Chapter 465: Born Second and Mission Accomplished
"Mr. Nelson, the atmosphere in the team is a little bit bad right now."
At the training hall of the Seattle SuperSonics, the team's assistant coach Scott Brooks looked at the superSonics players training in the training field with a solemn face.
Aside from the training and interaction of Durant, Sessions and Yes, there was little interaction between the other players.
Even David Lee, who is usually the most active in the team, now looks worried.
As the team's head coach, Nelson Sr. certainly knows what's going on with the superSonics right now.
The team suffered two straight defeats after losing to the Boston Celtics.
The current record has also changed to 26 wins and 4 losses.
Although the supersonic record has slowly become no longer a threat to the rocket and the sun.
But it is still firmly in third place in the league and third in the West.
For the SuperSonics, the record has never been something that changes the atmosphere of the team.
Even a record of 26 wins and 4 losses is already a huge surprise for the SuperSonics.
Let the supersonic become like this early this morning, not because of two consecutive defeats and losses such a thing.
It's a question of the way to lose to the Boston Celtics.
After the defeat of the Cavaliers in the Christmas game, the media across the United States has been hyping whether the SuperSonics are a team of historical proportions.
Of course, there is no one player to rely on in a team at the historical level.
But in addition to Yes, there really is no recognized second player that the supersonic can rely on.
After that, the media began to roll out hypersound.
Milicic, David Lee, Durant, Rondo and even Millsap.
Yes is a player that can be relied on, and the media across the United States has ordered five.
The whole world knows that these players named by the national media are the same players who can now compete for the second position of the SuperSonics.
Although none of these players said anything after being so named by the media across the United States.
But it's really all about competing with each other.
The second leader next to Yes, Pippen next to Yes, this name and status are still very attractive in the supersonic team.
Don't talk about these five, old Nelson can actually see it.
Even the last man on the team like Sessions has the idea that I can do it.
It's just that he didn't have a chance to get on.
It can only be said that in hypersound, Yes is too prominent, while others are relatively not so prominent.
Everyone was brought out by Yes, why are you better than me? Why am I inferior to you?
Aren't you just a bigger ass than me, much more big than me?
The media across the United States wants to launch public opinion after the Christmas War, where the supersonic Suns and rockets compete side by side.
I am afraid that they themselves did not think that it would actually provoke a dispute between the second in the supersonic team.
In the past, when everyone was still poor, there was really no need to fight for the position of second supersonic.
Who cares who is the second oldest team in the West?
But right now, the SuperSonics aren't the eighth-best team in the West.
Even if the superSonics are not as good as the Suns and the Rockets, they are third in the third league in the West.
What's more, everyone's data is not as bleak as before.
Milicic last season 20 + 10 + 2.5, this season's number of shots is declining, and the average data per game has also become an average of 15 + 10 + 2.5 per game, but this season Milicic got a much higher evaluation than last season Milicic received, Milicic averaged 20 points per game last season with a waste of Yes a lot of god-level passes, not only the shooting rate is not so high, but also a lot of mistakes.
After Milicic did not have these shortcomings this season, he was full of advantages, and in the game, Milicic was no longer the kind of single means of scoring, and the means of scoring began to slowly become richer.
Last season, Milicic entered the All-Star, but most people do not recognize that Milicic has the strength of an All-Star, but the West needs a backup center, and Milicic has the best stats, so he is on.
But this season, judging from the first two votes of the All-Star this season and the comments of expert media, Milicic has more votes than Oden in the center position, second only to Yao Ming, and ranks second in the West.
Judging from the public opinion of the expert media, although Milicic's reputation is not as good as Oden, it is much better than last season.
If Milicic met Oden last season, the wind review would definitely be killed by Oden.
This season in the West, because of Oden, the Lakers' Bynum has also risen, and Stoudemire has officially played the position of center, it is difficult to say whether Milicic can continue to be an All-Star, but Milicic's strength can indeed compete for the boss of a team.
And before these media roll calls, Milicic was also the second most solensive of the supersonic.
But now, such acquiescence and tacit understanding have been broken by these media across the United States.
The others suddenly realized that you don't all think that Milicic is the second in the supersonics.
It turns out that we can also compete for the second place in the supersonic!
Compared to Milicic, Rondo, Durant, David Lee and Millsap are indeed relatively poor.
But since there is hope, no one will give up this attractive position.
What's more, these four are not so much worse than Milicic's statistics, or even better.
For example, Durant, regardless of Durant's shooting and shooting percentage, Durant is now averaging 32.5 points per game, ranking first in the league's scoring list!
And he averaged two points per game ahead of Iverson, who was second on the scoring list.
According to this trend, Durant's new scoring champion is a little out at the end of the season.
As for Rondo, this season has not had as many balls as last season.
But this season's Rondo stats are much better than last season's.
He averaged 8 points and 8.5 assists per game, shooting 41 percent from the field and 31 percent from three-point range.
In the league's assists list, Rondo is also fifth in the league behind Paul, Delon and Kidd, and Yes.
With almost half the ball in possession and almost the same number of assists as last season, Rondo is no longer ridiculed for being over-shot to brush up on statistics.
More people are starting to pay attention to Rondo's passing ability.
And Rondo's passing ability is really good.
According to experts across the country, Rondo's passing has finally worked out after Yes was fed with the ball for a season last season.
In addition to Milicic, Durant and Rondo, David Lee's stats are also quite outstanding.
The season is still a solid average of 10+10 per game, and an average of 10+10 per game for two consecutive seasons, which is not much in the entire NBA.
What's more, David Lee has played less minutes and taken fewer shots this season than last season.
But this guy can average 10+10 per game.
You don't know how he got those stats, but he can average two doubles per game.
You feel like he's been blown up by all kinds of strongmen as long as he's on the court, but in terms of data, he never suffers.
The only players who can average 10+10 per game so far this season are Duncan, Garnett, Howard, Al Jefferson, Okafor, Boozer, Marion, Randolph, David Lee, and Milicic.
Looking at these players who are tied with David Lee, David Lee's stats are not inadequate to be the second leader of any team.
Compared with the previous four, the named Millsap is much worse in terms of data, with an average of 9+8 per game data that is very good among the league's bench players, but the second child of a team like the SuperSonics is a little unqualified.
So when Millsap was named, he was surprised.
However, surprise is surprise, and there must be ideas.
Even Sessions had that thought, so why couldn't he have it?
Even if you don't fight, you can always think about it, right? What if?
After the national media named the superSonics' second hand, these superSonics players are really ready to sprint to the superSonics' second position.
It's like the supersonic sprint to the position of the leader of the alliance and being tied down at the beginning.
These supersonic players all fell miserably in this sprint.
When being named by these media, everyone felt as if they were really a character.
It's not complacent, as long as the team has Yes, no one can be complacent.
But there is still a little bit of fluttering.
What kind of player is the second in a historic team like the Bulls?
That's Pippen!
Top 50 great players of all time!
As long as you determine the status of supersound, the status of Yes, and when you retire, you will be in the top 50 in history!
I, Milicic/Rondo/Durant/David Lee/Millsap, could be one of the 50 greatest players in NBA history in the future!
As long as you think of it, what young person can refuse such a temptation?
It's not like you're rushing forward desperately!
But this rush, the front is directly faced by the Trailblazers and the Celtics is two mallets!
It's really miserable!
Especially against Celtic.
After the game, except for Yes, every player looked at their technical statistics and wanted to find the hole to go straight into.
If you want to be the second child next to Yes, of course you can't face the abuse of the weak team.
What is needed is help for Yes at a critical moment.
What is needed is combat effectiveness in the face of a strong enemy.
The Celtics are a strong opponent, and this game against the Celtics is also a key battle after the loss, and if they win, they can continue to put pressure on the Suns and Rockets.
So before this game against the Celtics, every supersonic player was gearing up.
Not only these five players who were named by the media to compete for the second place, but others also wanted to show off in such a game.
But what is the end result?
Milicic shot 3-of-11, 7 points, 9 rebounds and 1 block, was topped by Perkins and covered by Garnett, and the whole game was terrible.
Rondo was 0 in 8, 2 points, 6 assists and 6 rebounds, facing Pierce's defense on the offensive end, he was pinched by Pierce, he couldn't run away, he couldn't bump into it, and the small movements he learned from Paul were useless, Pierce didn't seem to be afraid of pain, and the magic skill of 3.5 seconds and 13 pinching that Rondo learned from Paul pinched when facing Pierce.
David Lee shot 2 of 6, 10 points and 10 rebounds, and his daily average of 10+10 per game was completed, but his data had no impact on the game at all, if it wasn't for the data after the game, I didn't know that David Lee had a double-double in front of Garnett and Perkins.
The Celtics' bench is not very strong now, and it should have been the stage for Millsap to play, but in this game, he was unexpectedly educated by Glen Davis in the duel with Celtics substitute player Glen Davis.
Of the five named second-in-the-second, only Durant looks like a second-in-law when facing a strong team of the Celtics' level.
He shot 12-of-36, 6-of-19 three-pointers and 6-of-6 free throws, and finished with 36 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 block.
In terms of shooting percentage, Durant's data is also miserable, with a shooting rate of 33.3%, compared with 40% of how he throws it recently, the iron is very obvious.
But regardless of his hit rate, his stats are indeed like that, and they can be quite handy.
In fact, from the sensory point of view of the game, Durant is also the second most consistent player in the game in the face of super defense and super confrontation.
Against the Trail Blazers, Durant's performance was not very good, and he was also a little iron, but he was still the second-best player in the SuperSonics.
It's the same superghost, and the other supersonic players are real ghosts.
Durant, on the other hand, has a pretty bottom line.
Durant is the only point of stability that the SuperSonics can now rely on when facing a strong opponent at a critical moment!
Two games are rare, but if you add the fourth-quarter game against the Cavaliers, Durant alone withstood James' onslaught, allowing the SuperSonics to come to such a conclusion.
And that's why the atmosphere within the supersonic team has become so strange now.
Co-author, the team's most second-class player is Du Fifteen, who has been disgusted by us for more than half a year?!
It's uncomfortable!
In the supersonic training hall, everyone of the supersonic players was silently conducting their own training, but everyone was secretly observing the No. 35 player who was holding his head high, although he looked paralyzed, but his ears were erect.
This kid is so badly beaten!
With this kind of goods, where does he look like a second child better than us?!
I'm really not convinced!
The gaze that flocked to Durant from all directions became more and more intense.
The more intense, the firmer Durant's chest becomes.
Ye Si was speechless when he saw the side.
Sessions, on the other hand, had a complicated face.
Originally, he thought that KD would need to go to the CBA on the other side of China to find it if he wanted to regain his dignity.
I really didn't expect that so soon, KD would get his dignity.
He doesn't quite understand that KD, like everyone else, is mediocre in talent, why is he more like the second child than everyone else in the game?
I don't understand, I really don't understand!
Don't understand?
That's right if you don't understand!
Durant pricked up his ears to receive Yes's pass and threw it out with Maddy's movements, Maddy's chic on Durant's body was not at all, but pretending to be cold was still a little handsome.
Looking at the basketball that hit, a smile appeared on Durant's lips.
It's not that I'm blowing it to you, since AUU, I've started my career as a second player, and when I got to high school and college, I was still recognized as the second best, and I was also selected with the second pick in the draft, and now in the SuperSonics, I'm also the second best player.
I, Kevin Durant, was born the second!
I'll just ask you if you're convinced!
This look is really a little handsome.
Ye Si was a little surprised.
Well?
Surprised, Ye Si found that the task of Durant's second child was actually completed.
