Chapter 1,160 The NBA’s No. 1 Mythical Beast!
In this game with the SuperSonics, Arenas was extremely uncomfortable.
As a 31-year-old superstar, Arenas feels that his current skills have reached their peak.
For NBA stars, as long as they are not the kind of stars who rely on physical fitness and athletic talent, before their physical fitness and athletic talent have declined significantly, as they age, their skills will become more and more perfect, and their strength will become stronger and stronger. .
In the past three years, although Ye Si left, Arenas has never slacked off.
In the Eastern Conference, the Wizards he led can be said to have played in the Eastern Conference Finals every year.
In the past three years, the Cavaliers have dominated the Eastern Conference, and the Bulls and Heat in the Eastern Conference are also very strong.
But the team that has been playing the Eastern Conference finals with the Cavaliers in the past three years has always been the Wizards.
Gasol, Tobias Harris, Caron Butler, Joe Johnson, Sun Yue, Blatche...
Even if Arenas's good helper, after Jamison retired, the team led by Arenas was quite effective.
And this fighting power not only comes from the team, but more importantly, the improvement of Arenas' personal strength.
In the past, he was somewhat unstable on the offensive end, but as he gets older, his offensive stability continues to increase.
Although in the past three years, when he met Kobe, he couldn't have the slight advantage he had before, and began to gradually become disadvantaged.
But he knew it wasn't his fault.
He himself is getting stronger and stronger.
It's just because Kobe has become stronger.
And this is why he wanted to challenge Ye Si immediately after Ye Si came back this time.
But!
After being blocked by Antetokounmpo and Leonard, he became angry and wanted to defeat Antetokounmpo and Leonard before challenging Yes.
He actually didn't really want to do a string of fives against the Seattle SuperSonics.
What, a string of five, Uncle Arenas just wants to string Yes!
However, since you little guys came here to die on your own, don’t blame me!
You little guys are so ignorant, then Uncle Arenas will string you together!
You made Uncle Arenas angry!
Then!
He failed to break through Antetokounmpo and Leonard all game long...
In all his years in the NBA, he has really never seen a defensive player like Antetokounmpo!
The height of a center, the strength of a center, and the speed of a guard and the agility of a small forward.
Damn it, although Arenas is incomparable with the athletic talent of defenders such as Yes Rosewall, his speed and explosiveness are relatively good among defenders.
That's it, he couldn't get past Antetokounmpo in one go!
When a 1.91 meter player cannot pass a 2.11 meter player in one go and is caught in a protracted battle with this player, how much of a disadvantage will there be?
Fortunately, his skills are now at an advanced level, and strong shots are also his strong point. Otherwise, he may suffer a big loss in the confrontation with Antetokounmpo and Leonard.
Not only will the team be beaten 50-80 in this game, he himself will also be embarrassed in this game!
Arenas had always felt that he had never cared much about the controversy caused by 2k over the abilities of Leonard and Antetokounmpo.
He is a super giant, and his 2k ability value is 95. He is not at all jealous of the ability values of Leonard or Antetokounmpo, superstars like Guy Mayo.
His eyes were always on Yes.
Even Leonard and Antetokounmpo did not appear in his sight!
But in this game, both Leonard and Antetokounmpo appeared in his arrogant eyes.
"These two boys are incredible!"
After Arenas recovered his shock, he thought secretly in his heart.
this game,
He and Leonard Antetokounmpo were in a stalemate for a whole game, and they never broke apart the defense of Leonard and Antetokounmpo from beginning to end.
In fact, Leonard and Antetokounmpo were quite shocked in this game.
Arenas' personal ability is too strong.
Apart from Leafs, Antetokounmpo has never encountered a defender with such a combination of physical talent, athleticism and skills like Arenas.
If Arenas hadn't been a little less explosive and lateral than he was at his peak, Antetokounmpo felt that he might have lost this game.
When he defended James, he always took half a step to control.
But Arias' strong shooting ability is too strong, and he can't even take half a step. Even if his wingspan is enough to interfere, it is no different from giving Arenas an open shot.
He needs to stick up, but he is a 2.11-meter player after all. Although his speed and explosive power are not weaknesses, his lateral movement is indeed much worse than that of a defender of Arenas' level.
As a defensive back player, he is very easy to worship!
Although it is not that easy for defenders to worship in front of him.
But in this game, Arenas worshiped in front of him at least three times!
Although both he and Leonard blocked Arenas.
But Antetokounmpo can clearly feel it.
Leonard is still 50-50 with Arenas.
And he actually lost.
Of course, facing a super defender with such strength, even if he loses a little, no one will blame him.
Not only did no one blame him, but everyone gave him a thumbs up.
Why?
Because he blocked Arenas, this means that Antetokounmpo can truly defend from position 1 to position 5 on the defensive end!
Antetokounmpo's tactical status in Nelson's five-little tactic is very high.
He is the only player on the team with center height.
In theory, the five players in the five-small tactic need to be able to block the first wave of attacks from the inside players, and then give their teammates the opportunity to help defend against the attack.
Yes, Antetokounmpo, Leonard, James Harden, and Durant have all done this.
Similarly, the five small players must also have the ability to defend powerful defenders one-on-one!
Insiders can flank, but outside players are not so easy to flank.
Therefore, when the five players face outside players, it is best not to let their teammates attack, so that the team's defensive system is intact and without any loopholes.
Arenas is one of the strongest defenders in the league and a representative of the league's strongest perimeter players.
Being able to block Arenas one-on-one means that Antetokounmpo fully meets Nelson's tactical needs.
So after the game against the Wizards, Nelson was the most excited.
Previously, he had always wanted to have a player like Dream Green in his team who could defend from position one to position five.
When the Leafs selected Antetokounmpo with the team's second pick, he was still not satisfied.
But now, he is really satisfied with Antetokounmpo's performance.
His performance in the NBA simply exceeded his expectations.
"Antetokounmpo may be more suitable for my five-little tactics than Dream Green!"
In this game with the Wizards, although the SuperSonics gave the Wizards a score of 58, the two teams were still quite friendly after the game.
On the court, the Seattle SuperSonics play the role of the devil, and the Wizards play the role of the brave. But outside the game, this is not the case. Outside the court, everyone is still friends.
The Wizards are indeed good friends with many Sonics players.
Not to mention the relationship between Yes and Gasol Jr. and Sunyue Arenas. Wizards forward Tobias Harris is also a player who graduated from the University of Washington.
Irving, Tristan Thompson, E.J. Johnson, and Tobias Harris were called the Four Kings of the University of Washington that year.
"Yes, if it hadn't been for that shady Rondo, we definitely wouldn't have been beaten to fifty-eight by you in the end!"
Arenas is like this. Being blocked by young men like Antetokounmpo and Leonard does not make him angry.
But against Rondo...
He really doesn't like it. Damn it, he doesn't like this guy Rondo. He thinks this guy is too shady. It's hard to say whether his strength is good or bad. 2k thinks he has 96 points when paired with Yes's cat bell. ability, but no one in the NBA will really regard him as a 96 player.
This guy's style of play is really too bad. He didn't even try to attack during the whole game. Yes shook the cat bell before attacking with a sneak attack. Damn it, that's so stupid!
And what’s even more doggy?
Ever since the away fans used cat bells to interfere with Rondo when the Sonics were playing away games, SuperSonics home team fans now have a cat bell in their hands!
This is uncomfortable.
Originally, Rondo's offense was so bad that no one knew when this incompetent guy would attack.
Yes' shaking the bell is also a defensive opportunity that can be used as a reference. Although it is too late when you hear the sound of Yes shaking the bell, you can still react.
But now, all the Seattle SuperSonics fans are ringing the bells the whole time when Rondo comes on the court. This is uncomfortable!
Milicic and Millsap, two such strong insiders, appear on the bench. They are a huge threat to the league's bench. There is no rotation lineup that can defend these two players in a 2-on-2 defense. A guy.
We have to add more people. If we can block these two guys with 3 defenses and 2, it is already pretty good.
In addition, Danny Green and Tucker's three-pointers also need to be managed. Although Danny Green is called Zhang Tielin, it is iron compared to his efficiency in the finals, but in the regular season, it is still more than 40% and 30%. The shooting percentage, now Tucker, his three-point shooting percentage is also close to 40%.
Even in this game, Ingles played more games than Tucker, and Ingles had a higher three-point shooting percentage.
Therefore, the Wizards' rotation simply has no way of putting defensive players in front of Rondo, who doesn't attack most of the time, doesn't attack in open spaces, and only attacks when Yes rings the bell.
In the past, when all the Sonics fans in the audience didn't ring the bell, they could still hear the sound of the bell and pounce on Rondo. Whether it had any effect or not, at least it was considered a pounce.
But now, after SuperSonics fans hold a bell like this, Rondo, the sinister man, has become even more sinister!
"Yes, I've never seen such a bad guy like Rondo in the NBA!"
"Is he really a dog? Why can he hear the subtle differences in the sound of a cat bell?!"
Arenas was full of complaints about Rondo after the game.
Not far away, Rondo, who had his ears pricked up, heard Arenas speaking ill of him behind his back. The second master felt very unhappy and wanted to run up to Arenas and "woof, woof, woof" him.
Whether the second master is a dog or not is none of your business!
Believe it or not, the second master can become even more doggy!
Ye Si also found it a bit incredible that the Seattle SuperSonics home fans now all have cat bells in front of them, making the already gloomy Rondo even more gloomy.
He actually didn't expect Rondo to be so adaptable.
It is difficult for ordinary people to get into the role of a pet and do this role so well.
However, Arenas is right. Without Rondo, the Sonics do not have the ability to play 58.
In fact, if it weren't for the almost invincible dominance of Rondo's rotation, he and the Sonics wouldn't be able to install such a big 13.
"Whoever resists will be punished!"
If it weren't for Rondo, this 13 would not be able to pretend to be with the Timberwolves.
It can be said that the 2k official's nickname for Rondo is really good.
The Yin Beast of the Holy Capital, the evil dog of the Kingdom of God, the sixth person of dogs... No, the sixth person of dogs.
In short, whether it is a dog or a dog, anyway, Rondo's current style of play really brings Yin and Dog to the extreme.
As a result, Arenas or the former Gay are definitely not the only ones who want to beat up Rondo among the stars in the league.
Many people want to give Rondo, a bad guy like this, a try.
Ye Si had always thought that when Rondo came up with the 'Flame Red Lip Finger', it was already the ultimate in attracting hatred.
Unexpectedly, he still underestimated Rondo.
Of course, to the opponents, Rondo's style of play is disgusting, but to Leafs and the Sonics, a player who can score 20 points in 20 minutes steadily is great!
Rondo's scoring rarely has explosive performances. Even if he plays 48 minutes, he can only score more than 40 points at most. But similarly, Rondo's scoring is as stable as Durant in a sense.
More than 40 points in 40 minutes, and 20 points in 20 minutes.
This efficiency is simply unbeatable!
At the very least, in the history of the NBA, there has never been a substitute player who averaged 20+5+5 in just 20 minutes per game.
So much so that many people have now shouted the slogan of the No. 1 sixth man in NBA history.
After the game against the Wizards, Arenas complained about Rondo to Yes for a long time, but at the end of the complaint, Arenas' words left Yes with nothing to say.
"Yes, can you give me both Rondo and the cat bell you have?"
"..."
Even if I give you Rondo and the cat bell, you won't be able to use it. Even if it's 2k, Yes's cat bell is an item bound to Yes. Therefore, if you want to get the 2k number one beast '96 Duo', you must have it. Yes, only when your team owns Yes, there will be 'yes' cat bell', the only Rondo-exclusive prop.
"Brother Ye, Gilbert was just joking. Except for you and the Sonics, no one can control this NBA's number one beast, haha."
The first mythical beast of 2k, this is the evaluation of Rondo by 2k fans. According to the setting of 2k, Ye Si can shake the cat bell for five minutes in a game. In these five minutes, after Rondo transforms into '96 Duo', that is Really invincible!
Later, slowly, the number one mythical beast in 2k evolved into the number one mythical beast in the NBA.
However, whether he is the number one mythical beast in the NBA or the number one mythical beast in 2k, Rondo is well-deserved.
Unlike Arenas going to Ye Si to complain about Rondo, the communication between Ye Si and Sun Yue is much more pure.
Mainly about the current situation of Chinese players in the NBA.
Coming back this time, the number of Chinese players in the NBA has not increased, but has even decreased.
Ye Si, Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, Sun Yue, Zhu Fangyu, Wang Shipeng, Chen Jianghua, Jeremy Lin, Zhou Peng, and Ding Jinhui have left the Wizards.
Regarding Ding Jinhui, both Ye Si and Sun Yue were very sorry.
Ding Jinhui participated in the draft together with Zhou Peng and Chen Jianghua. After being selected by the Wizards with the 19th overall pick, Ding Jinhui trained very hard during the four years he spent with the Wizards, whether he was forced by Arenas or voluntarily.
However, his talent is indeed not suitable for the NBA. He cannot play the fourth position in confrontation with his height, and he cannot play the three position due to his agility. His shooting talent is not very good, and he cannot be a shooter. It can be said that there is no one who can find him in the NBA. position.
However, although he has not found his position in the NBA, after returning to the CBA, Ding Jinhui, who has trained in the NBA for four years, is now really strong in the CBA and is also a very powerful all-around forward in Asia.
In fact, this time Ye Si comes back, except for him and Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian and Jeremy Lin, other Chinese players generally have a worse life in the NBA than when he left three years ago.
Sun Yue lost his starting position with the Wizards.
After Zhou Peng gave up on signing with the Magic, he was signed by the national team coach Scott Brooks to the Bulls, also serving as a substitute.
Although Zhu Fangyu and Wang Shipeng have high status in the Bulls, their playing time has become less and less, and they have slowly become mascots.
As for Chen Jianghua, the future star that the New York Knicks once had high hopes for, his status has continued to decline after Irving went to the Knicks. This summer, after the Nets offered a four-year, 60 million contract, the New York Knicks gave up on matching. In the end, From the Knicks to the Nets.
Only Jeremy Lin also left the Knicks, but he went to the Raptors and is now playing like a fish in water with the Raptors.
Although they are both quasi-All-Star players, he came up from the bench, while Chen Jianghua fell from the Star of Hope.
The situations of the two are of course different.
However, although the momentum for Chinese players to develop in the NBA is not as strong as it was three years ago, the momentum three years ago was more illusory.
After the prosperity, it is already very good for these Chinese players to be able to gain a foothold in the NBA with their own abilities.
"As long as the roots here are not broken, the future of Chinese basketball will not be broken."
"Now, although the number of Chinese basketball roots here is smaller, it is also more solid."
After defeating the Wizards and Arenas, the super warrior, the Seattle SuperSonics' magic flame became even more monstrous.
But the NBA's Brave League was not intimidated and even became more excited!
Because, a brave man who is more superior than the Wizards and Arenas has already walked in front of the Seattle SuperSonics.
Dallas Mavericks!
