Chapter 609: Zero Steel City!

Key Arena in Seattle on May 11, 2008.

After the Seattle SuperSonics defeated the Suns by 16 points and gained the match point in this series, the entire Seattle seemed to be restless and crazy at this moment.

The Seattle fans at the scene, the Seattle fans in the square outside the stadium, and the Seattle fans watching TV at home are all celebrating with the crazy team.

A week ago, Seattle fans were still immersed in the miracle of reversing the Nuggets 0-3.

In this greatest miracle in NBA history, Seattle fans are a little bit unable to extricate themselves.

After knowing that their opponents were the Phoenix Suns, the defending champions who had lost 12 games in two years and eliminated them personally last year, most people believed that the magical season of Yes and the SuperSonics was about to end.

When the team's season is about to end with a miracle, they are satisfied.

They want their young team to end like this.

They really didn't expect that after completing the miracle of reversal against the Nuggets 0-3, there would be another miracle waiting for them!

"They are the defending champions!"

"Fix Sun is the defending champion!"

"The defending champion, who is still at the peak of his strength, was actually led 3-0 in the playoffs!"

Looking at the picture on the TV, Jr. Smith muttered to himself with his eyes wide open.

And Anthony, who was licking his wounds and vacationing with friends next to him, looked a little distracted.

"Yes, this time, I said you will lose again, right? It's 3-0 now!"

It was that first night in Denver, and that was a chance encounter in the dark passage outside the locker room of the arena.

That was not a provocation, that was another friendly reminder.

"I'm not going to fall in one place the same way twice."

"I'm still standing."

“Still moving forward.

"

After that pass, what awaited him was the miracle of a 0-3 comeback that is now regarded as a legend by the entire NBA and the world.

It is difficult for Anthony to describe Yes's look and tone during that encounter.

It was a kind of peace that was so peaceful that it even made people feel a little frightened.

The feeling that the road ahead was smooth and without any obstacles made Anthony feel incredible.

You know, at that time, Yes had clearly been pushed into the pit by him!

At that time, Yes did not talk to him standing on flat ground, standing at the starting point of a smooth road. At that time, Yes stood in a pit and talked to him.

But at that time, Yes had no such awareness at all.

At that time, Anthony felt that this was Yes' stubbornness, and he had always been like this.

The whole world says his teammates are trash, and he just wants to love those trash.

The whole world says that if he wants to win the championship and succeed faster, he needs to change his current style, but he is still patiently following his fairy tale-like style.

This is Yes, this is the Yes that he has always respected and even respected.

At the same time, this is also the Yes that he has always wanted to change, want to wake up, or even wake up!

But……

In the end, Yes was not awakened by him, nor was he woken up by him.

In the end, he was nailed into the history of the NBA forever by Yes.

And now...

Looking at the big score on TV, Anthony realized how naive he was.

I'm still standing, I'm still on the right path, I'm still moving forward.

These words, Yes are not just for him!

At the same time, there is also the current opponent of the SuperSonics, the Suns who eliminated the SuperSonics last season!

The defending champion last season may now suffer the same humiliation as him.

Who was the last defending champion to be swept out of the playoffs the following year?

Even last year, the Heat, known as one of the weakest defending champions in history, were not swept by the Bulls!

If the Suns are swept by Yes and the SuperSonics this year, it will definitely go down in NBA history.

You know, the Suns are not one of the weakest defending champions in history.

Public opinion before the Suns has always been that they are the strongest defending champion in history!

Even the Suns, the strongest defending champion in history, can't stop Yes from moving forward?

"Yes, why do you think you can get to the end in your so-called correct way?!"

"Why?"

"strength."

strength!

This was the last sound that disappeared into the darkness.

Still cool, calm, and full of confidence.

And now, he has really seen the strength he said...

16 of 28 shots, 48 ​​points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists.

This is the data shown on TV in this game.

Facing the blockade of Laga Bell and Grant Hill, he played an almost god-like game!

The score is only 2 points away from getting a 50+ triple-double in the playoffs!

"Yes! Yes! Yes!"

"Yes! Yes! Yes!"

"Yes! Yes! Yes!"

Listening to the crazy yes sounds coming from the TV, Anthony's expression kept changing.

At this time, the image of the SuperSonics No. 9 was already in the mind of this new player in the league.

The expressions on the faces of Chris Paul and Dwyane Wade next to him are equally wonderful now.

Among the Four Heroes, James is the only one missing this time. This is not because James and Anthony have not yet reconciled, but because James is now staying in Cleveland to deal with the issue between him and the Cavaliers boss.

For Wade and Paul, they are here to give Anthony psychological comfort.

Being beaten to a 0-3 reversal, in Paul's opinion, was even worse than being beaten to 58 points.

As the two major losers this season, the two of them also wanted to accompany Anthony to see how Yes was abused in front of the Suns.

In the end, they really didn't expect that the one who was tortured in the end was not the Sonics or Yes, but the Sun!

As the last defending champion, Wade clearly knows that the Suns are different from their Heat.

The Suns are so scary that they have been considered the strongest team in history for most of this season!

It is such a team that has no resistance in front of Yes!

It's 3-0, and it's about to be swept 4-0!

Who could have imagined this?

This result is not only shocking to them, but the whole world is probably in shock now.

In fact, at this time in the Key Arena, except for the Seattle fans present, most everyone else was indeed in a state of severe shock.

After being beaten 2-0 by the Sonics in this series, many people felt that a 3-0 victory was very possible.

The Suns are not good at adapting. Now when the Suns face the SuperSonics, the tactics that have always been useful are useless, and the Suns' shortcomings have been exposed by the Nuggets.

It can be said that the Sun is really under attack from both sides.

It is really not easy for the Suns to reverse this decline.

It is very difficult for Suns like this to get a good result after coming to Seattle.

But no matter how difficult it is, I really didn't expect it to be so difficult.

The big score of 3-0, when this imagined big score actually happens, it will still be a little hard to accept.

It’s really hard to accept!

The hardest thing to accept was not other people, not even the two on-site commentators from CCTV, Mr. Zhang Lili and Su Qun.

You know, the Suns were China’s nemesis last season!

In last season's playoffs, the Suns eliminated the Rockets in the second round and the SuperSonics in the third round.

The two so-called Chinese home teams all fell in front of the Suns.

So much so that in the domestic commentary industry, there has always been a situation where the color of the sun changes after hearing about it.

Coupled with this season's regular season, the Rockets and SuperSonics really did not beat the Suns in the early stages.

Therefore, the Suns are really like a big boss in the domestic basketball world.

Once upon a time, the Suns were a candidate for the strongest team in history in the United States, but in China, the Suns are the strongest team in NBA history!

Even at the end of the season, because the Suns found a loophole by the Nuggets and were defeated by the Rockets two games in a row, domestic basketball experts felt that the playoffs were not that optimistic.

The Suns may still be the Rockets' biggest opponent on the road to the championship.

But just like this, the biggest opponent on the Rockets' road to the championship, fell in front of Ye Si?

0 to 3!

This is a sudden collapse!

Once upon a time, in the minds of Zhang Lili and Su Qun, Ye Si had always been a strong player but a weak team.

They are not the only ones who feel this way, even many SuperSonics fans in the country feel this way.

SuperSonics players have the most nicknames among domestic fans.

Durant has nicknames such as Tie Du, Tie Shen, Du Fifteen, etc. that are not so elegant.

As for Rondo, there are even more nicknames, such as Long Center, Seattle Iron King, Long Buqun, Long Gaoxing, Long Iron Hand, etc.

Even Milicic, who is considered the most recognized in the country, has some nicknames such as Mihanhan, non-mainstream, etc. I don’t know how to say it.

Regarding these SuperSonics teammates of Ye Si, everyone has the same opinion. Domestic fans even hate the idea that iron cannot become steel even more than fans in the United States.

This "hating iron cannot become steel" not only means an idiom, but also has a very practical meaning.

How many opportunities has Yes created for you in these two seasons?

Rondo last season, Durant this season, and other Sonics players, you guys are also very skilled, right?

It is said that steel can be made through a hundred attempts, but you are more than that!

You already have a thousand refinements, but why are you still iron? Why can't it become steel?

Why is Seattle still a city where Iron Gods and Iron Kings gather together? Why can’t Seattle be transformed from an Iron City into a Steel City!

Domestic fans really have very mixed feelings about the Seattle SuperSonics and Seattle SuperSonics players.

But now...

Director Zhang Lili and Su Qunzai looked blankly at the technical statistics in their hands.

At this time, the studio hall at the back must be playing the crazy shouts of the studio's expert host.

Their pictures and sounds were cut off. If domestic TV fans want to see them and hear their voices again, they have to wait until they interview Ye Si on the spot.

So now they can express their surprise and confusion to their heart's content.

Looking at the technical statistics of this game sent by their assistants, they were really shocked.

Ye Si's 40+ triple-double data of 48 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists is certainly the most shocking.

It was almost a 50+ triple-double. As long as Ye Si wanted to, he could throw another one at the last moment, but he didn't. He spent the last 20 seconds standing there.

In addition to Yeez, Durant's data was 11 of 26 shots, 32 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist.

In this game, Durant had the worst statistics in the series, but the defender in front of him was not Grant Hill, but Marion!

In front of Marion, he still scored 32 points with a 42% shooting rate!

This is definitely an All-Star level!

If the two explosive statistics Durant got in the previous two games were to bully Grant Hill, then this game is the final game that confirms Durant's All-Star ability.

And besides Durant?

Rondo made 1 of 8 shots, 4 points, 15 rebounds and 12 assists.

Milicic made 4 of 9 shots, 11 points and 6 rebounds. The key was 5 fouls. Milicic left his penalty area throughout the game, running wildly throughout the game, staring at Stoudemire and Star. Demire tangled.

Millsap, 2 of 8 shots, 6 points and 10 rebounds, Milicic's key is 5 blocks.

After Milicic was completely contained by Stoudemire, Millsap successfully defended the Seattle SuperSonics' basket.

On the bench, Barea's data was 7 of 12 shots and 16 points!

Facing the eight-star Suns, even if they were on the bench in this game, the SuperSonics bench group led by Barea did not suffer too much.

Look at the names in the technical statistics and the vivid data behind the names.

Su Qun and Zhang Lili took a deep breath almost at the same time.

Once upon a time, Seattle was a city full of rust and ruins.

But now, with Ye Si's wholehearted refining and carving, this rusty ruined iron city has become a hundred-mile steel city that shines under the sun and is full of hope and perseverance!

Even facing the despair of 0-3 and the strongest team in history, Baili Steel City was not afraid at all!

"Those useless pieces of wood covered in rust have now become the steel pillars that hold the sky in this steel city!"

Looking at the confident and arrogant expressions on the faces of the young players surrounding Ye Si on the court, this shocked them even more than the victory in this game.

In the blink of an eye, those players who were wildly complained and ridiculed by domestic fans have grown to this level one by one.

After the game between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Suns ended, it had a huge impact on the entire NBA, and it was huge and devastating.

When the Seattle SuperSonics led the Suns 2-0, the discussion was that the defending champion might be eliminated.

As for the Suns' loss in this game, what the world should discuss is no longer the loss of the defending champion, but the possibility that the defending champion will be swept.

"Although I know I will be criticized by you for saying this, I still want to say it!"

"Yes and his SuperSonics may be the protagonists of the most incredible NBA in history this year!"

Pippen's words in the TNT team are shocking!
