Chapter 1,180 The King Who Defeats the Miracle Generation First!
Looking at the league's December Player of the Month announcement, Kobe was really quite resentful.
Throughout November and October, Kobe led the Lakers to a 17-game winning streak, ranking first in the league. His own personal statistics were not bad either, averaging 34 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists per game, shooting 51% from the field, and three-pointers. The shooting rate is 43%. It can be said that this record and this data are qualified to compete for the title of best month in any month in the history of the league.
But this month…
That really can only be caused by helplessness and resentment.
Because he is not competing for a person, he is competing for a team!
"Generation of Miracles!"
After David Stern packed up the six SuperSonics boys, he was simply cheating on these six Sonics boys.
MVP, best of the month, best of the week, you can compete fairly with the ‘Generation of Miracles’.
As long as you can defeat Generation of Miracles, you can win the Best of the Week, Best of the Month, and even MVP!
This is fair enough.
David Stern's meaning is very clear. If you can't beat them, you can only compete with them for record and data.
In terms of record, the Lakers can compete with the SuperSonics. Everyone wins, there is no difference.
But when it comes to data, then...
Kobe feels that his statistics are very good. Taken alone, they can be compared with any of the six players in the Seattle SuperSonics' Generation of Miracles.
Rondo's statistics for the entire month of November were averaging 5.5 rebounds, 1.5 steals per game, shooting 60% from the field, 55% from three-point range, and 53% from the free throw line.
Antetokounmpo's statistics for the entire month of November were 5.4 rebounds, 2 blocks, and 1.5 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of 60% and a three-point shooting percentage of 0%.
James Harden's data for the entire month of November is 21 points, 5.1 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 2 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of 50.5% and a three-point shooting percentage of 40.5%.
Leonard's statistics throughout November were 5 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block per game, with a shooting percentage of 53% and a three-point shooting percentage of 45%.
Durant's statistics for the entire month of November were 5 rebounds, 1.5 steals, and 1.5 blocks per game, with a shooting percentage of 55% and a three-point shooting percentage of 44%.
This is the data of the other five people in the Generation of Miracles. Compared with them, the data of someone in his family must be not bad, or even better, right? !
Even if it’s Yes data…
Yes's data for the entire month of November was 30 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks per game. His shooting percentage was 65% from the field, 55% from the three-point range, and 100% from the free throw line.
If the hit rate is not considered, the data of Coe and Yes can be equally divided, right?
Comparable to everyone in the Sonics.
Even stronger, but when these Sonics are packed up, there is no way!
The six people combined averaged 140 points, 39 rebounds and 34 assists per game!
Damn it, unless he can average 50+ or even 60+ per game throughout December, there is no way he can compare with the Seattle SuperSonics' Generation of Miracles package.
After these six guys were packaged by David Stern, as individuals, it was really difficult to compete.
Therefore, even though he lost to the Generation of Miracles for the Best of the Month this time, Kobe was not unconvinced except for his resentment.
He was actually convinced.
It's also a complete victory, but 58-50 in every game, this is a bit Dior.
Moreover, the Lakers' complete victory and the SuperSonics' complete victory are not at the same level in terms of gold content.
Other teams fight the SuperSonics with all their might, but except for the Warriors and Cavaliers, which fight the Lakers, other teams play the Lakers with ease.
In this case, let the SuperSonics score 58 in every game. This is really incomparable in terms of record.
What's more, when the entire alliance is fighting hard,
It doesn’t matter that Yes performed well. The other five players’ statistics and shooting percentages are also so good. They seem to be like super giants or players with super giant potential. They are not affected by the intensity of the opponent’s defense and continue to improve. This is indeed Nothing to say.
Six players from the Sonics' Generation of Miracles truly deserve the honors of the month throughout December.
But even so, Kobe still felt a little resentful.
Why David Stern doesn’t pack the Lakers!
Forget about Bynum, he, Duncan, Paul, George and Deron Williams are also willing to be packed away!
It can only be said that whether it is in public opinion or in David Stern's view, one is biological and the other is adopted.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that the other five SuperSonics players, Durant, Leonard, James Harden, Rondo and Antetokounmpo, were all trained by Yes. They were all with the Sonics in their rookie seasons and were recruited by the Sonics. It has something to do with what Yes cultivated first-hand.
In the history of the NBA, after David Stern entered the NBA, there has never been a team with six players who were selected by their own team, and then grew up together and reached such heights together.
It can be said that for David Stern and the NBA, this is a miracle, an 'era of miracles'.
Therefore, although many people were surprised when David Stern packaged the six SuperSonics players this season, they did not feel bad.
These six members of the Sonics are worthy of 2K and David Stern's "Generation of Miracles" title.
What's more, compared to the Generation of Miracles, they are indeed not at a disadvantage. In the competition for honor, they may even have an advantage.
If Generation of Miracles wants to win all the honors this season, they need to win all the games.
But he and the Lakers are different.
Just win one game!
Don't win too much, even if you win just one game, he and the Lakers will be able to get the regular season honors they want this season.
It’s just that in November, there is no game between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Lakers.
This allowed him to win completely and have good statistics, but in the end it was only the cause of resentment.
"Next month's Best of the Month must be someone from Ke!"
"Not only next month's Player of the Month, this season's regular season MVP will also be someone from Kobe!"
After Kobe's resentment, his face was filled with boundless confidence.
There is no way, even the Warriors last season, who probably won 82 consecutive games in the regular season, didn't they kneel down two games in a row in the end because of someone else's trump card? !
The person you are now is no longer the person you were when Yes left!
"December 25th, SuperSonics, Yes, I have prepared a special gift for you!"
Yes and the Sonics certainly don't know that Kobe has prepared a big gift for them.
After the start of this season, the Western Conference's Best of the Week and Best of the Month were all given to Generation of Miracles.
Especially after the Best of the Month was given to Generation of Miracles, everyone saw David Stern’s determination.
That is, if the Seattle SuperSonics can really win this season, there may really be a team that can win the MVP together this season!
David Stern This is true. Best of the Week and Best of the Month are two completely different categories of awards.
It doesn’t matter if you play Packing on the Weekly Best, but since you also play on the Monthly Best, that’s enough to explain the problem.
So it wasn't just Seattle SuperSonics fans and fanboys who were happy after David Stern gave his Player of the Month award to the Seattle SuperSonics' Generation of Miracles.
Other players and other fans from other teams in the league were also very happy.
Because this means that the rumors of "the one who will defeat the Miracle Generation King first" that have been circulating before are very likely to be true!
As long as you defeat the Seattle SuperSonics first, no matter whether you are at the bottom or a super team, you will have an advantage in all award selections this season!
This gives many players and many teams too much enjoyment.
After all, generally speaking, most NBA stars are insulated from the regular season MVP.
Now, with such an opportunity in front of me, how can I not be excited and excited?
In fact, after the Seattle SuperSonics' Generation of Miracles won the Western Conference Monthly Award, the morale of the entire league skyrocketed.
In one fell swoop, the Warriors were eliminated from the haze of being beaten 58-58 by the Seattle SuperSonics in two consecutive games.
"The Seattle SuperSonics' competitive environment this season is definitely the worst in the NBA!"
"Is David Stern praising the Seattle SuperSonics or pitting the Seattle SuperSonics?!"
"If in such an atmosphere, the Seattle SuperSonics can achieve a complete victory, there is no doubt that this team will be the greatest and most powerful team in the history of the NBA, no, in the history of basketball. , a team stronger than the Dream Team!"
After the Seattle SuperSonics' Generation of Miracles won the Player of the Month award, the entire league fell into a state of excitement and excitement.
As the initiator of this incident, the expression on David Stern's face was joyful, quite joyful.
Seeing the expression on David Stern's face, Pippen kept blinking.
"If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight."
"Scott, I'm not messing with Yes or the Sonics."
After David Stern said with a smile, Pippen nodded slightly.
"Of course the president is not trying to trick Yes and the SuperSonics. Yes is trying to justify Yes and the SuperSonics. The strongest players and the strongest team should be worthy of the most brutal competitive environment. The strong come from the strong. The so-called strong people who come out of a competition without competition are all illusory."
"The president is still full of confidence in Yes."
After Pippen finished speaking seriously, David Stern was quite satisfied.
That's what he loved about Pippen.
Let’s not talk about character, face, etc.
He didn’t say whether he was a good person or not.
Pi Er is more transparent than most people in the league.
For people who lead the NBA, nothing else matters, what matters is transparency.
It requires a transparent and exquisite heart.
At this point, Pippen is countless times taller than his last joke vice president.
The vice president of that joke will never understand the truth that the strong come from the strong. Artificially lowering the competitive environment will not only dissatisfy the fans, but also the real strong will be dissatisfied in addition to the false strong.
I'm so strong, why did you create a bunch of noobs in front of me?
Therefore, David Stern can be sure that even if he seems to be cheating Yes and the Sonics now, he can bet that no one will be dissatisfied with him, whether it is Yes or the Sonics.
Yes and the SuperSonics guys, now facing the entire league like a hungry tiger pouncing on prey, will only be more excited and excited!
And amid the excitement, excitement and craziness of the Yes SuperSonics and the entire league, the entire NBA will become more exciting, and the entire league will ultimately benefit.
Whether it is the league itself, the fans watching the game, the lively spectators, or even the players in this whirlpool of public opinion, they are all beneficiaries.
Especially a lot of players.
Without such a whirlpool of public opinion, they may never have such exposure in their lifetime.
His operation didn't cheat anyone, neither Yes nor the SuperSonics, nor any other team in the league.
Everyone benefited from his operation.
In fact, David Stern's guess is really good.
The Leafs and Seattle SuperSonics, indeed no one has any dissatisfaction with David Stern's behavior of putting them on the fire.
This season, both the Leafs and the Sonics have made their mark.
Even the team's training can be watched throughout.
This already shows the attitude of Yes and the Sonics.
It’s just to create artificial difficulties for yourself!
I just want to tell the whole world, don’t say those beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep words, you can defeat us if you have the ability, don’t make excuses, everyone face it head on.
Of course, Ye Si and Sonics' options to increase difficulty for themselves are also limited, and the most they can do is taunt and show their cards.
But to be profitable, David Stern's operation is required.
Yeas and the SuperSonics do not have the ability to award MVPs and various NBA awards.
Therefore, David Stern's approach really makes Ye Si and the SuperSonics players quite satisfied.
Since we already consider ourselves to be the strongest team in the history of basketball, of course we have to play in the most difficult NBA and the most difficult team!
On December 3, 2013, David Stern awarded the Western Conference Player of the Month to Generation of Miracles, and the effect was immediate.
The Seattle SuperSonics visit the Sacramento Kings.
Facing the underdog Kings in the Western Conference, the Seattle SuperSonics encountered extremely fierce resistance in Sacramento.
The Kings, like the Suns, are also an underdog.
But this weakling has no intention of giving up resistance.
‘The king who defeats the Miracle Generation first! ’
Just such a slogan is enough to make all NBA players throw their heads and blood.
After all, the honors of the NBA regular season are not only MVP, but also All-NBA Team, Best Defensive Player, Best Sixth Man, Most Improved Player, Best Rookie, etc.
For these Kings players, it's true that they will never be this close to these awards in their entire careers.
If we don’t fight now, when will we fight?
There are only four games against the SuperSonics this season. Giving up or not resisting in every game is a crime against oneself!
Instead of consuming the Seattle SuperSonics for other teams, now they are consuming the Seattle SuperSonics for themselves!
“The intensity of this game is so high!”
Players on weak teams do not have the control capabilities of players on strong teams, and the game can easily turn into a high-intensity game that is prone to injuries.
The Kings players couldn't control themselves. They only knew that they had to give everything they had in this game. Not only could they not protect the Seattle SuperSonics, they didn't even care about protecting themselves.
Each one of them is as if they have been injected with chicken blood!
Facing the King's style of play, how did Ye Si and the Seattle SuperSonics players feel? Others don't know, but the media reporters and commentators on the sidelines, and the audience in front of the TV, they were all really pinched. sweat.
"If the intensity of the competition the Seattle SuperSonics face in every game in the future is like this, then this season the Seattle SuperSonics will definitely be the toughest regular season team in NBA history!"
"The other teams in the NBA are really playing the Seattle SuperSonics with the attitude of competing in the finals!"
"No, it's not just about playing in the finals, it's about playing in the seventh game of the finals!"
At the end of the game between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Kings, the Seattle SuperSonics finally defeated the Kings with a score of 150 to 92.
Still achieved 58, still awarded the medal of bravery.
However, something happened in the middle of the game.
That is, two players from the Kings were carried out on stretchers in this game.
No one knows the extent of the injury, but the attitude of the Kings in this game really satisfied the Kings fans at home.
So, after the game, the entire stadium burst into cheers.
Those cheers and applause were not only for the King, but also for the Seattle SuperSonics.
"The strongest team in the NBA plays against one of the weakest teams in the NBA. When the score difference is so big, it makes people excited to watch!"
"David Stern really has something!"
Seeing the thunderous cheers at the scene, many reporters and experts at the scene were filled with sincere admiration.
After Sacramento defeated the Kings and won its 17th consecutive game this season.
The Seattle SuperSonics came to Atlanta for back-to-back visits to challenge the Atlanta Hawks away from home.
Three years have passed since former Eagle King Joe Johnson went to the Wizards to team up with Arenas, and they still haven't recovered.
To say they are a weak team, they don't seem to be considered weak in the Eastern Conference. They are considered a very disciplined team in the Eastern Conference.
To say that they are a strong team is out of the question. Basically, no truly strong team in the Western Conference can win.
According to many people, the Hawks are a rather peculiar team. They will not go on strike passively or take money and do nothing. This is their discipline in doing this job, but similarly, if they want to make them It's impossible to make them work overtime during the game.
It is such a team that, in this game against the Seattle SuperSonics, actually made the Atlanta fans at the scene see something that can only be seen in the Seattle SuperSonics, the Oklahoma City Thunder, and the Boston Celtics. See the explosion of passion!
"With David Stern's actions, even the Atlanta Hawks players are desperate?!"
"These players who are always holding teacups to soak wolfberry in their hands are actually working hard on the court!"
"'The King Who Defeats the Generation of Miracles First!' Is this sentence so magical?"
The two teams, the Kings and the Hawks, prove that this sentence is so magical!
Watching the murderous game between the Hawks and the SuperSonics on TV, David Stern looked at the "Historical Records" he had been holding in his hand.
Laughed.
