Chapter 625: The Swept Prodigy and the Chubby Little Boy Who Refuses to Chew
The Seattle SuperSonics defeated the Rockets in Game 2 at home.
The victory was brought about by rotating Durant and all the players on the team's crazy singles in the previous game and consuming the Rockets.
In order to win this game, Yes suffered more attacks from the Rockets in the game when Durant was rotated.
In order to give Durant enough rest time, Yes and other Seattle SuperSonics players bear the burden when Durant is no longer available.
Especially Yes!
Even though they were wildly attacked by other Sonics players, the Rockets were not willing to defeat the Sonics quickly in order to reduce the risk of injury. Instead, they kept grinding out the entire game with the Sonics.
Every game must put enough pressure on Yes, and every game must give Yes enough consumption.
In order to achieve this goal, the Rockets are even willing to pay the price for this strategic goal in the fourth game.
Now that the four games between the SuperSonics and Rockets have been played, the big score between the two teams is now 2 to 2. This big score is the same as the big score in the first four games between the Lakers and Rockets, and the Thunder and Rockets.
And what is the final big score between the Lakers and Rockets, Thunder and Rockets?
4 to 2!
"The Houston Rockets are finally ready to harvest!"
After Seattle won the fourth game in this way, public opinion in the United States did not even have any optimism about the Sonics because of this victory.
Even after the fourth game between the Sonics and the Rockets, ESPN re-voted every game in the series between the Sonics and the Rockets and the advancement rate changed again.
After the fourth game, when the SuperSonics tied the Rockets 2-2, 97% of experts believed that the Rockets could advance!
That is to say, the Seattle SuperSonics won the game, but the final promotion rate dropped, and it dropped to a terrifyingly low value of 3%.
You know, the 3% promotion probability is infinitely equivalent to the 2% before the series started.
For this series, basically in the eyes of these ESPN experts, it is an announcement that the Rockets have advanced.
It’s finally time to start harvesting in Houston!
This is what USA Today said after the game.
This comment from USA Today can almost be said to tell the truth that everyone sees with their own eyes.
After the fourth game between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Rockets, the whole world saw how tired Durant and Yes were in this game.
Yes is a famous physical maniac in the NBA, a strong man in the NBA who can run marathons.
But another physical maniac in the NBA, Kobe Bryant, was so consumed by the Rockets that he could only withstand four games and collapsed in the fifth.
And even if Yes is physically stronger than Kobe? How many games can he last?
Don't forget, Yes received more defensive pressure than Kobe in this series.
Obviously, Yes can no longer stand it.
On the other side, after taking a rest, Durant was still a little unsteady and was helped off the field at the end of the fourth game. This can be seen from the side as to how much the Rockets consumed Yes and Durant. .
The Seattle SuperSonics have five players, but in a defensive system with unlimited singles like the Rockets, the other three players who do not have strong singles ability will not be enough in the game.
To put it simply, the Rockets' tactical system is a tactical system in which four of them beat two of their opponents.
The tactical system formed by four players who are over 1.98 meters tall and can reach All-Star level in offense and defense and can go 1-3 or 1-4 is too scary.
So when the world saw Durant almost collapsed in the fourth game, no one would think that Yes was responsible for Yes's loss in this series.
Durant suffered much less pressure on both offense and defense than Yes!
"Yes is the number one physical player in the NBA, and he deserves it!"
"If the Sonics can't find a third singles superstar, if the Sonics can't break the Rockets' wolf-pack tactics, and are still being beaten by the Rockets, we can now announce the fourth game between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Houston Rockets. The victory is the victory of the Sonics' last game!"
"Although it would be cruel for Yes and Coconut Fans to say this, it is a fact. The final big score of this series is 4 to 2!"
As the No. 1 Coconuts star, Houston Chronicle reporter Jonathan Fagan is most widely recognized for some words he wrote in his personal column the day after the game.
No matter what the composition of this person is.
Now what he said is indeed very reasonable.
"Yes is a great player. You always say that he slapped me in the face every day in the past. I admit it, but this time, I support the statement of a senior Rockets official. There is only one MVP in the world in this year's NBA!"
"Yes, the slogan "There is only one MVP" shouted by Rockets fans at home shocked the world. It was first shouted by a certain Rockets executive. I very much agree with some of his ideas. There can be tied MVPs this year. This year's NBA It’s the year of the Rockets. If the NBA needs a perfect Rockets year, if the NBA needs a perfect protagonist, they should give the regular season MVPs to Yao Ming, McGrady and Roy. At the same time, they should give the Finals MVPs to Yao Ming and McGrady. Roy three."
"I've always said that in the Rockets, they are equally important."
Jonathan Fagan is not only the number one player in the league, but also the creator of the Sanders Index. He is also the rare Yao Hei, Yi Hei and Sun Hei in the league.
To put it simply, he is one of the few yellow and black people in the United States.
With the situation between the Rockets and the SuperSonics, apart from the Rockets fans in Houston, the happiest people now are probably the black media and yellow and black media.
For them, if Yao Ming performs badly in this series, that would be perfect.
It's a pity that Yao Ming performed very well in this series.
The Rockets' top four outsiders McGrady, Artest, Roy and Ariza as well as power forward Gerald Wallace have to deal with Yes and Durant on both offense and defense. This series has consumed a lot of energy.
"The strength of Yes and Durant is shocking!"
This is what Adelman said publicly countless times during the four games of this series.
"The consumption we incurred against Yes was much greater than the consumption we incurred against Kobe, and the same was true for Durant."
Adelman is a straightforward person, but his straightforwardness may make a Los Angeles musician very unhappy.
Although the musician will feel that this is indeed true at this time.
After each game, the Rockets' top five players didn't seem to feel so well.
They made Yes uncomfortable, and Yes made them uncomfortable.
It can be said that the reason why they can do Yes so frantically in every game is because of the advantages created by the Rockets' bench and Yao Ming for them.
The same was true for the Rockets in the last round against the Lakers. In the first four games, the Rockets also had problems offensively in order to frantically consume Kobe and Randolph, but in the end it was Yao Ming and the Rockets' crazy substitutes who stabilized the situation.
So, from here you can see how sinister Fagan’s words are.
Anyone who is not blind can see that Yao Ming played an almost pillar-like role on both offense and defense in this year's playoffs, but Fagan actually said that Yao Ming and McGrady Roy shared the FMVP.
This guy also has a face.
Of course, Yao Ming's contribution cannot be blamed. If it could be, Fagan would definitely think that sharing between Tracy McGrady and Roy would be the best.
After the fourth game between the Rockets and SuperSonics, the league's black media went into a frenzy.
Coconut flour is really having a hard time right now.
But the most uncomfortable group right now is definitely not coconut flour.
Most coconut fans actually didn't expect the Sonics to defeat the Rockets and advance.
How brave do you have to be to think that the Sonics can defeat the Rockets?
It can be said that the SuperSonics and Rockets have reached this level, and they are already very satisfied.
Especially the fourth game, when Durant returned, and the third game, when the whole team went crazy for Yes. It can be said that these two games were enough to move them.
With these two games, they really have no regrets this season. Although it is not perfect, it is definitely acceptable.
But on the other side...
For the Boston Celtics, the current public opinion across the United States makes the Celtics not feel good after sweeping the Wizards on May 28, 2008.
The voice of the coconut media is very loud now.
The biggest voice of these black media is to provide loans to the Rockets and get FMVP points for the Rockets.
One time it was Yao Ming, one time it was Tracy McGrady, one time it was Roy, and another time it was three people together, or two people together.
This is simply not treating the Celtics as human beings.
And in the face of these black media's blatant behavior of loaning money to the Rockets, they really have no solution at all.
What can be done?
If the Rockets really enter the finals, they really have no way to face the Rockets.
Although they don't want to admit it, the Rockets team is really perfect.
Whatever you want, you can find it on this team.
Of course, in the series with the Rockets, most of the Celtics felt that they might lose, but there was one good thing.
Everyone within the Celtics feels that losing may be a high probability loss, but the way the Celtics lose is definitely not as good as the SuperSonics, Lakers and Thunder.
Because the Celtics have three superstars with strong singles ability.
Garnett, Pierce, and Ray Allen, it has to be said that the Big Three are the best model to face the infinite singles system like the Rockets.
"Although I know it is difficult, I really hope Yes can create a miracle..."
This is the second year that the Celtics' Big Three have teamed up.
This year, the Celtics have become even more powerful. Without the point guard, the Celtics have improved to a higher level than last season in both offense and defense.
The Wizards who swept this season also made them clearly feel that their dominance in the Eastern Conference has risen to another level.
But ruling the east serves a purpose!
To put it bluntly, in the Eastern Conference, let alone two runner-ups, even three, four, five or six runner-ups are not as useful as a championship.
It can be said that this year is the last year that Garnett and Pierce and Ray Allen are at their peak. If after this year, they still fail to win the championship, facing the increasingly ferocious Western Conference, it will be really difficult. The chances will become increasingly slim.
"Yes..."
On the night of sweeping the Wizards, the team should be happy, but feeling the sighs around them, Ray Allen also looked out the window into the distance.
The feelings of the rest of the Celtics are mixed now.
And his mood is more complicated than other people's mood.
After the fourth game between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Rockets, the Seattle SuperSonics are now forced into a desperate situation.
At a time when the biggest voice in public opinion is to get a championship loan for the Rockets, as the Rockets' current opponent, the Seattle SuperSonics are the most embarrassing.
However, the Sonics, who are most embarrassed from the outside world, are now relaxed in the training hall of the University of Texas.
It's really relaxing.
Except for Yes, who is getting fatter and fatter, and is still meticulous in training, other Sonics players, even Durant, are no longer cold and paralyzed when they pinch Sessions' grapes with both hands.
Sessions has changed from the shock, disbelief, anger and fear at the beginning to the shyness now.
"The mood in the team is good right now."
Looking at the team's current training situation, Nelson nodded.
He can understand why Sonics players are feeling like this.
Because the third and fourth games of this series were the last and only efforts he and his players made for Yes.
He and his players gave everything they had to bring Yes what was called the final victory.
This is all they can do. As long as the Rockets still use this tactical system and method, the Seattle SuperSonics except Yes and Durant, there is not much others can do, unless Yes does not want to win and allows Milicic and Mir Saprondo and the others played crazy singles.
It's not just the players of the Seattle SuperSonics who are like this, but he is also like this. He has nothing to do now in the face of the incompetent Mann.
For a tactical player like him, the most difficult thing to do is an immovable person like Adelman.
This makes those who play tactics look like monkeys.
No matter how much you play, people don't care.
Therefore, as for the final result of this series, Nelson feels that the entire team knows that the outcome depends entirely on the performance of Yes and Durant.
For him and the team, they can accept whatever the final outcome is.
If you lose, start over!
Nelson already knows the plans of many other players on the team for next season.
After being tortured by the Rockets for four games, Milicic is preparing to attack his singles next season. His main energy this season is on defense.
The same goes for Millsap.
Nelson doesn't know whether Milicic and Millsap can practice singles, but he likes the team's upward state.
Of course, the most important reason why he likes this team is of course that 'little fat paper'.
Old Nelson looked at No. 14 over there, feeling a little regretful.
The little fat boy holding Chinese bread in his hand and chewing it all the time is still very cute.
But today, he actually stopped chewing...
