Chapter 879: This Time, I Am Truly Hopeless!

The failure to defeat the Dallas Mavericks in Seattle in the sixth game, and the Mavericks dragged the game back to Dallas, hurt the Sonics except Yes and old Nelson.

No kidding, it was really hurt!

After the sudden change in the style of the series between the Sonics and the Dallas Mavericks, the Sonics players were the most miserable group of people on the court!

Before the sudden change in the style of the series between the Sonics and the Dallas Mavericks, the most miserable group of people on the court were the Dallas Mavericks players.

It would be strange if they were not miserable to be fouled by Durant's black magic skills.

It really is a matter of time.

They really didn't expect that what happened to Kwame Brown and Afflalo would happen to them so soon.

From the third game to the sixth game, every big man of the Seattle Supersonics had the trouble of foul crisis in one of these three games.

Among them, Milicic, Millsap, and Gasol all had foul troubles in three games, and Millsap and Gasol were sent off respectively.

Even in the sixth game, the two substitute players of the Seattle Supersonics, PJ Tucker and James Harden, were sent off!

In the last game, the sixth game between the Supersonics and the Dallas Mavericks, Yes's scoring finally beat Nowitzki.

But the Supersonics eventually lost the game.

Because of the failure to defend Nowitzki in the fourth and fifth games, in the sixth game, old Nelson, who is most familiar with Nowitzki, finally chose to change the formation when winning.

Putting the big defensive player in front of Nowitzki is really a gift!

In the first two games, the number of fouls committed by Milicic, Millsap, Gasol, Durant and Ibaka was really scary.

So in the sixth game, old Nelson used a different strategy, and the big man still used conventional defense.

But in some special periods, when Milicic, Millsap and Gasol were in trouble, Ibaka or Durant were no longer used to block the eye, but PJ Tucker, the great contributor to the Sonics' black eight Mavericks, and James Harden, the best defender in the Sonics' bench lineup.

The final result was that the two teams played overtime in the last game. James Harden played for 23 minutes, committed 6 fouls, and was sent off.

PJ Tucker played for 15 minutes, still committed 6 fouls, and was sent off!

It was really not surprising that PJ Tucker was sent off by Nowitzki in such a short time.

Tucker's defense has a taste of three-axe, stalking and stalking. This style is very restrained by Nowitzki when it does not have the advantage of strength and technology.

Tucker is really awkward in defense on the court. As long as he moves, he will foul, and as long as he moves, he will violate the cylinder.

After playing the last game, Tucker has doubted his life!

In fact, Harden, another Sonics guard who was used to defend Nowitzki, was more skeptical than Tucker.

Tucker's style could not defend Nowitzki now, and the Sonics had expected this.

But James Harden, even if he could not defend, should not have any trouble with fouls.

James Harden's talent of seeking advantages and avoiding harm is very effective in avoiding fouls.

Ginobili, who is so cunning, did not get any advantage from Harden.

When he received the task of defending Nowitzki, James Harden was very confident.

"Can I defend Nowitzki? I don't know, but at least he can't make me foul!"

The game was not over yet,

James Harden, who was sent off early, stared at Nowitzki who was killing on the court with wide eyes, James Harden was sluggish and desperate.

"My advance prediction, but there was no sense at all..."

"This is a truly perfect offense..."

"In addition to Yes, my talent has detected another player with perfect offense..."

James Harden was mumbling something, and no one around him could hear it clearly, because the voice was too low.

But watching James Harden being beaten like this by Nowitzki, the other Sonics players on the bench really felt sympathy and pity.

James, what a good kid!

He is usually carefree and happy.

He was actually beaten into autism by Nowitzki!

This situation is really scary!

Now the Sonics' big men have completely become shrimps in front of Nowitzki, and the hopes of the two small men, Tucker and Harden, have also become shrimps. So who will coach Nelson try to use to solve Nowitzki's problem next?

He must find one among them!

The Sonics are going to be collectively trained by Nowitzki, and the rhythm of breaking through at once!

In fact, in the previous three games, Nowitzki has already broken Milicic, Millsap, Gasol, Durant, Ibaka, Tucker, Harden...

Except for Rondo and Yes, Nowitzki has actually broken through the Sonics!

Use Rondo and Yes to defend Nowitzki?

Forget Rondo, his six fouls are not enough to fill Nowitzki's teeth.

Only Yes!

The only player that the Supersonics can theoretically use to test how powerful Nowitzki's offense is is Yes!

When Nelson dared not and could not double-team Nowitzki, the only one who could prevent Nowitzki from killing so much in one-on-one defense was Yes!

In fact, Yes was also the last straw that broke the camel's back when the two teams met in the playoffs, when the Sonics defeated the Mavericks in the eighth place!

In that round of the eighth place battle, after Tucker was in a foul crisis and left the court, it was Yes who defended Nowitzki and broke him down!

But that was now.

Can Yes still defend Nowitzki now?

Moreover, Yes had to break the double-team of Afflalo and other Mavericks players on the offensive end, and defend Nowitzki on the defensive end. This pressure was too great.

But Nowitzki's single defense problem was not solved, and Nowitzki always scored 40 points with a true shooting rate of 70%. This was really not a solution. Putting such a Nowitzki outside, even if Yes played very well, he dared not say that he could win, right?

In fact, in these three games, Yes was also very good, but the Sonics lost two of the three games.

This is not because Yes is not good, but the Sonics are indeed not as good as the Mavericks. After Yes and Nowitzki exchanged, the Sonics' victory or defeat depends very much on the performance of other teammates.

In the last game, Durant made 7 of 22 shots, and Yes must be even better!

But Yes scored 40+ in three consecutive games under the double-team of Afflalo and the Mavericks, which is already amazing!

Very desperate!

The atmosphere in the Sonics is really desperate now.

In the training hall of the University of Texas, the reporters from all over the world on the sidelines of the training ground can feel how desperate the atmosphere in the Sonics is now.

"Even in the last round of the playoffs against the Spurs, when the Sonics were trailing 0-3, the Sonics players were not as desperate as they are now."

"Yes, in that series against the Spurs, although they had been losing before, you can feel that the Sonics players were still in high spirits at that time, and not only that, but they were also in an extremely excited state, and they were full of fighting spirit!"

"But now... Ibaka is also a strong-willed person, otherwise he would not have been able to shoot 10 out of 10 against the Spurs under such great pressure, but in the last game, he was so desperate that his eyes were red and he was about to cry!"

"This can't be blamed on these Sonics players. If any of us were to encounter such a situation, we would become emotional. Milicic had 15 fouls in the past three games, Millsap had 16, and Gasol had 16. These three people are the pillars of the Sonics on the defensive end this season. When your defensive pillars can't protect you on the defensive end, even they It may collapse at any time, and it will crush you to death. You will also be afraid. The number of fouls on these three people in the past three games proves that if it were not for Nelson's constant change and the use of Durant, Ibaka or James Harden and Tucker to share the pressure of these three people, they might all be beaten by Nowitzki in the same game! "

"Micic, Millsap and Gasol are also one of the best inside groups in the league this season. Even if they were trained by the Rockets, Grizzlies and Cavaliers, they were definitely not trained so badly by Nowitzki alone!"

"Nowitzki's performance in the past three games is really amazing. If Nowitzki really leads the Mavericks to defeat the Supersonics this season and finally wins the championship miraculously, I am willing to support him as the strongest power forward candidate in NBA history!"

"The strongest forward is controversial, but the strongest offensive power forward, or even one of the strongest offensive players, is still no problem."

The series between the Supersonics and the Mavericks has become like this.

It is really unexpected.

I thought that after Yes eliminated the Spurs in the first round and became a god again, Wade, Kobe or Anthony should be the god in the second round.

Unexpectedly, the god in the second round was Nowitzki!

Watching Nowitzki beat every player of the Supersonics in the three games of the second round, Kobe, Anthony and others were all shocked.

They knew what kind of players these Supersonics players were.

Especially Anthony, who was beaten by Millsap at the beginning, and finally said that Millsap was an underestimated player and he should go to the All-Stars.

It was such an All-Star recognized by him, who was beaten by another All-Star and the brother of an All-Star by Nowitzki and doubted his life.

Don’t say that these Supersonics players doubted their lives. To be honest, seeing Nowitzki so domineering in this series, they, the audience, were also doubting their lives.

"One of the strongest offensive players in NBA history?"

May 16, 2009, the day of the seventh game between the Spurs and the Supersonics.

Looking at the reports on the game and the battle between Nowitzki and Yes, Wade was somewhat disdainful, and James next to him was also not very interested in such comments about Nowitzki.

The rift between Wade and James has not been repaired yet.

There are still many differences between the two that need to be resolved.

But there is one point that the two do not disagree on.

That is the evaluation of Nowitzki.

Wade's evaluation of Nowitzki's soft image is deeply rooted.

Not only in the 2007 black eight, but also in the 2006 finals, Nowitzki is an old softie.

"If we beat the Supersonics and win the championship? Haha."

James is very disdainful of the newspaper's fantasy about the Mavericks' playoffs this season.

Not only is he disdainful of James.

He is also disdainful of the Supersonics.

He attaches great importance to Yes.

But he really doesn't like the Supersonics!

Especially the Supersonics players who were beaten to their true colors by Nowitzki's military training.

Milicic, Millsap, Gasol, Durant, Ibaka, Harden...

These guys were proven by Nowitzki to be a bunch of fakes.

Even if it was a bunch of pigs, taking turns to push up, it would not make a softie deified!

The reason why this softie was deified may be that these guys are not even as good as pigs!

Yes is so strong in leading the team, but this season he can only lead the Supersonics to the playoffs, which is really not unreasonable.

This team is really bad, and these players are really bad. They are great when waving flags and shouting, but when they really want to kill the enemy, they are just a bunch of trash.

Look at Chandler, Chris Bosh, Ben Gordon, and O'Neal in the Heat.

Nowitzki really led the team to the finals. Even if Dwyane and I have a cold, we can still beat Nowitzki and the Mavericks!

Still the championship, the strongest forward in history, one of the strongest offensive players in history, and don't even look in the mirror!

Of course, even if he complains in his heart, James is still happy to see Nowitzki beat the Supersonics.

Nowitzki's beating the Supersonics made him more determined that his choice to leave the Cavaliers and join the Heat was the right one.

In the Cavaliers, he will definitely encounter the troubles that Yes is encountering now. Any soft egg can get him and his rubbish teammates into trouble.

After coming to the Heat, he no longer has to worry about being threatened by a team led by a player like Nowitzki. He only needs to play against the strongest opponent. Even the strongest opponent will be crushed in terms of strength in front of his team!

Why go through a dog hole when you can win by crushing others? !

At the end of the last training session at the University of Texas, Yes took the initiative to walk towards old Nelson on the side...

Looking at Yes's figure, the other players of the Sonics, who were psychologically traumatized by Nowitzki, felt ashamed and uncomfortable, and felt a little relieved.

"A bunch of cowards!"

The second master gnashed his teeth and was very disdainful. When it comes to the critical moment, you can't rely on Yes!

Besides relying on Yes, what else is there? !

A bunch of garbage!

On the other side of the Mavericks training ground.

"Dirk, the Seattle Supersonics have no choice."

"I know."

That is really a familiar scene...

After that scene, you soared into the sky, and I fell into the abyss.

Now, we are in the sky, and we are about to meet again...

Nowitzki's expression was very relaxed, and his smile was also very relaxed.
