The regular season matchup between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Spurs has attracted a lot of attention.

The Seattle SuperSonics are now first in the Western Conference, and the Spurs are third from last in the Western Conference. In terms of rankings, the two teams are not at the same level.

But when these two teams, the Spurs and SuperSonics, face off, how can they be defined by ranking?

It can be said that the SuperSonics and Spurs are definitely the most topical opponents in the Western Conference in the past five years.

The Sonics and Spurs have been at odds since the Sonics were still in the Ray Allen era.

Mainly because Ray Allen's SuperSonics were badly beaten by Bowen's Spurs.

After that, when Ye Si's supersonic speed came, the Spurs were a little miserable.

After Yees came to the SuperSonics, the Spurs and SuperSonics have played more than 20 games in the regular season and playoffs in the past few years. It can be said that the two teams have played against each other more times than any of the three men in the NBA in the last few years.

A group of matches.

In the past three years, the Spurs have claimed to be the strongest Spurs in the history of the Spurs, but every time they encounter the SuperSonics, whether it is due to luck or other reasons, they basically do not take advantage.

With an absolute advantage in strength, the Spurs have defeated the SuperSonics twice in the regular season in these three seasons.

In the playoffs, the Spurs and SuperSonics met twice in the past three years, and both ended in failure.

Last season, the Spurs suffered what is known as the worst defeat in basketball history.

This failure directly caused Bowen, known as one of the best defensive players in NBA history, to quit the NBA with immense regret.

According to the renderings of the national media before the start of the game between the SuperSonics and the Spurs.

The Sonics are the Spurs' fatal enemy.

What are the slogans of these media experts and reporters?

Although the thorns fall three times, the sound of death will definitely thorn!

Even if the Spurs try their best to make it to the playoffs this year, even if the Spurs are going to fail this year, even if the Spurs lose all their games this year, they will go all out when facing the SuperSonics. The Spurs and Popovich

Definitely going to slap Yes and SuperSonics in the face!

It is no longer possible for the Spurs to take revenge on the SuperSonics in terms of results this season.

With the Spurs' current strength, no one expects them to beat the SuperSonics.

But to slap the Sonics in the face, yes, to slap the Sonics in the face does not require defeating the Sonics.

As long as Rondo is not the scoring leader in this game, then Yes can slap the Sonics in the face.

It is indeed difficult for Popovich to lead the Spurs without Bowen and without a soul to defeat the SuperSonics, but it is not for Popovich to find a way to defend Rondo.

Is it forcing someone to do something difficult?

If you can't do this, then don't talk about the head coach with the best strength in the NBA.

Moreover, Rondo's strength is so rubbish. If you, the most powerful head coach in the NBA, can't handle Rondo, you are too embarrassed to be the number one head coach in terms of hard power, right?

The game between the SuperSonics and the Spurs is meaningless in terms of ranking.

But the attention this game received was really amazing.

The game between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Spurs is on November 17th. On this day, there are still many strong teams competing.

There was even a focus battle between the once powerful Rockets and the Suns. The Lakers, Heat, Cavaliers, Warriors, Bulls, Thunder, Clippers, and other popular teams also appeared.

But the combined attention of these games may not be as high as the SuperSonics and Spurs.

Even after the previous games, Kobe Nash, James Wade, O'Neal Deron, Beasley Curry, Paul Griffin, Yang Shaowei, all of them ended the game interviews immediately, returned to the locker room, and opened

Got the TV.

If you want to slap Yes in the face from the perspective of scoring more than Rondo, superstars such as Kobe, Iverson, Anthony, Nick Young, etc. can do it.

But from a tactical point of view, there are not many head coaches in the entire league who can do this by lowering Rondo's score and thereby slapping Yes in the face.

Regarding Rondo, many head coaches are very hesitant and don't know what kind of defensive strategy to adopt.

Just like when a primary school student goes to the NBA, you know that this primary school student is very weak, but he can always make shots. What defensive strategy do you think you should use?

Therefore, many people are curious about what kind of defensive strategy Popovich will propose for these head coaches in the league.

Seriously, don't say it's these people.

Ye Si was actually very curious.

Based on the public opinion before this game, if Popovich was not the head coach of the US team, it might not matter to him.

But since he is the head coach of the American team, whether it is a position that Romar does not want or what, in short, since Popovich is the head coach of the Dream Team, he has actually become the leader in the American coaching world, regardless of

Is it to prove that my position is justifiable, or to repair my lost reputation?

He will attack Rondo in this game.

Yes now really regrets saying that he made Rondo the most successful scoring champion.

He really underestimated Rondo's confidence and shame.

He feels that he needs to give Rondo more trust so that Rondo can realize how strong he is and Rondo can score more resolutely.

From the current point of view, he actually does not need to inject blood into Rondo like this. Rondo's own self-confidence is enough to go crazy with him.

Even if he doesn't say that Rondo can become the most successful scoring champion in the NBA.

Rondo also truly believes that he can become the scoring champion.

He is not afraid of being slapped in the face.

The key is that this made Rondo the target of public criticism.

Popovich is not a good person. Some of the strategies that other coaches cannot use against Rondo, Popovich will not have any psychological barriers to use.

Yes is now very convinced that Popovich will never let Rondo go in this game.

For Rondo, this is definitely not an easy game.

November 17, 2009, Key Arena, Seattle.

This game between the SuperSonics and the Spurs is about to take place.

For Sonics fans, the Spurs will always be a special teammate.

Five years ago, when the Sonics were beaten to death by the Spurs, they really didn't expect that in just five years, they would be able to complete a counterattack against the Spurs.

When the SuperSonics and Spurs met, it was the first time that the rankings of the two sides were so disparate.

And the reason for the disparity is that the Supersonic speed is too high and the Spurs are too low.

This makes Sonics fans very excited and excited.

"Every time the Seattle SuperSonics meet the Spurs, the game never disappoints!"

Barkley said with a smile as he listened to the wild cheers of the SuperSonics fans at the scene.

"The Spurs without Bowen did have a lot of problems this season. Bowen played a great role in the Spurs. In addition, the change in the overall style of the league has posed more challenges to the Spurs. If we talk about last season,

The Spurs are the strongest in history, so although the Spurs this season are not the weakest, they are definitely the toughest, and the Seattle SuperSonics, their record and performance this season are incredible."

Although he does not support Yes and the SuperSonics, Kenny Smith cannot say anything against his will based on the performance of Yes and the SuperSonics this season.

Especially now that he was listening to Rondo's hammering sound on the court, he couldn't say anything against his will to Yes.

How much strength and outstanding performance does it take for such a player to become the first in the league in scoring and at the same time his team ranks first in the league?

It's not fifteen, it's second. You're right.

"You are all arguing about who is the No. 1 fan, Barkley or Pippen. I can tell you responsibly that the No. 1 fan in the world is Rondo. Barkley and Pippen are playing up that they are the No. 1 fan.

When they are fans, they need very exciting words and emotions, while I need a lot of exaggerated words. Sometimes our language and words are too beautiful, which will make you feel sick and disbelief, but Rajon Rondo, he

There is no need to speak or write, he just needs to raise his hand, and you will hear his highest praise for Yes, and you will believe it."

I truly believe it.

Many people say that TNT's live broadcast of Rondo's shooting training before the game is the highest compliment to Yes.

That's really true.

Rondo's pregame shooting drills are now the most entertaining and most watched workouts in sports around the world.

It’s not just the audience commentators who are watching intently.

Popovich is also looking very seriously now.

As one of the best head coaches in the NBA, he never thought that one day he would have to defend such a player!

It’s not that he likes to use foul language, it’s just that this is really unbelievable.

It is said that Yes supported Rondo to win the scoring title this season, which is a mockery of other scorers in the entire league.

But in his view, this is also a mockery of other coaches throughout the league.

I just want to support a garbage player that you once didn't bother to develop special tactics for him. I want to see if you will put down your pride and develop special defensive tactics for him.

As a head coach in the NBA, it is really hard for me to formulate special tactics for a player who is almost at the elementary school level on the offensive end.

It's okay if you can really defend, but if you can't defend with your specialized defensive tactics, then you are simply ruining your own job and becoming a laughing stock.
