Chapter 603: Durant in the third year and the MVP of the regular season
"Seattle SuperSonics, won ......"
Phoenix West Arena, even if the game is over, both supersonic fans and Suns fans are still in shock.
They really never imagined this result!
They didn't come to see the SuperSonics beat the Suns, because it wasn't possible, they really came to this game to celebrate Yes.
This was the first game after the Yes miracle, and the audience for the Yes miracle was 25,000, and none of them were one of them, and they were looking for a chance to make up for it.
But what is this?
The Seattle SuperSonics finally won at the West Ballpark in the United States!
At the end of the game, the defending champion Suns were even in a hurry with the supersonics, and they didn't know what to do for a while.
After the game, most of the spectators at the scene, except for those commentators from all over the world, are now in a circle of confusion about the result of the game.
Including the journalists in the media seats.
Let's take two CCTV reporters Wang Han and Lin Rui as an example.
Before the game began, they had already thought of the title for tonight's NBA frontline content.
Now CCTV is paying attention to Yes's playoff journey all the time, but most of the focus is on the impact of Yes's 0-3 reversal miracle in the first round.
The last episode was about the presidents and dignitaries of the United States, and this episode is about the rich businessmen and celebrities, as for the Western Conference semifinals where the superSonics and the Suns are playing.
It doesn't matter, it really doesn't matter.
As long as the SuperSonics don't lose so ugly in the second round against the Suns, that's fine.
After such a magical comeback in the first round of the SuperSonics, even Coconut Black has no way to blame Yes for this year's playoffs.
Although she disagrees with many people's statement, after the miracle of the supersonic and Nuggets' reversal, many people say that this miracle is an event comparable to a championship!
In other words, this year for Yes, he has already won the championship.
Pippen's point of view is quite bluffing, and although she doesn't agree with it very much, it has been shared by many people.
She is well aware of how much these American counterparts of her country value the first-round series of the SuperSonics and Nuggets right now.
She also knows very well why her American counterparts value the superSonics so much.
Everyone is a media person, can you still be unclear about such a means of operation?
Isn't it just to cause: hypersound lost, Yes didn't lose! Feelings?
To be reasonable, if it weren't for the fact that there was no hope for the supersonic and solar series, how could their CCTV and American counterparts reduce the influence of the second round of the supersonic and solar games?
And it's actively lowered.
Because they took the initiative to increase the influence of this series, I am afraid that many coconut fans will think that they are in Black Leaves.
Even the Coconut Black media, who want to increase the impact of this series, are embarrassed to ask for the ball, and SuperSonics and Yes win this series.
Even these coconut black media know that if they have such a request, they will definitely be seen that they are in Black Leaves, even these coconut black media know that this is a thing that cannot even be loaned.
But now, Ye Si actually led the SuperSonics to win at the West Jersey Arena!
Wang Han looked at his American counterparts who had recovered from shock and incredulity, and the look in his beautiful eyes was still full of surprise and disbelief.
She knows very well what the impact of a victory in this game will have on public opinion tomorrow.
Peers across the U.S. and around the world aren't downgrading coverage of this series because they don't want to.
It's that they want to protect Yes.
It's just that Yees and the SuperSonics can't win against the Suns.
Now that the supersonics beat the Suns in this game, it's different!
He knows very well the urine nature of her peers, and they will burst out all the energy they are holding!
Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
A bad thing, of course!
As much as there is hope, there is as much disappointment as there is!
This is the first game!
The playoffs were best-of-seven, and now the SuperSonics have only won one.
Can SuperSonics still win the next game?
According to the comparison of the strength of supersonic and the sun, the final result is likely to be unfavorable to supersound.
Who knows what will happen to Durant, who has played consistently and bravely in this game, in the next game?
When the balloon was blown up, it finally burst, and only Ye Si was injured.
These people will protect Yes, but the only media in this world who are wholeheartedly for Yes are the domestic media and the Seattle media.
The victory of Yees and his supersonic game opens a Pandora's box of unknown angels or demons......
The Seattle SuperSonics defeated the Suns in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals, a result that fell below most of the world's glasses.
After the game, the Suns and Queens who returned to the dressing room still hadn't recovered from the incredible result.
They really didn't expect Durant to break out in this game before the game!
They have a plan for Durant in this game.
Durant watched them in the final game of the series against the Nuggets.
Durant's ball-handling offense in the final game became stable after sacrificing his frequency, and turnovers were reduced to almost none.
In order to deal with Durant's slow and unfriendly large-scale ball-holding and breakthrough changes, D'Antoni deliberately smashed Grant Hill in the starting lineup in this game.
Dior, who started last season, was ripped off from the starting line-up because of his slowness and defensive bias.
That's the trick the Suns use specifically against Durant.
They are not stupid, although they know that Durant is a player with potential at a quasi-All-Star level, but this player is still the scoring champion, and he is still the most dangerous player for the SuperSonics besides Yes.
But in the end?
Durant still broke out!
Looking at the still incredible looks on the faces of the players in the dressing room, the expression on D'Antoni's face was ugly.
He can understand why the players have the expressions they have.
In the face of Grant Hill's single defense, Durant shot 16 of 30 in this game and scored 46 points in a single game!
Durant's score in this game, both in terms of quality and quantity, is enough to make the Suns heartache.
The Suns can use Yes to get him out of the game based on the SuperSonics without a second consistent single spot.
Grant Hill is indeed older now.
Grant Hill is 36 years old this year.
But Grant Hill's performance with the Suns this year has been highly rated.
Both offensively and defensively, they are highly rated.
averaged 13 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block per game, and his contributions on both offensive and defensive ends were quite good.
His contributions to singles and individual defense have been indispensable to the Suns.
In the regular season, players who can stably play singles against Grant Hill can't find more than one pair of players on the outside of the entire NBA.
Not to mention Durant, a player with the highest potential who is a quasi-All-Star, even if he is an ordinary All-Star player, he may not be able to stabilize his singles output in the face of Grant Hill!
In the face of Grant Hill's defense, players who can stabilize the output of singles, the real scoring strength must be at least a player with a shooting rate of 45% and an average of more than 25 points per game!
What we are talking about here is the real scoring strength, and Durant's brushing out does not count.
In the NBA, only a few players such as Yes, Kobe, Iverson, Nash, Wade and others have met 45% and averaged more than 25 points per game this season.
At the very least, Durant is definitely not one of them!
It's not that I look down on Durant, just Durant's strength, not to mention that he is now a rookie, even if he has played in the NBA for more than ten years, his true scoring ability cannot reach the average of more than 25 points per game with a shooting rate of more than 45%!
It doesn't matter what Durant's future holds.
But in this game, Durant did explode.
There is no problem with Grant Hill's play, Durant's single breakthrough in this game has changed the slowness of the Nuggets, the frequency of this game is very fast, and for Grant Hill now, he really can't keep up.
Durant really played at a super level in this game, and there were still not too many mistakes at such a fast frequency.
D'Antoni knows he can't blame Grant Hill for defending Durant, he did what he was supposed to do.
Durant's potential is a quasi-All-Star level player, and Durant's current strength is almost a quasi-All-Star level player under Yes's maturity.
Such a player is qualified and has the quality to break out in the game.
This is not unheard of in the history of the NBA playoffs.
It's just that such outbreaks won't happen every time.
Thinking of this, the ugly look on D'Antoni's face was slightly better.
"Tonight's game was very unacceptable, it was an unexpected defeat, and as the head coach of the team, I was responsible for the final chaos of the team, and I didn't have a plan before the game for Durant to break out."
D'Antoni's apology surprised the Suns players.
Who would have thought that Durant would have exploded?
D'Antoni is actually not wrong, even if he is wrong, it is not the pre-game plan, but after Durant really broke out, D'Antoni's response plan was insufficient, but this cannot be blamed on D'Antoni, he was not a temporary head coach, everyone knows this.
"This season, our goal has always been to be the best team in history, and when we were in the first half of the season, the title of the best team in history seemed to be within reach, and at that time, we all felt that we could definitely break the Bulls' regular season record, and we would definitely beat all teams in the playoffs to become the best team in history, but in the end, Anthony and the Nuggets came out of nowhere, and the Fire Rockets counterattacked our regular season history."
"It was a difficult and unexpected part of the regular season, but did we give up?"
"Nope! We didn't give up, we were still on the right path, and in the end we had Yes miraculously beating the Nuggets, and we had a miraculous opportunity! ”
"Guys, now Durant's first game outbreak is another accident and difficulty for us, as long as we can stick to our beliefs, we can still usher in the best light!"
"Guys, the road to the top of the NBA is never a smooth road, we are the defending champions, we should be more aware of this, the championship, not sent by others, we got it with our own hands, beat the strongest player in history, beat the strongest team in history, and still achieve the strongest!"
D'Antoni's words were very uplifting, and Durant's unexpected outburst swept away the troubles caused by the Suns' tactics and strategy.
"We never wanted to win all the playoffs, guys, it's just a normal defeat, keep at it and the next game will be a win for us!"
Now the atmosphere in the Suns locker room has returned to normal.
And in the locker room of the Seattle SuperSonics, it is a little difficult for the atmosphere to return to normal.
The Seattle SuperSonics locker room is very lively right now.
With the exception of Rondo, every supersonic player is congratulating Durant.
This is not the first playoff game of Durant's career, and Durant's first career playoff game also hit 40 points against the Nuggets.
But how that 40 points were obtained, the whole world is watching.
And this game?
Although Durant's 46 points in this game still rely on Yes to attract so many defenses, and also rely on Yes to attract a large number of reasonable and timely passes after the defense, but that also requires strength!
A league titan like Grant Hill can score 46 points in a single game, which is not something anyone can do!
Even Kobe Maddy, they are just like this game, and Durant is like this.
Durant's game is the first time in the playoffs that he has won the respect of the whole team with his true strength!
Seeing the other players on the team getting close to Durant and congratulating him, the expression on Rondo's face was full of displeasure and resentment.
Ye Si, on the other hand, had a smile on his face.
Because that's what he wants to see Durant!
Durant has finally broken through the shackles, and Durant's current strength has finally broken through the star wall of the player for three years!
Yes doesn't know what Durant's strength would be like in the third year if he hadn't met him.
But now, Durant has finally reached the level of his third-year class.
Of course, the current Durant is still not his strongest, and the current Durant only understands the fast and slow in the game, but has not yet comprehended the static and movement in the game.
When Durant really understands the stillness and movement in the game, he really achieves greatness.
However, stillness and movement are not ripening and ripening, which really requires experience and sufficient competition experience.
But even if he doesn't comprehend Durant who is static and moving, but even if he is a third-year Durant, it is enough for Yes to defeat the Suns who defend him like this!
Now, Yes's heart is filled with joy!
And the day after the defeat of the sun, another joy fell from the sky.
The league announced the major awards for the regular season.
Ye Si and Yao Ming shared the MVP of the 2008 NBA regular season.
