Chapter 379 Victory! Defeat! 1 Person! 1 City!
Running away from the villa in the middle of the lake, Ye Si understood what Bradley meant when he said that the whole of Seattle was crazy.
Every Seattleite Ye Si met on the road looked at him with crazy eyes!
This crazy look was very familiar to Ye Si.
It was there when the Garfield Five were taking things by storm.
It also happened when the University of Washington won the NCAA championship last year.
The rise of the Garfield Fab Five in Seattle was a miracle. Those five kids represented the spirit and pride of a city.
The same is true for the University of Washington's NCAA championship.
They took last night's game very seriously.
It was so heavy that it surprised Ye Si.
"This is no ordinary victory!"
"The team Yes led us to defeat was not an ordinary team!"
"In the crisis of 4-0 sweep, Yes once again saved the team!"
"No discouragement, no disappointment, no depression, no discouragement, this is Seattle's persistence!"
"Work hard! Work hard! Go all out! Try your best! Regardless! This is the spirit of Seattle!"
“Yes used everything he did to once again show us what this city is proud of.”
"Last night, what shined in Phoenix was a hurricane, a miracle, and the pride of Seattle!"
"No matter how difficult it is, pride will never fall!"
The Stranger reports.
A local Seattle newspaper that was finally out of stock.
The picture on the front page of the newspaper was of him walking through the Suns team as they lined up for him at the end of the game.
The style of pictures and text in newspapers is always so familiar.
but……
Seattle pride?
Ye Si had seen this description many times in the Stranger newspaper.
But those were all questions. For the first time, Ye Si saw affirmative sentences in the Stranger's newspaper.
The last time his name appeared alongside a proud affirmation in The Stranger, he was flanked by five other people.
Now, he is the only one left.
One person, one city.
Yesi put away the newspaper.
The wind picks up again, the road recedes again, and ahead is the target.
The impact of the second game between the SuperSonics and the Suns was undoubtedly the greatest in Seattle.
Except for Seattle though.
Other places across the country are also going crazy about this game!
Just like Barkley said when commentating on this game.
This is the game that changes the tide of this series!
When this seemingly unchangeable series changes, how can it possibly be a series that changes!
What this game changed was the entire NBA situation!
In the Eastern Conference Finals, the Boston Celtics and Washington Wizards played a brutal game.
In the first game, the Celtics defeated the Wizards by 25 points at home.
The Wizards, who showed their dark horse qualities in the first two rounds, were quite weak in front of the Celtics.
The three-headed monster of Arenas, Caron Butler, and Jamison is extremely difficult to face in front of the Celtics' Big Three.
Except for Arenas who is still strong, the other two look so vulnerable.
Both teams looked gorgeous.
Both teams have their own problems.
Obviously, the Celtics' problem is smaller than the Wizards' problem, much smaller!
The Celtics and Wizards have only played one game, but the Celtics seem to be in the Finals.
Because Arenas scored 42 points in this game!
Arenas scored 42 points and the Wizards still lost by 25 points. This is a big problem.
The Celtics qualify in the Eastern Conference, but who qualify in the Western Conference?
Is it the sun that was determined before?
Or is it the Sonics that have changed?
The Celtics faced the Suns twice in this year's regular season and lost both times, and by big margins.
The Celtics faced the SuperSonics twice in this year's regular season and won both games, and they were considered big wins!
In a competitive environment like the Eastern Conference, it would be difficult for the Celtics to go all out in the regular season.
But even so, the Celtics' record against the Suns and the SuperSonics is of great reference value.
sun? Supersonic?
Who would the Celtics prefer to play in the Finals?
Is this still a choice?
In addition to Seattle fans, the most crazy people in the second game between the Suns and SuperSonics are the Boston fans.
Before the start of the playoffs between the SuperSonics and the Suns, experts across the country were overwhelmingly optimistic about the Suns.
After this game, experts from major media organizations made new predictions for this series. The situation has changed dramatically.
"Old Nelson's crazy tactics changed this series!"
"Yes's super strength determines this series!"
"Now, everything is unknown!"
Now everything is unknown!
Unknown fun is always the most attractive.
Public opinion across the country is now going crazy as the series between the Suns and Sonics becomes unknown.
But for Leafs and the Sonics, they were in no mood to dance with it.
The third game between the SuperSonics and the Suns is on May 25 at Key Arena.
The SuperSonics and Suns ended their second game on May 22.
There will be a 3-day break in between.
These three days of rest are very important for the Sonics.
Nelson's confusing small lineup tactics in the second game against the Suns have now become the standard tactics for the Sonics and Suns in this series.
Confusing small lineup tactics.
This is the name given to Nelson's tactic by a national expert.
Nelson's tactic uses a small lineup of one player and four players.
It is said that there are one big player and four small ones, but the only big player is playing small forward.
Small positioning for big players.
The two inside positions are filled by the two smallest point guards.
The small lineup of one big and four small should have virtual positions. Except for the big one, the four smalls should preferably not have specific positions.
But the one large and four small children created by Old Nelson have extremely strong positional attributes.
Two small ones act like a big one, and one big person acts like a small one.
Everything is so chaotic!
The strategy of confusing small lineups is highly rated by experts.
The chaotic small lineup strategy shocked the whole world as soon as it appeared.
The effectiveness of the tactics is incredible.
Under the current praise from the United States, Nelson is very calm.
He knows very well that his tactics are far from as perfect as those who praise him say.
To put it nicely, the chaotic small lineup tactics were created by his madness and imagination.
But Nelson knows very well that the reason why the chaotic small lineup tactics are recognized is due to the strong strength of Yes.
To him, there was nothing bragging about this tactic.
It’s just about squeezing Yes as much as possible.
He wouldn't do it if he could.
but……
This is his choice, and this is Yes's choice.
Now, he just wants to protect Yes's consumption as much as possible.
Since Yes is the only hope of victory in the face of the powerful sun, and squeezing Yes has become a foregone conclusion, he can only dance in this foregone conclusion as much as possible and think of ways for Yes.
Offensively, there is very little that can be changed.
It all depends on Yes’ singles and Yes’ blame-shifting system.
We can only rely on Yes's singles and blame-shifting system.
But on the defensive end, he has room to work hard.
Make Yes less tired, make Yes run a little less, and make Yes take off a little less.
As long as the Sonics players can be out of position less.
The defense of the Sonics' small lineup is an inherent problem, and this cannot be changed.
Rondo is 1.84 meters tall, and Barea is officially 1.83 meters tall, but anyone who is not blind can see that he is not even 1.8 meters tall.
The shortest player on the Suns is Nash, who is 1.91 meters tall.
There's no way around this natural problem, but try your best not to lose your position so easily, okay?
How to make Sonics players less likely to get out of position?
Nelson was thinking of a way.
The options are very limited.
The sun's conductive ball is too powerful.
The Suns' run-and-gun and blame-shifting system is a perfect combination of individuals and teams.
In all his years in the NBA, he has never seen a team with a better offense than the current Suns.
Facing such a team, not to mention the young Sonics under him, even some famous veterans may not be able to bear it.
Yes did such a good job in assisting defense in the last game, which really exceeded his expectations.
Without Yes's dominant performance on the defensive end in the last game, the Sonics would not have won.
Attack, defend, rotate!
His tactics successfully put the Sonics on the shoulders of Yes.
Old Nelson frowned tightly.
"My eyes are dazzled!"
"My eyes hurt now, more than playing games all night!"
"Everyone, just be patient and defeat the sun!"
Defeating the Suns in the second game greatly boosted the morale of the SuperSonics!
The depression caused by the draft lottery is gone!
No matter who leaves next season, let’s help Yes win the championship this season first!
Will it matter who leaves and who stays? !
Facing the powerful Sun, the SuperSonics are indeed still at a disadvantage.
But it’s much better than having no ability to fight back at all!
After the chaotic small lineup tactics are implemented, the SuperSonics can be 50-50 with the Suns as a whole!
At least, in the case of minutes, the strength of the SuperSonics and the Suns is already very close.
Even public opinion outside felt that they had another chance.
Things are booming for the Sonics now.
However, what makes these Sonics players a little uncomfortable is that.
During these three days, they were forced by Coach Nelson to watch clips of past Suns games every day.
Watching the Suns' dazzling passing game on TV, the Sonics players soon felt the double pressure, both physically and mentally.
It's so tight that the pressure on my eyes is unbearable.
If they could, they swore that they would never want to watch a Suns game again in their lives.
"Mr. Nelson, is this exercise useful?"
Assistant coach Brooks' face was full of expectations.
"Not much use."
Old Nelson said calmly.
Just watching the game.
When watching the game, every spectator has a God's perspective.
Watching the game on TV and playing it in person are two completely different feelings.
Players don't have a god's eye view of the game.
He lets the players watch the Suns' games, not to let them decipher the secrets of the Suns' passing, but just to let them understand what kind of players they are playing against and what kind of things such players can do on the court.
When they truly understand what kind of player is standing in front of them, they will not be confused because of disbelief, nor will they add confusion to Yes because of confusion.
In the last game, when the Sonics players were on defense, facing the Suns at full strength, they made many mistakes and also caused chaos.
May 25, 2007, Key Arena, Seattle.
After three days of truce, the Western Conference Finals started again!
This game is the Sonics' first game.
Stimulated by the previous victory, Seattle fans showed great enthusiasm for this game!
"!"
It's incredible to be in the middle of such a volume.
"Seattle SuperSonics fans are using their actions to move this series in an unknown direction in favor of the SuperSonics!"
After the last game, Nelson was thinking hard about how to play this game.
D'Antoni is doing the same thing.
D'Antoni is even more painful.
At least Nelson can still find directions in which the team can become better.
D'Antoni found that he couldn't even find a way to make the team better.
Facing the big teacher and the chaotic small lineup tactics, how should he adjust?
The combination of a big teacher and a chaotic small lineup left him and the Suns with no choice.
"Judging from the remarks made by the head coaches of the two teams before the game, the room for adjustment by the two teams in this series is very small!"
Barkley was very nervous. The two teams had very little room for adjustment, which meant that the game became even more cruel.
It’s almost a 50-50 situation, and everyone already knows each other very well, doesn’t that make the game cruel?
The process of the third game between the SuperSonics and the Suns was indeed like this.
"Yes, the game lasted another 48 minutes!"
!
Under Yes' defense, Nash failed to win!
The Seattle SuperSonics won their second victory in this series!
2 to 1!
This 2 is actually supersonic? !
Barkley is now going crazy for Yes who scored 53 points on 21 of 41 shooting in this game.
Kenny Smith, on the other hand, is now staring blankly at the big score on the big screen.
Who would have thought that in this series, the Sonics would lead by a big score?
At the moment when Nash failed to win the game and the red buzzer sounded, many in the media gallery who had previously believed that the Sonics could not win a game and that Yeas was destined to be laughed at for his big talk had despairing expressions on their faces.
Can this lead? !
Nash looked at Yes in front of him.
He had already escaped Rondo, but in the end he still couldn't escape the great teacher!
Physical state: exhausted (all attributes temporarily reduced by 20%).
For the first time, Ye Si's body experienced this familiar yet unfamiliar state during a game.
On May 27, 2007, after two days of short rest, the SuperSonics and Suns began their fourth game.
The moment the buzzer sounded at the end of this much-anticipated game, ESNP headlined this on their front page.
"The whole game was sluggish, with only 41 points! The SuperSonics lost at home!"
After watching the game, I was about to watch ESPN. I wanted to see how ESPN used Yes to blackmail Kobe Bryant. When I saw this news headline, the expression on my face was confused.
What a familiar title…
This is one person protecting a city!
