After the game against the Lakers, the Seattle SuperSonics also ended all the games in the first half of the regular season this season.

The SuperSonics played a total of 52 games in the first half of the All-Star break, with a 37-15 record and temporarily ranked sixth in the West.

In three key games played on the same day, the Phoenix Suns lost to the Cavaliers and the Timberwolves lost to the Rockets.

As a result, the Seattle SuperSonics now have the best record of the four, with the Timberwolves and Suns both 36-15 and the Rockets 37-16.

The Rockets have won 15 games in a row after beating the Timberwolves, the most in the league so far, and the longest winning streak in the league this season.

However, after so many consecutive wins, the final ranking is still the ninth place in the West.

I have to say that the strange situation of the Rockets is not only a spectacle this season, but even in the history of the NBA, it is quite an incredible spectacle!

According to many people, such a thing as a fifteen-game winning streak ranking will probably only happen once in the entire history of the NBA.

Of course, although the Rockets' standings are not at all, with the Rockets beating the Timberwolves at home, this has led to the competition for the top eight of the four teams of Seattle SuperSonics, Suns, Timberwolves and Rockets becoming more intense.

The gap between the four teams has become even smaller, before the Timberwolves and Suns were 14 losses, compared to the Rockets' 16 losses, but now, the Timberwolves and the Suns are the same 15 losses as the SuperSonics, and they are only one loss away from the Rockets' 16 losses.

As long as the Rockets find an opportunity, they can take advantage of the situation to get into the top eight.

With the strength of the rocket, after entering the top eight, it is basically difficult to come down.

The Suns, the Timberwolves, the supersonic and the Rockets, the Rockets are, of course, the strongest in terms of current strength.

Now, in order to press the Rockets to ninth, the other three teams are almost in a state of chicken blood.

As long as the Rockets turn over, the other three teams will be lifted.

The strength advantage of the rocket will also appear.

If the Rockets can't turn over, the three teams have been in a state of playing chicken blood, and the Rockets must also follow the chicken blood, and the four teams have been sprinting like this to fight chicken blood, which is very unfavorable for the Rockets, the Rockets are not so deep on the bench this season, Roy's body has hidden dangers, Yao Ming is still a big center, if he can't turn over earlier, although the Rockets are the strongest, they are likely to be dragged down in the end.

This is the competitive situation between the teams in the West in the first half, and it is quite miserable.

Compared with the last few in the west, in fact, the competition in the first few in the west is also quite fierce.

The Lakers, who are first in the West, directly ceded the first place in the West to the Mavericks after losing at home.

It's just that although the Mavericks are now the first in the West, the Mavericks' record is almost the same as that of the Spurs, who are fourth in the West.

Now the top five in the West.

The Mavericks, who are No. 1 in the West, have a 44-8 record.

The Lakers, who are second in the West, have a 44-8 record.

The Nuggets, who are third in the West, have a 40-12 record.

The Spurs, who are fourth in the West, have a 43-8 record.

The Grizzlies, who are fifth in the West, have a 43-9 record.

After the first half of the game, although the first place in the league is the Cavaliers, who are now 45-7, the league from second to sixth are all the top five teams in the West.

The Celtics, who are second in the East, recently came to the West for a spin and lost to the Mavericks and Spurs in succession, which means winning a game against the Thunder or a narrow victory.

In this year's West, in addition to the fierce competition for playoff spots, the competition for the front qualifying spots is also fierce.

It can be said that in the West this season, the outcome of a game can determine the final ranking.

According to many media experts across the country, there has never been such an intense and exciting divisional regular season.

Even last season's seven teams won more than 60 games in the West could not compare to the excitement of this season.

After all, by the time of last season, the Rockets and Suns were already one or a half gears above the other teams, while the SuperSonics and Spurs were also half a gear above the Lakers and Nuggets, and the Nuggets and Lakers seemed to be half a gear above the Grizzlies.

Last season's 70+ teams in the West were indeed legendary, but the intensity of competition was actually not as fierce as this season's.

In the West this season, four teams can compete for first place in the West, and there are also four teams that can compete for eighth place in the West.

The only thing left is that the Denver Nuggets seem to be a little up and down, while looking at the sea.

Eight of the top nine teams in the West are now playing chicken blood, and only the Nuggets are unexpected.

This is the opinion of the outside world, in fact, Ye Si thinks that his supersonic speed is not considered chicken blood now.

His supersonic teammates have been working hard this season, but if it is to be said that it has reached the level of chicken blood, it should not be yet.

After all, Ibaka has always been in the pit, it is actually useless for them to fight chicken blood, and even the effect of chicken blood is not so good, even if they are young, they will burst their blood vessels for most of the season.

Therefore, the state of supersonic players this season has always been that kind of hard work and concentration, but if you want to explode, it really can't explode, and the state of supersonic this season is a long-term stream.

And as Ibaka's quality has improved and the level of tactical coordination between Ibaka and the team has increased, the likes of Milicic, Millsap, Gasol Jr. and Rondo feel at ease.

Perhaps the most tired thing for the team has always been yes, which is the only strongest point of the team.

When Ibaka first entered the league this season, in addition to his physical talent, his basketball skills, whether it was offense, defense or organization, and the basic skills of shooting, were almost the lowest among professional players, and even the level of professional players was not reached.

When I was 15 years old, I was working as a beggar, and I met the European population transfer expert who had time to systematically train basketball.

And in order to sell Ibaka for a good price, this population transfer expert signed him and took Ibaka all over Europe, and there is no stable team at all, the kind that is eager to change three or four teams a year.

It can be said that after Ibaka was drafted by the SuperSonics, he systematically came into contact with professional basketball.

A player who is about to be 20 years old and does not know anything will indeed be regarded as a fool with only physical talent.

Now that most of the season has passed, and most of the year has passed, the older Ibaka is, the more shining points he has, the supersonic up and down feel more and more that this kid is not really a ball quotient with zero, and he is not really a basketball idiot who can't go on the basketball road.

Even now many superSonics players already feel that Ibaka may really be cheated by his former agent.

Of course, it was really saved by yes.

Ibaka's current brilliance is still difficult to show in the game.

Now Ibaka's offensive skills, defensive skills, and shooting skills are probably at the C or C- level.

The skills of this level are on the outside, and that's really just the entry level!

In this way, the NBA's entry-level skills are put on the NBA court, which is almost equivalent to the NBA debut of those ordinary rookies, and Ibaka's current skills and talent are at best those NBA rookies at the end of the first round.

It's nothing that the strength is a rookie at the end of the first round, the key is that his popularity is higher than the average All-Star, and he is the target of all the outside superstars in the league.

Those outside stars are embarrassed to say that they are stars if they can't brush up on Ibaka's body.

In this case, although Ibaka's current strength has improved a lot, from an amateur player to a rookie player at the end of the first round, this kind of strength is still not enough in front of those wolf-like opponents.

So, in the game, Ibaka now feels no different from when he first entered the NBA, and it is still a big hole.

It's only in training that Ibaka's growth and progress will be visible to the supersonic players.

The elder Nelson actually admires Ibaka's talent, but he feels that the best training for Ibaka is to put him in Europe, play a season in the European team, and come back to the NBA next season.

Building a foundation in the NBA could destroy Ibaka's talent and self-confidence.

Old Nelson didn't expect that yes's effect on the rotation of Ibaka by the league's outside superstars was so good, although Ibaka's performance on the court looked miserable, but what Ibaka learned on the court was also incredibly rich.

Of course, the effectiveness of yes's peculiar training method has a lot to do with Ibaka's own tenacity.

People with average personalities, such as James Harden, who is also a rookie, Nelson Sr. feels that James Harden does not have such a tenacious will.

At the beginning of this season, when Nelson Sr. heard that YES was going to develop Ibaka in this strange way, he immediately felt that the goal of the Seattle SuperSonics this season may not even be achievable in the playoffs.

At that time, he also hoped that yes could give up cultivating Ibaka in this way as soon as possible.

But now, he has no such thoughts at all.

Looking at Ibaka's progress, and seeing the current record of the Seattle SuperSonics, to be honest, Nelson Sr. feels that it is difficult for him to refuse such a development for the team.

Nelson Sr. can be sure that as long as the team can make the playoffs, as long as Durant comes back in the playoffs, then after Ibaka is cultivated, the entire SuperSonics will become even stronger.

There is indeed a gap between hard power and the Heat, but he is confident that such a supersonic can have a chance to defeat any opponent!

The key is, can yes really go all the way with Ibaka as he did for most of the past season until he waits for Durant's return!

It's mid-February, more than nine months after Durant's injury, and according to the news from the hospital, Durant will be ready for recovery training right away.

Although it is only a person's recovery training, although such recovery training is still some time away.

But all this indicates that the Seattle SuperSonics are moving towards a very bright future.

And all this bright future is brought by yes with his strong strength!

!

That's the average data for YES in the half of the game!

In the entire history of the NBA, only YES has averaged such stats per game!

At the same time, in the entire history of the NBA, only YES can bring such hope to the Seattle SuperSonics this season!

The half-time game for all teams in the league is over.

Nelson Sr. was pleased with the Seattle SuperSonics' performance in this half.

The Seattle SuperSonics players and the Seattle SuperSonics fans are also very satisfied with the performance of the Seattle SuperSonics in this half.

And after the halfway point, the Seattle SuperSonics officially entered the All-Star schedule.

This year's All-Star, Seattle SuperSonics, has a very high level of player involvement.

Yes, Rondo, and Milicic are All-Star players.

Mark Gasol and James Harden are first-year players in this year's Rookie Challenge.

Barria is in this year's Skills Challenge, Quentin Richardson is in this year's three-point contest, and Ibaka is in this year's slam dunk contest.

In addition, as one of the reform projects of this year's All-Star Game, although the All-Star Rookie Challenge is still divided into first-year and second-year years, the head coach of the All-Star Challenge is no longer the assistant coach of the All-Star Game, but the two players with the highest votes in the All-Star Game, that is, the two captains of the All-Star Game.

Therefore, in addition to participating in the All-Star Game, Ye Si will also serve as the head coach of the first-year team during this year's All-Star Weekend.

In addition to the high ratings of the All-Star Rookie Challenge in these two seasons, the ratings and attention in other years have been very low, and now Yes is no longer able to participate in the All-Star Rookie Challenge, and David Stern is squeezing Yes's residual value.

You players can't see the yes, you can continue to watch the coach yes!

Although David Stern's small reform is indeed a continuation of the rookie challenge, it has to be said that it has also been complained by many people.

The NBA has grown rapidly in recent seasons.

So fast that David Stern said in an interview: "On business management, I can publish a book now."

"Is the book just three words, yes?"

The words of the reporter who interviewed the scene almost stimulated the high blood pressure of the proud David Stern, and Mr. President was really suffocated at that time.

Nima's, do you want to be so faceless?!

Although it is not good to be ridiculed and stimulated, David Stern feels that this reporter's statement is really good.

The book he wrote, the content of the book is really the three words that were written crookedly, yes!

After the game against the Lakers, Yes and the SuperSonics did not return to Seattle, but left for Phoenix, which is not far from Los Angeles.
