I am so Accurate

Chapter 287 The Burning Flames of Revenge! (Open and open! Ask for a monthly pass!)

National Airline Center Arena, visiting team locker room.

Fisher was pulling Kobe to say something.

This season, Kobe began to "grab the class and seize power" in the true sense. The number of shots skyrocketed, and the desire in his heart became even more inflated after the tree in his heart grew up.

Maybe outsiders don't know, but everyone in the Lakers knows that the conflict between Kobe and O'Neal has reached a completely irreconcilable level.

This is also the root cause of the huge ups and downs of the Lakers' record.

What the outside world doesn't know is that in the first round of the series, Kobe was finally willing to give up the right to shoot, or Fisher's credit.

Now this Lakers team, Phil Jackson has lost the binding force on Kobe, but only the No. 24 pick who entered the league with Kobe, his words still work.

"Shaq is getting old, but you have to let people see him get old, so you have to make him attack more."

"You just need to take those key shots. The reason why Michael is called great is not because of how many points he scored, but the key shots he made, the shots of the century."

"Let Shaq dominate the regular time, you dominate the game, and that will prove that you are the real king of Los Angeles."

...

The reason why Kobe was able to listen to Fisher was that apart from their personal relationship, Fisher was very pleasant to talk to.

To put it bluntly, it is called flattery, but to put it better is to do what one likes.

Either way, it works.

Just like what Fisher and Kobe said at this moment.

"The series has just begun. Fans don't remember who played well or badly at the beginning. They only pay attention to the key battles, so let Shaq attack first."

Kobe nodded.

Don't think Kobe is stupid, his character is doomed that he likes to hear such words.

Even if the same thing is said to him in another way, the result will be different.

...

Home team locker room.

The preparation atmosphere of the Mavericks players is relatively relaxed, and everyone is eager to try.

This is their real battle of revenge.

Last season, they fought so hard and were eliminated in the tiebreaker, which is a personal regret.

Now that the opportunity for revenge is close at hand, the kind that makes people want to shake their legs.

However, there are also special ones.

Dampier, I don't know if he didn't perform well in the first round, he seemed a little absent-minded.

Sun Hao saw it, and when everyone else went to the arena one after another, he held Dampier.

"You were traded for Steve in the summer. If you are easily defeated by Shaq, everyone will feel that it is your responsibility."

Sun Hao's words were more direct and harsher.

Dampier was taken aback after hearing this.

It doesn't sound good, but it is realistic. If he loses to the Lakers, he will definitely become the target of public criticism.

"Also, Eric, you have to remember, there are so many players, and we want you even at the cost of Steve, because we think you are the only one who can compete with Shaq."

What? You think I'm the only one who can take on Shaq, the big shark? !

Yes, that's me!

Otherwise, you wouldn't be willing to trade Nash!

What Sun Hao said later made Dampier feel that his self-confidence was extremely inflated.

Well, Sun Hao slapped him to wake him up first, and then gave him a big white rabbit toffee.

Sun Hao's speaking skills are also very high, he knows that Dampier is the kind of person with strong vanity.

Seeing the fighting spirit on Dampier's face, Sun Hao knew that his words had worked.

...

The National Airline Center Arena was full of seats, a sea of ​​blue.

Cuban still stood behind the bench in his blue T-shirt.

The difference is that this time he is not accompanied by a young girl, but his lovely wife Tiffany Stewart.

The two just completed their wedding on the island of Barbados last year. The wedding was very simple and low-key.

This is also their first public appearance on the court.

It can be seen from this that Cuban attaches great importance to this game.

Challenging at home may even beat the Lakers who have just completed their dynasty.

For an avid basketball fan like him, what an exciting thing to think about.

In the front row, Scarlett's figure was also captured by photographers.

When the live footage was shown, there was a burst of cheers and whistles at the scene.

Scarlett has appeared in the National Airline Center Arena countless times, and fans have almost regarded her as part of the game.

In addition to them, there was another person on the scene who also attracted special attention.

LeBron James.

James came to watch Sun Hao play again.

And this time his seat is relatively forward.

There have been news reports before that James has started negotiating with Nike.

There are even rumors that the value of the contract signed by the two parties may reach an astronomical figure of 90 million in seven years.

In the 2002-2003 season, the salary cap of the NBA was 40.27 million, and the maximum starting salary for players who played for 0-6 years was 10.06 million.

In other words, the average salary of this contract given by Nike is greater than the maximum salary contract in the NBA, and it is given for 7 years.

The only sign of doing so is that they have to treat James as the face of the next ten years or even longer.

It sounds crazy.

But if you look at the history of competition between Nike and Adidas sneakers in the NBA, it is not surprising.

In the earliest days of the NBA, the main brands of sneakers endorsed by the league were Converse and Adidas, and there was nothing like Nike.

And at that time, the endorsement contract was basically $100,000 a year, which accounted for a very small part of the player's income.

Until, uh, the coolest guy ever, Michael Jordan Again.

The appearance of Jordan completely changed this situation. After asking Adidas for a 500,000-year endorsement contract and being rejected, Nike took the opportunity to win it and created the current top brand of personal basketball shoes, AJ.

After that, Jordan ruled the basketball court, and Nike ruled the sneaker market.

Until Jordan retired, the situation began to gradually change.

Adi began to put his energy into the younger generation of the league, and then waited until they played, McGrady, Kobe, Garnett...including Sun Hao.

In the current NBA sneaker market, even though Jordan's influence is still there, Adidas has actually taken advantage.

Especially with the advent of the "AdidasSH95" classic sneakers, Adidas has the absolute upper hand.

So, patiently imitating Adi's original example, he began to invest in young people.

James is the main target.

This chosen son with "chosen.1" printed on his back will be their top card against Sun Hao and Adidas in the future.

So looking at it this way, the contract they signed with James is not so strange.

Well, all in all, James certainly has no shortage of money in his pocket right now.

When the camera was shown to James, there was also a burst of cheers at the scene.

The league has just announced the results of the lottery draft, and the 2003 rookie class is now the most attention-grabbing time.

James is also a hot candidate to compete with Anthony for the No. 1 pick, so it's hard not to attract attention.

Of course, there is another point, this is not the first time James has come to Dallas to watch the game.

The last time he appeared on the scene was also against the Lakers. At that time, he said that he did not come to see OK, but to watch Sun Hao play.

In other words, James is a fan of Sun Hao in private.

Here to support Sun Hao on the spot, that is, to support the Mavericks, the fans of the Mavericks must be happy too.

Sun Hao went to the sidelines to chat with Scarlett, and then met James.

I'll take care of your Taco tonight!

After the opening ceremony, the two teams started to play one after another.

For the Mavericks, Sun Hao and Bell on the outside, Bodi Loga and Nowitzki on the striker, and Dampier at the center.

On the Lakers side, Fisher and Kobe on the outside, Devin George and Robert Horry on the front, and O'Neal at the center.

It has to be added here that due to poor performance, the team's starting power forward Samaki Walker for most of last season and most of this season has been abandoned by Phil Jackson, and veteran Horry has taken on more important responsibilities.

But what is more worth mentioning is that Horry, who has always been known for his accurate outside shooting and space power forward shooting, only made 28.8% of his shots from outside the three-point line in the regular season.

In the playoffs, well, that number became 5.3 percent, 3.2 shots per game, 0.2 field goals per game...

With O'Neal in the paint, he had to take more outside shots, but he just couldn't make them.

In addition to the conflict between Kobe and O'Neal for the Lakers this season, another more important reason is the poor state of the role players.

Except for Fisher and Fox who still maintain a high level, the others are really competing.

This kind of performance even made O'Neal couldn't help complaining in the middle of the season: Find me ten teammates who want to win!

The reason why the performance is so bad, on the one hand, is the change in the player's mentality after the three consecutive championships, and on the other hand, it is Kobe's crazy shots.

Anyone who has played ball knows that if the core of the team keeps not passing the ball, it will be difficult for teammates to be in good condition.

In addition, Fox, one of the two people who performed well, fought until he was reimbursed for the injured season in the crucial fourth game of the comeback of the Timberwolves in the first round.

For the Mavericks, this year is their chance for revenge, and their best chance for revenge.

Before the game started, the Mavericks players appeared on the field.

Sun Hao turned his head and glanced, and felt the flame in the eyes of his teammates, including Dampier.

Burning fire of vengeance!

bring it on!

"beep!"

With the whistle of the game and the cheers of the fans, Dampier took the lead and threw the ball back to the Mavericks' half.

Bodi Loga caught the ball quickly with quick eyes and hands, and then gave it to Sun Hao.

The Mavericks, got the chance to attack first!

"Come on! Mavericks!"

The enthusiasm of the fans was high, and they couldn't wait to cheer for the home team as soon as the game started.

After Sun Hao signaled to pull away from the frontcourt, he then signaled Nowitzki to mention the pick-and-roll from the three-point line.

There is a saying that old couples know what to do after they pat their butts.

The Mavericks have not played fewer games with the Lakers in the past two years, especially last year's playoffs played seven games, and they already know each other's roots.

The Lakers know the Mavericks' weaknesses, and the Mavericks naturally know the Lakers' weaknesses.

After O'Neal gained weight, his inside deterrence was stronger, but the problems that followed were the same as those after Yao Ming gained weight, and he couldn't prevent it.

This makes the Lakers' perimeter and even mid-range defense can only rely on other players.

This is a point that has already appeared last season.

Of course, there is another point, which is the poor state of the Lakers' role players.

In fact, before the end of the season, experts have already analyzed these.

Mid-range jumpers from guards and centers near the free throw line after pick-and-rolls, and avoiding Kobe and O'Neal, grabbing other role players to play, is the best mode to beat the Lakers now.

Why do experts study this? Because the Lakers are the public enemy!

Sun Hao naturally knew this too, so as soon as he came up, he avoided O'Neal and grabbed the role player with the worst state of the Lakers.

Well, the best jigsaw puzzle of the championship in history, this season's jigsaw puzzle Robert Horry.

With one pick and one roll, the pick-and-roll cooperation between Sun Hao and Nowitzki has become more and more proficient.

The Lakers' choice in the face of the pick-and-roll is to switch directly.

Phil Jackson also predicted this and loudly reminded Horry to expand.

However, Sun Hao dribbled a step out after dismantling it, followed by a beautiful lob.

When the [Five Shooting Guards] hidden mission was triggered before, Sun Hao was still complaining about the system disorder.

But at this moment, he has begun to smell really good.

With the addition of "Master of Pick-and-Roll Tactics", the ball was steadily delivered to Nowitzki.

You think I'm going to hit Horry? Actually I'm going to play Dirk Nowitzki!

Nowitzki took a mid-range shot against Fisher, who was at least a head shorter than him.

He didn't feel any trace of defensive interference.

"Shua!"

There was a silky arc, and the ball didn't even touch the rim.

Dove slapped her thigh fiercely again, saying that she had found the endorsement duo.

In fact, Nowitzki's state this year, including entering the playoffs, has not been bad.

When playing against the Warriors, it was because Sun Hao had a higher success rate against Nash that he gave up the shot.

But in fact, his condition has been good!

Mavericks, come out on top!

At the scene, the cheers continued!

Although it was just one offense, the Mavericks played fluidly and on purpose.

Now who dares to say that the Mavericks can't play positions? !

His head was smashed!

The Lakers advanced to halftime, and Fisher signaled O'Neal to take a position.

O'Neill...it's tough.

Dampier did not ask for the position right away, but fought with him in various ways.

Trying to move forward, body confrontation, and small movements, O'Neal couldn't get into position comfortably.

In fact, although Dampier's performance in the first round was average, his season performance was still very good.

Especially because Cuban is full of pride and has assigned a special training coach to everyone.

Dampier's match is naturally in terms of strength and confrontation.

He directly uses the bench press equipment to train strength!

And "Silver Fox" Harris is also teaching him the skills of defending O'Neal.

Against the peak O'Neal, if you want to win one-on-one, even if you are like Battelle before, you can't rely on strength.

As long as O'Neal receives the ball in a comfortable position, it doesn't matter who comes.

Therefore, the key to defending O'Neal is not whether he can withstand it, but whether he can be comfortably in place.

Harris understands this, and our director Zhang Weiping Zhang also understands it, and even gave it a very high name: Net Shark.

As the name suggests, it is to trap a big shark and prevent it from opening its mouth, so its power to hurt people will naturally decrease.

Of course, the premise of doing this is that the player facing him can at least not lose the wind in the confrontation, otherwise everything is useless.

Dampier, just the right guy.

Fisher gave the ball to Kobe, and Kobe carried out Fisher's thinking and then hung the ball to O'Neal.

It's just that he doesn't like passing the ball very much, so he didn't pay too much attention when passing the ball. When he passed the ball, Bodi Loga, who was on the weak side, had already swam over quietly.

Grab the moment he passed the ball.

"Snapped!"

Broke the ball directly!

Bodi Loga didn't stop for a moment after the steal. He dribbled the ball behind Fisher and threw it to Sun Hao, who was about to go down.

Sun Hao walks like flying on the Adidas SH95, just like the monkey on the logo, moving like a rainbow.

When he rushed to the front field, he stepped on somersault clouds and soared into the sky.

"Boom!"

A two-handed dunk smashed the ball hard into the basket.

After the dunk, Sun Hao landed, beat his chest, and roared!

Dallas Carter!

Burning fire of vengeance!
