February 20, 2009, Seattle, Key Arena.

The Seattle SuperSonics host the Lakers, who are now second in the West.

This game between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Lakers is the third meeting between the two teams this season.

In the first two encounters, the Los Angeles Lakers all lost, the first was the scoring battle between Kobe and Yes, Kobe and Yes both scored 90+ points.

But in the end, the Seattle SuperSonics beat the Lakers because of Yes's greater efficiency.

The second meeting between the two teams was before the All-Star break, when the Los Angeles Lakers were beaten by Yees at home in the last minute.

So far this season, the Los Angeles Lakers have lost just eight games.

Two of those losses went to the Seattle SuperSonics.

It can be said that the Seattle SuperSonics, who are now seventh in the West this season, are simply the nemesis of the Lakers, who are second in the West.

Of course, in terms of record, the SuperSonics are the Lakers' nemesis this season, and there is nothing wrong with this statement.

But in reality, the scores of the first two games between the two teams were very, very anxious.

Therefore, it is actually more accurate to say that the strength of the two teams is similar, and between the two teams.

And as analyzed by many expert media, the reason why the Lakers and SuperSonics have played so intensely this season is because the two teams are really, really similar.

The Lakers' strongest player is their shooting guard Kobe Bryant.

And the Seattle SuperSonics' strongest player is also their shooting guard, Yes.

The Lakers' playmaker is the master of the Rondo-style guard, or rather the cancer, Kidd.

And the supersonic organizational defender is simply Rondo himself, the ancestor of the Rondo guard.

The Lakers' interior line is Andrew Bynum and Randolph, a very strong pair, all of whom have reached the top of the list.

The Seattle SuperSonics have Milicic and Millsap, two who are also top-notch insiders, and in addition to that, there is also a rotation on the bench with an equally strong Marc Gasol.

It can be said that from the comparison of these two teams, four of the five starting positions of the two teams are right!

The Lakers used to have an advantage on the inside and an advantage on the outside, whether they were facing the Spurs, Mavericks or Nuggets, and they were on the dominant side when facing the other three of the top four in the West.

But the amazing thing is that in the face of the supersonics, who are seventh in the West, the Lakers have these advantages, which is really no advantage!

Even the first two games were at a disadvantage.

If it weren't for Ibaka's disability relative to Artest, the Lakers' first two games might not have been as anxious as the SuperSonics.

It is precisely for this reason that many NBA experts say that if the Los Angeles Lakers do not meet the Seattle SuperSonics in the playoffs, this season, the Los Angeles Lakers are likely to represent the team in the West to the Finals.

The Lakers faced the Spurs, who are now the first in the West, although the triangle tactics were restrained by Bowen, but the players were superior both inside and outside, and the Lakers defeated the Spurs in the playoffs last year.

The Lakers face the Mavericks, who are now third in the West, with an advantage on the inside and an advantage on the outside, and many people say that this season's Mavericks, like the Mavericks in 2007, are regular season teams that rely on offense.

The Lakers face the Nuggets, who are now fourth in the West, and they have an advantage on the inside, as well as on the outside.

The Lakers face the Grizzlies, who are fifth in the West, and they have no advantage on the inside, but they have an advantage on the outside, and the bench thickness is strong.

Only in the face of the Seattle SuperSonics, except for Artest, who is not a strong offensive point, has an advantage over Ibaka, the others really can't take advantage of the SuperSounds.

Milicic has been playing Bynum in the first two games.

Millsap and Marc Gasol are two of Randolph's toughest players in the league.

The result of the showdown between Kobe Bryant and Yes is also less wins and more losses.

And Kidd and Rondo, this is even more of a confused account, the two look lively every time they play each other, but at the end of the game, the data styles of the two are almost identical, single-digit points + double-digit rebounds + double-digit offense + miserable shooting percentage.

It is precisely because the two teams played too close in the previous two games this season and the strength was too close.

So although the Lakers are second in the West and the SuperSonics are only seventh in the West, the SuperSonics fans are still very, very looking forward to the result.

Among the top five teams in the West, the SuperSonics are most afraid of the Grizzlies, followed by the Mavericks and Spurs, and the Nuggets are also afraid, but yes, they can win inexplicably, but the Lakers, SuperSonics fans feel that they can be just every time they encounter them.

"Kenny, would it be interesting for two teams to make the playoffs at the level they are now?"

Interesting?

Kenny Smith is speechless about the bad taste of his partner.

The Lakers and SuperSonics entered the playoffs in their current rankings, one second and the other seventh, just collided.

This does produce a rather interesting result, which is that the Lakers will either be the champion or be blacked out by the SuperSonics.

The Lakers are really afraid of the Seattle SuperSonics this season.

Kenny Smith thinks that Barkley probably wants to play more than just the Lakers second and SuperSonics seventh in the playoffs.

Barkley probably wants to see the Lakers first and the SuperSonics eighth to play in the playoffs!

It should be said that the current ranking of the west is a ranking that all coconut flour is very willing to see.

Judging by the fact that Durant will not return until the second round this season.

Whether it is playing the Spurs, the Mavericks or the Nuggets in the first round of the supersonics, the hope is not so big, but against the Lakers, the chance is the greatest.

Barkley and the coconut fans he represents really want to play the Lakers in the first round of the playoffs!

In the eyes of supersonic fans and coconut fans, the Lakers are not rookies in front of the supersonics, but they are also teams of the same grade as their own team.

And on the court, the Lakers' players don't think so.

This season, the Lakers lost twice, yes.

But the first time was Kobe Bryant who insisted on scoring points with Yes!

And what about the second time?

Who would have thought that the game was coming to the last second, and the general shoelaces in front of it were yes, and suddenly came!

It's all an accident, okay!

Therefore, not only the Lakers, but other players don't think the Lakers are afraid of the supersounds, even Kobe Bryant himself doesn't think the Lakers are afraid of the supersounds.

Yes was the first player he admitted that the strength was above him, he admitted the strength of Yes, but he was never afraid of Yes!

Yes has the same talent, the same breath as him, it's already obvious.

And Yes's aura is stronger than him, Kobe always feels that he can't control his breath, but Yes has a way to control it.

As for why Yes has a way to control it, Kobe Bryant doesn't know.

This is also what Kobe Bryant has been working on recently.

Except for Phil Jackson forcing him to work hard to see Yes's All-Star Game and see how Yes plays the triangle offense, Kobe Bryant has been focusing on improving in this area in recent times.

Still, it's the same as he can't understand the passes that Yes is making a triangle attack.

He couldn't figure out how Yes felt bad or good in the hand.

In fact, when Kobe Bryant was very young, he felt the constant talent of his hand in a game.

Really, I don't know if it's middle school or high school, but he felt his talent for playing iron and scoring explosively.

There's no way to control that.

He really didn't know how to control his feel.

So, he's been working harder, harder than anyone else.

He hopes to use his strength to change the impact of his touch on his shooting percentage.

In a sense, he was indeed successful.

Up to now, no matter how bad his hand is in a game, his hard power can make his shooting percentage look less ugly.

At the very least, he is much better than his two friends, Maddie and Iverson.

At least, the hit rate is no worse than these two.

Before meeting Yes, Kobe Bryant really felt that he had reached his limit.

He uses his hard work and hard power, although he can't control his talent, but he harnesses his talent.

But the advent of Yes has changed all that.

He really didn't expect that there was a second person with such talent in this world.

He really didn't think that there was a person in this world who could use this talent better than him, he controlled this talent, and yes, that was completely controlling this talent!

Therefore, in the last game, Kobe Bryant was really shocked at that time when he saw Yes suddenly shoelace Yes come and kill himself.

At the same time, in addition to the shock, Kobe Bryant is also quite expectant.

If Yes can control this talent, why can't he?

Talent is a feeling, and there's no way to communicate with each other, and he asked some during the All-Star break.

Yes, they were all silent, and they even felt that what he said was inexplicable.

He can understand that.

Basketball is sometimes just a feeling.

He had this feeling, Maddie had a different feeling, Iverson Carter and others had another feeling.

It's a feeling that you can comprehend on your own.

Therefore, for Kobe, Yes is stronger than him, and it will not make him afraid, but it will only make him want to move forward and beat Yes more.

"Yes, after this game, you may lose something very important."

As Milicic and Bynum jumped the ball, Bryant said with a smile as he walked beside Yes.

Losing something very important?

Am I going to lose this game?

Not necessarily.

Yes looked at Ibaka's body.

Maybe a month ago the supersonic loss was more likely, but now, it really doesn't have to.

Milicic and Bynum jumped almost at the same time, and Bynum, who was more talented in bouncing, defeated Milicic with better consciousness this time.

The Lakers got the first offense of the game.

The Lakers wanted to win this game, and they were no longer ready to play with Kobe Bryant's willful play.

After Kidd got the jump ball, he didn't hesitate and threw the basketball directly at the fast-breaking Artest.

"Kidd's shot was fantastic!"

"It's a Rondo-style fast-break shot!"

What about Rondo style Nima!

"Artest is on a fast attack!"

"Artest is ready to run over Ibaka directly like before!"

Don't call it Lao Tzu Artest, Lao Tzu is now called Charity World Peace!

Artest's possession of the ball is very good.

But compared to those technical small forwards, Artest's dribbling action is very hard, and the breakthrough is a rather reckless breakthrough, it seems that the dribble is not very coordinated, and there is some shoulder opening, but it is very stable.

There are not too many flowery intestines, very stable, very reckless, quite stylish.

In the previous two games, Artest's style of breakthrough was invincible in front of Ibaka.

But this time, Artest felt some obstacles.

Artest pushed Ibaka away with his shoulder and made a layup.

However, after completing the layup, Artest was a little surprised.

This young man who could once be crushed by him wantonly, this game seems to be a little different.

Artest's style of play looks very blind.

But compared to those technical streams, Ibaka really likes Artest's style of play even more.

In today's game between the Lakers and the Seattle SuperSonics, the Lakers and Kobe Bryant are aiming for victory.

So even if Kobe Bryant still wants to compete with Yes, he honestly endures the thought of competing with Yes when he is defending Yes, and chooses to cooperate with Artest and encircle Yes.

"The Lakers' defensive intensity against Yes is really great in this game!"

"However, Yes's passing is so good, and with bags like Artest and Kobe, Yes can also find Ibaka!"

34…… 42…… 55…… 61…… 66……

The feel of Yess in this game is very average.

Instead of attacking against Kobe and Artest's bag and throwing the ball to Ibaka, Ibaka's open shot may have a higher shooting percentage than his strong shot.

Therefore, in the face of high-intensity defense like Kobe Bryant, Artest and the Lakers, Yes is very calm.

As long as there is Ibaka, there is a point of play, he is not afraid of anyone's bag, two or three, it doesn't matter.

As long as Ibaka can get his hands on those super hard balls, he's not afraid of any packs.

That is, standing next to him is Ibaka, if Durant, the Lakers defend him so fiercely, the Lakers estimate that the first quarter will collapse.

Of course, if he was next to Durant, the Lakers would not dare to defend him like this.

In the face of the Lakers' ultra-high-intensity defense, Yes played very calmly.

Jump up and brush out a good feel to throw one, and throw the pot to the vacant Ibaka if there is no feel.

It seems that the Lakers' efforts to increase defensive intensity have not affected him in the slightest.

"Sure enough, it's the master of the organization!"

Phil Jackson, who was on the sidelines, was really amazed by what was happening on the court.

This kind of free retraction, this kind of judging the situation, this kind of ball quotient, is really incredible!

Since coaching Yes at the All-Star Game, Phil Jackson doesn't feel so good every night when he sleeps with Bass Jr.

Every night, my mind is full of Yes.

Yes's hands, Yes's legs, Yes's mind, yes's passes, Yes's smile, Yes's paralyzed face, he felt like everything in his mind had become the idea of imagining Yes.

Phil Jackson felt that he had really fallen for a virus called Yes.

This is simply an inexplicable virus!

Seeing Yes's master-like performance on the court, and then looking at Kobe Bryant's constant suffocation on the court, Phil Jackson really had a feeling of crying and laughing.

I didn't let you stop from making a move, and I didn't necessarily let you hold back.

If you know when to shoot, when to pass, when to do something, do I need to think yes every night?

In this game, he and the Lakers had a lot of defensive intensity against Yes, and the SuperSonics also had a lot of defensive intensity against Kobe.

Although it is not a two-man bag all the time, Rondo will often put Kidd to help Yes defend Kobe.

Kobe Bryant is indeed inferior to Yes in terms of offensive or passing choices when facing Yes and Rondo's defense.

Yes can trust Ibaka completely and can successfully pass the ball to Ibaka's hands.

Let's not talk about whether Kobe can successfully find Kidd under the bag of Yes and Rondo, even if Kobe has the ability to pass the ball to Kidd, Kobe probably feels in his heart that instead of passing to Kidd, it is better to throw it on his own!

Kobe Bryant is really suppressing his desire to attack in this game, but sometimes he really can't help it.

This can't help but make Phil Jackson next to him very jumpy.

But Jean Yes's eyes were shining.

In this game between the SuperSonics and the Lakers, the two teams played very anxiously.

The two teams are inextricably linked on the inside, on the outside, and even on the bench.

The most incredible thing is that both Ibaka and Artest have difficult points to score.

The two teams finished the first quarter, 26-26, tied at 26.

At the end of the second quarter, 49-50, the Seattle SuperSonics trailed by one point at home.

At the end of the third quarter, 75-75, the two teams were tied again!

In this game, the two teams alternated leads in the first three quarters and tied more than ten times.

Even with three minutes left in the game, both teams were tied 96-96.

Until the last three minutes of the game, the Lakers were still frantically wrapping Yes, and Yes signaled Rondo not to come over to help defend in the last three minutes, and he defended Kobe Bryant one-on-one, causing Kobe to have more opportunities to shoot, and finally Kobe, who had been holding back for a whole game, finally stopped holding back!

The front has been clamped and suffocated, and there are so few shots, how can I feel good until I feel good?

Now at the critical moment, if you don't dare to stand up and try how you feel, is it still a mamba?!

Kobe Bryant, who bravely stood up in the end, shot 5 of the Lakers' 8 shots in the last three minutes, while Yes on the opposite side, the Seattle SuperSonics shot 7 times, and Yes didn't make a single shot.

In the end, the Seattle SuperSonics defeated the Lakers 105-102 at home.

"I won."

“……”

Looking at the supersonic nine with facial paralysis in front of him, Kobe Bryant was silent for a while, and finally couldn't help but shout.

"Yes, you did it on purpose!"

"What is deliberate, I don't understand, you lost."

Nima's, what on purpose, deliberately confusing my feel in front, in fact, you can already see that I am very iron tonight!

"Hmph, you won this time, next time, I will definitely win my beloved helicopter back!"

Kobe Bryant left Seattle depressed with his team.

It was just that the plane had just returned to Los Angeles when he saw a piece of news in the newspaper that made him incredible.

"O'Neal and Yes bet that O'Neal wins Kobe's helicopter!"

O'Neill made a bet with Yes that he would dare to run in the city, and O'Neill would run, and Yes would not dare.

O'Neill won.

Then the excited O'Neill lit a fire and set the helicopter on fire with his own hands.

In the end, his beloved helicopter was blown up by that dead fat man......

After reading the newspaper, Kobe Bryant was very empty for a while.

I was depressed and wanted to cry......

"You shameless dead fat man, I'm not done with you!"

The shouts shook the sky.

The sky over Los Angeles seems to be back to the bustle of four years ago......

That O, that K, that lively OK......
