Chapter 414 The Powerful Yes and Durant with Hot Eyes

The Grizzlies have a strong starter!

Such a strong starter can only draw with the Supersonics' starter after the first quarter.

This makes Grizzlies coach Stotts uneasy.

He wants to beat Yes in this game!

He wanted to get rid of the grievance of being dismissed by Yes last season!

He came up with the ambition of making a big effort last season and the resentment that the team he worked so hard to break up was broken by Yes!

Stotts was pleased with how the Grizzlies starters played in the first quarter.

But they have performed so well, they still can't take the lead!

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Seattle SuperSonics' rotation was Barea, Quentin Richardson, Wilkins, Millsap and Kwame Brown.

The Grizzlies' rotation is Kyle Lowry, Chucky Atkins, Juan Carlos Navarro, Cardinal, and Hakeem Varik.

The Grizzlies' rotation is also very luxurious. Chucky Atkins was the Grizzlies' best sixth man last season. This 1.80-meter guard averaged 13 points per game last season.

Juan Carlos Navarro is one of the best defenders in Europe. He was the main defender who won the Spanish World Championship last year. He is very strong.

Hakeem Warrick was an important rotation player at the Grizzlies' forward position last season, averaging 13 points and 5 rebounds per game.

Even Cardinal is a very experienced rotation.

Perhaps the worst member of the entire Grizzlies rotation is Kyle Lowry.

Lowry was reimbursed for the season after only playing 9 games in his rookie season last season.

The Grizzlies' rotation is very strong, but since it makes Stotts uneasy, it shows that the Grizzlies' rotation is naturally problematic.

The biggest issues with the Grizzlies' rotation are size and defense.

Lowry is 1.85 meters, Atkins is 1.80 meters, Navarro is 1.91 meters, Cardinal is 2.03 meters, and Warrick is 2.06 meters.

The Grizzlies don't have a true center in their rotation.

Now the league's center resources are very scarce.

Jerry West also wants to make up for the Grizzlies' shortcomings at center.

But in the free market in the summer, there were no suitable candidates. In the trading market, high-quality centers were not something that the Grizzlies could exchange for.

However, even if the center position is flawed, it cannot conceal the strength of the Grizzlies' rotation.

There are three players who can average more than 10+ per game at their peak, and they can really do whatever they want.

And the Grizzlies' rotation is surprisingly fast.

As far as the speed of the Grizzlies' rotation, even if the opponent really has an advantage inside, they may not be able to grasp it.

If the speed can't keep up, even if you have an advantage, you can only be chased and beaten!

Unless the opponent's big center has a very good singles ability, and most teams' rotation centers do not have such ability.

Therefore, after the game entered the rotation lineup, Jerry West, who came to the Key Arena with the team in the stands, was very calm.

The Sonics and most of the league couldn't grasp the weaknesses of the Grizzlies' rotation.

And that's why he refused to trade for a so-called 'high-quality' center.

In the current situation where the league's center position is not enough, he is not willing to replace Lowry with a false center who can only stand on the court and maintain the so-called center position.

It's just that Jerry West's ideas don't represent Stotts' ideas.

The Grizzlies' rotation is one of the best in the league.

The Sonics have one of the worst rotations in the league.

Now that the Sonics' rotation has Quentin Richardson and Kwame Brown, it may not be the worst.

But there is still a gap compared with the Grizzlies.

However, after the game restarted, the situation on the court was quite surprising.

Even Yees was stunned by Millsap on the field.

"Is Paul's offensive rebound so powerful?!"

"Not only offensive rebounds, but also shooting and footwork. Is Paul so strong?"

Millsap showed a very good offensive rebounding ability last season.

That's the only place he will be remembered from last season.

In addition, Millsap has never shown in any game the omnipotent ability that he is showing now!

Offensive rebounds, second offense, shooting and even footsteps at the basket!

Not that masterful, but against a flawed Grizzlies rotation, he can really do whatever he wants.

It's amazing!

"This is Millsap?!"

Are you sure this isn't O'Neal who can shoot? !

Barkley and Kenny Smith in the commentary were stunned.

Logically speaking, now should be the time for the Grizzlies to pull points.

The Grizzlies' rotation does have offense.

But the Grizzlies, who can attack so well, can only be evenly divided with the Supersonics after being blown up by Millsap in the paint.

If you insist on distinguishing high and low, the Grizzlies are only slightly dominant!

"Millsap was forcibly trained by Yes!"

The media reporters and audience at the scene, as well as the audience in front of the TV, thought this way for the first time.

As far as Millsap's ability was shown last season, the average NBA team has already thrown it away. How can they get close to 20 minutes of playing time!

And not only averaged 20 minutes per game, Yes sometimes went to the rotation lineup to teach Millsap hand in hand.

If it weren't for Rondo, Millsap would be the happiest and luckiest player in NBA history.

If Millsap can still perform like tonight in the future, and Yes trained him so hard last year, it will really be a success!

Can Millsap perform as he does today against other teams in the future?

No one knows.

Facing a rotation lineup of the Grizzlies level, if it was the same as last season, Ye Si would be forced to play after resting for two or three minutes below.

Otherwise, it will definitely be beaten.

Ye Si really didn't expect that he could see the day when his teammates in the rotation lineup and the top rotation lineup in the league were evenly divided so soon.

Of course, the Grizzlies are a bit special, and of course Yeth can see that Millsap is restraining the Grizzlies' rotation.

The Grizzlies' rotation has nothing to match Millsap.

This is why Millsap can kill the Quartet and do whatever he wants.

Three minutes into the second quarter, the Sonics took the lead in making substitutions.

Durant replaced Kwame Brown, who didn't have much effect on the court.

Kwame Brown is too hesitant to attack, and the defense can't keep up. Kwame Brown is not slow, but the Grizzlies are really fast. The three small guards run like flying.

Kwame Brown played quite uncomfortable on the court.

There is no problem with replacing Kwame Brown, but seeing Kwame Brown off the field and Durant on the field, the Supersonics fans who were amazed by Millsap at the scene were a little suffocated.

It doesn't matter that Durant has twice as many shots as Yes this season. If Yes is willing to give his shot to Durant, they don't care.

But apart from the phone calls, what made them complain and unacceptable the most was that Durant played more minutes than Yes!

What does it mean?

As long as you are not a fool, you can see that Durant's playing time does not mean how important he is to the Sonics.

It's all because the Sonics are making up for Durant!

Now who doesn't know that Durant has a minimum consumption of 30 shots per game!

Don't get off the court if you don't take 30 shots in a game.

There is no problem with Durant taking too many shots. This is Yes's choice. He has created opportunities to shoot and pass the ball.

But many of Durant's shots are not shots that create opportunities.

If you exclude the shots that the Sonics forced Durant to make up for, maybe Durant's average number of shots per game can be reduced by more than 5 times!

With Durant taking five fewer shots, maybe Yes and the Sonics can score five more points!

In the first quarter of the game, Durant only took 7 shots and scored 6 points on 2 of 7 shots.

In the NBA, even if it is a super giant, 7 shots in a quarter are not too few.

But for Durant, he did not complete his minimum consumption of shots in a quarter.

He needs to throw a few more in the second quarter.

Now the Sonics' rotation lineup is playing very well, and Durant is suddenly added, which makes the Sonics fans on the scene a little disgusted.

Of course Durant can feel the disgust of the Sonics fans, he is so sensitive.

He doesn't want to take so many shots per game if he can.

But there is no way, this is the trust of Yes!

At least 30 shots per game, this is also the task of Yes!

Yes is using his actions to train him, to make him hostile to the whole world for the sake of trust, and facing the pressure of the whole world, how can he back down? !

He wants to prove to the whole world that Yes' trust and cultivation of him are not wrong!

Sooner or later, he can be the Pippen of Yes!

Looking at the player with at least 2.08 meters in front of him shooting in front of him, Navarro is desperate, he is only 1.91 meters!

And this guy is still a jumper!

Do you want to bully people like this? !

Faced with such a bullying style of play, Navarro can do nothing but post it, trying to give this big tall guy the last trace of interference.

As far as his strength and confrontation are concerned, he doesn't think that being so close to him is of any use, this is just his last desperate cry.

Bang bang!

The basketball thrown by Durant opened his hand and hit Lan's neck hard.

Durant: ...

Navarro: ...

Sonic Audience:  …

The audience in front of the TV: ...

Kobe: ...

The moment Durant missed the shot, the live broadcast camera immediately focused on Ye Si who was sitting off the court.

The language of this lens is also absolutely perfect!

Kobe swears, as long as Yes has the slightest frown or the slightest displeasure on his face, the public opinion facing Durant tomorrow will be shocking!

Although the public opinion Durant is facing now is more terrifying than the public opinion he faced in 2004.

This guy Durant is really amazing.

With so many chances he got in the first few games, any first-round rookie can shoot more than 45% of his shots. He, the worst iron god who has been hacked, may hit 50% of his shots.

Durant is better, shooting 34% from the field.

If anyone on his team squandered the chances he created, his eyes would have been wide open.

Don't stare at you, you don't know the death stare of the black mamba!

Just now Durant faced Navarro's iron shot, he absolutely couldn't help it.

Yes can't help it!

It should be said that no one can bear it!

This rebroadcast camera, this is making trouble!

But why am I so excited? !

I look forward to Yes frowning and unhappy look.

It's not easy to see some other emotions on the face of Yes!

Um? !

Yes didn't frown, and there was no displeasure on his face, yet Yes was applauding!

Yes actually clapped with a smile on his face!

This is satisfaction, this is encouragement, and this is support!

"Even if Yes hit the lore shot, the expression on his face has never been so rich?!"

Barkley doesn't know what to say now.

Last season, it was said that Rondo was Yes' mother.

What kind of treatment is this for Durant? !

This is what the die-hard Durant fan who is very popular on the Internet "not fifteen is the second" said: Yes lost the world, but what he got was Yes!

How much you hate KD, how much you hate KD, how much you envy KD!

In addition to the hype, this diehard Durant fan of "not fifteen is second" is really quite philosophical.

Be reasonable, not to mention narrow-mindedness and character issues.

As far as Yes's strength in cultivating Durant is concerned, who in this world is not envious? !

Whether it's Oden sitting on the bench for the Grizzlies or Rondo sitting on the bench for the Sonics, they are all pantothenic in their hearts now!

Durant's playing shifted the focus on the court.

But Millsap's performance is even more conspicuous!

Without the opportunity created by Ye Si, facing Navarro, a small player with a height of 1.91 meters, Durant's shooting rate is simply ridiculously low!

To what extent?

McGrady in front of the TV couldn't stand it anymore!

"Put me against Navarro, I can score 100 points! I'm talking about my rookie period!"

boast!

After McGrady finished speaking, Yao Ming and others beside him complained in their hearts.

However, Durant's performance on the court is really unbearable.

A player who seems to be at least 2.06 meters is facing a close defense of a 1.91-meter player.

4 consecutive shots, 4 consecutive irons, what is this?

Even if Navarro made some small moves, it wouldn't affect anything at all?

Watching the scene on TV where Durant is constantly hitting the iron and Millsap is constantly grabbing offensive rebounds, James laughed.

Before, he always felt that Durant was a rookie of the same level as his former teammate Shannon Brown, about 26th in the first round.

Now James feels he needs to take his previous thinking back.

Even Shannon Brown, it is impossible to shoot this kind of 4 strikes in one round, allowing his teammates to grab 4 offensive rebounds.

Durant is good at shooting!

If Durant's specialty is like this.

That would be so much fun!

Millsap's surprise in this game surprised him.

He really didn't expect Millsap to be trained by Yes.

I don't know what will happen to Millsap in the future. In this game, Millsap is definitely a gangster-level existence.

It's amazing how a piece of shit can turn into a bench guy.

But Durant's performance turned his surprise into a warm expectation!

Imagine that the 23vs9 that the United States is looking forward to is realized in the finals.

If his opponent is Durant, what kind of picture should it be?

He can crush this Yes' Pippen!

Yes actually selected a rookie in the second round with the No. 2 pick, which is really laughable.

"It's trash time, Durant left Yes for the first time!"

"Facts have proved that 34% shooting rate is still too high for Durant. Without those magical behind-the-head passes passed by Yes, this game is constantly hitting the iron against players like Navarro. It is Durant's true strength!"

"Durant has grown an excellent static talent for nothing!"

"Durant reminds me of Shannon Brown and James White. Talent can really deceive people's eyes sometimes!"

"Don't insult Shannon Brown and James White, maybe one of them can become Kobe and the other James by Yes's side!"

When Durant faced Navarro's close defense and frantically hit the iron, not only Barkley and Kenny Smith, but media commentators all over the world were crazily complaining about Durant.

This iron is so eye-catching!

Navarro himself did not expect that he would become a defensive sharp knife and a defensive master in the NBA.

This is really a foil to peers.

Facing Durant's offense before, he was scared and desperate.

Now, in the face of Durant's offense, Navarro is full of expectations.

If you face Durant every game, can he become the best defensive player?

Of course, this is just a joke.

The Defensive Player of the Year won't be awarded to a player who defends Durant well.

It is also awarded to players who defend Yes or defend Kobe well.

Six minutes into the second quarter, when the time came to the official timeout of the second quarter, Durant came off the court with a hot cheek.

If it wasn't for the fact that there was still a game to play, he would have been ready to run off the court.

It was his worst game ever.

In the three minutes without Yes, he took a total of 6 shots, 1 of 6.

After four consecutive irons, his hit rate is actually not bad, 1 for 2, but it really doesn't make any sense when it comes to the overall hit rate.

So far, after playing halftime, his shooting percentage is 3 of 13. This is a shooting percentage that can make people find a crack in the ground to get in!

If it weren't for his sensitive heart, the emotions he felt from Yes were still encouragement, satisfaction and support, as long as Yes was even slightly dissatisfied with him, he would have no face to stay in the supersonic.

Seeing that his teammates, except Yes, now ignore him and hide away from him, Durant really understands the thoughts of these teammates for the first time.

If his team had a teammate who was 10-for-30 and 3-for-13 at every turn, he would definitely be very upset, right? !

He definitely doesn't have the mind of Yes, and forced him to become the "No. 1 Perimeter Team in History"!

The official timeout in the second quarter ended, and it was a rare time in Yees' career that he took a full six-minute break in the second quarter.

It was 52-48 when Yees returned to the field with the Sonics.

Facing the Grizzlies' super rotation lineup, the Sonics' rotation lineup only lost by 4 points.

This is really thanks to Millsap's performance, Millsap scored 10 points and 9 rebounds in a single quarter.

Eight of the nine rebounds were offensive rebounds.

Durant alone contributed 5.

The starting players of both sides stood on the court again.

This made the Supersonics fans at the scene very excited.

Although Millsap's stunning rotation in this game is also very good to watch.

Coupled with Durant's crazy blacksmithing, it is also very interesting.

It's heartbreaking to see!

Although it is heartbreaking to see Durant standing beside Yes, but you can always see Yes's performance, right?

The game restarted in the second quarter, and Oden's eyes on Durant became even more uncomfortable.

He has no way to play by the teacher's side, he admits, who let the teacher get the second pick, he is the number one pick.

But why is Durant? !

Even if it was McConley standing next to the teacher, he recognized it, but why was it Durant?

As reported by USA Today, apart from being an expanded version of Rondo, Durant does not see any qualities that can be favored by Yes.

With Yes's passing ability, he cultivates who is not cultivated, who is passed is not passed, and it is not that only Durant can receive these balls.

Since this is the case, wouldn't it be better to choose a better player to train?

Since the master didn't choose the best player, he chose the player he likes the most.

What kind of player does the teacher like?

Rondo last season has already given the answer.

As far as he knows, there are many strange training courses in the United States now.

"Teach you how to look more like Rondo in 30 days!"

"Slender figure, huge hands, awkward personality, do you want to be drafted by Yes? Do you want to enter the NBA? As long as you meet the above qualities, even if you can't play basketball, we can let you be picked by Yes and enter the Sonics , clear the data, get a big contract!"

Now there is a "Rondo fever" in the whole United States.

The teacher is now overwhelmed by players like Rondo!

No matter what this game is, let the teacher refresh himself!

No matter how strong the teacher is, with such a player, it is impossible to realize his dream in the NBA!

Even if my teacher's dream and I are no longer together, I also like that the teacher's dream can come true!

"I don't want to face the teacher in the future, I am the champion, and the teacher has nothing!"

The game between the Grizzlies and the Sonics was exciting and tense.

Unexpectedly wonderful, but also unexpectedly tense!

Before the start of this game, most people did not expect that this game could be played like it is now.

The Grizzlies have too much of an advantage, and the Sonics don't seem to have the slightest chance of winning.

The Sonics had played their first four games well.

Most of the media in the United States are amazed at Yes' ability to lead the team.

Yes's ability to lead the team is really nothing to say.

It can be seen from the fact that he led the weakest team in history to the Western Conference Finals last season.

Now with a weaker team than last season, where is the limit for Yes?

If the Grizzlies can be defeated in this game, even if Durant is holding back, it will give the coconut powder and the coconut powder media great expectations.

It is precisely because of this reason that this game is not only watched by fans across the United States.

David Stern is also watching.

The ratings of the Sonics' games this season are still very high.

But it's also true that the Sonics' ratings are down compared to last season.

Why is it falling?

It's not because the Sonics' results are likely to be very bad.

Many fans don't want to see Yes look embarrassed after losing.

Human nature.

If the Supersonics can win this game against the Grizzlies, then this will be a very huge shot in the arm!

Bring back those viewers who don't want to see Yes in distress!

David Stern can be sure that as long as these people are brought back again, the ratings of the Sonics this season will be higher than last season.

What this means when the broadcast contract is being negotiated is self-evident!

Sonics beat the Grizzlies? !

David Stern is not a head coach, but he is not a completely ignorant person either.

This is an almost impossible task.

Even if you don't watch the past, just watch this game.

As far as what was shown in this game, on the Sonics court, no one can compare with the Grizzlies except Yes!

The game between the Sonics and the Grizzlies is a typical Yes one-man game against the Grizzlies-one team!

The Grizzlies are constantly playing to their overall advantage.

On the Supersonic side, they are constantly using the powerful strength of Yes.

Either break through Carter and attack by himself, or throw it to Durant to attack.

For Yes, this is not the first time he has played a team by himself.

Not even the second time, or the third time, or the fourth, fifth, or sixth time.

But how could the Grizzlies be comparable to those ordinary teams!

This team needs to be talented, capable, capable, and has almost no weaknesses!

"After coming back, Oden played too strongly in the game!"

"Unbelievable height, incredible athletic ability, is this a big center that can attack with the ball? Milicic looks so slow in front of Oden!"

Oden's overall quality is amazing, Milicic's defense is very hard, and he is doing everything he can to block Oden.

But it always feels a little bit slow.

Watching Oden's incredible performance against Milicic, even the Sonics fans were amazed.

"This is the first time Oden has shown his desire to attack in a game. In the first few games, he focused more on the defensive end!"

"Oden proved that as long as he wants, he can also have the potential to be the protagonist on the offensive end!"

The protagonist of the offense? !

After Oden scored a goal, looking at the No. 9 Supersonic running frantically forward, whether it was Barkley or Kenny Smith, their faces showed alarmed expressions.

The protagonist of the NBA offense? !

This talent is the protagonist of the NBA offensive end!

Even if this game has Durant, the current scoring leader in the league.

Even if this game has Oden, the most powerful monster in the league in the future.

Now the protagonist of the NBA offensive end is just this guy.

Everyone else is a supporting role!

Watching the familiar speed and the familiar daring as Yees started to run, Stotts' mind flashed back to the scene where his Bucks were washed away last season.

He knew too well what the reappearance of the picture that had appeared so many times in the dream meant!

"Grizzlies players are already fast!"

"But they're still too tall!"

"Even Carter, he can't keep up with Yes' speed!"

Seeing the number 9 running farther and farther away, Rondo, who was standing in the backcourt and advancing slowly, glanced disdainfully at Durant who asked him why he didn't follow him.

If you want to follow, just follow yourself, the second master will not accompany you!

Bitch!

Seeing Rondo's eyes, Durant really felt that he was going to be an adult!

Everyone is playing fast break with Yes, and you are here to procrastinate, procrastinate!

Durant glared at Rondo angrily, no longer caring about Rondo, and ran directly to the frontcourt.

And just after Durant took a few steps.

There was a whoosh sound in the ear!

The orange basketball flew past him quickly, brushing his ears!

Such a long-distance direct transmission? !

This person is crazy? !

Why not sell high? !

No matter how angry you are, you can't do this!

What if someone stopped in the middle? !

Just when Durant was about to turn his head to stare at Rondo, the fast-flying basketball passed through the interceptions of Battier and Mike Miller one after another, and went directly to Yes who was running in the front!

Carter is already chasing back hard, as long as he is given a little chance, as long as Yes catches the ball or other actions are a little slower, with his bounce, he will have a chance to chase and defend the block!

"Vince, be careful!"

"What?!"

Just as Carter was about to block the shot, a basketball passed his ear.

"So fast?!"

This pass is too fast!

Yes catches the ball too fast!

Bang!

Without giving Carter any chance to block the shot, the figure who caught his attention leaped high and smashed the basketball into the basket!

"Speed! Speed! Speed!!!"

"Incredible attack speed!"

"Yes's speed can restrain the speed of a grizzly bear!"

"When the Grizzlies are playing fast, there's no way they can defend against Yes using their quick counters to their counters!"

Looking at the man who fell from the basket, Carter looked horrified.

On the sidelines, Stotts also looked unbelievably at the Supersonics bench.

Old Nelson!

“Pretty good fast fast!”

Supersonic's tactic is too timely!

The most amazing and terrifying thing about the Grizzlies game is their combination of speed and height!

Yes' fast break this time directly abolished the fast-paced play of the Grizzlies!

After the Grizzlies brought up the rhythm, it was impossible to stop the fast break of Yes!

Rondo's long pass, Yes's speed, the Sonics have the fastest counterattack speed in the league!

If the Grizzlies don't fall into a positional fight, then they will be killed by Yes with a fast fast fast break!

If it falls into position, then the efficiency of the Grizzlies will drop!

The Grizzlies without speed are absolutely impossible to score 32 points in a single quarter like they did in the first quarter.

The Grizzlies can't, but the Sonics can!

The two teams fell into a positional battle, and the Grizzlies still couldn't solve Yes' ball possession and breakthrough problems!

No one in the Grizzlies can stop Yes' breakthrough!

Keep breaking through, keep jumping, keep shooting, keep passing the ball behind your head!

sharp!

so amazing!

Old Nelson is great!

Yes is even more powerful!

A team as strong as the Grizzlies was suppressed by Yes alone!

Such an amazing Grizzly was completely restrained tactically by Yes!

Can the Sonics win this game? !

!

The Seattle SuperSonics defeated the mighty Grizzlies by 9 points at home.

The moment the game ended, the key arena on TV was exploding!

Watching the Supersonics record and Yes data played on TV, Kobe can understand the mood of the Supersonics fans now.

4 wins and 1 loss in 5 games, third in the West!

14 of 18 shots, 38 points, 8 rebounds and 12 assists!

Almost perfect record, almost perfect data!

It's just that Durant made 11 of 33 shots from the field, which is a bit eye-catching.

It's just that, taking a player like Durant to defeat a strong enemy like the Grizzlies, doesn't it make Yes more perfect? !

"too strong!"

"Yes is so strong! It's so exciting!"

After the game ended, Ye Si was also looking at the statistics.

Not his stats, but Durant's stats.

This is one of his main purposes of this game.

Test that odd quality in Durant.

He made 11 of 33 shots and a 33.3% hit rate.

Can he bring 3 out of 13 in the opening game to 34%? !

Jesse was genuinely surprised.
