Chapter 117: Garfield's 5 Tigers (Five/Five) Going Separately
After the game against the Nets, November 23 is Thanksgiving in the United States.
There will be no NBA games on Thanksgiving this year.
Jess has been in the United States for so many years, and Thanksgiving has always been spent at the home of Garfield High School head coach Floyd.
Thanksgiving is considered a family reunion holiday in the United States.
He doesn't really care about this festival, so it doesn't matter if he spends it alone, but Coach Floyd is very enthusiastic.
Yees also saw Roy and Conroy on Thanksgiving, and Webster returned to Seattle.
"Yes, I am already a stable starter in the Trail Blazers!"
Webster was delighted to see Yees again.
He entered the NBA a year earlier than Yass, and now he is finally a starter for the Blazers.
There is no showing off or low self-esteem, just pure happiness and happiness, and I want to share it with my best friend.
Webster became the starter for the Blazers.
Will Conroy was the starting point guard for the Los Angeles Lakers passing the ball for Bryant.
Brandon Roy is the most important third star of the Rockets besides Yao Mai.
The economic companies of Dean Simmons and Anthony Washington are also on the right track with the support of Yees.
The friends who used to be together have begun to go farther and farther in their respective lives.
"You have embarked on a path that is not in my plan. I am very worried, but I am very relieved that you have gone further and further on the path you have chosen."
This year's Thanksgiving Day, Coach Floyd did not say anything to Ye Si and Roy. It's chicken soup for life.
"You are all grown up now, go to welcome your brand new life"
Today's coach Floyd is particularly grateful.
On the evening of November 23, Yeth, Roy, Conroy, Simmons, and Washington sat together in the basketball hall of Garfield High School after eating the Thanksgiving dinner.
Jess is in Seattle,
Although the NBA game is very busy, he can also come back often.
But Roy and Conroy haven't been back here for a long time.
"Six years..."
"Six years..."
The Washington State High School Championship pennant, which has been flying for six years, still looks brand new.
Did they think about their future six years ago?
"I want to be a superstar, a superstar in the NBA!"
That was the scene six years ago.
With the exception of Yeth, they all embarked on a path that was not planned.
The NBA schedule is very tight. If you say that you have a day off, it is a day off.
On the second day of Thanksgiving, the NBA rekindled the war. The Seattle SuperSonics defeated the Sacramento Kings at home and won three consecutive victories again this season.
For a "weak" team like the Sonics, it is not easy to win a three-game winning streak.
More actually depends on the schedule.
After defeating the Kings, the Sonics' record became 9 wins and 4 losses, and their ranking in the Western Conference once again rose from eighth in the Western Conference to sixth in the Western Conference.
The Seattle SuperSonics faced the Utah Jazz after the last three-game winning streak, and this time it was the Utah Jazz.
The Utah Jazz are the Seattle SuperSonics' rival in the Northwest Division.
According to the current NBA ranking rules, the top three divisions in the Western Conference automatically enter the top four in the Western Conference.
The top four rankings in the West are the first in three divisions and the second in the best division.
Compared with the fiercely competitive Southwest season, the Northwest Division is fairly mild.
Looking at the current posture in the West, no matter the Supersonics, Jazz or Denver Nuggets, any team that wins the first place in the division and enters the top four is the fate of a round trip.
The Rockets and Spurs in the Southwest Division are super strong. Now one is the first in the West and the other is the second in the West. The Suns in the Pacific Division will occupy the third place in the West after they get back on track.
The three teams in the Northwest Division are desperately trying to get the first place, and they will probably play the fifth-placed Dallas Mavericks in the end.
With the Rockets, Spurs, Suns and Mavericks in the West, other teams will feel hopeless.
According to the estimates of the American media, this year's Western Conference is likely to have four teams with more than 60 wins.
The Rockets, Spurs, Suns, and Mavericks are the four 60-win teams sitting there, and it doesn't matter where the other teams in the Western Conference rank in the playoffs.
Choosing an opponent is a matter at the end of the season. Before you want to choose an opponent, you must be able to ensure that you enter the playoffs.
"The Supersonics are much more difficult than the last game!"
The Jazz still won the game. With Matt Harprin and Derek Fisher scoring 32 points off the bench, the Utah Jazz beat the Seattle SuperSonics 110-101 away.
The Sonics' three-game winning streak was ended again, and the team that ended was the Utah Jazz.
Judging by the posture this season, the Jazz will be the Sonics' sufferer.
On November 26, the Seattle SuperSonics will face another bitter Orlando Magic at home.
The Orlando Magic performed very well this season. Before the game against the Sonics, the Magic had a record of 10 wins and 4 losses, ranking third in the Eastern Conference.
"I want to double kill Yes!"
Dwight Howard was excited after the game started.
This season, Milicic, who is almost invincible in jump balls, lost to Howard again in jump balls.
Howard's physical fitness can be called brutal at the center position.
Milicic served Howard as a substitute for Howard for half a season in the Magic last season, and Howard's familiarity with Milicic is also extraordinary.
Under the leadership of Howard, the Magic played very proactively at the beginning, and it was not at all obvious that they were playing away games.
In the last game against the Magic, Howard did a lot of damage to the Supersonics' dumping system.
Howard's defense on the inside forced Yeth and Rondo to operate on the perimeter.
In the end, the Sonics also lost miserably, leaving the field in a disastrous defeat in three quarters.
With such a good winning experience, Magic coach Brian Hill will certainly not let it go.
Brian Hill's plan for this game is to replicate the situation of the last time the two teams met.
No matter how strong Yes is, so what?
Under the shadow of Dwight, even Yes, who can light up the whole America, can only be dimmed!
Dwight is the most underrated young superstar in the league, his value is not below Yes and James!
The linebacker has an easy time playing with Howard.
On the defensive end, don't be afraid of breakthroughs, just stick to your opponent and leave it to Howard behind you.
That was the case with Magic guard Jameer Nelson last time out.
If it wasn't for Yes's high efficiency to win 20+5+5, he might be able to win the title of Yes Terminator.
It's not how good his defense is, but Howard's defense is so against the sky!
"Yes, today's condition is very good!"
It's not that Yes is in good condition, it's Milicic who helped Yes get Howard stuck!
Nelson Sr. saw more than Scott Brooks.
Milicic's hard work allowed him to contain Howard as much as possible even if he was not Howard's opponent.
This is Milicic's biggest role compared to before.
In the past, Milicic would not take the initiative to be cannon fodder for Yes!
