Chapter 757 Hexagonal Tactics and Hexagonal Warriors!

On December 14, 2008, the Seattle SuperSonics visited Dallas to challenge the Mavericks.

This game was the last game of the Seattle SuperSonics' three-game road trip to the southwest. After defeating the Spurs, the outcome of this game had no positive or negative impact on the Seattle SuperSonics' ranking in the West.

If they lose, they will not be surpassed by the Timberwolves, and if they win, they will not surpass the Rockets and the Suns. It can be said that the Seattle SuperSonics are in a relatively good position now.

The game with the Spurs not only raised the reputation of Yes and Bowen, but also gave the media and fans across the United States a lot of topics, and also put the current Seattle SuperSonics in a very good position temporarily.

Although this game with the Mavericks has no impact on the ranking of the SuperSonics this season, the Seattle SuperSonics still want to win this game.

Of course, the Seattle SuperSonics want to win this game, and the Mavericks also want it.

"It's not easy, we have risen again!"

For the Mavericks, this time it was really hard, they rose again.

After being swept by the Seattle SuperSonics in the 2006-2007 season, Mark Cuban, as the owner of the Mavericks, really didn't expect the team to rise so quickly.

He really didn't adapt to it a little bit.

In the past two years, he went from being criticized by the media all over the United States to being criticized by the media all over the United States, and then back to being criticized by the media all over the world this season. This really gave Mark Cuban a dreamlike feeling.

Of course, although this season has returned to the state of being criticized by the media all over the world, Mark Cuban is really not so arrogant after that black eight. At least, he knows that there are some people who really can't be messed with.

For example, Yes!

I don't know if it's the shadow of the last black eight, Cuban is very disdainful of the Heat Big Five, and he has mocked the Heat Big Five and James in the media.

But when the SuperSonics were mocked hard some time ago, he actually held back.

This time, the Seattle SuperSonics played three consecutive away games in the southwest, and Cuban didn't make any strange remarks.

To be honest, the Seattle Supersonics actually have a little bit of good feelings towards Mark Cuban, the boss who is hated by the entire league.

This guy is a weirdo, yes.

But this guy is really broad-minded.

In the 2006-07 season, the Seattle Supersonics swept the Mavericks in the playoffs, pressed the Mavericks to the ground and rubbed them crazily, taking turns to rub.

With such a failure, Mark Cuban, who is so arrogant and proud, should have caught the traitor in the Mavericks.

After all, the main reason why the Mavericks were swept in the black eight was that old Nelson was too familiar with the Mavericks.

But what is quite surprising is that Mark Cuban did not catch the traitor in the Mavericks. The boss Nowitzki, other players of the team, and even the Mavericks head coach, General Johnson, were not fired because of Cuban catching the traitor, but General Johnson himself was going to catch the traitor in the Mavericks and was taken away by Mark Cuban.

If General Johnson did not catch the traitor in the Mavericks, it would have ruined the family-like team atmosphere of the Mavericks. Maybe the head coach of the Mavericks is still General Johnson now.

After all, the Mavericks' star player is still Nowitzki, and the Mavericks' general manager is still Nelson Jr. One of them is Nelson's direct disciple and the other is Nelson's direct son.

So, even Yes, when he got some information about the Mavericks' internal situation from Afflalo and Kwame Brown, he had a new understanding of Mark Cuban.

This man is definitely a great boss who is no worse than Bill Gates.

The Dallas Mavericks and the Seattle Supersonics also have a deep hatred. The shame of sweeping the black eight is really higher than the sky and deeper than the sea for the Mavericks, but the people of the Dallas Mavericks and the Seattle Supersonics have a very complicated plot.

Before the game started, Nowitzki personally ran to Nelson and greeted him respectfully, and the second-in-command of the Mavericks, Afflalo, jumped and laughed and ran to Yes to show his IQ.

In addition, on the Seattle SuperSonics side, Yes also represented the Seattle SuperSonics and put the championship ring on the hands of Kwame Brown, who is now the starting center of the Mavericks with a big contract.

When Yes personally handed the championship ring to Kwame Brown, the entire Mavericks home court fans were cheering wildly.

And Nowitzki, Trijosh, Howard, Monta, Alice, Afflalo and others on the Mavericks bench were envious and yearning.

"Kwame, thank you for your efforts for Seattle and the SuperSonics last season. You are a great champion."

Looking at the ring on his hand and the smile on Yes's face, Kwame Brown is really excited now, so excited that his hands are shaking, his cheeks are red, and even tears in his eyes are flowing out.

Being traded to the Seattle SuperSonics by the Lakers last season really changed his fate.

Originally, he thought he had completely lost confidence beside Kobe and left the field sadly. When he was most desperate, someone pulled him out of the abyss of sinking to the bottom of the sea.

The championship, the big contract, and the extremely high status as a championship player in the Mavericks this season, coupled with the status given to him by the head coach and teammates, allowed him to play data in the Mavericks that he had never played in his career.

Averaging 11 points, 10 rebounds, 1.8 blocks and 1.5 steals per game, he not only played the best performance of his career on the defensive end, but also on the offensive end, after he completely regained his confidence, he even regained his mid-range shot, which was not very good but not that bad.

His current situation in the NBA is completely different from his situation in the NBA a year ago.

Now he seems to be reborn!

"Yes, thank you!"

This is the most sincere words Kwame Brown has said in his life, more sincere than when he was asked about the comparison between Yes and Jordan in an interview, he blurted out: "It seems that he can kill in one second?"

Nowitzki and the Mavericks players greeted old Nelson.

Yes and Afflalo reminisced before the game.

Yes gave Kwame Brown a championship ring.

These pre-game plots created a lot of warm atmosphere for this focus battle.

However, this warm atmosphere ended at the beginning of the game when Milicic and Kwame Brown both jumped high in the center circle.

Seeing Milicic and Kwame Brown, who briefly became the protagonists of the court and jumped in the air, many old NBA fans in front of the TV will sigh.

Milicic, the worst second pick in the NBA.

Kwame Brown, the worst No. 1 pick in the NBA.

But now, both of them are championship centers, one is the absolute inside core of the current championship team, and the other is the inside core of the current first team in the Western Conference. The achievements of the two may be far from the world's expectations of them when they were drafted.

But, at least, both of them have gotten rid of the reputation of being a fake because of Yes.

Milicic and Kwame Brown were teammates last season, and the relationship between the two was not the kind of competitive relationship between David Lee and Millsap. The two were quite familiar with each other.

Kwame Brown didn't think about proving anything in front of Milicic, but at this time, he still wanted to let the world see his strength!

But in the end, Kwame Brown, who jumped up with a roar, still lost a little to Milicic, and the Seattle Supersonics got the first wave of the ball in this game.

"Defense!"

In the NBA, any team except the Spurs, if the center player does not prepare to return to defense during the jump ball but chooses to jump with Milicic, then he needs to be prepared for a fast break by Yes after the jump ball fails.

The moment Kwame Brown failed, Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle, a famous Yes expert in the league, yelled on the sidelines.

But...

Rick Carlisle only yelled excitedly once, and he couldn't yell the second time.

Because there was a Mavericks player on the court who had stood in front of Yes before he yelled, blocking Yes's fast break route!

"Afflalo?!"

Seeing Afflalo standing in front of Yes, the Mavericks fans who had just taken a breath of cold air breathed a collective sigh of relief like Carlisle.

"Yes, long time no see!"

Afflalo's eyes seemed to be glowing, and the scorching eyes that seemed to be real could even burn Yes.

"Yes, I have been waiting for this day for three years!"

"Now, it's time for you to see how much I have grown in the past three years!"

Afflalo did not choose to defend closely, but blocked Yes's advancing route, waiting for his teammates to slowly return to their defensive positions.

66...54...47...61...

Looking at Afflalo with a sunny smile on his face, and looking at the hand feeling value on the superstar system, Yes sighed.

"It is indeed smarter than before."

"Haha, that's right!"

"But..."

"But?"

Originally, Afflalo was curious about what Yes was blocking and wanted to say, but he saw his old opponent actively walking towards him.

Dong, Dong, Dong, the speed is very slow.

Yes, do you think it will be useful if you take the initiative to approach me? !

You will move forward, so I won't retreat?

When you push to the three-point line like this, my teammates will return to their positions, and I can get close to you!

So, Yes, it's useless!

I said, I am completely different from the past me now!

Afflalo's right leg had already made a retreating motion.

But?

Huh? !

Before Afflalo's right leg was completely on the ground, Afflalo's eyes, which had been staring at Yes, shrank rapidly.

Yes, who was walking slowly towards Afflalo, suddenly accelerated incredibly and passed through Afflalo's side!

How is this possible? !

"Still so easy to be knocked down."

A word floated in Afflalo's ears, and almost at the same time, his body supported by one leg seemed to be pulled back by a huge force.

Bang!

The Mavericks fans who were cheering for Afflalo just now were shocked to see that the new favorite of the team they were cheering just now fell to the ground like that!

Bang!

Yes, who broke through Afflalo, continued to pass through Josh Howard and Nowitzki who were not yet stable and completed a powerful dunk that made the whole stadium silent.

"Oh, My, God..."

"This is a forced fast break!"

"This is a forced fast break without any chance!"

"Afflalo's retreat was excellent and smart enough, but he still couldn't stop Yes's opening fast break!"

"In this world, as long as Yes is willing, no one can stop Yes's fast break!"

As the No. 1 team in the league this season, the Mavericks are certainly not a team without defense. The Mavericks have never been a team without defense.

This season, the Mavericks' Devin Harris was traded away, and the team's starting point guard Jamal Tinsley, who was traded from the Pacers last season, was injured and reimbursed for the season. The Mavericks' back line seemed to have problems.

But the appearance of Afflalo made up for all the problems of the Mavericks' back line.

Afflalo is a player who is considered by experts across the United States to have a potential of only 90, but he has fully practiced his offensive, defensive, organizational and other potentials, and has no shortcomings. Such a player can bring organization, defense, singles from the outside, and strength from the outside to the Mavericks' back line, which lacks everything.

It is because of Afflalo's complementary ability that he can partner with any guard, just like Yes of the Seattle Supersonics. Yes can force his small forward partner to become Pippen by partnering with any small forward.

According to many experts, the superstars with top skills in the league are very rare and invincible, but hexagonal warriors like Yes and Afflalo who can do everything are even more scarce and valuable.

It is also for this reason that Afflalo can be said to have received a lot of praise in his rookie season, and even many people are looking forward to the duel between the two hexagonal warriors Yes and Afflalo.

One is a hexagonal warrior with all six sides above 95.

The other is a hexagonal warrior with all six sides above 90.

What will the duel between these two be like? !

Many people are looking forward to it.

Especially when Afflalo appears on Yes's advancement route, these people who are looking forward to it are even more looking forward to it.

What they didn't expect was that Afflalo, who could have taken Nowitzki's position as the team leader this season if Cuban hadn't supported him, actually collapsed like this!

The Mavericks fans in the entire American Airlines Center were silent.

The Mavericks players on the entire court were silent.

It was the first time they saw Afflalo, who was omnipotent and knew everything on the court, so embarrassed.

But soon, these shocked and silent people showed incredible looks on their faces.

Because, the hexagonal warrior who was knocked down by Yes just now and collapsed with a loud bang actually...

"Hehe, hehe, hehehe..."

Hmm?

Seeing the guy who patted his butt and stood up and looked at his eyes becoming more excited, Yes was a little surprised.

"Yes, you really didn't let me down!"
