Chapter 856: This Game Is Settled!

"3-0?"

"Well, it's really 3-0!"

On April 23, 2009, the San Antonio Spurs defeated the SuperSonics in an away game and tied the series with a 3-0 score. The whole world seemed to be boiling!

"The Yes who can create miracles against any powerful opponent!"

"The Yes that can bring light to the team in any desperate moment!"

"Now that miracles are powerless, we have fallen into darkness?!"

The three NBA playoff games on April 23 were all very exciting.

Not only the games between the SuperSonics and the Spurs, but also the games between the Pistons and the Heat, and the Celtics and the Bulls, were all quite exciting.

But by April 24, the whole world seemed to be filled with news about the Sonics and Leafs.

Overwhelming shock, overwhelming attention, and overwhelming surprise!

"This kid Yes was really tricked by his teammates this time. That old guy Phil said that if he was in the Lakers, the Lakers could beat the Spurs 3-0."

In the Lakers training facility, Kobe sighed.

In this round of the series, the performance of the boy Yes was really outstanding. In the regular season of this season, Bowen, who made him very uncomfortable, was defeated by Yes three times in the past three games, and he was defeated by Yes in different ways. Three explosions in a row.

Yes scored 40+ points in all three games, and his shooting percentage was above 45%.

But this kind of performance cannot make up for the gap in overall strength between the SuperSonics and the Spurs.

Although he didn't really like Phil Jackson's blunt statement, he recognized Phil's stance on this matter.

"3-0, sweep. I never thought this kid would have such a day. He must be feeling very, very uncomfortable now, right?"

hehe.

"Yes was beaten 3-0 again..."

In Minnesota, when the whole world was shocked because the Sonics were beaten 3-0 by the Spurs,

The Nuggets players who are currently visiting Minnesota really feel a sense of déjà vu.

“This time is still very different from the one we had last year.”

"Last year, Yes had an awakened Durant around him."

"And the Spurs have Bowen, the best defensive player in the history of the league."

"Although Yes defeated Bowen in three consecutive games, Bowen did not allow Yes to play the most magical game. As a player who has never scored less than 30 points in the playoffs, he scored in the early 40s in three consecutive games. Although the score is very strong, it is not that strong. At least, it is not strong enough to defeat the Spurs with the Sonics without Durant."

"It seems like we won't be able to avenge the Sonics in the playoffs this year."

Listening to these words from his teammates, Anthony looked worried.

The topic of the entire NBA today is Yes' SuperSonics being beaten 3-0 by the Spurs.

Of course he knew that what his teammates said was very, very correct.

Yes and the SuperSonics may end up with the Spurs this year.

In fact, before the start of this series between the SuperSonics and the Spurs, his prediction was the same as that of most people in the world, which was 4-0!

However, when the 4-0 came, it was still a bit difficult for him to accept.

This year, his brother and himself have been really unlucky.

Chris didn't make it to the playoffs and was injured trying to get a quadruple-double.

LeBron and Dwyane are still fighting among themselves, and they don't know if they can pass Allen's test.

As for Yes, Yes is even worse!

This is all going to be swept away!

The defending champion was swept!

And they were swept out in the first round.

It would also be a huge shame for this to actually happen.

Although the SuperSonics this season are not that strong in terms of physical strength, which makes people feel a little weak, the SuperSonics are also truly the defending champions!

Otherwise, after Yes and the Sonics were beaten 3-0, why did it have such a big impact on the world?

Although the Sonics were swept and defeated, this was not the reason for Yes. Now the mainstream voice around the world is that Yes tried their best, but they really couldn't move them.

Putting Jordan in the current SuperSonics would be a knee-jerk.

And it will definitely be worse than Yes.

This is Pippen's statement, but it has been recognized by the world.

This is not an excuse for Yes.

As a die-hard fan of Coconut Pippen, saying this is definitely an excuse for Yes, but the statement itself is very reasonable.

only……

No matter how reasonable it is, no matter how understandable it is.

Pippen's last words are right.

"Durant is injured and cannot return, Ibaka is too nervous in the playoffs, and the Sonics' overall strength is insufficient. These are objective facts, but the Sonics are the defending champions. This is also a fact. The defending champions were eliminated in the first round. If we are swept out of the game, as the head of the team, even if he has no responsibility, he will be the one who takes the biggest responsibility."

I hope Yes can recover from such a blow.

As Anthony was thinking this, his face suddenly became very unhappy.

"Damn Agua, take care of yourself first!"

"The Timberwolves are already leading 2-1. If you lose today's game, you will be eliminated in the first round!"

This is the New York Times!

This is USA Today!

This is the Washington Post!

This is the Chicago Tribune!

Ha ha ha ha!

All newspapers with some influence in the United States are paying attention to this matter at this time!

This time, Yes is finally going to be defeated!

In a large villa in Chicago, a fat middle-aged black man was dancing with a pile of newspapers.

There is no doubt that this day is the most satisfying day in his life after retiring!

After holding in my anger for three years, I can finally let it out properly.

"We are already thinking about our next opponent."

Looking at this joke made by Popovich during the interview in the newspaper, Jordan is my favorite.

How much of your true feelings are expressed in the name of a joke?

He can understand the frustration Popovich has faced over the years in Yes!

"This old boy finally feels proud and proud for once!"

The fat middle-aged man is very happy.

"The defending champion was swept out in the first round!"

"What strength has been surpassed, and the historical status is being surpassed. I have never been a defending champion swept out in the first round!"

The SuperSonics lost their first home game and lost all three previous games.

This made the whole world go crazy on this day.

Some people are happy, some are worried, some are excited, and some are sad.

As the person involved, Ye Si was very calm, because Ye Si was very calm, and the SuperSonics players did not panic.

"This time in the playoffs, Yes has not put any pressure on us. He has been facing the results of the Spurs game very calmly. We can't put any pressure on Yes at this time."

"You know even if you don't remind us, we go all out in every game, and whether we win or lose depends on who we are. We can never take it for granted that Yes must lead us to victory. Yes has no responsibility or obligation to save us all the time, and our whole body is full of injuries from fighting hard. Let us move forward!"

"Yes, what we need to do is, when Yes needs us, even if we don't have the strength to stand up, we must fall in front of Yes first!"

After the third game between the SuperSonics and the Spurs, the 'trash guys' from the SuperSonics trash meeting held an impromptu all-congress meeting.

Except for Durant and Harden, who are not members of the trash club, and Yes, who doesn't know the trash club exists, all other Sonics players participated.

As newcomers to the SuperSonics this season, Marc Gasol, Ingles, and Ibaka were shocked to see their teammates' speeches that spoke directly to their souls at the meeting.

Garbage meetings usually take place, but they are not so intense.

Listening to these people's words, the one who touched me the most was Ibaka.

Although he never felt that he deserved to be saved by Yes, his performance on the court was indeed the player who deserved to be saved by Yes.

In these three games, it can be said that he was completely defeated by Stephen Jackson.

In the regular season, he was already very good at facing players like Stephen Jackson who did not have strong singles ability, but in the playoffs, everything seemed to be completely different.

He, who should have been somewhat mature, became childish again.

Although his teammates are not really blaming him, he feels that every word they say reaches his soul.

He also knows that if the person standing in his position at this time is Durant, maybe it will be completely different, right?

In these three games, the losses were not huge. As long as his position was slightly stronger, it was absolutely possible to win not only three games, but one or two.

On the other side of the Yees Villa, all the starting players from the University of Washington who are now preparing to participate in this year's draft appeared at his home.

In fact, after the third game against the Spurs, many people cared about him through various channels.

Yao Ming, Roy, Kobe, O'Neal, Yi Jianlian, Sun Yue, Nick Young, Oden, Afflalo...etc., many, many people.

"Master, it's already 3-0, why are you still looking so calm?!"

"Stephen, it's 3-0, not 4-0. I feel like you are more anxious than Yes."

"Clay, it's 3-0. Is there a big difference between 3-0 and 4-0? Don't you feel panicked?!"

"Panic hair..."

Seeing that Curry was now like a grasshopper on a hot pot, Klay Thompson muttered quietly.

Of course, he could only mutter in a low voice. If he said it directly, he would probably be punched and kicked by the angry teammates next to him.

Stephen, Zhui Meng, Spencer, and Quincy were all more anxious than Yes.

Instead of coming here for comfort Yes.

Seriously, it would be better to go to a nightclub to comfort the girls who are worried about Yes.

Damn it, that bastard James Harden got there first!

However, the way Yes looks at me seems to be a look of admiration?

Is it my imagination?

Of course it’s not Klay Thompson’s delusion.

Yes really appreciates Klay Thompson.

Especially his psychological quality.

In those more than 2,000 finals games, James played his most hated teammate.

Clay definitely plays his most hated opponent!

He didn't know how many times he thought he was about to complete the mission and escape from the infinite hell, but Clay suddenly appeared from the sky.

It can be seen from now that it is definitely not an accident that Clay had such mental quality in 2016.

Although Curry and the young people at the University of Washington were very noisy, and after Tony Roten, Bradley and Leonard came with the Antetokounmpo brothers and other younger and more explosive people, Ye Si's villa seemed to have exploded.

Seeing these little guys here helping to study how to deal with the enemy, Ye Si acted as if he hadn't seen them and sat on the sofa thinking about what he had learned from these three games.

In these three games, Yes did not deliberately lose.

Of course, I didn’t go all out to win.

After all, Durant's recovery will take time. The longer this series between the Sonics and the Spurs drags on, the better it will be for the Sonics and the next series, whether it's the Mavericks or the Grizzlies.

These two teams are completely different from the Spurs.

These two teams are the nemesis teams of the Sonics. Even if Yes feels that he is much better than before, there is no guarantee that he can beat these two teams without Durant.

There is even a high probability that they will be defeated by these two teams.

When the team fell behind 3-0, Durant once again made a comeback.

Old Nelson was very moved.

But it was rejected again by Ye Si.

Without Durant, he can still lead the team to defeat the Spurs.

But without Durant, it would be difficult for him and his Sonics to defeat the Grizzlies and Mavericks.

So in the next round of the series, no matter what Durant's status is, even if Durant doesn't want to come back, he must come back.

It's not that he looks down on the Spurs.

But as long as he is willing, it is indeed impossible for the Spurs to defeat him.

The Spurs have Bowen, and he can infinitely adjust the shooting percentage against Bowen. In these three games, the shooting percentage is a little more than 45%. If he wants, he can adjust the shooting percentage to 55% or 60%. Five or even seventy-five percent.

With Bowen, he wants the Spurs to lose by as many points as he wants.

It doesn't matter that the Spurs don't have Bowen as an undercover agent. There is no player on the Spurs team who can hit him one-on-one. If the Spurs let anyone defend him one-on-one, they will need Duncan's help. As long as Duncan helps defend. He, he could make Duncan lose control of his teammates.

His data may not be that good by then, but his efficiency will still be high, but his teammates will be completely different!

Although without Bowen, he can't lose as many points as the Spurs want, but he can guarantee that he will beat the Spurs in every game, and that's no problem.

What's more, without Bowen, Parker and Ginobili really have no meaning for their existence.

This is the reality of this series between the SuperSonics and the Spurs.

Not just the reality he knew.

A reality Bowen also knows.

So after Bowen lost the first game with the Sonics and had a premonition of what he wanted to do, he told him in every game that he was going to die.

But every time, Bowen did not choose to die.

Because Bowen knew very well that he would not die.

It should be said that if he dies, the Spurs will really be hopeless.

If he doesn't die, he still has a chance to fight back.

Although this old guy seemed to be very obedient, he had never believed that a person with such a black heart suddenly turned into a little sheep who would not resist.

Just like when he faced Bowen in the first season of his career, Bowen was still the "defensive warrior" with evil hands and evil heart. He suffered so many losses at his hands, but he still played for a while in the end. Give him a fatal blow?

In the playoffs, he hit him with a flying kick at the end, which eventually broke his own leg.

This person is quite tolerant.

This guy who looks like an honest little sheep on the surface may have secretly prepared many, many, seemingly useful moves waiting for him.

However, because of the disadvantages he had suffered before, he became more tolerant and would not expose himself until the moment of despair.

Obviously, this time the Spurs lost 3-0, something that Bowen could no longer endure no matter what.

Even if he is not ready, he will definitely fight back.

I just don’t know where he will choose to strike back.

Of course, no matter which one it is, no matter how he fights back, it will be useless.

"Master, did you listen to the countermeasures we discussed against the Spurs?"

"No."

"..."

Curry almost cried when he saw his master being so straightforward.

Why don't you be so direct?

"Master, even if you have given up, winning is still much better than sweeping..."

"Master, are you really not worried that being swept this time will affect your historical status?"

"do not worry."

"..."

"Stephen, the historical status of Yes will only affect you fans of Yes' historical status, but will not affect Yes."

"Clay, shut up!"

Before Curry could speak, smaller and more violent guys like Avery Bradley and Tony Wroten spoke.

"..."

Clay was also very desperate. He was in a wolf's den.

Wouldn’t it be nice to be with those gentle ladies?

I have to come here to join in the fun.

On April 25, 2009, for the game between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Spurs, Key Arena was still packed with people.

After all, Seattle is not Miami, and fans of the Seattle SuperSonics are not comparable to fans of the Miami Heat.

This series between the SuperSonics and the Spurs is already 0-3, and it is a foregone conclusion that the team will be eliminated.

But for Seattle fans, the players have worked hard enough, and he is willing to send his players away from this stage that no longer belongs to them.

So half an hour before the start of the game between the Spurs and SuperSonics, many reporters and commentators from various countries saw a magical scene.

"Half an hour before the SuperSonics-Spurs game started, Seattle SuperSonics fans were already singing, cheering, and applauding!"

Buckley was excited.

Kenny Smith next to him was very disdainful. This was the weak man's own move towards him!

Strong people don't need to do these bloody things. Just like the Heat defeated the Pistons in the third game, everything can be different!

This kind of self-impression of the weak has no other benefit except making himself look more pitiful.

Tonight's fourth game between the SuperSonics and the Spurs, there are more fans in the stadium than in the previous game, more spectators, and more reporters and commentators from all over the world.

SuperSonics fans want to leave with the team, and reporters and commentators who like the excitement really want to witness this historical moment of Yes.

"This may be our only chance to see Yes get swept in the playoffs!"

"This may also be the only time we see Yes, as the defending champion, eliminated in the first round!"

"I really didn't expect that many people predicted that three series would be swept in the first round. In the end, only the SuperSonics and Spurs were going to sweep this series. The 76ers had already defeated the Cavaliers once, and the Bulls had already defeated Kyle. Two special appearances!"

This game between the Seattle SuperSonics and Spurs has a lot of people excited.

The opportunity to witness history is indeed very rare.

Even Popovich in front of the Spurs bench was very excited when the game was about to start.

He has been in a state of excitement these past two days since the Spurs beat the Sonics in their first game on the court.

I have been excited since two days ago.

"I don't need you to stay in this game!"

"In this game, our fans don't need you to stay tuned until San Antonio eliminates Yes and the SuperSonics!"

"In this game, our fans and I want a victory!"

"What we want is a sweep, a sweep against Yes, the defending champion, and the strongest player in the NBA!"

Duncan had never seen Popovich in such an emotional moment.

Not only Duncan, but other Spurs players have never seen Popovich so excited.

Seeing Popovich like this, even Duncan wanted to roar like other Spurs fans.

Of course, there was definitely no shouting in the end.

Manu's face turned red as he roared, and the touch on the back of his head felt a little warm.

You roar, I use my hands to transfer heat to cheer you up.

Already leading the Sonics 3-0, Popovich really felt there was no reason to wait one more game.

Of course, his cautious character still made him prepare for a difficult game in this game.

Nelson is no ordinary coach.

Nelson handed over changes to the team in the previous three games to Yes.

It is up to Yes to lead the changes in the team.

But the final result was a failure.

Yes worked hard in these three games, but couldn't lead the team to defeat the Spurs.

In this case, based on his understanding of Nelson, he must take action to change the team's style of play.

Nelson actually did take action. He supported Durant's comeback.

But in the end, after Yes rejected Durant's comeback, Nelson knew that Yes had not given up yet.

so……

Unlike the tragic cheers and applause of other supporters of the Sonics at this time, Nelson sat in his seat with his hands crossed.

Milicic, Millsap, Ibaka, Yes, Rondo!

Looking at the starting lineup arranged by the Sonics for this game on the court.

Then he looked at Old Nelson, who was sitting on the sidelines with an expressionless face, as if he looked desperate.

Popovich, who was originally excited, almost yelled out what was in his heart.

"no change!"

"Old Nelson is also desperate!"

"This game is stable!"
