Chapter 889 James Is Very Annoying and Fierce Recently!
After the first game of the Western Conference Finals, the Los Angeles Lakers lost to the away Seattle SuperSonics 108-114 at home.
This much-anticipated Western Conference finals is indeed as exciting as many experts and media predicted before the game.
In this game, Yeas and Kobe both scored zero points in the first half, but in the second half, Kobe scored 40 points on 16 of 28 shots!
Kobe's 40 points in the second half broke Eric Floyd's playoff half-time scoring record.
On the other side, although Ye Si's scoring in the second half was not as explosive as Kobe's, he also scored 31 points in the half.
And he scored 31 points very efficiently.
Made 12 of 18 shots, with a hit rate of 66.66%!
More importantly, in addition to scoring 31 points in this game, Yes also contributed 17 assists and 11 rebounds.
The data of 31 points, 17 assists and 11 rebounds is still quite outstanding even for Ye Si.
Obviously, although Yes did not lead the team forward with his scoring like Kobe did.
But he did an even better job in scoring and organizing his teammates in this game.
Especially against Durant's organization.
In this game, Durant scored his highest score since his comeback. He shot 13 of 31 from the field and scored a SuperSonics game-high 34 points!
Score more than 30 points in more than 30 shots.
Compared to Kobe and Leafs, this is a rather inefficient offensive efficiency.
But for Durant.
But it didn't make the experts and Sonics fans at the scene feel ineffective.
"It smells bad!"
"KD finally has internal odor!"
Scored more than 30 times in more than 30 shots. This was what KD was like before his rise last season!
No matter how the game is or how the defense is, the shooting rate that can always reach over 40% is a familiar recipe with a familiar taste!
The current Durant still has not reached his peak offensive superstar status with the Rockets.
But in this game, Artest was able to get such data under the strict protection of Arizabatum and others, which at least proved that Durant is indeed not useless!
So after the first game of the Western Conference Finals between the Sonics and the Lakers, 2k10 officials released an official patch package almost at the same time, adjusting Durant's game rating from 76 to 83.
It can be seen that 2k officials put a lot of pressure on Durant, a former All-Star who struggled after returning from a serious injury, a second-team player in the league, and a Rookie of the Year rating of 76.
In fact, 2k officials did encounter a lot of pressure.
After the release of 2k10, the NBA's number one fan, "Not fifteen, but second" almost every day criticized the official of 2k10 with online fans.
The official version of 2k was very uncomfortable.
2k officials actually felt that it was very unfair.
Durant's performance in that series with the Mavericks was really worth a rating of 76. Artest and Iguodala were just above 80. If you were an undercover player against the Mavericks, even if you were A former scoring champion, even a former second-teamer, and a former Rookie of the Year, do you dare to say that you are better than Iguodala and Artest?
You were indeed the stronger one when you played against the Rockets last season, but now, you really are not!
2k's official ability to withstand pressure is indeed strong, no matter whether it is timid or not, it just doesn't change.
After the game between the SuperSonics and the Lakers, Durant proved that he is still stronger than Artest,
2k officials took advantage of the situation and raised Durant's rating to 83, just surpassing Artest.
After the game between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Lakers, the Leafs and the SuperSonics were very relaxed.
The series with the Mavericks was really hard, too hard.
No joke at all.
The series with the Mavericks really gave these young players in the Sonics a sublimation. They felt like they had walked through the hell guarded by Nowitzki.
"The Lakers are also very strong, but I always feel that compared to the Mavericks, no matter how strong the team is, it can't be stronger, right?"
"I also have this feeling. Before playing the Mavericks, if I met the Heat, I might have some weakness in my legs. Now I feel that I will not have weakness in my legs when I meet any team."
James Harden, who was doubtful about his life after being beaten by Nowitzki, now even has some thoughts about the finals after this game.
Gasol is looking forward to James Harden's imagination but dare not say it.
His heart is really not as big as James'.
In the last round when we beat the Mavericks, we were beaten to death by the Mavericks together with everyone.
Start thinking about the finals now.
The contrast is a little too great.
In fact, although the game against the Lakers is over, experts and public opinion around the world have now increased the probability of the SuperSonics advancing from 50% to 70%.
But most of the SuperSonics players dare not underestimate the enemy.
This series with the Mavericks really scared them.
They are the championship, the defending champion, and now they are favored. They should be proud.
But the series against the Mavericks made them realize very clearly that their pride was nothing in the face of their true strength!
Nowitzki and the Mavericks have made a huge difference to the young players of the Supersonics.
This is why Yes sincerely thanks Nowitzki.
Yes really thanks Nowitzki.
After playing against the Spurs, and beating the so-called strongest Spurs in that way, coupled with the status of defending champions, although the Supersonics were not optimistic at the beginning, the young players of the Supersonics did have some form.
After playing against the Mavericks, no one was floating except Rondo.
The reason why Rondo can still float is not only because of his personality, but more importantly, he is indeed the only important rotation player of the Supersonics who has not been beaten by Nowitzki.
Yes himself has been beaten by Nowitzki, and he has also doubted his life by Nowitzki.
After the first game between the Supersonics and the Lakers, Yes and the players of the Seattle Supersonics can clearly feel that the public opinion environment around them has changed.
The previous prediction of 50-50 has now become 30-70. For this change, old Nelson and Yes had already predicted it when the game was still in progress.
Durant still hasn't fully recovered his form.
But in this game against the Lakers, Durant proved that his offense was not useless.
This is enough to be the turning point of this series.
The previous prediction of a 50-50 tie between the Supersonics and the Lakers was based on the prediction that Durant's offense was likely to be useless.
Now that it is not useless, the Supersonics' winning rate will certainly be improved.
So after the first game, the Seattle Supersonics could clearly feel that the mood of the Lakers fans in Los Angeles was falling rapidly.
In fact, at the post-match press conference after the game, the Lakers' head coach Phil Jackson was also in a very low mood.
The Lakers are indeed in a very, very dangerous situation now.
Many media have even started to hype the Supersonics' entry into the finals after the first game between the Supersonics and the Lakers.
"James vs. Yes!"
"Heat vs. SuperSonics!"
"When Yes and James meet in the finals, will James stab the Heat in the back for Yes?!"
If the Lakers enter the finals, the media around the world really won't expect the Lakers to beat the Heat.
The Cavaliers, who ranked first in the regular season, were slaughtered by the Heat in the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals.
The gap between the Heat's hard power and other teams is too big!
But the SuperSonics, this is really different!
James has a special feeling for Yes.
If James is not undercover, there is no problem for the Heat to beat the SuperSonics. The key is whether James may not be undercover?
So many coconut powder media are really looking forward to what will happen in the finals after the SuperSonics enter the finals.
Many coconut powder media are now imagining the finals.
But Yes and most of the SuperSonics players have not yet come out of the shadow of Nowitzki, and they are still very low-key and down-to-earth.
Especially Yes.
Others believe that James has a special feeling for him. James does have a special feeling for him, but it is definitely not the kind of special feeling that these people imagine.
He knew very well that James would never go undercover in the finals again.
James was almost done changing his style and rhythm.
Otherwise, with James's personality, he would definitely explode when facing the Cavaliers, but he would never be so unhesitating!
If he didn't complete the change of rhythm or the effect of changing his style of play was not good, if he didn't win the finals, he would definitely believe that it would be better for him to leave the Cavaliers. When facing the Cavaliers, he would have regrets and guilt in his heart. He would never be able to score 45 points in less than 30 minutes.
The Cavaliers' small forward position defense is very weak, no one can match James, but it is not that weak.
Just after the first game between the Supersonics and the Lakers ended, many coconut powder media hyped whether James might be undercover in the finals.
In the East.
James in the Ohio State University training hall looked very ugly.
Undercover Nima!
He has had a hard time recently.
This time when he came to Cleveland as a guest, he really felt the hatred of Cleveland fans for him.
Really hate!
Hate to the point that he and the Heat could not stay in Cleveland at all, but ran to the training hall of Ohio State University.
"I am the son of Akron. My lifelong dream is to win a championship for Akron and Cleveland!"
The words are still ringing in my ears!
These lofty words of his are still ringing in my ears!
But now, he has become the one who prevents Akron and Cleveland from winning the championship!
Helping Cleveland win the championship is his dream, he is not lying.
Even now, he has such a dream!
But now, he has become the biggest stumbling block for Cleveland to win the championship, this is also true.
In Cleveland's view, if it weren't for him, the Cavaliers led by O'Neal would definitely win the championship as long as they enter the finals!
The Cavaliers have an advantage whether they are against the Lakers led by Kobe or the Supersonics led by Yes.
O'Neal has a great advantage in the inside line against the Lakers and Supersonics, and the Cavaliers also have advantages in overall play and strength.
So, if it weren't for him, James and the Heat, the Cavaliers would be the biggest favorite to win the championship after the Spurs were eliminated!
There are even more extreme Cavaliers fans who think so.
If he hadn't shamelessly stabbed O'Neal last season, shamelessly disregarded the interests of the team and quarreled with O'Neal for his own interests, was jealous of O'Neal's historical status and league status, and was afraid that his position as the boss would be taken away, and worked without effort.
The Cavaliers could have won the championship last season!
Given O'Neal's strength, if he hadn't been undercover, wouldn't the Cavaliers be invincible? !
It can be said that in his favorite place, he seemed like a street rat!
He became a street rat in Cleveland, and even when he came to Cleveland, he didn't dare to return to Akron!
What is all this for?
It's for the championship!
If you can't win the championship, everything has no meaning!
Undercover? !
You can immerse yourself in your beautiful dreams!
You continue to YY now, and continue to argue with the 2k official whether Durant should be above 85.
When the finals really come, I will let you know that everything has no meaning!
When the finals come, I will let you know what is crushing and what is cruel!
On May 20, 2009, in the second game of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Cavaliers continued to face the Heat at home.
In this game, Yes and the Sonics continued to see a massacre on TV.
In the previous game, James scored 45 points in less than 30 minutes.
This game was not so brutal.
The whole game was "only" 39 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists.
But!
In fact, the entire fourth quarter of this game was still garbage time!
"Is this still the same James?"
Looking at the No. 6 of the Heat on TV, many Sonics players felt a little brutal.
This is really brutal!
Even old Nelson was surprised.
"This is the first time I have seen a player other than Yes who combines technology and body so perfectly..."
After taking their eyes off James, many Sonics players looked at Durant with sympathy in their eyes.
Look at it!
A bunch of cowards, Durant can't defend, do you think you can run away? !
Long Erye looked unhappy.
Should these rubbish be so narrow-minded?
After Nowitzki destroyed Millsap, Milicic and Gasol, will he let you guys go? !
Don't even think about it!
After the second game between the Cavaliers and the Heat, James and the Heat shocked the Supersonics.
If they really meet such an opponent in the finals, it will be really difficult.
With such a shock, on the second day, May 21, the Seattle Supersonics continued to play against the Los Angeles Lakers.
118 to 111!
The Seattle Supersonics won another away game!
The big score between the Supersonics and the Lakers was the same as the big score between the Heat and the Cavaliers, which became 2 to 0!
After the game, the coconut powder media that had hyped the finals in advance and was a little subtle, really couldn't hold it back anymore!
"We can now announce that the Heat and the Supersonics can consider the next opponent!"
