"I didn't expect the Houston Rockets to qualify in the end, alas......"

"After watching the first four games, I thought that the Lakers could play the dark horse all the way to the end, but I didn't expect to be beaten by the Rockets in two cities."

"This can't be blamed on the Lakers, the Rockets' wing strength, bench strength, and the thickness of the team are too strong, I have been in the NBA for so many years, I have witnessed the magic bird battle of the year, witnessed the rise of Jordan later, and also witnessed the unbeatable of OK and the ugliness of the Pistons Spurs, I never thought that there could be such a team in this world, what kind of player you want, what kind of player you can have."

"yes, the Rockets are really a team that you can have with the kind of players you want, Yao Ming, Gerard Wallace, Artest, Maddie, Roy, Ariza, Scola, Landry, Aaron Brooks, Mutombo, Hayes, Mike James, Novak...... It's a team that's perfect for a manager, and it's a team where any manager can find the players he wants and play the system he wants. ”

"But for the opponent, it's a nightmare!"

"Maybe that's it, it's not that I'm a maverick, judging from the first four games between the Lakers and the Rockets, I've always felt that this year's Lakers can compete for the championship at any time in previous years, even if this year's Lakers are put in front of the Bulls of the year, I am confident that the Lakers can beat the Bulls of the year, the Lakers' triangle offense, the Lakers' 'O'Neal Jr. Randolph, the Lakers' Old tumor 'Kidd, as well as the little shark Bynum and Turkey's Pipontekeglou, the Lakers not only have a strong starting lineup, but Kobe Bryant has indeed transformed this season, whether it is facing Bowen, the strongest defensive player in history in the first round or the deliberate wolf pack tactics facing the Rockets in this round, his performance is both strong and restrained, it can be said that it is perfect, such Kobe, even if he meets Jordan one-on-one, he will lose, but he will never lose too much, but in the face of the Rocket, Kobe Bryant ...... Really tried my best......"

"Yes, do your best, Kobe Bryant can play five games under such crazy targeting by the Rockets, I'm afraid Jordan will only be six games at most."

"Adelman's transformation of the Rockets this season is too unAdelman, based on defense, and in the playoffs, he used the depth of his team's roster and the depth of the wing forward to target the opponent's outside core players, Paul, Kobe Bryant died too miserably, Paul insisted on three games, Kobe Bryant insisted on five games, how many games do you guess Yes can last?"

"Alas......"

For a time, the entire Seattle supersonic training hall sighed.

Ever since the Seattle SuperSonics reached the Western Conference Finals, there have been piles of media reporters from all over the United States and the world in and around the SuperSonics' training halls.

After Yes swept the Suns 4-0, the Seattle SuperSonics became the focus of the entire world sports scene.

However, most of these reporters from all over the United States and the world, except for those from China, are very sorry that the Rockets eliminated the Lakers.

It's already time for the West, they don't pretend anymore, what they support is the Seattle SuperSonics, they are now enjoying everything that Yes keeps winning, how could they want it all to disappear like this?

They want to enjoy the last!

But, seriously, in the face of the mountain of rockets, it is really difficult for them to have any confidence in the Seattle superSonics and themselves.

Just think back to the group of strongmen of the Rockets, and then look at the group of crooked melons and cracked dates at the Seattle Supersonic training ground, well, now you can't say crooked melons and cracked dates to this group of teammates of Yes, starting with Durant, most of them have performed very well in this year's playoffs, which can be regarded as breaking the limit of their potential.

But......

Milicic, Millsap, Durant, Rondo, David Lee, Barria, Quentin Richardson, PJ Tucker, Nick Collisson, Kwame Brown, Wilkins, Sessions, and Marik Cross are all old and unplayable.

These players around Yes may no longer be crooked melons and cracked dates, may not be garbage, or may not be the undercover agents of the year, but what is the strength of these players?

They really don't have faith.

Because now they suddenly realize that they don't know anything about the former garbage teammates around Yes.

They should have known these people best.

These role players of the Seattle SuperSonics are some of the most well-known in the NBA, and each of them is as well-known as an average All-Star in the NBA.

To say an interesting thing, the fourteenth person of the Seattle SuperSonics, Marik Cross, who is difficult to play, can receive millions of dollars in total endorsement advertisements in China.

"We used to focus too much on scolding them...... No, it's too much to spur them, and I've always been prejudiced against their true strength. ”

If it weren't for the strong push of their limits in this series, they would have even looked at these people with colored glasses.

After Durant pushed his limits, they have been reflecting.

Since 'philistines' like Durant can push the limits, what about the others?

Especially last season's Durant, what about Rondo?

They don't know the true strength of Rondo now.

But as long as you flip through the data of Rondo in this season's playoffs, they are still very staggering.

averaged 9.5 points, 11.5 assists, 9.7 rebounds and 2.5 steals per game, although the shooting rate was only 41%, and the three-point shooting rate was only 25%, but this is a quasi-triple-double per game in the playoffs!

And it's really possible to complete an average triple-double in this year's playoffs, as long as Rondo scores a few more points and a few more rebounds, and that's it!

In the history of the NBA, there has been an average triple-double per game in the regular season.

But in the playoffs, as long as the player has played more than 10 games in a single season, there has never been a player who averages a triple-double per game, and if Rondo does it, then he is the first player in NBA history to average a triple-double in a single season in the playoffs!

This data ...... Not to mention that it can be compared to the big O, but if Yes and the SuperSonics are really lucky enough to win the championship with a 1% probability this season, then this average triple-double per game will add a very, very high status for Rondo in the history of the NBA, and it will definitely not be less than Durant.

Obviously, they don't know how much Rondo's specific strength is, but judging from Rondo's close to averaging triple-doubles per game in the playoffs, Rondo has obviously broken through his limits.

Who would have thought that before Rondo entered the NBA, he would have achieved so much in the NBA, and even in the NBA playoffs?

They don't know if Rondo's current strength is a real All-Star, but Rondo's data is definitely an All-Star statistic!

No, most All-Stars in league history can't play such statistics.

If Rondo also has All-Star quality now......

Yes, Milicic, Rondo and Durant......

It seems that supersound is not so weak either.

It's just that Yes, Milicic, Rondo and Durant can offset Yao Ming, Maddy, Rondo and Roy.

However, in the face of Adelman and Rocket, who are clearly on the verge of overwhelming people.

Can Millsap cancel out Gerald Wallace?

Although Gerard Wallace has not yet been selected as an All-Star, he definitely has the strength of an All-Star.

Can PJ Tucker cancel Ariza?

Can David Lee cancel off Scola?

Can Barria cancel out Artest?

There are also Quentin Richardson and Landry, Nick Collison and Hayes, Kwame Brown and Mutombo, Wilkins and Mac James, Sessions and Aaron Brooks, and many more.

In short, since the Rockets qualified, every time they compared, they were a little apprehensive and dull.

In the previous playoffs, before the two teams played, they would never make such a comparison, but the Rockets are really different, this team is now playing an almost perverted 12-man rotation every game, and the whole game is crazy to maintain high intensity.

Even physical powerhouses like Kobe Bryant and Paul were crumbled by five and three.

If a team doesn't have enough roster depth, it will be crushed against the Rockets, even if it is as strong as the Lakers.

After the East-West matchup came out, ESPN did evaluate the eliminated teams.

The Lakers' strength cap is 99!

Even the 71-11 strongest defending champion in history, the Suns, are only 97.

But what's the use of having a strength cap of 99? The stamina of the lineup is only 95 for the normal one.

And the Rocket's lineup ceiling is 99, and the lineup endurance is also 99!

As for the Seattle supersonics......

The upper limit of the strength of the squad is unknown, and the stamina of the squad is also unknown.

ESPN did not judge the other Seattle SuperSonics players this time.

Durant's rise in this series with the Suns has indeed made their faces a little swollen, and it will take a little bit of time for those swelling to subside.

Reporters inside and outside the supersonic training gym are full of mixed emotions about the Seattle SuperSonics and the Rockets' series, they are the uncrowned kings who know everything, but in the end, these uncrowned kings find that they still have so many unknowns, this feeling is really uncomfortable.

But for Nelson Sr., he's in a pretty good mood right now.

There's always a smile on his face.

Such a smile is very contagious for the reporters on the scene or the supersonic staff.

At the very least, it would make people feel that the Seattle SuperSonics have not yet had a problem with their mentality in the face of a powerful rocket.

Especially under the influence of a smile like Nelson Sr., these players of the Seattle SuperSonics seem to be in pretty good shape on the training court.

"I didn't expect this season's Western Finals to be a duel between Ye Si and Yao Ming!"

Compared with other journalists in the United States or around the world, Chinese journalists like Wang Han and Lin Rui are really happy troubles.

Let's not talk about what other Chinese reporters think, for Wang Han and Lin Rui, of course they hope that Ye Si will win, but if Yao Ming wins in the end, they can accept it, as long as Yao Ming or Ye Si can win the championship in the end.

Then there will be the first NBA regular season and finals MVP grand slam player in the history of Chinese basketball!

And it's the same season!

Regardless of who can complete the MVP of the regular season and finals in a single season, Ye Si and Yao Ming will be regarded as a 'auspicious rui' gift to 2008!

This achievement in the history of Chinese sports can really be described as a miracle and auspiciousness, especially this year is 2008, a critical moment for a century of revival.

As far as they know, CCTV behind them has been making relevant special reports after the match in the Western Finals came out.

There are not just five sets of special reports in this feature, but one set!

And the content of the special report is Ye Si and Yao Ming, who will become the protagonists of China's century-old sports history!

Just like the current hype in the American media, who will become the protagonist of the NBA this year is the same as Yao Ming and Ye Si.

This is a huge honor, of course Wang Han and Lin Rui hope that Ye Si will win it, but if it is really won by Yao Ming in the end, it doesn't mean that it can't be accepted......

Looking at Ye Si, who was practicing infinite singles in the center of the court, Wang Han frowned.

"Am I delusional? I always feel that Ye Si has gained weight these days? ”

"Sister Han, you're not delusional!"

Hearing Lin Rui beside him say this, Wang Han's beautiful face showed a look of surprise.

"Sister Han, do you think it will be happy fat?"

Happy fat?

How is this possible!

She has been by Yes's side for almost three years, and she knows very well what kind of person Yes is.

This is a person who can be called harsh on his control.

Such a person will not allow his body to change inexplicably.

Whether you gain weight or lose weight, it's definitely not because you eat too much or eat too little.

Yes, this is ......

The expression on Wang Han's face changed from surprise to confusion and then to frowning.

Wang Han is frowning now, and the old Nelson in the Seattle Supersonic training gym is frowning now.

With the showdown with the Rockets about to begin, he is now very troubled.

How to crack the Rockets' frenzied wolf pack tactics against Paul and Kobe?

This is definitely a rather difficult subject.

Now that the series hasn't started yet, Nelson Sr. and the world can be sure that the Rockets will use wolf pack tactics against Yes.

Because Adelman himself said it.

"Our wolf pack is for Yes, he has too much influence on both ends of the floor, we want to reduce his impact, and I'm glad that our tactics have worked well for Paul and Kobe, who are great players on both ends of the floor, just like Yes."

With the Rockets and the SuperSonics approaching the battle of the almost century, the skies over the entire NBA are filled with dark clouds.

And under such a cloudy situation, the 2008 NBA draft lottery was 'quietly' completed, and the Heat, who were the bottom of the league, got the 2008 champion pick.

When Wade smiled and drew the No. 1 pick, a big knife at the helm of Pat Riley also hung over the heads of the Bulls and the top pick Rose......
