Chapter 953 Old Nelson's First Love

On the evening of November 6, 2009, at the Toyota Center in Houston.

It was raining heavily outside, but the atmosphere inside was unusually hot.

"Judging from the current atmosphere, the Houston Rockets don't look like a team that has encountered difficulties recently."

"Hahaha, this game is a special case. There may not be so many Houston Rockets fans at the scene. Most of them may come to see Yes, the Supersonics, and Rondo's pre-game shooting training."

After Barkley finished speaking with a smile, Kenny Smith, a former Rockets player, also smiled awkwardly.

As the best team in the league two seasons ago, the Houston Rockets' start this season is simply shocking.

With two superstars, Yao Ming and Roy, and good players like Gerald Wallace, Scola, Aaron Brooks, and Landry, this team actually ranked first in the West.

It really gives people a feeling of reverse Supersonics.

Looking at the Supersonics and then looking at the Rockets, it really gives people a feeling of thirty years in the east and thirty years in the west.

Of course, the two teams did not need thirty years to make such changes, or even three years.

"The Rockets' performance this season was very bad, and the Rockets' fans were very dissatisfied. They were dissatisfied with the fact that excellent players such as Artest, Ariza and McGrady were let go in vain. Although the team's overall framework is still there, it is difficult for you to accept that a team with 73 wins and 9 losses has become a team that lost all the games at the beginning of the season in just two seasons."

"Houston Rockets fans hope that the Houston Rockets can start again. Although there are not so many Houston Rockets diehard fans at this game, the Rockets fans who come here all hope that the Rockets can defeat the Supersonics and Yes and embark on a road to glory again."

"After all, last season, even if the Houston Rockets did not enter the playoffs, the Rockets' record against the Supersonics was still undefeated!"

"Rockets fans hope to continue the excellent record against the Supersonics last season into this season."

Kenny Smith, who was just confronted by Barkley, continued to speak unyieldingly.

When Barkley heard Kenny Smith talking about the record of the Rockets and the Supersonics last season, he wanted to laugh.

Can the Sonics this season be the same as last season?

Last season, the Sonics' small forward was Ibaka,

This season, the Sonics' small forward is Durant.

Last season, Rondo was the triple-double king, and this season, Rondo is the scoring champion.

Last season, Milicic was still a sturdy young man with a little meat, and this season, Milicic is a little fat with a little sturdy pork belly.

Last season, Millsap was still a humble and polite man who never forgot his humble origins, and this season, Millsap has become an inflated man who even Malone doesn't care about.

If you say that these two teams are completely different, there is no problem with either team.

Of course, compared with the drastic changes of the Seattle Supersonics, the Houston Rockets have really not changed at all compared to last season.

When the Rockets gave up Artest and Ariza, they had no intention of attacking the championship.

In the Western Conference Finals two years ago, after the Rockets were eliminated by the Seattle SuperSonics 2-4, the Rockets' players were not broken, but the Rockets' boss and management were broken.

In the past few years, so many teams have lost to the SuperSonics, and so many teams have been defeated by Yes and the SuperSonics' magic.

The Lakers, Mavericks, Celtics, Heat...

Almost every team is working hard to get better.

These teams all hope to reach the other side of their goals.

Only the Houston Rockets gave up on themselves.

The ambition of this team really made Barkley laugh and cry.

It's been ten years!

It's really been ten years!

The ambition of this Rockets is still so despised by him.

The Rockets are still living off the two championships of 9495.

However, this is not wrong. After all, the Rockets' boss and management are the creators of these two championships.

They have already been glorious.

Naturally, there is no such great motivation to pay such a great price to continue to be glorious.

These people are already dead bones in the grave.

It's just a pity for the motivated players of the Rockets now.

Yao Ming, Roy, Gerald Wallace...

These guys are really as unlucky as he was back then!

He wants to kill the enemy, but the teammates next to him are all successful and famous idiots!

Damn, that's a nightmare!

For such a team, as long as the team does not change the owner, management, fans, players and coaches, expect such a game to let them see the hope of the team winning the championship, and then make additional investments to pick up the fighting spirit?

That's impossible.

These idiots lose their temper faster than anyone else, and their spines are softer than anyone else!

Moreover, no kidding, the current Supersonics and the Supersonics of last season are two completely different teams.

The Rockets want to find confidence from the Supersonics, but they may have found the wrong opponent.

Barkley has full confidence in the Supersonics.

In fact, the Supersonics still attach great importance to this game with the Rockets.

Speaking of which, how many games have the Seattle Supersonics lost in the regular season against the Rockets?

Four games?

Eight games?

Or more than ten games?

No one on the Seattle SuperSonics will deliberately keep this data.

But in the regular season, the Supersonics basically never beat the Rockets.

The Rockets are the nemesis of the Seattle Supersonics, there is nothing wrong with that.

The main reason is that Yao Ming and the Rockets' inside players restrained the Supersonics' inside players too obviously.

As a mad scientist in the coaching world, although old Nelson now feels that the title of mad scientist is a bit unworthy of himself.

In the NBA, there are people who are crazier and more imaginative than him.

However, as a former mad scientist, the words mad and scientist together indicate flexibility.

Maybe he can't win every game, but his ability to solve problems is definitely the best.

Didn't he solve O'Neal's problem well with his disgusting method?

Although it was not completely solved, it also disgusted O'Neal.

But old Nelson really never solved Yao Ming's problem.

The front-circling tactics he adopted against Yao Ming pitted Yao Ming for less than a season, and it was cracked by Yao Ming's weight loss.

You know, he disgusted O'Neal for his whole life when he hacked the shark!

The forward move only disgusted Yao Ming for a season, and this will definitely not bring him pleasure.

As one of the most difficult problems to solve in the NBA, every time facing the Houston Rockets, Nelson is very excited.

This is one of the fun things that Nelson has always had in the NBA.

Solve the problems that others in the NBA can't solve.

Because of this, Nelson was even asked if he was interested in leaving the Supersonics to solve a problem called "Yes".

"I will not leave the Seattle SuperSonics for the rest of my coaching career."

"You all say I'm crazy, I am indeed a crazy person who likes to solve problems. I admit that I am crazy, but I have never been a fool. I will not solve the substitute who is destined to have no answer."

"Your substitute named "Yes" is unsolvable for others, and it is also unsolvable for me. I even understand the difficulty of this problem better than other people you know. The more I understand, the more I feel that this problem is unfathomable. This problem is beyond my boundaries. It will not bring me pleasure, but may only bring me pain."

"Everyone who knows me knows that I don't like to be a painful person. This is more painful than killing me."

Yes and the Seattle SuperSonics players have become very accustomed to seeing such a motivated old Nelson.

At the beginning, Yes and the SuperSonics players may still have expectations.

Now, there is really no expectation at all.

How many times has Yao Ming abused this?

When the Seattle SuperSonics and the Rockets meet, they may win.

But to say that Yao Ming's problem has been solved, it has never been done.

Why does Yao Ming have such a high status in the NBA now?

O'Neal, who always looked down on young people and thought that any young center was trash, even Howard, Oden and Bynum looked down on him, respected Yao Ming?

It's because this center is really strong!

The kind of invincible strength, as long as there is physical strength, it is really one-on-one.

He is so good in one-on-one, and now he is proficient in passing, defense, free throws, and even comedy.

Such a player, if not yellow skin, but black skin or white skin, is a god!

Of course, now that Yes has broken the prejudice of skin color by himself, Yao Ming is indeed a god-level player.

Among the respected opponents within the Supersonics.

The first one is Nowitzki, who tortured them to death in the playoffs and beat them through.

The second one, the first one before was Yao Ming, who tortured old Nelson to death, but old Nelson still regarded him as his first love.

"Dak, use your strength and skills to suppress Yao Ming in this game!"

"Don't have a shadow on Yao Ming, you are completely different now than you were before!"

Before the game started, seeing old Nelson cheering Milicic up, Yes and the Sonics players turned their heads away reluctantly.

If it wasn't old Nelson who was cheering Milicic up, Milicic would have wanted to get mad.

Damn it.

I believe it once or twice, and I believe it three times.

But boss, three times after three times, and three times after three times...

Not once, twice, three times, not even four, five, six, seven times...

This is more than ten times!

When facing Yao Ming, Milicic has developed the skill of automatically blocking old Nelson's voice.

Damn it, what am I different now than before.

Indeed, I am more powerful now. Although my athletic quality is declining, I was excellent in athletic quality before. Although it is a little worse than Bynum, I am still first-class among the big centers in the league.

In other words, his skills have not changed, his strength has increased, and his athletic ability has not decreased significantly when facing some second-tier centers, and he still has an advantage. It can be said that this season, when facing some weak centers, he is simply a killer of these weak centers.

But is Yao Ming a weak center?

Boss, don't joke!

If Yao Ming is the kind of weak center that I can easily bully, I will be so angry!

In his mind, Yes is his main god, and Yao Ming is his secondary god!

It can be seen from the jump ball between Milicic and Yao Ming in the center circle.

Milicic is really polite.

Every time he stands in the center circle with Milicic, Yao Ming feels completely different from those black opponents. He can't see any provocation or other stupid eyes in Milicic's eyes.

The eyes that look like you are my idol are almost able to speak directly.

The pork belly on Milicic's body has a great impact on his athletic ability.

How big is it?

Milicic used to be the four kings in the jump ball world.

But now, he was beaten by Yao Ming in the jump ball...

"Has Milicic won the jump ball this season?"

"Yes, the center Gortat of the Trail Blazers lost to him."

Kenny Smith wanted to complain, but Barkley pushed him back like this, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

He even beat Gortat, so strong...

Yao Ming beat Milicic in a jump ball, Roy pushed forward with the ball, and the atmosphere of the Rockets fans at the scene was boosted by Yao Ming's rare jump ball victory.

On the court, facing Yes's defense, Roy did not launch a quick attack after advancing to the front court with the help of Scola's screen.

Instead, he waited for Yao Ming to get into position.

The Rockets can play fast.

But with the departure of McGrady and Artest.

The depth of the Rockets' lineup has decreased, and they are increasingly dependent on Yao Ming and him.

In order to save Yao Ming and his physical strength, Adelman took the initiative to slow down the Rockets' rhythm.

If they play fast, he and Yao Ming simply can't play more than 40 minutes per game.

This directly leads to a very wonderful imagination.

Most teams in the entire league are now imitating the supersonics to speed up, but the Rockets and a few bottom-ranked teams with special beliefs and pursuits are slowing down.

In an era when the Spurs and Pistons are speeding up, the active slowing down is indeed somewhat behind the pace of the times.

Waiting for Yao Ming to finish his position, Roy put away his thoughts.

Is there still hope for the Rockets?

Maybe, maybe not.

But this does not depend on speculation, it depends on his hands, his legs, and his knees!

Roy forced Rondo, who switched to defend in front of him, to the basket. Millsap, who was originally preparing to assist Yao Ming, saw Roy coming in and could only put Yao Ming and Scola down and move forward to defend.

When the basketball in Roy's hand flew over his head like a butterfly.

Millsap knew that everything was over.

With a bang!

Millsap turned around suddenly, Yao Ming had already dunked on Milicic...

2 to 0!

"Yao~Ming!!!!"

Milicic looked innocent under the boiling Toyota Center basket.

He really used his strength as required by old Nelson, but now his strength has increased. He can defend below, but he can't defend above!

If there is a weakness, you will be hit. How to play this?

Milicic looked at old Nelson innocently.

And old Nelson on the sidelines was also confused when he saw his "first love" on the court.

Now, let alone making Yao Ming uncomfortable for a season, a game, or a round, is it so difficult?

The difficulty of this problem is simply unsolvable!

As an old man, he wants to follow the trend and post a question online for a solution!

How to defend Yao Ming now, waiting online, urgent...

Old Nelson had a headache, and Jerry West's eyes in front of the TV kept flickering.
