Chapter 772: One Hundred Points? Maybe in the Next Game
The game between the Supersonics and the Lakers at home came to an end amid the applause and cheers of the Supersonics fans.
The final result was that the Seattle Supersonics, who were about to face a three-game schedule of hell, defeated their opponents in the first two consecutive hell schedules and actually won two games in a row.
The top eight position in the Eastern Conference was not only not in jeopardy, but was even stabilized again.
The 100-point scoring competition initiated by Kobe before the game ended with Yes and Kobe scoring 99 points respectively, and the game ended in a tie.
The game between the Lakers and the Supersonics is over, but the impact of this game, which was called the most exciting game in basketball history by many media from all over the world, has just begun.
As the head coach of the Lakers, Phil Jackson, who lost the game, could leave the court with his players after saying hello to the Supersonics players according to the usual situation in the NBA.
But in this game, even as the head coach of the losing side, Phil Jackson was blocked by reporters on the scene after the game and couldn't leave at all!
These reporters are basically TV reporters from various countries.
This game is really crazy. In general, the live broadcast of NBA games ends directly after the commentary is finished, and at most a summary is given.
But for this game, if a participant of the game is not found to summarize, these commentators and on-site reporters will be scolded by the audience in their respective countries!
Yes cannot be interviewed, this is exclusive to Chinese TV stations and TNT.
The head coach and players of the Seattle Supersonics have long been booked by various agencies.
The rest are naturally the players and coaches of the Lakers.
And Phil Jackson is definitely the most popular candidate for the Lakers besides Kobe.
After losing the game with the Supersonics, the team fell back from the first place in the West to the second place in the West, which made Phil Jackson quite regretful.
This game was originally a victory for the Lakers.
The strength of the Lakers is far above the Supersonics. If Kobe had not been willful in this game, the Lakers would have won 100%.
In this game, Kobe forced the team's victory or defeat to depend on the one-on-one score between him and Yes.
If it weren't for Kobe's willfulness, no one on the Lakers would have scored as many points as Yes in this game, and Yes would definitely not have scored so many points in this game, and the Lakers would not have lost in the end.
But!
When Phil Jackson saw Kobe desperately trying to force the last shot and tie his score with Yes, all the regrets and pity in his heart disappeared.
This was the craziest night of Kobe's career.
Perhaps this was also the last willful night of Kobe's career.
It might be a good thing for the Lakers' future to release all the madness and willfulness in Kobe's heart with a failure?
Phil Jackson wanted to leave with the players, but was blocked in the end and could only comfort himself like this.
"This is a great game. The players of the Seattle SuperSonics and the Lakers presented us with a grand and legendary game. This is a blessing for all basketball spectators and NBA fans."
"I am lucky to be able to coach such a game in my coaching career. I am honored that Kobe is my player and I am also honored that Yes is my opponent."
"Kobe in this game deserves the praise of the world, and Yes in this game deserves the worship of the world. They are both the best."
"If you insist on saying which one is the best,
I think I can't lie, you all know the answer, Kobe also said before For me, Kobe and the Lakers players, Yes is like the god of basketball. You always want to beat him, but he always makes you feel powerless. Yes is the kind of person who makes you feel and believe that there is a basketball god in this world. "
"Michael?"
"I won't tell you whether Michael is better or worse than Kobe Yes. I can only tell you that they are both the greatest players in my heart."
After the game between the Seattle Supersonics and the Lakers, Phil Jackson, who was surrounded, praised Yes crazily.
Not only Phil Jackson, but after the game, when TV reporters around the world interviewed the coaches and players of the Supersonics and the Lakers, almost everyone said the same thing.
"After this game, I will never put anyone ahead of him again, not only Jordan, but also me. He has made my career regretless."
This is what Kobe said in an interview with Barkley and Kenny Smith.
"In the entire league, except for Yes's team, the Los Angeles Lakers are not afraid of any team, including the Heat."
This is what Lakers player Turkoglu said.
"Why did the Lakers lose and the Supersonics win? We are no worse than the Supersonics, except for a Yes. They have Yes and we don't, so they win and we lose, that's it."
"If I had Yes, I could beat Milicic, and I could beat the Supersonics!"
"I'm jealous of Milicic!"
This is what Lakers center Bynum said, but when Bynum said these words, Fisher next to him kept trying to drag him but couldn't.
"I am tired of losing to the same opponent every time, starting from the Magic, to the Rockets, and then to the Lakers. Yes is my nightmare. I hate this nightmare, but I can't get rid of it. I want to beat him, but I don't know when."
This is what Lakers backup small forward Ariza said.
From the mouths of these Lakers players and coaches, these TV reporters from all over the world got what they wanted, and their TV viewers also got what they wanted to hear.
After the game, whether it was coconut powder or neutral fans around the world, most of the audience were hungry to hear praise about Yes.
And after the game, how could it be that only the Lakers and Supersonics players praised Yes.
"After this game, when I say that the best scorer in basketball history is Yes, I hope you won't mention Jordan to me anymore. I allow you to mention Kobe, but please don't mention Michael!"
This was the first tweet sent by NBA's No. 1 fan, Not Fifteen, No. 2, after the game, and it almost instantly became the hottest topic on the Internet.
Even ESPN immediately made a very popular league historical scoring ability ranking, and the final vote result was that Yes received 80% of the votes, Kobe received more than 10%, and Jordan... well, it was really miserable.
"I really don't want to return to this issue at this time, but I was x-on:ed by ESPN and Fifteen, so I also say my opinion. Michael's scoring is very strong. His highest score in the playoffs was against me, but Yes is the best scorer in the league's history."
Larry Bird was helpless. He really didn't want to answer. There was no way. With his status, if he didn't express his position, the public opinion on the Internet led by Not Fifteen, No. 2 would not let him go.
In this case, the entire Internet was full of retired, active and well-known basketball people praising Yes and "complaining" about Jordan.
"I knew you would x-on:me. This is an interesting topic. As Michael's closest comrade, I won't say it too directly, but you all know what my answer is. If I want to have more fun in the game, I will choose Michael, but if I want to win the game, I will choose Yes. Basketball is a game where the team with more points wins. You know."
"If you have to make a choice among these three people, there is no doubt that Yes is the first!"
"Yes is the scoring god of the entire basketball world. He has no weaknesses. He is incredible. Of course, he is the first. Only the combination of Jordan and Kobe can compete with him in scoring. I didn't say Nick Young. Don't get me wrong. It means literally, Jordan + Kobe = Yes!"
After the game between the Seattle Supersonics and the Lakers, it was a carnival, a carnival unique to coconut powder and Kobe fans.
Yes didn't know about this carnival, but Yes could feel it.
At the press conference after the game, unlike the reporters from the TV station, the reporters from the media all over the world looked at him as if they could swallow him.
Looking at the eyes of the reporters below, even James Harden, who came to the post-match press conference with Yes this time, felt a little scared, even scarier than the eyes of those older sisters looking at him.
His data in this game was not so good. If you look at the data, it is absolutely impossible to get the level of appearing next to Yes and attending the post-match press conference with Yes.
But after he successfully got Artest off the court and became the hero of this game, everyone recommended him to come out with Yes.
A person who dares to use his life to help Yes can get the respect of all Sonics players and fans, just like Ingles, who betrayed his country for Yes.
Just like when he was interviewed on TV after the game, the words of the TV reporter made him very embarrassed, but they were quite right.
"James, congratulations, you have won the respect of fans in another way. Your past, present and future are not worthy of this year's No. 11 pick, but your courage is worth Yes paying No. 11 for you."
That's right, a elbow made him completely turn over in Seattle and the Sonics!
It was so wonderful!
"Yes, congratulations, you played another legendary game that will go down in history, defeating the Lakers, defeating Kobe, and scoring 99 points. Everything was so beautiful tonight."
"Thank you."
Yes looked at the reporter from the Seattle Stranger and corrected him after thanking him: "I didn't beat Kobe, we tied, 99 to 99."
Yes's expression was very serious, so serious that the reporter from the Stranger was a little stunned.
It seemed that this result and the tie with Kobe were really important to Yes, so he had to emphasize it like this.
It seems that Yes really respects Kobe.
However, it is difficult for anyone not to respect Kobe in this game, the Kobe who can burn his physical strength, burn his soul, and burn his life in order to score in this game.
Kobe's things outside of the game belong to things outside the game. Within the game, he is the only one who can score against such a powerful Yes, and based on Pippen's starting lineup, he is the only person in NBA history who can score against Yes. Such a confrontational person.
"Is it a draw..."
"Maybe it really is a draw."
The Stranger reporter accepted Ye Si’s serious correction.
"Yes, we can see that this season, when Durant was injured and you were required to score a lot of points to train Ibaka, you have been scoring with all your strength. You once said that he is really trying now. Scored 100 points in the game. In this game, you scored 99 points. This time you were so close to 100 points. But after you missed it this time, you don’t know when the next time will be. Will you regret it now? "
"No regrets."
Without any thought, he was decisive, not to mention the reporters at the scene and even James Harden was a little surprised.
"This is a reasonable result. As I said before, I did not beat Kobe, we were tied. In this game, whether I score 100 points or Kobe scores 100 points, in the end there is a best between us. The first to score 100 points is the winner. I deserve to win this game, and Kobe deserves to win, but a draw is the fairest and most reasonable result."
"As for the next time... maybe the next game will be the first 100-point game in my career."
After Ye Si finished speaking calmly, James Harden, who was still listening to what Ye Si said, had his mouth wide open. Not only James Harden, but also the coconut powder and coconut black media present had their mouths wide open at this time. I thought I heard it wrong.
"Y, yes, you, you say the next game?"
"I said it could be the next one."
"Yes, it's possible? Yes, do you know who the Sonics' opponent will be in the next game?"
"Got it, Heat."
"..."
Seeing Ye Si say the name of that terrible team calmly on his face, everyone present fell into collective silence.
Knowing that the opponent in the next game is the Heat, you still dare to say something like this, are you afraid that the Heat will kill you badly enough? !
After a while, many of the coconut black media were so excited that they wanted to laugh, while many of the coconut powder media looked at the serious expression on Ye Si's face and really couldn't laugh or cry.
The Heat are not the Lakers, and the Heat don't have a player like Kobe who willfully binds the victory of the game to himself!
Ye's prediction at the post-game press conference about when his 100-point score would occur quickly became the focus of all media reports around the world the next day.
After Heat players arrived in Seattle on December 24, almost all questions were about Ye's statement.
"Yes, you want to score 100 points on us?"
Wade can't believe this is true now.
"Don't worry, this is just Yes's bluff. The purpose is just to allow us to put all our defense on him to prevent him from scoring 100 points like the Cavaliers. In the end, I hope we can lose like the Cavaliers."
James's voice was a little disdainful.
Yes indeed never lies, but this time, Yes said maybe!
Typical bluff and intimidating statement!
The Heat will never let them win this game!
Even 99 points with Kobe can't scare me!
100 points?
Just give it a try!
