Chapter 740 I Don’t Eat People
The game between the Supersonics and the Clippers at KeyArena on November 17, 2008, was a feast for the eyes of all who followed the game from the very beginning.
Jordan beat Milicic on the jump ball, and the extremely fast three-line fast break of Jordan, Westbrook and Nick Young at the beginning even made many spectators of the game feel that the Seattle Supersonics would be directly blasted into pieces by the Los Angeles Clippers!
But when the Seattle Supersonics were blasted into pieces by the Clippers, the Clippers' Thunder Strike Three shattered all other Supersonics players, but in the end they were defeated by the only familiar Supersonics No. 9 standing in front of them!
"It's not an accident!"
"Yes defended DeAndre Jordan alone, and it's not an accident that he cut the ball off from the front!"
"This is the fifth time that Yes cut the basketball off from DeAndre Jordan in this game!"
"DeAndre Jordan, who has been flying over the basket this season, has not taken off in this game!"
Looking at DeAndre Jordan standing there in an incredible daze under the basket, Westbrook, who had just passed the ball to DeAndre Jordan after the pick-and-roll, now also had a dull look on his face.
He really had a dull look on his face now. Before the game with the Supersonics, the pick-and-roll he and DeAndre Jordan had was one of the most ace tactics of the Clippers!
DeAndre Jordan's screen quality was quite good.
In addition, he had an excellent ability to pass down. As long as he was blocked and passed down to the basket, and after he got rid of the defensive player a little, he jumped up and passed the ball. Those heavy centers in the league were no match for DeAndre Jordan!
How did the city in the sky come from?
That's how it came from!
But in this game, Westbrook really doubted his life.
There was nothing wrong with the balls he passed to Jordan. His current passing ability was not enough to pass the ball directly to Jordan without dribbling when there was a defensive player of Milicic's level in the Sonics.
But Jordan's athleticism and mobility can get rid of Milicic!
Not to say that he can get rid of him every time, but he can get rid of him many times!
In this game, Jordan got rid of Milicic four times. Every time he could just pull up and dunk, he was directly cut off by Yes who suddenly appeared and helped defend the ball!
"Your movements are too redundant."
"Your passes are too annoying."
"And you, you still can't calm down."
Looking at the two teammates, Jordan and Westbrook, who were doubting their lives under the basket and near the free throw line.
Nick Young, who was standing outside the three-point line, now had his eyes wide open.
Especially thinking back to what teacher Yes said in front of the three of them in this game, Nick Young really felt like he couldn't play in this game.
Nick Young felt that it was definitely not just him who had this feeling.
He believed that he and his two teammates, who were in great glory this season, had this feeling!
Facing the teacher, the three who have killed all the enemies this season, I really feel like I don’t know how to play.
Let’s take Jordan who is standing under the basket now.
He can average more than 10 points per game this season, but this game is almost over, and he hasn’t even scored a single point!
The pick-and-roll between Jordan and Russell was completely blocked by teacher Yes!
If Jordan received the pass from Russell and could not get rid of Milicic, he would need to play Milicic in the field. Jordan’s athletic ability is excellent, but playing Milicic in the field?
Don’t be kidding!
Jordan couldn’t even play Love in the field!
He couldn’t play Milicic in the field.
He finally got rid of Milicic, and he still had to face the omnipresent master Yes!
No matter how Jordan played in this game, it was uncomfortable, even more uncomfortable than the game he played against Love in the NCAA!
He couldn’t score, so he tried hard to grab the second rebound, but every time he fought for it, it was predicted by master Yes!
Milicic couldn't grab rebounds as hard as DeAndre Jordan.
But with Yes's help in positioning, DeAndre Jordan didn't grab a single frontcourt rebound from Milicic in this game!
And Russell, Russell's aggressive play in this game made Rondo very uncomfortable.
But after hitting Rondo, Russell really didn't know how to continue.
Master Yes's assist defense in this game was excellent.
Russell's pass, which was not very good, should be said to be quite rough, was pinched to death by Master Yes!
All the passes to DeAndre Jordan were predicted.
So DeAndre Jordan was cut a lot of the ball in this game.
In addition to the very bad passes to DeAndre Jordan, Russell's passes to other Clippers players in this game were not so smooth.
After Russell broke up Rondo, Rondo didn't chase Russell at all. Instead, he forced Russell to the mid-range and let Russell go, and then rushed to Mobley and Novak on the outside.
Russell was facing Yes who was helping defend near the free throw line. His shooting and passing were really bad. No matter what he did, it was bad.
Yes interfered with his shooting.
Rondo interfered with his passing from the outside and Yes interfered from the inside.
Russell had a harder time in this game than DeAndre Jordan.
Even in this game, Russell had many times where he didn't know what to do on the court, and he was dribbling for 24 seconds. If it was only 24 seconds, it would be fine. Russell had a short circuit in his brain and didn't know what to do. Then Master Yes stole the basketball from his hand!
If Ibaka was a player who knew nothing before the game started.
Standing on the court, he would only dig holes for his teammates in the Supersonics.
Then DeAndre Jordan and Russell in this game really only dug holes for him!
DeAndre Jordan didn't shoot, and his three-pronged dunk was blocked. His performance in this game was not as good as Ibaka's before!
And what about Russell?
This game was even worse than DeAndre Jordan. Although DeAndre Jordan scored 0 points, at least he didn't stick to the ball. However, the worse Russell performed in this game, the more he stuck to the ball. The more he wanted to prove himself, the worse he performed.
And what about him?
Although his performance in this game was much better than Russell and DeAndre Jordan.
It can be said that he taught Ibaka a lesson in this game.
Ibaka was beaten to a pulp by him.
But just like Master Yes said, he still couldn't calm down during the game.
He could have a more efficient offensive method, but the game always got high. After playing high, he could easily point to Ibaka and directly break through Ibaka's mid-range shot without defense.
But he often chose to directly push Ibaka to pull up!
Because his pull-up jump is high and his shot is not slow, no one in the league can defend him.
But no matter how bad Ibaka is, he is still a 2.06-meter-tall player with a long wingspan!
Before the game between the Supersonics and the Clippers, many people were more optimistic about the Clippers.
But when the game ended, looking at the score of 108 to 88 on the court, many Ye He reporters at the scene and many Ye He viewers in front of the TV really felt like they were watching a fake game!
Even Kobe, who called Yes yesterday to show off that he subdued these three Thunder-like teenagers, now has an incredible illusion on his face.
He really didn't expect the Clippers' three youngsters to lose so easily in this game!
In the game between the Lakers and the Clippers, it was really, really not easy for him and the Lakers to subdue these three people.
The impact of these three people is too strong!
Although the Lakers were not beaten to pieces by these three people, they were indeed a little shaky.
But what about this game?
Yes directly pressed these three people and couldn't even rush!
These three wild horses that have been running this season couldn't run in front of Yes!
"You still have a long way to go."
The words Yes said to the Clippers' three youngsters before the game started rang in his mind. Kobe now really felt that Yes was still not bragging!
If this game is not considered a lesson for these three little guys, then the others are really not lessons!
Look at the data on TV now.
In this game, Yes's data is 33 minutes on the court, 32 points, 8 rebounds, 12 assists, and 9 steals!
One rebound and one steal away, Yes can get the first quadruple-double in his career in this game!
And what about the Clippers' three youngsters on the other side?
DeAndre Jordan had the worst performance in this game, 0-for-3 shooting, 0 points, 8 rebounds, 7 turnovers.
What about Russell Westbrook? 3-for-15 shooting, 8 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists, and 8 turnovers!
In this game, the performance of these two popular rookies is really not as good as Ibaka, who made 7-for-22 shots, 18 points, and 5 rebounds in this game.
Ibaka was unable to defend Nick Young in this game.
Nick Young is one of the few players in the league who cannot be defended. It is normal that Ibaka failed to defend Nick Young, but Nick Young did not kill Ibaka in this game!
Nick Young drew too many times in front of Ibaka!
Nick Young's offense in this game was too inefficient.
Kobe could clearly feel that Nick Young's style of play was not only due to his eccentric personality, but more importantly, it was probably...
"In his heart, he subconsciously avoided the help defense of Yes in the three-point line!"
Nick Young performed very well in his rookie season last season, and he also performed very well in his second season this season.
The Clippers' three young players, the reputation of the city in the sky, has gained him a lot of popularity.
It can be said that Nick Young is a player who is qualified to compete for an All-Star position in the West this season.
Moreover, Nick Young is not only famous for his All-Star ability, but also has the strength.
Even in Kobe's view, if Nick Young corrects some of his problems on the offensive end, he will be a superstar player on the offensive end!
Such a player would subconsciously avoid Yes without even noticing it.
"Why is this kid so brave when facing me?"
"Yes looks fiercer than me, do I look more easygoing than Yes?"
Kobe now really feels that the world has changed.
The ferocious Mamba on the court is not as scary as a piece of ice!
The Los Angeles Clippers still lost, and it was a big defeat.
Such a result made the reporters and audiences who were looking forward to this game very uncomfortable.
In this game, they want to see the Clippers knock the SuperSonics out of the top eight in the Western Conference, thereby creating a crisis for the SuperSonics that must change and take down Ibaka.
As long as Yes takes down Ibaka, then Yes will prove to himself that his vision for drafting is terrible. Not only will it prove that his vision for drafting is terrible, but it will also slap himself in the face and change the fairy tale that he can sink the ship with his teammates. The stubbornness!
What can sink a ship with teammates? Look, isn't Yes now abandoning Ibaka for the top eight in the Western Conference?
What a fairy tale, this is just a fake fairy tale, a fairy tale that deceives the whole world!
Many of them had prepared news headlines and posts after the game, but the Clippers' defeat in this game really made them feel uncomfortable.
This game they were looking forward to proved nothing in the end.
It's not even proven that Jordan and Westbrook are better than Ibaka!
Judging from the performance and data of this game, Jordan and Westbrook have no qualifications to say that their performance is better than Ibaka.
It is very uncomfortable to have emotions that cannot be vented and can only be held in.
And the thing that is more uncomfortable than holding it in is continuing to hold it in!
Compared with these very uncomfortable people, the Clippers, who lost the game, were not that depressed.
In the opinion of Clippers head coach Dunleavy, although the Clippers' three young players were trained by Yes military in this game, they lost now, but they have a future!
Perhaps the most uncomfortable thing was Jordan who left the court unhappy directly after the game.
Dunleavy can understand Jordan, after all, he has been looking forward to this game for a long, long time.
In the end, we got this result.
It can only be said that Jordan underestimated the strength of Yes!
For Jordan, this game was a shame. He scored 0 points in the first game of his career.
But for him, the Clippers head coach, he would rather see Jordan play such a humiliating game.
This shame is what motivates him to move on.
Not only Jordan, but when the whole world is praising the Clippers' three young men in the air, it is very, very important to have such a game to wake them up from the bragging.
So, this game won’t make him feel sad, only thankful!
"What an incredible guy!"
Not everyone can get this kind of gratitude. The previous Kobe, the previous Duncan, and the previous Nowitzki did not leave the shame or take away the gratitude from him.
"Master, this game is so awesome!"
After the game, Nick Young returned to his playful self.
"But isn't it a pity not to get a quadruple-double?"
"No regrets."
Hearing Ye Si's answer, Nick Yang, who was blinking, was a little surprised.
"If you are stronger, you will always have a chance."
"..."
Hearing what Ye Si said, Nick Yang's face turned a little dark as he was expecting something.
"Master, are you going too far? When Russell grows up, he will never be the mistake-crazy maniac he was in this game!"
"Master wants to get four pairs on us, but there is no chance!"
Ye Si ignored Nick Yang who was pretending to be excited and just looked at him quietly.
"master?"
"Am I terrible?"
"..."
"I don't eat people."
After Ye Si patted the dull Nick Young's shoulder gently, he turned and left.
