Chapter 942 The Good Cabbage Is Eaten by the Pig!
On Thursday, October 8, 2009, the Target Center in Minnesota, the game to be held today is the preseason game between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Minnesota Timberwolves.
A simple preseason game has now become the focus of attention in the American sports and basketball circles.
The Target Center can accommodate 20,000 people, and tonight it was packed with more than 25,000 people.
Since the Timberwolves traded Garnett away, they have successively welcomed a group of very outstanding young players such as Gay, Al Jefferson, Yi Jianlian, Randy Foye, and Mayo. The reconstruction of this team has been very successful, and the popularity in Minnesota has also returned to its peak.
The title of the Minnesota Timberwolves' five young players has now become a symbol of the league.
After all, in such a competitive environment as last year, it was really not easy for the Timberwolves to enter the playoffs with a record of 60+. They are so young and have such an excellent record. The last team that could get a record of 60+ at such an age was the Seattle SuperSonics in 2008.
Apart from the Seattle SuperSonics, there is really no one above them.
It can be said that the Timberwolves are very popular now, not only in Minnesota, but also in the United States.
This preseason game between the Timberwolves and the SuperSonics is also the most watched of the 9 preseason games played today, surpassing the Wizards and Grizzlies where Arenas and Tracy McGrady faced off.
In short, the Timberwolves are in good condition now and have received a lot of attention, but no matter how good the situation is, it will not make the Target Center so hot today.
The reason why the Target Center can be like a finals instead of a preseason game is that this game is the first official game that the whole world watched Yes say that he would push Rondo to the top of the scoring list.
"Do you think Yes is just talking?"
"Impossible, Yes is not that kind of person, and if Yes really wants to talk, Rondo is not a fool, he can leave at any time."
"Yes is not that kind of person, I admit, but man, I don't admit that Rondo is not a fool. Rondo is not a fool to believe Yes's words. I said you are Bill Gates' son, do you really believe it?"
"..."
Before the game started, whether it was the coconut powder Supersonics fans or the Timberwolves fans,
or even the media reporters and experts from all over the world, all their eyes were on the Seattle Supersonics.
Not only these people, but even the Timberwolves players were discussing this matter crazily.
Yes's words that Rondo would be the scoring champion next season were too sensational.
The contrast was too strong.
Rondo is one of the most recognized offensive players in the NBA. If he can be the scoring champion, the scoring champion will be dragged into the Mariana Trench by Rondo!
If Rondo can get the scoring champion, Gay feels that he is willing to get breast augmentation and hip padding after the stacking, let alone cutting D, if Yes is willing!
Teammates were discussing the topic of Yes, Rondo and the scoring champion crazily, while Yi Jianlian was just listening on the side. Now the whole league was watching the excitement and jokes of Brother Ye.
He didn't know why Brother Ye wanted to use such a promise to force Rondo to stay.
Rondo was valuable to the Supersonics. His ball handling, passing and defensive running were excellent, but that was all. It was not worth it for Brother Ye to sacrifice a season to help him win the scoring champion that he would definitely not win.
Brother Ye's passing and organizing abilities were very strong, but could they really be that strong?
Assisting an offensive idiot to become the scoring champion?
Many people said that Brother Ye was destroying his own reputation.
As the first ball-handling master respected by even Nash, Brother Ye didn't need to prove anything at all, but now many black fans are already making a fuss. If Brother Ye can't organize Rondo to become the scoring champion, then he is the first organizing master who is not worthy of the name.
It's as ridiculous as saying that Brother Ye can't be called the first player in Chinese history if he doesn't prove himself in the CBA.
In short, no matter what, Yi Jianlian felt that Ye Ge's support for Rondo at the press conference was somewhat unnecessary. Rondo can leave if he wants to. He has value, but not so important. He does not have the value that requires Ye Ge to put everything on his back.
But the matter is done. Now the whole world is waiting to see the joke of Ye Ge and Rondo.
And the game between the Timberwolves and the Supersonics is the beginning of this joke.
If Ye Ge really showed his intention to assist Rondo to become the scoring champion in this game, they would laugh.
If there is no such intention, they will also laugh.
In short, Ye Ge has put himself in a place where he is bound to lose.
Yi Jianlian thought of this and sighed.
The Timberwolves were one of the nemesis teams of the Seattle Supersonics last season.
The Timberwolves' tactical system with Yi Jianlian as the core is the league's strongest tactical system to catch the opponent's weaknesses.
The scene of the Timberwolves staring at Ibaka and beating him last season was really a nightmare for many Supersonics fans and coconut powder fans.
Of course, it was a pity for the Timberwolves players not to see Ibaka in the Sonics' starting lineup, but this game was not the time to feel sorry for Ibaka.
This game was a time to watch Yes and Rondo!
"I want to see how Yes assists you to become the scoring champion!"
Rudy Gay even beeped twice mockingly in Rondo's ear when he came on the court.
To be fair, the scoring champion is also his goal and dream.
But he is well aware of the distance between him and the scoring champion.
Without Yes, even if he is much stronger than Durant, there is no way he can forcefully win the scoring title like Durant.
After all, he can't bear the pressure of being criticized wildly by the media for scoring 20 points per game.
Yes is very powerful and can force the rookie Durant to become the scoring champion.
But this guy is Rondo!
Rondo was unhappy with being looked down upon by Rudy Gay.
Damn Lu Xiaoba, if you look at the second master like this again, believe it or not, the second master will shoot you to death today!
"There have been rumors in the past few days that Yes has been creating opportunities for Rondo during the SuperSonics' team practice. Yes seems to be serious."
"Whether it's serious or not will be revealed after this game."
In the press box of the Target Center, many reporters were whispering.
But Chinese reporters like Wang Han don’t have to guess at all.
Because the rumors are true.
They watched Rondo's blacksmithing feast during those practice games.
It’s simply too horrible to look at!
Ye Siduo's wonderful passes finally turned into Rondo's iron.
I saw many Chinese reporters on the sidelines wanting to go up and eat the ball.
In this game between the Sonics and the Timberwolves, they have no other requirements.
They only have one request, that is, Ye Si must not continue to be as stubborn as before.
Rondo's offensive ability is really not something that can be modified by manpower, really not!
The Chinese reporters in the press box on the sidelines were praying, praying for a miracle to happen.
The more people know Ye Si and his character, they all know that the possibility of such a miracle is very, very rare.
Ye Si is the kind of person who will definitely do something once he has decided on it. He is so stubborn that it is hard to imagine.
At the beginning of the game, Milicic defeated Yi Jianlian and gave the Sonics the first wave of possession.
"Yes is really going to take control of the ball!"
Milicic succeeded in picking the ball, but it was not Rondo who had the ball, but Yes.
This is the picture that many Coconut fans and Sonics fans have been dreaming about.
"The strongest Yes will finally appear this season!"
Receive the ball, control the ball, advance, get rid of the defensive players' press and attack intentions under the constant cover of Milicic and Millsap, and carry the ball across the half court gracefully, and then continue to direct and communicate with his teammates. Coordinated with passing and running.
"Yes alone drives up the Seattle SuperSonics' offensive conduction speed!"
"A complex yet concise, beautiful and effective attack!"
"It's a pity that Rondo stayed on the court!"
"Faced with such beautiful and excellent offensive conduct, most teams will decisively give up their defense against Rondo and concentrate on stifling Yes's offensive organization!"
Popovich is amazing.
Although this is a preseason game, most NBA players and coaches who have no game duties are watching this nationally broadcast preseason game on TV.
Yes's series of transmissions just now really shocked him.
Starting from receiving Milicic's jump ball, Milicic and Milicic made three screens in the backcourt and transferred the ball hand-to-hand.
After halftime, he continued to make three alternating mid-range passes with Durant, Milicic, and Millsap.
On the court, except for Rondo, every Sonics player touches the ball twice in an offense.
The Timberwolves' defense has actually collapsed at this time. If the person standing outside at this time is not Rondo, but other offensive players.
In fact, the Timberwolves players can only watch in despair and desperately gamble with their own fate.
And now!
Seeing the basketball in Yes's hand finally pass to Rondo's hand, Popovich actually had the illusion that a good cabbage was taken by a pig.
Yes's pass and organization were really the perfect organization and offense in his mind.
The ball is played at a fast pace, without any stickiness. Even if the Timberwolves want to double-team, they can't find a chance. The pass and control are too fast, and the quality of the screen is too high!
In fact, it was not just Popovich who felt it was a pity. When the basketball appeared in Rondo's hands, many professionals, especially players, felt pity.
"The Timberwolves really didn't intend to let Rondo go this time, but their defense can only withstand the great teacher's organization with five defenses and four defenses. Therefore, even if Rondo is standing in this position, even Bryant, The Timberwolves can only let go!"
After Nash finished speaking, Kobe nodded without any hesitation.
He agreed with Nash's assessment of the offense.
Yes's organization and rhythm this time are so good.
With such fast-paced passing and running control, I am afraid that only Yes in the entire history of the NBA can achieve such accuracy and no mistakes.
Although the Timberwolves' defense is not top-notch in the league, the defense of most of the 30 teams in the league is actually not as good as the Timberwolves.
"If I play in such an environment, I can easily and efficiently average 40+ per game!"
Kobe was really not kidding.
Although he was tricked by Yes's snake-laying tactics, soon after the Timberwolves and Gay tried to trick him again, he scored more than 60 points in three quarters.
With the defensive intensity Rondo is facing now, he can score more than 60 points in three quarters.
He is really modest to say that he averages 40+ points per game this season.
"So I have always said that not being able to be teammates with Big Sensei is my biggest regret."
Just as Stoudemire finished speaking emotionally, a clang came from the TV, which shocked the Lakers.
The whole space was silent for a long time in this clang, without any sound.
Such an opportunity, such a beautiful organization by Yes just now, such a crisp iron shot, it is really a crime against Yes and basketball!
"Why didn't I elbow Rondo at the beginning?!"
Artest now wants to get into the TV to kill Rondo who didn't hesitate to shoot just now.
"This kid is simply humiliating a work of art!"
Phil Jackson is heartbroken.
This offense, before Rondo shot, all the offensive links of the Supersonics were perfect under Yes's organization.
The perfect organization in the eyes of the coach is gorgeous, precise and deadly, which is the coach's favorite.
It is also a perfect organization in the eyes of fans, with a fast pace, chic, and pleasing offensive routines. It is intoxicating, and fans certainly like it.
It is also a perfect organization in the eyes of players, because this organization creates a perfect offensive space for players, and no player will dislike such an organization.
This is also the reason why the Lakers came to their senses at this time. It is so regrettable. Rondo is simply blaspheming basketball. If he hits this time, the Sonics' offense will definitely be the first of the top ten balls in all preseason games!
"This kid is simply a mudslide in the basketball world!"
After watching the normal game, Phil Jackson felt that his heart was blocked.
The victory or defeat of a preseason game does not matter, and the data does not matter.
But as long as you watch this game, watch Yes's organization against the Sonics in this game, the ultimate technology, the ultimate basketball IQ, and the ultimate physical talent of speed and explosiveness, when all of these are done to the extreme and integrated, it is a visual feast!
A visual feast that should have belonged to the strongest Yes, but in the end it was turned into an auditory feast by Rondo!
"Great, great..."
In the Heat's meeting room, Ben Gordon even subconsciously shouted out such a heartfelt evaluation.
In the Heat, you can never admit that Yes is great.
But at this time, both Wade and James ignored Ben Gordon's unintentional sigh.
"Is this the strongest Yes? Yes who controls the ball?"
James, who has always been known as the little magician, kept flickering.
Seeing James like this, Wade was very worried.
"No kidding, I feel that if I am on the same team with Yes, I might be the scoring champion..."
Chandler's words stimulated James, who was already very stimulated, and also earned a fierce glare from Wade.
Faced with Wade's glare, Chandler closed his mouth, but he didn't change his mind in his heart.
As for the organizational ability shown by Yes in this game and the opportunities created for Rondo, Rondo is not good, but he is really good!
It doesn't matter what Chandler thinks in his heart. Wade doesn't want to see anyone say good things about Yes to stimulate LeBron.
"Hmph, even if Yes's organizational ability can make anyone in the league a scoring champion, it's impossible to make Rondo a scoring champion!"
Wade's words were still recognized by the Heat, and James also recovered from the stimulation.
Yes must be very painful in his heart that so many good cabbages he cultivated were taken away by the same pig?
No matter how strong the strength is, if you meet teammates who can never be brought up, it's all over!
Thinking of this, James, who was hit hard just now, finally regained all his confidence.
Strong strength is certainly important, but more important is strong choice!
This year still belongs to me!
"Rajon, I want to beat you up!"
Beat me!
I want to beat myself up!
Who the hell stole my shooting bag, you come back!
I'm tired...
