Chapter 611 The Most Respected Player in NBA History?
In last year's playoffs, Seattle fans witnessed their team being eliminated by Phoenix with a score of 2-4 at their home court.
And this year, they finally witnessed the team eliminate the Phoenix Suns at their home court.
Not only did the Suns be eliminated, but it was also a perfect 4-0 sweep!
"This is a perfect revenge!"
For the Seattle fans at the scene, there is nothing more perfect revenge than this.
We lost here last year, and we will win it back here this year!
"Yes always knows what we want most!"
Not only was it a perfect revenge against the Suns this season, it was also a perfect revenge against the Spurs last season, which the Sonics have always regarded as their mortal enemy.
Not just beating the Spurs, but beating the Spurs in a way that completely beat Bowen.
This season, Yes single-handedly sent the team to the Lakers, and was knocked out of the first round by the Lakers.
The strongest Spurs in history have been miserably beaten by Yes in the past two years.
For the Seattle fans at the scene at this time, they couldn't find anything happier than this.
"After Yes came to the SuperSonics, these two years were our happiest and happiest two years!"
Under such a huge sense of happiness, the current atmosphere in the entire Key Arena is crazy.
The 4-0 sweep of the defending champions brought unparalleled confidence and glory to Seattle SuperSonics fans.
Even Nelson, who was standing on the sidelines at this time, found it incredible at this time.
"Seattle fans have been holding it in for too long. In this year's playoffs, just how underestimated the Sonics are, and how big their current explosion is."
Old Nelson whispered with a smile.
Nelson is very worried about this year's playoffs.
He's one of the best head coaches in the league,
Also one of the best minds in the league.
How could he not see how difficult the Nuggets and Suns were to beat.
Before the SuperSonics playoffs began, he had actually made plans to be responsible for the team's first-round exit.
In this year's Western Conference playoffs, any team except the Rockets is likely to be eliminated in the first round.
This is no joke.
According to the prediction data provided by ESPN, in this year's playoffs, the probability of the eight teams in the Western Conference being eliminated in the first round is 75%. The Thunder is followed by the Seattle SuperSonics at 65%.
Last year, under the leadership of him and Yes, the Sonics, known as the weakest team in history, were lucky enough to reach the Western Conference Finals.
It was a very sweet trip.
Sweeping the Mavericks in the first round.
In the second round, the Gentlemen swept their arch-rival Spurs.
Although eventually eliminated by the champion Suns.
But in last year's playoffs, no one would have any accusations against him, Yes or other players.
Therefore, Nelson has always felt that unless he wins the championship, last year's playoffs will be the sweetest playoffs.
But what about this year?
After falling behind 0-3 in the first round, they eventually chased four games in a row and eliminated the Nuggets with a score of 4-3.
In the second round, the defending champion Suns were swept 4-0 like an autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves, turning the strongest defending champion in history into the sixth defending champion in history!
No matter how this year's playoffs end for the Seattle SuperSonics.
So far, the Seattle SuperSonics' performance is even sweeter and more legendary than last season!
Last season, the reason why the Seattle SuperSonics were so sweet and legendary was because of him.
Facing the league's number one Mavericks, he was the main contributor to the Black Eight. This is not what he said. This is what media experts across the United States said.
The SuperSonics were a legend in the Western Conference Finals last year, so public opinion across the United States ranked him alongside Yes.
And this year, Yes is all the reason why the team is where it is now.
Before the start of this game that swept the Suns, public opinion across the country had already become that Yes was far-sighted and foresighted in Durant's frenzied training.
Yes seems to know who his main opponent is this season, as if he knows what he needs to move forward.
At the same time, public opinion across the United States and around the world was shocked by Yes' performance in cultivating Durant.
Everyone saw how rubbish Durant was when he entered the NBA.
Although as the head coach of the SuperSonics, Nelson never thought Durant was really that rubbish, he still preferred Noah when the team drafted him.
Even he never thought that Durant could achieve such an achievement so quickly.
It can be said that Durant's ability to become Yes's most trustworthy comrade in this series is entirely due to Yes' training.
But how could cultivating such a thing be just talk.
Especially the training method of Yes, if it is not supported by enough strength, it is also a joke.
If Yes is not strong enough to support Durant in the regular season, can the Seattle SuperSonics achieve a record of 69 wins and 13 losses in this year's most intense Western Conference regular season?
If Yes does not have enough strength, what awaits the SuperSonics is that in such a fierce Western Conference, there is an undercover agent like Durant. Before the start of the season, experts across the league did not regard the Seattle SuperSonics as the biggest player at the bottom of the Western Conference. Is it popular?
A team that should have been at the bottom was abruptly brought to the point of 69 wins and 13 losses by Yes!
Come the playoffs, if it weren't for Yes's super dominance, the Sonics would have been swept by the Nuggets 800 times due to the way the SuperSonics trained Durant.
But in the end, because of Yes' super strength, it was the Nuggets who were eliminated.
"MVP! MVP! MVP!"
"MVP! MVP! MVP!"
"MVP! MVP! MVP!"
Listening to the deafening MVP voice, Nelson felt it was so beautiful and appropriate.
The SuperSonics have been able to reach this point this season because of Yes's own efforts.
That's why Jordan himself said that as long as Pippen can lead the Seattle SuperSonics to win the championship this season, then this championship will be the most valuable championship in NBA history.
"In the past, many of you always scoffed at Yes's words of 'super Kobe without a championship, and super Jordan with one championship'. Now I can tell you very responsibly, if Yes is really the protagonist this season, if Yes is really the protagonist this season, After the Seattle SuperSonics won the championship, I am the first to support this statement!"
"I am Michael's former teammate and closest partner. We worked together to win six championships. No one knows better than me how difficult these six championships are. Together we defeated the Pistons' Fab Five and the LaL. Liburd defeated Magic Johnson, and we have gone through many tests. I am willing to rate the difficulty of every championship I lead the team to 100 points, and six championships are 600 points."
"But Yes, if he leads the Seattle SuperSonics to complete the counterattack of the championship this season, I will give Yes 1,000 points for this year's championship!"
"If Yes really becomes the protagonist of the NBA this year, and really takes the Seattle SuperSonics to the top this year, I am willing to recognize Yes as Michael's closest comrade and closest partner as 'One Champion Super Jordan'!"
On TNT TV, Pippen was chatting with the crowd in the TNT studio.
Outside the TV, Jordan's face was ashen.
Pi Er's skin is getting more and more itchy.
But what makes people unhappy is that he really can't do anything about Pi Er's itchy behavior.
The result of the Seattle SuperSonics sweeping the Suns 4-0 was quite shocking.
Even Larry Brown next to him looked incredulous at this time.
Pi Er barked so much just now, the biggest prerequisite is that Yes can win this year's championship.
Although this premise is still unlikely, there is no doubt that the Seattle SuperSonics sweeping the Suns will greatly increase the probability of this possibility.
If after eliminating the Nuggets, the Seattle SuperSonics' chance of winning this season was 0.1%, then it has now become 1%.
According to Pi Er's theory just now, Yes has a 1% chance of surpassing him this season.
One championship wants to surpass his six championships?
Of course he doesn't want to!
If Yes really wins the championship with the SuperSonics this season, he is willing to admit that this championship is the most valuable in history, but even if it is the most valuable, isn't it still a championship?
but……
Although there is only one champion, this 1% possible champion is really amazing...
Jordan himself had to admit that if Yes, the 1% champion, really got it, no matter whether Yes surpassed Magic or him, as long as he had this championship in hand, no historical superstar would dare to look down in front of Yes. !
As long as there is such a championship in hand, Yes can be on an equal footing with any historical superstar in NBA history, including Magic, Larry Bird, Russell, and even him!
When I think about this young man who was a rookie the year before last, there is a 1% chance that he will be on an equal footing with him after this season. Jordan feels really uncomfortable now!
"Let's go, now, this is no longer our moment."
Nash looked regretfully at the Seattle SuperSonics players who were cheering and shouting on the court behind him, feeling a little reluctant and a little regretful.
This is the NBA, everyone needs to get used to winning, and everyone needs to get used to losing.
"What we have lost is a moment, not an era!"
Nash thought silently in his heart.
The era that belongs to him and his sun has not yet come to an end.
"This is not the end, this is just another beginning!"
After Nash said softly, he led his team into the player tunnel, a temporarily dark but bright road at the end.
Isn't this the end, just another beginning?
Nash's attitude was very firm, the other Suns players were very excited, and even D'Antoni looked moved.
But Chris Webber and Grant Hill, who were walking at the end, looked at each other with wry smiles on their faces.
There was also deep melancholy in the wry smile.
They are really old... their bodies are old... their hearts are also old...
However, the two of them still followed.
This may be the last journey they take together...
After eliminating the Suns and sending away Nash, Yes knew that he and his team were about to face a more powerful and difficult challenge.
The victory in this game is a carnival for the entire Seattle, and the victory in this series is a carnival for the whole world.
But again, whether it is victory in this game or victory in this series, this is not the final victory.
Whether this road to glory is 99% complete or just the beginning, it is a process.
Looking at the crazy Seattle fans around him, Ye Si was certainly happy.
Looking at the excited teammates around him, Ye Si must have felt the same excitement in his heart.
At the same time, he was quite sober.
Now is not the time to enjoy victory wantonly.
"Yes, congratulations on sweeping the defending champion. The big score of 4-0 caught the whole world off guard."
The post-game press conference after the Seattle SuperSonics swept the Suns at home could be described as a sea of people.
Feeling the warm atmosphere around him, Wang Han felt a little unbelievable. You must know that before the start of this series, most of the media around the world had given up on this series and were remembering the previous series.
Except for the Seattle media and the Chinese media, who would expect the Sonics to beat the Suns?
Now it's not defeat, but sweep!
After Ye Si completed this incredible feat, Wang Han could clearly feel that Ye Si's already incredible prestige had become even more incredible.
Now since the Boston Celtics formed the Big Three in the NBA, and there are more and more Big Three and even Big Four in the league, everyone is emphasizing one concept, that is, single core.
In the history of the NBA, there is no single-core player more pure than Yes!
From the rusty Baili ruins to the war-filled Baili Steel City, every steel column and even every screw here was hammered out by Ye Si himself.
Wang Han was thinking a lot now, and the look he looked at Ye Si became more and more complex, with respect, sympathy, and many other emotions in addition.
Only when he saw Ye Si preparing to answer questions from a reporter from the Seattle Stranger did Wang Han come back from his thoughts.
"Yes, Pippen said that when you sweep and defeat the Suns and finally reach the top this season, that's when you officially become the most respected player in the NBA."
Is this the most respected player who won the championship this year?
Yesdu was a little stunned by this new concept created by Pippen.
It seems that because of him, the NBA has many new concepts that were unheard of before.
Since Jordan, the most important player, is still very stable, how about starting from other aspects?
Ye Si didn't even know what to say to these crazy Ye Chui.
but……
"Yes, you are now on the road to becoming the most respected player. Will the opponent you hope to encounter on your road be the Rockets or the Lakers?"
Ye Si pulled his thoughts back.
Lakers and Rockets?
"Lakers."
"Lakers? Why?"
"Now the Lakers look like the team most likely to advance. Now the Lakers look more likely to appear in front of me. If the Rockets catch up from behind, that's OK."
"That should be all right?"
"Um."
"The strongest is the best."
Just the strongest? !
Wang Han and the surrounding reporters were stunned.
Has anyone answered this question this way?
