Chapter 993: The Team Favored by God!
"The Milwaukee Bucks are too weak right now. They can't get to 58 even if they let loose. They have to force us to hit 67. It's uncomfortable!"
"Haha, Milwaukee's strength and defense are indeed bad, but that rookie Jennings is very good, his strength is still rough, but with that fierceness, he is a super material!"
On the plane from Milwaukee to Seattle, the Seattle SuperSonics players were excitedly discussing the game against the Bucks.
This victory against the Bucks was the Sonics' 33rd consecutive victory. Although it is now only tied with the Lakers' winning streak, it is still very exciting for the Sonics.
After the victory in this game, reporters and public opinion outside were hyping up the next game between the SuperSonics and the Heat, trying to create some urgency and tension for the SuperSonics players.
This cannot be said to mean that these reporters are on the side of the Heat.
In fact, it was the last Christmas game between the Heat and the SuperSonics. The game was indeed played to the satisfaction of these reporters.
In the Christmas Day game between the SuperSonics and the Heat, the gossip outside the court was much more exciting than the game itself.
James created the public opinion that James would join the SuperSonics after this season. That was really a show-stealing incident.
Now, public opinion about James joining the SuperSonics next season has completely disappeared.
The Heat have become so powerful after grabbing Garnett and Pierce.
If James still wants to go to the SuperSonics next season, apart from the incredible deep friendship between him and Yes, it can only be because of his IQ.
So for the game between the SuperSonics and the Heat on January 5, these media reporters are hyping it up as if it were a Christmas Day game.
However, the SuperSonics players seem to have had limited impact on the hype from these media reporters.
For the Sonics players, it seems that playing against the Heat, a powerful enemy, in the next game is not as important as beating the Bucks in the game against the Bucks.
This is not to say that Seattle SuperSonics players have no pursuits and are addicted to abuse.
On the contrary, it is precisely because the Sonics players are very pursuing this season that they are obsessed with beating their opponents 58 times.
Many media reporters have actually discovered this season,
In all the SuperSonics games this season, the scores have been very, very high.
This season, except for the game between the Sonics and the Magic, Rondo beat the Magic, and the score in that game was not very big.
Almost all of the SuperSonics' games this season are 140 points, 150 points, or even 160 points. In the last game against the Bucks, they scored 177 points, almost 180 points.
In addition to the fact that after Yes took charge of the team's ball control, the team's offensive rhythm became very fast, there were more offensive rounds, and the players' efficiency was also higher.
The more reason is that other Sonics players, especially the rotation players, worked too hard in the game.
James Harden, Gasol and other rotation players have gone all out when they played this season, whether it was rotation time or time with the main team.
I don't care about things like preserving my physical strength.
The fact that the Sonics rotate at least ten players in every game also supports the Sonics' starting players and rotation players to be able to play every minute without considering factors of physical strength and physical fatigue.
Even during this consecutive road trip in the Eastern Conference, the SuperSonics players only felt mentally exhausted and did not feel any physical problems.
According to technical statistics, the player with the most playing time for the Seattle SuperSonics this season is Yes, with an average of 34 minutes per game.
Except for Yeez, the only Seattle SuperSonics players who played more than 30 minutes were Rondo's 32 minutes and Durant's 31 minutes. Even Millsap and Milicic averaged only 28 minutes per game this season. .
This kind of playing time for the Sonics' main players this season is actually rare in the NBA. After all, Milicic and Millsap are really not ordinary role players.
It is precisely because of this timing.
Even though it's already the middle of the season, and even though the Sonics have just played an away game on Christmas and New Year's Day, everyone's physical condition still looks very good.
The offensive pace has accelerated, and the ten-man rotation can make every Sonics player full of energy and go all out on the court. In addition, the strength of each Sonics player is indeed outstanding.
This allows all of the Sonics' opponents this season to feel that the Sonics are able to release their strongest strength and pressure every second on the court.
When facing the SuperSonics, don't think that if you surrender on the bench or in the rotation, the SuperSonics players will let you go.
This season, in the eyes of Sonics players, there is nothing to let go or let go.
Why surrender the gun but not kill? It will be easier for me to brush up the data if you surrender!
This season, as more and more players in the Sonics feel that they have become stronger, they no longer just feel like they are just a role player.
The core and boss of the team, they don't even think about it, this is Yes.
However, you, Durant, can become FMVP and All-Star starter, why can't Ibaka pursue honors? I'm not as good as you, but I can't be that far behind, right? Everyone is a teammate of Yes. As a teammate of Yes, if you don’t pursue the honor of the NBA, what’s the difference between being a salty fish?
Ibaka is not the only one who has this mentality towards Durant.
Gasol also has this mentality towards Millsap and Milicic. Maybe I can't shake your starting lineup, but I can also have my own pursuits in my role, and I play a lot of playing time, so it's not without opportunities. .
Both Ibaka and Gasol are like this. As the team's sixth man, James Harden is naturally even more responsible.
Rondo is going to win the scoring title this season, and I, James Harden, don’t ask too much. I’ll accept the best sixth man first. If I can go to the rookie game and win an MVP, if I have the chance, I can sneak it in at the end of the season. Stealing an All-NBA team would be even better.
Fifty-eight!
For these Sonics players, it's definitely more than just humiliating their opponents.
In fact, what is more important is to create an environment for yourself where you can legitimately brush data.
Without the gimmick of fifty-eight, media reporters would not recognize their data so much.
The SuperSonics have a very good record in the regular season this season. Even when the whole world is looking down on the SuperSonics, the SuperSonics players feel that their team's record will not be bad.
In this case, the record will not be bad, and it is a righteous team with high exposure. It will naturally have an advantage in obtaining honors. If you don't brush the data at this time, it will really be a waste!
Life is all about fame and fortune.
They don’t have to worry about profit, fame is earned by oneself!
Only if their own data is good enough can they get enough fame.
As for the thoughts of these Sonics players, Ye Si has no idea.
Players' ambitions are directly proportional to their abilities.
When their abilities rise, their ambitions will naturally rise as well.
This has nothing to do with whether you obey him or not. Even if these teammates respect him and are willing to stay by his side, they still have desires and needs.
This is why Yeos is willing to share the FMVP with Durant, putting Durant and Rondo on the road to competing for the MVP.
Ye Si has always known that being moved can make them work for him, but in addition to being moved, it is equally important to give them what they want. This is sustainable.
When their abilities reach what level, Ye Si will give them what kind of honor.
When he was interviewed by reporters before, he was not joking.
Right now, the SuperSonics only have two MVP-level players in Durant and Rondo. If there is a third or fourth player in the future, Yeos will continue to push them out.
This is what they deserve.
Ye Si didn't want to see those teammates who worked hard for him to break their legs. In the end, except for Yes' teammates, they would get nothing practical.
Yeas doesn't want the tragedies of Jordan and Pippen to happen to him and his teammates in the future.
Since Durant won the Finals MVP, Pippen has become more and more ‘understanding’ of Jordan on TV.
'No one knows Jordan better than me' has become Pippen's mantra.
Yes doesn’t want Rondo, Durant or other Sonics players to go on TV and say, ‘No one knows Yes better than me’ twenty years from now.
Pippen felt that what he got with Jordan was not worthy of his abilities.
Ye Si hopes that even if he can't give his teammates more than they deserve, he still needs to give them what they can match.
Of course, it's important that his teammates push for what they want.
But his teammates' own ambitions and pursuits are also important.
Therefore, Ye Si is optimistic and watching his teammates brush up statistics around him.
What's more, isn't he also collecting triple-doubles this season in order to complete the final task?
In order to achieve a triple-double this season, he did not dare to show his full strength in every game.
Using all your strength means losing control of the data.
When you go all out to score in a game, it's hard to control whether you can get a triple-double.
With Ye Si's strong recommendation and the efforts of these teammates, not to mention the honor at the end of the season, so far, the honors in the hands of his teammates are good.
He and Rondo won all the best-of-the-month awards since the start of the season.
In the NBA's December Best of the Month, which was just released tonight, Yee and Rondo are still tied for the Western Conference's Best of the Month, but there is one more person among the tied people, and that is Durant.
Durant's ability to bite the score in these two focus games between the Grizzlies and the Heat has made people face up to his status in the SuperSonics this season.
Durant's points per game this season are much higher than Rondo's. Rondo now averages almost 9 points more than Durant, but their status in the team is indeed equally important.
Especially when facing a strong team, Ye Si indulges in a triple-double. Without Durant to bite the score, what can the team do to support Rondo to explode, and what can they use to win a strong dialogue game? If a strong team You can't win a game with strong dialogue, and Ye Si doesn't have a valid reason to convince himself to increase the data.
If Yeez can really complete the triple-double task of surpassing Oscar Robertson this season, Durant and Rondo will be his left and right wings guarding him behind him, and they are equally important.
Now more and more media experts are aware of Durant's influence, and league officials are also aware of Durant's role.
So last month, Durant joined Ye Slondo.
In fact, except for Rondo and Durant, Ye's two strongest teammates.
Other Sonics players are now gaining accolades.
This morning, when the results of the third round of NBA All-Star voting were announced.
The front lines of the Western Conference All-Star voting are almost entirely filled with Sonics players.
The first center position is Yao Ming, the second is Milicic, the third is Oden, and Gasol is actually behind Oden, ranking fourth.
For the guard position, the first is Yes, the second is Rondo, even James Harden is ranked fifth, and Sessions has entered the top ten.
As for the forward position, the first one is Durant. Durant's All-Star votes this season are very crazy. Except for Ye Si, the highest number of all players in the NBA so far is higher than Yao Ming.
Durant broke his leg last season for Leafs and the Sonics, and his popularity among Coconut fans and Sonics fans is incredible.
This can be seen from the fact that Durant's sneakers are the only ones with hype value among all NBA stars except for Ye Ye.
Especially those of the Durant generation that Durant wore when he broke his leg. Nowadays, any pair is priced astronomically.
According to the saying that the number one coconut flour on the Internet is not Fifteen but the number two.
"If you like Yes, it's impossible not to like KD. They are one."
Last season, SuperSonics fans and coconut fans wanted to be moved to vote for Durant, but Durant was not available during the regular season.
This season's All-Stars, coconut fans and Sonics fans' enthusiasm for voting for Durant is simply terrifying and incredible.
Durant not only suppressed Yi Jianlian, but also killed him twice!
In addition to Durant and Yi Jianlian, Millsap is the third forward player in the Western Conference All-Stars. And Ibaka, with his miracle of taking James twice and taking three in one round, has not only been called the best defensive player this season. The number of votes has soared. The PPs of Tracy McGrady, Beasley, Gay, Duncan Nowitzki and other strong players have been penetrated by the SuperSonics No. 28. Anthony, who is fourth, now feels like something black and thick is approaching behind him. Already...
Because the SuperSonics have an excellent record this season, and they are righteous, and the player statistics are also very good, not only the media's enthusiasm is very high, but the fans' enthusiasm and voting enthusiasm are also very high.
It can be said that this season's Seattle SuperSonics are the darlings of everyone in the world.
A defending champion who has won the championship twice and established himself as the defending champion three times in a row.
A defending champion with thirty-three consecutive wins.
He is actually not the target of the world's malicious attacks, but he is the world's darling.
I have to say it’s really incredible.
Looking at the darkness outside the window, Ye Si sometimes really wanted to say thank you to James.
