Chapter 548 The 6th Ultimate Kill!

"The game begins!"

In this game between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Denver Nuggets at home, the game officially started as the referee Bavetta threw the basketball in his hand high.

In this game, it was Camby and Milicic who jumped the ball in the center circle.

The SuperSonics' starting lineup for this game is center Milicic, power forward Millsap, small forward Durant, and guards Yeos and Rondo.

The Denver Nuggets' starting lineup is center Camby, power forward Kenyon Martin, small forward Anthony, shooting guard Hamilton, and point guard Billups.

Nene, who had just returned from injury in this game, sat on the bench.

As one of the Four Kings in the jump ball world, Milicic and Camby are quite close in jump ball strength.

Although Camby is not young anymore, he is 34 years old this year, but Camby still averages 3.5 blocks per game this season and still averages 13 rebounds per game.

Camby is definitely one of the most athletic players at the center position in the league.

Coupled with rich experience, Camby's jump ball ability is quite amazing.

In the jumping ball world, he is also a king-level figure!

But this time, with the support of all Sonics fans in the audience, Milicic finally defeated Camby.

Milicic succeeded in jumping the ball, and Rondo held the ball and prepared to launch a fast break.

As soon as Yes was about to start a fast break, Hamilton next to Yes and Billups standing in the Nuggets backcourt sandwiched him in an angle.

"What an amazing understanding!"

Billups and Hamilton's individual defense has never been discussed as top players by other expert media in the league.

When people discuss top defensive players, they always like to discuss Yes, Bowen, Kobe and others.

Hamilton and Billups are habitually ignored.

In fact, the individual defense of these two men is indeed not top-notch.

But...if the two appear as a combination, their collaborative defense capabilities are definitely the strongest!

In terms of individual defensive capabilities, the Lakers backcourt combination of Kobe and Kidd is the strongest in the league.

But in terms of collaborative defensive capabilities, the combination of Hamilton and Billups is the strongest!

Seeing Hamilton sticking to Ye's side on the court, Billups just took a step to the right to block Ye's acceleration path. This timing, this coordination, this tacit understanding, even Nelson on the sidelines felt a little bit. Incredible.

Based on Nelson's understanding of Yes, as long as Billups and Hamilton don't have such a tacit understanding, Yes can directly get rid of Hamilton and accelerate!

At that time, whether Yes goes straight to the basket or stops outside the three-point line and pulls up, it will be a very good opportunity.

But now, just as yes was about to start, it stopped.

Rondo finally gave up the idea of ​​passing the ball and changed from fast passing to slowly advancing forward.

This also allows Camby, who just jumped the ball with Milicic, to calmly return to the defensive position.

In the league, because many teams are afraid of the SuperSonics' opening counterattack, the centers of many teams give up jumping balls against the SuperSonics and directly return to defense.

If the Sonics try their best to compete with the SuperSonics on the jump ball, they will probably be counterattacked because the team's center's defense is not in place.

But now, the Nuggets can actually use the coordinated defense of Billups and Hamilton to easily break the crisis after a jump ball with the SuperSonics.

This is really surprising.

Under Hamilton's close defense, Yess had already arrived outside the Nuggets' three-point line. Billups looked at the defensive positions of the team behind him and gave up on cooperating to defend Yes, and faced him. Rondo advanced with the ball.

Facing a pressing defense like Billups, Rondo didn't panic.

The second master still doesn’t understand much about shooting.

But the second master has never been afraid of controlling the ball.

Neither Billups nor Jason Kidd, his successor, have ever made him afraid.

Isn't it just press defense?

The second master is really afraid that you won’t press hard!

Dude, are we showing off here? !

Rondo really wants to show off his ball-handling skills with Billups here.

What left Rondo quite speechless was that after Billups forced him a little, he quickly withdrew and retreated to a position not far from his front and Yes's side.

Billups's skillful operation made Rondo stunned for a while.

After being stunned for a moment, Rondo's face turned dark.

This old boy, what a provocation!

This was after arousing the second master's interest in ball control, and then left before helping the second master to vent his anger.

This is too cheap!

Billups' defensive style is very disgusting.

Every time Rondo pushed forward, Billups would come up to harass him. After the harassment was over, he would immediately withdraw without entangled with Rondo.

This tight and loose operation makes Rondo quite difficult to handle.

If Billups pushes him too hard, he can play with Billups, but he can also give the ball to yes.

If Billups doesn't force him and always stands by Yes's side, he can give up his plan to pass the ball to Yes. If Yes doesn't force the ball, he can play tactics with other teammates.

It's good now. It's not very appropriate to contact Yes, and it's somewhat inappropriate not to contact Yes.

Although the second master is the future boss, the current boss of the team is still yes!

Just when Rondo was very upset by Billups's rather "insidious" trick, before Yeez took the initiative to catch the ball, Durant took the initiative.

Durant shook off Anthony's entanglement and ran out to catch the ball.

Seeing this disgusting-looking 'slutty bitch', Rondo really didn't want to pass the ball to him.

This guy is not polite at all!

Yes means giving you the right to the ball, the right to take shots, the right to make mistakes, and the right to play however you want on the team.

But you should be humble at least.

The team's first offense should be reserved for the team boss Yes, no matter what?

Although his eyes were on Durant, Rondo had been peeking at Ye Si from the corner of his eye. After seeing Ye Si's waving action, he reluctantly threw the basketball in his hand to Durant and angrily walked towards him. There was room next to Durant.

Now the whole world knows that the best way to defend Durant is to pester him.

This will allow Durant to play more singles with the ball instead of passing the ball to score.

Yes is still so strong in singles with the ball, and he also makes a lot of mistakes.

This is much better than letting Durant catch and shoot.

Durant's offense with the ball does far more damage to the Sonics than his catching and shooting!

Before the game between the SuperSonics and the Nuggets started, Durant had been holding his breath.

Now the entire Sonics hopes that Yes can complete seven consecutive buzzer beaters and surpass Jordan.

Of course he thought so too.

And compared to others, he hopes yes can do this even more!

Because yes, all the recent controversies between Jordan and his idol Kobe were caused by him.

If yes hadn't trained him crazily during the game, crazy giving him the ball, and opening up space for him to prevent him from entering the three-point line, yes would not have the world doubting that he was not strong in the mid-range.

Now because of yes's consecutive mid-range kills, no one doubts yes's mid-range strength.

But it caused yes to set off a storm of competition with Jordan.

The direct culprit of this storm is Pippen.

But he is indeed the cause!

If because of him, yes is ultimately unable to complete the buzzer beater in seven consecutive games and is eventually considered inferior to Jordan, he will definitely hate himself!

The benefits were all his, but in the end he let yes take the blame!

Because of his reasons, it has nothing to do with the comparison with Jordan. As long as yes can prove that he is better than Jordan, he will have no pressure!

If yes wants to prove that it is better than Jordan, this game requires the SuperSonics to play an inseparable performance with the powerful Nuggets.

It's hard to beat the powerful Nuggets.

This is a very difficult thing, but it is something they have to do!

Especially him, in this game he will face the Nuggets' strongest player, Carmelo Anthony!

The last time the Sonics played against the Nuggets, although the Sonics won in the end, it was because yes unexpectedly beat Hamilton.

The last time the two teams met, the final outcome depended on Anthony's success rate in beating him and Yes's success rate in beating Hamilton.

When he faced Anthony, he was bullied horribly by Anthony.

But in the end, Hamilton was even worse when facing yes.

He was able to score 7 out of 10 shots taken by Anthony.

And Hamilton was so beaten by yes that he wished he could score 9 out of 10!

So in the end the Sonics defeated the Nuggets.

But in this game, it is impossible for Hamilton to underestimate the opponent, and it is impossible for Yes to achieve such a success rate again.

Facing a league champion like Hamilton, yes's efficiency of about 50% is already very good.

What's more, yes will still train him in this game and put a lot of ball rights in his hands.

Therefore, this requires him to perform better when facing Anthony.

At the very least, it will definitely be better than the last time he played against Anthony!

Fight fifteen for eating and sleeping!

This is the summary of many fans on the Internet about the matchup between him and Anthony.

Anthony is indeed very good at defeating him, but he is no longer the same person he was when he first entered the league!

Whether it is experience, technology or physical confrontation, he is no longer the same now!

"This game is the game where I show yes that he can rely on me!"

"This game is for me to let the world see the results of yes' training for me!"

"I will tell the world in this game that my growth is worthy of yes's training, and I did not let yes down!"

Durant now feels as if his whole body is on fire.

"This kid is so fierce now!"

Anthony's defensive skills are on the lower side among the league's small forwards.

But for a small forward like Anthony, he still has strong defensive capabilities.

He can currently use his strength on the defensive end. As long as he is willing to work hard, he is not afraid of offensive players competing with him for talent.

but……

"This kid is not talented!"

Left or right? !

Left!

Isn’t this change of direction and breakthrough too big? !

When the slender figure passed through from his left, Anthony, who had not made any movement from beginning to end, had his eyes wide open like flashlights!

He knew before the game that Durant's breakthrough was very good. Most of Durant's mistakes after the All-Star Game were due to his very large breakthrough.

However, Anthony really didn't expect Durant's change of direction to be so sudden!

And not only the horizontal stride length is incredible, the vertical stride length is also incredible!

As long as he is not careful, as long as he takes a step slower, Durant's long stride can pass by him.

Bang!

When there was a violent dunk sound behind him, Anthony woke up from the shock.

"This is Durant's dunk!"

Anthony didn't even have to look back to guess who made the dunk sound.

When Anthony turned around, he saw Durant put his hands down from the basket.

Standing next to Durant was an equally shocked Camby.

Even the SuperSonics fans present looked in disbelief.

"After the All-Star Game, Durant, because of yes's indulgence and training, increased a lot of opportunities to attack with the ball in the game, a lot of changes of direction, a lot of mistakes, a lot of wonderful moves, but this time Durant’s change of direction breakthrough is the most beautiful and crispest of all Durant’s breakthroughs I have ever seen!”

It’s really beautiful, it’s really crisp!

Barkley was roaring, and Kenny Smith had a look of surprise on his face.

Anthony's defense is not that good.

Especially for that kind of skill-based defensive player, Anthony used to be an ATM machine.

However, is Anthony, who is now willing to work hard on the defensive end, still the same Anthony?

Of course not!

Anthony's current defensive skills still need to be polished, but he is willing to work hard on the defensive end. So with his physical talent, even if his defensive effect is not first-rate, it is definitely second-rate.

At least he is a quasi-second-rate defensive player.

A quasi-second-rate defensive player was passed over like a wooden stake?

Isn't this incredible? !

Especially since this incredible thing happened to Durant, not Yes.

So the SuperSonics fans at the scene were briefly suffocated.

Soon, the SuperSonics fans at the scene recovered from their suffocation, and then the whole stadium was filled with "SuperSonics!" ’ cheers.

Be the mvp of the scene! The cheers turned into 'Supersonics! ' When cheering, even Durant, who got off the basket, looked at the surrounding stands in surprise.

Obviously, these cheers are not for yes.

"Looks like we don't have enough cheers."

Durant came back to his senses and said that the person he respected the most was already standing beside him with a smile.

Seeing the admiring expression on Ye Si's face, Durant's originally dazed expression became excited.

yes is still extremely satisfied with him!

As such a sensitive person, he could clearly feel how yes felt about him now.

Not a trace of dissatisfaction!

The better he behaves, the happier yes will be!

This is truly nurturing him and truly making him happy!

"KD, I hope that one day, all the fans in the Key Arena can cheer 'KD'."

"If that day comes, I will be the one who applauds you most powerfully in this arena."

"come on."

Yesi gently patted Durant on the back.

Yeas knows the pressure is on his teammates right now.

His teammates do not want them to be the sinners of his pursuit of higher goals, although he has not pursued the highest goal in the world, surpassing Jordan!

He never thought about surpassing Jordan now.

But this is not public opinion he can change.

It's not a situation he can reverse.

And among his teammates who are under great pressure.

Durant is under the greatest pressure again.

At the most dangerous moment, he faced his most powerful opponent Anthony again.

This puts Durant's mind and body in an extremely tight state.

In this tight state, Durant's performance did not disappoint.

When Rondo was teased by Billups, Durant still dared to come out to catch the ball and face Anthony despite Anthony's entanglement.

Under such great pressure, Durant still dared to directly challenge his biggest sufferer Anthony one-on-one.

And finally achieved a breakthrough under such tremendous pressure.

Ye Si just saw Durant's huge change of direction and he really wanted to yell out.

It’s indeed quite awesome!

Durant's growth rate makes him very satisfied.

Durant's character traits also make him very satisfied!

This is a man who, like his idol James and Nowitzki of the Mavericks, is not easily defeated by pressure.

The SuperSonics fans at the scene were still cheering for Durant, and they were not used to calling Durant's name yet.

Now they can only shout for Durant, 'SuperSonics! ’ Such cheers.

But that was enough for Durant.

He was with the Seattle SuperSonics and was criticized by fans for most of the season!

Now because he stood up at yes's most dangerous moment and defeated the powerful Anthony on the offensive end, the SuperSonics fans at the scene felt that he was a hero, a knight who could guard yes.

He is willing to be the hero of yes!

He is also willing to become the knight guarding Yes beside Yes!

This was not his original basketball dream!

But this is his biggest pursuit now!

He will give everything he has for this pursuit!

"I didn't expect these young players from the SuperSonics to have grown to this point?!"

"Whether it's Durant, Rondo, Milicic or Millsap, the strength and fighting spirit they showed in this game are quite shocking!"

Before the game between the SuperSonics and the Nuggets started, the whole world was looking down on the SuperSonics.

Of course.

As long as NBA fans look at the SuperSonics' game roster and the Nuggets' game roster, they can see how huge the gap between the two teams is.

But after the game started, the trends of the two teams were completely different from what many people imagined before the game!

"This is not a Nuggets vs. SuperSonics crush!"

“This is a game where two teams are evenly matched offensively!”

The game on the court now is really incredible!

Milicic and Camby, neither of them can guard the other.

Millsap and Martin, neither of these two can attack the other.

Durant and Anthony, neither of these two can guard the other.

The most amazing ones are yes, Hamilton and Billups.

Comparing the SuperSonics and other Nuggets players, overall, Anthony’s current offense is indeed stronger than Durant’s, and he has a greater advantage over Durant. If yes and Hamilton Billups are excluded, Overall, the Nuggets are stronger.

And the Nuggets are not even stronger at one point or two.

But because yes also has an advantage over Hamilton and Billups, the situation on the court between the two teams is actually evenly matched!

"In this game, even if you face a defense like the Nuggets, you can still defend the SuperSonics?!"

Seattle KeyArena.

Looking at the ongoing match between the two teams on the court, reporters from all over the United States and the world in the sidelines' media box, whether they were coconut powder or coconut black, all looked shocked.

Durant faced Anthony's defense in this game and was in better shape than in the previous game. His shooting percentage went up slightly, there were not so many mistakes, and his scoring method became smoother.

The strength seems to have reached a higher level.

This is surprising.

But they can still understand this.

Under Yes's no-cost training, even Grandma O'Neill and even a pig can be enlightened!

Although Durant's second pick this year is overvalued for him, there is no way Durant is a pig or really O'Neal's grandmother.

In order to train Durant, yes now almost regards himself as a role player on the court. With Durant's performance in this game, it can only be said that yes's efforts to Durant are valuable.

Durant played very well in this game, they can accept it and understand it.

The other Sonics players are also playing very well. Like Durant, they can understand and accept it. After all, their pressure is not as high as Durant's.

But the key is yes!

yesThe pressure in this game is quite high!

There is Hamilton who is always sticking next to him, and there is Billups who is always sticking next to him.

Although Hamilton and Billups are not flanking Yes.

But as the team with the strongest coordinated defense, even if they don't attack from a flank, just such coordinated defense can make all outside attackers in the league terrifying!

Whether it's Kobe, McGrady or Iverson, anyone will drink a pot when faced with defenses like Hamilton and Billups!

Even Jordan will encounter great difficulties when facing the defense of these two people!

But what about yes?

In the game between the SuperSonics and the Nuggets, the two teams finished the first quarter, 34 to 34. Yes scored 2 of 3 three-pointers in a single quarter and scored 8 points!

In the game between the SuperSonics and the Nuggets, the two teams finished the second quarter, 61 to 61. Yes made 2 of 2 three-pointers in the second quarter and scored 7 points!

In the first half of the game, yes was defended by Hamilton and Billups and had few chances to take action. Yes himself did not think about taking action.

But as long as yes takes action, the hit rate is extremely high!

In the first half, he made 4 of 5 three-pointers and scored 15 points!

It can be said that the disadvantages of other SuperSonics players when facing the Nuggets were all made up for by Yes's incredible efficiency!

If we talk about the first half, it can be explained that Yes's touch is very good, his condition is very good, and he takes few shots, so such a high shooting rate can occur unexpectedly.

But after the start of the second half, will yes's incredibly high hits continue?

After the start of the third quarter, Durant's physical strength dropped significantly, and his disadvantage against Anthony became more and more obvious.

It seemed that the Nuggets were about to win, but throughout the third quarter, yes's three-pointers became even more terrifying. He took 6 shots in a single quarter, hit 4 times, and scored 15 points in a single quarter!

After three quarters, he made 8 of 11 three-pointers!

Isn't this efficiency too terrifying?

You know, yes's opponents are Hamilton and Billups!

This is a combination that ranks first in collaborative defense!

The media reporters on the sidelines now look confused.

So, is Hamilton and Billups' defense against yes in this game a success or a failure?

To call it a failure, these two men allowed Yes to take only 11 shots in the first three quarters of this game!

This is a very successful defense!

But what about success?

yes Facing the defense of these two people, this efficiency is too high!

"These are Hamilton and Billups!"

The Spurs and Lakers are certainly paying attention to this direct battle between the SuperSonics and the Nuggets.

As an old rival, Duncan really finds it incredible when he looks at the yes data shown on TV.

Not only Duncan, but other Spurs players also had such incredible expressions.

At the same time, after being in disbelief, these people all looked at Bowen with respect and admiration.

Bowen alone is the strongest defensive team in the NBA!

Although I don't know why yes can seem to be able to score whenever it wants in front of Hamilton and Billups.

But that's certainly not the case with Hamilton and Billups.

There is no need to question the coordinated defense of Hamilton and Billups, they are the best in active service!

I can only say that yes’s three-point shot is too powerful!

He is so powerful that as long as he gets a chance to take action, whether he can score or not has nothing to do with the defensive player, it all depends on him.

Looking at the game that is still going on, the Spurs players are all shocked. Only Bowen looks calm with a faint smile on his face.

As if everything was under his control.

And in fact?

He is indeed the only person in the Spurs locker room who understands the duel between Yes and Hamilton Billups.

Hamilton and Billups can always work together to stop Yes.

It seems that there is no problem with their defense, just like when he faced yes, he defended without losing his position.

But the defense that Hamilton and Billups did not lose position or coordinate well was all given to them by yes!

Yes does not mean that you are not defensive!

Yes, I just don’t want to shoot or attack!

"This game is so intense!"

"The Nuggets seem to be stronger, but as long as the Nuggets open up the score a little, yes can stand up!"

"Now the two teams are completely anxious together!"

"Whoever wins in the end may win!"

As the game on TV heats up, the expressions of the Spurs players in the Spurs locker room are constantly changing.

As the fourth team in the Western Conference, of course they want the Nuggets to win.

Only if the Nuggets win will their record with the SuperSonics be brought closer.

Logically speaking, the Nuggets have the greatest hope of winning this game. Before the game, most people thought the Nuggets could win.

They also recognized such speculation.

But now...

Watching the two teams continue to score evenly, they really couldn't understand it!

"The Seattle SuperSonics will definitely win this game!"

Just when the Spurs players' nervous hands were sweating, Bowen's confident and firm voice came softly.

After Bowen finished speaking, he could feel how incredible the teammates around him looked at him.

Indeed, it is really difficult to see the result of the current situation where the two teams are constantly climbing up.

So far in this game, with 4 minutes left, the two teams have been tied 45 times!

45 draws in one game!

This is NBA history!

Obviously Yes can easily defeat the Nuggets with the SuperSonics, but why is he doing this?

Bowen is not a fool, how could he not guess yes's plan!

There is only one plan for yes!

Just as the Spurs players looked at Bowen in disbelief, Bowen's eyes looked toward the northeast with sympathy...that was the direction of Chicago.

But obviously, in the eyes of the Spurs players at the scene, Bowen's sympathetic look was for the Nuggets.

"The Nuggets will really lose this game 100%?!"

real or fake? !

It's not that Bowen doesn't have enough prestige with the Spurs, but this is really incredible!

"Even! Even! Even! Even again!"

The score on TV seemed to have been rehearsed or agreed upon by the two teams, and they were climbing up hand in hand.

Jordan certainly knew that such a magical score was not the result of perceived manipulation.

But now, his heart was really scratched in his throat by such a change in the score!

To be honest, he has already prepared so many boxes of cigars at home, ready to enjoy this game.

But since the game started, he has never had a chance to enjoy it!

"draw!"

"This is the fiftieth time the two teams have tied in this match!"

Listening to the commentary on the TV and watching Anthony crush Durant's defense and hit two points, Jordan even shouted with excitement.

But soon, looking at the score and the remaining time on TV, Jordan's excited face instantly turned pale!

"With 15 seconds left in the game, Carmelo Anthony crushed Durant and made a layup, 130-130!"

"The Seattle SuperSonics have the final say in this incredible game!"

Barkley was roaring, and the Sonics fans were going crazy.

In the Spurs locker room, everyone's eyes were on the confident and calm bald man with his hands folded across his chest.

"In this game, yes will kill the opponent in the mid-range for the sixth consecutive game!"

After Bowen finished speaking calmly, the other players in the Spurs locker room almost mechanically turned their heads and looked at the TV.

"Timeout over!"

"It is said that the opponents that yes faced in the previous three games were too weak, but this time, yes faced the strongest collaborative defense team in the league!"

"Yes, prepare to execute this decisive blow!"

"yes didn't pass the ball, yes took a shot from the mid-range under the defense of Hamilton and Billups!"

Looking at the figure throwing the ball out from the mid-range under the defense of Hamilton and Billups, Jordan's hands were already hugging the TV with excitement.

"This ball can't hit!"

But soon, when there was a buzzing sound, Jordan's eyes, which were holding the TV with both hands, seemed to bulge out in shock!

"The sixth time! yes completed the mid-range kill for the sixth time in a row!"

Barkley's crazy voice resounded throughout the United States.
