Chapter 603 Durant in the third year and the regular season MVP(1/2)
"Seattle SuperSonics, won..."
At the American West Arena in Phoenix, even though the game was over, both SuperSonics fans and Suns fans were still in shock.
This result was truly something they had never imagined!
They didn't come to watch this game to watch the Sonics beat the Suns, because that was simply impossible. They came to watch this game simply to celebrate yes.
This is the first game after Yes's miracle. There were 25,000 spectators in the game where Yes performed the miracle, and they were not one of them. They were looking for opportunities to make up for this game.
But what is this?
The Seattle SuperSonics finally won at America West Arena!
At the end of the game, the defending champion Suns were beaten by the SuperSonics and were so confused that they didn't know what to do for a while.
After the game ended, most of the audience at the scene, except for the commentators from various countries around the world, were confused about the result of the game.
Including those media reporters in the press gallery.
Take two reporters from CCTV, Wang Han and Lin Rui, for example.
Before the game started, they had already thought of the title for tonight's NBA frontline content.
Now CCTV is paying attention to Ye's playoff journey, but most of the focus is on the impact of Ye's 0-3 miracle comeback in the first round.
The last episode was about the views of the President and dignitaries of the United States, while this episode is about rich businessmen and celebrities. As for the Western Conference semifinals between the SuperSonics and the Suns, which are currently being played.
It's not important anymore, it's really not important anymore.
As long as the Sonics don't lose so ugly against the Suns in the second round, that'll be fine.
After the SuperSonics made such a miraculous comeback in the first round, even Coconut Black can't criticize the Leafs for this year's playoffs.
Although she does not agree with many people's statement, after the SuperSonics and Nuggets' great comeback miracle, many people said that this miracle is comparable to a championship event!
In other words, for Ye Si, he has already won the championship this year.
This view that Pippen came up with is quite bluffing. Although she does not agree with it very much, it is recognized by many people.
She's well aware of how much her American counterparts now value the first-round series between the Sonics and the Nuggets.
She also knows very clearly why her American colleagues attach so much importance to the SuperSonics' first-round series.
We are all media people, how can we not be clear about such operation methods?
Isn't it just to create the feeling: SuperSonics lost, yes didn't lose!
To be fair, if there was no hope for this series between the SuperSonics and the Suns, how could their counterparts on CCTV and the United States reduce the influence of the second round of the SuperSonics-Suns game?
And it is actively lowered.
Because they took the initiative to increase the influence of this series, many coconut fans may think that they are in Black Leaf.
Even those black media who want to increase the influence of this series are embarrassed to ask the SuperSonics and Leafs to win this series.
Even these coconut black media know that if they have such a request, they will definitely be seen as being in Heyesi. Even these coconut black media know that this is a matter where they cannot even get a loan.
But now, Yeas actually led the Sonics to win at America West Arena!
Wang Han looked around at his American colleagues who had recovered from the shock and disbelief. The expressions in his beautiful eyes were still full of surprise and disbelief.
She clearly knows what impact victory in this game will have on public opinion tomorrow.
The reason why colleagues across the country and around the world have lowered their coverage of this series is not because they don't want to report it.
But they want to protect Yes.
It's true that the Leafs and the Sonics can't beat the Suns.
Now, the Sonics defeated the Suns in this game, that's different!
He clearly knows the urinary nature of her peers, and they will burst out all the energy they have been holding back!
Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
Of course it’s a bad thing!
How great is the hope, how great is the disappointment!
This is still the first game!
The playoffs are a best-of-seven series, and the Sonics have only won one now.
Can the Sonics win the next game?
Based on the strength comparison between the SuperSonics and the Suns, the final result is likely to be unfavorable to the SuperSonics.
Who knows what Durant will do in the next game after his steady performance and bravery in this game?
When the balloon was inflated, it finally burst, and only Ye Si was injured.
These people will protect Yes, but the only media in the world that are dedicated to Yes is the domestic media and the Seattle media.
Ye Si and his SuperSonics' victory in this game opened a Pandora's box of whether it is an angel or a devil...
The Seattle SuperSonics defeated the Suns in the first game of the Western Conference semifinals. This was a result that shocked most people around the world.
After the game, Taiyang returned to the locker room and still had not recovered from this incredible result.
They really didn't expect Durant to explode in this game before the game!
They have plans for Durant in this game.
They had seen Durant's last game in the series against the Nuggets.
Durant's ball-handling offense in the last game became more stable after sacrificing his own frequency, and his mistakes were reduced to almost none.
In order to cope with Durant's extremely slow drastic change of direction with the ball, D'Antoni deliberately added Grant Hill to the starting lineup in this game.
Last season's starter Diaw was pulled from the starting lineup because of his slowness and defensive deviations.
This is the trick the Suns used specifically to deal with Durant.
They are not fools. Although they know that Durant is a player with quasi-All-Star potential, this player is still the scoring leader and is still the most threatening player for the Sonics besides Yes.
But what about in the end?
Durant still broke out!
Looking at the still incredible looks on the faces of the players in the locker room, D'Antoni's face was ugly.
He can understand why the players have such expressions.
Facing Grant Hill's single defense, Durant made 16 of 30 shots in this game and scored 46 points in a single game!
Durant's scoring in this game was enough to make the Suns feel heartbroken, both in terms of quality and quantity.
The Suns can use Yes to take him out of the game. The basis of the tactics is that the Sonics do not have a second stable singles point.
Grant Hill is indeed older now.
Grant Hill is 36 years old this year.
But Grant Hill's performance in the Suns this year has been rated very high.
Whether it's the offensive end or the defensive end, he gets very high evaluations.
He averaged 13 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block per game, and his contributions on both offense and defense were outstanding.
His contribution in isolation and isolation defense is indispensable to the Suns.
In the regular season, there is no player in the entire NBA who can stably beat Grant Hill in isolation.
Not to mention Durant, a player with the highest potential who is a quasi-All-Star, even an ordinary All-Star player may not be able to produce stable singles output against Grant Hill!
Facing Grant Hill's defense, players who can stabilize their singles output must have at least a 45% shooting percentage and an average of more than 25 points per game to be truly capable of scoring!
What we are talking about here is the real scoring ability, and those who are promoted like Durant do not count.
In the NBA this season, there are only a few players such as Yes, Kobe, Iverson, Nash, and Wade who can satisfy the 45% and average more than 25 points per game.
At the very least, Durant is definitely not one of them!
It's not that he looks down on Durant, but Durant's strength is not to mention that he is still a rookie. Even if he has played in the NBA for more than ten years, his true scoring ability cannot reach a shooting rate of more than 45% and average points per game.
25 points or more!
No matter what the future holds for Durant.
But in this game, Durant really broke out.
There is no problem with Grant Hill's performance. Durant's singles breakthrough in this game changed from the slowness of the Nuggets. The frequency of this game is very fast. For Grant Hill now, he really can't keep up.
on.
Durant really performed beyond his level in this game, with such a high frequency and still not making too many mistakes.
D'Antoni knew he couldn't fault Grant Hill for guarding Durant, and he did what he was supposed to do.
Durant's potential is that of a quasi-All-Star player, and Durant's current strength is almost that of a quasi-All-Star player due to the ripening of yes.
Such players are qualified and capable to break out in the game.
This situation is not unheard of in NBA playoff history.
To be continued...
