Chapter 699 I can't afford to lose tonight's game
When James was old and couldn't rush, the fans couldn't help but sigh.
But it wasn't a joke that James rushed up and played when he was young.
At the moment the game ended, the whole stadium was filled with uniform shouts from New York fans.
"Little Emperor!"
This nickname that inherited from Sun Hao’s past, fans cheered for him from the bottom of their hearts that night.
Like G1, social media was very lively after the game, but this time they were not for Paul but for James.
Moreover, the feeling of "you just finished singing and we were on the stage" also made the fans excited.
Who doesn’t love the series of gods fighting?
Moreover, this year the gods fight more than the Eastern Conference Finals. As soon as the game was finished, fans couldn't wait to turn their attention to the West.
The Knicks won a game in G2, and it is worth paying attention to whether the Lakers can do the same in the Western Conference Finals.
Of course, most fans are actually quite rational. After all, the Warriors are not weak as a dynasty team, and it is much more difficult for the Lakers to win back a game than the Knicks who play the Bulls.
But the game has not started yet, so the fans naturally have expectations.
A day later, the Oracle Arena was packed, and in Los Angeles, more than 100 kilometers away, fans also flocked to the Staples Center.
Now, this kind of live broadcast on the away court stadium has become normalized in games with high attention.
The stadium has money to make money. Although this kind of ticket price will be lower than that of normal games, it can save a lot of labor costs if it is not normal games;
Fans are just looking at the football atmosphere, so they are naturally happy to pay for it.
Including the home stadium, some away stadium scenes will be cut for away players to watch.
So although it is not a live cheering, this has indeed created a very good model.
During the warm-up before the game, Curry's player game hit a three-pointer, which shows that his condition and feel are very good tonight.
After the opening ceremony, the lineups of the two teams were released one after another.
The Warriors, Curry, Thompson, Durant, Ibaka, and Oden.
On the Lakers side, Sun Hao, Butler, Carter, Millsap, and Yao Ming.
Harris changed the formation and replaced Knight with Butler.
This lineup is also the lineup used by the Lakers during the Christmas Games before.
Yao Ming and Oden jump ball in the midfield.
Yao Ming's expression looked a little serious.
He was depressed before, but his training intensity was not less, and even more.
He was trying to respond to the doubts about him with practical actions.
"beep!"
The referee on the sidelines whistle sounded, and Yao Ming jumped immediately and turned the ball back to the half.
Butler controlled the ball and the Lakers got the chance to take the lead in attacking.
Sun Hao controlled the ball to the frontcourt and signaled Yao Ming to play in the low-level triangle in the first round.
Sun Hao could feel the emotions of Yao Ming, so he would definitely help Yao Ming find his condition.
The ball was hung in, and the Warriors chose to defend Oden alone.
Oden did a good job in the last game, and Old Nelson also gave him enough trust in this game.
Yao Ming held the ball and leaned against Oden. After feeling the center of gravity, he walked under the basket and was blocked by Oden. He turned around and hit the board with his hook.
"Bang!"
The ball plays the board well, and Yao Ming shows his soft touch.
Unfortunately, the ball fell to the basket after hitting the board, which was not well placed, and rebounded and came out.
Yao Ming wanted to catch the frontcourt rebound, but Oden stuck him at this time, and Ibaka retracted and closed the rebound.
The Lakers' first wave of offense failed.
There are still many details to see from this round.
First, Oden's defensive strategy. He knew Yao Ming's current state, and more precisely, it should be because of his poor touch, so he drove Yao Ming out when defending.
The second thing is that Oden knows that he has no advantage in front of Yao Ming's height by grabbing the board one-on-one, so he is more of a card than a snatch, allowing Ibaka to collect rebounds.
These two details show Oden's growth. After more competition experience, this optimistic big man seems to have finally started to get on the right track of his career.
Yao Ming didn't care much about the first ball either.
After seeing the rebound being snatched, he turned around and buried his head and was already running towards the backcourt.
This wave of reaction was quick enough. The Warriors' fast break advanced to the frontcourt, and Yao Ming had already reached the three-point line and failed to form a direct scoring opportunity.
However, the Warriors quickly completed the offense. After a few drops from the outside, Curry took a shot one meter away from the three-point line.
This was actually reflected in the first game.
As a mad scientist, Nelson, Old is confused for a period of time after losing the Christmas war.
But he is by no means saying that he will completely throw the team's fate to Ibaka's touch. His tactical adjustment is to speed up the offensive rhythm.
As long as the pace gets faster, Yao Ming will run back more times on the field and consumes a lot of physical energy. Even if he is in good condition, he will reduce the damage to the Warriors' inside line.
"Swish!"
Curry's three-pointer at the opening of the court was not a waste of time, but he made the first shot after coming up!
The Oracle Arena burst into cheers instantly.
The Warriors are taking the lead!
When the Lakers reached the frontcourt, Sun Hao continued to put the ball in, and Yao Ming continued to play Oden with his back.
This time, Yao Ming turned around continuously and wanted to squeeze into the basket and take action.
But Oden's body was indeed thick enough, and he couldn't squeeze through.
Although the "Chamberlain Garussel Combination" during the draft was exaggerated, the body was indeed at the historical level.
Yao Ming finally chose to turn around and lean back slightly to the bottom line.
This is one of his iconic offensive methods, and it is hundreds of goals without scoring thousands of goals.
"Dou!"
But the damn feel is like being cursed. It is obvious that it feels right, but the ball that shot in the end hit the basket and hit it out.
This time Oden himself protected the post and rebounded.
Yao Ming still lowered his head and ran back.
Although he was depressed, his emotions were controlled well.
This also helped him. The Warriors were about to reach the inside, and Yao Ming chased Curry's layup and covered the ball.
However, Curry reacted very quickly. After seeing the rebound, he turned around and turned around and scored the ball.
5 to 0.
The Warriors showed an extremely hot state at the beginning.
This also made the Warriors fans at the scene extremely excited.
Because if the Warriors continue to play at this pace, they are likely to win two home courts in a row.
With a big score of 2-0, they defeated the Lakers, a powerful enemy. They were only one step away from completing the four consecutive championships!
Sun Hao continued to hang the ball to Yao Ming.
Yao Ming once again hooked after a single.
Unfortunately, the ball still bounced out!
Fortunately, Yao Ming was mentally prepared this time and got the position first and made a quick tip-off.
The ball was very accurate, but the ball was popped out in the end!
Yao Ming finally made a ruthless move and wanted to make up for the deduction through Oden, but Oden was not a vegetarian. He was a little reluctant to make up for it, and the ball was finally deducted...
Seeing the ball popping out of bounds at the end, Yao Ming couldn't control his emotions at this time and lowered his head and sweared.
This is really annoyed myself.
The game lasted about 5 minutes, and the score on the field was 6 to 14.
The Lakers are already behind the Warriors' score by nearly double digits.
The pace of the game doesn't seem to change much from G1.
Yao Ming was also hailed for his second foul in this quarter during a defense.
Yao Ming looked very depressed after being replaced. He picked up the towel handed over by the staff and threw it to the ground, then lowered his head and gasped.
This scared everyone else.
In addition to the remarks on the All-Star arena, Yao Ming always gives people a gentle temper.
But perhaps it was precisely those remarks that Yao Ming was angry with him.
At this time Durant was on a free throw, and Sun Hao walked directly to Yao Ming, who was bowing his head and patted him on the shoulder.
Yao Ming looked up and his eyes met.
Sun Hao nodded with a smile.
There was no verbal communication, but the two seemed to have completed the communication.
When he returned to the court, Sun Hao supported his knees with both hands, then looked up at the score, with a hint of determination in his eyes.
Chapter completed!
