Chapter 306: Dancing with God!
Hamilton finally failed to get rid of Sun Hao.
It's not that he can't run, if he can, he can spit Sun Hao away.
But the problem is that the Wizards' blocking and dismantling is not good for Sun Hao.
Sun Hao is like a ghost, always able to dodge the block, and then cling to him.
The whole league said that Sun Hao's defense was average, but it seems that he also scored the ball, at least without the ball, Sun Hao, who came out of Europe, is definitely not bad.
Yao Ming finally chose to give the ball to Alexander, who cut in the air, and the latter's layup was interfered with by Bodiloga and the rebound was also won by Bodiloga.
The Wizards' offense has been defended!
Old Nelson couldn't help but smile on the sidelines and adjust his sitting position.
In the third year of his career, Sun Hao really kept creating surprises for him.
Maybe no one else noticed, only he, the head coach, would look at the technical statistics after the game.
So far in the finals, the best person in the Mavericks is not Nowitzki, who just won the regular season MVP, but Sun Hao!
It sounds incredible, but as it happens, Sun Hao is completely in charge of the game.
The Mavericks pushed the defense to counterattack again, and Sun Hao directly assisted Bodi Loga in the fast attack, and the latter took off and scored in the air!
7 to 12!
The difference was stretched to 5 points!
Jordan, my hands are itchy anymore.
He wants to have a big fight with Sun Hao now.
But Oakley's words kept ringing in his ears again, including those words that Sun Hao had said to him before.
This is very much like another pit that Sun Hao dug for him.
Endure! He's got to hold back!
Jordan was still contained, and Yao Mingce should pass to Leitner, who made a mid-range shot with a false flick...... Or not!
The Wizards are in a scoring drought.
But at this moment, Yao Ming turned around and jumped up and picked up the offensive rebound above Dampier's head!
And he didn't wait for Dampier to react, he just wiped the ball into the basket!
9 to 12!
This two points are very thirst-quenching!
Sun Hao really understood Yao Ming very well, and after Dampier said something like that, Yao Ming's outburst was almost inevitable.
At the end of the first quarter, the score on the court was 27-22, and the Mavericks took the lead.
Jordan barely attacked in this quarter, and Hamilton was also very well limited by Sun Hao, but Yao Ming scored 12 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists in this quarter, playing a dominant performance.
On the other hand, Dampier on the Mavericks' side only contributed 3 rebounds and 1 block, and he has not scored yet.
Although the roles of the two sides are different, there is no direct comparison in the data.
But in fact, there are a lot of direct confrontations between the two on the court, which already says a lot.
"It's really no surprise that this Mavericks team has come this far, and they're a historic team."
On the commentary seat, Cole was still there.
"Yes, they were too quick to respond."
Although Kenny Smith didn't know what Cole was doing, he nodded in agreement.
The Mavericks' performance against the wind was more eye-catching than in the previous two games.
While the two were talking, the game had started in the second quarter, and both sides were playing with the main force and substitutes.
Mobley and Hamilton led the team on one side, and Bodi Loga and Van Exel on the other.
The two sides are still evenly matched.
Sun Hao sat down next to Dampier.
In the current situation, whether the Mavericks can pull away the score, the key point is really the confrontation between Dampier and Yao Ming.
"Eric, in my mind, you're the best center outside of Shaq."
In the first quarter of the game, Dampier was beaten a little out of temper by Yao Ming, and Sun Hao was trying to re-boost his morale.
Although Dampier's technical characteristics make it difficult for him to gain an advantage against Yao Ming, after Sabonis's injury, the Mavericks have no one but him.
Dampier was stunned for a moment, and this time he himself didn't believe what Sun Hao said.
"Reason Yao out of the forbidden area, don't try to block it easily, you can prevent him."
Sun Hao did not dwell on the previous issue, but directly said the details that need to be paid attention to in Dampier game.
It is unrealistic to let Dampier suddenly open up the second line of Ren Du to prevent Yao Ming from death, but it is completely possible to let him restrict Yao Ming's play.
After all, Yao Ming is only in the second grade, and his weight gain is not yet complete.
"Are you sure?"
Dampier was really beaten and a little doubtful of life.
"Definitely, did you forget that I was on the national team with him?"
Sun Hao continued.
Dampier nodded, and after taking a deep breath, his self-confidence came back a lot.
Sun Hao then told Dampier a lot of Yao Ming's current technical details.
Just like sacrificing Nowitzki for the Chinese team to win the championship, now for the Mavericks to win the championship, they can only sacrifice Yao Ming!
After the second quarter of the substitute transition, the score on the court was 35-31, and the two sides were still inseparable.
Van Gundy and Nelson Sr. both wanted to break the deadlock, and both invariably replaced their main players early.
Coming up to the Wizards to attack, Yao Ming continued to respond to the free throw line, and Sun Hao also continued to chase Hamilton without giving a chance.
Yao Ming glanced at Jordan and was ready to choose to attack by himself.
However, it was at this point that he noticed that Dampier's defense had changed a lot, and he was no longer defending him as early as he was in the first quarter.
This made him a little unsure.
In fact, everyone has weaknesses, and Yao Ming certainly has them.
Because his height is basically taller than his opponent, he likes to rely on defenders and hang his weight on the opponent to force the opponent to sink his weight.
As long as the defender does this, he can turn and pass in an instant.
As for some people, even if they can react and retreat, but when the center of gravity is unstable, they can still get rid of it through their feet.
This kind of scene must be common to those who have watched Yao Ming's NBA games.
So Dampier's defensive style at this time made him a little uncontrollable.
He turned and walked to the basket, and Dampier began to fight for the spot.
In the end, he relied on Dampier's shot to bounce out of the frame, and the rebound was also under Dampier's hand.
When he retreated, he unconsciously looked at Sun Hao.
With his double business, he could quickly guess that it was Sun Hao who gave Dampier some advice.
Well, it's like the way they did with Nowitzki at the World Championships.
However, this is also part of the competition.
On the court, as long as it's not a malicious foul, it's all about winning.
Yao Ming's play was limited to a certain extent, Hamilton was chased by Sun Hao for a few streets and had no chance to shoot, and the Wizards' score was still blank for a while.
On the other hand, on the Mavericks' side, although Sun Hao didn't attack much, Nowitzki and Bodi Loga played steadily.
At halftime, the Mavericks stretched the margin to 13 points at 58-45.
Yao Ming scored 19 points and 7 rebounds in the half, but his two fists were difficult to beat with four hands.
Trailing by 13 points heading into the second half, the result was certainly not a good thing for the fans in attendance, but they were not so depressed.
Because Jordan hasn't played yet.
Although not everyone can understand the open and secret battles between the two sides on the court like Barkley and Cole, they have all experienced such games!
Before the Eastern Conference finals grabbed seven Nets, it was Jordan who broke out in the second half and led the team to reverse the game.
You can do it once, and of course you have the opportunity to do it a second time!
Coming back in the second half, neither side made any changes to their starting lineups.
Van Gundy is not Phil Jackson or Popovich, and his response is usually only on the court and between the courts.
Coming up, the Mavericks attacked first, and Nowitzki borrowed Dampier to cover and pocket it was a mid-range shot.
"Phew!"
The basketball smashes out of the frame.
After such a long break at halftime, it looked like he didn't find his touch all of a sudden.
The ball is exchanged, and the Wizards attack.
Jordan came up and asked for the ball to play singles.
The whole first half almost didn't suffocate him.
He's like he's quitting for a month now, ah no, like a lion who has been starving for a day in a cage, and can't wait to start charging.
Bell was a little overwhelmed.
Whether the 40-year-old Jordan is still the god of basketball has been proven in the first two games.
Jordan pressed Bale to the interior and scored with a wiping board shot that turned in the air.
Although his take-off height is not as high as it was at his peak, turning around at this moment is a bit like flying close to the ground.
But he can still fly!
And this ball is more about the poor rhythm, Bale has the ability, and there is still a lot of room for improvement in experience.
The scene erupted in cheers from the fans.
Their long-awaited god of basketball has finally ended the downtime and is back online!
Nowitzki made a three-point shot at the top of the arc after receiving a pass from Bodiloga...... Or not.
His hand didn't look great in the second half.
Jordan continued to show his basketball god ability in the frontcourt, and after shaking, he made a sharp stop and turned back.
I don't know if it's because he held it for too long, but he was full of strength for this ball, and the moment he turned around, he gave people a feeling of returning to the top.
Bale clearly didn't follow.
Everyone was watching Jordan make a move.
"Huh!"
Amid the cheers of the fans, Jordan hit consecutive shots after returning from the second half!
49 to 58!
The Wizards narrowed the margin to single digits!
"Why, the sun doesn't rise on weekends?"
After scoring the goal, Jordan looked at Sun Hao with a smile while chewing gum.
"The time hasn't come yet."
Sun Hao said and pointed to his wrist.
A head-to-head PK between two trash talk masters.
When people in the future look back on this classic finals, the trash talk between Sun Hao and Jordan is also a big topic for them to talk about.
Sun Hao dribbled to the front court again, and Nowitzki took the initiative to give him a block, and when he blocked and dismantled, he also signaled Sun Hao to attack with his eyes.
Nowitzki is not Kobe, and after noticing that he has a bad hand, his first choice is to let Sun Hao attack.
The Splash Brothers and the OK duo are the two extremes of the league's top duo.
Sun Hao understood, and he quickly retreated after opening it.
By the time the Wizards' defense reacted, he had already got a shot from beyond the three-point line.
Even though it was a metre away from the three-point line, it wasn't a chance for anyone else.
However, he is Sun Hao!
After an adjusted ultra-long three-point shot, Sun Hao's shot made the fans on the scene goosebumps.
"Huh!"
Then with a crunch, their goosebumps fell to the ground.
Retreating, super far, these have become synonymous with Sun Hao!
49 to 61!
The point difference was re-opened to 12 points!
"Michael, the sun will always rise."
After scoring the goal, Sun Hao looked at Jordan calmly and said.
Trash talk between the two can be a series.
Jordan wasn't angry either.
I don't know why, after Oakley told him those things, he no longer regarded Sun Hao as a "junior", but as an "opponent", and the opponents like Barkley, Ma Long, and Olajuwon before.
This change in perception made him no longer angry with what Sun Hao said, but enjoyed it very much.
Because he really, hasn't felt this way in a long time.
Moreover, this feeling also put him in a state of immersion.
The Wizards' frontcourt offense, Jordan came out to catch the ball by covering.
Bell's dismantling was very good, but Jordan's sense of rhythm exploded, and he shook a little bit to fly Bell before making a shot.
"Huh!"
Jordan only scored 4 points on 4 shots in the first half, but he came back in the second half and had scored 6 points in a row!
"I don't think anyone can stop Michael now."
Kenny Smith exclaimed in the commentary box.
Although there are a lot of people, he can feel that Jordan tonight is different from the past two games.
That calm and calm expression was the first time he had seen Jordan since his comeback.
"But no one can stop Sun."
Cole is the incarnation of the calf tonight blowing.
Although, he is telling the truth.
Because looking back, Sun Hao faked his throw, and he also entered in the face of Yao Ming's throwing!
When Nowitzki didn't feel good, Sun Hao began to stand up again and fight Jordan.
The fans at the scene were also excited.
Now the score is not even their focus.
The god of basketball and the head of the five quarterbacks hand-picked by the god of basketball, the contest between these two is!
Jordan, who played back in the front court and turned to break through Bale's defense, faced Dampier who assisted in the defense, dodged with a lever in the air and completed the shot before falling.
The ball fell obediently into the net bag as if it were equipped with a positioning device.
Jordan, scored 8 points in a row!
And this ball is much more difficult than the previous ones.
God, it's time to dance!
53 to 63!
It's still a 10-point difference!
Sun Hao held the ball again in the frontcourt, and Alexander directly defended at this time, full of aggression.
He still couldn't stop Sun Hao in the first half, and he had to do it in the second half!
Sun Hao was constantly forced off the three-point line.
The referees didn't blow their whistles, on the one hand, this is the home court of the Wizards, and on the other hand, the league needs more intense games.
Sun Hao was forced to the logo position, and there was a good amount of time left to attack.
He didn't try to break forward again, but a quick three-point shot with his crotch to the right and directly stepped on the right edge of the logo.
Alexander struggled to pounce in the air and bumped into Sun Hao.
The referee finally blew the whistle and signaled for Alexander's defensive foul.
But before that, Sun Hao had already completed his shot.
The ball fell towards the basket like a shooting star.
"Huh!"
A heavy voice came through a loudspeaker.
Sun Hao's ultra-far 3+1, hit!
If you can't stop the dance of God, then dance with God!
