Chapter 552: Go All Out!
"80 to 76, the game was only 4 points behind, but the victory of this game is already far away from the SuperSonics, and with the feel of yes in this game, even if the game can really go to the end, yes is impossible. Hit the final buzzer-beater!"
At the end of the third quarter, Kenny Smith said with great conviction.
Even Buckley, a die-hard coconut fan, couldn't find any reason to refute Kenny Smith's statement.
The reality is exactly what Kenny Smith said.
Just now, he used his full and helpless voice to tell the world that this game was yes. Before the Lakers surpassed Jordan, he first broke the NBA's single-game record of three non-contacts.
Now it has not been determined whether Yes's mid-range surpasses Jordan.
But one thing that can be concluded is that there is absolutely no dispute that Yes is the top scorer in the history of the league.
As the number one shooter in league history, after the third quarter of a game, there were eight three-pointers. What is this concept?
I'm afraid even a fool knows what this means.
In the NBA, even if players are top-notch shooters, it is absolutely impossible for them to be absent more than three times in a game if they want to.
Hitting does require some luck and touch.
But when it comes to hitting the basketball into the basket, basically top-notch players can do it 99 times out of 100, or even 100 times!
yes's shooting ability is not first-class, but super top!
A super top shooter, he took 11 shots and missed 8 times. What does this mean?
This means that if yes takes 100 shots, he will not touch it 72 times!
Three misses occur once in 100 shots. This is the data of a first-class shooter with an ordinary feel.
There were 72 non-sticks in 100 shots. If we quantify it a little bit, the hand feel is 72 times lower than normal!
And yes's strength is a super top shooter,
It's not a top-notch shooter. In other words, the feel of yes is probably more than 72 times lower than normal.
The low feel is simply outrageous!
Of course, the calculation of the feel cannot be completely calculated based on the number of three non-sticks, but one thing is certain, yes, the feel of this game is indeed impossible to support him in leading the SuperSonics to win in this game, in front of Kobe Complete the ultimate mission.
Yes' direct opponent in this game is Kobe.
One of the strongest defensive players at the second position in the league.
Don't look at the fact that Kobe's defense against yes is not so tight now, and he is trying to let yes take more shots.
But when it comes to the final attack, Kobe's defense will not be strict, at least it won't be what it is now.
With Kobe's current defense, yes's shooting percentage and touch are so low. Can you expect yes to perform better after Kobe's defense tightens up in the end?
Even if Buckley is a die-hard coconut fan and has an extremely high level of trust in Ye Si, he would not dare to have such optimistic expectations.
"This game is difficult..."
Buckley sighed inwardly.
But Jordan in front of the TV had a very elegant smile on his face.
Of course, this smile was instantly taken back by Jordan when the TV screen switched to the TNT studio hall.
"Even if yes didn't hit a mid-range shot in this game, even if it didn't hit a mid-range shot, it doesn't mean yes didn't surpass Michael!"
"Hitting mid-range shots with a 100% shooting rate in seven consecutive games is the condition Michael set to surpass him, but man, do you really think Michael can meet the conditions he set himself?"
"Do not joke!"
"As Michael's closest partner, and as the person who knows Michael best, I can tell you very clearly that Michael will never be able to hit mid-range buzzer beaters in six consecutive games, and he will never be able to hit seven consecutive games as he said. 100% shooting rate in the game from mid-range!”
"I think it's enough for Yes to do what he is now. The mid-range strength that Yes has shown us is enough. He is the only player in NBA history to hit mid-range buzzer-beaters in six consecutive games. This is a mid-range shot. The most glorious performance in NBA history, the most incredible performance in basketball history!"
"Guys, I'm not excusing yes. Before this game started, yes had already surpassed Mai in the middle distance..."
Snap!
Jordan, who was still smiling just now and preparing to enjoy the game, slammed the remote control in his hand on the TV!
It hit the face of Pi Er, who in Jordan's eyes was a 'sharp-mouthed monkey'!
qnmd’s closest partner!
Now you don’t even have to face shame for that little bit of money, right?
You are shameless, I still want it!
Jordan felt that he needed to "disfigure" this shameless guy at the right time.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry, I'm not angry with this villain!"
Jordan reluctantly made himself look less angry, but the flaming anger in his eyes still showed what his truest feelings were now.
Pi Er is making him very unhappy now!
However, judging from Pi Er's current "shameless" words, Pi Er and those who support yes to surpass him are now desperate.
Yes, it is impossible to meet his requirements in this game.
Thinking of this, Jordan felt a lot better.
The game between the SuperSonics and the Lakers was intense.
Since the start of the game, the two teams have always maintained a score difference of less than 5 points.
The Lakers have the advantage and initiative in the game because of their stronger overall strength.
Phil Jackson was very satisfied with the Lakers' performance in this game.
yes He didn't expect that he felt so bad in this game.
At the same time, Kobe's hand felt so bad in this game, and he didn't expect it!
The two of them really blasted each other in this match.
After the two exploded each other like this, it was basically impossible for the Lakers, who had the upper hand in overall strength, to lose.
Of course, in addition to being satisfied with the performance of the Lakers players, Phil Jackson was also quite surprised by the strength displayed by the SuperSonics in this game.
Before the game, he had a relatively correct understanding of the current strength of other SuperSonics players. These people have indeed become very different after being trained by yes in the past two seasons.
When the other SuperSonics players go all out, the gap between Yes and the Nuggets is about 20 points.
But in this game, other Sonics players played three quarters, and the gap with the Lakers was only 8 points!
Of course, the Lakers here don't have Kobe. With a normal Kobe, the SuperSonics should lose by about 12 points in three quarters.
But don't forget, yes in this game is also holding back other Sonics players!
So counting Yes's lagging behind, in fact, the other Sonics players trailed the other Lakers players by 8 points in the three quarters. That is the most real gap between the Sonics and the Lakers without Yes in the three quarters. Throughout the game, the Sonics and the Lakers went all out. The difference should be about 12 points.
This is much worse than the 20 points he predicted!
On the other hand, in the game between the Sonics and the Nuggets, the Sonics players are not really going all out. There is still room for improvement in the state and morale of the Sonics players, such as this game!
In this game, yes's poor touch forced the other SuperSonics players to be in the best shape!
In the game between the SuperSonics and the Nuggets, yes could always provide them with the solution, and they always thought in their hearts that yes could provide the solution.
But in this game, yes's touch, eight times in three quarters, cannot be guaranteed.
"These young people have been trained so well by yes!"
Looking at the players from the two teams who reappeared on the court, Phil Jackson also had a look of admiration on his face.
During the rotation time in the fourth quarter, the players left on the court for the Seattle SuperSonics were Barea, Quentin Richardson, Wilkins, David Lee, and Nick Collison.
This is an all-substitute rotation.
In the NBA, few teams will use full bench rotation time.
Most teams would be willing to add a starter or two to the rotation.
This is especially true when it comes to crucial games.
No one from a non-NBA team can play.
But at such a critical moment, most head coaches are willing to believe in a few core players.
Therefore, in NBA games, the more critical the game is, the fewer players will be rotated in a game.
Although he is not a head coach like D'Antoni who is used to eight-man rotations, in such a game, his rotation is usually limited to nine people.
Therefore, the current Lakers players on the court are Fisher, Vujacic, Luke Walton, Turiaf and Randolph.
Four substitutes plus one starter or three substitutes plus two starters, it depends on the specific situation of the game.
Randolph was made uncomfortable by the help defense of Millsap and Yes in this game.
In the starting time, Randolph did not play that much. Phil Jackson deliberately allocated Randolph's time to the bench to play David Lee or Seattle SuperSonics backup center Kwame Brown.
During the rotation in the second quarter, Nelson used Kwame Brown to defend Randolph to poor effect.
He is quite familiar with what kind of player Kwame Brown is.
This player's hardware facilities are quite good, but there are big problems with his football IQ and personality.
He was so clumsy in front of Randolph!
Randolph is a very agile player, extremely clever and cunning, and his skills are quite comprehensive. Randolph likes to play traditional inside players like Kwame Brown.
On the contrary, it is not easy to play against a less traditional insider like Millsap.
Kwame Brown's defensive effect on Randolph was not that good in the second quarter, so Nelson replaced Nick Collison in the fourth quarter.
Nick Collison's IQ is enough. He is a very smart player with online IQ and personality, but he does not have enough physical fitness.
If you combine Nick Collison's IQ, football quotient, and personality with Kwame Brown's physical fitness, it can definitely make Randolph uncomfortable.
As for using them separately like now, there will be no effect.
Of course, although Kwame Brown and Nick Collison can't stop Randolph when used separately.
But it is quite enviable for the Sonics to have such two completely different options at the backup center position.
The Sonics are not only getting stronger now, but their starting lineup has also slowly improved.
Kwame Brown and Collison.
sessions and barea
Tucker and David Lee
Tucker and Quentin Richardson
Wilkins and Tucker.
There are two players to choose from at almost every position with completely different playing styles.
The breadth of the Sonics' bench lineup may not even be matched by the Rockets.
Now the SuperSonics' substitute players are lacking in depth.
And with the SuperSonics' incredible trust in them, their strength and depth will increase sooner or later.
The Seattle SuperSonics are really on the right path now under the leadership of Yes.
"Do you believe that yes will see the return of the king in this game?!"
"Even if yes misses all the first 100 shots, I believe he can hit the final buzzer!"
"Yes is the God of ultimate kill who has never failed!"
"Guys, now that we have persisted for three quarters, all we need to do now is to hand the final chance to yes!"
"As long as we persist for one more quarter and 11 minutes and 59 seconds, we will see a miracle happen!"
"Guys, can you hold on?!"
"able!"
"Guys, I don't know about offense. I will guard all the results for you from behind!"
Randolph, leave it to me!
After high-fiving all the players on the court, Nick Collison, the team's vice-captain, took the basketball from the referee's hands and sent the baseline ball to Barea.
This is his first appearance in this game, and he is now facing the man who looks like O'Neal in tonight's rotation, Zach Randolph!
In front of Randolph, he looked so fragile and vulnerable.
No matter how fragile and vulnerable he is, he is still a teammate of yes!
In front of fairy tales, he and his teammates are also fairy tales!
The starting teammates persisted for three quarters exhausted, and now everyone seems to be overdrawn.
And now, it's their turn!
Now, it's their fairy tale time!
"These Seattle SuperSonics bench players are so mean!"
"It's really fierce!"
In the commentary box, Barkley nodded blankly.
After Barea broke through Fisher as if nothing, he went inside and faced the two long men of the Lakers and made a wonderful throw.
This style of play is also brave!
"However, the gap in strength between the two teams cannot be smoothed out by the Brave."
Kenny Smith was not aimless, because Barea was so brave in the second quarter.
But all of them were suppressed by Randolph!
This time, I'm afraid the same will be true!
Kwame Brown was replaced by Nick Collison, and it might be even worse!
It's not that Kenny Smith looks down on Nick Collison, it's actually that Nick Collison in front of Randolph is like Chris Webber standing in front of O'Neal at his peak.
The SuperSonics fans at the scene couldn't even bear to look at Nick Collison's appearance behind Randolph.
"too weak!"
Snap!
Randolph dribbled the ball, flicked his left hand, sat Nick Collison behind him away, and was ready to dunk!
However, just as Randolph was about to dunk, the referee Bavetta next to him blew his whistle.
"Offensive foul?!"
"Randolph threw an elbow and hit Collison in the face!"
Looking at the replay on the big screen, the reporters in the media box, the SuperSonics fans at the scene, and even the players on both sides of the field were stunned!
"It was intentional. Nick Collison put his face up to it on purpose!"
Is this guy crazy? !
Randolph looked up at the big screen and was dumbfounded!
It was his first time meeting such a player on the court!
Not to mention Randolph, even Phil Jackson sitting in the audience was stunned.
According to theory, both Kwame Brown and Nick Collison are given away in front of Randolph.
But what has never happened in theory is that no one will tell you that the defensive player behind you can flow to the floor like this!
According to Phil Jackson's prediction, the Lakers can be slightly ahead of the SuperSonics rotation in the fourth quarter.
But after only three rounds in the fourth quarter, the Seattle SuperSonics tied the score at 80 with the help of Barea's four points and Nick Collison's offensive foul!
Seeing Fisher being easily beaten twice by Barea on the court, Phil Jackson looked ugly.
If the Lakers still have Conroy, Barea will never be able to enjoy it like a fish in water!
It's just that Conroy has been taken away by Fisher Dragon...
The Lakers' rotation was surprised by the Sonics' rotation.
But soon, the Lakers' rotation came back to their senses.
Mainly because Randolph came to his senses.
Collison is such a thief, he needs to consider being cheated on.
In order to avoid being cheated, Randolph can't move so much. If the moves are not so big, the aggressiveness of the offense will decrease, and of course it will also decrease a little under dominance.
The Lakers originally had a dominant rotation, but because Randolph's dominance has declined slightly, the two teams are actually inseparable in the rotation.
When the starting players such as Yes and Kobe came on the field, the score on the field had changed from four points behind the Sonics to 91 to 91!
The two teams were tied with seven minutes left in the game!
"Yes, we tried our best..."
"I know."
Each of these teammates around him tried their best...
Now...it's his turn.
