Chapter 610: Sweep and Nash's Laughter!

In the NBA, trailing 3-0 is a desperate scoreline.

Even if the score was reversed by Yes and the SuperSonics just over a week ago.

This score is still a score that makes people tremble in despair.

"The most incredible series in history, the collapse of the strongest team in history!"

"The fastest collapse of the NBA, the biggest shame for the strongest defending champion in history!"

"The birth of a dynasty? The Birth of a King! ”

At his hotel in Seattle, D'Antoni's hands trembling with newspapers.

Even if he is already deliberately cutting off him and his team from outside public opinion.

However, it is impossible for public opinion to be completely isolated.

3-0 was a desperate one for him and his team.

And even more desperate, this is Seattle!

Even after the last game, he had banned his team from surfing the Internet, buying newspapers and watching TV, but in the hotel where he and his team lived, every newspaper would be sneaked into their rooms.

It's a fight!

In Seattle, such fights were not as brutal as in Utah, and he and his players could eat and drink with confidence.

However, it is really a mental torture.

Many of these newspapers had been filtered out by his assistant Gentry.

But as long as he lifted the quilt in his room, as long as he took out his shoes, it was still a pile of weapons that could not be guarded against.

D'Antoni can imagine that he is definitely not the only one in his squad who is being influenced.

His players, I'm afraid they are in exactly the same situation as he is now.

No, it could be worse and worse than his current condition.

Putting down the newspapers in his hand, D'Antoni's face was full of despair.

He never thought this series would make him and his team so desperate.

He never imagined that perhaps the most powerful player in the NBA would come to him and his team in such a situation.

"Alvin, we may not really have a future......"

Gentry listened to D'Antoni's desperate voice and sighed slightly.

Coming to the team in 2003, he grew up with the likes of D'Antoni and Nash.

He's seen how the Suns rose from a ruined team to get Nash and D'Antoni.

He's also seen how the Suns went from a team that had nowhere to break from the dead end and finally met the light and went to the top.

He is a witness to the splendor of the sun.

He could also be a witness to the sun's rays.

As D'Antoni's closest comrade-in-arms with the Suns, it's not the first time Gentry has seen D'Antoni so desperate.

When D'Antoni kept going out of the playoffs and was constantly questioned by media experts, he not only saw D'Antoni's despair, but also D'Antoni's confusion.

That kind of doubt about one's own beliefs and confusion about one's own future.

D'Antoni is much better now than D'Antoni was back then.

At that time, D'Antoni and the sun were really desperate and confused.

"Mike, maybe the players are stronger than we thought they we'd be, maybe we're not in a bad situation right now as we thought we'd be."

Gentry's voice is soft and deep, which gives a feeling of warmth.

D'Antoni has never considered himself a warm person, and D'Antoni has always known that there are many, many shortcomings in his human nature.

D'Antoni has always known that his assistants may be more popular in the team than he is.

Because no matter what time it is, he can always give people confidence with such a comforting gesture.

"Mike, together we have witnessed desperate moments that are even more desperate than we are now."

"At that time, we doubted our philosophy together, and now, it's just a failure, and the reason why we failed is not the failure of our basketball philosophy, and such a failure can allow us to stand up and continue to move forward, as long as our direction is not wrong, failure is just failure."

"Mike, don't forget, we beat the big teacher last season."

Gentry's eyes were quietly looking into D'Antoni's eyes as he spoke.

He didn't know what his words were of any use to this somewhat selfish, somewhat pretentious, and somewhat troubled manager.

He wants him to be as strong as the players under him.

After the team's last game loss, D'Antoni has been worried about the impact of the outside world on the team, so he has isolated all outside public opinion.

It's not so much that D'Antoni is afraid of the players being affected, but rather that he is worried about being affected.

With Gentry being on the team for so long, he knows very well who is the most vulnerable person in the whole team.

"Mike, in the next game, let's forget about the victory, forget the success, forget the glory, and let the players decide their own future."

Forget the victory, forget the defeat, and forget the glory......

Can you really forget all this?

D'Antoni's face was full of bitterness.

It's not that he's suffering from gains and losses, but ...... It's really hard.

But after falling behind 0-3, even if he doesn't want to forget, what can he do?

The dream of the strongest team in history, the best manager in history......

D'Antoni shook his head bitterly, everything was a dream after all.

As for letting the players decide their own future for the next game, does the team really have a future now?

Nash is now 34 years old!

It's an equally hopeless age, and if Nash were 10 years younger, he would certainly be willing to believe that such a failure would allow Nash to find a way forward in Yes.

But this one is 34-year-old Nash!

He couldn't find a direction in Yes, and even if he could, he wouldn't be able to move forward!

"Mike, our players, is really stronger than we thought we were."

D'Antoni, who had fallen into bitterness, woke up from his thoughts again.

Looking at D'Antoni like this, Gentry shook his head inwardly, and then looked at the suite on the other side, across the wall.

At this time, in this suite.

Nash, Stoudemire, Marion, Dior, Barbossa, Ragabel......

Except for the other two of the Sun's eight stars, all six of the other six stars appeared in Nash's room.

Chris Webb and Grant Hill are the ones who are already destined to part ways.

They came to the Sun for the champion.

When the Suns are now down 3-0, neither Nash nor any other Suns player thinks Hill and Webb are obligated to follow them in their search for the future.

They don't have any ill feelings about Chris Webber and Grant Hill's rejection, and they even feel that it should be like this.

"We need to start again now."

After the room was silent for I don't know how long, Nash finally spoke.

And hearing Nash's words, whether it was Marion or Stoudemire, everyone's faces seemed to be relaxed.

Sometimes losing isn't the scariest thing.

0-3 behind the SuperSonics, coupled with the content of the previous three games, especially the content of the third game, the Suns clearly know that their team does not have any chance of a miracle 0-3.

The Suns have their own Yes, Steve Nash.

But as Nash himself said, he's just a beggar's bankrupt version of Yes.

Nash doesn't have what it takes to pull off miracles.

Especially on the defensive end.

So, in this series, they have already accepted defeat at the end of the last game.

As the media is now reporting across the United States and around the world, they are finished.

The last team to be featured in the media across the U.S. and around the world was the Seattle SuperSonics more than half a month ago.

It's just that the Seattle SuperSonics have a Yes.

So even if they have been looked down upon by the whole world, they still absolutely fight back.

But that's Yes, there's only one Yes in this world.

Failing, losing, it's not that scary for those of them who have already won the championship.

And what really scares them absolutely is whether such defeats and losses will eventually turn into team disintegration.

The Sun is a great team!

That's the truest thought of every Suns player here.

They don't want such a team to fall apart because of this failure.

But Nash is 34 years old, does Nash still have the fighting spirit to keep going?

They're still young, but without Nash's guidance, where are they going to find another beggar bankrupt version of Yes to lead them?

Now they are of course happy to hear Nash say this.

"Steve, you still have a future, and we still have a future!"

After Stoudemire watched Nash say something with some excitement, everyone in the room smiled and nodded.

"Our future is not just about winning, it's about championships, it's about basketball!"

Nash spoke very seriously, and the others listened very seriously.

"I hope that the next game can see basketball farther away from the big teacher!"

May 13, 2008, Key Arena, Seattle.

This day is destined to be a day that can go down in the history of Seattle Key Arena.

A little over a week ago, the Key Arena witnessed the team stage a 0-3 comeback miracle here.

And now, the Key Arena is about to witness another miracle here.

A miracle that swept the defending champions!

"If the Suns lose this game, then the Suns will become the sixth defending champion in NBA history to be swept, and the last time the defending champion was swept back to the Houston Rockets in 1996."

"And the last team to sweep the championship was the Seattle SuperSonics!"

Speaking of the Seattle supersonic sweep of the Rockets in 1996, Barkley can be said to be frowning.

He's the enemy with Rocket.

Although he went to the Rockets to win the championship in his later years, that period of Rockets career can be said to be Barkley's most painful career.

It's all around you!

He went to the Rockets to hold the championship, but Nima's Olajuwon and Pippen have lost motivation for the championship.

In the end, Barkley, who ran to the Rockets, found that he was the only one on the team who was fighting for the championship, and everyone else was watching the show.

Lao Tzu is blind, so he will hand over the last glory of his career to you.

In the end, you have to be ridiculed by those guys who always like to talk about championships, such as Kenny Smith next to him.

Barkley was frowning when he talked about being swept in the 1996 championship, but Kenny Smith next to him was embarrassed.

Because he was one of the people who was swept by the rockets.

"Although there are championships that have been swept in NBA history, Charles, the defending champion may not continue to be a strong team in the second year, and the Phoenix Suns are different, they may be the only team with a record of more than 70 wins to be swept away."

Hearing Kenny Smith's quibble, Barkley snorted coldly.

The Suns are indeed miserable, with a record of 71 wins this year, and this year's regular season should have been a year for them to make history, but they ran into the Rockets with 73 wins in the regular season.

In the playoffs, I thought that after the Nuggets were eliminated, they would get a big gift package, but in the end, when I opened the gift package, I saw that there was a big bad wolf.

No kidding, if Yes is recognized as the unluckiest player this season, then the Suns are definitely the most unlucky team this season.

Barkley was a little silent for his old club.

Of course, the Suns need to lose this game to be the most unlucky team, and the game hasn't started yet.

But Barkley really can't find any reason why the Suns can win this game.

Well?

Just when Barkley was mourning for his old club, he was still in the crazy key arena just now.

"Amarstadmeier beat Milicic with a jump ball?!"

Seeing this scene, not to mention the Seattle fans at the scene, even many people in front of the TV were shocked.

"It's been a long time since I've seen Stoudemire jump this high."

Yao Ming in front of the TV was a little surprised.

He saw the shadow of the omnipotent little bully in Stoudemire's body just now.

"Huh? Nash is actively looking for Yes with the ball! ”

Nash took the initiative to find Xiaoyezi?

What surprised Yao Ming even more was that after the success of the jump ball, the Sun did not cover Nash and avoid Xiaoye as the whole team did in the previous three games.

Moreover, Yao Ming also saw on TV that Nash seemed to say something in front of Xiao Yezi, and Xiao Yezi finally nodded after showing a surprised expression on his face.

After seeing Xiao Yezi nodding, Nash had a smile on his face.

This picture made Yao Ming and his rocket teammates around him really quite surprised.

And after such a strange start, the next development of this game surprised them even more.

Looking at the big score at the end of the game on TV, everyone up and down the Rockets was shocked.

"This game is the worst game I've ever seen the Suns play this season!"

"The Nash of this game is the most selfish Nash I've ever seen!"

Listening to the whispers of his teammates around him, Yao Ming's eyes were always on the body of the Sun 13 on TV.

The Suns lost 93-112 to the SuperSonics on the road.

The defending champion Suns were swept by the supersonics.

But Nash, who was standing in front of Xiao Yezi, was sweating all over, but he had a smile on his face, and he smiled with great satisfaction......
