Chapter 381 The Decisive Battle and Shoelaces Yes!
On May 29, 2007, at the press conference at the American West Arena in Phoenix, the Phoenix Suns, playing at home, were accepting pre-game interviews from the national media.
The rather small newsroom is packed to the brim with media from all over the world!
Although D'Antoni and the Suns' players are not a classic car team like Popovich and the Spurs.
But it can be considered a veteran team that has seen the world in the NBA.
But like now, it is really the first time to face so much media and attention.
They also had a fierce battle with the Rockets in the last round.
The attention is pretty good.
But compared to this series with the SuperSonics.
Regardless of the attention or intensity, their game against the Rockets cannot compare.
There is no need to compare the attention, just think about it and you will know that it is definitely not as good as it is.
Just talk about intensity.
After four games with the Rockets, they lead 3-1.
But what about the Sonics?
After four games, the score is 2-2!
It can be said that this series with the SuperSonics is the most difficult series they have played.
This really caught them off guard.
They played the Lakers in the first round and were 3-1 in the first four games.
This is the first time the Suns have felt the pressure of being eliminated since entering the playoffs!
In the fifth game against the Lakers and Rockets, even if we lose, we still lose.
But in this fifth game against the Sonics, if we lose, it won't just be as simple as losing a game.
They are really going to lose this series!
before this game starts.
Many experts and media believe that the outcome of this series will be decided in this game.
Whoever can win this game will be the team that advances to the finals.
Regarding the judgments of these expert media,
The entire Suns team is convinced.
"The SuperSonics are a very strong team, and Mr. Big is a very special opponent. No matter what the final outcome of this series is, our intention to learn from Mr. Big will not change."
"We believe that in this game, the great teacher will give everything he has to strive for a victory for the SuperSonics."
"The same goes for us."
"We will show the great teacher all the results we have learned in this competition!"
This is the statement of Nash, the head player of the Suns.
Still so humble.
Now the whole world no longer doubts whether the Suns team is playing Yes.
Because the previous four games have proven that they are really in awe of Yes!
Win or lose, no matter the results are good or bad, they never become arrogant and never give up their humble attitude.
This calmness and attitude are indeed respectable.
However, at the press conference before the end of the game, the Suns' attitude towards Yeas had not changed much.
But the calm look on his face was completely gone.
pressure!
They have already felt the tremendous pressure on them.
"This is a game you can't lose!"
"I believe everyone understands what this game means to us."
"We have come this far. If we take this step, we will reach our utopia!"
"I hope that you can take the great teacher's blessing and walk to our ideal country!"
"Raga, you are everything to us in this game!"
Laga Bell is one of the best 3D players in the league right now.
In the Suns, although he is only a role player, the treatment he enjoys is actually no different from that of a star player.
How can a player who can average 15 points per game with a 41% three-point shooting rate in the regular season and 11 points per game with a 44% shooting rate in the playoffs be just an ordinary role player.
But even so, Lagabel still felt how eagerly his teammates looked at him.
This duel with the great teacher will determine the fate of their team and their career!
"I won't let Teacher Da score more than 40 points in this game!"
Strong self-confidence!
In the home team locker room of America West Arena, the Suns saw Laga Bell's confidence!
Lagabelle was never a person who aimed for nothing.
Moreover, in the last game, the big teacher only scored 41 points with a low shooting rate under Laga Bell's defense.
Maybe that kind of shooting percentage and scoring are very good for Kobe McGrady and the others.
But that is a great teacher!
A superstar known for his scoring efficiency!
Laga has found a way to defend the Great Teacher!
"Laga, I hope what you are saying now can become another label and famous saying for you in the NBA!"
Another one of his NBA tags and quotes?
Lagabell nodded slightly.
Another of his labels and famous sayings is: Any player can score 40 points in 30 shots.
This is a famous quote created by Laga Bell when facing Kobe.
It can be said that although Laga Bell was not as great as Bowen in this year's playoffs.
But he did also perform at an NBA historical level defensively.
Even if you don't have to defeat the great teacher, as long as you can win against the Sonics, as long as you can enter the finals, as long as you can win the championship.
Laga Belle can become a god!
Not only Laga Bell, but Nash and many people from the Suns can be made gods!
A game that determines the fate of a career is definitely not just talk.
Nash clenched his fist tightly.
In order to win this game, he will give everything!
On May 29, 2007, at 10 o'clock in the evening, the American West Arena was already full of seats!
The noise produced by the fans at the scene was incredible.
"Yes! Yes! Yes!"
"PHO! PHO! PHO!"
In the NBA conference finals, it was a miracle that two voices could be heard so clearly in one arena.
Looking at Garnett, Pierce and Ray Allen from as far away as Boston, they all thought it was incredible.
Celtic are now promoted!
Easily defeated the Washington Wizards 4-0 and entered the finals!
This is also the first time in their careers that Garnett, Pierce and Ray Allen have entered the Finals.
Now, they are all looking forward to who their opponents will be in the finals.
For Garnett and Pierce, there is no doubt that they are looking forward to the Sonics.
Hitting the sun makes them really uncomfortable.
The Boston Celtics are good at everything, except that the point guard can't defend well and the center is too slow.
Playing a small lineup and not having enough manpower.
It can be said that the Suns were beaten to death in the regular season.
Stoudemire is not someone like Jamison, he is a strong man who can face Duncan and average 37 points per game!
Marion is also not comparable to Butler. Marion's offense and defense are so terrifying that even Pierce feels numb.
And what about Lagabell?
Although not as scary as Bowen, he is still one of the best perimeter defenders in the league.
It can be said that whether it is from the tactical system or the overall strength of the team, the Boston Celtics are not that easy to play against the Suns.
Supersonic speed is better.
Garnett and Pierce never thought that the Sonics could beat the Suns.
The strength gap between the two sides is too obvious.
But now, it's already 2 to 2, wouldn't it be nice to dream? !
What if?
But for Ray Allen, the mood now is a bit complicated.
Facing the Sonics in the Finals?
Seriously, it's a very strange feeling.
In all his years with the Sonics, he has never been close to the Finals.
If as soon as he leaves, Yes, whom he and Lewis replaced, leads those crooked melons and dates into the finals, how will he feel then?
You don’t need to think about how complicated and strange that feeling would be.
I really didn’t expect that you could lead this team to this point!
Looking at the familiar No. 9 figure on TV, Ray Allen can now understand why Seattle fans are so grateful to him and Lewis.
It’s not that their contributions to the Sonics over the years are inferior to Yes’s one year.
No need to calculate, they really can’t compare!
Ray Allen breathed out gently, letting out all the incomprehensible emotions in his heart.
"Incredible long-distance hit!"
"This is the second super-long three-pointer that Yes has made in the shooting practice before the game!"
"2 to 1! Yes overtook Nash again!"
Incredible two players!
Watching Nash and Yes competing for ultra-long-range three-pointers on TV, the Celtics' three giants all had incredible looks on their faces.
They can all be considered traditional players.
Pierce and Ray Allen are already considered players who can perform miracles among traditional players.
But compared to Yes Nash...
"He is changing an era!"
This is really not what the media praised. Garnett sighed. He really didn't expect that he and Duncan would one day develop three-pointers into regular weapons.
Of course, they haven't practiced it yet.
"Change an era and create an era. Yes is only one championship away from creating an era!"
The super long-range three-point competition between Yes and Nash on TV has ended. In the end, Yes defeated Nash 3-2.
The pre-match warm-up was over, and the players from both teams had already stood on the court under the signal of the referee Javi.
There is only one exception...
"Yes hasn't appeared yet!"
"Yes is still standing on the sidelines!"
"Yes, tie your shoes on the sidelines?!"
Seeing the player standing on the sidelines tying his shoelaces on TV, the Celtics' Big Three were stunned for a moment.
This picture is somewhat familiar!
"Every time Yes ties his shoelaces on the sidelines, it means the appearance of Yes in shoelaces!"
"If I remember correctly, this is the first time Yes has laced up their shoes in the playoffs!"
The Suns players who had already taken their positions on the court looked at Ye Si, who was tying his shoelaces on the sidelines, a little stunned.
In addition to the ball-free Yes, the strongest Yes, and the Rondo-style Yes, the most special shoelace Yes actually appeared!
"No matter what form the great teacher is in, I will not let him score 40 points in this game!"
Ragabel gritted her teeth.
"Yes, you have already tied your shoelaces!"
"Yes is on the stage!"
64…71…79…69…85…
85!
"locking!"
