Chapter 841 The Wheels of History Are Rolling In!

"I didn't expect that either of us or the Seattle SuperSonics would fail to make the playoffs this season."

In the Dallas hotel, Yao Ming, Roy, Gerald Wallace and other Rockets players now have very solemn expressions on their faces.

Seeing his teammates like this, Yao Ming didn't know what to say at this moment.

The Rockets were the strongest team in the league last season, recording a record of 73 wins and 9 losses in the regular season, breaking the Chicago Bulls' regular season record that was considered impossible to break.

And what about the Seattle SuperSonics?

The Seattle SuperSonics were the NBA championship last season and can be said to be the real biggest winner in the NBA last season.

It can be said that last season, the Rockets were the biggest regular season winners in the NBA, while the SuperSonics were the biggest playoff winners.

There are two teams like this. If you want to say that before the start of this season, someone said that one of these two teams might not make the playoffs, anyone who said this would definitely be considered crazy.

But now, only one of the two teams can enter the playoffs.

Even if the Phoenix Suns, now 60 wins and 21 losses, lose their last game against the Timberwolves, the Phoenix Suns can only be overtaken by the Seattle SuperSonics and fall from seventh to eighth. It is impossible for the Phoenix Suns to be surpassed by the current 58 wins and 23 losses. rocket beyond.

In other words, the Phoenix Suns' playoff position has been determined.

The difference is whether this team is seventh or eighth. If it wins the Timberwolves, it will ensure seventh place. If it loses the Timberwolves, if the Sonics win the Heat, it will be the eighth. If the Sonics lose to the Heat, it will still be the eighth. seven.

But the Rockets, if they want to enter the playoffs, must defeat the Mavericks in their last away game and lose to the SuperSonics to the Heat.

In this game between the SuperSonics and the Heat, judging from the recent statements made by Heat players, the Heat are definitely going all out. The Seattle SuperSonics have a low chance of winning away from home.

But if the Rockets want to enter the playoffs, it's not just a loss to the Seattle SuperSonics, the Rockets themselves also have to defeat the Mavericks!

The Mavericks are now fourth in the Western Conference, and it is impossible to catch up with the Spurs, who are first in the Western Conference. Therefore, even if the Mavericks' record is better than the Lakers and Nuggets, they can only be ranked fourth, and it is impossible to catch up with the first place. It is impossible to be caught up by the fifth-placed Grizzlies, which makes the Mavericks' attitude toward the final regular season worth choosing and scrutinizing.

As far as the current situation is concerned, the Rockets are indeed better.

Since the outcome of the last game doesn't matter anymore, it's hard to say how much strength the Mavericks can use to fight the Rockets.

After all, the Mavericks still have to play the very powerful Grizzlies in the first round of the playoffs.

A head-on fight with the Rockets will do no good to the Mavericks at all.

But.

Even though the Rockets are in a better situation than the Sonics, the initiative is still not in the Rockets' hands.

This is the most troublesome part.

The chances of the Seattle SuperSonics defeating the Heat at full strength are very slim, and it may take a miracle for such a thing to happen.

But don't forget, Xiao Yezi is the best at creating miracles in the history of basketball!

As someone who won the Olympic championship with the Chinese team with Xiao Yezi, Yao Ming is even more aware of how dangerous this is.

Not only does he know it, but Roy also knows it. Gerald Wallace and other Rockets players who were defeated by the SuperSonics in the playoffs last season also know it very well.

"The Seattle SuperSonics and Yes are in dire straits!"

"Yes and the Seattle SuperSonics will miss the playoffs!"

"Reusing Ibaka this season has become the most unbearable burden for the SuperSonics and Yes!"

"Ibaka will become a historical sinner in Seattle!"

"We are about to face the only time in Yes' career that we will not be able to make the playoffs!"

This is the voice and public opinion outside now.

Many people are looking forward to the failure of Leafs and the Sonics.

With Ye Ye's current status in the NBA, it would be really big news if he and the Sonics fail to enter the playoffs.

At this time, those who like to watch the excitement will subconsciously ignore the great achievements of Xiao Yezi in the past.

reason?

If these people were really rational, how could there be so much fake news in the world every day.

These people now ignore these things.

As Rockets players, as players competing with Xiao Yezi, how could they ignore it!

"We don't have to worry about the outcome of the Seattle SuperSonics and Heat right now. For us, if we want to enter the playoffs, it's very simple, we need to beat the Mavericks!"

"No matter what the record of the Sonics and Heat is, defeating the Mavericks is the only thing we have to do!"

It's rare for Yao Ming to be so tough with the Rockets.

But his speech really strengthened the hearts of all Rockets players.

In such a situation, everyone will be very shaken.

Everyone also thinks a lot.

This is understandable, as long as it is human, it will be like this.

However, at this time, we need to be calm and firm.

Seeing that under Yao Ming's encouragement, Rockets players' faces became firm again, Rockets head coach Adelman also breathed a sigh of relief.

This season has been really unfriendly to the Rockets.

After losing in the playoffs last year, the assistant general manager who was the main culprit of the team's failure is still missing, with no one alive or dead. Some say he accidentally fell into the sea, and some say he committed suicide by jumping into the sea.

Anyway, after that, he never showed up again.

And this season, the Rockets were ambushed by several teams in the Eastern Conference at the beginning of the season. After losing a few games they shouldn't have lost, they could never turn around.

Facing the Eastern Conference teams, especially those Eastern Conference teams that are not that strong, we really cannot lose!

Everyone is winning, but you are losing. Now you have to find the games you lost against the teams in the West with the teams in the West. How passive is that!

They have worked very, very hard. Even the Rockets were the team with the best record in the league in the second half, but they were still a little behind and still couldn't take back the initiative.

Although according to outside public opinion, the Rockets' chance of entering the playoffs is 90%, they are really afraid of the 90% figure. Last season, their probability of defeating the SuperSonics in the playoffs was also 90%!

But what about in the end?

The final championship was the Seattle SuperSonics!

"James, why do I feel that you have become very, very excited since you came to Miami?"

"Huh? Do you? Do I? Mark, don't taint someone's innocence!"

James Harden, who was in the hotel, quickly stuffed the swimming trunks he was about to take out into his suitcase.

I, James Harden, am a serious person. How could I be excited because I came to Miami? There are many beeping girls on the beach here!

I, James Harden, am the kind of person who likes big PP ladies!

"James, this is the moment of war. I advise you to stay focused. If you are undercover in this game, think about Serge's recent experience."

Gasol reminded his roommate seriously.

Hearing Gasol's reminder, James Harden felt his PP go cold.

Ibaka's life has not been very good recently.

Ever since everyone's attention has been focused on the SuperSonics' record.

Ibaka has become a target of criticism from fans and the media.

According to the coconut flour and coconut flour media, if the Seattle SuperSonics fails to enter the playoffs this season, Ibaka will be blamed for his death!

James Harden doesn't think there's anything wrong with the coconut and coconut media blaming Ibaka for the Sonics' poor record this season.

In fact, Ibaka does need to be responsible for the team's current record.

Although the entire team can see Ibaka's progress, Ibaka's progress was obtained by Yes in exchange for the team's record, and there is no problem with this.

Even Ibaka himself admits this problem.

Therefore, he is the hardest-working person in the SuperSonics besides Yes, and he is also very grateful to Yes and the team.

"I heard that Serge has taken the initiative to find Mr. Nelson and wants to step down from the starting position?"

James Harden looked at Gasol in a low voice and asked.

"Serge did apply to step down from the starting position, but Serge's starting position is not something that Mr. Nelson can decide."

Gasol shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Yes strictly rejected Serge's request to leave the starting lineup. At the same time, Yes also rejected Kevin's request to come back early."

James Harden was shocked to hear Gasol's words.

Yes, rejected Ibaka's request to leave the starting lineup?

According to the current situation of the SuperSonics, Yes should not accept Ibaka's request naturally. This will only sacrifice Ibaka's present and future, and will not lose his face.

Because now both the coconut media and the coconut black media around the world want to see Ibaka leave the starting lineup.

The coconut media hope that Ibaka will leave the starting lineup and Durant will return, so that the Sonics may still have a glimmer of hope.

And what about coconut black media? Ibaka is still starting. Even if the Heat beat the Sonics, the Heat still won a little bit.

Since we are humiliating Yes, why can't we humiliate Yes even more speechlessly and more viciously?

Therefore, if Yes takes advantage of the situation and replaces Ibaka at this time, and then replaces Durant, it will definitely get unanimous approval.

But……

In the end, Yes refused...

"It's not like you don't know Kevin's game status. It's really not the right time for Kevin to come back now."

Hearing Marc Gasol say this, James Harden wanted to laugh.

In the past, he always felt that Rondo was the strongest player on the team.

Until... Durant comes back...

In the team's training games, Durant is really iron!

According to the team's statistics, Durant's shooting percentage in training games was not even 30%!

Not only is it iron, but there are also a lot of mistakes.

When dribbling, he either hits his feet or drops the ball.

Seeing Durant like this, many coconut reporters on the sidelines really shook their heads.

He knows that many coconut media are privately wondering whether Durant is useless.

The reason why the coconut media wants Durant to come back is because they think Durant is better than Ibaka even if he is useless.

And many black media probably feel that a useless Durant is no longer something to be afraid of, and is even just enough to add another medal to James.

After all, Durant is useless, but he is still the league's scoring leader, the league's second-team player, and the league's All-Star starter.

After Durant starts, the SuperSonics' starters will be Milicic, Millsap, Durant, Yes and Rondo. Four All-Star players are starting, and the Heat are also starting four All-Star players, Chandler, Bosh, James, Ben Gordon and Wade.

Therefore, these black media are really shameless.

There are also four All-Stars. Are All-Stars and All-Stars the same thing?

You four All-Stars are all-stars at the head player level of the four teams.

Our four All-Stars grew up from a bunch of trash brought out by Yes.

Isn’t this bullying?

"Anyway, James, be careful. Don't get too excited before the game against the Heat and lose your strength during the game. If that happens..."

"Don't worry Mark, I won't do it. Aren't you still worried about my character as James Harden?"

Looking at the honest smile on James Harden's face and looking at the tucked-in swimming trunks, Marc Gasol felt that he was really worried.

This kid is really addicted to that thing, and he can't change it at all, and he is addicted regardless of the occasion!

However, he reminded him, and there was nothing he could do whether James listened or not. He had done his best, okay?

What's more, he said that James should not go undercover in this game against the Heat, and he himself should not go undercover. The Heat's insiders are really strong!

"We have now reached the last mile. If you are willing to give up, I will not give up."

"No matter what the outcome is, no matter what the world is like, since I have chosen to trust you, I will always choose to trust you."

"You don't have to do anything else, just stand on the court and give it your all regardless of the result. That's what I want to see you do."

"Serge, don't let me down."

Marc Gasol and James Harden walked out of the room and saw Ibaka walking out of Yeez's room.

Looking at Ibaka standing at the door of Yes with his fists tightly clenched at this time, Marc Gasol and James Harden originally wanted to say hello, but in the end they couldn't say anything.

The two of them saw Ibaka bow deeply in front of the door, then gritted his teeth and left without looking back.

Seeing Ibaka's blank back become extremely determined, Harden and Gasol looked at each other in confusion.

April 14, 2009, American Airlines Arena, Dallas.

When the game between the Mavericks and the Rockets ended, and when the big score on the scene read 101 to 106, the entire press box in the arena exploded after a moment of silence!

And James, who had been standing in front of the TV, also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ignorant guy!"

James secretly cursed Nowitzki and Afflalo, who went all out in this game.

But waste is waste after all!

So what if you go all out!

It was different, but it still set up a perfect stage for me!

The wheel of history will not change because of the little man's mantis!

Looking at the Western Conference record table on TV, James's eyes exuded an incredibly fascinating light!
