I'm a ball devil

Chapter 158
It can be said that Yang Yi's hunch was not very reliable.

The first game between the Sonics and the Spurs ended in four quarters without overtime.

At the last moment, the Spurs focused on besieging Ye Hao, very resolutely.

Once Ye Hao gets the ball, two, three or even four people will attack.

As long as Ye Hao didn't give the ball to Durant, they basically just interfered with the players near the receiver.

After Duncan made a three-pointer to tie the game, they blocked Ye Hao's breakthrough, and in the counterattack, Ginobili made a serpentine breakthrough and scored the ball to regain the lead.

Following Ye Hao and Durant's pick-and-roll, the ball was given to Durant, and Durant hit the iron with a jumper.

For the Spurs, Duncan played Jeff Green in the low post, turned around and hit the ball and scored the ball, opening the point difference to 4 points.

Ye Hao made a strong move from outside the three-point line, causing a foul by Bruce Bowen, walked to the free throw line, and amidst the deafening boos of the audience, he made all three free throws steadily, and then chased the point difference to only 1 point.

It's just that this was the Sonics' last score, and they couldn't put the basketball into the basket after that.

The Spurs relied on Parker's breakthrough layup and scored 2 more points to seal the victory.

At the end of the game, the Spurs narrowly won 103 to 100 with 3 points, defended the home court, and took the lead with a big score of 1 to 0.

In the whole game, for the Spurs, Duncan had a large double-double with 33 points and 15 rebounds, and Ginobili had 18 points, 5 assists and 4 rebounds.

Under Ye Hao's defense, Parker only scored 14 points and 5 assists.

For the Supersonics, Durant scored 28 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists.

Ye Hao scored 36 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, the highest score in the game. After he missed 15 consecutive shots, he still scored 30+ points. His powerful scoring ability really surprised the Spurs In a cold sweat.

He took 33 shots and hit 14 goals, and his shooting percentage was pulled back to 42%.

"In this game, if Ye Hao shoots more accurately and scores two more goals, what will happen? Will the Sonics win?"

"Sure, among the fifteen shots he missed in a row, as long as he can score one more three-pointer, the result may be different."

"Yes, the Sonics with Ye Hao is a team that people dare not underestimate. It is not a playoff team that makes people feel that they will be swept out before the game."

"Ye Hao alone has brought about earth-shaking changes to the entire Sonics team. What he has done alone seems to be more than what LeBron did when he first came to the Cavaliers."

"In the first year, LeBron didn't make the All-Star Game, and he couldn't bring the Cavaliers to the playoffs. Ye Hao did it all."

……

After losing the first match, Ye Hao gained a lot of fans because of it.

Because of his unwillingness to admit defeat, because of his scoring, and because of his coolness...

Various reasons cannot be generalized, but people sympathize with the weak and hope that a hero can stand up and lead the weak team to defeat the strong team.

By the second game, more and more fans emotionally hoped that the Sonics would win. Although intellectually, there were still many people who believed that the Sonics had no chance to win. After all, the strength of the Spurs lies there. The whole league is there for all to see.

There are two days of rest before the start of the second race.

During these two days, Ye Hao adjusted his training content and focused on shooting.

After the activation of the "Iron Maniac" state, his shooting percentage has improved, but he is still practicing hard.

He was very dissatisfied with the result of the first game, and was super upset about losing.

After the game, after he talked with Kobe on the phone, he plunged into the training hall for extra training.

Many teammates, including Durant, Jeff Green and Varejao, also joined in extra training under his influence.

"Win, damn win, I just want to win!"

This is the belief and will that Ye Hao conveyed to his teammates during the extra training, like a seed, rooted in their hearts, waiting to take root and germinate.

The second game was played as scheduled at the Spurs' home court.

At the beginning of this game, the Sonics seemed to be holding back a fire and needed to burn and wreak havoc. They came up and threw basketballs again and again.

Not only Ye Hao made shots, but Durant could also make shots. Varejao and Jeff Green also contributed.

In the opening game, they played a 10-0 spurt for the Spurs, forcing the mosaic old man to reach out for a timeout.

Back after the timeout, the Spurs relied on Duncan and Ginobili to score consecutively to stabilize the situation.

But throughout the first quarter, the Sonics have been playing against the Spurs and have always maintained the lead.

This made the Spurs fans watching the game feel a little aggrieved and depressed.

Let the home team rise up quickly, this is the only thought in their hearts.

Back in the second quarter, the Spurs Parker broke through and scored consecutively, helping the Spurs catch up to only 1 point.

But Ye Hao stood up and gave a response. He fired consecutive shots from the outside, made two three-pointers, and suddenly opened the point difference to 7 points.

In this match, Ye Hao's touch was not like the first match.

If in the first game, his touch was offline for a long time, this game was always online.

The Spurs' defense against him is still the same as before, and it is still the highest level of defense, but when he feels good,
His sudden stop jump shot after the breakthrough, the difficult shot under the siege of several people, the strong shot from the outside line ignoring the defense...how he played it.

This is also the most fundamental reason why the Sonics have been able to maintain their lead.

After halftime, the Sonics led the Spurs by 11 points.

During the intermission, the old man Mosaic adjusted his defensive direction, focusing on defending Durant and other Supersonic players. The defense against Ye Hao was changed to Bowen's main defense, and other players were responsible for harassment.

This is to prevent Ye Hao's teammates from dying, and let Ye Hao score,
Just bet that Ye Hao, no matter how strong he is, can't take down the Spurs.

Undoubtedly, this adjustment of the Spurs is effective, which greatly reduces the support of teammates for Ye Hao.

With the strengthening of defense, Durant seems to have returned to the iron state at the beginning of the regular season.

Jeff Green also seemed a little at a loss.

After all, they are still new recruits stepping onto the playoffs stage for the first time.

Although Ye Hao was still scoring consecutive points, the Spurs still managed to close the score in the third quarter, and successfully overtook the score, and kept it until the end of the game, beating the Sonics 98-92.

马刺队成功的拿下主场两场比赛，大比分2比0领先，离4比0横扫，还差一个2比0。

This is what Bo Wen yelled at Ye Hao at the end of the game.

It is also what the home fans are shouting.

Their goal is undoubtedly to sweep, sweep, sweep!

Without sweeping, how can they show the strength and demeanor of their defending champion team?
Ye Hao just silently pulled up his sweat-soaked jersey and wiped the sweat off his face.

这一场比赛，他个人得到了42分7个篮板4次助攻2个盖帽2次抢断，非常耀眼的数据表现。

It's a pity that he won the stats and lost the game, so the stats are meaningless.

The Spurs' GDP combination scored 67 points, 21 rebounds and 14 assists, leading the team to defeat them.

Durant only scored 14 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, failing to provide enough strong support for Ye Hao.

Now they can only pin their hopes on the next game.

The next game after returning home.

Hope to win at home.

If they still can't win the next game, then this round of the series will really be in a desperate situation.

In history, those who fell behind by a big score of 0 to 3 were eliminated in the end, and there was no one who could reverse and advance in the end.

After losing three games, it is absolutely impossible to not lose a game in the next four games.

Therefore, in the next match, they must fight to the death and try to win it.
