The NBA All-Star is over, and the superstars are returning to their respective kingdoms from Phoenix, and the popularity of the NBA has not diminished because of the end of the All-Star.

Because after the All-Star is over, the best part of the NBA regular season has just begun!

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

The Seattle SuperSonics are sixth in the West with a 37-15 record.

The Suns and Timberwolves, seventh or eighth in the West, have a 36-15 record.

The Rockets, who have won 15 games in a straight game, have a 37-16 record.

Looking at the ranking of the West, even pseudo-fans who don't know much about the NBA will find it extremely exciting and terrifying!

Ye Si and several of the SuperSonics' players who participated in the All-Star Weekend are back on the team.

As the team's head coach, Nelson Sr. gave the regrouped Seattle SuperSonics a few minutes to see the current Western Conference standings.

The meaning of this is quite obvious, that is, to tell them what the atmosphere is like in the whole west now.

The other teams haven't relaxed for a moment, and you can't relax in the slightest.

Nelson Sr. is actually quite reassuring of these Seattle SuperSonics players.

Don't look at the young players of the Seattle SuperSonics who are really young, but they have a lot of experience in this competition.

Two seasons ago, the Seattle SuperSonics were competing with the Lakers and the Spurs and Nuggets for five, and finally the Seattle SuperSonics lost the fifth place and finally fell to the eighth place.

Last season, the Seattle SuperSonics competed with the Rocket Sun for the first place at the last moment, although it was not so dark, but the overall strength of the supersonic speed was indeed some distance behind the Rocket Sun, so in the end, the first place failed, and it could only be relegated to third.

Plus this season with the Suns, Timberwolves and Rockets for a playoff spot......

It can be said that the supersonic players are not large, and the experience of struggle, especially the experience of losing the struggle, is particularly rich.

Both earth-shattering struggles ultimately failed.

And this time?

The slight difference is that this time there is no competition for a specific position, but four for three to fight for a place.

Nelson Sr. is hoping that this time the team can have a successful result.

Although in terms of strength, this time four teams compete for three spots, the Rockets are the strongest, the Timberwolves and Suns second, and Ibaka replaces Durant for the SuperSonics last.

Of course, he didn't mean to blame Ibaka, Ibaka's strength has now risen from the initial E rank to almost the C rank.

It's only been half a season, and it's progressing so fast.

Regardless of the final result, Ibaka really did his best.

But although Ibaka is not to blame, and no one is to blame, but looking at it this way, this time the competition for three places in the four ties, the Seattle SuperSonics seems to be really quite dangerous?

The old Nelson, who already has a very strong sense of crisis, wants to make supersonic more crisis-conscious.

But what makes Nelson a little helpless is that the players on the team really seem to have a sense of crisis.

But the players are not the same at all in terms of performance.

"Rajan is very jumping after coming back from the Celebrity Weekend."

"It's really a little arrogant, and there is no one in sight."

、

"Floated, floated, Rajan floated again."

"Do you want to find an opportunity to pull Rajan down from heaven? I'm really afraid that he will be too thin, and he will be blown by the wind and don't know where to go, and finally fall into the sea and drown, it will be miserable. ”

Lanima!

Drown Nima!

The second master has a Nima relationship with you little Lala!

"Alas, I was very disappointed and comforted Jean before the All-Star Weekend, but I didn't expect that in the end, I used a little too much force and made Jean float."

Whole Nima!

The second master is floating and has a hairy relationship with you PJ Tucker!

The second master is different from you guys, but the second master is an existence that Yes doesn't even want to pay attention to the MVP trophy!

And, PJ Tucker, you're embarrassed to comfort me?

"Rajan, don't be too sad, Yes doesn't really choose you because there is really any misunderstanding of you, we and Yes are very clear that you can make a greater contribution in the Yao team than by Yes's side."

What does it mean to be able to make a greater contribution to Yes in Team Yao?

You TM are not comforting the second master, this is implying that the second master is as undercover as LeBron James!

The second master is not that kind of person!

After the selection of All-Star players before, Rondo, who had been hit a little depressed, is really quite stubborn now after returning to the team.

Keep your head up and your chest up, and walk with a windy look.

During shooting drills, the iron is louder than ever.

The old Nelson certainly knows why, and that casual glimpse of the All-Star Yes is also big news.

Kobe O'Neal and James are all eyeing the MVP.

Only Yes is keeping an eye on Rondo.

Even if he is an old man, he knows from his assistant Malekroth that KD and Rajan have a higher status in Yes's heart all the time.

Rajan was the first to make Yes have the strange fetish of having long hands and long feet and hard bones.

And KD is the pinnacle of long hands and feet and hard bones.

Looking at Rajan's proud posture now, think about this topic that is now being discussed on the Internet.

Old Nelson also smiled and shook his head.

"First love and the first beauty in your mind, who will you choose?"

Judging by Rajan's current posture, he seems to think that he has won?

On Tuesday, February 17, 2009, two days after All-Star Weekend, Yace returned to Phoenix.

I have to say that this schedule of the Seattle SuperSonics is really weird.

I'm afraid it's rare in the history of the NBA that immediately after the All-Star is over, they will challenge the team in the city where the All-Star is located.

The US Airways arena in Phoenix.

When Ye Si stepped into the arena where he had just lifted the MVP trophy after two days, the entire arena was still filled with incredible cheers.

“Yes！”

“Yes！”

“Yes！”

The cheers were so neat that they didn't even think they were leaving Seattle for Yaes and the SuperSonics.

Leaving Seattle is actually just an illusion, the plane spun around in the air and actually landed in Seattle again, this place that looks like the US Airways Arena, the home of the Suns, is actually the Key Arena, and the reason why the Key Arena looks like the US Airways Arena tonight is because the Key Arena added stunts tonight?

Of course, these are all jokes.

This is indeed Phoenix, and this is indeed the US Airways Arena.

"Yes used to get cheers when they came here, but it wasn't as exaggerated as tonight."

"Suns fans were one of the happiest fans after hearing about the All-Star team, the Yao team was beaten to 58 points, Nash didn't play a minute, and Yes helped them beat up all the people who bullied Nash on their home court."

"No wonder, I used to remember the cheers and silence here being half and half yes, but tonight even the Suns' home fans gave Yes the highest respect."

Half and half are also very powerful!

Listening to the exchanges between the supersonic veterans around him, the new superSonics players such as Marc Gasol and Ingles Ibaka Harden are also quite shaken.

It's very, very incredible that an away player can get half of the home team and the home fans come to greet them like heroes.

And listening to the tone of these supersonic veteran players, this seems to be very commonplace, and it seems that Yes can get such treatment wherever he goes.

But......

After being a little shocked, Marc Gasol and others really felt that these old supersonic players were not bragging, and they were really so popular in the team's half season.

"It looks like Suns fans are still soaking up the atmosphere of the All-Star Game two days ago."

Former Suns legend Barkley in the stands said with a smile.

Isn't this nonsense!

Kenny Smith complained inwardly.

It's only been two days, how could you forget it so quickly!

NBA fans are forgetful, but not so forgetful!

My James, my James's MVP!

Kenny Smith hasn't been out of the mood of the All-Star Game two days ago either.

It's just a little bit!

As long as Yes fans listen to Yes, the MVP is James!

Nima's not fifteen is second!

"While I don't want to interrupt the Suns fans who are now immersed in the atmosphere of the All-Star past, I still want to remind these Suns fans that their game with the SuperSonics is very, very important."

"In an earlier game today, the Timberwolves took on the Washington Wizards on the road, and the Timberwolves have won."

"And in this game between the Rockets and the Mavericks, the scores of the two sides are very close, the Rockets are at home, and the chances of winning seem to be greater."

"If the Rockets win in the end, then tonight, the team that lost this game will fall to ninth place in the West."

"There is no competition for the top three places in the top four in the West yet, but whoever comes up is in a backward position, which is very disadvantageous."

Kenny Smith's voice was a little gloomy.

"Kenny, I've found you to be particularly good at spreading negative energy!"

“……”

The negative energy transmitted by Kenny Smith is certainly unlikely to affect this game between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Suns.

The Suns players and the Seattle SuperSonics have a good relationship.

The relationship between the Suns fans and many coconut fans at the scene is also very close, and many of them are even family.

Therefore, the Suns and the SuperSonics are one of the few teams in the league that have a very close relationship, even if the two teams have met in the playoffs in the last two seasons, they should have been rivals, but in the end, they were stunned.

Before the start of this game, the Suns seemed to have forgotten the importance of winning and losing this game for both sides.

The fans are thanking Yes, and the players are thanking Yes when they come out.

"Yes, you did what we all wanted to do on All-Star!"

What the whole Suns want to do?

I have to say that Nash, as the second point guard in history and now recognized as the first point guard in the league, is fighting at home this time as an All-Star, but he has been treated like that on the All-Star, which really makes the entire Phoenix extremely angry.

There is such a big gap between Nash's historical status and his status in the league, mainly because of Nash's stature.

Not burly enough, if Nash had a Westbrook build......

Therefore, many players in the league still look at Nash with colored glasses.

However, the reason why those All-Stars of Team Yao did so well on All-Stars was in addition to the tinted glasses on Nash.

It's also true that Nash has a tough time playing against him every time.

Tonight's match between the Suns and the SuperSonics was a chord of harmony before the game.

And after the game started, Kenny Smith and Barkley quickly saw that the content of the game was completely different from the atmosphere before the game!

"It's a playoff intensity game!"

The intensity of this game between the sun and the supersonic speed is very large.

This season, many teams have focused on the huge difficulties the Rockets are facing, going from being the all-time No. 1 team to being the ninth team in the West.

The Suns' difficulties this season have been overlooked by many.

If the difficulty of the Rockets is that this team has too many injuries and too many players leaving, these difficulties are actually not difficulties, Maddie is back, the bench is filled, and the Rockets will be the league's first-class team again, of course, the premise is that the Rockets can't continue to lose blood, if Yao Ming and Roy are gone, it's really all over.

And what about the sun?

The Suns' difficulties this season, that's really systemic difficulties!

It's not a problem with one player, it's a problem with the whole system!

In the season when the Suns won the championship, they relied on walking on two legs, one leg was running and the other leg was a dumping tactical system.

But there were some problems with both legs.

The first run, the speed of the league is really getting faster and faster, and the speed advantage of the Suns has been greatly weakened.

And what about the dumping tactical system?

As other teams in the league become more and more familiar with this system, Nash will only pass the ball at the first level, Yes is the kind of dangerous to the extreme, but can give full play to the player's ultimate talent to pass the ball, Nash can't pass, so there is no way to fully play the talent of Stoudemire and Marion, on the one hand, the growth of the opponent, on the other hand, his own stagnation, which directly leads to the Suns' dumping tactical system has also encountered problems.

For these two problems that the team encountered.

D'Antoni is clear.

However, he really had no choice.

He knew that Nash was working hard.

It's very, very incredible that Nash can learn Yes, the childlike passing surface that belongs to the realm of gods.

He really couldn't have asked Nash to do better.

But......

The difficulties that the Suns have encountered this season seem to have completely exploded in this game against the SuperSonics.

The speed of the Sun's running and bombardment can't even drag down supersound.

The Suns' throwing system, Stoudemire was difficult to receive Nash's passes under the all-weather care of Milicic and Marc Gasol, and Nash's passes to Smalls were a lot of mistakes.

And the connection between Marion and Nash, although not as miserable as Xiao Si, but on the other hand, Marion was recognized by Ibaka, the league's No. 1 defense, and there was no way to take the blame, which was actually even worse.

124 to 110!

Looking at the huge point difference on the field, D'Antoni sighed in his heart.

This year's All-Star Yes used the dumping system and the triangle offense to kill all sides.

He knew very well that the dumping system he had been relying on before was actually not backward.

He also had the same problem as Phil Jackson.

Phil Jackson's triangle offense was constantly going wrong in front of Bowen.

That's not because something went wrong with the triangle offense.

The real problem is who executes the triangular offensive.

When the person performing the triangle offense is changed from Kobe Bryant to Yes, what kind of earth-shattering power will it be?

The whole world has seen this.

So what if the Suns switch players from Nash to Yes?

What would that look like?

Of course, this is just a hypothesis.

And he also said before that Nash has been working very hard to break through himself.

But......

"Counterfeits are fakes after all......"

D'Antoni sighed inwardly.

With a comfortable away win over the Suns, who are seventh in the West, the win was a good start to the second half of the Seattle SuperSonics.

In fact, although the victory of this game is very important for Yes and Nelson Sr., what is more important than the victory of this game is that Ibaka actually defended Marion in the throwing system!

The duel of the dumping system is the duel of talent.

Ibaka's talent is a peerless cauldron, while Marion is a thousand cauldron, and the two are one level apart!

Yes has always been pleased with Ibaka's flaunting talent.

Beating the Suns, the SuperSonics held on to sixth place in the West.

The Suns lost, but the Suns didn't drop out of the top eight in the West.

Because, the Rockets, who won fifteen in a row, lost and were killed by Afraro at home......
