Chapter 867: Ice and Fire, the End of an Era of Darkness and Sin!
The attack range of the midfield and backfield is an area that Ye Si has never wanted to get involved in.
Although he is the player with the most hits in the midfield and backcourt since NBA statistics began.
But Ye Si's hits were basically helpless shots.
No matter how good the hand feels, shooting in the midfield or backcourt is not the right choice.
Yes is not the kind of person who likes to make incorrect choices.
He has a sense of adventure, but if he had the choice, he wouldn't take it.
And "I just want to Gan You" can get +20 touch in the next round after being singled out, and Zhu Fangyu's one-second four-star card reduces 100% of the shot speed and increases the three-point shooting ability by 20%, allowing Ye Si to At special moments, shooting three-pointers in the midfield and backcourt becomes not a risky choice, but a routine choice.
Yeas is now being defended more and more tightly in the NBA.
It is conceivable that it will definitely be more stringent in the future, and such methods are sometimes a trump card.
What's more, the skill "I'm Gan You" not only cooperates with Zhu Fangyu's one-second four-star card, this skill has a very unique effect in helping him deal with the opponent's suppression on the court.
It's like he's becoming more and more difficult to defend, so opponents are defending him more and more tightly.
If many teams find it difficult to guard him on the defensive end through pure defense, then these teams will find ways to suppress him on the offensive end.
Although the "I'll Gan You" skill can't break the suppression of these teams, it can turn a crisis into an opportunity.
In the seventh tiebreaker with the Spurs, there were many accidents. Bowen's good Spurs players went berserk and Ibaka exploded. These were all beyond his expectation and control.
At the same time, this unexpected game also gave him a lot of gains, giving him a very clear understanding of his teammates, his opponents, and himself.
The tie-break between the SuperSonics and the Spurs not only allowed Leafs to gain a lot, but also gained a lot from this game, and there were many more people who lost a lot.
After the game between the SuperSonics and the Spurs, when it came to the failure of this game, Popovich did not choose the 'next question method' this time. Everyone who participated in the post-game press conference could clearly feel that Popovich Vicki had many, many things to say that she was holding back.
General Bowen broke his leg again, the most humiliating defeat in NBA playoff history. This was a defeat that was enough to destroy the entire Spurs in theory and practice.
"The Spurs have always been considered the oldest and most experienced team in the league, but after this game, many people said that they have considered leaving the Spurs and saying goodbye to the NBA. What does the failure of this game mean to you and the Spurs? ?”
"It means we're too old for it."
"Is it because Yes makes you look so old?"
"That's a stupid question!"
"So, you admit that you failed in this game to prevent the Yes miracle from happening?"
"Are you sure you want to ask this question? I have never denied my failure in this game. Not only in this game, but in this series, I tried to prevent Yes from performing miracles, but he is Yes! You know, He is Yes! I cannot get what I have done because of what I have done. There is no inevitable connection between what I have done and what we have done. We failed not because we did not do enough. Well, it’s because Yes is too strong! From our perspective, it’s not because we are too old to move, but because we look too old in front of Yes!”
"You have watched a whole miracle,
After a whole game, can you think of such a question? Does anyone else have any meaningful questions to ask? ! "
"Pop, after this game is over, will you choose to resign? Just like those veterans who want to leave the NBA."
"Won't."
"Will you rebuild in the Spurs to take revenge? But the current Spurs are a ruins destroyed by Yes. Have you ever thought about how to rebuild? For example, what players should be traded this offseason?"
"What players do you want to trade? All the players except Bruce."
"Trade all the players except Bowen? Including Tim Duncan?"
"Of course, I've wanted to trade him for a long time, but he never listened to me."
"..."
"The last question is, how did you feel when you saw the miraculous three points of Yes? The most real emotion."
"In the first moment, I wanted to kill him. Kill him on the spot. He is a virus in the computer!"
"Soon, I became desperate. I wanted to kneel down in front of him, but just a little bit, my knees touched the floor. These were the words in my heart."
Popovich, who has been madly exchanging words with reporters throughout the series, was still so irritable after the game, but all the reporters present, whether they were reporters who wanted to see his joke or San Antonio The local reporters could see how tired he was.
In this post-game press conference, Popovich was not so much blaming reporters as he was desperately blaming himself.
"A team ranked first in the Western Conference and expected to win the championship this year has encountered such misfortune in front of Yes. It has witnessed a registration battle belonging to Yes. Popovich and the Spurs are so unlucky."
"And I got some news from the Spurs. Bowen seems to have rejected the treatment plan given by the Spurs' team doctors and experts, and chose a conservative treatment plan instead."
"Bowen chose conservative treatment? Given the injury to his left leg, if he chooses conservative treatment, he may not be able to play on the court in the future, right?"
"Not only can he not play on the court, but he is also likely to... limp."
"Sequelae... Although Bowen's injury is serious, if he cooperates with the treatment, There must be a high chance of being completely cured, right? He broke his leg last time, why did he choose conservative treatment this time? "
"Maybe he feels guilty... As the leader of the Spurs, he made the Spurs suffer the most humiliating defeat in NBA history. He has no face to return to the court. If he is really cured, can he just sit back and watch the Spurs like this? Maybe for Bowen now, limping and becoming a disabled person makes him feel more at ease. He is punishing himself in this way, and also escaping in this way..."
"Escape... What a real irony. Before this series started, we always thought Bowen was the strongest defensive player in history, standing at the pinnacle of basketball and NBA defense. After this series, We realized how ridiculous it was. Yes was at the top of the NBA and basketball offense, but on the mountain of defense opposite to Yes, the top position was still empty, and Bowen was at best the one closest to the top. "
"Yes, it was a mistake for us to shape Bowen into the person opposite to Yes. In these seven games, he was completely defeated by Yes. Facts have proved that he is only one of the best defensive players in the NBA so far. However, even so, he is not the first person responsible for the humiliation suffered by the Spurs in this series, and he is not even the person responsible. Bowen and Duncan have done very well. Both of them almost saved the Spurs..."
"But, no Anyway, Bowen's myth has been shattered. When the top of NBA offense has appeared, we still need to find out who is the top of NBA defense. It would be a pity if Yes didn't have such an opponent..."
"You are too wishful. Maybe one day, Yes will feel that it is boring to stand on the top of the offensive mountain, and run to the top of the defensive mountain, hahahaha..."
"..."
Seattle, the dormitory of the University of Washington, has now been admitted to the University of Washington and become a freshman at the University of Washington. Kawhi Leonard, Avery Bradley and Curry, former seniors of the University of Washington, are preparing to escape from the dormitory of the University of Washington.
"After the game between Master and the Spurs, they chose to stay in Texas and Austin instead of returning to Seattle. This is too uncomfortable. Reading the news about Master and the Supersonics doesn't quench my thirst. I want to see Master in person!"
"There is no other way. The Supersonics played a tiebreaker with the Spurs in the first round, and the second round match between the Supersonics and the Mavericks is two days later. This back and forth will definitely affect their condition. It is better to stay in Austin. Anyway, it is close to Dallas and more convenient."
"That's true, but the whole of Seattle is waiting so eagerly! This is a black eight, a 0-3 reversal, and four consecutive 1-point buzzer-beaters!"
"So many Seattle people can't wait and are going to Austin and Dallas to find Yes?"
As a small fry, listening to the words of the big guys next to him, Leonard silently carried his luggage with a cold face.
Because the impact of this series between the Supersonics and the Spurs in Seattle is too terrifying.
In order to see Yes and the Supersonics earlier, many Seattle residents are dragging their families and luggage to Austin and Dallas.
Because of this demand, even the Seattle airport is somewhat paralyzed.
The airfare from Seattle to Dallas or other places in Texas is really skyrocketing.
Fortunately, the players of the University of Washington and Garfield High School have special treatment. There are many wealthy people in Seattle, and these wealthy people have their own private planes.
For example, Bill Gates, the owner of the Supersonics, Bezos, the owner of Amazon, etc. These wealthy people in Seattle are also going to Austin and Dallas to watch the Supersonics and Mavericks games recently, so they are also willing to take the players of the University of Washington and Garfield High School with them.
Because of Yes, the players or former players of Garfield High School and the University of Washington have a very, very special social status in Seattle.
As the big guys of the University of Washington and Garfield High School, Curry, Green, Avery Bradley and Tony Roten were chatting and laughing in front.
And Leonard and Antetokounmpo brothers were carrying luggage in the back.
Looking at the Antetokounmpo brothers around him, Leonard's expressionless face showed a trace of surprise.
These hands and feet are really long!
Especially the younger brother of the Antetokounmpo brothers, Giannis, who has two bags in his left hand, two bags in his right hand, one hanging around his neck, and two on his back, a total of seven bags, two more than him!
With such a thin body, he actually has such a strong core strength.
No wonder Tony is so arrogant after having these two brothers as his younger brothers. He is really not afraid of being beaten...
Leonard took back the surprised look from the Antetokounmpo brothers, and his face returned to the iconic expression of paralysis.
However, the bag in his hands was subconsciously lifted up a few centimeters.
This is a teenager who looks paralyzed.
But his competitive spirit is not as non-competitive as his facial paralysis shows.
After the series between the Supersonics and the Spurs ended in such a legendary way, most places in the world were crazy about this legendary series, especially Seattle and China.
Seattle and China seemed to have become two huge volcanoes in the world!
On the other side, San Antonio, the most watched city in the world in the past half month, now seems to have become an ice cellar.
At the door of the operating room of Methodist Hospital, Ginobili sat there with his head in his hands, his body trembling constantly, and his fists clenched tightly.
He never thought that there would be a day when he would hate himself so much.
When the master smiled and persuaded him out of the ward, he was so powerless.
The master finally chose to end his career like this.
The master finally did not receive treatment and chose conservative treatment.
The master still used the price of a leg as a punishment for himself.
The master still took all the responsibility for the team's failure, from himself and from other Spurs players.
Outside the operating room, Popovich, Duncan, Parker, Jackson... Every Spurs player is silent now.
Especially Popovich.
"Bruce, I don't blame you, none of us blame you, as long as you can still stand, I and the Spurs will always have a place for you, this is not a good choice."
"I know, this is not a good choice, but it is the right choice..."
Not a good choice, but a right choice...
Popovich sighed and closed his eyes.
This sentence contains too much content, too much sadness...
On May 4, 2009, two days after the legendary series between the Supersonics and the Spurs, newspapers across the United States published a shocking news in addition to the daily coconut blowing.
"Spurs legend Bruce Bowen chooses conservative treatment, will bid farewell to basketball and the NBA, and will be at risk of lameness in the future!"
Looking at the overwhelming news, Ray Allen, Carter, McGrady, Kobe, Iverson, Szczerbiak... many people took a deep look at the content of the newspaper and the wailing face on the newspaper, and finally put the newspaper down.
It's over...
A dark and sinful era ended just like that...
