The Los Angeles Lakers and the Seattle Supersonics fought fiercely in the second half of the second quarter. Flesh and flesh collided violently. In the first half, they were able to catch up with the score, and the Seattle SuperSonics wanted to widen the gap as much as possible.

The two sides escalated the battle to a fever pitch, but the Los Angeles Lakers never got close to the score. Fortunately, in the final period of time, the Seattle Supersonics could not widen the gap with Stephen alone, even though Stephen was on the court alone. When he was on the court, there was no restriction on his shot rights, and Stephen's shot times increased significantly, but his shooting percentage showed a downward trend.

But even so, Stephen scored 28 points in the first half, surpassing Kevin Durant's 21 points. You must know that the Sonics only scored 61 points in the first half. Kobe Bryant also scored 24 points, barely catching up with Stephen's score.

After the two teams entered the halftime break, the duo on the commentary side began to get busy again. It was still a question-and-answer format. Mark Jackson was in charge of asking questions, and Jeff Van Gundy was in charge of answering.

"The game has progressed so far. According to the state shown by the two teams, who do you think is most likely to win this game?" Mark Jackson was the first to speak. In fact, this is self-evident, but he said The question is to use Jeff Van Gundy to say some reasons to make the team feel quite reasonable, and then the development of the game is as they expected, then their goal will be achieved. [

Generally speaking, the pair of them seldom tear each other down, but they praise each other a little more, and most of what they introduce is relatively professional, one observes the game from the perspective of a head coach, and the other observes the game from the perspective of an athlete. Then express your own views and opinions through discussions, confirm and compete with each other. Although the smell of gunpowder between them is not so strong, behind the harmonious atmosphere, there are also undercurrents.

"Although the gap between the two sides is only seven points, for a game like the conference finals, such a gap is almost negligible, and the Los Angeles Lakers also played a wave of counterattack momentum near the end, but from the first half Judging from the state of the two teams, the Seattle SuperSonics have a far greater chance of winning this game than the Los Angeles Lakers.” When Jeff Van Gundy was in the position of head coach, his words were far less than that of a commentator. The post is so fluent, and his comments are very direct and bold. Sometimes his words are sharp, and the commentators are almost the best among the commentators. They don’t make mysteries. He likes to explain things clearly. This is why many audiences like his commentary.

"There doesn't seem to be any difference in their status. Why do you say that?" Mark Jackson frowned and asked, although in his opinion, he was also more optimistic about the Sonics, but for the Sonics' lead in the first half, he didn't like it. I think the main credit should be attributed to Kevin Durant. If it weren't for his explosion, the Sonics would not have taken the initiative from the beginning, and excluding his explosive scoring, the Sonics and the Lakers should be able to score. Between siblings, there is no difference.

"Who do you think is in a more difficult situation between the two of them in the sixth game?"

"This is of course the Los Angeles Lakers, because if they lose this game, they will be eliminated." Mark Jackson felt that asking himself such a simple question was a bit insulting to his IQ, and looked at Jeff Van Gundy dissatisfied. glance.

"So do you think the Los Angeles Lakers are playing like a team that's going to be eliminated?" Jeff Van Gundy continued rhetorically.

Mark Jackson frowned and thought about it carefully, a little hesitant, but he still replied: "It doesn't look like it, but they played very well. So far, they are only behind by seven points. Compared with the previous two games It's much better."

"So you think the Sonics have done their best?" Jeff Van Gundy smiled and asked again.

"Not really." Mark Jackson replied still not too sure.

"In my opinion, even though the Los Angeles Lakers are on the verge of being eliminated, they still play like a high-ranking aristocratic team. Like the current Cavaliers, they are competing with their opponents upright. Although this style of play is effective, it is not enough to defeat the more powerful Sonics. At this time, what is actually needed is to take off the armor, get off the mount, and fight with the opponent shirtless , using all their own weapons, including nails, teeth, and fists, instead of just relying on conventional offensive methods like now, in other words, if this method is effective, they will not be left behind." Jeff Van Gundy paused, before Mark Jackson could chime in, and continued

"But the Sonics are not the same. Whether they are leading, or they are behind, or they are almost going to enter the finals, the highest stage, they have never changed themselves. Even before, they insisted on their own style of play. , because the facts have proved that this style of play is very effective, they work harder to defend, work harder to attack, they play better than before, the Lakers have not done this, so I think the Lakers The odds of winning are much smaller than the Sonics."

"I understand. What you're saying is that the Sonics have always adhered to the style of play they are most familiar with and are most used to, and they are playing harder. The Los Angeles Lakers are on the backward side, but they haven't done it. That's it. Right." After hearing Jeff Van Gundy's words, Mark Jackson suddenly felt that the fog in his heart suddenly became clear and became transparent. Thinking about the performance of the two teams, it was indeed as Jeff Van Gundy said.

"And it's not just that, in terms of the thickness of the lineup, the Sonics are better than the Lakers. As far as this game is concerned, the Los Angeles Lakers have basically come up with everything they can, including Kobe Bryant. With Leant's 24 points, they have no spare power to play, and there is no potential to tap, but in contrast, do you think the Sonics have gone all out?" Jeff Van Gundy continued.

"Why not?" Mark Jackson felt that the Sonics had almost performed well. Hearing what Jeff Van Gundy said, it seemed that the Sonics still had a lot of potential to tap.

"Do you think Stephen can only do this? Do you think Yao Ming has been defended by the Lakers? Do you think it's normal for Russell Westbrook, who performed so well in the first and second games? The Sonics are far from being at their best, but the LA Lakers are pretty close, so I really don't like the LA Lakers. Jeff Van Gundy said it for sure.

What he said made the fans in Los Angeles scold him for being partial to the Seattle Supersonics. Isn’t it because the Supersonics have his disciple Yao Ming? It’s so good, but for most neutral fans, But I feel that what Jeff Van Gundy said makes sense.

Chinese fans in particular feel that the Lakers are on the verge of being eliminated, and they need to show the courage to break the boat and put all their eggs in one basket to win the game. Not working hard enough, but it’s not really hard work. I don’t feel like the Supersonics are playing hard enough, and the Lakers are indeed just like what Jeff Van Gundy said, they can’t let go of their own airs. There is no such cruelty as life and death.

Because of Yao Ming's relationship, China's ball team has a natural affection for Jeff Van Gundy. After all, under Jeff Van Gundy's hands, Yao Ming has grown into a top center in the league. When he coached the Rockets, the team never followed him. Yao Ming had any problems. Although he relied heavily on Yao Ming, he never used Yao Ming too much. After being replaced by Rick Adelman, he wanted to fuck Yao Ming to death, so Rick Adelman is popular among Chinese fans. In my heart, it is synonymous with villains, and Jeff Van Gundy's image is extremely tall.

So for Jeff Van Gundy's words, I feel very convinced, and except for the die-hard fans of the Lakers or Kobe Bryant, most Chinese fans also subconsciously hope that the Supersonics can win, so I follow those who are optimistic about the Supersonics' victory. Ideas are also easy to resonate with. [

After a while, the second half of the game began. Unlike before, this time Stephen sat on the court from the beginning, Kevin Durant and Yao Ming teamed up, Coupard was the power forward, and Russell was the shooting guard. El Westbrook, the point guard is Jarrett Jack, this lineup has never been used by the Sonics in the previous games, and such a lineup suddenly appeared, which makes people puzzled and does not know Carlesimo What articles are sold in the stomach.

Phil Jackson thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't figure out what the significance of this lineup is. Yao Ming and Coupard cooperate, and the height and confrontation are there, but they are not very good at dealing with outside impact. As for the double point guard's back The Sonics have used the field combination, but it is paired with a small inside lineup.

Such a double center, double point guard lineup and style of play are really rare, and the Sonics have never used it before, which made the Lakers dare not make random mistakes. After playing a few rounds carefully, The Lakers found that this lineup doesn't have much power. Although it looks bluffing, it doesn't have much lethality, except for defense. If they can't come down, and the inside line can't be connected at all, I don't know what Carlesimo is planning to do with such a lineup.
