The defending champions have lost four straight preseasons and have lost by at least 15 points per game.

Look at the pile of 'the weakest defending champion in history!' As the head coach of the SuperSonics, Nelson Sr. is really a little hot.

This result is indeed a little worse.

As the oldest head coach in the NBA, the elder Nelson is certainly past the stage of watching the preseason results.

The preseason game is actually not that important to the Seattle SuperSonics, and if it did, Yees would not have played none of these four preseason games.

It's just that the preseason is not important, not to mention that being beaten by the four Western Fish Belly teams last season in the game really embarrassed him, the head coach of the SuperSonics.

In this year's preseason, Nelson Sr. was going to look at the team's new players.

So the new players have a bit more playing time, and the poor record in the preseason has a lot to do with that.

But four new players, three crotch pulls, this is really a little unexpected for the old Nelson.

Harden is mediocre, Ibaka and Ingles just don't know what to do, and only Gasol Jr. is still acting like that in the game.

Now in the news reports and public opinion, it is said that the reuse of Ibaka and James Harden is a Yes request.

This is a bit wronged.

Yes is on the training court, he is very much in the interest of Ibaka and Harden, but Yes respects his choice in the team's lineup, as long as he doesn't ask, Yes will never use his influence on the team to ask who he must start in the game.

These four games that made supersonic fans and coconut fans around the world laugh and cry, Harden and Ibaka and Ingles Gasol Jr. played for so long, it was his own choice.

With Durant's injury, David Lee and Kwame Brown are leaving.

The Seattle SuperSonics have a bit of a gap in their roster this season.

At the very least, the team has one starting small forward spot and two important rotation spots.

Who can take all three positions in the team?

For example, who can play the position of starting small forward?

Quentin Richardson?

Quentin Richardson's physical function is still declining, and although he is not yet 30 years old, his body has been somewhat devastated by Larry Brown during his time in New York.

Now Quentin Richardson's body is like an old man in his thirties, and although Quentin Richardson has been working hard, he still can't control his increasing weight.

Now Quentin Richardson can no longer take on the responsibility of starting the team, he can't play too long high-intensity games, but let him play a fake starter, this is not his coaching philosophy, he has never been very willing to put a fake starter in the team.

The SuperSonics don't need Quentin Richardson as a fake starter either.

Quentin Richardson now has two years left on his contract with the team, and Quentin Richardson himself plans to retire from the team after the end of his contract.

Quentin Richardson is now a substitute scorer on the team, and it is very qualified to make a few minutes of special kills on the bench.

As for the starters, that's really it.

Quentin Richardson was the team's starting power forward before Durant, and now that's the case, but what about the old men on other teams?

Damion Wilkins and Quentin Richardson are complete opposites, Quentin Richardson is physically unable to keep up, and Wilkins is completely intellectually fundamental.

It's not that the head coach of his team is privately saying that his players are not good.

This is really a fact, the nephew of this human movie essence, the physical talent is really not to be said.

Before he came to SuperSonics as head coach, the head coach before SuperSonics also thought about correcting him, but in the end they all gave up.

In the NBA, the ball quotient is the most important, and the IQ is really not the most important, but the premise is that the person has to have the ball quotient, and Wilkins is the typical type that belongs to the IQ and the ball quotient are in arrears.

When a bench bandit who doesn't care, he is qualified, no matter whether the opponent is the Rockets or the Spurs or the Lakers, if you want him to go up and cut people, he will never be afraid of whether he has cut or not, and he will go directly to the type with a knife.

Any team needs a player like that.

Such a player will surprise you, but you can't rely on such a player as a regular basis.

In addition to Wilkins and Richardson, the team's other old man who can play as a small forward is Tucker.

The thought of Tucker's situation gave Nelson Sr. a headache.

This kid's offense is definitely the worst of the players he's coached!

Tucker is good at everything, but this offense is really spicy!

Although there is progress under Yes's tutelage, it can't become a regular starter yet, and it still has to be honed for at least a few years.

Put him in the position now, Yes will be caught in the starting lineup to death!

The team's five starters, the two people on the outside are players who can't attack, the opponent's defense is simple, two people hit Yes, three people shrink the basket, and when the time comes, the Seattle SuperSonics can only stare dryly on the court!

Of course, although Tucker can't be a starter now, he is still an indispensable piece of the puzzle for the Seattle SuperSonics, and he has a key role in many key moments.

After Durant's injury, the elder Nelson really felt extremely fortunate after reviewing the team's lineup, but he didn't expect the team to have such a big problem in the small forward position.

Fortunately, Yes found a gap in the team's small forward position last season, so he was crazy about developing Durant.

Assuming that Yes hadn't predictively cultivated Durant and cultivated Durant into a talent last season, what would the SuperSonics look like in the playoffs?

Not to mention the championship, even the first round may not pass.

Now that the West is strong, which team doesn't have a strong small forward?

If you don't have a strong small forward on your team, you won't be able to move an inch!

It's just that......

Thinking of Durant's injury last season, the old Nelson is extremely sad.

Yes is very, very good to be able to anticipate the problems that will arise at supersonic speeds.

But if you can't stand God, you really don't give face.

The players you have worked so hard to cultivate are folded for you like this.

It is said that the purgatory difficulty is higher than the difficulty of hell, which is really not unreasonable.

Now they all say Yes likes to double the difficulty of their careers.

Last season, I also kept saying yes, why not develop someone else to develop Durant.

These people also don't want to think about it, did the SuperSonics have other players besides Durant to develop last season?

Can anyone else in the SuperSonics this season be a small forward other than James Harden and Ibaka?

Yes, what can I do if I don't focus on cultivating these two people?

Richardson, Wilkins and Tucker have not been trained, one is already old, the other is not good at IQ and ball quotient, and there is no way to cultivate, and the other progress bar is too slow to be cultivated in the short term.

It can be said that James Harden and Sergio Ibaka plus Ingles are the only three solutions to the team's small forward position.

If there is a choice, among the three, even him, he will focus on developing Ibaka and Harden.

Compared with Ibaka and Harden, although these two have their own shortcomings, they still have advantages.

James Harden, after finding that the opponent's strong scorer was targeting him in these four games, he was very decisive on the court, and he couldn't be humiliated, after being scored by the opponent or by the opponent, James Harden stared at the side with wide eyes and a shocked look, which was both funny and funny.

Nelson Sr. didn't believe James Harden was deliberately cross-legged or pretending to be stunned and staring.

He believes that this is all James Harden's real reaction and real emotions.

This kid's attributes of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages in the ball business seem to be engraved into his bones.

If Wilkins' ball IQ and IQ are both bottoms, and Tucker's low offensive attributes are the only ones he has seen in his coaching career, then the attributes of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages engraved on Harden's body and even his soul are also the only ones he has seen in his coaching career.

It is precisely because it is the first time he has seen such a player, so he really doesn't know how to develop this advantage of Harden......

Harden's advantage is a black hole on the defensive end, Harden himself may really want to work the defensive end, but his body and soul will always subconsciously retreat or hesitate, isn't this a defensive black hole?

As for the offensive end......

He is also a very accomplished head coach on offense, and now I really don't know how Harden's natural attribute can be used in offense.

Seek advantages and avoid disadvantages......

Drill holes like loaches?

Drill a hole out of no hole?

He's really something not too clear now.

Anyway, now Yes has contracted James Harden's growth.

He has a lot of respect for Yes's basketball wisdom.

That's right, not appreciation, it's respect.

Yes's understanding of basketball is stronger than that of a person who has coached more than two games in many games, and has experienced games combined!

And it's a lot stronger!

You know, none of the games he experienced in the NBA were non-standard regular seasons, and the more than 3,000 games he experienced in the NBA were close to 350 playoff games and nearly 40 finals!

And many of his playoffs and Finals were learned from Cardinal, the NBA's all-time No. 1 head coach.

Cardinal is an all-rounder who can do both offense and defense, and that's what he's been a jack of all trades for a long time.

That's how he is, the cardinal's descendant, is actually a little inferior to Yes in his understanding of basketball.

Sometimes Yes really makes Nelson Sr. feel that basketball talent is really too important!

He has worked so hard, how can the experience of more than 3,000 NBA games not be compared to Yes, a young man who has played a mere game?

Diligence can make up for clumsiness, in front of Yes, always makes old Nelson feel like a deceit.

Nelson Sr. felt that since he could find this shining point in James Harden, Yes must have found it, or even discovered it a long time ago.

After all, Harden has long been training in the supersonics.

Otherwise, how could Yes just like Harden's big there, and Yes is not so vulgar.

Now it's up to Yes to develop this talent attribute of James Harden.

As for Ibaka, he is not as difficult to understand as Harden, Ibaka is a player who can be read very easily.

Now the so-called experts in the newspapers can interpret Ibaka quite thoroughly, let alone his veteran coach who has been in the NBA for so many years.

Most of what these guys say is right.

Serge Ibaka showed a very, very low ball quotient in the game, that's true.

It's true that Serge Ibaka showed very, very bad technique in the game.

But that doesn't mean Ibaka is a player with the same IQ as Wilkins.

Ibaka is either the kind of ball IQ waste who has practiced basketball for many years, or he can't practice his skills and can't even practice free throws.

Ibaka is like this because he plays too few games and trains too little.

In Africa, before the age of 15, he was begging for food, and then he was found by his agent and sold to Europe, but in Europe, Ibaka was treated like pork, and his agent brought him from this team to that team, constantly playing the game of the highest price.

With such an experience, Ibaka almost never had the opportunity to systematically learn what basketball is.

It's true that he's almost 20 years old now, but his basketball career can be considered almost zero!

Even his basketball career is not as good as an average American high school student.

Isn't it normal for such a player, who shows himself a very, very low basketball IQ on the court, as if he were an idiot, and behaves like a waste on the court?

No matter how talented a person is, in front of a group of university professors in kindergarten, he is also an idiot.

Of course, Ibaka seems to have gone to college, but her ability is still kindergarten, so it's understandable that she was scolded like this.

It's true that Ibaka's current ability is not good, and as for whether his future is really as these people say, it is already useless.

Nelson Sr. disagreed.

Ibaka is so talented, and he has been kicked out of other NBA teams for tryouts, which means that these teams feel that he is so old and has to start kindergarten, and his life is indeed wasted.

Seriously, even if it was him, he didn't know how to develop an older kindergarten player like Ibaka or an older elementary school player.

But now it's Yes who has taken over the training of Ibaka......

Obviously, Yes also saw that Ibaka's traits were not because of the IQ problem, Yes definitely didn't look at Ibaka because of his length and hardness, Yes was not so vulgar.

It's just that......

Old Nelson also really sighed.

There are really too many problems in the small forward position of the team, so many that he doesn't know what to do.

Old Nelson is sad now.

So the next day, he gave all his sorrows to Yes.

"Yes, why don't you take it with Joe and Mark?"

“……”

Yes, who was training with James Harden and Ibaka, looked at Ingles and Gasol Jr. brought by Nelson Sr. and didn't know what to say.
