Sometimes a person or a team is unlucky, and drinking water can stuff your teeth.

Phil Jackson felt that he and his Lakers were a very, very unlucky team.

Last season, the team had a 55-win record, and was knocked out in the first round by the Suns in seventh place in the West.

The team is now 46-11 this season, which is now only in fifth place in the West.

He can also be regarded as a veteran coach who has been in the NBA for many years, and such a situation is really unheard of for him!

With a 46-11 record, some people may have no idea what this record represents and what it means.

With a 46-11 record and an 81% win rate, that translates to an 82-game record, that's 66-16!

In the NBA's regular season, teams with a 66-win record may not even qualify for the top four seeds.

If someone says something like this to him before the season starts, he might think the person is crazy.

With 66 wins and 16 losses, this record can be in the top two of the division in any season!

But this season, this record is likely not to even be in the top four in the West.

If the Lakers really have a 66-16 record this season, it will be almost the season of the 99-00 season when the OK combination was at its peak!

This season's Lakers are likely to tie the Lakers in '99-00.

In addition to the record, the strength of the team, in Phil Jackson's view, this season's Lakers are not much worse than the Lakers that season.

The Lakers that season had O'Neal, Kobe, Ron Harper, AC Green, Glen Rice, Robert Horry, Fisher and others.

And this season's Lakers are Kobe, Kidd, Randolph, Bynum, Turkglou, Fisher, Wharton, Vujacic and others.

Except for the Lakers he is coaching now, there is no O'Neal, and the strength of the others is above the Lakers in the 99-00 season!

It can be said that the Lakers in these two seasons are very close in terms of overall strength.

A team that is close to the strength of the 99-00 Lakers can only rank fifth in the division!

Isn't that crazy what is it?

The craziest West in history, the most powerful West in history, the most tragic West in history.

When you come to see this year's West as a spectator, these viewers will find it very interesting.

It's not a big deal to watch the excitement.

But as a participant in the most incredible West in history, Phil Jackson struggled to maintain such an optimistic and interesting mindset.

On the plane from Los Angeles to Seattle, Phil Jackson held the Lakers' schedule and record sheet for this season.

The eyes have been watching the 'miracle' game between the SuperSonics and the Nuggets the day before yesterday.

In this miraculous game, the two teams tied 50 times together, setting a very unbelievable record in the NBA, and it was Yes's mid-range strike that ended the magical 'ladder' game.

The game between the Nuggets and the SuperSonics, he has watched it no less than ten times in the past two days.

This game is a very valuable game for him and the Lakers.

Both teams are direct competitors to the Lakers.

Both teams gave it their all in this game.

These two teams seem to have given everything they have in this game, without any reservations.

In this game, he saw Anthony's fighting spirit, revisiting the horror synergy of Hamilton and Billups.

In this game, he also saw Yes's fairy tale again.

These are the most exciting and gratifying things.

However, as the head coach of the Lakers, he knew that he couldn't just focus on these things.

He wants to beat the SuperSonics in the next game and beat the SuperSonics in the playoffs, and he needs to know more and more.

For example, in this game, he saw the improvement of supersonic players.

Before this season, the SuperSonics, who were known as one of the most rubbish teams in history, are now amazed by the strength of other players except Yes!

He had made a predictive model after the game.

In his prediction model, if the SuperSonics don't have Yes, this game against the Nuggets, they may only lose by about 20 points in the face of the Nuggets who are going all out!

He knows how strong the Nuggets, who have been entangled with the Lakers for most of the season, are.

To be able to face the Nuggets who are going all out and only lose by 20 points, I am afraid that there are not many in the West this season!

Perhaps only the top eight teams in the West can reach that level this season.

For example, now in the West, the Thunder led by Chris Paul will only lose by 20 points in the face of the Nuggets who are going all out, and Phil Jackson is not sure.

According to the team's analysts using the data analysis he gave, the Thunder and Nuggets led by Chris Paul played 100 games with full effort, and the mathematical model showed that the Thunder would win 10 games and lose 90 games, with the most losses being 58 points!

In these 100 games, the Thunder lost by an average of 15 points per game!

Of course, the mathematical model is just a mathematical model, which has reference value, but it cannot be completely counted, after all, the limit of going all out is too great, and few teams can go all out in every game.

Going all out is not something you can have, you need a variety of conditions.

At the same time, there is no team that can go all out and play 100 games.

However, there are many things that can be referred to just for reference.

In his mathematical model, the Seattle SuperSonics without Yes are no longer one of the weakest teams in NBA history, but the eighth team in the West and the eleventh in the entire league!

That said, without Yes, the Seattle SuperSonics are also second only to the Suns, Rockets, Spurs, Lakers, Nuggets, Grizzlies, Celtics, Wizards, Thunder, Pistons under the leadership of Durant, Rondo, Milicic, David Lee, Millsap and others.

Of course, the strength of the supersonic players in his mathematical model is calculated based on the strength of the supersonic players in this game between the superSonics and the Nuggets.

It is still unknown whether the strength of Durant, Rondo, Millsap, Milicic and others can maintain the strength of this game against the Nuggets.

If these young people can maintain such strength and state all the time, then the current supersonic is really no longer the team that can be kneaded casually!

A team with 11th hard power in the league, plus a Yes, this is a team that can definitely compete for the championship!

That is to say, in the current West, the teams that expert media say can compete for the championship are the Suns, Rockets, Lakers, Nuggets and Spurs, according to his mathematical model, it is now necessary to add a supersonic!

It's very difficult to play against a team like that.

Especially when this team is ready to fight hard.

But he and his Lakers are so unlucky!

The Lakers are the last opponent of Yes to complete a seven-game winning streak in the middle distance!

This time, the Lakers were unlucky enough to hit the muzzle of Yes's back-to-back kills.

And what about the last time Yes had a 10-game streak of kills?

The Lakers are still very unlucky to bump into it.

Even this time the Lakers are even more unlucky than the last Lakers.

The last time the Lakers hit a back-to-back Yes, Yes was perfect.

And this time, Yes and Supersonics are really in the red-eye situation, and they are just one game away from completing what they want most!

As a head coach, Phil Jackson certainly wants the team to play more light games in the sprint.

There is nothing wrong with that.

This season's Western Conference has been too miserable in the regular season!

Based on Phil Jackson's experience, he can foresee that in the playoffs, every Western Conference team will have problems because they were too miserable in the regular season.

Everyone is not stupid, the regular season is so fierce, how can the playoffs not come back at the price?

But even if everyone knew, so what?

I can't take it!

I really can't stop it.

The Suns and Rockets will need to compete for that slim home-court advantage and historical positioning.

The SuperSonics, Lakers, Nuggets and Spurs need to compete for that spot in the third place in the West.

The Grizzlies, on the other hand, are going all out for the last glimmer of hope of finishing in the top six, and no one wants to play the Rockets or the Suns in the seventh round.

Maybe now in the whole West, only the Thunder can be left alone.

"It's really hard to compete like this!"

This away game against the SuperSonics may be even more difficult to play than the one against the Suns.

Phil Jackson frowned a little, but when he looked at the rest of the plane, the Lakers' players' faces were excited and anticipated in addition to excitement.

Bryant, Kidd, Randolph, Bynum, Turkglou, Fisher......

There was a lot of anticipation on everyone's face for this game.

Especially Kobe, Phil Jackson knows very well that Kobe Bryant said to him after the last loss to Yes, Yes seems to know everything about him, and Yes seems to be another him.

Since Yes can use this to target him.

Then after he has determined that Yes is the same kind of person as him, he can target Yes based on this!

Yes can be targeted according to his starting feel, loose or tight.

Why can't he?

Kobe Bryant has been looking forward to this game for a long time.

"The official version of the 2K9 supersonic player's rating is not the same as the one leaked before!"

"In the leaked version, Durant's rating is 79, and the official version is actually 87, an increase of 8 points!"

"And the official version of Rondo has also increased its value from 81 to 87, Millsap has increased from 80 to 83, Milicic has increased from 88 to 89, plus David Lee at 81 and Yes at 99, the Seattle SuperSonics actually have six players above 80 in 2K9!"

"Zach, what's 2K? Basketball games I've only heard of NBAlive. ”

On the Los Angeles-to-Seattle plane, Zach Randolph's babbling performance made the other Lakers players on the plane curious.

"2K is another good basketball game that isn't as well-known as nbalives, but that was before and 2k9 seems to look a little different."

Randolph looked at the computer in front of him in surprise, the spokesperson of 2K9 is Yes!

Compared with 2k9 and 2k8, the changes are a bit big, after a little browsing of the player's ratings, he actually counted 25 point guards with a rating of 80 or more, 20 point guards with a rating of 80 or more, 25 small forwards with a rating of 80 or more, 20 power forwards with a rating of 80 or more, and 19 centers with a rating of 80 or more.

There are only about 400 players in the NBA, and 109 players have an average score of 80 or more, and almost one in 4 people has a rating of 80 or more.

That's too inflationary, right?

However, even if there are more than 80 players in an average of 4 people, 15 people in a team, and the average number of players with a team rating of more than 80 is almost 4, and there are 6 superSonics, which is really different from the feeling in everyone's impression.

After the game between the Nuggets and the SuperSonics, many people said that Yes's initial development of other SuperSonics players was completed, and now it seems to be true......

Zach Randolph nodded secretly.

"Zach, how many Lakers are over 80 in the game?"

"Bryant 99, Jason 92, I 90, Andrew 88, Hildo 85, Sasha 80, we have six in total, but we have three of us who are over 90."

The expression on Randolph's face was delighted.

Although the rating of 2k9 is a bit inflated, there are a bunch of more than 80, but there are not so many above 90, 10 point guards, 8 point guards, 5 small forwards, 9 power forwards, 4 centers, a total of 37 people.

"Zach, you say I'm 99?"

Kobe, who was not interested in this, had a surprised look on his face.

If he remembers correctly, a 2k out of 99 is right?

Am I a perfect score this year?

First in the league?

"Bryant is one of seven 99 players this year."

Seven 99 players?

What about Nima!

Kobe, who was still a little interested, was instantly unhappy.

Emotional Lao Tzu is not the first, but tied for seventh!

"Seven 99 players?"

"Yes, Bryant, Nash, Yao Ming, Garnett, Duncan, Arenas"

To be reasonable, not only the Lakers players around him are incredible, but even Randolph himself is incredible.

"Zach, are we the team with the most over 90? Who is the team with the most over 80? ”

"The team with the most over 90 is the Spurs, Duncan 99, Bowen 93, Parker 90, Ginobili 90, a total of four players."

"The teams with the most over 80 are the Rockets, Yao Ming 99, Roy 93, Maddy 93, Artest 88, Gerard Wallace 86, Scola 82, Ariza 80, Aaron Brooks 80, Landry 80, a total of nine, and the Suns have eight players on 80."

After Randolph finished speaking, there was a silence in the originally lively cabin.

And Phil Jackson, who had been listening, had a surprised look on his face.

This game is fun.

Although the numbers are a bit inflated, such inflated numbers seem to reflect the disparity between the teams.

The Lakers, like the SuperSonics, are six teams over 80!

In Seattle, in the living room of Yes's home, looking at the data on the laptop in front of him, Yes's brows were furrowed.

2K officials have accepted his suggestion and re-evaluated his teammates.

His teammates are still underrated.

But...... The overall strength of the supersonic has finally stood in second gear after the rocket and the sun.

The second gear is the last, and that's also the second gear......
