Chapter 255 The first foul at the beginning
At the end of the second Western Conference Finals, the score between the two sides was 1:1.
The next two games will move to Los Angeles and return to the Lakers' home court.
But before that, they still have 4 days of rest.
There is no other way, we have to wait for the east side.
Now, the Eastern Conference semifinals have not played a game, and the Western Conference has ended two games, so naturally we have to wait.
Even if we don't wait now, after the Western Conference finals are over, the Eastern Conference will decide the final winner.
Fortunately, here in the Eastern Conference, the two semifinals lasted seven games, with little rest time.
Now it seems quite fair.
Within the SuperSonics, they are still conducting daily training and have not made many adjustments because of the loss.
It's not that there's no way, but that it's not necessary.
Although we lost in the last game, there was no problem with the logic and tactical execution.
It was purely due to the feel that the established tactics failed.
In addition to training, Wang Hao is also paying attention to the Eastern Conference finals. After all, there are two games in the Eastern Conference before heading to Los Angeles.
It has to be said that Iverson is really an outstanding individual. He played for two consecutive days and still maintained a very sufficient physical fitness.
Let's put it this way, when others are tired, he is not tired either.
In the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals, this guy actually took 35 crazy shots, tirelessly attacking the Bucks inside.
35 shots, this is already an exaggeration.
You know, this is the NBA, and it's the stage of the Eastern Conference finals. You can imagine how tight the defense is.
In this case, every shot requires a lot of physical energy.
Many people say that the reason why Kobe, Iverson and others can often score high points.
It's because they occupy a lot of shot power.
But the problem is, if it were someone else, even if you gave him unlimited fire rights, he wouldn't be able to take so many shots.
Not to mention looking for opportunities to take action, even physical fitness can't keep up.
The final result is naturally that the numbers team wins.
To be honest, strictly speaking, the strength between the Bucks and the Digital Team is almost the same.
However, the Bucks have a big flaw, that is, they are somewhat incapable of making moves inside.
Not to mention scoring, not even defensively.
This gives Iverson the opportunity to continuously attack the inside, and the effect is very good.
In this game, nearly half of Iverson's points came from the three-second zone, either by directly hitting a field goal or causing a foul.
Not just in this game, but in the entire series, his main idea will be to hit the basket.
It's just that Iverson succeeds and Iverson fails.
As a team built entirely around Iverson, the digital team's reliance on Iverson is extremely exaggerated.
If Iverson plays smoothly, the team has a good chance of winning. Once Iverson doesn't play well, it will be difficult.
In the second game, Iverson made 5 of 26 shots, an exaggerated performance of less than 20%.
What's even worse is that today, the players on the other digital teams also failed to perform beyond their normal performance, and in the end they could only lose.
Of course, once Iverson doesn't perform well, it would be too much to ask other people on the digital team to perform.
After all, you usually don’t have many opportunities, but if you suddenly want to let others score, wouldn’t it be difficult for them to do so?
Similar to the Western Conference, the two teams also tied at 1:1.
At this time, the Sonics had arrived in Los Angeles a day early to adapt to the Staples Center arena.
Don't underestimate the problem of adapting to the arena.
Many years ago, when NBA regulations were not so strict, there were many teams that played tricks at home.
Like adjusting the height of the basket, or creating traps on the floor...
As for causing trouble when adapting to the arena, or interfering with the visiting team's rest, that is even more common.
It can be said that there is nothing they can't do except what you can't imagine.
Of course, as the NBA's management has become more standardized and the requirements have become stricter over the years, such things have become less common.
What's more, today's media is all-pervasive, and any slightest disturbance can give you big news.
Moreover, teams are paying more and more attention to their image.
May 25, Los Angeles, Staples Center.
This time, Wang Hao stayed in the hotel booked by the team and did not go out for fun.
Because he hasn't contacted Jessica for a while. To be precise, it should be that Jessica hasn't contacted him.
After all, with his current image and status, is it possible that he still needs to take the initiative to contact others?
As for the reason, I guess it’s because of some success in my career.
Wang Hao naturally didn't care about this. After all, it was just for fun. Could it be that he still wanted to take it seriously?
Where is this? The entertainment industry!
Comparing the entertainment industry to a garbage bag is not an exaggeration at all. After all, it is too dirty.
What's more, this is the Hollywood entertainment industry.
It doesn't matter if you play for a while, if you take it seriously, then you are a real fool.
Not long ago, during a business event, a young model hooked up with him, her name was Gisele Bundchen.
Regarding Hollywood stars, Wang Haodu had only heard of some of the more famous ones. As for models, he didn't know much about them.
But she's pretty, and the conversation was pretty good.
If it hadn't been for being so busy in the playoffs during this period, Wang Hao would have taken the initiative and something would have happened.
Okay, let's get down to business, the game is important.
It was around 7 o'clock in the afternoon, Los Angeles time, and the Staples Center was already packed with people.
Los Angeles is originally one of the largest ball markets in the NBA. Otherwise, it would not be able to support the Lakers.
In addition, the current strength of the Lakers is at its peak, and the team even has superstars like O'Neal and Kobe Bryant.
It can be said that the Lakers' home games are really packed.
In the playoffs, it's even more true.
Not only ordinary fans, but also celebrities and even government officials will appear.
Of course, this is mainly related to the special situation in the United States.
Naturally, Wang Hao is not too unfamiliar with these Hollywood stars. After all, he spends his time watching movies and TV and often sees them.
But, that’s it!
Isn't it possible that the arrival of a few big Hollywood stars at the Staples Center will improve the Lakers' winning rate?
This is impossible.
At this time, the SuperSonics and Lakers had finished their final shooting training, and the referee had asked both sides to return to the bench.
At this time, it is estimated that the technical desk and the referee are having final communication and exchanges.
The main thing is the technical station. They need to determine the situation of the TV broadcast. This is the most important thing.
"Beep!"
After making sure everything was ready, the referee finally blew the whistle to signal that the game was about to begin.
The two sides came to the court, and this time, it was Gary Payton who took the initiative to face Kobe.
Let Gary grind down Kobe first, and then Wang Hao will deal with Kobe in the second half.
To be honest, Kobe did feel unnatural for a moment when he saw Gary Payton approaching him.
There is no way, as the top perimeter defender in the NBA today, Kobe still feels the pressure.
This is clearly reflected in the data.
In the game against the Spurs, Kobe averaged 33.3 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists per game, and his performance was simply explosive.
Not to mention this, what is even more impressive is his efficiency. He averaged 51.4% shooting per game and scored 33.3 points in only 26.3 shots.
