Before the start of this game, Jerry Sloan's idea was to target Durant and make Yes, the most consistent player in NBA history, because of Durant's inconsistency.

Turn Durant, a player who may be as good as Karl Malone in the future, into a helper for the Jazz in this game.

As depicted in many movies, villains always like to use hostages to defeat the invincible protagonist.

The current Durant is this hostage!

A hostage that Yes is impossible to give up.

As long as this hostage is choked, Yes will not be able to defeat Sir who holds the hostage!

The first quarter of the game was exactly what he thought.

Durant's struggles allowed Yes to deliver a career-high turnover in the first quarter!

But the next game caught Jerry Sloan a little off guard!

In Jerry Sloan's mind, after he choked Durant as a hostage, Yes would not be able to pass the ball without hesitation, jump up and shoot without hesitation, and lead the team without hesitation like he did in the first two games of this season.

But Yes didn't go as he had planned.

Even though Yes had five turnovers in the first quarter, in the second quarter, Yes was still pushing the game as he did in the first two games of the season.

There is no fear at all like last season's five kills!

Jerry Sloan really hasn't seen anyone like this in the world!

After being threatened with hostage, not only are they not afraid of their hands and feet, but they are even more murderous!

Yes certainly couldn't have played the way Jerry Sloan had in mind.

Because although Jerry Sloan's strategy is ruthless, he still doesn't know him.

If Jerry Sloan were to play the way he was intended, he and his SuperSonics would be a repeat of last season's five-game killing by the Jazz.

Durant was subjected to such targeted hand-to-hand combat, which caused Durant to make mistakes when receiving his throwing balls.

But these mistakes are acceptable!

Because there is no way for his mistakes to be directly exploited by the Jazz.

Durant can't catch these passes of his, and Fisher, who is next to Durant, is certainly impossible to receive.

In the end, this mistake was just a mistake.

It's just the equivalent of striking iron.

Ye Si said before that as long as Durant can give him a stable pick-up, he is willing that Durant's shooting percentage after taking the pot is 0 in 30!

Of course, this is just an exaggeration.

Something like 0 out of 30 is still too exaggerated.

After Durant's attention, even if Durant is targeted, he can receive about 18 of his 30 passes, and according to Durant's current shooting rate, 18 shots should be able to hit about 8 times.

In other words, converting those turnovers into shots, Durant should be shooting 8-of-30 or 7-of-30.

That's acceptable for Durant!

As long as he can jump unrestrained, brush his hand unrestrained, and score unrestrainedly, Durant's efficiency is completely acceptable.

What's more, if he continues to trust Durant unconditionally like this, he can also cultivate Durant's hand-to-hand combat ability now!

You know, according to Yes's idea, he is ready to start developing Durant's hand-to-hand fighting ability next season.

This season, Yace is really worried that Durant will be under too much pressure and will be crushed in the end.

But Yes really underestimated Durant's toughness!

Durant's character is indeed not that good or so reliable, but his character on the court is quite good and quite reliable.

This is a person who is easily influenced off the field and will be doubted for his strength and tenacity.

But on the field, his determination and hard work are indeed somewhat beyond Yes's imagination.

Ye Si's previous prediction for Durant's future was that he was a stronger five-star player than Ray Allen!

Now, Yees needs to revise his assessment of Durant!

If Durant is willing to continue to work hard and is willing to continue to fight Fisher when he is weak, why can't he?

Anyway, he has to give Durant at least 30 chances a game.

These 30 opportunities are all used to cultivate Durant in the end, and what Durant does with these 30 opportunities in the end depends on Durant's efforts!

"Beautiful three-point line pull!"

"This is Yes's fifth shot from beyond the three-point line in this game!"

"Yes's shooting was so decisive that Kirilenko's help defense didn't have a chance to be in place at all!"

Keep jumping up outside the three-point line!

If you brush it with a good feel, you can shoot!

If you can't brush a good feel, you will smash Durant!

This is the core of Yes's current play!

For Yes, no difficulties would make him change his ways!

"Incredible!"

Watching the sudden change of scenery on TV, Popovich was shocked.

Not to mention that Yes's trust in Durant has reached such a level, what kind of touching spirit it is.

Let's just say Yes, this kind of play that comes to the three-point line with the ball and pulls it out directly as long as there is a slight opportunity is really quite shocking.

Although these dry pulls in Yes this game are not as scary as the dry pulls without adjustments, they are also much stronger than the ones he usually likes to wait in the air and adjust in the air!

Yes wanted to wait in the air.

Yes's current bouncing ability allows him to refresh six feel points in the air.

But because of Kirilenko's co-defense threat, he can only refresh three in the air!

When it is refreshed to the fourth, Kirilenko's co-defense will appear.

He had to find one of these three touches that was relatively good to throw out.

If it had been last season, Jerry Sloan's strategy would have been successful even if he continued to believe in Durant.

His three-point shooting attribute was too low at that time, even if he continued to believe in Durant and continued to jump, it was impossible to shoot how many shots he had in only three opportunities to refresh his touch!

But now it's different, his three-point shooting attribute is 90!

His harshness of hand sense is no longer so demanding!

He's no longer the guy who's going to have to wait until he's 65 or more when he's defended a little bit is up to him!

"Yes is very unreasonable!"

"Yes, this game is very gambling!"

"I swear, Yes knows what Jerry Sloan is up to, but he doesn't care!"

"Jerry Sloan wants to prove something, Yes is actually angry to help Jerry Sloan prove it!"

Listening to the cheers of the supersonic fans at the scene, watching Yes's three-pointer on the court, not to mention what Deron Williams' defense was like.

Just saying yes to these choices is really jaw-dropping!

"Kenny, this is not gambling, this is the domineering exclusive to Yes, he has always been such a domineering person, this style of play is like this, he will not be threatened by anyone, whether it is in the face of Arenas's provocation or Kobe's provocation, he responds like this!"

A domineering style exclusive to Yes?

"That's right, this is the domineering style that belongs to Yes!"

Kenny Smith nodded after a moment's pause.

"And the impact of a choice like Yes on the game is definitely not just a direct impact!"

Kenny Smith's eyes twinkled strangely as he watched the supersonic players on the court grow in defensive intensity.

Kenny Smith can be sure that when Yes first fell in love with Durant to this extent, the rest of the Seattle SuperSonics players would be envious and unhappy.

Why can Durant get such favors?

The most rubbish list in history, the most watery scoring champion in history, how can He De let Yes do this?

But in the end, these players who were previously envious, jealous and hated Durant will all be transformed into hearts that worship and respect Yes and even die for it!

Look at the supersonic players on the pitch right now...... Millsap, Milicic, Rondo...... Which of them hasn't been trusted like Yes?

They wouldn't have gotten to this level in the NBA if they hadn't trusted Durant in this game!

In the end, it became, the greater the pressure on Fisher on Durant, the greater Yes's support for Durant, and the higher the reverence and dedication of other Supersonic players to Yes, such fighting spirit and will can be directly translated into the intensity of the game!

"The offensive efficiency of the two teams in this game is really low!"

Yes's three-point shooting percentage is just 5-of-14, which is pretty good.

But now the game on the field will definitely make the supersonic fans on the scene quite cool!

Fans don't just watch the game, or for the fans in the field, how many points are scored in the game, what the style of the game is, is not so important.

For fans, the most important thing is the plot and picture presented by the game!

When the whole team is in crisis, is there anything more exciting than trusting each other and supporting each other through the crisis?

Now the Seattle SuperSonics fans are looking at the superSonics players in this game as if they were playing on the court.

Not to mention the supersonic fans at the scene, even many media reporters at the scene have such thoughts!

"It's a fairytale-like scene!"

For much of the world's audience, the Seattle SuperSonics were playing a fairytale game under pressure from Jerry Sloan and the Jazz.

Such a fairytale competition is very emotional.

But for Jerry Sloan, the Jazz players on the court, and the Jazz fans in front of the TV, they are really as uncomfortable as their scalps now.

The Jazz have had a terrible season and a 10th finish in the West that many people can't accept.

The Jazz have really had big problems this season, both offensively and defensively.

But no matter how many offensive problems there are, it is impossible to score less than 15 points in two quarters in one game!

The Jazz were outscored by the Seattle SuperSonics for only 14 points in the first quarter, which was understandable, and the game had just begun, and the SuperSonics' defensive intensity was high.

But in the third quarter, with the team's strategy and tactics even in the upper hand, it was also only 14 points.

At the end of the third quarter, the Jazz, who were two points behind at the beginning, ended up trailing by 12 points!

Crisis!

An unprecedented crisis!

The Jazz don't want to lose this game, but according to the current trend of this game, the Jazz don't have the slightest chance of winning!

That's not what many Jazz fans think in front of the TV.

That's what those Jazz starters on TV who stayed on the court at the beginning of the fourth quarter behaved in the game!

"The Jazz are panicking now!"

Popovich looked at the already panicked Jazz on TV in disbelief.

You know, last season's Jazz played seven games against them in the playoffs!

It's incredible!

Because in this tie-break between the Spurs and the Jazz, both sides did not win a game on their home court, all of them were won on the road!

In the playoffs, in a series of tiebreakers, how much will does it take to win three away games in a row?

Of course, the Jazz players don't have that will.

Neither Boozer, Delon, nor Oku, nor anyone else, possessed such a will.

These wills belong to Jazz head coach Jerry Sloan.

Jerry Sloan is the embodiment of this team!

When Jerry Sloan's control of the Jazz is good enough, he can impose all of his will on the team.

But now......

"Jerry Sloan has actually started to slowly lose control of the Jazz?!"

It's really hard for Popovich to imagine such a thing happening!

You must know that most of these Jazz players who are playing on the court now are led by Jerry Sloan to the peak.

Even Deron Williams, who is the team's leading player, was brought out by him, and it can be said that Delon is the Duncan of the Jazz.

It's such a team, and now it's out of control!

Now the Jazz don't have any tactical literacy on the court.

The Seattle SuperSonics are a difficult team to break down with singles, even a singles team like the Lakers has been double-killed by the SuperSonics this season, let alone a team like the Jazz that needs more to play with.

The Jazz are playing like this on the court right now definitely not what Jerry Sloan meant!

Popovich kept staring at the TV, and finally, as the game was about to end, the TV finally focused on the face of Jerry Sloan, whom he wanted to see!

Looking at the look of confusion, bewilderment and disbelief on Jerry Sloan's face, Popovich was sympathetic and glad at the same time.

He has never felt this feeling of being betrayed by the player he trusts the most, he has not felt it now, he has not felt it in the past, and he will not feel it in the future.

But it's not hard to imagine.

Just imagine Duncan doing what Deron Williams is doing in the game right now.

Deron Williams is desperate to defeat Yes!

Even if the Jazz don't have any hope of winning, that's not what a player with a disciplined team should do!

98 to 82!

This is the final score of this game.

"This game changed more than we could have imagined!"

Popovich's eyes were glowing, and it wasn't just Jazz who might have collapsed.

What's more, even if the Seattle SuperSonics win this game, they may not be able to stabilize the third place in the West!

Popovich's eyes are now all on the Durant who won the game but lowered his head!
