It may be because of dislike of the current rules, or because the star you like has retired. It may be because the older you are, the less patient you are, the more you are, the more you are, the more you are, the more you are, the more you pay attention to basketball every day... But there are still some specific games to watch every year, such as the finals.

At least, as an old fan, you have to know who the champion is this year and what the winning process is.

As for the winning process, you can understand it later...

There is also a season's preview, predictions, etc. I will definitely pay attention to it.

On June 6, 2004, the Supersonics made it to the finals for four consecutive years shocked the basketball world and the sports circle, these old fans were shocked when they saw the news!

Just like the news in 1995 said that the Rockets entered the second round, reached the Western Conference Finals, and reached the finals... It was not the same, it was even more exaggerated!

The Rockets had too many injuries in the regular season and had such poor record. There were also transactions about gliders in the middle of the season, and it took a certain amount of time to run in. Moreover, the Rockets "just" defended the champion... and the Supersonics are the defending champions of the Dynasty!

During the regular season, many people discussed their "how to defend their title", and no one on the Supersonics discussed their championship.

When it comes to the Supersonics, they will be mentioned as the first dynasty in the new century and the first invincible team in the 21st century, but no one has mentioned their defending title this season.

At this time, Zhang Hao averaged 41.6 points per game to the finals, which caused a sensation in the entire sports world!

...

The Supersonics reached the finals 4-2. The next day, in the far East, in Philadelphia, O'Neal went crazy and 41 points, 22 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 blocks in a single game, smashing the inside line composed of Raheem and Duncan, leading the Heat to defeat the 76ers 97-91 and advance to the finals 4-2!

Duncan hid for 6 years and refused to admit that he was the center. Who would have thought that O'Neal actually came to the East?

Last season, the 76ers created the current Snow, Iverson, Van Horn, Raheem, and Duncan, and O'Neal was still competing for the championship with the Lakers. Who would have thought that the logo man would actually give up the championship at this stage so decisively and rebuild on the spot?

This is just like in 1995 when the Lakers had formed the core combination of Van Exel, Eddie Jones, Divac and Campbell, and suddenly replaced Eddie Jones and Divac with Zhang Hao. No one expected it.

Duncan averaged 22.7 points, 11.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.7 steals and 2.7 blocks in the entire series, which was a perfect performance as a super center.

But O'Neal, the opponent averaged 35.3 points, 16 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 3.3 blocks per game!

Anyone who gives Duncan a qualified meat shield, such as Rasu Nestrovich, the old Campbell, or the Bulls' Gerani McCoy, Duncan can put a big limit on O'Neal.

But no one can withstand the 76ers!

But the 76ers used Campbell to trade Mutombo, but they didn't have the chance to trade back. The most important thing was that they had no space. They couldn't even find a qualified meat shield during the offseason.

The center of the meat shield is not enough to be heavy.

Duncan's stable super center performance met the strongest dominant center in history, and Iverson and Raheem suffered from C bleeding in the first two games, especially after completing a 1-3 major reversal in the series with the Pistons, their condition fluctuated significantly, and they also encountered the defense of Kidd and Eddie Jones...

With the help of Duncan and Snow, Van Horn averaged 16 points per game, and Wade couldn't defend it.

But the 76ers were not defended against Wade, O'Neal, and Eddie Jones.

Mainly O'Neal.

O'Neal, who has been playing for more than ten years and has rich experience, has long seen that Pat Riley is not ready... He didn't expect that Malone would come to hug him. In 1997 and 1998, Malone is still very shameful in this regard.

But there was no way. The group hugged the B plan to mess up the matter because of lust. Malone ran to hug Zhang Hao's thigh, but was rejected. Finally, he saw O'Neal being traded to the Heat, Kidd joined... Malone didn't care about face issues and joined directly.

O'Neal didn't expect Yao Ming to help him find a way to deal with the Pacers. In the Eastern Conference Finals, Wade and Eddie Jones performed so well on the offensive end, and the two averaged 35 points per game...

O'Neal himself, seeing Zhang Hao's continuous rampage in the west, felt that the thing he was looking forward to might not have to wait for the future... He also fought desperately!

In the first year of changing teams, O'Neal led the team to the finals!

The Kings upgraded Weber to Garnett and introduced Payton, which was very popular.

The 76ers formed the Big Four last season, and attracted a bunch of players who were holding their thighs during the offseason, with a deep lineup.

The Bulls made a decisive attack, and the contract was given out by a billion yuan, and they took the Supersonics to the most powerful assisted defense expert in NBA history, Wallace, letting Malone go, and still attracted many high-quality role players to join, and updated their already deep lineup, which was extremely dazzling.

The Pistons welcome their king, and the whirlwind swept the world.

The Pacers' coach changes are like changing teams. As the team that adapts to the new rules the fastest, the team's offense and defense are almost invincible.

Finally, people saw Zhang Hao and O'Neal meet in the finals. Zhang Hao's epic four-game final journey, and O'Neal led the third team to the finals as the core center.

Two teams that were predicted to play the second round at the end of the regular season met in the finals!

...

On June 9, 2004, the Supersonics came to Miami. The day after tomorrow, on June 11, the Supersonics will challenge the Heat away and play in the finals.

In the evening, several players of the Supersonics made a dinner with several players of the Heat.

The atmosphere is not harmonious, it's just a meal.

Neither team expected to fight against each other in the finals, which made the players of both teams believe what "fate" is.

Zhang Hao himself has the ambition to win four consecutive championships, but he does not have any major expectations. As long as it is not the first round, it doesn’t matter. Even if he is in the "King of the Western Finals" mode, he still wants to win if he wins, and lose if he loses.

The result was over! G1 decisively used the "King of the Western Conference Finals" in the last quarter to get 15 points in a single quarter, and he could only use one bonus once, winning G1, otherwise he might be 0-3 behind...

Winning G1 gave the Supersonics room to counterattack in the back.

In the end, Zhang Hao was naturally very excited.

But I didn't expect that Dafa is also very lucky.

Zhang Hao really thinks that the Heat are the weakest among the top six in the Eastern Conference, and they may be eliminated directly when playing against the Cavaliers.

As a result, after winning the Cavaliers, Carlisle's correct answer was copied in the second round.

The point is that the 76ers reversed the Pistons, and the Pistons were eliminated in the second round!

O'Neilke Pistons are very good, but one position is not enough. The 76ers' victory over the Pistons is not Duncan, but the outside group!

Duncan can suppress the rhythm and prevent the rhythm from being completely out of control, but the 76ers can reverse because of their strong outside lineup and enough lineup depth, and they are not afraid of running with the Pistons. After slowing down, Duncan's positional stability can still be achieved.

If the Heat want to play against the Pistons, it will be very good if the five-strong body is enough, but when it comes to the rotation stage, the Heat are likely to be hit.

As a result, the Eastern Conference Final Heat encountered the 76ers team in slow-paced positions to fight offense and defense, and the Pistons also consumed Iverson and Rahim very much...

O'Neal's side, because the teams he has been with have reached the finals, he has been hyped up in the past two days and is proud.

Zhang Hao's side... has reached the finals, so of course he has to strive for the championship!

Four consecutive championships!

But, he really didn't expect to meet the Heat, and he thought the 76ers could turn the tables again.

After the Heat won the Battle of Tianwangshan, many people felt that the 76ers could still tie the big score when they returned to their home court and finally played a decisive battle. They believed that the 76ers had a high probability of turning the tables.

But the Heat won 4-2 cleanly...

Of course, now, the Heat, who defeated the Cavaliers, Pacers, and 76ers, all the way, have received extremely high praise for O'Neal's super-god playoff performance.

Zhang Hao will feel a headache when the Pistons, Pacers, Bulls, 76ers, and Cavaliers.

But the Heat... it's not like playing against the Heat, they're easy to play against the Supersonics.

Instead, the Heat are in the semi-finals of the Eastern Conference, which is relatively difficult for the Supersonics to play.

Zhang Hao looked at the thrilling fat man, and felt that this was a good marriage given by God...

...

...

Two teams that are not considered favorites to win the championship have reached the finals. The attention of this year's finals has not declined, but has soared!

There is no other finals matchup combination, and the attention is more than that of the Supersonics playing against the Heat! At least for now, even if the Lakers and Celtics playing against the Heat, they are not as good as the Supersonics playing against the Heat.

After the Supersonics and the Heat advanced to the finals, the grudges between Zhang Hao and O'Neal, the entanglement between the two and the Lakers... became popular again!

After the Lakers became popular, the two leading stars left the team, and they quickly led the new team to the finals.

Zhang Hao, O'Neal, the Lakers' double tower quality in the late 1990s, and the evaluation now has received no double team in NBA history that is stronger than this double tower.

The Lakers are now very embarrassed and the Supersonics won the championship. The Lakers have never done it. The Heat won the championship. O'Neal never beat Zhang Hao when he stayed with the Lakers. He agreed after changing teams! And it also sniped the birth of the second four consecutive championships in NBA history!

American basketball, Lakers, and Celtics, two giants run through the history of American basketball, and both teams play an important role in the entire North American sports history.

And as time goes by, the identities of the two teams seem to be increasingly unbreakable, and no other team can become a new genius.

But now, everything may change!

The influence of basketball is increasing day by day. At this time, sports fans from all over the world have focused on the upcoming NBA Finals.

As long as the Supersonics wins one away game at the beginning of two games, there is a chance that they will be able to return to home and leave O'Brien's Cup directly.

Even the Supersonics continue to win the second game is not without the possibility!

It's not without a home court advantage to sweep your opponent.

And the one swept was on the Heat.

After this statement came out, Dapang was very angry...

On June 13, the Heat ushered in the second finals against the Supersonics at home.

O'Neal played for 40 minutes, made 16 of 26 shots, and 8 of 11 shots were shots!

The Supersonics didn't dare to cut sharks, and Zhang Hao even went to commit fouls, but the probability of giving a whistle in the playoffs was small and it was easy to waste opportunities. After trying twice, he didn't continue to try.

Under O'Neal's crazy performance of 40 points, 16 rebounds, 3 assists and 5 blocks in a single game, the Heat defeated the Supersonics 111-98 and defended their second home court!

For the Supersonics, Zhang Hao scored 25 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists, Kassel scored 21 points, Artest scored 13 points, Odom scored 12 points, Marquis Daniels scored 12 points... 5 players scored in double digits, which was OK.

But O'Neal's performance was too irritable, with Eddie Jones' 22 points, Malone's 12 points and 11 rebounds, Wade's 8 points, Kidd's 7 points, 11 rebounds and 14 assists...
To be continued...
