Chapter 885: Two K and Ten and the Most Gorgeous Turn!

The Western Conference semifinals between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Dallas Mavericks are over.

In the end, the Seattle SuperSonics, eighth in the Western Conference, defeated the Dallas Mavericks, fourth in the Western Conference, on the road and advanced to the Western Conference Finals.

After entering the Western Conference Finals, the Seattle SuperSonics became the only team to enter the Western Conference Finals in each of the past three years.

After the Seattle SuperSonics sold a team's high-quality resources in exchange for Leafs, the Seattle SuperSonics made it to the playoffs for three consecutive years and the Western Conference finals for three consecutive years!

No matter how weak the Seattle SuperSonics' lineup is, no matter how difficult the Seattle SuperSonics' schedule is.

The Seattle SuperSonics can reach the Western Conference Finals under the leadership of Yeas.

The Western Conference Finals seems to have become the minimum guarantee for Ye Si to lead the team.

In the first three years of his career, with Milicic, Millsap, Rondo, Durant, Harden, and Gasol, who were regarded as crooked by public opinion and experts, he could play for three consecutive years. Entering the Western Conference Finals, and the Western Conference for the past three years has been a historically competitive environment. It can be said that this is what these people call proof of the leadership ability of the first team in history.

"Even the Seattle SuperSonics can be brought into the Western Conference Finals by yes. It's hard for me to imagine that yes will fall out of the Western Conference Finals one day in the future!"

The result that the Seattle SuperSonics entered the Western Conference Finals was really a surprise and an incredible shock to the public opinion around the world.

When the Seattle SuperSonics entered the playoffs, it was true that most media reporters and experts were not optimistic about the SuperSonics.

In the first round against the Spurs, the SuperSonics' approval rating was less than 10. In the second round against the Mavericks, the SuperSonics' approval rating was less than 20.

Play the Spurs in the first round. The Spurs are first in the Western Conference this year.

In the second round, they play the Mavericks, who are actually second in record in the Western Conference this year.

It can be said that the Seattle SuperSonics' playoff journey this year is the most difficult schedule.

The first and second teams in the Western Conference regular season were both eliminated by the SuperSonics.

In the end, we were able to meet the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference Finals.

When the final results between the Sonics and the Dallas Mavericks came out, my jaw dropped when I saw the Western Conference Finals matchup between the Sonics and the Lakers.

Originally, according to the predictions of many media experts before the game, this year's Western Conference Finals had a high probability of being a showdown between the Lakers and the Spurs.

However, no matter how unexpected it is, the Western Conference Finals matchup between the SuperSonics and the Lakers has been determined.

As soon as the Western Conference Finals matchup between the SuperSonics and the Lakers took place, the entire world's public opinion began to slowly turn towards this matchup.

In the past two rounds of matchups, between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Spurs, and between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Mavericks, the SuperSonics lagged behind significantly in support ratings.

But after this round of showdown between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Lakers.

ESN routinely invites 100 experts to make predictions for this series.

The final result was really shocking.

The Seattle SuperSonics, which had lagged behind significantly in the previous two rounds of the series, had an approval rating of 50 in this round of the Western Conference Finals!

That's right, in this round of predictions for the Seattle SuperSonics and Los Angeles Lakers by 100 experts from esn, surprisingly, both the SuperSonics and the Lakers' support for promotion are 50!

Fifty-five!

This showdown between the SuperSonics and the Lakers is unexpectedly close!

In terms of strength, the Los Angeles Lakers are naturally better than the Seattle SuperSonics.

And maybe a lot stronger.

Take the most popular game in the NBA right now, the recently released 2k10, as an example.

Because the 2k9 player ability exploded last year, there were only a lot of players with 99 ability, and there were more players with 90 and above than dogs.

This year's 2k10 learned from last year's lessons and was very cautious in player abilities, which also allowed this game to defeat its old rival nbalive in one fell swoop.

2k10 has indeed done a great job in terms of player abilities this year, and even many professionals are referring to it.

90+ superstar level, 80+ star level, 70+ main force level, 60+ substitute level, each level is quite clear, it is no longer 90, 80 or even hundreds in one pot.

In the latest 2k10 game, among the SuperSonics players, Yes is the only player in the NBA who still has an ability value of 99.

Except for Ye Si, a player with an ability value of 99, other SuperSonics players.

Rondo's ability value is 82, ranking ninth among point guards. The point guard ranked in front of Rondo is none other than Kidd, who has 83.

Durant's ability value is 76, ranking tied for 16th at the small forward position. Among the players tied with Durant is Lakers backup small forward Turkoglu, while Artest is ranked 82nd. No. 10 at the small forward position.

Millsap's ability value is 76, ranking tied for 17th at the power forward position. There are 5 players ahead of Millsap who have an ability value of 77 and tied for 11th, such as former SuperSonics player David Lee and Trail Blazers' Aldrie Oddly enough, the Lakers' starting power forward Randolph's ability value is 81, ranking tenth at the power forward position.

Milicic's ability value is 83, ranking fifth at the center position, while the Lakers' starting center Andrew Bynum's ability value is 80, ranking seventh.

In addition to these five starting players for the SuperSonics, for example, among the substitute players, Gasol's ability value is 71, Barea's ability value is 71, and James Harden's ability value is 70. Among the SuperSonics' substitute players, In other words, the ability values ​​of these three players have reached above 70, which is the main level.

According to 2k10's ability evaluation, the Sonics are neither too strong nor too weak, with a top 99 Super Giant, two All-Stars above 80, and five main-level players above 70.

The highest score on the Lakers side is Kobe's 97. In addition to the superstar Kobe, there are four All-Star players who are over 80, including Bynum, Randolph, Kidd, and Artest. There are four main-level players over 70, including Kegrug, Batum, Ariza, and Fisher.

In terms of the overall ability of the players, the Lakers are indeed one level above the Seattle SuperSonics.

However, the Lakers' strengths are matched by the SuperSonics!

Kobe is very strong, but on the other side, there is Ye Si who can just match up with Kobe!

Kidd is a master, and on the other side, there is also a master, Rondo, who is even more master in triple-double!

Of course, the adjective "master" is already a derogatory term in today's NBA.

Randolph is very powerful and can almost crush most of the league's power forwards at the power forward position, but the SuperSonics' Millsap, who is both offensive and defensive, is just right enough to match up.

Bynum is the top center of the younger generation, the NBA's top center, and the SuperSonics also have a young generation's top center, the NBA's non-mainstream Milicic.

In addition, the Lakers' small forward position is full of tall and thin players such as Artest, Turkoglu, Ariza, Batum and other strong players, but the Seattle SuperSonics' small forward position is also tall and thin. There are also many tough players. Durant, Ibaka, Tucker, Wilkins, etc. can all fight.

Don't look at Durant, Ibaka and Tucker Wilkins are little cats in front of Nowitzki.

But the Lakers don't have a Nowitzki!

It can be said that the overall strength of the Lakers is indeed stronger, but the SuperSonics are precisely the team in the league that can best match the Lakers!

Therefore, this season, in the regular season, no matter whether the Lakers are ranked first or second in the Western Conference, the effort of playing against the SuperSonics will make Lakers fans feel a little itchy.

If this season, we could select a team that the Lakers least want to encounter in the playoffs, and the Spurs ranked first, then the SuperSonics would definitely be ranked second!

Therefore, after the Western Conference Finals matchup between the SuperSonics and the Lakers, Lakers fans were really mixed.

Fortunately, the Spurs, the biggest sufferer, were taken away by the SuperSonics.

Worryingly, the Sonics, the second worst offender, were not taken away by the Mavericks.

It is indeed very uncomfortable to meet two teams that can match up well.

Of course the Lakers are uncomfortable, and so are the SuperSonics.

The reason why Sonics fans are not as bitter as Lakers fans is not because they don’t feel bitter, but for the Sonics this season, no matter who they play against, it will be bitter. If they don’t beat the Lakers, it will be bitter if they beat the Nuggets. Facing the Timberwolves, who were eliminated in the first round of this half, the Sonics will have a hard time!

Relatively speaking, apart from the Suns, the Lakers are actually the best choice.

After the matchup between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Lakers came out, judging from the opinions of fans on both sides and various media.

This is destined to be a very close and very exciting duel.

After the Western Conference Finals matchups were announced, media attention began to turn to the Western Conference Finals or the showdown.

But at the same time, there are also a lot of media and public opinions that are still paying attention to this epic showdown between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Dallas Mavericks.

The showdown between the SuperSonics and the Mavericks, and between Yeas and Nowitzki, was ultimately defined as an epic showdown.

In the first three games, the two teams were still noobs pecking each other.

These three games of rookie pecking are now regarded as three classic games in which Yees and Nowitzki let their teammates play first and held the position themselves to educate their teammates.

Although these three games may seem like rookies pecking each other, they are actually the three games in which yes and Nowitzki control this series!

After these three games to educate teammates, the next step is really a big change!

In the next four games, the two of them scored over 40 points in each game, and in the last game both even broke over 50!

In the history of the NBA, there are only two players who have scored 40+ points in four consecutive playoff games. One is Yes. This is not the first time that Yes has done it.

In the last round of the game against the Spurs, he scored 40+ points in 7 consecutive games!

And Nowitzki is also the second player after Yees to have 40+ points in the playoffs in four consecutive games. Apart from Yees and Nowitzki, the only players with 40+ points in three consecutive games are Jordan and Allen. Ferson and Anthony, who played for the Sonics last season.

What's more, this series between the SuperSonics and the Mavericks, which has been defined as a legend, does have a lot to remember.

Nowitzki, who was previously recognized as the number one softie in history, achieved a gorgeous turn in this series.

How big is this turnaround for Nowitzki?

Take 2k10 as an example. 2k10 was originally planned to be released on May 11, but on May 10, after Nowitzki single-handedly led the Mavericks to a crucial fourth victory, 2k10 was postponed. release!

This delay means one week!

According to 2k's internal information, the reason why 2k10 will be delayed is because of Nowitzki's ability value.

Before Nowitzki's gorgeous turn, Nowitzki's ability value was 81, ranking ninth among the power forwards!

If this is released, 2k10 will not be able to beat NBA Live. The ability and rigor that have been worked hard for a whole year will suddenly avalanche.

And when the official version of 2k10 was announced, that is, after the series between the SuperSonics and the Mavericks, Nowitzki's ability value was 90, tied with Duncan for the first place among power forwards!

It’s really not easy to get an ability value above 90 in this year’s 2k10.

The only point guard position is Chris Paul, with 94, which Paul earned with those crazy quadruple-doubles. Apart from Paul, Nash, the number one point guard in previous years, had an ability value of 86.

The shooting guard position has the most numbers above 90, with Leafs at 99, Kobe at 97, Arenas and Wade at 96, Iverson at 90, and the remaining highest is Roy at 87.

For the small forward position, James has 96 and Anthony has 95.

For the center position, Yao Ming and O'Neal have 90. Only these two have reached 90. The remaining highest are Oden and Howard with 89.

In the entire league, there are only 12 players with an ability value of 90 or above!

Among them, Nowitzki is tied for eighth!

In one series, Nowitzki transformed from a ninth-ranked power forward player to a tied eighth-ranked player in the league!

Moreover, no one was dissatisfied with such a turn.

In the last game between the SuperSonics and the Mavericks, the scene where Yes took the entire team's jersey and replaced it with Nowitzki's jersey is definitely an eternal classic in the NBA.

According to information within the SuperSonics, Yes is not forcing everyone to take their jerseys to change.

Every SuperSonics player wants to change jerseys with Nowitzki. Almost every one of them has been beaten by Nowitzki, and every one of them is really convinced by Nowitzki!

Even after the game, even Durant, who almost never tweets and doesn't like to surf the Internet, and is recognized by the league as the lowest profile online, tweeted. The content of the tweet was very simple. The word "legend" was paired with "No." The jersey that Viski wore in his final game.

It can be said that no matter how badly Nowitzki was hacked, the backlash is getting stronger now.

Of course, there are not without doubts. For example, the data Nowitzki collected on rookies such as Durant, Gasol, Milicic, Harden, Millsap, Tucker, etc... …

But these sounds are not very loud.

May 18, 2009.

The war cry of the conference finals kicked off with the craziest boos from Cleveland fans to James at the beginning!

Amid the crazy boos from Cavaliers fans, LeBron James, who went undercover in the previous two rounds, went undercover again.

This time, everyone felt that James must be more depressed and undercover.

But the final result...

James scored a crazy 45 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists in just 30 minutes!

For a moment, the Quicken Loans Arena was filled with boos and silence!

The momentary silence was replaced by even louder boos and even more abuse!

No matter how loud the boos or the abuse, James still brutally slaughtered his subjects who loved him most in the past and now hate him most...

On May 19, the day after the Heat massacred the Cavaliers, a special plane from Jaycees and the SuperSonics arrived in the City of Angels!

"Yes, it's finally here!"
