Chapter 914
His ball-handling and organizational skills are not necessarily better than mine either.
What right does he have to mock Mr. Su Yan?
He really can put on an act.
Next time I run into him, I will definitely teach him a good lesson and let him know that one must have a heart of reverence when dealing with Mr. Su Yan."
"Hahaha!"
Su Yan laughed out loud, then nodded, "If you can, I'll leave this matter to you."
"No problem, leave it to me."
Deron patted his chest, looking confident.
Su Yan felt a sense of amusement.
Eat, sleep, and beat Paul—this is a saying that will circulate among people in the future.
If such a saying, because of his words, causes the origin of the feud between Deron and Paul to be established from the moment they step into the league.
That seems interesting too.
Will the seriousness between the two become even more intense?
Not sure.
But it is definitely something to look forward to.
The Bulls defeated the Timberwolves, securing a 9-game winning streak for the season; two days later, they will welcome the second strong enemy among the Seven Kings: the Phoenix Suns.
This matchup hasn't even started yet, and the hype is already extremely high.
And during the Bulls' nine-game winning streak.
The Suns' performance has also been quite impressive, with six wins and three losses and a shooting percentage as high as 66.7%.
The three games they lost.
One was to the Mavericks, one to the Heat, and another to the Hawks.
Losing to the Mavericks brought the season series between the two teams to a 1:1 tie.
Losing to the Heat was because... the combination of Wei De + Bosh + O'Neal displayed a dominance that was too overbearing.
Especially in clutch situations.
Wei De can attack aggressively and possesses excellent hard-solution ability, Bosh can space the floor, and O'Neal guards the rim in the paint.
Getting the ball is equivalent to giving it away for free.
This lineup is very difficult to crack.
The Suns lost.
And after watching this game, fans also feel that there is a slight gap among the Seven Kings.
At least for the moment.
The combat power displayed by the Heat on the court is a bit stronger than that of the Suns.
If everyone performs normally.
The probability of the Heat winning is slightly higher, but that doesn't mean the Suns will definitely lose.
Everyone is a strong team.
Losing to the Hawks was just a normal loss due to poor form and has no reference value.
This does not hinder the matchup between the Bulls and the Suns... which is full of anticipation.
The Heat, Spurs, 76ers, Pistons, and other teams also have very obvious characteristics in their first 10 games of the new season.
What?!
The matchups among the Seven Kings are all very intense, while they basically occupy the initiative on the court when facing other opponents.
The probability of winning is higher.
Now, the only thing left unknown is what kind of battle situation will occur when facing the Bulls, who possess the "Flame Emperor" Su Yan?
Evenly matched, suppressed, or suppressing the Bulls?!
The last result is something no one dares to imagine, especially after seeing the Bulls' 9-game winning streak.
The season has already been played for nearly 10 games.
How is the situation in the East and West?
Let's talk about the West first.
First place, Spurs: 8 wins, 2 losses.
Second place, Mavericks: 7 wins, 3 losses.
Third place, Suns: 6 wins, 3 losses; if they can defeat the Bulls in the next game, their record will also be 7 wins and 3 losses, tied for second in the West.
There are only these three teams in the West with a winning percentage as high as over 65%.
The rest are all around 50%; being able to reach 60% is already a very impressive existence.
On the East side.
1st place, Bulls: 9 wins, 0 losses, undefeated.
2nd place, Heat: 9 wins, 1 loss, a quite terrifying record.
3rd place, 76ers: 9 wins, 2 losses, also a quite exaggerated record.
4th place, Celtics: 7 wins, 3 losses.
5th place, Pistons: 7 wins, 3 losses.
There are as many as five teams in the East with a winning percentage as high as over 70%, which also means that the remaining teams are basically in a state of just tagging along.
The dry are dying of drought, and the flooded are dying of flood.
It is exactly as the experts predicted before the new season arrived.
The strength of the teams in the new season will show extreme polarization; some teams are very strong, and some are very weak.
Looking at it now, the so-called strong teams are the Seven Kings and one Emperor, and the others are all called weak teams.
Those tagging along are naturally unhappy and are gradually losing the fighting spirit to play well.
However.
The strong teams also possess extremely high popularity, and for some, it is even the season with the highest popularity in team history.
For example: the Philadelphia 76ers.
At their most popular, even the "Basketball Emperor" Chamberlain from the ancient era might not have been as popular as Iverson in '01.
However.
When the three major shooting guards gather together.
The popularity and attention that can erupt instantly break through the peak, reaching a brand new height that one can only look up to!!! ===== CHAPTER 916 =====
