Chapter 567: The Alliance Has Undergone Tremendous Changes and the Knights Are About to Undergo Tremendous Changes

On March 22, the Rockets' away game against the Suns was the third meeting between the two teams this season.

In the previous two games, the Suns defeated the Rockets.

In addition, the Rockets were defeated and eliminated by the Suns in the playoffs this season. It can be said that the Suns have always been known as the Rockets' nemesis.

Before the start of this game, the battle between the Rockets and the Suns for first place in the Western Conference was almost crazy.

The two teams have fought for first place in the Western Conference from the beginning of the season to now, and the intensity is the most intense in history.

However, before the start of this game, most people were more optimistic about the Suns.

Because in the remaining schedule, the Suns and Rockets will face off twice!

The two teams play one home and one away game each.

According to the previous performance of the two teams, the Suns will definitely win their home game and have a chance on the road.

Therefore, as long as the Suns can defend their home court and try their best to win the away game, then the Suns will definitely be number one in the Western Conference.

Even if the Suns lose in the final away game, the two teams have the same record, and the Suns, who have a better winning-loss relationship, are still No. 1 in the Western Conference!

It can be said that the Rockets' away game against the Suns is a game that determines the number one spot in the Western Conference.

In the eyes of many people, this game had no suspense, but in the end it ended up like this.

After knowing the result of this game, the Sonics players who boarded the plane flying back to Seattle have been discussing this game.

"I didn't expect Stoudemire to be in foul trouble again in this game!"

"This is actually normal. Didn't Coach Scott say that when Stoudemire faced Yao in his career, including the playoffs, he averaged 4.5 fouls per game!"

"To be precise, not counting the playoffs, but just looking at the regular season, Stoudemire faced Yao Ming. In the previous games, he committed one six-foul and seven five-fouls. Before this game, they had played against each other a total of 15 times. Including tonight's game, the two men have played against each other 16 times in the regular season in their careers. Stoudemire was beaten twice and committed five fouls seven times. If five times A foul is considered a foul crisis, so when Stoudemire faced Yao Ming, the probability of a foul crisis was more than 50%!"

"What's scary is that these data are from Yao Ming who didn't intentionally cause Stoudemire a foul before!"

"How terrible would it be if Yao Ming deliberately caused a foul on Stoudemire?!"

"There is no doubt that Anthony and the Nuggets have changed the pattern of the two strongest players in the Western Conference!"

"Yao Ming may be a stronger Sun Buster than Anthony!"

Yeas did not participate in discussions between the team's coaches and players.

However, Ye Si listened to what they discussed.

Anthony and the Nuggets have changed the landscape of the top two teams in the Western Conference.

After the All-Star Game, in the game against the Suns, Ding Gua defeated Stoudemire and committed five fouls on Webber, letting the whole world see it. It turns out that we don’t really need to crack the Suns’ offense to crack the Suns’ offense. As long as we get rid of Stoudemire, the Suns' offensive system, which is the strongest offensive team that combines the blame-shifting system and run-and-gun, will collapse!

Nash is the core organizer of the Suns' current offensive system.

And Stoudemire is the core of tactics!

Whether it's a run-and-gun corner pick-and-roll or a positional transfer tactic, Stoudemire is the core.

What's even more frightening is that in order to maximize the offense, the Suns let Stoudemire play center, which gave other teams the opportunity to cause Stoudemire to foul.

Ever since Anthony and the Nuggets used such tactics and ideas to defeat the Suns.

I don't know how many strong teams have used such tactics and ideas when facing the Suns.

Most teams failed, and the Spurs also failed. The main reason is that the Suns' offense is too strong.

Even if Stoudemire is out of foul trouble and reduces Stoudemire's playing time, the Suns' offense is unmatched by most teams in the league.

What's more, it's not that easy for Stoudemire to have a foul crisis, and it's even harder to have Stoudemire have a long-term foul crisis.

But in the game against the Rockets, the Suns lost.

An opponent they couldn't lose the most, they lost.

Now Ye Si doesn't know how frightened the Suns will be after losing this game.

Facing most teams in the league, the Suns' offense has an advantage. Even if they allow Stoudemire, it will be an advantage.

But facing the Rockets, who are known as one of the strongest defensive teams in history, the Suns will not be able to break through the Rockets' defense so easily without Stoudemire's offense.

With Stoudemire, the Suns' offense is the best in history and can suppress one of the best defenses in Rockets history.

Without Stoudemire, the Suns' offense is at a historical level, not as good as one of the best defenses in Rockets history.

Yes and the Sonics watched some clips of the game. Although the score was 113 to 110, the scenes of the game were much more brutal than this score.

Without Stoudemire, the Suns would be beaten by the Rockets!

Before Stoudemire was sent off, with 4 minutes left in the game, the Suns led by 10 points!

The 10-point advantage was instantly gone in four minutes!

What kind of collapse was that?

Like a torrent!

Facing other teams, the Suns can use other centers in the team's lineup to protect Stoudemire, which will at worst lower their offensive level.

But facing such a rocket, do the Suns dare to lower their offensive level?

If Stoudemire really stays on the court and lowers his offensive level, he will not be able to break through the Rockets' defense, and he will not be able to play run-and-gun, and Stoudemire will not be able to use the blame-shifting tactic after being heavily targeted. What does it matter if Demier remains on the court?

Therefore, it is true that the game between the Rockets and the Suns changed the entire league.

After defeating the SuperSonics, the Suns climbed to the top of the league in one fell swoop. After this game, they lost the title of the strongest team in the Western Conference and the strongest team in history!

The Suns, who lost this game, now have a record of 61 wins and 8 losses. Although there is still a chance to break the Bulls' record, the Rockets on the other side have a greater chance.

On the other side, the Rockets are very likely to win the championship with the strongest regular season record in history!

Even if the Suns only lose one game to the Rockets in all subsequent games, the best record of the Suns can reach 73 wins and 9 losses. If the 73 wins and 9 losses of the Suns encounter 74 wins and 8 losses in the Western Conference Finals or a better record If the Rockets are eliminated by the Rockets using such a style of play and tactics, then the Suns will change from a candidate for the strongest team in history to a team with the largest background in history!

The runner-up in the Western Conference Finals with 73 wins and 9 losses, and the 73 wins and 9 losses that can’t even qualify as the overall runner-up!

What level of background board will this be? !

Just thinking about it for a moment makes those American media become excited.

Before the start of this game, media all over the world felt that this year's Western Conference was so strong and the Rockets were so strong this year. This was a huge background for the Suns to reach the top in history.

I really didn’t expect it to turn around in the end!

It turns out that the protagonist of this season is not the Sun, it turns out that the protagonist of this world is the Rockets!

Yeas and the Sonics players are still on the plane and have no idea how crazy the public opinion caused by this game has been.

However, after Ye Si took the SuperSonics players back home from the airport, he felt it completely.

"This is really a carnival!"

Wang Han was so excited that he couldn't help himself.

She didn't expect that it would suddenly become like this.

This season, Ye Si and Yao Ming have performed very well. They are the first and third in the MVP rankings. This season is the best season for Chinese players in the NBA.

However, such a good season will serve as a backdrop for Nash.

This is uncomfortable.

And now? !

The MVP belongs to Ye Si!

The championship belongs to Yao Ming!

This is the perfect result!

The red expression on Wang Han's beautiful face almost showed all her heart on her face.

Will the Rockets be so successful?

In other words, will the sun make the rocket so smooth?

Of course it's impossible.

After all, the Suns are the defending champions and the Rockets are the challengers.

What's more, it's hard to say the outcome of the next match between the two teams. If the Suns win, the Suns will still be number one in the Western Conference.

And what will the playoffs look like in the Western Conference Finals?

No one knows.

If everyone is running out of gas at that time, can Yao Ming still allow Stoudemire to foul at least five times in every game?

The entire public opinion world is indeed in a carnival now.

After all, in the past two seasons, the halo around the Sun has been too great. The higher you stand, the more painful it will be when you fall.

How many people have been waiting for this time to step on the sun.

Ye Si can guarantee that if one day he falls from the sky, there will definitely be more and more people stepping on him.

In short, this game is not enough to determine the outcome of this season.

"Who will be the final protagonist, Rockets or Suns?!"

Wang Han, who was scrolling through Twitter, was so excited that he couldn't contain himself.

"Why the protagonists of this season must be these two teams."

Um? !

Wang Han, who was still too excited to contain himself, heard this familiar voice and raised his head in surprise. The familiar figure had already quietly left the living room of the villa.

The figure holding the basketball from behind...

That's the direction of the villa's basketball court.

Yes...

Could it be? !

Wang Han's beautiful face was filled with surprise, and his smart eyes were twinkling.

On March 24, 2008, the Seattle SuperSonics return to Key Arena at home and will face the Portland Trail Blazers, currently No. 11 in the Western Conference, after a hellish back-to-back schedule.

The Trail Blazers have determined that it is impossible to enter the playoffs.

But the Trail Blazers are still playing conscientiously.

The Trail Blazers have shown surprising resilience this season, led by young players like Conley and Aldridge, as well as Webster Gortat.

"This is a very young team, and this is also a team that knows what it wants!"

This is what Nelson said about the Trail Blazers.

Such opponents are often the most difficult opponents to defeat.

In this game with the Trail Blazers, the Trail Blazers did bring huge trouble to the SuperSonics.

The Trail Blazers have indeed lost their chance to enter the playoffs.

But this team is really using these regular season sprint games as the playoffs!

This season, the Sonics' offensive capabilities shown in statistics are second only to the Suns and Nuggets.

The Sonics average more than 115 points per game.

But in this game, the SuperSonics only scored 97 points at home. Although the SuperSonics still won 97-84 at the end of the game, it was really uncomfortable to win.

In this difficult game, the Sonics players on hand saw everything they least expected to see.

Rondo's open hand is a piece of iron.

Durant's hot hand passes hard, but his cold hand will hit him.

This is just the uncomfortable part of the Sonics' offense.

On the defensive end, it was actually even more uncomfortable. Aldridge beat the SuperSonics inside all over in this game.

If it weren't for the Blazers' solid performance in this game, it would be really hard to say the final winner of this game.

This game was very uncomfortable for the Sonics. In addition to the poor state of the Sonics players after the hellish back-to-back, there was also the reason why Durant was changing his game.

He has now realized that he can't just be a gunner beside Ye Si, he needs more things to help Ye Si and the team.

At the same time, he also wants to use progress in other aspects to gather energy, settle his mood, and seek breakthroughs and take-off on the offensive end.

Durant's current performance in the game is indeed quite awkward.

On March 26, 2008, the Seattle SuperSonics defeated the second-place Wizards in the Eastern Conference 110-104 at home.

The Wizards are second in the Eastern Conference and should be in very good shape, but the Wizards in this game allowed Ye Si and everyone to see how big the gap between the strong teams in the Eastern Conference and the strong teams in the Western Conference is now.

Eastern Conference teams like the Wizards and Celtics are beginning to adjust and slow down their form for the playoffs.

The SuperSonics and Western Conference teams are really working hard now!

Let’s not talk about the strength of the Wizards and SuperSonics.

The current status of the two teams, one is in the regular season, and the other is in the playoffs or even the Western Conference Finals!

The Sonics and Wizards are not alone.

On the same day on March 26, the Eastern Conference lost all the games between the Eastern Conference and the Western Conference. The second-place Wizards in the Eastern Conference lost to the SuperSonics. The Celtics, who were first in the Eastern Conference, were bloodbathed by the Suns at home. Garnett was tough. , I wanted to learn from Anthony Yao Ming and beat down Stoudemire, but hardness is not as useful as softness in this regard. Stoudemire was not beaten down, but Stoudemire was angered and exploded.

In addition to these two Eastern Conference hegemons, another matchup between the Eastern Conference and the Western Conference is also eye-catching. The Cavaliers, ninth in the Eastern Conference, face the Thunder, eighth in the Western Conference, at home.

110 to 99, the Cavaliers were defeated by Tyson Chandler's layup at home!

After the game, the whole world saw the two leading players of the Cavaliers. O'Neal, who scored 29 points on 13 of 19 shots, and James, who scored 21 points on 6 of 14 shots, stood under the basket and looked at each other coldly. The other person’s eyes.

Old fans who are a little more sensitive will definitely not be familiar with this scene.

This scene appeared in Los Angeles before...

Kobe, who had been paying attention to the game after the game with the Bobcats, looked at this scene and even took a cigar that had never been lit before and put it into his mouth with a smile and took a few puffs, as if it was really lit. .

This picture is so beautiful!

He just likes to see this fat guy floating... The story in the future will definitely be interesting!
