Chapter 747: Supersonic Speed on the Verge of Collapse!
"Yes, isn't it just 70 points in three quarters?"
"The Seattle SuperSonics are only 2 points ahead of the Cavaliers!"
"In the first three quarters, the great Shaq played for only 20 minutes. In the fourth quarter, this Shark will have at least 10 minutes of playing time. Yes, tremble!"
"Don't even mention 70 points. Even if you really get 99 points, I won't stop you from getting 100 points. I just want victory!"
At the end of the third quarter, O'Neal shouted very fiercely.
So fierce that Yes wondered if this fat guy was really that brave.
This fat guy was always conveying his very brave side to the world during the game.
This fat guy was always showing the world that he was the only person in the world who was not intimidated by Yes's 100-point threat.
Yes was skeptical about the things that this fat guy wanted to show in this game.
He was not sure if this fat guy was as brave and fearless as he said. For the sake of victory, it didn't matter if he got 100 points.
Finally, a team that could help him complete the 100-point mission appeared, and Yes did not dare to provoke O'Neal too much.
So from the first quarter to the end of this game, the score difference between the Seattle Supersonics and the Cavaliers was kept very close by him. Although the Supersonics led most of the time, the Cavaliers could catch up and overtake. Yes gave the Cavaliers a feeling of "I can win" in the score throughout the game.
And what about his own score?
Although Yes did not deliberately lower the efficiency of scoring, the number of points was indeed not too explosive to stimulate O'Neal.
The reason why Yes did this in this game was completely because he did not believe that this fat guy was as brave as he thought.
In fact, when the fourth quarter of the game between the Supersonics and the Cavaliers ended, the Supersonics defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 130-124 away, and Yes's final score in this game was fixed at 88 points again, Yes felt that his premonition was correct.
This fat guy is not as brave as he said. For the victory of this game, he doesn't care even if he is humiliated by the opponent by 100 points.
There were 7 minutes left in the fourth quarter of the game between the Supersonics and the Cavaliers. When Yes scored 80 points in the game, the Cavaliers changed their defense against him.
The Cavaliers' tactics changed from striving for victory to absolutely not letting Yes get 100 points!
In the last seven minutes of the game, Deron Williams and Richard Jefferson, the two best players in the Cavaliers' perimeter defense, really followed Yes closely!
The Cavaliers' defense against other Supersonics players has reached the point where they don't care at all.
Such a defense obviously doesn't want him to continue scoring.
In the end, he really didn't get many points, and in this game, the Supersonics also won a game from the Cavaliers, who are now third in the Eastern Conference.
"How is it, Yes, was this game very uncomfortable!"
"..."
After the game, looking at this fat guy who appeared in front of him with a smile on his face, Yes really wanted to jump up and slap this guy's familiar fat face.
"Hehe, although I still want to beat you in this game, but later I don't know why, my sixth sense told me that if I am too greedy, I may get nothing, so I can't be too greedy."
"..."
"Yes, this is a very exciting game.
Although I still can't beat you in this game, this is our era, and we will have plenty of opportunities in the future!"
Amid the cheers of the Cavaliers fans, O'Neal gave Yes a cool hug and turned away.
Looking at the back of this fat guy, Yes's right leg has been in a state of not wanting to obey.
Looking at the back of this fat guy waving in response to the Cavaliers fans on the scene, Yes let out a long breath.
This fat guy is really too cowardly!
And...
This fat guy can really be said to have lost the game of the Cavaliers, but he did not lose.
He played 31 minutes in the game, scored 42 points, 11 rebounds and 13 assists, the oldest 40+ triple-double in NBA history!
For a 36-year-old player, when he played such data in a game, not only the data, but also completely suppressed the opponent's players on the court and the scene, who would ask him to do more?
When Cleveland was still in the LeBron James era, the fans of the Cavaliers were very familiar with the Cavaliers losing but James did not lose.
Now the Cavaliers fans have completely passed on this set to O'Neal.
When the Seattle Supersonics played against other teams in the league, other teams prevented Yes from scoring 100 points. After the game, the reporters and media after the game would definitely attack him.
But for O'Neal and the Cavaliers, the media reporters on the scene were extremely generous.
"Yes's touch and state in this game were against the sky, but it was very incredible to get 88 points against O'Neal."
"In this game, no one would have thought that Yes could get such a high score!"
The Cavaliers are now a strong team in the league, a real strong team, and their ranking on ESPN's percentage probability list is very low.
Moreover, after losing James, the Cavaliers received great sympathy from the media in the United States and even the world.
After the formation of the Big Five of the Heat, the people that fans around the world sympathized with the most were Yes and the Supersonics, because the dynasty and era that they saw was stolen by the Heat.
In addition to Yes and the Supersonics, O'Neal and the Cavaliers were the second most sympathetic. They were pitted by James in the Cavaliers and in the American team. In the end, they had to lead a rebuilt Cavaliers team to rise. It can be said that O'Neal can beat Kobe this season. Yes and James and others are ranked first in the MVP list. In addition to his excellent team performance, O'Neal's rise with the Cavaliers this season is very story-telling.
It is indeed quite dramatic that the team without James is stronger than the Cavaliers with James.
It is precisely because of this reason that this fat guy is really not afraid of being hacked this season. What is not to say is simply not a big deal. O'Neal is in a state of being invulnerable this season!
So, Yes really has no way to deal with this rogue guy.
At the same time, O'Neal, who was so rogue in this game, also reminded Yes.
It was not very realistic for him to expect to complete the 100-point task on the Spurs.
O'Neal and Bowen, the two sheep he raised for wool, could not support him in the 100-point task.
At the same time, the Cavaliers and O'Neal in this game also reminded Yes.
Everyone is not a tool. Everyone will grow in different environments and different time and space backgrounds.
Bowen's growth had already shocked him before.
O'Neal's growth this season also shocked him.
To be honest, O'Neal in this game surprised Yes very much.
Neither O'Neal's Cavaliers nor Bowen's Spurs could help him in the 100-point task. O'Neal, who had never won a game in his career, could not let him get 100 points for a game victory.
So who should be the target of his 100-point task?
Is this completion task stuck like this?
Does this task need to be completed in the playoffs?
Yes is not sure now.
The game between the Cavaliers and the Supersonics is over, and Kobe is very dissatisfied with the result of this game.
He originally expected Yes to get 100 points against O'Neal.
Then he would get 100 points against Yes, that would be perfect!
Damn, the fat guy was really scared in the end!
Sure enough, we shouldn't expect too much courage from this fat guy, this guy is the kind of person who likes to cry!
Kobe was not very satisfied with the game between the Cavaliers and the Supersonics, and James was also not very satisfied with the result of this game.
He expected the Cavaliers to beat the Supersonics for a whole game, but in the end, the Supersonics still won!
The Cavaliers were the fifth-ranked team in the league before this game!
The Cavaliers are one of the strongest teams in the league this season!
The Supersonics lost to the Suns yesterday, and they should lose to the Cavaliers in this away game. The Supersonics, who lost two games in a row, will fall out of the top eight in the West. Next, under the huge pressure of falling out of the top eight, Yes and the Supersonics will also lose to the Grizzlies who will return to their home court two days later. The Seattle Supersonics, who have lost three games in a row, will gradually drift away from this year's playoffs!
Finally, in this painful season, Yes, like him last season, completed the painful achievement of not being able to enter the playoffs. Under such a painful achievement, Yes gave up the fairy tale, gave up the shining halo on him, and began to face reality like him.
And what about him?
He took advantage of Yes's decline this season and won the championship this season. In the following, he kept suppressing Yes who had lost his halo, and finally established his own capital in Miami!
What a beautiful picture!
To have such a beautiful picture, Yes needs to cooperate with him in this season!
But, damn, Yes and his Supersonics are trembling and about to fall, but they just can't fall!
After the Seattle Supersonics defeated the Cavaliers in this game, the Supersonics, now with a record of 10 wins and 6 losses, once again ranked seventh in the West.
For this game between the Supersonics and the Cavaliers, many teams expect Yes and the Supersonics to lose. Now the teams competing with the Supersonics for the top eight positions in the West are all expecting the Seattle Supersonics to lose, but in the end the Seattle Supersonics still won.
It is quite interesting to say that the competition in the West is very fierce this season. In addition to the Mavericks and Spurs, the Lakers, Grizzlies, Nuggets, Rockets, Suns, Timberwolves, Trail Blazers and other strong teams have been ranked outside the top eight.
In addition to the Mavericks and Spurs, only the Seattle Supersonics have never appeared outside the top eight in the rankings.
In terms of the hard power of the Seattle Supersonics this season, with Ibaka always playing four against five on both ends of the offense and defense, the Seattle Supersonics' hard power is considered to be definitely outside the top eight in the West.
It is such a hard power that has never fallen out of the top eight in the West, whether it is luck or other reasons.
This is indeed a wonder in the West this season.
Even though the Seattle SuperSonics had a very bad schedule recently, with two strong teams, the Suns and the Cavaliers, the SuperSonics not only did not fall out of the top eight, but also because the Suns and Timberwolves and the Rockets and the Trail Blazers played civil wars on the same day, and the Timberwolves and the Trail Blazers lost at the same time, the Seattle SuperSonics also widened the gap with the Timberwolves and the Trail Blazers.
On November 28, 2008, after the Seattle SuperSonics ended their consecutive away trips in the East, they returned to the West and will face the Grizzlies, who are the second strongest team in the West this season, in Memphis.
The Grizzlies were considered the most promising team in the league to become the cosmic team during the offseason this season, but in the matter of signing Arenas, the Grizzlies were pitted by Arenas who lost contact.
Although Arenas did not join the Grizzlies, the Grizzlies' general manager Jerry West chose to leave after building an almost perfect Grizzlies, which resulted in the Grizzlies not being strengthened during this year's offseason. However, even if they were not strengthened, Oden, who has become stronger this season, still made the Grizzlies stronger this season than last season.
In the top seven teams in the Western Conference last season, the hard power of the other five teams has weakened, only the hard power of the Lakers and the Grizzlies has increased.
The Grizzlies are very strong, and the Seattle SuperSonics also had a very difficult game against the Grizzlies.
This is the third game played by the SuperSonics in four days, with the three strong teams of the Suns, Cavaliers, and Grizzlies.
And they need to put a lot of energy on the road.
In this game against the Grizzlies, the state of other players of the Seattle SuperSonics was even worse than when they played against the Cavaliers.
Facing the Grizzlies who were waiting for the opportunity, the Seattle SuperSonics finally lost 103 to 115 away.
After the Seattle SuperSonics lost to the powerful Grizzlies away, on November 29, the Seattle SuperSonics returned to their home court back-to-back to face the direct competitor of the eighth place in the Western Conference, the Timberwolves!
The Seattle SuperSonics' recent schedule is very bad, and the Timberwolves' schedule may be worse than that of the SuperSonics.
The Timberwolves' opponents in the last three games were the Suns, Celtics and Nuggets respectively.
This directly led to the Sonics losing two of the last three games, but the lead between the Sonics and the Timberwolves widened.
The already exhausted Sonics returned to their home court to play the Timberwolves. There was actually no difference between home and away games. It was the fourth game in five days.
The Seattle Sonics lost to the Timberwolves 100-105 at home.
After this game, the three Western Conference teams, the Sonics, the Timberwolves and the Trail Blazers, all had 10 wins and 8 losses. The Sonics ranked eighth in the Western Conference because of their better division record.
