Chapter 551: An Epic Record

February 28, 2008, Seattle, Key Arena.

The Seattle SuperSonics face the Los Angeles Lakers led by Kobe Bryant at home.

Because now Ye Si has used mid-range to kill six times in a row.

In this game with the Lakers, as long as he completes one more mid-range kill, according to Jordan's requirements, his ability in the mid-range will surpass Jordan.

Therefore, this game between the SuperSonics and the Lakers can be said to have inspired the enthusiasm of the entire city of Seattle.

The relationship between the Seattle SuperSonics and Jordan is not that harmonious.

Prior to this, Yes had raised more than one proposal to surpass Jordan, and had competed with Jordan in terms of strength more than once.

But basically, the final result is nothing.

Although on Twitter and in fan voting, Yes's "strength" can now beat Jordan.

But in the professional field, Yes has never surpassed Jordan.

At the beginning of the season, after Yes scored 82 points in a single game, the great contrast ended with an inexplicable result.

But now, in this middle-distance competition, this is no longer something that the media experts can decide.

This is the condition given by Jordan himself!

The condition given by Jordan was not to win seven consecutive games.

It can be said that Yes uses the highest difficulty and the highest requirements to complete the "formula beyond him" given by Jordan.

"As Michael's closest comrade, I understand his current mood. He must be extremely uneasy and anxious now. Everyone knows that Michael is not an elegant and generous person. This game will make him very upset. He doesn’t want to see the result, but now, he really can’t do anything.”

"Now, Yes is the one who controls his destiny. It is impossible for Michael to go to the Key Arena now, beat up Yes, and prevent Yes from playing. This is meaningless. Michael can do such a thing, but any of us If it is Yes, we cannot give up such an opportunity in this game, this is what Michael said himself!"

"Hitting a mid-range shot in seven consecutive games without taking one shot is Michael's condition, hahahaha. Now what Yes wants to do is to hit a mid-range buzzer beater in seven consecutive games! From the All-Star Game to now, Yes has never missed a mid-range shot, hitting all 15 of his shots!"

"No joke, I guess Michael must regret it now. The current situation is that he has to support one between Yes and Kobe!"

The SuperSonics' home game against the Lakers has not yet started, and the TNT team's preview of the game is being broadcast on TNT TV.

On TV, the smiling and calm-looking Pi Er, who was giving advice, was so unbeatable.

Jordan now feels that he doesn't want to go to Key Arena and beat Yes up. He wants to go to TNT's studio and beat up Pi Er in front of hundreds of millions of viewers!

Anyway, this guy is so thick-skinned now that he can take a beating even if he needs it.

but,

This guy is right about one thing.

He really regrets it now, very much!

If I had known, he wouldn't have said such a Yes beyond his conditions.

As long as there are no such conditions, let alone Yes using the mid-range to score 7 consecutive kills, even if Yes uses the mid-range to score 10 consecutive kills like his three-pointer, he can still quibble!

You can hit the mid-range kill seven or ten times in a row, and I can do it too!

After he put forward such conditions that exceeded him, there was really no room for change!

It's all this guy Pi Er!

If it weren't for this guy's stimulation, he wouldn't have said that at that time.

Similarly, at that time, he really didn’t expect Yes to do such a thing!

There were mid-range shots in six consecutive games, with a 100% hit rate, and six of them were game-winners!

Damn it, if it were him, he really couldn't do it!

No joke, if you don't take personal pride into consideration, Yes surpasses him in mid-range strength, and he is convinced.

Just like after Yes hit the winning three-pointer ten times in a row, even a person as full of B as Larry Bird said that in the field of three-pointers, everyone else is here to compete for second place.

What Yes has done now is much more difficult than ten consecutive three-pointers.

After all, when Yes made ten consecutive three-pointers, his three-point shooting rate during this period was not 100%.

As long as Yes can complete a mid-range kill against the Lakers in this game, he will definitely surpass him.

Even if he didn't complete the mid-range kill, as long as Yes's mid-range shooting rate in this game is still 100%, then the requirement to surpass him is also met.

Thinking of this, Jordan looked away from the TV and looked outside his big villa.

Outside his big villa, hundreds of journalists from major, medium and small media outlets across the United States were already guarding him.

These guys were waiting for the end of the game to do something to him.

Damn it, why is it so difficult to be a basketball god? !

Yes? Kobe?

It’s so difficult for Uncle Qiao now!

Seattle, Key Arena, SuperSonics fans at the scene are now uniformly wearing a commemorative jacket that the SuperSonics distributed for free.

Written on the coat is a big "seven" character.

The game between the SuperSonics and the Lakers has not yet ended, and SuperSonics officials are already borrowing money for the result of this game.

The SuperSonics fans on site now are crazy and very engaged.

Not only these SuperSonics fans, but also the SuperSonics management staff are now very dedicated.

"Beyond Jordan!"

Such a gimmick is really too big!

During the previous ten consecutive games, the last few games at the SuperSonics' home court, in just six games, the team's ticket revenue saved enough for the team's construction costs for the new arena.

And this time for this consecutive victory, not only the construction costs were enough, but also the supporting facilities of the arena and other expenses were all enough!

Although the Sonics don't need this money to build a new arena, this kind of money is not like a bastard.

How much economic benefit did Yes's two miraculous consecutive hits that can go down in basketball history this season create for Seattle?

I'm afraid it's really impossible to calculate statistics.

Now there are tens of thousands of fans from all over the United States and even the world gathered in the square outside Key Arena.

If the 25,000 spectators for this game hadn't been packed to capacity, and the minimum ticket price was US$1,000, the SuperSonics could have sold 10,000 tickets!

It can be said that now, the whole of Seattle loves this kind of game and loves Yes!

The Seattle SuperSonics fans at the scene were very restless, so restless that even an experienced head coach like Lakers head coach Phil Jackson had an incredible feeling.

This kind of game is the legendary game that can completely devour those young players!

However, for the Lakers, it is not that serious.

Most of the Lakers' players are now experienced veterans. This situation has a very limited impact on the Lakers.

Didn’t you see that the team’s boss, Kobe Bryant, is talking and laughing with Yes?

The expression on Kobe's face now shows that he was not affected by the audience at all.

And this is something that makes Phil Jackson very satisfied.

Kobe has really grown since dunking on Shaq in the All-Star Game.

In the past, Kobe would often be irritated by opponents during games.

As long as the opponent mentions Shaq, or some other words, Kobe will explode.

Kobe, who exploded and was enraged, could indeed kill people, but sometimes he killed his enemies and sometimes he killed himself.

Kobe Bryant is a very sharp machete, but this machete is really uncontrollable.

It's different now.

Kobe's mentality on the court now is incredible.

In the game against the Suns, Laga Bell provoked Kobe countless times and tried various methods.

But Kobe never exploded.

It’s not that Kobe can’t explode now.

But Kobe can now control his explosion!

Now Kobe's explosions will only blow up his enemies and no longer have the property of blowing up himself!

The relationship between Kobe and the Sonics players was great.

In addition to Rondo, Kobe is quite fond of other Sonics players.

Even his former teammate Kwame Brown, Kobe can't hate him. This guy is just a matter of strength, and everything else is actually fine.

As for Rondo, Kobe will never forget the look in Rondo’s eyes when he was being defended by the Snake Tactics during their first confrontation with the SuperSonics last season.

Although he has let go of everything after dunking on O'Neal, he still wants to beat Rondo!

Of course, this game is not the time to beat up Rondo.

"Yes, in such an atmosphere, it must feel great to beat you."

"You can try."

Kobe smiled, but Ye Si's face was still cold and calm.

If it hadn't been for the last time the two of them met, when he said harsh words before the game and was sent to heaven by Yes, he would definitely have said more harsh words in this game.

But now, Kobe feels that he is not that 'simple' anymore.

There is no problem in saying harsh words in front of this guy Yes, the problem is, you must be able to do it!

Because Yes will respond to your harsh words and do even harsher things. If you can't do what you say, it's best not to provoke this guy in front of Yes.

This guy who looks cold and calm actually hides a volcano that is about to explode at the drop of a hat!

In this game between the Sonics and the Lakers, the SuperSonics fans on the sidelines and the audience in front of the TV are finding it difficult to calm down now.

Because in this game there will be the first person recognized by Jordan and who will soon surpass Jordan.

Before the game started, the players of the Lakers and SuperSonics acted very relaxed and calm.

Kobe kept greeting the Sonics players with a smile.

Other Sonics players also interacted with Lakers players.

But when the two teams took a stand on the court, the players on the two teams clearly felt the change in the temperament of both sides.

"The little sheep suddenly turned into a big bad wolf!"

Stephen Curry, who was shouting wildly along with other ordinary Sonics fans around him, was startled by the sudden change in the atmosphere on the court.

"The nerves and state of the Sonics players in this game reached the extreme!"

The expression on Steve Kerr's face next to Curry was not as shocked as Curry's, but he was still surprised.

For other Sonics players, as long as they help Yes surpass Jordan in this game, they can relax their tense spirits.

Except for Yes and Kobe, the strength of other Lakers players is paramount to the strength of other SuperSonics players.

But now the morale of Sonics players is higher than that of Lakers players.

This game may be the best game for the Sonics players in the regular season, and it may even be the game with the highest morale in their career so far.

"This game has to be fought!"

Steve Kerr is already looking forward to the process and result of this game.

Definitely a great game.

In this game, the Lakers' starting lineup is center Bynum, power forward Randolph, small forward Turkoglu, shooting guard Kobe Bryant, and point guard Kidd.

The SuperSonics' starting center is Milicic, power forward Millsap, small forward Durant, shooting guard Yes, and point guard Rondo.

"Yes, now I know why I always feel so uncomfortable every time I face you."

'"Yes, you have already known that we are the same kind of people, right?"

After Kobe and Ye Si stood together, they never stopped talking.

Ye Si was also a little surprised when he heard Kobe say this.

Kobe actually discovered that he knew Kobe's talent.

However, this is inevitable. When he faced Kobe before, every time he could defend Kobe based on Kobe's touch.

Of course Kobe will find out if it happens too many times.

"Very surprised?."

"No."

Yesi shook his head.

Kobe enjoyed seeing Yes shaking his head. The expression on Yes's face just now was quite surprised.

hehe.

Before, you tested my touch and defended me in a targeted manner.

In this game, I can also test your touch and carry out targeted defense for you!

Same talent!

There is someone in this world who has the same talent as him!

Kobe is in a very interesting mood right now.

Just when Kobe was about to think about how to use Yes's method against him before in this game to target Yes in this game, the game officially started.

Milicic, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, defeated Bynum, who was also one of the Four Heavenly Kings. Milicic was in excellent condition in this game.

Amid the cheers of the SuperSonics fans at the scene, the SuperSonics won the first offensive opportunity of the game.

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

The Lakers' defense is one of the few teams in the NBA that can rely on its own strength to stop the Sonics' opening fast break.

When Yes used his off-ball movement to get rid of Kobe and received Rondo's pass from outside the three-point line, Kidd stood in front of him and stuck his waist tightly.

"There is no tacit understanding like Hamilton and Billups, nor is Hamilton and Billups able to make the offense invisible, but Kobe and Kidd are both very good in individual defense!"

Kobe was thrown away by Yes, Kidd could make up for it immediately, and after Kidd made up, Kobe could return to his position immediately.

Kobe and Kidd don't have much synergy. This is purely defensive personal ability!

With such personal ability, Kenny Smith on the sidelines was filled with admiration.

"Yes, you can't get rid of me!"

Now every team has its own way of targeting Yes without the ball. This is the way the Lakers target Yes without the ball!

Yes is very deceptive without the ball, artistically deceptive, but most of this deception is aimed at directly opposing defensive players.

Kobe will be deceived, but Kidd, who is watching the show but filling in at any time, cannot be deceived!

Yes could continue to deceive Kidd without the ball, but when Yes deceived Kidd, Kobe came back.

Over and over again!

This is the strategy the Lakers gave to Yes's off-ball defense.

However, this requires the two defensive players to have extremely high defensive strength and quality.

Rondo's passing is quite timely, and Yes's shooting is also quite quick.

If the defense is not good, if the position cannot be filled, it will give Yes a chance to open up, and Yes will be defeated!

For the Lakers, as long as they force Yes to face Kobe with the ball, that is success!

Yes's ball-handling offense is very strong and his ball control is very good, but it is not that easy for Yes to stop and play Kobe one-on-one.

If you don’t say Yes, even Jordan wouldn’t have it that easy!

Phil Jackson was very satisfied when he saw Yes stop in front of Kobe Bryant under his own defensive arrangement.

"Yes, do you want to know how you feel in this game?"

Kobe looked out of the corner of his eye and saw that the other Sonics players around him were being stared at by Lakers players, with a thick smile on his face.

"Just throw it and you'll know!"

When Kobe knew that Yes was the same type of player as him, Kobe felt that Yes, who had no idea what to say before, was finally no longer so unbelievable!

Testing Yes's touch is the first step. If Yes' touch is bad, just let it go a little bit, allowing him to take more shots and hurt the team more. If Yes has an excellent touch, just stick to him and stick to him for a moment. It is impossible to separate, it is best to make this game impossible for Yes!

This is the way Yes made him extremely uncomfortable in the first place. Now, he can finally return it to the other person in his own way!

Seeing the calm look on Yes's face now, Kobe was very happy, but Yes must be feeling extremely uncomfortable now!

Throwing a basketball is like gambling. The quality of the game is determined by the test balls thrown out.

It's really cool to get it right.

But it is indeed uncomfortable to fight for a long time.

No one knows better than him what this discomfort feels like.

"The Lakers' opening defense was very good, and Kobe's defense was also very good!"

"The SuperSonics had no chance. Yes faced Kobe's defense and took a forced shot!"

"Three no-touches!"

Seeing Ye Si's non-conformity, the SuperSonics fans on the sidelines were shocked.

Not only the SuperSonics fans on the sidelines, but also the reporters in the media box, Barkley and Kenny Smith in the commentary box, all had incredible expressions on their faces.

"If I remember correctly, this should be Yes' first three-ball shot on the court!"

The first three-no-touch? !

Jordan, who had been watching the game in front of the TV with a very troubled mood, now his eyes lit up.

Could it be that Yes's hand feels bad in this game?

surprise!

Yes, the expression on his face now is one of surprise!

After Kobe came back to his senses from the bad basketball, he looked at Yes again. The expression on Yes's face now made him extremely happy!

Seeing Yes's expression now, Kobe even wanted to laugh.

Damn it, Yes, this game is definitely going to be a one-shot game!

Of course, one shot is not enough to test the feel. It requires at least four shots.

After four shots and three strikes, you basically have the most basic judgment.

Kobe is in a good mood now.

Although it is still unclear how Yes will feel in this game.

But Yes, Kobe was quite excited when Yes, who tested his touch under such close defense, hit his first three-and-done shot in his career.

As long as he tests his hand next time and finds out that his hand is very good, he will be able to defeat Yes in this game!

Kobe is very excited now, and Phil Jackson is also in a good mood now.

In fact, Yes's touch has not been very good in the recent period. He has taken a lot of three-pointers but not so many hits. It seems that in this game, Yes has continued the bad touch of recent times.

However, when it was the Lakers' turn to attack, they were not very strict against Yeezy, but they were not very loose either. They were the kind of defense that tested the opponent's touch. Facing this defense that also tested the touch, Kobe leaned back to avoid it. Yes' defense threw the first ball of the game.

There was a clang.

Blacksmithing.

The sound of iron striking this time made Kobe's originally excited mood a little surprised and unexpected.

But soon, Kobe adjusted his mood.

It’s just a matter of faith.

A piece of cake.

"Are Yes and Kobe ready to compete as soon as they come up?!"

As the two people with the strongest singles ability in the league and the two people with the most balanced offense and defense, every time they play against each other, they directly engage in offensive and defensive duels.

But obviously, this time, the offensive and defensive duel between the two occurred a little early!

Yes has been training Durant recently. When the SuperSonics came up recently, Durant always started.

This game switched back to the Yes start, and it started four times in a row!

"Four three-point shots, three misses, and one hit. This feeling is quite bad!"

"This feeling is no longer very bad, but extremely bad. Yes has never missed three times in his career before this, and now he has failed three times in four attacks at the beginning of the game!"

Barkley and Kenny Smith are both quite surprised now. They can clearly feel how the originally crazy Sonics fans suddenly became anxious.

Yes made four consecutive shots at the beginning, three times without touching, and three points.

But the score in this game was 3 to 2.

Because Kobe on the opposite side made four shots, 1 of 3 irons, and 2 points.

After shooting all four tests, facing Yes' defense that tested his touch, he backed up three times out of four times, which made Kobe quite unhappy.

In this game, his touch was not very good either.

However, fortunately, Yes's hand feel is worse than his.

His first four throws were three irons.

Yes can't even make iron!

Thinking of this, Kobe felt much better.

In the game between the SuperSonics and the Lakers, the leading players of the two teams took four crazy shots like this, which surprised many people at the scene.

When everyone was expecting the two people to make crazy moves in this game, the two people who looked like they were going to have a big showdown suddenly stopped preparing to attack!

"After the first four shots, neither Yes nor Kobe took any large-scale consecutive shots."

"And what's incredible is that both Kobe and Yes seem to have relaxed their defense against each other!"

"What's even more incredible is that when faced with the opponent's defense, whether it was Yes or Kobe, they still did not seize the opportunity to relax their defense and attack aggressively!"

You know, whether it is Yes or Kobe, these two are one of the best scorers in the league. With the scoring ability of these two people, the defense between the two in this game is basically a scoring opportunity.

According to the Sanders Index, isn't this 40% defensive intensity a good opportunity?

"What are these two doing now?!"

When Kobe was defending Yes, he was distracted and helping to defend Durant!

And while Yes was defending Kobe, he was also distracted by helping to defend Randolph!

Miraculously, in the face of Yes' inattention, Kobe still didn't take any large-scale action.

Faced with a distraction like Kobe's, Yes also didn't take action on a large scale!

"Could it be that the four shots the two took in the beginning were just to test the touch, and the touch was not good, so they took as few shots as possible instead of taking the same shot to get the touch back?"

"This makes sense. For Yes and Kobe, this game is really important. They must hold back their attacks**!"

"It's not surprising that Yes can hold back his own attacks. I didn't expect that Kobe can hold back his own attacks now!"

Both of them are holding back their attacks for the sake of victory**?

Jordan's eyes were twinkling.

He has little interest in Kobe's changes.

What interests him is that Yes has now failed almost 10 times in the game!

"It's either a hit or a miss!"

In the first quarter of the game, Yes scored 5 points on 1 of 4 shots and missed 3 times!

In the second quarter, Yes made 1 of 3 shots and scored 6 points, without touching twice!

In the third quarter of the game, Yes made 1 of 4 shots, scored 4 points, and missed 3 times!

After three quarters, Yes took 11 shots in total, made 3 of 11 shots, scored 15 points, and missed 8 times!

"Congratulations to Yes for breaking the NBA single-game record of three non-stick games before surpassing Jordan!"

"This is an epic record!"

Beyond Nima!

Charles, based on Yes’s touch in this game, if he can hit a mid-range winner again, I will take your last name!

However, an epic record is pretty good.

The game between the Lakers and SuperSonics ended like this, Kobe was shocked!

"This game is a competition. Whoever dares to take more shots will lose!"

Kobe carefully tested his touch intermittently in this game, and it was indeed a consistent situation.

And Yes, the same!

So now their shooting percentages are the same, both 3-for-11!

only……

Looking at the score on the big screen, after three quarters, it was 80 to 76!

The Lakers lead by 4 points!

When Yes scored 4 points more than him, the Lakers led by 4 points!

He and Yes are both strong, but the Lakers teammates are stronger than the Sonics players!

Thinking of this, Kobe walked off the court with a smile on his face.

This game is so tough, it’s hard for him!

But Yes was even more uncomfortable than him!

"Yes, don't worry about breaking the three-non-contamination record. That is our privilege. To be honest, I want to try this record too, haha."

"..."

Faced with Kobe's 'comfort', Ye Si said nothing.

Is it a single-game record for three non-sticks...

Ye Si looked down at the superstar system.

90…90…90…90…90…

He didn't want to...

But he's really afraid of the shots he throws at the basket... all of them hitting.
