Back in 84, he became Jordan’s lifelong enemy!

Chapter 198 The unstoppable Supersonic Speed!

The rematch between the Dallas Mavericks and the Seattle SuperSonics is here as scheduled.

But just as the fans thought before the game, they could easily defeat the Mavericks in the last game, and this one is no exception.

The only difference is that Lenny Wilkens has changed his lineup.

He moved Karl Malone and Joe Dumars to the starting position, Malone as the fifth position and the latter as the second position.

As soon as the starting list came out, not to mention the opponent's head coach Dick Motta, even NBC's Dick Stockton, the host of this game, saw that the SuperSonics played fast in this game.

In the first nine games of the season, Malone and Joe Dumars, as the most important rotation players on the bench, did not play a lot of time, averaging about 22 or 23 minutes per game, but they averaged 13 or 14 points per game.

The average points per game may not seem to be much, but their mobility, impact, and good shooting level have always been the team's most important firepower support.

Using the two to replace McCormick and Al Wood, who have mediocre talent and strength, means that the Sonics are going to speed up.

This change of formation caught all the Mavericks soldiers by surprise.

Even though the latest lineup was handed to them one day in advance, when the game started and the Sonics immediately accelerated their offensive pace, the Mavericks still didn't get used to it.

In the end, the SuperSonics defeated their opponents by 137:97 by 40 points again, winning their ninth victory of the new season.

9 wins and 1 losses!

The SuperSonics continue to dominate the record list.

In this game, Su Wen made 22 of 15 shots, 8 of 4 three-pointers, and 11 of 10 free throws. While scoring 44 points, he grabbed 12 rebounds, sent out 13 assists, and had 3 steals and 2 blocks.

Seeing that they were about to follow in the footsteps of the previous game, the Mavericks had to force a change of formation, replacing Jack Sikoma and replacing him with an inside player who was about the same height and weight as Malone to limit the opponent's offensive rhythm.

At the end of the first half, the Mavericks lost another 8 points in this quarter and trailed by 51 points 77:26 at halftime.

After just one quarter, the Mavericks fell behind by 20 points at 38:18.

As a perennial starter, Chambers did not perform much in this game after Malone was put into the starting lineup. In a limited 18 shots, he hit 10 goals and also scored 22 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists. .

He once again had a triple-double, his second triple-double of the new season and the sixth triple-double of his career.

He set his first record of two consecutive triple-doubles, and also brought the total number of triple-doubles in his career to seven.

乔·杜马斯表现稍稍逊色一些，15投8中，拿到了20分3篮板4助攻。

The Clippers had a good start to the new season. Before the game against them, despite suffering a three-game losing streak, they still had 5 wins and 4 losses, ranking fifth in the Western Conference.

Although the SuperSonics played away from home, even though Su Wen and others had two consecutive battles back to back, in this game, they still defeated the Clippers with a huge advantage of 109:85 and 24 points, winning their tenth game.

Unfortunately, the inside line composed of Detlef Schrempf and Kurt Nimfis, the eighth overall pick in the first round they selected this year, is not enough to completely suppress the impact of Malone and Chambers. , played extremely passively in the second quarter, and the defense was out of formation.

Su Wen controlled the ball and attacked in series. Malone, Dumas, Davis and Chambers, like Big Yellow and Little Yellow who had just been released from home for a long time, ran wildly and rushed in again and again. Inside, he attacked the basket and killed the Mavericks for a while, completely defeated.

Four members of the SuperSonics scored 20+ and two scored 30+. With everyone in such a state, do you want to lose?

too difficult.

However, they worked hard for 48 minutes this night, but still had to accept the defeat with regret.

Karl Malone got the opportunity to start for the first time. In 34 minutes of playing time, he also performed well. He took 21 shots, hit 14 goals, and scored 30 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks.

After defeating the Mavericks and winning two games against the latter this season, they started their road trip again and went to Los Angeles to face the Clippers.

In this game, Su Wen's score rarely dropped to 20+.

全场出手17次，命中10球，三分5中1，罚球6中4，三节打卡的情形下，拿到了25分15篮板15助攻2抢断5封盖的数据。

In the third quarter, the Mavericks still wanted to make a desperate struggle and beat the SuperSonics. However, as Su Wen hit two consecutive three-pointers and continued to hit the basket to cause damage, their initial momentum was immediately suppressed. .

However, even so, the Supersonic soldiers still cannot relax.

They are currently ranked first in the league record, but they are second and third, only one win away from them.

波士顿凯尔特人7胜1负，洛杉矶湖人7胜1负，他们的负场和超音速一样，胜场就比他们的10胜1负少了3场。

After defeating the Clippers, all members of the SuperSonics headed to Phoenix non-stop to face the Suns.

In this game, the Sonics were so unstoppable that they were almost scorched by their opponents.

They were originally tied with their opponents at 30:30 in the first quarter.

The second time, something suddenly happened again and again.

McCormick originally started the game, but in the second quarter he sprained his foot while fighting for rebounds from his opponent and was forced to withdraw from the game.

Not only that, when Wood rushed inside to attack the frame with the ball, he collided with the opponent Xavier McDaniel, his knee was pushed, and he also retired due to injury.

The repeated injuries and retirements of generals were a huge blow to the Sonics.

Of course, it is a big plus for Malone and Dumas.

The injuries of McCormick and Wood allowed them to fill in.

It was precisely because the two of them made consecutive shots at the critical moment and withstood the Suns' counterattack that they were able to escape from the away game.

In this game, the Sonics narrowly defeated their opponent by two points, 119:117, and continued their winning streak.

At this time, the SuperSonics' record reached 11 wins and 1 loss, and their winning streak exceeded 10 games.

Su Wen received an experience bonus of 1.1 times.

But they still felt Alexander.

Because the Lakers are still on a winning streak.

While the SuperSonics narrowly defeated the Suns, the Lakers also beat their city rivals the Clippers 127:96. With a current record of 9 wins and 1 loss, the Lakers continue to rank second in the Western Conference and second in the league.

The Celtics are close behind with 8 wins and 1 loss. The fourth place is still the Houston Rockets with 8 wins and 2 losses.

The fifth place is the Denver Nuggets with 7 wins and 2 losses.

This is probably the first tier of the league this season. Teams in the future will lose more than 4 games.

After winning the Suns, all members of the SuperSonics went to San Antonio non-stop again to face the Spurs.

There was nothing to say about this game. Facing the powerful defending champions, the Spurs could hardly make a splash. In the third quarter, they entered garbage time with a 99:65, 34-loss disadvantage.

Last season, they almost always struggled to win some games at the beginning, but in the first 13 games of this season, half of the games were won by more than 20 points.

Such a sharp offensive was even exclaimed by many mainstream media as "the favorite to win the championship", and its strength is considered to be higher than that of the Celtics and Lakers.

Especially on that day, when the Celtics lost to the Indiana Pacers 109:111 and were beginning to fall behind, the call to defend the championship became even louder.

However, the Lakers still continued to win.

On the second day, there were only two games, including the Lakers and New Jersey Nets.

The Lakers launched an offensive attack from the very beginning, scoring an astonishing 78 points at halftime and 138:119 in the game, beating their opponents by 18 points and increasing their winning streak to 10 games.

Two days later, the Houston Rockets also began to fall behind.

Previously, they had 9 wins and 2 losses, ranking fourth in the league, and competing with the Denver Nuggets, who had 8 wins and 2 losses, for third place in the Western Conference.

However, after the two sides met for the first time this season, the Rockets were ultimately unable to survive the Nuggets' ferocious cavalry. They were defeated 113:127 and lost by 14 points.

In this game, the Denver Nuggets surpassed them with a record of 9 wins and 2 losses, ranking third in the Western Conference and third in the league.

At the same time, the Los Angeles Lakers also maintained their winning streak.

In their second battle with their city rivals, the Clippers, they once again easily dominated their opponents, scoring 122 points and allowing only 107 points to their opponents.

In a game, the side with the most points always wins!

The Lakers' wins have also reached 11 games, and they continue to chase the SuperSonics.

Although the Celtics also won, with 9 wins and 2 losses, they looked quite behind the Lakers and SuperSonics after playing two or three fewer games.

However, the SuperSonics, which was going smoothly and had always been ranked first, never expected that they would hold on, but their competitors would be the first to fail and lose.

On the second day of the game, the Lakers, ranked second in the league, met the Denver Nuggets, ranked third in the league.

The two sides fought fiercely for 48 minutes, and the Nuggets had the last laugh, defeating the Lakers 121:120.

Although the Lakers' ranking did not change after losing this game, it still narrowed the gap between the two sides.

There is only half a game difference between the 11 wins and 2 losses for the Lakers and the 10 wins and 2 losses for them.

At the same time, because the Lakers lost the game, they also opened up a win and a half with the SuperSonics.

July 11, late.

When it was drizzling in Seattle, the local team ushered in the moment of revenge.

In the game between the SuperSonics and the Rockets, faced with a slight height gap in the interior, the former speeded up the whole game and kept chasing their opponents.

Su Wen scored 7 points while dishing out 14 assists in the first quarter.

In the second half, the Rockets began to counterattack, frequently hitting the inside and succeeding.

But with Su Wen's continuous shots from outside the three-point line and Dumas providing firepower, even if Malone and Chambers were suppressed by the opponent's twin towers for a half, they still relied on the super firepower of the forward and defensive lines. The game completed its revenge with a huge advantage of 132:101, 31 points.
