Chapter 548: The Sixth Lore!

"It's on!"

The game between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Denver Nuggets officially began when the referee on duty, Bavita, tossed the basketball in his hand high.

In this game, it was Camby and Milicic who jumped the ball in the center circle.

The starting lineup for this game is center Milicic, power forward Millsap, small forward Durant, and guards Yees and Rondo.

The starting lineup of the Denver Nuggets is center Camby, power forward Kenyon Martin, small forward Anthony, scoring guard Hamilton, and point guard Billups.

Nene was on the bench after returning from injury.

As one of the four kings of the jumping ball world, Milicic and Camby's jumping ball strength is quite close.

Although Camby is not young, he is 34 years old this year, but Camby still averages 3.5 blocks per game and 13 rebounds per game this season.

Camby is definitely one of the most athletic players in the league at the center position.

Coupled with a wealth of experience, Camby's jump ball prowess is quite impressive.

In the jumping ball world, he is also a king-level figure!

However, this time, with the blessing of the supersonic fans of the whole stadium, Milicic finally defeated Camby.

Milicic jumped the ball and Rondo held the ball and prepared to launch a fast break.

As soon as Yes was about to start the fast break, Hamilton next to Yes and Billups, who was standing in the backcourt of the Nuggets, sandwiched him in the middle.

"What a tacit understanding!"

Billups and Hamilton's one-man defense has never been discussed as top players by the rest of the league's expert media.

When people talk about top defensive players, they always like to talk about Yes, Bowen, Kobe Bryant, etc.

Hamilton and Billups are habitually overlooked.

In fact, the individual defense of these two is really not top-notch.

But...... If the two appear in the form of a combination, the coordinated defensive ability of the two is definitely the strongest!

In terms of individual defensive ability, the Lakers backcourt combination of Kobe Bryant and Kidd is the strongest in the league.

But in terms of coordinated defensive ability, the combination of Hamilton and Billups is the strongest!

Seeing Hamilton sticking to Yes's side on the court, Billups just took a step to the right to block Yes's acceleration route, this timing, this coordination, this tacit understanding, even the old Nelson on the sidelines felt a little incredible.

With Old Nelson's understanding of Yes, as long as Billups and Hamilton are not so tacit, Yes can directly get rid of Hamilton's acceleration!

When the time comes, whether Yes hits the basket straight to the basket or stops outside the three-point line, it is a very good opportunity.

But now, as Yes was just about to get started, it stopped.

Rondo eventually gave up on passing the ball and switched from a quick pass to a slow push.

This also allowed Camby, who had just jumped with Milicic, to calmly return to the defensive position.

In the league, because many teams are afraid of the supersonic opening counterattack, many teams' centers give up and supersonic jump balls, but directly return to defense.

If you want to fight with the SuperSonics on the jump ball, you are likely to be counterattacked because the team's center defense is not in place.

But now, the Nuggets can actually use Billups and Hamilton's coordinated defense to easily break the crisis after jumping the ball with the supersonic speed.

This is really surprising.

Yes had come to the Nuggets' three-point line under Hamilton's close defense, and Billups saw that the team's defensive positions behind him had all been settled, so he gave up continuing to defend Yees and met Rondo, who was advancing with the ball.

In the face of a pressing defense like Billups, Rondo did not panic.

The second master doesn't understand the shooting thing very well.

But the matter of ball control, the second master has never been afraid.

Whether it is Billups or the second master's successor, Kidd, they have never made the second master afraid.

Isn't it just a pressing defense?

The second master is really afraid that you will not be pressing!

Dude, we're here to show off?!

Rondo would love to show off his ball-handling skills with Billups here.

What left Rondo rather speechless was that Billups, after pushing him a little, quickly retreated back to a position not far from his front and Yes's side.

Billups's skillful operation, Rondo was stunned when he saw it.

After a moment's pause, Rondo's face darkened.

This old boy, this Nima is a provocation!

This is to hook up the second master's interest in ball control, and he left without helping the second master vent his anger.

That's too cheap, isn't it?

Billups' way of defending is disgusting.

Every time Rondo pushed further, Billups would come up and harass him, and when the harassment was over, he would immediately withdraw again.

This tight and loose operation made it quite difficult for Rondo.

If Billups pushes him too hard, he can play Billups, but if he can't, he can give the ball to Yes.

If Billups doesn't push him and always stands by Yes's side, he can give up on passing the ball to Yes, and he can play with other teammates if Yes doesn't force the ball.

Now it's good, it's not very appropriate to contact Yes, and it's a bit inappropriate not to contact Yes.

Although the second master is the future boss, the current boss of the team is still Yes!

Just when Rondo was very upset by Billups' rather 'insidious' trick, Yes hadn't taken the initiative to come out and want to catch the ball, but Durant took the initiative to come up.

Durant shook off Anthony's entanglement and ran out to catch the ball.

Seeing this hateful-looking 'demon-glamorous-goods', Rondo very much didn't want to pass the ball to him.

This guy is not polite at all!

Yes is ready to give you the ball, give you the right to shoot, give you the right to make mistakes, give you the right to play whatever you want on the team.

But you should be humble.

The team's first offense, why should you keep the team's boss Yes?

Although his eyes were on Durant's body, Yu Guang had been peeking at Yes's Rondo, seeing Yes's hand-waving movements, he reluctantly threw the basketball in his hand to Durant, and angrily gave way to Durant.

Now the whole world knows how to defend Durant is the best way, and that is to pester him.

That would allow Durant to play more with the ball and score on Yes's passes.

Yes is still so iron with the ball and a lot of mistakes.

It's a lot better than having Durant catch and shoot.

Durant's offense with the ball hurts the SuperSonics far more than his catch-and-shoot shot!

Before the start of this game between the SuperSonics and the Nuggets, Durant has been holding his breath.

Now the entire SuperSonics are hoping that Yes can complete seven consecutive lores and surpass Jordan.

Of course, he thinks so, too.

And compared to others, he hopes Yes can do this!

Because the recent controversy between Yes and Jordan and his idol Kobe Bryant was all about him.

If Yes hadn't been crazy about cultivating him in the game, giving him the ball like crazy, and opening up space for him not to get into the three-point line, Yes wouldn't have to be suspected by the world that his mid-range is not strong.

Now, because of Yes's continuous mid-range kills, no one doubts Yes's mid-range prowess.

But it made Yes set off a storm of competition with Jordan.

The immediate culprit who started this storm was Pippen.

But he was the cause!

If, in the end, Yes didn't finish seven games in a row because of him, and was ultimately considered inferior to Jordan, he would definitely hate himself!

The benefits are all his own, but in the end, he let Yes take the blame for him!

Because of his reasons, it doesn't matter if he compares to Jordan, as long as Yes can prove that he is stronger than Jordan, he has no pressure!

Yes wants to prove that he is better than Jordan, and this game will require the SuperSonics to play an inextricable performance against the powerful Nuggets.

It's hard to solve with the powerful Nuggets.

It's a very difficult thing, but it's something they have to do!

Especially him, in this game he will be the Nuggets' strongest player, Carmelo Anthony!

The last time the SuperSonics played against the Nuggets, although the SuperSonics won in the end, it was because Yes unexpectedly blew up Hamilton.

In the last meeting between the two teams, the final outcome will depend on the success rate of Anthony against him and the success rate of Yes against Hamilton.

When he faced Anthony, he was bullied by Anthony miserably.

But in the end, Hamilton was even worse when it came to Yes.

He was hit by Anthony and was able to score seven of his 10 shots.

And Hamilton was beaten by Yes, and he couldn't wait for 9 out of 10!

So in the end, the SuperSonics beat the Nuggets.

But in this game, Hamilton is unlikely to be underestimated, and it is impossible for Yes to play such a success rate again.

Against a league titan like Hamilton, Yes is already very good if it can have an efficiency of about 50%.

What's more, Yes will still cultivate him in this game and put a lot of the ball in his hands.

So, that requires him to play better against Anthony.

At the very least, it's definitely better than the last time I played Anthony!

Eat, sleep, hit fifteen!

This is the summary of his and Anthony alignment by many fans online.

Anthony is indeed very restrained, but now he is no longer the same person he was when he first entered the league!

Whether it's experience, technique or physical confrontation, he is no longer the same!

"This is the game where I let Yes see that he can count on me!"

"This competition is for me to show the world what Yes is doing to me!"

"In this game, I will tell the world that my growth is worthy of Yes's cultivation, and I have not disappointed Yes!"

Durant now feels as if his whole body is on fire.

"This kid is fierce now!"

Anthony's defensive skills are on the lower side of the league at the small forward position.

But for a small forward of Anthony's type, he still has a strong defensive ability.

He can use his power on the defensive end for now, and as long as he's willing to work hard, he's not afraid to compete with offensive players for talent.

But......

"This kid is not a talent stream!"

Left or right?!

Left!

The magnitude of this change of direction is too big, right?!

When the slender figure passed by his left, Anthony's eyes were wide open like flashlights!

Before the game, he knew that Durant's change of direction breakthrough was very good, and most of Durant's large number of mistakes after the All-Star were due to his very large change of direction breakthrough.

However, Anthony really didn't expect Durant's change of direction to be so large!

And it's not just the horizontal stride that is incredible, the vertical stride is also incredible!

As long as he is a little careless, if he is a little slower, Durant's big stride can pass by him.

Bang!

When there was a violent slam dunk behind him, Anthony woke up from the shock.

"This is Durant's dunk!"

Anthony doesn't even have to look back to guess who made the slam dunk.

When Anthony turned around, he saw Durant put his hands down from the basket.

And next to Durant, standing is the equally shocked Camby.

Even the supersonic fans at the scene now look incredulous.

"After Durant's All-Star Game, because of Yes's connivance and cultivation, he increased a lot of offensive opportunities with the ball, a lot of change of direction, a lot of mistakes, and a lot of wonderful moves, but this time Durant's change of direction breakthrough is the most beautiful and crisp one of all the breakthroughs I have ever seen Durant!"

Beautiful, crisp indeed!

Barkley was roaring, and Kenny Smith had a look of surprise on his face.

Anthony's defense wasn't that good.

Especially for that kind of skillful defensive player, Anthony used to be an ATM.

However, is Anthony, who is now willing to work the defensive end, still the same Anthony as before?

Of course not!

Anthony's current defensive skills do need to be polished, but he is willing to work the defensive end, so with his physical talent, his defensive effect is definitely second-rate, if not first-class.

At least a quasi-second-rate defensive player.

A quasi-second-rate defensive player has been passed like a stake?

That's incredible, isn't it?!

In particular, this incredible thing is happening to Durant, not Yes.

So the supersonic fans at the scene were briefly suffocated.

It was only very soon that the supersonic fans at the scene recovered from their suffocation, and then the stadium was full of 'Supersonic!' 'Cheers.

Be the MVP of the scene! Cheers turn into 'Supersonic!' When cheering, even Durant, who came down from the basket, looked at the surrounding stands with some surprise.

Obviously, these cheers are not for Yes.

"It seems that we don't have enough cheering slogans."

Durant came back to his senses and said that the person he respected the most was already smiling and standing beside him.

Seeing the appreciative expression on Yes's face, Durant's expression, which was still a little stunned, also became excited.

Yes is still very happy with him!

As such a sensitive person, he could clearly feel what Yes was feeling about him right now.

There is not a trace of dissatisfaction!

The better he performs, the happier Yes becomes!

This is really cultivating him, really being happy for him!

"KD, I hope that one day, the fans at the Key Arena will be able to cheer 'KD' all over the stadium."

"If there ever was a day, I would be the one who applauded you the most in this arena."

"Come on."

Yass gently patted Durant on the back.

Yes knows his team-mates are under a lot of pressure right now.

His teammates didn't want them to be the sinners of his pursuit of a higher goal, even though he didn't pursue the goal that was the highest in the eyes of the whole world, surpassing Jordan!

He never wanted to surpass Jordan now.

But this is not public opinion that he can change.

Nor is it a situation that he can reverse.

And among his teammates who are under a lot of pressure.

Again, the pressure on Durant is the greatest.

At the most dangerous moment, he faced the most powerful opponent Anthony.

This puts Durant in an extremely tense state mentally and physically.

In this tense state, Durant's performance did not disappoint him.

When Rondo was teased by Billups, Durant still dared to come out to catch the ball and face Anthony under Anthony's entanglement.

Under such pressure, Durant still dared to directly challenge his biggest sufferer, Anthony, one-on-one.

And in the end, a breakthrough was completed under such tremendous pressure.

Ye Si just saw Durant's big change of direction breakthrough, and he really wanted to yell out.

Quite a lot indeed!

Durant's growth rate has pleased him.

Durant's personality traits also make him very satisfied!

This is a man who, like his idol James and Nowitzki of the Mavericks, is not a man who is easily beaten by pressure.

The supersonic fans at the scene were still cheering for Durant, who were not used to calling Durant's name now.

Now they can only shout 'Hypersonics!' for Durant. Such cheers.

But that's enough for Durant.

He was in the Seattle SuperSonics and was sprayed by fans for most of the season!

Now because he stepped up in Yes's most dangerous moment and defeated the mighty Anthony on the offensive end, making the supersonic fans at the scene feel that he is a hero, a knight who can defend Yes.

He is willing to be a hero of Yes!

He is also willing to be a knight who guards Yes by Yes's side!

This wasn't his original basketball dream!

But, this is his greatest pursuit now!

He will give everything he has for this pursuit!

"I didn't expect these young players of the supersonic to have grown to such a point now?!"

"Whether it's Durant or Rondo or Milicic or Millsap, the strength and fighting spirit they showed in this game are quite shocking!"

This game between the supersonic and the Nuggets, before the game starts, the whole world is watching the supersonic down.

Of course.

As long as NBA fans swing the SuperSonics and Nuggets games outward, you can see how huge the gap between the two teams is.

But after the start of this game, the trend of the two teams was completely different from what many people imagined before the game!

"This is not a Nuggets crushing the supersound!"

"It's a game where two teams are evenly matched on the offensive end!"

The game on the pitch right now is truly incredible!

Milicic and Camby, neither of them can defend the other.

Millsap and Martin, neither of these two can attack the other.

Durant and Anthony, neither of these two can guard against the other.

The most amazing are Yes and Hamilton and Billups.

The comparison between the SuperSonics and the rest of the Nuggets, on the whole, because Anthony's offense is indeed stronger than Durant's, and the reason why he has a greater advantage over Durant is that if Yes and Hamilton Billups are excluded, the Nuggets are stronger overall.

And the Nuggets are not strong by one or two points.

However, because Yes also has an advantage over Hamilton and Billups, the situation of the two teams on the field is actually evenly matched!

"Yes in this game, against a defense like the Nuggets, can you still play for the SuperSonics?!"

Key Arena in Seattle.

Looking at the game that the two teams are playing on the court, reporters from all over the United States and the world in the sidelines are now shocked.

Durant played a better game against Anthony's defense in this game than in the previous game, the shooting percentage has increased slightly, there are not so many turnovers, and the way of scoring has become smoother.

The strength seems to have risen to a higher level.

This was a surprise.

But they are still understandable.

Under the cultivation of Yes regardless of the cost, even if it is Grandma O'Neill, even if it is a pig, it can be enlightened!

Although Durant's list this year is an overestimate for him, Durant can't be a pig or really O'Neal's grandmother.

Yes In order to develop Durant, he is now almost a role player on the court, and Durant has played like this game, so it can only be said that Yes's efforts to Durant are valuable.

Durant played a good game, and they can accept it and understand it.

The other SuperSonics players are also playing well, and they, like Durant, can understand and accept it, after all, their pressure is not as great as Durant.

But the key is Yes!

Yes, the pressure is quite high!

There's a Hamilton next to him who keeps sticking to it, and there's a Billups next to him who keeps sticking to it.

Although Hamilton and Billups are not flanking Yes.

But as the strongest combination of coordinated defense, even if they don't flank the attack, just this kind of coordinated defense can make all the outside attackers in the league terrifying!

Whether it's Kobe Bryant or Maddie or Iverson, in the face of defenses like Hamilton and Billups, everyone will drink a pot!

Even Jordan will encounter great difficulties in the face of the defense of these two!

But what about Yes?

In this game between the SuperSonics and the Nuggets, the two teams played the first quarter, 34-34, Yes scored 8 points on 2-of-3 three-pointers in a single quarter!

In this game between the SuperSonics and the Nuggets, the two teams played 61-61 in the second quarter, and Yes scored 7 points on 2-of-2 three-pointers in the second quarter!

In the first half of this game, Yes was defended by Hamilton and Billups, and there were not many shots, and Yes himself did not think about making a shot.

But as long as Yes shoots, the hit rate is extremely high!

In the first half, he made 4 of 5 three-pointers and scored 15 points!

It can be said that the disadvantages of other supersonic players in the face of the Nuggets have all been made up for by the incredible efficiency of Yes!

If you talk about the first half, it can be explained that Yes has a very good hand, is in good shape, and has few shots, so such a high hit rate can be unexpected.

But after the start of the second half, this unbelievably high hit of Yes continued?

After the start of the third quarter, Durant's physical strength decreased significantly, and the disadvantage to Anthony began to become more and more obvious.

Seeing that the Nuggets seemed to be about to win, but throughout the third quarter, Yes's three-point shooting became even more terrifying, with 6 shots in a single quarter, 4 hits, and 15 points in a single quarter!

At the end of the third quarter, he shot 8 of 11 three-pointers!

That's terrifying, isn't it?

You know, Yes's opponents are Hamilton and Billups!

It's a combination of coordinated defense first!

Now these media reporters on the sidelines are confused.

So, was Hamilton and Billups' defense of Yes a success or a failure in this game?

Speaking of failure, these two made Yes only 11 shots in the first three quarters of this game!

It was a very successful defense!

But what about success?

Yes In the face of these two people's defense, this is too efficient!

"It's Hamilton and Billups!"

This direct battle between the SuperSonics and the Nuggets for the top three, the Spurs and Lakers are certainly paying attention.

As an old rival, Duncan really feels incredible when he looks at the Yes data that is now being played on TV.

Not only Duncan, but other Spurs players also had such incredible expressions.

At the same time, after the incredulity, all these people looked at Bowen with respect and adoration.

Bowen alone is equal to the strongest defensive combination in the NBA!

I don't know why Yes seems to be able to do this, in front of Hamilton and Billups, he can score if he wants to.

But that's certainly not the reason for Hamilton and Billups.

Hamilton's coordinated defense is no longer in doubt, it is the number one in the active team!

It can only be said that Yes's three-point shot is too powerful!

is so strong that as long as he gets the opportunity to shoot, whether he can score or not has nothing to do with the defenders, it is completely up to him.

Looking at the game that is still going on, the Spurs players are now shocked, and Bowen is the only one who looks calm with a faint smile on his face.

As if everything was under his grasp.

And in fact?

He's really the only one in the Spurs locker room who understands the Yes vs. Hamilton Billups showdown.

Hamilton and Billups don't look like they can always work together to stop Yes.

It doesn't look like there's anything wrong with their defense, just like the kind of defense he did against Yes.

But the unmisplaced or coordinated defense of Hamilton and Billups is all Yes for them!

Yes is not not defensive!

Yes just don't want to shoot, don't want to attack!

"This game is too intense!"

"The Nuggets look stronger, but the Nuggets only need to pull away a little bit, and Yes can stand up!"

"Now the two teams are completely scorched together!"

"Whoever wins in the end is likely!"

As the game on TV heats up, the expressions of the Spurs players in the Spurs locker room are constantly changing.

As the team that is currently fourth in the West, they certainly want the Nuggets to win.

If the Nuggets win, their record with the SuperSonics will be closer.

It stands to reason that the Nuggets have the greatest hope of winning this game, and before the game, most people thought the Nuggets could win.

They also agree with such speculation.

But now......

Watching these two teams continue to deuce, they really can't understand it!

"The Seattle SuperSonics won this game!"

Just as the Spurs players' nervous hands were sweating, Bowen's confident and firm voice came softly.

After Bowen finished speaking, he could feel how incredible the eyes of his teammates looked at him.

Indeed, it is really difficult to see the result of the current situation where the two teams are constantly climbing up the level.

So far in this game, there are 4 minutes left in the game, and the two teams have drawn 45 times!

A match draws 45 times!

This is the history of the NBA!

Yes can easily beat the Nuggets with supersonic speed, but why would he do this?

Bowen wasn't a fool, how could he not have guessed Yes's intentions!

There is only one plan for Yes!

Just as the Spurs players looked at Bowen in disbelief, Bowen's eyes looked sympathetically to the northeast...... There, in the direction of Chicago.

It's just clear that in the eyes of the Spurs players on the scene, Bowen's sympathetic look is for the Nuggets.

"Are the Nuggets really going to lose 100% of this game?!"

Really?!

It's not that Bowen's prestige at the Spurs isn't enough, it's that it's really incredible!

"Ping! Flat! Flat! It's flat again! ”

The score on TV is as if the two teams have rehearsed or said that they are going up, hand in hand.

Jordan certainly knew that such a magical score was not the result of what was perceived as a manipulation.

But now, his heart is really tugged at his throat by such a score change!

To be reasonable, he has already prepared so many boxes of cigars at home, and he is ready to enjoy this game.

But since the start of the game, he didn't have a chance to enjoy it at all!

"It's flat!"

"This is the fiftieth draw between the two teams in this match!"

Listening to the voice of the commentary on TV, watching Anthony crusher Durant's defense hit two points, Jordan even yelled excitedly.

But soon, looking at the score on TV and the rest of the time, Jordan's excited face instantly turned pale!

"With 15 seconds left in the game, Carmelo Anthony crushed Durant for a layup, 130-130!"

"The Seattle SuperSonics have the right to kill this incredible game!"

Barkley is roaring, and the supersonic fans are going crazy.

And in the locker room of the Spurs, at this time, everyone's eyes were on the bald head who held his chest with both hands and was confident and calm.

"In this race, Yes will beat the opponent in the middle distance for the sixth time in a row!"

After Bowen said lightly, the other players in the Spurs locker room turned their heads to the TV almost mechanically.

"End of pause!"

"It is said that Yes's opponents in the first three games are too weak, and this time, Yes is facing the strongest combination of coordinated defense in the league!"

"Yes, ready to perform this lore!"

"Yes didn't pass the ball, Yes shot mid-range with Hamilton and Billups defending!"

Looking at the figure who threw the ball out from mid-range under the defense of Hamilton and Billups, Jordan's hands were already holding the TV excitedly.

"It's impossible to hit this ball!"

It's just that soon, when the brush sounded, Jordan's eyes on the TV with both hands seemed to burst out in shock!

"Sixth! Yes completed the middle range kill for the sixth time in a row! ”

Barkley's crazy voice resounded throughout the United States.
