At 8:51 pm, the third quarter of the second game between the Supersonics and Nets finals began.

The Nets sent Kidd, Lucios Harris, Rodney Rodgers, Kenyon Martin, and Aaron Williams.

The Supersonics sent Odom, Wesley Person, Zhang Hao, Kirilenko, and Chris Anderson.

The Supersonics attacked first, and Odom made a three-pointer on Lucios Harris' head... missed!

The Silver Fox made Odom throw three-pointers directly above the opponent's defender's head failed.

The success rate could not be high. I have never heard of the Magician shooting from the far side of the opponent's small defender.

Kidd protects rebounding and doubles in personal rebounding.

The Nets attacked, failed to hit the fast break and fell into the positional battle. Rodney Rodgers received the ball in the frontcourt and tentatively singled Zhang Hao... passed!

Although Zhang Hao's horizontal movement and prediction are still amazing for his body shape, Rodney Rodgers used his steps and burst speed to pass Zhang Hao!

Kirilenko made up for it in time, blocking Rodney Rogers' breakthrough.

The time for Kirilenko tonight is second only to Zhang Hao in the Supersonics team.

However, what Kirilenko did was still much worse than Ben Wallace. Rodney Rodgers was divided into the middle and Aaron Williams cut in!

Kirilenko only noticed Kenyon Martin who he defended. He could return to Kenyon Martin, but did not notice that Kenyon Martin could help Aaron Williams block Chris Anderson!

Rodney Rodgers played Zhang Hao alone, and the breakthrough was opened, and the Nets team offense was flowing!

Rodney Rodgers passed the ball, Aaron Williams caught the ball and flew and dunked...

‘Pa’

A crisp sound of cover sounded, and Aaron Williams was slapped to the ground with the ball and the man!

Zhang Hao on the left side of the three-second zone contracted his defense like lightning, giving Aaron Williams a big hat from the side!

This hat is shocking!

Is Zhang Hao's defense strong at the bottom line moving? Of course, it's amazing. Does the Nets know? I definitely know.

However, Rodney Rogers just passed Zhang Hao.

Normally, Zhang Hao's single defense ability is no worse than the movement of the bottom line and the shrinking frame protection.

Zhang Hao cannot defend himself, which means that his physical strength has declined - everyone's cognition.

So after Rodney Rodgers successfully passed Zhang Hao and opened up the team's offensive situation, the Nets were very confident in the pass and cut without the ball.

As a result, Aaron Williams flew into the empty basket and was blocked!

The ball even hit Chris Anderson who was chasing in. Chris Anderson didn't react and came to grab the ball. It was Zhang Hao who grabbed the ball himself and started a counterattack!

Zhang Hao rushed to the frontcourt and was caught by Kidd and Lucios Harris in the middle. He was not obstructed at all. He entered the three-point line, came to the free throw line, and started in the free throw line...

‘The dunk master (gold) triggered, wearing player Zhang Hao bounced the empty basket this time +5…’

Zhang Hao jumped high and smashed the ball into the basket with a fierce splash!

The basket was creaking with a dunk, 53 to 52, and the Supersonics overtook by 1 point!

The Nets reacted very quickly, and they immediately understood that they were still the same as in the first half, and they still couldn't be careless at all!

Unlike when G1 started, the Nets have already gained a clearer understanding of this game and a higher acceptance of the "impossible" things.

When the Nets attacked, Kidd directed his teammates to play a relatively more complicated attack.

Under Kidd's top positional offensive command, Lucios Harris received the ball from half a step outside the free throw line and made a mid-range shot, 54-53, the Nets still maintained a stable score!

Without Artest and Ben Wallace, the Nets have a chance to attack.

The Nets are still not doing very well in defensive counterattacks and running and fighting. The Nets are mentally prepared for these two points.

There are two basic points: one is that the speed is fast enough, and the other is that the anti-counterattack is strong in cooperation. Artest and Ben Wallace are not here, and the Supersonics are not bad either. Although they are not as good as the previous game, in this aspect, it is not much worse than the previous game.

The Nets' offensive breakthrough in this game is positional battle offensive! The Nets seized the opportunity again and scored two points.

Play steadily and come steadily... The Nets have actually developed a strong team mentality this year's playoffs.

It was just because of the general environment that the Nets' strength did not reach the championship level, but they also felt that they were already a championship-level strong team, so there was such a big psychological gap in G1.

Now, after the Nets have found the right position, combined with the strong team mentality they have developed, they give people a really good feeling.

When the Supersonics attacked, the Nets defended with all their might.

From the adjustment of the Supersonics' style of playing, the Nets have felt what a real championship-level team is!

Without Artest and Ben Wallace, as well as the two main substitutes Arroyo and Ginobili on the back, the Supersonics can't play purely defense, but they can still quickly adjust to offensive basketball. As long as Zhang Hao plays seriously and hard, he can play comparable to the Nets!

But the Nets still have a chance! Zhang Hao plays hard... What if Zhang Hao can't continue to play hard? For example, physical strength issues!

The Nets have been increasing the difficulty of Zhang Hao's scoring, and at the same time try to consume more of Zhang Hao through offense.

When the first half was over, Nets players could already hear Zhang Hao breathing heavily on the court. Even if they could hold on at that time, after the half-time break, the physical strength caused by the consumption of the first half declined, and the physical dominance declined... and so on, things would happen - the Nets' thoughts, the Nets' hopes.

Odom advanced to the frontcourt, and Zhang Hao came to the left side of the three-second zone.

The Nets' defense is very fast. Zhang Hao is on the outside, Rodney Rodgers defends, close range and at the basket, Kenyon Martin or Aaron Williams who are close to change defense immediately. At the same time, the two of them are also required to take on the task of replenishing Zhang Hao at any time.

This time, Kenyon Martin was standing behind Zhang Hao.

"Kenyang Martin, 25 years old, 206 cm, 109 kg, ability evaluation 89, offense 83, defense 89, rebounds... Playing 17 games, averaging 15.3 points, 9.6 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 1.7 blocks..."

Kenyon Martin's opponent, which major media benchmarked in the west, is Wang Zhizhi. Kenyon Martin's data scored is no worse than Wang Zhizhi, and its role is no worse than Wang Zhizhi... But the measurement information Zhang Hao saw was, in addition to his athletic ability and coordination ability, Kenyon Martin was beaten by Wang Zhizhi in other aspects.

Wang Zhizhi and Kenyon Martin are quite in line with each other. A teammate who is fast and capable of defending can score and rob...

But Kenyon Martin's single defense is similar to Garnett. The players defend very well. Zhang Hao did not intend to play Kenyon Martin one-on-one at mid-to-close range.

You can play, but it is more efficient and can also play a lot of shots. There is no need to play like that. It has not yet reached the efficiency gap between point guard shooting and defensive singles shooting.

But this time, Zhang Hao relied on Kenyon Martin to ask for the ball!

Kenyon Martin was ready to prevent Zhang Hao from turning around or turning over... and other techniques. Aaron Williams also tacitly began to shrink, preparing to attack and interfere with the attack... Zhang Hao received the ball and rushed directly towards Kenyon Martin!

Kenyon Martin didn't have time to react and stepped back to the reasonable collision zone arc!

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Hao's second impact attacked Kenyon-Martin. As soon as Kenyon-Martin stood firm, he took off again. When he landed, his upper body pressed forward, and his heel was already stepping on the arc on the other side of the reasonable collision zone!

Aaron Williams contracted in time, and Zhang Hao turned around and failed to make a dunk. He was pulled by Aaron Williams, but Zhang Hao still threw the ball out when the referee whistle sounded and made a shot.

The referee hesitated for a moment, and finally determined to the technical station that the goal was valid and the penalty was required!

Zhang Hao's former teammate and current Nets coach Byron Scott shouted at the referee for a foul.

There is indeed that possibility, but this is the home court of the Supersonics. There is no need to watch the replay, just like Zhang Hao is good.

At the beginning of the second half, just as the Nets felt that the opportunity had come, the Supersonics and the fans on the scene all felt that the difficult time was coming.

However, Zhang Hao beat two against two 2+1!

Seeing the ball fall into the basket and hearing the whistle of the referee slapped a beat, Zhang Hao broke away his arms after landing, separated Kenyon Martin and Aaron Williams next to him, roaring while pounding his chest and walking towards the free throw line!

Zhang Hao's voice made the Supersonics players and the fans on the scene excited!

The previous dunk, the "Dunk Master (Gold)" links "Go to Heart", which has stabilized the confidence of teammates.

This time, although it was not a dunk, such a brutal attack, like a fairy ball, played no less than the role of a hard bonus of a medal!

After these two rounds, the fans on the scene were cheering wildly!

Even without Jordan, he could no longer play the team attack. Even without Artest and Ben Wallace, he could not even play the iron-blooded defense. What's the matter?

They have Zhang Hao!

Zhang Hao walked onto the free throw line, and amid the crazy 'MVP' shouts of fans at the scene, he also made the free throw. 56 to 54, the Supersonics overtook the Nets by two points!

After 1 minute, Zhang Hao's personal score increased to 32 points!

Zhang Hao's block counter-dunk just now, coupled with the positional battle, 2+1 with one-to-two, and iron-blooded chest-beating roar... to a great extent, affected the confidence of Nets players.

Such a change in confidence is not that he dares to vote, but that he becomes more eager to score points to suppress his anxiety.

So, the opportunity was not chosen well, Lucios Harris' wing received the ball and was interfered with by Kirilenko! The backward strong shot was strong!

The Birdman protected the defensive rebound and passed it to Kirilianko. Kirilianko kept handing the ball to Odom. Odom pushed forward and counterattacked. Zhang Hao received the ball and was blocked by Kidd and Aaron Williams. He had no chance to go up and down, but he had a good vision and was suspended in the middle!

The birdman who followed up took off and violently dunked!

The Nets' defense is really good. Although the defense is super huge, they are almost comprehensive in defense and are proficient in everything.

In the top four in the Western Conference Finals, facing the Nets, if you play normally, only one team may be suppressed by the Nets - the Kings.

Not only the Kings, who fell after Webber's injury this year, even the peak Kings of last season, lost to the Nets twice in the regular season, and their playing style was severely restrained.

But unfortunately, the Supersonics have become a pure superstar team this season. There are only three players who scored double-digit points in regular season, including Zhang Hao, Kassel, Artest, which is completely different from the Kings' six players who averaged double-digit points per game!

Zhang Hao played with all his strength tonight, and he could already lead the team to play hard to match the Nets in absent with both Wallace and Artest. Now, Zhang Hao has learned about his teammates' status through half a quarter of the game, and learned about the defensive characteristics and effects of his opponents when facing their current lineup... At this time, Zhang Hao spent the precious treasured O'Neal second-grade unconditional advanced version trial card, making good use of the intelligence obtained in the first half and the opponent's cognitive gap created...

He temporarily obtained O'Neal's awareness of assisting defense at mid-to-close, with excellent assisting defense at mid-to-close range, brutal level low-post back-playing, and quick breaking... The play method is still simple, but it is even more unstoppable!

After a few more rounds, Zhang Hao scored 5 points and 2 assists after halfway through the third quarter.

When the official timeout of the third quarter entered the official timeout, the score was 67 to 64, and the Supersonics led the Nets by 3 points.

Nets players looked at Zhang Hao on the big screen with 37 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 1 block... 10 points, 1 rebound, 3 assists and 1 block in the half! After Zhang Hao's performance started in the second half, not only did not decline due to the consumption of the first half, but also rose against the trend!
To be continued...
