Chapter 206 NBA Chinese Derby

After the two consecutive trips in the Pacific Division ended, the Sonics still couldn't return to Seattle.

The Sonics' road game continues.

This is a frantic away game.

The Supersonics first fought in the Northwest, then in the Pacific, and finally had to make a turn in the Southwest.

Fortunately, this trip to the Southwest does not require the Sonics to play well and beat the top three in Texas.

On January 7, they will face the Dallas Mavericks and on January 8 they will face the Houston Rockets.

It was another back-to-back of two consecutive customers.

In two games, without any accidents, the Seattle SuperSonics lost all games.

Entering 2007, the Sonics will play six games in eight days.

Except for the Timberwolves, the other five games are all strong teams of the Nuggets, Warriors, Suns, Mavericks and Rockets.

Who can stand this.

After two fierce battles with the Nuggets and the Warriors, after the Suns, the Sonics were exhausted.

In the game against the Mavericks, even the substitutes Barea and Millsap were exhausted.

Not just physically, but more mentally.

89 to 115, losing to the Mavericks by 26 points in this game, the only players who seem to have vitality on the court are Jess and Milicic.

There was nothing wrong with Ye Si's body, and as for his spirit, there was even less of a problem.

He once played more than 10 finals in one day for a month in a row.

Milicic is eager to play and enjoys burning himself out on the pitch.

Jess and Milicic are special cases, one is a "court veteran" and the other is "holding in for too long".

But everyone else in the Sonics is an ordinary NBA player.

I can't stand it.

"Yezi, it's a pity for this match, I wanted to have a big fight with you guys"

"Next time"

“Only next time”

Yao Ming smiled and nodded,

This supersonic is too tiring.

The game between the Supersonics and the Rockets is a much-watched Chinese derby.

Ye Si vs. Yao Ming, this match was explosive in China.

According to Wang Han, domestic fans don't care about the outcome of this game. They support whoever wins, and it doesn't matter whoever loses.

What domestic fans want to see is the pride of Ye Si and Yao Ming standing in the center of the NBA stage.

If so, Ye Si's performance in this game should meet the expectations of domestic fans.

The Sonics lost 19 points to the Rockets 81 to 100, but Yass performed very well. He scored 40 of the 81 points for the Sonics alone.

He made 10 of 31 shots, 16 of 20 free throws, and 4 of 12 three-pointers. He scored 40 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists.

By Yeth's standards, Yeth's shooting percentage in this game is average, which looks a bit like Kobe and Iverson's shooting percentage.

After Yao Ming got Milicic stuck, and Roy got Rondo stuck, Yeth couldn't throw away a lot of pot shots.

If you can't shake the pot, you can only force it after jumping up.

Moreover, Yeth took far more than 31 shots in this game, and he still had a lot of shots converted into free throws.

20 free throws in a single game, which is the highest number of free throws in a single game in Yesi's career.

Ye Si recently discovered that as a rookie, he actually has a star whistle in the NBA...

If he hadn't discovered that he had a star whistle in this game, he wouldn't have shot so many shots.

He needs to maintain his giant image with high efficiency.

He scored 40 points on 31 shots, and the true shooting percentage is actually not bad.

The true hit rate is okay, but the true hit rate is terrible.

Without a pick-up player, even a star whistle can't protect Ye Si's shooting rate.

Trevor Ariza, who played against him in the whole game, is a very good player to take over the pot. The Supersonics also thought about trading him before.

But the Magic have no interest in the bargaining chips proposed by the Sonics.

After rejecting the Sonics deal, the Magic changed hands and completed the deal with the Rockets.

The Rockets traded Trevor Ariza from the Magic for Luther Hyde, the No. 24 pick in the first round in 2005.

Hyde has been outstanding this season, averaging 12 points per game alongside Yao Ming and McGrady Roy.

What the Magic value Hyde is not Hyde's scoring average, but Hyde's 45% three-point shooting percentage!

The Magic are now building a team with Howard as the core, one inside and four outside, one star and four stars.

The Magic needed a three-pointer, the Rockets needed defense, and the two sides reached a deal.

“Ariza was excellent”

Ye Si is sincere. Ariza is not at the level of a thousand-mile pot, but he is also a good pot comparable to Rondo.

I just don't know if it's iron or not.

“Really excellent”

Yao Ming didn't know what Ye Si was thinking.

In the previous two games between the Sonics and the Magic, Ariza's performance was very eye-catching, and Rockets coach Van Gundy has long been interested.

It's just that the Rockets were only willing to send Alston to the Magic before.

Now that the Rockets have Roy as the starting point guard, Alstom has been reduced to a substitute.

However, after the Rockets lost to the Phoenix Suns some time ago, there was a crisis. The Rockets' offense overflowed and their perimeter defense was not enough.

Faced with the robbery of the Magic, the Rockets could only grit their teeth and admit it.

An offensive role player who averaged 12 points per game and made 45% of his three-pointers was at a loss for a role player who could only defend and fast break.

However, in this game, Trevor Ariza allowed an efficiency maniac like Leaf to hit 10 of 31 shots, which doesn't seem to be that bad.

"However, in the end, Ye Zi beat him into six criminals."

Players like Leaf and Kobe, if they want to score, they can really score.

Super giants like them can't be defended. In the two games Ariza played against the Sonics with the Magic, although he performed well, he couldn't defend Leaf. Leaf still felt too bad tonight.

Feeling something invisible and intangible sometimes really makes players feel helpless.

Even a giant like Ye Zi has to kneel in front of the god of touch.

"Yao, what did you and Yes say for so long?"

"Leaves say Trevor is outstanding"

Ariza, who was on the side of McGrady and Yao Ming, was surprised.

Yes actually said he was outstanding?

This is Ariza's first game after coming to the Rockets.

Originally, Ariza felt that he was very unlucky.

Yes is too strong. Even Howard was taught the last time they played against each other.

Unexpectedly, today he met Yes with such a bad touch.

If this game is used to lock him in the starting position of the Rockets, it is really God's favor!

Yao Ming, Juwan Howard, McGrady, Ariza, Roy, and Mutombo, Hayes, Alston, and Bunch Wells sitting on the bench.

In this game against the Sonics, Van Gundy Jr. was very satisfied.

Although this game was scored by Yes with 40 points, it was Yes!

Even if Yes's touch is not good, no one can stop him from scoring. This is super giant!

It never occurred to him that Ariza could actually guard Yes.

The important thing is that after Trevor Ariza came, the outside vanguards that the Rockets have been desperately in need of finally have someone!

It's a pity to lose Hyde, but with Ariza, the Rockets can be stronger by releasing Roy from the defensive end!

Thanks Yes for parading Ariza, it's a usable fighter!

Jace didn't know that Van Gundy Jr. was thanking him.

He was greeting Roy.

"I've had a good time in Houston, don't worry now?"

When did I worry about you? !

What did I do to cause you such a misunderstanding? !
