Chapter 412: Everyone is Pippen!

Winning both on the road in California brings the SuperSonics' overall record to 3-1.

The supersonic's start to the game was impressive.

According to the predictions of many experts before the start of the season, the record of the four games at the beginning of the new season of the SuperSonics is more likely to be 1 win and 3 losses.

The SuperSonics should have lost two games because of Yes's god-level play of 20-of-20 to beat the Nuggets, and because of the accidental injury of Clippers star player Brand, they beat the Clippers.

After a brief period of amazement, these people found that the current record of the supersonic is still acceptable.

A supernatural one, an unexpected gain.

If it is only analyzed from this aspect, of course, it is acceptable.

And the acceptable premise is that the supersonic has the ability and strength to hold the unexpected gains in their hands?

Do the SuperSonics have that strength after Durant hit the starter?

You know, in these four regular season games of the SuperSonics, Durant's shots are higher than in the preseason!

It stands to reason that the more Durant shots, the weaker the supersonic will be.

The supersonic speed of the regular season should be a little weaker than the supersonic speed of the preseason.

The preseason superSonics were considered inferior to teams like the Timberwolves and Kings, and now they're all weaker!

If you calculate it this way, the current record of the supersonic is really difficult to accept.

Each of the four games took 30+ shots, with the highest shot being a staggering 36.

He averaged a staggering 33.5 shots per game in four games, but was only able to hit 11.5 goals per game, a shooting percentage of a low 34 percent.

In terms of Durant's shots and hits, shouldn't the SuperSonics be weaker than in the preseason?

Why does it seem that the superSonics look like they are stronger than last season, not to mention the preseason.

Soon, the eyes of the whole United States were focused on Yes.

20 out of 20, 9 out of 12, 12 out of 15, 11 out of 13.

He averaged 15 shots per game in four games, but he could hit 13 shots per game, and his shooting rate was as high as 87%!

When they saw Yes's shot count and hit rate, those expert reporters who couldn't understand why supersonic could soar finally understood.

Durant is averaging 33.5 shots per game, averaging 11.5 goals per game.

Yes averaged 15 shots per game, hitting 13 goals per game.

Combined, the two are averaging 48.5 attempts per game, averaging 24.5 goals per game.

The hit rate is as high as 50.5%!

When a team's scoring guards and small forwards can still shoot more than 50% of the time when they take more than 40 shots, such a record can certainly be explained!

Not to mention this terrifying 48.5 shots, even if it is a shooting rate of more than 50%, only the Suns' Nash + Marion combination has done it in the current NBA!

But Nash only took 19 shots in a game, while Marion's was only 18, and the combined number of shots between the two was only 37, and it would take Bale's average of 10 shots per game to barely match the number of shots taken by Durant and Yes.

But if you add Bale, Nash, Marion and Bale's combined shooting percentage, it won't reach more than 50%!

In other words, from the perspective of scoring, the Yes + Durant combination that was frantically complained about after the start of the game is the first outside combination in the NBA?!

The combination of Yes and Durant is the NBA's current No. 1 outside team?!

After analyzing for most of the day and coming to such a conclusion, media experts across the United States were really dumbfounded.

For a moment, a sentence came to everyone's minds.

"Kobe Bryant and I combined for 83 points!"

Yes, with a player like Durant, can he lead the current NBA's No. 1 outside combination?!

That's amazing, isn't it?

Soon, these incredible American media turned their attention to Jordan and Pippen, the first outside team in NBA history.

When Jordan and Pippen were together, the two averaged more than 40 shots per game, and they also averaged more than 50% shooting.

But these experts and media were surprised to find that Jordan and Pippen did not achieve a season in which they combined to shoot 40+ and hit more than 50% in their careers!

As we all know, the combination of Jordan and Pippen is the all-time No. 1 outside combination, and it doesn't just rely on scoring.

But if you just analyze it from the perspective of scoring, the combination of Yes and Durant is actually the No. 1 outside scoring combination in history!

This conclusion is simply ruined!

"Yes used his strength to forcibly bring Durant into Pippen!"

"No wonder Yes is so capricious in this year's draft, so indifferent, because Yes really doesn't matter, it doesn't matter who is really his Pippen, even a player like Durant can be forcibly brought into Pippen by him, as long as Yes's strength is reached, even O'Neal's grandmother can be forcibly brought into Pippen by him!"

"For Yes, as his strength grows, he doesn't need any Pippen at all, or for him, everyone can be his Pippen!"

"As long as you have the shamelessness of Durant, as long as you can calmly accept Yes's handouts and gifts, you can become 'Pippen'!"

Everybody can be Pippen!

It was the second day of the game between the SuperSonics and the Kings, USA Today's front page.

The title is sensational!

Everybody's a Pippen?!

When did Pippen become so cheap?

This is one of the top five small forwards in NBA history!

But after reading this analysis report on USA Today, there was really an uproar in the world for a while.

"If there's a player who has Pippen's defense, who has Pippen's playmaking, even if his offensive ability is zero, he can be brought by Yes to be a real Pippen!"

"The real Pippen? No, that's not Pippen, that's Jordan! ”

"Pippen can't be the scoring champion, and now Durant is the scoring champion!"

"If these assumptions are true, it's a Jordan + Jordan combination!"

"It's said that the standard of the NBA regular season MVP is to make your teammates better, but can you make your teammates become Jordans?!"

"As long as the SuperSonics are in the top four in the West this year, unless there is any miracle, there is no suspense about Yes's regular season MVP!"

Everybody's a Pippen?

Holding the USA Today newspaper in his hand, Ye Si was also stunned.

Reasoned and convincing.

It's no wonder this story stirred up the world.

Seriously, Ye Si was quite surprised to see this report.

Mainly surprised by Durant's data analysis.

Before, Ye Si only knew that Durant's current strength was still very average, and the shooting rate was not very good.

Durant's shooting percentage is very low, 34% shooting, which is at the bottom of the iron in the NBA.

But it seems that this newspaper's analysis of Durant's shooting percentage.

Durant's shooting percentage is low, but extremely stable.

What does it mean to be stable?

That is, he is very iron, but there is a lower limit to iron!

That's Yes's own conclusion based on Durant's analysis.

Today's U.S. conclusion is that no matter how accurate Durant is, there is an upper limit to what is accurate, and Durant's accuracy is iron for anyone in the relative league.

Whether it is iron with a lower limit or a quasi-upper limit, this trait is quite rare!

34% of 10 shots

20 shots still 34%

30 shots still 34%

No matter how you shoot, how many shots you make, whether it's a preseason or a regular season, how you play it ends up with a 34% shooting rate.

This consistency in shooting and scoring is now being used by USA Today to black Durant's iron.

But what if one day, Durant hits 50 percent from the field?

No matter what the game, no matter what kind of opponent you face, you can have a 50% shooting rate in the end, how scary is that?

Ye Si originally selected Durant, mainly because of Durant's talent to take over the pot.

Now he suddenly discovers that Durant's traits are far more interesting than he thought.

He had overestimated Durant before, but now he found that he still underestimated Durant's potential.

Such speculation made Ye Si quite excited!

Now the world is still stirred up by the USA Today report.

And Yes and the SuperSonics are now setting their sights on the next games.

After playing the Clippers and Kings in California, the SuperSonics will return to their home court.

The three games the SuperSonics have played back home have all faced strong teams, the Grizzlies, Jazz and Pistons.

On November 8, 2007, the Seattle SuperSonics hosted the Memphis Grizzlies.

The Grizzlies are now the NBA's upstart.

It's also a brand new team.

It's not just cores like Auden and Carter that are new.

Head coach Stotts is also new.

Jerry West has built such a team, and naturally it is impossible to use the original old coach.

As a brand new team from top to bottom, the Grizzlies have been doing quite well this season.

Summer league and preseason games are not to be mentioned.

In the regular season, the Grizzlies faced the Spurs, Pacers, Trail Blazers, Jazz.

Except for the first loss to Spurs, the next three games were all won.

Especially in the first game of yesterday's Northwest road trip against the Jazz, the Grizzlies won quite convincingly.

The Jazz are not underdogs like the Pacers and Trail Blazers, they are an established powerhouse that has even been a litmus test for the big and average teams in the past.

The Jazz are a fairly stable and strong team, but also a very difficult team to beat, and beating the Jazz means that the strength of this team has been tested.

What's more, the Grizzlies' defeat of the Jazz is not an ordinary defeat.

The twin towers of the top pick Oden and Gasol directly blew up the Jazz's Oku and Boozer in Salt Lake City.

The combination of Oku and Boozer is the most disgusting inside combination in the league.

The absolute strength of both of them is not top-notch, but both of them can be inside and can also pull out to shoot.

Can you imagine two inside lines pulling you out, pulling me out, pulling the opposing center, and pulling the opponent's power forward?

It can be said that this style of playing kite to the extreme, in the current era when the center is still dominated by the traditional center, these two people are the traditional center headed by Yao Ming, the nightmare of the traditional inside.

Faced with such a nightmare combination, Oden and Gasol dominated the entire stadium.

Both Oden and Gasol can defend themselves, not only can they defend them, but they can also stay under the basket to help defend.

Auden and Gasol overwhelmed Oku and Boozer.

In addition, the Jazz's leading point guard Deron Williamson has no physical advantage over Grizzlies point guard Carter.

In this battle of the focus of the strong dialogue, the Grizzlies slaughtered the Jazz by 20 points with 108-88 away!

In the NBA, it is almost difficult to slaughter the Jazz led by Jerry Sloan.

After the slaughter of the Jazz on the road, the Grizzlies' strength rating is constantly rising!

Now the top two in the West are recognized as the Suns and Rockets, and the third is inconclusive, the Nuggets, the Lakers and the Grizzlies are now considered to have the strength of the third in the West.

This game with the Grizzlies is important, and whoever wins will be third in the West.

In addition to considering the record, this is also a battle between Oden and Durant for the top spot.

For Durant's 'shine' at the supersonic speed, Oden's mood is quite mixed.

Originally, the position next to the teacher should have belonged to him!

Auden doesn't see him as a data-driven person.

Now, although his stats are not as 'anti-sky' as Durant, they are not bad.

What's more, in the Grizzly Bears, he is also very happy.

From the management to the teammates, to the fans, they all belong to the kind of spoiled attitude towards him.

In order to better develop his various talents, the Grizzlies have blurred the point guard.

The Grizzlies' point guard is Carter.

No matter how good the point guard is, sticking to the ball is their instinct, and the guard sticks to the ball, and the interior line is very uncomfortable, especially his interior line, which needs to be exercised and grown in all aspects, it is even more uncomfortable.

If you put a dribble guard on top of the Grizzlies' point guard, although the problem of sticky ball is solved, the dribble guard is not good enough to pass the ball.

He's still in need of someone to pass the ball.

In the end, Jerry West, the team's general manager, made the decision and made Carter the team's point guard.

Having a superstar like Carter, who has once been the protagonist of the NBA, babysitter him, is really flattering to Oden.

Carter's willingness to be his nanny moved him even more.

He loves the vibe of the Grizzlies right now.

But even so, playing next to the teacher is still his dream and pursuit.

Seeing this dream and pursuit getting farther and farther away from him, Auden still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

This discomfort is not something that can be resolved by abusing Durant in summer league or in the preseason.

The key arena on November 8th was full of people and crowns!

Yes, James and Auden are now recognized by the American media as the three chosen ones.

This game between the SuperSonics and the Grizzlies can almost be equated with the SuperSonics and the Cavaliers, Yes vs. James!

It was for the media that this game was what they considered to be the most important game of the season.

For Durant, this game is also quite important.

He has been abused all the way from the summer league before, and Oden is the person who abuses him the most!

Now that he is already the scoring champion, what are you waiting for, revenge!

You can't be the top scorer, and you're blown up in every game, right?

Of course, in addition to the sparks that exploded when Oden and Durant looked at each other at the beginning, Yes and Carter's eyes also met.

Especially Carter.

Standing opposite was the person who had shattered his dreams and broken up his team!

Carter's momentum is amazing now, and his eyes have been staring at Yese.

Yes, of course, noticed.

However, after making eye contact with Carter, Yes turned his gaze back to Durant.

That task on Durant isn't done yet, and it's still far from it.

Fight to win or keep on the mission?

Yes glanced at Durant, who was staring at Oden.

Go on!
