Chapter 796: We're Steady!
As soon as the Seattle SuperSonics' top eight positions in the playoffs were threatened, public opinion in the United States was that yes was going to fall, yes was finally going to be unable to take it, and the Seattle SuperSonics were finally going to crash.
In the previous season, this kind of public opinion only came out before the start of the season, and after the season progressed, such voices disappeared completely.
Like this season, there is such public opinion at every turn, and that goes back to Yes's rookie season two seasons ago.
That Seattle SuperSonic, like the Seattle SuperSonics this season, has been hovering around the eighth position in the West.
The hype routine of the American media is effective, the headline is sensational, and the content is stimulating, isn't this able to stimulate the nerves of a large number of coconut fans?
It is precisely because of the effect that these media and journalists just like to play such routines.
This is the media and fans, to be honest, every time I see such a routine, Ye Si is a little annoyed.
Because, these media scare his fans from time to time.
Fans like to be nervous and excited, and maybe they are really willing to be intimidated by the routines of these media.
However, his teammates were also affected by their emotions, which made Yes a little dissatisfied.
Now the gap between the supersonic and the rocket is indeed one less loss, as long as it loses to the Nuggets, the supersonic is indeed overtaken by the rocket from the ninth position.
However, that also needs to lose to the Nuggets first!
The Seattle SuperSonics vs. Nuggets game, when he doesn't want to lose, will the Seattle SuperSonics lose to the Nuggets?
Of course not!
It's just that, as long as he wants to, only he knows that the SuperSonics can't lose to the Nuggets, and his teammates don't know.
Whether or not his teammates are influenced by those media and public opinion, they are indeed getting a little nervous now.
Looking at these nervous teammates, Ye Si had no way to tell them directly, don't worry, play the Nuggets, easily!
Let's not say that he can't say that, and even if he says so, I'm afraid these teammates of his will be even more nervous.
Therefore, now it seems that supersonic speed is really dangerous, but in fact, there is no danger at all, Ye Si can only hold it in his heart, and can only watch the whole world go in the opposite direction of what he thinks in his heart.
He really didn't want to slap his face, but these people always stuck their faces out.
Looking at the feeling that I am stubborn talent saved and locked to this 88, Ye Si sighed slightly.
I'm stubborn.,The talent for saving the feel once a month has been refreshed a week ago and can be used again.,But this week, Yes's feel isn't very good.
Recently, his feel is really not top-notch, tonight, his feel is good, there was a period of time when there was a feeling of more than 80, Ye Si hurriedly saved.
He can also use this talent to save those ninety-plus feels, but it's really too difficult and difficult, and I'm afraid that I can only brush it to one point in time for a month.
Kobe Bryant's talent for saving the feel is very strong, but the more practical way to use it is not so picky, try to use it once a month, don't use it for months for a perfect feel, of course, the use method is not absolute, but it needs to look at the temporary needs.
For Yes, this game against the Nuggets certainly doesn't need him to use this saved touch.
With the loss of the Seattle SuperSonics against the Grizzlies, the previously peaceful supersonic public opinion instantly became a little noisy.
"If yes and the SuperSonics dropped out of the top eight in the West before the All-Star break, he would definitely be laughed at by the other All-Star players when he went to the All-Star break, right?"
"Hahahaha, not only yes will be jokingly ridiculed by other superstars, I'm afraid the other two All-Star players of the SuperSonics will also be ridiculed, the Rockets fell out of the playoffs, even Roy was defeated, and there are three more Seattle SuperSonics who fell out of the playoffs, this is simply a target for yourself, hahahahaha!"
Now many people are watching the excitement, and many people are also worried, although they have seen the excitement a few times before, and they have been worried a few times.
But this time, it seems to have been extraordinarily real once again by the media across the United States.
So real that even the Nuggets themselves have some belief that this time, they really should win!
The Seattle SuperSonics and Denver Nuggets game was on Feb. 4, and on Feb. 3, Yees once again received the league's Western Conference Monthly Award.
Last month, Yees led the Seattle SuperSonics on a nine-game winning streak, and while it wasn't as crazy as it was in December, the 43-point performance in a single month was still incredible.
If it weren't for the performance of O'Neal and Kobe Bryant this season, coupled with the fact that the supersonic rankings have not improved, Ye Si would have been able to ride the dust on the MVP rankings a long time ago, instead of being entangled with O'Neal and Kobe Bryant as they are now.
Yes won last month's Western Conference Monthly Award, but such an award did nothing to ease the tension within the SuperSonics team right now.
Even the team's head coach Nelson Sr. was very serious about preparing for the game during training.
Preparing for the game against the Nuggets was a very painful thing for Nelson Sr.
After watching the last game with the Nuggets, the old Nelson really didn't understand how the SuperSonics won the last game!
In the last game, the SuperSonics not only won, but also beat the Nuggets in the third quarter!
Yes has a higher success rate against Billups and Hamilton than Anthony against Ibaka, and it's much higher!
How does this make him analyze?
There's no way to analyze it!
It's like two teams fighting, and suddenly a meteor shower falls in the sky, directly destroying the other team!
Last time we won for such reasons, can we hope for this reason to win this time?
The next meteor shower, can you expect to go to the next time?
Let's not talk about whether the Nuggets will let Billups or Hamilton defend YES alone in this game, and let YES and Anthony score points in the game.
Even if the Nuggets really wanted to, Nelson Sr. couldn't expect something like that to happen again.
Seriously, as long as Ibaka doesn't take it from the starters, facing Anthony, who is now the league's No. 1 small forward, the SuperSonics' hope of winning is very slim.
Even if Ibaka is very distracted by Milicic and Millsap Gasol Jr., he can play Ibaka with super efficiency.
The last game was like that, Anthony praised Millsap after the game, but Millsap was not the reason for winning the last time the two sides met, the reason why the SuperSonics won the last time they met was that Yes scored more than Anthony and was more efficient than Anthony!
You know how the team won last time, but you just can't replicate it, and is there anything more painful than that?
"In this game, we have no reason to lose again!"
"Cameron, we need a win in this game, a win that pulls yes off the altar!"
In the Nuggets locker room before the game began, George Carr's voice was agitated.
The Nuggets players had a high look on their faces.
This game really can't afford to miss a chance!
Although the Nuggets' group of little guys made a big comeback after a 3-0 pit last season, which made them lose their late season.
Both Billups and Hamilton feel that it is impossible to return to the 3-0 reversal and revenge, and now the only thing that can take revenge is to pull yes from the altar that has never fallen from the playoffs!
An ordinary victory, there is no way for them to regain the lost night.
Billups, in particular, was even more hungry for a victory.
He and Hamilton were both in the Nuggets and were cheated by these boys of the Nuggets team very badly, but compared to Hamilton, he was also cheated by James and his gang in the United States for a fifty-eight!
Double the humiliation, double the late festival is not guaranteed!
"This game must be won!"
Billups' gnashing of teeth surprised even Anthony.
The veterans of Billups and Hamilton are really useful!
Strength, experience, fighting spirit, that's all leverage!
It's a little pity that these two are always thinking about retiring.
It's like they've been pitted by the Nuggets.
For these two people to want to retire at any time, he and the team's head coach George Karl are quite a pity.
Did the work of these two last summer and let these two stay.
This summer, it is estimated that the work of these two people will still need to be done.
Seriously, isn't it fragrant to work hard together in the Nuggets, beat YES together, and get on the championship podium in the NBA together?
It's not scary to lose, it's important that you can win the last game!
yes and the Garfield Five Tigers won all year and then lost one of them and they lost them all!
Regardless of what happened this summer, beat yes and the SuperSonics today, and let Hamilton and Billups see confidence.
On February 4, 2009, there were two strong battles in the West today, one was the Nuggets who were third in the West to challenge the SuperSonics who were eighth in the West, and the other was the Grizzlies who were fifth in the West to challenge the Rockets who were ninth in the West. ‘
The game between the SuperSonics and the Nuggets is in the front, and the game between the Rockets and the Grizzlies is in the back.
In the Toyota Center, in the locker room of the Rockets and Grizzlies, Yao Ming, Roy and the Rockets players, Oden Carter and the Grizzlies players are all watching this game between the SuperSonics and the Nuggets.
In this game between the SuperSonics and the Nuggets, it doesn't matter if the Grizzlies win or lose, as long as the Grizzlies can't finish first in the Southwest this season, any ranking is meaningless.
The Southwest Division is too strong, this season the Spurs, the Mavericks and Grizzlies are fighting for the first place, the first in the Southwest Division can be ranked in the top three, and they can play the bottom three teams in the West.
But the second and third in the Southwest Division, and finally in the playoffs, they can only play one in the West, fourth in the West, and fifth in the West, and play themselves.
The top three in the Southwest Region are three of the four strongest teams in the West this year, and playing their own first-round games is naturally the most miserable.
So, whether it's the Grizzlies, Spurs or Mavericks, they all want to grab the first spot in the Southwest Division.
The current records of the three teams are also extremely close.
Although the game between the SuperSonics and the Nuggets is not about the Grizzlies' rankings, it can still attract the attention of all players in the league for this myth that may make YES forever in the playoffs.
Of course, others are in the mindset of watching the show, and Oden is in the mindset of worrying.
There are many people who like the master, but Auden also knows that there are also many people who don't like the master.
Even if the master doesn't have any black spots in his entire career, but if you don't like it, you don't like it, and it's hard to expect everyone to respect the master as much as he does.
It's impossible.
"Chauncey, this may be our last chance!"
When Hamilton was booed at the Key Arena and the Nuggets players had already taken to the court, the look on his face was full of that kind of death-defying expression!
Last Chance!
Although the look on Billups's face was not as decisive as Hamilton's, he also knew that Hamilton's words were not wrong.
This game is indeed their last chance.
The reason why yes is in such a difficult situation this season is entirely because of the need to develop Ibaka.
When Ibaka's development is over this season and Durant returns, who will be able to pull YES off the playoffs?
Can they?
Even in this season, there will be games between the Nuggets and the SuperSonics in the future, but the games between the Nuggets and the SuperSonics in the future are likely to be ordinary regular seasons, not games like this one that can bring yes off the altar!
He and Hamilton want revenge, and they can only get revenge in this game!
Maybe this is the only chance for revenge in the rest of your career!
Looking back on the glory of this career......
Think back to all the great opponents along the way in your career......
In their careers, they have walked through thorns, flowers, and finally reached the top of glory.
And their opponents along the way have beaten Carter, killed Maddie, hammered Iverson and beat Kobe James!
It can be said that along the way, there are so many superstar superstars who have fallen at their feet!
But!
Look, that supersonic number nine who came out on the finale with the cheers of the fans!
yes!
It was a nightmare that seemed to hang over their heads forever and could not be pierced!
"As long as I can beat yes in this fight, I, Richard Hamilton, will retire immediately!"
"Now, my last dream left in my career is to beat yes in this fight!"
Billups and Hamilton, two good teammates, glanced at each other, and all that was left on their faces was the look of giving everything for the win.
No matter how much these little guys of the Nuggets cheat them, this game, even if they pay with their lives, they will definitely win!
It is very vulgar to say that he was glorious in the past.
But both Billups and Hamilton saw in their eyes the resolute and fearless look in the 2004 Finals when they faced the Lakers, who were invincible in pre-game public opinion!
"Fight!"
"It's really hard!"
Both Billups and Hamilton wanted to fight for everything in this game.
Seeing the eyes of Billups and Hamilton who wanted to fight everything in this game, Kobe Bryant in front of the TV was a little worried about Yes.
These two people are desperate, it is really ferocious!
He was a little preoccupied right now.
Compared with the Rockets' eighth place in the West, as the first team in the West, he certainly hopes that the SuperSonics can be the eighth team in the West!
Bryant was worried about Yees and the SuperSonics, while the Rockets players and coaches in front of the TV were cheering for the Nuggets in their hearts.
Billups and Hamilton going to fight hard?
It's really great!
Really fight, really beat the hypersonics, and they went up!
It's just that......
When the game starts......
Looking at the live picture on TV, the expressions on the faces of the Rocket players in the entire Rocket locker room changed from slight surprise at the beginning to surprise at the end of the game.
"How is this possible?!"
"The Nuggets actually lost ......"
As a head coach, Adelman has studied the game between the SuperSonics and the Nuggets, and normally, the Nuggets have more than an eight-in-ten chance of winning!
This eighty percent is still out of respect for yes.
In fact, he couldn't even find how the SuperSonics, who started with Ibaka, could win the Nuggets!
SuperSonics took Ibaka to play the Nuggets, and that was really four to six!
If the Nuggets are an ordinary team, the superSonics can also play six with the super ability of yes, the key is the Nuggets!
With the NBA's No. 1 small forward, it just happens to be the Nuggets against Anthony, who Ibaka is best at!
Although he said that the probability of losing at supersonic speed is eighty percent, in fact, Adelman believes that the probability of losing at supersonic speed is nine out of nine!
But!
Watch the final score on TV.
121 to 110!
In the end, the Seattle SuperSonics won the Nuggets by 10 points at home!
Not only did they win by 10 points, but the Nuggets didn't have much chance for the entire game.
In his impression of this game, the Nuggets should have never been ahead in this game, right?
In the face of Ibaka's single defense, Anthony performed well in this game, shooting 18 of 31, and once again scored 50 points in a single game.
In Milicic and Millsap, Gasol Jr.'s protection of Ibaka is getting better and better, and now there are not so many NBA players who can casually brush up forty or fifty points in front of Ibaka.
And Anthony is undoubtedly the best one in the group.
But even Anthony, who had such an almost perfect performance, did not lead the Nuggets to victory in the end!
Because!
This game has an even more perfect player!
20-of-29 shooting, 58 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists!
"Meteor shower, really fell twice......"
Looking at Yes, who put his right hand to his ear and listened to the cheers of the fans on the field, Old Nelson muttered to himself in horror.
On the other hand, assistant coach Marikrose was a little confused.
What meteor shower, what twice?
The result of the game between the SuperSonics and the Nuggets that the world is watching has shocked many people.
"Yes has scored a lot this season, close to averaging 50 points per game, but even so, yes has been quite restrained on the court."
"Yes rarely attacks when he is packed, and this time, in the face of Billups and Hamilton, two of the most coordinated combinations of outside defense in NBA history, YES showed the world his ability to attack after being packed!"
"We know that yes has such an ability, but it's hard to imagine that yes's strong attack ability can be so strong!"
Now Barkley is going crazy.
Kenny Smith was surprised to think that Barkley's madness was not an exaggeration.
Any player who plays Billups and Hamilton can play this efficiency, more efficiently than Anthony plays Ibaka, then this person can get any praise!
In this game, Hamilton and Billups really want to give everything they have.
But in the end, they didn't even have a chance to fight everything!
The loss of this game between them and the Nuggets simply shocked the two!
What a chance for revenge!
But in the end, they missed it again......
Looking at the yes who seemed to be being cheered on by the whole world, both Billups and Hamilton felt the urge to cry.
Nima's, why is it so difficult to take revenge!
Now they really understand that the two most explosive members of the team, Ben Wallace and Rasheed Wallace, have lost their desire for revenge in front of yes.
"Yes, congratulations, once again led the team to avoid a huge crisis......"
"Crisis? I never thought my teammates and I were in any kind of crisis before. ”
“……”
In the press conference after the game, reporters used to ask questions, and Yes was silent for a long time before holding back some words, but this time......
yes will actually rush to answer?!
"Me and my team-mates, we trust each other, we help each other, we are trying to make each other stronger, we are trying to make the whole team look better, we have never had a crisis, never, everything we have done is excellent, we are on the right path now."
"We, really, are stable!"
yes not only learned to answer, but also said so much at once!
It is......
It's just yes, why did you run away after saying it?!
Looking at the back of Yes leaving, the reporters at the scene exploded in place in an instant after the circle.
The next day, for a while, the whole United States was the content of Yes's speech in the post-match press conference.
"My team has never been in crisis?"
"yes actually said that everything is going well for his team?"
"Doesn't he know that even if they win the game against the Nuggets, they are being threatened by the Rockets?"
"The Rockets beat the Grizzlies on the same day!"
"As long as the supersonic loses one more game, the rocket can still go straight to eighth in the West!"
In the Heat's locker room, many Heat players had no scruples about talking about what Yees said at the press conference last night.
Listening to the discussion of their teammates, James and Wade's brows were furrowed.
Yes is unwise, and now as soon as yes drops out of the top eight, his responses are all hubris, and there are no black spots in the B number.
"The yes crisis has not been resolved......"
"Hmm."
After Wade finished speaking, James nodded.
The SuperSonics have four games left before the All-Star break, and three games are against teams with a win rate of 50% or more.
But......
The Seattle SuperSonics beat the Trail Blazers 112-103 at home on Feb. 6, followed by back-to-back home defeats of the Trail Blazers in Portland 106-92 on Feb. 7.
"yes really pressed the Rockets, who are now winning 12 in a row, to the ninth place in the West, and they can't get a single step?!"
In the Heat's locker room, Wade and James withdrew their gaze from the TV and looked at each other in shock.
yes is right, supersonic speed is actually really stable?!
How is this possible?!
