Chapter 407 Rookie Scoring Champion?

"Yes, are you really going to train that kid to be the scoring champion?"

On October 31, 2007, at the Pepsi Center, Carmelo Anthony had a curious look on his face.

In the press conference before the game, facing the media's accusations against Durant, Yes's answer made him feel incredible.

"Yes, are you serious or just angry?"

When Anthony was talking to Ye Si, his eyes kept drifting to Durant not far away.

As for Ye Si, as if he didn't hear Anthony's words, his eyes were elsewhere.

The No. 1 of the Denver Nuggets.

jr smith.

At that time, the jersey on his back was No. 5.

Seeing that Ye Si didn't listen to his words seriously, Anthony was a little 'displeased'.

"Yes, are you listening to me?"

"have."

Ye Si nodded lightly.

"Yes, I'm telling you, this season is not last season."

"There's a lot more competition this season."

"Did you watch the game between the Rockets and the Lakers yesterday? It was so dark!"

The look on Anthony's face now is admiration.

Ye Si can actually understand.

Yesterday's opening game was not only the game between the Suns and the Kings, but also the games between the Rockets and the Lakers, the Trail Blazers and the Spurs.

Jess watched both games,

The game between the Lakers and the Rockets was really exciting.

The Lakers' three new aids Kidd, Randolph and Turkoglu performed very well around Kobe.

The Lakers also played their best triangle offensive performance since Phil Jackson came to the team.

Although the Lakers lost in the end, the two teams fought until the last second. Kobe's defensive lore in the face of Tracy McGrady failed.

Only then did the Lakers lose at home.

As far as this game is concerned, both the Lakers and Rockets played at a very high level.

The starting performances of the two teams are comparable, and the Rockets' bench is slightly better and stronger.

However, the Rockets are a newly formed team with an incomplete tactical system, and so are the Lakers.

The two teams have not yet reached their strongest time.

"Yes, since you read it, you should also know that not only the Suns are the only giant in the West, but the strength of other strong teams has also increased. Excellent, almost toppled the Spurs away."

"If you train Durant in such a crazy way, are you really going to be at the bottom this season?"

Seeing Ye Si's still calm look, Anthony frowned.

"Although I'm not qualified to judge you and the Supersonics, you should also know how many people are waiting for your team to fall?"

"I heard from Chris and Dwyane that LeBron is now waiting for the Christmas game to get back the title of Chosen Son."

"I know you're not the kind of person who values ​​personal honor, otherwise you wouldn't do the thing of being the MVP in the All-Stars, but public opinion can kill!"

"Do you really think that kid is worth sacrificing a season of your own to cultivate?"

"You really think he's going to be your Pippen?"

The expression on Anthony's face was worried, and Ye Si could see that Anthony's concern for him was genuine.

The Western Conference this season is indeed much more competitive than the Western Conference last season.

The strong team is stronger, and the belly has also become stronger.

Not to mention the Grizzlies, they have turned from a big belly to a powerful one in one fell swoop.

Even the Timberwolves and Trail Blazers have undergone some radical changes.

The Timberwolves are a team that is very good at cultivating insiders.

The young insider combination of Al Jefferson and Yi Jianlian performed very well in the preseason. One is stronger than the inside footsteps, the other is stronger than the outside shooting, one is the floor flow, and the other is the core flow that can hold the ball. In addition to defense, on the offensive end, the potential shown by these two people is surprising. Coupled with the outside combination of Rudy Gay and Randy Foye, it is very exciting.

As for the Blazers, even more so, Conley.

Webster, Outlaw, Aldridge, Gortat, the five starters of the Blazers all scored in double figures in the preseason.

Webster, who had been called a softie for two seasons before, has also toughened his style of play, and more importantly, he has practiced three-pointers.

This is Webster's third season. After wasting a few years of talent, he is finally ready to pick up the talent that was thrown away in the past two years. Fortunately, he is still young, only less than 21 years old.

A 2.01 meter can average 6 three-pointers per game from beyond the three-point line and still have a 40% shooting rate, which is quite terrifying.

Webster is the epitome of the Blazers this season. The Blazers have a bunch of young and potential players like Webster.

The vitality now radiates makes people somewhat unable to recognize that they are the Trail Blazers that Randolph brought before.

It is precisely for this reason that this season's Western Conference is known as the strongest Western Conference in history.

Even many experts believe that only the Boston Celtics can make it to the playoffs from the Eastern Conference this year in the Western Conference.

Except for the Boston Celtics, neither the Wizards nor the Cavaliers may make the playoffs.

"Yes, although many people say that the Sonics lottery this season is more beneficial to your career, you can select Mayo or Beasley to the Sonics next year, but if you really think so, really Doing that would do a lot of damage to your career, and Jordan's Pippen wasn't picked that way."

"I know."

"Now that you know, you should change your crazy way of training Durant!"

"Now the whole world is saying that Durant is not your Pippen, and I don't know whether he can be your Pippen, but since you are willing to believe, then I am also willing to believe that he has the potential to be Pippen, but Even with that potential, don't you think it would be too much for him to share most of your shots in a game?"

"A rookie with an average of 31.5 shots per game, Yes, do you know what this concept is?!"

"The rookie who averaged more than 30 shots per game last season was Wilt Chamberlain!"

"The only player in the NBA who can average 30 shots per game is Chamberlain!"

"Even if he really has the potential to become Pippen, you will destroy him if you overwhelm him. Do you know what his current image is in public opinion?"

"Anyone will collapse in the face of such public opinion. You are not cultivating him, you are destroying him! You are also destroying your own career!"

"Yes, this season is the most important season to determine the height of your career. Your choice determines the height of your career!"

Anthony, who was still talking to Ye Si calmly and calmly, now spoke quite heavily.

Even the players of the two teams who were warming up on the court noticed.

Perhaps knowing that his tone was a little heavy, Anthony shook his head with a wry smile.

"Yes, I like your fairy tales, and I don't want your fairy tales to end this season."

After Anthony patted Ye Si on the shoulder lightly, he turned and left.

"Cameron, what did you just say to Yes, so excited?"

"nothing."

Anthony looked at the supersonic tall and thin No. 35 not far away, with a serious expression on his face.

"We're going to beat the Sonics to the bottom of this game!"

Will the Sonics finish last in this game?

JR Smith, Billups, Hamilton and others beside Anthony also showed surprise on their faces.

They have never seen Anthony so serious.

Anthony ignored the surprise of his teammates.

His eyes were still on Durant.

Since you want to cultivate him, then I will destroy him!

At least, in this game, I want to destroy him!

Now the whole world is saying Yes this season the lottery is better.

But he will never allow the Yes lotto, and he will never allow his fairy tale to disappear!

Being stared at by Anthony with such eyes, Durant felt a little stressed.

This is the first official NBA game of his career.

He was already under a lot of pressure.

What's more, the current public opinion environment is still so bad.

Everyone outside is scolding him.

Every teammate on the team wanted him out except Yes and Sessions.

Now, the opponent who is about to face him on the court looks like he is about to swallow him.

It is said that Yes is the most difficult road.

He's actually pretty much the same.

However, it doesn't matter, as long as you have Yes' support as always, it doesn't matter how much pressure you have!

Rookie score?

Those who can decide his fate are not these people, nor himself, but Yes!

The game between the Supersonics and the Nuggets has not yet started, and Durant felt tremendous pressure.

After the game started, the pressure intensified.

The Nuggets' offense is looking for Anthony almost every time. As long as Anthony has the opportunity, he will definitely force Durant.

"Cameron's fighting spirit is very high today!"

As the head coach of the Nuggets, George Karl is very satisfied with Anthony's fighting spirit this season.

He always felt that Anthony was a bit lazy before, but after last season's playoffs, Anthony's attitude has undergone a huge change.

He is no longer an offensive player who only makes an impact on the offensive end.

In this year's preseason, he is also more willing to defend.

Anthony's physical condition is outstanding, even if he does not reach the height of the chosen sons like Yes and James, the difference is not that much.

He also never expected Anthony to treat defense the way he treats offense.

His request is just to hope that Anthony will not lose his position because of inattention on the defensive end.

Move more, run more,

In the past, Anthony couldn't even satisfy his little request.

Maybe it can be satisfied for a week or two, and after that, it will soon revert to the old way.

Like this season, from working hard in the summer to the start of the new season, it is really impossible to persist for such a long time.

He has always felt that Anthony's style of play on the court is still too gentle and lacks ruthlessness. The ruthlessness has nothing to do with the lore, it is an aura that swallows the opponent!

George Karl really didn't expect that in this game, he actually saw such an aura in Anthony's body.

The second place in the Supersonics, both offensive and defensive ends are crumbling under the pressure of Cameron!

It really was a pleasant surprise!

For this game, George Karl is very relaxed.

If it is facing the Sonics last season, he may be very nervous.

But the Sonics this season...

As long as Yes continues to let Durant take more than 30 shots per game, the strength of the Supersonics, let alone the Nuggets.

Even the Timberwolves may not be able to beat it!

What kind of strength does the Sonics have for a team that can support a player like Durant to take 30 shots in a game?

Even for a team like the Suns, if Durant takes 30 shots in a game, the record will collapse and the strength will plummet!

"Cameron's offense is beautiful!"

Since there is no suspense in this game, just enjoy Cameron's performance.

An offensive kaleidoscope facing a defensive sieve, what kind of picture would this be?

Certainly a picturesque picture!

In addition to admiring Anthony, George Karl also had some sympathy for Durant.

Regardless of the current public opinion outside or Cameron's targeting, he shouldn't have to bear these.

But who made him the second place selected by Yes?

How many people are watching this position?

Not to mention Durant, a not-so-strong rookie, even if Jordan sits in this position, there will be considerable pressure.

Being Pippen next to Jordan, Jordan attracted all the firepower of the media, and Pippen could grow slowly.

Jordan's first season, a round of tour, the second season, a round of tour, the third season is still a round of tour.

It wasn't until the fifth season that it reached the Eastern Conference finals.

Jordan himself was not so perfect, how could public opinion require the players around Jordan to be perfect?

Jordan himself grew up for five seasons before successfully reaching the conference finals. How could public opinion require his teammates to grow up immediately?

Of course, take your time, let's just push Jordan.

Yes is different. The first season is the division finals. The teammates are too slow to grow, so they have to catch up with Yes immediately.

To be reasonable, with the footsteps of Yes, there are not many people in the history of the league who can keep up.

As long as players who can't team up with Yes to win the championship immediately, sooner or later, they will encounter the treatment like Durant now.

Durant was just sprayed early.

Even if Oden comes to the Sonics, maybe the beginning of the season will be good, but as the season progresses, Oden will be sprayed.

Which player in history can team up with Yes to lead the weakest team in history to win the championship immediately?

Can rookie Jordan do it? difficult.

Can rookie O'Neal do it? It is possible, but also difficult.

Maybe only rookie Wilt Chamberlain can.

But players like Chamberlain are not available for the SuperSonics' second pick.

Pippen's position next to Yes is definitely the biggest fire pit in history!

Whoever sits on fire!

George Karl can no longer bear to imagine the media's accusations against Durant after the Supersonics' defeat in this game.

Um? !

Just when George Karl recovered from the leisurely empty state, looking at the score on the sidelines, the expression of sympathy on his face has turned into astonishment!

How can this be? !

Not only George Karl is stunned now, but the Nuggets fans at the scene and Barkley in the commentary are also stunned now!

14 to 15?

After half a quarter, the Sonics are still leading after Yes's opening three-pointer? !

And the ball is still in the hands of the Sonics? !

Barkley looked at the technical statistics with an incredible expression on his face!

Anthony: 4 of 7, 10 points.

Jess: 3 of 3, 10 points.

Durant: 1 of 5, 3 points.

A player with a 100% shooting percentage only takes three shots!

A player with a 20% shooting rate can take 5 shots!

"Yes, I'm not kidding, he really wants to train Durant to be the scoring champion in his rookie season?!"

What's even more incredible is that the Supersonics are still ahead!

Dragging Durant's oil bottle, the Supersonics are still leading!

Yes is not facing a colander like Durant, but Hamilton!

Kenny Smith is now dumbfounded.
