Chapter 305: What a surprise! (The second update is here!) Ask for a monthly pass! )
After Olajuwon, Ewing, Mourning, David Robinson and others faded out of the league one after another, the league has entered the era of center withering.
At this time, it has nothing to do with the small-ball era, but because Jordan influenced a generation, those of his fans entered the league, and the swingman began to become mainstream.
If it weren't for O'Neal, you wouldn't be able to find a second center in this league that can be defined as a supergiant.
And in the first two games of the finals, Dampier was able to contribute 15.5 points, 11.5 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game.
As for Yao Ming, although he showed talent, he was only in the second grade, and in the first two games, Jordan made many shots, his statistics were not better than Dampier.
So Dampier was kind of floating.
And it's also very much in line with his character, he has said in history that "I am the second center in the West".
Now he carries O'Neal in the Western Conference semifinals, suppresses David Robinson in the finals, and does not lose to Yao Ming in the finals.
It's not surprising that he would say such a thing.
But that's the point of speaking.
After Sun Hao heard it, he wanted to go over and kick him.
Although the center is withering, but aside from Yao Ming, there is still O'Neal Jr.
And even if you want to say this kind of thing, it's not too late to say it after winning the championship!
With his understanding of Yao Ming's personality very well, Dampier said this, and thought with his toes that Yao Ming would definitely be ruthless in the next game.
Although Yao Ming is only in the second year now, if he really wants to attack, Dampier is a meat shield-type center that is not easy to defend.
This is a direct X-factor for the next game.
In fact, after Dampier said this, many fans were already looking forward to Yao Ming's performance in the next game.
Yao Ming faced the Nets in the Eastern Conference finals before, but he cut 30+10 data.
Just when the fans were paying attention to this, at the same time, another thing was quietly happening.
Steve Cole gave Oakley a call.
The general content is to hope that Oakley can persuade Jordan not to exert his strength in advance.
The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear.
Ross Barkley can see through the game, which means a lot of people can see through it too.
Cole is also one of them.
As a commentator for TNT, he hopes that the game will be more intense and lasting.
As a member of the Bull Dynasty, he didn't want to see the curtain call end in such a bleak way.
As mentioned earlier, Jordan doesn't have many friends, and Oakley and Barkley are the only few.
Jordan won't listen to other people's words, but he can listen to these two people's words.
Barkley is a member of the Mavericks, and he can't help Jordan because that would be tantamount to helping the opponent and cutting off his own championship path.
Oakleigh was the only option.
Oakley agreed.
This former Bulls Dynasty Jordan's royal bodyguard, after Jordan's comeback, he was summoned to the Wizards' veteran and had a private chat with Jordan.
It was only at this time that the great basketball god found himself in Sun Hao's pit.
"This kid!"
He slammed the table angrily.
But then I couldn't help but laugh again.
Well, our basketball god, his strong rebound in emotional intelligence has reached its peak.
He was angry that Sun Hao did this to him, but he was also glad that Sun Hao could do this.
He intentionally or unintentionally put Sun Hao at the head of the five quarterbacks, which attracted a lot of criticism.
After all, Kobe Bryant and Maddy's performance this season is phenomenal.
But now it seems that he did the right thing.
Aside from his skills, Sun Hao's personality and double business are the easiest to succeed.
The meaning of this sentence is that Sun Hao can partner with anyone, which is destined to make him the most likely person to chase after him.
"Let Yao lead the attack."
The day before the start of the third game, Jordan took the initiative to find Van Gundy.
Van Gundy thought he had misheard, and waited until he was sure before he laughed and nodded.
He didn't know what was going on, but for the Wizards, the opportunity to change the series had come!
On June 8, when some domestic fans began to fight for the college entrance examination, the third game of the finals kicked off at the Verizon Center Arena in Washington.
At the opening ceremony before the game, the Wizards first gave the fans a surprise.
Jordan, Hamilton, Alexander, Leitner, Yao Ming.
The Wizards are back with the same point-guard lineup they used at the start of last season.
It's a sign that tonight will be a lot different.
Yao Ming still had a chance to jump first for the Wizards.
After Jordan controlled the ball to the frontcourt, he did not attack by himself, but directly gave the ball to Yao Ming at the free throw line.
Yao Ming responded with his back to the basket at the free throw line, made a fake pass to Hamilton, and suddenly turned to the basket to kill.
Dampier quickly stepped back, but Yao Ming was much faster than him.
And what is more critical is the footsteps, Yao Ming hit the basket and turned around, and Dampier couldn't come back.
With another light small hook under the basket, Yao Ming steadily sent the ball into the basket and won the first place for the Wizards.
The scene instantly erupted in cheers from Wizards fans.
Dampier boasted that he was the league's second-best center, clearly not taking Yao Ming seriously.
As a result, as soon as the game began, Yao Ming made the most positive response!
And I don't know if it's because of the return to the home court, Jordan took the lead, and the Wizards' defense was obviously better than the first two games.
Nowitzki's mid-range shot after the pick-and-roll was interfered with and deflected off the basket, and the rebound was collected by Yao Ming.
When it advanced to the frontcourt, Jordan continued to give the ball to Yao Ming.
Completely different from the past two games, Jordan really played as a playmaker this time.
Sun Hao didn't expect it.
He knew that Dampier's words would stimulate Yao Ming, but how did Jordan suddenly crawl out of the pit?
Although Jordan likes Yao Ming more, it is impossible for Jordan's character to change himself for Yao Ming.
There must have been something going on that he didn't know about.
"Michael, are you tired?"
Sun Hao tried to trash talk provocation against Jordan.
However, Jordan, whose emotional intelligence has returned to its peak, is immune to Sun Hao's trash talk.
He already knew what Sun Hao wanted to do, so naturally he wouldn't jump into the pit again.
Yao Ming continued to respond, and once again showed himself, only this time it was not his footsteps but a soft touch.
He hit the ball steadily with a small step-back jumper after turning.
The cheers of the fans rang out again.
Yao Ming scored 4 points in a row in the opening game, and this kind of action response was domineering.
On the other hand, the Mavericks were a little stunned by the Wizards' continuous adjustments.
"See, this is my partner's big man."
Jordan was in a good mood, chewing gum and saying to Sun Hao with a smile.
This time it was Sun Hao's turn to feel MMP in his heart.
Of course, he knows how good Yao Ming is, and he has already experienced it when he represented the Chinese team in the World Championships before.
But now Yao Ming is Jordan's teammate......
He really wanted to beat Dampier up.
Just played like the first two games, and swept the Wizards 4-0 to win the championship, isn't it fragrant? You have to make it harder!
Now it's okay, Yao Ming is the main offense, Jordan is not reckless, the Wizards find their best way to play, and the outcome becomes suspenseful.
What a pig teammate!
Sun Hao...... Turning around and shaking off Alexander's step-back three-point shot!
Although he complained about Dampier in his heart, because of this adjustment of the Wizards, it was impossible for him to hand over the victory.
Even if the Wizards do this, at most they will only have the capital to really fight the Mavericks!
And that's exactly what he wants. 53 Chinese Net
Playing strategy before, easily defeating the Wizards team to complete the [Legacy of the Gods], that is naturally the best thing.
But now it is not bad to have a chance to beat Jordan head-on!
The so-called [Inheritance of the Gods] is the only way to be worthy of its honor!
Yao Ming continued to respond in the frontcourt, and this time he passed the ball to Leitner in the bottom corner, but the latter's three-point shot was missed.
Dampier protected the defensive rebound, and the Mavericks advanced to the frontcourt to continue playing.
Sun Hao tried to block with Nowitzki, but Alexander's defense did improve a lot, and he was not blocked by continuous bypasses.
The tactics failed and there was not much time left to attack, and Nowitzki was finally forced to pull Leitner away to Sun Hao for space to play alone.
"Come on! Come on! ”
At this moment, Alexander sank down and clapped his palms and shouted at Sun Hao, his eyes full of war.
There was so much to watch in this game that many people overlooked him and Leitner, two former Mavericks teammates.
Especially him, the Mavericks who entered the league with Sun Hao in the first round of the show.
When he was in Dallas, he and Sun Hao went toe-to-toe, and then Sun Hao robbed him of his time.
After arriving at the Wizards, he finally found his position, and now he is holding his breath to prevent Sun Hao from dying.
He failed his first two away games and now he's back at home and he's going to prove himself in front of the home fans.
Sun Hao didn't know that Alexander was thinking so much.
He didn't have time to focus on that, he didn't have much time to attack, he just thought about how to score the ball.
His continuous shaking attempts, Alexander was not shaken, and the latter has really improved defensively in the past two years.
However, Sun Hao made a move to look at the frame, and he still pounced.
Sun Hao's shooting, especially after entering the Western Finals, has reached a different level, and the defenders dare not give a trace of space at all.
Sun Hao bowed his head suddenly, and an acceleration rushed directly past him!
With the increase in projection threat, he is now playing with a lot of agility!
When he broke into the free throw line and saw that Yao Ming was about to come out, Sun Hao chose to throw between the lines.
But just as he jumped, he caught a glimpse of someone behind him trying to block it.
Alexander!
This guy didn't give up his defense after being squeezed by him, and chased after him!
The two had a direct physical confrontation in the air, but Sun Hao showed his small steel cannon attributes, and he was stunned that he was not hit.
Looking at this scene, the gif of Jordan being hit by a layup but maintaining his balance in the air immediately came to mind.
When the referee's whistle blew, Sun Hao still threw the ball steadily in the air.
"Huh!"
Ball hollow bag.
Sun Hao, in an extremely tough way, scored this throw!
Moreover, it's still 2+1!
The scene was in an uproar.
"Incredible!"
On the commentary seat, Cole's mouth was shocked.
What Sun Hao didn't know was what he did.
Yao Ming started with the main offense, and Jordan made a force in the second half, which was the winning mode of the Wizards.
Especially in the first game at home, the Wizards' sudden adjustment is sure to catch the Mavericks off guard.
Or to put it another way, theoretically, the Wizards should be able to rely on this change to get the game.
However......
Sun Hao's opening performance vividly interprets what is special called surprise!
Although he was caught off guard at the beginning, after Sun Hao's penalty was also scored, the score on the field was 6-5!
Sun Hao personally scored 6 points to help the Mavericks take the lead!
Yao Ming singled Dampier in the frontcourt, but this time his shot was off the mark.
After all, this is only Yao Ming in the second grade, and it is impossible to be as accurate as he was at his peak.
Bodi Loga recovered the defensive rebound, and the Mavericks went straight on the defensive counterattack.
Sun Hao received a long pass in the fast break, dodged Hamilton's foul, and skated and then picked up the ball to score.
8 to 5!
He scored 8 points in a row in the opening game!
And after scoring this time, Sun Hao clenched his hands into fists and roared.
The Mavericks' bench was boiling, and the players on the court were also excited.
Sun Hao's continuous performance has completely pulled them out of the stunned state at the beginning.
"Michael, do you think your team can make it to the second half without you?"
When Sun Hao passed by Jordan in the retreat, he followed and spoke.
This sentence hits the soul.
Although Sun Hao didn't know what was going on, he had already guessed the Wizards' adjustment from a series of changes in the opening game.
Let Yao Mingce dominate the ball, stalemate with the Mavericks at halftime, and then wait until the second half for Jordan to come out and harvest.
It sounds perfect.
But to do all this, even if Jordan can reap the harvest, it is also a question whether the Wizards can hold on to the halftime.
Jordan hangs up over there, but there are a lot of people on the Mavericks' side!
Jordan didn't answer, and neither could he.
He can now only choose to trust his teammates.
Hamilton runs off the ball and receives a pass from Yao Ming.
"Huh!"
Same hit!
8 to 7!
The score, in a stalemate.
"Raga, let's change the guard."
Sun Hao turned his head and shouted to Bell.
From the Mavericks' point of view, if whether the first two games can be won depends on whether the team can bite the score in the first half, then whether they can win tonight depends on whether the team can pull away in the first half.
The Mavericks don't have a shortage of scoring points, so the question becomes whether they can stop the Wizards from scoring.
Jordan doesn't attack, and the Wizards mainly have two scoring points, one is Yao Ming, and the other is Hamilton.
Sun Hao held the ball to the frontcourt, he did not attack like before, but gave the ball to Bodi Loga to organize.
Bodiloga burst into the frontcourt to Nowitzki, who faked a real shot and made a layup inside.
This time he caused a defensive foul on Yao Ming.
Yao Ming knows him, and he knows Yao Ming.
Maybe he lost in the last round, but he won't lose all the time.
He scored two goals in a safe way.
10 to 7.
Now it's up to who can break the deadlock on the pitch first.
Yao Ming continued to respond to the free-throw line in the frontcourt, and Hamilton also continued to cover the run.
It has to be said that Jordan really trained Hamilton into a super off-ball scorer.
And Van Gundy also really designed tactics for Hamilton, and behind this series of runs, there are blocks and dismantles one after another.
But!
Sun Hao has bypassed them all!
Compared with the single defense ability, Sun Hao is definitely inferior to Bell now.
But better than chasing defense without the ball, Sun Hao is better!
The silver-level "Demolition Dodge" badge, which he trained hard to develop when he was in Europe!
This is also the reason why he changed guards with Sun Hao.
Hamilton is a top scorer off the ball, but never a strong ball-handling scorer!
