The Road to Stardom: Start as a Slam Dunk Master

——The way Michael handled the team's conflicts on the court is regrettable.

——After losing the first game, the SuperSonics used a victory to tear apart the Wizards' invincibility rumors.

——The Wizards' internal hidden dangers, the untamable and unruly lion, may no longer be of any help to the team.

——Yao's physical strength and playing style are a huge problem. The 204 cm little man will continue to haunt him until his physical strength is exhausted again! Yao is a softie! This is just a rookie No. 10. If it were Rodman back then, Yao would have been blown away.

——Doug Collins’s tactical arrangement also has problems. With a big man like Yao and Jordan, why not use the triangle offensive tactic? Just like the Lakers' OK combination, that is the method Jordan is most familiar with.

——That old guy doesn’t understand tactics at all, he just gets incompetent and furious on the bench.

Opposition comments are always ubiquitous. Artest's fiery temper and rumors of discord between Jordan and him during games have become the most worrying thing for Wizards fans today.

Without Artest, relying solely on Jordan and Yao Ming, as well as Harrington, who is currently only half the top three, it always feels a little less interesting compared to the Sonics' god combination.

CI Center, G2 arrived as scheduled.

Wizards fans are worried and anxious... Although there are a group of people who are tired of Jordan's aesthetic appreciation, the world will never lack truly loyal fans.

But now all kinds of unfavorable remarks are directed at the Wizards, as if the Wizards have lost this series.

Wizards fans feel that G2 will have a very difficult time again. According to some current media predictions, even if Wizards G2 has the home court advantage, its winning rate is already less than 50%.

They don't want to see the God of Basketball lose, and they don't want to see Jordan's most likely seventh championship taken away by a rookie team.

They are nervous, worried, scared...

But as soon as the Wizards came on the scene, the fans felt something was different.

The atmosphere and mood of the Wizards team seemed very good.

When Artest and Jordan were on the court, they were talking and laughing. The 20,000 fans in the arena couldn't tell that there was any disagreement between the two. Instead, it looked more like the two had just gone on a honeymoon. .

This made the extremely nervous fans feel a sense of relief that they had not seen for a long time.

As soon as the game started, the tactics displayed by the Wizards once again made the fans' eyes shine.

A slightly modified triangle offense!

Instead of letting O'Neal turn around like the Lakers, they put the center of the triangle offense at a fixed position, which is Yao Ming under the basket.

Then Tyronn Lue pairs with Jordan, or Harrington pairs with Jordan, to cooperate with Yao Ming under the basket to form a strong side triangle formation.

And if Tyronn Lue is forming a formation, then Harrington will be the one who stretches to the baseline on the other side of the weak side to shoot 3-pointers. If Harrington is forming a formation, then Tyronn Lue will be pulling to the baseline. Shoot three-pointers to form outside fire support.

Artest, who returned, became the essence of this triangle offensive tactic. Using his extensive experience and excellent tactical understanding, he was responsible for forming a 'false triangle' with Jordan and another person on the outside. '.

The Lakers' triangle offense and the Bulls' triangle offense in the past essentially only have two offensive sides, which are the left and right strong and weak sides that the triangle focuses on.

But now with the false triangle formed by Artest on the outside, the Wizards' triangle offensive tactics have formed three triangle positions.

The false triangle at the top of the three-point arc and the two left and right triangles surrounding the basket depend on the organizer. As the center, Yao Ming only needs to move two or three steps under the basket to complete the formation coordination.

This greatly improved the Wizards' offensive firepower, and also put the SuperSonics into an embarrassing situation of defending inside and losing outside, and defending outside and losing inside.

Sakuragi's blockade of Yao Ming was also in trouble due to Artest's return.

Artest's screen was so sharp that Yao Ming could always pass by him safely, while Sakuragi would be forcibly stripped away from Yao Ming like a piece of clothing.

At the same time, on the offensive end, both Lin Dong and Jordan, who tried their best to break out in the last game, seemed a bit weak. Lin Dong scored 38 points, while Jordan only scored 26 points.

But under the cover of Artest, Yao Ming became the dominant presence in the game. He played for 43 minutes and scored a super double-double of 42 points and 21 rebounds, helping the Wizards easily seal a victory with 117:102.

The Wizards ushered in a life-saving victory, and the Sonics seemed not surprised by the result.

They tried their best to win G1. As for G2, which is the home court of the Wizards, the SuperSonics did not have much hope. The home court advantage of others cannot be ignored. There is a high probability that the league will not want a one-sided finals. The loser is the Sonics. A completely acceptable result.

What the Sonics didn't expect was that G3 would return to their home court on June 6.

The whole carnival in Seattle, the madness of all Sonics fans.

Everyone believes that the loss of G2 was just because the SuperSonics lost due to the opponent's home court advantage. The SuperSonics' book strength is no longer inferior to the Wizards, or even stronger than the Wizards. Winning this series is certain. thing!

So the SuperSonics, who returned to their home court, looked full of momentum as soon as they came on the field, and they seemed to want to win these two home courts in one go to establish a victory.

But……

The Wizards continued the triangle offensive system from G2, and Artest's off-ball coverage of Yao Ming became a big problem that the Sonics seemed unable to solve.

The offensive end is simply unstoppable!

Lin Dong and Jordan have recovered a lot, with 48 points and 8 assists and 35 points and 12 assists respectively. However, the scoring gap between the team's No. 2 players has become the key to the Sonics' continued defeat.

Payton didn't feel good in this game. When Lin Dong needed offensive support, he only made 7 of 18 shots and scored 18 points and 8 assists. Due to excessive psychological relaxation in the previous game, Payton The SuperSonics perimeter players entered the game slowly and had poor touch. They collectively made 5 of 16 shots from the perimeter and wasted too many opportunities.

Looking back at the Wizards, they continued the momentum from the previous game. Tyronn Lue and Harrington made 7 of 13 shots from the outside. After adapting to the two consecutive games, Sakuragi Hanamichi's restriction effect on Yao Ming has been minimal, and Yao Ming created another miracle. Once again, he dominated the game with 38 points and 17 rebounds.

Obviously they won G1 on the road, and the SuperSonics had a magnificent start, but now they were beaten back to 1:2. The huge score behind made everyone in the SuperSonics and fans suddenly feel nervous.

The opponent is Michael Jordan, the god of basketball, or an angry Michael Jordan.

The crisis seems to be coming quietly...
