Chapter 396 Accident
The Spurs are already a strong NBA team, and their victory is not too surprising.
It's home again, and when the state is right, isn't it normal to win?
Needless to say, Duncan's performance is still outstanding.
The data of 26 points and 13 rebounds, to be honest, is simply a complete abuse of the Sonics inside.
In addition, Parker also scored 21 points and 7 assists, while Ginobili scored 18 points and 4 rebounds.
See if you don't see it, GDP has achieved initial results.
If it weren't for the fact that Ginobili and Parker are still a little young, their performance is still not very stable.
Today's Spurs are definitely the top team in the NBA.
Of course, even if Ginobili and Parker are close, with Duncan and Popovich, the Spurs are still a strong team.
Not to mention, just one game, it can't be seen that Ginobili and Parker can really carry the flag.
In addition, Wu Sheng Stephen Jackson also scored 16 points.
Faced with such a Spurs team, all members of the Spurs team have exploded at a super level, and the Sonics have nothing to do.
Wang Hao's performance is not as good as the previous two games, but he is still the most reliable core of the Supersonics.
27 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, still the highest score in the game, but unfortunately, the efficiency is a bit low.
There's no way, the rest of the Supersonics are in too bad a state, and they can't score after receiving consecutive passes from Wang Hao.
After playing, he was also very straightforward, no longer passing the ball, but coming by himself.
Without the involvement of his teammates, he could only do it by himself, and inevitably fell into singles.
And it's still facing double-team singles.
Every time he makes a shot, he faces at least two people. In this case, the hit rate will naturally not be too high.
Early the next morning, the training session started normally, and Paul Westphal began to drill everyone.
He has already prepared for the tactical arrangement of the next game.
He still chose a conventional defensive system, double-teaming Duncan, then quickly rotating, and switching defenses infinitely.
Because of the existence of Wang Hao and Gary Payton, there are two people who check and fill in the gaps, and the Supersonics have been doing very well.
This choice may be conservative, but it is the most correct.
After all, the Sonics are still in the leading position, and it should be the Spurs who need to worry.
Compared with the fierce stalemate in the Western Conference Finals, the Western Conference Finals highlighted a relaxed and freehand style.
The Nets won two consecutive victories in the away game, directly pushing the Pistons to the edge of the cliff.
Back at home, the more morale of the Nets, it is impossible to give the Pistons another chance.
It can be said that if the Pistons want to win, it is useless to count on themselves, and they have to count on their opponents.
If the Nets don't make mistakes, the Pistons will have no chance.
Maybe, the Nets can continue to go smoothly and directly complete the second consecutive round of sweeps.
Perhaps the Nets want to say that the opponents in the finals are not even as good as the first round of the playoffs.
As for the reason, it can only be said that the Pistons were really overwhelmed by the Nets.
It is also a defensive-oriented team, and the advantages of the Pistons cannot be reflected at all.
What are the Pistons' strengths?
The advantage of the Pistons is defense, and then use their defense to pull the opponent's offense to the same level as them.
Then, they skillfully relied on their scoring ability to score points bit by bit.
But what I never expected is that the Nets are also good at this.
Especially on the crucial point guard, the Pistons were restrained to death by the Nets.
Billups is actually pretty good, but let the guy standing in front of him be called Jason Kidd.
On May 5, the NBA playoffs continued.
The Spurs sit on the road and ushered in the challenge of the Supersonics. This is also the Spurs' second home game.
For the Spurs, this is a game that cannot be missed.
The Supersonic's loss is nothing more than returning to a 2:2 situation, and the two sides are still on the same starting line.
But once the Spurs lose, it will be 3:1.
In the history of the NBA, it is absolutely difficult to complete a major comeback under such a situation.
"Di!"
With the whistle of the referee, the game officially began.
As soon as the game started, everyone could see that the Supersonics' defense had been challenged.
The original man-to-man mark is gone, and it has been directly replaced by zone defense, which is very targeted.
To put it bluntly, the focus is on marking Duncan.
Sure enough, as long as Duncan gets the ball, the SuperSonics will be double-teamed immediately.
In this case, Duncan can only pass the ball.
It's just that, even if he can give the ball to teammates on the outside, the Sonics can rotate quickly.
This depends on the speed of the Spurs' rotation and the speed of the Supersonic's defense.
It's just that Duncan is Duncan after all, he is not like O'Neal, who can only stay inside and ask for the ball.
Duncan in the middle distance is still very threatening.
Not only that, Duncan can also constantly help his teammates cover, as a point of distribution for transferring the ball.
Compared with the previous game, it is definitely a complete change.
I don't know if Duncan regretted it?
Compared with the previous games, Duncan has unlimited firing rights and can play singles anytime, anywhere.
However, Duncan didn't have his first attack until almost 5 minutes into the game.
The shot also bounced out of the frame.
It's just that, in this mode, although Duncan is greatly restricted from scoring, he can do more things.
Stephen Jackson and Tony Parker both had assists from Duncan.
At the end of the first quarter, at 26:24, the Sonics led by 2 points.
In the second quarter of the game, the situation between the two sides is still inseparable, 49:48, the Sonics lead by 1 point.
Everyone pushed Bao to the third quarter.
If the third quarter can't solve the opponent and completely open the score, then it can only be said that the final battle.
"decisive battle?"
Thinking of this, Popovich couldn't help frowning a little, which is not a good thing for the Spurs.
In other words, for all teams with inside cores, they don't want to play the final battle.
As for reasoning, it is naturally very simple.
When the inside players deal with the key ball at the last moment, they are actually very passive.
It's even one thing to be able to catch the ball.
"I want everyone to hear clearly, in the third quarter, I want to clear the game.
Dragging it to the fourth quarter is not what I want to see, and it is very stupid to drag it to the last moment.
Tim, I hope you can run more, I know, the Sonics defense is very tight.
It's just that, as the core of the team, you must stand up and solve problems.
Also, David, what about your defense?I don't want to see you finish the game with fouls left.
And Bruce, to be honest, I am very disappointed in you. Since this round of the series, you have not made Wang feel pressure at all.
I hope you can limit him in the third quarter and do everything possible to limit Wang's scoring. "
The second half of the game begins.
As soon as he came to the field, Wang Hao felt a little different, as if his body was a little cold.
Looking back, he saw a bald-headed man looking at him with an idiotic gaze.
That's right, Bruce Bowen.
Naturally, Wang Hao didn't know how terrifying a Bruce Bowen who had just been beaten up was.
Sure enough, PJ Brown jumped the ball successfully, and the Sonics got their first chance to attack in the second half.
Wang Hao didn't delay, and asked for the ball directly from the low position.
Whether it's height or weight, Wang Hao has an advantage when facing Bruce Bowen.
This kind of opportunity must be seized.
However, as soon as Wang Hao got the ball, Bruce Bowen immediately pushed up and pushed his crotch with his knee.
Not only that, seeing that he failed to push Wang Hao away, he immediately put his foot on Wang Hao's knee.
Not knee to knee, but the side of the knee.
These places are the places most likely to be injured. Once injured, it may endanger their careers.
It's just that Wang Hao didn't dare to procrastinate as the time for attacking was running out. The most important thing was to attack first.
Bruce Bowen was so close, he naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity and turned around to break through.
However, just as he turned around and broke through, a leg suddenly stretched between his legs.
Wang Hao was tripped directly, not only that, Bruce Bowen's knee was also on Wang Hao's thigh.
The referee's whistle sounded immediately. It was impossible not to blow such an obvious foul.
"Hold the grass!"
Wang Hao fell to the ground, looking at Bao Wen who was complaining to the referee, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he reacted.
This guy is going to make trouble on purpose again!
If it was someone else, it might have been an accident, or in other words, carelessness.
But if it's Bruce Bowen, it goes without saying.
Wang Hao held back his anger, and didn't jump up and kick the bastard directly, but he is not a character who suffers.
The game continued, and Wang Hao still wanted the ball inside.
This time, Bruce Bowen entangled him even harder, as if he could easily prevent Wang Hao from taking the ball.
Wang Hao didn't talk nonsense, and indicated that PJ Brown, who was serving from the baseline, didn't need to give him the ball.
PJ Brown didn't delay, and directly passed the ball to Gary Payton outside the three-point line.
For a moment, all eyes were on basketball, on Gary Payton.
At this moment, Wang Hao suddenly pushed Bruce Bowen, and immediately circled to the outside to catch the ball.
At first glance, it was just an ordinary confrontation.
In fact, Wang Hao blocked the referee sideways, and then elbowed him hard.
He doesn't intend to be disadvantaged if he comes and does not reciprocate.
Caught off guard, Bruce Bowen snorted, only to see that Wang Hao had already run to the outside line.
Gary Payton naturally also saw Wang Hao who ran out of the opportunity, and passed the ball immediately without delay.
Wang Hao quickly caught the ball and shot directly.
In such a daze, Bruce Bowen was late, and could only watch Wang Hao finish his shot.
"Shh!"
Without any surprises, the three-pointer fell steadily into the basket.
52:48
"Oh no, it was a foul."
"Mr. Referee, did you see that? He swung his elbow just now."
……
While talking, Bruce Bowen also made moves, but unfortunately, the referee didn't care at all.
"Bruce, I didn't see it, but I'm pretty sure there was no foul just now.
You should go back to the game now. "
Seeing Bruce Bowen coming to the front court with aggrieved face, Wang Hao smiled and said.
"Bruce, I know what you want.
But it's okay, just let the horse come over, I won't feel scared, and I won't suffer. "
In the west, the Sonics have to play at least three games with the Spurs every year, and there are absolutely many opportunities to play against each other.
Between Wang Hao and Bruce Bowen, there is no shortage of matchups.
This situation happened more than once.
Bruce Bowen gritted his teeth, but didn't speak, but he couldn't help but think of the previous game.
When playing against other stars, he took advantage of it.
His foul moves are indeed dangerous, but they are all very routine moves.
He did act subconsciously, but it was not a malicious foul.
Others either suffocated themselves to suffer, or did it explosively, and then were expelled.
No matter what it is, it is the opponent who suffers.
But Bruce Bowen knew very well that the guy in front of him was different. This guy's movements were wild.
Either the referee didn't pay attention, or it was an inadvertent action.
During the confrontation with Wang Hao, Bruce Bowen even felt that he had learned a lot.
What's more terrible is that this is also a guy who doesn't suffer.
Even if he suffered a loss once, in the next round, this guy will definitely come back with revenge.
Thinking of the past, Bruce Bowen hesitated, but after a while, he became firm again.
If it is really a one-for-one exchange, then the Spurs will not suffer.
Next, there will be all kinds of competition between Bruce Bowen and Wang Hao. When the two compete for the position, it is like a battle.
Not just the battle on the surface, but also the battle in the dark.
Bruce Bowen looked for an opportunity to give Wang Hao a tiptoe, and Wang Hao immediately looked for an opportunity to step on Bowen's leg.
As for all kinds of elbows, there is no shortage of them.
The two are entangled together, and the scores of the two teams are also entangled. It seems that no one can do anything to the other.
That's definitely not a bad thing for the Sonics.
They are still very confident in handling the key ball.
"what!"
However, at this moment, a scream sounded, and the accident happened like this.
Under the basket, PJ Brown was lying on the ground, holding his legs and screaming, looking very painful.
"what happened?"
"PJ, how are you feeling?"
……
Wang Hao also ran over quickly. He was too busy asking for a seat with Bruce Bowen just now, so he didn't pay attention at all.
The supersonic team doctor hurried to the captain, lay down on the ground and asked PJ Brown's situation carefully.
What's going on, the team doctor can't judge for a while, but it's probably impossible to play.
At the same time, replays also appeared on the big screen.
It was PJ Brown who stepped on David Robinson's foot when he landed after grabbing the rebound.
"Damn it, you're really playing dirty."
The Spurs are the offensive team, and it seems reasonable for David Robinson to compete for offensive rebounds when the shot is missed.
But the problem is, the lower corner is unreasonable!
Sure enough, Wang Hao didn't speak, and Paul Westphal had already stood up from the bench and won the appeal to the referee.
"It's a flagrant foul, flagrant foul!"
It's a pity that the referee's penalty was a foul, an ordinary foul.
Not to mention malicious fouls, even technical fouls.
This is today's NBA, the pursuit of physical confrontation, especially in the playoffs.
