Chapter 967: The Savior and the Crazy Trade Request!
The words Arenas said had a huge impact on Yes.
The NBA today is a world that makes the brave despair.
To what extent does this world make these braves despair?
The first in the East is the Miami Heat, which is now winning 12 games in a row.
The second in the West is the Memphis Grizzlies, which is now winning 11 games in a row.
In the history of the NBA, it is hard to imagine two teams that start the season with more than 10 consecutive wins.
Even in the past few seasons, which have been considered the most competitive and the strongest seasons in the NBA, those strong teams did not have such terrifying dominance.
Arenas can defeat the powerful Suns and Rockets by himself.
But the current Heat and Grizzlies are really despairing.
This is not counting the Lakers who are now back to the winning streak.
The Heat, Grizzlies, and Lakers, these three teams formed by superstars, put tremendous pressure on the entire NBA before the start of the season, and after the start of the season, such pressure was overwhelming, so great that even players like Arenas were desperate.
The whole world seemed to have fallen into darkness.
If the Seattle SuperSonics were not the first in the West, and if the Seattle SuperSonics, who had won 13 consecutive games, were not the first in the league, I am afraid that many brave men like Arenas would feel that the whole world had completely fallen into darkness.
Yes had never thought about what role he would play in the entire NBA.
Because Yes had always felt that he only needed to play the role of Seattle, just save the Seattle SuperSonics and make the fans of Seattle happy.
As for other missions and other roles, he really had not thought about them.
Save the NBA?
Does the NBA need him to save it?
But now, he knows that in the minds of many players like Arenas, although he does not know that he has such a role, in the minds of these people,
he has indeed assumed the role of saving them and saving the NBA.
It is undeniable that every NBA player has a dream of being a great hero.
Some people, like Arenas, choose to stick to it, even if they know that they can no longer be a great hero, they must stick to their pride and dignity.
And some people, they don't want to become evil dragons, but in order to defeat the evil dragon, they can only become more evil dragons.
There are not many brave men who stick to the position like Arenas, but there are definitely not a few. Even those who become evil dragons in order to defeat the evil dragon, if they have a choice, they will never want to become evil dragons.
And Yes and the Supersonics are their hope.
Only when those teams like evil dragons fail, and only when those who want to take shortcuts all fail, can they have a future where everyone has hope.
It can be said that Yes and the Seattle Supersonics are the most perfect brave men who defeat the evil dragons that these people imagine.
Almost all the players of the Seattle Supersonics are civilian players who were trained by Yes and started from humble beginnings.
A team has James, Wade, Chris Bosh, Chandler, Ray Allen, Ben Gordon, this is cheating, this is the most evil evil dragon!
A team has Durant, Milicic, Millsap, Rondo, Gasol, Ibaka, James Harden, this can be copied, this is a brave man.
Now the brave men who represent them need to defeat all those evil evil dragons in order to snatch back their future.
Yes didn't think of being a savior.
The Seattle Supersonics didn't think of being a savior either.
But now they are regarded by many people as the savior who can set things right and bring them hope.
Before he knew that he and his team were regarded as the savior of the NBA by many people, Yes had always been focused on how to make Rondo the scoring champion in every game.
And secretly brush a triple-double.
Yes would not use the team's failure to brush a triple-double.
So before this season, Yes had almost never brushed his data.
But this season, with the help of Rondo, a super shooter, it was natural for him to brush his data.
After withdrawing his attention from the focus of brushing his own data and brushing data for Rondo.
Yes realized how many people in the world are now looking forward to them becoming saviors and warriors.
After the Seattle Supersonics defeated the Wizards and won 13 consecutive victories this season, almost most of the media reported that the Seattle Supersonics continued to occupy the first place in the league.
That kind of joy, that kind of celebration, it's not like it's for a defending champion who has won two consecutive championships.
You know, in the past of the NBA, a team that has won two consecutive championships, in the third year, is the public enemy of the whole world.
No kidding, everyone in the NBA will be happy to defeat such a team.
And such a team that should have become the biggest dragon, because of the three real dragons of the Heat, the Grizzlies and the Lakers, has become a hero.
This magical situation is really incredible.
The incredibleness of the Seattle Supersonics this season has also been felt by Oden, McGrady, Carter, Battier, Gasol, Mike Miller, Kyle Lowry and other Grizzlies players.
As the season progressed, as they continued to win, as they could beat any opponent, they found that the center of evil in the world had changed from the Seattle SuperSonics to them.
Speaking of which, they were also quite aggrieved.
If you want to say that the Lakers and the Heat are evil teams, that's fine.
What kind of evil team are the Grizzlies?
McGrady was not snatched by them by any means. McGrady is a free agent. You all despise McGrady's serious injury and don't believe that McGrady actually recovered from his past hidden injuries during the hard injuries and rest during this year. His strength has not decreased but increased. Who can you blame?
We, the Grizzlies, are willing to believe in McGrady and are willing to give him a big contract. Now that we have benefited, you say that we are an evil team.
We are obviously completely different from the Lakers and the Heat, and we have not harmed the interests of any team. How can we be evil?
Moreover, have you ever seen an evil team that always ranks second?
No matter how you look at it, the Seattle SuperSonics are more evil!
Speaking of becoming the representative of the evil team in the West, the Grizzlies are full of grievances.
This is really related to the current record of the Grizzlies and the Supersonics.
The Grizzlies have performed so well this season that they can easily defeat any opponent.
But in the end, they can only rank second in the West. Who can they reason with?
They have won 11 games in a row, but there is an even more terrifying Supersonics with 13 consecutive wins above them!
"The record of the Supersonics this season is really weird."
On November 23 and November 25, 2009, the Memphis Grizzlies defeated the Kings and the Suns in succession. At the end of the 13-game winning streak, they received the results of the Supersonics and the Jazz who were playing with them at the same time.
The Supersonics defeated the Jazz away with a score of 153 to 96.
The news also included that Yes had a triple-double in 14 consecutive games this season.
At the same time, Rajon Rondo became the on-the-spot scoring leader in 14 consecutive games this season.
The Grizzlies players felt that the Seattle Supersonics were weird not because of Rondo's data and Yes's data.
But the Seattle Supersonics had crazy wins in almost every game this season.
They certainly don't expect a team like the Jazz to help them stop the Supersonics.
The key is that the Seattle Supersonics can win by 40 or 50 points almost every game against a team like the Jazz, which is really scary.
Even if it is them, their hard power is called the top three in the league, stronger than the Supersonics, they don't have such a strong ability to bully weak teams.
They won by 20 points against the Kings and only 15 points against the Suns.
Logically speaking, shouldn't Yes lower the team's strength by sacrificing the interests of the team to support Rondo to win the scoring title in every game?
The data for Rondo's scoring should be inversely proportional to the strength of the Supersonics.
The harder Rondo scores, the weaker the Seattle Supersonics should be, and the weaker their ability to bully weak teams or strong dialogues will be.
Why can't I feel this situation?
"It feels that Rondo's scoring title is not reducing the strength of the Seattle Supersonics, but improving the strength of the Seattle Supersonics."
Oden shook his head a little.
This is really weird and unreasonable. Rondo's scoring ability is obvious to everyone. How could it be possible for the Supersonics to improve!
"Unless the Seattle Supersonics are strong enough this season, even with Rondo, they can be much stronger than last season. Is Yes's organization and ball control so strong? Is the strongest Yes really so strong?"
"I don't know whether the strongest Yes is really so strong. I only know that none of the five starters of the Seattle Supersonics this season has a scoring rate lower than 50%."
"This organizational ability... is unheard of..."
Master...
Hearing the sighs of his teammates around him, Oden also clenched his fists tightly.
He thought he could easily surpass the master this season, but he didn't expect... the master still stood in front of them like an unreachable mountain.
"Yes!"
On November 27, 2009, at the American Airlines Arena, James' face was not so good after defeating the Wizards led by Arenas with a score of 130 to 105 at home again.
Fifteen consecutive wins, defeating the Wizards, and getting fifteen consecutive wins!
On the other side, before the end of their game, the Seattle Supersonics defeated the Bucks 148 to 90.
The Seattle Supersonics also won fifteen consecutive games!
The first place in the league is still the Seattle Supersonics.
Seeing the look on James' face.
On the other side, Arenas, who was about to enter the player tunnel, also raised his mouth slightly in disdain.
Yes really didn't disappoint me!
Our brave man, help us sweep these evil dragons!
Let this darkness no longer cover our eyes!
Fifteen consecutive wins, continue to lead the entire league, and the Seattle Supersonics, who represent the light of the league, continue to win.
But the pressure from the Heat and the Grizzlies is not small.
Now the winning streak of the Seattle Supersonics, the Grizzlies and the Heat has certainly attracted the attention of the whole world.
In the history of the NBA, it is the first time that three teams have won more than fifteen consecutive games.
Coincidentally, on November 29, 2009, the Seattle SuperSonics, the Grizzlies and the Heat all had games on that day.
And the opponents they faced were all strong.
Many people were looking forward to whether one of the three teams would fall behind.
The Grizzlies played the Clippers away, the Heat played the Boston Celtics away, and the Seattle SuperSonics played the Rockets at home.
The first of the three matches was the game between the Grizzlies and the Clippers.
With their super singles ability, super defense, and super height, the Grizzlies defeated the Clippers led by Nick Young and Westbrook 118-88 away.
The Clippers are also a strong team this season, but the strong strength shown by the Grizzlies in this game is really frightening. Oden, Gasol, Battier, McGrady, Carter, when these five Grizzlies starters stood on the court, many viewers in front of the TV would despair for the Clippers.
"This is a team without blind spots!"
This was Reggie Miller's evaluation after the game.
No dead angle means more perfect than perfect.
Next is the game between the Heat and the Celtics.
This game is Ray Allen's homecoming game.
Chandler, Chris Bosh, James, Ray Allen, Wade, the Heat's starting five led the Heat to the North Shore Garden. Amid the boos of Boston fans, they slaughtered the Celtics by 34 points 140 to 106.
At the end of the game, Garnett and Pierce looked at Ray Allen with very unhappy and indignant faces.
The two had a strong sense of ownership. The Celtics were their private property. Ray Allen not only jumped ship, but also jumped to the ship of their biggest rival in the East, which made them feel that they had been betrayed and hurt by their younger brother.
The two Celtics bosses who looked at Ray Allen with angry eyes did not notice that the man named Danny Ainge in the stands was looking at them with an inexplicable flickering look.
"Do you feel that the Heat, Grizzlies and SuperSonics are not only competing with each other for consecutive wins, but also competing with each other for the score of winning the opponent!"
"Of course I feel it. The Grizzlies beat the Clippers by 30 points, and the Heat beat the Celtics by 34 points. Guess how many points the Seattle SuperSonics will win against the Rockets?"
"Will it not be 58 points again? The Seattle SuperSonics have won a lot of 58 points this season..."
158 to 100!
This is the final score between the SuperSonics and the Rockets, another 58, which is quite disrespectful to Roy who returned to Seattle.
Yes actually didn't want to. In fact, most of the 58 this season were not intentional by Yes, but were caused by the substitutes led by James Harden.
The substitute lineup led by James Harden this season is really cool.
Since he didn't think about playing 58, Yes naturally didn't plan to compete with the Heat and Grizzlies for winning points.
This is a fact. As for whether the players of the Heat and Grizzlies think so, I don't know.
The three teams achieved 16 consecutive wins on the same day, which is indeed a kind of fate that will never leave or abandon.
But after the game, Yes was shocked by something.
"Yes, I just received an application. The Celtics hope to trade Garnett and Pierce for Durant, Rondo and Gasol!"
Yes was stunned.
This is the golden apple that tempts the savior to become a dragon...
