Chapter 819: This Rebound Was Grabbed Too Many Times!

"Yes, I really want to play ball for Marc Gasol!"

"In the first half of the game, Yes wanted to play for Marc Gasol, who was starting for the first time in this game!"

"Chris Paul is so witty!"

"When Yes held the ball and broke through to the free throw line, he frantically flanked Yes. When Yes jumped up to pass the ball and was about to find Marc Gasol, he helped defend and flank Marc Gasol. In the end, he forced all of Yes's passes. Rondo’s hands!”

"In this half of the game, the Thunder's tactical layout and Chris Paul's on-the-spot judgment and command on the court were perfect!"

At the end of the half, Kenny Smith, who recovered from the shock of the half-time score, was all praise for Chris Paul.

To be honest, the Oklahoma City Thunder are really not that strong now. After Chandler left, because the city is small, even if there is salary space, those strong players simply will not come.

In the end, the Thunder were reluctant to give the maximum salary to those players with average strength.

In the end, Alongre, a player with quite average strength, could only be allowed to serve as the team's center.

What kind of center is Aaron Gray?

With a height of 2.13 meters and a weight of 122 kilograms, this is Milicic without speed or bounce!

To put it simply, it is a human shield.

A low-end version of Milicic without Milicic's athletic ability and support ability.

With such a mediocre center who couldn't play on most teams, Chris Paul suddenly brought the Thunder and this mediocre center together.

Because he can be used as a human shield and cover for Paul, and because he has certain shooting ability and good touch, he can play pick-and-roll for Paul. Therefore, Aaron Gray, who averaged 10 minutes per game last season and only averaged 4 points and 3 rebounds per game, this This season, he was fed by Chris Paul, who averaged 16 points and 7 rebounds per game.

He averaged 32 minutes per game and averaged 16 points and 7 rebounds per game. If you look at this data just from the data, it is really a first-class center data.

But as long as they watch the Thunder's games, no one will think that Gray is a first-class center.

In addition to catching Paul's pass and throwing it, except for receiving Paul's pass under the basket and putting the ball in, and except for being able to top up people on the defensive end, Gray really doesn't have the same dominant ability as Chandler. .

Gray's characteristics are precisely suitable for brushing up data, not suitable for winning against opponents.

Look at how many rebounds Gray allowed Yes to steal in the first half of this game.

Kenny Smith looked at the first half technical statistics of the two teams in his hands, and it was really incredible.

6 of 12 shots, 16 points, 27 rebounds and 5 assists!

This is the data for Yes!

In the first half of the game, Yes's 16 points were abnormal. As a player who averaged 45+ points per game during the season, he only took 12 shots and scored 16 points in the half. This is unqualified.

But considering that Yes in this game is mainly to make a wedding dress for Gasol, this is understandable.

So although the score seems abnormal, it is actually not that abnormal.

But this rebound!

This is really abnormal!

27 rebounds in the half!

17 of the 27 rebounds were offensive rebounds!

Of the 25 irons Rondo hit, 15 eventually turned into Yes's offensive rebounds, and Yes himself also had two self-shooting shots in the first half.

From the data of Yes, we can see how bad Gray's protection at the basket is. After being blocked by Marc Gasol, there is no way to protect the Thunder's inside line.

Let Yes do whatever he wants inside!

Although David West is also responsible for the Thunder's rebounding data in the first half, as a power forward, David West is farther from the basket. Similarly, David West's opponent Millsap is also quite powerful. Even more powerful than Marc Gasol.

Compared to David West's responsibility, there is no doubt that Gray's responsibility is greater.

But from the other side, Yes grabbed 17 offensive rebounds in the half, but in the end the Seattle SuperSonics still fell behind by 15 points. From this, it can be seen that there is really someone worse than Gray on the SuperSonics side. Players!

There is no doubt who this player is more cheating than Gray!

In the first half, he took 32 shots and made 7 of 32 shots!

I played with Yes on the court for 22 minutes in the first half, and finally hit 25 irons in 22 minutes. This statistic is simply incredible!

From a statistical point of view, Gray and Rondo's data in the first half were both excellent.

Gray scored 12 points and 4 rebounds in the first half.

Rondo scored a game-high 18 points in the first half and had 4 rebounds and 2 assists.

But after watching the first half of this game, no one really thought Rondo's performance was good.

The half-time game between the SuperSonics and Thunder was shocking.

Fans who watched this game were really shocked by Rondo's terrifying iron sound in the first half!

Yes, you really trust Rondo!

Rondo really dares to throw!

At this time, many people have these two sentiments in their hearts, including Kenny Smith and Barkley.

And in the Seattle SuperSonics locker room.

In the locker room, everyone's eyes were on Rondo.

Some people's eyes are envious, some people's eyes are surprised, some people's eyes are admiring, and some people's eyes are respectful.

And what about Rondo himself?

Rondo, squatting in front of Yes and massaging his legs, had a proud look on his face!

See it!

You little bastards, did you see it!

This is how Ye Jiuye feels about Erye!

This is how Ye Jiuye wants to assist Erye!

Even if Erye missed 25 shots in the first half, Ye Jiuye would still trust Erye, respect Erye, and pass the ball to Erye!

What is the boss of the Sonics?

This is the boss of the Sonics!

Rondo, who was massaging Yes’s legs, leaned back subconsciously. Because there was no chair behind him, Rondo almost sat on the ground.

Of course, as the boss of the Sonics, it is right to reward his subordinates with his own body and hands during the halftime break.

The Sonics and Thunder were beaten by the Thunder by 15 points in the first half, but the atmosphere in the locker room was still very harmonious.

Although the score of the game between the Supersonics and the Thunder was a big one, the situation on the court was completely different.

The initiative on the court was on the Supersonics side.

This also made old Nelson quite relieved.

Yes was too selfless in the first half, and he had to penetrate very deep to connect with Marc Gasol. With Yes's basketball IQ, when the team needed to win, he would naturally change this style of play. In fact, he didn't need to say anything at all. The Supersonics would definitely return to normal in the second half.

It's impossible that Yes went to the basket in this game to help Rondo brush the iron and brush the rebounds himself, right?

Brush the rebounds?

What for!

Besides, Yes is not a person who cares about the data. Even if he cares about the data, he won't care about rebounds, which are useless data for guards.

"Mr. Nelson, do you really not need to say something?"

"No."

As the team's assistant coach, Malik Rose was a little worried, but the confident smile on old Nelson's face made people feel very relieved.

In the first half of the game, the Supersonics played very badly.

The halftime break is over.

The two teams appeared on the court again.

The Thunder did not change their tactics because they were leading in the first half. Aaron Gray, David West, Peja, Rasual Butler, and Chris Paul were in the lineup.

What was surprising was that the Seattle Supersonics were 15 points behind at halftime. Many people thought that after the halftime break, Nelson would definitely make tactical and personnel adjustments.

But after the second half, the starting lineup of the Supersonics did not change either. Marc Gasol started, Millsap, Ibaka, Yes and Rondo.

It was exactly the same!

"According to Rondo's performance in the first half, even the most tolerant team boss would let Rondo go down and take a rest."

"Rondo's touch in this game was very bad, but Yes knew that Rondo's touch was abnormally bad since the start of the game, but he always brought Rondo with him. After the pass to Marc Gasol was blocked, he immediately helped Rondo find his touch and passed the ball to Rondo. Yes is really too selfless!"

"When Yes entered the NBA, many people said that Yes's selflessness would harm Yes. Although this statement was refuted after Yes won the championship with Rondo, Millsap, and Milicic, there is no doubt that in some games, Yes's selflessness and stubbornness did harm him."

"According to Yes's stubbornness, if Rondo doesn't get his touch back in this game, the Supersonics will be in danger!"

In the press box on the sidelines, seeing the unchanged starting lineup of the Supersonics in the second half, many people's faces changed.

They also sighed. There was no way, this was Yes's character!

He never abandons any comrade!

Even if this comrade seems to be irredeemable, Yes will save him!

This kind of character can really make Coconut powder jump sometimes.

But this is also the reason why Yes is different from other players such as James!

This is why Coconut powder loves Yes so much!

"Chris!"

"I know, this is a good opportunity!"

On the court, David West was very excited, and Chris Paul was also very excited.

As an enemy, Chris Paul sometimes really respected Yes.

Anyone would respect him if he could treat his teammates with such a heart.

Didn't you see that David West next to him was obsessed with Yes?

I wish I could run to Yes and be his teammate right now.

Being teammates and brothers with a player like Yes is indeed more reassuring than being teammates and brothers with someone like LeBron.

However!

Although Yes deserves respect, the victory of this game was won by this gun!

Because the jump ball in the first half was won by Marc Gasol's first attack, and the first attack at the beginning of the second half was won by the Thunder.

The Thunder's offense in the first half was very smooth, which was really a world of difference compared to the constipation they encountered in the past when they encountered the Supersonics.

This is mainly because the player defending Paul in the first half was Rondo.

In the past, Yes often defended Rondo himself.

After the third quarter, Chris Paul, who was dribbling across half court and preparing for a pick-and-roll with David West, was surprised to find that the defender in front of him had changed from Rondo to Yes.

And Rondo, who was defending him in the first half, has now run in front of Peja!

"Yes!"

Since it was Yes's defense, Paul certainly couldn't be slow anymore. With the help of David West's screen, Chris Paul passed through Yes's defense.

Hmm?

Chris Paul was a little surprised after getting rid of Yes's defense.

Because he couldn't get rid of Yes so easily in the past!

A screen is like getting rid of Yes, that's just a dream!

However, after Chris Paul broke through and saw Yes catching up behind him, his expression returned to normal!

"Want to block me from behind!"

Thinking of this, Chris Paul's eyes flickered, and after one step past the free throw line, he jumped up directly!

While jumping up, Paul's butt also swung out diagonally!

This is his signature move to create a rear-end collision!

Now the rear-end collision scene is ready, just waiting for Yes to rear-end!

Just when Chris Paul jumped up and prepared to create a rear-end foul on Yes, what surprised Chris Paul was that Yes actually stopped between him and David West...

Yes, stopped...

Looking at Yes who stopped between him and David West, and then looking at the situation where there was no one around to pass the ball.

Chris Paul is a little confused now.

Yes, does he want to see me shoot?

Did I think too much just now?

There is no way to pass the ball, passing the ball is a mistake, Paul finally gritted his teeth and threw the basketball in his hand.

Bang!

The forced shot that failed to draw a foul ended in a miss.

The rebound was taken away by Yes.

Didn’t Yes want to block me just now?

Looking at Yes holding the basketball in his arms, Paul’s eyes flickered and puzzled.

Yes glanced at Paul and ignored Paul’s doubts.

He just dribbled the ball forward.

If Paul didn’t stick his butt up, he would go to block the shot.

Since Paul stuck his butt up and he couldn’t block it, why did he jump up and foul?

This is his third year.

But he is not a young player in the third year.

He has never seen the combination of Chris Paul and PG, and the application of PG on the offensive end.

So if you are behind Chris Paul, don’t go over after Chris Paul sticks his butt up. Whoever goes up will be in trouble. Just watch him throw the ball.

"I knew Yes would make changes in the second half!"

The first defense was to stop Chris Paul and the Thunder, and old Nelson was very satisfied.

On the defensive end, Yes has already made changes.

Now it depends on the offensive end.

Hmm?

Just when old Nelson was expecting Yes to make changes on the offensive end.

With a clang, the sound of Rondo's basketball shot hitting the iron directly shattered all of old Nelson's expectations.

"Rondo received the pass from Yes again!"

"Rondo actually threw it again!"

"This is Rondo's 26th iron in this game!"

"Yes grabbed the 29th rebound in this game!"

"Yes's layup was interfered by David West!"

"Nice continuous bounce, this is Yes's 30th rebound in this game, 19 offensive rebounds!"

"Nice attack again, Yes made another tip-in!"

Thirty rebounds? !

Yes has just played three quarters and has thirty rebounds?

Aren't these rebounds a bit too many?

Barkley was roaring.

This ball was really impressive, and the Sonics fans who had been quiet throughout the first half were also roaring.

Kenny Smith looked at the Sonics No. 9 who was still calm on the court.

Recalling his tip-in just now.

Very easy!

Really easy!

In the first half, Yes also had several such opportunities, but he didn't get a second attack in a row.

Yes let it go in the first half?

How is this possible!

Thinking of this, Kenny Smith felt that he was overthinking!

However!

Thirty rebounds in less than three quarters!

Who holds the NBA single-game rebound record?

I remember it was Chamberlain's 55 in a single game?

Could it be? !
