"Toot!"

With a whistle, Yao Ming turned the ball back to the halfcourt, and the finals officially opened!

Nelson controlled the ball, and when Yao Ming fell to the low post, he hoisted the ball in.

The Wizards opened the game with the inside first.

Yao Ming catches the ball and hits O'Neal with his back.

O'Neill's reaction speed slowed down after he was blessed, but the confrontation was still there, and Yao Ming was pushed further out after two hits.

However, Yao Ming belongs to the center with the perfect combination of technique and height, and he takes advantage of the situation with an outside hook after turning.

O'Neill could only look at the ball and sigh.

"Huh!"

Yao Ming showed his soft touch and sent the ball firmly into the basket.

2 to 0!

The Wizards come out on top!

Although he does not have an MVP aura bonus like Sun Hao, Yao Ming's state in the playoffs, especially after getting the MVP, is extremely hot!

The Lakers' offense, Payton holds the ball and advances to the frontcourt.

At this moment, Phil Jackson of the Lakers' bench suddenly stood up.

Because he found a very "incredible" scene on the field.

On the Wizards' side, it's Maddie defending Sun Hao!

Jackson then turned his gaze to Carlisle on the sidelines.

The two teams played each other before, especially in the Christmas battle, Sun Hao scored 62 points to beat the Wizards, and no one could stop him.

The Wizards, whether it is Nelson or Hamilton, including Alexander on the bench, can't stop Sun Hao at all.

Don't the Wizards have a better defender?

The answer is, yes.

Who? Mcgrady.

Maddie's physical gifts make him an extremely good defender.

But as I've said before, it's rare to see a core on the pitch.

Because the players are physically limited, doing so will inevitably mean physical exhaustion on the offensive end.

Of course, there are exceptions, such as Kobe's.

But Maddie is not Kobe, and the two have very different personalities.

What's more, the competition has just begun!

Sun Hao faced Maddie's attack in the first round, and the shot after shaking ...... Deviate!

Maddie's physical talent is so good, whether it's static or dynamic, he's completely a plus version of Kobe.

And he's really defending with all his might, which is like the feeling of the sun coming out of the west.

You must know that although Maddie has such a good talent, he has never been in the defensive lineup, and he is not very defense most of the time.

After successfully defending Sun Hao's goal, Maddie opened his sleepy eyes even rarely.

In the words of fantasy, his eyes burst out with a stunning light when they opened!

This time, it was Jackson who misunderstood Carlisle.

Defending Sun Hao is not Carlisle's arrangement, but Maddie's own request!

Maddie's personality is indeed much worse than Kobe's, but at certain times, his desire to win can also be strong.

For example, in history, in order to help the Houston team win the playoffs, he played behind closed plays!

Although that move later proved to be unwise, he did.

Now that history has changed, and the first-round maiden has reached the finals, this is a much more specific moment than that!

On the offense of the Wizards, Nelson and Uncle Huo played blocking and dismantling, and after dismantling, they threw out against O'Neal, who was making up the defense.

The ball didn't score, but O'Neal didn't have time to take it back, and after Yao Ming grabbed the offensive rebound under the basket, he scored a second offensive dunk!

4 to 0!

The cheers shook at the scene, and Jordan even reached out to applaud the team's performance.

The Wizards' side got off to a perfect start.

On the Lakers' bench, Phil Jackson frowned slightly.

Judging from the fact that the Wizards did not participate in the opening two offenses of Maddie, the Wizards will use Maddie to defend Sun Hao throughout the game tonight.

If Sun Hao and Maddy exchange one-on-one, the Lakers will fall into the disadvantage.

I have to say that the Wizards' hand adjustment is in place.

Now, it's up to Sun Hao to break through Maddie's defense.

Payton controlled the ball to the front court and was ready to continue to give the ball to Sun Hao.

But at this moment, Sun Hao made a new tactical gesture to him.

Peyton was a little surprised, because it was not Jackson's tactical arrangement, but he believed Sun Hao and did it anyway.

It was an inside tactic, with Sun Hao, Ariza and Walker pulling away on the wings, O'Neal sank to the inside and Payton hoisted the ball in.

O'Neal took the ball and glanced left and right without a clamp, and directly chiseled Yao Ming.

Yao Ming held his breath...... I can't bear it.

In history, Yao Ming was a little reluctant to defend O'Neill after gaining weight, but now Yao Ming has not gained weight, but it is O'Neill who has gained (hair) weight (blessing).

It's normal for Yao Ming to be able to bear it.

However, Yao Ming was very smart, and after carrying it twice, he withdrew from the bench and prepared to use his height advantage to block.

It is easy for an interior player to lose his balance if he has a high center of gravity, and it is easy to get hit if he changes to a general interior player.

But this is O'Neal, who has been on guard against Yao Ming so many times.

When Yao Ming removed the bench, he took advantage of the momentum and jumped directly to smash the ball to the basket with one hand.

"Bang!"

Even a slight leap is already a thunderous blow!

The scene was agitated.

They didn't know the psychological game between the two on the field.

What they saw was O'Neal knocking Yao Ming away and then dunking the ball in with a shark-out dunk.

That kind of visual impact, indeed, is like O'Neill himself said, he has rested enough!

The ball was exchanged, Yao Ming received the ball inside and then hit O'Neal with his back.

O'Neal was very focused when defending, but Yao Ming didn't gain weight and was full of flexibility, and a hook hand that turned continuously still scored the ball!

After the goal, Yao Ming swung his fist hard.

Although he didn't guard against O'Neal, O'Neill didn't guard against him either!

Turning around, Payton continued to drop the ball to O'Neal.

However, there is a small detail on the field at this time, Sun Hao did not simply stand on the outside to pull space, but ran around the half court without the ball.

O'Neal showed off his skills under the basket, and his trademark hook after turning also sent the ball into the basket steadily!

A duel between two super centers!

After a few rounds of the game, fans suddenly discovered that this game has turned into a Yao shark duel from the opening to the present!

Phil Jackson's expression was much better.

From a strategic point of view, Sun Hao's choice is wise.

The opening Yao shark duel, which can not only make full use of O'Neal's physical strength when he is on the field.

What's more, because Maddie is defending Sun Hao, the offensive end will not be involved too much, and the Lakers can maintain the situation.

Even Sun Hao is smart enough to use off-ball running to consume Maddie's physical strength, you must know that defense will always consume more physical strength than offense because it has to go around the block.

So if you keep playing like this, the Lakers will gradually play to the advantage.

The situation on the field is indeed moving in this direction.

The two teams played for about 6 minutes, and the score on the field was 14 draws.

At this moment, Sun Hao received the ball and faced Maddie, and suddenly stepped back and made a three-point shot.

Maddie is physically gifted and has maintained a very high level of defensive concentration from the beginning, but he has also consumed a lot of physical energy after running with Sun Hao for most of the quarter.

What the? Only half a section?

You ask Peyton, who is already panting out of breath, how he feels about preventing Hamilton from running half a quarter!

Sun Hao just ran half a quarter according to Hamilton's style of play!

This time, he didn't keep up with Sun Hao's offensive rhythm.

It was this moment that the ball swirled over his head towards the basket.

"Huh!"

Then with a crisp sound, Sun Hao's three-point hand rose and fell!

It was his first shot of the night, but his first shot was his first score!

That's not all, when Nelson's pull-up jump shot missed, O'Neal grabbed the rebound and gave it to Walker, and the Lakers pushed the defense to counterattack.

After Sun Hao received Walker's long pass, he accelerated and left Maddie behind!

"Bang!"

A signature tomahawk slammed the scene, and the scene was restless.

Sun Hao either doesn't shoot and can't score, and as soon as he makes a shot, it's a wave of personal 5-0!

Carlisle reached out and called a timeout.

His reflexes are fast enough.

But he overreacted a little this time.

Because after the timeout came back, the Lakers had already replaced O'Neal.

At this point in time, it's time for O'Neal's regular rotation!

With this pause, Carlisle can be regarded as paying for his youth.

After returning from the timeout, Yao Ming singled Mo Ning in the low post.

He turned in a row, but Mourning was much more flexible than O'Neal, and when he finally chose to attack, Mourning was hard enough.

His offense was ruined at the end and the rebound was picked up by Mourning.

Mo Ning staged a play "Lian Po is still old and can still eat".

The Lakers advanced to the frontcourt, and the ball went to Sun Hao.

During that timeout, Jackson made tactical adjustments, and the Lakers' offensive focus has shifted from the inside to the outside.

Or more precisely, it has been transferred from O'Neill to Sun Hao.

Sun Hao faced Maddie, accelerated in one step, retreated, and accelerated again.

Maddie is starting to lose a bit.

His center of gravity was already much higher than Sun Hao's, but now that his physical exertion is greater, he can't prevent it.

Second Uncle Huo came over to help defend him, but Jackson had a tactical arrangement, and Walker had already moved in advance to block and dismantle.

Sun Hao turned around and walked to Walker's side, entered the interior by blocking and demolishing, and shot to cause Yao Ming's defensive foul.

Sun Hao goes to the free throw line.

Just then, Carlisle called Maddie and Nelson to him on the sidelines.

Sun Hao's free throw.

First penalty, hit.

The second penalty is also there.

Hit both free throws steadily.

14 to 21.

The margin was stretched to 7 points.

Counting before the timeout, Sun Hao personally scored 7 points in a row!

The Wizards advance to the frontcourt, and Maddie starts to hold the ball!

Obviously, this is a new deployment made by Carlisle when Sun Hao made a free throw just now.

With this reaction speed, Carlisle's on-the-spot command ability is a few streets away from D'Antoni.

Yao Ming mentioned that the high position is used to block and dismantle, and the classic MM cooperation is long overdue.

An up and down block, the Lakers switched defenses, and Maddy pulled out his hand against Mourning.

Elegant figure, beautiful posture.

Because of the beauty of playing, Maddie's popularity in China skyrocketed after partnering with Yao Ming.

In addition to "T-mac", he even has a nickname in the country: the poet of basketball!

"Phew!"

But although it was good-looking, his first shot missed the hit!

Fortunately, Yao Ming picked up the offensive rebound and scored directly on the second offense.

16 to 21!

The difference is back to 5 points!

Sun Hao got the ball in front of the court again, and at this moment, his defender changed from Maddie to Hamilton.

This is also a normal adjustment.

Carlisle arranged for Maddie to attack, and he would not continue to let him defend.

However, such an adjustment is Sun Hao's opportunity.

Sun Hao continued to change direction and break through, Hamilton couldn't resist it, and Second Uncle Huo followed up to make up for the defense.

Sun Hao saw a fake rumor that Walker had deceived Second Uncle Huo and made a move after confronting Hamilton.

The ball spins and rubs the board into the frame.

16 to 23!

The difference was stretched to 7 points again!

Sun Hao scored 9 points in a row!

"What a terrifying scoring explosion!"

This year's live broadcast of the finals was won by ESPN, and Brin couldn't help but sigh after seeing it.

No one thinks this exclamation is exaggerated, because Sun Hao didn't score much in the first half of the quarter, but now, he has scored 9 points in an instant!

At this time, I will recall Jordan's answer to the question, and the extraneous voice of that sentence is actually a tacit acquiescence that Sun Hao's strength is stronger than Maddie!

It's just that the god of basketball is face first, and now Maddie is on his team, and it is impossible to admit it.

Looking back, Maddie continued to play with Yao Ming.

The Lakers didn't dare to change it again this time, Yao Ming's height was there, and if he changed, he would basically lose backcourt rebounds.

Ariza struggled to get around, but Yao Ming was also big.

And Maddie is still very decisive.

Another picturesque scissor leg pulling.

"Huh!"

This time the basketball heard the poet's call, and the hollow fell into the bag.

18 to 23!

Once again, the difference was pulled back to 5 points!

The situation on the field was extremely anxious.

Sun Hao broke through in front of the court and was trapped, and this time he chose to give the ball to Walker in the bottom corner.

Walker made a decisive three-point shot, but unfortunately he was a little unlucky and smashed out of the frame.

Yao Ming protects the defensive rebound.

After O'Neal went off the court, the Lakers were clearly at a disadvantage inside.

And this time the Wizards played a fast break, and Maddie followed quickly with a fast break, jumping up after receiving a pass from Nelson in the frontcourt.

Ariza had also retreated to the backcourt at this time, and he jumped up to block, but Maddie showed his physical fitness against the sky, and he spread his belly and glided after dodging in the air!

In an instant, the Verizon Center arena was set on fire.

The visual impact of this dunk is simply explosive.

When Sun Hao watched the LED playback, he couldn't help but be a little envious.

Maddy's physical talent, unique in the NBA.

And, more crucially, the momentum of the Wizards has risen.

Back on the defensive end, they pushed the Lakers to almost 24 seconds.

The ball returned to Sun Hao's hand in the last 2 seconds, and Sun Hao shot directly in the face of Hamilton!

This ball is very important, not only is there only 3 points left on the court, but more importantly, if the Wizards play a defensive counterattack, the "momentum" on the court will fall to the Wizards.

Just like the previous Western Conference finals against the Suns, "Momentum" was almost decisive in a close game.

Everyone in the scene was looking at the ball that was spinning in the air.

"Huh!"

Then, this time it was the Lakers' bench that boiled over.

Sun Hao's key ball never disappoints!

20 to 26!

The margin was stretched to 6 points again.

The scene was agitated.

Maddie also smiled at this time and reached out to rub her nose.

In fact, he is also very envious of Sun Hao's ability to play the key ball.

"This is the matchup of the best teams of the year!"

Brin went on to sigh.

The front is the Yao shark duel, followed by Sun Mai PK.

It's only been a quarter since the finals started, but it's more exciting than all the previous games!
