Not only was James stunned, the moment the ball was scored, the entire Staples Center was boiling.

What a good control it takes to complete this incredible goal!

And what's even more incredible than the goal itself is that this is the fifth difficult goal Sun Hao hit in this quarter!

Sun Hao's hand was not only hot, it was already on fire!

70 to 58!

The point difference returned to 12 points!

Looking back, the Nuggets made a mistake on the offensive end. Iverson passed the ball directly to Posey when he scored suddenly!

This time it was the turn of the Lakers to play a defensive counterattack.

Hill received a pass from Posey, and rushed to the frontcourt with a one-handed gliding dunk!

72 to 58!

The point difference is 14 points!

Iverson and James were discussing the movement of the ball just now during the retreat, but halfway through the exchange, they both turned their heads and did not speak again.

From this detail on the field, you can feel that the Nuggets have begun to lose their hold!

The same two points, difficult goals and ordinary goals, the impact must be different.

Because it is human beings who play, and human beings will have psychological fluctuations!

Every difficult goal is a blow to the confidence of the defender.

Continuous high-difficulty goals are like bombarding a person's psychological defense line with one punch after another, until the opponent's psychology collapses.

Carl reached out and wiped his face with a helpless expression.

He's called enough timeouts this quarter.

And it's not that the Nuggets didn't perform well, you have to know that James' level of difficult alley-oops has been received.

Really... Sun Hao's performance tonight was incredible!

If it is said that Sun Hao won the Derby G4 by quantity, then tonight it is quality!

The morale of the Nuggets continued to decline, but the morale of the Lakers continued to rise.

One ebbs and another, and the point difference begins to gradually get out of control.

At the end of the three quarters, the Lakers have opened the point difference to 20 points 85 to 65!

In the last quarter, the Nuggets fought back, but the Lakers were still in hot form, and they were still unable to close the point difference.

Three minutes before the end, the difference between the two sides was still 15 points.

Seeing that there was no hope of winning, Karl also replaced the main force in advance.

At the moment when the main force of the Nuggets was replaced, the cheers on the scene resounded through the arena and continued.

Carl used such a dirty method, but in the end, he was still beaten by the Lakers!

This is Zhou Lang's ingenious plan to secure the world, he loses his wife and loses his army!

Cool!

The two sides played the last three minutes off the bench, and the Lakers finally beat the Nuggets 107-90 and won their first victory in the Western Conference Finals!

Sun Hao scored a game-high 41 points, plus 4 rebounds and 3 assists.

In addition to Sun Hao for the Lakers, Hill had 17 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists, Posey had 14 points, 3 rebounds and 2 steals, Lu Wei had 12 points, and Mourning had 5 points, 11 rebounds and 2 blocks.

On the Nuggets side, James scored a team-high 31 points plus 6 rebounds and 5 assists, and his performance was equally dazzling.

In addition, Iverson had 21 points and 7 assists, JR Smith had 13 points, Camby had 11 points, 13 rebounds and 3 blocks, and Martin had 7 points and 7 rebounds.

After the game, the two teams shook hands. James looked helpless when he saw Sun Hao, and then hugged Sun Hao firmly for a while.

At the press conference after the game, James and Iverson attended together.

"How do you evaluate Sun's performance tonight?"

The reporter asked James a question.

"We did everything we could, but we still couldn't limit him, and he's without a doubt the best player in the league."

James shook his head helplessly, and spoke after a while of silence.

James has always been known for his eloquence during interviews, and this kind of answer is rarely spoken from his mouth.

This can only show that he was really convinced by Sun Hao tonight.

"Then will you give up your goal? Defeat Sun."

the reporter asked.

"No, that's always been my goal."

James answered in the affirmative.

As a young dragon slayer, his will is not so easily defeated!

Later in the day, the Lakers' press conference followed suit.

In addition to Sun Hao's outstanding performance in the third quarter, the reporter also inevitably mentioned the conflicts in the game.

"It was an accident."

Speaking of his malicious foul, of course Sun Hao would not say that he did it on purpose.

"But I have to remind some coaches that you can't win games by some dirty means, because paper can't cover fire, you never know if the fans or staff around you have video or recording equipment, maybe you You can get away with it once, but you can't dodge every time."

And when it comes to O'Neal's injury, Sun Hao is really angry.

This answer stunned the reporters in the audience.

Because of O'Neill, Sun Hao has no taboos, and he doesn't give Karl any sympathy.

I believe this wave of remarks will definitely spark a wave of controversy after the game.

In fact, it is true.

The ability of fans is always beyond your imagination.

On social media, some fans even picked up things that happened a long time ago.

When Carl coached the "Three Musketeers" in the Bucks, he once publicly accused the players of the team for having no fighting spirit.

The person who was accused was the core of the team at the time, Ray Allen.

Some fans even said that Karl was privately unimpressed with Kenyon Martin's character, and felt that it was caused by Martin's lack of fatherly love.

These seem to be speculative, but many things are right.

For example, Ray Allen had a bad relationship with Carl during the Bucks period, which was one of the reasons why he was finally traded by the Bucks management;

Another example is that Martin can't get any reuse under Karl.

These are true and false, which can be said to be quite exciting.

Of course, returning to the matter of Heywood and O'Neal itself, there will be no definite news at this time.

Maybe a few years later, when Haywood leaves the team, or Karl retires from the league, then the truth will become clear.

The Western Conference finals here are extremely lively, but the divisional semifinals between the Celtics and the Bulls are still not over yet.

I thought the Celtics should have eliminated the Bulls in Game 6.

As a result, the Bulls played extremely tenaciously in the last home game of the series. In the end, they narrowly won 75-71, tying the big score to 3-3!

At this time, a 2.08-meter small forward in the Oakland apartment laughed like a pig while clutching the quilt.

The Boston Big Three are so vigorous, they won't even be able to make it to the Eastern Conference Finals, right? !

If that's the case, then the Celtics will really become the laughing stock of the century!

After two days of rest, the second game of the Western Conference Finals continued.

Naturally, what fans are most concerned about is whether O'Neal can make an appearance.

Although Sun Hao killed the Quartet in the first game, everyone can feel that the presence or absence of O'Neal has too much influence on the game situation.

The final result came out, O'Neal will not play, and he did not come to the game.

The Lakers did not announce the news, but the reality is that O'Neal's injury recovery is slower than expected.

After all, his age is there, and the recovery of athletes from injuries has always been linked to age.

As for Sun Hao's teammate, he has the attribute of speeding up the recovery from injuries, which is only written in novels.

Without O'Neal, the game still has to be played.

The Nuggets' defensive strategy is still the same as the previous game, strictly guarding against Sun Hao.

But this time, Sun Hao's hit rate was not high when he was forced to make difficult shots.

This is the same as the result of his previous training in the system.

"Difficult shooter" can improve the grasp of difficult shots, but there will still be instability.

And after all, it's just a bronze badge, and it's worth the money with the superb performance in the previous game.

The Nuggets pulled back a victory 102-91, rewriting the big score to 1-1.

In the next third game, whoever wins will get the initiative in the series.

Before the start of Game 3 of the Western Conference finals here, the tiebreaker between the Celtics and the Bulls in the East also came to an end.

The Bulls dared to fight and fight hard, and the three armies used their lives, but in the end... they still lost to the Celtics.

Every time the Celtics defended, the Bulls looked like they couldn't play, with turnovers or iron strikes.

Of course, the more important thing is that this is the tiebreaker, and the Celtics' game intensity has not dropped at all!

This toughness is a bit scary!

So in the end, there were suspense and surprises, but after going around and around, the two strongest teams in the Eastern Conference still met in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Whether the Wizards will continue their dominance in the Eastern Conference, or whether the Big Three will break out of the Eastern Conference as they wish, the matchup in this group may be even more exciting than those from the Western Conference.

Of course, at this moment, the Eastern Conference finals have not yet started, and more people are once again focusing their attention on the Western Conference finals.

The Nuggets and Lakers moved to Denver Plateau to continue the third game of the series!

O'Neill is still the focus of attention.

The good news for Lakers fans is that, although it is still uncertain whether he will be able to play, O'Neal traveled to Denver with the Lakers.

On the night of the game, the Pepsi Center was full, and the enthusiasm of the fans was even higher than that of the Staples Center.

Not for anything else, just because this is the first time since 1985 that the team reached the conference finals again after 22 years!

At this time, there will definitely be fans asking what the best record in the Nuggets' team history is.

The answer is the Western Conference Finals!

So you can understand why Denver fans are so excited this year.

Because as long as they defeat the Lakers, they will be able to reach the finals in history, and even have a chance to win their first championship in team history!

Not only the fans, you can see from the faces of the Nuggets players that they are more excited than in the past few games.

Obviously, what the fans know, Karl must have told the Nuggets before the game, and he must have said more.

In this game, the Nuggets are determined to win!

When warming up before the game, the live camera was looking for O'Neal.

O'Neal warmed up on the field in his practice clothes.

But when the admission ceremony, his name did not appear in the starting list.

Even later, O'Neal was not included in the 12-man roster given on the spot.

O'Neill, still won't be on tonight.

This is also the decision of the Lakers coaching staff.

As early as the OK period, they had already experienced the disadvantages of O'Neal's injury.

So they would rather take the risk of continuing to lose a game, but also let O'Neill play neatly.

What's more, even without O'Neill, they may not necessarily lose.

Who can guarantee that Sun Hao will not explode like in the first match?

After the opening ceremony, the starting players of the two teams appeared one after another.

Nuggets West, Iverson, James, Martin, Camby, and the past two games are the same.

Lakers Sun Hao, Hill, Posey, Millsap, Mourning.

Phil Jackson made a big adjustment to the lineup tonight.

However, this adjustment is also understandable.

Posey's outside touch in this round of the series is obviously better than that of Ariza. If he is on the court, he can prevent Sun Hao from falling into a situation where the offensive end cannot receive the ball.

The main function of Walker's starting is to help O'Neal create space under the basket. Now that O'Neal can't play, the significance of his starting is not that great.

Although Millsap is short in height and lacks experience, he is tough on defense and aggressive in fighting, which is a good supplement for inside defense.

Especially when Posey or Hill can't stand up to James, Millsap's excellent mobility can also fill in the defensive loopholes in time.

The game is about to start, and James throws chalk as usual before going on the field to mobilize the emotions of the fans in advance.

"beep!"

With a whistle, Camby turned the ball back to the Nuggets' half, and the third game of the Western Conference Finals officially opened.

The Nuggets' style of play is no different from the previous two games.

In a positional battle, James or Iverson holds the ball, and then rushes in after a simple pick-and-roll.

If the Lakers shrink, they will send the ball outside. If they don't shrink, they will score directly.

The Lakers' coping strategy is: the outside players don't move, just let Mourning and Millsap shrink in, and restrict them by double-teaming the ball holder.

This is a very good way of defense, but James has a strong ability to score points. As soon as Millsap came over to help defend, he knocked the ball to Martin.

As the No. 1 pick, Martin's autonomous offensive ability is obviously unqualified, and it can even be said to be very poor.

But his ability to catch the ball is top-notch!

He didn't need to dribble when he got the ball at this moment, he took a big step and directly dunked with both hands to score!

2 to 0!

Martin roared after the dunk.

The way the Nuggets played at home declared their determination to win tonight!

Looking back, Sun Hao ran without the ball.

Because of Posey's restraint, the Nuggets didn't dare to double-team casually. After receiving the ball, Sun Hao stepped back and made a three-pointer.

"Shua!"

Hands up and down!

Sun Hao's opening touch is also quite good!

On the sidelines, O'Neill stood up and applauded Sun Hao.

When he set off for Denver again, Sun Hao already knew that O'Neal would not be able to play.

But on the plane, he also boasted to O'Neill:

Tonight, "Big Shark" will just sit and watch him win!

Sun Hao threw the ball in, and the Nuggets had no chance to play high-speed back and forth, so they could only play against the Lakers.

This is great news for the Lakers.

James broke through again, and Millsap continued to double-team.

The difference is that Mourning went to Martin's side in advance to help defend.

The space under the basket is too small, and there is a high probability that James' pass to Camby will be destroyed. He directly chose to force himself!

Phil Jackson looked happy when he saw this.

In the opening attack and defense, his substitutions and adjustments worked!

In Millsap's words, he is known for his confrontation, and he is a power forward, so he is fully capable of holding...

Well, when he didn't say it.

In the stunned eyes of the fans, James scored the ball with Millsap hanging on his body, and caused Millsap's thug foul!

2+1!

Real Bulldozer! !

This heaven-defying physical fitness!

Throughout the history of the NBA, a small forward with this stature is probably unique.

James went to the free throw line, adjusted his breathing, and made an additional penalty!

After winning the last game, he has come out of the "shadow" of Sun Hao's first game.

And this game O'Neal did not play also gave him great confidence.

As long as the series is scored 2-1, even if O'Neal returns, the Nuggets still have the initiative in the series!

The Lakers' offense, Sun Hao caught the ball again and was double-teamed by three people.

Well, Karl's reflexes are not generally well developed. When he sees that Sun Hao feels good with a ball, he will give you svip treatment directly.

Sun Hao distributed the ball to Posey in the bottom corner.

The time to test the psychological quality came again.

"Shua!"

Posey did not disappoint Phil Jackson again, and made a steady three-pointer from the bottom corner!

5 to 6!

The Nuggets took advantage of the advantage of the home court to start the game with strong morale, and the Lakers did not fall behind by adjusting the lineup!

This kind of start is a bit unexpected, but Phil Jackson's lineup adjustment still played a big role.

However, as the game deepened, the Lakers began to gradually fall into a disadvantage.

After the past two games, the Nuggets have justified their strength.

In the absence of O'Neal, it is still difficult for the Lakers to stalemate or even gain an advantage with this Nuggets team.

With Posey and Millsap each missing a chance shot, the Nuggets significantly increased their defense against Sun Hao.

Role players, you can't make them play like stars.

Otherwise Percy would not be Percy, but Klay Thompson.

About seven minutes into the first quarter, the Nuggets seized the opportunity to play a high-speed back and forth. The Nuggets were 14 to 8 and began to gradually widen the point difference.

The rhythm of the game is a bit back to the second game.

At this time, it depends on Sun Hao's performance.

Sun Hao received the ball as if he was treated as a double team.

He didn't choose to split the ball this time, but made a sudden stop and fell back after turning around.

A difficult shot.

According to his understanding of the badge, this kind of game is guaranteed to be an iron game, which should be helpful in theory.

This is why he boasted to O'Neill on the plane.

"Shua!"

The basketball rubbed against the net and fell into the bag!

Facts have proved that Sun Hao's judgment is correct!

This difficult goal is very important!

In the frontcourt battle of the Nuggets, James broke through and shot against Millsap.

This time his shot failed to score.

Millsap's learning ability is indeed very strong. He was made 2+1 by James before.

Although James has strong confrontation ability, it is impossible to guarantee every goal can be scored in this kind of head-to-head confrontation.

Mourning retracted the protective post under the basket to defend the rebound, and the Nuggets' positional battle returned in vain!

Back on the offensive end, the ball continued to go to Sun Hao.

At this time, Sun Hao knew that he was under the positive influence of the badge, and his desire to attack also rose rapidly.

The Nuggets' defensive strategy for him at this time is also very similar to that in the third quarter of Game 1, pushing him near the baseline and in his non-shooting hot zone.

Moreover, Sun Hao fell into a double-team after taking two steps.

He still didn't choose to pass the ball. In the double-team, he first turned to the baseline to force West out of the baseline, then turned around and went outside the three-point line, facing Camby's three-pointer.

This ball is more difficult than the one just now.

After the ball was shot, Karl on the sidelines hung up with his heart.

Because he had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Shua!"

His hunch was soon fulfilled.

Sun Hao's difficult shots, consecutive hits!

The live camera was shown to James, and James was stunned.

Brother, why are you here again? !

I just stopped for a game, and started to play this kind of difficult goal again. I can’t play well together, can I?

The shadow he finally walked out of, walked back in an instant!

The bench of the Lakers was boiling, and O'Neal even had a wide-eyed expression that had never seen the world.

He wasn't there for the previous two games, and it's only been a few days since Sun Hao played like this?

And the key is, can such goals be scored consecutively? !

Phil Jackson also showed a KFC grandpa smile.

Sun Hao's state is completely different from the last game. To be precise, it should be the same as in the third quarter of the first game.

This shows that the Lakers have a great chance of winning the game tonight!

James, there is still no emergency stop jumper after the breakthrough!

Millsap wasn't very successful with his defense, but it made him uncomfortable.

Of course, Sun Hao's consecutive high-difficulty hits made his mentality start to become unstable!

With this ball, Millsap showed his ability as a rebounding idiot, turned around and grabbed the defensive rebound, and threw it to Sun Hao immediately.

Sun Hao made a one-stop fast break to the frontcourt, dodged James' chasing cap and flew in to score.

14 to 15!

Sun Hao personally played a 7-0 offensive to help the Lakers overtake the score!

Carl reached out and called a timeout!

The Denver fans at the scene were restless.

This is the strength of the number one player in the league!

You can press him for one game, but it is difficult for you to press him for two consecutive games!

Even many fans couldn't sit still.

If O'Neal didn't come back, if Sun Hao can lead the Lakers to capture the Nuggets at home, how will they play the next game? !

On the Lakers bench, O'Neal was already hugging Sun Hao and laughing.

No wonder Sun Hao dared to boast about Haikou, this is really awesome!

It seems that he has a good chance to experience what it feels like to win the Western Conference Finals live tonight!

Some people are happy and some are worried.

Over there, O'Neal grinned from ear to ear, and the Nuggets' side is clouded with sorrow.

In the first game, Karl couldn't do much about Sun Hao's unconventional goal.

In fact, as a normal coach, he can't help it!

You take the high difficulty as a routine, just like the infinity in lol, properly open and hang!

Carl finally looked at James.

In fact, the Nuggets are not completely helpless.

Because the number of Sun Hao's high difficulty is limited after all.

Just like in the first game, Sun Hao opened the score to 20 points in the third quarter, but in the last quarter, the Nuggets lost by almost the same point.

In other words, Sun Hao only agreed on a certain paragraph.

So as long as the Nuggets' positional battle can guarantee the success rate and the Lakers are not allowed to widen the score, the Nuggets have a great chance of winning!

Back from the timeout, the Nuggets' position attack.

James and Camby broke through the basket after the pick-and-roll and continued to fight against Millsap.

"when!"

His shot still missed!

As the situation changed from passive to active, Millsap's defense against James became better and better!

Millsap wanted to collect defensive rebounds after defending James.

But James also tried his best to grab the ball, and the two got stuck together for a while and neither could get up.

At this moment, a figure suddenly flew over their heads.

"Boom!"

Under the inconceivable eyes of the fans, Iverson rushed inside and made a deduction!

The scene was silent at first, because most people had expressions of disbelief in their eyes.

At this time, there were Camby at 2.11 meters, Mourning at 2.08 meters, James at 2.03 meters, and Millsap at 2.03 meters.

But in the end, it was Iverson, who was 1.83 meters tall, who flew up and dunked the ball in!

It's incredible!

Although Iverson did not fail to complete this kind of ball when he first debuted with the 76ers.

But you also know that was when he just debuted, when he was young.

Now he is 32 years old!

For a physical, unconventional point guard, he's definitely on the decline.

But he did it anyway!

And the point is, after the dunk, Iverson didn't change much in his expression. After he landed, he was already buried in defense.

All that is left to the players on the field is his No. 3 back.

This ball greatly boosted the morale of the Nuggets.

Especially for James.

He was even a little ashamed.

The Lakers' offense, Sun Hao continued to run without the ball.

At this time, the Nuggets began to use off-ball double teams to restrict Sun Hao from receiving the ball.

However, Sun Hao still used Millsap's pick-and-roll to run out and catch the ball!

After hitting difficult goals in a row, he is now in a hot state!

And after catching the ball, he turned around and made a three-pointer!

James' flying block almost knocked him into the air!

The two passed by, and the ball almost brushed James' fingertips and flew towards the basket after the shot.

Another difficult shot!

O'Neal stood up from the bench at this time, staring at the half court with his eyes open, his mouth wide open and motionless.

This kind of ball, can it still be scored? !

"boom!"

This ball is indeed too difficult.

Sun Hao controlled the angle, but he didn't grasp the strength well.

The ball hit the front of the basket and bounced high!

but!

The ball fell for the second time after bouncing, and even rubbed against the basket and entered the net bag!

A fairy ball!

Sun Hao scored 10 points in a row!

"God! God wears number 95!"

This ball stunned Brin in the commentary booth.

This is, just play high difficulty?

In fact, Sun Hao didn't expect that he could score this goal. He was completely able to win the badge.

Facts have proved that you still have to be bold enough to play basketball!

"Nuggets, it's going to be hard to win the game tonight."

Miller also expressed emotion after being silent for a while.

Tonight's game was too similar to the first game.

If nothing else, the Lakers will start to open up the score in this period.

As I said before, you don't need too many difficult goals, as long as you play with momentum, the initiative will soon be in your hands.

James held the ball in the frontcourt, and the scene was restless.

At this time, each one is critical.

As long as the Nuggets can't score, what awaits them is the same as in the first game, when the Lakers opened the score in waves.

Just when James was about to launch an attack, Iverson reached out and motioned him to come.

James quickly passed the ball to the past. He missed consecutive attacks during this period and was powerless.

Iverson's move also attracted the attention of all the fans on the scene.

Iverson had already surprised them with the ball in front of them. Can this kind of surprise continue now?

It was Hill who defended against Iverson.

Theoretically speaking, Sun Hao must be the best defense against Iverson for the Lakers, but it is impossible for Phil Jackson to do that.

Unless Sun Hao is a machine, he won't be able to bear the main offense and defense in this kind of game.

It's the same if you change to Kobe, this is not Mamba or Mamba spirit, people are not machines after all.

Iverson's continuous change of direction in front of his body is different from Deron's. Deron's rhythm is like a shooting star, also known as a drag step.

And Iverson's words are heavy speed, like lightning, also called hesitant step.

Suddenly, Iverson slammed to the right.

Hill instinctively applied the defender to the right.

But in the next half a second, Iverson pulled back suddenly, and then quickly stopped and shot!

Hill couldn't keep up with the rhythm and could only watch Iverson make a shot.

This scene seems familiar!

When Iverson entered the league, he relied on this trick to shake Jordan away and achieve that classic shot.

At this time, it was just that Jordan became Hill, and Jordan became Jordan's successor!

"Shua!"

Surprises continue!

Iverson, another mid-range hit!

18 levels!

The Nuggets tied the score!

Carl pumped his fists excitedly on the sidelines.

James failed to achieve the stalemate he hoped for, but Iverson did!

"Defend! Defend!"

At this time, the emotions of the fans at the scene were completely up.

The shouts and cheers at the scene were deafening.

Sun Hao, continue to run without the ball in the frontcourt and try to catch the ball.

And after receiving the ball, he made another difficult turn and shot.

"when!"

However, this time his shot failed to hit!

This is also completely normal.

Although the "difficult shooter" allows him to hit difficult goals in a row for a period of time.

However, not every goal must be scored.

If they all make it, then there is no need to play the game, just let Sun Hao throw a three-pointer at the basket in the backcourt!

Camby grabbed the defensive rebound, and the Nuggets played back and forth at high speed!

Iverson received a pass from James during the fast break. Seeing that Hill retreated and closed the basket in time, he directly made a mid-range shot from the frontcourt during the fast break.

The choice of this ball is not particularly good, because it is easy to be scolded by the coach in a basketball game for such things as fast break shots.

"Shua!"

but!

As long as you can make it, you can do whatever you want!

Iverson scored 6 points in a row!

20 to 18!

Nuggets, go-ahead!

At this moment, not only the scene, but also the eyes of many fans in front of the TV had some uncontrollable redness.

This is 2007, not the time in 2000.

Seven years later, Iverson can still play this kind of carry performance.

Ye Qing back!

The situation began to fall towards the Nuggets!

In the frontcourt of the Lakers, Sun Hao continued to run out to catch off-ball shots.

This time he moved faster.

After missing a tough shot, he's now looking for better shots.

Hill sees the opportunity to pass the ball.

"Snapped!"

However, the moment he passed the ball, a figure rushed out like lightning, and took the ball away with one stroke!

Iverson, or Iverson!

Sun Hao tried his best to chase after seeing it, but he soon found that he could not catch up.

Iverson's full sprint speed is too fast!

All that remained in front of him was the No. 3 jersey that fluctuated with the running, and...

The same short back as when he first entered the league.
