On the 27th, Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals begins.

In this game, Mosaic still did not change his tactics and continued to open up his tactics, letting Dameng pull him out in an attempt to consume Wang Tiejun's physical energy.

But Wang Tiejun persevered and led the team to win the crucial G3 game and get the match point in the Western Conference Finals.

After the game, the atmosphere in the visiting team's locker room was depressing.

Due to the limited strength of the lineup, although Dameng was prepared to fail to beat the Suns, the outcome of being swept was something he could not accept calmly.

Even Barkley couldn't accept being swept by the Suns. This was definitely a humiliating ending for a superstar.

Head coach Tomjanovich is under the greatest pressure. He has implemented the established tactics, but now the tactics are facing a complete failure. Once he is swept, the management may fire him.

He actually wanted to test Wang Tiejun's physical limit, and wanted to continue the original tactics in the G4 game, but the pressure was too much. Last season, he eliminated the Suns in the Western Conference Finals, but this season they were swept. Houston alone

The fans will spray him to death.

The Suns led by a big score of 3 to 0 and were about to sweep Mosaic. The Bulls lost to the Magic and did not get the match point, so the next day media like ESPN adjusted the winning chances of the four teams.

The Bulls dropped from 65% to 53%, and the Suns improved to 47%.

This is nothing, but as soon as the winning chances of the other two teams were announced, ESPN's hotline was flooded with calls from fans of these two teams.

The Magic's chance of winning is 10%. Not to mention, there is still a 10% chance of winning, which is somewhat of a consolation.

But Mosaic's chance of winning the championship is actually 0, which makes Houston fans intolerable. It doesn't matter if you give 1%, but give a duck egg. It's too shameful and disrespectful, right?

Dameng was also very angry, but he had no face to stand up and say anything, because he was behind by a score of zero to three. This shows that the current Mosaic team and the current Suns team are two teams of different levels, and they have almost no chance of comeback.

The chances and the morale of the team have dropped to the lowest point, and even he himself has no confidence that he can avoid being swept.

ESPN also gave its own explanation. They believe that in the history of the NBA playoffs, there has never been a comeback from zero to three. Since the Mosaic team cannot comeback, the probability of reaching the finals is

Zero, then of course the chance of winning is also zero, so there is no problem with the chance of winning they gave.

At noon on the 28th, Wang Tiejun invited Buckley and Dameng to come to the martial arts studio for dinner.

After Dameng and Barkley sat down at the table, they found a large bowl of fragrant braised eggs brought to them and specially placed in front of them.

"Come on, come on, have a try, it's specially prepared for you." Lao Wang said enthusiastically.

Dameng and Buckley were so angry that they wanted to hit someone, but they glared at Lao Wang fiercely.

Lao Wang said doubtfully: "Don't you like it? I thought you liked it."

He also said somewhat thankfully: "Fortunately, what ESPN gave you is an egg. If the score was negative, I don't know what to prepare for you."

"Old K, I'm going to kill you!"

Buckley stood up and rushed over, as did Dameng next to him.

"Haha..." Lao Wang burst out laughing.

That night, the Bulls defeated the Magic and won the Eastern Conference Finals with a score of three to one.

On the 29th, the G4 game of the Western Conference Finals begins.

Mosaic: Olajuwon, Barkley, Chucky Brown, Mario Eli, Kenny Smith

Suns: Wang Tiejun, AC Green, Drexler, Dan Marley, Kevin Johnson

"Today Mosaic should fight tooth and nail to avoid the most humiliating defeat." Bill Walton said in the ABC commentary box.

"But it's very difficult. All three positions on the outside will be blown away." John Hanks said.

"I don't know if Dameng will always play outside today. In this series, he has not shown the style of a super center at all." Bill Walton said with some regret.

In the CCTV commentary box, Zhang Lili analyzed: "Tonight the Suns will definitely pursue the victory and strive to complete the sweep. They will not show mercy."

Nodding, Su Qun smiled and said: "We are brothers when we are off the court, and we are opponents when we are on the court."

"Hey, you two old braised eggs, are you ready to be swept away?" In the player tunnel, Lao Wang shouted to Dameng and Barkley who were walking over.

Dameng and Barkley clenched their fists at the same time, feeling itchy.

"Charles, join forces and kill this bastard!"

"Yes, let's join forces."

They couldn't beat each other, so the two of them bit their ears and started muttering.

At half past eight, the game officially started. After the jump ball, there was a mosaic attack.

"See how Dameng plays? Oh, he didn't pull out, he settled in the low post. Mosaic changed his offensive tactics today." Bill Walton shouted in surprise.

"But there is a high probability that it cannot be defeated. If the outside line is suppressed, the inside line will not get enough support." John Hanks immediately poured cold water on it.

"At least it will look better," Bill Walton said with a smile.

On the low left wing, Dameng tentatively moved in, but was blocked by Lao Wang. He suddenly lifted up, attracting the latter to move upwards and laterally, then immediately turned around and quickly cut into the paint area.

Through a quick counter run, he got rid of Wang Tiejun and got a short opening.

At this time, if there is a point guard with top-notch vision and passing ability outside, as long as he sees Dameng's open space and passes in, it will basically be a sure goal.

Unfortunately, the outside line is indeed weaker. Kevin Johnson cut off the connection between Kenny Smith and the low post. This direction is his main defensive direction. Moreover, Kenny Smith did not find the open space of Da Meng in time, and the ball was not passed in time. Da Meng failed to pass the ball in time.

Meng had no choice but to withdraw first and then look for opportunities.

There was no chance here, but Barkley came out. His strength and tonnage were sure to defeat AC Green, and he got the defender in position and started to ask for the ball.

However, he did not dare to go deep, because today Dameng was in the low post, and Old K was also there, and the help defense would be very fast, so he could only get the ball in the low post on the right wing.

This time Kenny Smith passed the ball in. Barkley took the ball and just arched his big butt. After getting a little space to shoot, he immediately turned over and shot a jumper.

The attack rhythm is very fast, in order to avoid Wang Tiejun's weak side defense, this is his intention.

Sure enough, when he took action, Wang Tiejun had already pounced under the basket. If he shot a little later, he would have been double-teamed.

However, as the offensive pace quickened, the hit rate decreased. He didn't intend to shoot the ball himself, but faked the ball and passed it to Dameng.

"not good!"

As soon as Wang Tiejun saw Barkley's shot, he knew something was wrong and turned around quickly, but it was already too late.

Dameng followed Lao Wang into the basket. At this time, his body suddenly rose, he caught Barkley's pass in the air with one hand, and smashed it.

"Bang!"

As the basket roared, America West Arena suddenly fell silent.

"What the hell!"

Lao Wang found that it was better to be lazy. If he didn't help defend this ball, Barkley might not be able to make the shot. Green's defense was still good. Barkley's shooting percentage in the past two points was only just 40%. He was

He has a better position under the basket, and this backcourt rebounding dream will definitely not be able to steal him.

"Lu Dan, I will give you a good treatment today." Dameng said proudly.

Lao Wang touched his crew cut and said with a smile: "I never shave my head, so no one can defeat me. You should enjoy the nickname Lu Dan by yourself."

"snort!"

Being stabbed in the heart with another knife, Da Meng snorted and left.

"Dameng and Barkley are very powerful together. Tie Jun still needs to be careful." Zhang Lili reminded.

"AC Green has a height advantage, but he is not heavy enough and is not very effective in guarding against Barkley," Su Qun analyzed.

At this time, the Suns advanced to the frontcourt, and everyone else pulled away. Lao Wang went straight to the basket, and Da Meng went around.

"Old K."

Kevin Johnson shouted and threw the ball directly towards the basket.

At this moment, Barkley, who was outside the paint area, quickly rushed to the basket, and so did everyone else. All five Mosaic starters rushed to the basket.

"..."

In the ABC commentary box, Bill Walton was stunned.

"Jordan Rules!" John Hanks shouted.

"Be careful!" Zhang Lili warned loudly.

"Ultimate defense?" Su Qun shouted in shock.

"Old K, be careful!"

"Team Mosaic is desperate!"

The two on-site commentators also shouted in shock.

From the moment the ball came in, Dameng immediately changed his defensive strategy.

With a flexible turn, he stuck directly to Wang Tiejun's body. One arm directly crossed his throat and pressed on the opponent's other shoulder. The other hand was pulling the opponent's jersey underneath, and one knee was raised to press against the opponent.

His knees and defensive intensity went up several levels, reaching the intensity of the finals.

"Nima's!"

Lao Wang held his breath and struggled for a moment, which was almost a chokehold. Dameng's defense was too dirty.

"Bang!"

He wasn't easy to deal with either, so he elbowed me from below, causing Dameng to grunt, and he took the opportunity to get some space.

At this time, the ball reached the top of the head, and Barkley and the others were one step away. He quickly jumped up and prepared to get the ball.

But he didn't jump up completely. Dameng's chokehold and shoulder press had a good defensive effect. At this time, Barkley arrived, rushed in from the right wing, took off and intercepted the ball.

Lao Wang glanced at the referee, "Is this still our home court? You don't even use a chokehold? Well, I'm too pretentious. Boxing is a foul, and a chokehold is too childish."
