Chapter 567
The Pistons won by a small margin in perimeter shooting.
The Pistons were still stronger in rim protection.
They didn't win by much in any point, but added together, the complete "Pistons Five Tigers" were undoubtedly superior.
【Pacers 75:77 Pistons】.
The score was still low, a super physical battle, but the Pistons were the ones who laughed last tonight, tying the series score.
Immediately following.
Staples Center.
The G2 duel between the Lakers and the Timberwolves also sounded.
The two teams could still fight to the death in the last game.
Tonight... Kobe inside, O'Neal outside, both played a destructive offense, and the Timberwolves couldn't handle it at all.
Especially the "Big Shark" O'Neal.
He performed too well tonight; he and Kobe both scored 29 points, but... O'Neal shot 10 fewer times than him.
The shooting percentage reached a terrifying 70%.
On this basis, he also grabbed 15 rebounds and sent out 5 blocks, crushing the "Wolf King" Garnett in the paint.
Crazy.
Although he had gained a lot of weight, the "Big Shark," when serious in the playoffs, still had the dominance that made the whole league fear him.
21-point difference.
The Lakers slaughtered the Timberwolves, winning another game.
"Hehehe."
Payton snickered after the game, "Isn't such a powerful 'OK' combination the reason I came over last summer?!"
"Hehehe!"
Ma Long leaned over and chuckled together, "What a coincidence, I thought so too; I have already... smelled the scent of the championship."
The two looked at each other, smiled crookedly, and subconsciously high-fived each other.
The intense division semifinals were in full swing.
Likewise.
The "Su Yan I" sneakers launched by Nike for Su Yan were also being produced bit by bit, with the quantity already reaching 4 million.
In just a few months.
This quantity is quite considerable for a newly signed player, and it also highlights Su Yan's popularity and the importance he is given at Nike.
Certainly extremely high.
Completely a living cash cow.
As soon as the "Su Yan I" sneakers are launched, with his popularity as the "strongest vote-getter in history" and the Dragon Country market behind him.
They will definitely be snatched up.
This is an inevitable event.
Nike will definitely make a fortune, but... Su Yan, who has a share, will naturally earn more than a regular contract.
This is why he chose a share over an annual salary at the beginning.
Success on the court.
Success in business.
Then... how could he be unsuccessful in love?
Non-existent.
The relationship between Su Yan and Xida was also constantly improving through video calls.
Both sides were in the rising period of their careers, and the number of meetings was small, but it didn't hinder the warming of their feelings at all; now... only a thin layer of window paper remained to be pierced.
Everything was falling into place.
One day later.
The entire Bulls team arrived in New Jersey, arrived at the Continental Airlines Arena, arrived at the Nets' home court, to challenge them on the road.
Once they won.
It would announce the death sentence for the Nets.
However... the Nets, returning home, obviously wouldn't lose the game so easily; they had made full preparations.
Tonight.
Breaking and then establishing.
"Boom!"
Under the high cheers of the whole arena, the entire Nets team was high in morale, full of fighting spirit, and everyone looked extremely confident.
This was the confidence belonging to two consecutive trips to the Finals.
What was the result?!
Su Yan took whatever he wanted, bombing 39 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists, 6 steals, and 4 blocks, once again cremating the "Nets Big Three" single-handedly.
One of the "Dragon Country Twin Stars."
Yao, who was gradually adapting to the playoffs, also had 20 points, 13 rebounds, and 3 blocks tonight, dominating the paint and making the Nets return empty-handed time and again when attacking the rim.
The two exerted their power together.
Tearing the Nets apart in three quarters, winning by as many as 23 points, making the Nets' home court silent, and making the entire Nets team dejected and hopeless.
The game was spent.
In the final quarter, the Nets only let the substitutes struggle for three minutes, didn't see the score closing in, and decisively surrendered and gave up the game.
3:0.
Meaning the Nets were out early.
Because... in the history of the NBA playoffs, no team had ever reversed the situation after trailing 0:3.
However.
Even so.
Coach Lawrence Frank still gave up the game; one can imagine... just how well the Bulls played tonight.
The game turned into garbage time early.
In the end, the Bulls also slaughtered the Nets by 22 points on their home court, winning G3, series score 3:0, taking the match point.
One slaughter + four match points.
This was a fatal blow to the Nets.
After the game.
Inside the CCTV-5 studio.
Yang Yi sighed: "The 'Dragon Country Twin Stars' exerted their power together, the Bulls took another game, holding 4 match points.
Advancing is only a matter of time.
The Nets, who reached the Finals for two consecutive years, this year... although they became stronger, they couldn't stop the forward pace of the 'Dragon Country Twin Stars'!!!"
