The third quarter lasted until the second half, and the Suns were still in turmoil like a boat on a rocking river.

The good-natured Nash repeatedly let out angry roars, hoping to wake up his teammates who had fallen into the devil's barrier with his roar, reunite the Suns, and restore the glory of the Suns team that once swept the league with a Kombat whirlwind.

However, Nash is a defender and not a psychological master, and even a psychological master can't control the situation at this time. Don't forget, they're behind now, by double digits, and if they fail, they'll have to be knocked home.

Nash's shouts irritated the players, Oden and Barbosa wanted to win, but they did it in a way that they thought they could help the team, everyone was trying, but unfortunately it didn't fit together.

As the saying goes, if you find yourself on the wrong path, stopping in time is a successful progression. The Suns' players' efforts have made their path the opposite one, and the harder they work, the farther they go down the wrong path.

The Warriors' lead began to grow more and more secure, Nash's roar grew louder and louder, and some Suns fans heard Nash's roar, and some people became in tears: in this predicament, Nash's roar especially seemed helpless and desperate!

"It's a shame that we're opponents and not teammates." Chamberlain gave Nash a deep look, this thin man had earned him unprecedented respect.

Now the Suns can only score through misplaced singles or wave shots, if a person is unwilling to wake up, no one can wake him up, the Suns players found that no matter how hard they tried, they were powerless to change the tide of the game, and became more impetuous, and even Oden began to wave shots.

As a result, Nash's wonderful passes were transformed into iron strikes one by one.

In addition to the increasing number of hits and turnovers, the Suns have been declining in other numbers, such as the shooting percentage and attack conversion rate.

There was no way, the Suns had to play unconventionally, Nash decided not to pass the ball anymore, and he started scoring on his own.

Nash is known as the No. 1 point guard on the offensive end, not only for his elusive passing, but also for his terrifying scoring ability, whether it is three-pointers, mid-range shots, breakaway throws, and pull-up layups.

But how can one beat a team? At the end of the third quarter, the Suns trailed by 17 points at 68-85, and it was not that there was no chance to turn the game, but the Suns were so chaotic that there was really no hope.

In the fourth quarter, the Warriors began to defend, and their defensive intentions were obvious, and the interior did not do anything to restrict Oden and Xiaosi, locked the outside space, and pressed Nash with all their might.

With less than seven minutes into the game, the Warriors had a 20-point lead at 94-74.

Everyone on the Suns is struggling to hold up, and Nash is now the number one big man in the charge.

But Nash is a man, not an iron man, and even an iron man can't stand playing like him, and finally, halfway through the fourth quarter, he was so tired that he had to be replaced off the court by Kentry.

When he left the scene, Nash's handsome face had no expression, and he walked down in despair, his thin back full of loneliness and loneliness.

Iverson strode over, grabbed Nash, hugged him fiercely, his lips squirmed rapidly, no one knew what he said to Nash, and no one cared. The sensual female fans couldn't help but burst into tears, and even the strong male fans, many of them had red eyes.

At the end of the season, Nash is a year older, his old partner Xiao Si is leaving, and yes, he is one step away from the possibility of winning the championship.

The rest of the game was very simple, the Suns simply lost the battle of life and death, and after Nash went off the court, the team collapsed directly, and even once there was a scene of Oden and Lopez on the outside, Dragic and Dudley on the inside to grab rebounds.

Nash couldn't watch, he wrapped his head in a towel and shrunk back on the bench with his head in his hands.

At this moment, everyone can feel the despair of the Wind Child that goes deep into the bone marrow.

"A Bitter Ending", "California Sports News" rushed out the draft after the game overnight, and on the cover of the newspaper, the photo of Nash wrapping his head with a towel and holding his head in his hands is particularly clear.

Despite the absence of tears, expressions, or words, Nash's photograph is heavily tragic.

Such a newspaper, such a night, may become a precious memory many years later.

The bitter ending is indeed a very accurate summary of the series between the Suns and the Warriors.

When the Warriors players cheered and hugged each other, and when the Suns players stood on the court in despair, the drama of the Western Conference semifinals finally ended with sighs.

When the whistle blew, the more than 3,000 Sun-jersey fans in the stadium all stood up spontaneously, and they remained motionless, silently staring into the stadium.

The men wore neat orange T-shirts with the Sun's logo and the Sun's playoff slogan, "The Sun Rises."

But at this time, the Suns could no longer rise, and Li Qun said in Sports Weekly: "Just like the ancient Chinese myth and legend, the warriors shot down the sun with a divine bow, and for Phoenix fans, at that moment, it was dark and ......."

At that time, none of the Suns fans at the scene left, they looked sadly at the more sad players, especially Nash, who had already stood up at this time, but the fans were even more sad.

Vaguely, they could see Nash's red eyes, and it was clear that the man, who looked thin but had a heart as strong as iron, had been crying before.

Nash led his teammates to the other side of the court, hugged everyone on the Warriors, and congratulated them.

Chamberlain stepped forward, he took off his jersey that had been worn for a season, handed it to Nash, hugged him and whispered, "You did a great job, Steve, you have given your last drop of blood for your team!" You are the hero tonight, you are the only hero! ”

Iverson stepped forward, and he hugged Nash and said, "Man, we'll meet again next season's Western Conference Finals, and, think about my mention, your team is obviously going to rebuild, and it's time for you to think about yourself."

Nash nodded, returned to his own half, he gathered his teammates together, formed a circle, stood in the middle of the circle, and said to his teammates: "Our game is over, but we still have a long way to go, in the summer, no matter where we are, we have to practice hard, each of us has trained strongly, next season, our team will be stronger!" ”

The fans didn't know what they were talking about, but they could see the stubborn and unyielding look on Nash's face, and then there was a real thunderous applause in the arena, and the proud Warriors fans finally roared for their opponents on their home court: "Nash, MVP!" Nash, MVP! Nash, the overall champion! ”

Some female fans and young fans quietly wiped the corners of their eyes with their hands, and tears were already bursting out. They were reluctant to leave for a long time, until the radio sounded "See you next season, dear friend", and they slowly left their seats and walked to the aisle, and could not help but glance back.

Speaking at the press conference after the game, Nash bit his lip and said: "I'm a fighter and I want to go on the court and win, but it always takes a process, we will always have ups and downs, and I'm sure our coming year will be better." ”

Chamberlain also said: "They lost, they fell in front of the door of the Western Conference Finals, but I want to say that they don't have to feel humiliated at all, especially Nash, no one is in a position to accuse him of anything, the Suns fans should be proud of him, he is really a fighter, even if he is alone, he is holding a spear and a shield and doing his best to defend their city, I need to pay tribute to him here, Steve Nash, amazing guy!" ”

The victor didn't need to be sentimental, and when Chamberlain returned to the locker room after attending the press conference, a bucket of warm water was poured over his head, and then he heard the arrogant laughter of West, Jackson, and others.

Chamberlain opened his arms very much and waited for the water to flow, he looked at West and Jackson and laughed, "It's cool, guys, it's so cool!" One more bucket for me to drink! Also, I recommend that you drink more water, because you are going to face Kobe Bryant soon, Delonti, Stephen, you have to defend Kobe, I think you will be tired and dehydrated by then! ”

The smiles on the faces of West and Jackson suddenly stiffened, and West said dissatisfiedly, "You're so boring, Z, damn it, what do you mean by bringing up such a topic at this time?" Moreover, Am I afraid of Kobe? Don't be funny, he's Kobe, not Michael Jordan. ”

"I'd rather face Jordan." Curry smiled dryly, looking at everyone in surprise at him, he explained: "I haven't played against Jordan, so I don't know how good this guy is, but I know how good Kobe Bryant is." ”

Hill stepped forward and hugged Curry, patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's your luck, kid, you have to thank God for not letting you meet Michael, otherwise I bet you'll leave a shadow as long as you touch the ball in your life." ”

Iverson also sighed: "If you want to know how strong MJ is, it's very simple, think about what it would be like if you were to face five Kobe Bryant at the same time, that's MJ!" ”

Marbury spread his hands and said, "Don't do that, guys, it's a good day, we're in the Western Conference Finals, shouldn't we celebrate?" ”

Barnes said excitedly, "Maybe we should go to the strip bar and have enough?" ”

One hour after the end of the Warriors' game against the Suns, the NBA officially announced the start time of the Western Conference Finals. The first Western Conference Finals between the two teams will be played in Oakland at 7:30 p.m. West Coast Time on May 17, while the second game is scheduled for 8 p.m. on the 19th.

The remaining game time is still to be determined.

Since the Cavaliers and Celtics are tied 2-3 in the East, if the two sides play hard, it will not be possible to decide the winner until the 16th.

In order to balance the East and West, the Western Conference Finals were set relatively late. The fight only started on the 17th, and the warriors could rest for 5 days, while the Suns, who had already finished fighting, could rest for 7 days.

Such a long break is extremely valuable for the Lakers, and the current team includes Kobe Bryant, Ron Artest, Andre Bynum, Lamar Odom and Shannon Brown are still playing with injuries, and pitcher Sasha Vujacic is also recovering from injury and waiting to return, so the week's rest comes at the right time.

But speaking of which, the Warriors still take some advantage, the playoffs are not about the longer the break, the better, as the saying goes, the player's feel and game feeling are time-sensitive, if you rest for too long, the feel will cool, and when it comes to the game, you have to find the feeling again, which is more troublesome.

The Warriors have been working hard to prepare for the playoffs since they started, and the players really haven't had a good rest, especially the veteran ruffians like Jackson Barnes, and they don't have the opportunity to have fun.

As the group was eyebrow-fighting, old Nelson came in like a whirlwind, and he pointed at Jackson and said angrily, "Listen to me, Stephen, if you dare to go to the bar during the break, then I swear you're going to sit on the bench for a year next season!" ”

Jackson was stunned by old Nelson, he pointed at Barnes again, and said, "Hi, boss, you're mistaken, it's not me organizing, it's Matt!" ”

Barnes was so angry that he glared at Jackson and yelled, "Bastard, you traitor to work! You betrayed me? Yes, it's me organizing, but don't tell me, you're not involved! ”

Iverson sighed and said, "What a pig teammate, the old man just came in, how does he know what we said earlier?" He just caught a random person and cheated two sentences, and as a result, you exposed all of them yourself! ”

Jackson and Barnes looked at each other, then sighed in unison, "Damn, the older you get, the more cunning you get!" ”
