Showdown, I'm the God of Basketball

Chapter 526 I really want to be you
The first game between the East and the West ended quickly.

There is no picture above the entire Eastern Conference. The Cavaliers beat the Pacers 122:95, and the Celtics beat the Eagles 106:80.

Instead, the Nets and the Raptors had a tough fight, and finally relied on Carter's three-pointer to beat the Raptors 102:101.

"Since ancient times, teams in the Eastern Conference have been either not strong or very strong, so it is not common to see the pictures on the next gram.

But the West is different. There are too many strong teams, and they always have to fight in the first game of the playoffs. "

Jordan turned off the TV. Although the battle in the West will be more intense, he still can't help but pay attention to the situation of the three teams in the East.

The Cavaliers are very strong, even making Jordan feel that when the Bulls dynasty he leads meets the current Cavaliers, they may not necessarily win the game.

Although the Celtics' Big Three are not as good as they are, their bench strength is one in the league.

As for the Bucks.
Jordan shook his head: "The Magic still don't have much experience in the playoffs, so they were beaten by Zhao Hao's nose.

Although I like Zhao Hao quite a lot, I am not optimistic about them. It is impossible for a team with outside three-pointers to win the championship. "

Pippen on the side nodded in agreement, and talked about the Western Conference that he was quite concerned about.

"The Lakers won the Warriors. The difference in strength between the two teams is huge. The Spurs also defeated the Jazz without any surprise. Salt Lake City's new black and white pair is not ready.

It's just that the third-ranked Hornets lost to the Lone Ranger, which is quite surprising.

They suffered a big loss on the inside. David West couldn't guard Nowitzki, and the offensive end was blown up. In addition, the Mavericks have a substitute lineup that the entire league is greedy for. The Hornets' substitutes are only A little bit better than the Bucks.

The Nuggets also played very anxiously with the Suns, and finally won the game with the double lore of Iverson and Anthony. "

Jordan listened with gusto, and the battle in the west was indeed more intense, and it was a big victory like the east.

"Although the Cavaliers have a strong lineup and strength, it is not certain that they will win the championship. At least in my opinion, the Lakers and Spurs in the West have the hope of defeating them."

Pippen expressed his opinion.

It's just that Brother Pi, who is nicknamed Batman, has always had a low IQ, and would always say some shocking words that are not surprising, but when he heard the other party's words, Jordan nodded in agreement.

The Lakers have Kobe, Garnett, and Odom, and this season also introduced the veteran fisher Fisher. Both the starting lineup and the bench lineup are good.

On the basis of the original trident, the Spurs traded O'Neal in the middle of this season, and the lineup is terrifying.

Although O'Neal is 36 years old, Jordan really wants to say, didn't he lead the team to win the championship when he was 35 years old?
And O'Neal, who was also considered the No. 2000 player in the league from 2003 to 1, must still have oil in the playoffs.

"However, I still think the Cavaliers will win!"

The battle between the East and the West continues.

The Bucks host Game [-] of the Magic.

The Magic, who had already learned a lesson, did not dare to allow Yao Ming to score so easily inside and outside, so in this game, Yao Ming double-teamed as soon as he got the ball, which became the main theme of the whole game.

"Fortunately, we have been trying to get Yao Ming to support in the high position throughout the season, so even in the face of double-teaming, he has many ways to deal with it."

Cole is full of confidence, but he doesn't dare to underestimate the Magic.

Judging from the process of the last game, the Magic is a very tenacious team. Unlike most teams that lose heart when they are led, they will definitely rebound strongly in this game.

"Yao Ming was double-teamed, and Zhao Hao always had a person in front of him not to give him an easy shot. In this way, the character of the Bucks will be tested!"

Zhang Weiping has never felt at ease about the starting players and core rotation players of the Bucks.

It is really that they have had too many ups and downs throughout the season, which is hard to reassure.

Ramon Sessions averaged 8 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists per game. He is typically strong in offense and weak in defense. He is reliable in three-pointers, with a shooting percentage of 42%.

Desmond Mason is the complete opposite. He is weak offensively and strong defensively. Because of his strong muscles, he often goes to the inside to take on the heavy responsibility of defense. He averages 7 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists per game, but his three-point shooting percentage is only a poor 30%.

The eyebrowless hero Villanueva is considered to be the best starting player for the Bucks except for Zhao Hao and Yao Ming. He averaged 12 points, 7 rebounds and 1 assist per game, and made 34% of his three-pointers. He is a proper perimeter player. forward type.

Just because of his physical talent, Villanueva often suffers a lot when defending the flying inside line.

"That is to say, when Dayao was double-teamed and Zhao Hao was marked, they had to stand up.

But who among them can stand up? "

Yu Jia said worriedly.

Duang!

After Yao Ming was double-teamed, Desmond Mason hit the iron with his first three-pointer.

Howard grabbed the defensive rebound and the Magic counterattacked.

Jameer Nelson made a quick push for an easy two.

The Bucks fans on the sidelines covered their eyes and dared not watch, but they didn't expect a black shadow to appear on the court!
The on-site commentator Kenny Smith couldn't help exclaiming: "It's so fast!"

boom!
Zhao Hao raised his arms, a big hat with a solid top plate!

"This ball is Zhao Hao. Otherwise, the Bucks will be hit by the Magic's double-team defensive strategy at the beginning of the game."

Zhao Hao advanced with the ball and reorganized the offense.

Dayao was double-teamed inside, and it just so happened that the Magic chose to short out Desmond Mason, the most inaccurate Bucks starter.

If Dayao is still allowed to be the pivot of the team to play offense on the court, then the point of opportunity will always be on Desmond.

It is really difficult for the Magic to play like this!

"Continuing to play like this will fall into the trick of the Magic, because Desmond's offense can't kill anyone."

Thinking of this, Zhao Hao quickly signaled to change his style of play again.

Dayao first picks and rolls with him, and then the two appear on the strong side at the same time, and then all other players fall on the weak side.

In this way, if you want to double-team Yao Ming, you can only go to Maurice Evans, who is defending Zhao Hao's Magic team.

Maurice Evans shook his head decisively when he saw the current scene, "Coach Stan Van Gundy said that if the earth does not explode, defending Zhao Hao will not have a holiday, the universe will not restart, and defending Zhao Hao will not rest.

If I dare to double-team Yao Ming now and let Zhao Hao open the next game, then I'm afraid I will be whipped to death immediately after the game is over. "

Seeing Morris Evans in front of him still followed him closely, Zhao Hao also smiled, you are really dedicated.

It's just that in this way, Dayao's dilemma is completely resolved.

Dayao played against Howard one-on-one.

Howard, who had already been crushed by Yao Ming once, dared to be as arrogant as he was before the start of the playoffs, and hurriedly called friends to come over to double-team.

However, Maurice Evans would never dare to let Zhao Hao go, and it is impossible for Nelson to lose Ramon Sessions from beyond the three-point line.

Charlie Villanueva is ambushing in the corner of the weak side. This position is extremely threatening. It is impossible for any experienced player or coach to take the initiative to empty this position.

The rest is the small forward Keith Bogans, who was responsible for the team's double-teaming of Yao Ming.

Howard didn't wait for his teammates for a moment, and couldn't help but glance back.

"Fuck!"

Keith Bogans was kicked by the Bucks small forward Desmond Mason on the outside of the three-point line, so there is no chance to come over!

Swish!
Yao Mingdi ticked in!

"The Bucks are a bunch of shameless people!"

Stan Van Gundy ran to argue with the referee angrily. Although he also knew that it was difficult to make sense, after all, it was a normal position and blocking position, but he just wanted to provoke the Bucks.

"That was the classic singles tactic designed by the Utah Jazz for Iron Elbow Malone, but at that time it was Stockton passing the ball to Malone on the same side, and now it is Zhao Hao passing the ball to Yao Ming."

Reggie Miller couldn't help but want to boast about Zhao Hao.

In terms of his defensive ability and offensive awareness, Zhao Hao is not even weaker than the league's top defenders.

"That's why Zhao Hao has such a breakthrough in assist statistics this season. His ability to pass the ball and organize offense has always been underestimated!"

Cole, who originally planned to call a timeout, suddenly found that the problem on the court was solved so simply and quickly, and he suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of loss in his heart.

"It's the same with me or without me!"

In the first quarter, Yao Ming played comfortably again.

When Howard was defending Yao Ming, he was bullied like a little quail. Who would have thought that this was Howard who could replace James alone in his previous life?

Yao Ming was 10 of 6 in the quarter. Because of the deliberate targeting of the Magic, he also made 4 fouls in a single quarter and scored 16 points and 5 rebounds.

Looking at Yao Ming, who made 4 of 4 free throws, Howard couldn't help but glanced at Michael Ruffin who was about to play in the second quarter.

"Injustice!"

In order to win the game, Stan Van Gundy played Howard for a full 40 minutes in the last game, and now it seems that he intends to continue to do so.

After all, Stan Van Gundy has brought out many disciples in the aspect of deadly fucking players, so it is not surprising at all.

It's just that for almost half of the second quarter, Howard was facing Ruffin's struggle. Once he had a chance, he would slap him.

Clay figurines are still angry, let alone Howard.

After being fouled by Ruffin again and sent to the free throw line, Howard couldn't bear it anymore, and angrily pushed Ruffin.

This push was terrible, and before Ruffin said anything, Yi Jianlian rushed up and threw Howard under the basketball hoop.

The two men said nothing to each other, but seeing Yi Jianlian's angry posture, Howard was really a little scared.

Then Charlie Bell, Roy Ivy, and Bobby Simmons all rushed over and surrounded Howard fiercely, almost on the verge of a fight.

"Get him! Xiao Yi, get him for me, don't be afraid, I'll take care of you!"

Yu Jia from the SSTVC commentary station has been urging Yi Jianlian to do it, but fortunately, Yi Jianlian couldn't hear him, otherwise Lafite would really be in trouble.

Zhang Weiping also covered his face and couldn't help laughing: "Although it's wrong to fight on the court, Chinese players must have such blood!"

The three referees pulled everyone apart, stopped the fight, and at the same time gave Howard and Yi Jianlian a T.

Lu Fen walked up to Yi Jianlian and said, "Brother, thank you for helping me out. I'll pay the fine for you."

Yi Jianlian shook his head, pointed to Zhao Hao who was watching the fun on the bench, and said, "Isn't the eldest brother just using it to pay the fine?"

Zhao Hao: Thank you for remembering me!

On the other side, Howard, who failed to get help from his teammates in the first place, became more and more angry.

Why does someone at the bottom of the league like Ruffin stand up for him when he is bullied, but no one stands up for me when I am bullied?

Seeing Howard threw the towel on the ground angrily, Stan Van Gundy quickly replaced him and adjusted it.

Stan Van Gundy couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief and said: "Howard is a player with outstanding talent, but he is not a player who can be the leader of a team, and his mind is not mature enough to be a top second player.

At least judging from the picture just now, he still needs a long time to hone. "

As Howard was replaced early, the Bucks, which had already had a slight advantage, played better and better.

Yi Jianlian led his substitute teammates to show off, and he can also pass the ball from inside and outside.

The other players of the Bucks also played their roles one after another. Charlie Bell and Roy Ivey hit three-pointers from the outside, and Ruffin also succeeded in stealing chickens under the basket.

15: 8!

After a small high slot, the Bucks also entered the second half with a 60:50 lead.

"It is said that the Bucks' bench players are rubbish and rotten, but now it seems that everyone is wrong, and the Magic did not get any cheap.

The Bucks' substitutes are not even weaker than those veterans who have never won a championship in terms of hard work and competitiveness.

We all misunderstood them! "

It was a rare time for Barkley to speak for someone.

Reggie Miller nodded in agreement.

The unity and competitiveness among the players of this Bucks team is indeed something that most teams do not have.

It's just that in this game, the Magic couldn't even beat the Bucks' bench lineup, and it was even more difficult to win.

In the second half of the game, Yao Ming continued to be full of vitality in the paint, and no one in the entire Magic team could do anything about him.

"Although the Magic gave up the traditional inside to open up space, they have Howard after all, so on the defensive end, the Magic are not afraid of most of the league's inside.

It's just a coincidence that after they met O'Neal, the only remaining penalty area killer in the league-Yao Ming.

Because there is no center of height and weight to confront Yao Ming, this round of the series also lost suspense long before the start. "

Reggie Miller finally explained why he thought the Bucks would win the series the first game.

This is complete suppression!

Barkley also nodded in agreement at this time.

Yao Ming scored another large double-double with 42 points and 12 rebounds in this game, including 11 of 11 free throws, which can be called horror.

The league's No. [-] center, who had been defeated in the first round of the Mosaic team for many years, finally proved his strength.

120: 104.

After the game, Dayao and Zhao Hao were interviewed by Nami Children's Shoes.

When asked about the large double-double of 40+ in two consecutive career playoff games, Yao Ming couldn't help but moisten his eyes.

"I've never taken so many shots in my entire career, and I've never been the team's first offensive core, and I don't even have very many offensive tactics.

But until I came to the Bucks, as long as I have the touch, I can play unlimited singles in the interior, I can also shoot from long distances, and I can even go to the high position to support and play an organization center.”

Speaking of this, Yao Ming couldn't help hugging Zhao Hao affectionately: "Brother, you saved my entire career!
From now on, no one will say that my league's No. [-] center is a vain name. "

Seeing Zhao Hao being hugged out of breath, Nami, who was upset, murmured in a low voice: "Dayao, I really wish it was you now."
