Chapter 562: The Final Pattern of the Regular Season, the Explosive West!

"I didn't expect that the Houston Rockets would also suffer two consecutive losses."

"Before they lost to the Lakers and Celtics in a row, they just won a crazy 21-game winning streak."

After returning from a busy road trip in the Eastern Conference, the Leafs and SuperSonics finally have a short break.

For the Sonics, although most of the opponents in this trip to the East are not that strong, this continuous schedule does make people feel very tired.

Even if it is Ye Si, although his mind is normal, his body will be affected.

He has played more than 3,000 games in his dream, and even played dozens of games in one day.

For Ye Si, his spirit has indeed been extremely toughened by these games.

But the body...

After all, those games in the dream are new games that can instantly restore physical condition.

In reality, there is no such black technology for instant recovery.

Even he feels a little bit physically tired now, not to mention his teammates.

In the last game against the Timberwolves, the Sonics almost sang a cover in the gutter.

Fortunately, the Sonics' next game against the Suns is on March 20, four days after the Timberwolves game.

These four days of rest are so important to the Sonics.

Therefore, in order to give the players a better rest time, Nelson still insisted on giving the team two days off during such a tight sprint schedule.

In the sprint stage at the end of the season, even the Rockets, with the thickest lineup in the league, were a little overwhelmed. They rotated the team's three leading players Yao Ming, Roy and Tracy McGrady in this back-to-back game with the Celtics.

The Sonics don't have the foundation of the Rockets. Even if the Rockets rotate Yao Ming, Tracy McGrady and Roy, Artest, Gerald Wallace, Scola, Ariza, Aaron Brooks and Landry Hayesmu The second-line lineup led by Tombo and others could still contend with the Celtics at home for the entire game. In the end, they just lost to the Celtics by 10 points at home like the SuperSonics.

Looking at Yao Ming in a suit on TV,

Ye Si frowned at the scene of Roy and McGrady applauding their teammates.

The Rockets' loss to the Celtics in this game was their second consecutive defeat after a record 21-game winning streak.

The Rockets, who were originally ranked first in the Western Conference, changed their record to 60 wins and 7 losses after this defeat, and their ranking also changed from first in the Western Conference to second in the Western Conference.

This back-to-back game at the Rockets' home court is very important to the situation in the entire Western Conference.

Yesterday, the Rockets were defeated by the Lakers at home. The two teams played two overtimes and were eventually defeated by Kobe Bryant. The impact on the Rockets was indeed huge.

The Rockets never thought that the game against the Lakers would be so intense.

What's more important is that he actually lost after fighting so fiercely.

For the Rockets, as long as they play with all their main players in this game against the Celtics, they will most likely be able to win.

But in the end, Rockets head coach Adelman chose to rest Yao Ming, McGrady and Roy.

This is a completely different style rotation from former Rockets head coach Van Gundy Jr.

As for the Rockets' unexpected two-game losing streak, Ye Si can already be sure that the entire world's public opinion will be exploded the next day!

After the SuperSonics caught up with the Suns some time ago and forced the two levels of the Western Conference teams into one, the eyes of the world are now fixed on the seven powerful teams in the Western Conference.

I have to say that this year's regular season competition among the top seven in the Western Conference is really exciting.

The Rockets' losing streak has pushed this excitement to another level.

Look at the current record of the top seven in the Western Conference.

The Suns and Rockets currently have a record of 60 wins and 7 losses. The Suns are ranked first due to the dominance between the two sides.

The Sonics' current record is 57 wins and 10 losses, ranking third. (The Sonics' record in the previous chapter was wrong. When they lost to the Nuggets in two consecutive losses, the Sonics were 56 wins and 10 losses, and they only reached 57 wins after defeating the Timberwolves.)

The Lakers, who are fourth in the Western Conference, the Spurs, who are fifth in the Western Conference, and the Nuggets, who are sixth in the Western Conference, all three teams now have a record of 55 wins and 12 losses.

The Grizzlies, seventh in the Western Conference, have 50 wins and 16 losses.

With 15 games left in the regular season, the suspense of rankings has changed dramatically!

Not to mention being third in the Western Conference, there are still big changes, even if you are first in the Western Conference, there are still big changes!

Let’s talk about the No. 1 Suns. In their remaining 15 games, they have to play 7 games against the top seven teams in the Western Conference. In addition, there is also one game against the No. 1 Celtics in the Eastern Conference.

Second, the Rockets, in their remaining 15 games, they have to play six of the top seven teams in the Western Conference, and two of these six games are against the nemesis Suns.

The third-place SuperSonics have to play six of the top seven in the Western Conference in the remaining fifteen games. It seems a lot easier, but two of the opponents in these six games are the nemesis Rockets.

As for the Lakers in fourth, the Spurs in fifth, and the Nuggets in sixth, their opponents in the top seven in the Western Conference in the remaining 15 games are 3, 4, and 6 respectively.

The Grizzlies, seventh in the Western Conference, have 16 games left, and 4 games against the top seven opponents in the Western Conference.

Looking at the future schedule of the seven teams currently shown by TNT on TV, Wang Han's face was full of worry.

Yes, of course, knows why TNT plays such a schedule.

This is telling the audience that the Suns, number one in the Western Conference, have the toughest schedule ahead.

As long as they slip up in the strong dialogue, not to mention not being ranked first, they may not be ranked third!

At the same time, it is also telling the audience that the top three teams in the Western Conference will have the worst schedule in the future.

Although the Lakers and Spurs cannot move up to first or second place in the Western Conference, as long as they play well in the remaining games, they have a very good chance of reaching third place, and they can even push the SuperSonics from third to sixth place. superior!

At the same time, this future schedule is also telling the audience that even though the Grizzlies are currently seventh in the Western Conference, they still have a chance to catch up with the sixth-ranked Nuggets in the Western Conference.

The Nuggets' future schedule is much more difficult than the Grizzlies', and the two teams have two direct matches!

Looking at the future schedule on TV, Ye Si clearly knows that as the regular season enters the last month, the situation in the Western Conference regular season has become more tense and exciting.

The competition in the Western Conference was also fierce before, but it was definitely not as fierce as it is now.

In the past, in the West, the sun and rockets were high.

These two teams' top two positions in the Western Conference have never been threatened.

But now, it was suddenly dragged down.

"When Yes took the Seattle SuperSonics and saw the taillights of Fix Sun, the whole world changed!"

"After the victory difference between the SuperSonics and the Suns became two and a half games, the Rockets and Suns faced the top seven teams in the Western Conference. Only the Suns defeated the Spurs at home with difficulty!"

"The pursuit of Yes and the SuperSonics gave the other top seven teams in the Western Conference hope of dragging the Rockets and Suns down!"

"The fighting power that the Lakers, Spurs, Nuggets and Grizzlies are showing now is completely different from the first half of the schedule!"

"And this is why we say that there are seven historical-level teams in the Western Conference this season. Now each of them has the ability to defeat the other!"

"The team that emerges from the Western Conference and ascends to the throne this year will be the most legendary champion in NBA history, the most legendary king of kings!"

Reggie Miller on TV was speaking passionately.

And Ye Si has been thinking.

Do the SuperSonics really have a chance to surpass the Rockets and Suns? Or do they surpass both the Suns and Rockets?

Ye Si really didn't expect that after he took the Supersonics to the east and came back, the west would undergo such big changes.

He never thought his team would have a chance to surpass the Rockets and Suns.

It can only be said that the changes in the current Lakers, Spurs, Nuggets and Grizzlies are indeed huge.

In the past, the Rockets and Suns basically played with their feet when facing these four teams, but now they need to go all out, and even going all out is no guarantee that they can win.

The triangle offense led by Kobe Bryant of the Lakers is getting better and better, and his cooperation with the team is becoming more and more tacit. Kobe, who is not so stubborn, is more and more like Jordan's original demeanor in the triangle offense, hitting when he can, and hitting. That's Jordan. Maybe Kobe doesn't have the strength of Jordan and can't be Jordan for the whole game, but there is no problem being Jordan in 70% or 80% of the games. There is no chance that during that period when he can't be Jordan, hand the ball to Kidd. Let Kidd organize it. Kidd cooperates with Randolph. The power of Turkoglu and Bynum is equally amazing.

The current Lakers are indeed not a little bit better than the Lakers at the beginning of the season or before the All-Star Game. It is definitely not a fluke that this team can overturn the Suns and Rockets after the All-Star Game.

There are also the Spurs. Since Bowen's return, the Spurs' defensive system has become better and better. Even if Ye Si doesn't pay much attention to the Spurs news, he can often hear that Bowen bullied someone again, and the Spurs again Set up a certain team.

Bowen's current athletic ability is indeed incomparable to his peak.

But the Spurs have Duncan, and Duncan is the metronome. With Duncan controlling the rhythm, even Nash can't do it if he wants to play faster in front of the Spurs.

The only one who was able to suppress Duncan in rhythm during the game was Yees in the playoffs last season.

If he can't play fast, there is no way to magnify Bowen's shortcomings of reduced athletic ability. By constantly grinding and grinding in the position, Bowen's current defensive ability is almost invincible. If he wants to play fast in position battles, the only way is to not have the ball. Even with Bowen running around, there are also very few players in the entire NBA, other than Yes, whose off-ball offensive ability can amplify Bowen's lack of athletic ability.

Therefore, Bowen, just by virtue of his defense, ranks him as the fifth-best shooting guard in 2K9 after Kobe, Arenas and Iverson Wade!

Bowen's ability value is higher than Roy's.

This Spurs 'legend' who could dream of playing in games is now a true living legend.

Even the Suns, known as the No. 1 offense in NBA history, failed to score more than 100 points against the Spurs some time ago.

In the eyes of many people, the current Spurs have basically no problems except for their offense.

There are also the Nuggets. After Anthony's efforts, the Nuggets are the team that has changed the most among the top six in the entire Western Conference.

I have been racking up points like crazy recently. In the game against the SuperSonics, I scored 168 points in a single game without overtime. In the game against the Pistons, I scored 146 points in today's game against the Pistons without overtime.

The biggest problem for the Nuggets in the past was that the team's three insiders, Camby, Martin and Nene, did not have the ability to attack inside. The team was indeed strong, but its offensive methods were quite simple, relying heavily on outside touch and the rhythm of the game.

Now that Anthony is willing to work hard in the paint, the Nuggets' offense seems to be all over the place. Under the leadership of Anthony and George Karl, the Nuggets' offense has a posture that even the Suns cannot hold down.

Quite brutal!

There are also the Grizzlies. In order to train Oden in the first half of the season, Gasol and Carter were willing to play for Oden, allowing Oden to improve himself in the game.

What the Grizzlies did to Oden is the same thing he did to Durant.

Durant's growth surprised and satisfied Ye Si.

Oden's growth in the Grizzlies is also quite satisfactory to the Grizzlies.

When Oden's inside power play finally took shape after a season of hard work, Oden and Gasol could finally form a high-low twin tower combination, and the Grizzlies' Big Three could finally use their own advantages and Advantages.

The Grizzlies have finally been recognized by the media from a powerful team to a powerful team with historical strength.

Yeas is now thinking about whether it is possible to surpass the Rockets and Suns in the remaining fifteen games.

Wang Han, who is next to Ye Si, is worried about the SuperSonics' third position in the Western Conference.

Now the sun and rockets are no longer so high.

That's good for the Sonics.

But the pursuers behind are really fierce!

The Sonics then have six games against the top six in the Western Conference, three of which are direct contests with the Nuggets, Spurs, and Lakers.

With how brutal the Spurs, Lakers and Nuggets are right now, these three teams are more dangerous than the Rockets and Suns!

It would not be a surprise if the SuperSonics lose all three games. If they really lose all three games, it will definitely not only be third place in the Western Conference!

Looking at Ye Si, who was frowning next to him, Wang Han sighed in his heart.

Surpassing the Rockets and the Sun is too far away. Keeping third is a big deal!

I'm afraid Ye Si is also worried about the consequences of losing all three games, right?

The third place is gone. Not only the opportunity to advance to the playoffs is lost, but also the opportunity to be MVP in the regular season...

The result of the game between the Rockets and the Celtics caused the Western Conference, which was originally like a powder keg, to completely explode.

And Supersonics is now the center of this explosion point.

The SuperSonics are the only team among the top seven in the Western Conference that can threaten the status of the Suns and Rockets.

The SuperSonics' position is also a position that the next three teams have been coveting.

The Sonics are like a connection point right now!

Now almost the whole world's eyes are fixed on March 20, a game between the SuperSonics and the Suns that may affect the outcome of the Western Conference this season!

The SuperSonics, Suns, and even the entire Western Conference are nervously looking forward to this game.

And before this game starts.

Ye Si's eyes are on the NCAA.

The University of Washington led by Curry lost to the teams led by Afflalo, Westbrook, and Love in the P-10 Conference Championship.

Not just a loss, but a crushing defeat.

Curry's game... collapsed again.
