Chapter 542: A Way to Prove Yourself!

"Yes, in the first half, he only made 1 of 4 three-pointers and scored 8 points?!"

Looking at the data in his hand, Barkley felt incredible.

Because yes's presence was indeed not very high in the first half.

Facing Battier's defense, yes didn't hold the ball that much.

In previous SuperSonics games, Yes spent almost three-fifths of the time holding the ball to launch attacks, and Rondo spent the remaining two-fifths.

But in the first half, yes probably didn't even hold the ball for one-third of the time!

Not only did he take few shots, he even passed very few passes to Durant and his teammates.

In this year's All-Star Game, yes took very few shots. Even before overtime, yes took zero shots!

But in the All-Star Game, yes provided 30 assists to his teammates in the first four quarters!

But what about this game?

Yes scored 8 points in the first half and only had three assists.

"This game is the first SuperSonics game in which Rondo's assists to Durant were more than yes's assists to Durant!"

Facing Carter's defense like Fisher, Durant's offensive performance in the first half was actually quite uncomfortable.

It's hard to get the ball out of Leafs' hands.

If it weren't for the cooperation between him and Rondo that opened up in this game, he could only rely on his own singles with the ball to create opportunities in this game.

"In the first half of this game, it can be seen that yes did intentionally let Durant hold the ball in singles and break through, which allowed him to give away part of his ball rights. However, this is not the case in yes's game. The reason why we had so little possession of the ball in the first half of the game!”

"In the first half of this game, Battier defended Yes very well. He was able to break through Battier's defense with the ball and shoot mid-range shots against big men like Oden and Gasol. Like he did when he faced O'Neal in the All-Star Game, but he had no such intention at all in this game, which is strange!"

"Can he beat O'Neal in the mid-range?

Can't beat Oden or Gasol in the mid-range? ! "

This is weird, okay!

Just like the difficult goals that yes made against O'Neal in the All-Star Game, yes can shoot any player in the mid-range!

Barkley and Kenny Smith now look back in disbelief on the first half of the game.

Not only Barkley and Kenny Smith, but the TNT broadcast team are also quarreling fiercely now.

The development in the first half of this game was really abnormal!

Battier's defense is one of the best among the league's outside players, but Battier's defense is clearly the same as Arenas' defense in the All-Star Game. Yes, he directly picked up the breakthrough, and in Oden and Just pull it out in front of Gasol and that's it.

Can Oden and Gasol do better than O'Neal in the All-Star Game?

How can this be!

Even if yes faced Oden and Gasol in this game and did not face O'Neal's divinely assisted 10-for-10 shooting, even if it was only 5-for-10, according to the defensive intensity and scoring efficiency of the two teams in this game, it would still be enough. Let Battier and the Grizzlies defense pay the price.

But what is puzzling is that yes has no such plan at all.

"Is Yes really not that good in the mid-range, or is he just trying to make room for Durant to break through?!"

Yes's mid-range is not that good, yes's is not that perfect?

yes is cultivating Durant's breakthrough ability, and yes is cultivating Durant's finishing ability at the basket. Do you need to provide Durant with enough breakthrough space?

Which reason is it?

This is the focus of the current debate among the TNT group.

As the most licking fan in the TNT team, Pippen is of course on the side of Leafs who is cultivating Durant.

"Guys, when we question yes's strength based on the half-time game, don't forget that yes faced perhaps the most difficult mid-range defense in history in the All-Star Game, and made ten consecutive mid-range shots. In the end, yes As a player who also completed a buzzer-beating game, I can truly tell you that Michael will never be able to do what yes did in the All-Star Game!"

"Ten out of ten in overtime, scoring 20 points in overtime and completing the buzzer beater, this is not something that can be achieved by luck. To do this requires more strength than luck!"

"I dare not say whether yes's mid-range strength has completely surpassed Michael's, but I dare say that in the entire league now, no one's mid-range strength can surpass yes!"

"Also, guys, don't forget that in order to train Rondo last season, Yes almost completely gave up his ball-holding ability and his ball control. You also questioned Yes' ball control at that time. Now, Do you still question it?"

"Yes is the most selfless player in history. This not only means that Yes is willing to pass the ball for everyone, but more importantly, he is willing to sacrifice what he is best at for his teammates to cultivate and cooperate with his teammates!"

"Without yes completely sacrificing his ball-handling and ball-handling last season, would Rondo have grown to the point where he became a skills competition champion this season?"

"In this game, Yes allowed Durant to hold the ball more and make more breakthroughs. This is obvious. If Yes also breaks through with Durant, goes to the mid-range, and makes layups under the basket, then the Grizzlies will Other players will definitely shrink completely, and Durant will not have any chance to break through. Then there is no need to give the ball to Durant in this game, and there will be no value in cultivating Durant in this game. !”

"Guys, when you were passionately discussing the outcome of this game, yes had already jumped out of the game. He had already stood at a higher level than you imagined, understanding and dominating the game. Just like he did in the All-Star Game, he can defeat the Eastern Conference without the help of Nash and Yao Ming. In this game, even if he gives up the ball and gives up the mid-range area to cultivate Durant, he can also defeat the Eastern Conference. Can lead the Sonics to victory!"

"You watched the first half of the game and you were questioning yes's mid-range strength, but what I saw was yes's confidence and yes's strength!"

"Scott, of course I can understand your thinking. The possibility you mentioned is also a possibility, but you can't deny our other possible guess!"

"We have never questioned yes's mid-range strength. You are right. Yes's result when facing O'Neal in the All-Star Game cannot be explained by luck. He needs to have enough strength."

"But, Scott, you have to understand that the issue we are discussing now is that we admit that yes has enough strength in the mid-range. With 80% strength and 100% luck, we can do what yes can do in the All-Star Game. Just like if Nick Young had enough luck in a certain game, he might become Kobe."

"We think yes's mid-range strength is 80. He had enough luck in the duel with O'Neal, so he succeeded. But in this game, he didn't think he had enough luck, so he didn't dare to use 80. It is normal to have the strength to challenge Oden and Gasol. You must know that luck and touch are things that no one can see or touch. Just talk about the All-Star Game. If it is not a desperate situation, yes will be in the first 48 minutes. The mid-range shot is also zero!"

"Yes, when it came to overtime, he was forced to take action. In the end, it proved that he was indeed very lucky in that game."

"So, Scott, I respect yes's mid-range strength, but I think his mid-range is definitely not as high as 99 that you think can tie with Jordan!"

"If it were Jordan, facing the defense of Arenas in the All-Star Game and Battier in this game, he would never take any shots from the mid-range!"

"Man, I also respect your opinion. I have been emphasizing that don't forget what yes did last season. Yes's strength does not need to be questioned, just like Michael's strength does not need to be questioned. They are Players of the same level!”

"No, I don't think so. Yes's strength doesn't need to be proven, but whether his mid-range strength really reaches 99 does need to be proven!"

In tnt's studio, tnt's talented group once again created a lot of hype that no one could convince anyone.

This scene in the TNT studio hall stunned the American audience in front of the TV.

Whose guess is correct?

The concepts on both sides are very reasonable.

It's just obvious that as one of the ordinary spectators watching this game, Jordan's mood is not so entangled now.

"This guy Pi Er!"

This guy still deserves a beating!

Looking at the thin black man on TV who kept mentioning his name and had a faint slap mark on the left side of his face, Jordan looked quite ugly.

This guy Pi Er hasn't been beaten enough!

If you want to prove yes's mid-range strength, go ahead and prove it. Do you have to mention my name? !

but……

Jordan is also quite surprised now.

In the first half of this game, he could see two points aside from those controversies.

The first point is that in this game, Yes deliberately assigned its ball rights to Durant.

The second point is that yes encourages Durant to become a more comprehensive scorer.

For these two points, yes did not hesitate to hold the ball less in the first half and only took four shots.

No one would believe it.

Compared to the speculation and analysis of other experts on tnt.

Jordan feels that although this guy Pi Er is annoying, his point of view should be right.

The reason why yes had such an offensive choice in the first half was not because he was not strong enough in the mid-range, but because he was sacrificing for Durant!

Since Yes has already sacrificed so much for Durant, why can't he sacrifice more?

It's not like Yes has never done something like this before. Pi Er also said that last season Yes gave up all the ball rights for Rondo.

Just as Yes showed his ability to hold and control the ball after the playoffs with the Spurs, that is the league's top ball control ability!

For Rondo, yes, even the top player in the league, according to nbalive2008's rating, can sacrifice at least 95 points or above in skills. Why can't he sacrifice his mid-range shooting, which also has at least 95 points or above, for Durant?

If it were anyone else, Jordan wouldn't think so, but if this person is yes, it's different.

Although he doesn't like the unscrupulous media who like to use yes to criticize him.

But he recognized yes's strength very much.

This is the only defender in NBA history so far who can compare with him in terms of strength!

He doesn’t believe that a player who can be his equal is a bluffing ‘five’!

but……

"One thing these guys are right about is that yes needs to prove that he does have 99% mid-range ability!"

Although Jordan is willing to believe that yes has 99% mid-range ability, yes has not proven that the game with O'Neal did have a lot of luck.

In the heat map of yes's shooting given by tnt just now, his hot spot in the mid-range is a little weak.

The game between the Grizzlies and SuperSonics is an important game that the entire NBA is watching.

There was another controversial discussion in this important game.

For the viewers and coconut fans who are following this game right now, it’s enough to get the coconut flour and coconut black hype going.

It's just obvious that for the SuperSonics players, yes is of course 100% sacrificing for Durant!

Is this even a guess?

I didn’t see the look in Durant’s eyes that was so moved that he almost cried after entering the locker room!

This morning, yes just encouraged him to be a comprehensive scorer like Jordan. In tonight's game, yes immediately used his actual actions to give him 'unlimited firing rights', 'unlimited turnover rights', 'unlimited ball rights' and "Unlimited space rights".

In order to train him, Yes, the most powerful player in NBA history, actually became a role player next to him on the court!

What kind of sacrifice is this?

This is much greater than what Sloan of the Jazz did to Deron!

He is not a white-eyed wolf like Delong, how could he not be moved!

Moreover, even if yes doesn't do this, he has been moved by yes before and is willing to die for yes.

Now, not only is he willing to die for yes, but he can even let yes choose the way he wants to die!

Facing the eyes of Durant who was moved to tears, and the eyes of respect and admiration from other Sonics players, Ye Si didn't care.

He was thinking about Battier's defense against him in the first half.

Although he decided to play like this in the first half before the game started, he would give up the space in the mid-range and under the basket to Durant.

But Shane didn't know.

Obviously, before Battier made such a defensive decision tonight, Battier really believed that his mid-range was a relative weakness.

Shane was able to discover this, which really surprised Yes.

Yess has always paid attention to protecting his weaknesses. When facing Bowen and O'Neal, Yess showed his mid-range ability crazily.

But obviously, the frequency is too low!

Most of his mid-range shots this season were shots taken without the ball and out of the open space, and a small number were taken against Bowen and O'Neal. When he was holding the ball and when he was not open, he almost never made mid-range shots. .

Maybe people who don't pay attention can't find it, but those who are interested can find some clues.

Obviously, Shane is serious!

Now that Shane has discovered his 'weakness'.

In order to remain perfect, he certainly needs to prove it.

So what can be used to prove that his mid-range shot is also perfect and top-notch?

CIC: 81/(90).

Ye Si's slightly frowned brows quickly relaxed.

Although his mid-range shooting is indeed not above 95, there are still ways.
