Chapter 999 This Is My Miracle Place!
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Seattle SuperSonics did not put all their efforts into a decisive battle with the Heat with the entire main lineup at the beginning of the fourth quarter.
In the third quarter of the game, both Yees and Nelson could feel the ups and downs in Durant and Rondo's mental state.
It's not that the two of them are exhausted, but that to compete with the Heat, the two of them need to be in 100% mental and physical condition. However, in the third quarter, especially the second half of the third quarter, the two This kind of physical and mental state of a person is only 95 points, or even 90 points.
It can be said that although Durant and Rondo are not exhausted, after all, their combat power is still very strong, but their temporary limit has been reached.
It no longer makes any sense for the two of them to grit their teeth and lead the team to compete with the Heat.
Therefore, when the fourth quarter came up, the Heat and SuperSonics were still rotating lineups.
Due to the decline in mental and physical condition of Durant and Rondo in the third quarter, the Seattle SuperSonics fell behind by four points in the second half of the third quarter.
After the start of the fourth quarter, the rotation led by James Harden and Gasol maintained their physical and mental state, but the Sonics' lag on the court continued to widen.
Sitting on the bench, looking at the rotation of the two teams on the court, Ye Si's face showed no change in expression, while Old Nelson next to him sighed slightly.
In the first three quarters, the SuperSonics rotation lineup has always been at a disadvantage against the Heat's rotation lineup, but the score is not behind. This is mainly due to the efficiency of James Harden.
There is a difference between James Harden's efficiency and Durant Rondo's efficiency.
In terms of efficiency and stability, James Harden's efficiency is not as stable as Durant and Rondo's.
James Harden's efficiency on the offensive end relies on his talent for predicting danger.
On the offensive end, this talent can basically be expressed as being able to predict where the opponent's vulnerabilities are.
However, what if the other party has no loopholes?
Durant and Rondo's stability depends on themselves.
Durant's 50-50 score does not depend on the defensive players at all.
Rondo's sudden explosion also cost him only 76, regardless of whether it's McGrady, Kobe or James.
But James Harden is different.
When the Heat were ravaged by him for three quarters and used Pierce and Garnett to defend him, James Harden's efficiency would indeed drop significantly, and his stability would be far lower than that of Durant and Rondo.
When James Harden's scoring efficiency was not that high, the limits of the Sonics' rotation were also tested by Leafs.
With Barea gone, the Seattle SuperSonics rotation lacks an offensive strength other than James Harden.
Gasol and Ibaka are both very good offensively, but in this strangled game, neither of them are currently offensive enough to help James Harden open up the situation.
When facing ordinary opponents, Sessions took James Harden's pass and organized Ibaka to make assists. However, facing an opponent like the Heat, James Harden's offense ran into problems. The offense lasted for about 20 seconds and had no chance to throw the ball to Sessions.
Sessions' passing ability cannot allow him to organize Ibaka and Xiaojia to score in less than seven seconds.
"The Sonics are finally close!"
James Harden and the Sonics' rotation are struggling to stay afloat.
However, the score was still drawn apart inexplicably.
When seeing this scene, Kenny Smith was really relieved from the bottom of his heart.
Not only Kenny Smith, but also Spoelstra breathed a sigh of relief.
He has been shocked by the limits of other Sonics players.
If these Sonics players can be evenly matched with them for the entire game without Yes's scoring contribution, that will really make him doubt his life!
It was not until the fourth quarter of the game that the Sonics showed their fatigue. This was enough to surprise and surprise Spoelstra.
Fortunately, the Seattle SuperSonics' fatigue has still appeared.
After their starters showed fatigue, so did their rotation.
"When the team does not have an outstanding offensive strong point like Barea, James needs to learn to take the initiative to form connections with other players on the team. He cannot rely on Sessions' transfer organization. He needs to work with Garros, Ibaka, etc. People connect.”
Different from Durant Rondo's fatigue, these two people have no problem with their own skills and tactics. They simply have difficulty defeating four hands with two fists. The opponent is too strong and they collapse too tightly.
And the limit James Harden has reached is his own problem.
James Harden has organizational skills, but his organizational skills are now mainly reflected in his own luck and luck, and then suddenly taking the blame in the end.
If it's not Durant, or an offensive powerhouse like Barea, whoever takes the blame will be uncomfortable, so Sessions needs to help him distribute the blame he passes out again.
Now that the Heat's defense is too strong, Sessions can't get rid of the blame in a short time after receiving the blame, and there is something wrong with the Sonics' offensive system.
Yease and Nelson now see the problems with James Harden and the Sonics' rotation.
Under the strong pressure of the Heat, James Harden, who has performed very well this season, can be as good as Pierce 50-50, showed his problems.
Of course, as a rotation substitute player, if there are problems, he will not be criticized by media experts or fans.
------>>
It's strange that there are no problems for a rotation substitute player.
But for James Harden, he still feels uncomfortable.
He didn't regard himself as a substitute or rotation player!
His ultimate goal is to replace Rondo!
122 to 114!
Halfway through the fourth quarter, the Miami Heat's lead expanded from four to eight points.
After three and a half quarters of the game, with a little more than six minutes left, facing such a powerful Heat and falling behind by eight points, this is indeed a very disappointing thing.
So when the Sonics rotation players came off the court, everyone had a sad look on their face.
They have been working very hard. After James Harden's offense was blocked, Gasol, Ibaka and others have been working very hard to find opportunities to attack. The team's offensive system was destroyed and they could not play for half a quarter. To get 12 points, this is already very good.
But opponents like the Heat are not something you can defeat just by being good.
You have to perform at a very high level to beat them.
When the fourth quarter entered an official timeout, it was not just the SuperSonics rotation players who came off the court who had very uncomfortable looks on their faces.
The SuperSonics starting players who were sitting on the bench also had very uncomfortable looks on their faces.
Yes has not made a shot in this game so far, giving up the extremely high 20 points per game, giving up more than 20 points per game in his career, and went all out to organize their scoring in this game. Give them the opportunity to perform and the stage to perform.
During the halftime break, they felt that the Miami Heat were just as high-spirited as they were.
During the halftime break, they even felt that the second half was their advantage!
But the current situation is indeed making them uncomfortable.
They don't think anything about losing to the Heat.
They never felt that they were the kind of proud people who couldn't lose.
The key is that they not only lost in this game, but they also implicated Yes!
This gave them a feeling that yes, this game mistrusted them.
yes's current score is still zero points. yes did not start a decisive battle at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Under such circumstances, they still gave them the opportunity and stage, but they failed to live up to yes's trust.
This makes these young SuperSonics players afraid to look at Ye Si at this time.
The game has reached this point.
When you feel that you may not win the game, you think about what you will lose if you lose the game.
In the entire Sonics, except for Ye Si, no one has anything to lose.
Even because of the performance opportunity created by yes for them, the strength of James Harden and others has been further recognized.
If you lose this game, you will lose something. The only choice is yes!
They actually hope to lose this game. They are the ones who will lose something...
"Boys, your performance in this game has been very good. Compared with a mature and powerful team like the Heat, we still have many shortcomings. In this game, each of you has found your own shortcomings. As long as After this game, you can make up for your shortcomings, and then this game is just an ordinary regular season failure."
The SuperSonics players are feeling very uncomfortable right now. Although Nelson's words make them feel a little better, they still feel very uncomfortable.
20 points per game, never less than 20 points in his career, these two legends came to an abrupt end because of them.
They understand what Old Nelson said, but they have lost two legends like this, and they haven't even won a victory yet. Who can bear it?
Look at the Heat bench next door. Garnett and James are beating their chests and shouting loudly as if competing with each other. They can hear it from so far away.
In such a game that has gone down in history, we are almost close to victory. If we don’t perform at this time, when will we perform?
Garnett is a player with a performance personality.
James is also a player with a performance personality.
In the 2008 Olympics, James' performance personality was suppressed by O'Neal's performance personality.
After such a long period of hard work and improvement, James' current performance personality is not comparable to that of O'Neal, but he is already on par with Garnett.
For a time, the scene of James and Garnett beating their chests and mouthing ba ba ba ba was transmitted to thousands of households on television and the Internet.
"Two more recognized leadership moments in the NBA!"
Well, in the NBA, leadership moments are mostly performed...
You can beat your chest and roar, and even if you have never succeeded, you are more of a leader than those who can't beat your chest or roar.
Of course, at this time Garnett and James never thought they were performing.
------>>
They are indeed a little out of control now, and it is difficult to suppress their inner excitement.
Since Yes entered the NBA, how many people in the NBA have tried one after another to reduce Yes's single game score to less than 20 points, but they all failed in the end!
So much so that ESPN and many media changed the most difficult thing to do in the NBA from 82 consecutive wins to allowing Yes to score less than 20 points.
Maybe someone can achieve 82 consecutive victories, but now it is impossible for Yes to score less than 20 points!
Now, the Heat not only have to defeat Yes in Seattle, a place where yes belongs, but also have to pull him down from such an altar. It's hard to calm down just thinking about it.
"I didn't expect that yes's first time was actually broken by them..."
Afflalo looked very unhappy now, and the dark aura emanating from his body made Nowitzki and the Mavericks players next to him subconsciously want to retreat.
Yes has always been the target of Afflalo's pursuit, everyone knows this.
So they can understand why Afflalo is feeling so uncomfortable now.
I have been chasing the goddess who wanted to push her, but to be pushed for the first time by such a crude man with a low personality, no one can accept it.
Not to mention Afflalo, who regards yes as the target of pursuit.
Even they all feel that yes is being pushed like this because yes is not worth it.
First of all, the Heat team cheated too much, and at the same time, Yes's game was too selfless.
"In the future, if anyone dares to say that yes has improved statistics in the NBA, I will be the first to stand up and help yes!"
"Jason, I don't think you can be the first one to come forward."
"No, I don't think anyone in their right mind would say yes or collect data during the game after this game."
Yes is going to be pushed.
The number one goddess in NBA history is about to be pushed.
In their view, it's not that the Heat are too strong and yes is powerless.
But yes is really too holy!
This game between the Sonics and the Heat is really a bit like the plot in the movie where powerful decent people are defeated by evil and shameless villains because of the Virgin Mary.
Look at the scene on TV of Wade constantly beeping next to yes in an attempt to humiliate yes.
They are really sorry for yes.
Um? !
Just when everyone in the Mavericks began to sigh for Ye Si, a sudden scene came from the TV, causing the chattering Mavericks players to suddenly mute their voices.
There was a brushing sound!
On the TV, Wade, who had been beeping just now, suddenly looked back at the basketball rolling on the ground with his eyes wide open in disbelief.
On the court, both the SuperSonics players and the Heat players were stunned when they saw the basketball rolling on the ground.
This was the first time I took a shot in this game. There was no cold feeling and no need for probing attacks. On the first attack, I forced a shot under the double-teaming of Wade and James and hit a three-pointer.
"This is Seattle."
The sound was not loud and cold, but everyone watching the game could hear it at this time.
Especially Wade.
Because he could feel that this voice was coming towards him.
Yes, this is in response to his provocation!
"This is Seattle."
"I'm the Seattle Miracle."
“This is my place of wonder.”
This is Seattle, this is my place of wonders...
Looking at the figure walking back, James, Wade, everyone at the scene, and all the viewers in front of the TV opened their mouths.
Could it be? !
"Yes, let's work harder!"
Buckley, who had been sighing all night, was excited.
After Wade and James came to their senses, their expressions began to change.
"This is a fearless struggle!"
