Chapter 885: 2k10 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, ranked eighth in the West, defeated the Dallas Mavericks, ranked fourth in the West, on the road and advanced to the Western Conference Finals.

After entering the Western Conference Finals, the Seattle SuperSonics also became the only team to enter the Western Conference Finals every year in the past three years.

After the Seattle SuperSonics sold all their resources to exchange for Yes, the Seattle SuperSonics made the playoffs for three consecutive years and entered 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 make it to the Western Conference Finals under the leadership of Yes.

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

In the first three years of his career, he could make it to the Western Conference Finals for three consecutive years with Milicic, Millsap, Rondo, Durant, Harden, and Gasol, who were considered crooked in the eyes of public opinion and experts, and the Western Conference in these three years was still a historical competitive environment. It can be said that this is the evidence of the recognized historical No. 1 team leadership ability that these people said.

"Even the Seattle Supersonics can be brought into the Western Conference Finals by Yes. I can hardly imagine that Yes will fall out of the Western Conference Finals 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 of the whole world.

When the Seattle Supersonics entered the playoffs, most media reporters and experts were indeed not optimistic about the Supersonics.

In the first round against the Spurs, the support rate of the Supersonics was less than 10%, and in the second round against the Mavericks, the support rate of the Supersonics was less than 20%.

In the first round against the Spurs, the Spurs were the first in the Western Conference this year.

In the second round against the Mavericks, the Mavericks were the actual second in the Western Conference record this year.

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

The first and second places in the Western Conference regular season were all eliminated by the Supersonics.

In the end, they could meet the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference Finals.

When the final result of the Supersonics and the Dallas Mavericks came out, it was really jaw-dropping to see the Western Conference Finals matchup between the Supersonics and the Lakers.

Originally, according to the predictions of many media experts before the game, this year's Western Conference Finals was likely to be a showdown between the Lakers and the Spurs.

However, no matter how unexpected it is, the Western Conference Finals match between the Supersonics and the Lakers has been confirmed.

As soon as the Western Conference Finals match between the Supersonics and the Lakers was born, the public opinion of the whole world began to slowly turn to this round of matchup.

In the past two rounds of matchups, the Seattle Supersonics and the Spurs, and the Seattle Supersonics and the Mavericks, the Supersonics were far behind in the support rate.

But after the Seattle Supersonics and the Lakers this round of matchup.

ESPN routinely invited 100 experts to make predictions for this round of series.

The final result was really a bit surprising.

The Seattle Supersonics, whose support rate was far behind in the previous two rounds of series, actually reached 50% in this round of Western Conference Finals!

That's right, in the predictions of ESPN's 100 experts for the Seattle Supersonics and the Los Angeles Lakers, the support rate for the Supersonics and the Lakers' advancement was unexpectedly 50%!

50-50!

This matchup between the Supersonics and the Lakers is unexpectedly close!

In terms of strength, the Los Angeles Lakers are naturally stronger than the Seattle Supersonics.

And maybe much stronger.

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

Because the player abilities of 2k9 released last year exploded,

there are a lot of players with abilities of 99, and there are more players with abilities above 90 than dogs.

This year's 2k10 has learned from last year's lessons and is very cautious in terms of player abilities, which has also made this game defeat its old rival NBAlive in one fell swoop.

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

90+ superstars, 80+ star level, 70+ main level, 60+ substitutes, each level is quite clear, no longer a pot of 90, 80 or even hundreds.

In the latest 2k10 game, among the players of the Supersonics, Yes is the only active NBA player whose ability value still reaches 99.

In addition to Yes, a player with an ability value of 99, the other players of the Supersonics.

Rondo's ability value is 82, ranking ninth among point guards. The point guard ahead of Rondo is none other than Kidd with an ability value of 83.

Durant's ability value is 76, ranking 16th among small forwards, and the players who are tied with Durant include Lakers backup small forward Turkoglu, while Artest is 82 and ranks tenth among small forwards.

Millsap's ability value is 76, ranking 17th among power forwards. There are five players ahead of Millsap with an ability value of 77 and 11th, such as former Supersonics player David Lee and Trail Blazers' Aldridge. Among them, Lakers' starting power forward Randolph's ability value is 81, ranking tenth among power forwards.

Milicic's ability value is 83, ranking fifth among centers, while Lakers' starting center Andrew Bynum's ability value is 80, ranking seventh.

In addition to these five starting players, the Sonics have a bench player, such as Gasol's ability value of 71, Barea's ability value of 71, and James Harden's ability value of 70. Among the Sonics' bench players, only these three players have reached the main level of 70 or above.

According to the ability evaluation of 2K10, the Sonics are neither too strong nor too weak, with a superstar with the highest 99, two All-Stars above 80, and 5 main players above 70.

The highest on the Lakers side is Kobe's 97. In addition to Kobe, there are four All-Star players above 80, including Bynum, Randolph, Kidd, and Artest. At the same time, there are four main players above 70, including Turkoglu, Batum, Ariza, and Fisher.

In terms of the overall ability of the players, the Lakers are indeed one level higher than the Seattle Supersonics.

However, the Supersonics can match the Lakers' strengths!

Kobe is very strong, but on the other side, there is a Yes who can just match Kobe!

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

Of course, the adjective "master" is already a derogatory term in the current NBA.

Randolph is very strong, almost able to crush most of the league's power forwards at the power forward position, but the Sonics' Millsap, one offense and one defense, can just match up.

Bynum is a top center of the younger generation, a haircut in the NBA, and the Sonics also have a top center of the younger generation, the non-mainstream Milicic in the NBA.

In addition, the Lakers' small forward position is a pile of tall and thin Artest, Turkoglu, Ariza, Batum and other tough guys, but the Seattle Supersonics' small forward position is also a pile of tall and thin, and there are also many tough guys, Durant, Ibaka, Tucker, Wilkins and others can fight.

Don't think that Durant, Ibaka and Tucker Wilkins are kittens in front of Nowitzki.

But the Lakers don't have a Nowitzki!

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

So, this season, in the regular season, no matter whether the Lakers are ranked first or second in the West, it is difficult to play against the Supersonics, which makes Lakers fans feel a little itchy.

If this season, you can choose a team that the Lakers are most reluctant to meet in the playoffs, the Spurs rank first, and the Supersonics are definitely ranked second!

So, after the Western Conference Finals between the Supersonics and the Lakers came out, Lakers fans are really mixed.

The good news is that the Spurs, the biggest victim, was taken away by the Supersonics.

The bad news is that the Supersonics, the second victim, was not taken away by the Mavericks.

It is really uncomfortable for two teams that can match each other to meet.

Of course, the Lakers are uncomfortable, and the Supersonics are also uncomfortable.

The reason why the fans of the Supersonics did not complain as much as the fans of the Lakers was not that they did not feel bitter, but for the Supersonics this season, no matter who they played against, it would be bitter. If they did not play against the Lakers, it would be bitter to play against the Nuggets, and even against the Timberwolves who were eliminated in the first round of this half of the zone, the Supersonics would be bitter!

Relatively speaking, except for the Suns, the Lakers are actually the best choice.

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

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

After the matchup of the Western Conference Finals came out, the attention of the media began to turn to the Western Conference Finals or the duel.

But at the same time, there are also many media opinions that are still paying attention to the epic duel between the Seattle Supersonics and the Dallas Mavericks.

The duel between the Supersonics and the Mavericks, Yes and Nowitzki, was finally defined as an epic duel.

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

These three games of noobs fighting are now regarded as three classic games in which Yes and Nowitzki let their teammates play first and taught their teammates a lesson.

Although these three games seem to be noobs fighting, they are the three games in which Yes and Nowitzki controlled this series!

After these three games of teaching teammates, the next thing is really a big change!

In the next four games, the two scored more than 40 points in each game, and even broke 50 in the last game!

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

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

And Nowitzki is also the second player after Yes to get 40+ in four consecutive playoff games. In addition to Yes and Nowitzki, the only players who scored 40+ in three consecutive games are Jordan, Iverson and Anthony who played against the Supersonics last season.

Moreover, this round of series between the Supersonics and the Mavericks, which is defined as a legend, does have a lot of things worth recalling.

Nowitzki, who was previously recognized as the most wimp in history, made a brilliant turnaround in this series.

How big is Nowitzki's turnaround this time?

Take 2k10 as an example. 2k10 was originally scheduled to be released on May 11, but on May 10, after Nowitzki led the Mavericks to a crucial fourth victory by himself, 2k10 announced a delay in release!

This delay lasted for a week!

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

Before Nowitzki's gorgeous turn, Nowitzki's ability value was 81, ranking ninth in the power forward position!

If this is released, 2k10 will not be able to beat NBA Live, and the ability rigor that has been worked on for a whole year will collapse instantly.

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 power forward!

It is really not easy to get an ability value of more than 90 in this year's 2k10.

There is only one point guard position, Chris Paul, with 94, which Paul earned with those crazy quadruple-doubles. In addition to Paul, the ability value of Nash, the first point guard in previous years, was 86.

The shooting guard position has the most above 90, Yes's 99, Kobe's 97, Arenas and Wade's 96, Iverson's 90, and the highest remaining is Roy's 87.

The small forward position is James' 96 and Anthony's 95.

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

There are only 12 players with ability values ​​above 90 in the entire league!

Among them, Nowitzki is tied for eighth!

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

And such a transformation is really unacceptable to anyone.

In the last game between the Supersonics and the Mavericks, the scene where Yes took the jerseys of the entire team to exchange for Nowitzki's jersey is definitely an eternal classic in the NBA.

According to internal news from the Supersonics, it was not Yes who forced everyone to exchange jerseys.

It was that every player of the Supersonics wanted to exchange jerseys with Nowitzki. Almost every one of them was beaten by Nowitzki, and every one of them was really convinced by Nowitzki!

Even after the game, even Durant, who almost never tweeted, did not like to go online, and was recognized by the league as the most low-key online, tweeted. The content of the tweet was very simple, with the word "legend" and the jersey that Nowitzki wore in the last game.

It can be said that the worse Nowitzki was criticized, the stronger the backlash is now.

Of course, there are also voices of doubt, such as the data Nowitzki got on rookies like Durant, Gasol, Milicic, Harden, Millsap, Tucker, etc.

But these voices are not very loud.

May 18, 2009.

The war horn of the divisional finals kicked off with the most crazy boos from Cleveland fans against James at the beginning!

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

This time, everyone thought that James' mentality must be more broken and more undercover.

But the final result...

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

For a while, the booing Quick Loans Arena was silent!

But the momentary silence was exchanged for even louder boos and even more abuse!

No matter how loud the boos or insults were, James led the Heat to brutally slaughter his subjects who loved him the most in the past but now hated him the most...

On May 19, the day after the Heat slaughtered the Cavaliers, Yes and the Sonics' special plane landed in the City of Angels!

"Yes, it's finally here!"
