Chapter 186 Kobe’s dissatisfaction

The series ended and we successfully advanced to the Western Conference semifinals.

In any case, the team's goal was finally achieved initially, and the tight string was finally loosened.

I haven't had such a peaceful sleep in a long time.

Whether competing on the field or dealing with reporters, it is never an easy task.

Tomorrow, the Eastern and Western semifinals will begin.

Since the SuperSonics and Lakers are playing Game 5, they won't have much rest time.

Tomorrow, they will face the Lakers.

Therefore, there is not much rest time at all. Being able to take half a day off is already a favor from the head coach.

After lunch, the team will head to Los Angeles and have a field acclimatization training session in the evening.

Tomorrow night, the decisive battle begins at Staples Center.

"Holy crap, no!"

Seeing the newspaper in his hand, Wang Hao was speechless. What could this be?

Jelani noticed Wang Hao's condition and said, "Wang, what's wrong? Are you surprised by the media's comments?"

Well, after this series, the media's evaluation of Wang Hao is still very high.

Of course, all this stems from his wonderful performance.

However, what made Wang Hao feel depressed was another thing, Duncan's injury report.

The meniscus of the left leg was torn, and the injury was so serious that there was basically no possibility of conservative treatment.

Surgery means removing the meniscus.

The human body structure is the most sophisticated, and the impact of removing a certain part of the body is self-evident.

Especially for athletes, this is definitely a huge blow, and they are likely to be unable to recover.

Of course, he wasn't joking about Duncan, and he wouldn't do such a shameless thing.

The reason why he felt depressed was simply because this injury was so familiar.

In the original time and space, Duncan also encountered this injury in this year.

However, the time of injury changed from the regular season to the playoffs, and it was also the last moment when the Spurs were eliminated.

In other words, due to the change in time, this series was very difficult for the Sonics.

Compared with the history of the original time and space, it seems that nothing has changed, except that the SuperSonics game has become more difficult to win.

Wang Hao always felt that something was wrong and that he was being targeted.

So this is done intentionally by the system?

He doesn't know why, although there is no evidence, he just feels that way, and that's the fact.

This system is a scam!

For some reason, Wang Hao always felt that this was just the beginning, and he would encounter even more unreliable things in the future.

Due to tight time and heavy tasks, the coaching staff began to make tactical arrangements on the way from Seattle to Los Angeles.

Not only the SuperSonics, but the Lakers also started preparations for the Western Conference semifinals early in the morning.

In the last game, they played at home, and now in the Western Conference semifinals, they also play at home, which saves them from the fatigue of travel.

Early this morning, everyone gathered at the training facility, and even O'Neal showed up on time.

I have to say that the five games against the Kings can be regarded as waking them up to a certain extent.

The Lakers and O'Neal, who were still a bit arrogant at first, have now calmed down a lot.

From a certain perspective, the difficult encounter in the first round of the playoffs gave the Lakers a completely new look.

This is definitely not a good thing for the Sonics.

If we compare the Lakers' mentality in the first round of the playoffs to the semifinals, maybe the SuperSonics really have a chance.

Even if the Kings are replaced by the SuperSonics, they really have a great possibility of overthrowing the Lakers.

"Seattle has only two cores, which is also the key to our defense in this series."

In the locker room of the Lakers training facility, Phil Jackson was making arrangements before the game.

Offense mainly involves practicing tactics, defense requires pertinence, and understanding the opponent is the top priority.

"Gary, one of the best point guards in the NBA and the best defender, is the core of Seattle.

The other one is Wang, a newcomer, but after one season, he is already the last swingman in the league.

In the first round of the playoffs, Gary averaged 22.8 points, 4.5 rebounds and 8.4 assists per game, a very comprehensive performance.

Not only that, he also has a 45.2% shooting percentage, and his low post singles are very threatening.

Then there is Wang. In the game against the Spurs, he averaged 24.2 points, 6.5 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game.

In addition, he also had 2.2 steals and 1.6 blocks, a very versatile performance on both offense and defense.

Not only that, his shooting percentage is also amazing, 49.3%, which is amazing.

Also keep in mind that he took 6.2 three-pointers per game and made 2.8 of them.

You know, their opponent is the Spurs, and even we must admit the Spurs' defense.

This shows that Wang's offensive choices are very good and he rarely forces a shot. To be honest, he really doesn't look like a new player.

In my opinion, he is the more important core of Seattle, and he is also the last defender to perform in the first round of the playoffs."

…

Phil Jackson's original intention was to analyze the Sonics, especially the strength of its two cores.

However, Wang Hao's performance as a newcomer was so great that even Phil Jackson couldn't help but praise him.

This is a perfectly normal thing, but to some people, it sounds like a different story.

Best performance? Did you make a mistake? Did you not look at me?

Except for a certain black mamba, there is no one else who could have such an idea.

Although I have had several friendly exchanges with Wang Hao, no one can do it when encountering this kind of thing.

He is the best one.

There is naturally a reason why Kobe has this idea, and it stems from his wonderful performance in the first round.

O'Neal also had sluggish performances, but Kobe Bryant performed brilliantly in five games.

In the first round of the playoffs, Kobe averaged 27.8 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game, a very good performance.

However, the data cannot fully explain the problem.

After all, the opponents are different.

In the five games, the Lakers averaged 90 shots per game, while the SuperSonics only took 78 shots per game.

The rhythm of the two groups' matches was so different that there was no way to make a direct comparison.

What's more, the opponent the Sonics faced was one of the best defensive teams in the league.

As for the Kings, does this team have defense?

Not only are they unable to defend well, they are also constantly increasing their speed and playing faster, just to attack.

Phil Jackson, who was speaking seriously, suddenly felt a chill behind his back, as if he was being stared at by something.

Fortunately, this feeling only passed away briefly, and he didn't pay much attention to it and continued to make defensive arrangements.

Kobe didn't dare to attack the head coach.

However, he has decided to entertain the rookie well in the next game.
