Chapter 414: Powerful Yes and Spicy-Eyed Durant
The Grizzlies' starting point is strong!
Such a strong starter can only draw with the supersonic starter after the first quarter.
This made Grizzlies head coach Stotz worried.
He wants to beat Yes in this game!
He wanted to get rid of the resentment of being knocked out of Yes last season!
He wants to get rid of the ambition of last season and the resentment that the team he worked so hard to build was dissipated by Yes!
Stotts was pleased with the performance of the Grizzlies starters in the first quarter.
But they've all performed so well, and they still haven't been able to take the lead!
At the start of the second quarter, the Seattle SuperSonics rotated Barria, Quentin Richardson, Wilkins, Millsap and Kwame Brown.
The rotation lineup on the Grizzlies' side is Kyle Lowry, Chaki Atkins, Juan Carlos Navarro, Cardinal, and Hakeem Varik.
The Grizzlies also have a luxurious rotation, with Chaki Atkins being the Grizzlies' best sixth man last season, and the 1.80m small guard averaged 13 points per game last season.
Juan Carlos Navarro is one of the best defenders in Europe, and he is the main defender who won the World Championship in Spain last year.
Hakeem Varik was an important rotation player for the Grizzlies at the forward position last season, averaging 13 points and five rebounds per game.
Even Cardinal is a very experienced and good rotation.
Perhaps the worst player in the entire Grizzlies rotation is Kyle Lowry.
Lowry played just nine games in his rookie season last season before the season was reimbursed.
The Grizzlies' rotation lineup is very strong, but since it will make Stotts worried, this shows that the Grizzlies' rotation lineup is naturally problematic.
The biggest problem with the Grizzlies' rotation is height and defense.
Lowry 1.85m, Atkins 1.80m, Navarro 1.91m, Cardinal 2.03m, Warik 2.06m.
The Grizzlies don't have a true center on their rotational lineup.
The league's center resources are very scarce right now.
Jerry West also wants to make up for the Grizzlies' shortcomings as a center.
But there is no suitable candidate in the free agency market in the summer, and in the trade market, high-quality centers are not the chips that the Grizzlies can exchange for.
However, even if the center position is flawed, it can't hide the strength of the Grizzlies' rotation.
There are three players who can average more than 10+ points per game in their prime, and they can really do whatever they want.
And the Grizzlies' rotation lineup is surprisingly fast.
In terms of the speed of the Grizzlies' rotation lineup, even if the opponent really has an advantage inside, he may not be able to grasp it.
If you can't keep up with the speed, even if you have an advantage, you can only be chased and beaten!
Unless the opponent's big center has a very good ability to play singles and strong, and most teams do not have such an ability to rotate centers.
Therefore, after the game entered the rotation lineup, Jerry West, who came to the Key Arena with the team in the stands, was very calm.
The SuperSonics and most of the league couldn't grasp the weaknesses of the Grizzlies' rotation lineup.
And that's why he refused to trade for a so-called 'quality' center.
With the current situation of the league's center position, he is not willing to exchange Lowry for a false center who can only stand on the court and maintain the so-called center position.
It's just that Jerry West's ideas don't represent Stotts' ideas.
The Grizzlies' rotation is the best in the league.
The SuperSonics' rotation is the worst rotation the league has had.
Now that the SuperSonics have Quentin Richardson and Kwame Brown in their rotation, it's probably not the worst.
But there is still a gap with the grizzly bears.
It's just that after the game restarted, the situation on the field was quite surprising.
Even Yes was stunned by Millsap on the pitch.
"Is Paul's frontcourt rebounding so good?!"
"Not only frontcourt rebounds, but also shots and footwork, is Paul that strong?"
Millsap showed a very good frontcourt rebounding ability last season.
That was the only thing he will remember last season.
Other than that, Millsap has never shown the ability to do anything in a single game!
Frontcourt rebounds, secondary offenses, shots and even shots!
It's not so superb, but in the face of a flawed Grizzly rotation, it's really doing whatever you want.
Amazing!
"This is Millsap?!"
Surely this isn't O'Neal who can shoot?!
Barkley and Kenny Smith in the commentary box were stunned.
It stands to reason that now should be the time for the Grizzlies to pull points.
The Grizzlies' rotation can really attack.
But the Grizzlies, who are so capable of attacking, can only be on par with the supersonic after being blown up by Millsap on the inside.
If you have to distinguish between high and low, the grizzly bears only have a slight advantage!
"Millsap was really forced to train by Yes!"
The media reporters and spectators at the scene, as well as the audience in front of the TV, were the first to think like this.
As far as the ability that Millsap showed last season, the average NBA team has long been thrown away, where can you get close to 20 minutes of playing time!
And not only averaging 20 minutes per game, Yes sometimes goes to rotate the lineup to teach Millsap in hand.
If it weren't for Rondo, Millsap would be the happiest and luckiest player in NBA history.
If Millsap can still perform like tonight in the future, Yes cultivated him with all his painstaking training last year, then it will really be a success!
Will Millsap be able to play the way he is today against other teams?
No one knows.
Facing a rotation lineup of the Grizzlies' level, if it were changed to last season, Ye Si would be forced to play after resting for two or three minutes below.
Otherwise, it will definitely be spent.
Ye Si really didn't expect that he would see a day when his teammates in the rotation lineup would be evenly matched with the top rotation lineup in the league so soon.
Of course, the Grizzlies are a little special, and Yes can certainly see that Millsap is somewhat restrained by the Grizzlies' rotation lineup.
The Grizzlies rotation lineup doesn't have a point that can match Millsap.
This is the reason why Millsap can go on a killing spree and do whatever he wants.
Three minutes were played in the second quarter, and the supersonic side took the lead in substitutions.
Durant replaced Kwame Brown, who didn't play much on the court.
Kwame Brown is too hesitant to attack, and the defense is a little unable to keep up, Kwame Brown is not slow, but the Grizzlies are really fast, and the three small guards run like flying.
Kwame Brown played quite the court.
There was no problem with replacing Kwame Brown, but seeing Kwame Brown off the court and Durant on the court, the supersonic fans who were amazed by Millsap were a little suffocated.
This season, Durant has twice as many shots as Yes, and Yes is willing to give Durant his chances, and they can't care about it.
But in addition to the opportunity to make a shot, the most difficult thing for them to complain about and accept is that Durant has more playing time than Yes!
What does that mean?
As long as you are not a fool, you can see that Durant's playing time does not represent how important he is to the SuperSounds.
It's all SuperSonics making up a hand for Durant!
Now who doesn't know that Durant's minimum consumption per game is 30 times!
If you don't get 30 shots in a game, don't want to get off the court.
There's no problem with Durant taking a lot of shots, it's Yes's choice, creating opportunities and having no problem shooting and passing himself.
But many of Durant's shots weren't shots that created opportunities.
If you exclude those shots that the supersonic forces Durant to make up the numbers, maybe Durant's average number of shots per game can be less than 5 times!
With five fewer shots, Durant might have scored five more points with Yes and the Hypersonics!
In the first quarter of this game, Durant only took 7 shots and scored 6 points on 2-of-7 shooting.
In the NBA, even if it is a supergiant, 7 shots in a game is not a small amount.
But for Durant, he really didn't complete his minimum spend on shots in a quarter.
He needed to throw a few more in the second quarter.
Now the supersonic rotation lineup is playing very well, and this suddenly adds a Durant, which makes the supersonic fans on the scene a little disgusted.
Durant can certainly feel the disgust of supersonic fans, he is so sensitive.
He doesn't want to shoot so much every game if he could.
But it can't be helped, this is Yes's trust!
Make a minimum of 30 shots per game, which is also the task of Yes!
Yes is using his actions, in order to cultivate him, for the sake of trust, to make the whole world hostile, in the face of the pressure of the whole world, how can he retreat?!
He wants to prove to the world that Yes's trust and nurturing in him is not wrong!
Sooner or later, he can become Yes's Pippen!
Looking at the player in front of him who was at least 2.08 meters shooting in front of him, Navarro was desperate, he was only 1.91 meters!
And this guy is still a jumper!
Do you want to bully people like this?!
In the face of such a bullying style of play, Navarro could do nothing but stick it up and try to give the last trace of interference to this big tall man.
In terms of his strength and confrontation, he didn't think that his closeness was of any use, it was just his last cry of despair.
Bang!
The basketball that Durant threw with his open hand smashed the blue neck.
Durant:......
Navarro:......
Supersonic Spectator: ......
Viewers in front of the TV: ......
Bryant:......
At the moment when Durant was lost, the broadcast camera on the scene immediately focused on Yes, who was sitting off the court.
The language of this lens is also amazing!
Kobe Bryant swears that as long as Yes has the slightest frown or the slightest displeasure on his face, the public opinion that Durant faces tomorrow will be shocking!
Although the public opinion that Durant is facing now is more terrifying than the public opinion he faced in 2004.
Durant, this kid is really an amazing person.
With so many opportunities he got in the first few games, any first-round rookie can shoot more than 45% from the field, and he, the worst iron god who has been hacked, may be able to shoot up to 50%.
Durant is good, shooting 34 percent.
If someone in his team had wasted the chances he created like this, his eyes would have widened.
Don't stare at you, you don't know the death stare of the Black Mamba!
Just now Durant faced Navarro's iron shot, he absolutely couldn't help it.
Yes, I can't help it!
It should be said that no one can stand it!
This broadcast footage, this is doing something!
But why am I so excited?!
I'm looking forward to Yes's frowning and unhappy look.
It's not easy to see some other emotions on the face of this kid Yes!
Well?!
Yes didn't frown, and there was not the slightest displeasure on his face, Yes was actually applauding!
Yes was clapping with a smile on his face!
It's satisfaction, it's encouragement, it's support!
"Yes, even if he hits the lore, the expression on his face has never been so rich, right?!"
Barkley doesn't even know what to say now.
Last season, it was said that Rondo was Yes's own mother.
Durant, what kind of treatment is this?!
This is what the die-hard Durant fan who is very popular on the Internet said, "It's not fifteen is second": Yes lost the world, but what he got was Yes!
How deep your hatred and hatred for KD is, how deep is your envy of KD!
In addition to the hype, this 'not fifteen is second' Durant die-hard fan is really quite philosophical when he speaks.
Be reasonable, don't talk about careful eyes and character issues.
With Yes's strength in cultivating Durant, dare to ask who in this world is not envious?!
Whether it's Oden sitting on the Grizzlies bench or Rondo sitting on the supersonic bench, their hearts are now crazy pantothenic acid!
Durant's arrival on the court shifted the focus from the court.
But Millsap's performance is even more conspicuous!
Without the opportunities created by Yes, in the face of Navarro, a small player of 1.91 meters, Durant's shooting rate is simply outrageous!
To what extent?
Maddie in front of the TV can't stand it anymore!
"Let me play Navarro, I can score 100 points! I'm talking about my rookie years! ”
Brag!
After Maddie finished speaking, Yao Ming and the others beside him complained in their hearts.
However, Durant's performance on the court is really unbearable.
A player who looks to have at least 2.06m faces a close defence of a 1.91m player.
4 in a row, 4 in a row, what is this?
Even if Navarro has some small actions, it won't affect anything at all?
Looking at the TV Durant constantly playing iron and Millsap constantly grabbing frontcourt rebounds, James laughed.
Previously, he had always felt that Durant was a rookie at the same level as his former teammate Shannon Brown, who was about the 26th pick in the first round.
Now James felt he needed to take back his earlier thoughts.
Even Shannon Brown couldn't have made this kind of miracle of hitting four irons in a round and allowing his teammates to grab four frontcourt rebounds.
Durant is known for his shooting!
If Durant's specialties are all like this.
That's so much fun!
He was amazed by the amazement of Millsap's game.
He really didn't expect Millsap to be trained by Yes.
I don't know what will happen to Millsap in the future, but in this game, Millsap is definitely a bandit-level existence.
It's amazing to turn a piece of garbage into a bench bandit.
But Durant's performance turned all his surprise into warm expectations!
Imagine that the all-American anticipation of 23vs9 came true in the Finals.
If his opponent was Durant, what would it look like?
He can crush this Yes 'Pippen'!
Yes actually selected a rookie in the second round or so with the Bangyan show, which is really laughable.
"It's garbage time, Durant is leaving Yes for the first time!"
"It turns out that a 34% shooting percentage is still too high for Durant, without those magical behind-the-head passes that Yes passes, this game is constantly playing against players like Navarro, this is Durant's real strength!"
"Durant has grown a great static talent for nothing!"
"Durant reminds me of Shannon Brown and James White, talent can really deceive the eye sometimes!"
"Don't insult Shannon Brown and James White, one of them on Yes' side may be Kobe Bryant and the other can be James!"
When Durant was crazy in the face of Navarro's close defense, not only Barkley and Kenny Smith, but also media commentators around the world were frantically complaining about Durant.
This iron is just spicy eyes!
Navarro himself didn't expect him to become a defensive sharpshooter and a defensive guru in the NBA.
This is really a foil for peers.
In the face of Durant's offense before, he was scared and desperate.
Now, in the face of Durant's offense, Navarro is full of anticipation.
If he faced Durant every game, could he be the best defensive player?
Of course, this is just a joke.
The Best Defensive Player will not be awarded to a player who has done a good job defending Durant.
To be awarded, it is also awarded to players who defend Yes or defend Kobe Bryant.
Six minutes were played in the second quarter, and when the time came to the official timeout of the second quarter, Durant's cheeks were burning as he came down the court.
If it weren't for the games to play, he would have been ready to get out of the court.
It was the worst game he played.
In the three minutes without Yes, he made a total of 6 shots, 1 of 6.
After four consecutive irons, his hit rate is actually not bad, 1 out of 2, but this really doesn't make any sense in terms of the overall hit rate.
So far, in the half, he has shot 3-of-13, which is a shooting percentage that can be found to get into the ground!
If it weren't for the encouragement and satisfaction and support that his sensitive heart felt from Yes, as long as Yes was a little dissatisfied with him, he wouldn't have the face to stay in SuperSonic.
Seeing that his teammates are ignoring him now except Yes and hiding away from him, Durant can really understand the thoughts of these teammates for the first time.
If his team had a teammate who was 10-of-30 and 3-of-13 at every turn, he would be very upset, right?!
He definitely doesn't have the kind of mind that Yes has, and forcibly led him to become the 'No. 1 outside group in history'!
The official timeout for the second quarter ended, a rare time in Yes's career that he had a full six-minute break in the second quarter.
When Yes returned to the court with the superSonics, the score was now 52-48.
Facing a super-rotation lineup of the Grizzlies' level, the SuperSonics rotation lineup only lost by 4 points.
It was really thanks to the performance of Millsap, who had 10 points and 9 rebounds in a single quarter.
Eight of the nine rebounds were frontcourt rebounds.
Durant alone contributed five.
The starters from both sides stood on the pitch again.
This made the supersonic fans at the scene very excited.
Although in this game, Millsap's stunning rotation lineup is also very good-looking.
Coupled with Durant's crazy iron, it is also very interesting.
It's heart-stopping to watch!
Although it is also heartbreaking to see Durant standing next to Yes, you can always see Yes's performance, right?
The game restarted in the second quarter, and Oden's eyes became even more unpleasant when he looked at Durant.
He had no way to play by the teacher's side, he admitted it, whoever let the teacher have a list in his hand, he is the champion.
What is Durant?!
Even if it was McConley standing next to the teacher, he recognized it, but why Durant?
As reported by USA Today, Durant doesn't see any qualities that can be favored by Yes other than being an expanded version of Rondo.
With Yes's passing ability, he cultivates who is not training, who he gives is not passing, and it is not that only Durant can receive these balls.
In that case, wouldn't it be better to choose a better player to develop?
Since the master didn't choose the best player, he chose the favorite player.
What kind of players does the teacher like?
Last season's Rondo has already given the answer.
As far as he knows, there are a lot of strange training courses in the United States now.
"Teach you how to look more like Rondo in thirty days!"
"With a slender body, huge hands, and an awkward character, do you want to be chosen by Yes? Aspiring to get into the NBA? As long as you meet the above qualities, even if you can't play basketball, we can let you be favored by Yes, enter the supersound, brush up the data, and get a big contract! ”
Now there is a 'Rondo fever' in the whole of America.
The teacher has now been carried away by players like Rondo!
No matter what, this game should also make the teacher fresh!
No matter how strong the teacher is, with such a player, it is impossible to realize his dream in the NBA!
Even though my teacher's dream and I are no longer together, I love that the teacher's dream can come true!
"I don't want to face the teacher in the future, I'm the champion, and the teacher has nothing!"
The Grizzlies and SuperSonics had a great and tense game.
Unexpected wonderful, but also unexpectedly nervous!
Before this match started, most people didn't expect this game to be played like this.
The advantage of the Grizzlies is too great, and the supersonic does not look like the slightest chance of winning.
The four games before the SuperSonics were excellent.
Most of the media in the U.S. are marveling at Yes's ability to lead the team.
Yes's ability to lead the team is really nothing to say.
This can be seen from last season's arrival at the Western Conference finals with the weakest team in history.
Now with a team that is weaker than last season, where is the limit of Yes?
If this game can beat the Grizzlies, then even if Durant drags his feet, it will give Coconut Powder and the Coconut Powder media huge expectations.
It is for this reason that this game is not just watched by fans across the United States.
David Stern is also watching.
SuperSonics' games this season are still very high.
But it's also true that superSonic's ratings are declining compared to last season.
Why is it going down?
It's not because the results of hypersonic are probably very bad.
A lot of fans don't want to see Yes lose and be embarrassed.
Human.
If SuperSonics can win this game against the Grizzlies, then this is a very huge shot in the arm!
Bring back those viewers who don't want to watch Yes embarrassment!
David Stern can be sure that as long as these guys are brought back again, SuperSonics will have higher ratings this season than they did last season.
What this meant while the broadcast contract was being negotiated was self-evident!
Supersonic beats Grizzlies?!
David Stern isn't a manager, but he's not a completely ignorant guy either.
It's an almost impossible task.
Even if you don't watch it before, just watch this game.
As far as this game shows, on the supersonic court, no one can compare to the Grizzlies alone except Yes!
This game between the SuperSonics and the Grizzlies is typical of Yes one man against Grizzlies one team!
The Grizzlies are constantly playing with their overall advantage.
On the supersonic side, it is constantly using the powerful strength of Yes.
Either break through Carter and attack it yourself, or throw it to Durant to attack.
It's not the first time for Yes to play a team by himself.
Not even the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth.
But how can the Grizzlies be comparable to those ordinary teams!
This team has to be talented, talented, capable, and have almost no weaknesses!
"After coming back, Oden played too strongly in the game!"
"Incredible height, incredible athleticism, is this a ball-handling offense that a big center can do? Milicic looked so sluggish in front of Auden! ”
Oden's overall quality is admirable, and Milicic is working hard defensively and is doing everything to keep Oden at bay.
But it always gives people a feeling of being a little slower and half a beat.
Watching Oden face Milicic's incredible performance, even supersonic fans were amazed.
"This is the first time Oden has shown his offensive desire in a game, and in the first few games he has focused more on the defensive end!"
"Oden proves that he can be the protagonist on the offensive end if he wants to!"
The protagonist on the offensive end?!
After Oden scored a goal, looking at the supersonic No. 9 who was running frantically to the frontcourt, whether it was Barkley or Kenny Smith, there was a look of alarm on his face.
The protagonist of the offensive end of the NBA?!
This talent is the protagonist of the offensive end of the NBA!
Even if this game has Durant, the current league's leading scorer.
Even if this game has the league's most powerful big monster in the future, Oden.
Now the protagonist of the offensive end of the NBA is just this person.
Everyone else is a supporting character!
As Yes runs, looking at the familiar pace and the familiar courage, Stotts' mind recalls the scene of his Bucks being swept away last season.
He knew too well what it meant that the picture that appeared in his dream again appeared again and did not know how many times!
"Grizzlies' players are already fast!"
"But they're still too tall!"
"Even Carter, he can't keep up with Yes!"
Looking at the No. 9 who was speeding farther and farther away, Rondo, who was standing in the backcourt and advancing slowly, glanced at the Durant next to him who asked him with his eyes why he didn't follow.
If you want to follow, you can follow yourself, and the second master will not accompany you!
Slut!
Seeing Rondo's eyes, Durant really felt like he was going to be an adult!
Everyone is accompanying Yes to play a fast attack, just drag you here, drag Nima!
Durant glared at Rondo angrily, didn't care about Rondo anymore, and ran straight to the frontcourt.
And just as Durant had just taken a few steps.
There was a whooshing sound in the air!
The orange basketball grazed his ears and flew past him!
A direct pass from such a distance?!
This guy is crazy?!
Why don't you throw it high?!
No matter how angry you are, you can't do this!
What if someone intercepts someone in the middle?!
Just when Durant was about to turn around and stare at Rondo, the fast-flying basketball actually passed through the interception of Battier and Mike Miller one after another, and went directly to Yes, who was running at the front!
Carter is already chasing back hard, as long as he is given a little chance, as long as Yes catches the ball or other moves a little slower, with his bounce, he has a chance to chase the block!
"Vince, be careful!"
"What?!"
Just as Carter was getting ready to block, a basketball passed through his ear.
"So fast?!"
This pass is too fast!
Yes's catch is too fast!
Bang!
Carter didn't give Carter any chance to block at all, and the figure he cared about jumped high and smashed the basketball into the basket!
"Speed! Velocity!! Velocity!!! ”
"Incredible attack speed!"
"Yes's speed can restrain the speed of a grizzly bear!"
"When the Grizzlies are playing fast, they can't defend Yes and use their speed to counter their counterattack!"
Looking at the man who fell from the basket, Carter looked horrified.
And Stotts on the sidelines also looked incredibly at the supersonic bench.
Old Nelson!
"Quite exciting, fast to fast!"
The supersonic tactic is too timely!
The most amazing and terrifying thing about the Grizzlies in this game is their combination of speed and height!
Yes's fast attack is a direct abolition of the Grizzlies' fast-paced play!
After the Grizzlies bring the rhythm up, it is impossible to stop a fast attack like Yes!
Rondo's long pass, Yes's speed, supersonic has the fastest counterattack speed in the league!
If the Grizzlies don't fall into positional warfare, then they will be killed by Yes with a fast attack!
If you fall into position, then the Grizzly Bear's efficiency will decrease!
Without the speed, the Grizzlies would never have been able to score as much as they did in the first quarter.
Grizzlies can't, but supersonic can!
The two teams fell into a positional battle, and the Grizzlies still couldn't solve Yes's ball control and breakthrough problems!
Grizzlies: No one can stop Yes's breakthrough!
Constant breakthroughs, constant jumps, constant shots, constant back-of-head passes!
Terrible!
That's amazing!
Old Nelson is awesome!
Yes, even more!
The Grizzlies are such a strong team, and they are actually suppressed by Yes alone!
Such an amazing grizzly bear was completely restrained tactically by Yes!
In this game, the supersonic can actually win?!
!
The Seattle SuperSonics defeated the mighty Grizzlies by nine points at home.
The moment the game ended, the key arena on the TV exploded!
Looking at the supersonic record and Yes data on TV, Kobe Bryant can very well understand the mood of supersonic fans now.
4-1 in 5 games, third in the West!
14-of-18 shooting, 38 points, 8 rebounds and 12 assists!
Almost perfect results, and almost perfect stats!
It's that Durant's 33-shot 11-shot percentage is a bit spicy.
It's just that with a player like Durant to defeat a strong opponent like the Grizzlies, doesn't it make Yes more perfect?!
"It's too strong!"
"Yes is too strong! It's so exciting! ”
After the game, Ye Si was also looking at the data.
It's not his stats, it's Durant's stats.
That's one of his main purposes in this fight.
Test that strange trait of Durant.
He shot 11-of-33 from the field and shot 33.3 percent.
3 of the 13 in the opening game can be brought back to 34% by him?!
Yes was really surprised.
:。 :
