Chapter 725 Who Can Withstand This? !

"After the Seattle SuperSonics won the championship last season, did any of you think that the Seattle SuperSonics would have to compete with the Minnesota Timberwolves for a playoff spot this season?"

"The Seattle SuperSonics led by Yes need to compete with the Minnesota Timberwolves for a playoff spot. This is a magical thing, but this magical thing is happening now!"

As the head coach of the Timberwolves, Randy Whitman himself did not think that the game between the Timberwolves and the SuperSonics would have such a meaning.

Competing with the defending champion Seattle SuperSonics for a playoff spot.

This seems like a joke.

But this is a fact. The Timberwolves, the Trail Blazers, and the SuperSonics are considered by the media across the United States to be the three most favorable competitors for the eighth place in the Western Conference.

So this game with the SuperSonics is a game that counts as two games.

With Yes's strength and the current level of other players of the Seattle SuperSonics, if Yes is not immersed in the sadness of missing Durant and desperately treats Ibaka as Durant, the Timberwolves will have no chance.

Not only the Timberwolves have no chance, the Trail Blazers also have no chance to compete with the Seattle SuperSonics for the eighth place in the West.

Even the Seattle SuperSonics can't be the eighth in the West, but should be in the top five in the West!

But there is no way, the whole world knows that Yes is a very stubborn player.

And the whole world also knows that Yes has supreme status and authority in the Seattle SuperSonics.

As long as he decides, no one else in the world can change it.

So, after the first game of this season, Seattle fans and coconut powder began to laugh at themselves, they were ready to enter the playoffs in the eighth place in the West.

"This year's Mavericks are very strong, it seems that the Mavericks will be the first in the West again. If we are the eighth in the West, maybe something wonderful will happen in the playoffs, hahahaha."

"Brothers in Seattle, we Dallas are too weak, let the first place in the West go to San Antonio next door, we just want to enter the playoffs again, the first place in the West, really don't have this idea."

This is the self-mockery of the SuperSonics fans and Mavericks fans on the Internet.

From this, we can see how big the scars caused by the SuperSonics sweeping the black eighth last season to the Mavericks fans.

Even now, when the Mavericks fans hear about the Supersonics and Yes, they are timid and submissive, and they don't have the Mavericks' current NBA heavy punch posture.

At this point, the Spurs fans are much more confident.

"The Spurs are the first in the Western Conference this season, come and make a comeback if you have the guts!"

"Yes, how many times in a row have you failed to hit 50% in front of Bruce? The great Bruce is waiting for you in the Holy City!"

Because the Seattle Supersonics' record this season is likely to be the eighth in the Western Conference, the entire league is now complaining about who will play against the Supersonics in the first round.

Compared with the fear of the Mavericks fans, the Spurs fans and Bowen fans are obviously more domineering.

With Yes's current status in the league, the only people who dare to shout directly in front of Yes and want Yes to be defeated, and the crazy coconut powder on the Internet dare not talk back, I am afraid that only the Spurs and Bowen fans are.

As the strongest defensive player in history, Bowen is the only player in the entire league who can defend Yes alone.

Bowen's fans and Spurs' fans are the only fan groups that can shout in front of coconut powder.

Judging from the complaints of fans of various teams on the Internet, even if the Seattle Supersonics may not make it to the playoffs this year,

most fans of the teams still expect the Seattle Supersonics to make it to the playoffs.

After all, although the fans of these teams are not as domineering as the Spurs fans, who doesn't want to sacrifice the strongest player in history!

Especially recently, some inside information about Durant has come out. Although his surgery was very successful, the time for full recovery has also become longer. It is very likely that Durant will not be able to catch up in the first round of the playoffs.

It's actually nothing for the Supersonics to not have Durant. Even if there is no Durant, didn't Yes lead the Supersonics to the Western Conference Finals?

The key is that the Seattle Supersonics don't have Durant, but they have Ibaka!

This is completely different.

Fans of other strong NBA teams expect the Supersonics to be eighth in the West, but this requires asking him and his Timberwolves if they agree!

Looking at Ibaka, the No. 28 player of the Seattle Supersonics on the court.

Randy Whitman's face was smiling.

His tactical system with Yi Jianlian as the core in the Timberwolves is best at hitting the opponent's defensive black hole!

His tactical system in the Timberwolves is a tactical system that virtualizes the core. Yi Jianlian is the core, but as the core, Yi Jianlian is an auxiliary when cooperating with Jefferson. Yi Jianlian uses his offensive comprehensiveness to assist Al Jefferson in offense and maximize Jefferson's offensive ability.

The same is true when Yi Jianlian cooperates with Gay, Mayo, and Randy Foye, helping Gay, Mayo or Randy Foye to maximize their ability to liberate themselves.

Other teams know that Ibaka is a loophole, but if they want to catch Ibaka's loophole, they need to worry about other players of the Supersonics to help, but the Timberwolves have no such concerns.

Under the Timberwolves' tactical system, the Seattle Supersonics have no one to help!

Yi Jianlian, who has no offensive weaknesses, will attract all those who want to help to his side.

In the preseason, he tried it when facing the Supersonics, and the effect was outstanding!

Gay almost beat Ibaka out of a psychological shadow!

So, didn't you see that Gay was so excited after the game started?

On the court, Gay's state today was indeed quite excited.

In the Timberwolves' virtual core system, when Yi Jianlian assists him, he holds the ball and plays a pick-and-roll system with Yi Jianlian.

He actually doesn't need to play a pick-and-roll with Yi Jianlian to eat Ibaka one-on-one.

As long as he sits in the low position, he can crush Ibaka in ten thousand ways.

But when he sits in the low position, he enters the defense of the two powerful inside players of the Supersonics.

And if he plays Ibaka on the outside, he needs to consider the offensive hit rate of the outside.

With Yi Jianlian's cooperation, it's completely different. Yi Jianlian can protect him and help him contain the Sonics' inside line, so that he can use various angles and various means to play with Ibaka with peace of mind.

Gay's performance on the offensive end in the past two seasons is very good, and his offensive skills are also being continuously improved.

Now Gay, in Yes's eyes, is more and more like an offensive kaleidoscope.

After bullying Ibaka twice in a row, this time Millsap chose to switch positions with Ibaka.

Ibaka was bullied too badly by Gay!

Millsap really couldn't stand it.

But...

Millsap, who was about to protect Ibaka, saw Gay pass the ball back to Yi Jianlian, and then saw Yi Jianlian shake Ibaka with a realistic fake move, and then went directly to the basket to meet Milicic's defense from the side and dunked the basketball into the basket fiercely!

"Too fast!"

Looking at Yi Jianlian, who was hanging on the basket with an extremely firm look in his eyes, Milicic's face was very ugly.

His help defense just now was actually a threatening help defense, which had no effect. If the offensive player had a soft personality, he might be scared, but... he was Yi Jianlian, the brave man who dunked Anthony in the Olympics!

Ibaka was defeated too easily by Yi Jianlian!

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Yi Jianlian's offensive fake moves just now were too realistic.

As the core inside player of the Seattle Supersonics, one of Milicic's important jobs is to understand and study the famous inside players in the league.

Yi Jianlian is the famous inside player he needs to understand.

Yi Jianlian's offensive ability is absolutely first-class among the inside players in the league. He had comprehensive skills before, and now he has both courage and perseverance.

It's normal that Ibaka can't stand such a player.

Milicic is not defending Ibaka, and he doesn't have the slightest intention of defending Ibaka now.

He is even complaining in his heart now, if you can't stand Gay, you can't stand Yi Jianlian, who can you stand?

Go to defend Mayo and Randy Foye?

Old Nelson is very clear about Ibaka's current defensive loopholes.

He is very helpless about Ibaka. His talent is really strong, but his basketball experience is really blank!

Maybe the Supersonics were right to select Ibaka with the 28th pick. What was wrong was that he and the team should let Ibaka study in Spain for a year!

The biggest difference between European basketball and American basketball is that it can better teach a blank-paper player's basketball philosophy and experience, and can make a seemingly idiotic player smart.

However, Ibaka has no chance to stay in Europe because the team's starting small forward Durant is injured. The team needs a small forward. Even if Ibaka's flaws are obvious, the team needs to scratch this lottery ticket.

Although it is not the final result now, it seems that it has failed...

If the team's record really falls outside the playoffs one day, then even if Yes still supports Ibaka to start, he will...

Old Nelson did not think about it further, but his fists were already clenched tightly together.

In this game, if the Seattle Supersonics lose to the Timberwolves, the team will fall out of the top eight, and he needs to act!

Ibaka can't defend Yi Jianlian or Gay.

When the Supersonics put Ibaka in front of Mayo and Randy Foye, it also proved that Ibaka couldn't defend Mayo and Randy Foye.

Yi Jianlian's way of assisting Mayo is the same as assisting Gay.

Because Mayo and Gay are both very good in singles.

But the cooperation between Yi Jianlian and Randy Foye is not Yi Jianlian assisting Randy Foye in singles.

Yi Jianlian assists Randy Foye in organizing the whole team.

Randy Foye does not take the main attack task, which seems to cause the least damage to Ibaka.

But in fact, the situation is just the opposite.

Randy Foye does not take the main attack task of the team, but Randy Foye is fast. With the help of Yi Jianlian, he got rid of Ibaka, and the Timberwolves were truly five against four!

Ibaka does not have the ability to defend the point guard at all now, and how to participate in the team's defense system again after being gotten rid of by the point guard.

Finally, after the Seattle SuperSonics used Ibaka to defend the Timberwolves for a circle, they had no choice but to put Ibaka in front of Mayo again.

No, I can't defend any of them. If I defend any of them, I will be hurt madly. Since they are all hurt, let's find a relatively less painful one to hurt.

"The Timberwolves' tactical system is too good!"

After the game between the Seattle Supersonics and the Timberwolves started, the whole world saw how badly Ibaka was bullied by the Timberwolves.

This is not Ibaka's first game. Ibaka has played five games before.

The opponents of the Supersonics in these five games also knew Ibaka's loophole.

But no team has caught it as hard as the Timberwolves!

In the five previous opponents played by the Supersonics, Ibaka could find opportunities to defend the opponent's offensive weaknesses.

But facing the Timberwolves, the Timberwolves can find Ibaka in almost every offensive round!

Ibaka couldn't hide, he had nowhere to hide, and finally he could only lie down in front of Mayo and wait for death!

"The Timberwolves' virtual core tactical system can mobilize the maximum energy of each player on the offensive end."

"Yi Jianlian is too comprehensive on the offensive end!"

"Of course, the offense of other Timberwolves players is also quite outstanding!"

"The Timberwolves' virtual core tactics perfectly solve the problem of not having enough basketballs."

"This season, the Timberwolves' performance may not only be the eighth in the Western Conference!"

Even as a die-hard coconut powder, Barkley feels that the Timberwolves are really strong this season.

Even...

"Maybe it's not a surprise that the Timberwolves beat the Los Angeles Lakers this season..."

Barkley was quite shocked by the first half of the game between the Timberwolves and the Supersonics.

A young army just rose up in front of him!

And the speed and height of the rise shocked him.

Even if this Timberwolves was put in his era, this Timberwolves would definitely be a very competitive team!

Not to mention the top of the league, at least it can definitely be ranked in the top four of the division in the league.

It is a team that can compete for the divisional finals!

But such a team, in this era, can only work hard for a ticket to the playoffs.

"What a devilish era this is!"

Thinking of this, Barkley, a die-hard coconut fan, wailed for Yes.

If Yes was born in his era, he would probably be like Jordan, defeating all his opponents and winning consecutive championships.

But in this devilish era, there will be new strong enemies every season, and incredibly strong teams will rise every season.

The opponents seem endless, and they can never be defeated. Who can withstand this?

Even Jordan can't withstand it!

Huh? !

Just when Barkley was desperate, a crazy shout came from the Key Arena, which was originally suppressed by the Timberwolves and was out of breath.

Barkley looked at the court and his eyes shrank to the extreme.

The lights turned red...

The ball went in...

76 to 76!

The end of the half...

Looking at the Sonics No. 9 walking to the sidelines in the shocked eyes of Guy Mayo, Barkley and Kenny Smith were shocked.

Actually... withstood it? !
