Chapter 564: Fairy Tales and Nightmares, Great and Tragic!

In the melancholy eyes of coach Romar, Yes left the University of Washington.

Because of his intervention, coach Lorenzo Romar, who was originally planning to select JaMychal Green and Willie Warren as the core this year, chose Green and Klay Thompson.

As someone who played more than 2,000 games with the 2016 Warriors, his familiarity with these three players has reached a level that perhaps others cannot imagine.

For anyone who loves basketball, the 2016 Warriors were amazing.

The spark that these three people create together is incredible.

After having the opportunity to see the sparks between these three so many years in advance, it was difficult for Ye Si to refuse.

Even if the three of them are still young now, the sparks may not be that big, and that doesn't matter.

Curry, Thompson and Green don't generate enough heat from the friction, so he can help.

After being tortured by the 2016 Warriors for so many games, he still has a slight understanding of the 2016 Warriors' tactics. He has no problem teaching the current Curry, Thompson and Green.

For Curry, if the NCAA continues to fail this year, staying will be a very risky thing, but it is also something that has to be done.

For Coach Romar, taking the University of Washington to compete in the NCAA next season is also a very helpless thing for Alexander.

But for him, he only has expectations for Curry and his team's performance in the NCAA next season, extremely huge expectations!

Under his education, Ye Si hopes to see if these three people can reach different heights!

The incident at the University of Washington did not affect the Sonics' preparations for the game against the Suns.

The entire Sonics know what this game with the Suns means.

If you win this game, you will completely knock the Sun off the altar!

If you lose this game, you will completely expose your back to the daggers of the Nuggets, Lakers and Spurs.

For these Sonics players, this is a game that is almost impossible to lose.

To say that the entire season's efforts were concentrated into this game may be a bit too much.

But this game is indeed one of the most important games for the Sonics this season.

No matter from which angle you look at it, the sun is a big mountain in front of Supersonics.

This season, the Sonics have never climbed over this mountain.

March 20, 2008, Key Arena, Seattle.

The game between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Phoenix Suns, which may determine the pattern of the next regular season in the Western Conference, is finally about to begin.

When the live footage came on the TV, Kobe, Anthony, Duncan, Yao Ming, Oden and others who had finished the game early today were all watching in front of the TV with bated breath.

As a player for the Rockets, now second in the Western Conference, Yao Ming certainly supports the SuperSonics.

If the Sonics win, the Rockets can top the Western Conference!

As for the remaining Kobe, Duncan and Anthony, of course they support the Suns. Only if the Suns win will they have the opportunity to drag the SuperSonics from the third position.

As for Oden and the Grizzlies, it doesn't matter to them, anyway, the position they are focusing on is the Nuggets.

"Based on the competition between the two teams before this season, the Suns' record was three wins and zero losses. In this game, the Suns are also the more favored side."

Yao Ming, Roy and their teammates want the Sonics to win.

But it's tough.

The Suns and SuperSonics are two very familiar teams.

Last season, the Suns defeated the SuperSonics in the Western Conference Finals, entered the Finals, and won the championship.

The two teams have also played three games before this season.

In the past 14 games between the two teams in the regular season and playoffs, the Suns won 12 and the SuperSonics won two.

The Sonics won two games in the playoffs with Yes's superb performance.

"Ever since we chose to take Yes out of the game in the playoffs last season, we have been very clear about what is the key to winning our game against the Sonics."

"As long as Yes remains in the game, the Sonics have a chance to win. We know Yes better than anyone in the world. He is a player who can perform miracles."

"In order to prevent Yes from performing miracles, we will still adopt the tactic of taking him out of the game in this game."

"We were able to sacrifice two of our best defensive players for that."

Thinking about what Suns head coach D'Antoni said at the pre-game press conference before the game started, Yao Ming always had an incredible feeling.

The Suns' tactic of taking Yes out of the game was to have the Suns' two strongest perimeter defenders, Laga Bell and Marion, guard Ye Zi at all times.

Little Leaf wants to attack?

Okay, one versus two!

One person beats both Lagabel and Marion!

In the entire league, there has never been a player in this world who can play one against two, Laga Bell and Marion.

There aren't that many players in the entire league who can beat Laga Bell and Marion one-on-one.

Little Ye Zi was being guarded by these two people all the time, so naturally he was called out of the game, even though Little Ye Zi was actually still standing on the court.

But there was no way to do anything.

The Suns' tactic of taking Ye Zi out of the game actually has very serious drawbacks.

As long as the offense of other Sonics players can make the Suns pay penalties, then the Suns' extreme tactics will change.

But what the Suns are very willing to see is that their tactic not only allowed them to successfully defeat the SuperSonics in the playoffs and enter the finals.

It also allowed them to successfully maintain a complete victory over the SuperSonics in the regular season this season.

It can only be said that the offensive capabilities of other Sonics players are indeed not that outstanding.

It should be said that other Sonics players are indeed not that good in isolation.

The two defensive players of the Suns are all next to Xiaoye. The other players are 4 on 3. However, because of Rondo, it is actually 3.5 on 3. In the previous three games, Durant and Millsap or It's Milicic's singles ability that can penetrate his opponent, which will make it difficult for the Suns.

But the reality is so cruel. In the previous games, Durant, David Lee and Milicic all had the ability to play in singles, but they did not have the ability to penetrate the opponent's players. They could play, but they could not play all the time.

Still, this game was different.

In the previous three games, Durant was a tall fort, and now he has developed a good ability to break through with the ball at the expense of Xiaoye.

In the previous three games, Durant's singles, like Milicic and David Lee, were not first-rate. But now, Durant's singles are indeed first-rate.

However, Durant's status seems to be having some problems recently. In the previous game with the Boston Celtics, Durant almost got into a fight with Tony Allen.

Even in the previous winning game between the Sonics and the Timberwolves, Durant and Gay almost had a conflict.

As a teammate of the All-Star team, Yao Ming actually has a good impression of Durant.

This is a person who looks cold, but is also very hard-working. During the All-Star period, Yao Ming really didn't see that Durant's temper was so big.

However, Yao Ming does not find it incomprehensible that Durant has been grumpy recently.

This kid still has a little bit of inferiority complex.

Now the feeling of inferiority is sensitively expressed.

However, what Yao Ming can't understand is that Durant didn't have low self-esteem before, so why does he suddenly feel low self-esteem now?

In the past, when the whole world was complaining that he was not worthy of Yes, not worthy of the Sonics, and not worthy of the title of Pippen next to Yes, he did not feel inferior.

Why is it that now that he has gained some recognition from everyone, he feels inferior to himself?

This is indeed quite incomprehensible.

Yao Ming can't understand Durant's current mental state.

And this is why he has no confidence in the outcome of this game for the Sonics.

As the Suns' most important opponent in the Western Conference, Yao Ming and the Rockets have a very clear understanding of the Suns.

This is a very crazy team!

If you are not crazy, can you use Marion and Lagabell to take Xiao Ye out of the game when facing Xiao Ye?

No team in the NBA would dare to do this kind of thing!

Because they were shocked by Little Leaf's passing, the entire league's current defensive strategy against Little Leaf is to double-team when Little Leaf is running without the ball, and to defend alone when Little Leaf is holding the ball.

How can anyone like the Suns create so many passing opportunities for the Leafs with such constant flanking?

It can be said that as long as other Sonics players have better singles and offensive abilities, the Suns will not win so easily!

But among the other SuperSonics players, except for Ye Zi, Durant is the most stable on the offensive end. Now Durant still has such a problem.

"This game will be even worse for the Sonics at home..."

After the game started, Yao Ming sighed as he watched the Suns use Laga Bell and Marion to take Xiao Ye out of the game as usual.

In the entire league, only the Suns dare to do such a thing.

After all, their offense is their backbone.

No matter how big Durant's recent psychological problems are, as long as the opportunity balls passed by Xiaoye to Durant under the attack of Marion and Laga Bell, Durant can create good results whether he is attacking or passing. Opportunity.

The Sonics' offense is definitely not that bad against a defense like the Suns.

In this game, the Sonics had no problem scoring more than 115 points against a defense like the Suns.

These 115 points were basically given to the SuperSonics by the Suns.

In order to minimize the impact of the little leaf on the court, the Suns are willing to lose more than 115 points.

In the history of the NBA, no team has the confidence to give the opponent 115 points in vain and still defeat the opponent.

In the history of the NBA, no team can guarantee that it can score more than 115 points in a game.

but……

The current Suns do have such confidence. Facing the Sonics' defense, they do have the confidence to score more points than they gave the Sonics.

They gave the Sonics 115 points, and they were confident that they could score more than 115 points.

They gave the Sonics 120 points, and they were confident that they could score more than 120 points.

This is how they won the first three games this season.

They also won the last two games of the Western Conference Finals last season in the same way.

In this game, the Sonics worked very hard and were well prepared. After all, the Suns had a set of tactics in the previous five games, and even a fool would know how to prepare.

only……

"Durant's playing style in this game was a bit abnormal. After he received the ball from Yes, compared with his previous decisive attacks, he passed more and took fewer offensive shots in this game. Durant Is Rand going to change his style of play?”

"Also, Durant's investment in defense has also increased in this game!"

Yao Ming could clearly feel the surprise of his teammates.

The key to this game is Durant. Whether Durant can welcome back the little Ye Zi who was sent out of the game by the Suns will be the winner of this game.

Durant's best way to welcome back Little Leaf is to use his offense to hurt the Suns!

Yao Ming believes that Durant and the Sonics must know this, but Durant still chose to use other methods to welcome Xiaoye back during the game.

Then there is only one reason!

"Durant is not so confident in his current offense..."

Durant doesn't believe that his current offense can welcome the Leafs back into the game just through offense!

It turns out that this is the reason why Durant has low self-esteem!

Durant knows that his strength has reached its upper limit!

Thinking of this, Yao Ming's face became worried.

Little Ye Zi...it's really difficult now...

In fact, Yao Ming didn't need to notice this game. Kobe, Anthony, Duncan and Oden were all aware of it in front of the TV.

We are not fools. Durant's choices on the court are too immature and too simple.

On the Suns bench on the sidelines, D'Antoni always had a smile on his face.

The tactic of taking Yes out of the game was the greatest discovery of his career!

Yes, if you want to score points and participate in the game with your own offense, just beat Marion and Laga Bell, otherwise, use your own passing to pass the offense to your teammates.

And the teammate he can trust most on the offensive end is Durant!

In this game, he was not confident on the offensive end, making hard passes with hot hands, and making passes that were either not in place or made mistakes. This young small forward's potential is only what it is now!

!

A pretty easy win.

For D'Antoni, what makes him even happier is the victory in this game.

When Durant reaches his limit, he reaches the limit of a quasi-All-Star. As long as the other main attacker next to Yes does not change, then Yes will never be able to beat the Suns!

The miracle Yes that scared him and his team almost to death in the Western Conference Finals last season will no longer be a threat at all!

Without the threat of Yes, the entire west would be no longer difficult.

Looking at the Sonics No. 35 who bowed his head and said nothing, and looked at the No. 9 who always stood with No. 35 on the court, D'Antoni's face showed respect and sympathy.

Still standing next to Durant like this is a fairy tale for a great teacher.

What others see is a fairy tale.

What the great teacher himself felt was a nightmare.

What the great teacher does in Sonics is to turn his nightmares into other people's fairy tales... great and tragic.
