Chapter 221 Suspenseful G2(1/2)
When the playoffs reached the East-West Finals, the East finally attracted more attention, and the East Finals showdown became the more popular group of duels.
The reason for this situation is that public opinion believes that—
There is no suspense in the Western Conference Finals. Ninety-five percent of the Warriors defeated the Supersonics and rushed out of the West with a huge advantage.
Ten out of ten will be the Warriors defeated the Supersonics with a score of 4 or so and rushed out of the West.
In short, the winner of the Western Conference Final must be the Warriors.
This series without any suspense is naturally not very concerned about, so the attention is naturally not high.
In contrast, the Eastern Conference is full of suspense.
Before the G1 started, the Brick reporters had different opinions.
Some people believe that no matter how powerful the magic double stars are, they cannot stop the GOAT with full firepower.
In this Eastern Conference Final, the Bulls have a greater advantage.
Some bricks also believe that this year's playoffs, the Sharks have performed at the dream level in the past two seasons.
At this time, the NBA version was still an inside version. The Sharks performed well, undoubtedly adding a lot of yards to the Magic's rushing out of the East.
The Eastern Conference Final is very anxious and has a lot of suspense, at least this was the case before the G1 started.
The suspense was so great that all the Warriors and generals took a long time to watch the first duel of the Eastern Conference from beginning to end.
Lin Xing must admit that this game is very exciting, much more exciting than the Western Conference Finals.
No one can stop Danzi's outside line, which is normal, just magic wings.
What Nick Anderson, what Denis Scott, last year, was able to block that while Danzi was not at the top.
Danzi is already at the peak of ten this year, and Nick Anderson and Denis Scott can't stop Danzi.
Danzi killed all directions on the outside, and the sharks broke out on the magic side.
Inside, Longley, Otis Thorpe, Buck Williams and others can't stop the Sharks.
Of course, the Bulls chopped the sharks, but in this game the Sharks' free throw was very accurate. When the Bulls chopped the sharks, they cut for half a quarter and gave up halfway.
The Sharks competed against Danzi, and the scores rose alternately from the beginning of this Eastern Conference Final.
The situation was tense until the last second of the game, and Danzi performed a classic finale.
He made a high jump shot, made a precise hit, and won the Magic.
"This game is so exciting..."
"The superstars compete, and the winner is not decided until the last moment of the game. The final score of the hack is exciting and classic."
In the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Bulls finally won a little.
But exactly the same as the pre-match public opinion debate, the gap between the Bulls and Magic is very small.
This round of Eastern Conference Finals can indeed be said to be full of suspense.
"In a game, I really can't tell who can rush out from the east, either the Bulls or the Magic."
...
After the Eastern Finals, the second game of the Western Finals began immediately.
Like the Warriors, the Supersonics also watched the first battle of the Eastern Conference Finals throughout the entire journey.
Seeing the public opinion enthusiastically discussing who can win the Eastern Finals, I often mention the Western Finals.
As long as you mention it, it must be-
"The only suspense in the Western Conference Finals is that the Warriors can defeat the Supersonics within a few games..."
Being surrounded by such public opinion, the Supersonics was so excited that they wanted to use this G2 victory to prove that there is also suspense in the Western Conference Finals.
George Carl also made complete preparations, and for this he even changed the starting lineup of the Supersonics.
"The Supersonics have changed a lot in this game. Jose Hawkins was removed from the starter, and Nate McMillan replaced him as the starter..."
"George Carl means that he must sacrifice his offense and defend with all his strength."
Nate McMillan, who is more famous in the future, led the Trail Blazers to the youth storm and led the Hawks to overtake the Lotto all the way to the playoffs.
But at this time, Nate McMillan was not an unknown person.
McMillan has been selected to the second team of the All-Defensive Team twice in the past two seasons.
The second team of the best defense team is not a great honor.
But McMillan received this honor as a substitute, which is very unusual.
The substitute was selected for the second team of the best defense team, which is enough to show how excellent McMillan's defense is.
However, McMillan has excellent defense but bad offense.
He can shoot except to catch the ball and shoot two open three-pointers, and then he can't do anything.
This is far behind Jose Hawkins who can break through and shoot.
George Carl means it's obvious-
He didn't want to sacrifice overall defense, so he sacrificed some offense.
When Lin Xing saw the Supersonics lineup, he roughly understood the defensive match of this game.
At the beginning, the ball jumped, as usual, Lin Xing defeated center magician Elvin Johnson.
The Warriors attacked first, and Lin Xing received the ball in the frontcourt, and then he faced Nate McMillan's defense.
That's right, in this game, McMillan is the one who defends Lin Xing.
In this regard, it is because of G1 of the West Finals, Payton's single defense against Lin Xing was too poor.
On the other hand, it is also because Payton's assisted defense is better.
"There is a high probability that McMillan is the main defense, Payton assists in the defense, and the double guards are surrounded, and Elvin Johnson protects the frame, Supersonics are investing a lot."
Supersonic defense is based on fast zone clamps to prevent eating.
What they are best at is fast peripheral area clamping.
Now, the combination of McMillan's main defense and Payton's assisted defense is considered to be a point they are good at.
Lin Xing was directly surrounded by the ball at the beginning.
If you have a double clamp on the strong side, you will definitely miss someone on the weak side.
The supersonic leak is Rodman, and only Rodman can be.
Lin Xing swept to Rodman in the open space. He didn't hesitate and jumped up a pass and gave it to him.
Rodman hesitated for a long time when he was in a big open space. He still chose to slap the basketball in.
The next second, supersonic repair defense will be in place.
Camp turned around and blocked Rodman, although Rodman quickly passed the ball back.
But no matter what, the Warriors' first attempt was a failure.
The ball was passed back to Lin Xing, outside the three-point line, and McMillan defended alone.
Lin Xing thought about it, but walked in. After two steps, Payton came up again.
The Warriors' offensive time was only five or six seconds left. There was no time left, so Lin Xing could only attack with the clamp.
With a clang!
At the beginning, the touch was cold, and the expected iron smack came like this.
At the basket, Rodman jumped up and grabbed the offensive rebound, making up for the mistake of not shooting hard passes at a large open position.
But the subsequent tip-in was hit by a big hat behind Kemp.
With a bang, the Supersonics actually defended the Warriors in this attack at the beginning.
Elvin Johnson grabbed the rebound, switched offense and defense, and it was the Supersonics' turn to attack.
Everyone believes that the Supersonics replaced José Hawkins and replaced Nate McMillan, which greatly sacrificed the team's offense.
But when the supersonic attack really started, people realized that a substitution had a very small impact on the supersonic speed.
McMillan has three points, although it is a three-pointer that can only play a role under a large open space, at least that is three points.
McMillan was buried in the bottom corner, and the madman who was facing the position to guard him did not dare to let him go.
So, even if Jose Hawkins is replaced, the Supersonics' offense is still the same as G1, and can fight.
Of course, with the Warriors' defense and supersonic attack, it is still one of the Second Immortal Bridge, and not many of them can fight.
The first ball at the opening game, Kemp, against Rodman's defense, made a mid-range shot and smashed the box.
Lin Xing got into the basket and pulled the rebound.
Turning around and pushing the counterattack, he still failed under the rapid retreat of supersonic speed.
Then, there was the positional battle, and Lin Xing once again faced the encirclement of the supersonic double guards.
