Chapter 580: NBA's Poetry and Distance
April 16, 2008, Key Arena, Seattle.
As soon as the game between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Denver Nuggets ended, Carmelo Anthony, who was standing next to him in a suit, rushed directly to the SuperSonics' bench.
"Yes, you're not sick, are you?!"
Nima is sick!
If it weren't for seeing that Anthony wasn't here to provoke, Rondo wanted to kick it out directly.
Didn't this game beat you as you wished?
Isn't this game the one you want to do for you to play our weakest team in the first round of the playoffs?
What are you doing in such a hurry?
Or is it that when you see that the opponent is really us and Yes, you can't make a move?
Thinking of this, Rondo's face became very ugly.
Nima's!
It doesn't matter if there is a demon - glamorous - goods in the team, there is actually a tiger eyeing it outside!
At this time, where would Anthony care about the dissatisfied and angry eyes of Rondo and Durant.
Now his heart is really quite complicated.
Before the start of this game, even if the Nuggets were replaced with a full-rotation lineup, they never thought about losing this game.
However, Nima's, Yes actually went all out in this game!
Doesn't this guy know what it means to beat us in this game?
Now that the whole world is avoiding us and digging gold, how can you be so brave?!
As a Nuggets player, Anthony certainly hopes that his team can meet the weakest supersonics in the first round of the playoffs.
But as Yes's best friend, to be honest, he is not afraid to compete with Yes, and he is even excited to play with Yes, but he really doesn't want Yes to be eliminated by him in the first round.
He knows all too well what a first-round playoff exit means to Yes.
That would be a crowd of ridicule from all over the world!
Although some of them are not very good, and some of them are not good for their Nuggets teammates.
But he really wants to say that he really wants to get fifth in the West compared to sixth in the West.
He hopes to beat the Spurs in the first round in the fifth round in the West, beat the Rockets in the second round, and meet Yes in the Western Conference Finals.
When the time comes, whether he wins or Yes, it will be an experience and memory that he will never forget.
However, such experiences and memories were completely disrupted by the all-out efforts of Yes and the supersonic game, which did not follow common sense.
Ye Si looked at the 'angry' guy in front of him with some surprise.
"I don't want the fans who support me to watch a game that is doomed."
After Ye Si finished speaking lightly, the 'angry' Anthony was stunned and couldn't say anything.
I don't want the fans who support me to watch a doomed game?
Anthony mechanically looked at the supersonic fans around him who were clapping wildly, and the expression on his face was surprise, surprise, and shock.
Is it better for SuperSonics to win or lose this game?
Before the start of this game, the media around the world had already made it clear.
Anthony doesn't believe these superSonics fans won't know that it's better to lose than to win this game.
In this case, if the team wins, even if these people support it, they will at least have some regrets, right?
However, on the faces of these supersonic fans at the scene, Anthony could not see any regret and pity, and the faces of these fans were only excited and happy.
They are supporting the supersonic in this game as before, as long as they stand on the court, they will go all out to win!
"Even if the Rockets and Suns are standing in front of us after the victory, our players will fight to win every game on the court!"
"After the victory, we will think about it later, as long as we stand on the court, we will not have any other choice, as long as our goal is the highest goal, we need to defeat the strongest opponent!"
"The NBA is not only about what is in front of you, but also about poetry and distant ......"
The NBA is not only about the immediate future, but also about poetry and distant places......
Looking at Anthony, who was now dumbfounded, the old Nelson who had been watching quietly next to him had a smile on his face.
These are the words that Yes said to the whole team before the game between the SuperSonics and Nuggets began.
Before Yes said these words, the whole team's minds were a little confused.
There are players who want to still go all out to win the game, which is a value that the SuperSonics have always had before.
But some players are hoping that this game can be a little bit of a loss and send the Nuggets to the Spurs.
In the end, after saying these words of Yes, everyone's thoughts were unified.
That's victory.
For this choice of Yes, the old Nelson is very satisfied.
"This is a fairy tale of Yes!"
His choice is always to follow his heart, he is not so worldly, nor so calculating, his basketball is always so ideal and pure.
This kind of basketball is also the favorite basketball of Seattle fans.
Just like in the days of the Garfield Five Tigers, Roy and Yes knew that as long as they left their partners behind, they could win, and in the end they chose to save their partners who were about to sink the ship, and finally followed the shipwreck.
That's why Seattle fans love the Garfield Five so much.
In this cruel real society, it is really difficult to see such a pure group of people.
"Mr. Nelson, I still think it might be better for us to lose this game......"
"You don't see the poetry of victory in this game and the distant ......"
Faced with Assistant Scott Brooks' words, the elder Nelson shook his head with a smile.
Maybe it's better for us now, but for the future?
That's different.
Old Nelson looked at the faces of the current supersonic players.
That's pride, that's indomitable, unstoppable courage!
"This is the second time I've seen your fans ...... like this"
Anthony, who had recovered from the shock, had regained his composure, and his eyes had become extremely complicated when he looked at Yes: "You have never changed. β
"If you want to prove that the path you have chosen is not wrong, why should you change?"
If you want to prove that the path you have chosen is not wrong, why should you change it?
Anthony looked at Ye Si with his mouth wide open, not knowing what to say for a moment.
In the end, Anthony put away all the surprise and distraction on his face, and put his trademark social brotherly smile on his face again.
"This time, I still won't show mercy!"
Anthony smiled and left with the Nuggets players.
Billups, who was following Anthony, looked at the supersonic 9 behind him.
The expression on his face was one of surprise and surprise.
I was amazed that there really were such fairytale players in this world.
Surprisingly, they can finally get back all the glory of the Detroit Pistons Five Tigers in the playoffs!
Billups looked back at Hamilton.
Billups and Hamilton could clearly feel each other's excitement.
It's really a pie-in-the-sky surprise!
"What?! The Seattle SuperSonics are all out and beat the Nuggets under Yes?! β
The Seattle SuperSonics beat the Nuggets, and it was not just Billups and Hamilton who felt like it was pie in the sky.
Popovich and the Spurs, who had just beaten the Jazz at ATandT Arena, were also pleasantly surprised on their faces.
They really didn't expect the result of this game to be like this!
"Yes didn't deliver the nuggets to us!"
"We didn't play the Nuggets in the first round, we played the Lakers!"
Popovich, who had been looking ugly since losing to the SuperSonics in the last game, now has a relaxed expression on his face.
For the current NBA, the whole world knows that the Nuggets are much more difficult to play than the Lakers!
With the exception of Kobe Bryant and Kidd, the Lakers' roster has not proven themselves in the playoffs at all.
Randolph was very ferocious in the regular season, like the big black bear, and in the regular season, the big black bear also hammered Thiem.
But in the playoffs, can this big black bear continue to hammer Duncan?
And......
Although Ginobili and Parker are afraid of Yes, these two are not afraid of Kobe and Kidd!
In addition, with Bowen, it can be said that playing the Lakers is a hand-holding!
At least it's much better than playing a stick like the Nuggets.
In addition to a group of reckless stickers and jumpers, as well as players with explosive players like Billups and Hamilton, it can be said that the Nuggets are one of the teams that the Spurs are most reluctant to meet.
It's great to leave such a team to Yes to bite it herself.
Dog eats dog, it doesn't matter who bites and wins!
"Lakers, this is a perfect ending!"
The process is not perfect, but the result is incomparably perfect!
βYesβ¦β¦β
"Yes, boy!"
How happy Popovich is now, how depressed Phil Jackson and Kobe Bryant are.
Don't be so tricky!
Isn't it better to beat us than to play the Nuggets?
The Lakers have been preparing to play the supersonic in the past two days, okay!
In Phil Jackson's view, who do the Lakers and Nuggets choose?
No matter how stupid the supersonic is, they know how to choose the Lakers!
For the SuperSonics and the Lakers, each other is the best option.
Since it was the best choice, why did it become the way it is?
This is too unreasonable, okay!
"Maybe we're always thinking things too complicated."
After being slightly shocked, Kobe's face has returned to calm.
For him, it doesn't matter if he hits Yes or Bowen.
Anyway, these two opponents are the ones he wants to take down.
For being restrained every time he encounters Yes, Kobe Bryant cares.
He is also very concerned about the last game when he met Bowen and was made by Bowen.
But......
"Yes is truly a miracle."
Kobe Bryant's smiling words made the Lakers players around him nod their heads.
In a realistic place like the NBA, people who would make such a choice can indeed be called a miracle.
"It's just that such a miracle is destined to return to dust after a moment of flickering."
Kidd said coldly.
He has an opinion about Yes, and the opinion is very big, and the culprit who broke him up and the Nets.
If it weren't for Yes's support, would Rondo's little deflated three be able to humiliate him so much?
As an enemy of Yes, of course he is willing to see such a suicidal act as Yes.
This unexpected result of this game between the SuperSonics and the Nuggets naturally made the entire NBA sensational.
Originally, everyone thought that this year's NBA regular season ended in the last game.
I really didn't expect Yes to give you such a surprise.
With the SuperSonics beating the Nuggets at home, and with the final day of the NBA regular season all over, the East and West standings were all decided.
The Rockets, who are the first in the West, have a record of 73 wins and 9 losses, and the Rockets successfully won the super competition with the Suns for a season, and finally successfully broke the Bulls' regular season record.
The Suns, who are second in the West, have a negative record, and the Suns' performance in the first four months of the regular season this season has convinced the world that the protagonist of this season is already them, and such a strong West this season exists to be their background.
In the end, no one expected that because of Anthony and Nuggets' lethal tactics against Stoudemire, the Suns would encounter such great difficulties.
In the end, the Suns not only relinquished the first place in the West, but also failed to break the Bulls' regular season record.
Fortunately, the Suns eventually pushed their record to more than 70 wins, and this season's Suns will eventually be remembered by the entire NBA history.
After all, there are only three 70-win teams in the league so far.
The Seattle SuperSonics, who are third in the West, have a negative record, and a team that was considered the league's lowest hard power before the start of the season actually finished in the top five in NBA history.
When ESPN and major media summarized this season's regular season, the evaluation of the supersonic was all described as "miracle" and "fairy tale".
The most incredible miracle ever!
The most incredible fairy tale ever!
The Spurs, who are fourth in the West, have the best record in the division in history.
The Los Angeles Lakers, who are fifth in the West, have the best record in the division in history.
The Denver Nuggets, who are sixth in the West, have the best record in the division in history.
The Memphis Grizzlies, who are seventh in the West, have the best record in history.
The first place in the West this season and the seventh place in NBA history are all the first in the same position in NBA history!
The Oklahoma City Thunder, eighth in the West, have a negative record.
Even the Thunder, who are eighth in the West, now have a staggering 55 wins.
Compared with the west, the east looks shabby.
The Boston Celtics, who are first in the East, have a record of only a loss, the same as the eighth place in the West.
If you take into account the record of the two teams against each other and the record against the Western team, if you change the Celtics to the West, the Celtics will not even be able to enter the playoffs.
The Wizards, who are second in the East, have a negative record.
The Pistons, who are third in the East, have a negative record.
The Magic, who are fourth in the East, have a negative record.
The Raptors, who are fifth in the East, have a negative record.
The Hawks, who are sixth in the East, have a negative record.
The 76ers, who are seventh in the East, have a negative record.
The Pacers, who are eighth in the East, have a negative record.
"It's terrible!"
Here's what David Stern said when he saw the final top-eight standings in the East.
