Chapter 203 Super Influence!
Yees led the scoring list for a day before being overtaken by Bryant.
On January 3, a double overtime game between the Lakers and the Kings. In this offensive battle, the Lakers defeated the Kings 140 to 135. Kobe made 14 of 30 shots, 20 of 25 free throws, and 3 of 5 three-pointers. Scored 51 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists.
Bryant's 51 points were not as many as Yeth's 53 points in the previous game, but it was enough to pull Yeth down from the top scoring position.
Leaving Denver, the road trip between Yass and the Sonics continues.
In this day and age, the road trip schedule in the West is very unfriendly.
The Pacific road trip will encounter the Suns led by Nash, which can blow you away at every turn.
When you meet the Lakers led by Kobe, you don't know whether it is a dark cloud or a white cloud over Kobe's head, whether it is Thor or Iron God.
In addition, there are a group of Clippers with a group of mature men in their 30s, and a group of warriors with little fresh meat. Even if they are kings, there are three capable players like Mike Bibby, Kevin Martin and Artest who average 20+ per game. player of.
In the Pacific theater, there are no underdogs.
What if you are not in the Pacific Theater, but playing away in the Northwest Theater?
Meeting the Utah Jazz is an ultimate test of spirit, will, and body. The Jazz will let you know what a journey to purgatory is.
When encountering the Seattle Supersonics, the Supersonics are now protected by a hurricane called Hurricane Garfield, and they need to be careful to be blown away by this hurricane that has been blowing for more than a year.
When encountering the Denver Nuggets, whether it is a dark cloud or a white cloud, whether it is Thor or Iron God, Anthony and Iverson also need to guess.
That is to say, you can take a little breather when you meet the Trail Blazers and Timberwolves.
The scariest part was the road trip to the Southwest.
The Spurs, Mavericks, and Rockets' triple hits can make most teams in the league suspect that after going to the Southwest, the record they bring back is a three-game losing streak.
Three of the five strongest teams in the league are in the southwest!
Seattle's Western Conference road trip this time is very unfriendly. After playing the Timberwolves and Nuggets in the Northwest Division, they will soon fly to the Pacific Division to play the Warriors and Suns.
On January 4, 2007, the Seattle SuperSonics played away against the Golden State Warriors.
In the game between the Supersonics and the Nuggets, Jess singled out Iverson, Anthony and jr Smith's effect.
Golden State Warriors head coach Mark Jackson has taken his defensive intensity to another level.
Previously, most teams in the league had a defensive strategy against Ye Si, as long as Ye Si passed halftime, there must be someone beside him at any time.
As long as Yees gets to the three-point line, in addition to the player who is next to him, there will be a help defense player.
The defensive player who has been sticking to Ye Si is usually a small man, chasing Ye Si with speed, sticking to Ye Si's side when Ye Si makes a shot, and interfering.
In the game between the Sonics and the Warriors, Mark Jackson was already defending against Yeth's catch. If Yeth still catches the ball, the two of them will play immediately!
"This is Kobe-level defense!"
The Warriors and the Sonics also played two games before, with one win and one loss. In the previous two games, Mark Jackson never raised Yes to the same level as Kobe.
In this game, he raised his defense against Yes to Kobe level!
If Yes can throw the Warriors to death in the face of double teams like Kobe, the Warriors will recognize it!
However, what makes Mark Jackson depressed is that Yes and Kobe have the same offensive threat, but their styles of play are completely different!
In the face of double-teaming, if Kobe can throw it, he must throw it.
As for Yes, he still chooses to trust his teammates more.
Two very different styles.
In this game, under the attack of Matt Barnes and Azubuike, Yes only took 15 shots, 8 of 15, scored 24 points, but sent 17 assists!
"Congratulations to Yes for setting the highest number of assists in a single game in his career!"
"Yes seems to have no interest in the scoring champion at all. Yes played very rationally and selflessly!"
Reggie Miller is full of praise!
He can understand the helplessness of the Warriors and Mark Jackson, Yes is harder to defend than Kobe!
Kobe was stubborn and easy to guess.
But Yes, I really can't guess at all.
Normal Yes, full strength Yes, strongest Yes, you have no idea what Yes is in this game.
Some teams may choose to not be so tight on the defense of Yes, and wait until the full Yes and the strongest Yes come out.
And Mark Jackson chose to pinch Yes with the strongest Yes from the beginning, so as to prevent problems before they happen.
Mark Jackson's strategy can be said to be successful, or it can be said to fail.
The success lies in allowing Yes to take only 15 shots and scoring 24 points. The failure lies in allowing Yes to send 17 assists.
And a lot of assists are Yes jumping up and passing the ball directly to David Lee.
Normally, Yes would not add David Lee to the dumping system.
David Lee's talent is not eligible to enter the dumping system.
But in this game, in order to contain Yes, Mark Jackson used one big and four small ones. Except for center Biedrins, everyone else was on the outside.
David Lee doesn't have the talent to take over the pot most of the time, but in this game, he can still be the one to take the pot.
"Yes is very good at using his influence as a superstar!"
In this regard, Yes is above Kobe!
The latter sentence was made by Reggie Miller in his heart.
Kobe can actually protect his shooting percentage like Yes, and use his influence to share his shots with his teammates.
In this way, the hit rate can be improved, and the assists can also be brushed up.
Kobe wouldn't do that, that's not Kobe's style.
Kobe wouldn't be Kobe if he was as cold, sane and ruthless as Yes!
110 to 106, the Sonics defeated the Golden State Warriors, their immediate rivals in the playoffs, and won their 21st victory of the season.
After the game, David Lee was very excited. Tonight was his career night, with 31 points and 11 rebounds. He scored 30+ for the first time in his career, and it was also the first time to get a 30+ double-double.
Mark Jackson stared at David Lee enviously.
But what made him even more envious was Yes!
A 5+4 low-level rookie like David Lee can be cultivated into a double-double machine with Yes.
Coupled with Rondo's second assists and Milicic's second center in the Western Conference, Quentin Richardson got out of the haze of being almost crippled by Larry Brown.
Visible prosperity at supersonic speed!
When the Sonics gave everything for Yes, everyone predicted that the Sonics would not be able to stand up within five years!
now what?
In the first season led by Yes, we are about to stand up!
After Yes used the Nuggets to prove that he is a super giant, Mark Jackson knew it very well.
Whether it is the Warriors or the Clippers, the Hornets or the Kings, it is difficult for these teams to pull the Supersonics down!
Super giant!
Baron Davis of the Warriors, Brand of the Clippers, Chris Paul of the Hornets, Artest of the Kings, none of them are super giants.
And yes it is!
This is super giant influence!
