Chapter 232: No Difference!
“The Yes collapse theory starts again!”
Every time the Sonics lose, there are a lot of public opinions saying Yes and the Sonics will collapse.
This makes Kobe very sad.
At first, he was willing to believe what those unscrupulous experts said.
He recognizes Yes's strength. He has also lost to Yes. Yes is very strong.
However, the strength of the team is the foundation of a team.
The strength of an individual player is very important, but there will always be times when they are exhausted.
He himself is a lone hero, and no one knows better than him the helplessness and sorrow of a single-core team leader.
Even if he recognized Yes's strength, he didn't believe that Yes was stronger than him!
The SuperSonics' current record is 28 wins and 17 losses. What is the concept?
He averaged 35.4 points per game last season, and the Lakers' final record was 45 wins and 35 losses.
The record that Yes leads the team now is even better than the record that he led last season, and much better!
This season, the SuperSonics led by Yes put so much pressure on him that he couldn't even spare any effort or rest.
If you are not careful, you will be overtaken by supersonic speed.
The Lakers' lineup is better than the Sonics, but not as good as the Nuggets.
And even if the Lakers have a better lineup, it's not enough to achieve a record of 29 wins and 16 losses in the Western Conference.
This is the result of his hard work!
Last season he averaged 27.2 shots per game.
This season, his average number of shots per game reached 28!
He averaged 28 shots per game and averaged a 44.5% field goal percentage. He took 0.8 more shots per game and his field goal percentage dropped by 0.5%. His scoring average was only the same.
What does this mean?
Kobe knew it.
This means that he is also tired!
He would actually have a day when he was tired from forging iron? !
Kobe himself thought it was amazing.
Yes If this doesn't collapse, then it's really unreasonable.
The Lakers' ranking this season doesn't matter. They can't catch up with the top five in the Western Conference. The Rockets, Mavericks, and Suns are the top three in the Western Conference. The Lakers are worthy of defeating anyone.
To him, throwing is the same regardless of whether it is thrown or not.
The ranking doesn't matter, but it must not be lower than the Sonics!
Now Yes has replaced James as the exclusive player for those unscrupulous experts to hack him.
If his record this season is ranked behind Yes, he will be hacked out of the universe by those unscrupulous experts!
With a 'strong' team like the Lakers, if his record couldn't beat even the rookie Yes, he would feel embarrassed even if he didn't need to be criticized by these unscrupulous experts.
Yes is a ruthless person, but this is the first time Kobe has encountered such a ruthless person.
Kobe was more willing to believe this time than before.
Yes, it’s really time to collapse!
Because the SuperSonics' schedule this time is really bad.
On February 3rd, they will face the Chicago Bulls at home.
After beating the Bulls, the Eastern Conference road trip begins.
Go to New Jersey to play the Nets on February 5th, and play the Wizards back-to-back on February 6th.
Kidd of the Nets has recently been saying that the person he admires most is Rondo. He will let Rondo and Yes see how players of their type affect the game in New Jersey.
Arenas of the Wizards is also gearing up for Yes.
Kobe believed in Arenas' strength even more.
In today's league, there are only a few people who can score points and win with him under his full strength, and Arenas is one of them.
This season Arenas came to Staples to score points with him, and almost got a 60+ triple-double in front of him!
60 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists!
The two scored points all the way to overtime.
In the overtime, Arenas was still alive and kicking, and a combination of punches directly knocked him out.
It's overtime, but we can still score 16 points. I can't accept it.
After playing the Wizards, the Sonics will play the Pacers on February 8. The Pacers' Rick Carlisle is recognized by the league as an expert in dealing with Yes!
Carlisle was the first coach in the NBA to end Yes' blame-shifting system.
The Bulls, Nets, Wizards, and Pacers are not as strong as the Mavericks and Rockets.
But the Bulls have Ben Wallace, the Nets have Kid Carter, the Wizards have Arenas, and the Pacers have Carlisle.
These are ruthless people who can deal with Yes!
"The last time the Bulls and Sonics played against each other, Ben Wallace was unfamiliar with Yes and was beaten by Yes. This time it will definitely be different!"
Kobe still trusts Ben Wallace.
Although the shadow of the 2004 finals has been completely gone, the memory is still profound!
"I have watched all the last ten games of Yes, and I will treat this game with the attitude of the finals!"
Kobe Bryant believed what Ben Wallace said in his pregame interview.
The last time they were eliminated by Yes in Chicago, the entire Bulls team took a breath.
This also includes Ben Gordon, known as ‘Chicago Yes’.
Ben Gordon doesn't have that much resentment.
The last time they played against Yes, the Bulls were most blackmailed after the loss by Ben Wallace.
Although he is Yes's opponent, Yes is mainly targeting Wallace.
This is amazing!
Most people, not even Kobe, would take the initiative to confront Ben Wallace.
As for Yes, he really admires this!
He beat Ben Wallace so hard.
No one knows better than him how hard Ben Wallace has worked hard to prepare for this game against the Sonics!
As Chicago's Yes, he's been simulating Yes' offense in front of Ben Wallace lately.
Ben Wallace said he would approach this game with a Finals attitude.
This is not just talk.
Not only the finals, but also Ben Wallace’s most proud attitude in the 2004 finals!
After Ben Wallace came to the Bulls and got a big contract, he rarely had such fighting spirit.
And with Ben Wallace with such a fighting spirit, even if his ability declines slightly, he is still very scary.
The Bulls' fighting spirit is very strong, and Ye Si can feel it from a distance.
Especially Ben Wallace, who was standing opposite Milicic and preparing to jump ball with Milicic. This Bulls player he was extremely familiar with was not focused on the jump ball with Milicic at all.
Staring at him intently.
This look was very familiar to Ye Si.
After watching thousands of games, can you not be familiar with it?
Bulls coach Skiles was also very satisfied with the look in Ben Wallace's eyes.
That's why he paid big bucks to lure Ben Wallace from the Pistons.
What he wants is such a big man with fighting spirit, not a veteran who comes to provide for his retirement!
This is the first time he has seen Ben Wallace at full strength in the Bulls!
All-out Ben Wallace vs All-out Yes!
Scales is looking forward to it!
There was no suspense on the jump ball between Milicic and Ben Wallace.
Milicic easily defeated Ben.
After Ben lost the jump, he retreated without even looking at Milicic.
Big Ben's attention is not on Milicic at all.
"Big Ben is eyeing Yes for this game!"
“Today’s big book is the real big book!”
Rondo dribbled the ball across half court. Looking at the ferocious Big Ben and Ye Si throwing away Ben Gordon, Rondo was a little worried.
"Yes, I want to continue to challenge the big book!"
Yes is asking for the ball, and he has to give it to him.
That's Ben's assisting defense area!
"This time, you won't succeed!"
Won't succeed?
Go out, catch the ball, take off, and make a picturesque shot!
Almost at the moment when Ben's block came, Ye Si threw the basketball in his hand.
With a snap, 2 to 0!
“Nothing different”
No difference? !
