This Forward is Not Serious

crazy!

The Suns players were celebrating like crazy!

Not everyone on this team has experienced the years when the Suns were defeated by the Spurs one after another.

But at this moment, their mood is the same as those who have experienced it!

Because throughout the past season, the teammates around them and the team staff will tell them what this team has been through.

And what the outcome of this series means to the Suns.

Otherwise, how could Dragic in history or Frye or the others in the present have continued to break out in this series? And why did they break out instead of the role players on the opposite Spurs team?

Mentality, not only in basketball games, can affect a person's performance at any time!

Nash wrapped his head in a towel, feeling a little out of control.

A not-too-cold trivia, Nash has never defeated the Spurs in the playoffs in all his previous careers!

That includes the time he played against the Spurs as a Suns player in 1998, his Mavericks career in 2001 and 2003, and his encounter with the Spurs in the 2005/07 playoffs after joining the Suns.

13-year career, 11 playoff trips, 5 encounters with the Spurs, "You can't beat a man when you meet the Spurs"!

Until today, until this moment, he finally broke this curse!

So many people can't understand his emotion, but it couldn't be more true!

At this time, Richardson went over and put his hand on Nash's shoulder.

He knew how Nash was feeling at this moment.

You can even see the eyes of Richardson, Stoudemire, and Barbosa all red.

Xiaosi couldn't help but arch his hands and cross his chest, roaring one after another.

That is the catharsis of their truest emotions!

Lin Ying was also deeply touched.

As mentioned earlier, he also experienced the culture of this Suns team in the past season.

So when he saw the scene in front of him and thought about his original choice, he suddenly felt very lucky.

He came to the right team!

In the final handshake ceremony, Duncan gave Lin Ying a tight hug while shaking hands.

Although he was unwilling to end the season in this way, the player who defeated him was also the player he valued.

So in a sense, he has a good vision.

At this time, he said something that Lin Ying wanted to hear and thought he should say:

"It's yours now."

…

"This Boss Cao is a little bit rich", "Ji Han is in the spotlight", "The loyal man Xuande Nash's family history".

In one round of the series, there were many more world famous works.

Then the day after the Suns swept the Spurs, the Lakers also swept the Jazz home cleanly.

King of the North West won yet another Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.

The Suns and Lakers successfully met in the West (luo) and decided (yang)!

Lin Ying originally said to meet Durant in the Western Conference Conference, but Durant "broke the appointment", but Lin Ying showed up!

And it’s a bit heartbreaking to say that last year’s Western Conference finals were played against the Nuggets and Lakers, and the only person from that Nuggets team to get in front of the Lakers was Lin Ying!

Lin Mi: So it’s not the Nuggets who are stronger but Lin Huang!

Anthony: I've already run away with a bucket, and you still want to treat me to shrimp and pig heart? !

However, both the Nuggets and Suns are in the status of challengers. What they want to challenge is the overlord of this league, the Lakers!

The conference semifinals in the East are still fiercely fought, and the West will take the lead. This matchup has naturally become the focus of attention from fans and the outside world.

Some senior fans have also begun to educate fans about the background of this series.

Background 1: The Suns and Lakers have met in the playoffs three times in the past four years. The records were the Suns 4-3 Lakers in 2006, the Suns 4-1 Lakers in 2007, and the Lakers 4-0 Suns in 2009. The past few games between the two teams have been Years of grudges are grossly underestimated.

Background 2: In the 2006 playoffs, Bell once used a famous "choke" on Kobe. However, Kobe did not choose to take action. Instead, he expressed disdain for Bell's behavior, and in the next game 35 Scored 50 points on 20 field goals.

Although, the Lakers still lost that game.

Background 3: This is the third year of Lin Ying's NBA career and the third time he has encountered the Lakers. In the previous two encounters, his Nuggets were eliminated by the Lakers!

Gratitude and grudges!

If you keep cutting, it will still become messy!

The game has attracted much attention, and the media also started making a lot of predictions before the game.

Judging from a real-time survey conducted by ESPN, more than 80% of people think the Lakers will eventually advance!

This is just for the fans. Celebrities, media and commentators basically have the same view.

"I respect this Suns team very much. Their performance is impressive, but the Lakers will still be the final winner. The Lakers can beat any opponent."

"Magic" Johnson said this.

"Other than injuries, I can't think of a reason why the Lakers lost this series. They will definitely defend their title."

"Vicious" Bill Simmons is more straightforward.

The Lakers' paper strength, level of integration, and even their competitive status have all reached a perfect state.

A team like this is, in a sense, unbeatable.

However, just when public opinion was overwhelming, an online "petition" signed by many Suns fans attracted a lot of attention.

"Dear Sir Barkley, we hope you will temporarily put aside your optimism about the Suns in the next games."

Literal translation: Barkley, stop your hate on the Suns!

This should be related to the previous G4 game against the Spurs.

Although from an analytical point of view, it is understandable that the Spurs played well in the last battle, but the intuitive effect is that Barkley was optimistic that the Suns would sweep the Spurs, and then the Suns almost overturned.

This petition was also broadcast on TNT. Buckley was stunned for a while after seeing it. The program was very effective.

But in the end, Buckley accepted the "petition."

If you were to make a list of people who want the Suns to win, Barkley's name would definitely be on it.

And because of this, TNT also interviewed some netizens who signed the above, and some of the responses they received were also touching and sad.

A fan named Serna said this:

“Phoenix has the most passionate fans in the league, it’s like this ever-burning hot place.

Although this city has never won the championship, my support for it will never change, just like my love for Steve Nash who has always been running.

Steve once said that he was willing to trade his MVP trophy for a championship.

I could totally feel his desire because he had been so close.

That’s what I and we long for too!

But we're all getting older, and we don't know if the team can make it to the conference finals again next year.

This year may not be the best opportunity, but it may be the last chance, who knows?

So we hope to do our best to support this old boy and let him know how many people are supporting him and this team! "

This should be a Nash fan.

Another fan named Smith wrote:

“I’ve been a fan since the 1990s, and I fell in love with the Suns because of Charles Barkley.

But this team has been cursed for a long time since then, never making it to the Finals again.

But I know we have always had this strength, if it weren't for Joe's injury, if it weren't for that damn Robert Horry.

But now, we have that quality again and we only lost one game in the first two rounds!

We know there’s nothing we can do to help the players on the pitch, but we’ll do whatever we can off the pitch.

Steve, Amare, Lin, go win that damn championship! "

This is an old honey.

These are just the tip of the iceberg, but after reading what these people wrote, you can definitely feel their soulful desire.

The Suns joined the NBA in 1968 and have a history of 42 years, but they have only reached the Finals twice in team history.

How long the team's history is and how miserable its record is.

It is precisely because of this misery that after the team unexpectedly reached the Western Conference Finals this year, they burst out with all their desires!

…

There is still one day until the Western Conference Finals begins.

Because the Lakers have home court advantage, the game will start in Los Angeles first.

It was afternoon when the Suns arrived in Los Angeles, and Gentry had no training scheduled.

Playing against the Lakers not only has to pass the physical test, but also has to pass the psychological test. He doesn't want his players to be too anxious before the game.

Lin Ying and Brooke talked on the phone, and then went to the training hall.

Brooke's movie has been filmed and she originally planned to return to the UK, but because Lin Ying was about to play in a competition, she postponed her plan.

However, she also knew that this game was very important to Lin Ying, so she refrained from coming to see him. Instead, she waited until the day of the game to go to the Staples Center.

Mature women have the advantage of being mature women, they know where they are most comfortable for men.

When Lin Ying arrived at the training hall, what he never expected was that Stoudemire came earlier than him!

"I was so excited that I couldn't sleep."

Seeing Lin Ying coming, Xiaosi said with a smile.

And he had only been here for a while, and the two of them were warming up and chatting on the sidelines.

"I take back what I said last summer, when I said it would take us two to three years to win the championship. I think this year is our best chance!"

Stoudemire's attitude has undergone a 180° turn from before.

"Because of the Spurs sweep?"

Lin Ying asked.

"Yes, I thought we could beat them, but I didn't expect we could win so easily. It's a bit strange to say, but I think this is the best year for the team's strength and state since I came to the Suns."

Stoudemire is very passionate on the field and very quiet off the field. His speaking like this shows that he is really full of confidence now.

"I know we are about to face the Lakers. They are very strong, but I don't think we are weaker than them!"

And before Lin Ying could get ahead of him, he continued to speak eloquently and even stopped his warm-up movements.

“But we also need to anticipate the difficulties we may encounter.”

Lin Ying nodded, but still spoke to remind him.

"I know this, but this time it's not just for myself, I will do my best for Steve."

Xiaosi's tone was extremely firm when he said this.

Although they achieve mutual success, as the saying goes, the opponent is short-handed. He has been fed by Nash for so many years, and Nash's meaning to him is also very different.

He is still young and still has a chance, but Nash is really the tail end of the last two years.

The uncrowned king of two consecutive MVPs?

This ending is so sad.

"Yes, we all do."

Although Lin Ying was not as impressed as Stoudemire, because he and Nash had only been teammates for one year.

And he does it more because he wants to win this championship.

But this is not a conflict. They all have enough reasons to win the championship.

While they were chatting, Nash appeared at the door.

Talk about Liu Bei, Liu Bei is here.

"Why are you here too?"

Nash was obviously a little surprised.

Now, Gentry arranged for the team to rest, and the three core members of the team came to train!

And it wasn't just Nash, one after another, all the Suns players came to the training facility!

Obviously they weren't all on an appointment, but the scene was still shocking.

Lin Ying naturally thought of his previous experience in Denver.

At that time, in order to keep everyone motivated, he proposed that the whole team practice more to express their attitude.

But the Suns did not need him to suggest this at all, they all came on their own!

Sure enough, comparison is the scariest thing.

What was even more surprising to him was that a group of people didn't leave in a hurry after training. Instead, they sat down and talked about how to beat the Lakers tomorrow.

Some people say that on the defensive end, they can consider letting Ariza directly cover Kobe;

Some people say that the pace should be faster and the Lakers will not be comfortable playing in the triangle;

Some people say that they should beware of the Lakers grabbing Nash in the opening game;

This is the rhythm that turns each of them into a master tactician.

But what Lin Ying could feel was the strongest desire.

When you are very eager to do something well, you will use all your wisdom.

From the tactical level to the offensive details of a certain player.

The advantage of this kind of collective effort is that all the details and opinions can be brought together, and you will really find a lot of useful new things.

Even Lin Ying discovered some.

For example, Butler described in detail some of Kobe's offensive habits that he didn't even know about.

After everyone discussed it, he actually had the same sense of boldness that Stoudemire had before.

They really have a chance this time!

And if you count the NBA championships in recent years, you will find that this emotion of "desire" plays a crucial role in them.

The three old men of the Celtics in 2008 came together because of their extreme desire for the championship, not to mention Kobe's revenge in 2009.

Even if you look back with the eyes of history, the year the Mavericks won the championship in 2011 fully reflected this point in history.

And that is also the most obvious label on this Suns team now!

Thinking about it, he couldn't wait any longer!

And he is also looking forward to what kind of expression Kobe will have when he sees such a sun appearing in front of him.

…

The next night, Staples Center was packed.

Among all the Hollywood movie stars on the sidelines, Nicholson is still the most handsome one.

Of course Brooke was sitting in the front row and she should be the only one supporting the Suns.

Half an hour before the start of the game, players from both sides began to enter the field.

This much-anticipated Western Conference Finals, the battle to determine the final winner of this group of heroes, the war between the "grand master" and the "uncle emperor" has finally begun!
