Chapter 838: Chris Paul Is Cleansed and James Is Tired!
In the game against the Spurs, Yes was somewhat dissatisfied with the final loss of the Supersonics.
He explicitly rejected Bowen's trade request.
Some things can be traded, but the team's victory cannot be used for trading.
Unless the team's failure can bring greater benefits to the team.
He did not think about losing the game against the Spurs.
But in the end, the Supersonics still lost.
The other players of the Spurs in this game really showed their unity, which is one point.
Another point is that forcing a quadruple or a pentadouble really hurts the team, which is the second point.
Because of these two points, even if he has a great advantage over Bruce Bowen, such an advantage cannot make up for the disadvantages of these two points.
The reason why Yes did not want to lose this game against the Spurs is not only because the team's victory or defeat cannot be used for trading.
The most important thing is that the Seattle Supersonics really can't accept failure anymore.
After losing to the Spurs, the Seattle Supersonics have lost four of the last five games.
Now the record of the Seattle Supersonics has become 52 wins and 22 losses.
Although this record still makes the Seattle SuperSonics rank eighth in the West.
But thanks to the Phoenix Suns' focus game against the Rockets on April 1, the Suns won 114 to 108 at home.
If the Rockets win the game against the Suns.
Then the records of the Rockets, SuperSonics, and Suns will all become 52 wins and 22 losses, and the ranking of the three teams with the same record will become quite complicated.
Of course, even if the records of the three teams are the same, according to the ranking rules, it seems that the Suns are most likely to fall to ninth. The mutual record between the Suns and the Rockets is superior, but the mutual record between the Suns and the SuperSonics is inferior. Of course, the mutual record between the SuperSonics and the Rockets is inferior to that of the SuperSonics.
In short, it is quite complicated.
Therefore, the Suns finally defeated the Rockets at home, which can be regarded as holding the top eight position for themselves. Not only did they keep the top eight position, but they also climbed to seventh in the West in one fell swoop.
Before the last five games of the Supersonics, the Supersonics had a four-game lead over the Rockets. After this wave of losses, the Supersonics and Rockets are now only one game apart.
The four teams in the West that are now sprinting for the playoffs are the Timberwolves with a record of 54 wins and 20 losses, the Suns with 53 wins and 21 losses, Seattle with 52 wins and 22 losses, and the Houston Rockets with 51 wins and 23 losses.
There are still eight games left in the NBA, and the current rankings of the four teams are theoretically likely to change.
Of course, in terms of the situation, the Timberwolves are the best, the Suns are second, and the Supersonics are not that good now.
The Supersonics seem to be one win ahead of the Rockets.
But because the Rockets have an advantage in the win-loss record between the Rockets and the Supersonics, if the two teams have the same record, then the Rockets will squeeze the Supersonics out of the playoffs.
It can be said that the Supersonics are actually only half a game ahead of the Rockets, not one game as shown in the record.
Given the current situation of the last four teams in the Western Conference, and the fact that the Supersonics could be squeezed to ninth place in the Western Conference by the Rockets at any time, according to the hype about Yes and the Supersonics' record by the media all over the United States and the world at the beginning or mid-season of the season.
It is certain that the whole world is hyping that Yes finally couldn't hold on, and the Supersonics are finally going to fall.
But now, what shocked Yes and the Supersonics is that
No one in the media around the world is still concerned about whether the Seattle Supersonics might be squeezed out of the top eight in the Western Conference by the Rockets.
It should be said that before the Seattle Supersonics really fell out of the top eight in the Western Conference, no one except the Supersonics would care about the Supersonics' record.
Now, everyone in the world is concerned about the quadruple-double competition between Yes and Chris Paul.
In this world, there are actually two players who can compete with each other for quadruple-doubles!
This is really incredible.
To be honest, Yes found it quite unbelievable.
Yes thought that after he got a quadruple-double against the Spurs, Chris Paul should not be able to get a quadruple-double.
But in the end, Paul completed a quadruple-double in two consecutive games.
He actually followed his quadruple-double pace.
After the two completed two quadruple-doubles like this, one on offense and one on defense.
The media experts in the league quickly dug out Chris Paul's previous data.
In the end, these media experts were surprised to find that Chris Paul, whose reputation in the league was not 15th but second in recent seasons, was actually one of the players with the most quasi-quadruple-doubles except Yes!
For example, when Chris Paul faced the Mavericks, last season, on February 20, 2008, he had already scored 31 points, 11 assists, 9 steals and 5 rebounds!
For example, also last season, in February 2008, Chris Paul faced the Suns, who were almost invincible in the league last season, and played 42 points, 9 assists, 8 steals and 5 rebounds.
Even in the previous season, when Chris Paul faced James' Cavaliers, he had already played a quasi-quadruple-double, 20 points, 9 assists, 7 steals and 6 rebounds!
That was in 2007!
Even when these media experts were tracing Chris Paul's earliest quasi-quadruple-double, they actually traced it back to 2005!
On December 18, 2005, Chris Paul faced the then-powerful Spurs. As a rookie, Chris Paul finally defeated the Spurs with 17 points, 12 rebounds, 9 assists and 5 steals, which was a quasi-quadruple-double!
These are still Chris Paul's relatively well-known battles. For example, on April 5, 2006, Chris Paul played 17 points, 16 assists, 11 rebounds and 6 assists against the Warriors, which was a quasi-triple-double against a not-so-strong team. That was not listed!
Finally, these media experts were surprised to find that this point guard who was forgotten, ridiculed and humiliated by them was really a treasure point guard!
A point guard who can dig out such a big treasure with just a dig like this, isn't he a treasure point guard?
"No wonder he can play a quadruple-double duel with Yes..."
Wang Han looked at the quasi-quadruple-double data of Chris Paul in recent years compiled by USA Today, and her pretty face was really full of shock.
The other Chinese reporters next to her also had the same expression.
"What 58? We were really misled by the fact that it was not 15 but 2nd. Chris Paul is not a clown at all, he is simply Grandpa St. Paul!"
Grandpa St. Paul?
Wang Han and other Chinese reporters saw Yang Huahua's exaggerated expression and tone at this time and didn't know what to say for a while.
Although Yang Huahua's words seemed a bit exaggerated.
But...
Everyone looked at the data listed by USA Today, and they really didn't think it was so exaggerated.
"When Yes's appearance stole all the attention and dimmed most of the league's guards, when No. 15 but No. 2 fanned the flames and bullied Chris Paul, we were all confused by the eye-catching surprises in front of us. Chris Paul's strength and power were ignored by all of us. With the Thunder who lost Chandler, Chris Paul's data this year is 23+11+6+3 per game. For a point guard, this is a perfect data. Similarly, a record of 37 wins and 37 losses may not seem good compared to the top nine in the West, but this is in the West. Being able to lead such a team to a 50% winning rate in the West is already better than most of the league's superstars. All are even better. "
"If the Thunder were not among the top ten in the West, Chris Paul could even compete with Yes for the regular season MVP!"
"If Chandler was there, whether Chris Paul and the Thunder would be completely different this season, no one knows, but we do have reason to believe that Chris Paul is indeed qualified to be obsessed with LeBron James. Whether he can defeat Yes and crush Yes's dynasty is still unknown, but he did crush his best brother's MVP dream!"
"LeBron James is not on the court, but he once again backstabbed his best brother outside the court!"
This is an article in USA Today calling for Chris Paul.
The whole world is paying attention to the quadruple-double competition between Chris Paul and Yes.
With such a large amount of public attention, it is difficult for people not to pay attention to Chris Paul's living environment in recent years.
In the end, these media around the world who cooperated with not fifteen but second black Chris Paul finally found out how incredible it was that they were blackening a person and clownizing a person.
These people finally repented.
It can be said that how black Chris Paul was in the past few years, how shining Chris Paul is now.
Are these people whitewashing Chris Paul really because of repentance?
Of course not.
If the media reporters will repent, it is equivalent to the sun rising from the west.
These people are still trying to get attention, and such blackening of Chris Paul will get the most attention.
Chris Paul got four doubles in two consecutive games, and he still wants to blacken him. Even if he is not the 15th but the second, it is unbearable!
In this case, then praise him, praise him a lot!
And now that Chris Paul is praised a lot, you can also take the opportunity to blacken James.
This is not one share of attention, but two shares of attention!
This deal is not good, not cost-effective!
"Chris, he was whitewashed..."
Dwyane Wade is really incredible now.
He is of course very happy that Chris is suddenly whitewashed.
But, it's okay for you to whitewash Chris, why do you have to blacken LeBron?
We know that Chris is very strong, but what makes you say that Chris can compete with Yes, Kobe, Bowen and O'Neal for MVP with Chandler?
It's as if LeBron killed Chris's whole family.
Originally, LeBron has forgiven Chris. As long as Chris also forgives LeBron, we are still good brothers.
But after what you guys did, when will Chris forgive LeBron?
Dwyane Wade is really, really upset now.
And LeBron James next to him is even more upset now.
James is now waiting for the last regular season home game against the Supersonics to turn the tide!
So, even if Yes got a quadruple-double now, he is still bleeding, but he is still enduring.
Impatience can ruin big plans.
However, as Chris was whitewashed, his blood loss became bigger and bigger.
Originally, with the recent winning streak, many people had forgotten what he had done before.
But Chris made many people remember what he had done before.
It can be said that in the Chandler incident, except for the Heat fans and those who supported him, everyone stood on Chris' side.
Now, Chris is a white lotus who was harmed by Not Fifteen Is Second and him.
In contrast to Chris, the white lotus, he and Not Fifteen Is Second are both said to be evil people.
It doesn't matter if Not Fifteen Is Second is labeled as an evil person, because he is not competing for the NBA MVP. Even if no media labeled him as an evil person, it would not affect his status online and among coconut powder.
But he is different!
He is going to win the regular season MVP!
Reputation is still very, very important to him.
Now that Chris has done this, those who originally voted for him as the first pick may give him the second or third pick, and those who might have voted for him may not give him the vote now.
The competition for the regular season MVP this year was already so fierce, and now that Chris has done this, he is going to be screwed!
Moreover, after Chris was portrayed as his victim by the media all over the world, the longer Chris stands in front of him, the more blood he will lose.
For him, the best way is for Chris to hide again and be invisible to others again.
Is this possible?
This is impossible!
Watching the game that just ended on TV, the Minnesota Timberwolves challenged the Oklahoma City Thunder as a guest.
The Thunder defeated the Timberwolves 108 to 99 at home!
In this game, Chris, like the Mavericks, also screwed these young Timberwolves.
The key to this game is not whether Chris screwed these young Timberwolves.
The key to this game is that Chris got another quadruple-double in this game!
16 points, 15 assists, 10 rebounds, and 11 steals!
Damn it!
Watching Chris Paul on TV, who was covered with his right leg and supported by his teammates, leaving the court amid the cheers of Thunder fans and the standing ovation of reporters, James' face was very ugly.
This is really endless!
What makes James feel endless is that.
On April 3, in the game between the Supersonics and the Nuggets, Yes faced his other good brother Carmelo Anthony and gave Chris Paul a quadruple-double again!
"36 points, 16 rebounds, 11 assists, 10 blocks, 6 steals!"
"Yes responded to Chris Paul again with a quadruple-double that was close to a quintuple-double!"
"This is an incredible contest that seems to have no end!"
Listening to Barkley's crazy voice, James was really tired.
At the critical moment, why didn't any of the brothers give strength...
The only thing he can be thankful for now is that Melo didn't let Yes get a quintuple-double.
If Yes really got a quintuple-double, then everything would be over!
As expected, at any time, I can still rely on myself...
Looking at the person enjoying the glory on TV, James clenched his fists tightly.
Don't worry, these glories will belong to me soon!
