Chapter 841 The wheels of history are rolling in!(1/2)
"I didn't expect that there would be a team that we and the Seattle Supersonics will not be able to enter the playoffs this season."
In the hotel in Dallas, Rockets players such as Yao Ming, Roy, and Gerald Wallace are now looking very serious.
Seeing his teammates like this, Yao Ming didn't know what to say at this time.
The Rockets were the strongest team in the league last season, with a record of 73 wins and 9 losses in the regular season, breaking the Chicago Bulls' regular season record that was considered impossible to be broken.
And what about Seattle Supersonics?
The Seattle Supersonics were the NBA championship last season and can be said to be the real biggest winner of the NBA last season.
It can be said that last season, the Rockets were the biggest regular season winner in the NBA, while the Supersonics were the biggest playoff winner.
There are two such teams. If you say that before the start of this season, someone said that one of these two teams might not be able to enter the playoffs. Those who say this must be considered crazy.
But now, only one of the two teams can enter the playoffs.
Even if the Phoenix Suns, who have lost 60 and 21 losses in the last game against the Timberwolves, will only be surpassed by the Seattle Supersonics from seventh to eighth, and will not be surpassed by the Rockets who have lost 58 and 23th.
In other words, the Phoenix Suns' playoff position has been determined.
The difference is whether this team is seventh or eighth. If the Timberwolves wins, that is to ensure seventh and lose the Timberwolves. If the Supersonics wins the Heat, that is eighth. If the Supersonics lose to the Heat, that is still seventh.
But if the Rockets want to enter the playoffs, they must defeat the Mavericks in the last away game and lose to the Heat.
In this game between the Supersonics and the Heat, judging by the recent comments from the Heat players, the Heat will definitely go all out. The Seattle Supersonics have a chance to win away games.
But if the Rockets want to enter the playoffs, it is not just the Seattle Supersonics that lose, but the Rockets themselves have to defeat the Mavericks!
The Mavericks are now fourth in the West, and the Spurs, which are the No. 1 in the West, are no longer able to catch up, so even if the Mavericks have a better record than the Lakers and the Nuggets, they can only rank fourth. It is impossible to catch up with the No. 1, nor can they be caught up by the fifth Grizzlies. This makes the Mavericks' attitude towards the last regular season worth choosing and scrutinizing.
Judging from the current situation, the Rockets are indeed better.
Because the final victory or defeat of the Mavericks no longer matters, it is really hard to say how much power they can use to fight against the Rockets.
After all, the Mavericks will still play the very powerful Grizzlies in the first round of the playoffs.
The hard fight with the Rockets is of no benefit to the Mavericks.
But.
Even though the Rockets' current situation is better than the Supersonics, the initiative is still not in the hands of the Rockets.
This is the most troublesome place.
The possibility of Seattle Supersonics defeating the all-out Heat is very rare, and perhaps it takes a miracle to happen.
But don’t forget that Xiao Yezi is the best person in basketball history who is good at creating miracles!
As someone who won the Olympic championship with Xiao Yezi in the Chinese team, Yao Ming knew even more about how dangerous this was.
It's not just him who knows it, Roy knows it, and Gerald Wallace and the Rockets players who were defeated by the Supersonics last season's playoffs are also very clear.
"Seattle Supersonics and Yes are in a desperate situation!"
"Yes and Seattle Supersonics will miss the playoffs!"
"Reusing Ibaka in the season has become the most unbearable weight for Supersonics and Yes!"
“Ibaka will become the historical sinner of Seattle!”
"We are about to welcome the only time in Yes' career that he cannot enter the playoffs!"
This is the voice and public opinion outside now.
Many people are looking forward to the failure of Xiaoyezi and Supersonics.
With Xiaoyezi's current position in the NBA, if he and the Supersonics cannot enter the playoffs, that is really big news.
At this time, these people who like to watch the fun will subconsciously ignore Xiao Yezi's previous great achievements.
reason?
If these people are really rational, how could there be so many false news in the world every day?
These people now ignore these things.
As Rockets players and players competing with Xiaoyezi, how could they ignore it!
"We don't have to worry about the victory or defeat of the Seattle Supersonics and the Heat. For us, if we want to enter the playoffs, it's very simple, we need to beat the Mavericks!"
"No matter what the Supersonics and Heat's record are, beating the Mavericks is the only thing we have to do!"
Yao Ming is rare to be so tough on the Rockets.
But his remarks did strengthen the hearts of all Rockets players.
Under such a situation, everyone will be very shaken.
Everyone will think very much.
This is understandable, as long as it is human, it will be like this.
However, the more this time, the more calm and firm you need.
Seeing that Yao Ming's encouragement, the Rockets' players' faces became firm again, Rockets' head coach Adelman was also relieved.
This season is really unfriendly for the Rockets.
After losing the playoffs last year, the team's failure culprit, the assistant general manager, is still missing. Some say he accidentally fell into the sea, while others say he committed suicide by himself.
Anyway, he never showed up again after that.
This season, at the beginning of the season, the Rockets were ambushed by several Eastern teams. After losing several games that shouldn't have lost, they could never turn over again.
Facing Eastern teams, especially those not so strong, you really can't lose!
Everyone is winning, you lose. Now you have to find the games you lost against Eastern teams in the West. How passive it is!
They have worked very hard, and the Rockets are even the team with the best record in the second half of the league, but they are still a little bit short of it and still can't get the initiative back.
Although according to outside public opinion, the Rockets have a 90% chance of entering the playoffs, they are really afraid of the 90% figure. The probability of their defeating the Supersonics in the playoffs last season is also 90%!
But what about the end?
The final championship is Seattle Supersonics!
"James, why do I feel that after you come to Miami, you become very, very excited?"
"Class? Are there any? Do I have one? Mark, don't be tainted and innocent!"
James Harden in the hotel quickly stuffed the swimming trunks he had just taken out into his suitcase.
I, James Harden, are a serious person. How could I be excited because I came to Miami, there were many big-name girls on the beach here!
I, James Harden, is the kind of person who likes the ladies of big PPs?
"James, now is the moment of the war. I advise you to focus. If you are undercover in this game, think about Serge's recent experience."
Gasol seriously reminded his roommate.
After hearing Gasol's reminder, James Harden felt his PP was chilling.
Ibaka's life has not been very good recently.
Since everyone's attention has been on the record of supersonics.
Ibaka became the target of the coconut flour and coconut flour media.
According to the coconut flour and coconut flour media, if the Seattle Supersonics fail to enter the playoffs this season, Ibaka will be responsible for his death!
James Harden feels that there is no problem with these coconut flour and coconut flour media for the poor Supersonics record this season on Ibaka.
In fact, Ibaka really needs to be responsible for the team's current record.
Although the whole team can see Ibaka's progress, Ibaka's progress was exchanged for Yes's team's record, so there is no problem.
Even Ibaka himself admitted this issue.
So he is the Supersonics who work hardest in addition to Yes, and is also very grateful to Yes and the team.
"I heard that Sergey has taken the initiative to find Mr. Nelson and is going to get off the starting position?"
James Harden asked, looking at Gasol Jr.
"Sergi did apply to get off the starting position, but Sergi's starting position is not something that Mr. Nelson can decide."
Gasol little smiled and shook his head, then said, "Yes sternly rejected Sergi's request to leave the starting lineup, and Yes also rejected Kevin's request to come back early."
James Harden was shocked when he heard Gasol Jr.
Yes, rejected Ibaka's request to leave the starting lineup?
According to the current supersonic situation, Yes should not accept Ibaka's request naturally, as this only sacrifices Ibaka's present and future and will not lose his face.
Because now, both the coconut flour media and the coconut black media all want to see Ibaka leave the starter.
Coconut flour media hopes that Ibaka will leave the starting lineup and Durant will make a comeback, so the supersonics may still have a glimmer of hope.
What about Coconut Black Media? Ibaka is still starting. Even if the Heat defeated the Supersonics, the Heat will win a little bit of unfair victory.
Since it is a humiliation of Yes, why can't Yes be humiliated more without saying anything and be more fierce?
So, if Yes takes advantage of the situation to replace Ibaka and then replace Durant, he will definitely receive unanimous approval.
