Chapter 987: James Shakes His Finger and Trembles in Anger!
The rotation time in the second quarter, according to Spoelstra's setting, is the stage for the team to prepare to catch up.
It is to beat the Sonics all the way until the Sonics actively request a timeout and replace the starting players.
But at this point, the invincible Heat rotation lineup was suppressed so hard by the Sonics, he really didn't expect it.
To be honest, let alone Spoelstra and the Heat fans at the scene, the reporters on the sidelines, and the audience in front of the TV.
Even Yes and other players of the Sonics, including old Nelson, were quite surprised that the rotation players of the Sonics could perform like this.
"Are James and Mark so strong?"
Ingles, who was sitting at the edge of the bench in a suit, had a look of surprise on his face.
James, Mark and Serge, plus him, came to the NBA together and came to the Sonics.
But it has only been a short time, are these three people so strong now?
The four of them came to the team last season, and they were all asked by coach old Nelson to Yes. It can be said that although Yes did not accept them as disciples, the four of them can be regarded as the same master.
Of course, he knew that Mark and James were better than him before.
Although Serge is not as strong as him, his talent is much higher than his.
But in general, everyone is actually from the same world.
But it has only been more than a year, why does it feel that he and his three friends on the court are not from the same world?
Watching James, Mark and Serge beat the group of invincible "league powerhouses" of the Heat on the court, Ingles was excited and happy after being surprised.
You know, these three were taught by Yes.
These three can become masters, and he can also become a master in the future!
As players who were not so good when they entered the NBA, now James Harden, Marc Gasol, Ibaka, Sessions and Tucker have such magical performances on the court, which are simply five living advertisements!
Ingles' eyes are now full of expectations for the future,
and the young players beside him, such as Danny Green and Ty Lawson, are also shining with such expectations.
The three young people who are shining with expectations for the future are all on Yes.
In fact, after the five rotation players of the Supersonics showed such strong strength against the Heat, almost everyone was looking at Yes, who was sitting on the sidelines and applauding the Supersonics players from time to time.
The Heat's rotation players are recognized as the strongest in the league this season, and even one of the strongest ever.
Being blown to pieces from offense to defense, this is simply heaven!
This magical effect is no worse than Rondo winning the scoring title in every game.
"Just now, the back office has compiled a very interesting data. So far this season, if we take the NBA's various rotation lineups separately, Seattle is the NBA's most scoring and best defensive rotation team. The Miami Heat's average points per game during rotation time this season is 38 points, and the average points lost per game is 32 points. The average points per game and the average winning points per game are both second in the league. The Seattle Supersonics, which ranks first, Kenny, do you know the average points per game and the average points lost per game during rotation time for the Seattle Supersonics?"
"The average points per game during rotation time for the Seattle Supersonics this season is 55 points, the average points lost per game is 25 points, and the average net win over opponents is 30 points."
"..."
After Barkley finished speaking, he was still staring at Kenny Smith on the court in surprise as if he had seen some demons and monsters.
Barkley saw the expression on Kenny Smith's face now, and he was not surprised at all.
To be honest, he was also shocked when he saw this data just now.
Rotation time will naturally not only have substitute players, such as Milicic, Millsap, Yes or Durant or Rondo, who may appear in rotation time.
Every team in the NBA is the same. Since everyone is the same, this data is interesting.
In this game, the Heat's rotation players, who are known for their strongest rotation, have a net win of 6 points over their opponents, which is already very strong.
This is also natural. The rotation time of a game will not be very long. Even if there are garbage time in some games, on average, it will not be too long. In perhaps only one-third of the whole game, leading the opponent by 6 points, then the whole game is converted to 18 points, which is of course strong.
The data of the Heat's rotation time is still human data.
The data of the Supersonics' rotation time is really heavenly.
Nima's rotation time scored 55, lost 25, and won the opponent by 30 points.
If this is not heaven, what is it?
That's right, the Supersonics have a lot of garbage time this season, and the entire fourth quarter is rotation time.
The rotation time of the Supersonics is also the first in the league. It is natural that the more rotation time, the more points scored.
But in the same way, the more rotation time, the more points lost.
The Seattle SuperSonics' rotation time is nearly 5 minutes longer than the Heat's, but they lose 7 points less. What does this mean?
The Heat's rotation lineup is not a defensive sieve.
Haslem, Varejao and Rasheed Wallace's defense is absolutely first-class in the rotation lineup.
It can be said that even if this data cannot prove that the Seattle Supersonics' rotation lineup is the best in offense, it definitely proves that the Supersonics' rotation lineup is definitely the best in the NBA in defense, and can even be the best in history!
At the same time, this data also illustrates a fact, that is.
"This season, the Supersonics' rotation lineup has won more points than their main lineup!"
After Barkley analyzed the latest data from TNT backstage, both ordinary viewers and professionals in front of the TV felt that the world was crazy.
"The Supersonics' rotation lineup is going to be amazing this season!"
"Yes's ability to turn waste into treasure is too strong, right?"
"Such a dish was actually cooked into a full banquet by Yes!"
"Brother Fifteen, after this game, you have to update the NBA team value rankings again. I think the value of a player position in the Supersonics can reach more than 8 Mo now!"
The game between the Supersonics and the Heat continued, and the private messages in the backstage of Not Fifteen Is Second had exploded.
But no matter who sent a private message to Not Fifteen Is Second, he did not get a reply from him.
However, these people were not angry.
Because everyone knows that Brother Fifteen likes to watch the game in an immersive way, fully engaged, otherwise he would not write so many immersive game reviews.
In fact, it was not Fifteen but Second Brother who was completely immersed in the game at this time, and his mouth was just like that of ordinary audiences, with a big mouth.
After the Sonics rotation lineup led by James Harden and Gasol opened the score to 10 points, the Heat replaced James with Chalmers to stabilize the situation.
The 10-point difference must be narrowed after the starters of both sides come up.
James opened the score or recovered the score during the rotation time, which is one of the Heat's regular routines.
James is the most stable player in the rotation time to bully the weak, except for Ben Gordon.
Few NBA rotation players can match Ben Gordon's comprehensive offense.
Similarly, few NBA rotation players can match James' breakthrough and his physical talent, not to mention that James now has shooting and comprehensive offense.
It can be said that although James rarely appears in the rotation time, as long as James appears in the rotation time, he will kill all sides!
In fact, after James came on the court, he really looked like he was going to be a killer.
Facing Tucker's close defense, James knew very well that Tucker was a defense that would allow him to break through but not shoot.
After his shooting improved again this season, although the snake-release tactic was still used by many teams against him, they were all rubbish teams that had no players to defend him and could only bet on his touch.
But generally strong teams, teams that have players who can defend him, no longer use the snake-release tactic against him.
Tucker's body is very tough and his defense is indeed very good.
But one-on-one, James felt that he was invincible!
Quickly open up space, rush once, didn't rush through, open up space again, and continue to rush!
One rush!
Two rushes!
Three rushes!
It wasn't until the third tank attack that James rushed Tucker over.
Tucker's defense was shocking.
But there is no doubt that James was even more shocking.
That incredible momentum of overwhelming force will indeed make many people understand why Yes has been so successful, but there are still a group of people who say that James's talent is the best in NBA history.
But the most shocking moment of James's attack was definitely not the moment when James broke through Tucker's defense.
The most shocking moment of this attack was when James faced Marc Gasol's help defense, dodged Gasol's block in the air and made a layup, but was blocked by Ibaka. When James grabbed the rebound in the air and pushed the ball to the basket again...
With a snap!
Ibaka blocked James' layup with his right hand just now, and then blocked James' push with his left hand!
With a bang!
The sound of James falling from the air was particularly harsh in the silence of the world.
One attack, one with his left hand, one with his right hand, two blocks!
James, who fell to the ground, looked at Ibaka as if he had really seen a ghost!
Because...
The basketball blocked by Ibaka's left hand just fell into the hands of Haslem, who was waiting for an opportunity to grab the rebound.
When Haslem jumped high, he thought he could complete this difficult score.
Ibaka, who had just completed two blocks in one round, appeared in front of Haslem who jumped up first, in front of the stunned audience around the world.
Seeing the No. 28 of the Supersonics in front of him, Haslem felt that he should be a strong and resolute person, but his hands still shook.
Snap!
Bang!
James, who fell to the ground, magically saw a teammate who fell to the ground like him next to him...
Looking at the suffocating expression on Haslem's face, James mechanically turned his head and looked at the No. 28 of the Supersonics again.
And the No. 28 Supersonics player was shaking his right index finger at him and Haslem...
Shaking his finger!
This is Mutombo's privilege to shake his finger!
Except for Mutombo, anyone who successfully shakes his or her index finger on the court will be considered a self-inflicted technical foul.
But I don’t know if it was because Ibaka’s three blocks just now were so shocking. The bald referee on duty, Crawford, looked at Ibaka with a dull look on his face and forgot to blow the whistle.
As a person who likes to be in the limelight and a person who is extremely concerned about face, Crawford certainly will not let people think that he was frightened by Ibaka's block.
"No technical foul!"
"Crawford acquiesced to Ibaka's finger-wagging!"
"Ibaka will become the second player in the NBA besides Mutombo to have the privilege of wagging his finger!"
In the United States, the principle of following past precedents permeates all walks of life. After Crawford gave Ibaka this privilege, with Crawford's status, other referees would not embarrass Ibaka on this matter. Baka didn't give Crawford face.
This example this time will allow Ibaka to get the same privileges as Mutombo.
"Haslem and I became the stepping stones for Ibaka to get the privilege of wagging his finger..."
James, who hadn't waited for a technical foul for a long time, was a little nervous.
When the audience around the world recovered from Ibaka's three-block shot miracle, their heads were as fried as James's!
The scene that just happened was too unimaginable.
So unstoppable James was actually blocked by two little people of this level, Gasol and Ibaka!
And among these two little people, Ibaka actually stepped on James in one fell swoop and completed perhaps the most glorious moment of his career!
After the silence came the explosion!
On the court, Ibaka was shaking his index finger crazily.
On the sidelines, on the SuperSonics bench, SuperSonics players were celebrating Ibaka crazily.
On the court, as Ibaka's partner this season, Gasol immediately gave Ibaka a hug and hit Ibaka heavily from behind.
Gasol's body is very strong, but his flexibility and jumping are a big center after all. This is Gasol's weakness. He knows his own weaknesses very well, so having someone like Ibaka can make up for all his shortcomings. partner, that’s really good!
The Sonics' morale was completely ignited by Ibaka's three consecutive blocks.
At AmericanAirlines Arena, there were not many SuperSonics fans, and the entire stadium was almost entirely filled with Heat fans.
But at this moment, the entire American Airlines Arena seemed to be occupied by the Sonics.
In fact, since then, the Sonics have indeed occupied the American Airlines Arena.
Spoelstra really didn't expect that even if James came on the court, he wouldn't be able to stabilize the situation!
Although the point difference did not continue to expand crazily, it was not able to catch up.
And when the first half ended, the score of 74 to 60 was particularly dazzling.
The Heat actually trailed the SuperSonics by 14 points at home!
Whether they are players or fans, everyone in the Heat has anger and discomfort on their faces.
Especially James.
In last season's finals, Durant stepped on him and became famous!
In this Christmas war, he was stepped on by Ibaka again and became famous!
Plus Yes, who had snatched away all his titles and honors before.
Will there be other Sonics players who want to step on him and become famous in the future? !
Is he really so at odds with the Seattle SuperSonics? !
Is it so difficult for him to face the Seattle SuperSonics? !
Wade next to him could feel that James was shaking with anger...
