Chapter 493: Lore, Ten Times, Continuous!
"A great defensive battle!"
"Whether it's Seattle SuperSonics fans or Spurs fans, they'll be happy with the first half of this game for both teams!"
The first half of the game between the Seattle SuperSonics and Spurs ended, and the final halftime score of the two teams was 45-45, tied at 45!
For Seattle SuperSonics fans, such a score is an absolute surprise.
Before the start of this game, many Seattle SuperSonics fans were expecting this game to be played anxiously, but the difference in strength between the two teams was really obvious.
With such an obvious gap, the two teams can actually draw, which is of course a huge surprise for supersonic fans!
At the end of the first quarter between the two teams, they really felt like the game was over.
Bowen's defense of Yes in the first quarter was really desperate!
Now that they can get such a result at half-time, what are they not happy about?
Even if the third quarter comes up and the team is pulled away by the Spurs again, it will be in the third quarter.
Now, they still have hope and hope for this game!
Now, they can still give their best cheers to the teams and players on the pitch!
The SuperSonics were happy with the half-time result, as were the Spurs.
The draw between the two teams in the first half was a surprise.
But this is mainly not because the superSonics played well, but because the Spurs' offense in this game is really indescribable.
But if the Spurs' offense can be a little better, this game SuperSonics don't have any chances!
The Spurs have very few offensive routines right now, and coupled with Yes's restraint on Parker and Ginobili, the Spurs' offense is very reliant on Duncan and Jackson.
Now Nelson Sr. has Millsap in the starting line, coupled with Milicic's continued improvement on the defensive end and Durant's height armband limiting Jackson.
In the first half, the Spurs played quite awkwardly on the offensive end.
Even for the Spurs, the first half was the worst half of the season for the Spurs on the offensive end.
But even so, the Spurs are still not behind, but the team that has always been in control of the initiative.
The current rhythm is still in the hands of the Spurs!
As long as the Spurs are still the team that controls the tempo in the second half, then there is nothing to be afraid of for the Spurs.
The Spurs' offense in the second half could not have been worse than in the first.
And the Spurs' excellent defense in the first half can be continued in the second half.
As long as Bowen can defend Yes one-on-one, then the Spurs can use all the strength of other players to smash other supersonic players!
In the first half of this game, of the 45 points scored by the Seattle SuperSonics, 11 points were scored by rotation players, 12 points were scored by Yes, and of the remaining 22 points, Durant alone accounted for 18 points, and the others combined for only 4 points!
Rondo has 0,0 points in 5 so far in this game.
Millsap is 1-of-4 from the field so far in this game, with 2 points.
Milicic has 1-of-4 shooting so far, with 2 points.
Even Durant, who scored the most points in the first half, scored 18 points in exchange for 16 chances!
Equally quite iron.
In the NBA, any player who scores 18 points in a game and takes 16 shots is criticized.
One shot can only be exchanged for 1.125 points, which is already quite miserable.
Even in the 01-02 season, Iverson, the most controversial scoring champion who won the scoring title with a 39.8% shooting rate, Iverson only averaged 27.8 shots per game that season, and used 27.8 shots in exchange for 31.4 points, and the score that can be exchanged for one shot is 1.129, which is better than Durant's game!
What's more, the defensive pressure Iverson faced is comparable to Durant in this game?
It can be said that the Spurs' defense of Durant in this game is already very good.
As long as the Spurs can resolutely pull back the defensive power from Yes, the other superSonics players will only be worse in the second half!
Although the Spurs trust Bowen from top to bottom, Popovich also accepts that in the first half, he and the Spurs are still a little worried that Bowen can't handle Yes alone, so the defensive strength is still a little bit on Yes.
In the second half, he and Spurs didn't have to do that at all.
In the second half, while Bowen wants Yes to know what despair is, the Spurs players also want to let other SuperSonics players know what despair is!
"Guys, I'm happy with your performance in the first half, I need you to be more determined on both ends of the floor in the second half, you have to remember, we've got Bruce now, we're not the team that's fourth in the West, we're not the team that was beaten four times in the playoffs last season, we're the best Spurs now, I need to see you guys put up the best Spurs confidence in the second half!"
In the away dressing room, Popovich is now agitated and his words can be described as passionate.
Even if the Spurs are mostly veterans, there is still some excitement in this way.
Of course, compared to Popovich's words, the thing that stimulates the Spurs players the most right now is, of course, Bowen who is sitting next to them.
Bruce's performance in the first half was the best stimulus for the team!
Bruce has defended Yes to such an extent that if they can't win against those players against the SuperSonics, they will be really sorry for Bruce's effort in this game.
Popovich was speaking passionately, while the Spurs players were looking at Bowen with great convincing and respectful eyes.
In this world, I am afraid that only Bowen can face Yes with such a mentality.
Bowen's face is very calm and calm now, but in his heart, he is really excited at this time!
Last season, he was played so crazy by Yes, and now, he can finally have the strength to play Yes!
In this reciprocal battle between him and Yes, he can now control his own destiny!
As long as Yes still wants to continue to use him as a 'collaborator', then Yes will definitely not really break him.
As long as Yes doesn't break him down, and Yes cooperates with him to play the world's drama, he is the one who takes the initiative!
Last season, let me appear in front of you, and I can only watch you keep hitting.
Now, let me appear to you, and I can interfere with you!
I know your character, you will not give up on a collaborator like me, you will definitely let me continue to appear in front of you, you will definitely create the image of the perfect defense that I do not lose my position, and this time, I am not only perfect by you, myself, I already have some perfect strength!
Now you know what pain is, right?
Now you know what a dilemma is, right?
Now you know what it means to shoot yourself in the foot, right?
Now I know, it's too late!
Last season, I acted with you, and all the benefits were reaped by you.
But I had to bear the torment of my soul, betraying my teammates, betraying the team, betraying the manager.
Now, it's you who cooperate with me to act, and I'm going to reap the benefits!
Even if my defensive strength can't completely block you right now, you can still be forced to shoot three-pointers.
But my team is better than yours, even if in this play, we are evenly divided, in the end I can rely on the team to win, and you, nothing!
Thinking of this, Bowen is really excited!
Last season's playoffs were played with a variety of offenses, and this game he was forced to shoot only those difficult three-pointers.
It really gave him a huge amount of confidence!
That tremendous confidence that I can finally change my own destiny!
In the Spurs locker room, Spurs head coach Popovich did not set up a new tactic.
In the NBA, sometimes having an ace like Bowen can work better than not knowing how many sets of tactics there are.
In the absence of Bowen, no matter how good the tactics he laid out, did he defend Yes?
Did he beat the hypersonics?
But now, with Bowen, he doesn't have to arrange anything, he doesn't need any tactics, just let Bowen defend Yes, let the other Spurs players pinch other supersonic players, and he can easily control the game in his hands.
The Spurs didn't put in place a new game at halftime, and on the other side of the Seattle SuperSonics locker room, Seattle SuperSonics head coach Nelson Sr. was the same as Popovich.
When Yes can't attract enough defensive attention from the Spurs, then this game is a game of supersonic and Spurs!
In the NBA, the biggest difference between a supergiant and a superstar is whether or not you can draw all the opponent's defense to yourself.
Supergiants are generally not defended one-on-one.
Yes is undoubtedly supergiant, and even though Bowen's defense has been magical to such an extent, it still allowed Yes to blast 12 points in the second half of the second quarter.
If the Spurs don't have Bowen, in the face of Yes's strong attacking power, even if the Spurs' defense against Yes is still a one-on-one defense, they will invest a lot of defensive force in Yes.
When the Spurs put a lot of attention on Yes, Durant, Rondo, Milicic and Millsap have enough chances.
But now, although Bowen can't completely defend Yes, Bowen's effect is enough for Popovich to feel at ease to hand Over Yes to Bowen one-on-one.
Therefore, even if Yes is undoubtedly a supergiant, when facing Bowen, he can't show the great effect of supergiants creating opportunities for teammates.
The situation now is very difficult for hypersound.
Yes was blocked by Bowen one-on-one, and he couldn't play a supergiant effect.
On the other hand, Duncan had no way to block one-on-one, and Duncan had been playing a superstar effect in the first half to create opportunities for his teammates.
It's just that the morale of the SuperSonics in the first half was too good, and everyone's defensive attention was too concentrated.
In the second half, can these superSonics players still have such strong defensive attention?
If Yes's three-point shot in the final minute of the first half tied the score between the two sides, Nelson Sr. even felt that the superSonics in the second half might not even have the morale accumulated in the previous nine games.
Now the score of the two sides is tied, Yes has a chance to stage the tenth consecutive lore!
As long as there is this opportunity, the morale of these young players of the supersonic will always be at its peak!
These young players of the SuperSonics don't care how passive the actual situation of the two teams on the court is.
They will only look at the most realistic outcome right now.
As a result, the SuperSonics and Spurs are now on the same page.
Thinking of this, Old Nelson looked at the supersonic 9 with a calm face and looked down at the statistics.
This first half was one of the few difficult games he had seen in Yes.
Was Pisa Yes trapped by Bowen in the first half?
Of course!
Zero points in the first quarter.
He scored 12 points on 3-of-7 shooting in the second quarter.
The entire first half was defended by Bowen for just 12 points.
You know, even if Yes has fewer shots per game this season, he is still a player who can average 30 points per game!
Yes is now the league's third-highest scorer per game.
Second only to Durant's 34.5 points and Iverson's 31.5 points.
Yes is now averaging 30.2 points per game.
For Yes, even if he is playing at full strength, if he can't score 15 points in the half, it is not qualified.
What's more, yes, it's not that there is no shot, it does, but the hit rate is not so magical and amazing.
Yes's shooting percentage this season is a terrifying 63%, and in the first period of the season, Yes's shooting percentage even reached 80%!
In that case, Bowen could have scored 12 points on 3-of-7 shooting from the ground in the half, and could there be any better defense?
Of course not!
It stands to reason that Yes was blocked by Bowen in the first half, but in the first half, every time the SuperSonics needed to score, they always scored.
In the first quarter, Durant stepped up.
The second verse is Yes standing up directly.
The team that controls the situation and rhythm of the game is the Spurs.
But the superSonics always get the super points that can affect the trend of the game.
It's amazing.
This game between the SuperSonics and the Spurs gave Nelson Sr. the illusion that the previous SuperSonics and Cavaliers games were a remake.
In the game between the supersonic and the knights, the situation of the knights is also dominant, and the supersonic speed is also extremely passive.
But just like a pre-written script, every time the Cavaliers looked like they were going to get on the ground, Yes stepped up and scored.
It's as if something is controlling the outcome of this game.
Old Nelson certainly knew it was what he was thinking too much.
The game in the NBA is uncontrollable.
Even if a strong team plays a weak team, it is impossible to control it.
It's just that sometimes he really can't explain such an incredible phenomenon now.
The scene of these two games is like a tiger being put in a cage, and a sharp knife falling from the top of the cage cannot kill the tiger in the cage, and the tiger can dodge it accurately every time.
Seeing this scene, of course, he would wonder if the tiger had deliberately gotten into the cage to lure the hunter out.
"I'm really thinking a little too much, and I actually think that Yes deliberately got into the cage by himself."
Looking at the Yes who looked down at the technical statistics calmly, the old Nelson shook his head with a wry smile.
The main reason why he can have such a peculiar idea is that his expectations of Yes are too high and too high.
So high that he thinks Yes is the kind of player that O'Neal and Big Ben can't hold, and Bowen can't defend either.
Therefore, when he sees Yes in a predicament, he will subconsciously feel that this is fake, and this is with special effects.
In his heart, Yes is incomparably strong, and Yes cannot be trapped!
It can only be said that in the two seasons he has coached Yes, Yes has staged too many miracles in front of him!
Regardless, Nelson Sr. was still looking forward to Yes's performance in the second half, hoping that he wasn't really trapped by Bowen.
But when the second half began, Nelson Sr. was destined to be disappointed.
After the start of the third quarter, Yes's performance didn't improve much.
Although it was not as bad as the zero shots and zero points in the first quarter.
But there was no more 12-point performance on 3-of-7 shooting in the second half of the second quarter.
After a half-court adjustment, Bowen's defense against Yes looked like it was getting tougher.
In the entire third quarter, Bowen only gave Yes five shots!
You know, in the second half of the second quarter, Yes made a total of 7 shots, and now there are only 5 shots in the third quarter.
He made 2 of 5 shots and scored 7 points.
All five of them were three-pointers and hit two, which is good for most players in the NBA.
But this man is Yes!
No matter how unwilling Nelson Sr. was to accept the fact that Yes had been blocked by Bowen, he could only accept it.
Because here the facts are!
So when the third quarter of the game ended, even if the score of the two teams was still tied after the third quarter, the cheers of the supersonic fans at the scene were not as crazy as at the end of the half.
"It turns out that Yes in the second half of the second quarter does not have the strength to score 20 points in a single quarter in front of Bowen!"
Barkley on the sidelines thought it was incredible.
And Kenny Smith next to him also had this expression.
Yes's efficiency so far in this game is actually not low, 5-of-12 three-pointers, 42% shooting, this is a three-point shot, which is an excellent performance for anyone in the league.
However, in this game, Yes didn't shoot a single three-pointer!
It's not the first time Yes has shot just three points in a game.
In the previous game with the Wizards, Yes also only shot three points, but that was deliberate.
And tonight's game was not intentional by Yes, but forced by Bowen!
"Bowen really forced Yes to shoot three points from the outside in this game?!"
You know, yes is one of the few offensive kaleidoscope players in the NBA!
The look on Kobe's face now is really shocked.
Yes's offensive kaleidoscope attributes are definitely no worse than him, Anthony and Pierce.
Even Yes's efficiency is the best among them.
Kobe Bryant watched a lot of Yes games.
This is the first time he has seen Yes passively defended by others to only throw three points in the game!
"It's really a magical game!"
"The SuperSonics and the Spurs are really two amazing teams!"
"Bowen's defense of Yes is already so good, the Spurs can't even pull the score apart?"
"Do the two teams have a grudge against the basket in this game?"
In Houston, Artest watched the game on TV with a magical look on his face.
"The Spurs and the SuperSonics are not enmity with the basket, but the defense of these two teams is really good, Bowen choked the strongest point of the supersonic offense, Yes choked the Spurs' two offensive initiators, Parker and Ginobili, both teams can't play the offense they want in this game, this game is destined to be a very anxious game, but, relatively speaking, the Spurs can't accept such anxiety."
"Not being able to turn the advantage into a win, that's the biggest problem for the Spurs in this game, Yes was very uncomfortable defending by Bowen in this game, so he was quite uncomfortable defending Parker and Ginobili in this game."
"It's hard to say for both teams in this game!"
After Rocket head coach Adelman finished speaking, all the Rockets players next to him frowned and began to think.
Adelman's statement is simple, the Spurs' offense blinded Bowen's defense.
And the reason why the Spurs' offense is so blind is mainly because of Yes!
"With both teams playing in the fourth quarter, would it be better if Ginobili and Parker were on the floor at the same time?"
"It's still not good, if these two are on the floor at the same time, Yes will become a defensive ball carrier, Parker and Ginobili are a little lacking in impact, and the two give Yes a lot of opportunities to change defenders!"
At the end of the half, Popovich really didn't think that the second half of this game would be so intense.
At the end of the first half, the expression on Popovich's face was confident and excited, and a smile hung on his face all the time.
But as the game progressed, the look on Popovich's face began to become more and more nervous.
Until the final moment of the game, when there were 14 seconds left in the game, Bowen stared at the pressure to receive Duncan's pass, and after Yes couldn't defend and hit a three-pointer to tie the score, Popovich watched the score change on the big screen on the scene, and his eyes were straight.
Not only Popovich, but even Bowen, who hit the equalizer, first waved his arms excitedly after the hit, and then the expression on his face became dumbfounded.
A chance to kill?
Such a game can actually give Yes a chance to kill?!
Looking at the scores on TV, Jordan felt like he was in a dream!
90 to 90!
How did these two teams play such a scoreline in this game?
It's really incredible, the Spurs really beat the supersonic whole game because of Bowen's restrictions on Yes!
But why is the score now flat?
And the last chance to kill is still in the hands of the supersonics?!
Jordan really doesn't understand!
Not to mention Jordan, even the two already crazy commentaries on TV can't be understood!
But......
Jordan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Yes, this time, if you want to grasp the opportunity to kill 100% like before, it will be impossible.
This time, Yes is facing Bowen!
After watching the TV timeout, the two teams returned to the court, Yes was holding the ball at the top of the arc, and Bowen had locked Yes deadly!
Yes was good on the ball, but Bowen was even better defensively!
Yes doesn't have any chance to break through!
Seeing that Yes finally had 2 seconds left in the game, he really couldn't get rid of Bowen, and forced his hand outside the three-point line against Bowen's perfect defense.
The moment Jordan made a move, he raised his hands high in excitement!
Cigars in the right hand and red wine in the left!
"It's impossible to hit this ball again!"
Because even if it is him, the chance of hitting such a shot may only be 1%!
A crunch of brushing.
The silence of the TV exploded!
Bang!
A luxury villa in Chicago is strewn on the floor with an expensive cigar and a pool of noble red wine.
Next to the cigar and red wine stood a stunned man.
Lore......
Ten ......
Coiled!
