Starting from the last bus in the NBA

Chapter 246 Kings 3
Because of the foul, the Kings re-served.

It was still Divac who took the ball in the high position and wanted to try to pass the ball to Peja, but Wang Hao watched it very hard.

And Peja didn't have the ability to attack with the ball, and Divac didn't dare to pass the ball to him without a good chance.

It would be dangerous if he really made a mistake under Wang Hao's pressure.

Even if there are no mistakes, once Peja gets the ball, of course he will try to attack, and the rhythm of the game will stagnate.

In the tactics of the Kings, Peja is just a terminator, and now there is no chance to end, it is best not to pass the ball to him.

As a veteran, Divac's mind is very clear, even if Peja asked for the ball, he didn't give it.

Seeing that there were less than 10 seconds left, he didn't delay and gave the ball directly to Chris Webber.

This is undoubtedly the most correct choice.

Although time was running out, Weber was not in a hurry and faced the basket directly after getting the ball.

It was a trial step first, followed by a second trial, a very realistic fake move, which really affected PJ Brown.

You know, to be able to enter the second team of the NBA's best defensive team, PJ Brown's defensive strength is definitely not bad.

PJ Brown can be swayed by a tentative step, which can only show that Chris Webber's fake moves are realistic and that he is threatening enough.

Even if it's a fake move, PJ Brown has to deal with it carefully.

Seeing that PJ Brown's center of gravity moved, Chris Webber directly chose to break through.

However, he didn't break through to the bottom, but after breaking through a step, he chose to turn around again.

If it is replaced by another defender, Chris Webber can easily shoot if he has been shaken away.

However, PJ Brown is worthy of being PJ Brown, he abruptly retracted his focus.

Seeing that Chris Webber was about to make a shot, he took off directly and wanted to block the shot.

However, at this moment, the basketball that had already reached the top of his head was suddenly retracted, which was another fake move.

Chris Webber watched PJ Brown fall from the commanding height with extremely calm eyes, and then he shot without haste.

"Shh!"

2:2
Known as the most gorgeous power forward in NBA history, this sentence is not casual.

Chris Webber has athletic talent, and his height of 206 cm can win the rebounding leader, which already shows the problem.

At the same time, he also has extremely comprehensive offensive skills, singles with backs, and breakthroughs facing the basket. He is the top strength in the league.

Not only that, but he also has an extremely wonderful pass, all kinds of elusive passes, and even back passes.

In terms of passing the ball unexpectedly, he can even be compared with his teammate White Chocolate.

Someone once said, what would happen if Chris Webber came to the small ball era?
Perhaps, he can also start a new era.

Well, I'm thinking too much, no one knows whether Chris Webber can gain a foothold in the small ball era.

However, even in this era, in this game, it is not so easy for PJ Brown to completely limit him.

It's just that PJ Brown was not immersed in the conceded goal just now, he kept the head coach's arrangement firmly in mind.

As soon as the basketball landed, he had already picked it up, walked out of the baseline, and then served.

Gary Payton didn't delay after getting the ball, and rushed directly and quickly, and the Kings didn't react for a while.

Well, it's not their fault.

In the previous three games, the Sonics basically played a slow-paced offense, focusing on positional warfare.

This suddenly raised the speed, and no one could react in time.

When White Chocolate reacted, Gary Payton had already crossed the half court, so he could only block it immediately.

However, just when he was close to Gary Payton, Gary Payton had already passed the ball.

But in the other half, Wang Hao had already got rid of Peja, and after getting the ball, he stepped into the three-point line in one step.

This time, Wang Hao didn't dare to play any tricks, but was an honest civilian dunking.

4:2
It was at this moment that everyone on the Kings team, including the bench, looked at Peja.

The meaning is obvious, brother, you should defend better!
It was so easy to get rid of and let them score easily. You must know how difficult it was for them to score these two points just now.

Peja felt wronged, he really didn't think it was his fault.

Because in the defensive round, it wasn't Wang Hao who was facing him. He was about to find his own defender. Who knew that Wang Hao rushed out suddenly?
So Christie is to blame for this conceded goal?
Of course not, after all, in the offensive round just now, it was Rashad Lewis who defended him.

There is a little distance between him and Wang Hao, and he couldn't catch up at first.

Adelman doesn't care who is responsible for this, he already has a hunch that today's Supersonics have obvious changes in tactics.

He loudly reminded his players to pay attention to the opponent's fast break.

It's the Kings' turn to attack, this time, it's still Chris Webber.

He was holding the ball and preparing for singles, but suddenly a supporting ball was given to Divac who came in through an air cut.

Between the two big players, a wonderful internal pass and internal cooperation was completed, and Divac scored a layup.

The Sonics are still fast serve. Although the Kings are ready, they are still speeding up as much as possible.

No, Lewis quickly went down the sideline, which made Christie afraid to go to Wang Hao for the first time.

During such a delay, Wang Hao had already settled beyond the three-point line, and the ball had already passed to him.

In the face of Peja's defense, he didn't have any delay, he just rushed straight and passed Peja in one step.

Chris Webber had to make it up, but missed PJ Brown again.

With a light flick of Wang Hao's wrist, the basketball flew out from Chris Webber's side, just in time for PJ Brown.

Thanks to Divac's early prediction, he moved over early to prevent PJ Brown's dunk.

However, he also lost a foul.

PJ Brown made two free throws and the SuperSonics took the lead again. Although they only led by one point, they were still ahead!
In the offensive round of the Kings, this time, White Chocolate simply did not pass the ball, but chose to do it himself.

He asked Divac to give him a pick and roll, because he knew that Ewing couldn't guard it at all.

After the pick-and-roll, as expected, Ewing chose to shrink the inside line, and White Chocolate got a chance to make a high shot.

It's a pity that his shooting is not as exciting as his passing.

The basketball bounced out of the hoop and just landed in Ewing's hands. After getting the ball, he immediately found Wang Hao.

Wang Hao resolutely carried out the arrangement of the head coach, whenever he had the opportunity, he played as fast as possible.

Therefore, he didn't go to Gary Payton at all, but simply rushed in with the ball.

Today's Wang Hao is not the one who could dribble to his feet two years ago.

Seeing Wang Hao charging with the ball, Christie on the other side quickly followed up, trying to stand in front of Wang Hao.

At the same time, Peja didn't dare to let Wang Hao go, so he simply formed a double team.

Fortunately, Wang Hao immediately adjusted his dribbling rhythm and didn't really rush into the pocket. He even saw an opportunity out of the corner of his eye.

I saw Wang Hao jumping high and throwing the ball directly to the bottom corner.

And there, it was Lewis who was emptied. After getting the ball, Lewis aimed for a few seconds before making a shot.

"Shh!"

Looking back, in the Kings offense, Peja finally found a chance and hit a two-pointer.

A very clever double screen, and the latter screen was impressively Divac.

Still the same sentence, Ewing couldn't get out, which gave Peja a chance to make a calm move.

In any case, as a top scorer, Peja can be trusted when he does get a chance.

Paul Westphal also saw the problem, and after half a quarter of the game, he decisively replaced Ewing.

Moreover, it was not another center who replaced Ewing, but Ruben Patterson on the back line.

Yes, he intends to continue to speed up.

I have to say that compared to Adelman, Paul Westphal is obviously the more courageous one.

The Kings want to play offense and speed up, but he dare not replace Divac.

Just imagine, in the first two games, if Turkoglu replaced Divac, the ultimate speed-up.

Under such circumstances, can the Supersonics still hold back the rhythm?

Going back to Princeton's basketball system, it's clear that Peja doesn't fit the system very well.

He can only exist as an end point, but it is the pass that Princeton requires, and Peja has done a mediocre job.

At this time, if Peja is replaced by Turkoglu, is it more suitable?

It's a pity that Adelman can't bear Peja's scoring ability.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with doing this, after all, when Peja is on the court, the Kings can have a reliable scorer.

It's just that Paul Westphal did even better.

Since you want to play fast, don't look forward and backward, and line up the most suitable lineup.

After Ewing left the court, the Sonics' inside line became much weaker in an instant, and there were also problems with rebound protection.

But, they are faster.

Especially under the leadership of Gary Payton and Wang Hao, the Supersonics played fast breaks many times.

Thanks to the backup of the Kings, they played well today, and the performance of the two insiders, the two sides played back and forth.

At the end of the first quarter, the score between the two sides was 28:25.

At the end of the first half, the point difference remained at a very small number.

54:50
The difference of 4 points is just a matter of two goals, and the Kings didn't care at all.

There is still half time before the end of the game, so it is really unnecessary.

"Okay, the warm-up is over, let's settle the battle!"

As soon as he returned to the locker room, Paul Westphal loudly expressed his thoughts to the players.

"Wang, you played too calmly in the first half, I need you to play more passionately.

You are our core, try your best to show your scoring ability, I believe you can solve your opponent. "

That's right, the head coach set his target on Wang Hao.

The Kings played really well today, but he also believed that the Supersonics hadn't played their full strength yet.

In the second half of the game, it was already time for a decisive battle.

"Coach, I understand!"

In fact, during the first half of the game, Wang Hao was indeed playing a little bit.

In fact, it's not that he doesn't want to play singles, it's just that the king's counterattack is also very violent today.

In the first quarter, he also tried to kill his opponent with offense.

It's just that this is competitive sports, and the opponent doesn't let you score without making any response.

In fact, the Kings really responded.

In this way, Wang Hao's score did not widen the point difference, but the two sides ended up in a stalemate.

In fact, that's the norm for most games.

Throughout the first half, Wang Hao scored 11 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists, which is not considered completely ineffective.

Now that the head coach has made arrangements, he will naturally go all out.

The second half of the game started, and the Supersonics made their first attack, and the basketball was directly in the hands of Wang Hao.

Facing Christie, Wang Hao first took a tentative step, but as expected, Christie did not hesitate.

The series has already played four games, and the two sides already know each other very well, so naturally there is no need to play these nonsense anymore.

Therefore, Wang Hao directly chose to break through.

Christie's reaction was not unpleasant. He even withstood Wang Hao's impact and prevented him from rushing inside.

However, Wang Hao did not blindly bury his head and charge hard. This was his style of play when he was in college, and it has been upgraded now.

He suddenly changed his rhythm, it was a back turn, but it was a fake move.

After the back turn, Wang Hao turned back and then shot.

Christie reacted very quickly and quickly reached out to interfere. As expected of a player who can enter the best defensive team, his defense did not lose his position.

"Shh!"

However, when the crisp sound of swishing the net sounded, Christie knew that the goal had been scored again.

In fact, this is not the first time, even though he has done everything, he is still unable to guard against it.

A little discouraged, but that's normal.

As a defensive player, he knows very well that it doesn't mean that he can really defend the opponent if he does a good job of defending.

Defense has always been very passive. Sometimes, you have done everything, but you still can't defend.

Because some players cannot be restricted at all, and Wang Hao is exactly such a player.

In the offense of the Kings, Peja once again faced Wang Hao's defense and forced a three-pointer.

In fact, in this round of the series, it is not the first time Peja has done so.

No way, Wang Hao's defense didn't give him too many chances, so it was not a good shot to try such opportunities.

Looking back, it was another supersonic attack.

Wang Hao looked up, and the point difference between the two sides was already 6 points, which was considered a small gap.

"It should be over."

He also felt that there was no need to continue the stalemate, score another goal, and continue to widen the point difference.

It is also necessary to expand the point difference to 10 points, and then stabilize the advantage, and the game will basically be stable.

Seeing Wang Hao posing in a three-threat pose, Christie didn't dare to be careless, and the alliance stretched out his hand.

That's right, Christie put her hand directly on Wang Hao's waist, a standard hand check action.

A defensive trick that puts hands on the player's body to sense the offensive player's movements in advance.

Especially the direction of movement, so that defensive players can respond earlier.

Don't underestimate this little amount of advance. In many cases, he can determine the success or failure of the defense.
