Starting from the last bus in the NBA

Chapter 401

Chapter 401

When Wang Hao saw Manu Ginobili passing the ball, he knew something was wrong and turned around quickly.

Sure enough, basketball has appeared in the hands of Malik Rose.

If it were any other time, he would naturally stand still, after all, he didn't want to be the background board either.

However, today's responsibilities are somewhat different.

Since he is going to protect the rim, he has to go all out and not miss any chance.

Forget it this time, so what about next time?

Even if there is a possibility of being dunked, as the guardian of the inside line, he must do so.

Otherwise, why are the insiders often detained?

It's not just because the inside players have to guard the basket.

Wang Hao didn't dare to delay, and hurried back to the basket, and at this time, his speed advantage was reflected.

If it is replaced by a real inside player, it must not be so fast.

Even so, if Malik Rose is fast enough, Wang Hao won't have a chance.

However, facing such a weird pass, even Malik Rose was stunned for a moment.

And this gave Wang Hao a chance.

Without any delay, Wang Hao almost jumped up with Malik Rose.

Just as Malik Rose was about to smash the basketball into the hoop with both hands, Wang Hao also pressed his palm.

"Peng!"

The bodies of the two collided in mid-air, and Wang Hao seemed to hear a muffled groan.

At this moment, the two seemed to stop in mid-air.

Malik Rose exerted strength with both hands, but found that it was as if the basketball had hit the wall.

In such a mid-air physical confrontation, the offensive players will obviously suffer more.

After all, they still have to control the basketball.

Sure enough, blocked by a huge force, the basketball flew away from Malik Rose.

And his body was also a little out of balance.

Malik Rose wanted to grab the rim to keep his body balanced, only to find that it seemed that he couldn't touch it at all.

"Boom!"

Malik Rose fell directly to the ground and flew out of the bottom line.

And Wang Hao, who just stood still at this moment, glanced disdainfully, then turned around and ran immediately.

After the block, the basketball just fell into the hands of Lewis, which was another opportunity for the Sonics to counterattack.

Malik Ross was still collapsed on the ground, and in an instant, the supersonic speed immediately formed a lot.

Gary Payton took a look at the situation on the field, and chose to break through without delay.

Sure enough, the Spurs' defensive formation was not well established, and now it has become even more messy.

After drawing the defense, Gary Payton quickly flicked the ball out.

At this time, Wang Hao just came to the position and easily finished the basketball.

It was just a fake move, and Duncan was quickly shaken away by Wang Hao. There was no way, he was too big.

As soon as Malik Rose ran up from the ground, Duncan was also shaken away, which means that the Spurs' inside line was empty.

In fact, it is not possible, because Ginobili and Bruce Bowen are shrinking towards the inside.

Especially Bruce Bowen, with a fierce look on his face, as if he wanted to defend the basket to the death.

Wang Hao could even see that Bruce Bowen, who was defending inside, did not raise his hands.

He raised his right hand, then rested his left on his chest.

A very concealed elbow movement is to make Wang Hao feel uncomfortable when he confronts his body later.

After all, everyone knows that Wang Hao can dance very well.

Bruce Bowen's elbow on his chest was aimed at Wang Hao, so it goes without saying.

Wang Hao was also polite, and also raised his elbows.

In the blink of an eye, Wang Hao had come near the three-second zone, and then jumped high.

Bruce Bowen also jumped up symbolically. In fact, he also knew that he couldn't guard against it.

Of course, this refers to regular defensive moves, but he can also play small moves.

"boom!"

However, at this moment, Bruce Bowen rushed towards Wang Hao's crotch with his elbow.

Suddenly he felt a stabbing pain in his head, and he hurried, as if someone had hit him with a sap.

Immediately afterwards, Bruce Bowen only felt a little dizzy, and his consciousness dissipated little by little.

"Boom!"

This is Wang Hao's powerful dunk.

This also made Bruce Bowen's body limp and collapsed to the ground.

The referee immediately realized that the situation was not good, and he didn't even have time to appreciate Wang Hao's wonderful dunk.

"Doctor, doctor, treatment is needed here!"

The referee hurriedly called the Spurs team doctor to the field.

Only then did Wang Hao notice that Bruce Bowen not only lost consciousness, but also had blood all over his forehead.

From this appearance, it seems a bit serious!

Wang Hao was also taken aback in his heart, he was also thinking, did he go too far by doing this?

It's just that once you think that this guy is called Bruce Bowen, it's okay.

Even, it can be more ruthless.

"King, king..."

"MVP, MVP..."

Supersonic fans instantly boiled up.

As for someone being injured, it shouldn't be so exciting, Supersonic fans don't care at all.

After all, this guy's name is Bruce Bowen.

What's more, facing the opponent in front of him, Supersonic fans will not have the slightest sympathy.

After all, PJ Brown was injured because of them, and even Wang Hao was almost sent away.

In this case, how can you make them sympathize!

Not only the fans, but the commentators of the major TV stations are also extremely excited at this moment.

"My God, this is the king!"

"Wang, he overwhelmed Malik on the defensive end, and then he overthrew Bruce on the offensive end."

"This guy is simply an invincible destroyer."

"If you want to stop me, are you ready to lie on the ground?"

……

Fortunately, a partner commentator noticed that Bruce Bowen seemed to be in a coma, so he quickly reminded him.

Only then did the excited narrator calm down.

This ball is very exciting, but no matter what, we must first care about the injured player.

"Hope Bruce is okay!"

The referee was also worried about other situations. After the Spurs team doctor appeared, he immediately asked the players from both sides to return to the bench.

"This is a foul, this is a malicious foul!"

"Is this playing ball? This is killing people!"

"Bruce has fainted, isn't this a foul?"

……

Players are asked to return to the bench, but there is no such requirement for the head coach.

Popovich was standing courtside, growling loudly, pressing the referee.

Because just now, the referee communicated with the technical desk, and the goal just now was valid.

That's right, from the referee's point of view, it was just a normal physical contact, and the goal was no problem.

Even if Popovich knew, he would use this method to put pressure on the referee.

Wang Hao didn't care about this, and sat quietly on the bench.

He did have the intention of revenge, and he also wanted to do it, but he didn't expect it to go so smoothly.

In fact, this ball is a bit like Wiggins dunking Noel later, which also knocked Noel unconscious.

Same situation, elbow to head.It's just that Wiggins' power is obviously not as powerful as Wang Hao's.

The Spurs have to stop the bleeding of Bruce Bowen first, which is not a big deal.

It's just that the brow bone was knocked open, which is a common thing in the NBA.

If that's all, then after the bleeding is stopped, Bruce Bowen will go straight back to the game.

What was more serious was actually his brief fainting.

Spurs teammates even applied for a stretcher to carry Bruce Bowen out of the arena.

In other words, at least for this game, it is impossible for Bruce Bowen to appear in the game again.

As for the next one, it is unlikely.

Popovich was obviously aware of this result, and his whole face immediately became ugly.

This is definitely a huge fight for the Spurs.

Today's Spurs rely on defense to win.

Their entire defensive core is naturally Duncan, but, as an inside player, Duncan takes care of more insiders.

As for the perimeter defense, Bruce Bowen's role is crucial.

As a result, Bruce Bowen's big killer is gone now.

The bad consequences of Bruce Bowen's departure spread rapidly, that is, Wang Hao had no one to defend.

Stephen Jackson, and Manu Ginobili's defense is okay, but this is just for ordinary players.

The defense of both of them is not as good as the top, but more than the bottom.

Their defense is better than the overall level of the NBA, but it is far behind the NBA's top defense.

In particular, the defense of the two is still very selective.

Like Stephen Jackson, he is more suitable for defending slow, all kinds of tall players.

Just like the Black Eight Miracle of the Warriors later, it was he who limited Nowitzki's performance.

Another example is Ginobili, because of his thin body, he cannot guard against players who are too strong.

Ginobili's body is very flexible and has sufficient body flexibility. He is more suitable for such a player.

For example, Kobe, for example, James Harden.

More than ten years later, Ginobili is still able to single-handedly defend against James Harden, in fact, he just happened to match up.

You want Ginobili to defend McGrady and James, which is a bit embarrassing.

At the end of the first quarter, the two teams scored 30:22.

With 30 points in a single quarter, it can be said that the Spurs' defense today was completely defeated by the Sonics.

Especially in the transition of offense and defense, the Supersonics played to the extreme today.

Every time a defense is successful, or a rebound is grabbed, the Sonics are five players.

In this case, even if the Spurs had been prepared for a long time, they couldn't prevent it at all.

The Spurs, known for their defense, were scored 30 points in a single quarter in the playoffs, which is already very telling.

The end of the first half, 57:43.

At the end of the halftime game, the Sonics almost scored 60, and the Spurs' defense had little effect.

Especially Wang Hao, today is full of firepower.

In the half game, the data of 21 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists showed his strength to the fullest.

It's not that the Spurs haven't thought of a way. In fact, in order to defend Wang Hao, they have changed many methods.

From Stephen Jackson to Ginobili, the defender has changed several times.

Later, the Spurs simply double-teamed.

It's a pity that the effect is also very average. Wang Hao's 6 assists in the halftime have already explained the problem.

Double-teaming can indeed limit Wang Hao's scoring to a certain extent, but it cannot limit his passing.

Especially offensively, everyone in the Sonics was fully fired, in good condition, and scored very smoothly.

With a gap of 14 points at halftime, even the Spurs have already felt the pressure of a mountain.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, the Spurs made adjustments again.

Manu Ginobili replaced Bruce Bowen as the starter, which is both a helpless move and a strategy for the Spurs.

Popovich's idea is very simple, that is, to strengthen the offense.

Really someone else, with Duncan, Ginobili and Parker's lineup, offense is really not a problem.

Especially Duncan, after receiving Popovich's instruction, he significantly enhanced his offense.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, he succeeded in singles.

After catching the ball at mid-range, Wang Hao's defense base followed up just as he was about to play singles.

To put it bluntly, just don't give Duncan a chance.

It's just that Reggie Evans has a big defensive problem, and his position is a bit wrong.

Wang Hao double-teams from the top line, and it stands to reason that Reggie Evans should guard the bottom line, so as to form a double-team.

But his defense is too easy to be fooled. Duncan just made a fake move, and he actually followed up.

As a result, the offline breakthrough space was leaked out.

Wang Hao's double-teaming is not in place yet, Duncan has successfully broken through and scored with dunks with both hands.

No way, he even gave up the opportunity to switch offense and defense, and grabbed Reggie Evans for a while.

"Reggie, I have reminded you many times, don't be fooled, you just need to stand still.

We will double team Tim Duncan with you, pay attention to our position, remember clearly? "

"Wang, I see. It was my problem just now. I was so excited that I forgot about it."

"It's okay, come on next time!"

Falling into a positional battle, Wang Hao played a pick-and-roll with Gary Payton again, received a pass from Gary Payton, and he made a mid-range hit.

Wang Hao is in really good condition today.

Of course, not only him, but the entire Sonics team is in very good condition.

Therefore, it is difficult for you to say clearly about home field advantage, but it does exist.

Looking back, the Spurs handed the ball to Duncan again, but this time, the Sonics double-teamed in place.

Duncan didn't dare to delay and passed the ball quickly.

After Parker got the ball, he didn't dare to delay and broke through quickly. Thanks to Wang Hao's fast enough speed, he defended the inside line.

It's just that Parker's reaction was also extremely quick, and he split the ball again to Ginobili who made an air cut.

Ginobili broke through again, finally shredded the Sonics' defense, and he made a layup.

The Supersonics were not to be outdone, and Wang Hao had already served from the bottom line almost at the moment when Ginobili made a layup and landed.

Gary Payton didn't delay for a moment, and directly led the Sonics to the Spurs halftime.

The Spurs didn't dare to be careless, and rushed to their own half in a hurry.

This is really just the end of the attack, and there is no chance to take a breath, so they have to run again immediately.

This is definitely a huge test of physical strength.

Of course, more importantly, in such a hurry, the defensive position must not be scrupled for a while.

For the Spurs players, it is good to be able to find someone to defend and do a good job of man-to-man.

Sure enough, Lewis, who was running forward, suddenly stopped and gave Wang Hao a pick-and-roll.

Malick Ross and Ginobili immediately chased after Wang Hao, but left Lewis empty.

Lewis made an air cut, and Gary Payton's pass followed immediately, helping Lewis dunk.
