In fact, it was not just Carlisle, but Phil Jackson's expression was also stunned at the other end of the court!

Before the game, his expectation was that Mo Ning would start to perform, and the Lakers and Wizards were in a stalemate at the start, and then waited until Sun Hao made efforts to win the game.

As a result, Mo Ning could not stop Yao Ming at all.

Just when he was still thinking about what to do, the problem was solved by itself!

Because Yao Ming has already committed two crimes, he can only end up early!

His presence was not as fast as Carlisle, but he realized that it was Sun Hao's credit.

He smiled again and really wanted to become an old KFC grandfather, but he still couldn't help it.

If you have a team member like Sun Hao, don’t be too relaxed in coaching!

No wonder when Old Nelson talked to Sun Hao in private before, he always praised Sun Hao.

He can't help it now!

Carlisle could only be forced to replace Yao Ming.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, no coach will keep him on the court if the core has already committed two crimes.

Because if you commit three breaches in the first quarter, the player's backcourt playing time will become very limited, and it is likely that he will commit a full breaches in advance and leave the court.

It can be said that Yao Ming's two offenders had a decisive impact on the situation in the game.

It was like a balance, originally tilted infinitely towards the Wizards, but with Yao Ming's two offenses, he instantly returned to balance and could even tilt towards the Lakers!

Ariza walked onto the free throw line, probably because of the previous confrontation, and he failed to hit both free throws.

But no one blamed him. He caused Yao Ming's second foul, which was much more valuable than these two points.

McGrady played Ariza with her back in the frontcourt, but she turned around and pulled her back and still made a blacksmith.

Ariza's defensive ability is improved on one hand, while McGrady's character is on the other hand.

Many people think that McGrady is a player with strong key ball skills because of his 35 seconds and 13 minutes.

But this is actually very ironic like Kobe's backwardness, and it is a real false proposition.

McGrady is among the superstars, and the key shot rate is the lowest.

The Houston team was reversed in two playoff leads 2-0 in history, which has a lot to do with this.

This is also one of the reasons why Jordan, Kobe, and Sun Hao are so crazyly sought after by fans.

The Wizards missed the attack. When they turned around, Sun Hao turned around and broke through and made a layup. He also caused Uncle Huo Er to make a defensive foul.

After he stepped onto the free throw line and made extra free throws, the score on the court became 9-6!

The Lakers have overtaken!

Carlisle reached out and called for a pause.

"Sun's score is very strong tonight, here and here, two lines of defense limit him."

Carlisle is indeed a master of tactics. The first sentence he said after the pause hits the point.

Some people may say that this is not nonsense. O'Neal is not here, and Sun Hao has been 40+ consecutively in the past three games. Everyone knows to guard against Sun Hao.

But in fact, it is different. I am used to the paddling this season, and Sun Hao rarely scores crazily at the beginning like before.

But Sun Hao's offense tonight is completely different from the past three games.

This means that the Wizards must play double or even multi-player double-team at the beginning.

This is a tactical adjustment.

After the timeout, Sun Hao took the ball to the frontcourt, and the Wizards directly double-teamed him.

Sun Hao distributed the ball to Finley, but he didn't stop and went straight through the double team without the ball.

Carlisle's judgment was very accurate. All Sun Hao's actions after the opening were obviously heading towards the box.

Finley passed the ball in time and Sun Hao received the ball at the free throw line. In front of him was Mutombo, who was substitute Yao Ming.

Mutombo still has strength, and this season he has staged a wonderful show of three consecutive blocks, rejuvenating his second career.

Unfortunately, Sun Hao did not give him any chance to perform, and he threw in the middle of the journey.

My ball was already flying towards the basket before you blocked it.

"Swish!"

A crisp sound.

Sun Hao got his 11th point after the opening game!

Scores are like chopping melons and vegetables, or taking a bag, his score will be doubled in the blink of an eye.

Such performance also reminds many fans of one thing. Now the NBA's single-quarter scoring record is Sun Hao!

In terms of scoring explosive power, he said no one dared to say first.

This is verified again in this section.

Although Carlisle's reaction was quick, the Wizards still couldn't stop Sun Hao from scoring.

Although this kind of breaking the single-quarter score record did not happen again, Sun Hao scored 27 points in this single-quarter!

Skip, dunk, back hit, breakthrough, three-pointer...

Sun Hao sacrificed all the weapons in his arsenal.

"I don't have any objection to say that Sun is the strongest scoring ability since Michael?"

On the commentary seat, Barkley started the daily sunblow mode again.

"I agree, Sun's offensive skills have no shortcomings, if you don't ask him to pass as well as Stockton."

Smith also echoed from the side.

After Sun Hao turned his back and leaned back, he also mastered the technique of "Smith" and began to get into Sun Chui's role.

Of course, one thing that can be clearly felt during the game is that Sun Hao's attack in the first quarter was more of an inside line.

This choice is normal and correct.

Just like when O'Neal couldn't play in the playoffs last year, Kobe also made more impacts at the basket, and the effect was just as good.

Super centers like O'Neal and Yao Ming cannot play the game and the impact of being on the offense and defense.

Driven by Sun Hao's crazy scoring, the Lakers scored 40 points in the first quarter!

After the quarter, the Lakers led the Wizards by 19 points 40-21!

This is a quarter that won the game!

Moreover, in addition to Sun Hao, there is another player's performance in this quarter, which is also quite unexpected.

Mooning.

At the beginning, Mo Ning was completely suppressed by Yao Ming, but after Yao Ming got out, Mo Ning seemed to have changed his body, defending the Lakers' inside line to protect the Lakers' inside.

This is also a very important reason why the Lakers can limit the Wizards' single-quarter score to below 20 points.

After Tim...I didn't play O'Neal and was still the first inside Duncan, Alonzo I was not against Yao Ming and the top defensive center Mooning appeared.

Facts have proved that Mo Ning dared to volunteer to start the game before, not only because of that movie, but because he felt that his body was almost time to play high-intensity games.

In the second quarter, the Lakers' substitutes continued to make efforts, and within a short while, the gap widened to 20 points.

Yao Ming had two early fouls, Sun Hao had a big explosion in a single quarter, and the Lakers played a single quarter...

I'm afraid no one would have thought of this script before the game.

To be more precise, it shouldn't have thought of it five minutes before the game started.

But sometimes the NBA games are interesting and interesting in this way, unexpectedly but reasonable.

If this advantage continues at the previous pace, the Lakers are likely to win a big victory in the Christmas game.

But when Yao Ming came back in the second quarter and reappeared, the situation changed again.

After Mo Ning and Yao Ming got on the throne, they were at an absolute disadvantage again.

The Lakers' huge inside disadvantage is once again highlighted.

And one thing that has to be mentioned is that Yao Ming’s football quotient and learning ability are also very strong.

After four years of career, Yao Ming's skills are already very mature, but his experience is still lacking.

After retiring, Bruce Bowen once talked about defending Kobe, and he said that the most important thing is not how to limit Kobe, but how to keep himself defensively strong and stay on the court.

Because offensive players of Kobe's level are very aggressive, if you get a foul too early in the first quarter, you will inevitably lose your defense intensity in order not to let yourself get a second foul.

So this is Bowen's biggest experience in defense.

And this is exactly what Yao Ming didn't do well in the first quarter of this game.

But he learned very quickly and he still made two fouls after halftime.

In other words, Yao Ming was not troubled by fouls in this quarter, and the Wizards have always maintained an absolute advantage in the interior.
