The Seattle SuperSonics are very strong, their record is even better than the Lakers, and they are currently ranked third in the Western Conference.
The Bullets had just been beaten by the Nuggets, who were third from last in the Western Conference, by 35 points. Not many people were optimistic that the Bullets could win tonight's game.
Even so, the attendance rate tonight was still very high, and many fans came for the Michigan Five.
Lin Yu analyzed the Sonics' lineup, and after the analysis, he came to a conclusion that made him laugh or cry.
The lineup configuration of this Sonics is exactly the same as the bullets before Lin Yu traveled through time.
Both have a bulky big center inside, the bullet is Muresan, and the Sonics also have a white center, Jim McElwain, who is 216 centimeters tall.
Two power forwards are deployed at the third and fourth positions. The Bullets are Webber and Howard, and the Sonics are Rainman Kemp plus German anti-aircraft gun Schrempf.
The offensive capabilities of the second position are good, but they are not the kind of shooting guards with strong scoring power. The Bullets are Chaney, and the SuperSonics are Jose Hawkins.
The point guards are all All-Stars, the Bullets are speedsters, and the Sonics are Glove Payton.
The lineup configuration is almost the same. The SuperSonics can be ranked third in the Western Conference, but the Bullets can only be ranked last. There must be a problem in this.
When the game started and after the first round, Lin Yu immediately realized what the problem was.
Payton's defense was ridiculously strong. The first pass of the game was intercepted by Payton. He immediately led the team to counterattack and assisted Schrempf in the frontcourt to hit a three-pointer.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Lin Yu wouldn't have believed that a point guard could defend to such an extent. His defensive pressure had reached the extreme, and it was difficult to even hit the ball when he was forced to fly.
This is the strength of DPOY, the only point guard in NBA history. Gary Payton's defense is a block-level existence at the point guard position.
The difference between bullets and supersonic speeds is caused by the difference in strength between speeders and gloves.
After suffering a big loss at the beginning, Speed became cautious and called Rose in the frontcourt to help him with the pick-and-roll, and with the help of the pick-and-roll, he distributed the ball to Webber.
After receiving the ball, Weber first hit Rainman Kemp with his back, but the effect was not ideal. He was unable to get into a comfortable shooting position. He simply turned over and shot a mid-range shot, but unfortunately he failed to score.
But Davis, who was under the basket, made a contribution, grabbed the rebound, and then made a second attack under the basket on his own.
Davis's defense and rebounding are not as good as Ben's, but one thing he is better than Ben is his ability to attack independently.
Lin Yu looked melancholy, and Payton's defense was very strong. Kemp was not a soft persimmon. He was not the fat boy who couldn't touch the basket because of alcoholism. He was at his peak and his defensive ability was extremely strong.
It is not unreasonable for Kemp to beat Webber in All-Star votes. His overall strength is indeed stronger than the current Webber.
In the Sonics' offensive round, Payton passed the ball to Schrempf, who made a mid-range shot near the free throw line.
"Snapped!"
The moment Schrempf took action, Mashburn raised his hand and made a big hit. This ball gave Lin Yu, who was originally pessimistic, a moment of hope.
If Marsh can lock down Schrempf, the Bullets may not have no hope of winning tonight.
Schrempf is Nowitzki's idol and his draft template, so the styles of the two are similar, but Schrempf is not as tall as Nowitzki, and his jumping ability is not strong , his shot height is far inferior to Nowitzki.
Jaylen Rose picked up the ball and assisted Weber in the frontcourt to score a mid-range shot. Although Weber scored, the goal was extremely difficult to score and was almost blocked by Kemp.
Turning to the SuperSonics round, Kemp singled out Webber, but failed to succeed. The rebound was collected by Davis.
The two sides were fighting each other with punches and kicks. After a few minutes of fighting, the fans at the scene were stunned. The scoreboard was 5:4. Both sides had only scored two goals in such a long time.
The SuperSonics' defensive intensity is extremely high. With the addition of Marshburn to the Bullets, the defensive intensity is not what it used to be. After Schrempf scored a three-pointer in the opening game, his subsequent two shots were all missed by Marshburn. Ben got defensive.
Lin Yu didn't know whether to cry or laugh. As the Bullets' defensive intensity, he, as the head coach, should be happy, but with such a constipated rhythm, how can Weber improve his attributes?
After finally arriving at "Seal of Kindred" by chance, and it happened to be the All-Star Weekend, he only had the opportunity to use it in two games. Now he encountered such a constipation game, Lin Yu couldn't be happy at all.
Just when Lin Yu was worried, something happened on the field.
Payton missed a mid-range shot, and four big men on both sides gathered together to grab the rebound. Davis saw Kemp trying to collect the rebound, and slapped the basketball directly. The next second, the basketball hit Kemp directly in the face. superior.
Kemp's nosebleeds suddenly poured out, and the impact was severe.
Of course, it's definitely not a major injury, or even a minor injury. It might be fine in half an hour or an hour, but there is a rule on the court that you have to leave the field after seeing blood. Kemp could only glare at David After that, he ended up reluctantly.
The referee didn't even blow the whistle for Davis, because no matter from any point of view, Davis did not have the slightest suspicion of foul play.
The referee gave an official timeout and the players from both sides came off the field.
"Coach, you're so amazing. It's not in vain that I presented you with the best steak and red wine."
After Jaylen Rose came off the court, he leaned next to Lin Yu and whispered.
Lin Yu was stunned, couldn't it really be that Master Guan and King Hong Tian appeared? Is eating chow really effective? It seems impossible, how could they do such a thing as chickens and dogs stealing.
Regardless of whether it was a manifestation or not, Lin Yu still silently thanked Guan Erye and Hong Tianwang in his heart. Kemp's exit was too timely. If he had not exited, it would be difficult for Weber to gain considerable attributes tonight.
"After returning to the court, give the ball to Chris. While Kemp is not here, we need Webber to open up the situation."
Lin Yu whispered to Jaylen Rose.
The official timeout ends and the game continues.
Without Kemp, the Sonics no longer have anyone to limit Webber.
In addition, Payton's speed was completely locked up, and he had no chance to make a shot. Mashburn also had a psychological barrier to offense, so he would not take a shot unless absolutely necessary. Davis is a blue-collar worker, and at most he can only grab offensive rebounds and play two-timers. On offense, Jaylen Rose received instructions from Lin Yu again, which meant that Webber became the only offensive point for the Bullets.
Weber was on full fire, making mid-range shots one after another, leading the Bullets to gradually build an advantage.
Now Lin Yu actually doesn't care much about winning or losing this game. He just wants Weber to score more points. As long as Weber can get considerable attributes, it doesn't matter if he loses this game.
SuperSonics coach George Karl watched helplessly as Webber asked for everything on the court, but had no choice. After Kemp retired from injury, the players he could use to face Webber were either Schrempf or the 36-year-old " Cadillac" Terry Cummings.
Not to mention the 36-year-old, even Cummings in his prime was not good at defense, and he couldn't guard Webb.
It wasn't until halfway through the fourth quarter that Kemp successfully stopped the bleeding and returned to the court. Unfortunately, facing a 20-point deficit, the Sonics were unable to recover.
"The-truth!"
"truth!"
"truth!"
As soon as the buzzer sounded at the end of the game, cheers filled the Verizon Arena.
Weber scored 56 points and 11 rebounds tonight. His score not only broke his personal single-game scoring record, but also directly topped the single-game scoring list this season. He scored 40+ in two consecutive games, which is also an incredible feat. .
Lin Yu was dumbfounded. Truth? Isn't that Paul Pierce's nickname? It seems like Pierce hasn't even entered the league yet.
Seeing Webber raising his arms and enjoying the cheers of the fans at the scene, Lin Yu suddenly remembered that Webber's nickname was also the-truth, and he collided with Pierce.
Speaking of this matter, we can't avoid O'Fat. In 2001, the Greencaps played by Pierce played against the Lakers. Pierce performed well in this game, scoring 42 points on 13-of-19 shots. After the game, O'Pang grabbed A Greencap reporter wildly exclaimed that Pierce was the truth.
You must know that Webber has already taken the nickname of Truth. O'Brien's behavior is purely to disgust Webber. The Lakers encountered the Kings in the playoffs in the previous two seasons. Webber caused a lot of trouble to the Lakers, especially in 2000. In the first round of the playoffs, Webb almost led the team to stop the Lakers in the first round of the playoffs.
O'Brien's disgusting ability is definitely not inferior to his dominance under the basket. He can pay his teammates to beat Kobe, he can mock Big McGee until he sheds tears, and he can blow Howard's heart to pieces...
Lin Yu sighed in his heart, after doing this to Ao Pang, decades later, everyone in the world will know the truth Pierce, but who knows that the real truth is actually Weber.
"Ding, the game is over and the settlement of "Qian Jue's Seal" has begun."
"The designated player in this game, Chris Webber, hit 21 mid-range shots and 3 three-pointers, for a total of 24 goals and gained 8 random attributes."
The next attribute distribution results made Lin Yu excited.
The mid-range shooting attribute has been improved by 3 points, and the three-point shooting attribute has been improved by 2 points. It is definitely good steel used on the blade.
Weber's mid-range shooting attributes soared to 93 points, and his three-point attributes also soared to 90 points!
The more Lin Yu thought about it, the more distressed he became. "Seal of a Thousand Jues" came at a really bad time. It happened to be the All-Star Weekend of Killing a Thousand Swords, and it only worked twice!
If it can take effect in four games, Webber will have better luck. Not only does his mid-range shooting attribute reach 100 points, there is still hope for 98 points.
Once he reaches 98 points in the mid-range shooting, and relying on his top physical talent, he will be Jordan who is 8 centimeters taller!
