Chapter 783 The Strongest Confidence and Magnanimity in History!
"Or Eastern Washington University..."
"I really don't want to come to this place."
"But we have nowhere to go but here."
"..."
On January 4, 2009, when the Denver Nuggets players walked into the training hall of Eastern Washington University under the leadership of Anthony, they really had an uncomfortable feeling like a beeping dog.
The shadow of "Warmly celebrate the Denver Nuggets winning the championship!" is still there.
Since the shadow brought by Eastern Washington University is still there, then the shadow of the big comeback after being beaten 3-0 by the Seattle SuperSonics in the playoffs last season is naturally still there.
Therefore, even this season the Denver Nuggets have surpassed the SuperSonics in the Western Conference rankings and become first in the Northwest Division.
Even though the Denver Nuggets are currently ranked third in the Western Conference, facing the Seattle SuperSonics, currently ranked sixth in the Western Conference, is still quite uncomfortable for the Denver Nuggets players present. (In some previous chapters, it was said that the Sonics are now fifth. This is wrong. The Sonics are now sixth, behind the Lakers, Mavericks, Nuggets, Spurs and Grizzlies.)
According to the current ranking until the playoffs, the Denver Nuggets will still play the SuperSonics!
"It always feels like yes has become a nightmare for our Nuggets."
Jr Smith is really helpless.
Although rejecting invitations from the Heat and James this summer allowed him to avoid a big pit, in the Nuggets, it always feels like there is no way to avoid the pit.
How come the Nuggets, who are such a good team, encountered such a big hole that they couldn't get out of right here?
Not only Jr. Smith is quite helpless, Billups and Hamilton are also quite helpless.
After last year's playoffs, Hamilton was really ready to retire. He retired with regret, resentment and despair. He was leading 3-0 but was beaten 4-3 by yes. It would be a shame. If it weren't for the team Head coach George Karl asked him back: He has lived a lifetime of fame and glory. Would he be willing to retire with such a notoriety? He finally thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case. He had to take revenge no matter what, so he stayed in the end.
Billups is in the same situation as him. Billups is actually worse than him. Billups was beaten and went to the Dream Team to take revenge. In the end, he was given away by Yes in the Dream Team. Fifty-eight.
He and Billups are really miserable.
Why did you end up in the big hole of the Nuggets when you were staying well in the Pistons?
I don't know if it was the little guy from the Nuggets who made him and Billups so miserable.
The Nuggets' performance this season is actually quite good. After the team performed a miracle by yes in last year's playoffs, George Karl really thought that these players in his team had collapsed, and the strongest team he built might be No more such disintegration of morale.
In the end, I really didn’t expect that yes would go all the way to the end!
After defeating them, they defeated the Suns, Rockets and Celtics one after another, and the scores of these teams were quite exciting for the Nuggets. Although the Nuggets were defeated by the SuperSonics in the first round, they were also defeated by the SuperSonics. The SuperSonics and Yes performed a miracle, but the Nuggets were the best performers on the way to the SuperSonics championship in last year's playoffs. At least they were 3-4 against the Sonics, and the Celtics and the SuperSonics in the finals were 0-4. , even the Rockets and SuperSonics are 2 to 4!
yes led the Seattle SuperSonics to win the championship,
Miraculously, they were finally cleared.
Many media outlets across the United States and around the world had been ready to ridicule them all summer.
As long as the SuperSonics brought by Yes fails in front of the Suns or Rockets, even if it fails in front of the Celtics in the Finals, the Nuggets will be miserable last summer. Yes did not win the championship. The achievement is the comeback of the Nuggets from a 0-3 deficit. If these media don't hype this thing, then why are they hyping it?
Unfortunately, in the end, the Sonics and yes won the championship, and he and his Nuggets escaped.
Should I thank yes and the Sonics?
Thank you sister!
According to yes's way of winning the championship last year, if there were no yes and no SuperSonics, they would be the championship!
That was the Nuggets' best opportunity last year!
It's a pity that I didn't win the championship in the end, and was defeated by yes alone, which caused such a humiliation.
In this regular season match against the SuperSonics, the Nuggets have one goal, and that is revenge, revenge, revenge!
The Nuggets came to the sad place of Seattle with a revenge mentality.
Assuming that according to the current ranking, the two teams can meet in the playoffs, but that is a matter of the playoffs. Now it is the regular season. We must first regain some face from the Seattle SuperSonics and yes!
George Karl is still very worried about the Sonics with Durant. In last year's playoff game against the Sonics, it was because of another single-point variable besides Durant's yes that the Nuggets were finally reversed.
Now that Durant is gone, the Nuggets have no reason to suffer anymore from the SuperSonics and Yes!
Before Durant's rise, the Nuggets' record against the SuperSonics was 3-0!
The big score of 1-0 can be said to be a false advantage.
The score of 2-0 can also be said to be a small advantage.
But the big score of 3-0 is definitely a huge advantage!
The Nuggets have a huge advantage against the Sonics without Durant, just go up. What's more, the Sonics not only don't have Durant, but also replaced Ibaka with Durant, the advantage is Bigger!
In the entire league, among small forwards who can educate Ibaka, is there anyone more suitable than Anthony?
In this game, Anthony will let Yes and Ibaka know what cruelty is!
Yes100 points threat?
Even if the Heat can be threatened by points, the Nuggets with Anthony will not be threatened by points!
On January 4, 2009, at 9:30 pm, the Seattle Key Arena was already packed.
This game between the Denver Nuggets and Seattle SuperSonics does not involve the battle for first place in the Northwest Division.
The Denver Nuggets' current record is 25 wins and 8 losses, and the Seattle SuperSonics' current record is negative. In other words, if the Seattle SuperSonics defeat the Nuggets in this game, it is impossible to challenge the Nuggets' first record in the Northwest Division. challenge.
The current record gap between the two teams is quite large.
Still, the game received a lot of attention.
The two teams were the protagonists of last year's legendary 3-0 reversal.
What's more, although it is already 2009, public opinion around the world is still hyping the 100-point game between Yes and the Heat.
As for the Nuggets, this team really made a lot of noise in public opinion before the start of this game.
This is also normal. The Nuggets were defeated by the SuperSonics and Yes in the playoffs last year and performed a miracle. Now if you are scared, it is still the Nuggets. Is it still Anthony?
Of course you can’t be cowardly!
So many people want to see the tough fight between Anthony and Yes.
These two players both scored 70+ points in a game in last year's playoffs and broke Jordan's playoff scoring record of 63 points!
"In this world, if anyone can tie and score, besides Kobe, I believe Anthony also has this ability, especially when facing the defensive player Ibaka."
These are the original words of Pippen, the leader of TNT.
Many people are looking forward to another match between Anthony and Yes in this game.
"Yes, I will not cooperate with you in this game, I will defeat Ibaka!"
"..."
Anthony looked like he was the big devil, but looking at his strange beard shape and the Maitreya Buddha-like baby fat on his face, this big devil who thought he was the big devil now seemed to Ye Si to have no trace of it. deterrence.
Not to mention that it has no deterrent effect on Ye Si, and it also has no deterrent effect on Ibaka beside Ye Si.
Ibaka knew that the person who deliberately scared him was indeed capable of defeating him, but why wasn't he frightened when this person said this?
Ye Si can feel that the Nuggets are very excited today, and Anthony is not the only one who is excited.
The whole team is excited about this team.
After all, before the game started, the players of this team had agreed in front of the media that they would fry, steam, and beat him in various ways.
Very confident.
The Nuggets have always been a team that feels pretty good about themselves.
And Anthony is also a person who feels quite good about himself.
Obviously, the 3-0 lead in last year's playoffs is the source of their confidence.
Looking at Anthony and Billups and Hamilton who were glaring at him next to him, Yes sighed.
3 to 0...
If we didn’t want Durant to play more playoff games, if we didn’t want Durant to be beaten by Anthony a few more games, if we didn’t want Durant to mature faster, the SuperSonics and Nuggets would have lost the postseason last year. Although the game still started 3-0, it was definitely not the 3-0 that Anthony and the Nuggets wanted.
"Yes, do you dare to compete with me in this game, one-on-one to score points!"
Ye Si came back from his imagination without any surprises. As a scorer, whether it is Arenas, Anthony or Iverson, watching his high-scoring battle with Kobe will always make him feel itchy. of.
According to many people, that game is already the highest romance among NBA and basketball scorers.
Since it is the highest form of romance, of course many people pursue it.
So after Anthony made this request, Ye Si never thought that Anthony was bullying him because Ibaka was next to him. In fact, no one in the SuperSonics could stand Anthony, even if he was standing next to Durant. Anthony will also make this request.
Anthony is actually a very simple person.
It's just that this is what Ye Si thinks. I don't know if other people think so.
"Yes actually accepted this unfair challenge from Anthony?!"
"The only person the Seattle SuperSonics can defend Anthony on the perimeter is Ibaka, who has the same height. Anthony is not directly saying yes, I will play Ibaka, you play Hamilton or Billups, let's compare who can score. Is it high? Isn’t this too bullying of an honest person like Yes?!"
After Ye Si accepted Anthony's scoring challenge, the fans, reporters and commentators from various TV stations were all excited.
Although the challenge between Kobe and yes is unfair, on the surface yes can still defend Kobe.
Anthony is simply a bully. Yes can't defend Anthony at all. Could he go to Rondo? Of course only Ibaka!
Although Kobe scored most of his points in front of Ibaka, Kobe didn't directly say that he wanted to beat Ibaka. Kobe still wanted to save face.
Anthony’s request simply doesn’t even cost him any face!
"Anthony brushes Ibaka on his own, but he wants to brush Hamilton or Billups. Isn't this too shameless?"
"Ibaka's current defense is only slightly better than the air. Could it be that Hamilton and Billups' defense in Anthony's mind can only be as good as the air?"
Kobe was also quite surprised to hear the displeasure, sympathy, atmosphere, ridicule or disdain from his teammates around him.
He also didn't expect yes to accept Anthony's proposal.
He has a good feeling for both Anthony and Ye Si.
He also knows Anthony very well. Anthony is a simple and straightforward person, without so many tricks.
The teammates around him were clearly having trouble solving Anthony.
Anthony simply wants to score points with yes in this must-win game for the Nuggets. Anyway, whether they win or lose, it will not affect the Nuggets' win.
Kobe was mainly surprised that yes would accept it.
"It seems that yes's respect for scorers and desire to score are stronger than I thought."
As long as it's a scoring challenge, yes I'll accept it!
No matter what your disadvantages are, you will not be afraid!
This is not only respect and desire for scoring, but also confidence in one's scoring ability!
"This is the magnanimity and feeling that the best scorer should have!"
To be honest, for those who refuse to accept the challenge by saying a lot of things they think are humorous, the strongest person with a style like yes is obviously more in line with his feelings.
No more beeps, if you want to do it, then do it. If you want to beat me, you are the strongest, otherwise, I am!
This kind of confidence, this kind of domineering, I have to say, it is indeed suitable to be the strongest scorer in NBA history. Kobe feels that he is really convinced!
When Anthony challenged Yes to score, except for a few people like Kobe in front of the TV, most people thought Anthony was a little shameless and Yes a little stupid.
But when the three quarters of the game between the Sonics and the Nuggets ended, when the Sonics led the Nuggets by 25 points in the third quarter at home, Nuggets head coach George Karl on the sidelines was stunned. Anthony and Billups were on the court. , Hamilton was stunned.
Even the on-site commentators who originally thought Ye Si was a bit silly are now dumbfounded.
I haven't committed six fouls yet and left the field, so why did the game enter garbage time?
Ibaka's eyes were widened as he watched Ye Si score 70 points in three quarters, as if he had done something trivial.
"Yes, he suddenly fell ill again!"
"In terms of scoring, yes is really confident and powerful to the point where he can do anything one-on-one!"
Kenny Smith and Buckley were speechless with their eyes wide open.
Until this time, those who originally thought Ye Si was ill were the same as Kobe and the others. Looking at Ye Si quietly walking off the court on TV, his face changed from one kind of surprise to another.
Such confidence, such magnanimity!
This is the strongest self-confidence and magnanimity in the body that is not afraid of anything!
Even at this time, yes is still like an iceberg, and it is also an iceberg that shines with scorching heat as if it is dazzling by the sun!
"Is this the strongest strength in history..."
Anthony looked at the back blankly.
He plays Ibaka, and yes plays the powerful Chauncey and Hamilton.
In the end, he failed miserably!
Is there such a big gap between me and the greatest scorer in history?
