Chapter 257: Twin Stars
Supersonics vs. Kings.
A three-point shootout between two three-point brigades.
On the Supersonics' side, Ray Allen + Lewis + Radmanović form the "Three Musketeers"; every one of them loves the three-pointer, and every one of them excels at it.
On the Kings' side, Peja, Mike Bibby, and reserve Bobby Jackson all possess long-range shooting and all have the three-pointer.
The key.
The Kings are a Western powerhouse with steady three-point shooting.
The Supersonics have been in good form recently, and Lewis was even named Western Conference Player of the Week.
So, once these two teams start a shooting duel, it is bound to be a rhythm of three-pointers like rain, or even... a torrential downpour.
So, how will it actually go?!
Truly three-pointers like rain, truly a violent storm.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Those three-pointers, one beautiful arc after another, the sound of the basketball piercing the net, that wonderful swish sound—it makes the fans shout in ecstasy!
This era is still about physical combat.
The three-pointer is not the mainstream.
Therefore... watching a three-point shootout battle occasionally makes fans feel as if they are at the scene of a "Three-Point Contest."
The watchability is maxed out.
Purely in terms of three-point firepower, the Supersonics are not afraid of the Kings at all.
However.
In terms of defense, the Supersonics are quite a bit worse, and furthermore... on the bench end, the Kings are also much stronger than the Supersonics.
In the end.
The Kings have the last laugh.
But this hearty, pleasing-to-the-eye three-point battle makes the fans unable to help but applaud and cheer for both teams.
After the game.
At the commentary desk.
"COME! ON!"
Al Albert exclaims: "This game tonight was so spectacular. To be able to hit so many three-pointers under high-intensity defense.
Really.
Both teams deserve the title of 'Three-Point Brigade.'
This also shows that both teams have been in quite good form recently.
It is worth mentioning that the Bulls' next two games are against: the Supersonics and the Kings; they will face these two three-point brigades.
I don't know.
If the Bulls can withstand their successive three-point rains!"
"Ha..."
Doug Collins laughs, "I don't know if the Bulls can withstand it, but these two matchups will definitely be spectacular.
Definitely extremely good to watch.
Let us look forward to it together!!!"
One day later.
United Center.
8:00 PM.
The duel between the Bulls and the Supersonics is half an hour away.
Both teams are actively warming up on the court.
"Swish!"
"Swish, swish, swish!"
When Ray Allen, Lewis, and Radmanović warm up, each three-pointer makes the Bulls fans feel a hint of pressure.
It also makes Coach Skiles' eyes flash with a hint of gravity.
"Don't look at the Supersonics' record as average; they are in really good form recently. If the 'Three Musketeers' all get their touch going, they won't be easy to deal with."
Skiles frowns slightly, pondering ways to respond.
At the commentary desk.
"Ahem..."
Barkley clears his throat and begins: "Kenny, do you know how spectacular the Supersonics' last three-point shootout with the Kings was?"
"How spectacular was it?!"
Kenny Smith asks, very cooperatively.
"Ha..."
Barkley laughs, then continues: "Last game, although the Supersonics lost the game, the 'Three Musketeers' and the whole team combined to hit a full 24 three-pointers.
Breaking the team's single-game three-point record.
And the Kings also had 20 three-pointers, which is also an astonishing number of three-pointers.
The two teams combined for 44 three-pointers; this is simply terrifying!!!"
"Hiss..."
Kenny Smith gasps several times, excited: "Then that last game must have been spectacular to the extreme, and must have made the fans watch with boiling blood."
"Yes."
Barkley nods and laughs: "The confrontation of muscle against muscle is stimulating enough to make people's emotions run high and their hearts surge.
However.
The sound of the beautiful swish is also a kind of enjoyment, and it can also max out the watchability, making fans shout in ecstasy.
The Supersonics' 'Three Musketeers' have been hot-handed recently. ===== CHAPTER 259 =====
