Chapter 1040 A Miracle Is Really Coming!
Leonard is willing to participate in the draft this year, and Yeas is very happy.
This worrying disciple of mine was finally willing to step out of his comfort zone.
Yes knew that Leonard was unwilling to step out of his comfort zone and get used to the previous environment and habits.
Regardless of whether Leonard is stronger or weaker than Bradley now, or even if he is only the 15th pick, he cannot stay in Seattle, and the Sonics cannot get him.
It can be said that Leonard's declaration to participate in this year's draft means that he will go to other places in the United States next season, just like Bradley.
Although Ye Si was very worried about his sensitive, fragile, honest disciple with a miserable life experience, he was worried because the eagle always had to fly and could not remain in its infancy.
It’s always good to go outside and exercise, and in his current capacity, as long as he doesn’t meet a coach of Popovich’s level or a team like the Spurs, most teams, most head coaches, and most players are actually I didn't dare to bully him too badly.
What's more, he has strength, it's not that he really doesn't have strength.
Therefore, regarding Leonard's participation in the draft, although there was not much reaction from the United States.
If Leonard immediately declares for the draft when the University of Washington wins the championship, media across the country will definitely rush to report on it.
Times have changed now, and everyone's draft targets have been set on popular players such as Bradley, John Wall, and Cousins. Who cares about this little shrimp like him.
However, although the reaction from the league was not very strong, among those related to Yees, the reaction caused by Leonard's participation in the draft was really quite violent.
On April 9, 2010, the Seattle SuperSonics challenged the Golden State Warriors away from home.
Before the game between the SuperSonics and the Warriors started, Curry excitedly ran to Ye Si and talked about his junior brother Leonard.
"Kawhi is finally willing to leave Seattle!"
Curry is very excited, as excited as a sister who has finally grown up and is getting married.
Why be excited instead of sad and worried?
Yes, of course, was a little worried about Leonard.
But this kid...
"Master, don't worry, the Warriors will definitely work hard to select Kawhi this year!"
It turns out this is what this kid had in mind!
My sister is getting married.
The reason why the elder brother is not sad but also excited is that it is actually possible for the elder brother to marry...
This guy deserves a beating!
However, although the hope is not great, the Warriors are indeed more likely to get Leonard than the Seattle SuperSonics.
After all, although Leonard's draft pick is close to the lottery, he has not entered the lottery after all, and has not been recognized as a lottery player, so it is possible that he will fall to around 20 and be picked up by the Warriors.
If the Warriors can really get Leonard, Beasley will help him educate Leonard's character, and Curry will help him take care of Leonard's life. This would be an excellent place.
However, why do you want to beat Curry up in this game when you see him looking so excited?
That's right, this kid really deserves to be beaten. Now this kid's mind is very dangerous!
This game between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Golden State Warriors is one of the only two real games in the Seattle SuperSonics' remaining four games.
The Seattle SuperSonics are now striving to win the regular season, while the Warriors are also competing for the chance to finally reach the top five in the Western Conference.
The Thunder are now eighth in the Western Conference, but the competition for the top five in the Western Conference between the Timberwolves, Nuggets and Warriors has not yet been determined.
The Warriors are still at a disadvantage in the competition and need to maintain a complete victory. Let's look at the situation of the Timberwolves and Nuggets.
Therefore, in this Warriors home game, this team naturally hopes to win the game.
The Warriors' fighting spirit is very high in this game.
Ye Si's fighting spirit is also very high in this game.
In this game, Ye Si felt that there was no need to mobilize at all to beat Curry!
Of course, after this season of NBA training, the progress of Curry, his disciple, is quite obvious.
After being bullied by him before, Curry didn't dare to fight.
After getting the ball, he immediately uploaded it, but now, Curry is very confident. Even if he is close to him, Curry now dares to use his talent to feel his hand condition. If the hand condition is good, Curry is I will choose to fight him resolutely.
The confidence has increased, and coupled with the fact that there is no weakness in terms of price, as an opponent, Curry is a quite formidable opponent.
This is also the reason why Curry, as a rookie in the NBA this season, was hardly taught by veterans on the offensive end.
Basically, as long as Curry feels good, no veteran can teach him offensively.
Including Yes.
Of course, Curry has also been educated.
For example, when his hand feels bad.
For example, players who are good at back-up play can make Curry pay the price on the defensive end and educate Curry.
Therefore, although Curry is basically not educated on the offensive end, he is educated on the defensive end every game.
Which NBA team doesn't have one or two perimeter players with good back-ups?
The only one Curry's defense can bully now is Rondo.
It's just that Curry didn't know that he was Rondo's nemesis.
The NBA's worst defensive player is the nemesis of the NBA's strongest offensive scoring champion.
I have to say, this is really interesting.
Of course, Ye Si will not just educate Curry on the defensive end like those who educate Curry in this game.
He only has 20 points per game. How many times can he educate Curry?
It is difficult for others to deal with Curry's offense, and it is also difficult for Ye Si to deal with it, but it is not impossible.
Yes is very familiar with Curry. Curry's shooting, running, various offensive skills, and even the rhythm and method of passing are all learned from Yes.
Curry's fake moves basically have no secrets in front of Ye Si. If Curry wants to beat Ye Si one on one, he needs to complete the confrontation with Ye Si in order to find that fleeting opportunity.
Of course, how could a kid as smart as Curry like to play one-on-one with Ye Si? This kid likes to call screens and pick-and-rolls most of the time when facing him.
In fact, Curry would not choose to call a screen in front of Ye Si if he could.
Because after he screened the ball, Yes joined him, and it was basically impossible for Curry to receive passes from his teammates.
Curry likes to move and receive passes from his teammates after passing the ball in pick-and-rolls, but it is also difficult for Curry to move with Yesby and take the opportunity.
So, even though Curry's self-confidence has soared now and confrontations have arisen, if Ye Si really gets serious with him, it will be very uncomfortable for Curry.
He can't do it alone, and there's nothing he can do with help. As someone who likes to perform, every time Ye Si gets serious, he has no chance to perform at all. This is even more uncomfortable than killing Curry.
He would rather hit the iron thirty times in a game than only take three shots in a game.
The Warriors really wanted to win this game. Only by winning could they have a chance to be among the top five in the Western Conference. However, in the end, under Curry's undercover, the Warriors still lost to the Seattle SuperSonics at home.
This made Warriors head coach Mike Beasley very upset after the game.
The expressions of self-blame and grief and anger moved the Warriors players very much.
The boss always takes the responsibility on himself, and they are under a lot of pressure.
In the Western Conference, Beasley's performance has been very great after he has brought a trashy team into the playoffs in just two seasons.
Nick Young and Aldridge Conley have not yet brought the team into the playoffs.
But after all, this person is Mike Beasley, now recognized by the league as the first person after Yes, the true prince of the league, and it is normal to have high demands on himself.
The Warriors win this game and still have a chance to see the outcome of the Timberwolves and Nuggets.
If you lose this game, you basically have no chance.
On the other side, after defeating the Golden State Warriors, the Seattle SuperSonics' season winning record has reached 79 games.
We are now three games away from the 82nd win of the season.
After defeating the powerful enemy of the Warriors, the Seattle SuperSonics are undoubtedly close to winning 82 games.
There is only one strong opponent left in the three games, and the remaining two opponents are really just a matter of procedure.
On April 11, 2010, the Seattle SuperSonics continued their road trip after defeating the Warriors.
This away game against the Trail Blazers is also the last away game of the season for the Seattle SuperSonics.
The Blazers led by Aldridge, Conley, Webster, Eric Gordon, Gortat and others are still performing very well this season.
The Trail Blazers have been on the edge of the playoffs for three consecutive seasons. They are really only one piece of paper away from entering the playoffs.
But what is frustrating is that there is no way to break it.
This makes Aldridge uncomfortable.
Tucker is his younger brother, and Durant is his younger brother. Now both of them have become famous in the Seattle SuperSonics. They have won two championships. They have to win all the seasons, but he has not even made the playoffs. Saidu didn't go in.
His younger brother Durant had already entered the top 50 in NBA history at the end of last season, but as a senior, he has no historical status at all.
It's hard for Aldridge, and it's hard for Conley. He was his childhood sweetheart with Oden, and he studied with Oden under Ye Ye. Oden has now become a big boss in the league, Curry has now shined, and even Nick Young has entered the league. All-star, he became famous in one fell swoop.
And what about him?
As a disciple of Yes, Conley was really miserable in the NBA. His statistics were very good and he averaged 20 per game. But if you ask the fans in the league, how many of them know Conley?
As a disciple of Yes, I behave like a transparent person.
Can you not feel uncomfortable?
With his junior brother Leonard at the bottom, he doesn’t have to worry about being Yes’ most useless disciple.
But even if he is not the most useless disciple of Yes, it is already a shame that his junior brother Leonard needs to be at the bottom, okay?
Many people envy that being a disciple of Yes is a good thing. It is indeed a good thing, but it is also very stressful.
After missing the playoffs for three consecutive years, Conley and Aldridge, the two bosses of the Trail Blazers, are very anxious.
Ye Si could actually see the anxiety of these two people.
In fact, Ye Si is not very surprised why the Blazers can't push away this layer of window paper.
Both Conley and Aldridge performed outstandingly.
Both averaged 20 points per game this season.
And the efficiency is very high. Aldridge shot 50% from the field and Conley shot 45% from the three-point range and 40% from the three-point range. This is also quite high for a point guard.
And looking at their helpers, Eric Gordon, Webster, and Gortat are not considered weak hands.
But this team still always feels a little less interesting at critical moments.
"This team lacks a player who can be the boss."
After Old Nelson finished speaking, Yesi nodded.
This is indeed the case. Aldridge's style of play is a bit soft, while Conley has been Oden's little brother since he was a child. He has neither a soft personality nor a soft style of play. He just doesn't have the domineering attitude to compete with Aldridge. Grab the boss.
"This is a perfect auxiliary team. If a super boss joins, this team will take off."
Yesi believed in Nelson's judgment.
If you give the Trail Blazers a figure like Oden or Kobe Duncan, this team will indeed take off.
But how could this team get such a figure?
The Trail Blazers are not that attractive. Because of Jordan, this team was the team that was ridiculed by the previous Raptors. Who is willing to go to the Raptors now?
Although the Raptors have replaced the Trail Blazers, the allure of the Trail Blazers has always been there.
If you can't sign such a superstar in free agency, you can only hope to change your destiny through the draft.
But the Trail Blazers have neither a good nor a bad pick, and they can't draft any big names.
so……
"Master, I'm going to let the team select Kawhi in this year's draft!"
"..."
After the game, Conley said seriously and excitedly.
He definitely didn't want Kawhi to keep him company to make him look less useless, he simply liked this little junior brother.
Seeing Conley like this, Yeos felt that if he and Curry said this before the game, the Blazers would definitely lose worse in this game.
After all, Curry just enjoys being his brother's swank and playing tricks on his younger siblings.
And Conley is really marryable!
The Trail Blazers are in the lottery this year, and Leonard's draft prospects are not in the lottery.
However, excluding other factors, the Trail Blazers are indeed a very good place for Leonard.
It’s just that this team is very restrained in players who are not so tough...
His Leonard doesn't look like a tough man...
Headache.
Amid Conley's doubts, Yes left Portland with a dark face.
After defeating the Trail Blazers to win 80 consecutive games this season, on April 12, 2010, the Seattle SuperSonics returned to Seattle at home and defeated the Suns for 81 wins. All the world's attention was really focused on Seattle and the SuperSonics. The speed of sound was put on the Memphis Grizzlies.
"Eighty-two wins are really coming!"
James didn't know whether he was envious, jealous or excited. His regretful hands clenched tightly into fists, and his body even trembled a little.
