Chapter 561 Durant Doubts Life

In this game between the SuperSonics and the Celtics, the Celtics fans and Celtics players at the scene were very satisfied.

Got what they wanted in a tight contest.

For Ye Si, he was also satisfied with this game.

It doesn't feel good to lose.

But the current Seattle SuperSonics are indeed no match for the Celtics.

Even if he limits Ray Allen to death, he still won't be able to make up for the overall strength gap between the SuperSonics and Celtics.

The reason why the Celtics are able to take advantage of the team's overall advantages in front of the SuperSonics better than other strong teams such as the Rockets and Suns is because of Ray Allen.

Don't look at Ray Allen, who makes him uncomfortable in almost every game.

But Ray Allen is still one of the most important members of the Celtics' Big Three, perhaps even more important than Pierce.

Ray Allen's strength seems to be inferior to Ye Si's in all aspects.

But there is no doubt that Ray Allen's off-ball movement and his shooting skills are definitely second only to Ye Si in the current NBA.

In the entire SuperSonics, the only player who can defend Ray Allen is Yes.

Rondo is too short, Durant is too easily distracted without the ball, Tucker is too slow, and Wilkins and Quentin Richardson are not defensive enough.

In the entire SuperSonics, the only player who can defend Ray Allen is Yes.

Not to mention defense, the only player who can limit Ray Allen is Yes.

If Yes doesn't guard Ray Allen, he'll be beaten to death by Ray Allen's explosion.

In this season's All-Star Game, Ray Allen scored 28 points in 18 minutes!

This is the power of Ray Allen when he goes all out. In the All-Star game, because the Western Conference All-Stars didn't try their best, no one could match up with Ray Allen, so Ray Allen performed like this.

This is a performance that can definitely kill someone!

In the Celts,

Pierce is the strongest in singles, Garnett is the most effective, and Ray Allen is the most lethal!

The Celtics' defense is so strong now. If Ray Allen is still allowed to play lethal, then the SuperSonics will collapse.

Therefore, when the SuperSonics faced the Celtics, Ye Si could only appear next to Ray Allen no matter what.

Definitely not give Ray Allen any chance.

The Sonics cannot afford the consequences of Ray Allen's explosion.

If Ray Allen breaks out, the Sonics will definitely lose.

In this case, Yeos must be inseparable from Ray Allen.

And Ray Allen's offensive method made Ye Si uncomfortable.

Ray Allen is not Kobe or Pierce. He will not appear in a certain area. Ray Allen will run and keep running.

This means that Ye Si must also keep running with him. How can Ye Si defend and help his teammates during the constant running?

What's more, when chasing Ray Allen, he has to be distracted to help defend. Is this giving away Ray Allen's shooting opportunity in vain?

Ye Si knows very well that his biggest role on the defensive end is not as a single defense point, but as an assisting defense point.

With his experience, his physical fitness, and his defensive awareness, he can give his teammates the greatest help.

Even if he can't be used as a help defense point, if Ye Si is guarding a single player like Kobe Bryant alone, he can still be distracted and help defend. Combining single and assist defense, after all, Kobe is standing there, and after finishing the help defense, he can just run back. , anyway, his speed is fast, the maximum double speed can reach 96.

But when facing Ray Allen, if he helped defend a little bit, I'm afraid all Ray Allen's people were gone.

With Ray Allen, he can only focus all his attention on Ray Allen.

This is a waste of his defensive prowess.

And it’s not just one or two points that are wasted.

This is on the defensive end.

On the offensive end, Ray Allen is also not that easy to deal with.

Ray Allen's defensive accuracy is very good.

His defense is indeed not as strong as Kobe's.

But he can always appear in front of you.

Ray Allen's appearance is completely different from Bowen O'Neal's appearance.

Ray Allen's defensive accuracy coupled with his own good defensive ability have made him one of the defensive players that the Leafs are least willing to face in the entire league.

Perhaps second only to James and on par with Kobe.

But James is surrounded by O'Neal, and Ray Allen is not surrounded by O'Neal, but by Garnett!

It may be strange to say that Ray Allen may be the five-star star with the greatest advantage in the league.

But similarly, Ray Allen is also the five-star star that Ye Si least wants to encounter.

Playing against Ray Allen is really not worth it!

With no helpers to help defend Ray Allen, all of Ye's strengths are locked tightly by Ray Allen, and there is no way for him to overflow to his teammates.

If the Seattle SuperSonics want to defeat the Boston Celtics, they must rely on the performance of their teammates when facing the Celtics.

As long as the advantage he gets from Ray Allen is greater than the advantage other Celtics players get from other Sonics players, he can win with the Sonics.

However, it is obvious that judging from the two games this season, his advantage over Ray Allen cannot make up for the disadvantages of other Sonics players in facing other Celtics players.

So the Sonics ended up losing both games.

Fortunately, although this game was lost, the loss was not that ugly.

The progress of his teammates can be said to be visible to the naked eye.

Whether it was Rondo, who made zero of eight shots in the last meeting between the two teams, or Milicic, who was defeated by Garnett and Perkins, they all performed well in this game.

In the last game, Durant made 12 of 36 shots and made 24 crazy shots. In this game, his data also became 10 of 26 shots, and the amount of shots was much less.

What's more, Durant in this game is no longer an ordinary big turret, but an all-around scorer who can attack with the ball and attack comprehensively.

However, whether it is Durant who is an all-around scorer or Durant who is a turret, it is not easy to play against Tony Allen.

Tony Allen's defensive aggression is too strong.

And unlike ordinary defensive players, although Tony Allen's defensive aggressiveness is strong, his movements are very clean and he rarely commits fouls.

This is uncomfortable.

Durant even almost got into a fight with Tony Allen in this game.

Durant was really beaten by Tony Allen in this game.

However, no matter how anxious Durant is, his strength just cannot defeat Tony Allen.

In this case, Durant had no place to vent his emotions, and in the end, of course, he almost got entangled with Tony Allen and started a fight on the court.

Durant's mood in this game was very wrong.

Ye Si could feel this, and the feeling of anxiety was very strong.

Ye Si is also very familiar with this feeling of anxiety.

This is the anxiety of reaching the limit of strength.

Ye Si had felt this way before.

After his potential was used up, the initial period was as difficult as Durant's.

It's just that he is different from Durant.

His potential at that time was really used up.

As for Durant, it's not that he has used up his potential, but that he has improved too quickly in a short period of time. There is no time to polish and there is no way to go further.

Judging from Ye's sensitivity to player attributes.

Now Durant's scoring attributes have indeed reached a bottleneck.

Three-pointers, mid-range shots, close shots, long shots, layups... With these offensive attributes, Durant may now be in the top 80s.

What Durant needs now is to seriously polish each of his offensive skills and polish his already top-notch offensive skills to the top.

Yess has continued to mature Durant this season, but there are some things that Yesi cannot mature.

For example, in this regard, if Durant doesn't understand himself, it will be useless no matter how much ball rights and shot opportunities he gives Durant on the court.

Of course, the prerequisite for Durant to figure these things out is that he needs to give him these shooting opportunities and ball rights.

Under his maturation, Durant is now basically equivalent to a young player who has played two seasons.

A player's first two years are considered the two years of a rookie. Durant in this game completely announced that his rookie period is over.

Now he has entered the door that has opened up the rookie stage and reached maturity.

Once this door is opened, Durant can become a top player and take off.

In the NBA, many experts and media say that young players need to wait for three years. This is why.

The players who can take off in the third year are the players with superstar potential!

Otherwise, an All-Star at best.

Yeas doesn't know if Durant would have been able to take off in his third year if he hadn't met him.

Judging from Durant's five-star potential, Durant will definitely be able to take off in the third year. As for how high he can take off, I don't know.

In other words, if Durant plays the game step by step for three years, he will easily open the door.

However, because of him, Durant only spent one season and two seasons. Durant, who had no precipitation and no tempering, encountered obstacles when he was about to open the door.

Durant really wants to continue to improve now, he wants to improve so much now!

This game against the Celtics made him very clear that if he could not improve, he and yes would not be able to defeat the Celtics!

If you can't beat the Celtics, you can't win the championship!

He doesn't want to disappoint yes!

Yes, I said it, I hope to win the championship trophy with him!

He clearly knows how ordinary a player he is.

He is afraid of his own ordinaryness.

He was afraid that one day he would no longer be able to make progress.

When the day comes when he can no longer make progress, it will be a nightmare for him!

If he cannot bring a championship to yes and is not qualified to be Pippen beside yes, he will choose to leave yes even if yes is willing to take him in.

Many people are watching the joke and hope that he, Millsap and Rondo will limit Yes' future.

Of course he had such worries.

The reason why he has never cared about it is because he has been improving. He knows that he is not worthy of competing for the championship with yes now, but as long as he can keep improving, he will one day be able to be by yes' side and be with him. Teammates who win championships.

This is also the reason why he still maintains a normal state of mind despite the pressure of so much public opinion.

But now...

He really didn't expect that he would reach a bottleneck period where his strength could not improve so quickly.

Anger, anxiety, restlessness, pain...

Now Durant feels like the negative emotions in his heart are exploding.

There is always a day when people reach their limits.

But he doesn't want to reach his limit now!

He still wants to make progress!

But……

Just when Durant was covering his head with a towel and his angry eyes were red, a familiar yet gentle figure rang in his ears.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. You are walking too fast now and all the energy you have saved has been exhausted. At this time, you might as well stop and take a look at some of the other scenery that you have missed while walking so fast. Wait for you to pick up the other scenery that you have missed. When you get up, your energy will be full again."

"When the time comes, with a slight step, you can see a different world again."

yes?

Taking the towel off his head and looking at the familiar figure with a gentle smile on his face, Durant was stunned for a moment and clenched his fists fiercely.

Does he still deserve the trust of yes now that his potential has been exhausted?

Or……

Stop and look at the scenery you missed, and then step out again after accumulating some information...

Could it be? !

The extremely angry Durant now had the pain on his face replaced by shock.

"Now you might as well polish your defensive and organizational skills first, and let other things take their own course."

Looking at the still sunny smile, the expression on Durant's face changed from stunned to moved.

yes still believes that I still have potential!

yes still believes that I can continue to grow with him!

yes still believes that I can be Pippen next to his championship trophy!

Ye Si doesn't know what Durant, whose expression is constantly changing, is thinking in his mind.

To him, Durant is a treasure boy.

How could such a treasure boy's treasure be exhausted now?

Besides, he was the only person in the whole world who had experienced the magnitude of the treasure this boy contained.

cut!

Rondo, who had been looking at Ye Si and Durant from the corner of his eye, looked disdainful.

This coquettish bitch has done everything she can to attract yes!

Losing to the Celtics in Boston ended the Seattle SuperSonics' 13-game winning streak.

The Celtics are the Sonics' last opponent on this consecutive Eastern Conference road trip.

After losing to the Celtics, Yeas also took the team back to the West.

On March 14, 2008, the Seattle SuperSonics' first game after returning to the Western Conference was an away game against the Nuggets, currently sixth in the Western Conference.

146 to 168!

There was no overtime in this game. In this game, the two teams scored a total of 314 points in a normal 48 minutes!

The Nuggets were in really good shape in this game.

It was so good that with the help of Billups and Hamilton, Yease couldn't control the game.

After losing to the Nuggets, the Nuggets, who suffered two consecutive defeats in the away game, now have a record of 57 wins and 10 losses.

After the game between the SuperSonics and the Nuggets, the already fierce battle for ranking in the Western Conference playoffs became even more intense!

The Sonics are now only two games away from the Nuggets, Spurs, and Lakers, and they seem to be in danger.

It wasn't until March 16 that the Sonics returned home and defeated the Timberwolves 114-106, stabilizing their losing streak.
