The unexpected victory of the physically and mentally exhausted Seattle SuperSonics over the Detroit Pistons was a very, very pleasant surprise for the old Nelson.

It also makes a lot of coconut flour media and coconut flour feel incredible.

What was supposed to be an expected defeat was once again turned into an invisibility by Yes and turned into a victory.

However, the failure of the Seattle supersonic finally came.

On December 28, 2008, the Seattle SuperSonics challenged the second opponent of this Eastern Conference road trip and now the fourth-ranked team in the East, the Washington Wizards.

The Washington Wizards have been one of the two strongest teams over the past two seasons and have been the only team in the East to threaten the Big Three Boston Celtics during the regular season.

Although the Wizards have always been on the very weak side in the competition with the Boston Celtics, the Wizards were almost beaten or even swept by the Boston Celtics in the two Eastern Conference Finals meetings.

Of course, that was in the playoffs, and in the regular season, the Wizards' situation was completely different from the playoffs.

Arenas, Antoine Jamison, Caron Butler, this triumvirate combination that is a little bit of a beggar in addition to Arenas is indeed a little unsightly in front of the real Celtics triumvirate, except for Arenas, Jamison and Butler are almost all hammered by Garnett and Pierce, these two are not trustworthy at all in the playoffs, at least in the playoffs in the first two seasons, these two people don't seem to be so trustworthy.

But in the regular season, these two are really good guys.

With an average of 20+ points per game in the regular season almost every season, coupled with the madness and horror of Arenas, the Wizards are a very strong team in the regular season.

In the past two seasons, the Wizards have been the team with the best record against the strong teams in the East and the West, and the Wizards have even better records than the Boston Celtics against the big teams in the West.

It can be said that the Wizards led by Arenas are the face and representative of the Eastern Conference in the regular season in the past two years.

The only face in the East in the regular season was not earned by the Celtics as the Big Three, but by the Wizards and Arenas, who were the second in the East.

The regular season games are not so targeted, Butler and Jamison and other regular season All-Stars can have very good performances, coupled with Arenas's tough power, no team can win so easily against the Wizards in the regular season.

Although the Wizards' limelight in the East this season is not so big, it is a little different from the protagonist team in the East in the past two seasons, but this does not mean that the Wizards have fallen and their strength has fallen off a cliff.

Originally, after the playoffs last season, many people did feel that the Wizards were going to fall off a cliff, or even be disbanded.

Arenas' contract expired.

Jamison's contract has also expired.

After two contracts expired by the Big Three and it looked like they had been humiliated by the Celtics twice in a row in the playoffs, these star players of the Wizards don't seem ready to continue their journey in Washington.

And in the summer of this year, it is true that both Arenas and Jamison have received very good offers, Arenas has even been sought after by the entire league, and even several leading players of the Grizzlies have stated that as long as Arenas is willing to join, they are willing to give up the position of the team leader to Arenas.

Originally, the whole world thought that Arenas was going to the Grizzlies to start their own era.

No one thought that Arenas would finally renew his contract!

After Arenas renewed his contract, Jamison, who had been stating that he was leaving, suddenly didn't know why, as if he was influenced by Arenas, and actually renewed his contract, which is quite magical.

This season in the East, the Wizards' presence is not as strong, but the presence of this team is not as strong as in the past two seasons, not because the strength of this team has declined.

In fact, the presence of the Celtics, Cavaliers and Heat, the three Eastern powerhouses, is too strong and too strong.

This season's East is completely different from the weak East in the past few seasons, and now even three of the top five teams in the league are in the East.

In this case, unless the Wizards' record can be very prominent, or Arenas's stats can be quite prominent, it will be difficult for the Wizards to overtake the other three teams in the East in terms of presence.

The Wizards are a little better this season than last season, and the Wizards are still on the rise.

Although Jamison is thirty-two years old, he has already started to go downhill.

But Arenas, Butler is still at the top, and even Arenas is still going up.

And Sun Yue, Brandon Haywood, Andre Blatche, these young core players are also improving, plus the performance of JJ Hickson, who was selected by the rookie this season, is also quite surprising, not only making up for Jamison's lost game time due to the decline, but also this athleticism is extremely good, rebounding and defense are also quite good, quite energetic young people can just make up for the Wizards' lack of defense in the power forward position, Jamison and Bradge are not purely defensive players.

It can be said that this season's Wizards are stronger than last season.

It's just that the other three teams in the East are just too strong and too strong.

It's not as strong as the other three in the East, and its presence is not so strong, but it's still no problem to be a sitting tiger in Washington, DC.

This season, the Wizards are at home, and the teams that come here, whether it is the top three in the East or the top four in the West, are not so easy to get out of here.

In this game against the Wizards, Nelson Sr. and the SuperSonics have made a lot of difficult preparations.

Yesterday's game against the Pistons was a very hard game, and it wasn't until the last moment that Yes's outburst was won.

This game with the Wizards is back-to-back, and the Wizards are much stronger than the Pistons.

It's a really, really tough game.

Even if the old Nelson and the SuperSonics are well prepared for this game and fully aware of the difficulties of this game.

But when the game started, Nelson Sr. and the Seattle SuperSonics were still stunned by the strong Wizards.

After this back-to-back away game with the Wizards began, at the beginning of the game, just after the first quarter, the Wizards led by Arenas gave the Seattle SuperSonics a huge disadvantage.

There was no rotation for the SuperSonics in this game, although Milicic and Millsap did not recover completely, or even did not recover anything at all, after all, it was in a continuous away trip, and it was really impossible to talk about this kind of thing, but there was no way, this game with the Wizards was the last game of the Eastern road trip, and it was on the gritting of teeth.

But even so, at the end of the first quarter, with Arenas' 16-point performance in a single quarter, the Wizards led the SuperSonics by 10 points at home 36-26.

Arenas was in great shape in this game, and the rest of the Wizards were in great shape.

Even Sun Yue, a player who shot just over 30% of his shots this season, shot two three-pointers in the first quarter of this game.

On the supersonic side, in addition to Yes's state is still stable, the offensive state of other supersonic players is indeed very, very thin.

According to Nelson Sr.'s estimates, it will take at least a week for these players to recover from such physical and mental exhaustion.

The Wizards were in good shape in this game, and even the Suns and Rockets last season had a sense of retreat when they met them.

In this game in which the Wizards were in good shape, Yees played three quarters, played 32 minutes of the game, and scored 45 points in 32 minutes.

In this game, Yees did not brush assists, and it was not because he was intimidated by the ability of Harden and Rondo to brush assists for teammates.

Rather, I really can't get an assist!

It's just that his scoring is a drop in the bucket when facing Arenas and the Wizards, who are like a rainbow in offense and have excellent hands.

The end of the third quarter of this game became garbage time.

The whole fourth quarter is garbage time.

Throughout the fourth quarter, Yes sat on the bench and watched Harden, Sessions, Ingles, Ibaka and Nick Collison being abused by the Wizards' bench players on the court.

Of course, Yes's main focus is on James Harden.

James Harden is a key figure in his assist plan.

In the past, Ye Si also paid attention to Harden, after all, he was the only player on the team other than Durant who he knew of with five-star potential.

It's just that he didn't pay attention to it so much before.

Right now......

He can see that James Harden's five-star is completely different from Durant's five-star.

Durant's catch-and-shoot ability is very, very strong, and his ability to brush assists for his teammates is also extremely strong.

And James Harden ......

He also has the ability to catch and shoot, but after receiving the ball, he habitually dribbles and habitually observes the defensive condition of the defenders.

Durant's offensive approach is even more unreasonable, I just throw it, and if you have the ability, you will cover me.

James Harden's offensive style, on the other hand, feels very reasonable, or rather unusually cautious.

Is such caution, such reasoning a good thing?

Of course it's a good thing, watching the defense and adjusting the way you attack, that's what a lot of coaches say when they teach their players.

What's more, James Harden's attribute of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages is used in this way, if you don't observe carefully, how can you pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages? How do you make an opponent's defensive foul or an offensive foul?

Therefore, although the state on the court at this time is that the Wizards' rotation lineup is abusing the superSonics' second-tier rotation lineup, James Harden is not at a loss on the court.

Other supersonic players can't score, tactical cooperation can't play, and the feel is poor, it can be said that the team's offense is completely stagnant, but in this case, James Harden can still continue to score and constantly cause fouls on the offensive end.

Ye Si was quite surprised to see this.

This season he has primarily taught James Harden on defense, using his attributes to play on the defensive end.

On the offensive end, James Harden is actually in a state that is relatively primitive and close to the NCAA period.

Yes can see that James Harden's strength on the offensive end is indeed not that strong, but even if it is not very strong, it can cause a lot of fouls to opponents.

In terms of this ability to make fouls, the average quasi-All-Star outside player can't compare, no, even the average All-Star player may not be able to compare!

"Pursue the advantages and avoid the disadvantages ......"

This property ......

The power of this attribute on the offensive end may be even greater!

If used well, James Harden will be the final solution to the Seattle SuperSonics rotation lineup!

It's just that......

Even if James' offensive strength becomes stronger in the future, as long as this attribute exists, James Harden will still be overly cautious on the offensive end no matter how strong he is.

Maybe he'll never be the type of player that Kevin Durant is.

In this game between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Washington Wizards, the Seattle SuperSonics still lost in the end.

110-136, a 26-point defeat on the road.

In this game, in addition to Yess scoring 45 points in the third quarter, Rondo grabbed 6 frontcourt rebounds in this game, and grabbed 11 rebounds in the whole game, the biggest highlight of this pizza is James Harden.

James Harden scored 20 points on 4-of-14 shooting from the field in this game.

Although most of the 20-point scoring in this game was brushed in the fourth quarter.

But even if it is brushed, this 20 points is the first NBA 20 points in James Harden's career.

Even if the 20 points didn't mean anything, James Harden was still happy after the game.

James Harden was excited, and Yes also congratulated the excited James Harden.

But......

"James, in the future, you can be more decisive on the offensive end, increase the receiving offense, and reduce the dribble."

Increase catch-and-shoot offense, reduce dribbling?!

James Harden's eyes lit up instantly.

Don't?!

Is Yes going to make me a starter?

As a self-proclaimed IQ player, of course he knows the limitations of his style of play, with his style of play, every time he catches the ball, he can't wait to dive 20 seconds to find a way to make a foul or an absolute chance to play, and he will be killed by his teammates in the starter!

Rondo, yes side, how can he have a chance to dribble for a long time?

Yes dribbles so strong, it won't stick to the ball!

If he wants to play as a starter, he can only improve his catch-and-shoot shots.

Just catch and shoot......

James Harden really isn't that confident.

Although there is no problem with his catch-and-shoot ability, it is not strong, as can be seen from his shooting percentage in this game, 4 of 14, if he is not allowed to dribble for a long time, let him have that strange feeling to find absolute opportunities, his offensive success rate is extremely low.

It's a bit of a headache.

Although James Harden has a slight headache now, of course, he is still more happy in his heart.

Anyway, this means that Yes values him, at least, Yes has plans to raise him to the starting lineup in his heart!

"James, from tomorrow onwards, in addition to defense, I will also teach you to attack."

"Yes!"

James Harden was excited, while the other superSonics players next to him were quite envious.

"Ever since James was elbowed by Artest, no, since James was elbowed by Charity-World-Peace, I always feel that his whole temperament has changed."

"Not only has my temperament changed, but my luck has also changed, and I can always get free throws on the court for some reason."

"18 points for three goals, 20 points for four goals, obviously only 28% of the shooting rate, but when you calculate the true shooting rate, TM actually has a true shooting rate of 61%."

"The hit rate is the same as last season's Rajan, and the true hit rate can be twice as high as Rajan! This Nima is too unreasonable, isn't it? ”

“……”

Rondo's face was ugly.

Nima's, take the second master and this bewitching jian goods than Nima!

Erye is a straightforward person.,What is the hit rate, what is the real hit rate.,Never play these fictitious!

But......

Rondo subconsciously learned from James Harden, who was on the court before, to make a big loop with both hands.

His arms are also very long, but why is it so awkward to do this big loop?

Soon, Rondo's face became even darker.

Because, he knew why it was so awkward.

Nima's, the defenders are two meters away from him, and no matter how his arm is up, he can't throw it under the defender's arm with a big loop!

Unless he has an arm span of four meters.

If he really has a four-meter arm span, and he still has a hair, he can stand directly under the basket and dunk it!

Nima's, with the same hit rate, put two meters on the second master, why not put two meters on James Harden, the bewitching jian?

I know how to treat the second master differently!

If it weren't for the different treatment of the second master, the second master would have taken off early Nima!

Rondo is upset right now.

And now Arenas is quite cool.

"Yes, I wanted to score 100 points in this game!"

“……”

"I'm not kidding, your kid's defense is too strong, I'm in such good shape in this game, it's so far from 100 points, so far!"

"It seems that my hard power has not yet reached the level where I can score 100 points in the NBA, Kobe Bryant is a distance away from 100 points, and I am also a distance away."

Looking at the excited Arenas in front of him, Yes was a little surprised, and he could tell from Arenas' face that the leading player of the Wizards team was not joking when he said that he was going to score 100 points.

He was serious.

Ye Si really didn't expect that the 100 points he scored to complete the task could actually bring such motivation and excitement to Arenas.

But......

"Come on."

Yes finally nodded earnestly to Arenas.

"I knew you'd agree with me!"

Arenas was even happier.

Seeing Arenas, who is now full of fighting spirit again, the Wizards players next to him are everyone looking at Yes with resentment in their eyes.

How they wanted Arenas to give up their efforts.

How they wish there was someone in this world who could make Arenas say, "Auntie, I don't want to work hard. "That's the case.

Nima's, Arenas would have worked hard on his own, he still likes to force them to work together, and that's fucked up!

Look at Arenas's meaning of chasing Yes's footsteps, if he doesn't catch up with Yes, he won't stop trying.

In other words, they have to work hard with Arenas for the rest of their lives?

They want money and status now, and they really don't want to work hard!

However, in the face of the crazy Arenas and the elegant and easy-going big treasures in his hands, can they not work hard?

Everyone in the Wizards looked at Yes with a resentful expression.

Being stared at like this by these Wizards players, Yes didn't even know what to say.

He'd actually like to see Arenas and the Wizards like that.

After Ye Si took a deep look at Sun Yue's body, he turned around and left with the supersonic player.

When Sun Yue entered the NBA, he was still a player who looked thin and elegant, but now, he has moved closer to the muscular brother route.

In the NBA, anything can be deceived, but the muscles on the body, the muscles on the stomach are always more convincing than the white chicken and the pot-bellied poop.

After the Seattle SuperSonics lost to the Wizards in Washington, the Seattle SuperSonics, who are 21-11 in 32 games, are still in fifth place in the West ahead of the Phoenix Suns.

The Seattle SuperSonics' previous winning streak gave the Seattle SuperSonics a very big advantage in qualifying.

However, the loss to the Washington Wizards was not the last loss for the Seattle SuperSonics.

On December 30, 2008, the Seattle SuperSonics returned to their home court to face the Suns, who are now in fifth place in the West.

In the end, the Seattle SuperSonics lost 112-120 to the Suns at home.

This game is a home game for the Seattle SuperSonics, but in reality, this home game is not much different from the away game.

In the NBA, the most important advantage for a home team is to recharge their batteries and play against their opponents at home.

But the Seattle SuperSonics flew all the way back from Washington, DC.

How far is Washington DC from Seattle?

One is easternmost and the other is western, spanning four thousand kilometers across the United States.

On the contrary, the Suns, who are playing away, have been resting until now after playing the game against the Spurs on December 26, and even came to Seattle early to prepare for the game against the SuperSonics.

This game is not so much a home game for the Seattle SuperSonics as it is a home game for the Phoenix Suns.

After losing to the Suns at home, the Seattle SuperSonics' current record has also become 21-12, and the Seattle SuperSonics, who have lost two in a row, are still in fifth place in the West, because the Suns, who are sixth in the West, now have a record of 19 wins and 12 losses, although the two teams lost the same game, but the Suns played two games less, and they are still one game away from the Seattle SuperSonics' wins.

The Seattle SuperSonics and Suns have played two games this season, losing both games.

According to the division record and the direct head-to-head record, as long as the Phoenix Suns win the next two games in the game, then the Suns will also surpass the SuperSonics to become fifth in the West.

Now the supersonic ranks fifth in the West, but the initiative in the fifth place in the West is not in the hands of the Hypersonics, but in the hands of the Suns.

After suffering two straight losses, the Seattle SuperSonics finally ended their losing streak by defeating the Warriors on December 31, when the SuperSonics came to challenge the Warriors on the road.

This game against the Warriors can be said to be a game in which the Seattle SuperSonics are mentally and physically exhausted to the extreme.

Playing four games in five days, and this kind of long home-and-away back-to-back in the East and West after the hellish Christmas schedule, such a schedule is, according to many NBA coaches and players, simply anti-human.

If it weren't for the Seattle SuperSonics meeting the Beasley-led Golden State Warriors in this game, I'm afraid any Western team could beat the SuperSonics in this game.

Even if the Warriors lost this game, it was only a 110-117 loss.

Although the Warriors are ranked first in the West and the bottom of the league, this team really doesn't want to win.

Like last season's Heat, this Warriors team really wants to win!

As the big leader of the Warriors, several games against the SuperSonics this season can score more than 40+ points in each game, plus this game with the SuperSonics, the Warriors have played a total of 34 games this season, and Beasley has scored 20+ points in 34 consecutive games.

This season was Beasley's rookie season, and Beasley was asked by Jerry West to score at least 20 points per game in his rookie season, no matter what.

According to many media outlets, the reason why Jerry West asked Beasley to do this was not to teach Beasley to use unlimited fire rights to farm data, but to cultivate Beasley's ability to fight in the face of adversity.

According to these public opinions in the United States, although the Warriors are weak, the team is going all out to win from top to bottom.

This public opinion ......

Pretty weird.

It's not just Yes who finds it strange, but Nelson Sr. and Presti, the general manager of the SuperSonics, also find it very strange.

"The Warriors are building momentum for their No. 1 pick next season."

According to SuperSonics general manager Presti, Jerry West is now building momentum for the Warriors to get the No. 1 pick.

Jerry West asked Beasley to follow in Yes's footsteps, not to tell Beasley that victory and fighting spirit are more important than protecting the shooting percentage, at least not just telling Beasley this, in addition to telling Beasley this, this is also giving David Stern face.

Jerry West is telling David Stern, David, don't look at us playing bad, you know we're messing up, but we're not harming the interests of the NBA, the interests of the league.

You see, Beasley, our team, in his rookie season, 20+ in 34 consecutive games, 20+ in every game in his career, and 29 points per game in his career rookie season, how much traffic and attention can this bring to the league?

While the Warriors are messing around, Beasley and we are no less valuable to the league than those playoff teams!

You can see Beasley's strength, his value, and his righteous and hard-working character, can you bear to see such a player who can be the perfect leader in the NBA without a good assistant?

Presti does have a big problem with trading, emotional intelligence, and getting along with people.

But in terms of IQ, in terms of eyes, this supersonic general manager is indeed a bit of a god.

After Presti analyzed the current operations of the Warriors and Jerry West in the team meeting, Yes and SuperSonics head coach Nelson Sr., president Rick Sander and others really had a feeling of shock.

Not only is it amazing to Presti, but it is also amazing to Jerry West!

The Warriors are rotten, which anyone with a little bit of intelligence can see and can't deceive.

But Jerry West can do such a humiliating job of messing around.

The players did not lose their desire to win because of the sloppy swing.

The league has not lost its interests because of this team's swing.

Fans have not lost their expectations of this team because of the team's sloppy swing.

"This is indeed Jerry's style, he is different from those vulture-type management, he will consider the interests of all aspects very comprehensively, and while he gets benefits, others will not suffer, so many people respect him and are willing to cooperate with him."

Now that the schedule is halfway through, the Warriors are now quite secure in the bottom of the league.

While many other Eastern Conference teams are also messing around, it's still quite rare for the Warriors to win almost a game.

Not to mention such an all-encompassing operation as Jerry West.

It's still 2008, but the 2009 champion may be out of suspense.

"Even if David Stern is unwilling to sign the champion to a bad team, Jerry West and the Warriors' operation this season may make David Stern a typical example of a bad team in the league, and it can be bad, but it can't hurt the interests of the league and the interests of the fans."

It's just that such a statement is only easy to say.

Does it hurt the interests of the league and the fans?

Who can do it but a master like Jerry West?

There is only one and only one Jerry West in the history of the League.

"Champion ......"

Ye Si thought of the disciple who was now leading the University of Washington to the NCAA killing.

Could it be him?

Yes didn't know, but he knew that his disciple had privately received invitations from Isaiah Thomas and the New York Knicks.

Now I'm ready to go to New York, the world's largest city, to be the boss.

Beating the Warriors on the final day of 2008, the Seattle SuperSonics was the perfect end to 2008.

After all the 2008 games were over, the entire NBA took a day off on January 1, 2009 for the New Year.

The Seattle SuperSonics finally got a little respite after this incredible devilish schedule.

On the same day, the league announced its December 2008 Player of the Month.

With a 99-point performance and a 104-point performance in December, Yes won the NBA Player of the Month award for the last month of 2008.

Throughout December, the Seattle SuperSonics weren't that great, but Yes's individual performance was just too good.

With only three victories of 88 points with the Cavaliers, 99 points with the Lakers and 104 points with the Heat, even if the SuperSonics lose all the other games in December, it is impossible to give the best of the month to others.

At the same time, the league also announced the results of the second phase of the NBA All-Star election......
