I am so Accurate

At this time, O'Neal was replaced by Mourning.

The big shark has a smile on his face.

As shown when chatting with Sun Hao, Shark refused to play against the Warriors at first. What he feared most after gaining weight was running back and forth all over the court.

But after half a quarter, he entered the "physically honest" stage.

The Warriors' interior configuration is to give him a sense of game experience!

Mourning came off the bench and the Lakers still maintained their advantage on the court.

The difference between Sun Hao and Kobe is also very obvious at this stage.

Kobe uses one way to convince you, but Sun Hao uses the most correct way to defeat you.

After O'Neal came off the court, he didn't take any shots from the outside. He only attacked the basket.

The purpose of this is also very clear, not to give the Warriors a chance to grab long rebounds.

The Warriors didn't have any rebounds and couldn't counterattack!

Some people may ask, if the Lakers are so determined to attack the basket, why don't the Warriors shrink their defense?

Because if you shrink your defense, you won't be able to counterattack!

The Warriors are fast runners, but they are also human. If you want them to fly from the three-second zone to the three-point line, they can't do it.

If you have played 2K, you will know this very well. The fastest way to complete a fast break is to turn around and run to the frontcourt after the opponent takes a shot, wait for the teammates in the backcourt to grab the rebound and then pass the ball long.

And in order to increase the success rate, it is best for teammates to grab long rebounds, so that long passes are not easily disturbed and destroyed.

Now that the most critical part of the fast break has been cut off, it will naturally be difficult to fight back.

Nelson rubbed his forehead with his hand on the sidelines.

It was also against his former favorite, but Sun Hao put more pressure on him than Nowitzki.

Moreover, the current Sun Hao has no technical shortcomings on the offensive end, and he is not as targetable as Nowitzki.

One word, difficult!

As the game went on, the Warriors were beaten until they lost their temper.

The Warriors are a team that anyone can play if they are excited and comfortable.

But being beaten like this all the time, the momentum quickly disappeared, and the collapse came faster than most teams.

Before the third quarter was finished, the Lakers had already established a 20-point lead, and the game was over early.

In the end, the Lakers defeated the Warriors 103-83 at home and won their first victory in the semifinals opener.

O'Neal only played 22 minutes and easily scored a double-double of 21 points and 10 rebounds.

This result was in sharp contrast to the first-round series between the Warriors and Mavericks, and also triggered heated discussions among fans on the forum.

"Thank you, Lakers. I finally know where our team's problems lie. Johnson, please get out of here as far away as you can!"

"There is no harm without comparison. We should really change the head coach, otherwise we will be wasting the peak of Kobe and Dirk!"

"How about we invite old Nelson back? He will be a winner when he comes back, and he is familiar with the team. There is no more suitable candidate than him!"

"You made people angry at first, and now you invite them back?"

"Hey! This tells us that as a human being, we often cannot act on impulse. No one knows what will happen in the future, so we have to keep a thin line in our lives!"

"It's just that the Lakers are cheap, and they can enter the Western Conference Finals!"

"To be honest, I think even if we beat the Warriors, it will be difficult to beat the Lakers..."

"I agree. I don't know if it's my imagination. I feel like the Lakers are still in a half-stroke state, and Sun and Shaq haven't exerted much effort."

"It's not an illusion, it's indeed the case. The Lakers' veterans have already come into their own, and the Lakers are going to defend their title!"

"The only one who can stop the Lakers is the Wizards."

"Where's the sun?"

"Nash will be beaten to pieces by Sun again... isn't it like that when he was with the Warriors?"

"I don't think so. The Suns' overall defensive ability is much better than the Warriors. I think the Suns and Lakers are at least 40-60, or even 50-50."

"No need to discuss it, we will see it soon!"

…

While the discussion among fans on the forum was heated, another semifinal game in the Western Conference between the Suns and the Nuggets was getting underway.

The reason why fans say "I'll see the Lakers beat the Suns soon" is because the Nuggets were beaten by the Suns...

In the future, fans will often compare the 73-win Warriors with the Suns in history. In fact, they do have a lot in common.

A gorgeous and ferocious offense, and a defense that is easily overlooked by fans because of the offense.

Many people may say that the Suns are often scored 110 or even 120 points by their opponents, so how can they be so good at defense?

This is where data can deceive people.

In the future small ball era, games will often be 120 or even 130 points.

In addition to the body hair whistle, a bigger reason is that the second attack has been reduced from the original 24 seconds to 14 seconds.

The direct result of this is that there are many more offensive rounds in the game, and the scoring will naturally increase.

This is also the reason why this Suns team is often beaten by opponents by 110+ or ​​even 120+.

Because the purpose of D'Antoni's 7-second offense is to increase the number of rounds and then explode the score.

So don't be deceived by the data. Watch more of the Suns' games and you will find that their defensive strength is among the best in the league.

One of the most direct evidences is that the Suns' defensive efficiency ranks fifth in the league this season.

The immature Nuggets faced such a team that integrated offense and defense, and the result was predictable.

James' performance is pretty normal. After all, it is the super insider who can really limit his performance.

However, the performance of others clearly dived under the high-intensity defense, which also caused the Nuggets to lose by a large margin.

After the game, Nuggets fans started a new round of calls, demanding to find a strong helper for James.

Some fans even hope to use such voices to awaken the fighting spirit of other Nuggets players.

It's just that facing the powerful Suns, whether this method can work is a big question mark.

Easily winning the first game of the semifinals, the atmosphere within the Lakers team was relaxed, and Sun Hao was in a pretty good mood.

On this game day, after training, Sun Hao and O'Neal were chatting in the training hall when they suddenly noticed a familiar head sticking out of the door.

After taking a closer look, I realized it was Durant.

"How did you get in?"

Sun Hao walked over in surprise.

A place like the training hall is not one that can be entered and exited casually. Even reporters must obtain permission to enter.

"The security guard at the door knows me. He said he remembers you giving me sneakers."

After hearing this, Sun Hao was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

Durant is a well-connected person, so he went through the back door.

"Shaq, come here and introduce you to the future superstar."

Sun Hao turned to greet O'Neal.

This is not Durant’s first visit to Staples Center. On the night of 81 points, he gave Durant his original sneakers;

This is not the first time Durant and O'Neal have appeared in the same place. When Sun Hao got married before, he and O'Neal were both present;

However, they had never met each other before, so Sun Hao just wanted to introduce them.

"I know you, Sun often talks about you to me, future superstar."

O'Neal reached out to Durant.

Sun Hao was a little surprised. He never mentioned Durant to O'Neal.

But this is also what a person with high emotional intelligence like O'Neal would say.

"Yeah?"

Durant's face turned red and a little embarrassed.

But his reaction, well, this emotional intelligence is exactly the opposite of O'Neal.

O'Neal didn't care, shook hands with Durant, and then went back to the locker room.

Sun Hao and Durant sat down and chatted.

Durant came to watch the game, but because he didn't buy a ticket, he came to ask Sun Hao for a ticket.

Sun Hao smiled and nodded. This was something he remembered the Durant would do in his previous life.

Sun Hao asked him about the draft.

While the first round of the playoffs is still underway, the draft lottery has ended, and the order is:

No. 1 pick, Raptors;

No. 2, Cavaliers;

No. 3 pick, Bobcats;

Fourth pick, Trail Blazers;

No. 5 pick, Houston;

No. 6 pick, Hawks;

No. 7, Grizzlies;

Eighth pick, Timberwolves;

…

As the lottery picks come out, trial training follows.

Sun Hao also asked about Durant's trial training situation.

"Rich didn't schedule a lot of workouts for me."

"Richie?"

At first glance, Sun Hao thought he was Rich Paul.

"Rich Kleiman, the agent I hired, he's very famous in New York."

After Durant explained, Sun Hao remembered.

Durant's emotional intelligence is relatively low, but he is a very good person, and he can show off his skills as an agent. He is one of the few people in the league who has never changed agents.

"Which teams has he arranged for you to try out for?"

"Toronto and Cleveland."

"Gone?"

"Just these two now."

First and second.

Although the quantity is not much, the quality is the best.

It seems that Kleiman is very optimistic about Durant's draft prospects this year.

"How are you doing?"

"I screwed up in Toronto. They asked me to bench press 84kg. I couldn't do it even once. It was a bit cold there and I felt like my body wasn't fully active."

Durant looked a little annoyed when he said this.

This is understandable, the Raptors hold the No. 1 pick after all.

Sun Hao paused when he heard this. Durant participated in the draft one year earlier than in history, but the bench press thing still happened.

"But I did pretty well in Cleveland."

However, Durant changed the topic and looked much better again.

"Their boss was Daniel Gilbert and he and I talked a lot and I could tell he was interested in me."

After listening to this, Sun Hao felt a sudden flash of inspiration in his head.

In history, James went to the Cavaliers and became the "little emperor" of Cleveland.

Now history has changed, James went to the Denver Nuggets, so he switched to Durant?

If the script is that James becomes Nowitzki, and then Durant becomes James...

If that’s the case, it’s very interesting!

But something doesn't seem right. Durant doesn't have any brothers to play basketball with.

Sun Hao was thinking a little too far, and Durant called him twice before he was brought back from his thoughts.

But judging from what I've heard, Durant's draft pick this year won't be low.

After the two chatted, Sun Hao had dinner with him, settled the ticket matters, and then went back to Staples Center together.

The second game of the semi-finals will then start here.

The first game was won so easily, and the fans were in a very relaxed mood, including the photographers.

In addition to filming live warm-up scenes, he was filming some of the audience present, including Scarlett, Nicholson, and then Durant.

When Durant appeared on the big LED screen, the scene was a little embarrassing for a while, and even many viewers couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Because Durant is eating...little raccoon crispy noodles there.

Sun Hao was also happy when he saw it, Durant has such a damn migrant worker temperament.

But besides laughing, some fans were still talking.

No matter what, Durant is a popular rookie in this year's draft.

Nelson also looked up and saw Durant, but he frowned slightly and didn't know what he was thinking of writing.

After the warm-up, the game started quickly.

In this game, Nelson put both Dunleavy Jr. and Murphy back into the starting lineup.

This kind of adjustment is also acknowledgment that the formation change in the previous game failed, and the team must return to the lineup they are most familiar with.

However, after the game started, the situation on the field did not change much from the previous game.

O'Neal is still experiencing the game, and Sun Hao mostly sits on the sidelines drinking wolfberry tea.

After the final four quarters, the Lakers defeated the Warriors 115-97, changing the score to 2-0.

There is no easier way to play this game.

And at this time, it was basically confirmed that the Warriors were sending the Lakers to the Western Conference Finals.

…

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the second round of the game is over.

The four-group matchup can be described with an idiom: polarized.

Two groups swept, and two groups fought fiercely.

To complete the sweep, in addition to the expected Lakers, there was also the "unexpected and reasonable" Wizards.

In addition to the awkward matchup between Howard and Yao Ming, Arenas was also educated by Tracy McGrady.

The epitome of the series, McGrady's iconic shaking pull-up three-pointer from outside the three-point line, Arenas had a look of helplessness on his face.

The other two groups fought fiercely.

The Nets and Pistons didn't decide the winner until the sixth game. It was Anthony who completed the game-winner in G5 Tianwangshan, and in G6 the Pistons won in one go.

Throughout the series, Anthony averaged 27 points per game, which was a very good performance and won a lot of support for the upcoming MVP selection.

Another group that is slightly surprising is the matchup between the Suns and the Nuggets.

After losing the first game by a big score, James began to become more "selfish", and facts proved that his selfishness was right.

He averaged 33 points per game throughout the series and was the scoring leader in the first round.

His strong performance also allowed the Nuggets to go from 1 to 3 to 2 to 3, and only lost in the sixth game.

Like Anthony, his performance has also won him many MVP calls.

By this time, the lineup for the Eastern and Western Conference finals has been finally released.

Wizards VS Pistons in the East, and Lakers VS Suns in the West.

Although the process was somewhat tortuous, the result was not much different from what fans expected before the playoffs began.

And it is also foreseeable that these two sets of conference finals will not have the one-sided situation of the conference semifinals.

Either you die or I die. It can be predicted before it even begins.

The storm is about to come, and just when fans are eager to see these two groups of conference finals, the league announced the third batch of awards for the season.

There is only one award this time, but it is the one that attracts the most attention.

Regular season MVP.
