Before the second game between the SuperSonics and the Suns started, the whole world knew the importance of this game to the Suns.

Regardless of whether the first game was an unexpected loss, if the Suns want to win the championship this year, they must bottom out in this game.

On the other side, after losing to the Lakers in Game 1, the Houston Rockets came back in Game 2.

Although it was difficult for the Rockets to win the second game, they still won after all.

The biggest advantage between the Suns and Rockets is that the Suns' opponent is the SuperSonics.

If the Suns cannot end the SuperSonics in the shortest time, there will be no advantage in the showdown between the Suns and the Rockets!

In what game will the Rockets and Lakers play?

Six games or seven games?

No one knows this.

But the game between the Rockets and the Lakers will be played one day first.

If the Suns want to gain more rest time and advantages, they must end the SuperSonics within five games.

After losing the first game, a 4-0 sweep was impossible. For the Suns, the best result was to win four games in a row and eliminate the SuperSonics within five games.

In this case, it doesn't matter whether the Rockets defeat the Lakers in six games or seven games.

In this game between the Suns and the SuperSonics, whether it is from the situation at the beginning of the game or from the pre-game interviews, the Suns are really united and working hard to win!

But what was the result of the final game?

116 to 128!

The Suns lost this game even more miserably than the previous game!

It's okay if the Suns lose in this game, what's even worse is not losing.

For the Suns, what makes this game even more desperate is that the Seattle SuperSonics really have a stable singles point besides yes!

In this game, Durant took 33 shots and hit 17 of them. He once again scored 40 points in the game. After scoring 46 points in the previous game, he scored 45 points in this game!

In two consecutive games, he scored 40 with a shooting percentage of around 50!

It can be said that after the Suns put their best defensive players Marion and Laga Bell on Yes, Grant Hill, the Suns' best perimeter defender, was almost like air in front of Durant.

In this game, everyone saw how embarrassed Grant Hill was in front of Durant.

In the last round, Durant was tortured to death by Anthony. In these two games, Grant Hill was tortured to death.

Although his defense is not that good, but his offense is very distinctive, a young All-Star player has risen to prominence under Grant Hill.

In these two home games of the Suns, before the start of this series, most of the world believed that the big score would definitely be 2-0, but it was not the SuperSonics 2-0 Suns, it should be the Suns 2-0 SuperSonics.

.

But what about now?

When the second game between the SuperSonics and the Suns ended, the SuperSonics' score of 2-0 against the Suns really shocked the whole world!

Fans, media, and the teams that are still in the playoffs, the teams that have been eliminated, or the teams that have not entered the playoffs in the league are all feeling like they are dazzled now.

Or maybe I'm dreaming.

The moment the second game between the Sonics and the Suns ended, everyone knew that the impact of this result was too great.

Not to mention other impacts, let’s talk about the Western Conference semifinals between the Rockets and Lakers on the other side. When the Suns trail the SuperSonics 0-2 at home, this will greatly stimulate the fighting power of these two teams.

"As long as we beat the Rockets, we will be champions!"

"As long as we beat the Lakers, we will be champions!"

Looking at the stunned Suns fans on TV, Kobe and Tracy McGrady, as good friends, shouted this sentence excitedly in unison, almost from different spaces!

The Suns are now 0-2 behind.

It's not 0-2 away, it's 0-2 at home!

Coupled with the failure of the Suns' effective tactics of sending Yes out of the game, the Suns' situation is really in crisis now.

If the Suns' loss in the last game made Kobe and McGrady just think that the Suns might be eliminated by the SuperSonics.

So the Suns' continued loss in this game makes them feel that it is not possible, but very likely that the Suns will be eliminated by the SuperSonics!

Of course, this is the impact of this game on the Lakers and Rockets players.

The impact of this game on another group was even greater.

That is, for the NBA rookie players participating in this year's draft, after they witness the rise of Durant in this game, which is the favorite position of rookies, the 'yes teammate' will become even more valuable!

In the past, yes teammates would only make them think that they could win the scoring title, assist title or other honors.

As for the upper limit of strength and potential, they really didn't think much about it.

A true all-star?

Don't be kidding, if you don't have that potential, how can you be a true All-Star if you are beaten by your All-Star opponents every time?

They don't need to be real All-Stars, they just need to be All-Stars based on statistics and All-Stars in the All-Star Game.

But now Durant...

After this guy became a statistical All-Star and an All-Star in the All-Star Game, he actually became a real All-Star in one fell swoop?!

Seeing the Sonics No. 35 standing next to Yes on the court like a gangster, Harden in the stands subconsciously touched his butt.

By being around yes, you can not only get data, honor, and money, but you can also get a breakthrough in the upper limit of your strength!

A player recognized around the world as having only quasi-All-Star potential was promoted to All-Star level by Yes in front of the whole world!

This is really scary!

You know, James Harden is considered to have the most potential and is a weakened version of Ginobili, so he has always been on the edge of the lottery and has no way to go further in the draft.

potential!

His potential is not enough in the eyes of many draft experts.

At the very least, his potential is not enough in front of players like Beasley, Mayo and Rose who are destined to become at least All-Stars.

His potential has a ceiling, so his draft pick also has a ceiling, which may be very sad to say. He performed very well in the NCAA this year, leading a weak team to the national championship, and his own statistics are also quite good.

He is excellent, but because of his lack of potential, his draft prediction is not even as good as Joe Alexander!

Is Joe Alexander’s current strength considered useless?

He can hit ten with one!

Of course this is an exaggeration.

But for the draft, this is the reality. Those draft experts feel that Joe Alexander cannot become a better player. Even if Harden is the best player now, he cannot compare with him.

potential!

This is something that any young player wants to forget, but there is no way to forget it.

Every ambitious young player hopes that he can continuously improve his strength through his continuous efforts. As long as hard work can lead to improvement in strength.

But the reality is that every player's potential has an upper limit.

When your strength reaches a certain level, it will be very, very difficult to move forward.

Unless you can find your specialty.

Obviously, the 99.9 distinctive players in NBA history will not become distinctive All-Star players, but will only become distinctive role players.

It is simply unheard of for a young player like Durant to break through his limits in just one season!

And this is the greatest magic of yes!

And this is why Mo Williams, the Bucks' opponent in last year's free market, was willing to be a teammate in the SuperSonics even if his salary was reduced by tens of millions.

"I want to go to the SuperSonics!"

"I also want to be a real All-Star!"

A voice that sounded like an angel or a devil kept roaring in Harden's heart!

James Harden has been preparing his resume recently. Although he got a commitment from SuperSonics general manager Presti, no matter how much Princeton appreciates him, it is still a commitment at the end of the first round.

For him, this promise can only be a guarantee. With the SuperSonics' guarantee, he needs to hit the lottery, and even the higher the better.

But now, he knows exactly what he needs.

Mo Williams is willing to give up tens of millions of annual salary to become a teammate of Yes, and James Harden can't even pass the ball to Mo Williams?!

At this time, looking at Durant standing next to Yes like a gangster on TV, I was thinking to myself that James Harden is definitely not the only young player who roars like this.

This is how to become a true all-star!

This should be something that only one player in a million can have.

Now Durant's success allows every player in the world to see the opportunity to become a true All-Star.

"Yes has opened up a road to heaven for young players all over the world!"

This year's NCAA champion, UC guard player Jordan Farmar looked at the aloof-looking SuperSonics No. 35 player on the TV with envy. Jordan Farmar could feel that his teammates around him had always been in this game.
