Chapter 251 2001~2002 NBA Championship (8K Big Chapter Asking for a Monthly Pass!) )
“oh! d! ”
The narrator had already stood up, holding his head in disbelief.
Sun Hao, what kind of way did you use to kill the Lakers!
This is not only going down in history, but also going down in history.
No, the classics of the classics!
Such an anti-lore cannot be replicated!
Such a game cannot be replicated either!
Epic battles!
The National Route Center Arena has been boiling.
Cuban jumped straight from the audience into the arena.
Originally, he was already ready to accept that the team would be 2-0 down or even eliminated, including how he would trade next season.
But Sun Hao, in the end, this incredible counter-lore, forcibly pulled the Mavericks back from the edge of the cliff.
One ball of hell, one ball of heaven.
Sun Hao raised his hands as well as Kobe, but the difference was that this time it became the Mavericks players who swarmed up!
And, those crazy fans!
When the crowd dispersed a little, Cuban jumped directly on Sun Hao and gave him a big bear hug.
Thanks to Sun Hao's strength, otherwise he would have been overturned this time.
This boss doesn't look like a boss at all!
Still, it's very down-to-earth!
In the stands, James's mouth had opened into an O-shape after Sun Hao threw that anti-lore three-point shot.
Originally, he thought that Kobe's two goals had been unbelievable enough, but Sun Hao told him that what was special was called a miracle!
Anything can happen before the final whistle blows!
When his mouth closed again, the surging emotions in his heart completely turned into full power.
This is the person he wants to defeat!
The difficulty is endless.
But it is precisely because the more difficult it is, the more motivated he becomes.
If he wants to become the chosen son and become a little emperor, he must overcome everything!
The celebration on the pitch lasted for a while, followed by a post-match handshake.
Bryant quickly finished the handshake and hurried away.
He scored a game-high 39 points on 15-of-33 shooting tonight.
But like his previous 56-point regular season game, he failed to lead the team to victory.
And it's still in the playoffs, and he's certainly not going to be happy.
It was O'Neill, as in the past, who hugged Sun Hao when he shook hands and said something to him.
You deserve this win, and you're looking forward to the next fight or something.
O'Neill, really a good-natured person.
After completing the handshake, Sun Hao met James who came down to the venue.
He looks a lot more mature.
And judging from the smile he showed when he walked over, he shouldn't have realized that the nickname Sun Hao gave him meant non-chief.
"Great game, I'm lucky."
James' words were full of reverence.
At this time, the network information is not developed, and if this is placed in the future, this kind of competition will be blown for at least a summer, no, at least a year.
However, it is precisely because of the underdevelopment of network information that in the future, this game will stay more on the text description, and it will not be so thrilling.
So for James, it's really lucky for him to be able to watch a game like this.
After chatting, Sun Hao glanced at the emptiness of James's hands, and then remembered something.
Although the team won tonight, it happened to be stuck at 99 points, and there was no burrito!
"You wait in the locker room, and I'll introduce you to my teammates."
Sun Hao thought for a while and said.
When James heard this, his face immediately brightened.
He is different from others, and others are worried that getting attention too early will affect their own development.
But in his words, he was confident in his self-control.
If he could, he hoped to be known to the whole nation tomorrow.
Getting to know more NBA players is definitely something he is looking forward to.
After the on-site reporter interview, before going to the press conference, Sun Hao called Battle to his side and asked him to do something.
After that, he and Nelson Sr. attended the post-game press conference.
"Son will be a superstar in the future, he will not be the next Jordan, but he will be the same player as Jordan."
For the first time, in front of the media, the old Nelson praised Sun Hao very much.
Turning the tide is not enough to describe Sun Hao's performance today.
Sun Hao, on the other hand, is still very humble and low-key as before.
"We won ourselves a chance."
For this victory, he only used this answer.
There is nothing wrong with this sentence, the series score is 1-1, and 0-2 are completely two different concepts.
And after the two games are played, the balance of strength is already there, and if the Mavericks want to win the series, they must work harder in the later games to have a chance to seize this opportunity.
At the end of the press conference, when Sun Hao returned to the locker room, Battle had already completed his mission.
He came back with a large box of burritos.
In fact, this thing has always been prepared in the stadium, but sometimes it is sold directly after the game.
Otherwise, it would be really broken, and it would be impossible to make so many to send it for the time being.
Tonight he couldn't, he just asked Battle to buy a lot of them back.
When burritos were moved into the locker room, there was a commotion inside.
This stuff is often distributed on the spot, but their players don't have many opportunities to eat it.
It's also a good idea to refuel after a race.
After waiting for a long time, James came to the Mavericks locker room as Sun Hao said.
From afar, he smelled a familiar smell, and then couldn't help swallowing his saliva, wanting to raise his head and cry out.
The taste of Toco!
Favorite taste!
When he entered the locker room, he looked up and saw a group of big men eating his favorite food there.
He licked his lips unconsciously.
Sun Hao soon saw James as well.
After beckoning him in, he followed up and introduced James to his teammates.
"Introduction, LeBron James, the Chosen One, we will definitely play against him in the NBA in the future."
When Sun Hao introduced, he gave James enough face.
There are good and bad things about black culture in the United States, but the good thing is that it is self-familiar, especially between blacks and blacks.
Sun Hao introduced that the black players of the team quickly went up to greet James.
The rest of Nowitzki and Nash, because of Sun Hao, also politely went up to say hello.
If the matter of communication is divided, James must be king-level.
It wasn't long before he was already chatting with the Mavericks.
"You think highly of him?"
Nowitzki is the first time I've heard Sun Hao use the term "chosen son" to describe others.
"Have you ever seen a high school student with this kind of aura?"
Sun Hao asked with a smile.
Nowitzki shook his head.
This is a rare quality, and interpersonal skills are very important in the basketball world.
That's a lot of good teammates for yourself.
"I've never seen a high school student this old."
Nowitzki continued.
As he said this, he looked at James carefully for a long time.
This guy is really just a high school junior as Sun Hao said?
"Ahem......"
Sun Hao was choked by himself.
Nowitzki's words...... It's so straightforward.
"He's going to start higher than all of us, so be ready to take on his challenges in the future."
Sun Hao smoothed the tone and continued.
Nowitzki was even more surprised this time.
It was the first time he had seen Sun Hao use this kind of evaluation to evaluate a young player.
He couldn't help but look at this James a few more times.
Well, this guy has started eating burritos while chatting with the Mavericks.
This communicative ability is indeed a bit uninteresting.
He turned his head to look at Sun Hao again.
If it is really like what Sun Hao said, James is just a 17-year-old high school student.
By the time James has the ability to challenge them, it will be at least five or six or even seven or eight years later.
I don't know if they were on the same team at that time.
……
Sun Hao's anti-lore recorded in history, after Su Qun's article "The Sun Shoots Through the Dark Clouds, Dallas Reappears at the Dawn" was promoted, it attracted a new wave of fan carnival climax in China.
"Doing what most people can't do, that's called turning the tide, doing things that no one has ever done, that's called creating a legend, and Sun Hao is the creator of the legend."
Such a sentence is even more mentioned by fans.
Defeating the strong with the weak, and winning the big with the small, has always been a good show that fans love to watch.
After tying the score 1-1, the Mavericks regained home-court advantage.
It's just that they need to win at least one of their next two away games to put themselves in the edge of the series.
Before departing for Los Angeles, the NBA league announced the final batch of awards of the season, the league's All-NBA Team and All-Defensive Team.
The Mavericks were not named to the All-Defensive Team, which was to be expected.
With the exception of Finley, the defensive level of the others in their respective positions is at best the league average.
But the best lineup ......
Best Team: Kidd, Kobe, Maddy, Duncan, O'Neal;
Best Second Team: Payton, Iverson, Webb, Nowitzki, Garnett;
Best three formations: Sun Hao, Pierce, O'Neal Jr., Ben Wallace, Mutombo;
Sun Hao has three formations, Nowitzki has two formations!
Both of them were selected for the best team of the season!
This is the best affirmation of the strength of the Mavericks!
With this honor, the Mavericks arrived in Los Angeles to continue their game against the Lakers.
The Mavericks' morale is high, but so are the Lakers.
Kobe Bryant and O'Neal, this is the first time they have been selected for the best team at the same time!
And Kobe Bryant began to significantly reduce his shots.
Even if it was Bell this time, the trash talk offensive couldn't work again.
Although the tree is already large, this is a lemon tree, and it will take some time before it will bloom and bear fruit.
After finding out that he couldn't lead his team to victory with a high score, Bryant compromised.
In fact, during the Lakers' three consecutive championships, Kobe's mentality was extremely struggling and entangled.
He wanted to replace O'Neal as the king of Los Angeles sooner rather than later, but he couldn't lead the team to victory alone.
So what he did, in addition to constantly challenging O'Neill's position, was also training himself like a devil.
Because he knows that only stronger strength can solve the fundamental problem.
However, he will still compromise when he should compromise, which is a very important reason why the Lakers can complete the dynasty in history.
In the face of such an OK combination, the Mavericks' internal strength is too bad.
O'Neal scored 30+ in two consecutive games, including 40 points and 20 rebounds in one game.
In fact, this year in history, O'Neal averaged 36+16+4+3 points per game in the finals.
The peak shark after weight gain is much more terrifying than imagined.
The Mavericks also lost two games in a row and returned to Dallas with a score of 1-3.
With such a score and such a lineup comparison, even Kerr analyzed it on TNT's show, and the Mavericks could only win one more game at most before they were eliminated.
It was against this backdrop that the Mavericks played a back-to-back game at home.
In the frenzied cheers of Dallas fans, the Mavericks fought hard to withstand O'Neal's offensive on the inside.
In the whole game, O'Neal only scored 20+ points, and he was also made of a rare mental imbalance, leaving the game with 6 fouls early.
And Kobe Bryant's hand was cold, and the Lakers never opened the situation.
In the end, the Mavericks defeated the Lakers 97-83 at home, changing the score to 2-3.
"They've done a good enough job."
Cole described it in this way on the TNT show.
"But the Lakers will win the series at home."
He went on to add.
As with the previous series between the Mavericks and Spurs, Game 6 will be the Lakers' last home court.
If the Lakers can't take it, they'll have to go to Dallas and the Mavericks to tie seven.
This is also the basis for his previous judgment that the Mavericks will be eliminated if they win one more game.
However, the process and result of this game were all beyond everyone's expectations.
After the second game, the two teams once again played an epic battle.
And unlike the second game, this game has one more adjective: tragic.
From the opening to the final three minutes of the game, the difference between the two teams did not exceed 5 points.
On the Mavericks' side, Lafrentz and Battle were all beaten to 6 fouls.
On the Lakers' side, Walker and Fox also made 6 fouls in the final moments.
However, that's not all.
Fierce physical confrontation brought not only fouls, but also injuries.
On the Lakers' side, Fox was reimbursed for the season with a fractured vertebrae.
On the Mavericks' side, Sun Hao also dislocated his finger in the fourth quarter, and after emergency treatment, he tied his fingers and continued to play.
And then, that's not even the best part.
The best part was that Sun Hao took over the game in the final moments of the fourth quarter.
That injured finger seemed to have turned on the switch of his gods.
He hit consecutive ultra-long three-point shots and directly hit a wave to take away the game!
After the game, he got his first 40+ in the NBA playoffs!
Such a performance made Cole, who was commentator on the spot, admit that he was slapped in the face, and used words like "Sun Hao in the sixth game of the playoffs is immeasurable".
At this time, the fans also remembered the nickname that Sun Hao had before.
G6 Sun!
Last year's game against the Spurs, Sun Hao had already proven it.
In the new year, he is reinforcing the impression on everyone!
The race was then forcibly taken back to Dallas.
It is worth mentioning that after the game, many members of the Mavericks did not celebrate, sitting on the bench and gasping for air.
Sun Hao even stretched his legs to prevent cramps with the help of the team doctor.
In this game, although the Mavericks won, the consumption was far greater than everyone imagined.
The tiebreaker was fought in Dallas.
Sun Hao drank a small injury recovery drink, but because of the short interval between games, the recovery will not be so fast.
He played with his finger fixtures strapped.
Just like the last game, the Mavericks started the game hard.
Despite both O'Neal and Bryant's good form, the Mavericks trailed by single digits at halftime.
Their performances left the home fans in awe.
But in the second half, the Lakers still slowly pulled the score away.
In the end, the Mavericks lost to the Lakers 87-98 and ended their season.
When the final whistle blew, the Mavericks players were in a state of frustration.
However, the fans all stood up and applauded and cheered for the players.
The Kings were able to tie seven with the Lakers, and the configuration was much better than that of the Mavericks.
This Mavericks team played the Lakers to this point despite being obviously at a disadvantage on the inside, and played two epic battles to the last minute, which is moving enough.
Winning or losing is not the only criterion for a team's failure or success in a season.
Strengthen the interior, and the Mavericks can expect next season.
At the final handshake, Kobe and O'Neal also expressed their respect to Sun Hao.
When playing the Kings, all kinds of penalties are restricted, and it is the Kings who are uncomfortable, and the Lakers are also uncomfortable.
But the series with the Mavericks was hearty.
"I'm waiting to fight you guys next year."
Kobe Bryant is even more rare to say such a thing.
As Sun Hao understands, he wants to win, but he also wants to improve himself by playing against stronger opponents.
Sun Hao and the Mavericks, in his heart, are the opponents who are stronger than the king.
"I find that I like you."
O'Neill is even more blunt.
Although he knew that what O'Neill said about liking was that kind of appreciation, Sun Hao was still surprised.
In fact, until now, he has not understood why O'Neill has frequently shown favor to him.
But he just lost, and he didn't have the heart to think too much.
After O'Neill and Sun Hao finished chatting, they watched Sun Hao turn around and walk towards the players' tunnel, with a slightly lonely back, and he was also very emotional in his heart.
At the beginning, he had a good impression of Sun Hao because of some special reasons.
But slowly, as the game became more and more played, he discovered one thing, Sun Hao, was tailor-made for him!
Just like the sentence that Sun Hao asked him when he visited the White House during the All-Star Game: Shaq, do you want to have the Pacific Ocean?
There were so many people around him that he couldn't answer.
But how could he not want to!
I've dreamed of it!
If you don't believe it, go to the sea and catch a big shark and ask it if it likes the sea or the Pacific Ocean.
Guaranteed they won't say a word!
Sun Hao's three-point containment can really make him have absolutely enough offensive space under the basket!
Especially, in the presence of contrasts.
Kobe Bryant is very strong, and he will never doubt that.
This is also the reason why Kobe Bryant shot crazy on the outside, and he didn't say that he had a complete falling out.
Because Kobe Bryant can really keep putting the ball in the basket sometimes.
So just like with the Mavericks series, he's going to keep accommodating Kobe.
But in fact, sometimes, the most unacceptable thing about Kobe Bryant is that this guy is constantly trying to attack from the low post!
Especially after the development of the back hit this year, this trend is becoming more and more obvious.
This puts his space under the basket to a huge stretch.
That's what makes him the most unhappy.
Sun Hao wanted to give him the Pacific Ocean, but Kobe Bryant drove him directly to the Mediterranean!
And Sun Hao's three-point containment is both with and without the ball, which is unprecedented in history!
In addition, Sun Hao's key ball ability is much more stable than Kobe!
Not to mention other times, take the season between the two teams as an example, Sun Hao's hit rate of key balls is higher than Kobe.
So even if Sun Hao's overall strength is not as good as Kobe Bryant, in terms of the fit with his partner, Sun Hao beats Kobe.
And Sun Hao's fighting spirit, reflected from this series, is no worse than Kobe's!
Even, Sun Hao loves to pass the ball more than Kobe!
It's no exaggeration.
If Sun Hao swapped Kobe Bryant now, he would not only have the confidence to play three in a row, but even four or five in a row!
This is by no means bragging!
Of course, just like he can only look at Sun Hao's back now.
In fact, he can only think about these in his heart.
The Lakers are unlikely to trade Kobe, and the Mavericks are unlikely to trade Sun Hao.
The beauty in his imagination can only be YY in the end.
……
At the press conference after the game, Sun Hao's mood was not very high.
It was Nowitzki who uttered that classic quote on his behalf.
What does not defeat you will make you strong.
They lost to Spurs last year, were not knocked down, and then managed to get revenge this year.
Then they will not be defeated if they lose to the Lakers this year.
Wait until next year, they still have a chance to get revenge on the Lakers.
Each defeat pushes them to become stronger until they succeed.
……
Before the Lakers and Mavericks playoffs ended, the Eastern Conference and Western Conference finals had ended early.
The result of the East Decisive was unexpected by everyone, including Sun Hao's.
Because in the end, it was the Celtics who won.
After Jordan beat Pierce, the Wizards took a 1-0 lead, and everyone felt that the Wizards' promotion was a certainty.
But in fact, in the second game, the Celtics pulled one back at home.
Yao Ming is still a rookie after all, and his performance is not stable.
Carlisle also showed what he was capable of as a best coach, using Pierce to defend Mobley in the second game.
Mobley is also very limited in his ability to play against Pierce, who is tall and moves well.
Mobley was restricted, and Jordan had to step up and score in regulation time, which was a lot of physical drain on him.
So even though Jordan was still playing steadily, the Wizards still lost Game 2.
Then, it was the third game of the competition compared to the Western Finals, and the fight was quite intense.
In the end, Jordan turned on the godly mode, did his best to get 40+, set another historical record in the NBA, and helped the Wizards hold their home court and take a 2-1 lead in the big score.
Then, it's the fourth game.
Jordan, reimbursed for the injured season......
The 39-year-old Jordan fought to cut 40+ in the playoffs, plus his injury-ridden knee, it is not normal if he is not injured.
Jordan's injury also put the Wizards at an absolute disadvantage in the Eastern Conference finals.
Although Yao Ming had an eye-catching performance in the later games to help the team pull one back, they were eliminated by the Celtics 2-4.
This result is unexpected and regrettable for domestic fans.
The best outcome was that the Mavericks and Wizards met in the Finals and staged a Chinese derby in the NBA.
No matter how bad it is, it is Yao Ming who enters the finals and has a Yao shark showdown with O'Neal.
But the Wizards and Mavericks were eliminated one after another, and the derby and Yao Shark matchups were all unwatchable.
But let's be honest, this result is also reasonable.
If the Mavericks have a top-tier interior lineman, if Jordan doesn't get hurt......
But those are impossible to assume.
So what fans can look forward to, as Nowitzki said, is only next season.
Of course, some people are happy and some are worried.
Domestic fans regret, Boston fans rejoice.
Because, the Hukai battle is once again staged on the stage of the NBA Finals!
The Hukai War, also known as the Yellow-Green War, was a classic among the classics in the last century.
"Sky Hook" Abdul-Jabbar, "Magic" Johnson, "Forced King" Bird......
All of them are historical superstars of the Mingdong Alliance.
However, after the start of the yellow-green war this time, the result was a bit unexpected and reasonable.
The Lakers, who fell in four straight games, swept the Celtics 4-0.
Unexpectedly, the Celtics failed to get even a single win under the Lakers.
It stands to reason that this Lakers team is indeed so much better than the Celtics.
Moreover, the Celtics have no interior line to limit O'Neal.
O'Neal averaged 37.8 points, 16.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 3 blocks per game in four games, and won the FMVP trophy for the third consecutive year.
This is easier than playing the Nets in history.
No matter how strong Carlisle's coaching ability is, he has no power to fight back in the face of the absolute talent gap.
It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice, and Carlisle has had a similar experience in Dallas in history.
After defeating the Celtics, the Lakers won the championship for the third consecutive year, and it has also become another new dynasty in the NBA since the Bulls!
And those who have experienced this season know the difficulty of the Lakers' three-in-a-row this year.
The new rules failed to limit them in the end.
This is one of the reasons why the Lakers have been called the strongest team in history.
It's just that, like last year, Kobe's parents still couldn't come to the scene.
It's Vasani, who already has a big belly.
At the beginning of next year, Kobe Bryant will have his first child.
Although, it's a girl.
……
Sun Hao watched the live broadcast of the game and the scene where the Lakers finally won the championship.
That, let him envy.
It would certainly be a lie to say that there is no envy.
That's the highest honor for an NBA player.
That feeling is like having a 36D beauty in front of you, and being soaked away directly in front of your eyes.
You don't see James, and in order to get that honor, they are all displaced, and they play all kinds of basketball in their hometown, brothers, and school districts.
How many superstars have staged throwing and turning against the enemy.
And at the same time, a simple thought also flashed through his heart.
"I'm going to win, I don't want to lose again!"
Because it was a rookie season last year, Sun Hao didn't have much idea about himself and the Mavericks.
Basically, it's a season that counts as it goes.
So losing to the Spurs, and fighting with the Spurs to tie-break, he actually thinks it's nothing, and even thinks it's not bad.
But this year, as he said before the start of the playoffs, there is expectation of a championship.
After losing, he realized how he felt when he said to Seth Curry.
"It hurts ten times more to lose than it hurts to train."
Sure enough, some words and experiences are two completely different feelings.
The pain of the skin is painful and painful.
He can even understand why Bryant would say things like "we're the number one losers" in history.
Because there is only one NBA championship.
Just like in the national exam, if there is only one admission place, there is no essential difference between the second and last places.
So, he didn't want to lose again.
The kind that comes from the heart.
Jordan, it took 6 years, and finally he didn't lose again.
But Sun Hao felt that he couldn't wait that long.
He had only one thought in his mind right now.
He doesn't want to lose anymore!
"Ding! Congratulations to the quality for triggering the hidden quest [Dynasty Terminator]. ”
Dynasty Terminators: The dynasty always comes to an end, beating the Lakers in the playoffs to end the Purple and Gold dynasty.
Reward: [Shooting Talent]: Effectively improves the host's shooting talent, as well as the ability to combine dribbling and shooting.
This sudden pop-up information made Sun Hao a little startled.
It's another hidden mission!
And this reward ......
It's a little hard for him to imagine!
After so many years of owning the system, it was the first time he had seen the reward given by the system, which directly improved his talent!
What is Talent?
In plain terms, that's the ceiling!
Why did Kobe Bryant fail to surpass Jordan in the end, even though his skills were so good?
To put it bluntly, there is a gap in the upper limit of talent!
Moreover, this reward is still the kind of talent he lacks the most!
Previously, in Chicago, when Jordan was coaching him in shooting drills, there was a thing he said.
It's his shooting talent, which is actually not good, especially the combination of dribbling and shooting, which is even poor.
That's why Jordan would advise him to slow down his shooting speed.
In other words, his current three-point shooting ability is actually really based on his constant training in the system.
Or, in terms of his talent, no matter how much he practices the three-point shooting technique, he can't reach the level of Curry.
This is also the reason why he has finished this season, and the long-range marksman has advanced to the Hall of Fame, but the infinite range has not moved.
But now it's okay, it's just [Shooting Talent]!
This is the same as directly increasing your arm span to increase your defensive ceiling, and directly increasing his shooting ceiling!
However, the difficulty of this hidden mission is also the most difficult except for the [God of Basketball].
But Sun Hao was really happy.
He said he didn't want to lose again, which meant he was going to win back against the Lakers.
The triggering of this hidden mission gave him another motivation.
After receiving such a comfort, his mood suddenly changed a lot.
He's looking forward to next season!
