Chapter 1,068 Give the World a Surprise!

The entire Seattle SuperSonics team accepted the league's invitation and watched an intense and exciting draft lottery.

After watching it, it has nothing to do with the Seattle SuperSonics players.

The one who really matters is Bradley.

Bradley is truly decadent inside now.

He didn't want to go to Cleveland, but as soon as Cleveland got the No. 1 pick, it announced that Deron Williams, the team's new leader this season, had entered the trade market.

The knight's attitude is very, very obvious.

The No. 1 pick.

Who to choose with this No. 1 pick, there is still a choice, it must be Avery Bradley.

There are three-pointers for three-pointers, passes for passes, offenses for offense, and defense that leaves Deron behind. Avery Bradley is called Yes who is five centimeters shorter!

Except for his different height, he is almost exactly the same as Yes, a smaller version of Yes.

More like Yes than both Rose and Curry, a more pure successor to Yes.

Therefore, on the day the Cavaliers received the No. 1 pick, Cleveland fans went crazy online to follow Avery Bradley.

They have regarded the former boss of the University of Washington as the future boss of their team.

Compared with Avery Bradley, Deron Williams is not at the same level at all.

I have to say that Deron is really miserable. After leaving the Jazz and Sloan, he first went to the Heat, and then was traded to the Cavaliers. Now the Cavaliers are being traded again in order to welcome the new boss in the future.

I don’t know where Deron will be traded next.

In a villa in Cleveland.

Delong's mood is complicated now.

It's not just the Cavaliers fans and Cavaliers management who hate it for being so ruthless.

I also hate my own ruthlessness.

From being treated as nothing by the Heat to being traded by the Cavaliers, Deron realized how kind and tolerant the Jazz and Sloan were to him in the past two years.

In this society where the weak prey on the strong, in this society where the strong are respected, he did not cherish such a harbor that could warm him. Now that he has lost it, he realizes that he regrets it.

However, by the time you regret it, it's already too late.

And the harbor that could shelter him from wind and rain and keep him warm was destroyed by him with his own hands...

The impact of the draft lottery continues to spread in the NBA.

The Cavaliers are preparing to trade Deron.

Chris Paul also applied for a trade to the Thunder, and the Thunder are now forced to sell Chris Paul.

Even after the draft lottery ended, the San Antonio Spurs also reported that they wanted to trade draft picks or other valuable chips for Ginobili or Tony Parker.

Everything is undercurrent.

The Seattle SuperSonics, who are once again on track to prepare for the Western Conference Finals, feel that this matter has nothing to do with them.

However, on May 18, 2010, the day before the Western Conference Finals, Ye Si, who had been paying attention to Rondo recently, still saw that Rondo was a little distracted today.

Although Rondo is usually banging, banging, banging.

But today Rondo's bang-dang-kang-dang is obviously not that crisp.

"Is it related to yesterday's draft lottery?"

“One of the teams that drafted the top six picks yesterday had teams that had previously approached Rondo.”

Ye Si could guess something with just a little thought.

This is easy to understand.

Rondo's current transaction value is very mysterious.

To say that his trade value is high, it is estimated that few people in the entire NBA are willing to provide him with trading chips.

But it is not right to say that his trade value is low. After all, Rondo is the current regular season MVP, the scoring leader, the assist leader, the triple-double leader, a first-team player, and a two-time championship player.

For such a player whose value is difficult to evaluate, ordinary teams will not trade for a supernova or a top-notch All-Star, but neither will a first-round pick in the middle or late stages.

After all, Rondo himself is a first-round pick. Even if his ability is indescribable, he is still better than when he was a rookie, right?

Therefore, even if a team is interested in Rondo, the best bargaining chip for trading Rondo is to use the top six picks in the first round as the main bargaining chip.

At the very least, they appear to be equal.

Of course, it just looks equal.

For Leafs, Rondo's value is not enough even for the No. 1 pick.

However, he is the only one in the world who knows Rondo's value, but Rondo's value is not equal to Rondo's transaction value, so Rondo's true value is much higher than his transaction value.

Therefore, Ye Si is absolutely unwilling to trade Rondo. As long as he trades Rondo, it will be an undervalued transaction that will suffer a loss for him.

Even if Rondo could complete so many tasks with super luxurious rewards and improve his own strength if Rondo left, he would not want Rondo to leave.

Rondo is a great fit with his talent that I can see in his hands.

It's just obvious that although Rondo had decided to leave before, there was still a trace of reluctance in his heart. This reluctance made him hope that the team willing to trade him would have no bargaining chips. In the end, he had no choice but to continue to stay in the Super League. speed of sound.

But after this draft lottery, the team willing to accept him got the top six picks.

In other words, Rondo didn't even have the last reason to convince him to stay.

"Is it the Spurs?"

The top six teams drawn this year are the No. 1 Cavaliers, No. 2 Clippers, No. 3 Kings, No. 4 Hornets, No. 5 Spurs, and No. 6 76ers.

In fact, it's definitely impossible, and neither is the Clippers. Although the Clippers have Westbrook and don't need John Wall, trading this pick is also extremely valuable. The Kings have Evans, and the Hornets, Jordan definitely doesn't like Long. Many, the 76ers have Iverson, and the whole team is playing with Iverson. It seems that only the Spurs are there.

How did the Spurs figure out that Rondo was very strong?

So much so that if you decide to remove Rondo early, you have to do so without fearing the risk of being punished by the league?

It turns out that what Popovich said about making Rondo the captain and leader of the Dream Team was not because this old yin B was playing tricks on the Chinese team, but because he really valued Rondo?

You must know that the head coach of the Chinese team, Yunus, has never prepared for the US team led by Rondo. No one on the Chinese team believed Popovich's words. After all, this coach was indeed shady before.

So, where did Popovich know that Rondo is very powerful?

Could Popovich also be able to see Rondo's touch?

Ye Si absolutely does not believe this.

Ye Si still cannot reveal the affairs between Rondo and SuperSonics players.

Now the team can maintain a superficial unity because he doesn't know about it yet.

Fortunately, no one can see the change in Rondo's state except him. After all, Rondo used to be bang-dang-dang.

The clanking was not as clear as before, and no one except Ye Si could hear it.

May 19, 2010, Key Arena, Seattle.

The Seattle SuperSonics and Los Angeles Lakers face off in Game 1 of this season’s Western Conference Finals.

Another confrontation with Kobe.

But this time, Kobe has Nash and Stoudemire next to him.

These three are all old acquaintances of Ye Si.

Therefore, even though the game is about to start, the two teams that are practicing before the game on the court don't have much smoke of gunfire before the battle.

Ye Si could even clearly feel that when all the SuperSonics fans and most of the players at the scene were attracted by Rondo's bang-dang-dang blacksmithing practice before the game, Kobe was always looking at him indifferently. .

Well, Ye Si felt a very strong sense of provocation from Kobe's eyes.

Since he was killed every time he pretended to be 13 in front of him, Kobe actually hasn't pretended to be 13 in front of him for a long time.

This time, Kobe seemed to be unable to hold it in any longer.

"The way Kobe and Yes looked at each other before the game was funny."

“It’s also fun for Lakers players and Sonics players to bet on Rondo’s shooting percentage in practice.”

"They looked less like enemies and more like friends. This didn't feel like a fierce conference finals, but more like a carnival."

"There is no way. These two teams are so familiar that there is almost no secret at all."

"Last season's Western Conference finals were between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Los Angeles Lakers, and this season it's still the same. Although the Los Angeles Lakers introduced Nash and Stoudemire this season, Stoudemire and Nash were as familiar with the Seattle SuperSonics when they were in the Suns. Even Nash and Stoudemire have always called Yes 'the great teacher'."

"It's hard to find two teams like the SuperSonics and Lakers in the NBA. They are obviously each other's biggest enemies. They met in two consecutive conference finals, but they don't have the slightest air of mortal enemies."

"Not only do they not have it, but their players don't have it either."

"Maybe it's because the results of this series are not that complicated, hahahaha."

As the TNT commentators for this game, Barkley, Kenny Smith and many expert media felt that this series was a series with visible results.

Given the current understanding between the SuperSonics and the Lakers, it will be difficult for the Los Angeles Lakers to win this series.

"The Los Angeles Lakers have a great chance of winning against any team in the league, but facing the Seattle SuperSonics, they have almost no hope."

The Lakers are dead!

This is what experts and fans think and predict about this series before the game.

Even Lakers fans agree with this result.

The comparison of strength between these two teams is really easy to judge.

It is for this reason that there was no bitterness between the fans of the two teams before the game.

Lakers fans are not stupid. They clearly know that there is no hope for this series, but they still sent their faces to be beaten in front of SuperSonics fans.

All in all, this series is a process in the eyes of many people. The only suspense is whether the Los Angeles Lakers can break the Seattle SuperSonics' unbeaten streak this season!

but……

"No matter what the outcome of this series is, the winner of this game must be the Los Angeles Lakers."

These are the exact words of the Lakers' head player, Kobe Bryant, in an interview before the game.

When Kobe said this, the expression on his face was quite relaxed and confident.

The reporters below burst into laughter when they heard what Kobe said. Even the media reporters in Los Angeles thought Kobe was joking with them, but the expression on Kobe's face was quite serious.

"Yes, I'm not kidding."

After the pre-match warm-up training of the two teams ended, the starting players of both sides also stood on the court.

Ye Si has kept his head down since he stood on the court.

This is his habit. In every game, he looks forward to what kind of feel he will lock in after the game starts.

I'm just stubborn about Kobe's talent. It's really an addictive talent.

Ye Si is not a gambling dog, but this kind of slight gambling does have an addictive magic.

And just when Ye Si wanted to know how much he felt locked in this game as usual, Kobe's voice came to his ears.

Looking up, Kobe was looking at him with a smile.

"Yes, I said before the game that I will be the winner in the end. Do you think I can succeed this time?"

Pretending to be 13 in front of Yes is indeed a very difficult thing.

In the entire history of the NBA, there are only a handful of people who can pretend to be 13 in front of Yes and then run successfully.

This time, he was going to be one of the few.

Ever since he found that wonderful feeling with Ye Si's reminder, Kobe's self-confidence has been at an all-time high.

In order to give Yes a surprise, he has been holding it back!

In this game, I finally don’t have to hold it in anymore.

Seeing the confident smile on Kobe's face, Ye Si was slightly stunned.

Could it be...

Did Kobe really capture that mysterious and mysterious feeling without the help of the system?

Did he develop his talent to the second level?

Seeing the surprised and shocked expression on Ye Si's face, Kobe was very satisfied.

After holding it in for so long, what he was waiting for was to see such an expression on Yes's face.

"Yes, I really want to thank you."

"This time, you will see a completely different Kobe Bryant!"

"A Kobe Bryant who will never hold anything back, the strongest Kobe Bryant!"

"I will surprise you and the world with this game!"

Kobe was communicating with Ye Si.

It was so obvious that the audience at the scene, the audience in front of the TV, and the reporters and commentators on the scene all saw it clearly.

"Kobe said this game was going to surprise Yes and the world?"

"What surprise?"

"Are we going to break the playoff scoring record in this game?"

Looking at the excited speculations of the commentators on TV, Jordan in front of the TV was very disdainful.

He has been surpassed by Yes and Anthony in the playoff scoring record, and is now ranked third.

He definitely didn't believe that Kobe, whom he knew so well, could blow up his scoring record in the playoffs!

Um?

Just when Jordan thought of this, when the on-site referee Crawford threw the basketball in his hand high, Jordan saw Ye Si, who was already shocked when he looked at Kobe, and the expression on his face became even more surprised.

100…100…100…100…100…

Looking at Kobe's touch, Ye Si's eyes popped out.

This feeling...

It's definitely not something that can be saved the first time. How long did Kobe hold it in? !

88…88…88…88…88…

Looking at my locking touch in this game, it suddenly became less fragrant.
