It was at this time that O'Neill was replaced by Mourning.

The big shark had a smile on his face.

As he showed when chatting with Sun Hao, playing the Warriors, the big shark refused at first, and what he was most afraid of after becoming fat was to run back and forth all over the court.

But after half a quarter, he entered the stage of "being physically honest".

The Warriors' interior configuration is to give him a sense of game experience!

Mourning came off the bench and the Lakers still maintained their dominance on the court.

The difference between Sun Hao and Kobe Bryant is also obvious at this stage.

Kobe Bryant is to convince you in one way, and Sun Hao is to defeat you in the most correct way.

After O'Neal went off the court, he didn't take the outside shots, but all went to the basket.

The purpose of this is also clear, not to give the Warriors a chance to grab long rebounds.

The Warriors don't have long rebounds, and they still can't fight back!

Some people may ask, the Lakers are so determined to play the basket, why don't the Warriors shrink their defense?

Because you can't fight back because you shrink the defense!

The Warriors are fast, but they're also human, and if you want him to fly from the three-second zone to the three-point line, they can't do it.

If you have played 2K, you will know very well that the fastest way to complete the fast break is to turn around and run to the front court after the opponent has made a shot, waiting for the backcourt teammates to grab the rebound and then give a long pass.

And to increase the success rate, the best teammates grab are long rebounds, so that long passes are not easy to be interfered with and destroyed.

Now that the most critical part of the fast attack has been cut off, it will naturally be difficult to fight back.

Old Nelson rubbed his forehead on the sidelines.

is also against his former beloved, but Sun Hao puts a lot more pressure on him than Nowitzki.

And the current Sun Hao has no technical shortcomings on the offensive end, and he is not as targetable as Nowitzki.

One word, difficult!

The game was fought, and the Warriors were beaten out of temper.

The Warriors are a team that can play if they are excited to play.

But I have been pressed and beaten like this, and the momentum quickly disappeared, and the collapse came faster than most teams.

Before the end of the third quarter, the Lakers had already established a 20-point lead, and the game was declared early.

In the end, the Lakers defeated the Warriors 103-83 at home to get their first win in the semifinals opener.

O'Neal played just 22 minutes before comfortably churning for a double-double of 21 points and 10 boards.

This result is in stark contrast to the series between the Warriors and the Mavericks in the first round, and it has also sparked heated discussions among fans in the forum.

"Thank you Lakers, I finally know where our team's problems are, Johnson how far and how far to roll!"

"There is no harm if there is no comparison, we should really change the head coach, otherwise we are wasting the peak of Kobe and Dirk!"

"Why don't we go and get old Nelson back? He is black eight when he comes back, and he is familiar with the team, there is no more suitable person than him! ”

"I made people angry at the beginning, and now I invite people back? Is Old Nelson really alive? ”

"Hey! This tells us that we can't be rash in many cases, no one knows what will happen in the future, and we have to leave a line in life! ”

"It's just cheaper Lakers, this is lying down to enter the Western Conference Finals!"

"To be honest, I think even if we win the Warriors, it will be difficult to beat the Lakers......"

"Agree, I don't know if it's my delusion, I feel that the Lakers are still in a half-stroke state so far, and Sun and Shaq haven't made much effort."

"It's not an illusion, it's true, the Lakers' veterans are already in state, and the Lakers are going to defend their title!"

"The only thing that can stop the Lakers is the Wizards."

"Where's the sun?"

"Nash will be Sun Bang again, and there are no bottoms left...... Wasn't that the way it was when I was with the Warriors? ”

"I don't think so, the overall defensive ability of the Suns is much better than that of the Warriors, and I think the Suns and Lakers are at least four or six, or even five or five."

"No need to discuss, we'll see soon!"

……

While the discussion among fans on the forum was hot, another semifinal in the West, the Suns and Nuggets were playing.

And the reason why fans will say "we will see the Lakers beat the Suns soon" is because the Nuggets were beaten by the Suns......

In the future, fans often compare the 73-win Warriors to the historical Suns, and in fact they do have a lot in common.

A flashy and ferocious offense, and a defense that is easily overlooked by fans because of the offense.

Many people may say that the Suns are often bombarded by opponents for 110 or even 120 points, how can defense be considered good?

That's where data deceives people.

In the future era of small ball, the game will often score 120 or even 130 points.

In addition to the body hair whistle, a bigger reason is that the secondary offense has been reduced from 24 seconds to 14 seconds.

The direct result of this is that there are a lot more offensive rounds in the game, and the score will naturally go up.

This is also the reason why this Suns team is often bombarded by opponents with 110+ or even 120+.

Because D'Antoni's 7-second offense is aimed at increasing the number of rounds, and then fighting to score and explode.

So don't be deceived by the stats, take a look at the Suns' games and you'll see that their defensive prowess is among the best in the league.

One of the most direct proof of this is that the Suns have ranked fifth in the league in defensive efficiency this season.

The immature Nuggets faced such a team with an integrated offense and defense, and the result can be imagined.

James's play is quite normal, after all, what can really limit his play is the super inside.

But the performance of others was obviously diving under the high-intensity defense, which also allowed the Nuggets to lose by a big score.

After the game, Nuggets fans began a new round of calls for a strong helper for James.

There are even some fans who want to use such a sound to wake up the fighting spirit of the other players of the Nuggets.

It's just that in the face of the powerful Suns, whether such an approach will work is a big question mark.

easily won the first game of the semifinals, the atmosphere in the Lakers team was relaxed, and Sun Hao was in a very good mood.

On this day of competition, after the end of training, Sun Hao was chatting with O'Neill in the training hall when he suddenly found a familiar head poking out of the door.

When I looked at it, I realized that it was Durant.

"How did you get in?"

Sun Hao walked over in surprise.

The training hall is not something to be left in and out of, and even journalists have to be allowed to enter.

"The security guard at the gate knew me, and he said he remembered that you gave me sneakers."

Sun Hao was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then laughed.

Durant, this is a relational household, and he has gone through the back door.

"Shaq, come and introduce you to the future superstar."

Sun Hao turned his head to greet O'Neill.

This isn't Durant's first visit to the Staples Center, as he gifted his original sneakers to Durant on the night of 81;

This is not the first time Durant has appeared in the same place as O'Neal, when Sun Hao got married before, he and O'Neal were both present;

However, they hadn't met before, so Sun Hao just introduced it.

"I know you, Sun often mentions you to me, the future superstar."

O'Neal reaches out to Durant.

Sun Hao was a little surprised, he hadn't mentioned Durant to O'Neal.

But that's what someone with high emotional intelligence like O'Neill would say.

"Really?"

Durant's face was slightly red, a little embarrassed.

But his reaction, well, this emotional intelligence happens to be the opposite of O'Neill.

O'Neal didn't care, shook hands with Durant, and then went back to the locker room first.

Sun Hao and Durant sat down and chatted.

Durant came to watch the game, because he didn't buy a ticket, he came to Sun Hao to ask for a ticket.

Sun Hao smiled and nodded, this is what Durant would do in his memory in his previous life.

Sun Hao asked him about the draft by the way.

While the first round of the playoffs is still playing, the draft draw is over, and the order of origin is:

No. 1 pick, Raptors;

second pick, Cavaliers;

third pick, Bobcats;

Fourth pick, Trail Blazers;

Fifth pick, Houston;

Sixth pick, Hawks;

seventh pick, Grizzlies;

eighth pick, Timberwolves;

……

With the draw coming out, there was a trial.

Sun Hao also asked about Durant's tryout.

"Rich didn't have a lot of tryouts for me."

"Richie?"

Sun Hao thought it was rich Paul at first glance.

"Rich Kleiman, the agent I was looking for, he's very famous in New York."

After Durant explained, Sun Hao remembered.

Durant's EQ is relatively low, but he is a very good person, and he can be reflected in the agent, he is one or two in the league who has not changed agents.

"Which teams did he try out for?"

"Toronto and Cleveland."

"Gone?"

"Just these two now."

First and second.

It's not a lot of quantity, but it's about quality.

It seems that Kleiman is optimistic about Durant's draft prospects this year.

"How's you doing?"

"I messed up Toronto, they told me to push an 84kg bench press and I couldn't do it once, it was a bit cold there and I didn't feel like I was fully moving."

Durant said this with a look of annoyance.

This is also understandable, the Raptors are holding the champion lottery after all.

Sun Hao paused when he heard this, Durant participated in the draft a year earlier than in history, but this bench press still happened.

"But I'm doing well in Cleveland."

However, Durant's words changed, and his mood looked a lot more beautiful.

"Their boss is Daniel Gilbert and he talks to me a lot and I can feel that he is interested in me."

After Sun Hao listened, he felt a sudden flash of inspiration in his head.

In history, James went to the Cavaliers and became the "little emperor" of Cleveland.

Now that history has changed, James went to the Denver Nuggets, so he went to Durant?

Suppose the script is that James becomes Nowitzki and then Durant becomes James......

If that's the case, it's interesting!

But it doesn't seem right, Durant doesn't have a brother basketball team to team.

Sun Hao thought a little far, and Durant called him twice before he pulled his thoughts back.

However, judging from what I heard, Durant's draft pick this year will not be low.

After the two chatted, Sun Hao had dinner with him, and by the way, he got the ticket thing done, and then went back to the Staples Center together.

The second match of the semi-finals will continue here.

The first game was won so easily, and the mood of the fans, including the photographers, was also relaxed.

In addition to shooting the warm-up scenes, he was giving shots to some of the audience in attendance, including Scarlett, Nicholson, and then Durant.

When Durant appeared on the LED screen, the picture was a little embarrassing, and even many viewers at the scene couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Because Durant is eating there...... Little raccoon crisp noodles.

Sun Hao was also happy when he saw it, Durant's damn migrant worker temperament.

But in addition to laughing, there are still some fans talking about it.

Regardless, Durant is a hot rookie in this year's draft.

Old Nelson also looked up and saw Durant, but he frowned slightly and didn't know what he was trying to write.

After the warm-up, the game started quickly.

In this game, the old Nelson put Dunleavy Jr. and Murphy back into the starting lineup.

This adjustment is also a default to the failure of the change of formation in the last game, and the lineup that the team is most familiar with must be used.

However, after the start of the game, the situation on the field did not change much from the previous game.

O'Neill is still experiencing the game, and Sun Hao is more often sitting on the sidelines drinking wolfberry tea.

In the end, after the fourth quarter, the Lakers still beat the Warriors 115-97, rewriting the big score to 2-0.

There is no easier game to play.

And at this time, it was basically confirmed that the Warriors were escorting the Lakers to the West.

……

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the second round of the game has been played.

Four sets of matchups can be described by an idiom: polarization.

Two sets of sweeps, and two sets of fierce battles.

In addition to the expected Lakers, there is also the "unexpected" Wizards team who completed the sweep.

In addition to Howard and Yao Ming's embarrassment and chicken feathers, Arenas was also educated by Maddie.

In the epitome of the series, Maddie's trademark wobble from outside the three-point line pulls out a three-pointer, and Arenas has a helpless look on his face.

The other two groups of Guild Wars.

The Nets and Pistons didn't decide the winner until Game 6, and it was Anthony who completed the stunner in G5 Tianwang Mountain, and won it in one go to the G6 Pistons.

Anthony averaged 27 points per game throughout the series, which was quite good, and also won a lot of praise for the upcoming MVP selection.

Another slightly unexpected group was the Suns and Nuggets matchup.

After losing the first game, James began to become more "selfish", and the facts proved that he was right.

He averaged 33 points per game throughout the series and was the leading scorer in the first round.

His strong performance also made the Nuggets play from 1-3 to 2-3, and only lost in Game 6.

Like Anthony, his performance has also won him a lot of MVP calls.

By this time, the list of opponents for the Eastern and Western finals had been finalized.

Wizards vs. Pistons in the East, and Lakers vs. Suns in the West.

Although the process was a bit tortuous, the result was not much different from what fans expected before the playoffs began.

And it is also foreseeable that the two sets of divisional finals will not be as one-sided as the divisional semifinals.

Either you die or I die, and it can be completely predicted before it even starts.

Just when fans were eager to see the two divisional finals, the league announced the third batch of awards for the season.

There is only one award this time, but it is the most eye-catching.

MVP of the regular season.

ps: A little Kavin today, will continue 2 more tomorrow.
