Chapter 380 Confidence to Win!
Losing the second game at home and being defeated by the Suns at home was not the result Yeos wanted.
They defeated the Suns in the second game and defended their home court in the third game, once allowing them to snatch the home court advantage away from the Suns.
As long as they win their second home game, the Sonics will gain a huge advantage.
But a loss at home in Game 4 allowed the Sonics to hand over their home court advantage.
Now the SuperSonics and Suns are tied 2-2 in the first four games, which turns the best-of-seven playoff series into a best-of-three series.
And the most critical Game 5 is still at the home court of the Phoenix Suns.
This is very detrimental to the Sonics.
After the game against the Suns, Ye Si dragged his exhausted body back to his lakeside villa.
101 to 116, a huge score difference of 15 points.
Sitting on the bed, Ye Si looked at the night outside the glass wall, with a deep frown on his face.
He is most responsible for losing this game.
41 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists.
From a data point of view, it is still outstanding.
But these 41 points were obtained by taking 41 shots.
17-for-41 from the field.
This is the first time in Yees' career that he failed to score more than 50 points in more than 40 shots.
Maybe for many outside superstars in the league, this kind of shooting rate is actually okay.
But for Leafs, this is a pretty bad shooting percentage.
His touch was still average in this game.
It continued the ordinary feel from the previous round and the Spurs.
It should be said that in addition to the first game against the Mavericks, Yeez's touch was very good. In the subsequent playoffs, Yeas' touch has been average.
Ye Si knew that he was now experiencing a period of normal hand feel.
For most ordinary players, the period when they feel average is the most, and those who have explosive or underestimated feel can only be considered a minority.
But this small amount of time is a bit long.
It lasted for more than 10 games.
In the last round of the series with the Spurs, because he was standing in front of his "greatest rival" Bowen, the touch did not have a great impact on him.
And now, standing in front of him was Laga Belle.
Laga Bell's defense was excellent, with standard first-level defense, and Yes could feel that Bell was very familiar with his habits.
Not that LaGabell is familiar with the habits of his technical moves.
Rather, Lagabell is familiar with his habit of not liking to draw fouls.
After Laga Bell used a chokehold on him for a while in the second game and he countered it, Bell's defensive control was very good in the next game.
He was both intense and measured at the same time.
Very standard tough but not dirty defense.
In addition to being a bit fond of chokeholds, Bell is indeed a very clean defensive player.
I heard that after Kobe was choked by him, he was also locked out of his relationship, and he always wanted to trade Bell.
Facing such an outstanding defensive player's single defense.
In the last three games, two have 50+ and one has 40+, which is already very good.
Lagabell though is familiar with his dislike of intentionally drawing fouls.
But Lagabell is not that familiar with his ball-handling offense.
However, as the game progressed, Yes could clearly feel that Bell was becoming more familiar with him.
In these three games, his touch was almost average. He scored 50+ points in the first two games, but he only scored 41 points this time.
What about the next game?
According to the current trend, Lagabel's defense against him in the next game will only be better, not worse.
The next game is the most important battle of Tianwang Mountain in this series!
Whoever wins will get the advantage of advancing to this series!
Powerful enemies, average feel, bottomed out physical strength.
The stone pressing on him and Supersonic became heavier and heavier.
It has almost reached the point where it is impossible for him and his team to turn around.
The current situation with the Sonics is the same as the temperature in Seattle in May, a bit cold.
It's so cold that it makes people shiver, and it's so cold that it fogs up before their eyes. It's the kind of fog that makes people unable to see the future and hope.
Ye Si took a deep breath and got up from the bed.
When I came to the window, there was still a person practicing shooting on the basketball court under the window.
A very familiar figure, this figure has been living in his house for several days.
Shoot, breathe, shoot again.
What goes around comes around.
This is a person who really works hard, and Ye Si has always admired those who work really hard.
Isiah Thomas, Zach LaVine, Joe Harris...and Yi Jianlian.
They are all such people.
Can't sleep!
After watching tonight's home game between the SuperSonics and the Suns, Yi Jianlian couldn't sleep.
What you see when you win is prosperity.
Only when you fail can you see true companionship.
cheer! effort! persist in! one person! A city!
It makes people's blood boil so much that they can't sleep!
This is the NBA?
No, this is not the NBA!
This is a fairy tale!
Others can never touch it and can only envy it, a fairy tale that belongs to that person alone.
People like me don’t even have the right to be envious!
Throwing the basketball in his hand, Yi Jianlian's heart sank.
Technical actions are affected by emotions again...
Very frustrated.
Yi Jianlian was frustrated and prepared to pick up the basketball he missed.
But the basketball is no longer on the ground.
Looking at the man who picked up the basketball he missed, Yi Jianlian had a look of surprise on his face.
Ignoring the surprised Yi Jianlian, Ye Si threw the basketball in his hand into the air.
With a swipe, a hollow hit.
What a soft touch!
Yi Jianlian was a little stunned.
"Help me pick up the ball."
The voice was cold, not a discussion or an order, but it had power that Yi Jianlian could not refuse.
For a moment, the basketball court of the villa in the center of the lake, under the moonlight and lights, turned into a scene of a person picking up a ball and a person shooting.
one two three four……
Fifty……
sixty……
seventy……
eighty……
ninety……
Until you hit a hundred in a row.
Ye Si stopped his shooting under Yi Jianlian's incredible gaze.
Perfect feel!
Perfect pose!
Perfect rhythm!
This is the man who is called by the NBA to have the most perfect shot in the world!
This is the person that everyone in our country calls proud!
This is also the person who is regarded as an idol by me and my teammates!
This is the man who is looking at me right now.
Facing Ye Si's gaze, Yi Jianlian lowered his head involuntarily.
Under Ye Si's clear and penetrating gaze, he always felt as if all his secrets were invisible.
Seeing Yi Jianlian like this, Ye Si frowned.
"Let's talk."
Chat?
Yi Jianlian raised his head in surprise.
Ye Si wants to talk to him? !
Ignoring his surprise, the figure had already sat down on the chair on the sidelines.
After thinking about it and gritting his teeth, Yi Jianlian took heavy steps and sat down on the chair next to him.
Sitting in the night, the two people in the light sat quietly like this.
I don't know how long it took before Ye Si's cold voice broke the calm of the night again.
"Brother Yao said we are very similar."
Brother Yao said that I look very similar to Ye Si? !
Yi Jianlian opened his eyes wide and looked incredulous.
How do I resemble Ye Si?
He is the true pride of heaven, and I...
"What do you think."
"No, it's not like..."
"I don't think so either."
Ye Si looked carefully at the big man next to him.
It's a very strange feeling, and also an incredible feeling.
"I don't have as low self-esteem as you do. Your low self-esteem can already be seen from your body."
"..."
"Am I wrong?"
"..."
Still this clear and penetrating look.
Faced with a look that would make him feel ashamed of any lies, Yi Jianlian lowered his head in silence again.
“I started to play basketball officially when I was 12 years old. I represented the National Youth League and performed well at the age of 13. I shined in the University Games at the age of 14. I shocked the World Youth Championship at the age of 15. I was selected for the national team at the age of 16. I became the youngest MVP in CBA history at the age of 17. I led the team at the age of 18. Completed three consecutive CBA championships, participated in the NBA draft at the age of 19 and became the second pick."
"Is everything I said correct?"
Yi Jianlian was still silent and still lowered his head.
Looking at his future teammate in the national team, Yes was curious.
Why does such a genius who has always been the number one in his age group have such a strong sense of inferiority?
That kind of inferiority complex that only comes when one seems to have deceived the whole world.
No, deceiving the whole world does not have such a strong sense of inferiority.
Ye Si is deceiving the whole world, but he never feels inferior about it!
"Are all these resumes of yours false?"
Still no answer.
But his head bowed even deeper.
Seeing Yi Jianlian like this, Ye Si took his eyes back and stopped staring at him.
“Do you want to use your best efforts to fill this false bubble?”
Ye Si's faint voice sounded again.
Hearing Ye Si's words, Yi Jianlian lowered his head deeper and deeper, and even his shoulders were shaking.
It's really interesting.
Ye Si looked at it again.
"I suddenly realized that Brother Yao might be right when he said we are very similar."
? !
Yi Jianlian, who had already lowered his head like an ostrich, raised his head in disbelief.
However, the person who was sitting next to him had already stood up and walked to the villa.
us? Similar?
How can this be!
You are the miracle of China and the fairy tale of the world, and I? !
Thinking of this, Yi Jianlian clenched his hands tightly into fists.
"There is nothing wrong with trying your best to fill up the false and brilliant bubble."
“But before others believe this bubble is real, you need to believe it yourself.”
Before others believe this bubble is real, you need to believe it yourself? !
Yi Jianlian's tightly clenched fists loosened and tightened, tightened and loosened again...
"Even if it is a false bubble, do you still have to believe that it is real?"
Ye Si, who returned to the villa, gently chewed on what he had just said.
The depression of losing a crucial battle was also gone.
On May 28, 2007, there was a huge crowd of SuperSonics fans outside the Seattle Airport.
"Yes! Yes! Yes!"
An overwhelming yes!
It was a send-off for the Sonics from Seattle fans.
This is also the winning belief that Seattle fans give to the Sonics.
Rondo, who was walking behind, kept looking at the back.
A reassuring figure!
The terrifying battlefield we are about to embark on is no longer so scary!
