Chapter 870 Everything is back and the biggest illusion in the NBA!(1/2)
Although public opinion across the country feels that the Mavericks have a great advantage.
The Mavericks themselves also feel that they have a great advantage.
But Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle and the Mavericks players are still very cautious about the first game against the SuperSonics.
The impact of this series between the SuperSonics and the Spurs is still there.
Just like no one wanted to be second with the Mavericks before, who the hell dares to be second with the Spurs now?
Moreover, the compliments Rick Carlisle and the Mavericks players gave Yes to the Sonics before the game really meant what they thought, not just words.
They are really looking forward to tonight's game with the SuperSonics, which may be a battle comparable to the Lakers and Nuggets.
The whole world can watch light supersonics, and the whole world has reasons to watch light supersonics.
But the Mavericks, they were the team that was beaten by the SuperSonics two years ago!
Two years ago, they were ranked No. 1 in the Western Conference. How could they be capsized now because of mental issues?
Before the game between the Mavericks and the SuperSonics at home, the Mavericks were really preparing for a big battle with the SuperSonics.
But when the first conference semifinal game between the SuperSonics and the Mavericks was over, looking at the scores on the courtside scoreboard, Rick Carlisle and the Mavericks players, who felt that this game would be a big battle, had some expressions on their faces.
Awkward.
In the first game of the series against the SuperSonics, they won quite easily...
The score of the game also shows this.
115 to 94, the Dallas Mavericks easily won at home by 21 points.
And in this game, the Mavericks really led from the beginning to the end.
They thought it was a big battle, but in the end they easily won by 21 points!
I thought this would be a fierce battle from start to finish, but I didn't expect that the SuperSonics' leading player, Yes, whom they feared the most, didn't even play a minute in the fourth quarter.
In fact, when the game entered the fourth quarter, the main players from Yes and the SuperSonics who had been competing for seven exciting games did not stop playing.
After the third quarter, the Sonics couldn't save the game.
The reason for this is very simple.
That is Durant, who came back again after a year's absence in this game, and once again played a familiar and unfamiliar iron in this game.
"7 of 33 shots, 2 of 11 three-pointers, 21 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and 7 turnovers..."
"This is the Durant we are both familiar with and unfamiliar with..."
After the game, looking at the technical statistics of Durant's first game back in his hands, Barkley was really dumbfounded.
There is a lot of news about Durant's poor condition, and of course he knows about it.
He also knew that Durant's performance in this game would not be very good, but really, he did not expect it to be so bad!
What he also didn't expect was that Yes' love for Durant could be so deep.
In the first game back, he passed the ball to Durant like crazy and fed Durant cakes.
It can be seen that Yes enjoys this familiar feeling of partnering with Durant.
In response to Yes' familiarity with him, Durant was also very wise. The person who responded to Yes was Yes, the 'Seattle Iron God' who is very familiar to SuperSonics fans. Durant was real in this game.
iron!
Even if Yes scored 32 points in the first three quarters, they couldn't come back!
"It seems that our expectations were correct. After Durant was seriously injured, his offense returned to its original point."
"Although Durant's defense has not declined but has improved after the serious injury, what Yes and the SuperSonics need more is Durant's offense, but he seems to be completely gone now."
He made 7 of 33 shots in the game and 2 of 10 in the fourth quarter. Durant's first game back reminded the whole world of the iron god who made coconut fans tremble. He took at least 30 shots in every game.
The Seattle Iron God who hit twenty irons.
Regarding Durant's status, media reporters across the United States are hoping for a miracle to happen.
But in the end this game told the world that miracles do not happen so easily.
"7 out of 33..."
To be honest, not to mention other people, even Ye Si, who was sitting off the court in the fourth quarter and watching, looked a little surprised when he saw Durant's blacksmithing performance on the court.
The Mavericks actually can't find a defensive point that can match Durant.
With Afflalo by his side, Montalyce can't guard Durant, and Josh Howard can't guard him either. Of course Nowitzki still can't guard him, which means Kwame Brown can help defend Durant in the paint.
It can be said that Durant's shooting percentage in this game was so poor not because of the Mavericks' good defense, but entirely because of his own reasons.
After returning, Durant is changing his game rhythm and some details of his movements in order to adapt to the changes in his body.
For example, before the injury, Durant was on the thin side, and his shots were shot with a very elegant backwards motion, just like Kobe McGrady, without looking at his face, he had such a cool and unrestrained energy.
But now after the injury, Durant's weight has increased. Because of his broken leg, although he can still jump as high as before when taking off the shot, Durant still subconsciously suppresses most of his bounce, so he takes the shot.
The take-off height of the jump dropped significantly, and the body no longer leaned back but leaned forward!
It is precisely because of such changes on the offensive end that Durant needs a lot of adaptation, and it is also a high-intensity adaptation.
Even James, who is next door, is much better than Durant in terms of status and strength. When adapting to the new rhythm and new technology, isn't it true that he is undercover in almost every game?
Of course, Durant cannot be compared with James.
Their status in the team is completely different.
But there was one thing the two of them had figured out.
Ye Si finally figured it out.
James needs a lot of high-quality games to build a new and strong self.
And Durant also needs a lot of excellent opponents and games to hone a strong self.
After thinking of this, although Ye Si's face was still calm and expressionless, he still felt a lot more relaxed inside.
As long as he plays enough games, Durant will naturally get his offensive strength back. As for when?
Ye Si didn't know, but it was definitely possible.
Durant's offensive performance was terrible in the first game back, but because of these objective reasons, coupled with Durant's defensive role against the Mavericks, both Yease and Nelson were willing to give Durant
More patience.
But those media who expected the Sonics to leapfrog the Mavericks didn't think so.
In the post-game press conference of this game, Yeos answered almost all of Durant's questions.
"This is the first official game KD has played this year. He needs time to find his rhythm again. Mr. Nelson and I, all of us are very satisfied with his performance. The state of the game requires a lot of high-intensity training.
After returning from the game, his physical condition recovered very well. He played 44 minutes in this game and maintained a high level of intensity every minute. He scored five blocks and two steals in this game, which was a wonderful performance.
."
Yess is a person who doesn't talk much. At the post-game press conference, those reporters who were crazy about Durant really didn't expect that Yess would say so many words for Durant.
The reporters present thought that the person sitting on it was not Yes but Nelson.
Before the game between the SuperSonics and the Mavericks started, these coconut fans still had expectations for Durant. After all, one of the biggest contributors to the SuperSonics' championship last year, without Durant, the SuperSonics would not be able to break through the Western Conference.
, naturally you can’t beat the Eastern cuisine and you can’t win the championship.
So no matter how bad Durant's condition is in training, they still have expectations.
But after the game, after 7 of 33, all their expectations were shattered.
Even after receiving information from Yee and Nelson's firm support for Durant at the post-game press conference, these reporters were really desperate, and even directly said in the media, "It's better to start with Ibaka."
!" rhythm.
It's as if all the credit for Durant, who broke his leg for Jaycee last year for the Sonics, has vanished.
It's just obvious that these forgetful media and reporters have forgotten Durant's contribution to the Sonics, but Sonics fans have not.
Durant played very, very poorly in his first game back.
These reporters thought they could bring up Durant's pace, but they soon failed.
Whether online, in Seattle, or on the streets of Dallas, Seattle fans almost unanimously expressed their joy and blessings for Durant's comeback.
No one cares if Durant's first game back is bad.
Even after the first game between the SuperSonics and the Mavericks, the No. 1 SuperSonics fan and leader of the Coconuts and SuperSonics fan groups, No. 15 No. 2, did not summarize the game on his Twitter, but directly
He threw out a photo of Durant breaking his leg in the game against the Rockets in last year's playoffs.
The title of this photo is: He is back, and he will all come back eventually!
It’s not that Fifteen is the second. This Twitter has exceeded one million comments in just one day. Most of the comments are blessings, hope and trust. The rhythm of Durant that the media wants to bring up,
It seems particularly pale and weak under the support of Twitter and all Sonics fans who are not fifteen but second.
There is no way to lead Durant's rhythm, which makes these coconut media quite uncomfortable.
They also support Yes, but now, they are on the opposite side of Coconut Flour, just because of Durant!
