Chapter 492: Ye Si's Plan and Bowen's Confidence
"Bowen was too arrogant just now!"
At the end of the first quarter, the Sonics players were quite upset when they got off the court and were provoked by Bowen.
Sitting on the bench and watching the rotation of the two teams on the court, the expression on Ye Si's face was not as serious as it was in the first quarter.
He scored zero points against the Spurs in the first quarter, not because Bowen could really guard him.
Moreover, although what Bowen said to him just now was to provoke him, it was definitely not arrogant.
Just the last bit of stubbornness in being an ATM.
After Bowen played hundreds of games with him in what he said was a dream, Bowen's defense has indeed improved a lot.
Not his progress but real progress.
Although I don't know how Bowen did it, but Bowen's defensive performance in this game really surprised Ye Si.
It's just obvious that no matter how much Bowen's defensive experience improves, his physical talent is still there.
Yeth can easily destroy Bowen on the court if he wants to.
It's just that destroying Bowen is not his priority.
Bowen is an excellent collaborator.
Although Bowen is now a little nervous because of his development, but at the same time, it is getting better and better.
When Yees faced Bowen with three consecutive lore shots in the playoffs last year, he was always worried that Bowen would be slightly doubted by Popovich and the Spurs.
But now, he really doesn't know how Bowen operates.
It can actually make the Spurs trust him more than ever.
It can be said that he is really reluctant to lose such an excellent collaborator as Bowen.
In the first quarter of the game, under Bowen's defense, the reason why he didn't take a single shot was because Bowen also spotted him.
Before he needed to cooperate with Bowen and asked Bowen to cooperate with him, he was the one who took the initiative.
Wherever he wanted Bowen to appear, Bowen had to obediently appear there.
He knows Bowen's physical gifts and defensive ability like the back of his hand.
But now that Bowen's defensive ability has been greatly improved, his formula-like and cooperative methods are not very easy to use.
For example, Bowen is still standing in front of him. He let Bowen stand in front of him last season, so that Bowen can stand in front of him. Stress is negligible.
But the first quarter of this game was different. Bowen appeared in front of him no longer on his own initiative. Although he also had an element of slowing down to allow Bowen to catch up, there were still some elements that Bowen took the initiative to create. posted.
In other words, the defensive pressure on Bowen who appeared in front of him now cannot be ignored.
Throughout the first quarter, he kept jumping up in front of Bowen, and then kept throwing the ball to Durant, who was calculating the degree of Bowen's defensive pressure on him.
According to his estimation in the first quarter, if his current three-point attributes are still the same as last season's playoffs, then his shooting percentage will not be higher than 30% against a defense like Bowen.
But now, his three-pointer attribute is 89!
Now his three-pointer attribute is more than 40 points higher than last season!
Thanks to Bowen's efforts over the past few months,
His defense has been improved, so that his defense is no longer completely acting, but has some real elements, but these real elements are still not so good-looking in front of his current offensive ability.
However, Bowen's defensive improvement is indeed a rather headache.
At least, he can't play Bowen as he pleases now.
In the last season, he could play Bowen from mid-range, short-range, long-range, three-pointers, all-round, and all-round shots.
But now...
As far as his current shooting methods other than three-pointers are concerned, there is no way to use these methods to play Bowen.
For him, though, three-pointers alone are enough for this game.
After all, Popovich and the Spurs are using Bowen to defend him alone in this game.
Moreover, Popovich and the Spurs have pointed out that Bowen has a high degree of trust now, and even the general defense force has been placed on defending other Supersonic players. starter
Now the teammates around Yeth are still expressing their displeasure to Bowen. Although the surrounding Seattle SuperSonics fans are still cheering enthusiastically, it is obvious that they are not as enthusiastic as before the start of the game.
At the end of the first quarter of the game, the score was 20-16, with the Seattle SuperSonics trailing by 4 points.
When he fully observed Bowen's strength in the first quarter of the game and formulated a new method of playing Bowen, the team really relied on Durant's support.
If Durant hadn't made 4 of 11 shots in the first quarter and 4 of 10 three-pointers and scored 14 points in a single quarter, the Seattle SuperSonics would have been miserable after the first quarter of the game.
Don't think that Durant's 4-of-11 field goal percentage is not high.
If you compare the 0-for-9 stats of the rest of the Seattle SuperSonics, it's really not the same thing.
Because Popovich even moved the defensive force away from him in the first quarter, it can be said that the Spurs defensive pressure faced by the Supersonic players on the court is extremely great.
Under such a large defensive pressure, the performance of other Seattle SuperSonics players who made 0 of 9 shots is of course abnormal. No matter what defense they face, taking 9 shots and shooting 0% is abnormal.
But Durant's 4 of 11 shots is definitely a surprise!
In the entire league, facing the Spurs' defense in the first quarter of this game, there are probably not that many players who can make 4 of 10 three-pointers in a single quarter.
It can be said that Yeth is quite satisfied with Durant's performance in the first quarter.
After having Durant by his side this season, his control of the game has really improved qualitatively.
In the last season, facing an opponent like the Spurs, how could he control the game so calmly.
Yeth was very satisfied with the first quarter of the game between the Spurs and the Sonics, and the overall game was still under his control.
After the start of the second quarter, the Seattle SuperSonics played fiercely against the Spurs' rotation under the leadership of Barea, David Lee, Wilkins, Quentin Richardson and Nick Collison.
The Spurs' rotation offense is very good.
Ginobili, Horry, Barry, Bonner, Oberto, this is one of the best rotations in the league.
You need height and height, you need experience and experience, and you need offense and offense, but the defense is a little weaker.
As for the Sonics, in order to cope with the weak defensive loopholes in the Spurs' rotation, Nelson did not include Sessions, Tucker and Kwame Brown in the rotation.
Old Nelson's idea is very simple, that is, to play against the Spurs' rotation!
It is also impossible for Tucker, Sessions and Kwame Brown to prevent the Spurs rotation headed by Ginobili.
At that time, the offense will not come out, and the defense will not be able to defend, it will be quite troublesome.
It's better to go all-in on the Spurs, maybe there is still some chance.
The morale of the Sonics players is very good now, and as long as they have the opportunity, it is possible to perform at a super level.
Facts have proved that old Nelson's judgment is very correct.
After the game entered the rotation time of the second quarter, although the Sonics' rotation was still not the opponent of the Spurs' rotation, the competition between the two sides was very fierce.
I have to say that after more than a season of growth, the Supersonics now have a very good rotation lineup, and can form a lot of different lineups when facing different opponents.
And these lineups are not very weak.
In the competition with the Spurs' rotation lineup, the Seattle SuperSonics' rotation lineup finally lost. The score of the two sides was 14 to 11. The two teams played the rotation lineup for 5 minutes. When I came back, the score on the court had become 34 to 27.
34 to 27!
It's not a difficult score to chase.
For the Sonics fans at the scene, they don't know how many times they have seen Yes lead the team to catch up with more points than this in the key arena.
It's just now... when the starting players of the two teams are back on the field, the Sonics fans at the scene don't have such strong self-confidence.
It's not just that these Sonics fans don't have that strong self-confidence.
Even the national media and journalists in the media table who have always had extraordinary confidence in Yes do not have enough confidence.
In the first quarter, Bowen, the strongest defensive player in history, performed so well!
So good that it shocked the whole world.
After the first quarter of the game between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Spurs, Twitter and Youtube were full of videos of Bowen defending Yees in the first quarter.
Even many fans on the Internet have initiated activities to make Bowen an All-Star.
Although people all over the world know that it is impossible for Bowen to be selected as an All-Star.
It's already January 25th, and Bowen just played his first game of the season.
Whether it is for fairness or otherwise, it is impossible for the league to make Bowen an All-Star.
But regardless of whether Bowen can be selected as an All-Star or not, Bowen only used one quarter of the game to let netizens on the Internet initiate such an activity, and it can be seen how incredible his performance in the first quarter is!
"The existence of Bowen allows Popovich to even use all the defensive power to strangle other supersonic players in the first quarter!"
"If it weren't for Durant's 4 of 10 three-pointers in the first quarter and the Supersonics' excellent defensive performance, Popovich would have led the Spurs to victory in the first quarter!" New 81 Chinese Website Update the fastest computer terminal:
The game restarted in the second quarter, and Barkley, a loyal coconut fan, is now extremely pessimistic.
After being a coconut fan for so long, this game is definitely the most desperate game he has ever seen!
The whole world knows that the Seattle Supersonics were originally supported by Yes alone, but now Yes is actually restricted one-on-one!
How does this make the supersonic play?
Looking at the Yes who is still getting rid of Bowen on the court, Barkley is really desperate now!
"Yes caught the ball!"
Yes got the ball one-on-one like in the first quarter.
Although Bowen's off-ball defense is amazing, it is impossible to limit Yes's reception one-on-one.
Just the moment Yes received the ball, Bowen was already attached to Yes.
According to the choice of Yes in the first quarter, facing an almost perfect defense like Bowen, even if he jumped up, he would only throw the ball to Durant who was already ready to catch the ball!
But? !
"Yes shot?!"
Looking at the near-extreme defense against Bowen on the court, the Yes who came out to catch the ball outside the three-point line actually didn't pass the ball like before, but made a shot? !
It's not just Kenny Smith and Barkley who are extremely surprised now.
Even Popovich on the sidelines was quite surprised.
Do you want to take such an opportunity?
After Popovich was surprised, a smile appeared on his face.
If it weren't for the desperate situation, how could Yes's selfless personality make such a shot?
Bruce this season is stronger than last season!
When Ye Si made a move, Ye Si could clearly feel that the air around him froze, and the entire key arena was eerily quiet!
At this time, Ye Si's eyes were fixed on the beating number!
34...41...51...47...65...
65!
Limited defense, a touch value of 65, and... 89 three-point shooting attributes!
The basketball was drawn from Ye Si's fingertips, and more than 25,000 pairs of eyes in the entire arena were all staring at the basketball flying in the air.
This is Yes's first shot in this game!
According to Bowen's desperate defense against Yes in the first quarter, and the shot that Yes chose just now under the desperate defense.
Anyone who is not a fool knows that this shot is Yes' last struggle!
If the ball fails to hit, then Yes will completely lose the chance to perform a miracle in this game!
Jordan stood up from the sofa the moment Ye Si shot.
Whether he will change to the nearest eighth TV in this game, this goal is almost decisive!
From his professional point of view, Bowen's goal has been perfectly defended!
Just like Bowen's classic defense in the first quarter.
only……
Swipe!
Looking at the hollow basketball on the TV, Jordan's eyes narrowed in anticipation. After a short silence, the TV in front of him immediately heard the huge cheers that had never been seen since the start of the game!
Hit? !
Jordan stared blankly at the Supersonic Nine with his right hand raised high, unable to say a word for a while.
How can this be? !
Redick watched the score on TV. After the first half, the two teams tied at 45-45!
Watching the score on TV, Redick felt a little unsteady holding the glass of low-quality bulk red wine in his hand.
The score of 45 to 45 is not the most terrible.
The most frightening thing is that Yes actually scored in the second quarter, and more than once staged a great shot in front of Bowen!
3 of 7 shots, 12 points!
In the half quarter of the game, he scored 12 points in front of the god-like Bowen!
The happy look on Redick's face was gone.
As for the Spurs' bench in the Key Arena, Popovich looked at the 45-45 score from the sidelines with a little surprise on his face.
Bowen's performance is still perfect.
Forcing Yes to bet on his life, Yes is indeed Yes, and the hit rate of betting on his life is quite good.
"Isn't it just tying? What the whole world sees is Yes's chance to kill us, but what I see is... the goddess of victory is waving to us!"
Popovich smiled as Bowen came off the court.
The score was tied, and no one in the Spurs panicked.
because……
"The game is still in my hands!"
After Bowen finished speaking lightly, he led the Spurs players into the player tunnel.
He can feel that Yes now only dares to shoot three-pointers in the face of his fear!
It only left a powerful back for the hundreds of millions of fans in front of the TV!
