Chapter 841 The Wheel of History Is Rolling!

"I didn't expect that one of us and the Seattle SuperSonics would not make the playoffs this season."

In the hotel in Dallas, Yao Ming, Roy, Gerald Wallace and other Rockets players now have very solemn expressions on their faces.

Looking at his teammates like this, Yao Ming didn't know what to say for a moment.

The Rockets were the strongest team in the league last season, with a record of 73 wins and 9 losses in the regular season, breaking the Chicago Bulls' regular season record that was considered unbreakable.

And what about the Seattle SuperSonics?

The Seattle SuperSonics were the NBA champions last season, and can be said to be the real biggest winner of the NBA last season.

It can be said that last season, the Rockets were the biggest regular season winner in the NBA, and the SuperSonics were the biggest playoff winners.

These are the two teams. If someone said before the start of this season that one of these two teams might not make the playoffs, the person who said so would definitely be considered a lunatic.

But now, only one of the two teams can make the playoffs.

Even if the Phoenix Suns, who are now 60 wins and 21 losses, lose the last game against the Timberwolves, they can only be surpassed by the Seattle Supersonics from seventh to eighth, and it is impossible for them to be surpassed by the Rockets, who are now 58 wins and 23 losses.

In other words, the Phoenix Suns' playoff position has been determined.

The only difference is whether this team is seventh or eighth. If they win the Timberwolves, they will be guaranteed to be seventh. If they lose the Timberwolves, if the Supersonics win the Heat, they will be eighth. If the Supersonics lose to the Heat, they will still be seventh.

But if the Rockets want to enter the playoffs, they must beat the Mavericks in the last away game, and the Supersonics must lose to the Heat.

In this game between the Supersonics and the Heat, judging from the recent words of the Heat players, the Heat will definitely go all out, and the Seattle Supersonics will not have a great chance of winning away.

But if the Rockets want to enter the playoffs, it is not enough for the Seattle Supersonics to lose, the Rockets themselves must also beat the Mavericks!

The Mavericks are now fourth in the West, and it is impossible to catch up with the first-placed Spurs in the West. Therefore, even if the Mavericks' record is better than that of the Lakers and the Nuggets, they can only rank fourth. It is impossible to catch up with the first, and it is impossible to be caught up by the fifth-placed Grizzlies. This makes the Mavericks' attitude towards the last regular season game worth choosing and pondering.

In terms of the current situation, the Rockets are indeed better.

Because the Mavericks don't care about the last game, it is really hard to say how much strength they can use to fight the Rockets.

After all, the Mavericks will play the very powerful Grizzlies in the first round of the playoffs.

There is no benefit for the Mavericks to fight the Rockets.

But.

Even if the Rockets are in a better situation than the Supersonics now, the initiative is still not in the hands of the Rockets.

This is the most troublesome part.

The possibility of the Seattle Supersonics defeating the Heat who are going all out is very small, and perhaps a miracle is needed for such a thing to happen.

But don't forget that Xiaoye is the best at creating miracles in the history of basketball!

As the person who won the Olympic championship with Xiaoye in the Chinese team, Yao Ming knows even more how dangerous this is.

Not only he knows, Roy knows, Gerald Wallace and other Rockets players who were defeated by the Supersonics in the playoffs last season also know very well.

"The Seattle Supersonics and Yes are in a desperate situation!"

"Yes and the Seattle Supersonics will miss the playoffs!"

"Reusing Ibaka this season has become the most unbearable burden for the Supersonics and Yes!"

"Ibaka will become a historical sinner in Seattle!"

"We are about to face the only time in Yes's career that he cannot enter the playoffs!"

These are the voices and public opinions outside now.

Many people are looking forward to the failure of Little Leaf and the Supersonics.

With Little Leaf's current status in the NBA, if he and the Supersonics cannot enter the playoffs, it will really be a big news.

At this time, these people who like to watch the excitement will subconsciously ignore Little Leaf's previous great achievements.

Rational?

If these people are really rational, how could there be so many false news in this world every day.

These people are ignoring these things now.

As Rockets players, as players competing with Little Leaf, how could they ignore it!

"We don't need to worry about the wins and losses of the Seattle SuperSonics and the Heat. For us, if we want to enter the playoffs, it's very simple. We just need to beat the Mavericks!"

"No matter what the record of the SuperSonics and the Heat is, beating the Mavericks is the only thing we have to do!"

Yao Ming is so tough in the Rockets.

But his remarks did strengthen the hearts of all Rockets players.

In such a situation, everyone will be very shaken.

Everyone will think a lot.

This is understandable. As long as you are a person, you will be like this.

But, at the same time, the more you need to be calm and firm.

Seeing that the Rockets players' faces became firm again under Yao Ming's encouragement, Rockets head coach Adelman was relieved.

This season is really too unfriendly to the Rockets.

After losing the playoffs last year, the assistant general manager, who was the culprit of the team's failure, is still missing. Some people say that he accidentally fell into the sea, and some say that he committed suicide by jumping into the sea.

In short, he has never appeared since then.

This season, the Rockets were ambushed by several Eastern teams at the beginning of the season. After losing several games that they should not have lost, they could never turn things around.

Facing Eastern teams, especially those Eastern teams that are not that strong, you really can't lose!

Everyone is winning, but you are the only one who lost. Now you have to find those games you lost against Eastern teams in these Western teams. How passive you will be!

They have tried very hard, and the Rockets are even the team with the best record in the second half of the league, but they are still a little bit behind and still can't take the initiative.

Although according to public opinion outside, the Rockets have a 90% chance of entering the playoffs, they are really afraid of the number 90%. Last season, their probability of defeating the Supersonics in the playoffs was also 90%!

But what happened in the end?

The final champion was the Seattle Supersonics!

"James, why do I feel that you have become very, very excited since you came to Miami?"

"Huh? Is that so? Am I? Mark, don't slander me!"

James Harden in the hotel quickly stuffed the swimming trunks he was about to take out into the suitcase.

I, James Harden, am a serious person. How could I be excited because I came to Miami and there are many big-mouthed ladies on the beach here!

Am I the kind of person who likes big-butt ladies!

"James, now is the time for a big battle. I advise you to stay focused. If you are undercover in this game, think about what Serge has experienced recently."

Gasol reminded his roommate seriously.

After hearing Gasol's reminder, James Harden felt his butt cool.

Ibaka has not had a good life recently.

Since everyone has focused on the record of the Supersonics.

Ibaka has become the target of coconut powder and coconut powder media.

According to coconut powder and coconut powder media, if the Seattle Supersonics fail to make the playoffs this season, Ibaka will be to blame!

James Harden thinks that there is nothing wrong with these coconut powder and coconut powder media blaming Ibaka for the poor record of the Supersonics this season.

In fact, Ibaka does need to be responsible for the team's current record.

Although the whole team can see Ibaka's progress, Ibaka's progress is exchanged by Yes for the team's record, and there is no problem with that.

Even Ibaka himself admits this problem.

So he is the hardest-working person in the Supersonics besides Yes, and he is very grateful to Yes and the team.

"I heard that Serge has taken the initiative to find Mr. Nelson and wants to step down from the starting position?"

James Harden asked in a low voice while looking at Gasol.

"Serge did apply to step down from the starting position, but Serge's starting position is not something Mr. Nelson can decide."

Gasol shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Yes sternly rejected Serge's request to leave the starting lineup, and at the same time, Yes also rejected Kevin's request to return early."

James Harden was shocked to hear Gasol's words.

Yes, rejected Ibaka's request to leave the starting lineup?

According to the current situation of the Supersonics, shouldn't Yes accept Ibaka's request naturally? This would only sacrifice Ibaka's present and future, and would not lose his face.

Because now, whether it is the coconut powder media or the coconut black media, everyone in the world wants to see Ibaka leave the starting lineup.

The coconut powder media hopes that Ibaka will leave the starting lineup and Durant will return, so that the Supersonics may still have a glimmer of hope.

And what about the coconut black media? Ibaka is still in the starting lineup. Even if the Heat beat the Supersonics, the Heat won a little bit of an unfair victory.

Since it is to humiliate Yes, why can't Yes be humiliated more speechlessly and more fiercely?

Therefore, if Yes took advantage of the situation to replace Ibaka and replaced Durant at this time, it would definitely get unanimous approval.

But...

In the end, Yes refused...

"You know Kevin's game status. It's really not the right time for Kevin to come back now."

When James Harden heard Marc Gasol say this, he wanted to laugh.

He used to think that Rondo was the most loyal player in the team.

Until... after Durant came back...

In the team's training games, Durant was really loyal!

According to the team's statistics, Durant's shooting percentage in the training games was not even 30%!

Not only was he loyal, but he made a lot of mistakes.

When dribbling, he either hit his feet or dropped the ball directly.

Seeing Durant like this, many coconut powder reporters on the sidelines really shook their heads.

He knew that many coconut powder media were privately saying whether Durant was useless.

The reason why coconut powder media wanted Durant to come back was because they thought that even if Durant was useless, he was better than Ibaka.

Many anti-James media probably think that a useless Durant is no longer a threat, and may even be just the right player to give James another medal.

After all, Durant is useless, but he is still the league's scoring leader, the league's second-team player, and the league's All-Star starter.

After Durant starts, the Sonics' starters will be Milicic, Millsap, Durant, Yes and Rondo. Four All-Stars start, and the Heat also start four All-Stars, Chandler, Bosh, James, Ben Gordon and Wade.

So, these coconut-black media are really shameless.

They are also four All-Stars, are All-Stars and All-Stars the same thing!

Your four All-Stars are All-Stars at the level of the star players of the four teams.

Our four All-Stars are a group of trash brought up by Yes.

Isn't this bullying!

"In short, James, be careful. Don't have too much fun before the game with the Heat and become exhausted during the game. If that happens..."

"Don't worry, Mark. I won't. Are you still worried about the character of James Harden?"

Looking at the honest smile on James Harden's face and the swimming trunks stuffed in, Marc Gasol felt that he was really worried.

This kid is really addicted to that thing. He can't change it at all, and he is addicted regardless of the occasion!

However, he has reminded James, and whether James listens or not, he has no choice. He has done his best.

Besides, he said that James should not go undercover in the game with the Heat, and he himself does not want to go undercover either. The Heat's inside line is really strong!

"We have now reached the last mile. If you are willing to give up, I will not give up."

"No matter what the result is, no matter what the world is like, since I have chosen to trust you, I will always choose to trust."

"You don't have to do anything else, just stand on the court and go all out regardless of the result. This is what I want to see you do."

"Serge, don't let me down."

Marc Gasol and James Harden walked out of the door and saw Ibaka walking out of Yes's room.

Seeing Ibaka standing at the door of Yes with his fists clenched tightly, Marc Gasol and James Harden wanted to say hello, but in the end they couldn't say anything.

The two saw Ibaka bow deeply in front of the door, gritted his teeth and left without looking back.

Seeing Ibaka's originally confused back become extremely firm, Harden and Gasol looked at each other in surprise.

April 14, 2009, Dallas American Airlines Arena.

When the game between the Mavericks and the Rockets ended, when the score on the scene read 101 to 106, the press box in the entire arena exploded after a moment of silence!

James, who had been standing in front of the TV, also breathed a sigh of relief.

"What a guy who doesn't know the current situation!"

James cursed Nowitzki and Afflalo, who had given their all in this game.

But trash is trash after all!

So what if you gave your all!

It's different, but it still set up a perfect stage for me!

The wheel of history will not change because of the little people's efforts!

Looking at the Western Conference record table on TV, James' eyes exuded an incredible and fascinating light!
