It's a good feeling to beat the Seattle SuperSonics.

Especially on the road, beating the SuperSonics in front of the craziest Seattle fans in the NBA is definitely the coolest thing a professional player can do.

In preparation for this series against the Seattle SuperSonics, the Denver Nuggets players did not leave Seattle after the regular season and the final game of the SuperSonics.

After so many days of hard work, they finally achieved the results they wanted.

There's a saying in the NBA that the playoffs start with the first road game you win.

The Denver Nuggets kicked off the playoffs with their first game against the SuperSonics.

And for the Denver Nuggets players, beating the Seattle SuperSonics is definitely more than just the start of the playoffs.

As the NBA's most talked-about team and player, defeating Yes and the SuperSonics on the road in Seattle put the entire Denver Nuggets team in the spotlight of the world right now.

In the NBA, there are players and teams who don't want to be in the spotlight.

Under such lights, it will make them very uncomfortable.

But such a player, such a team, will definitely not include the Nuggets and Nuggets players.

After beating the SuperSonics on the road, the Denver Nuggets players felt like they were having Christmas.

Camby, Nené, Martin, J.R. Smith, and even Anthony and Billups Hamilton are now enjoying the aftermath of the SuperSonics.

Touts of the whole America, the whole world!

It's a really great feeling.

In previous NBA games, J.R. Smith always wanted to go out and find something happy after the game.

But after the first playoff game against the SuperSonics, J.R. Smith found it the most wonderful and joyful thing to be in a hotel to watch media pundits from all over the United States and around the world praise him.

Before the start of the playoffs with the SuperSonics, led by Anthony, the Nuggets' main player, the Denver Nuggets players were to ban most of the entertainment during this practice round against the SuperSonics.

After this ban came out, many Nuggets players were a little worried about whether this would affect the morale of the Nuggets.

Not only many Nuggets players, but even the head coach of the Nuggets, George Carr, has concerns about this.

Such an abstinence order, although the short-term effect is very good, but in the long run, it is very easy to cause that kind of boring mood to the players.

Most of the players are human beings, and not everyone can put all their energy into basketball like Anthony after switching to desperate mode.

If it weren't for Anthony and Billups Hamilton at the lead, George Karl wouldn't have dared to play like this with the Nuggets.

"None of the players went out without permission?"

"Nope."

Hearing the assistant's answer, George Carr nodded with great satisfaction.

Looking at the national media newspapers in his hand, George Carr nodded with satisfaction.

The newspapers in his hand are all freshly baked today.

Yesterday was the first day of the NBA playoffs.

On the first day of the NBA playoffs, there were four games, but most of the pages in these newspapers were about the SuperSonics and Nuggets.

And in these American media reports on this game, many Nuggets players have not even had as much exposure in a season as this game.

And it's all praise!

In the last game, from the team's center Camby to the team's defender Billups Hamilton, to the team's substitutes J.R. Smith and Martin.

It can be said that each and every one of them has received great recognition.

This kind of recognition has given the Nuggets players who might have been a little boring a lot of mental satisfaction.

It's hard to imagine that J.R. Smith would be willing to honestly read the newspaper all day in his hotel room.

It's a virtuous circle!

His players, his fighters, are now enjoying the feeling of beating Yes in the game!

In the NBA, the thrill of beating Yes is far stronger than the thrill of other ways from elsewhere!

This can also illustrate what Yes's status in the NBA is like now.

For a lot of NBA players these days, they haven't seen what a 21-year-old Jordan is like, but they have seen what a 21-year-old Yes is like.

In the current NBA, Yes has no championship and no MVP trophy, and his place in history may be far from beginning.

But Yes's prestige is so high that it's almost mad.

In fan voting on Twitter and other means, Yes can casually double Jordan.

Whatever it is, Jordan's beating Yes in the fan vote can now be described as a miracle.

In the current NBA, perhaps the strongest player in history is O'Neal, Duncan and Nash, among which O'Neal and Nash are simply Yes's licking dogs, licking a little bit of self-esteem.

Even Duncan, a stone Buddha who usually looks dull, as long as he is asked the question of Yes, it is not human.

If Yes was just an average sophomore rookie, would Duncan need to be so careful about responding to Yes's questions?

Duncan can say whatever he wants, and what if he says it wrong? Can't such a big senior teach a lesson to the younger generation?

It can only be said that in Duncan's subconscious, he never felt that Yes was just a junior or that his status in the NBA was above Yes.

As many media people say now, the historical status, Yes has not yet started.

But when it comes to the prestige of the NBA, Yes has achieved the level of 'no crown over Kobe, one crown over Jordan'.

Now Yes's prestige is indeed above Kobe, and O'Neal, Duncan, and Nash are at the same level, and even above these three.

As for a super Jordan, it is also natural, under the premise of the supersonic, under the premise of the most unlucky player in history, to go to the end on the most difficult road and succeed in reaching the top, what level of prestige bonus is this?

Even Jordan himself said that as long as Yes wins the championship with Durant Rondo and Millsap in the SuperSonics, it will be the most valuable championship in history.

As a veteran of the league, George Karl has been in the league for many years.

To be reasonable, he has never seen such a peculiar player in all his years in the NBA.

Such a player who has no real achievements, but can get so much prestige and respect.

Still, it's understandable to imagine those games Yes played in the NBA, the miraculous performances and records played in those games.

Although it would feel very bizarre to say.

But it's true, a rookie sophomore who is now being chased by the whole league!

The Denver Nuggets players are now enjoying beating such an icon and revered figure across the league.

The Denver Nuggets players are now even looking forward to and imagining the next game to beat Yes.

The Denver Nuggets players are very motivated and morale is very explosive, and the current Denver Nuggets players even feel that they can be sure that they can advance.

Although this round of the series with the supersonic was just a fight.

That's what the Denver Nuggets players think, and that doesn't represent George Carr.

As the head coach of the Nuggets, and as one of the most recognizable coaches in the NBA right now, George Carr never considered himself such a superficial person.

He also never thought the Denver Nuggets could easily beat the Seattle SuperSonics.

After putting down all the newspapers in his hand, George Karl picked up the technical statistics of the two teams in the previous game.

His eyes were always on Yes's numbers.

12-of-14 shooting, 30 points!

This is a very scary statistic.

Maybe it's not very high, it's just Yes's points per game average this season.

But as long as you look at Yes's shooting percentage, and then think about the defensive intensity that Yes faced against Billups and Hamilton in the last game, you can see how incredible Yes's stat is.

Before the start of this round of playoffs, George Carr scoffed at many media outlets across the United States when he said that as long as there is a Yes, the SuperSonics can win at least three games, and only three games at most.

Yes is strong, but with him alone, can he win three of his Nuggets in a series?

It's a fantasy!

But now, as long as he sees the stats of Yes in the last game, he really has to believe that if Yes really lets go, it is possible to win three games against the Nuggets in one series!

As those media pundits have said, yes is not going to beat the Nuggets in a series, but it can make the SuperSonics look like a 69-win team.

However, in the end, under the expectations of the whole United States and even the world, Yes did not go alone, but chose to do useless work to cultivate Durant.

A rookie who grows into a pre-All-Star caliber in his rookie season.

An ordinary rookie who grows into a quasi-All-Star level in one season will definitely be praised for his promising future.

But if it's Durant, it's completely different, Durant has gotten too many resources in the process of growing up, such as Yi Jianlian or other hot rookies, growing up with resources like Durant, I'm afraid they are already All-Star level players.

Since Durant has no way to become an All-Star level player, it can only be said that his potential has reached its peak.

George Carr never thought Yes was a fool.

Now that the world can see Durant's potential, he doesn't believe Yes can't see it.

Yes really doesn't have a good vision, otherwise it wouldn't have made so many Jordans, Magicians and Jabbar, Russell, Chamberlain, and so on in the 2007 draft.

Yes's vision should be on the same level as Jordan.

It's just that no matter how bad Yes's vision is, the answer has already been told, and he doesn't believe that Yes will know anything.

Yes is a stubborn person, and everyone knows that, unless Yes feels that Durant does have the potential to become an All-Star and become a superstar.

And Durant is indeed a rather deceptive player, his height, his arm span, and his position will indeed make people reverie.

"Is Durant really a genius?"

George Carr was reluctant to believe this fact that Yes believed.

"What if Durant is really the genius that Yes believes?"

Thinking of this, George Carr's brow furrowed.

If that's the case, it's terrible......

Yes's stats from the last game are too scary.

12-of-14 shooting......

This is a stat that even he believes can beat him and his team as long as Yes throws around.

Yes could have beaten him and his team, but he didn't.

Then the only explanation is that Yes is putting pressure on Durant's genius!

It's huge enough to push Durant to the pressure to break through!

As long as Durant completes the breakthrough, then coupled with the strength that Yes has, then for the Nuggets, that thing is a nightmare!

Thinking of this, George Carr even felt that his whole body was breaking out in a cold sweat.

"Well, I must be scaring myself, how is this possible!"

"How can Durant be a genius, even if I am wrong, the whole world can be wrong?"

"When Yes and the rest of the world disagree, it's Yes's fault no matter how you look at it!"

George Carr was trying his best to convince himself.

George Carr was trying to calm himself down.

"Sure enough, whether I'm scaring myself or not, in the end, it's too unsafe to score 1-0!"

George Karl doesn't believe there's a Yes-led conspiracy in his head and his team.

But he now finds that he and the Nuggets players have the same mentality.

"No matter what, in the face of Yes and Yes teams, you must not have a long night, otherwise you will have a lot of dreams!"

Training gym at Seattle SuperSonics.

After the home loss to the Denver Nuggets, the atmosphere of the whole team became a little peculiar.

It's not that the morale of the team has dropped suddenly.

In fact, losing the first game to the Nuggets did not affect the morale of the superSonics.

For superSonics, their loss to most teams won't cause them a morale drop.

It's not that they haven't lost, most of them have been dogs when facing any team since they came to the SuperSonics, and they are all the ones who are looked down upon.

Their mentality is very good.

The atmosphere of the supersonics right now is peculiar, mainly because of Durant.

This supersonic player, who has been competing with himself recently, has become even more competitive with himself after losing to the Nuggets.

Seeing Durant competing with himself like this, many players on the SuperSonics team who once envied Yes and loved Durant so much are now secretly rejoicing.

If they had encountered Durant's current situation, they would have collapsed long ago!

"This guy really stinks and hard!"

Rondo looked unhappy.

If this guy gave up on his own, Yes would naturally not continue to train him.

But this guy is already so miserable, but he is still persevering, and Yes seems to continue to support him, which is uncomfortable.

Now the rest of the SuperSonics have a peculiar attitude towards Durant.

But for Yes, he likes Durant's persistence and ruthlessness right now.

Although he still hasn't completed his breakthrough, he hasn't wasted the pressure he created.

Durant has potential, but he hasn't broken through yet, which only shows that the pressure is not enough, and the grinding is not enough.

Looking at the No. 35 teammate who was fighting against him, Yes knew he needed to put more pressure on him.
