In fact, not only Carlisle, but on the other end of the court, Phil Jackson's expression was also stunned!

Before the game, his expectation was that Mourning would start and play some performances, and the Lakers and Wizards would start the stalemate, and then wait until Sun Hao finally made a force to win the game.

As a result, Mo Ning couldn't stop Yao Ming at all.

While he was still thinking about what to do, the problem itself was solved!

Because Yao Ming has already committed 2 crimes, he can only leave the game early!

His presence was not as fast as Carlisle's, but he also realized at this time that it was Sun Hao's credit.

He really wanted to become a KFC grandfather when he laughed again, but he still couldn't hold back.

With a player like Sun Hao, coaching should not be too easy!

No wonder when the old Nelson communicated privately before, he was always full of praise for Sun Hao.

He can't help it now!

Carlisle could only be forced to replace Yao Ming on the other side.

Unless absolutely necessary, no coach will keep him on the court when the core has already committed two fouls.

Because once there are 3 fouls in the first quarter, the player's playing time in the backcourt will become very limited, and there is even a high probability that he will leave the game early.

It can be said that Yao Ming's two fouls had a decisive impact on the situation of the game.

It's like a scale, originally infinitely tilted to the side of the Wizards, but with Yao Ming's 2 fouls, the balance was instantly restored, and it could even be more tilted towards the Lakers!

Ariza walked to the free-throw line, probably because of the confrontation ahead, and he missed both free throws.

But no one blames him, he caused Yao Ming's second foul, which is much more valuable than these 2 points.

Maddie hit Ariza with his back in the frontcourt, and the back of the turn was still iron.

Ariza's defensive improvement is one thing, and Maddie's personality is another.

Many people will think that Maddy's 35.13 seconds is a player with strong key ball ability.

But this is actually the same as Kobe Bryant's iron back, which is a real false proposition.

Maddie is the lowest key shot percentage among superstars.

Historically, Houston's 2-0 lead in the playoffs has been overturned, and it has a lot to do with it.

This is also one of the reasons why Jordan, Kobe, and now Sun Hao are so wildly sought after by fans.

The Wizards missed a wave of offense, and when they turned around, Sun Hao turned around and scored a layup in the middle of the bag, which also caused a defensive foul on Uncle Huo.

After he walked to the free throw line and hit the free throw, the score on the court became 9-6!

Lakers, overtaken!

Carlisle reached out and called a timeout.

"Sun scored very well tonight, here and here, two lines of defense to limit him."

Carlisle is indeed a master tactician, and his first words after the timeout hit the nail on the head.

Some people may say that this is not nonsense, O'Neill is not here, Sun Hao has been 40+ in a row in the past three games, and everyone knows to guard against Sun Hao.

But in fact, it's different, this season is used to paddling, and Sun Hao rarely scores crazy at the beginning as before.

But tonight's attack by Sun Hao is completely different from the last three games.

This also means that the Wizards must play double or even multi-player packages at the beginning.

It's a tactical adjustment.

After the timeout, Sun Hao held the ball to the frontcourt, and the Wizards directly put him in a double bag.

Sun Hao distributed the ball to Finley, did not stay, and passed directly through the bag without the ball.

Carlisle's judgment was very accurate, and all Sun Hao's actions after the opening were obviously going to the frame.

Finley's timely return pass Sun Hao received the ball at the free-throw line, and in front of him was Mutombo, who came on as a substitute for Yao Ming.

Mutombo still has strength, and this season he also staged three consecutive blocks, rejuvenating the second spring of his career.

It's a pity that Sun Hao didn't give him a chance to perform at all, and threw directly between the moves.

Before you could make a block, my ball was flying towards the basket.

"Huh!"

There was a crunch.

Sun Hao scored his 11th point after the opening!

Whether it is scoring like chopping melons and vegetables, or probing for things, his score will be double in the blink of an eye.

This kind of performance also reminds many fans of one thing, and now the holder of the NBA single-quarter scoring record is Sun Hao!

In terms of scoring explosiveness, he said that no one dared to say first in second.

This is again verified in this section.

Despite Carlisle's quick reaction, the Wizards couldn't stop Sun Hao from scoring.

Although breaking the single-quarter scoring record did not happen again, Sun Hao scored 27 points in a single quarter this quarter!

Throws, dunks, back-to-backs, breakouts, three-point ......

Sun Hao sacrificed all the weapons in his arsenal.

"I said that Sun is the most scorer after Michael, no problem."

On the commentary seat, Barkley turned on the daily Sun blowing mode again.

"I agree, Sun's attacking skills don't have any shortcomings, if you don't ask for his passing to be as good as Stockton."

Smith chimed in.

After Sun Hao mastered the technique of turning his back and leaning back, Smith also began to enter the role of Sun Fu a little.

Of course, one thing that can be clearly felt in the game is that Sun Hao's offense in the first quarter was more of an inside shot.

This choice is normal and correct.

Just like when O'Neal couldn't play in the playoffs last year, Kobe Bryant also hit the basket more, and the effect was just as good.

Super centers like O'Neal and Yao Ming can't play on the court, and the impact is on both offensive and defensive ends.

Driven by Sun Hao's crazy scoring, the Lakers scored 40 points in the first quarter!

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers led the Wizards by 19 points, 40-21!

It's a one-quarter game that spent!

And in addition to Sun Hao in this section, there is also a player's performance that is unexpected.

Alonzo.

At the beginning, Mo Ning was completely suppressed by Yao Ming, but after Yao Ming left the court, Mo Ning was like a different person, and the defensive end protected the Lakers' interior line like chicken soup.

This is also a very important reason why the Lakers can limit the Wizards' scoring to less than 20 points in a single quarter.

After Tim I didn't play O'Neal or No. 1 interior Duncan, Alonzo I didn't play against Yao Ming or top defensive center Mourning appeared.

It turns out that Mo Ning dared to take the initiative to ask Ying to start before, not only because of that movie, but also because he felt that his body was almost ready to play high-intensity games.

In the second quarter of the bench transition, the Lakers' benches continued to exert their strength, and it didn't take long for the difference to open up to 20 points.

Yao Ming committed 2 fouls early, Sun Hao broke out in a single quarter, and the Lakers played a flower game in a single quarter......

I'm afraid no one would have thought of this script before the game.

More precisely, it would not have been thought of five minutes before the start of the game.

But sometimes NBA games are interesting in places like this, unexpected, but reasonable.

With this advantage, if the previous rhythm continues, the Lakers are likely to play a big victory in the Christmas game.

But when the second quarter came back and Yao Ming reappeared, the situation changed again.

After Mo Ning and Yao Ming faced each other, they were at an absolute disadvantage.

Once again, the Lakers' huge interior disadvantage is on the horizon.

And it has to be mentioned that Yao Ming's ball quotient and learning ability are also very strong.

In his four-year career, Yao Ming's skills are already very mature, but his experience is still lacking.

When Bruce Bowen once talked about defending Kobe Bryant after retiring, he said that the most important thing is not how to limit Kobe, but how to keep himself on the court at all times.

Because an offensive player of Kobe's level is very aggressive, if you get a foul too early in the first quarter, you will inevitably drop your defensive intensity in order to avoid being forced off the court for a second foul.

So that's what Bowen thinks is the biggest experience in defense.

And this is exactly what Yao Ming didn't do well in the first quarter of this game.

But he learned quickly and still had two fouls at halftime.

In other words, Yao Ming did not fall into foul trouble again in this quarter, and the Wizards have maintained an absolute advantage on the inside.

The result is also conceivable, and the Wizards played an advantage after the main team came back in this quarter.

At halftime, the score was 60-49.

The Wizards narrowed the deficit to 11 points in one fell swoop.

After watching this half of the game, one of the most intuitive feelings is that Yao Ming is the real core of this Wizards team, and he and not in the Wizards team give people the feeling that they are two teams.

And in the third quarter, the pressure on the Lakers was even greater.

Maddy, who had not been in shape for the first half, finally found his form in the third quarter.

He scored 18 points in this quarter and became the second best boy on the court.

As for the most beautiful, it is still Sun Hao.

Sun Hao consumed a lot of physical energy in the first quarter and didn't perform much in the second quarter, but he started again in the third quarter.

This was the time between him and T-Mac, and he won the game.

He scored another 20 points in this quarter, and by the end of the third quarter, he had already scored 50 points!

In the first 50 points of the season, Sun Hao only took three quarters!

Moreover, with one more game to go, Sun Hao even has a good chance to hit the first 60+ of his career!

Fans in Los Angeles have an uncontrollable excitement.

That has nothing to do with victory or defeat, because they are likely to witness another legend of Sun Hao!

You must know that last season, Sun Hao set a new NBA single-quarter scoring record of 34 points in a single quarter, and he only scored 56 points in the end.

But tonight, Sun Hao proved with a more sustained performance that he has become more stable than in the past.

Don't think it's easy to get 60+ at the beginning of the century.

In fact, before the advent of the small-ball era, excluding those data that can be brushed, 60+ is almost the scoring limit of players.

is as strong as Jordan, and the highest score of his career is only 69 points.

And what makes fans look forward to it so much is the situation on the field.

At the end of the third quarter, the score on the court was 92-85.

The Wizards have narrowed the margin to single digits!

This game was really unexpected, but it was reasonable, and the outcome was impossible to know until the last minute.

'I want the time to be slower, a good game always makes you feel that way.'

Barkley sighed in the commentary seat.

Then, he seemed to take a mouthful of poisoned milk.

In the opening of the fourth quarter, the Lakers and Wizards both fell into a scoring drought, and the score on the court did not move for a long time.

This made Smith on the side complain.

However, when the main players of both sides returned, the game began to become fierce and exciting again.

On the Wizards' side, Yao Ming was still dominant on the inside, and Maddie also continued his hot form in the third quarter, which allowed them to tie the score in a short time after they returned.

After that, Sun Hao began to adjust his thinking, in addition to his personal score, he also used his own containment to play sudden scores, and the two teams began to stalemate.

It was played until the minute before the end, and the score on the field was 115 draws.

This is a 10,000-meter run that completes the first 990 meters, and the final 10-meter sprint is high.

In the possession of the Lakers, Sun Hao held the ball on the outside, and suddenly threw a three-point shot one meter away from the three-point line.

"Huh!"

With a knife in his hand, Sun Hao got his 58th point in the game!

The Staples Center was instantly set on fire.

The players on the Wizards' side are still in a state of confusion.

That feeling is really like two martial arts masters competing, and then suddenly someone pulled out a gun, and then said, "My lord, times have changed."

This is also where Smith has to sigh Sun Hao, his arsenal has too many weapons that can reach the "killing" level, which makes the opponent unguardable.

Carlisle called a timeout decisively.

After the timeout, the Wizards' ball unexpectedly reached Yao Ming's hands.

Theoretically, the NBA's key balls are handled by outside players, because it is much less difficult for the outside to get a shot than on the inside.

At this point, even if O'Neal is in full swing during the OK period, Jackson's key ball is also arranged by Kobe.

But Carlisle is really ingenious, and more importantly, Yao Ming is a very special insider, because his shooting speed can really be fast.

Back to position, catch, turn, hook.

The Lakers' bag was completely too late to go up.

Then, the ball went in!

If this were in Washington, the fans would have started singing Yao's songs.

Jackson didn't call a timeout, and although Yao Ming's ball was scored, the Lakers still had a one-point lead.

However, Carlisle is really ruthless, and directly sandwiched Sun Hao with three people.

The ball was in the hands of Ariza in the bottom corner.

A great chance to make a three-point shot, Ariza adjusted his three-point shot.

The trajectory of the ball is very positive.

"Phew!"

But the ball smashed out of the frame.

Helped the Lakers with the home basket all night, and ended up making a joke with the home fans.

After Yao Ming grabbed the defensive rebound, Carlisle called a timeout again!

And when he came back from the pause, he also arranged for Yao Ming to receive the ball in a low position and play singles!

This time, the Lakers had an early pack, but Yao Ming continued to show his dominance, and he rounded the bag with a dribble and a turn to the baseline.

Then, with only 2 seconds left in the game, he threw his hand back...... Hit!

119 to 118!

This could be the first lore goal of Yao Ming's career!

The Wizards' bench is boiling.

The fans at the scene were holding their heads in disbelief.

The goal just now was also Yao Ming's 40th point tonight.

40 points, 13 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 blocks.

Many people expected that Yao Ming might score 40+10 in O'Neal's absence, but many people didn't expect Yao Ming, who was fouled twice in the first quarter, and he still did it......

This is a more terrifying dominance than at the same time in history.

When fans were expecting Sun Hao to cut 60+ to create a miracle, they found out that this might also be Yao Ming's career masterpiece.

An extraordinary Christmas fight!

time, only the last 2 seconds.

Jackson called a timeout this timeout, and the setup for his timeout was very simple.

"Pass the ball to Sun Hao."

Coming back from a timeout, the Lakers use Payton to serve the sideline.

The eyes of the fans were all on Payton and Yao Ming on the court.

Because fans can guess the Lakers' final choice.

There are no starburst tactics, only pick-and-roll runs on the inside.

Jackson set up three blocks for Sun Hao.

Ariza, Walker, Mourning, Triple Rashomon.

Sun Hao almost ran out of the grappling in the end.

The good news was that he finally received a pass from Payton, and then he dribbled to the top of the arc against the switching Maddy.

Maddie struggled to jump up and use her talent to interfere with Sun Hao's shooting sight.

Sun Hao was forced to use his unaccustomed shooting posture in the air, twisted his body, leaned back, and shot three points against Maddie's defense.

The ball is shot, and the red light on the sidelines is on.

The ball went over Maddy's fingertips.

Time seems to be frozen.

And then the next second it's accelerating.

"Huh!"

In the instant raised hands and loud cheers at the scene, the basketball hollowed into the net!

120 to 119!

Sun Hao's anti-lore!

At the same time, it was also his 61st point!
