Chapter 561: Durant who doubts his life
In this game between the SuperSonics and the Celtics, the Celtic fans and Celtic players at the scene were very satisfied.
Got what they wanted in a tight game.
As for Yes, he was equally satisfied with the game.
It doesn't feel good to lose.
However, the current Seattle SuperSonics are indeed no match for the Celtics.
Even if he restricts Ray Allen to death, he will not be able to make up for the current gap in the overall strength of the superSonics and the Celtics.
The reason why the Celtics are more able to play the overall advantage of the team in the face of the supersonic than other strong teams such as the Rockets and Suns is because of Ray Allen.
Don't look at Ray Allen, almost every game is made very uncomfortable by him.
But Ray Allen is still one of the most important members of the Celtic Big Three, perhaps even more so than Pierce.
Ray Allen's strength seems to be inferior to Yes in all aspects.
But there is no doubt that Ray Allen's off-ball movement and his shooting skills are definitely second only to Hyes in the NBA now.
Throughout the supersonic speed, the only player who can defend Ray Allen is Yes.
Rondo is too short, Durant is too easily distracted without the ball, Tucker is too slow, and Wilkins and Quentin Richardson are not good enough defensively.
Throughout the superSonic, the only player who can defend against Ray Allen is Yes.
Not to mention defense, the only players who can limit Ray Allen are Yes.
If Yes doesn't defend Ray Allen, then wait to be killed by Ray Allen's outburst.
In this season's All-Star Game, Ray Allen scored 28 points in 18 minutes!
This is the power of Ray Allen when he is full of power, in the All-Star game, the Western All-Stars did not try their best, and no one could play against Ray Allen, so Ray Allen played such a performance.
This is a sign that you can definitely kill!
In the Celtics, the strongest single is Pierce, the biggest role is Garnett, and the biggest killer is Ray Allen!
The Celtics' defense is so strong now, if they still let Ray Allen play with lethality, then the supersonic can only collapse.
Therefore, when the supersonic faced the Celtics, Yes could only appear by Ray Allen's side no matter what.
Ray Allen must not be given any chance.
Supersonic cannot afford the result of the Ray Allen explosion.
Ray Allen broke out, and the supersonic will definitely lose.
In this case, Yes must be inseparable from Ray Allen.
And Ray Allen's attacking style made Yes very uncomfortable.
Ray Allen is not Kobe, not Pierce, he will not be fixed in a certain area, Ray Allen will run, keep running.
This leads to Ye Si also having to keep running with him, and in the constant running, how can Ye Si help his teammates defend?
What's more, when chasing Ray Allen, you have to be distracted to help defend, is this a shooting opportunity for Ray Allen for nothing?
Yes is well aware that his biggest role on the defensive end is not as a single point of defense, but as a point of assistance.
His experience, his physicality, his defensive awareness, he can help his team-mates the most.
Even if it can't be used as a defense point, if Yes is in a single defense against a single player like Kobe, he can also be distracted to help defend, and the single association is combined, after all, Kobe Bryant is standing there, and he just runs back after the defense, anyway, his speed is fast, and the maximum double speed can reach 96.
But when facing Ray Allen, he helped defend a little, and I am afraid that Ray Allen's people are gone.
By Ray Allen's side, he could only focus all his attention on Ray Allen.
It's a waste of his strength on the defensive end.
And it's not just a little bit or two that are wasted.
This is on the defensive end.
On the offensive end, Ray Allen is also not so easy to deal with.
Ray Allen's defensive completion rate was outstanding.
His defense is really not as strong as Kobe and them.
But he can always be in front of you.
The appearance of Ray Allen is completely different from the appearance of Bowen O'Neal.
Ray Allen's defensive completion rate, combined with his own good defensive ability, has made him one of the most reluctant defensive players in the entire league.
Maybe second only to James and on par with Kobe.
But James has O'Neal by his side, and Ray Allen is not O'Neal, it's Garnett!
It may be strange to say, but Ray Allen may be the five planet star with the greatest advantage in the alliance.
But in the same way, Ray Allen is also the five planets that Ye Si is most reluctant to encounter.
It's really not worth it to play against Ray Allen!
With no helper to help defend Ray Allen, all of Yes's strength is locked up by Ray Allen, and there is no way to overflow to his teammates.
All Seattle SuperSonics who want to beat the Boston Celtics will have to rely on the performance of their teammates against the Celtics.
As long as he gets an advantage from Ray Allen that is greater than what the rest of the Celtics players get from other SuperSonics, he can win with SuperSonics.
However, it is clear that judging from the two games this season, his advantage against Ray Allen cannot make up for the disadvantage of other SuperSonics players against the rest of the Celtics.
So both games were lost by the SuperSonics in the end.
Fortunately, although this game was lost, it was not so ugly.
The progress of his teammates can be said to be visible to the naked eye.
Whether it was Rondo, who shot zero from eight shots in the last meeting between the two teams, or Milicic, who was played by Garnett and Perkins, this game had a good performance.
And Durant, who shot 12 of 36 shots in the last game and played 24 times crazily, the data of this game has also become 10 of 26 shots, and the amount of iron is much less.
What's more, Durant in this game is no longer an ordinary big battery, but an all-round scorer who can attack with the ball and attack in an all-round way.
It's just that whether it's Durant who is an all-round scorer or Durant who is in the battery, it's not very easy to play when he meets Tony Allen.
Tony Allen's defense is too aggressive.
And unlike ordinary defensive players, although Tony Allen's defensive aggression is strong, his movements are very clean and rarely fouled.
It's uncomfortable.
Durant even almost got into a fight with Tony Allen in this game.
Durant was really rushed by Tony Allen in this game.
It's just that no matter how anxious Durant is, his strength is that there is no way to defeat Tony Allen.
In this case, Durant had no place to vent his emotions at all, and naturally almost got entangled with Tony Allen on the court in the end.
Durant's mood in this game was very wrong.
Ye Si could feel this, and the sense of anxiety was very strong.
Yes is also very familiar with this sense of restlessness.
This is the sense of anxiety when the strength reaches the limit.
Yees had felt this way before.
After his potential was exhausted, the initial period was as difficult as Durant's.
It's just that he is different from Durant.
His potential at that time was really exhausted.
As for Durant, it's not that he has run out of potential, but that he has improved too fast in a short period of time, and there is no time to polish, and there is no way to go further.
In terms of Yes's sensitivity to player attributes.
Now Durant's scoring attributes have indeed reached a bottleneck.
Three-point shot, mid-range shot, close shot, long shot, layup...... With these offensive attributes, Durant may now be at the top of the 80s.
What Durant needs now is to seriously polish his every offensive skill and polish his already first-class offensive skills to the top.
Yes has been rituring Durant this season, but there are some things that cannot be matured by Yes.
For example, in this regard, if Durant didn't get himself through, no matter how much ball possession and shooting opportunities he gave Durant on the court, it would be useless.
Of course, the premise for Durant to get these things through is naturally the need for these shots and ball possession that he gives.
With his maturation, Durant is now basically the equivalent of a young player who has played two seasons.
A player's first two years are considered to be rookie years, and Durant in this game completely announced that his rookie period is over.
Now he's on the verge of reaching maturity as a rookie.
Knock open this door, and Durant can become a top player and take off.
In the NBA, a lot of expert media say that young players need to watch for three years, and that's why.
The player who can take off in the third year is the player with superstar potential!
Otherwise, an all-star at best.
YES doesn't know if Durant will be able to take off in his third year if he doesn't meet him.
Judging from Durant's five-star potential, Durant will definitely be able to take off in the third year, and as for how high he can take off, I don't know.
In other words, if Durant plays three years of games step by step, he will easily knock this door open.
However, because of his reasons, Durant only took one season to complete the road of two seasons, and Durant, who had no precipitation and no grinding, encountered obstacles when he was about to crash through this door.
Durant really wants to keep improving right now, he wants to improve so much right now!
This game against the Celtics made it clear to him that if he couldn't improve, he and Yes couldn't beat the Celtics!
If you can't beat the Celtics, you can't win the championship!
He didn't want to disappoint Yes!
Yes is said, I hope to lift the championship trophy with him!
He knows very well what an ordinary player he is.
He was afraid of his ordinary.
He was afraid that one day he would not be able to improve.
When the day comes when he can't improve, it's a nightmare for him!
If he can't bring a championship to Yes, he doesn't qualify to be Pippen by Yes's side, and even if Yes is willing to take him in, he will choose to leave Yes.
A lot of people are watching the joke and hoping that he, along with the likes of Millsap and Rondo, will limit Yes's future.
Of course, he had such worries.
The reason why he didn't care about it all the time was because he was always improving, and he knew that he didn't deserve to compete for the championship with Yes right now, but as long as he could keep improving, he would one day be the teammate with Yes to win the championship with him.
This is also the reason why he is still in a normal state of mind in the face of so much pressure from public opinion.
But now......
He really didn't expect him to come to the bottleneck period where his strength could not improve so soon.
Anger, restlessness, restlessness, pain......
Now Durant feels like the negative emotions in his heart are simply exploding.
There will always be a day when people reach their limits.
But he doesn't want to reach the limit now!
He also wants to improve!
But......
Just as Durant covered his head with a towel and his angry eyes were red, a familiar and gentle figure rang in his ears.
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself, you're walking too fast now, and your accumulated stamina has been exhausted, so you might as well stop and look at some of the other scenery you missed along the way, and when you pick up the other missing scenery, your stamina will be full again."
"When the time comes, you can see a different world again."
Yes?
Taking the towel on his head and looking at the familiar figure with a gentle smile on his face, Durant clenched his fists fiercely after being stunned for a moment.
Exhausted of potential, does he still deserve Yes's trust?
Or is it ......
Stop to see the scenery you missed, and then step out again after accumulating the foundation......
Don't?!
The pain on Durant's face has now been replaced by astonishment.
"Now you might as well polish your defensive and organisational skills and let the rest take its course."
Looking at the still sunny smile, the expression on Durant's face changed from stunned to moved.
Yes, I still believe I still have potential!
Yes still believes that I can continue to grow with him!
Yes still believes that I can be Pippen next to his championship trophy!
Yes didn't know what was going on in Durant's mind, whose face was constantly changing.
To him, Durant is a treasure boy.
Such a treasure boy, how could his treasure be exhausted now?
What's more, he was the only person in the whole world who had experienced the enormity of the treasure contained in this boy.
Cut!
Rondo, who has been on Leaves and Durant, has a look of disdain.
This demon-glamorous-goods has done everything to attract Yes!
With a loss to the Celtics in Boston, the Seattle SuperSonics ended their 13-game winning streak.
The Celtics are the last opponent of the SuperSonics on this back-to-back road trip to the East.
After the loss to the Celtics, Yees also returned to the West with the team.
On March 14, 2008, after the Seattle SuperSonics returned to the West, their first game was to challenge the Nuggets, who are now sixth in the West.
146 to 168!
There was no overtime in this game, and both teams scored a total of 314 points in a normal 48 minutes!
The Nuggets' form in this game is just too good.
So good that Yes, with Billups and Hamilton to help, couldn't control the game.
After losing to the Nuggets, the Nuggets, who suffered two straight defeats on the road SuperSonics, now have a 57-10 record.
After the game between the SuperSonics and the Nuggets, the battle for the Western Conference playoff position, which had become fierce, became even more intense!
Now that the SuperSonics are two wins away from the Nuggets, Spurs, and Lakers, it looks a little precarious.
It wasn't until March 16 that the SuperSonics returned home to defeat the Timberwolves 114-106 to stabilize the losing streak.
