A 26-point difference is not enough!

In the third quarter, the SuperSonics continued to play with all their main players, and Wang Hao did not stop scoring.

Anyway, they have made up their mind that as long as the Timberwolves refuse to admit defeat, they will keep widening the point difference.

The score difference of more than 20 points suddenly exceeded 30 points.

Timberwolves head coach Flip Saunders is also stubborn enough and refuses to surrender.

Then you're welcome to go supersonic.

It wasn't until the fourth quarter that the Timberwolves realized there was nothing they could do and took the initiative to replace the main lineup.

That is to say, Paul Westphal is very particular, otherwise, Wang Hao really intends to score points.

After all, in the past there was General Robinson who was scoring points to win the scoring title, and in the second there was Devin Booker who was mindlessly scoring points.

If he follows suit, what will happen?

121:80

The 41-point difference is the largest margin of victory for the Sonics this season and the largest margin of victory this season.

Although the Timberwolves were not nailed to the pillar of shame, they were almost beaten. After all, they were beaten badly.

The 121 points is also the Sonics' highest score in a single game this season.

It has to be said that the pace of today's NBA games is slow, and the scores are destined not to be too high.

No way, compared to the various offensive tactics and routines of later generations, today's NBA is more about core play, or star play.

Today, the tactic of most NBA coaches is to give the ball to the star and let the star complete the offense.

As for the others, they are part of the team that works with the stars.

However, it is precisely because of this that the NBA has given birth to batch after batch of superstars in this era.

In terms of popularity and influence alone, the stars of this era far surpass the stars of later generations.

No way, later on the stars played less and less in singles, and more of them were integrated into the team's offensive tactics.

Even Curry is considered a system player, let alone others.

Just like the Kings in this era, although they did not win the championship, they still had wonderful records in many seasons.

But how many people know about this team?

Maybe white chocolate is also included, but the problem is, white chocolate is the one that is least suitable for this team.

The topic is a bit far off topic. The result of this game was a disastrous defeat for the Timberwolves.

In the post-match press conference, Paul Westphal did not bring Wang Hao or Vin Baker.

Obviously, this was to protect the two of them.

The Sonics ushered in seven consecutive victories, but after seven consecutive victories, the winning streak came to an abrupt end.

Because they came to Salt Lake City.

In addition to the terrifying home atmosphere in Salt Lake City, the Jazz are also trying to get revenge.

Although the team's highest score was only Karl Malone's 21 points, six members of the Jazz team scored in double figures.

Facing the Jazz's scoring points that were blooming on all sides, the Sonics were powerless and could only attack against the Jazz.

However, with Karl Malone sitting inside, Vinbeck and Horace had almost no outstanding performance.

Wang Hao scored 20 points and 9 rebounds, and Gary Payton also had 18 points and 11 assists, but it was still a pity to lose.

By the way, I also want to say that he has always had a relationship with Hornacek. They are both pitchers, and the two can exchange their experiences.

No, when he was a guest at the Utah Jazz, Wang Hao finally got his wish and met Abby, who was still a little lolita.

I have to say that she is indeed a young and beautiful girl, and her looks have been very good since she was a child.

Moving on to the game, not only did they lose to the Jazz, they also suddenly suffered a losing streak.

Facing the Portland Trail Blazers, known as the NBA's prison team, the SuperSonics had no choice but to swallow the bitter fruit of two consecutive losses.

In this game, Wang Hao and Wen Baker both performed averagely.

Wang Hao was okay. He made 6 of 14 shots and scored 18 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists. His performance was barely up to standard.

As for Vin Baker, he only had 8 points and 8 rebounds, and his shooting percentage was less than 30%.

After two consecutive losses, the Nuggets provided timely warmth, which allowed them to stop their losing streak in time.

It even ushered in a three-game winning streak, but even against the Nuggets and the Grizzlies, it was a bit difficult to win.

The reason is that neither Wang Hao nor Wen Baker performed well.

Wang Hao's problem is simple, that is, with his outstanding performance in the season, more and more teams are beginning to pay attention to him.

Not just on the surface, but also on the team's tactics.

Especially on defense, he is the one who gets the most attention, even more than Gary Payton.

The simple reason is that Wang Hao's three-pointers are a huge bonus to the Sonics.

It can help Vin Baker and Gary Payton space the floor and fundamentally change the opponent's defense.

And once Wang Hao is strangled, Gary Payton and Vin Baker's offense will also be affected.

Wen Beike's sluggish state during the recent period has something to do with the fact that Wang Hao has received a lot of attention from his opponents.

Of course, it is definitely not possible to pass the blame to Wang Hao like this.

After all, before Wang Hao entered the NBA, Wen Baker was already an All-Star player.

Moreover, Wen Baker averaged 15.5 points and 7.2 rebounds per game this season, which is really not qualified.

Although there is a reason why Wang Hao shared the right to take action, Wang Hao also opened up space for the inside.

In addition to his poor performance on the field, there is something even more egregious. This guy actually started to be late and absent.

Except on the day of the game, I could often smell the smell of alcohol on him and almost ate the alcohol as food.

It can be seen that with the beginning of the season, under the strict requirements of the coaching staff and the team, Wenbeck has indeed been strict with himself for a period of time.

But as the season progressed, Wen Baker started to fall back into his old ways and couldn't control himself.

Wen Baker is in poor condition, and Wang Hao is being targeted, so Gary Payton can only fight for his life.

But even if he fights for his life, he can still face a weak force, but if he really wants to face a strong enemy, there is nothing he can do.

While defeating the Timberwolves again on the road, they lost to the Pacers on the road.

Moreover, the Sonics' road trip continues.

However, there is also good news, that is, while the Pacers game is over, the winter transfer period has finally arrived.

This makes the SuperSonics management a little excited, because they have convinced the boss to further strengthen the lineup.

In addition, if possible, they also plan to solve the big problem of Wen Baker.

There is no way, now Wen Baker's annual salary is as high as 9 million US dollars, but he has not produced data that is consistent with his worth.

This is a big problem for the Sonics, but it's also a big problem for other teams.

There is an even bigger trouble, that is, this is Vin Baker's second season with a big contract.

Even if this year is over, the team will still need to pay more than $70 million for Vinbeck in the next five years.

This kind of expenditure would make anyone feel distressed.

It's obviously not an easy task for the Sonics to successfully sell Vin Baker.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Wen Baker became more and more self-defeating and unwilling to play well.

Of course, this is not a problem with the team manager. After all, in the two seasons before signing the contract, Vinbeck averaged 20+10 points per game and became an All-Star.

If they really have such strength, US$70 million is definitely not a loss, and the Sonics can instantly become a strong team in the Western Conference.

If you really want to blame it, then blame it on the suspension of the season last year, which allowed Vin Baker to let himself go for a while and completely ruined himself.
