarter.

But the fans watched it very excitedly, because they knew it was for next season!

Ever since, the final record of the Nuggets was exactly the same as that of the Cavaliers, 17 wins and 65 losses!

This also means that they have the same probability of getting the No. 1 lottery!

That's pretty cool.

Then, after the show was over, this year's draft lottery kicked off with unprecedented attention.
