"Yes, I really want to play ball for Marc Gasol!"

"In the first half of the game, yes wanted to play for Marc Gasol, who was starting for the first time in this game!"

"Chris Paul is so witty!"

"When yes held the ball and broke through to the free throw line, he frantically flanked yes. When yes jumped to pass the ball and was about to find Marc Gasol, he helped defend and flank Marc Gasol. In the end, he forced all of yes's passes.

Rondo’s hands!”

"In this half of the game, the Thunder's tactical layout and Chris Paul's on-the-spot judgment and command on the court were perfect!"

At the end of the half, Kenny Smith, who recovered from the shock of the half-time score, was all praise for Chris Paul.

To be honest, the Oklahoma City Thunder are really not that strong now. After Chandler left, because the city is small, even if there is salary space, those strong players simply will not come.

In the end, the Thunder were reluctant to give the maximum salary to players with average strength.

In the end, Alongre, a player with quite average strength, could only be allowed to serve as the team's center.

What kind of center is Aaron Gray?

With a height of 2.13 meters and a weight of 122 kilograms, this is Milicic without speed or bounce!

To put it simply, it is a human shield.

A low-end version of Milicic without Milicic's athletic ability and support ability.

With such a mediocre center who couldn't play on most teams, Chris Paul suddenly brought the Thunder and this mediocre center together.

Because he can be used as a human shield and cover for Paul, and because he has certain shooting ability and good touch, he can play pick-and-roll for Paul. Therefore, Aaron Gray, who averaged 10 minutes per game last season and only averaged 4 points and 3 rebounds per game, this

This season, he was fed by Chris Paul, who averaged 16 points and 7 rebounds per game.

He averaged 32 minutes per game and averaged 16 points and 7 rebounds per game. If you just look at the statistics, these are truly top-notch center statistics.

But as long as they watch the Thunder's games, no one will think that Gray is a first-class center.

Except for Gray receiving Paul's pass and throwing it, except for receiving Paul's pass under the basket and putting the ball in, except for being able to top up someone on the defensive end, Gray really doesn't have the same dominant ability as Chandler.

.

Gray's characteristics are precisely suitable for brushing up data, not suitable for winning against opponents.

Look at how many rebounds Gray allowed Yes to steal in the first half of this game.

Kenny Smith looked at the technical statistics of the two teams in the first half and it was really incredible.

6 of 12 shots, 16 points, 27 rebounds and 5 assists!

This is yes data!

In the first half of the game, yes's 16 points were abnormal. As a player who averaged 45 points per game during the season, he only took 12 shots and scored 16 points in the half. This is unqualified.

But considering that this game is mainly about making a wedding dress for Gasol, this is understandable.

So although the score looks abnormal, it is actually not that abnormal.

But this rebound!

This is really abnormal!

27 rebounds in the half!

Among the 27 rebounds, 17 were offensive rebounds!

Of the 25 irons Rondo hit, 15 eventually turned into yes's offensive rebounds, and yes himself also had two self-shot shots and steals in the first half.

From the data of yes, we can see how bad Gray's protection at the basket is. After being blocked by Marc Gasol, there is no way to protect the Thunder's inside line.

Let Yes in it and you can do whatever you want!

Although David West is also responsible for the Thunder's rebounding data in the first half, as a power forward, David West is farther from the basket. Similarly, David West's opponent Millsap is also quite powerful.

Even more powerful than Marc Gasol.

Compared to David West's responsibility, there is no doubt that Gray's responsibility is greater.

But from the other side, yes grabbed 17 offensive rebounds in the half, but in the end the Seattle SuperSonics were still 15 points behind. From this, it can be seen that there is really someone worse than Gray on the SuperSonics side.

Players!

There is no doubt who this player is more cheating than Gray!

In the first half, he took 32 shots and made 7 of 32 shots!

I played with yes on the court for 22 minutes in the first half, and in the end I hit 25 irons in 22 minutes. This statistic is simply incredible!

From a statistical point of view, Gray and Rondo's statistics in the first half were both excellent.

Gray scored 12 points and 4 rebounds in the first half.

Rondo scored a game-high 18 points in the first half and had 4 rebounds and 2 assists.

But after watching the first half of this game, no one really thought Rondo's performance was good.

The half-time game between the SuperSonics and Thunder was shocking.

The fans who watched this game were really shocked by Rondo's terrifying sound of hitting the iron in the first half!

Yes, you really trust Rondo!

Rondo really dares to throw it!

At this time, many people have these two sentiments in their hearts, including Kenny Smith and Barkley.

And in the Seattle SuperSonics locker room.

In the locker room, everyone's eyes were on Rondo.

Some people's eyes are envious, some people's eyes are surprised, some people's eyes are admiring, and some people's eyes are respectful.

And what about Rondo himself?

Rondo, who was squatting in front of Ye Si and massaging Ye Si's legs, had a proud look on his face!

Did you see it?

Did you little trash see that?

This is Ye Jiuye’s feelings for Erye!

This is Ye Jiuye’s intention to assist the second master in boxing!

Even if the second master has hit the iron 25 times in the first half, Ye Jiuye will still trust the second master, respect the second master, and pass the ball to the second master!

What is Sonic Boss?

This is the boss of the Sonics!

Rondo, who was squeezing Ye Si's leg, subconsciously leaned back. Because there was no chair behind him, Rondo almost sat on the ground.

Of course, as the boss of the Sonics, it is also appropriate to use your body and hands to reward your subordinates during halftime.

In the first half of the game between the SuperSonics and the Thunder, the Thunder lost 15 points, but the atmosphere in the locker room was still very harmonious.

Although the score of the game between the SuperSonics and the Thunder was a draw, the scene on the court was completely different.

The initiative on the court lies with the Sonics.

This also made Old Nelson quite relieved.

Yes was too selfless in the first half. He had to go deep and connect with Marc Gasol. With Yes's football intelligence, when the team needed to win, he would naturally change his style of play. In fact, he didn't do it at all.

No matter what he needs to say, the Sonics will definitely return to normal in the second half.

You can't go to the basket to help Rondo with the iron in this game and rebound the ball yourself, right?

Rebounding?

Why!

What's more, yes is not someone who cares about statistics. Even if he cares about statistics, he wouldn't care about rebounds, which are useless statistics for defenders.

"Mr. Nelson, do you really not need to say anything?"

"Need not."

As the team's assistant coach, Malikros was a little worried, but the confident smile on Nelson's face was very reassuring.

In the first half of the game, the SuperSonics played very poorly.

The half-time break is over.

The two teams appeared on the court again.

The Thunder didn't change their tactics because they were leading in the first half, Aaron Gray, David West, Peja, Russell Butler, and Chris Paul.

What is surprising is that the Seattle SuperSonics trailed by 15 points at halftime. Many people felt that after the halftime break, Nelson must make tactical and personnel adjustments.

But after the start of the second half, the Sonics' starting players also remained unchanged, with Marc Gasol starting, Millsap, Ibaka, Yes and Rondo.

Also exactly the same!

"Based on Rondo's performance in the first half, no matter how tolerant the team boss is, he will let Rondo go down and rest."

"Rondo's touch was very bad in this game, but from the beginning of the game, yes, knowing that Rondo's touch was extremely bad, he kept Rondo with him all the time. After the pass to Marc Gasol was blocked,

But he immediately helped Rondo find his touch and passed the ball to Rondo. Yes, it was so selfless!"

"When yes entered the NBA, many people said that yes's selflessness would harm yes. Although this statement was self-defeating after yes led Rondo, Millsap, and Milicic to win the championship.
