I am so Accurate

"beep!"

As soon as the whistle blew, Yao Ming moved the ball back to half court, and the finals officially kicked off!

Nelson controlled the ball, and after Yao Ming dropped to the low post, he then lobbed the ball in.

The Wizards started the game inside.

Yao Ming caught the ball and hit O'Neal in the back.

O'Neal's reaction speed slowed down after he gained weight, but the confrontation was still there. After Yao Ming was pushed twice, he was pushed further outside.

However, Yao Ming is a center with a perfect combination of skills and height. He turned around and made an outside hook.

O'Neal could only watch the ball and sigh.

"Uh-huh!"

Yao Ming showed off his soft touch and put the ball firmly into the basket.

2 to 0!

The Wizards come out on top!

Although he does not have the MVP halo bonus like Sun Hao, Yao Ming's state in the playoffs, especially after winning the MVP, is extremely hot!

In the Lakers' offense, Payton advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

At this moment, Phil Jackson on the Lakers bench suddenly stood up.

Because he discovered an "unbelievable" scene on the field.

On the Wizards' side, McGrady is guarding Sun Hao!

Jackson then turned his attention to Carlisle on the sidelines.

In previous matches between the two teams, especially in the Christmas game, Sun Hao scored 62 points to defeat the Wizards, and no one could stop him.

The Wizards, whether Nelson or Hamilton, including Alexander on the bench, were completely unable to stop Sun Hao.

Don’t the Wizards have a better defender?

The answer is, yes.

who? Maddie.

McGrady's physical talent is destined to be an extremely good defender.

But as said before, it is generally rare for the core to defend the core on the court.

Because players have limited physical fitness, doing that will inevitably mean physical exertion on the offensive end.

Of course there are exceptions, such as Kobe.

But McGrady is not Kobe, and their personalities are completely different.

What's more, the game has just begun!

In the first round, Sun Hao faced McGrady's attack, and his shot after shaking... went wide!

McGrady's physical talent is so good, whether static or dynamic, he is completely a plus version of Kobe.

And he is really trying his best to defend. It feels like the Suns are coming out of the West.

You must know that although McGrady has such a good talent, he has never been in the defensive lineup. Most of the time, he does not work hard on defense.

After successfully defending Sun Hao's goal, McGrady rarely opened his sleepy eyes.

To use the saying in fantasy novels, when he opened his eyes, a breathtaking light burst out!

This time, it was Jackson who misunderstood Carlisle.

Defending Sun Hao was not Carlisle's arrangement, but McGrady's own request!

McGrady's personality is indeed much different from Kobe's, but at certain times, his desire to win can also be very strong.

For example, in history, in order to help Houston win in the playoffs, he played in isolation!

Although that move later proved to be unwise, he did it.

Now history has changed, and the first-round virgin has reached the finals. This moment is much more specific than that time!

In the Wizards' offense, Nelson and Uncle Huo played a pick-and-roll, and after splitting, they faced O'Neal who was defending and shot.

The ball didn't go in, but O'Neal had no time to take it back. After Yao Ming grabbed the offensive rebound under the basket, he dunked on the second attack!

4 to 0!

The scene was filled with cheers, and Jordan reached out to applaud the team's performance.

The Wizards got off to a perfect start.

On the Lakers bench, Phil Jackson frowned slightly.

Judging from the fact that McGrady did not participate in the Wizards' opening two attacks, the Wizards will use McGrady to defend Sun Hao throughout the game tonight.

If Sun Hao and McGrady play one-on-one, the Lakers will be at a disadvantage.

I have to say that the Wizards' adjustment was in place.

Now, it depends on whether Sun Hao can break through McGrady's defense.

Payton controlled the ball to the frontcourt and prepared to continue passing the ball to Sun Hao.

But at this moment, Sun Hao made a new tactical gesture to him.

Payton was a little surprised because that was not Jackson's tactical arrangement, but he believed in Sun Hao and did it anyway.

This is an inside tactic. After Sun Hao, Ariza and Walker moved to the wings, O'Neal sank to the inside and Payton dropped the ball.

O'Neal caught the ball and glanced left and right without double-teaming, and directly hit Yao Ming.

Yao Ming held his breath... couldn't bear it anymore.

In history, Yao Ming was reluctant to defend O'Neal after gaining weight, but now that Yao Ming has not gained weight, it is O'Neal who has gained weight.

One goes down and the other goes up, it's normal for Yao Ming to be unable to handle it.

But Yao Ming was very smart. After he knew he couldn't handle it after two attempts, he took off the bench and prepared to use his height advantage to block the shot.

Inside players have a high center of gravity and can easily lose their balance. This would be an easy trap for an ordinary inside player.

But this is O'Neal, who has played against Yao Ming so many times and is already on guard.

When Yao Ming took off the bench, he took advantage of the situation and took off directly to hit the ball towards the basket with one hand.

"Bang!"

Even a slight leap is already a thunderous strike!

The scene was agitated.

They don't know the psychological game between the two people on the court.

What they saw was O'Neal knocking Yao Ming away and then dunking the ball in with a shark-style dunk.

That kind of visual impact is indeed like O'Neal himself said, he has had enough rest!

The ball rights were exchanged, Yao Ming received the ball inside and then hit O'Neal with his back.

O'Neal was very focused when defending, but Yao Ming didn't gain weight and was very flexible. He still scored the ball with a continuous turning hook shot!

After scoring the goal, Yao Ming waved his fist vigorously.

Although he didn't guard O'Neal, O'Neal didn't guard him either!

Looking back, Payton continued to drop the ball to O'Neal.

However, there was a small detail at this time on the court. Sun Hao did not simply stand on the outside to create space, but instead ran around the half court without the ball.

O'Neal showed off his skills under the basket, and his iconic hook after turning around also steadily sent the ball into the basket!

A duel between two super centers!

After a few rounds of the game, the fans suddenly discovered that the game had turned into a Yao Shark showdown from the beginning to now!

Phil Jackson's mood improved a lot.

From a strategic perspective, Sun Hao's choice was wise.

The opening Yao-Shark matchup not only makes full use of O'Neal's physical strength when he is on the court.

More importantly, because McGrady is guarding Sun Hao, he will not be involved too much on the offensive end, and the Lakers can maintain the situation.

Sun Hao even cleverly used off-ball movements to consume McGrady's energy. You must know that defense always consumes more energy than offense because it has to go around pick-and-rolls.

So if they keep playing like this, the Lakers will gradually gain an advantage.

The situation on the field is indeed developing in this direction.

The two teams played for about 6 minutes, and the score on the field was 14-all.

At this moment, Sun Hao caught the ball and faced McGrady, and suddenly stepped back and shot a three-pointer.

McGrady has excellent physical talent and has maintained a very high defensive concentration from the beginning, but running with Sun Hao for most of the quarter also consumes a lot of physical energy.

What? Only half a quarter?

Ask Payton, who is already panting and tired, how he feels about guarding Hamilton for half a quarter!

Sun Hao just followed Hamilton's style of play and ran for half a quarter!

This time, he failed to keep up with Sun Hao's offensive rhythm.

At this moment, the ball flew over his head and flew towards the basket.

"Uh-huh!"

Then with a crisp sound, Sun Hao's three-pointer came down!

This is his first score tonight!

Not to mention, when Nelson's pull-up jumper missed, O'Neal grabbed the rebound and passed it to Walker, and the Lakers launched a defensive counterattack.

After receiving a long pass from Walker, Sun Hao accelerated and left McGrady behind!

"Bang!"

An iconic tomahawk dunk, the scene was filled with excitement.

Sun Hao either doesn't take a shot or scores, but when he takes a shot, it's a personal 5-0!

Carlisle reached out and called a timeout.

His reaction speed is fast enough.

But he overreacted a little this time.

Because after returning from the timeout, the Lakers had replaced O'Neal.

At this time point, it's O'Neal's regular rotation time!

With this timeout, Carlisle paid for his youth.

After returning from the timeout, Yao Ming played Mourning in low singles.

He turned around continuously, but Mourning was much more flexible than O'Neal. When he finally chose to attack, Mourning was tough enough.

His offense was ultimately disrupted and the rebound was grabbed by Mourning.

Mourning staged a play of "Can Lian Po still be able to earn a living?"

The Lakers advanced to the frontcourt and the ball went into Sun Hao's hands.

In the timeout just now, Jackson made tactical adjustments, and the Lakers' offensive focus has shifted from the inside to the outside.

Or to be more precise, it has been transferred from O'Neal to Sun Hao.

Sun Hao faced McGrady, accelerated one step, retreated, and accelerated again.

McGrady started to have trouble keeping up.

His center of gravity was already much higher than that of Sun Hao, but now that his physical exertion was increasing, he began to lose control.

Uncle Huo came to help defend, but Jackson had tactical arrangements, and Walker had already moved in advance to set up a pick-and-roll.

Sun Hao turned around and walked to Walker's side, used the pick-and-roll to get inside, and took a shot that caused Yao Ming's defensive foul.

Sun Hao went to the free throw line.

At this moment, Carlisle called McGrady and Nelson to the side.

Sun Hao's free throw.

The first free throw was made.

There is also a second penalty.

Two solid free throws.

14 to 21.

The score difference was opened to 7 points.

Counting the timeout, Sun Hao also scored 7 points in a row!

The Wizards advanced to the frontcourt and McGrady started holding the ball!

Obviously, this is Carlisle's new arrangement when Sun Hao made a free throw just now.

With this reaction speed, Carlisle's on-the-spot command ability is several miles ahead of D'Antoni.

Yao Ming mentioned the pick-and-roll in the high post, but the classic MM combination came belatedly.

An up-and-down pick-and-roll, the Lakers switched defenses, and McGrady faced Mourning and pulled out his hand.

Elegant body shape and picturesque posture.

Because of the beauty of his game, Tracy McGrady's popularity skyrocketed in China after teaming up with Yao Ming.

In addition to "T-mac", he even has a nickname in China: Basketball Poet!

"Dang!"

But although it looked good, his first shot failed to hit!

Fortunately, Yao Ming took off the offensive rebound and scored directly on the second attack.

16 to 21!

The score difference is back to 5 points!

Sun Hao got the ball in the frontcourt again, and at this moment, his defender changed from McGrady to Hamilton.

This is also a normal adjustment.

Carlisle arranged for Tracy McGrady to attack, so he would not let him defend again.

But this kind of adjustment is Sun Hao's opportunity.

Sun Hao continued to change directions and break through, but Hamilton couldn't resist it. Uncle Huo followed up to make up the defense.

Sun Hao saw the latter fake pass to Walker to deceive Uncle Huo, and then made a rebound shot after confronting Hamilton.

The ball spins and wipes the board into the frame.

16 to 23!

The score difference was widened to 7 points again!

Sun Hao scored 9 points in a row!

"What a terrifying scoring explosion!"

This year's finals live broadcast was taken over by ESPN, and Brin couldn't help but sigh after seeing it.

No one thought this was an exaggeration, because Sun Hao didn't score much in the first half of the quarter, but now, he has scored 9 points in an instant!

At this time, let's recall Jordan's answer that was not what the question was asked. The connotation of that sentence is actually a tacit understanding that Sun Hao is stronger than Tracy McGrady!

It’s just that the God of Basketball’s face comes first. Now that McGrady is on his team, it’s impossible to admit it.

Looking back, McGrady continued to play pick-and-roll with Yao Ming.

The Lakers didn't dare to change again this time. Yao Ming's height is there, and if he changes, he will basically lose backcourt rebounds.

Ariza tried his best to get around, but Yao Ming was also big.

And McGrady is still very decisive in his actions.

Another picturesque scissors kick.

"Uh-huh!"

This time the basketball heard the poet's call and fell into the bag.

18 to 23!

The point difference was once again pulled back to 5 points!

The situation on the field was extremely anxious.

Sun Hao broke through in the frontcourt and was double-teamed. This time he chose to pass the ball to Walker in the bottom corner.

Walker made a decisive three-pointer, but unfortunately he was a bit unlucky and missed the frame.

Yao Ming protected the defensive rebound.

After O'Neal came off the court, the Lakers were obviously at a disadvantage inside.

And this time the Wizards played a fast break, McGrady followed quickly on the fast break, and jumped up after receiving Nelson's pass in the frontcourt.

Ariza had also retreated to the backcourt at this time. He jumped up to block the shot, but McGrady showed his incredible physical fitness, dodging in the air and then gliding and dunking!

In an instant, the Verizon Center was ablaze.

The visual impact of this dunk was simply explosive.

When Sun Hao watched the LED playback, he couldn't help but feel a little envious.

McGrady's physical talent is unique in the NBA.

And more importantly, the Wizards' momentum has increased.

Back on the defensive end, they held the Lakers to almost 24 seconds.

The ball returned to Sun Hao's hands in the last 2 seconds, and Sun Hao shot directly in front of Hamilton!

This ball is very critical. Not only is the point difference on the court only 3 points, but more importantly, if the Wizards make another defensive counterattack, the "power" on the court will shift towards the Wizards. .

Just like in the previous Western Conference Finals against the Suns, "power" is almost decisive in close games.

Everyone at the scene was looking at the ball spinning in the air.

"Uh-huh!"

Then, this time it was the Lakers bench that was boiling.

Sun Hao's key goals never disappoint!

20 to 26!

The point difference was once again widened to 6 points.

The scene was agitated.

Maddie also smiled at this time and stretched out her hand to rub her nose.

In fact, he also envied Sun Hao's key ball ability.

"This is the matchup of the strongest teams this year!"

Brin continued to sigh with emotion.

The first is Yao Shar's duel, followed by Sun Mai's PK.

This finals has only started for less than one quarter, but the excitement has already surpassed all previous games!
