Chapter 142 The Achievement of Conquering Madison Square Garden (5/5)
The SuperSonics' schedule in this trip to the Eastern Conference is very easy, but each of their opponents is very special.
The opponents in the first game, the Milwaukee Bucks and the SuperSonics, have a draft pick dispute.
The opponent in the second game is the New York Knicks, the former team of David Lee and Rondo.
The opponent in Game 3, the Chicago Bulls, is the new club of Leafs' old acquaintance Ben Wallace.
The opponent in the fourth game is the Cleveland Cavaliers, which is the team of LeBron James, another natural pick in the NBA.
As for the fifth opponent, the Toronto Raptors, that is even more special.
No one needs to emphasize that the league placed the duel between the Raptors and SuperSonics on Christmas Day, so you know the specialness of this game.
From December 12th to December 25th, in 13 days, the Seattle SuperSonics only played five games.
The Sonics' last trip to the East was five games in seven days.
Comparing the two can be said to be completely different.
“Back in New York again”
Returning to New York again, David Lee looked very complicated.
When he left New York to go to the Sonics, he left with trepidation and longing.
The New York Knicks were really in chaos at that time.
For David Lee, the New York Knicks are a big city, and the prosperity of a big city makes many NBA players nostalgic.
But David Lee won't miss it.
He didn't come to the NBA to enjoy himself.
He came to the NBA to pursue his dream!
If it was just for enjoyment, with his background and family background, why would he do such tiring work?
He was nervous when he left New York simply because he wasn't sure if the Sonics were the place to pursue his dreams.
Now, David Lee has determined that the SuperSonics is the place to pursue his dream!
He's grateful that the New York Knicks sent him to the SuperSonics.
Rondo doesn't have the gratitude of David Lee.
It's better to stay in New York and serve as Marbury's substitute than to go to the SuperSonics to take over for Yes!
If he still stays with the New York Knicks, then in this game he will complete his revenge against Yes!
The Sonics without him can't beat the Knicks with him!
Mr. Long Er is so confident!
It's better now, after being on the same team as Yes, the time for revenge is constantly being postponed.
It's all the fault of the New York Knicks and Isiah Thomas!
Two more names have been added to Mr. Long’s little book of revenge!
After Larry Brown left New York, New York general manager Isiah Thomas imitated Popovich and appointed the team's head coach.
With the Smiling Assassin's reputation in the NBA, he has no problem holding the dual positions of general manager and head coach.
Moreover, the New York Knicks have performed quite well in the previous twenty games this season.
The new official has three things to do when he takes office. Isaiah Thomas has a high reputation in the NBA. Marbury may not buy Larry Brown’s face, but he cannot help but buy Isiah Thomas’s face.
At the very least, Isiah Thomas needs to be given some face at the start of the season.
The strength of the New York Knicks is not bad to begin with, and coupled with the fact that the players who come to retire are very cooperative and obedient, the performance of the New York Knicks will certainly improve.
When the spring breeze is triumphant, the horse's hoof is broken. This is the current state of Isiah Thomas.
“I didn’t expect that the two pieces of trash I sent out could now produce such statistics.”
David Lee, who was sent to the SuperSonics by him, is now one of the most valuable players in the SuperSonics, averaging 118 points per game which is eye-watering.
And Rajon Rondo, who was booed by New York fans in the Knicks, is now averaging 7 points, 10.5 assists and 5.5 rebounds per game.
Rondo currently ranks second on the NBA's assist list.
Two garbage players played very good statistics next to Yes.
Do you regret it?
Of course I don’t regret it!
No matter how good the data of Rondo and David Lee are, these data are not their true strength at all!
It's all because they stood by Yes' side that they were able to produce such data.
Even if he regrets it, he regrets using his first-round picks in 2006 and 2007 to trade Eddy Curry with the Bulls.
If the 2006 draft pick is still in New York's hands, judging by David Stern's punishment of the Sonics and Trail Blazers, the No. 1 pick in 2006 is likely to be the Knicks'.
The Knicks can easily get Yes!
It's a pity that the New York Knicks' draft rights last season were in the hands of the Bulls, and the Bulls spoiled the opportunity to get the No. 1 pick.
December 15, 2006, Madison Square Garden, New York.
This is the second time Ye Si has come here. The last time he came here was to participate in the draft.
Becoming the No. 1 pick and returning to Seattle was a wonderful memory.
"Yes, there are many New York fans applauding you!"
Ye Si did hear a lot of shouts and applause for him.
Ye Si’s nickname is too special, Yes!
As long as you hear a large number of Yes voices ringing out in NBA arenas, you can be sure that they are cheering for Yes.
Even if the Sonics players don't understand Chinese, they can guess what the Chinese fans who shout in Chinese mean.
There are many Chinese in New York, and these Chinese fans have decorated Madison Square Garden as Ye's home court.
"The Iron King is back, should we boo him together?"
"Of course boo! Rondo is just holding Yes back when he is around Yes. Who else would he boo if he doesn't boo!"
Madison Square Garden is half of Ye's home court.
But half of the Leafs' home court doesn't mean it's also half of the Sonics' home court.
Returning to Madison Square Garden again, Rondo's face darkened again.
When he was playing preseason games with the New York Knicks, Rondo was always upset about being booed by New York Knicks fans at home.
Now after returning to the Knicks, these guys are still laughing at him!
Haven't you seen that Master Long is now second in the assists list?
Mr. Long Er is no longer the little person who was booed by you casually!
Master Long is now a big shot in the Megatron Alliance!
In this game, Master Long will let you know what a true league superstar is!
"Rajan, your butt is still so perky!"
What a shame!
Rondo threw the basketball in his hand to Yes in front of him, and with a bang, all the New York Knicks fans who were laughing at him stood up excitedly.
"This is Yes's three-pointer from the center circle? It's amazing!"
"Yes, of course he is great, he is one of the strongest rookies in NBA history!"
"It's such a shame that such a strong rookie is not a New York Knicks player!"
"It doesn't matter if you're not a New York Knicks player, as long as you can conquer Madison Square Garden!"
Isiah Thomas was a little embarrassed when the whole audience suddenly shouted "Yes".
He has achieved such good results while leading the New York Knicks, but he has never enjoyed such treatment.
All we can say is that the current Yes is a newcomer that is the trend of the times.
"After the game at Madison Square Garden, there were many people who made the fans here cheer, but before the game, Yes was definitely the first to make the fans in the Holy Land cheer!"
"Conquering Madison Square Garden is one of the signs that NBA superstars reach their peak!"
"Yes's mid-circle shot hit again. This is the third mid-circle three-pointer that Yes made in pre-game warm-up!"
Yes, it feels very good tonight!
YesLooking at me?
