Chapter 544: Only the Second Game?
"Kill!"
"yes used his only mid-range shot in the game at the last second to kill yes!"
"Yes waited for Battier's defense to return and used his mid-range shot to kill Battier!"
Barkley was roaring, Kenny Smith was stunned.
The media reporters from all over the United States and the experts and celebrities in the TNT studio were shocked and silent!
Yes actually gave him the winning chance in this game to CIC? !
And he still waited for Battier's defense to hit the mid-range shot? !
When yes broke through Battier and Oden was hesitating whether to let go of Milicic to help defend, yes had the opportunity to take a mid-range shot from an open position.
Just like he did in previous games, according to the halftime break, tnt's data analyst used the Sanders Index to calculate, 85% of yes' previous mid-range shots were low-intensity or low-intensity defensive intensity above 50%. A shot without intensity!
But this time, why didn't yes act like he always did, but chose to wait for Battier's defense to return?
Obviously, yes is responding to Shane's provocation!
Use the most domineering defense to respond to Battier's provocation and the world's doubts!
This is a winning goal!
There is only one chance for such a shot!
Without absolute certainty, would Yes dare to wait for Shane there? !
I missed this shot. Let’s not talk about the outcome of this game. Tomorrow will be bloody!
In this case, yes still chose to wait for Battier's defense to return!
Such a choice is really shocking!
"Guys, I just said, yes is not because the mid-range is not good. You see, in the entire league, facing a defensive player of Battier's level, who dares to make an offensive choice like yes?"
"You asked me before why the mid-range before yes was some open mid-range.
I haven't answered yet, it's not that I can't answer, it's not that I can't answer, it's just that I don't want to answer! "
"I'm not questioning your IQ, but sometimes you really need to imagine, hypothetically, I mean hypothetically, hypothetically, if yes's field goal percentage is not above 63% this season, can the Seattle SuperSonics have the record they have now? ? With Durant, the so-called scoring champion, scoring 35 points in 32 shots, can he have such a record? "
"If it weren't for Yes's shooting percentage of over 63% this season, could Yes be able to equalize Durant's shooting percentage of less than 40%?"
"If it weren't for Yes's 63% shooting percentage this season, could Yes have turned such an inefficient Durant into Pippen or even Jordan?"
"it's out of the question!"
"Yes can shoot 50% from mid-range in the face of difficult defenses like Jordan, but 50% is not enough for the Sonics to achieve such a record, and it is not enough to make the combination of Yes and Durant look good. They are the best offensive perimeter combination in NBA history!"
"As the leader of that Bulls team back then, I can tell you very clearly that if Michael and Durant wanted to achieve such a record, he would not be able to take action as he wanted when he was with the Bulls. If he With Durant, if you want to achieve such a record, you have to learn to give up your offensive skills and shot count like yes, and instead pursue the highest efficiency!"
"Guys, it's not that yes can only shoot those open mid-range shots, but the strength of the Seattle SuperSonics makes yes have to choose such a cautious shot!"
"As a leader, Yes's calmness, selflessness and dedication are something I have never seen before, not even in Michael!"
"Facing a provocation like Battier's, Michael would have taken desperate measures. Even if he lost the game or even if Durant died, he would prove how powerful he is. I believe that with Michael He will score 63 points in this game, just like he did in the playoffs, he has proven his strength, but he will lose the game!"
"And yes, he is enduring his own pain, and he is cautiously making sacrifices for the team's victory without any regrets. He wants to prove himself, but he does not want to take up the team's opportunities. In this game, when he encounters When Battier's provocation and the Grizzlies questioned, yes only gave himself one chance. How big a risk was this? If he didn't have absolute strength, how could he make such a choice in this game?!"
"According to my understanding, even Michael doesn't have the guts to do something like yes and wait for Shane to complete the buzzer-beating game!"
"Don't forget, Battier's eye-sealing defense is one of the biggest threats to young players. Even a veteran like Michael, who has played in six finals, cannot ignore such an intimidating defense!"
"A veteran like Michael can't use Battier's eye-sealing defense as air, and yes certainly can't do it either!"
"So, you said before that Michael's mid-range shooting is 99. I admit it. At the same time, I also hope you can admit that yes's mid-range shooting is definitely 100!"
In the TNT studio hall, Pippen was making an impassioned speech.
The excited Pippen seemed to regard himself as the one who completed the game-winner.
Jordan, who was in front of the TV, looked at the split screen with Barkley's roar on one side and Pippen's roar on the other. Jordan's face looked ugly.
If Pi Er doesn't comment now, he won't comment if he steps on him!
He admitted that he really couldn't ignore Battier's blind defense.
Battier's eye-sealing defense has almost zero defensive intensity against defensive players.
There was no physical contact or physical confrontation, just intimidation.
But faced with such intimidation, most people would really rather face strong defenses.
Therefore, what this guy Pi Er said is right. A person like him who has played in six finals cannot ignore Battier's eye-sealing defense. Of course, a young man like yes who has not played in a single finals can also ignore it. .
So if Yes really doesn't have absolute confidence, he will take a shot from mid-range when Oden hesitates before Battier's defense arrives.
Even if the last open mid-range shot fails to prove his mid-range strength, it will reduce the controversy, a lot.
But yes finally chose the hardest way.
Under Battier's eye-sealing defense, he killed the person who provoked him, and he used mid-range!
overbearing!
This is indeed like what Barkley said, this is the domineering style of yes.
And yes's super domineering style is also supported by his super strength.
Jordan never questioned yes's mid-range strength.
But he never thought that yes would have such a choice in the end.
Just like Pi Er said, he wouldn't have such a choice.
If you follow Pi Er's logic, yes's mid-range strength is indeed a little stronger than him.
However, even if this is true, Pi Er, what do you think?
Uncle Qiao has lost his face!
What's more, even if your logic is correct, this is still one time!
There is always an accident.
Maybe it's because yes's luck is so good, and because he is really reckless, he was lucky enough to hit the killer shot this time? !
This is possible!
Therefore, although there is no problem with Pi Er's logic, the derivation samples are not enough. Therefore, there is no way to prove with this sample whether yes is sufficient in mid-range strength or whether it exceeds him!
Even if you add in the previous samples of facing O'Neal, it's not enough!
At least yes, you have to produce five or six such samples to prove it, right?
If yes gives itself a chance to prove every game, and then hits every game, and the number of samples exceeds five, then this will infinitely reduce the impact of feel and luck during that period, and that is the true manifestation of strength!
Even if no one is defending, it is impossible to hit 10 straight mid-range shots every game.
Even he can't do it!
If yes can do it, he will admit that yes's mid-range shot is better than his.
Now it's just two times.
Pippen couldn't wait to press yes on his head. This guy really doesn't care about eating but not fighting!
"Hmph..."
Jordan took a sip of the cigar in his hand, threw it to the ground and stepped on it a few times.
Killed by yes?
And yes was there waiting for him to kill? !
Hearing the "mvp!" sounds from all the SuperSonics fans in the Key Arena, Battier looked very ugly.
His eye-sealing defense was defeated once again!
This is already the second time!
Shane doesn't think he's an idiot.
As one of the players recognized by the league as having the highest football intelligence on the court, even though it has only been twice, he can already draw conclusions.
That means yes is really not afraid of his eye-sealing defense!
Yes, he is really like experienced ruthless players like Jordan and Kobe, who are not afraid of his eye-closing defense!
No, yes is more ruthless than Jordan and Kobe!
He determined that there was absolutely no way Jordan or Kobe could mistake his eye-sealing defense for an open shot.
But yes it can!
Except for the intimidation factor, the eye-sealing defense is indeed no different from the open position.
However, can the intimidation factor be eliminated? !
Dare I ask that player who has no fear of blindness in his heart? !
So, this is very unscientific!
yes can actually ignore the fear caused by his threatening defense!
Is it because of too much experience, playing too many games, or is it really because of a rock-hard heart?
Isn't this obvious?
Yes is just a rookie second-year player who has only played more than 150 NBA games in his career. How much experience does he have that can give him such terrifying game experience?
Therefore, the only explanation is that yes, this is really a cruel man far beyond the cruelty of Kobe and Jordan!
Thinking of this, Shane felt unwilling and afraid at the same time.
Unwillingly, he wants to tell the world that his eye-sealing defense is ineffective against yes, so don't be fooled by yes, he still hasn't proven his mid-range strength!
However, no one would believe it!
Who the hell believes that there are so many people in this world who are more ruthless than Jordan and Kobe? !
Maybe many people have no idea how ruthless Jordan is.
But how ruthless Kobe is? Isn’t it clear enough that he was hanging from the blue frame during the All-Star Game?
This guy is willing to break his legs and hands on the court!
Battier wanted to tell the world that his analysis of yes was correct, but he knew very well that even his teammates and coaches would not believe it!
It was just a representative game that made him famous. He was really unwilling to give in!
It was obvious that he was not wrong, it was obvious that he could enjoy the applause, but it was all ruined by the killer game that was waiting for him!
Although he could feel that neither his teammates nor his coach had any intention of blaming him for the defense just now.
But Battier really couldn't stand the fearful expressions of his teammates and coaches when they looked at "yes"!
But……
When he thought that this guy Yes could deceive someone with his IQ and football IQ to such an extent, Battier was terrified of Yes's golf IQ and IQ.
There is no doubt about yes's talent and strength.
With such strength and talent, as well as such IQ and football intelligence, this guy seems to be a bug!
Just like what the media and experts say, yes’s perfection is impeccable!
Even if he is right that yes is not that strong in the mid-range, it is not that strong, which does not mean it is not strong!
Thinking of this, Shane's expression was still changing.
He is making the final decision.
This game between the Grizzlies and SuperSonics has a great impact.
The Lakers, Nuggets and Spurs have both won before.
So the outcome of this game is very important to both the SuperSonics and the Grizzlies.
After Yeas defeated the Grizzlies, the entire Key Arena was in a state of excitement.
Because at the end of this game, it is basically certain that no matter what happens to the Seattle SuperSonics, it is impossible to fall to seventh place in the Western Conference.
As long as they don't fall out of the top six in the Western Conference, they don't need to face two almost god-like teams like the Rockets and Suns in the first round.
So whether we face the Nuggets, Lakers or Spurs in the first round, there is always the possibility of a battle.
Although the strength is still far inferior, at least there is hope of victory!
"Yes, Battier just said with a smile in an interview that for you, his eye-sealing defense is basically equivalent to an open shot. Is this really the case?"
The fans at Key Arena were very enthusiastic. After partying with the fans, it was already very late and the interviews with Grizzlies players had already ended.
Durant, who was sitting next to Yeez, had an ugly expression on his face when he heard the Houston Chronicle reporter ask this question.
Damn it, you are hinting at it!
At the end of the game, the SuperSonics are certainly aware of the controversy and doubts surrounding Yes' mid-range strength.
Does yes’s strength also need to be questioned?
You are full and have nothing to do, right?
If any of you can say to me with confidence: "I hope you can help me win the championship", then I will allow you to question yes!
If you don’t have the strength, you dare to say that you will take me to compete for the championship?
Damn it, you guys are so crazy!
"I respect Battier's view, and I hope my performance in the future can make him more confident in his defense."
Yes's answer did not quell the controversy caused by Shane Battier's words.
Battier himself admitted that his last defense was almost zero, and any explanation was useless.
Especially on the second day, Jordan, who was surrounded by reporters, pushed the controversy to a higher level.
"Nick Young can play like me in two games, three games, four games, or even five games, but he can't play like me in the sixth and seventh games."
"Michael, are you saying that yes has been very lucky recently?"
"I didn't say that."
"Also, it's only the second game."
After Jordan finished speaking, he left with a smile, leaving behind a bunch of excited reporters.
