Experts predict that G3 will be the Spurs winner!

And it turned out to be true...... The first half of the script.

The Spurs' firm interior strategy, the existence of the twin towers combination, did once put the SuperSonics at a disadvantage.

The old and spicy Admiral Robinson cooperated with Duncan on the inside to beat Sakuragi Hanamichi back to the 'prototype' in the first half, and only got 4 points and 3 rebounds in 20 minutes in the first half, which led to the intermittent supersonic outside firepower.

This allowed the Spurs to end the first half by 16 points, even more than in G1, which made all the commentators feel comfortable, after all, they finally got the prediction right.

But a scene that made Spurs and ball critics desperate also came - Lin Dong's firepower was in full swing!

In the first half, he focused on a playmaker, and the data of 18 points and 9 assists was almost invisible to Lin Dong.

But at the beginning of the third quarter of the second half, it was a continuous high-difficulty outside 3-pointer, scoring 7 3-pointers on 11-of-14 shooting in a single quarter, including 3 3+1, and four offensive points on the inside, as well as two fouls on Duncan for causing damage, one foul on the Admiral, and one foul each on the outside Parker and Ginobili.

What's even more terrifying is that under such firepower, Lin Dong even completed 3 blocks and 3 steals of defensive contributions......

Single-handedly abused the Spurs from the outside to the inside!

scored 36 points in a single quarter in the third quarter, which not only ignited the once silent key arena, but also completed the score overtake, turning the Spurs into a sluggish background board.

At this time, people suddenly remembered that this guy won the scoring title in his rookie season, and his score was as high as 37.8 The best scorer in history......

The Spurs quickly adjusted their tactics against Lin Dong after a short break, and adopted the ultimate wrap-and-hold tactic in the fourth quarter.

As long as Lin Dong holds the ball through the midfield, he will immediately stick and stare at it, the one that sticks it will defend directly, and the one that will be stared at is not more than two steps away, ready to wrap it up at any time.

And when Lin Dong holds the ball near the three-point line, it is definitely a standard two-person pinch, and if Lin Dong wants to break through to the inside line, it will be three or even four!

The extreme pinching finally contained Lin Dong's terrible scoring ability a little, but the problem was that the outside line was also completely released.

Spurs bet that the supersonic outside line is not accurate today, but in the case of large vacancies every time, no matter how inaccurate the outside line is, it has already regained its feel.

In the fourth quarter, the supersonic outside line was full of firepower, throwing the Spurs' defense into a hornet's nest, 117:102, the supersonic went from trailing by 16 points in the first half to beating the Spurs by 15 points, and it only took half time.

And after this battle, the fatigue of Spurs was really revealed.

After defeating the Mavericks, in fact, their physical exhaustion has reached an extreme, and the reason why it can not be seen in the first two games with the supersonic is because after all, there are two days of rest, and secondly, G1 has played well, and their confidence has improved, and that breath has been hanging down.

But G2 lost, G3 lost again, and two consecutive defeats made Spurs a little unbearable.

The physical exhaustion and mental exhaustion have accumulated together, and by the time the supersonic home game G4 arrives, the overwhelmed Spurs have already been defeated.

At 122:95, the Spurs lost a big game, falling behind 1:3, just like when the SuperSonics led 3:0 against the Lakers before.

In the history of the NBA, the score of 1:3 in the playoff series has never been chased back, coupled with the visible fatigue of the Spurs in G4, and the momentum of the supersonic speed, everyone has actually understood that the big picture has been decided.

The tired Spurs don't have what it takes to stop this supersonic.

It's an invincible rookie team...... Every victory seems to be slapping the faces of the league veterans, and the entire league is shocked.

Newcomers, and both cores are Asian.

Frankly speaking, Lin Dong now has quite a lot of teenage fans in the United States, and with Seattle's national popularity, the approval rating is not low, but this does not mean that the league is happy to see all this.

Or rather, the alliance is tangled...... Stern was also entangled.

Before the start of this season, Stern's only idea was to vigorously praise Hong Lindong and shape him and Yao Ming as the NBA's business cards to enter the Dragon Market.

But in Stern's mind, the height of this business card is probably an All-Star level, even if it is a historical level, but it does not mean that he hopes that this business card can be raised to the extent of overpowering the NBA.

The Dragon Country market is important and promising, but after all, the United States is the main market at the moment, so let an Asian win the championship, what do you make American fans think? With the exception of most young people and Seattleites who don't have much spending power at all, the Alliance's truly large consumer base wouldn't be happy to see this Asian man on the altar.

Now it's obvious that it's over...... Or do people like MD still need to be praised? It should have suppressed his arrogance from the beginning and let him risk less energy.

Not only Stern, but now the entire league is beginning to feel this way, and not wanting to watch the supersonic win the championship has also become the common sentiment of most participants in the league.

Now it seems that the Spurs can't count on it, but fortunately, there is still a really strong sniper team in the league.

Eastern Division......

Just as the Spurs and SuperSonics completed G4, the G4 between the Eastern Wizards and the Cavaliers had just ended.

101:92, the Wizards won, although the score difference is not very large, but the suppression from beginning to end, so that the Cavaliers basically did not see the half of the dawn of real victory, and the Wizards were swept out of the game with a 4:0 cleanly.

Is it because the knight is weak? Not weak, this season not only ranked first in the East in the regular season, but also almost maintained smooth sailing after the playoffs, sweeping in the first round and 4:2 in the second round, winning easily.

Dwyane Wade's average of 28.6 points, 8 assists, 2 steals and 1 block per game in the first two rounds of the series shows his absolute strength as the star of this year's list.

LeBron James averaged 22.5 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks per game in the two-round series, and he was a strong man on both offensive and defensive ends.

This pair, in the comments of all parties, is not weaker than the combination of Lin Dong and Sakuragi Hanamichi.

But unfortunately, the wizards are too strong.

In G1 and G2, the Cavaliers learned supersonic defense around the front, but unfortunately Zashinas, who moved slowly, could not cooperate with LeBron's defense, plus Harrington in exchange for Stackhouse after the Wizards sent away, and Yao Ming formed a new interior twin tower...... As it turns out, the inside twin towers are the best way to crack the front defense.

This made the Cavaliers' defensive cooperation around the front not only not effective, but became a fatal hole for the Cavaliers, allowing Yao Ming to score 32 points and 35 points respectively in the first two games, and averaged 3.5 blocks and 16 rebounds per game.

On the defensive end, not only Yao Ming dominates the basket, but also Artest, who has newly joined the Wizards, the tough defensive style has made LeBron, the invincible Cavaliers forward who was invincible in the face of other teams, suffer a lot, and it is already difficult to play alone, but when he finally enters the inside, he has to face the invincible Yao Ming, so that he only got an embarrassing data of 11 points and 5 rebounds per game in two games.

And even more terrifying is Jordan.

The basketball god who has won DPOY not only has an average of 28 points per game on the offensive end, but also almost locked the so-called genius Wade on the defensive end, firmly controlling his shooting rate below 35%, making the most shots in the game, but only averaging 16 points and 5 assists per game, and almost completely severing the connection between the Cavaliers team.

The old rascal's defense feels like it's a step up from before, not just for individual defenses, but more often it feels like his defense is already against the opposing team.

In this way, I can still feel that Jordan is at ease, compared to his previous efforts in the Dragon Kingdom exhibition game, the most obvious is the problem of the old knee injury, after a season of recovery seems to have been completely alleviated, and the physical reserves, as well as the once criticized 3-point shot, also seem to have been greatly improved.

This seems to be an upgraded version of the god of basketball...... Obviously, this is not yet in full swing.

For this playoffs, for the seventh championship trophy, the basketball gods have been preparing for a whole year!

When it came to G3 and G4, the Cavaliers changed their original regional defense tactics and wanted to contain the Wizards by strengthening the inside line.

But in the face of the Wizards' absolute strength, they are obviously just doing useless work.

After last season's single-core led the team to the finals, and this season he got the team's core treatment, Da Yao at this time is much more mature than this time in history, and has gained a body of 135 kilograms, plus a height of 226 cm is enough to make him an invincible killer on the inside.

It's okay that the knights don't flank the shot, but with a pinch shot, not only did the inside line have no effect on Yao Ming at all, but even the outside line was vacated by the Wizards, so the loss was even more natural.

The invincible interior line seems to have the posture to replace O'Neal and Duncan, at least in the eyes of various ball critics, it is also the dominance of the interior that does not lose to those two, plus a basketball god who seems to have returned to the top.

The two have not only worked together like a fish in water this season, but they have also had an excellent personal relationship.

What's even worse is that whether it is Yao Ming, who led the team all the way to the finals last season, or Jordan, who was once mythical, they have already proved their will and their desire to win.

It can be said that this pair is definitely better than the peak OK combination in terms of ability and will, and it is not comparable to the stumbling and contradictory OK combination this season.

Coupled with a series of operations by the Wizards' management this season, Harrington and Artest in exchange for Stackhouse, two defensive giants, and the attribute of not fighting for the ball at all, the overall lineup of the Wizards has reached a fairly perfect point.

The ease with which he swept the Cavaliers, who were also seen as super rookies, was ironclad proof of that.

There is no doubt that if you want to stop the supersound, the Wizards are the last hope of the league!
