Chapter 633 The NBA Finals Guangdong Derby!(1/2)
With the atmosphere created by the media, the attention of this year's finals has been greatly increased.
However, one thing was actually ignored inadvertently: Sun Hao has not lost the finals yet!
The Mavericks once, the Lakers three times, and Sun Hao won all of them!
So on the fifth finals journey, Sun Hao's fans were full of expectations.
As for the voices from the outside world? They were already used to it when Sun Hao was still in the Lakers.
However, when it comes to fans, the most enthusiastic this year is Guangdong fans.
Because the Guangdong Derby appeared on the stage of the finals for the first time!
This scene is more lively than the Chinese New Year.
After all, it’s one year after another, but this kind of derby may be just one time!
So if there are tourists in Guangdong these days, they will see the overwhelming NBA Finals publicity, and fans are also happy to discuss it.
Comparison of data between Yi Jianlian and Ibaka, the playoff performance of Sun Hao and Paul, the ratings of the two teams' lineups...etc.
Basically, the media in Guangdong have already thought of what you can think of.
Guangdong and Guangxi are the places with the strongest basketball atmosphere. This NBA Finals can be regarded as pushing this atmosphere to the highest point.
According to some news reports, many squares in Guangdong will broadcast the game live on large LED screens.
Although the finals have not started yet, we can already foresee what a grand scene will be.
With the attention of everyone, on June 4, the first game of the finals will begin at the Chicago United Center.
During the warm-up before the game, the scene was already swept in the audience.
Soon, a special character appeared in the camera.
Jordan.
The Bulls returned to the finals, and even if they had all kinds of grudges and entanglements before, he would come to the United Center.
When the camera was given, Jordan also smiled and waved his hand to signal.
This scene was put on the LED screen on the scene, and the morale of the Bulls team members increased by 20%!
Jordan's significance to Chicago and the Bulls is something that no one can compare to, and his appearance has a halo.
After the warm-up before the game, the opening ceremony was entered.
The Warriors were first released as the visiting team's starting roster.
Sun Hao, Danny Green, Durant, Ibaka, Oden.
Old Nelson lived up to the name of "crazy scientist" and directly put Green, who was in good training condition, into the starting lineup!
As a coach, his courage is beyond the reach of most NBA coaches.
After the visiting team, the home team will be next.
As soon as the lights dimmed and the music went together, the damn adrenaline began to gush out uncontrollably.
Oracle Arena began to use "unstoppable" as its opening music last year, and has gradually been accepted by fans and is deeply loved by Bay Area fans.
But when it comes to the opening music that is most popular among the masses, it is the United Center's "Sirius"!
This opening music is even more great than basketball, and can compete for the best in sports.
As soon as the familiar prelude came out, Jordan immediately appeared in the minds of the fans, and then they had goosebumps.
And what many fans don’t know is that the NBA opening ceremony was just the time when the Bulls used this opening music.
It can be said that this song led the NBA trend.
Not to mention Jordan is at the United Center tonight!
When Paul was the last to appear and the host introduced him from North Carolina, the content behind him and the overwhelming cheers on the scene were drowned out.
There is no familiarity in this scene. The only difference is that the last person introduced like this is Jordan!
So you understand that Chicago fans are so crazy because there is a close connection between Paul and Jordan because of North Carolina!
After the opening ceremony, the Bulls' starting lineup also followed suit.
Paul, Hamilton, Peja Stoyakovic, Yi Jianlian, Chandler.
After the opening ceremony, both sides completed the final tactical arrangements, and the starting players began to appear one after another.
At this time, people were already shaking their heads outside the LED screens in many shopping malls on the streets of Guangdong.
You know this is a working day and it is daytime!
This basketball atmosphere is the world's first place.
Chandler and Oden jump ball.
With the cheers of fans, Oden turned the ball back to the halftime of the Warriors!
The visiting team attacks first!
As soon as he came up, the ball was dominated by Sun Hao's hands.
In the Western Conference Finals, Nelson, in addition to discovering that Ibaka's existence gave the Warriors a chance to play small balls, another big discovery was Sun Hao's durability.
He had always felt that letting Sun Hao play the "James system" consume too much physical energy.
After all, in terms of physical fitness, James is also a unique existence in the long history of NBA.
But the Western Conference changed his view.
Sun Hao is much longer than he imagined!
Moreover, Durant's current style of playing is still unballed, which makes Sun Hao's system run smoothly.
So in the finals, Sun Hao's ball holding rate will begin to surge.
And the person who brought the pick-and-roll was Durant directly.
As soon as he got started, Sun Du's pick-and-roll ultimate move, and Old Nelson had no idea of reservation.
Moreover, this choice is expected. Compared with the Clippers, the Bulls' individual defending ability is weaker than the Clippers.
However, Durant failed to pick-and-roll twice in a row...
Paul, he slips like a loach, and he slides past Durant every time.
This ability to wrap around pick-and-roll is even better than Sun Hao.
Sun Hao looked at it for a while and then signaled Durant to pull it away.
It seems that Paul's injuries have been almost healed in the past few days.
He then waved and signaled Oden to come out.
Compared with Durant, Oden's body is there, and the pick-and-roll is much more solid.
Although the first step didn't block it, the second step was firmly blocked.
Sun Hao's golden-level "first step expert" accelerated and rushed in directly beside Chandler.
The Bulls' defensive reaction was very fast, and the entire defensive formation quickly pulled in, and Yi Jianlian retreated to the basket as early as Chandler went out.
A big pocket array immediately appeared in front of Sun Hao.
Although the Bulls' individual defense ability is worse than that of the Clippers, their overall defense ability is not much worse.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have won the battle with the Celtics, whose defense level is in the top three levels in the league.
However, the moment Sun Hao drilled into the pocket, he had already divided the ball into Durant's hands with the ability to take advantage of the opportunity!
If the Western Conference Finals are compared to the trial field of Sun Hao's "James System" playing style, it is difficult for the finals to be the show after the completion of the practice!
Durant was also prepared for a long time, and after receiving the ball, he directly opened his hand and shot.
The Bulls' individual defense ability is still a little worse after all, and Durant has almost no interference in this goal.
"Swish!"
The result was that the basketball directly pierced the Bulls' Nets like a sharp arrow.
0 to 3!
Durant helped the Warriors take the lead!
While retreating, Durant also found Sun Hao to slap his high fives. Both of them had an indescribable calmness.
After Sun Hao said to him "enjoy that feeling", he went back to relive the classic villain movie "The Joker".
Then, his mentality improved a lot.
The Bulls' offense, Paul organized at the top of the arc.
Although he had confirmed at a press conference that his idol was Iverson, his playing style was still much worse than Iverson.
He is still more inclined to the traditional point guard style.
Yi Jianlian took Hamilton's pick-and-roll and then took the basket.
