d on it.
Sun Hao’s recovery from injury far exceeded the expectations of the Mavericks team doctor.
Although having an eyebrow opened is not a serious illness in the NBA, there are also many players who play with mild concussions.
But Sun Hao’s resilience is indeed amazing.
However, accidents are accidents, and everyone’s body is different, so this recovery speed is acceptable.
After all, he’s not the kind of guy who gets better right away!
Sun Hao took the time to send the video of the first round match against the Trail Blazers to Fernandez, and then turned around and continued to focus on the series with the Spurs.
Daniels was suspended three games and fined $30,000.
That’s a harsh penalty, especially with the playoffs still underway.
The official reason given by the league is: to maintain a positive image of the league.
This reason is understandable, and Stern attaches great importance to this aspect.
Including the “big dog” Robinson who played against Sun Hao, who has outstanding talent but is not praised by the league, and also includes the 73 epic penalties of Auburn Mountain in the future.
You can see the leopard through the pipe, but it is unknown whether it is because Sun Hao is a Chinese player.
Even if there was, Stern couldn’t possibly say there was.
This penalty triggered strong protests from the Spurs.
“They want to hack us because we are the only team that can compete with Los Angeles, and they need to make Los Angeles a new dynasty team.”
Spurs player Porter even promoted the conspiracy theory in front of reporters.
However, none of this changed the league’s final penalty.
This thing is just like the referee’s call. Once the whistle blows, it will not be changed.
The Mavericks took advantage of their home court to gain the upper hand in the opening game.
But soon, the Spurs slowly lost the momentum of the game.
Popovich is really good at targeting people.
In the first round of the series, he almost dropped Kidd’s shooting percentage below 30%.
Sun Hao’s mid-range is a very missing link in his current skills.
The Spurs’ defensive strategy is to double-team on the outside and not give Sun Hao a three-pointer, and if Duncan helps defend inside and doesn’t give Sun Hao a layup, he will let you go in the mid-range.
Sun Hao’s performance is greatly restricted.
But this is not the most important thing. Sun Hao scores less, but he can still play organization role.
More importantly, Duncan went berserk.
The Mavericks’ inside line is completely unstoppable.
After Uncle Huo switched positions, he was completely unable to hold off the rampaging Shi Buddha.
This game also allowed Sun Hao to see what the real peak Duncan is.
In this campaign, Duncan made 15 of 25 shots and scored 37 points, 22 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 blocks.
With this data, at first glance, he looks like O’Neal!
Under Duncan’s leadership, the Spurs also defeated the Mavericks 100-86, rewriting most of the games into a 1-1 tie.
But no problem.
Tim Duncan was at his peak as a r
