Chapter 726: James' New Discovery and the Timberwolves' Choice!
In the half-time match between the Seattle Supersonics and the Timberwolves, everyone was attracted by the Timberwolves' gorgeous cooperation and Ibaka's miserable condition.
Even at this time, the audience sitting in front of the TV will subconsciously be focused on the Timberwolves by the TV commentary.
For the current Seattle Supersonics game, many Seattle fans and coconut powder are actually quite familiar with it. Whether it is the United States, China or other countries, it is almost an inherent program to madly criticize Ibaka during the commentary.
As long as Ibaka makes any mistakes and errors on the court, he will be caught and madly criticized.
In this case, as long as Ibaka's performance in the game is very miserable, the focus of the whole game will be on Ibaka.
This game between the Supersonics and the Timberwolves is definitely the worst game for Ibaka since he came to the NBA!
He was caught and criticized by the Timberwolves in every round, and every round he could be criticized by the commentators of various countries with the most disdainful language.
Although the audience in front of the TV also noticed that Yes had been scoring, compared with the difficult scores of Yes and the scores after the Timberwolves easily knocked down Ibaka, Yes's scores felt like a small boat about to be sunk by the wind and waves on the sea, and there was a danger of capsizing at any time.
There is no doubt that the general trend of this game is on the side of the Timberwolves, and the team in control of the situation is also the Timberwolves.
So the audience in front of the TV will subconsciously focus on the Timberwolves who are in control of the general trend. Coupled with the commentators' instigation, most of the audience in front of the TV think that the Seattle Supersonics may be finished in the half-time game!
They really didn't expect that at the last moment of the first half of the game, the scores of both sides were tied by the Seattle Supersonics!
And the one who tied the score was still that familiar figure, the familiar Supersonics No. 9!
The Timberwolves scored 76 points in the first half!
Yes scored 45 points in the first half!
Looking at Yes's technical statistics on TV.
The audience in front of the TV really felt stunned.
"Has Yes scored so many points in this game?"
Even the Heat players who were watching every game of the Supersonics were a little surprised at this time.
James paid close attention to Yes's performance. He watched every game of the Supersonics this season. He hoped to find some shortcomings of Yes in the game.
Of course, it was not the shortcomings of Yes's personal strength. The whole world knew that Yes's personal strength was perfect!
What he was looking for were some weaknesses in Yes's playing style.
For example, knowing that Ibaka was a defensive loophole, he still let Ibaka play enough time in every game.
Knowing that Ibaka had no offensive ability, he still passed the ball to Ibaka again and again.
These are all Yes's weaknesses that can be used.
Didn't Anthony use this weakness of Yes and Roy to kill Yes and Roy in the Garfield Five Tigers period?
He didn't have the opportunity to use it before. This season, he can use it like other teams in the league.
It's just...
Listening to the exclamations and shocks of his teammates around him, James' face was a little solemn.
His teammates didn't notice the abnormality in Yes's data in this game.
Unlike the previous five games, Yes didn't pass the ball to Ibaka much in this game!
In previous games, every time Yes jumped up, most of the time he chose to pass the ball to Ibaka,
But in this game, most of the time when Yes jumped up, he chose to attack himself!
Yes's choice made James feel a little bad.
In other words, unlike Durant, Yes doesn't necessarily let Ibaka shoot 30 times or more than 20 times in every game!
In other words, although Yes is addicted to the years with Durant, he can recover from this state of addiction!
In other words, since Yes can recover from his addiction to Durant on the offensive end, he can naturally recover from this state of addiction on the defensive end!
Wait? !
Just when James thought of this, watching Yes patting Ibaka's shoulder on the TV when he left the court, the expression on James' face kept changing.
"Yes doesn't treat Ibaka as Durant!"
"Yes is definitely not indulging in his feelings for Durant!"
Thinking of this, James looked at the figure of the Supersonics No. 9 on TV, and the expression on his face had become very incredible.
"LeBron, are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
James shook his head blankly. Facing Wade's concern, he still looked at Yes on TV with an incredible face.
I didn't treat Ibaka as a substitute for Durant, that is, Yes is sincerely training Ibaka!
That is to say, Yes really thinks Ibaka can be trained? !
After being shocked, James' shocked eyes instantly turned into joy!
Although the Heat formed an invincible Heat Big Five team.
But James still has a little entanglement or fear in his heart.
That is, suppose, suppose the Seattle Supersonics finally entered the playoffs in this state this year.
And they broke through the first round in the first round of the playoffs, and welcomed Durant's efforts.
And finally, with the performance of Yes and Durant, they finally made it to the finals, so what should they do?
With the current strength of the Heat, he certainly will not be afraid of any team, and he is even willing to meet Yes in the finals.
But there is no doubt that the Sonics with Yes and Durant are very strong!
Before the start of this season, he didn't think the Sonics were that strong.
But after the start of this season, look at the other players of the Sonics.
Rondo, averaging a triple-double!
Milicic and Millsap, the league's card double evil!
Add Yes and Durant, there is no doubt that the Sonics with a complete lineup have a chance to beat the Heat. Although the probability of beating the Heat is less than 20%, it is still a threat to the Heat.
James doesn't like such threats!
He's tired of being threatened!
He likes the joy of being able to crush his opponents!
Of course, he hopes that Yes and the Seattle Supersonics will be as weak as possible when facing them.
However, Durant's contribution will replace Ibaka's position, which is still a huge haze.
And now, such haze has disappeared!
"Even if Durant pays, Ibaka will not lose his position!"
"Even!"
James even thinks that Ibaka may replace Millsap's position for some time when facing them!
Wade, who has been paying attention to James beside him, is also a little confused when he sees the changing expression on his good brother's face at this time.
Is there anything special about this game?
Why is LeBron shocked and happy at the same time?
Is it because of the strong strength shown by Yes in this game?
Thinking of this, Wade also got excited.
Sure enough, LeBron is also a person who is willing to challenge strong enemies like me!
The stronger the enemy, the happier!
Unfortunately, we accidentally formed a Big Five team, and no enemy is as strong as us...
Although this is a pity, Yes's strong strength still poses a huge threat to the Heat!
"I like to see Yes strong!"
"The stronger Yes is, the more excited I am, LeBron, are you the same?"
Wade is very excited.
"..."
James is silent.
Redick and the Heat players around him were looking forward to it.
At this time, Yes certainly didn't know the current situation of the Heat players in San Antonio.
Now Yes's brows were always frowning.
Yes's frown had been like this since the end of the first half of the game.
According to Barkley.
"Yes is very worried now. He has already scored 45 points in the first half, but he is still just filling the hole that Ibaka has dug!"
Yes certainly didn't frown because of Ibaka.
Ibaka was beaten by all kinds of opponents on the court, which was what Yes wanted to see.
Training couldn't give Ibaka more experience, but being beaten by all kinds of opponents on the court could make Ibaka's body and mind learn to think together.
After so long training Ibaka, he believed that Ibaka was a very smart player.
What made Yes frown now was that he had used the saved 96 touch value in this game.
In the first half, although the Timberwolves' defense against him was very strict, it was not to the extreme.
But he still only scored 45 points in the first half.
The Timberwolves have very high tactical literacy, and although his touch value of 96 cannot be said to be low, it seems that he is still a long way from scoring 100 points against such a strong team.
Yes could have scored more points in the first half.
But Yes did not do that.
He could not alert the Timberwolves.
If the Timberwolves bullied Ibaka so much, they could not keep the lead, but were always in a stage of catching up, then the Timberwolves would naturally be alert, and would naturally look for the root of why they were like this, and would naturally change the focus of their game from bullying Ibaka to defending him.
He had to score 100 points in this game, but he could not alert the Timberwolves, which was a very difficult task.
If the Timberwolves did not want to beat the Supersonics very much, he had already scored 45 points in the first half, and the Timberwolves would have shot him in the second half anyway!
Even if the Timberwolves wanted to beat the Supersonics and him very much, now he had scored 45 points in the first half, would the Timberwolves take back more energy from the offensive end and put it on the defensive end in the second half?
It is possible.
For teams like the Warriors and the Bucks, that is 100% possible, but for the Timberwolves, this possibility is relatively much smaller.
This is also the reason why Yes is willing to try to use the 96 touch in this game.
How much the Timberwolves want to win this game determines the Timberwolves' choice in the second half!
As an offensive team, when the Timberwolves choose to give up their advantage and shrink, it means that the Timberwolves have begun to want to give up the victory of this game!
Although Yes was frowning after the half-time game, Yes was calculating what the Timberwolves' final choice would be, but to be honest, Yes was still very much looking forward to the Timberwolves' choice this time.
"OJ, Rudy, you guys did a great job limiting Yes in the first half. Yes made many amazing shots, but we still took the initiative in the game. I absolutely don't believe that Yes can still have such an amazing touch in the second half!"
"In the second half, we still have to tear Ibaka apart and tear apart the Supersonics. Our goal in this game is to win!"
"Win!"
"Win!"
"Win!"
After the third quarter started, Yes's frown finally relaxed after the first half.
"After the second half started, the Timberwolves did not make any targeted arrangements for Yes's performance in the first half!"
Barkley was surprised, while Kenny Smith on the side was a little disdainful.
Of course!
Whitman, the Timberwolves' head coach, is not a fool!
The game was so good, why give up the chance to win?
Besides, the Timberwolves had no problem defending Yes in the first half, and Yes did not have many easy scoring opportunities in the first half.
It can be said that most of Yes's scores in the first half were extremely difficult to score with super touch and super personal ability.
Such scores are difficult to sustain.
Yes's strength makes it very incredible that he can maintain such a high-difficulty score for half a game.
It is impossible to keep it up, even for Yes!
"Although Yes has scored 75 points in three quarters, the Timberwolves are not the Raptors. The defensive quality of the Timberwolves' perimeter defenders led by Gay is quite outstanding."
"As long as the Timberwolves' defense does not collapse, Timberwolves head coach Whitman does not need to change his effective tactics!"
Kenny Smith's commentary is quite professional, even if Barkley wants to argue, he doesn't know how to do it.
In fact, the game is indeed proceeding according to Kenny Smith's guess.
As long as Ibaka is still on the court, the Timberwolves have been focusing all their energy on this matter against Ibaka.
In the first half of the game, the Timberwolves used Ibaka to score a super high 76 points in the first half!
In the third quarter, the Timberwolves scored 40 points again, and the Timberwolves scored a terrifying 116 points in three quarters!
"The Seattle SuperSonics' defense is terrible!"
"No, it's Ibaka who is terrible!"
116 points in three quarters, this is not the highest loss of an NBA team in three quarters. The SuperSonics are definitely not the worst team in three quarters, but Ibaka is definitely the worst player in three quarters!
"If it were me, even if the coach continued to let me stay on the court, I would choose to leave the court. This is no longer a game, this is humiliation!"
"Just..."
The fans who had been watching this game in front of the TV watched the data on TV again when they came back to their senses from the scene of Ibaka being humiliated by the Timberwolves.
At the end of the third quarter, the SuperSonics were 1 point behind the Timberwolves 115 to 116.
And Yes...
"Another single quarter of 30+, another three quarters of 75 points?!"
Kobe, who had been holding an unlit cigar in his hand, stood up with his eyes wide open looking at the data on TV!
