Chapter 412 Everyone Is Pippen!
The two road wins in California brought the Sonics to a 3-1 record.
The Supersonics' opening results are amazing.
According to the predictions of many experts before the start of the season, the Sonics' record in the first four games of the new season is more likely to be 1 win and 3 losses.
The SuperSonics should have lost the two games because of Yesi's 20-of-20 god-level performance and defeated the Nuggets, and because of the accidental injury of the Clippers' head player Brand, they beat the Clippers lightly.
After a short period of amazement, these people found that the current record of the Sonics is still acceptable.
A super god, an unexpected profit.
If it is only analyzed from this aspect, it is of course acceptable.
The acceptable premise is, does the Supersonic have the ability and strength to hold the unexpected profit firmly in their hands?
Do the Supersonics have that strength after Durant starts?
You know, Durant's shots in these four regular season games of the Sonics are higher than those in the preseason!
It stands to reason that the more Durant takes shots, the weaker the Sonics will be.
The Sonics in the regular season should be a little weaker than the Sonics in the preseason.
The Sonics in the preseason were considered to be inferior to teams like the Timberwolves and Kings, and now they are even weaker!
If this is the case, the current record of the Sonics is really difficult to accept.
He took 30+ shots in each of the four games, and the game with the highest shot reached an astonishing 36 times.
The average number of shots per game in the four games is an astonishing 33.5 times, but they can only hit 11.5 goals per game, and the shooting percentage is an extremely low 34%.
In terms of Durant's shots and hits, shouldn't the Sonics be weaker than they were in the preseason?
Why does it seem that the Sonics seem to be stronger than last season, let alone compared with the preseason.
Soon, Quan Mei's eyes focused on Ye Si.
20 for 20, 9 for 12, 12 for 15, 11 for 13.
In the four games, he averaged 15 shots per game, but averaged 13 goals per game.
The shooting percentage is as high as 87%!
When they saw the number of shots and hit rate of Ye Si, those expert reporters who couldn't understand why the Sonics were so successful finally understood.
Durant averaged 33.5 shots per game and hit 11.5 goals per game.
Yes averaged 13 shots per game on 15 attempts per game.
The two add up to average 48.5 times per game and hit 24.5 goals per game.
The hit rate is as high as 50.5%!
When a team's shooting guards and small forwards can still shoot more than 50% of the shots in the case of more than 40 shots, such a record can certainly be explained!
Not to mention the terrifying 48.5 shots, even if the shooting rate is over 50%, in the current NBA, only the Nash + Marion combination of the Suns can do it!
But Nash only took 19 shots in a game, while Marion only took 18 shots. The combined number of shots of the two was only 37 times. Bell's average of 10 shots per game was needed to barely reach Durant. and Yes's shot count.
But if you add Bell, Nash, the combination of Marion and Bell's shooting rate will not reach more than 50%!
In other words, from the perspective of scoring, the Yes+Durant combination that was crazily complained after the start of the game is the NBA's first outside combination? !
The combination of Yes and Durant is the NBA's current No. 1 perimeter combination? !
After analyzing for most of the day and reaching such a conclusion, media experts across the United States were really dumbfounded.
For a moment, a word came to mind in everyone's mind.
"I scored 83 points with Kobe!"
Yes, with a player like Durant, can he become the NBA's No. 1 perimeter combination? !
This is too amazing, right?
Soon, these unbelievable American media focused their attention on Jordan and Pippen, the first outside combination in NBA history.
When Jordan and Pippen were together, the two averaged over 40 shots per game, and the two also averaged over 50% of their shots.
But these expert media were surprised to find that neither Jordan nor Pippen had a season in which they combined 40+ shots and shot more than 50% in their careers!
Everyone knows that the combination of Jordan and Pippen is the number one outside combination in history, not just relying on scoring.
But if you only analyze it from the point of view of scoring, the combination of Yes and Durant is actually the number one outside scoring combination in history!
This conclusion is simply disastrous!
"Yes used his strength to forcibly bring Durant into Pippen!"
"No wonder Yes is so capricious in this year's draft, so it doesn't matter, because Yes really doesn't matter, it really doesn't matter who is his Pippen, even players like Durant can be forcibly brought by him Become Pippen, as long as Yes's strength reaches, even O'Neill's grandma can be forcibly brought into Pippen by him!"
"For Yes, as he grows, he doesn't need Pippen at all, or for him, everyone can be his Pippen!"
"As long as you are as shameless as Durant, as long as you can accept the alms and gifts of Yes calmly, you can become 'Pippen'!"
Anyone can be Pippen!
This is the second day after the game between the Sonics and the Kings, and the front page of USA Today.
This title is sensational!
Everyone is Pippen? !
When did Pippen become so cheap?
This is the top five small forwards in NBA history!
But after reading this analysis report by USA Today, the world was really in an uproar for a while.
"If there is a player with Pippen's defense and Pippen's organizational ability, even if his offensive ability is zero, he can be brought into the real Pippen by Yes!"
"The real Pippen? No, that's not Pippen, that's Jordan!"
"Pippen can't come to the position of the scoring leader, and now Durant is the scoring leader!"
"If these assumptions are true, it's a combination of Jordan + Jordan!"
"It is said that the standard of NBA regular season MVP is to make teammates better, but can you make your teammates become Jordan?!"
"As long as the Supersonics' record is in the top four in the Western Conference this year, unless there is some miracle, there is no suspense for Yes to be the MVP of the regular season!"
Everyone is Pippen?
Holding the USA Today newspaper in his hand, Ye Si was also stunned to read it.
Reasonable and convincing.
No wonder this report can stir up the whole world.
To be honest, Ye Si was quite surprised when he saw this report.
Mainly surprised by Durant's data analysis.
Before, Ye Si only knew that Durant's current strength is still very average, and his shooting percentage is not very good.
Durant's shooting rate is very low, 34% shooting rate, which is the bottom of the iron in the NBA.
It can be seen that this newspaper's analysis of Durant's shooting percentage.
Durant's shooting percentage is a little low, but it is extremely stable.
What does stability mean?
That is to say, he is very iron, but iron has a lower limit!
This is Yeth's own conclusion based on Durant's analysis data.
USA Today's conclusion is that no matter how accurate Durant is, there is an upper limit to his accuracy. Durant's accuracy is iron for anyone in the league.
Regardless of whether it is iron with a lower limit or accurate with an upper limit, this trait is quite rare!
34% on 10 shots
Still hit 34% of 20 shots
Still hit 34% of 30 shots
No matter how you shoot, how many times you shoot, whether it is the preseason or the regular season, no matter how you play, you will end up with a 34% shooting rate.
The stability of this shooting and scoring is now used by USA Today to black Durant's iron.
But what if, one day, Durant hits 50% of his shots?
No matter what game, no matter what kind of opponent you face, you can always have a 50% shooting rate in the end. How terrible is that?
Ye Si chose Durant in the first place, mainly because of Durant's talent for taking over the pot.
Now he suddenly discovered that Durant's traits were far more interesting than he had imagined.
He had already overestimated Durant before, but now he found that he still underestimated Durant's potential.
Such a guess made Ye Si very excited!
Now the whole world is still full of storms stirred up by the report of USA TODAY.
Yeth and the Sonics are now setting their sights on the next game.
After playing the Clippers and the Kings in California, the Sonics will return home.
The three games the Sonics returned to the home court faced strong teams, the Grizzlies, the Jazz and the Pistons.
On November 8, 2007, the Seattle SuperSonics played against the Memphis Grizzlies at home.
The Grizzlies are now the upstarts in the NBA.
It's also a brand new team.
It's not just cores like Oden and Carter that are new.
Head coach Stotts is also new.
Jerry West built such a team, it is naturally impossible to use the original old coach.
As a brand new team from top to bottom, the Grizzlies have performed quite well this season.
Not to mention the summer league and preseason.
In the regular season, the opponents in front of the Grizzlies are the Spurs, Pacers, Trail Blazers, and Jazz.
Except for the loss to the Spurs in the first game, the next three games were all victorious.
Especially in the first game against the Jazz in the Northwest road trip yesterday, the Grizzlies won quite convincingly.
The Jazz are not underdogs like the Pacers and Trail Blazers. They are a veteran team, and have even been a touchstone for powerful and ordinary teams in the past.
The Jazz is a very stable and strong team, and it is also a very difficult team to beat. Beating the Jazz means that the strength of this team has been tested.
What's more, the Grizzlies' defeat of the Jazz is not an ordinary defeat.
The combination of No. 1 pick Oden and Pau Gasol directly beat the combination of Okur and Boozer of the Jazz in Salt Lake City.
The combination of Okur and Boozer is the most disgusting inside combination in the league.
The absolute strength of the two is not top-notch, but both of them can get inside and can also pull out to shoot.
Can you imagine the two insiders pulling out for a while, I pull out for a while, you pull the opponent's center for a while, and I pull the opponent's power forward for a while?
It can be said that this is an extreme kite-flying style of play. In the current era when traditional centers are still the dominant center forward, these two men are the traditional center headed by Yao Ming, a nightmare for traditional insiders.
Faced with such a nightmare combination, Oden and Gasol dominated the entire court.
Both Oden and Gasol can defend. Not only can they defend, but they can also stay at the basket to help defend.
Oden and Gasol smothered Okur and Boozer.
In addition, the Jazz's point guard Deron Williamson has no physical advantage when facing the Grizzlies' point guard Carter.
In the focus of this strong dialogue, the Grizzlies slaughtered the Jazz by 20 points 108 to 88!
In the NBA, it is almost impossible to kill the Jazz led by Jerry Sloan.
After slaughtering the Jazz in the away game, the Grizzlies' strength rating is constantly rising!
Now the top two in the West are recognized as the Suns and Rockets, and the third is inconclusive. The Nuggets, the Lakers and the Grizzlies are now considered to have the third strength in the West.
This game with the Grizzlies is very important, whoever wins will be the third in the West.
In addition to considering the record, this is still a battle between Oden and Durant for the No. 2 pick.
For Durant's "brilliant" in the Sonics, Oden's mood is quite complicated.
Originally, the position next to the teacher should belong to him!
Oden doesn't think he's a stats guy.
Although his stats are not as 'defying' as Durant, they are not bad.
What's more, in the Grizzlies, he also had a very happy life.
From the management to his teammates, down to the fans, they all treat him with that kind of pampering attitude.
In order to better exercise his various talents, the Grizzlies blurred the point guard.
Carter is the Grizzlies' point guard.
No matter how good a point guard is, it is their instinct to stick to the ball. It is very uncomfortable for a guard to stick to the ball, especially for an inside line like him who needs training and growth in all aspects.
If the Grizzlies point guard is put on a dribbling guard, although the problem of sticking the ball is solved, the dribbling guard does not have good enough passing ability.
He still needs someone to pass the ball.
In the end, the team's general manager Jerry West made the decision to let Carter be the team's point guard.
It really flatters Oden to have a superstar like Carter who has been a leading role in the NBA act as his nanny.
Carter's willingness to be his nanny moved him even more.
He likes the current atmosphere of the Grizzlies.
But even so, playing next to the teacher is still his dream and pursuit.
Seeing this dream and pursuit getting farther and farther away from him, Auden still felt a little uncomfortable.
This kind of discomfort cannot be resolved by the summer league or preseason abuse of Durant.
On November 8th, the key arena was full of voices and crowns!
Yes, James and Oden are the three chosen sons recognized by the American media.
This game between the Sonics and the Grizzlies is almost equivalent to the Sonics and the Cavaliers, Yes vs. James!
This is for the media, and this game is what they consider the most important game of the season.
For Durant, this game is also quite important.
He was abused all the way from the summer league before, and Oden was the one who abused him the most!
Now he is already the scoring leader, so what are you waiting for, revenge!
It can't be expensive to be the scoring leader, every game is bombed, right?
Of course, in this game, apart from Oden and Durant being full of sparks when they looked at each other at the beginning, Ye Si and Carter's eyes also met.
Especially Carter.
Standing opposite is the person who once smashed his dream and broke up his team!
Carter's aura is amazing now, and his eyes are fixed on Ye Si.
Yes, of course, noticed it too.
But after looking at Carter, Ye Si turned his gaze back to Durant.
Durant's mission is not yet complete, and it is still far away.
Go for the win or continue the mission?
Jess glanced at Durant who was on TV with Oden.
continue!
