Chapter 815 Ibaka's Heart Knot and the New Yes Successor!

This season, the Seattle SuperSonics have many nemesis teams in the league, including the Mavericks led by Nowitzki and Afflalo, the Grizzlies led by Oden and Gasol, the Rockets led by Yao Ming and Roy, the Timberwolves led by Gay, Yi Jianlian and Al Jefferson...

For the Seattle SuperSonics this season, according to many people, the SuperSonics with Ibaka are four against the opponent's five, plus Yes will be double-teamed by the opponent, the performance of the three inside players of the SuperSonics is particularly important, Milicic, Millsap, Marc Gasol, as long as there is a team that can suppress these three people and double-team Yes well, then the SuperSonics will definitely die.

The Mavericks, Grizzlies, Rockets, and Timberwolves are all such teams.

In fact, the Suns, which the SuperSonics just defeated, used to be such a team.

Marion and Raja Bell's double-teaming of Yes is the best in the league, and Stoudemire's offensive ability combined with Nash's lethality in the league is also top-notch.

The Supersonics have played against the Suns this season, and the Suns have defeated the Supersonics before.

However, this time, the result has changed dramatically.

Although Marion and Raja Bell's double-teaming of Yes is still excellent.

But Stoudemire can no longer suppress Milicic at the center position.

Milicic has made great progress after playing against Larry Brown's Bobcats this season. The main improvement is that he is more confident and no longer passively takes a beating on the court. With Stoudemire's offensive ability, even Duncan can't stand being passively beaten.

After Milicic broke Larry Brown's curse of disdain for his offense and defense, his confidence on both offense and defense has increased, which makes Stoudemire, the center of the Suns, unable to attack with all his strength as before and needs to be distracted by defense. In this case, with the help of Marc Gasol and Millsap, Milicic played a career masterpiece against Stoudemire in this big win over the Suns.

At least, in front of the Suns fans, he played like he was qualified to replace Stoudemire in the All-Star Game this season, not just because of Yes.

Of course, the biggest reason why the Seattle Supersonics beat the Suns in this game was not because Milicic, who had always been passive, had changed his style of play.

The biggest reason was that Ibaka, who had always been a black hole, was no longer a black hole in this game.

In this game, Marion could no longer use his experience to "overcome the superior" in terms of talent as he did before.

Marion's talent for passing the ball was lower than Ibaka's. In the last confrontation, Marion took advantage of his experience and pressed Ibaka, who was one level higher than him in passing the ball, to the ground.

In this game, Marion met Ibaka again, and he played very uncomfortably. His hands were not as long as Ibaka's, his feet were not as long as Ibaka's, his bones were not as hard as Ibaka's, and even his bounce was not as high as Ibaka's. If he could not use his experience, he really could not catch Nash's passing ball under Ibaka's interference.

He can't play the blame-passing system, and he doesn't have the singles ability of players like Joe Johnson. It's not the Suns' regular tactic to let him play one-on-one against Ibaka.

Moreover, Ibaka's ability has now been upgraded to C-level, and his talent is not something that can be bullied by any level of singles.

It can be said that if this game between the Supersonics and the Suns made the Suns coach D'Antoni and the Suns players see despair.

The kind of despair that may never catch up with Yes and the Supersonics from now on.

Then this game really saw hope and the future for the Supersonics players.

Before the All-Stars,

The Supersonics had already recognized Ibaka's progress.

It's just that Ibaka has been targeted, and the C-level ability has the same effect on the court as his previous E-level ability.

This time against the Suns, the Suns' front line does not have an absolutely strong singles point, and Marion is exactly the player that Ibaka can restrain.

So this game against the Suns can really be regarded as a game in which Ibaka shines his light for outsiders to see.

In this game, Ibaka's radiance finally made those who were still madly blacking him yesterday see it.

Since Durant was injured, Ibaka has been the team's starting small forward this season.

From the summer league to the preseason to the current regular season, 53 games have been played. It can be said that Ibaka, a former basketball amateur, has almost played 100 NBA-level games.

He has played almost 100 games and has been scolded for almost 100 games.

Rondo, Durant, James Harden, the three generations of crazy black players, have always been scolded more than applause.

But at least, these three people sometimes have applause mixed in with the scolding.

But Ibaka, that was really before the last game against the Suns, all scolding, no applause.

Ibaka's situation is not only a matter of concern for old Nelson, but even Yes is sometimes a little worried.

The final facts proved that Yes and old Nelson's worries were unnecessary.

Ibaka has a very strong heart.

For the past six months, his entire body has been drenched in pure black, but when he reveals his head, he can still maintain pure white.

This quality is truly rare and precious.

Of course, in the NBA, every player has the possibility of shining. Even those who can play in the NBA have been honored by everyone.

As the starting small forward of the Western Conference playoff team, it is really not enough to have only one highlight in his career.

In fact, Ibaka's current ability is indeed not enough.

Yes and Old Nelson know this, so Yes and Old Nelson never put too much pressure on Ibaka.

Ibaka himself is also very clear, so he is always the hardest-working player in the team except Yes.

Because of the miserable experience in the past, coupled with being a father at a young age and having a big family to support, Ibaka, an African black, is more simple and knows the importance of opportunities to himself than those American blacks in the NBA.

"Sergey, don't put too much pressure on yourself, you have made great progress now."

This season, Yes has a lot of players around him. In addition to James Harden, Yes is most optimistic about Ibaka.

A talented and hardworking person, although he has been wasting time in the past, his future is still worth looking forward to.

Maybe he will never be able to develop the same touch, skills and ball sense as Durant, but even without the same skills, touch and ball sense as Durant, Ibaka can still become a first-class player.

However, for people, the most fearful thing is comparison.

Although the game with Marion made Ibaka a little bit of a blockbuster, it also made Ibaka gain confidence.

But thinking of the opponent of the Supersonics tonight...

Golden State Warriors.

Now the last in the league.

But this team has a player who can beat Ibaka.

If Ibaka can restrain Marion with his talent when facing Marion, it is because Marion's singles skills cannot completely grasp Ibaka's weaknesses.

But Beasley is completely different from Marion.

Beasley's talent for passing the blame is actually not as good as Ibaka's.

But Beasley has the ability to beat James and Wade in a singles match in the rookie training camp.

Beasley's pure athletic talent is not at the top level, but this player's singles skills, basketball IQ when playing singles, and the chic and elegant style of play are all admired by Kobe. Although such talent is not a hard talent, it is also a talent!

Beasley is a person with enough physical talent, and his singles talent and technical talent are full. He is the nemesis of players like Ibaka who have little basketball experience and experience!

In addition, Beasley and Durant grew up together. Beasley is really good at playing against players like Ibaka and Durant.

This season, when Ibaka met Beasley, Beasley's score has never been less than 40 points.

If it weren't for Ibaka's strong heart, Ibaka would probably have a psychological shadow from Beasley.

Even if Ibaka didn't have that kind of psychological shadow on Beasley, it is obvious that Ibaka still cares about Beasley's existence.

The competition with Marion made Ibaka gain confidence.

Ibaka hopes to use this confidence in the match with Beasley tonight.

"Prepare well for tonight's game."

Looking at Ibaka, whose face was full of hesitation, Yes patted Ibaka on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Prepare well for tonight's game...

Looking at Yes's back as he left, Ibaka came back to his senses and clenched his hands into fists.

His rookie status, his ability, his status in the NBA, he can't let any NBA team accommodate him.

The people who can put themselves above the team are always star players like Yes.

And he, even if he wants to find something back from Beasley, he doesn't have that kind of tactical position and team status.

In the Seattle Supersonics, in any team in the league, he is the kind of player who does whatever the team needs him to do. If he can't do it, he stays on the bench.

Players like him can't say, I think, I think, I feel this way.

He doesn't have such autonomy.

But what is the reality...

The reality is that he is in the Supersonics, by Yes's side, he really has autonomy that he can't imagine.

Yes never constrains the growth of any teammate around him, no matter whether the Seattle SuperSonics or Yes himself need growth.

For the SuperSonics and Yes, they only need a substitute small forward to replace Durant for a short time. He just needs to do this role well, and he doesn't need to think too much.

But Yes, Mr. Nelson, the SuperSonics, are really willing to give him more space and stage.

Now Durant has started his personal physical recovery training and has entered the timetable for his comeback.

Maybe after Durant comes back, his position in the team will be lost instantly.

Maybe his future may not be in the Seattle SuperSonics anymore.

If there really comes such a day, Ibaka feels that he will not resent anyone in this team.

No, not resentment, he only has gratitude for the people and things of this team.

On February 18, 2009, in Oakland, Golden State, the game against the Warriors was a back-to-back away game for the Seattle SuperSonics.

This game is the last game of the season between the Seattle Supersonics and the Golden State Warriors.

Because it is the last game, Ibaka, who is not very confident about his future, will cherish it especially. Even if he knows that he is not Beasley's opponent, he hopes to put an end to the feud between himself and Beasley in this game.

Maybe in the future, he will never be able to compete with Beasley in the starting position again.

Maybe this game is the last time in his career to regain his dignity from Beasley, even if it is just a little bit of dignity.

In this game against the Warriors, Yes was originally going to brush the task of "Rebounding Superman" in this game.

The third ring of the superstar completion task: Rebounding Superman

Task requirements: In a regular game, grab at least 50 rebounds and no less than 30 offensive rebounds. (ps: The previous task conditions written by the fisherman are all regular season, but in fact they are regular games. Now I will correct it.)

Task description: The host's completion of the first two rings of the completion task has reached excellent, and the guaranteed five-star ten-draw fragments are obtained. The third ring task automatically matches the excellent difficulty task, and the original task of offensive rebounds per game is increased from no less than 20 to 30.

Task reward: a guaranteed five-star ten-draw fragment.

As for this rebounding superman task, although the difficulty of completing it is not as great as the scoring superman and assist superman.

But if you want to hit this data in a normal game, you will never encounter it in your lifetime.

Does Yes have the ability to grab 50 rebounds and no less than 30 offensive rebounds in the game?

Of course he has the ability.

Yes's current offensive and defensive rebounding attributes are both 80, which is a first-class rebounding attribute in the interior and the top in the outside, plus his jumping ability that can reach up to 90 and his rebounding sense cultivated in nearly 4,000 finals.

As long as he encounters the right opportunity, he has the ability to get 50 rebounds or 30 offensive rebounds.

The key is that this suitable opportunity is not easy to come by, and it may not come once in a lifetime.

So, if he wants to complete this task, he needs to find opportunities by himself.

In other words, it means creating a game that can help him to achieve this data.

Obviously, if he wants to create such a game, a strong team is not enough. The inside line of a strong team cannot let him grab 30 frontcourt rebounds, unless it is O'Neal and the Cavaliers, but O'Neal has finished this season.

Since the Cavaliers and O'Neal are no longer available.

Then the next two teams are the Warriors and the Knicks, the weakest teams.

The Knicks are also used up, leaving only the Warriors, and the Warriors only have this one game left.

So, after the All-Stars, when Yes was looking at the rest of the team's schedule, he had already set his sights on this game.

However...

Ibaka's growth seems to need this game more than him.

He needs this game, and the purpose of completing this task is to strengthen himself, and the purpose of strengthening himself is for the team.

And Ibaka needs this game to grow, and Ibaka's growth is also to strengthen the team.

Without the Warriors, a team that is good at brushing stats, he can find another one. After all, the Warriors may not be able to brush stats well. The Warriors are too weak. It is very unlikely that he can brush 20 offensive rebounds without defeating the Warriors. If he defeats the Warriors, he will not be able to brush the 30th offensive rebound.

So, relatively speaking, this game is more effective for Ibaka. This game is more worthwhile to use on Ibaka than on him.

The Warriors have performed very badly in the NBA this season.

So far, the team has played 55 games, but the record of this team is 5 wins and 50 losses.

This record is really bad and shocking.

"For a team with such a bad record, it can have such an attendance rate of over 100%. Mike Beasley's performance this season is amazing."

"It is true. The Warriors have only won five games this season, but Beasley has averaged 30 points per game this season and scored more than 20 points in 55 consecutive games. The average of 30 points per game in the rookie season is the third in the NBA in the past ten years after Yes and Durant, and the rookie with 20+ points in 55 consecutive games is the second in NBA history after Yes."

"Strong strength, outstanding talent and saint-like personality "Beasley has incredible achievements in Golden State and Oakland."

"That's right. Because of the poor record of the Warriors, Beasley's popularity and fame in the United States and the world are a little lower, but in Golden State and Oakland, Beasley is definitely first-class."

"I heard that Nike, Adidas and Yes Sports have been discussing signing sneakers with Beasley. Beasley is likely to be another rookie player with his own signature sneakers after James, Yes, Roy and Durant."

The game between the Seattle Supersonics and the Warriors was a nationally televised game.

The Warriors are the last in the West and the last in the league, and it is difficult to win a game.

The Supersonics are now the sixth in the West and a strong team in the league.

In such a game, the outcome is actually very clear.

In such a clear game, the outcome is not suspenseful. As commentators of this game, Barkley and Kenny Smith are racking their brains to shape the highlights of this game.

To be honest, there is really nothing to watch in this game except the scoring battle between Beasley and Yes.

So, before the game started, when the players of the two teams were warming up, Barkley and Kenny Smith really praised Beasley.

Only by praising Beasley to the sky, the audience in front of the TV will believe that Beasley may really be a rookie player at the same level as Yes.

In fact, Beasley's performance in the NBA this season has really given many fans in the United States and the world high expectations.

Didn't ESPN just investigate who is the successor of Yes in the world and who is the most like Yes?

After the results of ESPN's online survey came out, it really blinded a lot of people's eyes.

Originally, ESPN's survey candidates were only Rose and Curry.

Rose is the hottest rookie in the NBA this season, and Curry is the hottest player in the NCAA now.

ESPN is just riding on the popularity of these two people.

But the first fan on the Internet is not the fifteenth but the second, who is dissatisfied with ESPN's two options for riding on the popularity.

"I think there is someone who is more like Yes than these two. I nominate Mike Beasley of the Warriors."

Not Fifteen is Second is a big V who actively sends heat to ESPN.

They also added Beasley as a food delivery option.

"Is Not Fifteen a grudge against Beasley? Why did they send Beasley to send?"

Many people said so at the time.

But in the end, Beasley beat Curry and Rose by 50%.

"Curry's shooting is like Yes, Rose's athletic talent is like Yes, but Beasley is the most like Yes in personality, and the most important reason why Yes has such a great achievement now is Yes's personality."

The words of Not Fifteen is Second were actually recognized by the six billion coconut powder.

So, the previous formula was Yes=Rose+Curry, and now the formula of Yes has become Rose+Curry+Beasley.

In the last game against the Supersonics, Beasley did not have the title of Yes's successor.

But now he has the title of Yes's successor!

This really made Beasley speechless.

That's not fifteenth but second, it's really bullshit.

I don't know if I'm a saint or not!

Yes, that's a real saint, I was forced to do it!

When I have money, I won't act like a saint anymore!

Having said that, but now, the gentle smile on Beasley's face, the compassionate expression he always carries, really makes Yes admire.

"Yes, I know we will still lose, but our spirit will never lose. In this game, I still want to beat you."

He is really a humble player who always makes people feel fighting spirit and upward force.

"Mike, your opponent today is not me."

Of course I know it's not you, I'm just talking, don't take it seriously, who doesn't know that he wants to beat Ibaka, that rubbish, in the game against the Supersonics!

"Serge is different now than before."

"Really? I'll wait and see."

Beasley blinked, with some regret on his face.

At the same time, Ibaka looked aside with an expression of appreciation.

Ibaka is different from before?

Beasley felt a little disdainful.

From a small ditch to a slightly larger ditch?

Beasley was very, very disdainful.

It's not KD. For a player like Ibaka, no one except KD can stand on equal footing with him!

He's not even arrogant!

He's called confidence!

The game is over.

132 to 116, the Seattle Supersonics defeated the Warriors away.

"This is a result that was almost predetermined before the game."

"Mike Beasley scored 40+ against the Supersonics in this game. Beasley scored 55 points in this game. Congratulations to Beasley. This is his 56th consecutive game with 20+!"

The game was won.

Ibaka wanted to show his presence in front of Beasley.

Ibaka also wanted to show his presence in the game.

But for him now, Beasley is indeed a big presence that he can't approach.

Not to mention that Ibaka's current ability is barely C-level, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Ibaka to show his presence in front of Beasley when his ability reaches B-level.

"Find your goal, don't be discouraged, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Yes?

There will be plenty of opportunities in the future...

Will I really have a chance in the future?
