Chapter 566 The dead end ahead and every team has a chance!(1/2)
After defeating the Los Angeles Lakers in an away game, Yease and the Sonics players boarded the plane to Salt Lake City without stopping.
After beating the Lakers, the SuperSonics will face back-to-back games for the first time this season.
The distance from Los Angeles to Salt Lake City is 1,200 kilometers. It’s almost the same distance from Shanghai to Beijing.
Using airplanes as a means of transportation actually doesn’t take much time.
The key is that the schedule is really too busy.
After the game with the Suns, I immediately rushed to the game with the Lakers. After this fierce hand-to-hand battle with the Lakers, I immediately had to catch up with the Jazz game.
This is really too tiring.
In the NBA, back-to-back games on the road are simply anti-human games.
Every year the NBA players union calls for the cancellation of such anti-human games.
But every year there are some lucky teams that have a schedule like this.
Most of the Seattle SuperSonics players are young and strong guys.
But now on the private plane flying to Salt Lake City, Ye Si looked at each other, sleeping together, and shouting together.
Usually these guys are quite active on the plane.
Not to mention his teammates, even CCTV reporter Wang Han next to him has fallen asleep.
In the entire space, maybe he was the only one with his eyes open.
Looking at the faint colors outside the window, Ye Si felt a little sad.
Throughout the NBA, current Seattle SuperSonics players have always been considered the luckiest players in NBA history.
They are always seen as being able to get what they want without spending much effort in the NBA.
Therefore, the profession of a Seattle SuperSonics player is the easiest profession and position in human history with high salary and low effort.
Are Sonics players really that relaxed?
Of course not.
Ye Si clearly knows the hard work of his teammates, and they are not so relaxed.
But what these people do say is that his teammates do not contribute as much as the main players of other teams in the game.
The SuperSonics coach is Nelson, and he likes large-scale rotations. In SuperSonics games, every game is basically a rotation of 12 people.
He is the core of the SuperSonics on the court. He has always maintained his perfect omnipotent image on the court. He attracted a lot of attention from opponents during the game. His defensive pressure is said to be comparable to that of Jordan. In this
In this case, the teammates around him will indeed be relatively relaxed.
Therefore, his teammates are indeed more relaxed than the main players of other teams.
However, it is not as easy as those people imagine.
In this case, his teammates are now a little overwhelmed in the sprint phase.
What about other strong teams?
Ye Si never thought there were so many iron men in the NBA.
He doesn't think the Rockets, Suns, Nuggets, Spurs, Lakers or Grizzlies players are all iron men.
This year is the strongest in the history of the Western Conference.
This year is also the most competitive thing in the Western Conference.
This year's Western Conference teams have gone completely crazy.
Even if I know that I have already reached the end of my life, I still can't stop.
Even if I can't stop, I don't dare to stop.
In the NBA, there are not many people who are really idiots. They watch others running out of money, but they don't leave, and they secretly keep their strength.
This might have been possible in the past, but now, who would dare?
Even if the Spurs are currently fourth in the Western Conference, do they dare to stay strong and fall to seventh place in the Western Conference?
The Suns and Rockets may run out of gas at some point, but can you hope that they will run out of gas in the first round?
You are swept out of the first round, but in the end the teams that work hard to persevere will be the cheaper ones.
Now all the strong teams in the Western Conference know that we are indeed on the road to exhaustion, but it is because everyone has reached the road of suicide in the end that everyone has a chance!
When everyone really meets in the final position where the oil is exhausted, the competition is no longer about strength, but about will!
Whoever has a strong will will win!
Now, no matter whether it is the Rockets, Suns, Lakers, Spurs, Nuggets or Grizzlies, they do not think that their will is weaker than other teams.
However, before that, except for the Suns and Rockets, all the other strong teams in the Western Conference must ensure that they are the surviving team that can compete with the Rockets or Suns for their will!
In a competition of wills, will all the strong teams in the Western Conference have a chance?
Looking at the faint colors outside the window, Ye Si's eyes also became dark.
After defeating the Lakers back-to-back on the road, the Sonics' next opponent is the Utah Jazz.
The Utah Jazz are the team that has undergone the most changes in the entire NBA since the All-Star Game.
After the team's head coach Jerry Sloan announced his resignation, his assistant coach and his disciple, former Jazz player Tyrone Corbin, who he had coached in 1994, became the team's head coach.
Although the Jazz's head coaching position is not that attractive, it is not that cheap either.
In addition to the biggest reason why Tyrone Corbin can take over because he is Sloan's disciple, the other reason is that the Jazz management knows very well what the Jazz's current focus is.
The focus is on rebuilding, and the focus is on seeing who can be selected with the picks Deron acquired from the Heat.
As long as the Heat's pick is not the first two picks, it belongs to the Jazz.
If the Heat pick the first two picks this year, the Jazz will get the Heat's first-round picks 09, 11, and 13.
For the Jazz, these are two completely different rebuilding ideas.
If you are lucky enough to get the Heat's No. 3 or No. 4 pick, you can select Mayo with the third pick, who is now plummeting in the draft, or Westbrook, who shined in the game with the University of Washington, with the fourth pick.
, then the team's reconstruction will be completed instantly. When the time comes, it will be easy to let Corbin, who has little qualifications, leave the position of head coach and choose a famous coach.
If unfortunately, the Heat do not get the No. 3 or No. 4 pick, the Jazz will enter the road of rebuilding. It is impossible for a famous coach to come to the Jazz to make things worse, and Corbin is a good candidate for the coach.
This is the current situation of the Jazz.
The future of the Jazz has not yet been decided.
Similarly, this is also the current situation of the Jazz players. Their hearts are also very confused and have not yet settled down.
Before the start of this season, absolutely no one would have thought that something like this would happen to the Jazz.
A team that had the potential to compete for the championship collapsed in an instant.
A head coach who had carved the soul of the team with his 20-year career just left.
This is something that seems surprising to the whole world.
Of course, it was quite a surprise for Yes and the Sonics.
Although Sonics coaches and Sonics players like Old Nelson still lament what happened to the Jazz.
But there is no doubt that this is indeed beneficial to the supersonic speed.
In the Jazz before Sloan resigned, no matter how big the problem was, the SuperSonics would most likely kneel down in this game.
Back-to-back away games, will they still play against the brutal Sloan and Jazz?
This is a fatal thing.
It can be said that it was a failure planned in advance.
But in this game now, the SuperSonics are playing quite easily.
The scene of Sloan sadly leaving seems like yesterday to the current Jazz players.
The morale of Jazz players is appallingly low.
The Jazz have now won four games since Jerry Sloan left, all of which were against Eastern Conference teams.
The Eastern Conference teams have been shameless this season.
There is no way, as the NCAA tournament begins, a bunch of potential rookies have emerged this year.
Originally, everyone thought that after the diamond generation ended in 2007, the NBA draft would be dormant for a few years.
I didn't expect the silence to end so quickly.
It turns out there are more than just Rose, Beasley, Mayo and Curry this year.
It turns out that this year there are Afflalo, Westbrook, Kevin Love, and last year they beat Rondo in a one-on-one. This year in the P-10 league, they lead the weak team Arizona State University, UCL and the University of Washington to compete for supremacy.
, freshman James Harden and others who finally led the weak team Arizona State University to the NCAA championship.
It turns out that the 2008 draft picks were not only those before the top four, but the fifth, sixth, and even seventh and eighth picks were so valuable.
This caused the teams in the Eastern Conference to completely lose their moral integrity.
To be continued...
