Awarded the championship ring!

After the pre-match event, it was 7:50, and the Supersonics players quickly entered the final preparations before the game.

You can't lose on the night when the championship ring is awarded!

After last season, the Kings were highly praised by major media, but the media's praise also made sense for the Supersonic players!

Webber is at his peak at the age of 28. New generation stars such as Bibby, Wang Zhizhi, and Peja are good at fighting. The veteran Doug Christie is getting more and more powerful as he grows older. Bobby Jackson, Tkogru, Scola Pollard and other substitutes are excellent...

In the new season, the Kings have been regarded as the favorite to win the championship.

The Kings' performance between the regular season and the playoffs last season was quite different. At that time, during the playoffs between the Lakers and the Kings, some people said that the Kings were just a "regular season team", but after watching the Western Conference Finals between the Lakers and the Supersonics... it seems that there are a few games where the Kings who can compete with the Lakers to the end, which is already very awesome.

It can be seen that the Kings are playing better and better in the series against the Lakers. From the beginning, when they had no power to fight back, to the loss of G4 by only 4 points, and Pierce scored 40 points, the Lakers narrowly won.

Obviously, the Kings just haven't adapted to the intensity of the playoffs. After playing in the first round, they directly met the Lakers, the second most powerful in the league, which is so miserable.

In the new season, the Kings, which seem to be a little stronger, are definitely capable of becoming a real championship contender.

‘Webber 94, Little Zhizhi 85, Christie 88, Bibi 87, Peja 88... There is no real super player, but at least the first-class upstream level, he can still play Princeton, and use first-class upstream level stars as role players. It’s hard to deal with this opponent!’

After chatting with Wang Zhizhi for a while, Zhang Hao and Wang Zhizhi read the opponent's player detection report. I feel that this year's playoffs, there are more than the Lakers who are worthy of excitement in the West... I'm a little happy!

The Supersonics have a deep fear of the Kings. On the other hand, the Kings players are not only afraid of the Supersonics, they are under a lot of pressure! They are challengers!

Although they beat the Supersonics twice in the regular season last season, they also beat the Lakers twice in the regular season!

But what is going on in the playoffs? This year, the Kings are more confident because of their outstanding performance in the regular season last season, but their goals have become greater and their pressure is greater!

...

At 8 pm, the regular season opening match of the Supersonics to host the Kings at home has begun!

The Supersonics sent Cassel, Jordan, Artest, Zhang Hao and Ben Wallace to start.

The Kings sent Bibby, Doug Christie, Peja, Webb, and Wang Zhizhi to start.

Not to mention, although the Kings have become more confident, have greater ambitions, and have greater goals... But seeing 23+24 standing together, I am still scared!

Even though I won twice last season, I was still scared this season...

The referee blew the whistle at the beginning of the game and threw the ball into the air. Ben Wallace beats Wang Zhizhi to win the jump ball, and the Supersonics attacks first!

After Kassel advanced to the frontcourt, he passed the ball to Zhang Hao who came to the top arc. Zhang Hao originally wanted to pass it to Jordan again, so that Jordan could play with his back from high positions and shoot their Supersonics' first goal in the new season.

But Jordan went from the right side of the free throw line to the left bottom line of the three-second zone, Artest slipped the bottom line to the middle distance on the right, and Ben Wallace lifted the left side of the free throw line.

It is obvious tactical moves to break the mark.

Zhang Hao did not refuse, and came by himself, facing Weber's defense, dribbling the ball continuously under his crotch.

Webber looked at Zhang Hao as he was taller than him, and his dribbling movements were many times more sexy than him, and he had only one idea - he wanted to scold the streets!

Zhang Hao suddenly stepped to the front left. Webber's steps were very good and he had a retreat, but when Zhang Hao retracted his foot, Webber returned to his position in time.

With a fake move, I couldn't shake the Webber of Olajuwon, who was said to be 5 cm shorter.

Although Weber's defense is much worse than Olajuwon, his defense is not bad, and he can defend some small forwards.

After Zhang Hao withdrew his foot, he raised his hand, as if he wanted to catch the ball. Weber did not consider the issue of being passed this time, so he pressed it decisively... As a result, Zhang Hao really grabbed the ball and raised it!

Weber immediately pressed up completely to interfere, but Zhang Hao had successfully raised the ball completely, raised his hand straight, and took advantage of Weber's half-step retreat to prepare for the force of the bent knees and hit Weber's defense with three-pointer...

Good luck and feel good, Zhang Hao made a three-pointer!

Ben Wallace and Kassel have prepared the pick-and-roll without the ball, Artest is ready to cut in, Jordan is ready to run backwards to the line... As a result, Zhang Hao just threw it away like this!

Jordan thought his playing style before his first retirement was already domineering, but who knew this kid was even more outrageous than him! He singled out three-pointers against a 208-centimeter power forward! He still didn't consider shaking his opponent away and just needed room to jump and raise the ball!

Curry on the sidelines looked so hard that he stared at him. He still had a primary school student's appearance. This is where my heart is like, as my godson!

The fans on the scene were just having fun!

Although it is not a back-playing with gorgeous technical movements, it is not a brutal dunk.

But this feels...a bit overwhelming!

So special! You can still play like this!

Weber also felt hit hard, but the Kings are still different from ordinary teams.

When the Kings attacked, Bibi faced Artest's extremely oppressive defense and passed the ball to Wang Zhizhi who pulled it to the top arc.

As the Kings' second three-pointer, Wang Zhizhi successfully brought Zhang Hao out of the basket and passed it to Peja who led Jordan to the baseline and ran to the right corner. Peja crossed in the middle, Weber received the ball and cut in, and then scored... Doug Christie received the ball and hit two points!

In the Kings lineup, every player's shooting distance has reached at least two points, and everyone can pass the ball. The Princeton system does not consider who the star is, but only considers who has the best chance. Under this basketball concept, Adelman's interlude running tactics that he could not perform in the Warriors at the time were very good.

The Warriors' group of people, Chris Mullin and Joe Smith, were fine, and asked Tim Hardaway and Spreville to play the threat of running without the ball... The failure is certain.

But the Kings, even Webber, aims to create the best shooting opportunities.

When everyone implements this, it is not much different from playing star tactics. Weber is still the first move point, and Peja is still the second move point.

But their mobile phones will become better because of the Princeton system!

The Supersonics defense was torn apart with smooth and gorgeous team running tactics, and the three-pointer that Zhang Hao just started just now gave the Kings a blow.

When the Supersonics attacked, Jordan returned to the high position, and his playing style remained unchanged. Just like last season, Jordan still played back from the high position and opened up the situation. Kassel was in the middle of the dispatch, Artest or Ben Wallace responded, and Zhang Hao took the blame.

This tactic relies heavily on Jordan's personal abilities.

Zhang Hao was a little worried, after all, compared with the comprehensive ability evaluation in Jordan player detection report last season, it has dropped by 3 points... What a f*ck!

Relying on his arrogant static power, Jordan took a step away from Doug Christie, seized the fleeting opportunity, turned over, and made a jump shot from the back!

Do you really think Jordan has two kilograms of muscles growing white?

Who is Jordan? He clearly felt that his lateral movement and explosion acceleration had a large decline. At this time, choose to increase the speed or increase the weight to bring stronger static power? The team has Zhang Hao and Artest. For the defense of speed and impact players, he doesn't need him at all. He just needs to follow the opponent's pitcher who is not that fast and use his defensive consciousness to complete the assisted defense and switch to defense. After the speed drops, you can help Ben-Wallace replaces the power forward...

After Jordan resumed training in August, he decisively chose to gain weight without further affecting his speed.

As long as you have enough physical strength, Jordan can be hard-steeled!

The fans at the scene were also worried about Jordan's condition after he got one year older, while the Kings were looking forward to Jordan getting really old... He was old and had a little white beard.

But he is still extremely fierce!

Doug Christie, who had the strength of defense, was beaten and played!

At the beginning, the two teams entered a tug-of-war stage.

The starting lineups of the two teams have not changed last season, and their playing style has been implemented throughout the year.

The Kings' starting lineup has become better through a season of partnership, and the Supersonics' starting lineup is the same. Peja, Bibi, Wang Zhizhi, and even Doug Christie are all improving. The Supersonics' side is the same. Even Cassel has improved compared to last season.

As a challenger, the Kings are very excited to play when they meet the Supersonics. In terms of the Supersonics, everyone is very excited to play when they encounter such a powerful opponent.

Both teams played carefully... not all, there was one person who made both the opponent and the opponent confused...

This guy is too much trouble!

Starting from more than 3 minutes to the first quarter, Zhang Hao began to adjust his playing style and needed more shots in the running position.

Although Jordan relied on gaining weight on the offensive end, his offensive strength was even stronger than last season, and he also used the progress of Artest and Ben Wallace on the defensive end to avoid his own shortcomings.

However, Zhang Hao could see that Jordan's physical strength evaluation was only 88, which is the physical strength of an ordinary starter. According to Jordan's playing style, he played with all his strength. He was probably in good condition in two quarters. With the threat, he could have 30 minutes of effective performance time. If the time was extended, he would have the possibility of dragging his legs.

It is impossible to completely copy the style of playing last season. In this situation of starting, Kassel has brought his abilities to the extreme, so the one who should make changes is Zhang Hao.

It's just Zhang Hao... it's really a bit floating...

When you receive the ball, consider throwing it first!

Throw it in various postures, and you have to throw it even if you don’t have difficulty creating difficulty!

There was even a ball that Wang Zhizhi and Peijia made up, and Zhang Hao lost his shooting space. He kept leaning back, and his feet were about to land after jumping. After throwing the ball, his back fell to the ground. When he leaned back, he looked like he was lying in the air, but he still shot!

The last time Zhang Hao's shooting was close to this kind of wave, he was still partnering with O'Neal, and O'Neal actively worked hard to win the MVP.

However, Zhang Hao was in good condition tonight and felt good! The official pause made 5 of 8 shots before and after the timeout! He scored 14 points!

First, he stopped the Kings at 6 minutes and 11 seconds, and then stopped the Kings at 9 minutes and 22 seconds!

During this period, the Supersonics beat the Kings 19-13!

Not to mention others, even Peja was stunned.

Can you still shoot like this?

Obviously, the two teams were still playing hard to distinguish, but as they played, Zhang Hao did not play according to the routine, he just wanted to shoot, and he made a shot in every situation... he also made a shot!

Ben Wallace and Artest also completed a second attack each, of which Artest's second attack was still 2+1!

The Kings started with 11-10, not to mention the upper hand, at least they were equally matched.

Now, it is 5 points behind 24 to 29!

On the other hand, Zhang Hao initially just wanted to relieve Jordan's scoring and attacking pressure during regular time, and take the initiative, anyway, Zhang is young.

After playing for a while, he found that the touch was good, so he threw more.

As I was investing, that's it...

Entering the timeout stage again, the coaching team led by Doug Collins made adjustments - with Jordan as the starting point of the offensive, Kassel dominated the ball, and attacked around Zhang Hao's running and receiving the ball.
To be continued...
