Chapter 1,244 The NBA’s Yes System!
With the Bulls and Warriors winning, all the Eastern and Western conference finals matches have come out.
Compared with the Eastern Conference Finals between the Bulls and Cavaliers, the Western Conference Finals between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Golden State Warriors is certainly a more eye-catching game.
Although before the start of this series, public opinion outside believed that the probability of the Golden State Warriors winning under normal circumstances was 0, but even if there is no possibility of defeating the Seattle SuperSonics, the Golden State Warriors and the previous Nuggets and Mavericks are not. the same.
After all, the probability of winning is 0, and this is normal.
The Golden State Warriors have the ability to turn this series into an abnormal situation!
The strength of the Nuggets and Mavericks cannot even match the fluctuations of the Seattle SuperSonics.
The Golden State Warriors or the Lakers are different. These two teams have the strength to touch the depths of the bottomless abyss of the Seattle SuperSonics. As long as the Golden State Warriors can make the Seattle SuperSonics' game state and method fluctuate, will it still be possible? There is a slight chance of turning normal into abnormal.
What is an abnormal situation?
Of course, the Seattle SuperSonics are short of personnel!
The opponent is stronger and the game is more intense. If you want to control the game, Seattle SuperSonics players have to pay more. If you pay more in the game, unexpected situations will increase greatly.
This will greatly increase the chance of abnormal situations occurring.
As a team like the Golden State Warriors, it is indeed a bit shameful to pin their hopes on winning the series.
But there is no other way. Apart from pinning their hopes on this aspect, the Golden State Warriors really don't know how they should defeat the Seattle SuperSonics.
For Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr, preparation for this series with the SuperSonics can be said to be the easiest.
For the series against the Lakers, his game preparation was very difficult.
Often stay up late, even all night long.
Even for the first round match against the Clippers, he had a lot of preparations.
But in the series against the Sonics, his preparation can really be said to be negligible.
In the playoffs, preparing for your opponent is mainly to find the opponent's weaknesses.
But, what are the weaknesses of the Seattle SuperSonics?
There are no weaknesses.
This team has no weaknesses whatsoever!
A team that truly has no weaknesses.
This is completely different from a team like the Lakers, which has no weaknesses.
The absence of weaknesses between the Lakers and Warriors or Cavaliers is relative. The three teams have both inside and outside, can attack and defend, can break out and shoot, and can play in any game. This is called relative absence of weaknesses.
But the three teams still have some weaknesses that can be exploited by opponents.
Take the Warriors, for example. Curry's defense has always been a weakness that opponents can't exploit and the Warriors can't solve.
Another example is that the Cavaliers' starting players are relatively weak at three-point shooting. Although the team also has excellent three-point shooters, with these three-point shooters, the starting defense will have weaknesses.
Another example is the Lakers. The Lakers' players are overall more complete than the Warriors and Cavaliers, but this team's offense is very unstable. Not only is Kobe Bryant unstable, his condition is better than Jordan's, but his condition is not good, um, um...
There is also Paul George, who is also unstable and in good condition. He is competing with Gay to compete with Gay for the top six forwards in the league. If his condition is not good...
God and ghosts, this is the current situation of the Lakers.
In the game against the Warriors, the most stable players were rookie Magic Johnson and veteran Duncan...
Deron, Kobe, George, and Bynum are all a little bit not so stable.
But the Seattle SuperSonics are different.
The Seattle SuperSonics really didn't even give their opponents any room to exploit any weaknesses!
Speaking of tactics, the Seattle SuperSonics have a five-small tactical system, but because of Yes, this team's one-star shooting and positional warfare are also top-notch.
And in terms of the players' weaknesses.
Antetokounmpo's shooting is indeed not good.
But on the defensive end, you can't let Antetokounmpo go.
His running and cutting are very good, and other Sonics players pass the ball very well.
As long as other SuperSonics shoot well and other teams dare not shrink, Antetokounmpo has a lot of opportunities for air cuts and dunks.
Another example is Yes playing center. His height is a huge problem, but not many people can grasp this problem.
Yes's mobility is too strong, his jumping is strong, his defense is strong, and his strength is strong. It is very difficult for those big centers who are taller than him to use their height advantage to attack him in the paint.
Yes can also pull out to shoot, and use his own defense and strength to hit the opponent's waist. The shooting of these big centers is also very uncomfortable.
Antetokounmpo and Yes already appear to be players with weaknesses.
But such a weakness cannot be grasped at all.
Durant, Leonard and James Harden have no weaknesses in their respective positions and roles that can be caught.
Of course, the Seattle SuperSonics have no weaknesses that the Warriors can exploit.
But Steve Kerr will never underestimate himself.
The Golden State Warriors are different from other teams. The Golden State Warriors are strong enough to pose a threat to the SuperSonics.
For example, Curry is very good in singles. In one-on-one singles, if the opponent double-teams, Curry can pass the ball very well. Without double-teaming, Curry can pick-and-roll and beat the opponent one-on-one.
It can be said that this move is the key to the Warriors defeating the Lakers.
The Lakers frantically caught the Warriors' Curry on defense, but in the end the Lakers lost.
It's because of the Warriors' pick-and-roll.
Curry and Beasley's pick-and-roll, Curry and Yao Ming's pick-and-roll, Curry and Klay's pick-and-roll.
During the game, Curry will pick and roll with whoever has the best touch.
This move is really useless to the Lakers.
Especially when the Lakers have no players who can clearly see how good Curry is, there is no way to defend.
Double teaming is death, guarding one is still death.
For the Lakers, Curry is a bug!
Being able to feel the touch of his teammates, coupled with the singles ability of Yao Ming and Beasley and Klay's shooting ability, Curry can really do whatever he wants when playing against the Lakers.
It can be said that Curry is really strong now!
It is precisely because of this that although he knows that it is difficult to defeat a team like the Seattle SuperSonics in the series without any weaknesses, Cole still has great expectations that the team can make changes in this series. .
As long as there are changes, accidents may occur, and opportunities for the Golden State Warriors may appear at any time!
When the strength is completely inferior to the opponent, waiting for victory is not shabby either.
On May 19, 2014, G1 of the Western Conference Finals between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Golden State Warriors started on time at the Yes Memorial Arena.
This time Curry, who followed the Golden State Warriors to Seattle's Yes Memorial Arena, received warm welcome and cheers from Seattle fans like Klay Thompson and Ray Allen and Bradley Roy before them.
"For Seattle fans, this year's playoffs are really a blessing. In every round of the series, they can meet old friends who remind them of their memories. This year's playoffs have too many teams from Seattle, the University of Washington, and Garfield High School. players appeared in front of them."
Looking at Curry and others on the court who were thanking the Seattle fans present, Barkley said with a smile.
Unlike Barkley on the side who only thinks about this level, Kenny Smith on the side thinks even more.
Nuggets, Mavericks, Warriors, every team that the Seattle SuperSonics encounters has a large number of players from Seattle, the University of Washington, or Garfield High School.
Even if the Seattle SuperSonics don't meet these teams in this year's playoffs, but meet the Clippers in the first round, this team will have Ibaka and Nick Young, and when they meet the Grizzlies, they will have Oden. , it is beneficial to meet the Timberwolves in the second round. The Lakers will be met in the Western Conference Finals, and there will also be Little Magic and others.
"These are not players from the Seattle team, not from the University of Washington team, and not from the Garfield High School team. These are players from the Yes team!"
Kenny Smith's face was very solemn.
When Kenny Smith said this, Barkley was slightly stunned.
"A Yes player?"
It seems like this is really the case.
It is better to call these old friends of Seattle fans or old friends of Coconut fans as players from Seattle team, Washington team or Garfield High School team than to use Yes team.
After all, the Yes team can continue to include those players brought out by Yes in the Chinese team!
Looking at it this way, the influence of Yes players in the NBA is too great, right?
After Kenny Smith introduced the concept of Yes players, Barkley realized how huge the influence of Yes is now in the entire Western Conference, and even the entire NBA.
All eight teams in the Western Conference playoffs have Yes players, and these players are the core players of their respective teams, and most of them are either the current boss or the future boss.
This is quite shocking.
In fact, after Kenny Smith came up with the concept of Yes players, many viewers in front of the TV and NBA players were quite surprised.
It has only been a few years, has Yes already had such a huge influence in the NBA?
Nelson is the old man in the coaching world.
The Yes system in the player world.
Judging from what Kenny Smith said, players from the Yes team are more influential among NBA players than coaches from the Nelson team are more influential among NBA coaches!
"This is where Yes is completely different from other players. Even though he left a lot of players he influenced and trained in the Seattle SuperSonics, the outstanding players he influenced and trained are still all over the league."
"Perhaps, he will become the Cardinal of the players!"
Phil Jackson's words made D'Antoni next to him nodded slightly.
In fact, not only active players, but retired Nash can also be called a Yes player!
In the history of the NBA, there is probably no one other than Yes who can have such a profound impact on so many other players.
When these players retire like Nash and become coaches like Nash, how many batches of Yes players can they train?
Just like the Cardinal, even if the Cardinal passes away, as long as Old Nelson and others, these Cardinal's direct disciples and their disciples are still there, the Cardinal's basketball and philosophy are affecting the entire league.
D'Antoni even feels that Yes will have a greater impact on league players in the future than the Cardinal's impact on coaches!
After all, Yes will definitely have greater achievements in the player field than the Cardinals in the future.
Just when many people in front of the TV were swayed by Kenny Smith's Godfather concept of 'Yes' players, on TV, five players from the Seattle SuperSonics and Golden State Warriors were already standing on the court. .
Yao Ming, Chasing Dreams, Beasley, Klay, Curry.
Yez, Antetokounmpo, Durant, Leonard, James Harden.
Neither the Seattle SuperSonics nor the Golden State Warriors changed their starting players in this game.
The Seattle SuperSonics will definitely not change.
As for the Golden State Warriors, it can be seen that the Golden State Warriors are also quite confident in their lineup.
However, although the starting players of the two teams have not changed.
But when the starting players of the two teams stood on the court, the fans at the scene still let out waves of exclamations.
It was as if something surprising happened to them on the court.
In fact, something happened on the court that surprised the SuperSonics fans on site.
Because at this time, Ye Si's figure appeared in the middle circle of the stadium.
The game started, and it was Ye Si and Chai Meng who jumped the ball in the middle circle!
Forget it about chasing dreams.
Because Yao Ming's current jump ball is too few, the Warriors might as well let Dream Chaser jump. Even if they can't win, they can return to defense faster and save some Yao Ming's energy.
But for the Seattle SuperSonics, it was Antetokounmpo who jumped the ball in the past, but this time, it was actually Yees.
Seeing that it was Ye Si who jumped the ball in this game, Dream Green's eyes lit up as he was about to throw the ball in and admit defeat.
Not only Green, but other Warriors players' eyes were also shining at this time.
In the past, when the ball was jumped, they would retreat before the ball was jumped.
But this time!
"Maybe we can start the game with a fast break!"
Cole on the sidelines was thinking with some anticipation.
The chance of winning Yes in Dream Jump Ball is still very high!
Yes has never skipped the ball, and his height also has advantages.
So soon, Cole signaled the Warriors players on the court to press the formation slightly upward.
In fact, before Cole signaled, the Warriors players on the court were already ready for the opening fast break.
In a game against the SuperSonics, it's important to get a head start!
Not to mention the head start after defeating Yes!
only……
This time, it wasn't the Golden State Warriors who took the lead.
After Ye Si successfully defeated Dream Chaser Green with a jump ball, he directly rushed towards the basket as a center player. After crushing Curry, the only one standing in his sprint route, in the middle, the front was really open. The enclave could not be more open!
When the roaring sound of frame abuse came.
The Warriors players preparing for a fast break before jumping the ball looked at the back of Sonics No. 14 already hanging on the basket, and for a moment they all stared in silence.
Even the fans and commentators at the scene were distracted for a moment.
"Ken, Kenny, this, this is definitely the strongest center fast break in the history of the NBA, right?!"
After Buckley finished speaking in a daze, Kenny Smith subconsciously nodded numbly.
No, it’s not just the strongest center in fast break, it can even be the strongest fast break!
Damn, is this really a center? !
Kenny Smith was completely confused for a moment...
