Chapter 350: Desperate Maverick!

"Do you believe that hypersound can beat the Mavericks?"

"Believe!"

"Why?"

"Supersonic has a Yes!"

"Do you believe that the supersonic can beat the Mavericks twice?"

"I don't believe it!"

"Why?"

"Supersonic is only Yes!"

This is a very popular joke on the Internet before the start of the series between the SuperSonics and the Mavericks.

The creator of this joke is none other than supersonic fans and Yes fans.

When the regular season seat is confirmed, and the whole world feels that supersonic is about to be swept away, most supersonic fans also feel that supersonic is swept, which is a sure thing.

Some Yees fans and supersonic fans can't even bear to watch the live broadcast of the supersonic and Mavericks game because of this already doomed result.

On the Internet, in reality, most of the supersonic fans and Yess fans are deeply uneasy and apprehensive.

They can accept Yes's defeat.

But they hope that Yes can fail with dignity.

Win a game!

All it takes is one win!

Because he is Yes!

Yes This season's NBA regular season represents 'miracles'!

Yes last season's NCAA was a 'miracle'!

In last year's NCAA finals, the evaluation of Yes by public opinion in the United States was: Miracles shine!

If a miracle can't shine when it's needed, is it still a miracle?

They really don't ask for much.

As long as the superSonics win one game to prove that the miracle they support is still that miracle, it is enough!

This is also where this joke comes from.

This paragraph shows their good expectations for Yes.

At the same time, it also shows how humble the fans of the Mavericks and the SuperSonics are.

In the paragraph, I dare not expect that SuperSonics can win twice.

Supersonic fans have unrealistic expectations for Yes.

But at the same time, they don't want to put too much pressure on Ye Si because of their expectations.

They don't want to be blackened by their actions.

They can trumpet that Yes can win one, two, three, or even a series.

Loan Blowing Yes can beat the Mavericks, and they can do it easily.

They are outnumbered, and they are unrivaled in battle.

In the last game of the supersonic defeat of the Mavericks, they can even borrow and shout: Come out and see God!

But they didn't.

Don't dare to do that.

Mavericks are too powerful!

The coconut powder, which is so powerful enough to fight this season, does not dare to be too arrogant.

One is not careful, and that is to be liquidated!

It doesn't matter if they are liquidated, Yes is affected by them, and if they are liquidated, it will be really over.

They don't want Yes to become like the previous Chosen One, LeBron James, who 'has trouble on one side, and all sides like it'.

LeBron James is such a good player, because his fans have too many loans, isn't he being liquidated like crazy right now?

In this series with the Mavericks, Yes's fans and supersonic fans are very depressed about their emotions.

Low-key, low-key, low-key!

They dare not make enemies of this world.

Nor do they want to be the enemy of the whole world.

Because they know that Yes now doesn't have the ability to make them proud of the whole world!

That's for the future.

Now, they just hope that Yes can be eliminated from this series.

Therefore, in these two games, even the American Airlines Arena has a lot of coconut fans and supersonic fans.

Their cheers and slogans at the American Airlines arena were also restrained.

Sometimes, restraint is a deeper love for Yes!

But......

92 to 99!

Home team in front, away team in the back!

Mavericks in front, supersonic in the back!

The SuperSonics beat the Mavericks by one game!

SuperSonics beat the Mavericks by two!

The coconut fans in the American Airlines Arena can no longer restrain the surging feelings in their hearts at this time!

“Yes!”

“Yes! Yes! ”

“Yes! Yes! Yes! ”

From one to two, from two to three, until the thousands of coconut fans and supersonic fans at the American Airlines Arena shouted out all the humble, careful, and restrained ones that had been holding back for more than a week.

The entire American Airlines arena seems to have become a key arena in Seattle at this moment!

American Airlines Arena!

One of the highest attendance arenas in the United States!

Mavericks fans!

One of the craziest fans in the NBA!

At this moment, in the face of the madness of Yees and the supersonic fans, they are silent, they are powerless to fight back!

At this moment, the American Airlines Arena in Dallas was completely occupied by Yes and SuperSonics fans!

"Incredible!"

The American Airlines Arena in Dallas actually rang out with a crazy yes!

Kevin Durant's eyes were full of incredulity.

As a player at the University of Texas.

The Dallas Mavericks are half of his home team in the NBA.

He used to come to the American Airlines arena from time to time to watch games.

In the past, the American Airlines Arena, no matter whether it won or lost, it was impossible for the opposing fans to be so wild!

Durant looked not far away.

That's where Mavericks owner Mark Cuban is located.

The Mavericks owner is the NBA's most maverick owner.

His arrogance, his arrogance, his pride are synonymous with the calf now!

Mark Cuban is the soul of all Mavericks fans at American Airlines Arena!

Win or lose, no matter who the opponent is, even David Stern, he has never given in at the American Airlines Arena.

As long as Mark Cuban is around, the American Airlines Arena is a thorny land that can never be conquered!

But now, this once thorny land is covered with flowers!

And Mark Cuban, who guarded this land of thorns, had the same look on his face as the stunned Mavericks fans at the scene, looking like he was having a nightmare.

Mark Cuban's eyes look like he has seen a scene of the end of the world, and it makes people desperate!

Despair!

Now Mark Cuban's eyes are hopeless!

Recalling what Mark Cuban said in an interview before the start of the playoffs, Durant felt it extraordinarily.

"This series won't go to Game 5, I have a lot of respect for the SuperSonics, but the SuperSonics only have one player who can play the playoffs in the NBA, everyone else is a decoration, you can think of them as O'Neal's grandmother, I'm not disrespectful to Shaq's grandmother, but that's the truth!"

SuperSonics only have one player who can play in the NBA playoffs? :

The other supersonic players are O'Neal's grandmother?

Is this still the case in Mark Cuban's mind?

Durant doesn't know.

But he knows that Mark Cuban will definitely not have the arrogance he had at the start of the playoffs.

Not only is there no arrogance, but he should still be extremely weak now, right?

The first home game in the West was beaten by the eighth in the West in two consecutive cities on their home ground?!

At the moment when the whistle blew at the end of this game, whether it was Mark Cuban or Mavericks fans or Mavericks players or Mavericks head coaches, their reason for despair was because of that, right?

Black Eight?!

SuperSonics after beating the Mavericks in their last game.

Media and fans across the country are anticipating Yes and the Supersonic Black Eight Mavericks.

Expectation is expectation.

No one knows better than him how far expectations are from reality.

Once upon a time, he was expecting to complete his comeback against Oden in the NCAA Championship.

But in the end, Oden is still Oden, and his Kevin Durant is still just Kevin Durant.

In the hustle and bustle of the past, one is one, two or two, this expectation will not have any meaning, and if it can't be done, it can't be done.

But now, Yes has slowly turned this expectation into a reality?!

He never played in the NBA playoffs.

But even if he's never played in the NBA playoffs, he knows the difference between winning one game and winning two in a row in a best-of-seven game!

Win one, sometimes it's just one win, and Black Eight is just a gimmick.

Win two games in a row, and both are away, Black Eight is really online!

Black Eight!

Durant is holding back his current excitement and shock.

He peeked to the side.

The expression on Auden's face now was the same as his, the same excitement and shock!

Brewer, Noah, Conley, Horford, Green and other hot rookies also have such expressions!

At the end of the NBA regular season, the Memphis Grizzlies finally reversed the Bucks' record to grab the bottom spot.

The first-round pick that the SuperSonics acquired from the Bucks would turn into a 19.9 percent pick, an 18.8 percent overall pick, a 17.1 percent probe pick, a 31.9 percent fourth pick, and a 12.3 percent fifth pick.

So, after the NBA regular season slot, Oden has a 19.9% chance of entering the SuperSonics.

And he and the other hot rookies are competing for the remaining 18.8 percent.

Now come here to watch the hot rookies in this game, and they could be teammates with Yes every next season.

Watch your prospective teammates create such legends now.

It's a rather peculiar experience.

For their rookies in the class of 2007, being able to enter the supersonic is equivalent to the opportunity for Magic to enter the Lakers and Duncan to enter the Spurs!

It's really hard to find!

With or without Duncan and Magic's abilities, who wouldn't want the opportunity of Duncan and Magic?

If the supersonic can complete the miracle of the Black Eight this season.

With them on board, how powerful will the supersonics be next season?

A team with the strength of the Black Eight and Oden is the team that competes for the championship.

Plus the other hot rookies are the big teams.

They are looking forward to the Black Eight incident more than the fans in the United States!

The reason why they are here so neatly today.

They just want to see where they can go when they look forward to it!

They're curious to see how long Yes and SuperSonics can carry on with this expectation of theirs.

Is it that in just three days, this expectation and public opinion have disappeared?

If this game the Mavericks beat the Supersonics.

The supersonic Black Eight public opinion is probably gone like this.

But now, the Mavericks have lost again!

2 to 0!

Even if the Mavericks defeat the SuperSonics on the 27th and 29th and make the big score 2-2, the public opinion of the Black Eight will not disappear!

The victory of Yes and the SuperSonics made the Mavericks completely fall into the abyss of public opinion in this series, and it was difficult to extricate themselves!

Durant can imagine that from tomorrow, the Mavericks' public opinion environment will be even more tragic than it is now!

The big score of 2-0 has proved that the supersonic are capable of beating the Mavericks again, coupled with the increasingly tragic public opinion environment of the Mavericks.

After this game, the Mavericks are really dangerous!

"Who would be the one to be pampered by Lady Luck?!"

The Bucks lost the bottom spot, leaving the other hot rookies around Oden, each of them looking like a big boost.

Only Oden, now a mixed bag.

The teacher is so good, this is the joy.

It becomes difficult to become a teacher's teammate, which is worrying.

Nowitzki was 7-of-16 from the field for 20 points and 12 rebounds.

Josh Howard was 8-of-17 for 20 points and nine rebounds.

Jason Terry was 4-of-11 for 14 points and five assists.

Devin Harris was 4-of-11 from the field, with eight points and five assists.

Dampier was 1-of-4 from the field and had eight three-pointers and eight rebounds.

Yes, 12-of-19 shooting, 30 points, 8 rebounds, 12 assists, 2 steals and 1 block!

Milicic, 10-of-18, 28 points, 10 rebounds and 3 blocks!

Quentin Richardson was 6-of-11 from the field and 5-of-9 from three-point range for 19 points!

Rajon Rondo, 1-of-9, 5 points and 13 assists!

PJ Tucker, 3-of-7, 7 points, 4 rebounds and 6 fouls!

That's an incredible statistic!

Barkley, who had been yelling for an unknown amount of time, finally stopped his roar as he watched the technical statistics sent by his assistant.

Looking at the pile of numbers on the technical statistics, he didn't know how to describe his current mood.

No matter how die-hard supersonic fans are, they never thought that the supersonic could win two games in a row against the Mavericks!

After the last game between the Supersonic and the Mavericks, it was he who brought up the possibility of the Supersonic Black Eight.

The possibility he raised quickly became a public opinion that swept the United States and even the world.

But even if it's Black Eight, it's not such a black method!

Anyway, the Mavericks are also the first in the league!

How can the Suns, the first in the league between the Rockets and the Celtics be able to beat the Suns, how can they not have the power to resist at all in the face of difficulties?

The Mavericks are strong enough to fight back against the supersound.

In his expectation, the supersonics would lose this game!

The Mavericks will make adjustments in this game, and they will also make all-or-nothing bets!

With the strength of the Mavericks, plus they are the ones who make the change, and the blessing of the Mavericks fans on the scene.

Barkley really couldn't find any chance of the Mavericks losing.

After this game, the biggest possible big score is 1-1.

2 to 0?

Are you kidding!

In the first two games, 1-1, the supersonic Black Eight succeeded, and the most likely big score should be 4-3.

Barkley believes that the supersonic can be black-eight, but the black-eight analogy should be 4 to 3.

What now?

Two games are played, 2-0!

Nowitzki still couldn't do anything about Tucker.

Junior General Johnson also had nothing to do in the face of Nelson Sr.

Jason Terry and Devin Harris and the Mavericks' outside handler couldn't do anything against Yes's defense.

If the Mavericks' offense can still be expected after the first game, then after today's game, the Mavericks' offense is really completely useless!

The offense is useless, and the defense can't prevent the supersonic throwing system.

Pinch Yes, Yes's smash pass to Milicic left the Mavericks desperate.

In this game, the Mavericks were very resolute against Yes.

If the offensive problem cannot be solved, then the defensive problem will be solved, and the idea of the junior general Johnson is correct.

But you can't stand Dampier really can't stand Milicic!

Height, weight, speed, and bounce are all at a disadvantage.

Even the Mavericks' backup center, Diop, defended Milicic a little better.

Diop is slow, but he still has weight!

Even if you can't prevent Milicic's big back style of play, you can still get stuck a little bit of Milicic.

But it's useless to get a little stuck in Milicic.

If the Mavericks' offense is not problematic, they can still score more than 100 points or even 110 points in a game, and the Mavericks have the capital to let Yes score 30 points and Milicic score 28 points.

Therefore, the Mavericks, who have no problem with the offense, do not need to defend Yes and Milicic, as long as they can jam or limit it slightly.

But now, the Mavericks, who have problems with their offense, really can't afford Yes and Milicic to score 58 points together!

Don't flank Yes, Yes erupts.

Flanking Yes, Milicic erupts!

Such multiple-choice questions are desperate.

Barkley feels that the whole Mavericks team is desperate right now.

They really don't know what to do now.

Take a look at this crazy technical statistic, the supersonic starting five scored a total of 89 points, while the Mavericks' starting lineup only scored 65 points!

The difference between the starting lineups of the two sides is 24 points!

In this game, the Mavericks only lost by 7 points in the end, which was really thanks to the Mavericks' deep bench strength.

No matter how deep the bench strength is, there is still nothing to be done in the face of such a big hole dug by the starting lineup!

Now what else can the Mavericks do?

Listen to the sound of the American Airlines arena now being occupied by supersonic fans, and you will know that they are now desperate and have nothing to do.

At the end of the regular season, the Mavericks were considered one of the strongest teams in the NBA in the last decade.

The OK Lakers, who were so strong back then, didn't have the title of a perfect team.

This calf is called the perfect team!

"Now it seems that the perfect team is a joke!"

Barkley muttered quietly.

Players like Jordan, O'Neal and Yes, who are invincible in the NBA playoffs, are more useful than the so-called perfect team!

If the Mavericks had an invincible player, they would definitely not be as passive and desperate as they are now!

The Mavericks were blinded by the SuperSonics in their last game.

The game was beaten by the SuperSonics in despair.

The Mavericks used everything they could have at their disposal for this game.

But in the end, he still lost by 7 points.

In this game, the Mavericks even lost by 20 points!

If it weren't for Tucker, who had six fouls with five minutes left in the fourth quarter.

The Mavericks will lose by at least 15 points in this game!

There were so many adjustments in this game, and in the end it was even worse.

This blow is huge for anyone.

At the end of the game, Yes could clearly feel how desperate Nowitzki was standing next to him.

Nowitzki's stats in this game were actually good, with 20 points and 12 rebounds.

But what if a large part of this statistic was obtained when Tucker Six made a foul?

Nowitzki's impact on the game was nowhere near as pretty as his stats!

The SuperSonics used a single defense against him throughout the game.

He can't attract packs, he can't create opportunities for his teammates, and his back-to-back ability is generally not good enough to eat Tucker.

20 points is just 20 points.

However, Nowitzki played really hard in this game.

12 rebounds, six of which were offensive rebounds.

This would not have been possible in previous Mavericks games.

The Mavericks are willing to use Nowitzki's precious physical energy to grab rebounds in the frontcourt.

But in this game, in order to win, when the Mavericks and Nowitzki were powerless on the offensive end, they could only do things like this with Nowitzki.

It was his last stand.

And a blow to their despair!

But in the end, despair is still despair.

This team that ranked first in the West in the regular season has been completely cool!

If the first game is over, the supersonic players will still be nervous, and it will not be just an illusory dream to win the first game so easily.

After this game, they already know that this is not a dream, this is reality!

In the post-game press conference, the entire Mavericks team was absent.

The Mavericks' absence did not affect the atmosphere in the press room at the American Airlines Arena.

The Seattle SuperSonics were the absolute star of the game's post-game press conference!

When Yes took Rondo to the press room, the media from all over the United States and the world looked at Yes and Rondo with longing and incredulity.

Rondo was in his first post-match press conference this season.

It's incredible.

As a player who occupied the first season of the garbage list in the regular season.

Rondo had also thought about coming to the post-match press conference to fight the blacks.

But the SuperSonics didn't dare to let him appear in the post-game press conference.

Tongue battle group black?

Forget it.

To be honest, it makes more sense to train in the team to play iron than to fight against the group.

In today's game, apart from Yes, the best player for the SuperSonics was actually Milicic.

The best performer in the last game, apart from Yes, was Rondo.

But it was Milicic who came out with Yes in the last game.

Because the black spots in Rondo are too big and too many.

Not to mention that Rondo equaled the records of Stockton and the Magic.

Even if Rondo surpasses the records of Stockton and the Magic, the SuperSonics will not dare to let Rondo appear in front of the media until they are unsure of the attitude of the national media towards Rondo.

The possible consequences are too severe.

But the first game between the SuperSonics and the Mavericks was over.

The environment for supersonic players in media opinion has been reversed.

Among them, the biggest reversal is Rondo!

It can even be said how miserable Rondo was black at the beginning, and how high it is praised now.

This time he was allowed by the SuperSonics to follow Yes to the post-game press conference, and Rondo was very apprehensive.

Are these media playing tricks on the second master?

I didn't see the second master, but I bragged about the second master.

After luring the second master out of the hole, he attacked the second master frantically?

In the end, Rondo's worries proved unfounded.

He wasn't the protagonist at all in the post-match press conference.

There are a few questions for him, but most of them are Yes's.

"Yes, before the playoffs began, the Mavericks owner used to say that this series would not go to Game 5, and now that you're 2-0, do you have anything to say to Mark Cuban?"

Hearing this, Ye Si's eyebrows furrowed.

He knew that this was the troublesome media preparing to liquidate the calves.

After the first game, although the media put a lot of pressure on the Mavericks, it was not enough to liquidate the Mavericks.

It's 1 to 0 only.

What if I don't liquidate into a calf and get slapped in the face by a calf?

It's different now, in the NBA playoffs, 1-0 and 2-0 mean completely different things.

With Yes's knowledge of these media, the Mavericks will have a hard time in the future.

It's not just the despair of being made by the supersonic on the field, but also the despair of these uncrowned kings off the field.

"Isn't this series going to be Game 5? I think he's probably right. ”

After Ye Si said lightly, even the reporter from USA Today who raised this question was stunned for a moment.

The answer?!

After a short stunned moment, the reporters from all over the United States at the scene instantly became excited!

Yes is their favorite Yes!

It's still the same person who doesn't talk much.

What Kuban is right said.

Yes is very clear.

Is hypersonic this ready to sweep the Mavericks?!

A eighth in the West, ready to sweep the first place in the West in the playoffs?!

Is this a joke?!

If before this game starts, they will definitely think it's a joke.

Black Eight is already known as a myth and a miracle in the NBA.

Now there is still the eighth team in the West who wants to sweep the first team in the West to black eight!

Who would have dared to imagine this before?

But now, neither the reporter who asked the question nor the other reporters think Yes is joking.

Look at how serious the look on Yes's face is now.

Yes, this is serious, I think supersound can sweep the calf!

Eighth in the West swept first in the West, which seemed completely impossible.

But now, the eighth in the West has won two away games and the first in the West!

In other words, the probability of supersonic sweeping the Maverick is higher than the probability of eliminating the Maverick 4 to 1, 4 to 2, 4 to 3!

They asked this question just to get Yes to work with their black calf.

I really didn't expect Yes to open such a topic!

Just like in the last game, Barkley opened up the topic of Black Eight!

Sweep the Black Eight!

In the history of the NBA, Black Eight is not the first time.

But it's definitely the first time to sweep Black Eight!

Yes and hypersonic if they can really accomplish this feat......

These reporters on the scene can't imagine it!

By the end of the game, the world had seen the desperation of the Mavericks.

Fans, players, coaches, owners.

There was a sense of despair above and below the calf.

After the first game, the Mavericks were already in such a desperate mood.

It's just a little more intense.

Now it seems that the despair is not over!

Even now many reporters have observed a moment of silence for the Mavericks!

Last year's Finals were overturned 2-0 by the Heat.

In the first round of this year's playoffs, he was swept by the Black Eight!

If it really happens.

The Mavericks will be the most desperate team in NBA history!

Now that I think about it, it's really ironic.

In the final game of the regular season, the Mavericks played the SuperSonics to eighth in the West.

The whole world knows that the calf is hunting for hypersound.

At that time, supersonic was just a tasty prey to be targeted by calves.

But now, the prey has become a hunter.

The hunter becomes the prey!

Why couldn't the Maverick think about it at the time?

It can be said that the calf's current desperate situation is all caused by them.

Their current situation does not deserve any sympathy, but can provide them with material for the Black Calf!

"Yes, Mark Cuban once said that the SuperSonics have only one player capable of playing in the NBA playoffs, and the other players are O'Neal's grandmother, what do you think?"

O'Neill's granny?!

Rondo, who was still immersed in Yes's domineering words to sweep the calf, was particularly sensitive to this word.

The whole world knows that Tharajondo is another name for Grandma O'Neill!

The NBA now refers almost exclusively to O'Neal's grandmother to Ta Rajon Rondo.

Kuban Nyima!

I'm afraid you don't know how much your second master hates to have O'Neill's grandson!

How dare you slander the second master like this, and dare to let my grandson have so many grandmothers, you are embarrassing your second master!

What's more, you actually dare to juxtapose the second master with the garbage of the supersonic speed, don't you know that in the supersonic speed, the second master and Yes are all unique?

Even if the second master is O'Neill's grandmother, she is the only grandmother!

An indignant Rondo was ready to pick up the microphone and spray at Mark Cuban.

It's just that Rondo was just about to speak when Yes, who was sitting next to him, blocked his hand between him and the microphone.

"Mark Cuban is an idiot."

Mark Cuban is an idiot?

Rondo, who was about to squirt, was stunned.

The reporters in the audience were also stunned.

Yes, you're swearing?!

Yes actually scolded for the first time in the NBA for Rondo?!

Yes is the coldest player in the league, but he is ruthless, he never curses.

But now, he actually cursed for the first time for Rondo!

looked at Ye Si, who stood up and turned to leave the press conference.

Journalists across the country still haven't reacted.

And Rondo, after being stunned for a moment, followed out excitedly.

Reporters across the United States were so excited, excited and proud to see Rondo's back.

April 25, 2007, Seattle Key Arena, this is the third game of the series between the SuperSonics and Mavericks.

In the first two games, the SuperSonics returned to Seattle with a big score of 2-0.

Such a big score shook the whole of Seattle.

Ten hours before the game, the outside of the Key Arena was already surrounded by crazy Seattle fans.

An hour before the game, the Key Arena was already full.

Outside the Key Arena can no longer be described as a sea of people.

It looks like the whole city is out in action!

Even Bill Gates, the owner of the usually busy Seattle SuperSonics, took his whole family to sit on the sidelines with his father today.

In addition to the family of Bill Gates, the richest man in the world, there is also the family of Pioneer boss Paul Allen, and the family of Amazon boss Bezos, etc.

Bezos was definitely the most emotional of all the celebrities on the sidelines of this match.

He never dreamed that the cooperation with Yes would be so successful!

Black Eight!

Sweep the Black Eight!

In the past two days, the whole United States has been flooded with news that Yes is going to sweep the Mavericks.

Yes's Miracle Generation sneakers have reached another sales peak in the playoffs.

Even he is secretly preparing for the Miracle Generation to sweep the 'Black Eight Commemorative Section'!

Be sure to sweep!

Be sure to sweep!

This is a business of hundreds of millions!

After Ye Si shouted the words of sweeping the Maverick Black Eight.

Now public opinion in the United States has changed from looking forward to the Black Eight to looking forward to sweeping the Black Eight!

Such a change in public opinion in the United States has made the already desperate Maverick even more desperate.

Yes didn't mention the sweep, and they haven't noticed that they haven't won a single game so far!

No. 1 in the West, and now it's so difficult to win a game in No. 8 in the West!

Standing in the key arena, the palms of the little general Johnson were sweating.

He knows that many of the Mavericks' players are sweating in their palms right now.

There were even some Mavericks players who hid in the toilet in the locker room before the start of this game and cried with their heads in their arms.

Not a Mavericks player, really don't understand how much pressure the Mavericks are right now!

Now the Mavericks want to try to win this game.

But after the third quarter of the game, looking at the score of 89-66 on the court, the heart of the little general Johnson was desperate.

Crashed!

The calf is now completely broken!

118 to 90!

SuperSonics beat Mavericks by 28 points at home!

Sweep the Black Eight!

Johnson, the little general on the sidelines, the Mavericks player on the court, is now trembling with despair!
