Chapter 575: The ‘Magician’ in the Supersonics Training Center

On April 13, 2008, outside the Seattle SuperSonics training facility, Seattle SuperSonics players were conducting sprint training for the last two games of the regular season in the training facility.

Outside the training hall, media reporters from all over the world have almost blocked the door outside the training hall.

"The Nuggets defeated the Rockets at home last night, and the situation is getting more and more unfavorable to the SuperSonics."

"After the Rockets defeated the Suns again on April 11, this game on April 12 directly rotated all the team's main players. The Rockets were already on board with the last two games left."

"The Rockets' last two opponents are the Jazz and the Clippers. Their current record is 71 wins and 9 losses, while the Suns' record is 69 wins and 11 losses. It can be said that even if they lose to the Nuggets, the Rockets will lose in the next two games. If they can win completely, even if they don't fight the Nuggets, the Rockets will have no problem taking first place in the league and breaking the Bulls' regular season win record. On the contrary, it will be the Suns. The Suns' remaining two opponents are the Trail Blazers and the Grizzlies. It’s not easy to fight.”

"The Grizzlies' current record is 64 wins and 16 losses, the Nuggets' current record is 66 wins and 14 losses, the Grizzlies' remaining two games are the Nuggets and the Suns, and the Nuggets' remaining two opponents are the Grizzlies and the Super League. The speed of sound.”

"The Rockets have now landed, and the Suns have now basically confirmed their second place in the Western Conference. The four teams now ranked third to seventh in the Western Conference, the current situation is too confusing."

"It's not confusing. The Lakers are now 65 wins and 15 losses. No matter how the results of other focus games change, it has nothing to do with them. Whether they are fifth in the Western Conference or sixth in the Western Conference, their destiny is no longer in their hands. However, if the Sonics are third, I think the Suns will definitely want to be sixth in the Western Conference. The Lakers will hope that the Nuggets will win the next two games and the SuperSonics will defeat the Spurs, so that the Lakers can be perfect in the playoffs. In the first round, we met the third-place SuperSonics in the Western Conference."

"On April 14th, the SuperSonics Spurs, Nuggets and Grizzlies, and on April 16th, the SuperSonics Nuggets and Suns and Grizzlies. The results of these four games will determine the success or failure of these teams this season!"

"SuperSonics, Spurs, Nuggets, Grizzlies, Suns..."

"The Spurs are in the best situation right now. No matter what the outcome is, they are fourth in the Western Conference. They are on the same boat as the Rockets and the Suns, but they are deciding between the SuperSonics, Nuggets and Grizzlies. The team whose destiny matters most."

"As long as the Spurs defeat the SuperSonics at home, in this game between the SuperSonics and the Nuggets, we may be able to see the craziest Nuggets in history, although the current Nuggets and Anthony are already very crazy."

"The Sonics are really having a hard time right now.

It is very likely that it will be either a total victory or a total defeat. Losing to the Spurs will give the Nuggets a chance, and there is a high probability of losing another game. "

"Similarly, if the Sonics can beat the Spurs on the road, then the game between the Sonics and the Nuggets will not be so important. Of course, if the Nuggets lose to the Grizzlies, this game will still be important to the Nuggets. Very importantly, if the Nuggets continue to lose, they will fall to seventh place. The Suns will definitely not fight the Grizzlies in the last game. However, if the Sonics defeat the Spurs, I guess the Sonics will not fight the Nuggets in the last game. ?”

"So, now for the Sonics, in the next game against the Spurs, the Sonics must win. If the Sonics want to keep their third position, they must defeat the Spurs, who are now in good form, in their next away game! "

Can the Seattle SuperSonics beat the Spurs?

No one outside the Sonics training facility is confident right now.

The Spurs' recent state is really good. They just defeated the Lakers and deprived the Lakers of their destiny.

In the next game against the Nuggets, the Spurs will control the fate of the SuperSonics, Nuggets and Grizzlies.

No one thought that this team would now become the "controller of destiny" in the Western Conference!

And judging from the recent interview given by Spurs head coach Popovich, Popovich has no intention of holding back in this game.

This is preparing to send the SuperSonics to the sixth position in the Western Conference.

After all, Yes's crazy ten consecutive three-pointers did a lot of harm to the Spurs. Both the Spurs and Popovich have become the biggest background in the league.

Maybe for Duncan, this matter of background board or not is not that important, but for Popovich, it is hard to say.

What's more, the Spurs have lost 11 games in the past two seasons. The Spurs and SuperSonics' record in the previous 12 games was 11 losses and 1 win. This record is too miserable.

Such a record is very detrimental to the reputation of a famous coach. With a team that is stronger than the opponent, he played 12 games with the opponent and lost 11 games. How dare you say that you are a famous coach?

Although Popovich has never mentioned the shame of the record in interviews, it is impossible to say that a person like Popovich, who is determined to retaliate, can accept such a record as easily as Duncan did.

Popovich may have already been thinking about how to take a good bite of Yes and the SuperSonics.

And now, isn't it the best opportunity?

As long as he defeats SuperSonics and Yes in the next game, and personally sends SuperSonics and Yes into the abyss, then although the humiliation he encountered in front of Yes' SuperSonics cannot be washed away, he can still get some relief.

At least, in the history books, it can be written like this. Yes gave him the biggest background in history. In the end, he also gave Yes a collapse that shocked the world, and everyone was barely even.

This is a guess about the psychology of Popovich and the Spurs. Although it is a guess, it is almost the same.

In the next game, the SuperSonics can see the strongest posture of the Spurs, who may be one of the strongest defenses in the league!

The last time the Sonics played against the Spurs, Yes also saw the Spurs who had Bowen again.

But Bowen in that game and Bowen now are completely different.

At that time, Bowen had just come back and had not played a game for more than half a year. Even if he recovered well, his strength was only 80% of his peak at best.

But now, Bowen's strength is definitely back to its peak!

In the previous game between the Spurs and the Lakers, even a peerless killer like Kobe Bryant was shocked by Bowen's defense. In the end, because Kobe underestimated Bowen's defense, the Lakers finally lost to the Spurs and lost the opportunity to control their own destiny. .

According to many expert media in the league, the Spurs' current strength has far exceeded the previous three seasons when they won the championship.

That is to say, in such a magical season, the Spurs are not the number one favorite for the championship.

If it were any other normal season, the Spurs could become the biggest favorites for the championship this year, including 2007 when the Suns won last season!

The Spurs are now in good shape and are preparing to give their mortal enemy the Sonics a fatal blow.

And what about supersonic speed?

Almost all the media reporters from the United States and the world outside the door hope that they can see through everything inside the door.

But obviously, they don't have such superpowers.

They really want to know what the current state and psychology of the Sonics players are like.

But except for the local media in Seattle and those media reporters from China, no one knew about it.

"We only know that under the leadership of Yes, the SuperSonics have not collapsed yet!"

The SuperSonics have not collapsed yet, and this may be their biggest expectation for the outcome of the game between the SuperSonics and the Spurs.

Outside the training hall is a crowd of media, while inside the training hall are SuperSonics players who are training seriously.

In fact, the training was said to be serious. Although this seriousness was serious, it left the CCTV interview team next to me quite speechless.

"Sister Han, can we really not capture these scenes?"

"no!"

,

Wang Han glared fiercely at the camera next to him.

Lin Rui, who had been standing next to him, was a little embarrassed.

Of course, such a scene cannot be photographed, because there is no way to explain it, okay?

The other Sonics players are training seriously, but Ye Si is now facing a large pot, fishing coins out of the pot, just like those jugglers in costume dramas who take copper coins from a frying pan.

The current situation of the SuperSonics is so difficult. Even domestic teams are very clear about the current situation of the SuperSonics and are also quite worried.

Now domestic fans feel that the atmosphere within the SuperSonics team must be suffocating with tension.

In this case, how could they pass such a picture back?

What made Lin Rui very embarrassed was that she was the reason why Ye Si did this.

Today, Ye Si suddenly spoke to him. Lin Rui thought that Ye Si could not bear it anymore and was about to extend his exciting claws to her. Unexpectedly, Ye Si asked her an incomprehensible question out of nowhere.

"Who is the person with the fastest hands you have ever seen?"

Who is the person with the fastest hands?

Lin Rui really didn't know why Ye Si asked her such a question inexplicably, but did the answer to this question need to be said?

"Thief, I have been robbed by thieves several times, and I was discovered every time."

"By the way, there's also the craftsman I saw in our hometown when I was a kid who stole money and had very fast hands. Magicians are also a group of people with fast hands. You NBA players His hand speed is also very good.”

When Lin Rui said this, she was still a little uneasy. After all, although she had never really seen the sacred scene of Ye Si hitting Lu Chuxue with a baseball bat, she had watched the video many times.

It is indeed the hand speed of being single for more than 20 years.

Well, each other, hand speed regardless of victory or defeat.

Lin Rui was puzzled by Ye Si's inexplicable question. After saying those words to her, Ye Si nodded inexplicably, and then asked the SuperSonics staff to pick up a pot at the side of the training field and fill it up. Cold water and coins, and then practice "getting money out of the frying pan" is even more confusing.

Not only was she confused, but everyone present was also confused.

Now the battle between the Spurs and SuperSonics is imminent.

As the leading player of the Sonics, he is still in the mood to play such an interesting game!

Of course Ye Si is not playing any games now.

After replacing Owen Card, Yes's ball-handling potential will reach 90. After the strength attribute reaches the upper limit due to completing Barea's task, Yes's current attributes can continue to improve in three of them.

And now...

Yes is trying to improve his tackling attributes.

Controlling the ball, layups, steals...

After Ye Si's power reached 80, for these three attributes that were difficult to overcome but must be overcome, Ye Si finally chose to steal.

As Durant has improved in passing and breakthrough ball control this month, the SuperSonics' ball control is sufficient for the time being, and layups are also sufficient for the time being.

Only steals are what the Sonics need most right now.

The Sonics currently lack a player who can defend like a sharp knife. He is the Sonics' defensive shield, an unbreakable shield, but he is not a sharp knife yet, and he is not aggressive in perimeter defense.

Ye Si didn't know if this method would work.

At the beginning, hand speed was also required to roll a baseball bat for the agility attribute, but rolling a baseball bat was pure hand speed, but removing coins from the pot was not pure hand speed, it required quick eyesight and quick hands.

There is no problem with Ye Si's quick hands. After all, he was the one who used to play baseball bats and bleed.

Ye Si's main training now is eye diseases.

From the morning until now, for eight hours, Ye Si's tackling attribute panel has not moved at all.

Ye Si was not discouraged. He had also studied how to improve his stealing attributes before.

This method that Lin Rui reminded him of is the most reliable method.

He had a gut feeling that this method would work.

But, he's not fast enough!

"Twenty-six!"

"Twenty-seven!"

Twenty-eight! "

"Twenty-nine!"

"twenty!"

Three times a second!

Thirty times in ten seconds!

Time is shortening!

And it’s faster than twice a second at the beginning of the morning!

Ye Si didn't know how fast he needed to go, but he knew that three times a second was not his limit. As long as he had not reached the limit, this method could not be said to be a failure for the time being.

Um?

Just when Ye Si shook his hand and was about to continue, the steal attribute that had not been touched for a long time was moved.

Steals: 71 (90).

Steal, +1!

"Is Ye Si okay?"

Why are you suddenly in a daze?

Aren't you stupid?

Just when Lin Rui was worried, SuperSonics No. 14, who had just been in a daze, became more motivated.

Seeing the scene of hand shadows, Lin Rui was speechless, and Wang Han next to him and the other CCTV interviewers around him were also speechless.

"What a wonderful magic trick. Yes is also a great magician!"

"I didn't expect Yes to go to such an extent to relieve pressure for other Sonics players!"

Hearing the extremely admiring voices of their American counterparts in Seattle, the reporters of the CCTV interview team were speechless and felt that they still had a lot to learn...
