Chapter 381: The Decisive Battle and Shoelaces Yes!
On May 29, 2007, at the press conference at the West Arena in Phoenix, the Phoenix Suns were being interviewed by the national media before the game.
The newsroom is filled with media from all over the world!
D'Antoni and the Suns players aren't a classic car team like Popovich and the Spurs.
But in the NBA, it can be regarded as a veteran team that has seen the world.
But it is really the first time that I have faced so much media and attention like this.
In the last round, they fought fiercely with the rockets.
The attention is also not bad.
But compared to this series of supersonics.
Whether it is the attention or the intensity, they can't match the Rockets.
The attention doesn't need to be compared, just think about it, and you will definitely not be as good as it.
Let's just talk about the intensity.
After four games with the Rockets, they led 3-1.
But what about supersound?
After four games, the score is 2 to 2!
It can be said that this series with the SuperSonics is the hardest series they have played.
It really didn't take them by surprise.
In the first round against the Lakers, the first four games were also 3-1.
This is the first time since the Suns entered the playoffs that they felt the pressure of being eliminated!
Game 5 with the Lakers Rockets, even if you lose, you lose.
But in this fifth game with the SuperSonics, if you lose, it will be more than just a loss of one game.
They're really going to lose this series!
Before the start of this game.
Many experts and media believe that the outcome of this series will be decided in this match.
Whoever wins this game will be the team that advances to the finals.
For the judgment of these expert media, the whole Suns team is deeply convinced.
"The SuperSonics are a very strong team, and the big teacher is a very special opponent, no matter what the final victory or defeat of this round of the series is, our heart to learn from the big teacher will not change."
"We believe that in this game, the big teacher will give everything he has to fight for a victory for the supersonics."
"The same will be true of us."
"We're going to show the big teachers all the results we've learned!"
That's what Suns star Nash said.
It's still so humble.
Now the world no longer doubts whether the whole Suns team is playing Yes.
Because the previous four games have proven that they are really in awe of Yes!
Win or lose, whether the outcome is good or bad, they have never been arrogant and have never given up their humble attitude.
This kind of calmness, this kind of attitude, is indeed respectable.
However, in the press conference before the end of the game, the Suns' attitude towards Yes did not change.
But the calm look on his face is completely gone.
Pressure!
They were already feeling the tremendous pressure on their bodies.
"It's a game you can't lose!"
"I'm sure everybody understands what this game means to us."
"We have come this far, and when we take this step, we will reach our ideal country!"
"I hope that you can take the blessing of the great teacher and go to our ideal country!"
"Raja, you are all we have in this game!"
Ragabel is one of the best 3D players in the league right now.
At the Suns, although he is only a role player, he enjoys the same treatment as a star player.
How can a player who can contribute 15 points per game with 41% three-point shooting in the regular season and 11 points per game with 44% shooting in the playoffs be just an ordinary role player.
But even so, Ragabel felt how eager his teammates looked at him.
This duel with the big teacher will determine the fate of their team and their careers!
"I'm not going to let the big teacher get more than 40 points in this game!"
Strong self-confidence!
In the home team locker room at the West Jersey Arena, the Suns saw Ragabel's confidence!
Rajabel was never a man without purpose.
Moreover, in the last game, the big teacher only scored 41 points with a low shooting rate under the defense of Ragabel.
Maybe that kind of shooting percentage and scoring is good for Kobe Maddy.
But that's a big teacher!
A superstar known for his scoring efficiency!
Raga has found a way to defend against the Great Teacher!
"Raja, I hope that this sentence you are saying now can become another label and quote for you in the NBA!"
Another label and quote he has in the NBA?
Rajabel nodded slightly.
Another of his labels and quotes is that any player can score 40 points on 30 shots.
This is a quote coined by Ragabel when facing Kobe.
It's fair to say that Ragabel wasn't as great as Bowen in this year's playoffs.
But he did put up a game-stopping defensive performance in NBA history.
Even if you don't have to beat the big teacher, as long as you can win the supersound, as long as you can enter the finals, as long as you can win the championship.
Ragabel can be a god!
Not only Rajabel, but also Nash and many people from the sun can be gods!
A game that will decide the fate of your career, it's definitely not just talk.
Nash clenched his fists tightly.
He can give everything for the victory of this game!
On May 29, 2007, at 10 o'clock in the evening, the West Jersey Arena was already full!
The loud noise created by the fans at the scene was incredible.
“Yes! Yes! Yes! ”
“ PHO! PHO! PHO! ”
In the NBA Divisional Finals, it is a miracle that two voices rang out in one arena so distinctly.
Looking far away in Boston, Garnett, Pierce and Ray Allen both found it incredible.
Celtic have now qualified!
Easily defeated the Washington Wizards 4-0 to enter the Finals!
It was also the first time that Garnett, Pierce and Ray Allen had reached the Finals for the first time in their careers.
Now, they're all looking forward to seeing who they're up against in the Grand Final.
For Garnett and Pierce, what they are undoubtedly looking forward to is supersonics.
Hit the sun, they are really uncomfortable.
The Boston Celtics are good at everything, except that the point guard defense is not good, and the center is too slow.
Playing a small lineup and not having enough manpower.
It can be said that it was killed by the Suns in the regular season.
Stoudemire is not a commodity like Jamison, he is a fierce man who can face Duncan's average of 37 points per game!
Marion is also not comparable to Butler, and Marion's offense and defense are so terrifying that even Pierce feels his scalp tingle.
And what about Ragabel?
While not as scary as Bowen, it's also one of the league's best outside defenders.
It can be said that whether it is from the tactical system or the overall strength of the team, the Boston Celtics are not so easy to play against the Suns.
It's better to be supersonic.
Neither Garnett nor Pierce had ever thought that supersound could beat the Suns before.
The difference in strength between the two sides is too obvious.
But now, it's 2-2, isn't it good to dream?!
What if?
It's just that for Ray Allen, the mood is a little complicated now.
Face the SuperSonics in the Finals?
Seriously, it's a very strange feeling.
He has been in the supersonic for so many years and has never been close to the finals.
What would it be like if yes, who he and Lewis traded for, made it to the finals with those crooked melons and cracked dates as soon as he left?
You don't have to think about it to know how complicated and strange it can be.
I really didn't expect you to be able to take this team to such a point!
Looking at the familiar figure of the number nine on TV, Ray Allen can now understand why Seattle fans are so grateful to him and Lewis.
It's not that their contribution to the supersonic years is not as good as the year of Yes.
Don't count, they really can't compare!
Lei Allen exhaled softly, exhaling all the incomprehensible emotions in his heart.
"Incredible long-range hits!"
"This is Yes's second ultra-long-range three-pointer in the pre-game shooting practice!"
"2 to 1! Yes overtook Nash again! ”
Incredible two players!
Looking at Nash and Yes, who were competing for ultra-long-distance three-pointers on TV, the faces of the Celtics' big three showed incredible looks.
They are all players with a traditional style of play.
Pierce and Ray Allen are already some of the miracle performers in the traditional style of play.
But compared to Yes Nash......
"He's changing an era!"
This is really not those media touts, Garnett sighed, he really didn't expect that he and Duncan would also practice three-point shooting into conventional weapons one day.
Of course, none of them have practiced yet.
"Change an era, create an era, Yes is only one champion away from creating an era!"
The long-range three-point contest between Yes and Nash on TV was over, and Yes defeated Nash 3-2.
At the end of the warm-up before the game, the players of both teams had already stood on the field at the signal of the referee on duty, Javi.
There is only one exception......
"Yes hasn't come out yet!"
"Yes is still standing on the sidelines!"
"Yes tie your shoes on the sidelines?!"
Seeing the player on TV standing on the sideline to tie his shoes, the Celtic triumvirate was stunned for a moment.
This picture is somewhat familiar!
"Every time Yes ties his shoes on the sidelines, it means that the laces are Yes!"
"If I'm not mistaken, this is the first time Yes has tied her shoes in the playoffs!"
The Suns players who were already in position on the court looked at Ye Si who was tying his shoes on the sidelines, and was a little stunned.
In addition to the ballless Yes, the strongest Yes, and the Rondo-style Yes, the most special shoelaces Yes actually appeared!
"No matter what form of big teacher, I won't let him score 40 points in this game!"
Rajabel gritted her teeth.
"Yes have already tied their shoes!"
"Yes is on!"
64…… 71…… 79…… 69…… 85……
85!
"Locked!"
