It¡¯s not that Ben Wallace¡¯s defense supports everything for the Sonics. On the contrary, Ben Wallace is not that support point.
Zhang Hao's scoring ability of 30+ per game, Cassel's personal offense and organizational offense of 18+9 per game, Artest's impact of 15+ points per game and the team's strength around Ben Wallace. Defensive adjustments, these are the foundation and what support the entire Sonics team.
Ben Wallace just took advantage of the favorable conditions, allowing the Sonics to always play extremely terrifying defense at a certain stage.
However, if there is no Ben Wallace, even if there are these foundations, they are just the foundation.
Due to the overall lineup, the SuperSonics rarely limits the opponent's score to less than 90 points, but no matter how fast the opponent is, no matter how ferocious the opponent's offense is, by the end of the game, the score will only be around 95 points!
Even if the Hornets and Warriors are two teams that are very good at scoring at the beginning of this season, they can't score more than 100 points against the Sonics.
During this period, Ben Wallace¡¯s performance was so dazzling!
As a pure defensive player, even Rodman and Mutombo have never been so dazzling.
The sense of presence is so strong that even Zhang Hao's edge is covered.
It¡¯s just that, after getting this ¡®useless prize¡¯, Ben Wallace felt very hot.
Have you seen the iron elbow falling from the sky?
Ben Wallace hasn¡¯t seen it either, but I¡¯m afraid!
The post-game analysis meeting went very smoothly. After all, we all won. Good feedback always outweighs negative feedback.
After the meeting, Zhang Hao and the coaching staff discussed how to adjust next.
Hornacek said: "Our framework seems to be correct, and then we need to do a good job in coaching the players."
Zhang Hao heard this and asked: "Don't we need to adjust our tactics? Our stability is a problem."
Paul Westphal said: "It is normal to have poor stability. It is strange that so many young players can stabilize so quickly."
Doug Collins said: "It's unstable. If you play more games, it will naturally become stable. If there are still no signs of stability after more games, trade the players so that we don't delay each other."
Scott Collins said: "Akers, in the seasons you played before, many things went too smoothly. You will always encounter situations like this. Your career will be long in the future, and you have to get used to your teammates not always being so good. It takes time to get used to teammates becoming better, so there is no need to rush.¡±

After returning to Seattle for a night¡¯s rest, on November 7th, the SuperSonics faced the challenge from last season¡¯s Western Conference Finals opponent, the Kings, at home.
"King, you are so unlucky"
"Who says it's not?"
Zhang Hao and Wang Zhizhi looked at Webb, Bibby, Bobby Jackson and Jim Jackson in suits on the bench of the Kings with mixed emotions.
Last season, the Kings renewed the contracts of all five starting players until at least 2006.
During the offseason, the Kings used an eight-man rotation of Weber, Wang Zhizhi, Bibby, Bobby Jackson, Doug Christie, Peja, Turkoglu, and Scott Pollard to complete the rotation with two full-time players. The mid-level contract poached the Raptors' 13th pick in the first round of 1998, Geion Clark, and signed Jim Jackson, one of the former Dallas 3Js, with a base salary of US$790,000 a year, which provided strong reinforcements both inside and outside. .
Zeon Clark had 11 points, 7 rebounds and 1.5 blocks last season, making him the Raptors' strongest substitute inside.
Jim Jackson played as a substitute for the Heat last season and averaged 10 points, 5 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game.
But at the beginning of the new season, after playing 4 games, Webb was injured in the second game, Bibby was injured in the third game, and Bobby Jackson and Jim Jackson collided in training after the third game. Injured together
With all four players needing to be out for at least two weeks, the Kings have not been going well from the start of the season.
Affected by injuries, the Kings started with 1 win and 3 losses, and are currently ranked 12th in the Western Conference.
No one thinks that the Kings' 1-3 start and 12th place in the Western Conference will be the Kings' final winning rate and record. However, the Kings were very healthy last season, and this season does not seem to go so well For Zhang Hao, playing against opponents like the Kings, The opponent is missing four main players, which is quite sad.
But from the perspective of the entire Sonics team, 4 of the 10 main players of their opponents are missing, which is a good thing in the running-in stage at the beginning of the season.
The Kings lost the second and third games because both Webber and Bibby were injured and left the game after more than one quarter of the game. Adelman made poor adjustments on the spot and lost in the end.
But when prepared, the king??Invested in a new arena.
Although it is impossible to directly increase the shares of the team, the SuperSonics' situation that the arena belongs to the team is different from the Lakers and Clippers.
Although the Lakers and Clippers both hold part of the Staples Center, if they want to sell the team, they cannot sell the arena together.
The Sonics are different. If the team is to be sold, the arena must be purchased together. For example, when Howard Schultz bought the Sonics, Key Arena had to be purchased together.
The Sonics and Jordan both want to be bound to each other. The former wants to take advantage of the latter's influence, and the latter wants to become the owner of a successful team and also wants to embrace Howard Schultz. Their thighs fit together instantly.
Jordan¡¯s curve offense increased the team¡¯s overall equity share.
¡°That¡¯s right, Jordan¡¯s acquisition of other scattered shares is not progressing smoothly, and those small shareholders are not stupid. If they want to sell, they don¡¯t want to sell now. The market value of the team will definitely increase.
The league has hired a new group of negotiators and is negotiating new broadcast agreements with major TV stations. In the summer of 2004, the temporary broadcast agreement from the 98-99 season to the 2003-04 season negotiated by Adam Silva during the lockout will be Finish.
Originally, Adam Silva was suspended, under investigation, went to court, and the verdict could not be handed down for a year and a half etc. After basically bidding farewell to professional sports, public opinion generally believed that the commercial aspect of the NBA would be greatly affected.
But the latest situation is that major TV stations are quite enthusiastic when negotiating new broadcast agreements, and sponsors have not stopped investing just because Adam Silva is missing.
At this time, people discovered a misunderstanding about this matter, a misunderstanding shared by NBA team owners and league officials - sponsors and TV stations gave more money because of Adam Silva.
On behalf of the NBA, Adam Silva signed a better broadcast agreement with broadcasters than before, and signed a better sponsorship contract with sponsors than before the last lockout. This is true, and it is also Adam Silva. The reason why he became famous in one battle and directly became the candidate for NBA president, surpassing Stu Jackson who had been following David Stern for more than ten years.
But the core reason that can facilitate these things is not how strong Adam Silva¡¯s negotiation skills are.
Adam Silva¡¯s ability to negotiate business must have played a certain role, but the most important thing is the exciting games and high ratings!
According to the latest news, the increase in broadcast fees from major TV stations is likely to increase by US$400 million on the previous basis, which is higher than the possible increase in the next broadcast contract revealed by Adam Silva when he was in office. Some!
This means that after the new broadcast agreement begins in 2004, in the 2005-06 season, the salary cap increase brought about by the new broadcast agreement alone will reach US$6 million.
People have discovered that as long as the ratings of the game continue to increase and the attention remains so high, and someone with a sharp tongue and thick skin can negotiate, new broadcast contracts, sponsorship fees, etc. will continue to increase.
Based on this situation, it would be difficult for Jordan to acquire shares of the Sonics in a short period of time, and he would have to spend more money in the future.
In addition to the increase in the market value of the team brought about by the increase in income, there are also dividends
The Sonics' net profit last season was higher than that of the Lakers, and it may be higher than that of the Knicks this season. The Sonics' income is still lower than that of the Knicks and Lakers, but the Sonics' salary expenses are small, especially this season. The salary cap is not even filled.
Each team in the NBA has a different way of distributing dividends. The SuperSonics' dividend distribution is pretty good in the entire league.
Howard Schultz doesn¡¯t care about the money, and he doesn¡¯t buy the team to make money, but that¡¯s not the case with other shareholders.
Visiting the White House, Jordan, who won FMVP at the age of 39, chatted and laughed with the US leader
The SuperSonics have started the new season with 8 consecutive victories and are in the spotlight.
At this start, the SuperSonics coaching staff and players did not expect that there would be several stumbling games, but in the end, Zhang Hao's offensive efforts and Ben Wallace's strong defensive support eventually won the game smoothly.
Coming to the White House is also a very happy thing. This is proof that they won the championship last season.
only¡¡
Amidst the peace, someone is acting like a monster again.
The leader congratulated Zhang Hao on leading the team to an 8-game winning streak.
Zhang Hao responded: "Thank you Mr. President, but our performance at the beginning of this year was actually not that good. The overall performance was average, but this year's opponents are quite weak. I hope they can work harder."
