"Bowen was too arrogant just now!"

At the end of the first quarter, when I got off the court, I was provoked by Bowen and made the supersonic players quite unhappy.

Sitting on the bench and watching the rotation lineups of the two teams on the court inextricably matched, the expression on Yes's face was not as dignified as in the first quarter.

He scored zero points in the first quarter against the Spurs, and it certainly wasn't because Bowen could really guard him.

And although the words that Bowen said to him just now were provocative to him, they were definitely not arrogant.

It's just the last stubbornness of being an ATM.

After playing hundreds of games with him in what he said he called his dreams, Bowen's defense has really improved a lot.

It's not the progress of his acting, but the real progress.

Although I don't know how Bowen did it, Bowen's unmisplaced situation on the defensive end of the game really surprised Yes.

It's just clear that even if Bowen's defensive experience improves, his physical talent is still there.

If Yes wants to, he can easily destroy Bowen on the court.

It's just that, destroying Bowen is not his priority option.

Bowen is an excellent collaborator.

Although Bowen is now a little nervous by him, it is getting better and better.

When Yees faced Bowen in last year's playoffs to beat him three times in a row, he was still worried that Bowen would be slightly doubted by Popovich and the Spurs.

But now, he really didn't know how Bowen did it.

It can actually make the Spurs trust him more than ever.

It can be said that he is really reluctant to lose such an excellent collaborator as Bowen now.

In the first quarter of the game, he didn't make a single shot under Bowen's defense because Bowen also saw him.

In the past, when he needed to cooperate with Bowen and let Bowen cooperate with him, he took the initiative.

Wherever he wants Bowen to appear, Bowen has to appear obediently.

He knows Bowen's physical gifts and defensive prowess inside out.

But now that Bowen's defensive ability has been greatly improved, his formula-like and cooperative style is not very good.

For example, Bowen is still standing in front of him, he last season, he let Bowen stand in front of him, Bowen can stand in front of him, although Bowen is not out of position defensively, but the defensive pressure on him is negligible.

But the first quarter of this game is different, Bowen appeared in front of him is no longer created by him, although he also has the element of slowing down to let Bowen catch up, but there are still some elements that Bowen took the initiative to post.

That is, Bowen, who is now in front of him, is under negligible defensive pressure on him.

Throughout the first quarter, he kept jumping up in front of Bowen, and then kept throwing the ball to Durant on the side, which was calculating the degree of pressure on Bowen's defense.

According to his first-quarter estimates, if his current three-point attributes are still the same as they were in last season's playoffs, then he won't shoot higher than 30% against a defense like Bowen's.

But now, his three-point shooting stat is 89!

Now his three-point shooting attribute is more than 40 points higher than last season!

Bowen's efforts over the past few months have improved his defense, making his defense no longer completely acting, but has some real elements, but these real elements are still not so good in front of his current offensive ability.

However, Bowen's defensive improvement is indeed quite a headache.

At the very least, he can't play Bowen as much as he wants now.

Last season, he could play Bowen from mid-range, close-range, long-range, three-pointer, all-round shot, all-round shot.

But now......

With the attributes of his current shooting methods other than three-point shooting, there is no way to play Bowen in these ways.

However, for him, the three-pointer was enough for this game.

After all, Popovich and the Spurs were using Bowen to defend him alone in this game.

And Popovich and the Spurs have a high level of trust in Bowen now, and even the general defensive force has been placed on defending other superSonics players.

Now the teammates around Ye Si are still complaining about Bowen, and the Seattle SuperSonics fans around him are still cheering, but it is clear that they are not as enthusiastic as before the game started.

At the end of the first quarter, the score was 20-16, with the Seattle SuperSonics trailing by four points.

When he went all out to observe Bowen's strength in the first quarter of the game and formulate a new method of playing Bowen, the team really relied on Durant's support.

If it weren't for Durant's performance of 14 points on 4-of-11 shooting and 4-of-10 three-pointers in the first quarter, the Seattle SuperSonics would have been very miserable after the first quarter of this game.

Don't think Durant doesn't shoot 4-of-11 from the field.

If you compare the Seattle SuperSonics with the data of the rest of the 9-shot-0, it really is not the same thing.

Because Popovich even moved the defensive force away from him in the first quarter, it can be said that the Spurs defensive pressure faced by the players on the supersonic court was extremely high.

Under so much defensive pressure, the performance of other Seattle SuperSonics players on 0-of-9 shooting is of course abnormal, no matter what defense they face, 9 shots, and 0% shooting is abnormal.

But Durant's 4-of-11 shooting was definitely a surprise!

In the entire league, in the face of the Spurs' defense in the first quarter of this game, there are probably not so many players who can shoot 4 of 10 three-pointers in a single quarter.

It can be said that Yes was quite satisfied with Durant's performance in the first quarter.

With Durant by his side this season, his control of the game has really improved qualitatively.

Last season, against an opponent like Spurs, where could he control the game so calmly.

Yes was pleased with the first quarter of the game between the Spurs and the SuperSonics, and the game as a whole was still under his control.

After the start of the second quarter, the Seattle SuperSonics played quite tightly with the Spurs' rotation lineup under the leadership of Barria, David Lee, Wilkins, Quentin Richardson and Nick Collisson.

The Spurs' rotation is very good offensively.

Ginobili, Horry, Barry, Bonner, Oberto, this is one of the league's best rotations.

To have height, to have experience, to attack and attack, that is, the defense is a little weaker.

On the SuperSonics' side, in order to deal with the weak defense of the Spurs' rotation lineup, Nelson Sr. did not play Sessions, Tucker and Kwame Brown in the rotation lineup.

Nelson Sr.'s idea is very simple, which is to play against the Spurs' rotation lineup!

It's also impossible for Tucker and Sessions and Kwame Brown to guard against the Spurs' rotation led by Ginobili.

When the time comes, the offense can't be attacked, and the defense can't be prevented, so it will be quite troublesome.

It's better to fight the Spurs in a desperate bet, maybe there are still some opportunities.

The morale of the superSonics players is good right now, and it is possible to play at a high level if they have the opportunity.

It turned out that Nelson Sr.'s judgment was very correct.

After the game entered the rotation time of the second quarter, although the supersonic rotation lineup was still not the opponent of the Spurs' rotation lineup, the competition between the two sides was very fierce.

I have to say that after more than a season of growth, the current supersonic rotation lineup is very good, and they can form a lot of different lineups when facing different opponents.

And none of these lineups are very weak.

In the competition with the Spurs' rotation lineup, the Seattle SuperSonics' rotation lineup finally lost, the score of the two sides was 14-11, the two teams played a five-minute rotation lineup, and when Yees returned with the main team one by one, the score on the court had become 34-27.

34 to 27!

It's not a tough scoreline.

For the supersonic fans at the scene, they don't know how many times they have seen Yes lead the team to catch up with the score difference even more than this.

Just now...... When the starters of both teams returned to the field, the supersonic fans in the stadium did not have such a strong self-confidence.

It's not just these supersonic fans who don't have that much self-confidence.

Even the American media and journalists, who have always had extraordinary confidence in Yes, don't have enough confidence.

In the first quarter, Bowen, the strongest defensive player in history, performed too well!

So good that the whole world was shocked.

After the first quarter of the game between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Spurs, Twitter and Youtube were full of video highlights of Bowen's defense of Yes in the first quarter.

There are even a lot of fans online who have launched a campaign to make Bowen an All-Star.

While people all over the world know that it is impossible for Bowen to be selected as an All-Star.

It's January 25th, and Bowen is playing his first game of the season.

Whether it's out of fairness or otherwise, there's no way the league can make Bowen an All-Star.

But regardless of whether Bowen can be selected as an All-Star or not, Bowen only used one game to let netizens on the Internet launch such an activity, and you can see how incredible his performance in the first quarter was!

"Bowen's presence allowed Popovich to even pinch the rest of the SuperSonics with all of his defensive strength in the first quarter!"

"If it weren't for Durant's 4-of-10 three-pointers in the first quarter and the SuperSonics' excellent play on the defensive end, Popovich could have taken the Spurs away with the victory in the first quarter!"

The game restarted in the second quarter, and Barkley, a die-hard coconut fan, is now extremely pessimistic.

After being a coconut fan for so long, this game is definitely the most desperate game he has ever seen!

The whole world knows that the Seattle supersound was originally supported by Yes alone, and now Yes one-on-one is actually limited!

How can supersound still play?

Looking at the Yes on the court who was still getting rid of Bowen, Barkley was really desperate now!

"Yes catches the ball!"

Yes received the ball one-on-one like in the first quarter.

While Bowen's off-ball defense is magical, it's impossible to limit Yes catches one-on-one.

Just the moment Yes received the ball, Bowen was already on Yes's body.

According to Yes's choice in the first quarter, in the face of Bowen's almost perfect defense, even if he jumps, he will only throw the ball to Durant, who is ready to receive the ball early!

But?!

"Yes shot?!"

Looking at the almost extreme defense on the court facing Bowen, the Yes who came out to catch the ball outside the three-point line actually didn't pass the ball like before, but shot?!

It's not just Kenny Smith and Barkley who are extremely surprised right now.

Even Popovich on the sidelines was quite surprised.

Do you have to shoot such an opportunity?

Popovich smiled after being surprised.

If it weren't for the desperate situation, how could Yes's selfless character make such a shot?

This season's Bruce is stronger than last season!

When Ye Si made a move, Ye Si could clearly feel that the air around him was frozen, and the entire Key Arena was quiet and terrifying!

And Ye Si's eyes were staring at the constantly beating number at this time!

34…… 41…… 51…… 47…… 65……

65！

Limited defense, 65 feel, and ...... 89 three-point attributes!

The basketball was drawn from Ye Si's fingertips, and the more than 25,000 pairs of eyes in the entire arena were all staring at the basketball flying in the air.

This is Yes's first shot in this game!

According to Bowen's desperate defense of Yes in the first quarter of the game, and the shot that Yes chose to make under the desperate defense just now.

As long as you are not a fool, you know that this shot is Yes's last struggle!

If the ball can't be hit, then Yes will completely lose the chance to perform a miracle in this game!

Jordan had already gotten up from the couch the moment Yees made his move.

Will he change to the nearest eighth TV in this game, this goal is almost decisive!

From his professional point of view, Bowen's ball has been defended to perfection!

Just like those classic defenses of Bowen in the first quarter.

It's just that......

Brush it up!

Looking at the hollow basketball on the TV, Jordan's eyes contracted rapidly in anticipation, and after a short silence on the TV in front of him, there was a huge cheer that had not been seen since the game began!

Hit?!

Jordan stared blankly at the supersonic nine on the TV with his right hand raised, and couldn't say a word for a while.

How is this possible?!

Redick looked at the score on TV, and after the first half, the two teams actually played to a 45-45 draw!

Looking at the score on TV, Reddick's glass with inferior bulk red wine in his hand was a little unsteady.

The 45-45 score is not the scariest of all.

The most terrifying thing is that Yes actually scored in the second quarter, and it was a great shot in front of Bowen more than once!

3 of 7 shots, 12 points!

In the first half of the game, he scored 12 points in front of the god-like Bowen!

The happy expression on Reddick's face was completely gone.

And on the bench of the Spurs in the key arena, Popovich looked at the score of 45-45 on the sidelines, and his face was also a little surprised.

Bowen's performance is still perfect.

Forcing Yes to gamble on his life, Yes is indeed Yes, and the hit rate of gambling is also quite good.

"Isn't it just a tie? The world sees Yes's chance to kill us, and I see ...... The goddess of victory is waving to us! ”

Popovich smiled as he greeted Bowen as he came off the court.

The score was tied and no one up or down the Spurs panicked.

Because......

"The game is still in my hands!"

After Bowen finished speaking lightly, he walked into the players' tunnel with the Spurs players.

He could feel that Yes could only shoot three points in the face of his fear!

Only left a strong back for hundreds of millions of fans in front of the TV!
