Chapter 815: Ibaka's Heart Knot and the New Yes Successor!
This season, the Seattle SuperSonics have many nemesis teams in the league, such as the Mavericks led by Nowitzki Afflalo, the Grizzlies led by Odengasol, the Rockets led by Yao Ming Roy, and the Timberwolves led by Guy Yi and Al Jefferson......
For this season's Seattle SuperSonics, according to many people, the SuperSonics with Ibaka are four to fight each other's five, plus Yes will be caught by the opponent, the play of the supersonic inner three is particularly important, Milicic, Millsap, Mark Gasol, as long as there is a team that can suppress these three, and by the way, Yes can be sandwiched well, then the SuperSonics is really certain to die.
The Mavericks, Grizzlies, Rockets, Timberwolves are all such teams.
In fact, the Suns, who just beat the SuperSonics, used to be such a team.
Marion and Ragabel's entrapment of Yes is among the best in the league, and Stoudemire's offensive ability combined with Nash's lethality in the league is also top-notch.
It's not like the SuperSonics haven't played against the Suns this season, and the Suns have beaten the SuperSonics before.
This time, though, the results changed dramatically.
Although Marion and Ragabel are still excellent for Yes.
However, Stoudemire can no longer be in a position to suppress Milicic in the center of the position.
Milicic has improved a lot after playing Larry Brown's Bobcats this season, and the main improvement is to be more confident, no longer the habitual passive beating on the court, as far as Stoudemire's offensive ability is concerned, even if it is Duncan, it can't stand it.
After Milicic broke Larry Brown's curse of disdain for his offense and defense, his self-confidence on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends increased, which made Stoudemire, who was the center of the Suns, unable to attack as fully as before, and needed to be distracted defensively.
At the very least, in front of Suns fans, he played this game that he was qualified to replace Stoudemire as an All-Star this season, and not just because of yes.
Of course, the biggest reason for the Seattle SuperSonics' big win over the Suns in this game is not that Milicic, who has been passively beaten before, has changed.
The biggest reason is that Ibaka, who has always been a black hole before, has no black hole in this game.
In this game, Marion no longer has the ability to use his experience as recklessly as he did before to 'get on the bottom' in terms of talent.
Marion's pot throwing talent is below Ibaka, and in the last meeting, Marion used the advantage of experience to press Ibaka, who was one level higher than him, to the ground and rub it.
In this game, when he met Ibaka again, Marion played very uncomfortable, his hands were not as long as Ibaka, his feet were not as long as Ibaka, his bones were not as hard as Ibaka, and even the bounce was not as high as Ibaka.
He can't play the dumping system, and he doesn't have the same single-to-one ability as players like Joe Johnson, so his one-on-one singles against Ibaka is not a regular tactic for the Suns.
Moreover, Ibaka is now upgraded to C-level ability, and his talent is not something that can be bullied casually at any level of singles.
It can be said that if this game between the SuperSonics and the Suns makes Suns head coach D'Antoni and the Suns players see despair.
The desperation that may never catch up with yes and hypersonics again.
So this game is really a hope and a future for the superSonics players.
Even before the All-Star, the supersonic up and down already knew Ibaka's progress.
It's just that Ibaka has been targeted, and his C-rank abilities have the same effect on the court as his previous E-rank abilities.
This time against the Suns, the Suns did not have an absolutely strong single point on the front line, and Marion was exactly the player that Ibaka could restrain from.
So this game against the Suns can really be regarded as a game in which Ibaka flashes his light for outsiders to see.
In this game, the light emitted by Ibaka finally made it visible to those who were still crazy about him yesterday.
Since Durant's injury, Ibaka has been the team's starting small forward this season.
From the summer league to the preseason to the regular season now, 53 games have been played, and it can be said that Ibaka, a former basketball amateur, is now playing almost 100 NBA-level games.
played almost 100 games, and was scolded for almost 100 games.
Previously, Rondo, Durant, James Harden, the three generations of players who were crazy black have always been more scolded than applauded.
But at the very least, the three men sometimes mixed up applause with their scolding.
But Ibaka, it was really before the last game against the Suns, it was all scolding, no applause.
It's not just that Ibaka is in such a situation that Nelson Sr. has always been a little worried about, even Yes has been a little worried about it sometimes.
In the end, it turned out that Yes and Nelson Sr.'s worries were unwarranted.
Ibaka has a very strong heart.
For most of the year, his whole body was immersed in pure black, but when he exposed his head, he could still maintain pure white.
This quality is really valuable.
Of course, in the NBA, every player has the possibility of shining, and even as long as there are players who can play in the NBA, anyone has ever appreciated it.
As the starting small forward of the Western Conference playoff team, the highlight of his career is really not enough.
In fact, Ibaka's current ability is really insufficient.
Yes and Nelson Sr. knew this, so Yes and Neal Sr. never put too much pressure on Ibaka.
Ibaka himself is also well aware, so he is the hardest working player in the team forever other than Yese.
Because of the tragic experience in the past, coupled with the fact that he became a father as a teenager and had a large family to raise, Ibaka, a black African, is more simple and knows the importance of opportunity to him than those black Americans in the NBA.
"Sergi, don't put too much pressure on yourself, you've made a lot of progress now."
There are a lot of players around Yes this season, in addition to James Harden, Yes is most optimistic about Ibaka.
A talented and hard-working person, although he has been stumbling in the past, his future can still be looked forward to.
Maybe he will never be able to practice Durant's touch, skill and ball feel now, but even if he doesn't have Durant's skill and touch, Ibaka can still be a first-class player.
It's just that for people, the most feared thing is comparison.
Although the match with Marion made Ibaka a little bit of a blockbuster, it also gave Ibaka confidence.
But thinking about the opponents of the supersonic tonight......
Golden State Warriors.
Now the league's penultimate first.
However, this team has a presence that can beat Ibaka.
If against Marion, it was Ibaka who could restrain Marion with talent, it was because Marion's singles skills could not fully grasp Ibaka's weaknesses.
Beasley, on the other hand, is nothing like Marion.
Beasley's talent for throwing the pot is actually not as good as Ibaka's.
But Beasley has the ability to beat James heads-up in rookie camp and defeat Wade in heads-up.
Beasley's pure athletic talent did not reach the top, but this player's singles skills, ball quotient when singles, and that chic and elegant style of play, that is the existence that Kobe Bryant admired, although such a talent is not a hard talent, it is also a talent!
Beasley is full of physical talent, singles talent and technical talent, and is the nemesis of players like Ibaka who don't have much basketball experience and experience!
Coupled with the fact that Beasley and Durant are childhood sweethearts who grew up together, Beasley is really handy with players like Ibaka and Durant.
Ibaka met Beasley this season, and Beasley has never scored below 40 points.
If it weren't for Ibaka's strong heart, Ibaka would probably have been beaten out of the psychological shadow by Beasley.
Even if Ibaka didn't have that kind of psychological shadow over Beasley, it was clear that Ibaka was still very concerned about Beasley's existence.
The fight against Marion gave Ibaka confidence.
Ibaka hopes to use that confidence in tonight's clash with Beasley.
"Prepare well for tonight's game."
Looking at Ibaka, whose face was now full of hesitation, Ye Si patted Ibaka on the shoulder and said with a smile.
Prepare well for tonight......
Looking at the back of yes leaving, Ibaka came back from his stunned state, and his hands were clenched into fists.
His rookie status, his ability, his status in the NBA, he can't be accommodated by any NBA team.
Someone who can put himself above the team will always be a star player like yes.
And he, even if he wants to get something back from Beasley, he doesn't have that kind of tactical position and team status.
In the Seattle SuperSonics, on any team in the league, he's the kind of player who does what the team needs him to do, and if he can't do it, he just stays on the bench.
There's no way to say anything about a player like him, I think, I think that's the case.
He does not have such autonomy.
But what is the reality......
The reality is that he's in the hypersonic, and by the side of yes, he really has an autonomy that he can't imagine.
Yes never restricts the growth of any of his teammates, whether the Seattle SuperSonics or the YES people need to grow.
For the SuperSonics and Yes, they only need a backup small forward to replace Durant for a short time, and he just needs to do the role well, and he doesn't need to think so much.
But yes, Mr. Nelson, HyperSonic, is really willing to give him more space and a stage.
Now Durant has begun his personal physical recovery training and has entered the comeback schedule.
Maybe when Durant returns, his place on the team will be lost in an instant.
Maybe even his future may not be with the Seattle SuperSonics.
If there ever is a day, Ibaka feels that he will not resent anyone on this team.
No, not resentment, all he has is gratitude for the people and things of this team.
On February 18, 2009, Oakland, Golden State, the game against the Warriors was a back-to-back away game for the Seattle SuperSonics.
This game is the final game of the season for the Seattle SuperSonics and Golden State Warriors.
Because it is the last game, Ibaka, who does not have much confidence in his future, will cherish it extraordinarily, even if he knows that he is not Beasley's opponent, he hopes to draw an end to his feud with Beasley in this game.
Maybe in the future, he will never be able to play Beasley in the starting position again.
Perhaps this match will be the last time in his career that he will regain his dignity in Beasley, even if it is a little bit of dignity.
In this game with the Warriors, Ye Si was originally going to brush up on the task of 'rebounding superman' in this game.
The third link of the superstar completion mission: rebounding superman
Requirements: Grab at least 50 rebounds and no less than 30 offensive rebounds in a regular game.
Mission Description: The first two rings of the host's completion task have reached an excellent level of completion, and what you get is a guaranteed five-star ten-draw fragment, and the third ring task will automatically match the excellent difficulty task, and the original task will increase the offensive rebounds from no less than 20 to 30.
Reward: A guaranteed five-star 10-draw fragment.
As for this task of rebounding superman, although it is not as difficult to complete as scoring superman and assisting superman.
But if you want to play this statistic in a normal game, you can't touch it in a lifetime.
Does YES have the ability to grab 50 rebounds and 30 offensive rebounds in a game?
Of course it is capable.
Yese's offensive and defensive rebounding attributes are now 80, which is a top-notch rebounding attribute on the inside, and the top on the outside, plus his ability to bounce up to 90 and his rebounding sense that he has cultivated in nearly 4,000 Finals games.
He has the ability to grab 50 rebounds or 30 offensive rebounds when he gets the right opportunity.
The point is that this suitable opportunity is not very easy to come by, and it may not happen once in a lifetime in the entire career.
Therefore, if he wants to complete this task, he needs to find an opportunity on his own.
To put it mildly, it is to create a competition that can brush this data for him.
Obviously, he wants to create such a game, and a strong team can't do it, and it is impossible for a strong team to grab 30 frontcourt rebounds on the inside, unless it is O'Neal and the Cavaliers, but O'Neal has already played this season.
Now that the knight and O'Neill are no longer available.
Then next up are the two weakest teams, the Warriors and the Knicks.
The Knicks are also running out, and the Warriors are left, and the Warriors are left with this one.
Therefore, after the All-Star break, Yes has his eyes on this game when he looks at the rest of the team's schedule.
But......
Ibaka's growth seems to require this game more than he does.
He needs this game, and the purpose of finishing this task is to strengthen himself, and the purpose of strengthening himself is to improve the team.
And Ibaka needs this game to grow, and Ibaka's growth is also to strengthen the team.
He doesn't have the Warriors, a team that is very good at brushing data, and he can find another one, after all, the Warriors may not be able to brush data well, the Warriors are too weak, and there are very few cases where he really brushes up 20 frontcourt rebounds and hasn't broken the Warriors, and he can't brush up his thirtieth frontcourt rebounds.
So, relatively speaking, this game is more useful for Ibaka, and this game is more worth using on Ibaka than on him.
The Warriors have had a terrible season in the NBA.
The team has played 55 games so far, but the team has a 5-50 record.
This record, that's really bad earth-shattering.
"A team with such a bad record can have such an attendance rate of over 100 percent, and Mike Beasley's performance this season has been amazing."
"That's true, the Warriors have only won five games this season, but Beasley has averaged 30 games per game this season, scored more than 20+ in 55 consecutive games, and the average of 30 points per game in his rookie season is the third in the NBA in the last decade after YES and Durant, and the rookie with 55 consecutive games of 20+ is the second in NBA history after YES."
"With great strength, outstanding talent and a saint-like character, Beasley has an incredible record in Golden State and Auckland."
"Yes, because of the Warriors' poor record, Beasley's popularity and popularity in the United States and around the world are a little bit lower, but in Golden State in Oakland, Beasley is definitely the best."
"I heard that Nike, Adidas and Yes Sports are already in talks with Beasley about signing sneakers, and Beasley is likely to be another rookie player with his own signed sneakers after James, yes, Roy, and Durant."
This game between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Warriors is a game that is broadcast live across the United States.
The Warriors are the bottom of the West and the bottom of the league, and it's hard to win a game.
The SuperSonics are now sixth in the West, a powerhouse in the league.
In such a game, the winner and loser are actually very clear.
In such a clear game, there is no suspense about the outcome of the game, and as the commentary of this game, Barkley and Kenny Smith are racking their brains to shape the highlights of this game.
Seriously, apart from the scoring battle between Beasley and yes, the highlight of this game is really not much to watch.
So, before the start of this game, when the players of the two teams were warming up, Barkley and Kenny Smith were really good at boasting about Beasley.
Only by praising Beasley to the sky will the audience in front of the TV believe that Beasley may really be a rookie player on the same level as yes.
In fact, Beasley's performance in the NBA this season has really given many fans in the United States and around the world high expectations.
Didn't ESPN just investigate who is the successor of Yes in this world, and who is the most like Yes?
After the results of the ESPN online survey came out, it really blinded the eyes of a bunch of people.
Originally, the only candidates for this survey of ESPN were Ross and Curry.
Rose is the hottest rookie in the NBA this season, and Curry is the hottest player in the NCAA right now.
ESPN is to rub the heat of these two.
However, the first fan on the Internet is not fifteen, but the second is not satisfied with the two hot options of ESPN.
"I think there's one guy who's more like yes than these two, and I nominated Mike Beasley for the Warriors."
It's not fifteen, it's the second, such a big V takes the initiative to send the heat over, and ESPN can't help but rub it.
I really added Beasley as a food delivery option.
"No, number two, is there a feud with Beasley? Actually put Beasley over and send it? β
A lot of people said that at the time.
But in the end, Beasley actually beat Curry and Rose with 50% of the beauty.
"Curry's shooting is like yes, Rose's athleticism is like yes, but the most similar to yes in character is Beasley, and the most important reason why yes has such a big achievement now is yes's character."
The words that it is not fifteen is the second are really recognized by the six billion coconut flour.
So, the previous formula was yes = Ross + Curry, and now the yes formula has become Ross + Curry + Beasley.
In the last game against the Sonics, Beasley did not have the title of yes successor.
However, now he is actually saddled with the title of yes successor!
This is really something that Beasley doesn't even know what to say.
It's not fifteen, it's the second true TM.
Whether Lao Tzu is a saint or not, Lao Tzu still doesn't know!
yes That's a real saint, Lao Tzu is completely forced!
After Lao Tzu has money, the saint of Nima beep, Lao Tzu will stop acting!
Having said that, now, the gentle smile on Beasley's face, and the compassionate expression that he carries all the time, really amazed Yes.
"Yes, I know we're still going to lose, but our spirit is never going to lose, and I'm going to beat you in this fight."
He is really a player who is humble and moderate, and always makes people feel fighting spirit and upward force.
"Mike, your opponent today is not me."
Of course I know it's not you, I'll just talk about it, and you don't take it seriously, race with the supersonics, who doesn't know, it's going to beat Ibaka that garbage!
"Sergi is not the same now as he was before."
"Really? I'll see. β
Beasley blinked, some regret on his face.
At the same time, looking to the side, Ibaka's expression was appreciative.
Is Ibaka different from before?
Beasley was a little dismissive.
From a small ditch to a slightly larger one?
Beasley is very, very dismissive.
It's not KD, just a player of Ibaka's type, no one can look at him in front of him except KD!
He's not even arrogant!
He's called self-confidence!
The game is over.
132-116, the Seattle SuperSonics beat the Warriors away.
"It was an almost predetermined result before the game."
"Mike Beasley scored another 40+ in this game against the SuperSonics, Beasley scored 55 points in this game, congratulations to Beasley, this is his 56th consecutive 20+ game!"
The game was won.
Ibaka is keen to make his presence visible in front of Beasley.
Ibaka is also keen to make his presence visible in the game.
But for him now, Beasley is indeed too big to approach.
Not to mention that Ibaka's current ability is barely getting the C level, I'm afraid that when Ibaka's ability reaches the B level, it will not be easy to show his presence in front of Beasley.
"Find the goal, don't be frustrated, there will be opportunities in the future."
yesοΌ
There will be opportunities in the future......
In the future, do I really have a chance?
