Chapter 423: The Strongest Pass in History and Huo Zhongzhong Who Wants to Cry!
On November 13, 2007, the Seattle SuperSonics played the Orlando Magic away.
This game against the Magic is the second game of the SuperSonics' Eastern Conference road trip.
At the same time, the Magic are also the second strongest opponent of the SuperSonics in this Eastern road trip in addition to the Pistons.
The SuperSonics now sit third in the West with a 6-1 record, while the Magic are sixth in the East with a 3-4 record.
Judging from the results, the gap between the two teams is somewhat obvious.
But for the Magic coaches and players, they have a chance to win this game.
The SuperSonics are really strong relative to the average Eastern Conference team like the Magic.
But this kind of strong method is not the same as the strength of real strong teams such as the Rocket Suns.
The strength of hypersonic speed is more reflected in Yes.
Such an all-in-one team has too little room for error.
As long as Yes has some problems, it's a chance for magic!
Yes is one of the most consistent players in NBA history.
90 consecutive games with 20+ points in the regular season and 15 consecutive games with 30+ points in the playoffs.
With that kind of consistency, the Magic certainly wouldn't want them to let Yes score less than 20 points in this game.
Even if they pay the price of victory, don't want to win the madness, they can't do this.
"Yes, the whole league is saying Durant is rubbish, the whole world is saying you're wasting your time developing your teammates, but I think you're doing the right thing, and I appreciate what you're doing."
"Strength is temporary, loyalty is permanent!"
"I've never really liked James, but I think he's right when he says about Durant, Rondo and Millsap when he's around you."
"As long as these players have a heart of loyalty to you, to the superSonics, they are worth your training, you see, doesn't Millsap look like you've been groomed?"
"Yes, don't let me down, don't let Durant disappoint their loyalty to you and the SuperSonics, you, me, Durant and that nasty LeBron James, we are all loyal spokesmen, let's show the world our unique loyalty hymn in this game!"
Yes: ......
Seeing Ye Si's expressionless face, Howard, who had just read a lot of unclear lines aloud, had an embarrassed expression on his face.
This guy's eyes are also constantly drifting to Magic head coach Big Van Gundy.
Ye Si looked at Big Van Gundy, and Big Van Gundy noticed Ye Si's gaze, covered his forehead and turned his head.
It's not Ye Sihei, the 'Huo Loyalty' who is loyal and loyal.
With what he knew about this friend, he couldn't say such a coherent and logically strange but thoughtful thing.
Apparently that's what Magic head coach Big Van Gundy taught Howard.
The purpose, of course, is to let him continue to develop Durant in the Magic game.
It's all so obvious.
In that game against the Pistons, his 82 points really scared some average teams in the East.
This is a killing god!
Such a killing god is best to immerse himself in the world where he wholeheartedly cultivates his teammates.
So Van Gundy, as the head coach of the Magic, praised Durant frantically in an interview.
If it weren't for the supersonic game against the Magic soon, Durant would have been very moved.
Along the way, how much they want to be recognized.
Being able to get this kind of recognition is, of course, the thing they want the most.
But the recognition they want is not a false recognition like Van Gundy!
This kind of false identification in order to take advantage of them will not only not be moved by them, but will completely anger them!
Under the operation of Big Van Gundy, now Durant, Rondo, David Lee, Millsap, and Milicic are almost full of anger.
Both the SuperSonics and the Magic are now teams in the playoff zone.
But this game is not a focus battle, the Magic is a playoff team, yes, but it is a playoff team in the East, which is still a little too weak.
However, the game still attracted a lot of attention.
The main focus is to see if Yes continues to kill all sides in this game.
Now the whole United States is still crazy about Yes's 82 points, and the famous Internet celebrity fan on Twitter said that "not fifteen is second" makes sense, this bath water is a little sweet, and I want to drink a tank after I can dry it in one go.
The reason why 'not fifteen is second' is so popular on the Internet now is because he can always say those things that normal coconut flour can't say, but he agrees with very much.
Coconut Powder can't wait to watch another Yes game now!
"The starting lineup of the Magic team this season is center Howard, power forward Odom, small forward Keith Bogans, scoring guard Earl Watson, and playmaking guard Jamil Nelson, which is a typical lineup of one big and four small, and the Magic are more determined to play one big and four small after inviting in Big Van Gundy."
"Magic's offensive firepower this year is very strong, and it is also a big and four small tactical system, Magic is simply a reverse rocket, Magic has averaged 30 three-pointers per game this season, and the Suns' data this season is only 25 times!"
"The Magic's big four small is completely for offense, and the Rocket's big and four small are for defense, and the Magic that adds all the advantages of one big and four small to the offense, lacks enough defensive ability, and the Magic's defense is all pinned on Howard's body!"
"That's the chance for Yes's singles! As long as Yes doesn't go too deep in the three-point line, he won't be disturbed by Howard, he can shoot at will, pull at will, score at will! ”
In the media seat of Amway Arena, Wang Han could clearly feel how excited the coconut noodle reporters around him were.
These people's desire to see Ye Si brush up on another high score in this game has been revealed!
However, Wang Han also feels that the analysis of these people is reasonable.
Not only does it make sense, but that's why Van Gundy is so afraid of Yes.
The magic he is building now is really not afraid of a superstar like James who kills inside.
Come in, challenge Howard, he's welcome.
This would be a perfect way to cover up the Magic's defensive problems.
The Magic's starting lineup is an offensive player for Howard, who is all four small players on the offensive end.
When this kind of magic is attacking, it will pull the space very large, Howard is not Yao Ming, he needs such space, only in this way, Howard's power on the offensive end will be fully released.
The weakness is that the outside line of the magic is really undefended!
The defensive ability of the Magic's perimeter players can only be one-on-one to expand out to defend the opponent, or simply recycle the defense.
If you want these people to do more overall coordination or other difficult defensive coordination, they don't have the ability to do that.
If the opponent is Yes and Kobe Bryant or Maddie as a peripheral singles powerhouse, the Magic can only watch themselves being singled to death.
Van Gundy really wants Yes to be able to get to the three-point line and jump up and down like he did in those games before this season.
Jumping passes are the best, and getting Durant to shoot or Milicic challenging Howard, he'd like to see it.
It's acceptable to jump up and shoot inside the three-point line, after all, Yes needs to personally challenge Howard's help defense!
No matter which one it is, as long as Yes hits the three-point line, it is a big success!
After the start of the game, Van Gundy was in a rather nervous mood.
Now the Magic really need to win, and if they lose again, they will fall out of the playoff zone.
But whether the Magic can win now depends on Yes's selection in this game!
As the game progressed, Van Gundy's hanging heart finally let go!
Yes didn't choose to go crazy on the periphery to play Nelson!
The opposing defender for this game is Nelson.
Nelson, like Iverson, is 1.83 meters tall and fast, not as agile as Iverson, nor does he have the risky steals that Iverson did.
But there is more strength and confrontation than Iverson.
In comparison, Yes still prefers Iverson to defend.
Nelson's defense of Yes is a dead sticker, and if you don't break through me, I won't give up, which makes Yes a little speechless.
The Magic didn't want him to be on the outside, they wanted him to be inside the three-point line to challenge Howard.
Ye Si looked at the number that was beating on the current superstar system.
45…… 37…… 51…… 59…… 43…… 29……
The shit-like feel even appears under 30, which is extremely rare.
With his current strong throwing ability, such a feeling can only hold a concert here.
Ye Si leaned his back against Nelson's entanglement, and with a light half-turn, he cleaned Nelson, who was as stocky as a small steel cannon.
"So fast!"
And it's really good!
Even Nelson, who hopes to be broken through by Yes, is still in his heart for a moment of incredibleness at the moment of being broken through.
Nelson was only shocked in his heart, and after being breached, Nelson immediately chased after him, and his goal was not to defend Yes.
Instead, he drove Yes in front of Howard.
Not only him, but his teammates are also slowly shrinking now.
With their defensive ability, that's all they can do.
Howard was thrilled to see Yes come in, yes is this ready to challenge him or ready to break through the ball?
Looking at this posture, it must be a challenge to him!
If it is a breakthrough ball, now the siege net of the magic players is almost formed, and then pass the ball, it will be really too late, and the difficulty is too great!
Almost as soon as Yes jumped, Howard rushed over.
Howard's speed of the defense even startled Yes.
Last season, Howard's help defense was strong and he restrained his off-ball form.
In the first game between the SuperSonics and the Magic last season, he and the SuperSonics lost to the Magic.
Howard's help defense has been quicker this season.
It's not that it's faster, it's that the judgment is better, and the action is more concise, so it seems to be faster!
No, not only is it quicker, it's also more aggressive.
While Howard helped defend his shots, he actually blocked all his passing routes to Milicic, even the passing routes to Durant.
This ability to assist in defense......
This guy has a good idea this season?!
Howard's help defense is definitely the best help defense Ye Si has ever seen!
Even Duncan, who finished in the playoffs last season, didn't put so much pressure on him!
Still, his playful passing can break through Howard's blockade.
It's just that a more difficult childlike pass is needed, and such a difficult pass is beyond Milicic's ability.
He can pass, Milicic can't.
Cover! Cover! Cover!
I'm going to block this ball Yes!
Howard is quite excited now, this time, Yes has broken through too deeply!
Now he's got Yes completely covered!
Seeing Yes make a shooting motion, Howard's right hand was already hungry and thirsty.
Magic head coach Van Gundy on the sidelines is now watching with excitement and anticrisy as to what is about to happen on the court.
Just wait another 1 second, and that crisp 'pop' sound will come!
"This ball is mine!"
When Howard in the air fanned out his right hand, he even felt that he had heard the crisp sound of the lid in advance!
Just quickly.
The excitement in Howard's eyes, who was excited to meet the moment of blocking Yes, disappeared instantly.
In its place, there was a deep sense of horror.
It's not a shot, it's a pass!
Yes, who was in a good shooting position, did not push the basketball out, but threw the basketball out to the side and back with his right hand to the left without looking at anyone!
"Yes didn't make such a shot to shoot, it was to dodge Howard's defense and create a passing opportunity for himself?!"
"Howard made a move ahead of time! Yes teased Howard! ”
Reggie Miller was shocked, really shocked, the judgment of this game, this split-second decision, this is really just a sophomore rookie?!
Even a seasoned player like him can't make such a good judgment.
Of course, he can feel how good Howard's defense is this time, and Yes can actually come up with such a way to break through Howard's defense!
Yes's pass is more rapid than the previous passes.
Will the ball be able to get in place?
This extreme operation is shocking!
In Reggie Miller's memory, he had never seen a passer who could handle this speed, such a high limit pass!
Not even a magician can do that!
Just when Reggie Miller was worried, the Magic fans at Amway Arena gasped.
Is it really in place?!
Reggie Miller looked at Durant who was jumping high on the court without defense, and his face was full of horror.
Can this kind of ball be passed in place?!
Take the initiative to tease Howard and take the initiative to look for Durant, this is definitely not a pass forced by Howard, this is Yes initiative!
In other words, there is no such thing as a passing that no one else in the world can control, and Yes is sure that it can be controlled!
This kind of speed can be controlled without looking at people's passes?!
Thinking of this, Reggie Miller's eyes widened, and he couldn't say a word of surprise.
Brush it up!
The basketball thrown by Durant fell into the basket with a crisp sound.
The first shot of the game was hit, which really surprised Durant.
It looks pretty good in the hand today.
Amway Arena is quiet now.
It was as if the entire arena had been silenced by his three-point shot!
Of course, Durant knows that the fans on the scene, the players of the Magic, the head coach of the Magic, the commentators on the scene, and the reporters on the scene are not quiet for him.
They weren't silenced by his three-pointers, and the reason they were silent was Yes's pass.
The ball was all in place, and to be honest, he was surprised.
Durant could feel that his catch was already at his limit.
A little bit faster, he won't be able to pick it up.
But if it's a little slower, a little lower, Howard can intercept the ball.
It's really just right!
Is this what Nash calls a pass beyond the level of a magician?
Big Van Gundy now had a stunned look on his face.
In an interview before the game, he said more than once that Yes has the most powerful passing ability in history.
But he really never believed it.
He's just talking.
It's like he said Durant is one of the best players in the league.
That's just his argument for the sake of the game's strategic considerations.
In addition to the heart, the person who plays tactics can't count when he speaks!
Can ...... now
Yes really made the strongest pass ever?!
Durant also really threw the strongest pass in history?!
Thinking of this, the look on Big Van Gundy's face changed instantly.
In the last game against the Pistons, the Pistons wanted Yes to keep singles, Yes to be very 'obedient' to keep singles.
Not only did he keep playing singles, but he was also crazier than the Pistons imagined, and took the initiative to increase the difficulty for himself.
Right now!
In this game, he said Yes had the most powerful passing in history, saying that Durant was one of the best players in the NBA.
He never thought Yes and Durant would believe that.
His purpose isn't to convince Durant and Yes either, he's just pressuring.
Since you pass the ball so well, since Durant is so strong, you pass the ball, you let Durant attack!
After Yes was provoked by the Pistons, he did what the Pistons wanted, and he made it more difficult to beat the Pistons to despair.
Yes won't be by me in this game, right?
Don't you want to see me pass?
I'll pass the ball now!
Don't you want to see the best passing of all time?
I'll show you the strongest pass in history!
Don't you want to see Durant become one of the best players in the NBA?
Then I'm going to make Durant one of the best players in the NBA in this game!
This is the typical domineering basketball style that the entire NBA now belongs to Yes!
Really Yes?!
Big Van Gundy was really dumbfounded now.
He gave so many compliments before the game, he really just talked, and really didn't think about provoking Yes or Durant?!
Is this the limit for Durant?
Ignoring Howard, who was stunned after being teased by him, Yes gave Durant a thumbs up.
Seeing Yes's outstretched thumbs, Durant was excited.
Rondo is gritting his teeth, when he shoots three-pointers, why doesn't there be this kind of encouragement that can improve his shooting percentage?!
It's not fair, the second master thinks it's unfair!
Durant's current level of receiving pots can only receive childlike passes at this level at most.
But it's enough.
Howard's defensive ability in this game is beyond Yes's imagination, but now he has Durant.
A peerless pot that can receive a childlike pass in the middle of the peerless period or even infinitely close to the late peerless stage!
In this game, his hand is so low, and he just played a game with 82 points, and the opponent will definitely score against him, if he doesn't operate well, he may not be able to score 20 points in this game.
Although he doesn't care much about data and records, it's a pity that the 20+ of 90 consecutive games is broken like this.
What's more, this record is a very important record to maintain his deterrent.
Moreover, Howard's defensive ability in this game was unexpectedly strong.
Originally, according to Yes's plan, with his understanding of Howard's defensive ability, he only needed to use a childlike pass in the middle of his life.
Unexpectedly, Howard forced him to use a childlike pass that was infinitely close to the peerless late stage.
For Yes, he can also pass the peerless childlike pass, the key is that this kind of heavenly pass is not even Durant now.
"Is it a shot or a pass this time?!"
"Oh no, this time it's a shot!"
"No, it's still a pass?!"
"What about this time?!"
"Shooting or passing? Or passing! ”
"This time it's definitely a shot!"
"How is that possible?!"
"It's all going to be a pass?!"
Howard, who has made a big move this season, is really ready to show off his strength in this game.
Defend Yes, that's the key to his competition for the best defensive arena this season!
But now, he's about to be played with and cry!
In this game against the SuperSonics, Howard wanted to cry when he played.
Van Gundy, who was on the sidelines, looked at Yes, who also wanted to cry and was angered by him, it was terrible!
Didn't he want to see Yes's strongest pass in history?
Every assist Yes gives to Durant is the strongest pass-level assist ever!
Don't you like whipping corpses so much?
Van Gundy was speechless now.
Magic fans, on the other hand, were speechless.
He swears he'll never be thrilled again!
I can't play!
Reggie Miller, who was on the commentary seat, watched this magical game and really commented the whole game with an incredible mood!
Howard, who is so strong in helping to defend, was actually in foul trouble when he was played by Yes?!
Yes really didn't deliberately make fouls, but Howard had to foul in order to intercept Yes's strongest passes in history!
Howard's control is already very good, but under this extreme operation, Howard's control is the real control, after all, this is Howard's fourth season.
Yes's control in the game is so unreal!
116 to 108!
At the end of the game, looking at the score on the live scoreboard, Reggie Miller's mood was deeply shocked.
Yes only made 6 shots in this game, 5-of-6 shooting, 11-of-16 free throws, 21 points, 12 rebounds and 16 assists.
Didn't beat the Magic with his scoring prowess second only to Jordan.
With his strongest passing ability in history!
The second-highest scoring ability in history + the strongest passing ability in history?
This year's rookie has a bunch of Magic + Jordan.
It's all water.
It turns out that the real magician + Jordan is here?!
