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

Chapter 199 The battle for the top spot!

"Who has a greater chance of winning this game?"

On the night of November 11th, the Los Angeles Lakers also had a game to play.

They faced the visiting San Antonio Spurs at home, and the score was 61:55 at halftime.

Although they were only ahead by 6 points, which did not have a great impact on the situation, they were not under any pressure. They were chatting while watching the game between the Sonics and the Nuggets in the physical therapy room in the locker room.

At this time, the two teams on the TV were warming up and had not yet started.

James Worthy, as one of the team's starting five players, asked his teammates in a relaxed manner, which seemed to indicate an opening.

These people take this game very seriously.

Because if the Sonics successfully win the Nuggets, they will be able to occupy second place in the Western Conference and surpass the Nuggets again and put them under them.

This is why after Pat Riley laid out the tactics for the second half, they couldn't wait to enter the physical therapy room to watch the game.

"That guy might score 60 or 70 points in the game against us."

"What if the Sonics give us the whole big one?"

"If the Sonics lose to the Nuggets, we may be facing the wrath of Suvin."

"There's nothing to say, I guess the Sonics." Veteran Kareem Abdul-Jabbar immediately gave his choice.

The magician chirped and said with a smile, "I guess it's the Nuggets."

Maybe more than that.

Only those who truly confront Su Wen understand the horror of Su Wen. What a terrifying existence it is.

"Haha." His words successfully amused Michael Cooper, who winked at him, "Then we have to be careful."

Because Su Wen has never done this before.

Without him, the Denver Nuggets not only failed to win the game, but suffered a disastrous defeat.

However, even though they had guessed the winning and losing probabilities of both sides, they were still shocked when the result of the game came out.

You know, that's the Western Conference Finals!

Not only fans across the United States are paying attention to this game, but they, the championship contenders, are also paying attention.

70+?

There is no guarantee that Su Wen will really do something to them that will make people and gods angry after losing.

"Uh." For some reason, the magician suddenly felt a little guilty when he said this.

The opponent was the Celtics, the league's best defensive team, who scored 70 points in a single game. They also scored 40, 50+ points in three or four games, and even scored 60+ points.

Perhaps it was because of the away game. In this game, the Nuggets were in extremely poor condition, as if they couldn't find the basket and had no touch.

Such a terrifying performance in the Western Conference Finals, let alone the regular season.

According to Cooper, it really could happen.

"Especially you, Moji, you will be taken care of by him immediately."

In the first half, Su Wen lost by 22 points without any performance.

In the second half, their touch still did not pick up. Instead, their opponents launched waves of fast-break counterattacks, which directly opened the point difference to 40 points. The final quarter became garbage time.

In the end, the Denver Nuggets were defeated by the SuperSonics by 85:124 and 39 points in a way that exceeded the expectations of countless people.

Their performance made it completely impossible to tell that this was a game between the second team in the league and the first team in the league. Their opponents kept chasing them throughout the game, and they were beaten into a crushing game.

This was despite Su Wen only scoring 20 points.

If Su Wen had been less polite and attacked more, their defeat might have been even more exaggerated.

When he saw Su Wen dishing out 20 assists even though he only scored 21 points, James Worthy looked at the Magician blankly, "Is this guy going to compete with you for the assist title?"

20 + 20

Even the Magic himself cannot achieve such super double-double data three times in a season, but Su Wen has already achieved such data twice.

Another time it was 30+20.

So far, Su Wen has almost reached double figures in assists in the first sixteen games. His average assists per game has reached 13.8, surpassing Magic's average of 12.9 assists per game.

The gap between the two is almost one!

That's why Worthy brought this up.

What’s even more frightening is that Su Wen not only ranks first in the league in assists per game, but also ranks first in points per game with 36.3 points, and ranks at the forefront with 3.3 blocks per game, only behind the Washington Bullets’ Manute. Bol, Utah Jazz's Mark Eaton, and Houston Rockets' Hakeem Olajuwon ranked fourth.

In the blocks rankings at this time, Bol averaged 5.0 per game;

Mark Eaton 4.8;

Olajuwon 3.4.

It is worth mentioning that when Bol got this kind of average per game data, he averaged only 26 minutes per game.

His efficiency in protecting the frame is not only very high, but also invincible.

Without him, it’s just because of his height of 231cm and the legendary wingspan of 259cm.

Regardless of whether this wingspan is real or not, his physical static talent is the best in the league.

Such monster-like physical hardware allows him to protect the frame on the defensive end like a duck in water.

He also contributed 15 blocks in two games.

If it weren't for being too tall and too thin, with a height of 2.30 meters and only less than 100 kilograms, and poor mobility, and his dynamic talents such as jumping and maneuverability are far inferior, there is no chance that he could become He. A super monster like Bunyama from the future.

Mark Eaton doesn't average much playing time per game. He averages nearly 30 blocks per game in only about 5 minutes, which is equally astonishing.

His physical talent is actually similar to that of Manute Bol. He is tall, long arms, static talent monster, and very poor dynamic talent.

But unlike Bol, his physique is much better than the latter. This is also the reason why Eaton is more able to stabilize his playing time and starting position, and is almost full attendance every season.

With him around, the Jazz always have a wall under the basket, making people afraid to act recklessly.

What about Bol?

His body is too thin and he can't stand at the basket, so he doesn't need to think too much about his starting position.

In other words, among Su Wen's five statistics, two currently rank first in the league, one ranks in the top five, and his average of 8.5 rebounds per game also ranks in the top fifteen.

Except for steals, he is on the list in almost every statistic.

"The assist king?"

Magicians actually don't care much about this small honor.

But seeing the SuperSonics crush the powerful Nuggets in this way, the good mood he originally had after leading the team to a 118:102 victory over the San Antonio Spurs tonight was gone.

This Sonics has been too stable.

Even though the Nuggets strengthened their defense in the second half, they were still able to maintain their lead through Su Wen's organization, playing steadily and step by step, finishing goal by goal.

Such supersonic speed is terrifying!

They not only have short-term explosive scoring ability, but also have stable full-court output.

With a stable lineup that has already won the championship, on this basis, three new powerful players Walton, Malone and Dumars have been added. In terms of lineup depth, it is not inferior to the Lakers and Celtics at all. people.

This was even before Su Wen showed up.

If Su Wen also performs this, no team can beat this SuperSonics.

difficult!

When Magic thinks about such a team standing in front of the Lakers and hindering the championship, he feels tremendous pressure in his heart.

People are blocking you from winning the championship, so is there any point in competing for a small honor like the assist king?

"Let's get ready."

After his team's game, Pat Riley, like his teammates, chose to watch the game in the physical therapy room.

He didn't care too much about the result of this game, and was more interested in observing the performance of both sides.

Because he found this gap, it's not that the Nuggets are no match for the SuperSonics because of how strong they are. It's that the latter's state is so bad that it's normal for the SuperSonics to win.

What he cares more about is that the SuperSonics showed something completely different from last season during the game.

Su Wen switched to an organizational position, and the teammate lineup also mixed the new generation. Malone and Dumars often replaced McCormick and Wood in the original starting positions.

With this kind of starting lineup where the main substitutes are mixed and alternate, the Sonics can still rely on Su Wen's organization to achieve extraordinary stability and strength. This is what worries him.

Although Su Wen seems to have become a magician, the SuperSonics' strength has also become a Laker.

It can be said that their overall strength is not inferior to the Lakers at all.

"Four days later, it's our turn to play them."

After saying that, Pat Riley waved his hands and left the physical therapy room with a heavy heart.

The rest of the team members, look at me and I look at you. When Su Wen was being interviewed by the reporters accompanying the team in the camera, they also left one after another.

It was up to the magician to turn off the television, ending the viewing of potential opponents.

After winning the Denver Nuggets and maintaining their dominance on the record list, the SuperSonics also ushered in a second battle with the Clippers.

The Clippers seemed to have played five games at the beginning of the season. After getting a 5:0 record, they never won again. The more they lost, the more they lost. The current record has reached 6 wins and 8 losses. The ranking fell again and again, completely falling out of the playoffs.

In this game, he faced the powerful defending champion away from home and still lost.

The SuperSonics established an absolute advantage in the first half, temporarily leading 76:43.

In the second half, the SuperSonics changed their lineup and replaced Malone and Dumars as starters to continue to allow the two rookies to gain game experience.

In the next 24 minutes, although the Sonics were not as aggressive as they were in the first half, they still maintained their lead until the end.

146:93

The SuperSonics had another hearty victory at their home court.

再次三节打卡下班的苏文，全场23投13中，三分7中3，罚球5中3，砍下32分12篮板20助攻8封盖的可怕准四双数据。

And his super triple-double data of 30+20+10 once again shocked the audience.

In this way, with this shocking data, Su Wen boarded a special plane to Los Angeles with the team to challenge the Los Angeles Lakers away from home.

The two teams, one currently ranked first in the league and the other currently ranked second in the league, ushered in the first encounter of the new season.

The battle between the defending champion and the wealthy Lakers is also a focus battle and very interesting to watch.

The result of this game may also determine who is number one in the league.

The Seattle SuperSonics are 16-1, first in the league;

The Los Angeles Lakers are 13 wins and 2 losses, second in the league;

The Boston Celtics are 12-2, third in the league;

The Denver Nuggets are 11-4, fourth in the league;

Looking at this record, as long as the SuperSonics lose, the gap between the top three teams will further narrow.

People also want to see if the battle between the two teams in the Western Conference Finals last season is happening again. Will the Lakers complete their revenge, or will the SuperSonics continue to maintain their dominance?

At the same time, between Su Wen and Magic, the two leaders in assists, who will get more assists?

Who can lead the team to better and smoother offensive coordination?

Who the hell is showtime?

Who the hell is running and gunning?
