Chapter 622 Awkward Rondo
"Quentin, it doesn't matter if you say you defeated Rajan, why did you tell Yes that you defeated me too!"
Defeat Nima's Rajan!
Rondo looked at Wilkins who was explaining with disdain.
Just you two scum, if the second master is willing, he can explode you two into scum!
but……
Rondo snorted coldly in his heart.
Yeas is used to the feud between Wilkins and Quentin Richardson.
Because Yeas has been letting Rondo, Damian Wilkins and Quentin Richardson conduct offensive and defensive training on off-the-ball movements since he was preparing to gain weight.
Ye Si knows very well that it is easier to gain weight than to lose weight.
In order to hit the rocket, he added weight and then reduced the weight. It was not that easy.
It can be said that when he gains weight to the point where he becomes overweight, the overweight state will end with him until this season's NBA playoffs.
Overweight status is the key to the Seattle SuperSonics defeating the Rockets, and he must get it.
However, being overweight is really a nightmare for the Boston Celtics who may face them in the finals.
When he is overweight, it is impossible for him to guard Ray Allen.
By then, Ray Allen will become an impossible point for the Seattle SuperSonics to defend.
Just thinking about Ray Allen scoring 28 points in 18 minutes in this year's All-Star Game makes Ye Si feel chilly in his heart.
For the Seattle SuperSonics, the most threatening player from the Boston Celtics is either Garnett, Pierce, or Ray Allen.
When he can't face Ray Allen, Ray Allen needs a player who can follow him.
Quentin Richardson, Damian Wilkins and…
Ye Si looked at Rondo, who looked unhappy.
And Rondo is the three players he selected to try to defend Ray Allen.
After almost a month of practice, Quentin Richardson's practice results are the best.
It's not because Quentin Richardson has good hardware, but because he works the hardest.
Quentin Richardson is one of the players in the entire Seattle SuperSonics who obeys Jayce the most.
As the starter for the SuperSonics last season, after being replaced by Durant in the starting position this season, his performance was not only professional, but also moved Ye Si.
Quentin Richardson was one of the first players to take on Durant after he showed good value.
"Yes saved me. He made my basketball valuable again!"
"If the starting position I lost can help Yes, I am very happy. I am dissatisfied with KD now, but I am definitely the person who most desires KD to be worthy of his starting position and Yes. I know my answer will make you Disappointed, but that’s what I think, I don’t like KD now, but I hope I can become one of the people who likes KD the most in the future!”
When Quentin Richardson was interviewed about losing his starting position, what he said was not polite words of high emotional intelligence, but his true voice.
A player whose words and deeds are consistent and who has a pure dream is a player worthy of everyone's respect.
Yeas didn't tell Richardson, Wilkins and Rondo why he needed them to play off the ball.
Of the three, only Quentin Richardson is practicing at full strength.
Because this is what Yes needs.
However, what makes Ye Si regretful is that although Quentin Richardson has the best attitude and his off-ball movement skills have improved the fastest under the guidance of him, the best teacher in history, Quentin Richardson Dessen can't guard Ray Allen.
Maybe the young Quentin Richardson in the Clippers can catch up with Ray Allen. The current Quentin Richardson can't catch up with Ray Allen. When he can't catch up, When Ray Allen was playing, no matter how good his skills were, he was just another Bowen. However, this time, Bowen was Richardson and Ray Allen was Yes.
Quentin Richardson has the best attitude, but the worst hard conditions.
And what about Wilkins?
Wilkins' hard conditions are definitely the best.
As the nephew of the essence of human movies, Damien Wilkins's physical talents are online in all aspects. The 28-year-old Damien Wilkins's physical condition is now at its peak.
But unfortunately, Wilkins's 'IQ' has always been problematic.
The ‘IQ’ mentioned here is literally ‘IQ’.
Wilkins' basketball is too rough, not refined enough, and he doesn't have a refined IQ.
Let him fight hard, fight James, fight Wade, fight Kobe, or even fight Duncan, he can roll up his sleeves and go up and fight.
Let him compete with Ray Allen, and Ye Si feels that this month has been wasted.
After looking at Wilkins and Richardson who were arguing, Ye Si felt a little regretful. It would be perfect if these two people were combined.
Unfortunately, nothing is so perfect in this world.
Ye Si withdrew his gaze from the two of them and looked at Rondo, who had been standing there on the other side.
If Quentin Richardson works the hardest, but a serious injury makes him incapacitated, Wilkins wants to work hard, but doesn't know how.
Then Rondo just pretends that he works hard, but actually does nothing, so naturally there is no progress.
Facing Ye Si's deep and calm eyes, Rondo's eyes flickered a little.
Rondo's eyes are not only twinkling now, but his heart is also twinkling.
He really didn't dare to face Ye Si's calm and questioning eyes now.
Movement without the ball!
It's just something Rondo has been deliberately avoiding.
He doesn't want to show his ability to move without the ball!
In the Seattle SuperSonics, next to Yes, he needs to show that his most powerful form is holding the ball!
In the Seattle SuperSonics, next to Yes, he absolutely cannot show that his off-ball movement is actually very good.
"If the second master's shooting bag is found, the second master won't have to be so careful about pretending!"
If it shows that the second master's movement without the ball is very good, then on the offensive end the second master must move without the ball and catch the ball and shoot. However, the team's tactics are not only Yes' movement, the second master passes the ball, but also The second master's movement is yes and the pass is even the main tactic!
If the second master cannot throw in these good opportunities from Yes, then...
Think about Du Shiwu this season!
If Du Shiwu can't throw it in, Yes will pass it harder!
Not to mention the pressure from outside, he can withstand it.
But what about internal pressure?
At that time, except for Yes, everyone on the team wanted Durant to leave!
Why didn't Du Shiwu leave in the end?
It’s not because this guy actually practiced it later!
If the second master is treated like this by Yes, can the second master be able to practice?
Of course the second master can practice it, but, but... the second master really doesn’t want to be kicked out of the Sonics!
The second master hasn’t completed the boss’s counterattack yet!
The second master has not yet fulfilled his dream of having Yes as his younger brother!
The second master doesn’t want to leave the SuperSonics yet!
The second master is indeed very selfish now, but he is forced to do so!
Moreover, the second master is indeed stronger with the ball than without the ball. There is nothing wrong with the second master using his strongest skills to help the team, right? !
When the second master picks up the shooting bag, it’s okay to not have the ball anymore!
Seeing that Rondo was becoming more and more awkward under his gaze, Ye Si also withdrew his gaze from Rondo.
"Let me teach you the next off-ball skills."
"Yes, Rajan and I haven't learned the previous level yet, can we learn with you?"
Ye Si looked at Rondo who was looking down at him and nodded to Wilkins: "Okay."
It seems like you are working hard, but there is no progress at all. Is there really no progress?
This in itself is quite weird.
In Ye's mind, the Boston Celtics have always been the strongest team in the Eastern Conference.
No matter how miserable the Celtics' regular season finale was, Yeas never changed his mind.
The Boston Celtics will indeed become less powerful when they come to the West.
But no team in the East can match them.
Whether it's Iverson's Pistons or Arenas' Wizards, it's the same.
Of course, for Arenas, he doesn't think so.
"In last year's playoffs, we ended the Pistons' Eastern Conference era!"
"In this year's playoffs, we are going to end the Boston Celtics' Eastern Conference era!"
On May 22, in the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals, Arenas, who was playing away from home, spoke passionately about his pursuit of this season before the start of the game in front of the whole world.
"We must learn from Yes and the SuperSonics. This season we will join the SuperSonics in the Finals!"
"finals!"
"finals!"
"finals!"
Seeing those players on TV who were inspired by Arenas, as if they were Raptors players, raising their fists in shame, Ye Si didn't know what to say.
If the most shameful and popular team in the NBA right now is the Raptors, then the second most shameful and biggest competitor is definitely the Wizards.
Of course, for Arenas, this is not shame, this is youth, this is hard work, this is the passion to turn the impossible into possible!
Arenas and the Wizards are indeed very passionate.
They were swept and beaten by the Celtics last year, and they have to find their feet this season.
But in the end, the Boston Celtics beat Arenas' Wizards again 108-90 at home.
Ye Si didn't feel any surprise about this result. The Celtics are the Wizards' nemesis.
The Wizards' Big Three, Arenas, Butler, Jamison, and the Boston Celtics have people who match every point, Tony Allen, Pierce, Garnett...
Facing Tony Allen's defense, Arenas really showed his true nature as a super giant.
But at the same time, it also showed his extreme loneliness.
It feels lonely when there are no teammates around you to help.
Butler and Jamison are both excellent teammates, but as the second and third leaders, they have reached their limit by reaching the conference finals.
Their limit is ordinary All-Stars.
And the conference finals, this is the stage for superstars!
Neither Butler nor Jamison are superstars at any point.
From this point of view, Yes is lucky.
The potential of Durant next to him is not that of a mediocre All-Star.
Rondo next to him is not a mediocre ordinary All-Star.
Including Millsap and Milicic, they all have extraordinary points, useful points, and points that can be relied on.
No one has the strength to defeat his opponents, and the helpers around him are not reliable enough. This year's playoffs are destined to be another uncomfortable season for Arenas.
At the same time, this game also allowed Ye Si to give up the last trace of luck.
If the Seattle SuperSonics can really defeat the Rockets and enter the finals, then their opponent in the finals must be the Boston Celtics.
On May 23, 2008, the second game between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Houston Rockets started as scheduled.
Because the Seattle SuperSonics defeated the Houston Rockets on the road in the first game, this directly caused the Seattle SuperSonics and the Houston Rockets to become more concerned about the most watched Western Conference Finals in history.
No joke, before the Rockets and SuperSonics started playing, the difference in strength between the two sides was so great that many fans were afraid to watch the game.
But the victory of the Seattle SuperSonics in the first game made many fans who gave up this series come back again.
"Is there anything you want to say before the game?"
"The only thing I want to say is that for the Rockets, this is a game that they absolutely cannot lose."
This is what Rockets head coach Adelman said in an interview before the game.
Adelman has always been a pretty straightforward person.
He said that this game is a game that the Rockets cannot lose again, so the Rockets in this game must not be so easy to deal with.
When the game started, Nelson also gave up the last trace of luck.
As expected, the steady-faced and paralyzed Man has not changed his strategy towards Yes!
Still pressing crazily on both offense and defense Yes!
At the same time, facing Durant, who broke out in the last game, the Rockets also had a new arrangement.
Although this game still allowed Durant to play alone, it was obvious that Durant was more closely guarded.
Facing Durant, who can pull up and break through, Adelman asked the Rockets players to focus on defense in this game.
Obviously, Adelman did his job.
Facing the Rockets' changed defense, Durant's unlimited singles had some problems.
There is no problem when playing alone against Gerald Wallace and Tracy McGrady or Yao Ming, but...
Roy, Artest and Ariza were no longer so comfortable in singles.
Faced with the steady and paralyzed Man who fights to kill Yes, even a man as smart as Nelson is helpless.
If Durant can still kill the Rockets with the SuperSonics in this game, Nelson believes that Adelman will not be able to stabilize no matter how stable he is.
But in the end, Durant failed.
"After the Rockets adjusted their defense against Durant in this game, Durant's consumption increased significantly. Compared with the previous game, his efficiency in the fourth quarter dropped sharply!"
"The current Durant is the most tired Durant I have ever seen!"
At the end of the game, Kenny Smith was surprised when he looked at the scoreboard of 101 to 94.
This game finally has the look of a game controlled by the strongest defensive team in history!
"The excitement of this series is not just the singles duels between players from both sides!"
The showdown between Nelson and Adelman, two NBA wise men, is also a great attraction.
Obviously, after losing the first round.
In the second round, Adelman pulled one back!
