Chapter 725: Who Can Withstand This?!
"After the Seattle SuperSonics won the championship last season, did any of you think that the Seattle SuperSonics would have to compete with the Minnesota Timberwolves for a playoff spot this season?"
"Yes's Seattle SuperSonics need to compete with the Minnesota Timberwolves for a playoff spot, and that's a magical thing, but it's happening right now!"
This game between the Timberwolves and the SuperSonics, as the head coach of the Timberwolves, Randy Whitman himself did not think that it would give such a meaning.
and defending champion Seattle SuperSonics for a playoff spot.
This one looks like a joke.
But this is true, the Timberwolves, Trail Blazers, SuperSonics, three teams are considered by the national media to be the third most advantageous contenders in the West.
So this game against the SuperSonics is a game of two games.
With Yes's strength and the current level of other Seattle SuperSonics players, if Yes hadn't indulged in the sadness of missing Durant and desperately treated Ibaka as Durant, the Timberwolves wouldn't have had any chance.
Not only did the Timberwolves have no chance, but the Trail Blazers didn't have any chance to compete with the Seattle SuperSonics for the eighth spot in the West.
Even, the Seattle SuperSonics cannot be eighth in the West, but should be in the top five in the West!
But it can't be helped, the whole world knows that Yes is a very, very stubborn player.
And the world also knows that Yes has supreme status and authority in the Seattle SuperSonics.
As long as he decides something, no one else in this world can change.
So, after the start of the first game of the season, Seattle fans and coconut fans began to laugh at themselves, and they were ready to enter the playoffs in eighth place in the West.
"This year's Mavericks are very strong, and it looks like the Mavericks are going to be first in the West again, and if we are eighth in the West, maybe something wonderful will happen in the playoffs, hahahaha."
"Seattle brothers, we Dallas are too green, let's give up the first place in the West to San Antonio next door, we just want to make the playoffs again, first in the West, I really don't have that kind of idea."
It's self-deprecation from supersonic fans and Mavericks fans online.
From this, it can be seen how big the scars caused by the supersonic sweep of the Black Eight last season to Mavericks fans.
Even now, Mavericks fans are submissive when they hear the SuperSonics and hear Yes, and there is no such thing as the Mavericks' current NBA heavy-handed posture.
At this point, Spurs fans are much more confident.
"This season's No. 1 Spurs in the West are seated, if you have the ability, you can come to Black Eight!"
"Yes, how many times in a row have you not hit five percent in front of Bruce? The great blues are waiting for you in the Holy City to eat duck eggs! ”
Because the Seattle SuperSonics' record this season is likely to be eighth in the West, the whole league is now complaining about who will play the SuperSonics in the first round.
Compared with the fear of Mavericks fans, it is obvious that Spurs fans and Bowen fans are much more domineering.
With Yes's current status in the league, the only people who dare to shout in front of Yes like this, and the crazy coconut fans on the Internet who dare not talk back, are probably only Spurs and Bowen fans.
As the best defensive player in history, Bowen is the only player in the entire league who can defend Yes alone.
And Bowen fans and Spurs fans are also the only fan groups that can shout in front of coconut fans.
Judging from the complaints of fans of various teams on the Internet, even if the Seattle SuperSonics may not be able to enter this year's playoffs, most team fans still expect the Seattle SuperSonics to enter the playoffs.
After all, although the fans of these teams are not as domineering as the Spurs fans, who doesn't want to sacrifice the flag of the strongest player in history!
Especially recently, some insider information about Durant came that although his surgery was very successful, it took longer to fully recover, and it is likely that in the first round of the playoffs, Durant will not be able to catch up.
The SuperSonics are nothing without Durant, and even without Durant, hasn't Yes led the SuperSonics to the Western Conference Finals?
The point is that the Seattle SuperSonics don't have Durant, but they do have Ibaka!
It's a different story entirely.
Fans of other powerhouses in the NBA expect the SuperSonics to be eighth in the West, but that will require asking him and his Timberwolves if they agree!
Look at the Seattle SuperSonics No. 28 Ibaka on the court.
The expression on Randy Whitman's face was one of a smile.
His tactical system with Yi Jianlian as the core in the Timberwolves, what he is best at is to hit a certain defensive black hole of the opponent!
His tactical system in the Timberwolves is the tactical system of the virtual core, Yi Jianlian is the core, but Yi Jianlian, as the core, is an assistant when he cooperates with Jefferson, and Yi Jianlian uses his offensive comprehensiveness to assist Al Jefferson offense, liberating Jefferson's offensive ability to the greatest extent.
Yi Jianlian and Guy, with Mayo, and Randy Ferye are the same when they cooperate, helping Guy and Mayo or Randy Ferye to liberate themselves to the greatest extent.
Other teams know that Ibaka is a loophole, but if they want to catch Ibaka's loophole, they need to worry about other superSonics players to help, but the Timberwolves don't have such concerns.
Under the Timberwolves' tactical system, the Seattle SuperSonics have no one to help!
Yi Jianlian, who does not have any offensive shortcomings, will attract all those who want to help to his side.
In the preseason, he tried it when he faced the supersonic speed, and the effect was simply outstanding!
Guy is about to knock Ibaka out of the psychological shadows!
So, didn't you see that after the game started, Guy was so excited?
On the pitch, Guy was really excited today.
In the Timberwolves' virtual core system, when Yi Jianlian assists him, he holds the ball and plays a blocking and dismantling system with Yi Jianlian.
In fact, he doesn't need to play blocking and dismantling with Yi Jianlian, and he can eat Ibaka one-on-one.
As long as he sits in the low position, he can crush Ibaka in 10,000 ways.
But sitting in the low post, he entered the supersonic defense of two strong interior lines.
And if he singles Ibaka on the outside, he needs to consider the offensive shooting percentage on the outside.
With Yi Jianlian's cooperation, this is completely different, Yi Jianlian can protect him and help him contain the supersonic inner line, so that he can play with Ibaka with all kinds of angles and various means with peace of mind.
Guy has been very good on the offensive end of the pitch in the past two seasons, and his offensive skills have continued to improve.
Now Guy, in Yes's eyes, is more and more capable of attacking the kaleidoscope.
After bullying Ibaka twice in a row, this time Millsap chose to switch positions with Ibaka.
Ibaka was bullied by Guy so badly!
Millsap really couldn't stand it.
It's just that......
Millsap, who was just about to protect Ibaka, saw Guy pass the ball back to Yi Jianlian, and saw Yi Jianlian's realistic feint to shake Ibaka up, and then directly hit the basket to meet Milicic's help defense from the side and dunk the basketball into the basket!
"It's too fast!"
Looking at Yi Jianlian, who was hanging on the basket with extremely firm eyes, Milicic's face was ugly.
His co-defense just now is actually an intimidating co-defense, the effect is ineffective, if the offensive player has a soft personality, he may be scared, but ...... He is Yi Jianlian, the brave man who rode Anthony in the Olympics!
Ibaka was defeated by Yi Jianlian too easily!
Of course, this is also related to the fact that Yi Jianlian's offensive feints just now are too realistic.
As the core interior of the Seattle SuperSonics, an important part of Milicic's usual work is to understand and study the league's well-known interior lines.
Yi Jianlian is a well-known insider he needs to understand.
Yi Jianlian's offensive ability is absolutely first-class in the league's interior line, and his skills are comprehensive, which was before, and now he has both courage and perseverance.
Such a player Ibaka can't stand up to normal.
Milicic didn't wash the floor for Ibaka, and he didn't have the slightest intention of washing the floor for Ibaka now.
He is even complaining in his heart now, Guy, you can't stand it, you can't stand Yi Jianlian, who can you stand it?
To defend Mayo and Randy Foye?
Nelson Sr. is well aware of Ibaka's current defensive holes.
For Ibaka, he is very helpless, the talent is really strong, but this basketball experience is really blank!
Maybe the SuperSonics didn't go wrong with the 28th pick to select Ibaka, but the mistake was that he and the team should have let Ibaka study in the West for a year!
The biggest difference between European basketball and American basketball is that it can better teach a blank sheet player's basketball philosophy and experience, which can make a player who looks like an idiot smart.
It's just that Ibaka has no chance to stay in Europe, because of the injury of the team's starting small forward Durant, the team needs a small forward, even if Ibaka's flaws are obvious, the team needs to scratch this lottery ticket.
Now it's not the final result, but it's ...... Looks like the brush has failed......
If the team's record does fall out of the playoffs one day, then even if Yes still supports Ibaka as a starter, he will ......
Old Nelson didn't continue to think about it, but his fists were already clenched together.
As long as the Seattle SuperSonics lose to the Timberwolves in this game, then the team will fall out of the top eight, and he needs to act!
Ibaka can't stop Yi Jianlian, and he can't stop Guy.
When the SuperSonics put Ibaka in front of Mayo and Randy Ferye, it also proved that Ibaka could not prevent Mayo and Randy Ferye.
Yi Jianlian assists Mayo in the same way as he assists Guy.
Because both Mayo and Guy's singles are quite good.
But the cooperation between Yi Jianlian and Randy Ferye is not Yi Jianlian's assistance to Randy Ferye's singles.
Yi Jianlian is an assistant to Randy Foye to organize the whole team.
Randy Foye doesn't take on the main offense, so it looks like the damage to Ibaka is minimal.
But in fact, the opposite is true.
Randy Ferye does not undertake the team's main offensive tasks, but Randy Ferye's speed is fast, and with the help of Yi Jianlian, he got rid of Ibaka, and the Timberwolves are the real five to four!
Ibaka doesn't have the ability to defend the point guard and get involved in the team's defensive system again after being kicked off by the point guard.
In the end, the Seattle SuperSonics traded Ibaka for the Timberwolves for a lap, and finally had no choice but to put Ibaka in front of Mayo again.
No, you can't prevent any of them, and you can't defend any of them in a crazy way, since they're all injuries, let's find a relatively less painful one to hurt.
"The Timberwolves' tactical system is fantastic!"
After the Seattle SuperSonics and Timberwolves game began, the world saw how badly Ibaka was bullied by the Timberwolves.
This is not Ibaka's first game, Ibaka have played five games before.
The superSonics' opponents in these five games are equally aware of Ibaka's holehole.
But no other team has caught it as hard as the Timberwolves!
With the superSonics playing the previous five opponents, Ibaka can find opportunities to defend against the opponent's attacking weaknesses.
But against the Timberwolves, the Timberwolves can find Ibaka in almost every offensive round!
Ibaka couldn't hide, he had nothing to hide, and in the end he could only lie down in front of Mayo and wait for death!
"The Timberwolves' core tactical system can mobilize the maximum energy of each player on the offensive end."
"Yi Jianlian is too comprehensive on the offensive end!"
"Of course, the other Timberwolves players are also quite good offensively!"
"The Timberwolves' fuzzy core play perfectly solves a situation where basketball is not enough."
"This season, the Timberwolves may not only be eighth in the West!"
Even as a die-hard coconut fan, Barkley feels that the Timberwolves are really strong this season.
Even......
"Maybe this season the Timberwolves beat the Los Angeles Lakers, it's really not a surprise......"
In the first half of the game between the Timberwolves and the SuperSonics, Barkley watched quite shockingly.
A young army rose before his eyes!
And the speed and height of the rise shocked him.
Even if you put this Timberwolves in his time, this Timberwolves are definitely a very competitive team!
Not to mention the top of the league, at least in the league can definitely be ranked in the top four of the division.
It's a team that can compete in the divisional finals!
But such a team, in this era, can only work hard for a playoff ticket.
"What a demonic era this is!"
Thinking of this, Barkley, who is a diehard coconut powder, is a little wailing for Yes.
If Yes had been born in his time, it would probably be like Jordan and defeat all of his opponents to start a winning streak.
But in this demonic age, every season there will be new strong opponents, and every season will rise incredibly powerful teams.
The opponent seems to be endless, and he can't be defeated, who can withstand this?
Even Jordan can't stand it!
Well?!
Just when Barkley was desperate, there was a frantic shout from the key arena, which had been suppressed by the Timberwolves.
Barkley looked up at the pitch, his eyes shrinking in the extreme.
Lights red......
Goal ......
76 to 76!
End of Half......
Looking at the Supersonic Nine who walked to the sideline under Guy Mayo's shocked eyes, Barkley and Kenny Smith were full of shock.
Actually...... Resisted?!
