Chapter 832: Suppressing James? Intentionally? Unintentionally?
After the game with the Bulls, Yes hosted two Chinese players from the Bulls in Seattle. With the success of the Bulls this season, Zhu Fangyu and Wang Shipeng have become more and more stable in the Bulls.
In the NBA, not only strong players can survive, but also some players with leadership or other characteristics can survive.
Even some players with very strong strength in the NBA cannot gain a foothold in the NBA for various reasons.
For example, Marbury, a player of the Heat.
Marbury was the first player of the Heat to publicly distrust James because of the reason why James went undercover in the Christmas game.
Marbury directly stated after the Christmas game that the Heat was Wade's team and the reason he came to the Heat was Wade.
This fired the first shot for many Heat players to support Wade, but unfortunately, Wade supported James.
So Marbury, who thought he had successfully stood up for his team, never dreamed that he would be kicked out of the team by Wade, whom he personally supported.
After leaving the Heat, Marbury still has very good strength, not to mention the strength of the peak All-Star level, but there is no problem for him to play as a starter or an important rotation in many teams.
But because of his personality problem, no team extended an olive branch to him until the end, and finally this all-powerful NBA All-Star could only go to China and the CBA.
When Marbury left the NBA, many NBA basketball experts said sarcastically that with Marbury's personality, he would leave in disgrace even if he went to China.
Marbury did leave the NBA in disgrace.
And Marbury's personality is indeed a problem wherever he goes.
Zhu Fangyu and Wang Shipeng have a completely opposite feeling to players like Marbury.
These two people did not have such a shitty thing in the Bulls, not even at all. Although their strength is indeed a little bit worse, they can play a lot of roles in the Bulls, a rebuilding team.
Therefore, unless the Bulls have completed their reconstruction and need to compete for the championship, and need players with ability and contribution in every position and quota, Zhu Fangyu and Wang Shipeng will not be abandoned by the Bulls. Even if they are abandoned by the Bulls, there will be many rebuilding teams willing to invite them to their teams as "special players".
Yes's comrades-in-arms, teach the young people of the team the stories of Yes in the past, and encourage the young people of the team to learn from Yes. Rose can do it, and Rose has grown so well, why can't the young people of their team?
Moreover, it is really difficult for these two to play in a championship-level team, but they still have some game value in a rebuilding team or even a playoff-level team.
Both of them averaged more than 6 points per game in the Bulls this season, and their three-point shooting percentage was more than 35%. Zhu Fangyu was even the All-Star three-point king this season.
It can be said that Zhu Fangyu and Wang Shipeng have established their foothold in the NBA with their performance in the Bulls this season.
Therefore, when they hosted the two national team teammates this time, they were in a very good mood.
People are refreshed when they are happy.
"Xiao Ye, the best choice in our career is to come to the Bulls."
"The best person we met in our career is you."
"You are the benefactor of all of us. This is not just what we two said, everyone said it."
"It's really hard to imagine that one day we can have such a role in the NBA.
We can see more and more Chinese players in the NBA in the future."
"Xiao Ye, because of your appearance, the fate of all of us has changed. You are not only the miracle of Seattle, the miracle of China, but also our miracle!"
The Bulls lost the game against the Supersonics, but Wang Shipeng, Zhu Fangyu and Rose left without any frustration.
The Chicago Bulls, who did not lose their fighting spirit because of this defeat, once again moved forward for a good ranking in the Eastern Conference playoffs.
And Yes, naturally, also needs to lead the team forward, and at the same time keep himself moving forward.
In this game against the Bulls, Yes tried to play a quadruple-double.
The final result was of course a failure.
If Yes just tried to play a triple-double in this game, it would be relatively easy.
But a quadruple-double...
This is really difficult.
If Paul's Thunder team didn't have Aaron Gray, a defensive center who didn't have the strength to start in the NBA, he wouldn't have had 15 steals. If the Nuggets didn't have Hamilton and Billups, two avengers with high fighting spirit, he wouldn't have had 21 blocks in the game.
In this game against Rose, he was already very familiar with Rose, but he still only had six steals in the whole game. For these six steals, he spent an unimaginable amount of energy and energy in this game!
The task of a quadruple-double is difficult, not to mention that the total number of the four highest double-digit data exceeds 90. According to the most economical calculation method, it also requires 60 points, 10 assists, 10 rebounds and 10 steals.
In this game against the Bulls, Yes spent a lot of energy to steal Rose, which made Yes's accumulation of other data not enough.
Fortunately, the ten-ring superstar has completed the last two rings of the task, and Yes has enough time and opportunity to complete these two tasks.
Even now, Yes does not have to complete the task immediately. He needs to accumulate experience in completing the task. As long as he waits for the moment when the opportunity comes and accumulates experience on how to efficiently get a quadruple-double or even a quintuple-double, Yes can complete the task smoothly.
In the game with the Bulls, although Yes did not get a quadruple-double, he gained good experience. At least he knew that the most important basis for getting a quadruple-double is to reasonably allocate his energy to the four data.
In this game, because the opponent he faced was too strong, he allocated too much energy to steals, and also too little.
Compared with his total energy in a game, he allocated too much energy to steals in this game, but compared with the energy required to steal Rose ten times, the energy allocated in this game was not enough.
According to the strength of Rose and his teammates, he wanted to steal Rose ten times in this game, which was not impossible. He needed to focus most of his energy on stealing the ball from Rose and his teammates.
It was not worth it.
After the game with the Bulls, Yes's research on how to achieve a quadruple-double or a penta-double in an economical and practical way continued.
On March 20, 2009, the Seattle SuperSonics played at home and faced the challenge of the Utah Jazz, who are now the third from the bottom in the Western Conference.
In this game, Yes met an old friend, Will Conroy, one of the Garfield Five Tigers.
After Will Conroy came to the Jazz, he secured the position of the Jazz's starting point guard because Deron Williams was traded away.
Although Conroy's strength and potential are far from Yes and Roy.
In the NBA, he is at best a good rotation player. Before the Lakers, he was indeed a qualified dribbling guard and rotation player next to Kobe.
He himself is also very clear about his strength and position, so when he first came to the Jazz, he was unwilling.
But now...
"Yes, I think the fried chicken in Salt Lake City is very good, even better than that in Los Angeles!"
The fried chicken in Salt Lake City is really delicious...
This is what Conroy often said when chatting with him, the two balls and Roy.
Yes doesn't know whether the fried chicken in Salt Lake City is really better than that in other places, because he has never eaten fried chicken in Salt Lake City, nor has he eaten fried chicken in other places.
But Yes can feel that Conroy's data in the two seasons with the Jazz is really good.
There is no pressure of record. The team has only one qualified starting point guard, and he is the kind of point guard who can brush all offensive skills except for the height and defense problems.
In the past two seasons, except that the Jazz can't win any games and there is no attention, Conroy's data is really good.
This season, he even averaged 15+7 assists per game, and of course, 3.5 turnovers per game is also quite explosive.
Originally, Conroy wanted to be an ordinary rotation player when he entered the NBA.
He never thought that he would have a season where he could average double-digit points and 7 assists per game.
When he left Los Angeles and the Lakers, he was reluctant.
But if Conroy is given another chance now, let him be a dribbling guard next to Kobe and a core point guard in the Jazz, let him make a choice.
Yes believes that Conroy is definitely unwilling to continue to be a dribbling guard next to Kobe.
In this game against the Jazz, Conroy is still brushing his own data, and Yes, of course, Conroy brushes Conroy's data, and he brushes his data.
It's just that Yes is a little regretful that the Jazz is really too weak now.
He and Conroy only brushed for three quarters, and there was no way to continue brushing.
Conroy brushed 15 points and 8 assists in three quarters.
And Yes brushed 30 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists and 7 steals in three quarters.
"Yes, you really don't care about brotherhood at all!"
Don't care about brotherhood?
Yes tilted his head and looked at Conroy curiously.
He looked like I will definitely not let you make mistakes and explode your data in the next game.
In this game, he had a quadruple-double of steals. In the next game against Conroy, he can also have a quadruple-double of blocks.
By then, Conroy's data will definitely not be 15 points, 8 assists, and 6 turnovers in this game. In the next game, Conroy's data may be 0 points, 0 turnovers, and N iron shots.
"Will, are you sure?"
"Yes, don't look at me like that, I'm scared!"
Looking at the blinking eyes and serious expression on the face of his friend in front of him, Conroy was really a little nervous.
Ye's brain circuit is quite strange.
"Haha, Ye, I was just joking just now. This is good, very good, haha."
Hearing that Conroy's address for him changed from Yes to Ye, Yes nodded as if he didn't quite understand why Conroy was beating around the bush.
It's still good this way!
Conroy smiled, and he was relieved because he was "overly frightened".
When Ye's brain circuit becomes strange, Ye can really make him die 108 different ways on the court!
132 to 106, the Seattle SuperSonics defeated the Utah Jazz at home, ending their recent home run.
After the recent relatively easy home schedule, the Seattle SuperSonics are now in sixth place in the West.
Of course, the playoffs are not over yet, and it is still very difficult to say where the Seattle SuperSonics will eventually rank in the West.
But many people think that it will be difficult for the Seattle SuperSonics to rank ninth in the West, as the record difference between the SuperSonics and the Rockets is now four games.
On March 22, 2009, after finishing the consecutive home schedule, the Seattle SuperSonics started their road trip in Minnesota.
Five days after reaching the sixth place in the West, when the game between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Timberwolves ended, the sixth place in the West was replaced by the Timberwolves.
This season, the teams that restrain the current SuperSonics are known to the world as the Grizzlies, the Mavericks and the Rockets. Among them, the Rockets and the Grizzlies are both good at restraining the SuperSonics' inside line and double-teaming Yes, while the Mavericks are restraining Ibaka's point, and they seize the opportunity to play hard. Everyone in the Mavericks can play Ibaka.
In the NBA, in addition to the Mavericks, a team where almost every starter can play Ibaka, the Timberwolves are also such a team, and the Timberwolves are even more brutal than the Mavericks!
The Mavericks play Ibaka because of the individual strength of the players.
The Timberwolves play Ibaka because of the Timberwolves' core auxiliary tactics with Yi Jianlian as the core, which is a tactic that can hit the opponent's weaknesses.
The overall strength of the Timberwolves' players is not as strong as that of the Mavericks, but their tactics are more targeted.
In this season's game against the Timberwolves, Yes used the monthly preservation of his touch to defeat the Timberwolves once. This season, the Supersonics failed in all other matches between the two teams.
This game is no exception. The Seattle Supersonics still lost in this game in Minnesota.
117 to 128, the Seattle Supersonics lost to the Timberwolves in their first away game.
However, in this game, Yes played a full 48 minutes, and at the same time, his data looked more like a quadruple-double than in previous games.
40 points, 9 rebounds, 12 assists, 7 steals.
Although this data is still far from the quadruple-double with a total of more than 90 completed tasks.
But it is not that far from the quadruple-double.
If the Timberwolves were not too accurate in this game, Yes's rebounds could be even higher, and naturally it could be closer to the quadruple-double.
At the same time, this game also made Yes understand that it is really difficult to get steals and blocks against ordinary NBA teams!
This game with the Timberwolves made Yes's data infinitely close to the quadruple-double.
At the same time, plus the previous few games, it naturally attracted the attention of many other people in the NBA.
"Kenny, if every data above five is considered a quasi-double, this is the number of consecutive games that Yes has a quasi-quadruple-double?!"
Barkley doesn't even doubt it now!
Although Kenny Smith next to him didn't want to believe it, he also nodded cautiously.
Is Yes acting nonchalant or intentional?
Because LeBron has been screened with triple-doubles recently, so Yes wants to get a quadruple-double to suppress LeBron?
If this is actually okay, it means that it is not easy for Yes to play a quadruple-double.
But what if it is unintentional?
Compared to intentional, Kenny Smith believes that Yes is unintentional, mainly because Yes himself does not care about data at all.
Yes's pursuit of data is very low.
Don't look at Yes's current data as "arrogant".
Averaging 45 points per game seems incredible.
But anyone who has watched all of Yes's games this season knows it.
Yes is not only averaging 45 points per game, nor is he very reluctant to get 45 points per game.
Yes can really break Chamberlain's scoring record, and it may be very easy.
But with Yes's scoring ability and skills, can you imagine that he sometimes doesn't even take 20 shots in a game?
You don't know that you will miss every shot. If you want to break Chamberlain's scoring record of 50+ per game, more shots are the kingly way!
But Yes doesn't!
For a person who is so indifferent to data, any of his data is unlikely to be intentional.
If it is unintentional...
It is said that LeBron accidentally hits a triple-double in every game.
If Yes could accidentally hit a quadruple-double in every game, then...
No matter whether Yes intended to suppress LeBron or not, Yes's strength...
is too incredible...
Thinking of this, Kenny Smith even felt a chill on his back!
