Chapter 649 Someone Is Waiting for Us!
"Rajan, have you taken your medicine?!"
It’s crazy to take medicine!
In the stands of the North Shore Garden Arena in Boston, the Boston Celtics fans were filled with confusion. The 14-point advantage was wiped out in less than 4 minutes!
At the end of halftime, the score on the field was still 64-50, and now it has become 70-all!
In other words, in less than 4 minutes, the Boston Celtics were beaten 6-20!
If Ray Allen's three-pointer at the beginning of the second half is removed, in almost four minutes of the third quarter, the score is 3-20!
The Seattle SuperSonics beat the Celtics 20-3 at the Boston Celtics' home court!
This is a wave!
With the Boston Celtics' defense, they were actually beaten like this in the game!
After Ray Allen encountered some difficulties with Rondo in the past four minutes, the Celtics tried other methods to solve the problem, whether it was Garnett playing Milicic and Millsap or Pierce playing Yes, In the end they all ended in failure!
During this period, the only three points the Celtics scored were still scored by Ray Allen.
Ray Allen pulled out the points scored by Rondo.
But Ray Allen only hit one of Rondo's three attempts!
On the other side, among the Sonics' 20 points, Yes alone hit 5 three-pointers. This efficiency really shocked not only the Celtics fans at the scene, but also Wang Han and others from China. Many reporters thought they had watched the game wrong, and the channel was temporarily changed.
Not only them, but other reporters from all over the United States and the world around them were also surrounded in a state of being dumbfounded.
And the commentators from all over the world are definitely the craziest group of people in the world now!
Especially the commentator from a certain TNT.
Now the TNT commentator who claims to be the number one coconut fan has shouted so loudly that his voice is broken!
Beat the Celtics 20-3 in just four minutes!
Even Ye Si,
They were all a little excited.
This timeout is not the first timeout of this quarter.
Rondo had guarded Ray Allen twice before. When he hit his third three-pointer against Ray Allen, Rivers had actually requested a timeout.
It's just that during this timeout, Rivers didn't make any other changes in tactics. He just mentally asked the Celtics players not to relax and tighten up.
This is normal. With such a big lead and the beginning of the third quarter, players will inevitably relax.
In Rivers' view, as long as the spirit is lifted a little, the team can take the initiative again.
It's just that obviously, the development of things was beyond Rivers' expectation. It wasn't until the scores were tied and the Celtics even showed signs of collapse that he realized that everything he imagined was wrong, even his The worldview has somewhat collapsed.
It turns out that Pierce really can't guard against Yes!
Not only is he unable to guard against Yes, Pierce may very well be Yes' ATM!
It turns out that Rondo can really limit Ray Allen!
Whether Ray Allen is attacking with the ball or running without the ball, he can't find a good opportunity against Rondo. Ray Allen's best offensive opportunity is to use his height to knock out Rondo!
Throughout his career, Rondo, who had behaved like an idiot when it came to moving without the ball, suddenly seemed to have an idea. Not only did he move without the ball, but even his defensive strength seemed to be improved. All have the strength of the best defensive team level.
This sudden change really makes Rivers' head explode now!
In fact, it's not just Rivers whose head is exploding now. Nelson and other Celtics players' heads are also exploding.
Even Ye Si, who had some guesses about Rondo's ability to hide his ability off the ball, was actually quite surprised.
He personally taught Quentin Richardson, Wilkins and Rondo step by step for more than a month.
Wilkins is the most idiotic player he has ever seen move without the ball.
Wilkins is already the bottom line of humanity.
But Rondo didn't even reach the bottom line of humanity.
Unless Rondo is no longer a human species, his off-ball movement won't be that bad.
Rondo is naturally still human, so the only possibility is that he is hiding his off-ball ability.
Ye Si had this guess at that time.
Although I'm not sure, it's close to ten.
However, he is not very sure why Rondo hides his ability without the ball.
Is it because he knows that he can't guard Ray Allen, so he is unwilling to take on this responsibility and is afraid of taking on this responsibility?
Or does he not want to give up his current role on the team?
For Rondo, his current role in the team is quite good. He is a free man on the court. He can roam as much as he wants. He has the ball and rebounds. If he has nothing to do, he can score a few points and that will be a triple-double. After the season He averaged a triple-double every game.
Perhaps for Rondo, there is nothing more pleasant in the world.
Exposing his ability to move without the ball or his defensive strength does not seem to be of any benefit to him. When the time comes, he will not be able to fulfill the role and position assigned to him by the team and coach. He wants to return to himself. When you are familiar with the position, you find that the position that originally belonged to you has become someone else's. What should you do?
When the time comes, I won’t be able to find anyone to cry to.
Human beings, after all, are animals that like comfort and are unwilling to jump out of their comfort zone.
There are very few people who can keep moving forward and climbing forward.
Of course, these are just Ye Si's guesses. As for Rondo's reason, or if there are other reasons, Ye Si is not very clear.
However, it doesn't matter if it's not very clear. Rondo can withstand Ray Allen. This is more important than anything else!
Ye Si was very excited now, and the look he looked at Rondo no longer looked like he was looking at a rebel who might rebel at any time.
Ye Si only mentioned his two guesses before, but there was another guess in his heart that he had never wanted to believe, that is, Rondo deliberately concealed his strength, maybe he still wanted to see him fail.
Now, at his most critical moment, Rondo chose not to hide his strength anymore, which directly dispelled Rondo's desire to see him fail.
As long as Rondo doesn't want to see him fail, as long as Rondo doesn't want to play him, it doesn't matter if he wants to be the boss. He can get it based on his strength. He is not a stingy person. He has been the boss for more than 2,000 and nearly 3,000 games. Irving, he is very aware of this competitive mentality.
Ye Si has always guessed that Rondo is hiding his strength, but for the rest of the SuperSonics, or for the rest of the world, they don't know.
And Rondo is naturally unwilling to say that he is hiding his strength. This is not a glorious thing. You are not Yes. You have the strategic needs of the team, or to train teammates, or to confuse opponents, so you hide your strength. You, a small role player, hide your strength, what else can you do if you don't have ulterior motives?
Well, Rondo does have ulterior motives, so his explanation is the off-ball movement and defense he learned from studying with Yes for more than a month.
With the famous teacher Yes teaching me step by step for more than a month, even if he is really a pig, he will still be able to figure it out.
So Nelson believed it, other Seattle SuperSonics players believed it, and even TNT's two commentators Barkley and Kenny Smith believed it. Of course, all the viewers watching TV at this time also believed it!
"I taught Rondo step by step for more than a month..."
Recalling what was just broadcast live on TV, Harden's round eyes were as wide as lanterns.
Such a boss is too fucking enviable, no, makes people jealous, right? !
Is the environment that the Seattle SuperSonics players are in, in heaven? !
At this time, not only Harden, but also Rose, Beasley, Mayo and others were also looking at the sharp-mouthed and mean-looking SuperSonics No. 2 on the TV. This guy suddenly turned out to be an Internet celebrity player selling pipi. , was trained by Yes into an All-Defensive Team-level player who can withstand Ray Allen, and coupled with his pass that Yes used the ball to feed, this is crazy, Rondo was built by Yes step by step. An All-Star player has emerged!
If it is a bit abstract to say that Durant became an All-Star with offensive superstar ability because he was cultivated by Yes, then Rondo is too concrete!
Now Mayo, Beasley and even many high-ranking predicted rookies feel a little regretful about why they showed their talent so young in middle school and high school.
As a result, even if they hide their talents and lower their picks to the level where the Sonics can choose, it will be useless. Others will not believe it at all!
"The whole world says that Yes single-handedly created the Seattle SuperSonics, but no one in the world has seen it all in detail. Now, have you seen it, have you heard it? What Yes did in Seattle is far from what he did. The data makes it so simple!”
"Those so-called superstars who complain that their cities are small, their teams are weak, and their teammates are bad should take a look. Is your team really as weak as the SuperSonics after being robbed by the Raptors? Those teammates around you are really as good as the Toronto Raptors. There are many, there is Durant, there is Millsap, there is Milicic, there is David Lee, there is Barea, are they weak?!"
"And this is why Yes is so great and perfect!"
Barkley, who has been holding it in since entering the finals, really can't hold it in anymore.
Barkley is very crazy now, but Kenny Smith on the side can understand Barkley's current madness very well.
Ever since the Sonics entered the Finals and faced the Celtics, Ray Allen has been a sword hanging over the heads of all coconut fans.
Regardless of whether this sword is unsheathed or not, it is just hanging on the heads of these coconut fans. Even though the Seattle SuperSonics have won two games before, they have no room for revelry.
And now, their heads are finally no longer bare!
Now, they finally have a helmet and shield on their heads that can protect them. They no longer have to be threatened by Ray Allen's sword!
Not only are the current Seattle SuperSonics and Coconuts no longer threatened by Ray Allen's sword, they even now lead 2-0 in the finals!
Champion!
Kenny Smith can be sure that this guy Barkley must have the idea of championship in his heart!
Now the millions of coconut fans in front of the TV are all thinking about being champions!
In fact, Kenny Smith can understand very well that these people have such thoughts. In the current situation of the finals, let alone these people would have such thoughts.
Even someone like him who supports James will have such thoughts.
He is very reluctant to see Yes win the championship trophy before James.
But yes, it does look like it’s getting closer!
For the first time, the hope of a championship is so close!
Kenny Smith suppressed the strong discomfort in his heart, looked away from the crazy Barkley beside him, and looked at the Seattle SuperSonics No. 9 on the SuperSonics bench.
Will this year really be his year?
Will he really become the protagonist of this year, the most legendary year in NBA history?
Will he really be the end of this year's NBA?
Kenny Smith still doesn't want to believe this is true.
Not only Kenny Smith didn't want to believe it, but Rivers and the Celtics players in front of the Celtics bench also didn't want to believe it.
The team of the Big Three!
They are a team of the Big Three!
When they formed the invincible Big Three, the Seattle SuperSonics where Yes was still in ruins!
But now...
Everyone on the Celtics bench felt sad that they were forced into this situation by the SuperSonics!
The most uncomfortable player on the Celtics bench right now is Pierce.
He works so hard!
He works so hard these days!
But Yes seemed to be teasing him!
He, Paul Pierce, who has dominated the NBA for 10 years, has been teased in this way? !
Faced with such a trick, he didn't even have the strength to resist!
Looking at Pierce, who was covering his head with a towel at this time, Rivers sighed in his heart.
This blow was indeed a big blow to Paul.
Let alone Paul, no one in the world would have imagined that there would be a player like Yes in this world!
However, no matter how much he sympathizes with Pierce, Rivers has always known clearly what he needs to do now.
Now, he and his team need to win!
"Ley, facing Rondo's defense, your offense needs to be more cautious."
"KG, we still need to create opportunities for Ray, but they need to be more complicated. They are real opportunities, not opportunities for Ray to look for on his own!"
"besides……"
After Ray Allen and Garnett nodded, Rivers looked at Pierce.
"From our next appearance, flank Yes!"
Rivers's extremely determined words caused a deathly silence on the entire Celtics bench.
Everyone noticed the slight shrug of Pierce's shoulders.
The offensive end had no value before, and now even the defensive end has no value...
Unlike the solemn Celtics bench, the Seattle SuperSonics side is much more cheerful.
Real joy.
Nelson, who had been frowning since entering the finals, had a smile on his face.
Nelson has always been confident that he is the best chef in the NBA. In the past, he could not cook without the ingredients.
Now that he has the ingredients, can he still cook?
"Yes, after the timeout you will be double-teamed by the Celtics, crazy double-teams!"
"But don't be afraid to hold the ball and ask for it. Use your passing to let the world know why you are called a miracle on the basketball court!"
Nelson's words were so passionate that all the surrounding Sonics players became excited.
only……
"Yes, do you have anything else to add?"
"I want to play inside."
"I want the Celtics to double-team me in the paint."
After Ye Si finished speaking softly, Nelson and the SuperSonics players next to him were immediately confused.
Play inside? !
If the Celtics double-team Yes, it is already a good opportunity for the SuperSonics.
Compared to outside double-teaming, inside double-teaming is certainly a better opportunity for the Sonics.
But who is the Celtics' inside man?
Garnett!
"Yes?"
"I want to win this game, 100%!"
"I want to win the championship quickly."
"There are still people waiting for us."
Old Nelson, who still wanted to say something else, was so shocked by these words that he choked back all his words.
Can you beat Garnett now?
Ye Si doesn’t know.
but……
If you don’t try it, how will you know?
Ye Si's eyes were very firm, extremely firm!
In an advanced intensive care unit in Seattle, looking at the determined eyes on the TV, a patient's heart was beating rapidly, as if he had hit a winning shot.
My heart is shaking and my hands are shaking...
