Chapter 1,189 Auden’s Path and Irving’s Unusual Path

Because of the efforts of the Grizzlies veterans, the Seattle SuperSonics, which has been in a devilish state this season, was forced to use all its strength.

In the last quarter, a super climax of 56 to 14 gave away the "May 8 Paul Medal of Courage".

In the end, on this night that many people thought was incredible, the Seattle SuperSonics not only completed their 22nd consecutive victory, but also completed an incredible miracle of 22 consecutive 58s.

Under the siege of the whole world, it is not easy to win consecutively, and it is also a streak of 58 consecutive victories.

This is indeed a bit jaw-dropping.

Not to mention Seattle SuperSonics fans, even other neutral fans who were watching the excitement and league executives like league president David Stern found it very unbelievable.

In this game against the Grizzlies, I thought that even if the Grizzlies couldn't win because of poor rotation, they wouldn't be defeated.

However, it was still 58 in the end.

Of course, this does not blame the Grizzlies, the seventh-ranked veteran team in the Western Conference.

After all, even in the game, many people know that if you want to defeat the Demon King, you need to understand the Demon King first.

In all the games before this season, even the Warriors, currently third in the Western Conference, failed to understand the Devil. The Grizzlies helped everyone do it. What else can be dissatisfied?

Although the Grizzlies did not win in the end and did not escape the fate of 58 in the end, the Grizzlies were still heroes in front of the brave and made their greatest contribution to the cause of the brave overthrowing the Devil.

Especially before the Christmas war, the battle between the strongest Warrior Lakers and the strongest Devil Supersonics, such a contribution is very important.

Of course, this is the outside world's view. For the Grizzlies themselves, they won't take it for granted.

Make a wedding dress for the Lakers?

They didn't work so hard in this game just to make wedding dresses for the Lakers!

They worked so hard in this game for Oden, for the team, and for themselves!

Since we are heroes, don't make so many false claims. If the Sonics don't win all this season, can they give the MVP to Oden?

This... is of course not allowed.

Therefore, for the Grizzlies veterans, no matter how good these guys talk, it is of no use.

They all feel that the Grizzlies have made a wedding dress for the team they support, so they praise the Grizzlies like this.

Media reporters and fans who support James feel that the Grizzlies are exploring a path for James.

Media reporters and fans who support Kobe feel that the Grizzlies have tested the true strength of the Sonics for Kobe.

Media reporters and fans who support the Warriors or other teams also have the same mentality.

Of course, this game did not allow the Grizzlies to defeat the Seattle SuperSonics, but this game was not without gains for these Grizzlies players.

They knew from this game that they and Oden were a good fit.

It's a pity that the most suitable time for them and Oden is when they are old.

It would be great if they were as good as Oden when they weren't too old.

Well there's absolutely nothing about the Mavericks, Warriors and Cavaliers the past few years.

"Master, do you think I should follow the trend?"

"Trends are ethereal and ever-changing. You should continue to catch up with your own strength. I think you have not reached your own limit yet."

"If it were me, I would push my strength to the limit and use everything I have to let the entire NBA trend catch up with me."

"You are different from others, you have this potential."

Auden was willing to believe what Yes said.

Because that's what the master does.

He just used his strength to turn everything around. The trend of the entire basketball world was chasing him. He used his strength to change the world.

But do I also have such potential and future?

Oden is unclear.

In fact, Ye Si didn't know.

Does Oden have a future that can change the tide of the NBA again?

Ye Si really doesn't know.

But he knows that when a big man like Oden starts to change his style to catch up with the current trend, he is destined to have no future.

Even if you win the championship, the person who represents the trend of that team will get the honor in the end.

Unless, his teammate is Curry...

What's more, he is different from others. He is the chosen one. He is a combination of Russell and Duncan, Yao Ming and O'Neal.

If he can't reverse the current trend and reality of the NBA, who can do it in the future?

"Don't be affected by the environment, and don't be guided by public opinion. Follow your heart. I believe you know what kind of basketball you need."

Oden, who had been feeling melancholy recently, looked at the gentle smile on Ye Si's face, and the melancholy on his face finally began to dissipate.

"I want basketball like Master, I don't want basketball like James."

This time, Oden spoke to Ye Si without any melancholy or hesitation.

Whether you succeed or fail, look at the road you want to take in front of you, keep going all the way, don't hesitate, don't be confused, until you reach the end, whether it is the radiant light or the endless darkness of the abyss, it is all a battle. There is no regret.

On December 13, 2013, after defeating the Grizzlies, a strong team in the Western Conference, the Seattle SuperSonics visited New York as a guest to face the New York Knicks led by Kyrie Irving.

Compared with the Grizzlies' "all-out" effort that only finished 58 in the final quarter, this game with the Knicks was much simpler and easier.

The boss of the New York Knicks is an acquaintance.

New York Knicks head coach Mari Rose is a former Sonics assistant coach.

Although the Knicks fought hard in this game, they also played with great joy.

The main reason is Irving, the boss of the Knicks. He is really tough in this game. He will face the SuperSonics in a row from the beginning.

This intention is completely undisguised.

And what is very surprising is that Irving's coquettish dribbling and coquettish one-on-one really made Leonard, Kevin Durant, James Harden and Antetokounmpo quite uncomfortable.

Although the Sonics' four starting starters were not inexplicably skewered by Curry like they faced Curry.

But they also failed to guard Curry.

The four of them challenged Irving to a one-on-one fight, and it was a 50-50 draw with Irving.

And they could clearly see that Owen's challenge to them was just a warm-up.

Irving's real target is Yes.

Finally, after warming up, Irving approached Ye Si.

And the final result is, of course, self-evident.

"You overestimate your capabilities!"

After the game, looking at Irving who looked shocked, Mr. Long looked disdainful.

But in addition to Rondo, whether it is Durant, Leonard, James Harden or Antetokounmpo, they all have very high evaluations of Irving.

"Like Curry, he was tortured so badly by Yes, not because they were not strong enough, but because Yes was too strong!"

"Kyrie should be the best ball-handler in NBA history besides Yes."

This is Durant's evaluation.

He is a very old-school player, and all his idols are old-school stars. Kobe, McGrady, Iverson, and Carter are all his idols.

In the past, he always felt that Iverson and Jordan were the strongest ball-handling players in the NBA after Yeas.

But now, he thinks Irving is the one.

If it weren't for Yes, Irving would be the worst player in NBA history!

and……

"I always feel that Owen's style is somewhat similar to Yes."

"I feel the same way."

Are they all the same to the depths?

Don't know about this.

Because the Knicks' head coach and leading players are from Seattle.

The relationship between everyone is very good.

Not to mention the mentor-disciple relationship between Malikros and Nelson.

It can be said that the relationship between Durant and Irving is quite strong.

Durant is a very aloof person.

He doesn't have that many friends in the NBA.

And Owen is definitely one of his best friends.

Two duel maniacs, they would start a duel when they had nothing to do in Seattle.

Before meeting Ye Si in this game, the player Irving admired most was Durant. In the past, Irving admired Kobe the most. After playing one-on-one with Durant, he felt that Durant should be better than Kobe in one-on-one. So the player I admired the most changed.

Owen's character is also a bit strange. If you want to gain his respect, you have to confront him head-on.

This is almost exactly the same as Beasley back then.

With Irving's ball-handling and one-on-one abilities, coupled with his pride, I'm afraid there aren't many players in the entire history of the NBA that he can truly respect.

I heard that James also scouted Irving when he participated in the draft.

The Cavaliers had so many bargaining chips, and the Knicks had Chen Jianghua and Jeremy Lin at the time, and didn't have much desire for a point guard. If the Cavaliers really wanted to give up, the Knicks would be willing to trade the No. 1 pick.

But later, after having a private contact with Irving, James, who came to take advantage of the situation, left with a dark face.

As for what happened privately between James and Irving.

Neither of them said anything externally.

However, according to media reports, Irving does not seem to like James as much as he likes Durant and Kobe. This makes James quite embarrassed.

As for what happened privately between Irving and James, Durant and most of the Sonics players knew about it. In fact, it was similar to what was reported in the media.

After all, although Irving and James didn't talk about it, there were so many people around during the one-on-one duel between James and Irving.

James wants to conquer Irving, and Irving is also a person who doesn't like too many beeps. If you want to conquer me, you can, just hit me head-on.

In the final result, although James won in the end, he was quite humiliated.

Originally, he wanted to play with Irving's skills. James boasted that his skills were very good at that time, and Irving was a rookie. Although his skills have always been praised, they are limited.

But who would have thought that Irving's skills have reached such an incredible level.

James, who didn't want to lose, could only use his brute force in the end.

James at his peak, pushing his tank to beat Irving, imagine this scene.

It would be strange if Owen was convinced.

After the final duel, looking at Irving's cold and disdainful eyes, James himself felt bored and lose face.

I came here originally hoping to pretend to be 13 and take in a younger brother, but I didn't expect that I would be despised in the end.

In the end, James could only leave with a dark face.

"This kid is just like Beasley, and he is not compatible with me!"

This is what James said when he left.

Owen is indeed a very interesting boy.

In today's new generation of basketball, there are actually not many old-school players like Irving.

After playing familiar Kyrie Irving in the New York Knicks, the Seattle SuperSonics extended their winning streak and streak of 58 games to 23 games.

On December 15th, the Seattle SuperSonics continued to visit Denver as a guest.

This is another familiar team.

Avery Bradley leads the Nuggets.

In the last game against the Nuggets, Bradley made Leonard famous.

In this game against the Seattle SuperSonics, it was obvious that Bradley's iron character naturally did not let go of his resentment towards Leonard.

However, this time Bradley did not have an extreme one-on-one duel with Leonard.

Instead, relying on the cover of his teammates, coupled with his comprehensive ability and excellent running ability, Bradley wanted to take advantage of his small size and speed to sneak past Leonard.

This play is indeed quite smart.

After all, the attacking side takes the initiative.

Bradley avoiding Leonard and sneaking up on Leonard really made Leonard feel a little uncomfortable.

However, in turn, Bradley felt even more uncomfortable.

When attacking, he can sneak around Leonard and avoid Leonard.

But defense ...

Leonard's game in this game is unlimited pick-and-rolls with James Harden, and unlimited attacks on Bradley alone.

Bradley's defense is excellent, top-notch, and he defends first-team defenders, but the height gap between him and Leonard is too big.

Therefore, this game was originally about regaining ground and face.

The final result was that after the game, the field and face were still not recovered.

You attack and avoid being hit, but people attack and directly look for you to hit. The senses are really different.

Do we have to wait until the Year of the Monkey to regain our position?

It's just obvious that Bradley can't stand it now that Leonard has always used himself as a gunman.

Especially seeing the SuperSonics becoming more and more prosperous now, Bradley can't even swallow this breath.

"Captain, please don't persuade me. I worked so hard before co-writing and now I'm blowing the cold wind on the plateau. This kid Kawhi is hiding behind me and staying in Seattle to be a popular drinker?"

"If I knew he was so strong, I wouldn't have done anything in college and would have just pretended to be dead!"

"This guy is so unreasonable!"

Bradley was still aggrieved after the game.

Ye Si actually wanted to say that this was all a misunderstanding, and how could Leonard be as dark as he thought.

If you don’t believe Leonard, can you still believe your captain’s vision?

However, after Ye Si persuaded him like this, Bradley became even more angry for some reason.

Why was Avery, who was so well-behaved before, so disobedient now?

"Is the rebellious period delayed?"

Ye Si was puzzled.

After defeating the Nuggets in an away game and ending this long streak of away games and returning to Seattle, the league announced the first-round voting results for the 2014 All-Star Game.

As soon as the results came out, the entire league was once again in a state of shock!
