8 hours before the start of the Western Conference Finals, Durant went to the Oakland Stadium early for shooting training.

Although he was thinking about the finals when communicating with Sun Hao, he also knew that before that, he had to cross the Clippers level.

Last year, on the stage of the Western Conference Finals, Sun Hao helped him grow and assisted him in his first final goal in the playoffs.

But in the end, the Clippers eliminated the Warriors in the G6 field.

Although the media's comments on the Warriors, including him, felt that they had done a good job as a young team.

After all, last season was strictly Kobe's season, and they lost to the final championship.

But losing means losing. Durant is here. Although he will not say "we are the number one losers", his first goal is definitely to win back.

Of course, motivation is also pressure. Come to train early to prepare for the competition and release the pressure in advance.

After he practiced for a while, Sun Hao also came.

When the two saw each other, they were stunned for a moment, and then they laughed at each other.

Sun Hao didn't expect Durant to come earlier than him, while Durant didn't expect Sun Hao to come early.

And laughing together is because this behavior shows that they feel pressure from the evening game.

"Will we win?"

After the training was almost done, the two of them sat on the sidelines to rest. Durant looked at Sun Hao seriously and asked.

This question is very real.

After all, they are facing the defending champion. Now the strongest opponent in the league is, he wants to win, but he is definitely useless to say that he is sure to win.

But even in front of Sun Hao, he would ask so bluntly.

"Do what you can do the best, and leave the rest to me."

Sun Hao said in a calm tone.

He didn't talk much, but after listening to it, Durant felt his confidence soared.

Yes, with Sun Hao here, he shouldn't have such suspicion!

Last year, he didn’t give Sun Hao enough help, but this year, they will definitely win!

More than an hour before the game began, the fans of the Oracle Arena were already sitting.

From the eyes of the fans, you can see something called expectation, and of course there is also a hint of nervousness.

The fans' mood is similar to Durant's before. They expect the Warriors to complete revenge this year, but at the same time they are a little worried that the Warriors will not be able to beat it.

Half an hour before the start of the game, the stadium was full, and fans wore yellow T-shirts distributed to the seats in the stadium.

There was a yellow ocean on site.

The players on both sides also entered the venue one after another at this time.

Sun Hao completed his daily three-pointer before entering the field.

Perhaps because he came to the venue for training in advance, his feel looks very good and he will hit it with one blow.

Sun Hao's outstanding touch also attracted cheers from the Warriors fans on the scene.

One interesting thing is that since Sun Hao started shooting three-pointers in the channel, some fans have counted the relationship between the three-pointers in the channel and the Warriors' victory or defeat.

Fans found that as long as Sun Hao wins with one blow, the probability of winning is as high as more than 90%.

Although this does not mean that the Warriors will definitely win tonight, it is undoubtedly a very positive signal.

The tension in the eyes of many fans dissipated.

Sun Hao is the best magic needle for stabilizing the sea!

After Sun Hao scored three points, he ran into the court, which was the first time he looked at the Clippers.

Those familiar figures were really a sense of familiarity for him, "past and present".

Especially, this is his second time playing against this team.

One question that many people will ask is, in which year is the strongest Lakers composed of Lakers and Gasol in history?

Most of the fans who have watched the ball in those years will be in the 2009-10 seasons.

The Lakers team reached the Finals three times in a row since 2008.

In the first year, he lost to the three Celtics, and in the second year, he easily defeated the Magic to win the championship. In the third year, he fought with the Celtics in seven games in the 2009-10 season, and finally won the game in the final moments.

Among them, there are two consecutive championships, the biggest difference is that the starting small forward has changed from Ariza to Artest.

That is, the finals of that year were regarded by many fans as one of the most exciting finals in NBA history.

So now, the Warriors are facing a plus version of such a team.

It's very difficult.

But it was precisely because of the difficulty that Sun Hao felt inexplicably excited.

At this stage, just like the famous masters in martial arts novels, only powerful opponents will give him the desire to draw his sword.

The two teams did not communicate before the game, and Kobe did not come up to say hello to Sun Hao.

It is obvious that both teams attach great importance to this round of series.

Before the competition began, the tense atmosphere before the game was exaggerated.

This is a game that is destined to be full of Mars.

Just when fans seemed to be able to smell the smoke, a close-up shot was given to the audience.

James, Wade and Anthony came to the sidelines to watch the ball.

All three have ended their respective playoffs.

However, because they had a lot of rumors before, this scene is bound to make people think a lot.

Of course, this is just a small episode. After both sides warm up, the opening ceremony will be entered, and the starting lineup of the two teams will be released.

Clippers: Sun Yue, Kobe, Artest, Gasol, Bynum.

Warriors: Sun Hao, McGrady, Durant, Ibaka, Oden.

On the Clippers, Sun Yue has already squeezed the elderly old fish to the bench with his outstanding defense and stable three-pointers.

On the Warriors, Old Nelson intends to slow down and also starts McGrady, who performed well in the previous series.

This tit-for-tat arrangement of troops added a little more to the already tense atmosphere.

Amid the cheers of fans, the starters of the two teams appeared one after another.

Bynum and Oden jump ball in the middle circle.

Last year's playoffs, Bynum killed Landry's three front teeth with one elbow. Not to mention fans, the Warriors players still remember it very well.

Oden is also trying hard.

As soon as the referee whistle sounded, he jumped high and pushed the ball back to the half.

After Sun Hao got the ball, he gave McGrady the Warriors the chance to take the lead in attacking!

McGrady took the ball to the frontcourt, and although he played as a point guard, he was more like a point guard in this game.

But this is what Old Nelson thinks. Let McGrady go up and share Sun Hao's organizational pressure, so that Sun Hao can devote more energy to scoring.

The Clippers guarded the game with people on the front, while Kobe was defending against McGrady, while Sun Yue was defending against Sun Hao.

This is very interesting, the match between two Chinese national teammates on the field.

Sun Yue is Sun Hao's serious disciple and is also familiar with Sun Hao. At this moment, he is not only close to his body but also uses his body to fight Sun Hao within the rules.

This is not to be defensive, but also to consume Sun Hao's physical fitness as much as possible.

This defensive strategy is obviously adopted by Kobe, and it is also very correct.

Sun Hao started running without the ball, and used Ibaka and Oden to cover it up continuously, quickly threw away Sun Yue and got a good catch opportunity at the middle distance of the high position.

It’s not that the Clippers’ defense is problematic, but that the quality of Ibaka and Oden’s unball pick-and-roll is very high!

Compared with last year, the Warriors' two inside players have also improved greatly in all aspects!

McGrady is a hooligan when she is a "point guard" because he is too high, and high means vision.

And although he does not have the sense of passing the ball like Nash, as a former super scorer, he knows very well when it is the most suitable one to pass the ball.

Sun Hao just came out, and McGrady's pass had arrived.

Run, catch the ball, take action, and do it in one go.

"Swish!"

With a crisp sound, Sun Hao's first move came up, and it was also the Warriors' first move tonight that was hollowed out into the net!

There is no complicated tactics, but the Warriors played the most exciting cooperation on the court!!

The Oracle Arena instantly fell into a boil.

Such an opening is so cool!
