Chapter 249 Western Conference Finals 1
The Western Conference semifinals are over, and the two teams that can advance to the Western Conference finals have already been announced.
However, it's not over yet in the east, so we can only wait.
According to the news that is known so far, the earliest time for the Western Conference Finals to start is May 19.
Because by that time, even if there are seven games in the Eastern Conference finals, it will probably be about the same.
In fact, according to the current situation, it is very likely that the two duels will go to seven games.
It's quite interesting to say that most teams are dragons at home and worms on the road.
As a result, the four teams in the Eastern Conference semifinals were not like this.
In the fifth game, the away teams won one after another.
That's right, the Raptors and Hornets are talking about, especially the Raptors, which has won on the road for the second time.
As a result, when they returned to the home court, both teams lost at the same time.
No wonder the media and fans are not optimistic about the Eastern Conference teams. What the hell are they playing?
There was obviously a chance to seal the victory in one fell swoop, but unfortunately, no one could defeat the opponent in one fell swoop.
From a certain point of view, there is indeed almost no difference in strength, and the opponent's persistence allowed them to win.
But from another perspective, no one can seize the chance of victory because they are not strong enough!
The two Eastern Conference semifinals both reached Game 7, which looked quite intense, but in reality, it was just that.
From the end of the last Western Conference semifinals to the beginning of the Western Conference finals, the SuperSonics have five days of rest.
This time is enough for them to make tactical arrangements.
Not only that, all the major media are staring at them, and relevant interviews are naturally inevitable.
Not just the American media, but also domestically.
No, after Zhang Weiping finished commentating on the Western Conference semifinals, he flew to the United States with the CCTV team.
That's right, they plan to broadcast it live this time.
Since we have brought a whole team here, it is naturally impossible to just conduct a TV broadcast.
Accordingly, they also arranged some programs.
Don't say yes, look for some local Chinese fans to interview, interview Wang Hao's college teammates, etc.
That's right, CCTV plans to produce a program, Wang Hao's program.
It has to be said that this salary is quite high, especially since Wang Hao has not yet entered the national team, nor has he brought any honor to the national team.
Since we are doing a program about Wang Hao, we naturally have to interview Wang Hao, after all, he is the protagonist.
After hearing the news, Wang Hao immediately agreed without saying a word.
Although he has accepted many interviews and is already a little tired of it, he must agree to this.
Not only that, he also deliberately arranged for the interview to be held in his villa.
That's right, he plans to entertain him well and say more nice things to him when the show is on.
If it's an American show, of course it's not necessary.
However, this is a domestic program, and he also meets the vast number of compatriot fans.
The so-called returning home without being dressed in rich clothes is like walking at night in rich clothes. This is also a different kind of returning home in rich clothes, so naturally he has to perform well.
Well, he was simply overthinking it.
Decades later, CCTV programs are all serious, let alone live.
Perhaps they felt that the villa was not a good background, so they finally chose to conduct the interview in the basketball stadium.
Moreover, the interview questions have been discussed in advance, and even Wang Hao’s answers have been reviewed.
"Congratulations, Wang Hao, the SuperSonics successfully advanced to the Western Conference Finals."
"Thank you, Director Zhang. This is also due to the support of our domestic fans. I am very grateful to them."
"How do you feel about reaching the Western Conference Finals? Do you feel surprised?"
"It is naturally a happy thing to reach the Western Conference Finals, but it is not a surprise.
At the beginning of the season, when we set our goals, we had such expectations.
It can only be said that reaching the Western Conference semifinals is an initial achievement of our goal, and it is an affirmation of our efforts over the past year."
This is an interview with the domestic media, not the American media, so you must be more modest in your words.
"So is there a higher sight?"
"Of course, a championship, I think this is the dream of every NBA player."
"We are also very much looking forward to having the first Chinese to successfully win the NBA championship trophy.
What is your evaluation of the next opponent?"
"The Lakers? This is definitely the best team in the NBA right now, and they should even have a place in NBA history."
To be honest, Zhang Weiping was a little surprised to hear such high praise from Wang Hao.
He had communicated with Wang Hao a lot, and he knew Wang Hao fairly well.
Although Wang Hao has the usual Chinese humility, he is also very arrogant deep down.
Perhaps, this is the essence of every genius.
Therefore, to be evaluated like this by Wang Hao, it can indeed be seen that the current Lakers team is really powerful.
"Historical level, why is there such an evaluation?"
"Actually, it's very simple. It's because of the good combination of O'Neal and Kobe that they decided this team.
Needless to say, O'Neal is now regarded by the American media as the most dominant player.
You know, this is an evaluation that Chamberlain and even Jordan have never had.
Then there is Kobe, who has completely grown up this season and has become the top player in the NBA.
Moreover, the two of them are exactly the same inside and outside, so they are definitely the best partner on the basketball court."
"You have such a high opinion of the Lakers, so do you still have confidence in the next game?"
"Of course, the Lakers are very good, but we are not bad either. In fact, we have found the Lakers' weaknesses."
Zhang Weiping also wanted to ask what the Lakers' weaknesses are?
Hearing this, Wang Hao immediately looked at Zhang Weiping. Could it be that he has now transformed into the shape of Kobe?
Weiping Bryant, this is famous.
However, Wang Hao didn't say it. Although it wasn't a big secret, it would be pointless to say it.
It can be said that it is pretending to be mysterious, but as long as it works.
In fact, it is not a big deal. In fact, most media analyzes have mentioned it.
That's because the Lakers rely too much on the OK combination.
In this year's regular season, among the Lakers, besides Kobe and O'Neal, only Fisher scored in double figures.
It can be seen that if the Lakers want to win, the OK combination must play well, not to mention scoring 60 points together, at least not less than 50 points.
If the OK combination cannot score 50 points, no one can make up for the lack of scoring.
What if one of the OK combinations can be successfully restricted?
To be honest, I have a very good chance of winning.
After all, before Kobe grew up and O'Neal took the lead, the Lakers were only in the first or second rounds of the playoffs.
No matter how good O'Neal is, he can't defeat a team by himself.
So, to beat the Lakers is very simple, just freeze Kobe and you can win?
of course not!
It’s not that the method is wrong, it’s that it can be done!
Freezing Kobe is not about drinking water and eating. It is very simple, and it seems that anyone can do it.
But the question is, first there are the Jazz and then the Spurs, who can really freeze Kobe?
Even if the Sonics have Wang Hao and Gary Payton, they can't say they can definitely do it.
For a star at this level, it is actually difficult to lock down the opponent solely by relying on defense.
I'm just saying that there is a chance.
