Chapter 992: A World Falling Into Darkness and the Light of Hope in the Darkness!

After defeating the Nets in New Jersey, the Seattle SuperSonics continued their Eastern Conference road trip with 31 consecutive victories.

January 1, 2010.

There is no holiday for the NBA on New Year's Day this year. Under David Stern's recent reforms this year, the four fixed Christmas games have become more and more successful. After successfully reforming the Christmas game, as an ambitious player Home', how could David Stern fit in this New Year's Day meal.

In today's NBA, because the league strictly controls large-scale retaliatory actions between players, the number of personal grievances between players is much less than in the past.

Although it is very dirty to play malicious tricks on the court, there is no doubt that the dirty play between players can sometimes increase the grievances and anger between the players and the team, and also make the game more intense. And something to watch.

However, man is a very mean animal.

Today you cheated on me by 1 point, tomorrow I will retaliate with 2 points, and the day after tomorrow he will retaliate with 3 points.

The grievances are getting deeper and deeper, and the games are getting more and more intense, but if there is no control and the NBA continues like this, sooner or later there will be no one to play.

And before anyone can play, those offensive players who can bring huge benefits to the NBA will be completely destroyed by the defensive bastards.

At that time, before the NBA is over, there will definitely be only a group of guys left who are good at fighting and using dirty tricks. As for those who play well and speak well, most of them are probably disabled. Even if there are no disabled ones left, I'm afraid There is no way to improve my basketball skills and make my playing better and sound better. Instead, I give up all this to study how black people can be evil.

Therefore, although David Stern will miss the intense basketball in the 1990s from time to time.

But David Stern has never regretted killing the intense basketball he missed with his own hands.

Because he knew very well that basketball in that era was not the future of the NBA.

Although I know that intense basketball that will only bring the NBA into a negative direction is not the future of the NBA, everything has two sides. At that time, the intensity and confrontation of basketball still had merit.

Players are prohibited from retaliating against each other on the court, minimizing the players' personal grudges. David Stern is reluctant to let go of the fierce basketball he once had.

In the end, David Stern thought of another method.

That is, private grudges are abandoned, but a public point of conflict can be created.

That is to artificially create some special games, so that the players feel that such games are special and must win. Winning such a game can also bring huge benefits.

The current Christmas Day war and the New Year's Day war are both products of ideas like David Stern's.

The Christmas War was a success.

But the New Year's Day war was not that successful.

Therefore, New Year's Day always comes and goes.

Last year’s NBA New Year’s Day game was canceled.

However, there is nothing that can be done about it. The Christmas War has been passed down for many years.

The Christmas War is a regular season game with special significance. The Christmas War has exceeded the scope of the regular season.

But the New Year's Day war was different.

Maybe for the first time, everyone will really want to believe that the New Year's Day war is also special.

But over time, everyone will find that the New Year's Day war is still an ordinary regular season?

In an ordinary regular season, why should I work so hard?

That’s 82 games in a season!

If Yez punched Arenas in the last game,

In the next match between the two, Arenas's level of desperation was definitely much higher than when Arenas and Yes met on New Year's Day.

David Stern's reform of the New Year's Day War was not that successful, but it can be seen from the occasional stoppage of the New Year's Day War that David Stern really does not give up.

If the NBA can create another Christmas Day game, it will not only give players another place to resolve their grievances, but also increase fierce competition in the NBA.

The same applies to other professional leagues in the United States.

David Stern’s ambition is to make the NBA the first professional league. As the first professional league, it would be an absolute lie to say that David Stern has not thought about testing the waters on the NCAA final day and the NFL’s Thanksgiving Day game. .

If the New Year's Day game can be successful, many people are sure that David Stern's next step will be to support the Thanksgiving game, and the next step will be to launch the NCAA Finals Day game.

In order to realize his ambition, David Stern was unwilling to give up the New Year's Day. For David Stern, the New Year's Day war was a waste of food and a pity.

But for NBA players, especially those model-worker teams that played the Christmas game, it was really painful.

The whole world knows that the period from Christmas to New Year's Day in the United States is equivalent to China's Spring Festival holiday.

Fighting the Christmas war and the New Year's Day war during this period is equivalent to having to work overtime on New Year's Eve in China and having to work overtime for the first grade of junior high school.

If there is no way to rest on New Year’s Eve and the first day of the Lunar New Year during the Spring Festival holiday, is it still considered the Spring Festival?

Everyone can actually tolerate the Christmas game. This is indeed the dream of many players when they were young and did not enter the NBA.

But the New Year's Day war...

This is really a complaint.

In this year’s New Year’s Day battle, the Seattle SuperSonics and Wizards are the focus of four games.

Logically speaking, the Wizards have not played in the Christmas game this season, and the Wizards should be the more fighting team.

As for the SuperSonics, as they were fighting Christmas Day and constantly working overtime during the Spring Festival, they should be very exhausted both physically and mentally.

However, when the game between the Sonics and Wizards started, many people were surprised to find out.

The Wizards' fighting spirit is quite low.

On the contrary, the Seattle SuperSonics, who have been working overtime and playing games, and have been on the road recently, are very motivated.

Facing the unknown team led by Arenas, the Leafs and the SuperSonics still have a basic sense of vigilance.

After all, the Wizards and Nets are really different.

But winning this game did make Yees and the SuperSonics feel incredibly relaxed.

When the fourth quarter started, there was no suspense in this game.

At the end of the third quarter, the Sonics led by 20 points. Less than half of the fourth quarter started. The SuperSonics rotation led by James Harden and Gasol completely turned the fourth quarter into garbage. time.

If it weren't for lack of time, this game could have been another fifty-eight.

"The Wizards were a little disappointed in this game. This is completely unlike the Wizards' past style."

Sitting on the bench and watching James Harden and Gasol abuse Ding Jinhui and other Wizards substitutes, Ye Si frowned.

It wasn't just his teammates who saw it.

Of course he saw it too.

The Wizards were very disappointed tonight, this is indeed abnormal.

Because the boss of the Wizards is Arenas, the Wizards have always been in the minds of Ye Si, SuperSonics players and even the world, with the kind of disobedient character who can't help but take his fate.

Regardless of their strength, Arenas and his Wizards have never surrendered to anyone or disarmed anyone.

But tonight...

The Seattle SuperSonics easily defeated the Wizards led by Arenas 150-112 in Washington.

The ease of winning this game was something that neither the Leafs nor the Sonics expected.

What's more, what Ye Si didn't expect was that after the game, Arenas did not hug him like before, but hugged him and walked into the tunnel with his head lowered.

"Is he okay?"

Seeing the concerned look on Ye Si's face, Sun Yue smiled bitterly and shook his head, not knowing what to say for a while.

"Gilbert has been in a bad mood recently. The fact that the Heat traded Garnett and Pierce was a big blow to him."

I was hit by the big deal from the Heat...

Ye Si was a little surprised when he heard Sun Yue say this.

In fact, after the Heat's big deal was completed, many teams were actually hit.

In the past, when the Big Three of the Celtics were formed, the Big Five of the Heat were formed, the Big Six of the Lakers F6, and the Big Six of the SuperSonics were formed, there were calls in the league that the NBA was about to enter its finale.

But these calls are actually more ridicule and satire than just hype from media reporters.

In fact, not all teams automatically surrender when facing these teams.

Especially those strong teams will not really feel that the NBA has entered the finale.

But this time...

Pierce and Garnett went to the Heat, which is indeed incredible.

You know, Garnett and Pierce were the leaders of Yao's team in the All-Star last season!

Garnett and Pierce's status in the league over the years is truly extraordinary.

Let’s talk about the results of this year’s All-Star voting so far.

The top four forwards in the Eastern Conference are James, Garnett, Pierce, and Bosh. For forward positions, the top four in the Eastern Conference are all with the Heat.

This was the All-Star voting result before this big deal was completed. In other words, with this transaction, the Heat collected all the best forwards in the Eastern Conference into their hands.

The teams in the Eastern Conference are already weak.

The quality and strength of the stars of the Eastern Conference teams are not very strong.

Now that the Heat have created such a team, other teams in the Eastern Conference will be hit hard.

This simply extinguished the illusions of all Eastern Conference teams.

No kidding, if any Eastern Conference team dares to talk about dreams after seeing the Heat's lineup, there must be something wrong with their brains.

dream?

In front of a lineup like the Heat, you guys are worthy of talking about dreams?

Have you ever thought about what it feels like to dream?

Yeas has been hearing a lot about Eastern Conference teams recently after the Heat trade was completed.

More than one or two of the top teams in the Eastern Conference said.

"I knew it would be ruined at the beginning of the season!"

"The Heat are not letting people live!"

"This season is just a mess, and the statistics are better and the statistics are worse. Anyway, the NBA this season has nothing to do with the Eastern Conference teams!"

Ye Si was actually not surprised to hear such noise from the Eastern Conference team.

How could any normal person remain indifferent in the face of such a giant heat?

I'm afraid only abnormal people will react differently.

But from now on, even Arenas, who belongs to the category of abnormal people, seems to be in despair...

The Heat's lineup is simply a dimension-reducing blow from aliens to the already relatively weak Eastern Conference.

It can be said that the Heat's lineup has completely destroyed the competitive spirit of everyone in the Eastern Conference this season.

Arenas is like this, who in the East still has the heart to compete?

"Brother Ye, after you defeated the Heat in the Christmas game, Gilbert was very excited and very motivated. He also told us that the SuperSonics can do it, and so can our Wizards, but..."

Sun Yue did not continue speaking, but Ye Si knew exactly what he meant.

Not to mention Yes, Durant and James Harden next to Yes also know it very well.

The Heat's behavior is like an NBA superstar, playing basketball with children on the training ground, going all out to block these children's shots, and slapping these children's shots away one by one, with a loud mouth. Shouting: "Fuck your basketball dream!"

Thinking of this scene, Durant and James Harden felt chills.

Damn it, how crazy a person must be to do such a cruel thing to a child? !

To the Heat, these teams in the Eastern Conference are actually children.

Now, the dreams of these children have been completely killed by the Heat.

In the old days of the Heat, Arenas and many people would still pin their hopes on Yes and the Sonics, hoping that Ye and the Sonics could help them get their dreams back.

But facing the current Heat, even Arenas no longer has any hope.

Not only does this mean he has no hope for himself, he also no longer has any hope for Ye Si and the Sonics...

The Sonics boast ten All-Stars.

This is just a claim. How can Sessions and Tucker be true All-Stars?

No matter how strong James Harden and Gasol Ibaka are, they can't offset the terrifying pressure brought by Garnett and Pierce.

What's more, the Sonics were brutally beaten by the Heat in their last game.

"Many strong teams in the West are envious of the environment the Eastern teams are in. Looking at it now, the Heat have made themselves so strong, but the Eastern teams themselves don't think they are in an enviable environment."

"Indeed, if there is no hope of entering the finals and becoming a championship, I would rather not have any Eastern Conference finals or conference finals. The conference finals that are destined to fail have no meaning at all."

The current situation in the East is very distressing.

Yes and the SuperSonics players know that James and the Heat players cannot fail to know the impact their team has on the entire Eastern Conference.

But so what?

Do weak people have the right to talk about dreams? !

Before the start of this season, the Heat's goal is to plunge the entire NBA into darkness!

Now the entire east has fallen into darkness!

"Congratulations to the Seattle SuperSonics!"

"177 to 110, the Seattle SuperSonics defeated the Milwaukee Bucks in an away game to achieve their 33rd consecutive victory, tying the Los Angeles Lakers' record for the longest winning streak in the NBA!"

"This is a victory that will go down in history!"

On January 3, at the Bradley Center in Milwaukee, Barkley roared loudly.

James, who was outside the TV, clenched his fists tightly.

The entire east has been ruled by him until it fell into darkness.

"Next, it will be the West, it will be the Seattle SuperSonics!"

Washington on the other side.

Looking at the thirty-three consecutive victory ribbons on the TV, my eyes moved slightly with excitement.

The fluttering victory ribbon seemed like a faint light of hope.

It's just that such a weak light of hope is blocked by a powerful darkness like a black hole.
