I am so Accurate

Eight hours before the start of the Western Conference Finals, Durant arrived at the Oakland Arena early for shooting training.

Although he was thinking about the finals when communicating with Sun Hao, he also knew that before that, he had to overcome the Clippers.

Last year, on the stage of the Western Conference Finals, Sun Hao helped him grow and assisted him in completing his first buzzer-beating goal in the playoffs.

But in the end, in the G6 arena, the Clippers still eliminated the Warriors.

Although the media after the game had very good evaluations of the Warriors, including him, and felt that they had done a good job as a young team.

After all, the last season was strictly Kobe's season, and what they lost to was the final championship.

But if you lose, you lose. Durant's heart is here. Although he will not say "we are the number one loser", his first goal is definitely to win back.

Of course, motivation is also pressure. Coming to training early is to prepare for the game and to release the pressure in advance.

After he practiced for a while, Sun Hao also came.

The two people were stunned for a moment when they saw each other, and then they both laughed in unison.

Sun Hao didn't expect Durant to come earlier than him, and Durant didn't expect Sun Hao to come earlier.

And they laughed together because this behavior showed that they all felt pressured by the game that night.

"Will we win?"

When the training was almost over, the two of them sat on the sidelines to rest. Durant looked at Sun Hao seriously and asked.

This question is very true.

After all, they were facing the defending champion, the strongest opponent in the league. He wanted to win, but when it came to confidence in winning, he was definitely useless.

But even in front of Sun Hao, he would ask so straightforwardly.

"Do the best you can and leave the rest to me."

Sun Hao said calmly.

He didn't say much, but after hearing this, Durant felt his confidence surge.

Yes, with Sun Hao here, he shouldn't have such doubts!

Last year, he didn't give Sun Hao enough help, but it won't happen this year. They will definitely win!

There is still more than an hour before the game starts, and the fans at Oracle Arena are already packed.

From the eyes of the fans, you can see something called anticipation, which is of course also mixed with a bit of nervousness.

The fans' mood is similar to Durant's before. They expect the Warriors to get revenge this year, but at the same time they are a little worried that the Warriors can't beat them.

Half an hour before the start of the game, the arena was already packed, and fans all wore yellow T-shirts distributed to their seats by the arena.

The scene was a sea of ​​yellow.

Players from both sides also entered the venue one after another at this time.

Sun Hao completed his daily channel three-pointer before entering the court.

Perhaps because he came to the field to train in advance, his touch seems to be very good, and he can hit the target with every hit.

Sun Hao's excellent touch also attracted a burst of cheers from the Warriors fans at the scene.

One very interesting thing is that since Sun Hao started shooting tunnel three-pointers, some fans have calculated the relationship between this tunnel three-pointer and the Warriors' victory or defeat.

Fans found that as long as Sun Hao hits the ball with one hit, the probability of winning is as high as 90% or more.

Although this does not mean that the Warriors will definitely win tonight, it is undoubtedly a very positive sign.

The tension in many fans' eyes dissipated.

Sun Hao is the best sea-fixing needle!

After Sun Hao shot a three-pointer, he ran onto the court. It was at this time that he immediately looked towards the Clippers.

Those familiar figures really felt like a sense of familiarity to him from "past and present life".

Especially since this is his second time playing against this team.

A question many people will ask is which year of the Lakers team composed of the Lakers and Gasol was the strongest in history.

Most of the answers for fans who watched football in those years would be the 2009-10 season.

That Lakers team reached the Finals three times in a row starting in 2008.

In the first year, they lost to the Big Three of the Celtics. In the second year, they easily defeated the Magic to win the championship. In the third year, that is, in the 2009-10 season, they played seven games with the Celtics. The final tiebreaker was thrilling at the last minute. Win the game.

Among them, there are two consecutive championships. The biggest difference is that the starting small forward has changed from Ariza to Artest.

That year's finals would later be regarded by many fans as one of the most exciting finals in NBA history.

So now, the Warriors are facing a plus version of such a team.

Very difficult.

But precisely because of the difficulty, Sun Hao felt inexplicably excited.

At his current stage, just like those famous masters in martial arts novels, only strong opponents will make him have the desire to draw his sword.

There was no communication between the two teams before the game, including Kobe, who did not come up to say hello to Sun Hao.

It's obvious that both teams take this series very seriously.

The game hadn't even started yet, but the tense atmosphere before the game had already reached its peak.

This is a game destined to be full of sparks.

Just when the fans seemed to be able to smell the smoke, a close-up of the audience was shown.

James, Wade and Anthony went to the sidelines to watch the game.

All three have concluded their respective postseason seasons.

However, because they had many rumors before, this scene will inevitably make people think about it.

Of course, this was just an episode. After both sides finished warming up, the scene entered the opening ceremony, and the starting lineups of the two teams were announced.

Clippers: Sun Yue, Kobe Bryant, Artest, Gasol, Bynum.

Warriors: Sun Hao, McGrady, Durant, Ibaka, Oden.

On the Clippers side, Sun Yue has pushed the aging Yu Yu to the bench with his excellent defense and stable three-pointers.

For the Warriors, Nelson deliberately slowed down and put McGrady, who had performed well in the previous series, into the starting lineup.

This tit-for-tat formation of troops added to the already tense atmosphere.

Amid the cheers of the fans, the starting players of both teams appeared one after another.

Bynum and Oden's jump ball in the center circle.

In last year's playoffs, Bynum knocked out Landry's three front teeth with one elbow. Not to mention the fans, the Warriors players still remember it very well.

Oden is also working hard.

As soon as the referee's whistle sounded, he jumped up and returned the ball to half court.

After Sun Hao got the ball, he gave it to McGrady, and the Warriors got the opportunity to attack first!

McGrady controls the ball to the frontcourt. Although he plays a shooting guard, his role in this game is more like a point guard.

But this is what Nelson thinks. Letting Tracy McGrady share Sun Hao's organizational pressure will allow Sun Hao to devote more energy to scoring.

The Clippers started with man-to-man defense, with Kobe Bryant guarding McGrady and Sun Yue guarding Sun Hao.

This is very interesting, the confrontation between two Chinese national team teammates on the field.

Sun Yue is a disciple of Sun Hao Zhenger Bajing and is very familiar with Sun Hao. At this time, when defending without the ball, he not only sticks to his body but also uses his body to fight Sun Hao within the rules.

This is not just to defend, but also to consume Sun Hao's physical energy as much as possible.

This defensive strategy is obviously learned from Kobe, and it is also correct.

Sun Hao started to move without the ball, using Ibaka and Oden to cover continuously. He quickly got rid of Sun Yue and got a good chance to catch the ball in the high post and mid-range.

It's not that the Clippers' defense has a problem, but that the quality of Ibaka and Oden's off-ball pick-and-rolls is very high!

Compared with last year, the Warriors' two insiders have also improved greatly in all aspects of their abilities!

McGrady is acting like a rogue when he is a "point guard" because he is too tall, and height means vision.

And although he does not have Nash's sense of passing, as a former super scorer, he knows very well when the ball is most appropriate.

Sun Hao had just come out of the pocket, and McGrady's pass had already arrived.

Running, catching the ball, shooting, all in one go.

"Uh-huh!"

There was a crisp sound, and Sun Hao's first shot, which was also the Warriors' first shot tonight, hit the net!

There is no too complicated tactic, but the Warriors played the most exciting cooperation on the court! !

Oracle Arena instantly fell into a boil.

Such an opening is so cool!

The camera panned to the Clippers bench, where head coach Dunleavy stood up from the bench.

Although it was only one round, he could feel that the Warriors were in good shape tonight.

In the transition between offense and defense, Sun Yue controlled the ball to the frontcourt, and then gave the ball to Gasol in the high post.

Although the lineup is very similar to the Lakers in history, due to different coaches, the difference in playing style is still relatively large.

The Clippers don't play triangles, they rely more on Gasol's high wings and Kobe Bryant's high and low singles.

This is also a key reason why Sun Yue can replace Fisher.

Because Gasol can organize and support, Sun Yue controls the ball past half court, hands the ball to Gasol and squats in the bottom corner.

In the first round when Gasol held the ball, Kobe took advantage of Bynum and Artest's continuous cover to move.

Kobe's movement restrained most of the Warriors' defense. At this moment, Artest quickly cut to the basket, received Gasol's pass and quickly scored a layup.

This round clearly demonstrated the Clippers' tacit understanding.

This is why the 2010 finals will be called the most exciting finals, because the two teams standing on that stage are already the two most mature teams.

Both teams scored in the first attack at the beginning, and both showed excellent competitive status. This game tonight was full of success.

Sure enough, looking back, when Sun Hao was running to contain him, Durant also cut in and received McGrady's pass and dunked directly!

Gasol had predicted this ball and recovered it in advance, but he couldn't hold up Durant's long arms, and he ended up turning into a gorgeous background board.

Most of the 2.10-meter big men feel very bulky, but Durant is different. This is why he has become a historical scorer.

His movement speed is so powerful that even Gasol can't keep up.

Durant also seemed very excited after dunking, and roared at Gasol after landing.

Before the game, Sun Hao said to let him do the best he can, and this is what he can do!

But here Durant had just finished dunking, and when he turned around, Gasol faked a pass, broke through from the free throw line to the inside, and after confronting Ibaka, he scored on the board!

This sister-in-law is so hard!

4 flat!

Both sides refused to give in a single point!

"Follow your people!"

When the Clippers retreated to halftime, Old Dunleavy started shouting reminders from the sidelines.

The team's offensive performance was fine, but the defensive end allowed the Warriors to score so easily at the beginning, which he couldn't accept.

As soon as he shouted, the Clippers' defensive intensity on the field became obvious.

When there are no ball screens on the court, small confrontations can be seen everywhere. Even Ibaka almost fell into a hug with Kobe when he was covering.

However, the referee on the sidelines had no intention of blowing the whistle. The rules were so loose, which clearly encouraged confrontation.

As a result, at this moment, it started to feel like the 10-year finals.

Sun Hao received the ball and had no chance to shoot directly. He feinted and shot towards the basket.

The Clippers shrank quickly, and Sun Hao and others were heavily surrounded by four people after they broke into the hinterland.

It was at this time that he found the opportunity to distribute the ball to Durant outside the right three-point line.

When Durant caught the ball, it was a good opportunity to take a shot, but when he took the shot, Artest unexpectedly returned to defense and interfered!

A man with his own defensive system!

The fans have been watching intently.

Not to mention scoring goals, this kind of defensive rotation makes people wet.

It is no exaggeration to say that the intensity of the previous rounds is not on the same level as this!

Then, Durant voted directly!

Just pull it out!

Artest couldn't reach Durant even if he stretched out his hand. His starting point was much higher than that of McGrady.

The ball went over Artest's head and swirled around the basket.

The fans at the scene held their breath.

The intensity of the competition in front of them affects their hearts in every move.

"Uh-huh!"

A crisp sound came through the loudspeaker.

Durant hit the Warriors' first three-pointer tonight!

Moreover, it’s a facial!

The cheers at the scene couldn't stop.

Durant's opening performance of 2-for-2 shooting and scoring 5 points was a bit explosive!

Especially with the comparison from last year, this makes fans feel more confident than ever before.

Even taking into account the pick-and-roll quality provided by Ibaka and Oden, these young people on the Warriors have improved a lot compared to last year!

This is the best news for them!

When retreating, Sun Hao also took the initiative to give Durant a high-five.

After all, before the game, he didn't expect Durant to be in such good shape at the beginning. It seems that the Warriors will have a great chance of winning this first game.

Just as he was thinking this, Kobe started to play behind the ball with the ball in the high post.

Kobe No. 24 is different from No. 8. The Warriors don't dare to double-team easily, and Durant defends alone.

Bryant took a dribble, then used the moves he learned from Olajuwon last summer, landing both feet at the same time, then turning around and then turning around again.

There is a reason why Kobe is called Olajuwon's most proud disciple in history, because he not only mastered the essentials, but the key is that his technical actions are very realistic and coherent.

Durant was focused enough, but in the end he was shaken away by Kobe's fake move.

Then when Kobe shook him off for a layup, he reacted and tried to take the risk, but the ball missed and he was charged a foul.

The ball bounced into the basket after being wiped off the board. This ball was a 2+1!

After seeing this, Durant put his head in his hands and shook his head helplessly.

Kobe went to the free throw line and made the extra free throw.

7 flat!

The Clippers tied the score again!

There was a commotion in the place.

Durant's shot just now was so difficult, but looking back, Kobe calmly scored 2+1.

This Clippers team is really incredibly stable!

These rounds also became a microcosm of the first quarter.

The defensive intensity on the field was very high and there were many confrontations, but at the end of the game, both sides found that no one could guard the other.

The condition of both sides is too good to be too good.

By the end of the first quarter, the score was 35-all.

The two teams scored 70 points in one quarter!

The quality of this game is definitely the highest since the playoffs this year!

And in terms of statistics, you may not believe it, but the Clippers played exceptionally well.

Kobe Bryant scored 8 points, Gasol also had 7 points, and Artest scored 6 points.

This is the embodiment of ultimate team basketball.

"We saw another show.time team perform."

Just like commentator Silbring said, the Clippers have played basketball into the way fans like it most.

For the Warriors, Durant was in the most heroic form. He scored 17 points on 7-of-7 shooting in a single quarter.

This was the best he could do, which really shocked Sun Hao.

Facts have proven that it was really worth it for Sun Hao to sacrifice part of his data to help the Warriors grow.

This is the real-life version of "sow a seed in spring and reap a fruit in autumn."

The two teams played evenly in the first quarter, but in the second quarter, Durant's touch began to decline. The Clippers responded quickly and began to attack Sun Hao frantically. The Warriors' offense was obviously not as smooth as it was in the first quarter.

And Kobe began to take over the game on the court.

He came on the bench for more than four minutes in the second quarter, but scored 16 points in this quarter.

Under his leadership, the Clippers also opened the score to double digits 69-58 at halftime.

"We can't deny the Warriors' great performance, but it's clear that the Clippers are a more mature team."

At the end of the half, Miller in the commentary box also gave a summary of the half game.

When they said this, the half-time statistics of the two teams were also given on the spot.

For the Clippers, Kobe Bryant's 24 points were very eye-catching, but Gasol's 13 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists were also very eye-catching.

As for the Warriors, Durant's 20 points and Sun Hao's 17 points scored a lot, but except for the two of them, everyone else's performance was relatively average.

Especially McGrady, who is also the organizer on the court, has only 3 rebounds and 2 assists, and no points.

To put it bluntly, in previous games, McGrady also made achievements on the offensive end, but in this level of confrontation, it will be difficult for him to score.

And passing the ball just for the sake of passing the ball is easy to be targeted.

This is also the key reason why Miller expressed such emotion.

Because the Warriors' strengths and weaknesses are visible to the naked eye, but the Clippers have almost no shortcomings!

It is really difficult to defeat such a team!
