"This season, the schedule ahead of the SuperSonics is really unfriendly!"

After losing to the Jazz, a strong opponent in the same district, on December 2, the SuperSonics will return to their home court to face the Indiana Pacers, a powerhouse in the East.

The SuperSonics' previous record was 11-6, and with this back-to-back with the Pacers, the SuperSonics will play 18 games in a month.

Among the NBA teams in the same period, the SuperSonics were the most played.

Compared to the Washington Wizards in the same period, the SuperSonics played four more games in a month!

Even if the superSonics are now a group of young people, it is a bit unbearable to face such a schedule.

It's back-to-back at every turn, and it's back-to-back with away and home rounds.

Such back-to-backs are comparable to back-to-back games in two away games.

Moreover, the Pacers, the supersonic back-to-back opponents this time, are a very difficult team to play.

At the start of the game, the starting lineup of the Pacers was center Jermaine O'Neal, power forward Jeff Foster, small forward Al Harrington, scoring guard Stephen Jackson, and playmaking guard Jamal Tinsley.

The Pacers are now a well-known team in the league for their height and toughness.

The Pacers are very average, with no strong points other than O'Neal Jr., but there are no weaknesses either.

In addition to a very average starting lineup, the Pacers also have Danny Granger, a backup small forward who has been doing well this season, sitting on the bench.

The opponent against Yes in this match is Stephen Jackson.

A player that Nelson Sr. liked very much.

'I always felt that if he could be the third leader of our team, he would be a huge asset.

Nelson Sr. has had some players he wanted since he came to the SuperSonics.

Stephen Jackson is one of them.

Nelson Sr.'s desire to trade for Stephen Jackson is not hidden, and both Yees and the team's general manager, Presti, know it.

Presti also tried to get Stephen Jackson, but Larry Bird's offer was too high.

Larry Bird wants David Lee Gallondo, so there's no need to talk about it.

The main reason why Nelson Sr. values Stephen Jackson is because he has a tenacious fighting spirit that young supersonic players do not have, and he is a very good professional role model.

Young people should learn how Stephen Jackson approached the game.

As for the thorn attribute of Stephen Jackson, other coaches can't control it, and Nelson Sr. is still very confident.

Nelson Sr. wanted to get Stephen Jackson, but couldn't, and Stephen Jackson wasn't Yees' teammate, but an opponent.

As a teammate, Stephen Jackson may be good, but as an opponent, Stephen Jackson is difficult.

Also defensive, Stephen Jackson and Bowen have completely different styles.

Bowen is a sinister and dirty slut, while Stephen Jackson is a combatant!

“Yes……”

Stephen Jackson is looking forward to this game against the SuperSonics.

If nothing else, he watched the Yes vs. Bowen showdown.

In the current NBA, Bowen is the self-proclaimed 'Elbow Forest League leader', and Stephen Jackson is not convinced.

Many people are not convinced!

When he was with the Spurs, Bowen taught him to defend, but he still didn't accept it.

After that big fight between Yes and Bowen.

Now in the NBA's 'Elbow Forest World', Yes has replaced Bowen as the new 'Elbow Forest League Leader'.

Against this new 'Elbow Forest League Leader', Stephen Jackson is still looking forward to it.

"Stephen's fighting spirit is high today!"

Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle was very happy with Stephen Jackson's form today.

Stephen Jackson is a very emotional person, his emotions are uncontrollable, although he is always full of fighting spirit on the court, but the level of fighting spirit is uncontrollable.

Having a player like that at his disposal is a challenge for the manager.

Fortunately, when he was in the Pistons, he also took the Pistons Five Tigers and had experience.

Of course, if he could, he would prefer to bring a player like Yes or Milicic.

At the beginning of the Pistons, Milicic was able to become the leader of the list also has his credit.

It's just that after the Pistons drafted Milicic, his position with the Pistons was replaced by Larry Brown.

Stephen Jackson's defense is tough and decisive, and Stephen Jackson's physicality is not comparable to Bowen's.

Yes could feel Stephen Jackson's fighting spirit right now.

This guy wants to duel him in this game!

Duel with Stephen Jackson, Yes doesn't hate it.

If the SuperSonics want to beat the Pacers in this game, he will need to knock out Stephen Jackson directly.

With the deep strength of the Pacers, he is the only one who has an advantage in supersound.

Only if he crushes Stephen Jackson can he create more opportunities for the rest of the SuperSonics.

In the dumping system, the greater the threat of his attack, the easier it will be for Milicic and Rondo to take over.

It was Jeff Foster who helped Jackson defend Yees in this game, and O'Neal Jr. was keeping an all-out hand on Milicic.

'Rick Carlisle is very familiar with Milicic's characteristics!'

Yes faced Stephen Jackson's defense several times and tried to jump up and throw the pot to Milicic, but O'Neal Jr. stuck on the right route.

"Awesome, it's been a long time since I've seen a player who can play so easily under Stephen Jackson's defense!"

This is the player who caused a storm in the NBA!

However, the shortcomings of other players of the supersonic speed are indeed too great.

Milicic is too tender, and Milicic in the fourth year has a lot of playing habits similar to rookies.

David Lee and Quentin Richardson couldn't find a point of contact with Yes and needed either Rondo or Milicic to connect with them.

As long as Milicic can't catch Yes's pass, and then put him to shoot and pinch his pass according to Rondo's characteristics, Supersonic is not a concern.

"The dumping system has been broken?"

Old Nelson was a little surprised.

It's not the first time that Yes's dumping system has been broken, in the original game against the Magic, the dumping system was forcibly broken once by Howard with his super individual defensive ability.

But this time, it was the first time that it was broken tactically!

"It's up to Yes now......"

Tactically, the dumping system was controlled by the Pacers, and the way to break the game was to defeat Stephen Jackson and give the other superSonics players more space.

However, Stephen Jackson is not so easy to break down.

It's so tenacious!

"Even if Yes defeats Stephen Jackson, I won't change my defensive strategy!"

The Pacers' defensive strategy is obvious, and Yes can feel it without Nelson Sr. reminding him.

Single-point blasting Stephen Jackson, who can't do it at the moment.

After Milicic was restrained, Yes jumped and either threw the pot at Rondo or forced a shot.

Both of these methods are inefficient.
