Although the Bulls did not conduct an off-ball attack on Zhang Hao, they only did not conduct an off-ball attack on Zhang Hao who ran outside the three-point line. If Malone followed suit and extended outside the three-point line, then the 76ers defense would have no choice. Done.
Just as Zhang Hao thought, the 76ers were really testing Zhang Hao's starting status.
Kobe did a really good job switching defense this time. I can count on both hands the number of defenders in the league who were able to interfere with Zhang Hao's catch-and-shoot shot after the pick-and-roll without the ball just now while switching defense in place. Come on, this is just about bullet speed and jumping height combined with height and wingspan. First of all, you have to switch defenses and be able to follow up.
This season¡¯s All-Defensive Team defender received third votes, and the Best Defensive Player vote was third. Kobe¡¯s defense just now was really good.
But, even so, Zhang Hao still made the ball!
??Although strong casting relies on personal ability and luck, it means that Zhang Hao has a good touch!
The 76ers don¡¯t dare to bet on Zhang Hao¡¯s status. In the last round, the Western Conference Finals, Zhang Hao averaged 36+ per game and shot 62% from the field!
This magical performance, in the past 10 years, only three players have performed similarly in a series.
Jordan has three times. He played the Lakers in the 1991 Finals, the Heat in the first round of 1992, and the Suns in the 1993 Finals.
Olajuwon had it once, when he played David Robinson in the 1994 Western Conference Finals.
O'Neal has done it three times. He played the Suns in the second round of 2000, the Suns in the second round of 2001, and the Lakers played the Clippers in the first round of the season that just ended.
And Zhang Hao¡¯s performance in this year¡¯s Western Conference Finals is even more exaggerated than these people look. The most important thing is that Zhang Hao performed like that less than a week ago!
Zhang Hao¡¯s goal turned the game into an uncontrollable situation from the beginning.
Larry Brown is excellent in building a defensive system, strategic planning on the defensive end, and on-the-spot adjustments on the defensive end.
The defensive strategy he deployed this time was mainly to follow up with Zhang Hao, and always keep a defensive player who can cause interference in front of Zhang Hao.
But when it comes to execution, it¡¯s different.
Larry Brown is very calm when formulating strategic plans, but the players on the court cannot be calm!
An opponent who can easily score 40+ points, who can score more than 80 points in the regular season, and most people even think that if he is in good shape, he can break Jordan's historical record of 63 points in the playoffs. He just played a god-level Western Conference. After the finals, the first shot in the first game of the finals was hit despite interference
Usually, it is Larry Brown's poor offensive command that traps the players, and they can only rely on defense, Kobe or Malone's singles to support them.
This time, Larry Brown made the right decision, but his players cheated him.
No matter what Larry Brown yells on the sidelines, the players on the court want to restrict Zhang Hao from catching the ball. Zhang Hao is so big, and the explosive confrontation with his elbow and the weight-reduced Malone are not at a disadvantage for him. They have to prevent him from catching the ball alone. It's almost impossible, so the two of them will surround each other
Larry Brown never expected that the regional flanking and pseudo-zone defense he taught would be used by his players to restrict one person from the other team from receiving the ball.
Cassell took over the ball decisively and directed his teammates to change their playing style. Ben Wallace went to pick and roll Jordan without the ball, and Artest cut in The one who benefited the most was Jordan, who played particularly aggressively tonight!
In the first quarter, Jordan scored 11 points in a single quarter, Cassel scored 6 points and 4 assists, and led the team to 32 points in a single quarter!
With the Bulls in disarray on the defensive end, they chose to attack against Biao, and their performance was relatively average.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? As tall buildings rise from the ground, and the bulls attack by themselves.
The Sonics' starting lineup played the entire first quarter, and the Sonics' starting five have a higher defensive efficiency than the 76ers!
Zhang Hao protects the frame, Ben Wallace sweeps up, Artest defends in the top arc area, Jordan is always ready to help Artest or Ben Wallace to defend and cut in, Cassel attacks in the area
This playoffs is mainly a two-round series against the Lakers and Kings. It is obvious that Artest and Ben Wallace have improved on the defensive end.
Artest is okay, a genius and young.
But when Ben Wallace played against the Kings after playing the Lakers, he could see improvement on the defensive end. By the time he reached the Finals, he was still improving
"Ben Wallace, 27 years old, 206 cm (?), 110 kg, ability evaluation 84, offense 55, defense 100"
Originally, before the Western Conference Finals, Ben Wallace's defensive evaluation was the same as Garnett's, tied for the best that Zhang Hao had seen.
But after the Western Conference Finals, Ben Wallace became the first god-level defensive leader Zhang Hao saw whose defensive evaluation was off the charts!
In the first quarter, the SuperSonics??, but it¡¯s incredible that I have gained fans again.
Kobe, who was frustrated and angry to the extreme, slapped his face and left the court without responding to the fans
Soon, the post-match celebration time ended and the award ceremony began.
David Stern and Bill Russell came to the court.
If the Bulls can make a comeback, David Stern will be happy. If he can't, it doesn't matter Anyway, he will sell one more game tickets.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I declare that the NBA championship of the 2001-2002 season isthe Seattle SuperSonics!"
After receiving the trophy, each Sonics player took turns raising the trophy for the cameraman to take pictures. This is a scene that only occurs when winning the championship. Several veterans burst into tears again
After the trophy was circulated around, it returned to Jordan's hands. Zhang Hao consciously took a step forward
??Averaging 26 points, 13.3 rebounds, 6.7 assists, 2.3 steals, and 1.8 blocks per game, as well as a Double 20 performance. Although Zhang Hao's performance in the finals was the 'worst' among the four finals, he was still worthy of FMVP.
Finally, David Stern continued to speak: "Ladies and gentlemen, congratulations again to the Sonics for winning the championship. I announce that the winner of the 2001-2002 NBA Finals Most Valuable Player award is"
Zhang Hao is already ready to wave
I just heard David Stern play the tail tone for a while and then say: "Michael Jordan!"
The data of Jordan's 6 games were displayed on the big screen. In terms of scoring, 42 points, 24 points, 20 points, 24 points, 26 points, 20 points, averaging 26 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.3 steals per game 44.6% of field goals. rate, 30.8% three-point shooting rate
Not to mention Zhang Hao's embarrassment, Jordan, who was holding the O'Brien Cup, was stunned.
Everyone at the scene was surprised. The fans who were getting up and leaving stopped in their tracks.
Zhang Hao reacted the fastest, smiled, took a step back, took the O'Brien Cup from Jordan's hand, stepped forward holding Jordan's shoulders, and then retreated to his teammates.
At this time, others also reacted
Although Jordan also averaged 26 points per game, almost no one regarded him as a candidate for the Finals MVP. If the Sonics won, it would be Zhang Hao, and if the Bulls won, it would be Kobe.
This is the consensus of people.
It doesn¡¯t matter what other people think, the fans at the scene burst into crazy cheers again!
When Jordan received the FMVP trophy from Bill Russell, he was stunned.
Even though he has won FMVP 4 times, he is still confused this time.
Zhang Hao stepped forward again, holding Jordan's shoulder with his right hand and raising the O'Brien Cup with his left hand.
Jordan finally came to his senses, reached up and put his arm around Zhang Hao's shoulders, and raised the FMVP trophy with his right hand.
The away team won the championship, and the fans cheered when the away team lifted the trophy This scene was the first time!
Reporters quickly gathered around and asked questions.
This ending was unexpected by everyone!
Zhang Hao silently gave up his seat, and Jordan took the microphone handed over by the staff. He kept sighing, shaking his head, smiling bitterly, and then smiled from the bottom of his heart It was like changing his face.
Several minutes passed. After Jordan took deep breaths, he picked up the microphone and put it to his mouth: "Once, I never thought I would leave this city, but I did in the end. Fortunately, I have such a good relationship at this age. A great group of teammates, two fantastic seasons, and for me it was a very important part of my career and I enjoyed it.
"I didn't make up my mind originally, but now, I have decided to stop here. From now on, there will be no Michael Jordan in the NBA. "
After saying that, Jordan turned around and handed the microphone to Zhang Hao, squeezed through the crowd holding the unexpected FMVP trophy, and walked towards the player tunnel.
The fans at the scene were shouting "No", "Don't do this", "Suppress"
The reporters were shocked again. FMVP was actually Jordan Jordan actually retired on the spot!
The reporters who reacted wanted to follow up with Jordan, but Jordan ignored him and walked straight into the player tunnel without looking back.
The reporters could only turn around and surround the confused Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao didn't react for a while. After a while, he picked up the microphone. At this moment, the scene quickly became quiet. Bulls fans also wanted to hear what Zhang Hao had to say.
"It's too sudden. Mr. Jordan got the FMVP. I'm happy for him, but everything is too sudden. I don't know if this is the final decision Michael Jordan, the best in history!"
