Starting from the last bus in the NBA

Chapter 248

115:103
In the end, when the whistle sounded at the end of the game, the scores of the two sides were completely frozen.

Regardless of the fact that the Kings only lost 12 points in the end, in fact, the point difference was maintained at around 20 points most of the time.

It wasn't until the last four or five minutes that the Kings players made an onslaught to narrow the point difference.

However, whether it is 10 points or 20 points, it cannot change the result of the Kings losing.

After winning this game, the score of the two sides has reached 3:1, and the Supersonics have won the match point.

In the next three games, they only need to win one more game to advance to the Western Conference Finals.

As for the Kings, if they want to turn defeat into victory, they must win all the remaining three games.

This is obviously impossible.

Not to mention, in the next three games, the Sonics still have two home games.

Otherwise, why would it be said that this game is a battle of life and death for the Kings.

Once they lose, they stand on the edge of a cliff.

In this game, the most important player to win the game is naturally the supersonic star Wang Hao.

In this game, he personally scored 43 points, 8 rebounds and 11 assists, almost a super triple-double.

In fact, in the last few minutes of the fourth quarter, Wang Hao was a bit concerned about rebounding.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the Kings suddenly gave up.

The Kings replaced all the main players, and the Supersonics will naturally do the same. This is also an unspoken rule.

It's just that when Paul Westphal replaced Wang Hao, he actually asked him.

"Wang, the triple-double is only two rebounds away, why don't you go on the court and do it?"

What do you say?What do you say?

What to brush?Is he that kind of player?It's too shameless to score points and rebounds.

"It's just a triple-double. In fact, I don't care. For me, being able to win is enough."

Hearing this, Paul Westphal looked at Wang Hao with admiration and gave him a thumbs up.

Then, he replaced Wang Hao.

To be honest, at that second, Wang Hao was a little dumbfounded, he was just being modest for a while, so you can't ask again?
Well, he forgot that this is America, not China.

Americans are not humble. If you say you don't care, people will take it as if you don't care.

Thinking of this, the regret in his heart!
Not only that, but the way he looked at Paul Westphal was a bit uncomfortable. These directors don't have eyesight!
Do you still need to ask this kind of thing?Why don't you just arrange for me to play?
I have to say, to be a coach, you still have to learn from Director Lu. Look at this coach, how well-informed is he?

It's a pity to fail to get a triple-double in the playoffs, but it's okay, just win.

After four games, the situation in the West is already clear.

Needless to say, the Supersonics, with a 3:1 lead over the Kings, are unlikely to be overturned!
Then there's the Lakers.

Well, there is no need to say more about this, because they have successfully advanced to the Western Conference Finals.

That's right, after returning to the home court, the Lakers won another two consecutive victories.

In this way, the NBA championship of the previous year, the Spurs, which was favored by many experts and media, was directly swept out.

It's kind of hard to imagine, to be honest.

You know, during the regular season, the momentum of the Spurs was quite hot.

The regular season record even surpassed the Lakers, just behind the Sonics.

As a result, in the playoffs, they were swept out 4:0, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

It's just that, looking at the performance of the players on both sides, it is actually not difficult for the Spurs to lose.

In these four games, Kobe was definitely the biggest contributor to the Lakers' win, averaging 33+7+7 per game.

To be able to play such data in the playoffs, I have to say, it is indeed an exaggeration.

At the same time, it also shows that the outside players of the Spurs really can't limit Kobe.

In addition, O'Neal averaged 27 points and 13 rebounds per game, with a stable and efficient output.

Facing an OK combination in such a state, the Spurs really have no chance of winning.

Let alone the Spurs, any team would have a headache seeing such a Lakers team.

As for the east, it is caught in a melee.

First of all, the numbers team and the Raptors. The Raptors, who originally had an away victory, have a lot of advantages.

As a result, in the fourth game, they were abruptly pulled back by the digital team.

It's not just a matter of winning or losing, but the Raptors once again ceding the advantage.

Not only the advantage in the big score, but also the home field advantage.

There is one thing to say, in this game, the leading stars of both sides played really badly in this game.

First, Iverson threw 30 balls, and then hit 20 irons, almost smashing the Raptors' basket.

We have reason to suspect that this is Iverson's malicious revenge on the Raptors!
Not counting free throws, he only scored 30 points in 23 shots. This f*cking efficiency is enough.

You thought Iverson played badly, and there were worse.

It is estimated that Iverson hit 20 irons and smashed his basket a little crookedly. Carter smashed it 19 times and smashed the basket back.

He made 27 of 8 shots, less than 27% of his shots, not counting free throws, and only 17 points were accounted for in [-] shots.

This game was purely a competition of who played worse.

To be honest, when he saw the video of this game, Wang Hao was a little skeptical, whether the two bought peripherals and played match-fixing!
Especially Carter, just made 29 of 19 shots in the last game and scored 50 points. Is this not enough?
That's right, maybe the touch was used up in the last game.

The two sides returned to the same starting line, which is definitely not a good thing for the Raptors, after all, there is no home court advantage.

As for the Bucks and Hornets, they each defended two home courts, which can be regarded as a normal time for the time being.

It's just that, after all, the Bucks have the home court advantage. If the Hornets want to win, they have to actively seek changes.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Wang Hao, and have nothing to do with Supersonic.

They just paid a little attention to the game situation, after all, their game is not over yet.

It was still the first day, and the game returned to Seattle again.

However, there were not many surprises in this game.

From the beginning of the game, the Sonics had a firm advantage, and the score remained at 10 points.

Not only the home field advantage bonus, but also the supersonic state, which is also very good.

In the first quarter of the game, Wang Hao and Gary Payton scored 21 points together, helping the team establish the 10-point advantage
In the third quarter, Wang Hao broke out again, hitting 5 three-pointers in a single quarter, completely shattering the game.

As for Wang Hao, it was another 30+ performance.

On the other hand, Kobe had a brilliant performance in the playoffs, and Wang Hao was not far behind.

110:98
Another victory at supersonic speed.

"Congratulations to the Sonics, who won this series with a score of 4:1 and advanced to the Western Conference Finals."

Sun Zhengping's voice sounded, this slightly familiar sentence was indeed spread to thousands of households in China again.

In this season's playoffs, CCTV broadcasted all 8 games of the Sonics live.

Hearing the Sonics win again and again, I'm used to it.

Watching the teams they support continue to win, this is undoubtedly the happiest thing for Huaxia fans.

At the same time, Wang Hao and the Supersonics have more fans in China.

On the other side, Zhang Lili's voice also sounded: "Yes, it can be seen that there is still a clear gap between the Kings and the Supersonics.

It can be said that the Sonics are already one of the top teams in the NBA, including the Lakers and Spurs.

As for other teams, relatively speaking, they are all a bit worse. "

"The Sonics have advanced to the Western Conference Finals, and next they will meet the Lakers, last year's NBA champions.

Director Zhang thinks, what chance does the Sonics have to win?Compared with the Lakers, what are the advantages and disadvantages of the Sonics? "

For this question, Zhang Weiping has been prepared for a long time, in fact, he has thought about it a long time ago.

Not only that, he also wrote articles and published them in magazines.

After all, after Game [-] between the Sonics and the Kings, the balance was clear.

The Sonics reached the Western Conference finals, and then met the Lakers, not to mention a certainty, but the possibility is very high.

"The next game, the Sonics against the Lakers, is definitely the best matchup of the year.

It turned out that everyone thought that the matchup between the Lakers and the Spurs was also very exciting, but the result was a bit disappointing.

It's just that, the next game between the Lakers and the Supersonics will not disappoint everyone.

Moreover, this round of the series is likely to determine the chance of the NBA championship this season. "

Hearing this, Sun Zhengping hurriedly asked: "The finals haven't been played yet, this is just the Western Conference finals."

Zhang Lili said, "To be honest, no matter who appears in the Eastern team, the probability of winning the championship is not high.

This is not what I said alone. In fact, many media in the United States think so. "

Sun Zhengliang was afraid that Zhang Weiping would talk too much, so he hurriedly dragged the question back: "Then analyze and analyze the respective advantages between the Supersonics and the Lakers."

Zhang Lili was not polite, and said directly: "The Lakers, needless to say, his advantage is inside.

With O'Neal and a historic level of inside offense, no matter which team encounters it, it will be a big trouble.

Don't look at the Sonics' inside line is not bad, there is Ewing, there is PJ Brown, but it is not enough at all!
You see, even the Spurs, with Duncan and David Robinson, still can't completely limit O'Neal.

As for the supersonic's advantage, it is naturally on the outside, the outside combination of Wang Hao and Gary Payton.

It can be said that the guard line composed of the two is definitely the top in the NBA.

More importantly, both of them are both offensive and defensive, and can basically crush all back line combinations.

From the previous two rounds, it is not difficult to see that the Lakers' ability to not lose a game was not because of O'Neal.

O'Neal's dominance is still there, but it's because of Kobe that he can have such an obvious advantage.

Today's Kobe has grown into a top outside player in the NBA. Their combination of inside and outside is really perfect.

In the previous seven games, Kobe averaged 33 points per game, which is the key to the Lakers' ability to sweep their opponents.

But when it comes to the game against the Sonics, Kobe obviously won't play so easily.

Whether it is Wang Hao or Gary Payton, they can face Kobe in defense, and the two can even fight with each other.

And when it comes to the Lakers' defensive round, Kobe has only one, who should he defend?Wang Hao, or Gary Payton? "

……

The analysis was as fierce as a tiger, as if he had said a lot, and it seemed to be quite reasonable.

But when I think about it carefully, it seems that I didn't say anything.

It's just that the majority of Huaxia fans don't care about this, they are all having a big discussion.

Especially with the development of the Internet in recent years, there have been many forums, and there are also many forums about NBA and basketball.

"Lakers VS Supersonics, who will win?"

"Nonsense, of course the Sonics, this is the regular season champion."

"There's nothing to say, of course I support Brother Hao."

"It's hard to say, the Lakers were the champions last season!"

"What about the championship? It means that O'Neal is better, but as long as the Supersonics run, O'Neal is useless."

"That's right, what is that Kobe called? Could it be that he can beat brother Hao?"

……

No matter when, there are true fans. Of course, they unconditionally support their favorite teams.

And because of Wang Hao's existence, the Supersonics already have a sense of being the home team of Huaxia fans.

So, even Kobe, when he appeared with Wang Hao, couldn't get any favors.

Of course, today's Kobe is not the star in 2008 who can enjoy exclusive 10-second shots on the Olympic stage.

In the live broadcast room of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, exclusive 10-second footage is already the top treatment.

Of course, Wang Hao doesn't know about these things, but the match between the Supersonics and the Lakers has been heated up by NBA officials.

NBA officials also know that instead of expecting the Eastern Conference champions to rise, they will play a wonderful series in the finals.

It's better to look forward to a classic matchup between the Sonics and the Lakers. The most classic Western Conference Finals is actually quite good.

It can be said that in the past few days, Wang Hao has to accept interviews every day, and it is interviewed by several media.

Not only that, from the local media in Seattle, to the media in Los Angeles, and then to the entire United States, there is news about Wang Hao every day.

The game analysis between the Supersonics and the Lakers, the matchup analysis between Wang Hao and Kobe, everything.

Paul Westphal also hopes to have a quiet preparation environment, but unfortunately, this is impossible.

After all, the NBA is a business league, and the Sonics, as an NBA team, also want to make money.

Especially Howard Schultz, the owner of the Sonics, is a little crazy, with Starbucks advertisements everywhere.

Now, the entire NBA knows that after Schultz bought the Sonics, he made a lot of money.

In just one year, the Sonics became the regular season champions and reached the Western Conference Finals.

It can be said that he is already making money for the Sonics today.

Moreover, this has not counted the various advertising blessings brought to Starbucks because of the supersonic speed.

Anyway, in one sentence, Howard Schultz made a lot of money.

And this also made him a little more exaggerated. Starbucks can be seen everywhere in the Sonics, which is a bit annoying.
