Chapter 197 The end of the season

Returning to the game, as expected, Phil Jackson made personnel adjustments.

Ron Harper, who was more defensive, was replaced, and his three-point shooting was really unsatisfactory.

The one who was returned to the field was Fisher, the little fish.

Seeing this scene, Wang Hao lost his composure for an instant. I have to say that the Lakers' lineup is really not simple.

Except for O'Neal, the other four people on the field all have the ability to kill.

Needless to say, Kobe Bryant, Fisher and Robert Holly are also famous for their big hearts.

Even Glenn Rice is a well-known shooter, and three-point shooting is one of his strengths.

In other words, except for one O'Neal, the Lakers have four people who can execute the final attack.

Others are clever women who cannot make a living without rice, but when it comes to Phil Jackson, it is clear that he has never fought for such a wealthy life.

Originally, Wang Hao was still thinking that although he had not communicated with Paul Westphal, he would be able to find out and fill in the gaps after he came on the field.

How to check now? One man is guarding four?

This is definitely impossible, we can only choose.

Who to choose? Who is Phil Jackson most likely to arrange?

First of all, it must be Kobe. After all, he is the Lakers' most reliable outside star.

In any case, in this case, stars with super abilities are definitely the most trustworthy.

And then there's Robert Hawley.

Fisher just came on the field, which was actually a bit confusing. Robert Holly's ability to hit the fatal blow is more worthy of trust.

"Beep!"

As the referee's whistle blows, the game begins.

Kobe was assigned to serve a throw-in, and the person who responded was not anyone else, but O'Neal.

O'Neal holds the ball in the high post, while others quickly run tactics.

The crowd that had been huddled together instantly exploded and ran in all directions.

Wang Hao followed Glen Rice closely, and the location Glen Rice ran to was clearly the bottom corner on the other side.

It is obviously impossible for O'Neal to pass the ball across the court to Glen Rice.

In other words, Glen Rice is not the final choice. This is Wang Hao's judgment.

Kobe also unexpectedly ran into the court from the sideline, and everyone's eyes were focused on him for an instant.

It is not uncommon for players to serve the ball outside the sideline and then come in to receive the ball. This tactical arrangement is not uncommon at all.

At this time, O'Neal still passed the ball out, and it was clearly outside the 45-degree three-point line on his other side.

That's right, it's Holly standing here.

Because Lewis double-teamed Kobe and prevented Kobe from catching the ball, Lewis clearly meant to let go of Robert Holly.

I have to say, this is fatal.

Double-teaming Kobe and preventing Kobe from catching the ball was certainly a success, but it spared a cold-faced killer.

After Robert Holly caught the ball, he didn't have time to think too much because a figure was already flying towards him.

Yes, this is Wang Hao.

Wang Hao has seized the opportunity, decisively let go of his defense, and chose to defend Robert Holly.

As for Holly passing the ball again, Wang Hao is not worried at all because there is not enough time.

Ten seconds seems like a lot of time, after all, it only takes a few tenths of a second to complete the kill.

But the problem is that it took a lot of time from Kobe to serve, to O'Neal to support him, and other people to move.

When the ball was passed to Robert Holley, it only took less than 3 seconds.

How could it be possible to pass the ball again at this time?

What's more, as a famous big-hearted player in the league, Robert Holly believed in himself even more in this situation.

However, Wang Hao had already reacted in advance.

Robert Holly did not dare to be careless. He wanted to make more preparations but also wanted to take action quickly.

In just this moment of hesitation, Wang Hao was already approaching.

Robert Holly did not dare to delay any longer and took action quickly, but Wang Hao had already swooped over.

The ball passed Wang Hao's fingertips and flew toward the basket with a spin, looking like he was going to score a goal.

However, under everyone's gaze, the basketball hit the front of the basket hard and then bounced high.

Reuben Patterson protected the rebound and the game was over!

Wang Hao didn't even look back, he clenched his fist tightly and seemed to be full of confidence in the ball.

Robert Holly looked at Wang Hao without saying a word, with a clearly uncomfortable look on his face.

Wang Hao knew that the ball would not go in, so he naturally knew it too.

Because the moment he took the shot, he saw the basketball passing by Wang Hao's fingertips.

This is not a description, but a statement. Yes, Wang Hao touched the ball, and it was even considered a block.

Of course, Wang Hao didn't celebrate at the first moment. After all, he often encountered the original time and space and was blocked, but the ball was scored instead.

Of course, this kind of thing only happens on the basketball court, not in the NBA professional arena.

For professional players, luck is always secondary, only strength is the most important.

"King, it was a near-win, and we equalized the score."

Under the shouts of the on-site DJ, the SuperSonics fans at the scene were completely excited for this hard-won victory.

In this game, Wang Hao scored 41 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 blocks and 2 steals.

In addition to him, Gary Payton also scored 22 points, 5 rebounds, 15 assists, and 2 steals.

20+15+5, such data is absolutely amazing.

But even if the two of them played like this, they could only barely win against the Lakers, and the win was very thrilling.

On the other hand, for the Lakers, O'Neal had 22 points and 13 rebounds, and Kobe had 25 points, but only shot 38% from the field.

In addition, only Glenn Rice scored in double figures. He scored 17 points and 4 rebounds.

Not only did Gary Payton and Wang Hao perform well, but the Big Three of the Lakers also cooperated very well.

So, today's luck is on the side of the SuperSonics.

Summarizing the two games, it seems that if the Sonics want to win, they must satisfy two possibilities.

The first is to explode all the seeds, each one in better condition than the last.

The second is that while the SuperSonics are lucky and their core players perform well, they also need the Lakers to perform poorly.

To put it bluntly, this is the process of winning two home games, which is not easy.

Although they won the game, for professionals, they still saw the entire series clearly.

The SuperSonics have strength and hard work, but obviously the Lakers are the stronger team.

As for whether it is possible for the Lakers to perform poorly in a row?

It's certainly possible, and if that's the case, it just means the Lakers don't deserve to move on.

However, others don't know, and Wang Hao still doesn't know, this is a team that is about to start a dynasty era.

2:2

In any case, the series was evened, and the Sonics were temporarily out of danger of being eliminated.

Such a good situation naturally warrants a good celebration.

No, general manager Willie Walker went out of his way to find Wang Hao and highly praised Wang Hao's performance.

Not only that, he also made many promises.

In terms of regular season performance, Wang Hao is still just a rookie with potential, which is very worth looking forward to.

But in the playoffs, Wang Hao's performance has conquered everyone, including the team managers.

Especially Wang Hao's contract is about to expire.

If possible, no one can refuse Wang Hao, and they will fight for it with all their strength.

In terms of competing for Wang Hao, the SuperSonics has an advantage, but it is not a sure thing. Naturally, they have to build a good personal relationship.
