Chapter 856 This Match Is a Sure Win!

"3-0?"

"Yes, it's really 3-0!"

On April 23, 2009, the San Antonio Spurs defeated the Supersonics on the road, making the series 3-0. The whole world seemed to be in a boiling state!

"Yes, who can create miracles against any powerful opponent!"

"Yes, who can bring light to the team in any desperate moment!"

"Now miracles are powerless, and we are in darkness?!"

The three NBA playoffs on April 23 were all very exciting.

Not only the game between the Supersonics and the Spurs, but also the games between the Pistons and the Heat, and the Celtics and the Bulls were all very exciting.

But on April 24, the whole world seemed to have only the news about the Supersonics and Yes.

Overwhelming shock, overwhelming attention, and overwhelming surprise!

"Yes was really screwed by his teammates this time. Phil said that if he was in the Lakers, the Lakers could beat the Spurs 3-0."

In the Lakers' training hall, Kobe sighed.

Yes's performance in this series was really outstanding. In the regular season of this season, Bowen, who made him very uncomfortable, was beaten by Yes in three consecutive games, and he was beaten by Yes in three consecutive games with different means.

Yes scored 40+ points in all three games, and his hit rate was more than 45%.

But such performance could not make up for the overall strength gap between the Supersonics and the Spurs.

Although he didn't like Phil Jackson's direct words, he recognized Phil's statement on this matter.

"3-0, sweep, I didn't expect this kid to have such a day. He must be feeling very uncomfortable now, right?"

Haha.

"Yes was beaten 3-0 again..."

In Minnesota, when the whole world was shocked by the 3-0 defeat of the Supersonics by the Spurs, the Nuggets players who were visiting Minnesota really had a sense of déjà vu.

"This time is still very different from the one we had last year."

"Last year, Yes had the awakened Durant by his side."

"And the Spurs have Bowen, the best Bowen in the league's history in defending Yes."

"Although Yes exploded Bowen in three consecutive games, Bowen did not let Yes play the most magical game. As a player who has never scored less than 30 points in the playoffs, he scored more than 40 points in three consecutive games. Although he is also very strong, he is not that strong. At least, he is not strong enough to lead the Supersonics who lost Durant to beat the Spurs."

"It seems that we can't take revenge on the Supersonics in the playoffs this year."

Listening to these words from his teammates, Anthony's face was full of worry.

The topic of the entire NBA today is that Yes's Supersonics was beaten 3-0 by the Spurs.

Of course, he knew that his teammates were very, very correct in saying this.

Yes and the Supersonics will probably only be able to beat the Spurs this year.

In fact, before the start of this series between the Supersonics and the Spurs, he and most people in the world had the same prediction, which was 4-0!

However, when this 4-0 really came, it was still a little hard for him to accept.

This year, his brother and himself have been really unlucky.

Chris didn't make the playoffs and was injured in order to get a quadruple-double.

LeBron and Dwyane are still fighting internally, and it is unknown whether they can get past Allen.

And Yes, Yes is even worse!

They are going to be swept!

The defending champions were swept!

And they were swept out in the first round.

If this really happened, it would be a huge shame.

Although the Supersonics' hard power this season is not that strong, and people even feel a little weak, the Supersonics are also the true defending champions!

Otherwise, after Yes and the Supersonics were beaten 3-0, why did it cause such a big impact in the world?

Although the Sonics were swept and defeated, it was not Yes's fault. Now the mainstream voice in the world is that Yes tried his best, but he just couldn't lead the team.

If Jordan were put in the current Sonics, he would also kneel down.

And he would definitely kneel down more miserably than Yes.

This is what Pippen said, but it has been recognized by the whole world.

This is not an excuse for Yes.

As a die-hard coconut fan, Pippen's words are definitely to excuse Yes, but this statement itself is very reasonable.

It's just...

No matter how reasonable it is, no matter how understandable it is.

Pippen's last sentence is very right.

"Durant is injured and can't come back, Ibaka is too nervous in the playoffs, and the overall strength of the Sonics is insufficient. These are objective facts, but the Sonics are the defending champions, and this is also a fact. The defending champions were swept out in the first round. As the head of the team, even if he has no responsibility, he will be the biggest person responsible."

I hope Yes can get over this blow.

Anthony thought about it, and suddenly his face became very bad.

"Fuck you, take care of yourself first!"

"The Timberwolves are already leading 2-1. If you lose today, you will be eliminated in the first round!"

This is the New York Times!

This is USA Today!

This is the Washington Post!

This is the Chicago Tribune!

Hahahaha!

All the newspapers in the United States that have a little influence are paying attention to this matter at this time!

This time, Yes is finally going to be defeated!

In a large villa in Chicago, a fat middle-aged black man is dancing with a pile of newspapers.

There is no doubt that this day is the most satisfying day of his life after retirement!

After three years of holding back, he can finally let out his anger.

"We are already considering the next opponent."

Looking at this joke Popovich said in the newspaper interview, Jordan likes it the most.

How much sincerity is said in the name of a joke?

He can understand Popovich's frustration in the face of Yes for all these years!

"This old guy finally got his head held high!"

The fat middle-aged man was very happy.

"The defending champion was swept out in the first round!"

"What strength has been surpassed, the historical status is being surpassed, this uncle has never been swept out in the first round of the defending champion!"

The Supersonics lost the first game at home, and lost all the previous three games.

This made the whole world fall into madness on this day.

Some people were happy, some were worried, some were excited, and some were sad.

As the person involved, Yes was very calm. Because Yes was calm, the players of the Supersonics did not panic.

"In this playoffs, Yes has never put pressure on us. He has been facing the results of the Spurs game very calmly. Now we can't put any pressure on Yes."

"You don't remind us that we know that we will go all out in every game, and win or lose depends on luck. We must not take it for granted that Yes must lead us to win. Yes has no responsibility or obligation to save us all the time, and lead us forward with injuries all over his body!"

"That's right, what we need to do is, when Yes needs us, even if we don't have the strength to stand up, we must fall in front of Yes first!"

After the third game between the Supersonics and the Spurs, the "trash" of the Supersonics Trash Club held a general meeting temporarily.

Except for Durant and Harden, who are not members of the Trash Club, and Yes, who didn't know the existence of the Trash Club, all other Supersonics players participated.

As the new players of the Sonics this season, Marc Gasol, Ingles, and Ibaka were shocked by the soul-touching speeches of their teammates at the meeting.

The Garbage Meeting will be held at ordinary times, but it will not be so intense.

Listening to these people's words, Ibaka was the most touched.

Although he never felt that he deserved to be saved by Yes, his performance on the court was indeed the player who deserved to enjoy Yes's salvation.

In these three games, he can be said to be completely blown away by Stephen Jackson.

Originally, in the regular season, he was already very good at facing players like Stephen Jackson who did not have strong singles ability, but in the playoffs, everything seemed to be completely different.

He should have been mature, but he became childish again.

Although his teammates were not really blaming him, he felt that every word his teammates said was reaching his soul.

He also knew that if the person standing in his position at this time was Durant, maybe it would be completely different?

In these three games, the losses were not big. As long as he was a little stronger in this position, it would be absolutely possible to win one or two games, not to mention winning all three games.

In the villa on the other side, all the starting players of the University of Washington who are now preparing to participate in this year's draft appeared in his home.

In fact, after the third game with the Spurs, many people cared about him through various channels.

Yao Ming, Roy, Kobe, O'Neal, Yi Jianlian, Sun Yue, Nick Young, Oden, Afflalo... and so on, many, many people.

"Master, it's already 3-0, why are you still so calm?!"

"Stephen, it's 3-0, not 4-0, it seems that you are more anxious than Yes."

"Klay, it's 3-0, is there a big difference between 3-0 and 4-0? Don't you feel panicked?!"

"Panic..."

Seeing that Curry is now like a grasshopper on a hot pot, Klay Thompson muttered softly.

Of course, he can only mutter softly. If he says it directly, he is afraid that he will be directly "punched" by the angry teammates next to him.

Stephen, Draymond, Spencer, Quincy, each one is more anxious than Yes.

Instead of coming here to comfort Yes.

To be honest, it would be better to go to the nightclub to comfort those young ladies who are worried about Yes.

Damn, that bastard James Harden got there first!

However, the way Yes looked at me seemed to be very admiring?

Is it my illusion?

Of course it is not Klay Thompson's illusion.

Yes really admires Klay Thompson.

Especially his psychological quality.

In the more than 2,000 finals, James played the teammate he hated the most.

Klay definitely played the opponent he hated the most!

He didn't know how many games he thought he was about to complete the task and get out of that infinite hell, but Klay suddenly appeared from the sky.

It can be seen from now that it is definitely not a surprise that Klay has such a psychological quality in 2016.

Although Curry and the young people of the University of Washington are very noisy, and after Tony Roten, Bradley and Leonard brought the younger and more explosive people of Antetokounmpo brothers to come, Yes's villa seemed to explode.

Seeing these little guys helping to study how to fight the enemy, Yes just pretended not to see it and sat on the sofa thinking about the gains of these three games.

In these three games, Yes did not deliberately lose.

Of course, he did not go all out to win.

After all, Durant's recovery takes time. The longer the series between the Supersonics and the Spurs drags on, the more beneficial it will be for the Supersonics and the next round of the series, whether it is the Mavericks or the Grizzlies.

These two teams are completely different from the Spurs.

These two teams are the nemesis teams of the Supersonics. Even if Yes feels that he is much stronger now than before, he cannot guarantee that he can beat these two teams without Durant.

There is even a high probability that he will be defeated by these two teams.

As soon as the team fell behind 3-0, Durant returned to the game again.

Old Nelson was very tempted.

But he was rejected by Yes again.

Without Durant, he can still lead the team to beat the Spurs.

But without Durant, it is difficult for him and his Supersonics to beat the Grizzlies and Mavericks.

So in the next round of the series, no matter what Durant's condition is, Durant must return even if he doesn't want to.

He doesn't look down on the Spurs.

But as long as he wants, the Spurs really can't beat him.

The Spurs have Bowen, and he can adjust Bowen's hit rate infinitely. In these three games, the hit rate is a little more than 45%. If he wants, he can adjust this hit rate to 55%, 65% or even 75%.

With Bowen, he can lose as many points as he wants the Spurs to lose.

It doesn't matter if the Spurs don't have Bowen as an undercover. There is no player in the Spurs team who can play against him one-on-one. If the Spurs let anyone defend him one-on-one, they need Duncan's help defense. As long as Duncan helps him, he can make Duncan lose control of his teammates.

His data may not be so good at that time, but his efficiency will still not be low, but his teammates will be completely different!

Although without Bowen, he can't lose as many points as he wants the Spurs to lose, but he can guarantee that he will beat the Spurs in every game, there is no problem.

What's more, without Bowen, Parker and Ginobili really have no meaning for them to exist.

This is the reality of this series between the Supersonics and the Spurs.

Not only the reality he knows.

The reality Bowen also knows.

So after the Supersonics lost the first game, Bowen had a premonition of what he wanted to do, and he said to him fiercely in every game that he was going to die.

But every time, Bowen did not choose to die.

Because Bowen knew very well that he would have no chance of death.

It should be said that if he died, the Spurs would really be hopeless.

If he doesn't die, there is still a chance to fight back.

Although this old guy seems to be very obedient, he has never believed in a person with such a black heart, and suddenly he became a little sheep that would not resist.

Just like when he faced Bowen in the first season of his career, Bowen was still the "defensive warrior" with a black hand and a black heart. He suffered so much at his hands, but didn't he still play with him for a while and give him a fatal blow in the end?

In the playoffs, he kicked him directly at the end and finally broke his leg.

This person is very patient.

This guy who looks like a little sheep on the surface may have prepared many seemingly useful moves waiting for him in private.

It's just that because of the losses he has suffered before, he has become more tolerant and will not expose himself until the moment of despair.

Obviously, this time the Spurs 3-0 is a thing that Bowen can't continue to endure no matter what.

Even if he is not ready, he will definitely fight back.

I just don't know which game he will choose to fight back.

Of course, no matter which game it was, no matter how he fought back, it was useless.

"Master, did you listen to the countermeasures we discussed against the Spurs?"

"No."

"..."

Seeing his master so straightforward, Curry almost cried.

Should he be so direct!

"Master, even if you have given up, at least winning one game is much better than a sweep..."

"Master, are you really not worried that this sweep will affect your historical status?"

"No worries."

"..."

"Stephen, Yes's historical status will only affect you Yes fans, not Yes."

"Klay, shut up!"

Before Curry could speak, Avery Bradley and Tony Roten, who were smaller and more irritable, spoke.

"..."

Klay was also desperate, and he was in a wolf's den.

Wouldn't it be nice to be with those gentle ladies?

He had to come here to join in the fun.

On April 25, 2009, the KeyArena was still crowded with people in the game between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Spurs.

After all, Seattle is not Miami, and the fans of Seattle SuperSonics are not comparable to the fans of Miami Heat.

The series between SuperSonics and Spurs is already 0-3, and the elimination of the team is a foregone conclusion.

But for Seattle fans, the players have worked hard enough, and they are willing to send their players away from this stage that no longer belongs to them.

So half an hour before the game between Spurs and SuperSonics started, many reporters and commentators from various countries saw a magical scene.

"Half an hour before the game between SuperSonics and Spurs started, the fans of Seattle SuperSonics were already singing, cheering, and applauding!"

Barkley was very excited.

And Kenny Smith next to him was very disdainful. This was the weak's own touching of himself!

The strong don't need to do these bloody things, just like the Heat beat the Pistons in the third game, everything can be different!

This kind of self-touching of the weak has no other benefits except making oneself look more pitiful.

In the fourth game between SuperSonics and Spurs tonight, there are more fans in the stadium than in the previous game, more spectators, and more reporters and commentators from all over the world.

The fans of the Supersonics wanted to stay with the team and leave together, while the reporters and commentators who liked the excitement really wanted to witness this historic moment of Yes.

"This may be the only time we see Yes being swept in the playoffs!"

"This may also be the only time we see Yes being eliminated in the first round as the defending champion!"

"I really didn't expect that many people predicted that three series would be swept in the first round, but in the end only the Supersonics and Spurs would be swept in this series. The 76ers have already won one game against the Cavaliers, and the Bulls have already won two games against the Celtics!"

The game between the Seattle Supersonics and the Spurs made many people very excited.

The opportunity to witness history is indeed very rare.

Even Popovich in front of the Spurs bench was quite excited when the game was about to start.

Since the Spurs won the first away game against the Supersonics, he has been in a state of excitement for the past two days.

He has been excited since two days ago.

"I don't need you to hold back in this game!"

"Our fans don't need you to hold back until San Antonio eliminates Yes and the SuperSonics!"

"In this game, both I and our fans want a win!"

"What we want is a sweep, a sweep against Yes, the defending champion, and the strongest player in the NBA!"

Duncan had never seen Popovich so excited.

Not only Duncan, but other Spurs players had never seen Popovich so excited.

Seeing Popovich like this, even Duncan wanted to roar like other Spurs fans.

Of course, he definitely didn't roar in the end.

Manu's face flushed from roaring, and the back of his head felt a little hot.

You roar, and I'll use my hands to pass the heat to cheer you on.

Already leading the SuperSonics 3-0, Popovich really felt there was no reason to wait for another game.

Of course, his cautious character still made him prepare for a difficult game in this game.

Old Nelson is not an ordinary coach.

Old Nelson's previous three games left the team's changes to Yes.

Yes led the team's changes.

But the final result was a failure.

Yes tried hard in the three games, but he couldn't lead the team to beat the Spurs.

In this case, based on his understanding of old Nelson, he must have taken action to change the team's style of play.

Old Nelson actually did take action, and he supported Durant's comeback.

But in the end, after Yes rejected Durant's comeback, old Nelson knew that Yes had not given up.

So...

Unlike the tragic cheers and applause of other people who supported the Supersonics at this time, old Nelson sat in his seat with his hands folded across his chest.

Milicic, Millsap, Ibaka, Yes, Rondo!

Looking at the starting lineup of the Supersonics in this game on the court.

He looked at old Nelson sitting on the sidelines with an expressionless face as if he was desperate.

Popovich, who was originally excited, almost shouted out his thoughts directly.

"No changes!"

"Old Nelson is also desperate!"

"This game, stable!"
