April 20, 2007, Seattle Supersonic Training Hall.

After a day off and recuperation, Yees and the SuperSonics returned to the team again.

Compared to the previous frustration and tension, after a full day's rest, the mood of the supersonic players relaxed a lot.

In addition to this, everyone's face was full of anticipation.

Before the holiday, the team's head coach Nelson Sr.'s 'psychological warfare' against Nowitzki had everyone in reverie.

Does Old Nelson really think there is still hope for hypersound?

Now the public opinion in the United States is, sweep, it must be a sweep!

If this series can be played five times, God will cry!

This is the gap between Mavericks and Hypersonics.

It's all like this, if it weren't for the fact that there was still a chance to win, how could old Nelson do useless work to play any psychological tactics.

The average head coach really does this, and the supersonic players will not believe it, they will only feel stupid and like an idiot.

There will be no incentive in the slightest.

But this man is old Nelson, and that's different.

Old Nelson is the most prestigious person in the NBA right now!

Even one of them can be removed!

In 1962, Nelson Sr. entered the NBA and was drafted with the 17th pick by the then-Chicago Wester, now the Washington Wizards.

Nelson Sr. came to the Celtics after three seasons as a Westerly in Chicago and a three-season wandering Lakers in Los Angeles by Cardinal Auerbach, then the head coach of the Celtics.

At the Celtics, Nelson Sr. stayed for 11 years and won five championships.

In Game 7 of the 1969 Finals against the Lakers, it was he who hit the winning shot at the end of the game, keeping the championship in Boston and killing Jerry West.

After the Celtics retired, the No. 19 jersey of the elder Nelson was retired by the Celtics.

At the Celtics, Nelson Sr. has gained more than just five championships and huge player popularity.

At the Celtics, Nelson Sr. also learned a life-changing tactical system at Cardinal Auerbach's side, the run-and-gun system!

In the current NBA, when Auerbach is mentioned, iron and defense come to mind.

It's the label that Auerbach has poured out with his constant championships.

Predator Godfather, Master of Defense!

But what about before the Cardinal didn't win the championship?

Compared to the godfather of iron and blood, the master of defense.

Auerbach is more of an offensive master.

The pursuit of the extreme of speed, passing the ball is always faster than dribbling, these are all things that Auerbach proposed.

Even the old Nelson's criticism over the years for not having defense and no rebounds, the regular season is in full swing, and the playoffs are weak, which is the evaluation of the Celtics and Auerbach led by Cousy back then.

It can be said that the old Nelson is Auerbach's successor!

Someone who has truly accepted the true biography of Auerbach!

More than Russell, Tom Heinsohn, Tom Saunders, Dave Cowens, KC Jones.

Auerbach was fortunate to meet Russell, who was his own.

Since then, Russell's defense and the Cardinals' run-and-gun have combined to create one of the greatest legends in NBA history.

It's a legend that makes one of the greatest teams and one of the greatest managers.

Nelson Sr., in his career, has never met a Russell of his own.

So, as a disciple who received the true bishop of Cardinal, Nelson Sr. never won a championship in his coaching career.

Nelson Sr.'s accomplishments in coaching are a world apart from his teacher, Cardinal.

However, this is only compared to the cardinal.

In 1976, Nelson Sr. became head coach of the Bucks, when the Bucks lost Abdul-Jabbar and were in ruins.

The elder Nelson created the 'Nelson System' in the Bucks, which is now considered the originator of running and shooting, and also built the Bucks, who lost Abdul-Jabbar, into a strong team again.

He left the Bucks in 1987 and came to the Warriors, and then built the "Run TMC" of the Washing League with Tim Hardaway, Mitch Richmond and Chris Mullin as the core.

Nelson Sr. then came to the Mavericks and built the Mavericks into a powerful team with far-reaching influence.

Now the head coach of the Mavericks is General Johnson, but the whole world knows that Nelson Sr. is the one who really built this Mavericks!

It's funny to say that the crazier the Mavericks have this season, the more prestige Nelson Sr. has.

In the history of the NBA, there are very few head coaches like Nelson Sr. who focus on developing players.

It's because it's rare, it's because it's unique, and it's all successful in the end, that's why old Nelson has such a high reputation.

It is precisely because Nelson Sr. is this type of head coach that the supersonic player is also willing to believe that he really has a secret weapon against the Mavericks.

Knowing himself and knowing his opponent is invincible, Nelson Sr. is definitely the person who knows the calf in the world!

If even old Nelson can't make the supersonic beat the Mavericks, then there can't be anyone else in this world who can do it.

Even yes, though he kept thinking about whether Nelson Sr.'s psychological warfare against Nowitzki was meant to motivate them or if there was really a way?

In the end, Ye Si still chose to believe that Nelson Sr. really had a way.

In the supersonic training hall, the eyes of the supersonic players now look at old Nelson quite hot.

Scott Brooks, who was so hot to the side, was a little shivering.

Scott Brooks, like these superSonics, is also looking forward to what Nelson Sr. can do against the Mavericks.

But compared to the superSonics players are all expecting.

Scott Brooks was still a little scared.

I'm really scared!

What if old Nelson can't do it?

It's still too small to smash your own brand, the key is to lose the trust of the team's players!

Scott Brooks is believing in Nelson Sr.

He is the league's greatest team-building head coach and one of the league's greatest intellectuals.

This mad scientist has solved many, many problems for hypersound this season.

Milicic's big forward play, Rondo's inside play, the team's dumping system, etc.

SuperSonics' classic tactics and playing styles this season have a strong old Nelson style.

It can be said that as long as the team has difficulties, Nelson Sr. can solve them for the team.

But this time, the team's difficulties are really big.

That's a calf!

According to USA Today and the major media in the United States, the most balanced and perfect team in the league!

There are no drawbacks!

No drawbacks at all!

Offense, defense, bench, this team is invulnerable!

At the very least, with the strength of the supersonics, this team is an unassailable team.

If it weren't for the many controversial things on the court in the finals last year, the Mavericks would actually be the defending champions of the league!

Compared to the Heat, the Mavericks are the perfect defending champions!

Such a team, no matter how good the manager is, what can he do?

Even if Nelson Sr. really has a way, with the strength of the supersonic team, can they implement Nelson Sr.'s method?

That's also a big question!

I'm worried, I'm very worried!

Scott Brooks anxiously waited for Nelson Sr. to give his orders.

"Scott, let's have a confrontation practice today."

Confrontation practice?!

Not an explanation of the weaknesses of the Mavericks?!

Nor is it training for calf weaknesses?

Scott Brooks was puzzled.

Especially after getting the list of this group confrontation from old Nelson, the puzzle in Brooks' heart has been completely written on his face!

"PJ Tucker and Yes in a group?!"

Nick Collisson, P.J. Tucker, Quentin Richardson, Yes, Rondo vs Barria, Wilkins, Millsap, David Lee, Milicic!

Is this lineup of the Yes team the lineup against the Mavericks?!

Really?!

No wonder Scott Brooks is glazed in now.

It's really shocking that this grouping is amazing!

Milicic is the second leader of the team, and in addition to Yes, the strongest player is Milicic.

Milicic now playing as a substitute?

Is this preparing for Yes to be trapped to death?

Opponents have been afraid to wrap Yes in the regular season this season, in addition to being afraid of Yes's all-time No. 1 passing and playmaking skills, and Milicic can indeed open up space for Yes.

Now Milicic and David Lee are gone.

Just Nick Collison and P.J. Tucker plus Rondo.

The appearance of these three people in the first place is equivalent to announcing to the world, you come and pack Yes, pack Yes, and no one else attacked!

"PJ, Nick, you're in the starting lineup?!"

The supersonic players who are waiting to see if the old Nelson has some secret weapon are equally shocked after seeing the list of this group confrontation!

Darko is in the second group, PJ and Nick are in the starting lineup, what is Coach Nelson playing?

Even Rondo, who has always been very unhappy with Milicic's team's 'three masters', is now stunned.

The second master doesn't like Milicic very much, but I have to admit that Milicic is very rubbish compared to the second master.

However, no matter how rubbish Milicic is, he can't compare to Nick Collisson!

Also, although David Lee is a data brush, the data brush must also be brushed to the data first!

How can Tucker Horde replace Short Lee?

Short Lee can still brush up on the field, and Tucker is the fifth person who disappeared from the supersonic speed on the field!

Except for playing disappearing on the field, Tucker Mao is useless!

Supersonic is already weak compared to the Mavericks.

Now is this the rhythm of preparing for a weaker one?

In terms of the current strength of the supersonics, the strongest are the five starters, Milicic, David Lee, Quentin Richardson, Yes and Rondo.

Even if old Nelson can find the weakness of the calf, I'm afraid only these five people can execute.

Even if they can't find the weakness of the Mavericks, these five people can make the supersonic lose not so ugly.

At the very least, you won't lose 58 points!

Indissoluble!

Confused!

Now the heads of supersonic players are full of incomprehension and bewilderment.

"The Yes team in this group confrontation is not the starter against the Mavericks."

The supersonic players in confusion and incomprehension finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Soon, however, before they could completely put their minds at ease, old Nelson's words made them nervous again.

"Although Yes is not a starter against the Mavericks, I will re-evaluate the starting lineup with the Mavericks based on your performance in this group matchup."

The head coach re-evaluated the starting line-up and it was an opportunity for the substitutes to be happy and happy.

But at this time, whether it is Barria, Millsap, Wilkins, these substitutes or Nick Collison, who played the main force in this confrontation, is not happy.

They don't want such an opportunity!

They know their strength too well.

Now they meet calves and they give them away.

They don't want to ruin Yes's efforts this season for the sake of a so-called starting opportunity!

Do they want to play as a starter?

Absolutely!

Every player who plays in the NBA wants to play as a starter.

But they want to start when they can help Yes!

Removed from the team, the expressions on the faces of Milicic and David Lee, although also surprised and confused, but other than that, there were no other thoughts.

As long as it is beneficial to the team, they are willing to accept the position of the team's substitute.

The current performance of the SuperSonics and assistant coach Brooks are all in sight.

The players who were put on the starting line-up were reluctant to accept it, but the players who were put on the bench were willing to accept it.

It's truly a spectacle!

If you put it on other NBA teams, this is almost impossible to happen.

It can only be said that the cohesion of supersonic speed is too strong!

Brooks looked at the yes who had been frowning and silent.

Supersonic can have such cohesion as it is now, it is really because of Yes!

Except for Danny Fortson, Lafrentz, Swift, who are lying in a hospital bed, now all the players of the SuperSonics put the interests of the team ahead of their personal interests!

Now the supersonic training hall is very noisy, and this group training is really scary.

Whether it's a starter or a substitute, it's all worried.

Tucker, who has been practicing small defense with Marikrose, is still blind!

Three points are weak, two points are not fine, the ball control is not good, the speed is average, there is no decent advantage, just him, why did he suddenly start?

Moreover, did he replace David Lee?

That is, the position he plays is a power forward?

Power forward?

Face Nowitzki!

This season, David Lee and Millsap faced Nowitzki's tragic situation, but I really remember it vividly!

Is Coach Nelson ready to take him to his death, please Nowitzki, and let the Mavericks win a little less SuperSonic?

Apart from this possibility, Tucker really can't find any possibility!

Not to mention the supersonic players, even the many reporters or undercover agents around the training ground who can be allowed to come in were stunned.

Old Nelson and the Supersonics, are they ready to give up on themselves?!

"This internal confrontation of the SuperSonics is terrible!"

"It's really bad, Tucker and Rondo and Nick Collison and Yes are on the first team, this is a suicidal lineup, if you want to attack without offense, you have to defend without defense, not to mention the Mavericks, even the Trail Blazers can't win!"

"The second team of the supersonic team is not doing well, and Milicic leaves Yes and really doesn't know how to play!"

"Milicic's rookie contract expires at the end of the season, and those who are interested in Milicic need to reconsider, even if they get Milicic, without Yes, parallel is still parallel import!"

"But what the hell is old Nelson going to do? Really surrendered, so turned on the Mad Scientist mode? ”

"I don't know, but Nelson Sr. himself is not satisfied, and his face is very dark and he deliberately keeps Tucker and Milicic, who are the worst performers in this practice match."

"Nelson Sr. is this ready to shoot at Milicic and Tucker? The long-lost old Nelson-style hair dryer, the old Nelson rarely blows the wind after coming to supersound. ”

"You're going to stay and watch old Nelson squirt at Tucker and Milicic?"

"Forget it, the news is the most important thing right now! The whole world is looking forward to the news of Yes and hypersound! ”

"Compared to Yes, Milicic and Tucker are just minor characters in this series."

Dallas, Mavericks Training Gym.

As the No. 1 team in the West and a completely favored team, the Mavericks' playoff preparation is simple and easy.

The whole team is open, there are no secrets.

Why not train and be interviewed by the national media at the same time.

It may feel a little sad to say.

The Mavericks have been so good in the regular season this season.

It didn't even get half the attention it has now!

They have long been the first in the West!

The attention has now finally reached the standard of being the first in the West.

It's not that the media feels that they really need to be noticed, after all, they are number one in the West.

But because their opponent is Yes!

The opponent is Yes, which is better than them being the first in the West and the first brand in the league!

"Dirk, I learned from those reporters that Coach Nelson has now given up on himself!"

"Giving up on yourself?"

"Coach Nelson is actually ready to let Tucker play the starting power forward, it seems that Dirk has put David Lee and Millsap in a psychological shadow!"

Nowitzki, who was still a little surprised, also had a smile on his face.

The two big forwards of the SuperSonics, David Lee and Millsap, are two of his favorite opponents in the league.

These two can be called his ATM for short!

Tuck?

Is that supersonic disappearing fifth man shorter than David Lee, slower than Wilkins, thinner than Milicic?

By the way, he'll also shine Yes's shoes, the Seattle shoe king.

It's also famous.

On Yes's side, even Tucker's kind can get the reputation of a quasi-All-Star player.

In the Mavericks, except for him, Josh Howard, Terry and a few others, no one can match Tucker in fame.

Do you say that people are angry?

If the NBA game is decided by fame, maybe the supersonic speed can sweep the Mavericks.

It's a pity that the NBA game is ultimately determined by strength!

April 22nd!

Two days to go!

Tanks from Germany, artillery are already hungry and thirsty!

It doesn't matter if it's David Lee or Millsap, Yang or Tucker in front of the cannon, it's all shattered!

Nellie, that's the perfect offense!

On April 21, 2007, the NBA playoffs officially began!

This year's playoffs kick off with the Bulls, who are fourth in the East, taking on the defending champions Heat, who are fifth in the East.

The opening game of this year's regular season was also between the Bulls and the Heat, and in the opening game of this year's NBA, the Bulls delivered a 40-point massacre to the proud defending champions!

This time, though, the Bulls failed to repeat the brutality of the regular-season opener.

96-91, the Chicago Bulls narrowly defeated the Heat at home.

O'Neal, who pretended to be dead for a season in the regular season, scared the Bulls into a cold sweat in the fourth quarter, and scored 10 points in 5 of 6 in a single quarter.

However, compared with O'Neill when he was invincible, O'Neill is indeed not so strong now.

Even if the fourth quarter of this game is unmatched, there will be no more killings.

The lethality is gone!

5 of 6 in a single quarter is very brutal, but 0 free throws in a single quarter is also very realistic!

Now O'Neill can't make the other party pay.

It is precisely because of this that the Heat brought by Wade, the defending champion, is believed by most experts in the United States to be eliminated by the Bulls in the first round within six games.

The second game of the first day of the playoffs is the Celtics, who are first in the East, take on the Orlando Magic, who are eighth in the East.

92 to 105, Magic kneeling crisply.

Howard scored 13 points, 19 rebounds and 3 blocks in the first playoff game of his career.

He also committed six turnovers, which contributed to Garnett's three blocks and three steals.

In this game, the interior combination of Kendrick Perkins and Garnett made Howard subdued.

This series between the Celtics and Magic is also the second series in addition to the Mavericks and SuperSonics that most pundits believe the Magic will be swept away.

Today's third game is the San Antonio Spurs, fifth in the West, taking on the Jazz away.

75 to 85!

A great defensive battle.

Under the Spurs' defense, the Jazz shot only 36% from the field and 24% from three-point range, and the Spurs were similar, shooting 39% from the field and 33% from three-point range.

The difference is that the Spurs have Duncan!

With 28 points and 13 rebounds, Duncan continued his good form in the regular season sprint.

Compared to the Spurs, who are already hot veterans, the Jazz don't seem to be in the playoff rhythm yet.

After all, the Jazz are the only team in the Western Conference quarterfinals that has not sprinted and has been watching the sea.

But at the end of the game between the Jazz and the Spurs, Yes could clearly see that there was no joy on the face of ** Vic on TV.

Coming out too early is not good for any team that wants to win the championship, especially if this team is still dominated by veterans!

If you get out of the state too early, you will usher in a period of exhaustion too early.

** Vicky can't control it, and he also wants to take the form away.

But he can't do it, Spurs sprinted for so long at the end of the season, his team needs to rest, and needs to deal with opponents early!

The Spurs were in good form, the Jazz didn't get into the groove, and the Spurs only won by 10 points.

This victory is not a simple victory, there is also a crisis!

Even if the Jazz can't win against the Spurs, dragging the Spurs for six or seven games is a big defeat for the Spurs.

Experts predict that in this series, the Spurs can win, but they need to play at least six games!

The grand finale of the first day of the playoffs was the Wizards, who were third in the East, against the Cavaliers, who were sixth in the East.

These two teams are also enemies.

The two teams met in the first round last season.

James scored a crucial win to knock out the Wizards with a controversial walk-through.

The chosen son, lore, last year's James was infinitely beautiful.

Things have changed dramatically this year.

Yes really never imagined that the snake-letting tactics he came up with would end up being used against James.

He really didn't think that James' invincible tank-style breakthrough would be in a difficult situation because of the alliance's vigorous efforts.

When the tank is stuck in the quagmire and there is no barrel, there is really only a sturdy-looking lump of steel.

They can only be slaughtered by men.

That's what James and the Cavaliers are like now.

If it weren't for the Cavaliers' foundation in the first half of the schedule, the Eastern team would be really useless.

If it is placed in the West, James and the Cavaliers will not be able to enter the playoffs, and it is estimated that they can compete with the Trail Blazers for the top five draft picks.

Even if it's because of the East, it's lucky to make the playoffs.

The first game with the Wizards, facing the Wizards who are crazy about revenge.

The Cavaliers lost 89-99 on the road.

In the face of the Wizards with a full and healthy lineup, Arenas, Antoine Jamison, and Caron Butler composed of the Wizards' three shots, the now difficult Cavaliers really have no choice.

Look at the glaring score on the sidelines.

James' face was very ugly.

He just wants to end this disgraceful season as soon as possible.

He just wants to get into the offseason early now!

He just wants to pick up all the time he wasted!

This is not the back of having resigned to fate!

looked at the unwilling back of the 23rd on TV.

Ye Si nodded slightly.

In the series of the Cavaliers and Wizards, the pundits' prediction is that the Wizards will be six games to settle the battle.

But judging from this game, I'm afraid it won't take six.

After watching the Cavaliers and Wizards game, Yees and the superSonics boarded the plane to Dallas.

The SuperSonics have been doing confrontation training for the past two days, and Nelson Sr. has also been using the excuse to stay on Tucker and Milicic to 'blow the wind'.

After being blown by Nelson Sr. for two days, Tucker and Milicic didn't see any frustration or discomfort.

This is a bit of a surprise for the supersonic up and down.

Even Yass was amazed.

Do Milicic and Tucker still have that strange hobby?

The supersonic up and down are expecting old Nelson to come up with a solution to deal with the Mavericks.

But in the past two days, Nelson Sr. has only used excuses to find Milicic and Tucker's stubble.

Now the public opinion in the United States is the news that the madness of the old Nelson mad scientist has come up again.

It's very frustrating.

22 April 2007.

The second day of the NBA playoffs.

The first game of the day is for the Pistons, who are second in the East, take on the Nets, who are seventh in the East.

After the Nets were knocked down by Rondo and Rondo, they were lucky enough to make the playoffs because they were in the East.

87 to 97.

This game proves that the collapsed Nets really collapsed!

Kidd and Carter were clearly distracted.

In the second game, the Suns, who are second in the West, face the Lakers, who are seventh in the West.

It's a battle of focus.

The Suns have an absolute advantage, but the Lakers have won against the Suns this season!

So many experts believe that the Suns will need more than five games to win.

87 to 95!

The two teams had just played a regular season game with playoff intensity, and the pace of this game was almost exactly the same as that regular season game!

The Lakers are still having a hard time defending the Suns.

In this game, Kobe Bryant not only played on the defensive end, but also performed quite well on the offensive end.

He scored 39 points on 15-of-33 shooting.

But the same is that the Lakers still lost!

In this game, Bryant had only 1 assist.

"Is the rocket so strong this year?!"

On the second day of the playoffs, the SuperSonics watched the game between the third Rockets in the West and the sixth Nuggets in the West in the locker room at the American Airlines Center.

95 to 110!

Yao Ming, Juwan Howard, Maddie, Ariza, Roy......

This rocket looks powerful and terrifying!

Roy put away 25+5+5 stats in the first playoff game of his career.

Yao Ming, Maddie, Roy, the three of them scored a total of 81 points in this game!

"The Rocket still looks the weakest of the Western Three!"

Looking at the tragic situation of the Nuggets on TV, the supersonic players in the locker room were really dumbfounded.

In this game, they will face the Mavericks, who are ranked No. 1 in the Western Triumvirate!

Mavericks are much more brutal than rockets!

April 22, 2007, American Airlines Center Dallas!

The American Airlines Center is one of the best attendance arenas in the NBA.

But it's amazing that it's all full so early today.

"The Mavericks and the SuperSonics are the group with the biggest difference between strength and weakness of all the matchups in the first round!"

"The matchup between the Mavericks and the supersonic is also the most watched group!"

"It may seem contradictory, but it's true!"

"Based on the ratings of the supersonic game in the regular season, many experts predict that this game will be the most watched game in the playoffs this year!"

Will the most-watched playoff game be in the first game of the first round?

No one would have believed in such a thing before.

But now, no one doubts.

Because this game is the first playoff game of Yes' career!

Again, this series could also be the only one Yes played!

And this is why many people hope that supersound can become stronger.

There's so much at stake.

Broadcasters, newspapers, media, journalists, experts, and even leagues.

The further yes can go in the playoffs, the more they can earn.

This is also the reason why the public opinion in the United States this season treats Rondo with the standard of killing his father and enemy!

Rondo, Millsap, Barria......

The economic damage caused by this garbage is in the hundreds of millions of dollars.

Selling this garbage a hundred times will not make up for these losses.

But it's too late to tell.

Even the head coach of the SuperSonics, Nelson Sr., seems to have been infected by this garbage.

The pit Yes button is also turned on!

Putting Tucker in the starting line-up?

This is because I feel that Yes is not enough to be swept away, and I am ready to let Yes be ravaged by Nowitzki's more than 200 pounds of body a few times before being swept away!

Barkley is worried right now.

Yes This season is a 'pit'!

He is no longer worried about whether Yes will be swept and regrets, his biggest hope now is not to be scored 58 points by the Mavericks!

Otherwise, it's really hilarious.

Now there are all kinds of signs that Nowitzki and Mavericks are really ready to play against the supersonic and Yes!

"Kenny, do you think this could be old Nelson's smoke bomb?"

"Smoke bombs?"

Kenny Smith has a look on his face if you're stupid.

In terms of the strength comparison of supersonic and Mavericks, is it necessary to use Tucker as a smoke bomb?

Being looked at like this by Kenny Smith made Barkley embarrassed.

Soon, listening to the sound coming from the headset, the fear on Barkley's face had turned into fright.

Frightened, Barkley even got up straight from his seat!

"Milicic, Tucker, Quentin Richardson, Yes, Rondo?!"

"The starting power forward of the SuperSonics in this game is really PJ Tucker?!"

Seeing the supersonic starting lineup, there was an uproar inside and outside the stadium!
