Chapter 821: The Metaphysical Number 58 and the Turbulent Card Battle!
In the game between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Oklahoma City Thunder, two epic records were set in one game!
In what was supposed to be a very ordinary game, yes broke Chamberlain and Russell's NBA single-game rebounding records in the game.
And he also got the scariest triple-double in NBA history!
After this triple-double appeared, everyone, whether it was fans, experts or media reporters, called this triple-double the most terrifying triple-double!
In the history of the NBA, currently, no player has scored a triple-double of more than 60 points.
A triple-double with more than 50 points is the top-scoring triple-double.
At the same time, Ye's triple-double also had 58 rebounds!
In the history of the NBA, when the three data of triple-doubles are added together, only Ye Si's is the one who has reached 118!
Rebounds + 10 assists, which is a terrifying 118!
Not to mention that in history, even the sum of the three data of a triple-double reaches 100, except for Ye Si's!
Therefore, there is no problem at all that this triple-double is called the most terrifying triple-double in history.
In addition to this incredible triple-double and rebounding record.
Another magical record is that Rondo, who played 43 times in this game, successfully surpassed Jordan with 1,239, Kobe with 1,747, Joe Falk with 1,355, and others, and became the NBA's historical single-game Iron King!
Perhaps the trend of Kobe Bryant being the best player in NBA history is irreversible.
But as the iron king of Seattle who is as famous as Kobe, Rondo occupies the honor of the iron king in a single game in NBA history, but he can form a north-south confrontation with the future iron king Kobe.
Of course, Rajon Rondo broke the NBA's single-game hitting record during the game, which is just interesting news.
Rondo's shooting percentage that he could not save no matter how much he saved during the game became a laughing matter for many fans after the game.
Now the entire NBA, the entire world, is really discussing Yes's truly magical triple-double magical rebounding record, not Rondo's obviously interesting record.
What's more, yes's record and triple-double this time are also very interesting.
"Now Chris Paul has gone further and further on the road of endorsing 58..."
As soon as the competition ended, as the author of the book Fifty-Eight, the tweet that Fifteen was not the second instantly became the focus of discussion on the entire Internet.
"Now I feel more and more that the number fifty-eight is poisonous. As long as I follow the NBA, I seem to see this number everywhere!"
"I swear, this time, it was definitely not intentional by yes, but this number just appeared unexpectedly!"
"If I were Chris Paul, I would call the police!"
"What's the use of calling the police? It's better to create a new number to wash away the nightmare number fifty-eight!"
"Man, I don't think there's any number in the history of basketball, in the history of the NBA, that can compare to fifty-eight."
"Man, I agree with what you said, but your tone makes me think that you will be slapped in the face, and the person who slaps you in the face may even be Chris Paul.
Ha ha ha ha……"
After the game between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Thunder, the entire NBA became lively.
This brought a bit of a "happy" atmosphere to the sprint atmosphere that has been very tense recently.
However, no matter how happy the atmosphere outside is, no matter how lively the outside world is, this has nothing to do with Ye Si.
The moment the game against the Thunder ended, the superstar system showed that Ye Si's third-ring completion task had been completed.
The third link of the superstar's completion task: Rebounding Superman
Task requirements: In a regular game, grab at least 50 rebounds and no less than 30 offensive rebounds.
Mission description: The completion level of the first two rounds of the host's completion mission has reached Excellent, and what you get is a guaranteed five-star ten consecutive drawing fragments. The third round mission automatically matches the Excellent difficulty mission, and the original mission has no less than 20 offensive rebounds per game. Increased to 30.
Mission status: Completed, completion level: 24 backcourt rebounds and 34 offensive rebounds, excellent.
Mission reward: a guaranteed five-star ten-draw fragment (3/10)
At the same time, after the third ring's mission was completed, Ye Si's fourth ring's mission was also refreshed.
In fact, after the tasks in the first three rings came out, Ye Si could guess what the tasks in the fourth ring would be.
The fourth stage of the Superstar Completion Task: Steal Superman
Task requirements: Get at least 15 steals in a regular game.
Mission description: The completion level of the first three rings of the host's completion mission has reached Excellent, and you will get ten consecutive fragments with a guaranteed five-star rating. The fourth ring mission automatically matches the Excellent difficulty mission, and increases the number of steals in the original mission from no less than 10 to 15. indivual.
Mission reward: a guaranteed five-star ten-draw fragment.
Stealing task...
It should be said that it is indeed a stealing task.
And the number of steals is still very high, 15 times.
Ye Si doesn't quite remember what the current league record for steals in a single game is.
But judging from his experience in basketball games, it is quite difficult to steal more than 10 times in a single game.
The main thing is that when you steal more, your opponents will become very, very cautious.
Everyone is an NBA-level player.
No one wants to be intercepted by their opponent if it is not necessary.
In an NBA game, one-on-one defense to complete a steal is the greatest humiliation to the opponent.
Once in a game you can brag for who knows how long.
Not to mention more than ten times over fifteen times.
Of course, the statistics of steals are not limited to one-on-one face-to-face steals.
There are also steals caused by anticipating the opponent's passing route.
This is relatively simple.
And it's more suitable for Ye Si.
When you are familiar with the passing habits and passing routes of a certain opponent's player, combined with Yes's explosiveness, game anticipation, defensive awareness and stealing ability, this task can still be completed.
The key is to encounter familiar and suitable opponents.
In the NBA, Ye Si is still familiar with many opponents.
but……
After completing the superhuman tasks of scoring, rebounding and assisting, the next step is to steal and block shots.
So what will happen next?
Is the superstar's task to complete all the NBA's strongest statistics?
Ye Si had some guesses.
After defeating the Thunder at home, the Seattle SuperSonics have won four straight games since the All-Star break.
After four consecutive victories, the Seattle SuperSonics' record also fell to negative.
After the All-Star Game, among the four teams competing for the top eight in the Western Conference, the SuperSonics, Timberwolves, and Rockets Suns, only the SuperSonics and Timberwolves have maintained a winning streak.
As of February 26, the Timberwolves had defeated the Wizards, Heat, Pacers, Lakers, Raptors, and Jazz. The Timberwolves, who had the worst schedule, played six games in nine days, but they achieved a complete victory and the All-Star Game. The Timberwolves' record after six consecutive wins has also come to negative, and it can be said that they have firmly occupied the sixth position in the Western Conference.
As the eighth-ranked Suns in the Western Conference, after the All-Star Game, as of February 26, the Suns had lost to the SuperSonics and the Lakers. They played five games and won two games against the Clippers and one against the Celtics. The Celtics' current record is negative
At the same time, the Rockets, who have been held in ninth place in the Western Conference, lost to the Mavericks and Celtics respectively after the All-Star Game, and defeated the Nets, Trail Blazers and Bobcats. Their current record is burden.
Judging from the current records of these four teams, the four teams seem to be slightly separated by two levels.
The Timberwolves and Seattle SuperSonics are on the same level.
Rockets and the sun are on another level.
The current Timberwolves are very, very good in terms of morale and luck, and they do seem to be the first of the four teams to get ashore safely.
The Rockets and Suns seem to be slowly falling into the quagmire, being held back by constant failures.
It's just that this is the feeling during the period after the All-Star Game.
In fact, the gap between the four teams is no longer obvious enough.
On February 27, 2009, after five days of rest, the Seattle SuperSonics visited Dallas to face this season's nemesis team, the Dallas Mavericks.
The Dallas Mavericks have been in very, very good shape recently. After the All-Star break, the Dallas Mavericks defeated the Rockets, Nets, Kings, and Bucks one after another. In the last game, they defeated the Spurs, the direct competitor for No. 1 in the Western Conference. After that, the Dallas Mavericks, who had won five consecutive games after the All-Star Game, now surpassed the Spurs and ranked first in the Western Conference.
In this away game against the Mavericks, Milicic is still unable to play against the Lakers.
Gasol is still replacing Milicic as the team's starter in this game.
Milicic is not the key to the outcome of the game against the Mavericks.
The key to the game between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Mavericks has always been the problem of the Mavericks' four offensive strongmen, Nowitzki, Josh Howard, Monta Alice and Afflalo, taking turns to beat Ibaka in isolation.
None of the four offensive players on the Mavericks has reached the level of isolation ability of Leafs and Kobe.
But everyone can beat the current Ibaka to the level of vomiting.
Yes can only manage one defensive end, and all four of them can hold the ball, run crazy pick-and-rolls, and take turns playing Ibaka.
As long as Ibaka stays on the court, the game between the Sonics and the Mavericks is simply unsolvable.
And because of the existence of Afflalo, a hexagonal warrior, the Mavericks' originally weak perimeter defense can flank Yees, and the Mavericks' advantage over the SuperSonics is very obvious.
Therefore, as long as Ibaka is on the court and as long as Afflalo can lead Josh Howard to successfully double-team Yees, it will be difficult for the Sonics to defeat the Mavericks.
In this game against the Mavericks, Ibaka has worked very hard.
But seeing Ibaka being beaten by Nowitzki, Monta Alice and Josh Howard on the court, many Sonics players couldn't bear it.
It’s so miserable!
Fortunately, Ibaka was beaten for only three quarters in this game, because in the fourth quarter, the game entered garbage time.
Meeting a nemesis in a game is a very, very uncomfortable thing.
It's like the Seattle SuperSonics met the Mavericks.
So is there anything more uncomfortable than meeting Mavericks?
Of course there is.
The day after the game against Dallas.
On February 28, 2009, the Seattle SuperSonics faced back-to-back away games against the team's other nemesis this season, the Memphis Grizzlies.
The Memphis Grizzlies also have a great record after the All-Star break.
Defeated the Jazz, Trail Blazers, Kings, and Pacers one after another, only to lose to the Cavaliers.
But even with this record, the Memphis Grizzlies can still only rank fifth in the Western Conference.
The Grizzlies' actual record is fourth in the Western Conference, behind the Mavericks, Spurs and Lakers, and higher than the Nuggets. However, the Nuggets are first in the Northwest Division, and the first in the division automatically occupies the top three positions in a division.
Therefore, the Grizzlies, who were third in the Southwest Division, could only settle for fifth place.
Of course, the Spurs, who are second in the Southwest Division and have a better record than the Grizzlies, are even ranked fourth in the Western Conference behind the Lakers and Nuggets for this reason.
It is precisely because of this ranking rule.
Whether it's the Spurs, who are currently fourth in the Western Conference, or the Grizzlies, who are fifth in the Western Conference, they all want to take down the Mavericks, who are ranked first in the Western Conference.
It only makes sense to become the No. 1 team in the Southwest District!
Otherwise, whether we are second or third in the Southwest Division, it means nothing.
Although both the Grizzlies and Mavericks are the Sonics' nemesis this season.
But it's different from the Mavericks' natural ability to restrain Ibaka.
The Grizzlies' combination of Oden and Gasol is a natural insider to restrain the Sonics.
If the Sonics with Ibaka want to win, in addition to Ye's performance, they also need the SuperSonics' inside performance. Both are indispensable.
The Grizzlies' two inside players can suppress the SuperSonics' inside performance very well.
At the same time, the Grizzlies' Battier and Carter combination can also double-team Yees very well.
It can be said that the Mavericks' ability to restrain the Sonics is the weakest point in restraining the Sonics.
The Grizzlies restrained the Sonics because they suppressed the Sonics' strongest point.
It's very unpleasant to be constantly hit on your weak points, but you can still use your strong points anyway.
But in this game with the Grizzlies, the Grizzlies kept suppressing their strong points, and it was a real suffocation!
Perhaps in this game between the Sonics and the Grizzlies, the only thing that Sonics fans are really looking forward to is that Gasol will meet his older brother Gasol in the starting lineup for the first time.
However, in the first brother derby, Gasol was played quite miserably by Gasol and Oden.
2 goals in 7 shots, 8 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 5 turnovers and 6 fouls. After coming to the NBA for so long, Gasol has rarely had such a miserable game. No, it should be said that it has never been so miserable.
In the end, the SuperSonics, who were at a disadvantage in all aspects of the game, lost to the Grizzlies in an away game.
While the SuperSonics lost to the Grizzlies in an away game, they suffered two consecutive losses.
On the other side, after the Suns took revenge on the Lakers at home and the Rockets took revenge on the Timberwolves on the road, it seemed that the originally clear battle for eight spots in the Western Conference had become turbulent again!
