Chapter 1205: Five-Eight? You deserve it too!
On January 7, 2014, in Salt Lake City, the Seattle SuperSonics snapped their 36th straight win of the season.
160 to 92!
After a 42-point night for David Lee in a home game against the Boston Celtics, the Seattle SuperSonics restarted their Five-Eight journey in one go.
Although the strength of the Jazz team is very average compared to the Seattle SuperSonics, this team is called the Jazz, and it is also the Jazz who are playing at home in Salt Lake City, and in this game, the old coach Jerry Sloan came to the scene in person.
Because this game is the retirement ceremony of Jerry Sloan's jersey, the Utah Jazz specially chose this game against the Seattle SuperSonics to hold this grand ceremony for Jerry Sloan, in order to hope that in the presence of the whole world, their old coach can gloriously raise his special jersey.
In the current NBA, there is no team that has the current flow of the Seattle SuperSonics.
Therefore, at halftime of the home game against the SuperSonics, the Utah Jazz held a jersey retirement ceremony for the decorated coach Jerry Sloan, and at the same time, the Jazz raised a flag with the word "1117" for Sloan, marking Sloan's 1117 victories in 20 years at the helm of the Jazz.
And the Seattle SuperSonics, who played away from home in this game, stayed on the scene from the old Nelson onwards to applaud Jerry Sloan's grand ceremony, which was quite face-giving.
Nelson Sr. is the highest-winning head coach in NBA history, with more than 1,500 regular season wins in his career, while Jerry Sloan is fourth in the NBA.
It's a great achievement, after all, it's a place in Salt Lake City, not in Boston, not in Los Angeles, not in Seattle.
So for Jerry Sloan, Seattle is still very respectful.
And the Seattle SuperSonics' respect for Jerry Sloan in this game is not just talking, and the Seattle SuperSonics also have their own practical actions to pay tribute to Jerry's strength.
Against the Jazz, the Seattle SuperSonics won by 20 points in the first quarter, 11 points in the second quarter, and 17 points in the second half, for a total of 58 points in this game to honor Jerry Sloan. (In history, Jerry Sloan has won 1,223 games in 23 years, 23, 12, 23, ahem, everyone counts.) )
"It's really like 'not fifteen is second', there are always 'eight meanings' in the dark, and five or eight is really everywhere in this world, this can all work?!"
The Seattle SuperSonics' game against the Jazz played this 58 as a tribute to Sloan really stunned everyone.
Even Jerry Sloan himself was in a complicated mood in the stands, constantly smiling wryly and shaking his head.
Seriously, he's been in the NBA for so many years, and he's really never seen such a magical number.
Five-eight, this number was played out by the Seattle SuperSonics.
Even he didn't think about it himself, and the most important bunch of numbers in his career were also five or eight.
Of course, at the end of the game, Jerry Sloan still expressed his gratitude to the players of the two teams on the scene.
Thanks to the Jazz players for their efforts in this game, although the difference in strength is too great, Gordon Hayward really wants to send Sloan an excellent jersey retirement ceremony gift through his own efforts.
Thank you also to the Seattle SuperSonics for this special tribute to this game.
"Mr. Sloane, you retired in too much of a hurry and didn't have the opportunity to show respect to you, and now, I hope you can accept this respect."
Looking at the two Supersonic No. 9 and No. 14 jerseys with the names of everyone from the coach, management and players to the supersonic in his hand, Jerry Sloan looked at Yes with gratitude written in his eyes after being stunned for a moment.
"Thank you, Yes."
Jerry Sloan must have been in a very uncomfortable mood when he left the Jazz.
But now, he's definitely in a good mood.
Not only was he so courteously treated by the best team in history, but Delon also came back last summer to apologize to him after years of disappointment from the Jazz.
And that's why he didn't hold a jersey retirement ceremony until so many years after his retirement.
He had been holding his breath in his heart, and after that breath disappeared because of Delon's apology, he could say goodbye to his NBA and basketball career once and for all.
After the Jazz picked up their 36th win of the season, the Seattle SuperSonics continued their road trip on January 9 against the Denver Nuggets on the road.
Because of Delon's apology, Jerry Sloan's sulk finally dissipated.
But Bradley's sulking breath at Leonard didn't go away!
Before he had a good game of abusing Leonard on the court, it was hard for Bradley to let go of it.
As far as Bradley's status in the Nuggets is concerned, it is easy for him to look better than Leonard, but it is too difficult to abuse Leonard......
In the game between the SuperSonics and the Lakers, Kobe Bryant was so strong, he could only defeat Leonard, not torture him, let alone Bradley?
Bradley is all-round in offense and defense, can do anything, known as the most Yes 'Little Yes', and now he is bent on recovering the 'touches' and 'efforts' he lost in Leonard, Ye Si stopped before, couldn't stop it, and finally had to go with these two boys.
Seriously, although Yes doesn't like Bradley and Leonard to stiffen their relationship, deep down, he still really wants Bradley and Leonard to have some such bonds.
After all, Bradley has been a bit self-defeating since he left Seattle for the Nuggets.
Although the Nuggets are better than Cleveland, however, the good ones are very limited.
In such a place, he really felt that his life was unusually dark and his career was bleak.
Therefore, I have been depressed all these years, and I have been very self-defeating.
I don't know what my life pursuit is.
At the very least, he doesn't know what he's supposed to do in the next nine years until his nine-year contract with the Nuggets ends.
And now, with Leonard's goal, he can also realign his goals and pursuits.
He doesn't want to treat the Nuggets the way James did, so he needs to stay in the Nuggets for 4+5 nine years, which is a long period of boredom.
Bradley needed someone to 'company' during this time.
Thinking of this, Ye Si was a little enlightened.
Perhaps, Bradley doesn't have so much resentment towards Leonard, he just artificially fills himself with resentment towards Leonard, and lets this resentment be with Leonard.
I'm afraid Leonard himself knows this.
So he never explained anything, no matter how much Bradley misunderstood and shouted, he was silent.
"What a kind and intelligent child."
And the bond between these two children really touched Ye Si.
After thinking about all this, Yes completely put aside the matter of Leonard and Bradley, and let the two 'love and kill each other' during this time.
159 to 101!
After the Seattle SuperSonics gifted the Nuggets a 58 in Denver, the team's winning streak this season has increased to 37.
After the game against the Nuggets, the Seattle SuperSonics returned to their home court once again, beating the Bucks 143-85 at home.
In this game, the Bucks' tandem show big Antetokounmpo has completely run out of playing time, and there is no playing time in garbage time.
Compared with Antetokounmpo Jr., who is now in the sky, Antetokounmpo Jr., who is now in the Bucks, is really miserable.
Therefore, Antetokounmpo Jr., who avenged his brother, played quite fiercely in this game, replacing Middleton in the starting position of Antetokounmpo Jr., and this game was wildly targeted by Antetokounmpo Jr. on the defensive end.
He finished with eight points and eight rebounds on 3-of-14 shooting, which was a poor stat compared to his other games, but it was better than most of Antetokounmpo's games.
Therefore, Antetokounmpo Jr.'s behavior of looking like revenge for his brother may be telling the Bucks that Middleton may be more worthy of focusing on training, and in the face of the defense of such a strong defensive player, he can almost have a double-double, which is very good and promising.
Maybe after this game, Big Antetokounmpo's situation with the Bucks will be even more miserable.
Of course, little Antetokounmpo naturally didn't know about this, how could he think so much about avenging his brother?
After playing the Bucks at home, the Seattle SuperSonics returned to Seattle for a few days before embarking on a back-to-back road trip.
On January 14th, the Seattle SuperSonics challenged the Grizzlies away, and this game received a lot of attention, because the first meeting between the two teams was very exciting, and the Grizzlies even once played inseparably between the starters and the supersonic starters in the first three quarters, just because the bench lineup was too powerful by the supersonic bench lineup, and the Grizzlies veterans were physically exhausted in the fourth quarter and were forced by the Seattle SuperSonics to play five or eight.
In this game with the SuperSonics, the Grizzlies are more prepared, and even in order to match this game, veterans such as Maddie and Carter Gasol Battier of the Grizzlies did not play in the last game and the Hawks, from January 10 to the end of the Suns, to now, the Grizzlies have rested for four days.
Obviously, these veterans want to gamble all their hearts in this game, not to mention winning, at least not to be five or eight!
The Grizzlies are going to be the fourth team in the NBA this season not to be 58, and the second team after the Lakers to actively reject 58!
The other two teams that are not five-eight, such as the Celtics, who are supersonics, and the Rockets, who feel that they don't even deserve five-eight.
It's just that the Grizzlies are ready to prepare, but after this game starts, the Grizzlies can still clearly feel how huge the gap between themselves and the Seattle SuperSonics is.
In fact, it is also because of the fear of the Grizzlies, so at the beginning of the first quarter of this game, the SuperSonics directly strengthened the Grizzlies' group of starting veterans.
Although it is not a full-court press, the intensity of the pressing is very high.
Because of the ample rest, the Grizzlies veterans still bit off with the SuperSonics starters in the first half, and the two teams only trailed by fifteen points at halftime because of the gap between the rotation players.
But in the second half, when the Grizzlies' veterans began to lose their stamina, the situation quickly took a turn for the worse.
After the start of the second half of the SuperSonics, they did not press all over the court at the beginning, but played half a half to consume the physical strength of the Grizzlies veterans before directly pressing the whole court in the second half of the third quarter.
And after that, the Grizzlies collapsed straight away.
148 to 90!
When the game ended, the Grizzlies, who had been preparing for this game for a long time, still failed to become the second team to voluntarily reject the five-eight.
This score, looking at Carter Maddy and Battier and other Grizzlies veterans is quite tiring.
They have worked hard, but the final result is still so regrettable.
"Yes, if we were five years younger, we could definitely beat you guys!"
After the game, Carter Maddy, Gasol, Batier and others were a little unwilling, no, it should be very unwilling.
In the face of this oath of theirs, Yes is also thinking, if they can be five years younger with their current strength, can they really beat the current supersonics?
Ye Si shook his head with a smile after thinking about it for a moment.
"There is no way to reverse time."
Looking at the smile on Ye Si's face, Maddie, Carter and the others also sighed helplessly.
Yes, time, there is no way to reverse, only to catch up......
"And even if you're five years younger, you can't win the hypersound."
Just when the grizzly veterans lamented time, Yes's words once again pulled them back from their imagination and emotion.
"This kid!"
Looking at Ye Si's back, the grizzly veterans shook their heads with a wry smile after looking at each other.
This kid, like Kobe, is simply a mobile B king, pretending to be B like the wind, and always being by his side.
It's just that Kobe Bryant guy always pretends to be a failure.
And Yes......
The B's he pretended to be really speechless.
After defeating the Grizzly Bears in the league who seem to be the most likely to finish the supersonic demon king, the demon flame on the supersonic demon king can no longer be described as monstrous, it is simply a demon flame that envelops the entire earth.
Under such encirclement and suppression in the whole league, 39 consecutive victories, and every game, I really want to beat the opponent with whatever score you want.
Such strength is simply so powerful that it cannot be increased.
In the past, Jordan would stand up and take the Dream Team to suppress the Supersonic after his supersonic streak.
Many people also followed Jordan to suppress the supersonic speed after Jordan took out the Dream Team.
But now, I don't know if Jordan is too busy after serving as the head coach of the Hornets, or if I feel from the bottom of my heart that even the dream team can't suppress the current supersound, so the supersonic speed is so strong now, but Jordan didn't stand up again.
For a time, the entire basketball world was shrouded in the current arrogance of supersound.
Looking at the arrogance of supersonic speed now, Wade also sighed.
The things that SuperSonics are doing now are what the Heat wanted to do.
It's just that the Heat of 0910 only did less than 20 games, and they were completely scared by the alliance, and in the end, they were directly instigated.
And now, Yes and the supersonic are really ignoring the entire alliance!
I did everything that the Heat wanted to do but didn't dare to do.
Although the league is still high morale in the fight against Yes and the hypersonics.
But such morale is already not the defeat of the hypersound.
Instead, it became......
"We must let the Supersonic award the 58 Medal to us this season, and we must not be ashamed like the Rockets!"
Listening to the whispers of his teammates around him, Wade was also helpless.
Because now, the morale of the teammates is like a rainbow, not to defeat the supersonic, but to be recognized by the supersonic, to be supersonic five or eight!
Nima's, and even his teammates, have recognized that the Seattle SuperSonics are invincible, that is, the fact that no team can beat the SuperSonics.
Watch the Seattle SuperSonics and Rockets race on TV.
The game is coming to an end.
The SuperSonics are now more than 70 points ahead, and this is another game that is destined to be impossible to do with five or eight.
Rockets, there is still no way to take the 58 medal from the hands of the supersonic.
Rockets, in the eyes of supersonic and Yes, are still not worthy of a five-eight medal.
164 to 90!
The Seattle SuperSonics defeated the Rockets by a huge margin of 74 points on the road.
74 points, this is still a lot less than 87 points.
Because Howard and Chris Bosh had a good hand in this game, Howard even shot a three-pointer in this game.
"Yes, why!"
It is precisely because the data of this game is not bad that Howard can be considered to have the courage to stand in front of Yes and ask Yes, why not give him five or eight and the rocket.
"Why, you don't deserve it!"
It's just that before Ye Si could speak, James Harden on the side said to Howard disdainfully.
Yes didn't stop James Harden's taunts about Howard and the Rockets, and it looked like a tacit acquiescence.
"And, I'm also obsessive-compulsive."
Ye Si added one last sentence.
o(?? Д??) What's the matter!
Obsessive-compulsive disorder?
Howard's eyes widened and he looked at Yes incredulously.
"Hahahaha, Howard's expression is so funny now, with his IQ, I'm afraid he can't figure out how many points the Seattle SuperSonics are short of averaging five or eight points per game this season before this game!"
Listening to Barkley's unbridled laughter next to him, Kenny Smith, a former Rockets player, couldn't laugh.
Barkley has a reason to hate rockets.
He can't.
However, thinking that the reason why the Seattle SuperSonics beat the Rockets 74 in this game is to average five or eight per game, Kenny Smith also shook his head with a wry smile.
It's just clear that for some people who can speak Chinese, they don't think it's the only answer.
"It's just an obsessive-compulsive disorder that averages five or eight per game?"
"It's not about letting the rocket 'die' or 'eat shi'"
After all, the number 74 is the same as 89, which makes people quite reverie......
The Chinese reporters on the sidelines were very excited, since the incident of Yao Ming and Roy came out, the Rockets in China, that reputation, but it really stinks......
"Sister Han, I'm looking forward to the third game of the supersonic and the rocket now!"
"yes, I don't know what interesting numbers the next rocket will be hit by supersound!"
