Chapter 606: The Result that Shocked the World!

The first game between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Phoenix Suns left the entire world in a state of confusion.

Even the defending champions of the already very mature Suns team had some doubts about life at the end of the game.

Fortunately, the Suns' head coach D'Antoni inspired the team immediately after the game, sweeping away all the team's doubts and doubts, and at the same time completely regaining the team's confidence.

At the end of the first game between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Suns, viewers around the world who watched the game could feel the confusion radiating from the Suns. The kind of little kitten that was originally holding a handful suddenly appeared in front of them. Become the confusion of a lion.

But before the start of the second game, when we saw these Suns players again at America West Arena, the fans on the sidelines, the audience in front of the TV, and the commentators and reporters in the stadium saw the confident Suns again.

"D'Antoni is a coach who is very good at motivating players. The Phoenix Suns lost the first game against the SuperSonics, but don't forget, they are still the biggest favorites in the league!"

"Before the start of this game, the odds given by major bookmakers were whether the Phoenix Suns could win at home by more than 10 points!"

"Winning the first game will give SuperSonics players great confidence. Coupled with Yes's regular season VP trophy and Durant's Rookie of the Year trophy, the Seattle SuperSonics have been very happy in recent days. But this does not change the strength of this team. Compared with the Suns, they are still a weaker team."

Because in the last game, the SuperSonics defeated the Suns on the road, the national media obviously paid more attention to this game.

When the last game started, all these people were remembering the SuperSonics' last round game against the Nuggets.

And now, at the beginning of the game, these media reporters across the United States are paying more attention to this series.

It’s not just these media reporters, there are fans, audiences, and many celebrities who like to take advantage of the popularity.

It can be said that the second game between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Suns once again appeared in the spotlight.

The Sonics are still the weak side now, but the Sonics do have hope of defeating the Suns. Is this true?

As long as there is hope, it is worth looking forward to!

“The morale of both teams for this game was very good.

"

Before the game started, the palms of CCTV reporters Wang Han and Lin Rui in the press box were slightly sweaty.

This is the second game of this series.

But because the Sonics won the first game, this game is very important for both teams.

If the Seattle SuperSonics win, then the Suns will be really in danger.

And if the Suns win, then the SuperSonics may be in danger. Maybe the Suns will play four games in a row and take the SuperSonics away.

It's not impossible.

In the history of the NBA playoffs, after a weak team sneaked into a strong team in the first game due to luck, it brought up the fighting spirit and morale of the strong team, and finally brought disaster to the weak team!

Luck really doesn't exist in every game.

If the Sonics continue to win this game, it will naturally prove that this is not luck.

But Durant really has that ability.

When Durant really has that ability, the Suns won't be able to double-team Yez so frantically. Then the Suns will have to change his tactics.

And the whole world knows that D'Antoni is a very poor coach.

Falling behind 0-2, and still being the one that needs to make changes, this is quite desperate for the Suns.

Of course, this is just her personal speculation. Whether Durant really has the ability to score 40+ in a single game against Grant Hill is obviously not possible.

In the regular season, even Kobe can't guarantee that he will get 40+ in singles against Grant Hill in every game.

Therefore, Durant's 46-point performance in the last game was absolutely a result of luck and a superb performance.

Judging from Durant's score in the last game and the SuperSonics' final win, as long as Durant has a shooting percentage of about 50 in each game and Grant Hill scores about 36 points in isolation, the Sonics will be fine. Defeat the sun.

And the Suns are in good shape.

In the last game, the Suns' offensive state was very good.

Facing the 36-year-old Grant Hill, scoring more than 36 points in isolation with a shooting percentage of about 50 per game?

This is a bit demanding for Durant.

Durant's current strength is that of a quasi-All-Star, not an All-Star. To achieve this, he must at least be an All-Star, and he must be a top-tier All-Star, an All-Star that is infinitely close to a superstar.

Durant obviously cannot be such a player.

Therefore, before the game, Wang Han knew that although media experts across the United States said that there was suspense in this series, when asked which team they were optimistic about qualifying, more than 80% of the experts supported the Suns.

Not to mention these American experts, even those domestic experts who unconditionally supported Ye Si did not dare to boast too much before the start of this game.

I'm really afraid that it will end badly if I blow it too big.

Although the Rockets have the best regular season record this year and are the only team to break the Bulls' record that year, the most prestigious team in the past two years has been the Suns.

The power of the sun is engraved in everyone's heart.

For such a team, no one will underestimate it, only overestimate it.

As far as Wang Han is concerned, she can even accept the Sonics losing in this game. As long as the loss is not so ugly and it is not more than 10 points given by outside bookmakers, then there will be no problem.

Why do bookmakers set a 10-point cutoff?

Wang Han can guess it, because the bookmaker believes that the Suns will not be as good as the last game in this game. Even if D'Antoni's motivation is magical and can maintain the morale of the Suns, the physical condition of the Suns players will be difficult to compare with the last game. , the Suns in this game will score fewer points than the Suns in the previous game.

The Sonics in this game will also score less than the Sonics in the last game, and they will score a lot less. In the last game, Durant scored 46 points, and the team won by 11 points. In this game, Durant scored 46 points. If the score is 25 points, then the Sonics will lose by 10 points after a simple calculation.

Can Durant score 25 points with a shooting percentage of around 50 in this game?

Opportunities are rare, or impossible. Durant may score more than 25 points, but the efficiency is definitely not that high.

This is equivalent to Durant and the Sonics being worse than expected, and the Suns being worse than expected. Naturally, the 10-point gap is reasonable.

Wang Han could guess the thinking of these gambling companies, but naturally it was impossible for Wang Han to know their specific calculation methods.

As a spectator and fan, it is very disturbing to know that the team you support is the weak side.

Wang Han and Lin Rui feel like this now.

Extremely uneasy.

Even after the game started, when Milicic defeated Stoudemire and got the first offense of the game with a jump ball for the SuperSonics, Wang Han wanted to close his eyes.

After the Suns started this game, they became very resolute in flanking Yes. Marion and Laga Bell, the two players who were a little confused and panicked in the previous game, became determined again in this game.

So when Ye Si jumped high and dropped the basketball in his hand into Durant's hand, Wang Han really didn't dare to watch.

She knew very well that the success of Durant's first offensive single to Grant Hill in this game determined too many things.

Not only Wang Han knew this very well, but others also knew it quite well.

Although we know that Durant's explosion in the last game was an accident, in this game Durant will return to his previous quasi-All-Star level.

But D'Antoni is still very nervous.

99 may be his win, but as long as it is not 100, anyone may lose.

What if Durant is also in good shape for this game?

Watching Durant facing Grant Hill's defense on the court, he did not choose to pass the ball, but was confident enough to beat Grant Hill alone just like in the previous game. D'Antoni really clenched his fists with both hands. .

left?

Or the right? !

The pressure on Grant Hill in this game is very high.

The team's two defensive knives, Marion and Laga Bell, are all beside Yes, and he has become the only player on the team who can match up with Durant.

Durant's change of direction in the last game put a lot of psychological pressure on him.

The coach said that Durant had an explosive state in the last game. Most of Durant's high-frequency breakthroughs would end in mistakes.

D'Antoni made him believe in his own strength.

Grant Hill himself is indeed willing to believe in his own strength and also believes that Durant does not have the ability to explode like the last game in every game.

However, can you imagine the shock that a 2.08-meter player would bring to people by changing directions as frequently as a defender?

Regardless of whether Durant can still use those incredible breakthroughs in this game, he must be prepared to defend these magical breakthroughs.

He is a 36-year-old veteran, and his athletic ability is still good, but his lateral movement is really not enough.

For older players, the slowest thing is not speed, but lateral movement!

For those NBA superstars, when they get older, the fastest deterioration is not the offense, but the defense. The reason is the deterioration of lateral speed.

It can be said that Durant's incredible breakthrough is the most cruel offensive method against veterans.

If he wanted to block Durant's move, he could only retreat. His body could no longer keep up with Durant's breakthrough, but he still had predictions!

Is it the right side? !

Seeing Durant in front of him complete the hand-to-hand dribble, Grant Hill quickly took a prejudgmental step to the left, but soon, he discovered that he was wrong!

Not the right side, the left side!

Even if he has taken a step back, facing such a drastic change of direction from Durant, there is no possibility for him to correct his misjudgment!

A moment later, a bang came from behind!

Grant Hill knew exactly what was happening behind him without even looking back.

"Pretty, beautiful!"

Both coconut fans and Suns fans in the American West Arena were stunned at this time.

"This start... is almost like a continuation of the end of the last game... Isn't Durant's last game really just luck? Does he really have such strength?!"

Before the start of this game, the morale of the Suns players was quite high.

However, the audience at the scene and the audience in front of the TV could clearly see that after Durant succeeded in a breakthrough dunk that shook the mountain like a tiger, the morale of the Suns players changed from firmness to wavering at a speed visible to the naked eye, and slowly began to Became suspicious.

"Durant's left and right hands are so balanced!"

"This is too bad for Grant Hill who needs to anticipate to defend. Grant Hill has no way to press the edge!"

"In the past, when we evaluated Durant's right-hand balance, the final evaluation was mediocre, but now, this is no longer mediocre, but excellent!"

"Beautiful. This time Durant didn't break through. Durant chose to pull up. He was incredibly confident and hit again!"

"Not only was Grant Hill's lateral movement restrained by Durant's drastic change of direction, Grant Hill's height and wingspan were also restrained by Durant!"

"For Grant Hill, maybe Durant is more difficult to defend than Kobe!"

Too fierce!

Durant's offense was too fierce in this game!

Grant Hill is really like an ATM in front of Durant!

Seeing the Suns collapsing in the first half of the game on the court, Kenny Smith was really shocked.

The SuperSonics' performance in this half of the game shocked him even more than the previous game.

If it is said that Durant was a little raw when he played Grant Hill alone in the last game.

There are still some discomforts.

But in this game, Durant played Grant Hill alone, which was really handy and fierce!

Grant Hill's performance this season is very good, but in this game, Durant beat him on both ends of the offense and defense, just like Billups and Hamilton who were beaten by yes in the last round and were about to die!

On the defensive end, Durant was perfectly restrained. On the offensive end, due to his height, speed, wingspan, etc., it was quite difficult to beat Durant.

When the Suns used that kind of all-or-nothing defense against Yes in the game, the whole world knew what the lifeline of the Suns and Seattle game was.

It's the result of Durant and Grant Hill's singles.

When the singles results between Durant and Hill are so disparate, the outcome of this game is naturally conceivable.

"It turns out that Durant was not the strongest in the last game. He was just getting started..."

"It turns out that Yes really used his sacrifice and hard work to elevate a player whose upper limit was only a quasi-All-Star to the All-Star level..."

116 to 128!

When the second game between the Phoenix Suns and SuperSonics ended with another Suns defeat...

The whole world is in an uproar!
