In the game against the Magic, the Seattle SuperSonics' game rhythm dropped again. This was not because the Seattle SuperSonics wanted to change their style of play, but because Howard was unhappy and temporarily changed the team's style of play.

After stepping down Howard, who is now so arrogant that he is floating in the sky, Seattle's regular season game rhythm will not change at all.

The current personnel structure of the Seattle SuperSonics is very suitable for this kind of fast-paced game.

It’s not just the player’s ability that suits them.

In fact, the players themselves also like this kind of game.

High rhythm means high rounds, and high rounds means high data.

Maybe a player's physical strength is limited, and the number of rounds that can be played in a game will not increase infinitely with the rounds of the game.

In the past, a team played 100 rounds in a game, and the team's star player took 20 shots. Now, a team has 120 or even 130 rounds in a game. The team's star player may not play due to physical reasons.

There are still 20 rounds, or one or two more, but these extra rounds belong to other players on the team.

Why are so many teams in the league advocating offense and fast pace this season and being unable to stop?

The game was well played, the fans liked it, and the team management liked it.

You play more rounds and accumulate more data. Players like it, and all players like it, not just star players.

At the same time, a weak team is still a weak team regardless of whether it plays slow or fast, but if it plays fast, it will fish in troubled waters and gamble even more. Who knows if their three-pointer today will be rainy. In this case, as an NBA number

Most head coaches of less powerful teams are willing to play at this pace.

As for those strong teams, it is because it is so difficult to find excellent heavy-duty centers in the league. On the contrary, forwards and defenders have exploded recently. Under such circumstances, these coaches are willing to try to follow the trend and play small ball.

Let’s not talk about the playoffs. Let’s try it in the regular season first. What if it really succeeds?

Besides, if you don’t try in the regular season, wouldn’t it be too late to wait until you really face a team like the SuperSonics in the playoffs?

Under this circumstance, the entire league has been experiencing a storm of speed and small balls this season.

Many people say that it was brought up by Ye Si.

But Ye Si has always felt that it is more because these teams have seen their needs, and coupled with their own team's lineup, they are suitable for playing small ball.

He is just a trigger, not the most important reason.

If it were still the era of the four major centers.

There will definitely not be many people who play small ball and come in front of the four centers to look for abuse.

It's because there aren't that many top centers in the league now, and the punishment you get after taking risks won't be that big. The punishment you receive is not proportional to the benefits. Of course, everyone will choose to earn more gains at a small cost.

In this year's finals, the Seattle SuperSonics played small ball and won the championship with a gamble-style three-pointer that was one point more than two. It really made people see the temptation of gambling.

In the entire Seattle SuperSonics, apart from losing to Yes, which team dares to say that it doesn't have a lot of other players like Durant?

In terms of player talent, Durant may be beaten by James.

But in this year's finals, Durant even outscored James!

Why?

Isn't it because of the three-pointers and the fast-paced shooting attack without any hesitation?

As long as you can hit three-pointers, as long as you make enough shots, as long as you make enough hits, it doesn't matter if your talent and strength are outclassed by James and Wade, as long as you score more points than James Wade, in the final analysis of basketball

It's a game of who can score more points.

As long as you are accurate in three-pointers, shoot more and hit more, even if you are Novak, you can beat James!

If teams like the Seattle SuperSonics can do it, why can't we?

This is the truest thinking of many teams now.

If a weak team wants to steal the chicken, it can't be any worse anyway, and it might be possible to sneak into the playoffs.

The strong teams also want to steal the chicken. Anyway, if they play normally, they will definitely be beaten by the Heat, Lakers and Grizzlies. They might as well learn from the Sonics and use their small skills to make a big difference.

In this regard, the Leafs and the SuperSonics are the pioneers who are the fuse, and the desperate strength of the Lakers, Heat and Grizzlies is the catalyst.

The Magic proved that it is really feasible for ordinary teams to play such a gamble.

This team that ranked fifth in the Eastern Conference last season was able to occupy the first place in the league with almost no personnel changes.

Can this not make people jealous?

That is to say, under such circumstances, after the start of this season, the NBA's scoring average has repeatedly set new highs.

For a time, every team was throwing three-pointers like crazy. If your attack time exceeds 15 seconds for any team, you are wasting your life.

Such a change in style in the NBA this season even surprised and delighted David Stern in the league's finals, and even gave him a little fear.

Back in the days when the NBA was slow-paced, defense was king, and fierce players emerged in large numbers, he knew that such a dull and extremely dirty game would not bring a future to the NBA, so he encouraged offense and constantly revised the rules.

But the effect is actually very limited. Profit is the first driving force. As long as he can win the championship with defense and dirty play, his reforms will not have much effect. In fact, in the 2005 Finals between the Spurs and the Pistons, he even lost the championship.

I feel like the NBA may be at its end.

It wasn't until the emergence of Jaycee and the SuperSonics that the NBA fundamentally changed. Even the Spurs are now focusing on small ball and offense.

This is very gratifying, but it also makes David Stern instinctively scared.

The offense is good and the basketball is good, but nothing is too much.

In the past, he was defensive to the extreme, and he wanted to cultivate offense.

Now that the offense is going to the extreme, is it necessary to suppress the offense?

If the offense really reaches its extreme and the fans start to get tired of the offense, David Stern can suppress it.

But he himself doesn't know where the ultimate offense in the NBA is.

This gives people a headache.

It is very important to master the balance, but where the balance is, not everyone can see it.

Xiao Hua, who is now just an ordinary NBA manager, is puzzled by David Stern's concerns.

"It's unfounded to worry about others!"

Xiao Hua was very resentful and depressed. He felt like a pregnant woman. The talent in her belly was suffocated and she couldn't use it. The more she suffocated, the more she suffocated. The pain of abdominal distension was even more uncomfortable than killing him.

David Stern was not sure when he was going to take action to limit the offense that was now flooding.

But many teams and many players in the league have actually felt the changes in the league.

For example, Durant's 'powerful' loop in this year's playoffs was banned by the league. In the future, such loops will only result in fouls but no free throws if the number of fouls is not reached.

In addition, it is not just giant loops that are banned. For example, Kevin Martin's method of leaning into a defensive player and then swaying to draw a foul is also banned.

Moreover, the league's new rules allow defensive players' hands to touch non-injurious parts of offensive players above the free throw line.

Many people feel it.

The league, which had been protecting offensive players before, actually started protecting defensive players.

The 2009-2010 NBA season is destined to be a lively and special season.

This season has just begun, and countless magical things have happened.

And this kind of excitement is the same as the season, it's just the beginning.

This season, because offense is king, the fortunes of many players on many teams have changed. Maybe these people are not as arrogant as Howard, but after changing their fortunes, it is certain that they have become "confident" and "high-spirited".

With data and confidence, if your destiny has changed, of course you will think more, such as All-Stars, etc. This is human nature.

As the focus and centerpiece of this lively season.

The Seattle SuperSonics training facility is not that noisy, and actually has a little bit of a paradise feel.

Even Wang Han and the others, who are reporters for the Seattle SuperSonics, found it a bit magical.

This season is really a show off for both humans and gods. Only these Sonics players are as impressive as ever... I don’t know what to say...

Durant still looks aloof.

Milicic doesn't think about losing weight every day, but plays around with his little belly trembling.

As for Rondo...

The clanging sound of iron always makes people look at him with envy and jealousy.

Many Chinese reporters are saying privately that if they can join the SuperSonics, they might have a chance to become a scoring champion.

Logically speaking, Rondo is the one who should show off the most this season, given the data that completely does not match his own strength.

But Wang Han was very surprised that she really didn't see a trace of hair on Rondo's face that was not matched by his strength.

Well, Rondo gives people the feeling that he really feels that his strength is what it should be.

She is not the only one who feels this way, most of her peers also feel this way.

In fact, Rondo does think so.

"Isn't it natural that the second master's strength can produce such data? Piaomaopiao, don't compare the second master with a rubbish upstart like Howard!"

As for Ye Si...

Well, he is still doing his acrobatics at the training ground.
