Before the game between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Chicago Bulls, the Chicago Bulls' collective tribute to the SuperSonics from players to fans was quite shocking.
Such respect from one team to another has never been seen in NBA history.
However, respect is respect, the game really started, but the Chicago Bulls did not give the Sonics any face.
The Chicago Bulls have performed very well in the Eastern Conference this season.
Compared with the Chicago Bulls who barely made it to the playoffs last season, the home Bulls this season have improved even more.
And this improvement is comprehensive.
First of all, as the head player of the Chicago Bulls, Rose's progress this season can be seen with the naked eye.
This season Rose can average 26 points and 8 assists per game, which is a lot better than last season's data.
And Rose is not just improving in statistics this season.
The overall playing style and strength have also improved tremendously.
This season Rose's average three-pointers per game has increased to 6, and his three-point field goal percentage has also increased to 35%.
Although this kind of shooting rate and efficiency are really nothing to a first-line scorer.
But there is no doubt that such a number of shots and such a hit rate can be regarded as a threat.
Rose's current three-point shot is a threat, and it also proves that this young man who has worked hard to be like Ye Si and learn three-pointers since entering the NBA last season is really good at three-pointers. Talented people are not the kind of losers who can't shoot well no matter how hard they try.
Rose's three-point shooting is not that strong now, but as long as there is a threat, Rose's entire strength will change drastically.
Rose's speed and breakthrough physical fitness coupled with his now threatening three-pointers, such personal strength is like a plug-in in the entire Eastern Conference!
Maybe in the west, Ross and this bull may not be as strong,
But in the East, except for the Heat, no other Eastern team can stop Rose.
The Chicago Bulls' current ranking in the Eastern Conference also illustrates this point.
Now the Chicago Bulls are competing with Howard's Magic, Arenas' Wizards and Cavaliers for the second spot in the Eastern Conference.
And because Arenas and Warcraft Howard were more affected by the Heat some time ago, Rose and the Bulls were also desperate but not so affected. After all, they are younger. This also allows the Chicago Bulls to now surpass the Magic and Wizards. ranked second in the Eastern Conference.
Now Yeas and the Sonics have opened the door to everyone's hope again.
And as the Yes of the East, as the SuperSonics of the East, the Chicago Bulls are inspired by this game, which is definitely the biggest.
In this game, the fighting spirit of the Chicago Bulls was quite high.
However, the Bulls' fighting spirit is high, but the way this game is played...
There are indeed some things that people cannot praise.
The Bulls' style of play mainly removes Rose's personal ability.
Through Rose's individual singles or his own offense, or by giving the ball to his teammates to attack.
If personal offense fails, then play a pick-and-roll with Noah and let Noah help Rose attack or help Rose organize.
This kind of routine is really invincible when facing other Eastern Conference teams.
Because the Eastern Conference teams can't defend Rose's individual singles, nor can they defend Rose and Noah's pick-and-roll.
Rose and the Bulls can do whatever they want with them.
But facing the Sonics, Rose and the Bulls' tactics were not that useful.
Yes is the best defender in the entire league on Rose.
Yesi is now almost completely surrounding Ross.
Before Rose fully develops his shooting, he has almost no chance of winning against Leafs.
When the bull's biggest threat point is directly restricted to death.
This team that only relies on singles is naturally almost dead.
Bulls head coach Scott Brooks is a former Seattle assistant coach.
This is a head coach who is very good at developing young people.
Even Rondo can eat his chicken soup for the soul.
In terms of developing players, Scott Brooks did an excellent job with the Bulls and won the best coach last season.
But tactically...
This is really a shortcoming.
It actually makes sense for a coach who is good at cultivating young players to use his own tactics only for players to play in isolation.
Because singles tactics are the most suitable tactics for training young people.
Even someone as strong as Jerry West, when training Beasley, required Beasley to score at least 20 points in every game regardless of his offensive efficiency last season.
This is actually developing Beasley's singles ability.
After a season of offensive training like Jerry West's inhumane training, Beasley's progress has also been very, very great.
Scott Brooks and the Bulls ran into trouble with their one-on-one game in Seattle, but for Scott Brooks and the Bulls, such trouble was to be expected.
The Bulls now look to be competing for second place in the Eastern Conference.
But Scott Brooks and the Bulls know very well that the Bulls are still in the development stage of players.
The main task is not actually winning, but developing players.
And this game against the SuperSonics is one of the two most important games for Rose to improve every season and make Rose feel the gap between himself and the best players.
The Bulls' fighting spirit is not about winning.
But it is to prevent Rose from having any fear when challenging Ye Si!
Scott Brooks and the Bulls hope that Rose can find his way forward in such a game.
Yes, of course, is very clear about his thoughts on Scott Brooks and the Bulls.
Not only is it clear, but it is also very cooperative.
As he often said before, he admired Rose very much.
This is a player with pursuits!
A player with talent and ambition, as long as nothing unexpected happens, his future will be bright!
Ye Si wants to see what kind of future this young man who uses him as a model will have.
Therefore, every time he faced the Bulls, Yes never held back.
He hopes that Rose can see more of his shortcomings.
And in every confrontation, Rose really surprised him.
Basically, in every confrontation, he could see progress and hard work in Rose.
This was completely different from what he saw in Westbrook.
Therefore, under his witness, Rose's shortcomings became less and less.
Shooting, defense, technique, passing...
Rose this season is almost an overall improvement compared to last season.
"It's really not an accident that Stephen was beaten by him in the Christmas battle."
That's how it should be.
After the third quarter, Ye Si thought to himself when he came off the court.
Although Curry is a rookie, Curry's current strength is definitely not comparable to that of an ordinary rookie.
Under his guidance over the past four years, Curry's current strength is among the best among NBA All-Stars.
It can be said that among the opposing point guards, there are no more than three people in the entire NBA who can beat Curry.
Otherwise, do you think Curry’s 180 club average of 20+ per game this season is a joke?
A very interesting smile appeared on Ye Si's face when he thought that his out-of-touch apprentice and this serious young man would fall in love and kill each other in the next ten years or more.
The final result of this game was that the Seattle SuperSonics defeated the Chicago Bulls 146-108 on the road.
The Chicago Bulls gave the SuperSonics a lot of face in this game, so the SuperSonics substitutes led by James Harden did not desperately want to beat the Bulls 58 here.
With the way the Chicago Bulls played in this game, the Sonics would have no problem beating them to 58.
In this game, Yesi scored 20 points, 14 assists and 15 rebounds. After this game, Yesi also completed 35 consecutive games with 20 points and a triple-double.
At the same time, the SuperSonics also won 35 consecutive games.
In addition, Rondo scored 30 points in this game and Durant scored 28 points. Under the control of Ye Si, Rondo still won the scoring champion in this game.
This is also Rondo’s scoring lead in thirty-five consecutive games this season.
Rose on the other side, Rose's 17 points in this game is not very high, but compared to last season, in this game, Rose's rhythm of breakthrough, timing of passing, tacit understanding with teammates and even his influence on the game. His understanding has been greatly improved. Of course, the biggest improvement is his shooting.
So, at the end of this game, both the Sonics and the Bulls got what they wanted.
The Sonics got the win and got the numbers the players wanted.
The Chicago Bulls see hope for the team's future.
Rose didn't reach his limit as quickly as Ben Gordon did.
Rose is still making progress, and his limit seems to be really in space!
After defeating the Chicago Bulls on the road, the Seattle SuperSonics returned to Seattle without stopping.
On January 9, 2010, the Seattle SuperSonics faced the Oklahoma City Thunder, currently sixth in the Western Conference, at home.
The Seattle SuperSonics now have a record of 35 consecutive victories, which is unparalleled in the entire league.
The Thunder, led by Chris Paul, currently have a record of 21 wins and 13 losses.
The Thunder led by Chris Paul have performed very well this season.
This year's Thunder team's two rookies, Griffin and former University of Washington white center prospects Spencer Hawes and Chris Paul, are a perfect fit.
Griffin, a power forward, has the ball-handling and athletic ability from the outside and is very suitable for pick-and-roll situations.
Spencer Hawes's tactical system at the University of Washington is used for Curry's pick-and-roll coverage. More importantly, Spencer not only matches well with Chris Paul, but also matches well with Griffin. Both of them have the ability to support the passing game. Griffin is somewhat of a dominator at the basket, while Spencer is good at shooting. Spencer's three-point shooting rate this season is as high as 40%, which is the highest among all post players in the NBA. One of the highest three-point shooting percentages, and Spencer has this shooting percentage not only because he shoots less. Spencer averages five three-pointers per game.
40% three-point shooting rate, 45% long-range two-point shooting rate, coupled with good finishing and skills inside.
This white center hope, who was able to enter the NBA through the lottery in 2007, now carries the label of white hope, which is no longer a mockery, but a real white hope.
This best partner of Curry, who gave up entering the NBA in 2007 and chose to continue training at the University of Washington, now seems to be really supporting the white center.
Spencer, Griffin and Chris Paul, these three really complement each other in the Thunder now.
Every game against the Thunder is a challenge for the Sonics.
The two teams seem to be destined rivals with each other.
Whether it's the grudge between Yes and Paul, the grudge between Paul and Rondo, or the grudge between the two teams.
When two teams meet together, no matter what the strength gap is, the game will be very fierce.
However, in today's game, the Thunder team led by Chris Paul gave the Leafs and the SuperSonics a somewhat different feeling.
In this game, Chris Paul's mouth didn't seem to be so pouty.
Every time he met the Sonics in the past, Chris Paul would murmur that the whole world owed him something.
It seems like every Sonics player owes him 500 million.
I can't wait to push every Sonics player to the ground and rub him over and over again.
But in this game, Chris Paul actually didn't make Yeos and the Sonics feel the feeling of hating the sky and hating the air.
Even Griffin, the middle school boy who has always been hostile to Ye Si, had a very polite look in his eyes when he looked at Ye Si during this game.
"Isn't this guy Wuba trying to pay tribute to our victory against the Heat in his own way?"
James Harden was a little surprised.
The Sonics players next to him were also thoughtful.
If that's the case, I'm really embarrassed to beat 58 to 58 in this game...
Of course, with the Thunder's strength this season, it's impossible for the SuperSonics to beat them 5-8.
The game between the SuperSonics and the Thunder ended in strange harmony. The SuperSonics defeated the Thunder 145 to 130.
After the loss, Chris Paul did not shake hands or hug any Sonics player. After giving Ye Si a stubborn look, he left with his players.
Paul's attitude towards the Sonics is this. He is friends with the Sonics players, and even Spencer, who is half a disciple and half a younger brother of Ye Si, cannot spend too long chatting with the Sonics.
"It seems that Chris Paul hates James much more than we do now. "
"Yeah, the former Banana Boat Brothers were really embarrassing."
Listening to what his teammates said, Ye Si was also very emotional.
He really didn't expect that the Banana Split brothers who were wearing the same pants four years ago would look like this now.
However, the game against the Thunder also made Leafs and the SuperSonics realize that the victory between the SuperSonics and the Heat brought much more than they imagined.
It's not just teams like Rose and the Bulls who have a good relationship with them.
Even their destined opponent, the Thunder, gave them the highest courtesy they could.
At the same time, the Heat, who are now in the Pacific and visiting Los Angeles, are being treated completely differently...
