Chapter 139: All for Yes! (Two/Five)
"Yes, have you noticed that the Bucks players look at us a little bit wrong"
December 12, 2006, at the Bradley Center in Milwaukee, the first stop of the Seattle SuperSonics' road trip in the East.
Ye Si followed David Lee's line of sight and looked at the Bucks players on the other side. The eyes of those Bucks players were indeed very unfriendly.
"I heard that the big deal about you not only made Bucks general manager Larry Harris a laughing stock, but even the Bucks players became the laughing stock of the entire United States."
Without David Lee's explanation, Ye Si also understands that with such a good lineup and such a record, no one from the general manager to the players will escape the criticism of public opinion.
During an avalanche, no snowflake is clean.
The current Bucks are in the early stage of the avalanche.
Sometimes Yeth is really lucky that he can have a group of teammates like Rajon Rondo, PJ Tucker and Paul Millsap.
These teammates of his persevered in the face of accusations from public opinion.
But for most people, such pressure from public opinion is simply too great.
Those who can survive like Rondo and the others are actually rare species, and it is normal for an avalanche like the Bucks.
avalanche
Then avalanche it!
If the Bucks don't avalanche, where will he find the third point of blame
The Bucks' draft pick is important to him and the Sonics.
The Bucks must die in this game!
"This game yes must die!"
Before the start of the game, Bucks coach Stotts did not say too many words of encouragement.
The current Bucks don't need to say too many encouraging words.
They have been scolded by the national media for almost a month!
Even Michael Reid, he has never enjoyed such a month of public opinion treatment since he entered the NBA.
When will a place like Milwaukee get such attention
It's just that such attention is not what they want.
"The top ten NBA players who should be thrown into the trash can!"
Mo Williams looked unhappy when he thought of the list that ESPN selected because of yes.
ESPN actually compared him with Rajon Rondo and Paul Millsap, two rubbish!
In the Bucks this season, his stats are quasi-All-Star stats!
He is going to be an All-Star in the future, and Rajon Rondo, who relies on yes to collect data, is worthy of comparison with him
As for Paul Millsap, what kind of onion is he!
NBA top 10 players who should be thrown in the trash
He is about to be thrown into the trash can, and there are not many in the NBA who are outside the trash can!
"This is a very interesting game. Milwaukee needs to use yes to restore confidence, and the Sonics need the Bucks to collapse"
"This game has nothing to do with the places in the playoffs or the rankings of the two sides, but both sides will still go all out, and the two teams will treat this game as the seventh game of the finals!"
In Game 7 of the Finals, the Supersonics had such a mentality. Even David Lee, who was usually very elegant, put away the elegant smile that had always been on his face after warming up and standing on the court.
This is a game about the future of the Sonics!
Paul Millsap on the bench clenched his fists tightly.
They are rubbish, and yes has always been with them.
What do they give in return for the trust of yes
They can't help yes, so find helpers for yes who can help yes!
With the strength of yes, the Supersonics will definitely not get a lottery pick in the future, and the value of their rubbish transactions is not great.
Therefore, the only bargaining chip that can help yes now is the Bucks' first-round pick!
"We must defeat the Bucks!"
Millsap, Barea, Tucker and others on the bench looked very serious and dignified.
"The game has started, Milicic feels like he is jumping higher today!"
The Bucks' starting lineup for this game is center Bogut, power forward Villanueva, small forward Ruben Patterson, shooting guard Michael Reid, and point guard Mo Williams.
The starting lineup for the Sonics is center Milicic, power forward David Lee, small forward Quentin Richardson, shooting guard Jess, and point guard Rondo.
Milicic beat Bogut to get the first wave of the ball for the Sonics.
This is the first time Jess has seen Milicic jump the ball so high.
"Dako was very focused today!"
Ruben Patterson is the defender of Yees in this game, and the Bucks shooting guard Michael Reid is an offensive player. Although the defense is online, it is not good.
Ruben Patterson is different. He is a self-proclaimed Kobe Terminator man.
Ruben Patterson once beat Kobe when he was a substitute for the Lakers. After calling himself the Terminator of Kobe, he was seen playing once.
Although Ruben Patterson is not as powerful as he himself is, he is indeed a first-class defender at the second and third positions in the league.
"Patterson, Bogut, this is what I rely on!"
Bucks coach Stotts thought secretly in his heart.
If he loses this game, he will be dismissed from get out of class.
He doesn't want to leave get out of class, he wants to beat yes, beat the supersonics!
If it was half a month ago, he didn't have full confidence, but now, with Rick Carlisle's tutorial on ending the Supersonics, his confidence is different!
Stuck Milicic, cut off the connection between Milicic and yes.
Let go of Rondo, and kill the connection between Rondo and Richardson and David Lee.
Use the strong point of single defense to chase and defend yes, and the players defending Rondo will help defend.
These three points are the experience of defeating the Supersonics summed up by Rick Carlisle!
Some teams can do these three points, and some teams can't.
And the Bucks are just the one who can do it!
Bogut's height and strength defense is enough to block Milicic, Ruben Patterson's single defense against yes is also enough to reduce the scoring efficiency of yes, and Mo Williams' speed is also enough for him to help defend yes.
As for Ye Si not giving Mo Williams a chance to help defend, then use Villanueva to drive Yes away!
In this game, the Bucks prepared three defensive players for yes!
Although it is not a flanking attack, it is a more dense three-layer defense than a flanking attack!
"As long as you beat yes, you will win half of the Supersonics!"
As for the other half, it's up to Michael Reid!
To defeat yes, start by defending yes's first attack!
Just as Stotts thought of this, there was a burst of exclamation from the Bradley Center!
"Beautiful escape without confrontation, yes got rid of Ruben Patterson's defense!"
Too strong and too slow!
Ye Si threw Patterson away with explosive power and pulled it up high!
Mo Williams, who was always ready to help defend, hadn't even started to step forward with his legs. With a swipe, the Bucks lost two points!
2 to 0!
The game time has just passed 8 seconds!
That's the running and shooting of yes
The confident Stotts was a little suffocated...
