"Cousin! Cousin! Cousin! Cousin!! ”

The Sleep Train, the final race of the season, is coming to an end.

Almost all the fans in the stadium stood up, except for a very small number of fans who came here from nowhere, wearing Chen Mu or Curry's jerseys, and cheering for Philadelphia, the rest of them were shouting Gu Yu's nickname.

A pair of arms waved in the air, forming a spectacular sea of human waves. Different from the crowds in other stadiums, the fans here also seemed to be infected by Gu Yu's arrogant aura emanating from the depths of their hearts, and everyone's hands were not palm gestures, but fists one by one.

"Cousin! Cousin! Cousin! Cousin!!! ”

The cheers were so uniform that they were deafening, and the Philadelphia bench, from the players to the coaches to the uniforms, all looked down at the floor, not even daring to make eye contact with the fans here.

What a wonderful scene, once upon a time, the King's Arco Arena was also one of the devil's home stadiums, but Sacramento fans have never been known for their fanaticism and arrogance.

The fans here were once forbearant and restrained. Compared to places like Detroit and Indiana, the fans here are more "gentlemen", even if the team is leading by a large margin, they will not make such an exaggerated celebration, but sit in their seats and cheer a few times, and applaud it.

Now, however, everything has changed.

was completely changed by a man who came across the ocean and combed his hair meticulously on his back!

"Bang bang!"

In the final minute and a half, the Kings led by 16 points, and it was not far from Philadelphia giving up the game.

At this time, the demon named Gu Yu still didn't have the slightest intention of showing mercy to his subordinates. After receiving George's outside pass, Gu Yu turned around and dribbled back, and the moment of pause at his feet attracted the double bag of Butler and Iguodala, and then pushed the ball forward with one hand, crossed sideways, and completed the man-ball in the human gap.

Shooting with his hands open, Gu Yu's shooting posture that stopped in an instant was perfect and made people almost cry, the basketball left his fingertips, walked out of a gorgeous parabola, and rushed all the way to the basket with the expectant eyes of the audience.

“…… Swish! ”

Network!

"Wow——!!!"

Gu Yu's crazy performance continued, and in the cheers of the audience, Gu Yu clenched his fist with his right hand and roared angrily in the sky.

"Cousin! Cousin! Cousin! Cousin!!!! ”

Instead of the shouts of MVPs in most stadiums, in the eyes of Sacramento fans, Gu Yu is no longer just MVP, he is simply everyone's big cousin, and no one dares to disagree!

"This fist is not only a celebration of the Sacramento Kings' near-glory, but also a general reckoning with the injustices and grievances the Kings have suffered over the years!"

On the side of the commentary stage, Smith couldn't help but think of the years that the Kings have gone through over the years, and sighed with emotion: "Finally, today's Sacramento Kings are once again standing in the closest place to the top of the world." In another minute and a half, if the king wins, history could be rewritten!! ”

On the sidelines, Rick Carlisle smiled self-deprecatingly, shook his head slightly, and stood up.

"Referee." Walking to the technical table, Carlisle smiled bitterly at the mid-line referee: "Labor timeout." ”

"Beep beep !! Philadelphia 76ers, request timeout!! ”

“YEAAAAAAAH——！！！”

Everyone knew what this pause meant, and cheers erupted.

"Thank you, ...... everyone"

Beckoning the players off the pitch, Carlisle reached out and gently patted each player on the shoulder, whispering.

The sixth game is coming to an end.

The series was inevitably dragged into a tie-break, and the two sides returned to the same running line again.

"You may not have realized one thing yet!"

On the side of the commentary stage, Barkley suddenly spoke, as if he had discovered some incredible secret, and said excitedly: "Not to mention who wins and who loses in the end, but this is the first time since 2010 that the Philadelphia 76ers have been dragged into the seven-game game in the finals!" ”

That's right!

Ba Fatzi's words woke up many people.

In 2010, when Chen Mu led the team to the finals for the first time, he faced the powerful three-high-tech Bryant Lakers, and experienced a terrifying seven-tie battle.

The darkness of that year, the blades of that year, and the red bayonets of that year, still remain in the memories of many fans.

But since then, the Philadelphia 76ers have gone through the baptism of the Lakers, and suddenly, Philadelphia has become the most dominant horror dynasty in history.

The Mavericks in 2011 failed to take them out, the Thunder in 2012 failed to take them out, and the Spurs in 2013 failed to take them out.

No, to be more precise, these teams don't even pose a threat to Philadelphia!

"That's true." Smith nodded: "In the past few years, the Philadelphia 76ers have won so easily, so easily that it makes people feel that their domination of the NBA will probably continue forever and forever, and will never stop again." The point is that they were not challenged in the slightest from start to finish, and anyone who watched the game would feel that Philadelphia was more than one level higher than their opponents. No matter how fierce the regular season and the previous playoffs were, when it comes to the Finals, it's a one-man show for the Philadelphia 76ers! ”

"Who was the last team to dominate a sport at this level? Barcelona? Barkley asked.

"Don't show off your poor football knowledge......" Smith rolled his eyes: "The key is still the Philadelphia 76ers, Philadelphia's dominance in the Finals is so outstanding, no one would think that their opponents can beat them and win the championship." What a terrible thing this is?? ”

How terrible a thing is, at the moment of the event, I am afraid that not many people will really perceive it.

But it was only when something important began to change that people realized:

It turns out that the Philadelphia 76ers are so strong.

It turns out that we are all witnesses to one of the strongest teams in history!

"Okay, the timeout is over, the two sides are substitutions!" On the other side, Yoga looked at the court and said: "Philadelphia has changed to a full bench lineup, and the Kings have also politely changed to a bench lineup, if nothing else, the outcome of this game has been decided!" ”

Finally......!

"Cousin! Cousin! Cousin! Cousin!!! ”

In the enthusiastic cheers of the audience, Gu Yu returned to the sidelines, opened his hands, and bowed deeply to the fans.

The sweat on his forehead dripped on the court, and Gu Yu couldn't stop panting, but in his heart, he could only feel the supreme glory.

"I hope today's performance can give you a good night's sleep! Hahaha!! ”

On the side, Wei Shao was also excited, and shouted at the fans, causing the fans to laugh.

Although they can't let their guard down yet, although they return to Philadelphia in the last game, the 76ers will definitely give 200 percent of their attention to deal with the Kings.

But right now, it's time for Sacramento fans to party.

"It's been a great job, it's been a hard job! It's a good fight!! ”

On the bench, O'Neill Jr. and Granger looked at each other, got up together, and as a meritorious veteran, he actually took the initiative to hand Gu Yu a towel and a drink.

"Eh, don't be so polite to the two old ministers! Otherwise, people will think I'm a faint king who is so happy, hahahaha! ”

Gu Yu said lively, but there was no feeling of embarrassment in his hands, he reached out to take it while wiping his sweat, and drank a big drink.

"Cousin, let me ask you something."

After Gu Yu sat down, and the cheers in the stadium were a little more subdued, which would not affect the communication between them, little O'Neill sat down next to Gu Yu and said, "It's pure curiosity, I just want to ask, what is the purpose of your play on the court?" ”

As soon as the question was asked, O'Neill Jr. also felt that he was really stupid enough.

Purpose?

When a professional player comes on the field, the purpose is, of course, to find a way to win!

Although there are also some players who are in a hurry to clock out and leave work, or are in a hurry to brush the data......

However, little O'Neill really can't think of any other way to ask this question, so he can ask it more clearly.

Phil Jackson's words have always echoed in the minds of O'Neal Jr. and Granger, and the more they think about it, the more they feel that their knowledge of basketball seems to be far from being in place.

For many years, players and fans, coaches and the media have made all kinds of demands on players.

Among them, the most notable ones are "Player A must improve his jump shooting percentage", "Player B's defense needs to be improved", "Player C needs to work hard physically", etc.

There is nothing wrong with these requirements in themselves, everyone is helping the players to improve themselves, put forward the shortcomings of the players, and strengthen them in a targeted manner, which is the best way to cultivate.

However, after watching Gu Yu's game, and comparing the difference between Chen Mu and Gu Yu, the two veterans vaguely felt that this idea of asking a player to "improve his technique and body as much as possible" seemed to be the "perfectionism" that Phil Jackson said, which was not desirable.

Chen Mu thinks so, LeBron thinks so, Wei Shao thinks so, including O'Neal Jr. and Granger themselves also think so.

They are too focused on making themselves an imaginary "perfect player", but they don't know that a truly perfect player is a false proposition in itself.

And Phil Jackson also said that Gu Yu's cognition of this issue is several levels higher than most players.

So Gu Yu, what are you thinking about in normal times?

"Purpose?"

Gu Yu paused when he heard this, turned his head to look at the two veterans, and said the famous sentence that has been quoted by countless documentaries in the future as the most representative sentence of Gu Yu's career:

"Of course, it's just to find a way to do what you have to do."
