Chapter 250 Western Conference Finals 2

251, Western Conference Finals 2

Since we have to fight quickly, we naturally have to do it in the fastest way.

No matter how fast a person runs, he cannot run faster than a basketball, so this is the fastest defense.

The moment Wang Hao got the ball, Kobe was already pressing forward, but Wang Hao had already passed the ball.

It wasn't until they looked in the direction of Wang Hao's pass that everyone suddenly saw a figure.

The figure was tall and mighty, and more importantly, the speed was not slow at all.

Yes, it is Patrick Ewing, who is 213 centimeters tall, weighs over 120 kilograms, and is nearly 39 years old.

Just like this, a person actually ran to the front.

Wang Hao's pass was just right. The moment Ewing entered the three-second zone, the basketball was in his hands.

Without any hesitation, he started directly after getting the ball, and then slammed his hands on the basket.

2:0

"boom!"

At the same time, there was a roar of cheers, and the atmosphere of SuperSonics fans was completely ignited.

"Roar!"

Gorilla Ewing even made his signature move, beating his chest and roaring to the sky, worthy of being a gorilla.

Everyone was dumbfounded, especially O'Neal, who was dumbfounded that this man could run so fast.

Just when everyone was still shocked, Ewing ran back immediately, as if he was chasing after him.

After returning to his own basket, Ewing suddenly turned around and shocked the entire audience with a look of determination.

While everyone is paying attention to O'Neal, Kobe, Gary Payton and Wang Hao, Ewing seems to have been forgotten.

However, Ewing did not forget himself.

He still remembers that from the moment he entered the NBA, what he longed for most was a championship.

He had dreamed of that trophy countless times in the middle of the night, but it was always just in a dream.

After more than ten years of career, he never expected that at the end of his career, he would be closest to the championship.

As for that time in 1998, although the Knicks reached the Finals, it actually had little to do with Ewing.

Because as early as in the Eastern Conference Finals, Ewing was injured after playing two games.

This time was different, he felt very good.

I have to say, it's a bit frustrating.

But no matter what, this is the closest he's ever been to a championship, and he definitely doesn't want to give up.

Therefore, the head coach's tactics required playing fast, so he tried to increase the speed as much as possible.

As for physical issues, he doesn't have to worry at all.

As the Sonics need to speed up, his playing time is bound to not be too much.

What he needs to do is to consume O'Neal's physical energy as much as possible in the limited playing time.

No, when the Lakers dribbled over, Ewing was already confronting O'Neal immediately.

Even if O'Neal wanted to get inside, he couldn't easily let him in.

As for wanting the position, you have to fight hard.

Even from outside the three-point line, Wang Hao could hear the sound of the two men fighting hand-to-hand.

To say that it goes down to the flesh is not an exaggeration.

When Fisher dribbled the ball past half court, it was not Gary Payton who stepped forward to press Fisher, but Wang Hao.

As for Gary Payton, he naturally stood in front of Kobe.

As for why he did this, there is naturally a reason. Wang Hao needs to contribute more on the defensive end.

When Gary Payton is guarding Fisher alone, Wang Hao needs to sweep up from the outside.

That is to say, we need to help defend Kobe on the outside and O'Neal on the inside at all times.

To be honest, Wang Hao was somewhat excited about entering the Western Conference Finals.

After all, this is the floor of the Western Conference Finals that Brother 58 has struggled with all his life and finally touched.

Now that he's in the Western Conference Finals, he naturally wants to win.

In fact, everyone in the Sonics wants to win, especially Paul Westphal as head coach.

During the five days, in addition to daily training content, he also studied the Lakers as much as possible.

And, a package plan for the Lakers was formulated.

Letting Wang Hao and Gary Payton swap defenders is the first step in this package.

It's not that Wang Hao can't guard Kobe. In fact, he can guard him, and he has great advantages in height and confrontation.

If it were Gary Payton, Kobe would have been able to hit the ball high.

It's just that although today's Kobe Bryant is said to have comprehensive skills, he still has more breakthrough technologies.

If you really want to talk about playing behind the back, he can't do it now.

In this way, Gary Payton is indeed more suitable to defend Kobe. After all, Wang Hao is a bit slower.

Of course, there is a more important reason why Paul Westphal arranged it this way, and that is to give full play to Wang Hao's defensive ability.

Wang Hao's reading of the game and judgment of defense are among the best in the NBA.

From the games of these two seasons, the head coach has completely discovered this.

Choosing the right time to double-team Kobe will have a greater chance of restricting Kobe.

Not only Kobe, but Wang Hao can also help defend the inside.

Not only that, besides Wang Hao, there is also PJ Brown.

Wang Hao and PJ Brown form a sweeping front, one inside and one outside, which can assist in defense at any time.

As expected, Fisher was startled when he saw Wang Hao suddenly pressing forward.

Fisher didn't dare to be careless and quickly turned his back.

As a player who is not particularly fast but has weight, his physical reasons are very good.

Just when Fisher was about to use his body to push forward as usual, suddenly... he couldn't push anymore.

Not only that, Wang Hao's arm stretched out from behind him and knocked the ball away with a slap.

This kid scared Fisher.

After all, this season, he just replaced Ron Harper as the Lakers' starting point guard.

Moreover, a very important reason is not because of his ability, but because of Ron Hubble's age.

Ron Harper is already 37 years old, and neither his body nor his strength support him continuing to start.

The injury in the middle of the season was caused by his age, and it was only because of this start that Fisher succeeded.

If a mistake is made in a crucial game like this, Fisher can imagine how disappointed the head coach will be.

Not to mention losing the starting position, but you will definitely lose a lot of impression points.

As for the anger of Los Angeles fans, it can even drown him.

Fortunately, the direction of the basketball's flight is not very good, and there are no Supersonic players in this position.

Kobe reacted quickly enough and picked up the ball immediately.

However, Kobe, who picked up the ball, did not immediately attack. Instead, he glanced at Fisher with sharp eyes.

Speaking of Kobe, there is one more thing I have to say.

Just this year, one day after the regular season ended, Kobe completed a major event in his life. He got married.

Of course, this is not what Wang Hao wants to say.

But when Kobe held his wedding, he was not invited.

Not that Wang Hao really wanted to do it, but it seemed interesting to witness the Black Mamba getting married.

More importantly, Wang Hao felt that the two of them were quite familiar.

As a result, this guy didn't invite Wang Hao at all.

It has to be said that there is no one with such emotional intelligence. Even if Wang Hao is his teammate, he will probably have to break up.
