Chapter 1,166 Leonard’s Shock and James’ Ambition!
The Seattle SuperSonics defeated the Nuggets at home, pushing their winning streak and 58 consecutive games to 11 games, ranking first in the entire league.
This really shocked Pippen, the league's senior vice president who has been following the Seattle SuperSonics this season.
And compared to others, he was shocked by the stability and strength of the Supersonics.
He is a bit special. He has been paying attention to the performance of Leonard and Antetokounmpo, the two younger brothers.
He knows all too well how difficult it is to stay on the court after being watched by the whole world.
If you don't have great potential, if you can't keep improving, you will always encounter a bottleneck at a certain period of time and be defeated by your opponent.
And that's what he used to be!
As the dividing line between NBA historical super giants and historical superstars, he is a real top superstar.
Even he didn't persist in the end.
In the NBA, only the super giants are unable to defend. They can also be said to be invincible and almost impossible to be defeated.
Therefore, you may not be a super giant now, but you must have the potential to become a super giant. When others continue to oppress you, you can continue to make progress and grow, and eventually grow to the point where no one can restrict you anymore. I'll knock you down again!
At the beginning of the season, Pippen once said to David Stern that he expected these young people in the Seattle SuperSonics to create miracles for them this season.
This is actually just a beautiful expectation.
In fact, even for himself, to be honest, he never thought that the Seattle SuperSonics could really dominate and be strong until the end.
The prerequisite for the Seattle SuperSonics to stand until the last game of the season is that all five starters of the Seattle SuperSonics must stand. And if the Seattle SuperSonics wants all five players to stand, they need James Harden and Leonard. And Antetokounmpo may end up siding with Yes and Durant.
This is indeed very, very difficult.
It's so difficult that it can only be a beautiful expectation of his.
But now, after seeing the Seattle SuperSonics win 58 in 11 consecutive games, Pippen thinks a little differently.
"Perhaps these young people from the Seattle SuperSonics will really create an impossible miracle for us!"
The recent performance of Antetokounmpo and Leonard, even Pippen pays such attention, can be seen how outstanding these two people's recent performance is.
The Seattle SuperSonics are a monster this season.
Antetokounmpo and Leonard are the bosses of the first and second levels.
The entire league wants to overthrow the Sonics' big devil, but it's embarrassing.
Eleven games have already been played in the season, let alone overthrowing the '58 devil' to stop him from playing 58 in the game.
They even failed to overthrow the two bosses of the first and second levels of this big devil. It was so embarrassing and unparalleled.
In this game between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Nuggets, the showdown between Bradley and Leonard, who have performed very well this season, is very eye-catching.
In this game, Bradley shot 11 of 28 and scored 30 points in a single game.
Leonard, who was facing him, scored 14 of 24 in this game and scored 38 points in a single game.
And compared with Bradley's performance in the game, which seemed to have exhausted all his strength, Leonard's continuous "fallback jumpers" on Bradley's head were obviously more relaxed and comfortable. The difference can be seen by anyone who is blind.
What's more, Leonard finally knocked Bradley off the field for six fouls.
It can be said that this duel between Bradley and Leonard was Bradley's complete defeat.
Bradley is already recognized as the league's top star.
One step away from becoming super giant!
Such a player could not defeat Leonard even with all his might, but was easily pressed down by Leonard.
The shock caused by this can be imagined.
However, this time, 2k did not improve Leonard's ability value because of his outstanding performance with the Nuggets.
2k is still very cautious about players with an ability value of 96 or above.
Now in the entire NBA, there are only a few players with an ability value above 96.
Yes's 99, Kobe's and James' 97. After James was adjusted to 96 in the first game, after these crazy games, he led the Cavaliers to a continuous winning streak, constantly killing opponents, and adjusted his ability value to a little. However, It's incomparable to the 99 he tied with Yeas at the beginning of the season.
Before the start of the season, many people thought that Yes was forced to tie with James. After the game, they realized that it was actually James and Ye that were tied.
Apart from these three people, the only remaining players with an ability value of 96 are Anthony, Durant, and Beasley.
Leonard wants to improve his ability value a little more and adjust to the same position as Durant, Beasley and Anthony. This not only requires proof of strength, but also needs proof of time.
It’s just that the ability value of 2k is the ability value of 2k, and ordinary viewers are not blind.
Although Leonard is 95 and Bradley is 94, the game does not look like a duel between players who are only slightly closer.
This is obviously not because Bradley is too weak.
It's because Leonard is indeed strong.
In other words, no matter what Leonard's 2k ability value is, he is suspected of having super strength after KOing Bradley head-on!
After just 11 games in the new season, the Seattle SuperSonics have gone from being two super-giant teams to being suspected of having three super-giant teams.
This really shocked the entire NBA.
Even if he defeated the Wizards at home, he still won 11 games this season. James, who had led the Cavaliers to 11 wins and 1 loss, had an incredible look on his face.
Looking at the fierce public opinion, James did not deny or disbelieve it at the beginning.
Instead, I seriously found the game between the SuperSonics and Nuggets and watched it twice.
He has not missed every SuperSonics game this season, but because the SuperSonics-Nuggets game conflicts with the Cavaliers-Wizards game, he cannot watch it.
After watching this game in its entirety, no matter how reluctant James is to admit it, he must say that Leonard has indeed proved that he has super strength!
In the first game of this season, he saw Leonard's strength.
His defense could stop him, and his offense could defeat him who was already mentally unbalanced at that time.
But players who can block him defensively and attack him are not necessarily super giants, or even superstars.
He is actually not a very suitable star detector.
Because his offense and defense are both flawed.
Neither he nor Anthony can be regarded as a star detector, not even Kobe.
But Bradley is different.
He is recognized by the league as a player without any shortcomings, and his golf IQ is extremely high. Such a player is extremely suitable to be a star detector.
Although Bradley and Gay are both superstars, and both are top superstars, the difficulty of defeating Gay is fundamentally different from defeating Bradley.
In the entire NBA, no superstar has ever dared to say that he can beat Bradley, but when facing Gay, even some All-Stars often beat Gay.
Because Guy is flawed.
Because he has no shortcomings, Bradley is almost invincible at the same level, unless you can use your level to defeat him abruptly.
Therefore, after Bradley went all out, he only lost to the super giants on the court, and super giants must be careful.
Did Bradley give his all in this game?
Going all out!
Lost?
Not only did he lose, but he was also slightly miserable!
Therefore, there is no doubt that Leonard, the apprentice of Yes, is a super giant!
As for whether it is an ordinary super giant, a first-class super giant, or a top super giant like him, I don't know.
Anyway, super giant must be super giant.
"Three super giants on one team!"
James's face didn't look very good.
His knights are just two super giants.
Moreover, except for Yes, the remaining two super giants were trained by Yes himself.
Forget it about Durant.
Leonard!
Why can Yes’s cultivation ability be so strong?
Can the cultivation speed be so fast?
Leonard's talent is definitely incomparable to that of John Wall, Big Eyebrow, and even Kevin Love who was sent away by him on his team.
But Kevin Love has been constantly trained by him, and in recent years he has only been promoted to the level of a quasi-superstar.
And John Wall came to the NBA with Leonard. Although Leonard practiced with Yes for a few years before, Leonard rarely practiced with Yes after entering the NBA, and John Wall was He is with me almost every day!
But John Wall has only just stepped into the realm of superstars.
John Wall was the chosen one when he was a child, and his talent is definitely better than Leonard's.
But with the same training time, he can only make John Wall a superstar, but Yes can make Leonard a super giant!
Damn it, this gap is simply disappointing.
However, after a slight shock, James quickly recovered.
The Cavaliers still have potential.
So what about three super giants?
This season, I will let you and the whole world see the Cavaliers becoming the first team in NBA history to have five superstars!
After the first game of the season and the SuperSonics game, the Cavaliers players were greatly shocked.
After he apologized at Anthony's request, every Cavaliers player was training hard and hard. They are all young people. In this regard, they are indeed not comparable to the Heat back then.
Of course, the Heat are also very strong, but they are a group of veterans and mature players, and they are not malleable at all.
The Cavaliers are different. The Cavaliers are a group of young players, and they are young players with great potential.
After suffering a defeat like that in the first game of the season, and being unable to celebrate even after winning the championship, his ability to learn from shame and be courageous is invincible. Coupled with the full guidance of him and Anthony, the current Cavaliers are the same as the Cavaliers at the beginning of the season. It's already being transformed.
The entire Cavaliers' promising young players, such as John Wall, have now stepped into the realm of superstars.
And his breakthrough into a superstar was really thanks to the game against the SuperSonics. In that game, Wall could be said to be dropped in the air by Yes and kept brushing against him. Several times, he was even taken down directly in the speed duel with Yes. On the ground, it was the most humiliating game besides him and Cousins.
Although that game brought humiliation to Wall, it also brought him growth.
This is John Wall's fourth season. Not to mention Leonard, who has entered the super giant at the same time, he is still much slower than Bradley.
However, he is still the third Cavaliers player to become a superstar, and also the third superstar after Bradley and Leonard in the 10th year.
In addition to John Wall, the Cavaliers' fourth player who may become a superstar is likely to be Cousins.
This is also Cousins' fourth season in the NBA. Both he and Anthony can feel that this season is the season when Cousins takes off in the NBA.
If he were not in the Cavaliers, but in an ordinary team, Cousins would definitely be a super center who could average 23+12 per game this season.
Cousins now has one foot on the threshold of a superstar, and is just short of an opportunity for him to become the fourth superstar of the Cavaliers, the fourth superstar among the 10th rookie class!
Besides Cousins, the other Cavaliers player who is closest to a superstar is of course thick eyebrows!
Thick eyebrows don’t have one foot in the door like Cousins has.
But it's not far off.
After successfully defending Yao Ming at the last moment of this year's finals, it seems that the growth of thick eyebrows has begun.
In the regular season last season, thick eyebrows' data was only 13+8.
But after the finals and playoffs and the baptism of Yao Ming, this season's thick eyebrows even made him feel that he could easily score 20+10 in an ordinary team!
Although thick eyebrows are now a little farther away from superstars than Cousins, thick eyebrows have entered the superstar earlier than Cousins, and James is not surprised at all.
This is the second season of thick eyebrows!
This level of progress reminded him of himself!
LeBron James took off and became a superstar in his second season!
And this is also the reason why he likes thick eyebrows the most in the entire team, and he would not hesitate to send Love away for thick eyebrows.
Because the thick eyebrows are likely to be the third player of the Cleveland Cavaliers to become a super giant!
Besides Anthony, he is his most important helper.
In James' opinion, all five of the Cavaliers' starters will definitely become superstars by the end of the season!
A team with five superstars, just asking you whether it is scary or not?
Moreover, the Cavaliers are not just a team with five superstars!
By the end of the season, the Cavaliers will likely have six superstars!
Because another person on the Cavaliers surprised him very, very much.
That's DeRozan!
Last season, he thought DeRozan had reached his limit and had exhausted his potential.
What he didn't expect was that DeRozan was still improving this season!
Continuous progress!
Although the progress is not as dramatic as thick eyebrows.
But it's very long-lasting and very long-lasting.
This season is already DeRozan's fifth season.
DeRozan comes to the Cavaliers in his fourth season with him.
In his first season with him, DeRozan grew from an excellent young player to an excellent elite player, reaching a quasi-All-Star level.
In his second season with him, DeRozan became an All-Star player.
At that time, he felt that DeRozan had reached the peak of his growth, but last season, DeRozan was still growing.
This season, he feels that DeRozan should have reached his peak, but DeRozan is still growing.
Although he is not walking very fast, he is indeed moving towards becoming a superstar!
This is a surprise!
With thick eyebrows, Cousins is a player that he can be sure will become a superstar by the end of the regular season.
As for DeRozan, he is not sure whether he can enter at the end of the regular season, but it doesn't matter. As long as he shows his superstar potential, James can wait.
After all, the finals against the Seattle SuperSonics is the real priority!
He has now begun to focus on cultivating DeRozan. It is of course the best to become a superstar as soon as possible. If he does not achieve it in the regular season, he believes that he can definitely push him up in the playoffs!
In other words, when the finals come, Yes and the Seattle SuperSonics will face a team with six superstars!
Just asking you if you are afraid!
This is a real superstar, not an ability value superstar with 2K ability values!
Even if James Harden and Antetokounmpo eventually become superstars.
Those are just five superstars, and we have six here!
Three super giants and two superstars or two super giants and four superstars, who is stronger?
It’s hard to say, but it’s definitely possible!
As for the so-called sixth man of dogs, the Rondo who was willing to be a dog and a pet for Yes, James looked very dark.
When the time comes, find someone to keep an eye on him the whole time and see if he is still barking!
Of course, the SuperSonics have a strong bench. Milicic and Millsap are both top All-Stars, but don't the Cavaliers have any All-Stars?
Iguodala and Daniel Gibson are also All-Stars!
McGee also has one foot in the All-Star Game!
There are also Chandler Parsons, Sullinger, etc. The Cavaliers also have no shortage of thickness!
And this is still this season. Next season, when the Cavaliers get Wiggins, the Cavaliers can continue to get stronger!
"Go crazy now, keep going crazy, the Cavaliers are still the team with a better future!"
Moreover, what he wants is not the future, he wants the present!
However, having said that, James still looked a little unhappy when he saw the Seattle SuperSonics defeat the Jazz at home on November 21, extending their winning streak and 58 consecutive games to 12 games.
After all, when faced with threats from around the world, he and the Heat chose to move forward on their knees.
But Yes and the Sonics chose to move forward with their heads held high.
If it weren't for the SuperSonics, who is now threatening the whole world, it should be him, LeBron James, who is marching with his head held high!
Originally, there had never been such a great person in the NBA. Even if there was, it would have been LeBron James, but now it has become Yes!
But it doesn't matter, he already knew from the Warriors last season that the one who wins in the end is the real winner!
And he and the Cavaliers will be the final winners!
Um?
When James, who didn't have a very good-looking face at first, watched the SuperSonics' next game opponent shown on TV, a smile appeared on James' originally unattractive face.
Spurs?
"interesting."
